from Virginia and was fairly well of.
He followed the business of trading IN
fast horses. In S54 Rippey first met

This fact is a direct contradiction OF

well acquainted and had dealings
together. Rippey left Denver in '76

Crowds and business tho Features.
Tempting Beef Exhibits.
Not for a number Of weeks have the
city markets been so crowded as they
we're to-day. Between the hours Of 8 and
II this morning the largest markets we're
Overwhelmingly crowded and specie
poured into the already well-flled tills
behind the counters during that time.
Although the advent Of the hot-house
vegetables in the markets proved TO be a
drawing card, the principal attraction
was "show" beef, It was the show beef
day proper, Of the '93 Washington's
Birthday festivities and it was a bright
day indeed for the WILMINGTON butchers.
This brought people from their homes
not only in the city, but in the country
and show beef will probably be eaten in
nine out of every ten homes which are
fortunate TO have meat in the larder
tomorrow In fact, the Sunday dinner
will be a show beef feast tomorrow
Everywhere the meat stalls were pic
lures of taste aud everything was
arranged In the most tempting stYle The
beef was trimmed aud cut into pieces
with all the skill that experienced
butchers, with sharpened tools, could
exercise.
There was a scarcity Of all poultry,
except chickens, in the markets all day
aud such as game, squads, turkeys and
ducks were very hard TO find.

DESERTED HIS FAMILY.
Rippey Left His Wife and Children for
the West-Well-known in Cincinnati

Rippey Left His Wife and Children for
the West-Well-known in Cincinnati
CINcINNATI, Feb. 25-Wesley G
Rippey, years ago was well and favOrably
known in Cincinnati. His wife at present
lies at deaths door at the home Of her
son, W. c. Rippey, Jr., at Idlewild
Another son lives at No. 531 Eastern
avenue. The former is a government
gauger and the latter, William, a manu-.
facturer of preserved goods on Long
worth street
Thirty years ago the father was a ship
builder here, well known in river circles
He took his family to Cape Girardeau,
No, and soon deserted them. The boys
brought their mother back to this city,
where they have since lived.
At long intervals they heard from the
father out West. The last tidings came
in 1887 from Saa Francisco. Six months
ago a letter was received from a San
Francisco bank asking information
about Rippey, who had rented a safe de
posit box. Nothing more was heard of
the missing husband and father until a
reporter informed them of yesterday E
tragic affair.
While here Rippey was regarded as
peculiar and eccentric, but no question
was ever raised, the family say, as to his
sanity. They supposed in the long years
that he was prospecting in the West anC
would some day come back wealthy. Oi
late, however. they have considered hin

The Timely Discovery of Explosives
Saves a Distillery From Destruction.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 25.-There is a
report Of daring attempt to blow up
Dolsworth distillery at Cumminsville
late last evening. A trap had been set
and was only discovered after great
deal of shrewd work.
Under the building, in place to be
reached by highwater, was a quantity of
phosphate anhydrite and nitro glycerine
The phosphate anhydrant explodes when
it comes in contact with water. This
would ignite the nitro glycerine and the
whole distillery and bonded warehouse
would be blown to atoms. 1t is precisely
the scheme employed to blow up the
Shufeldt distillery at Chicago.

A Swedish Pugl list Nearly Killed by His
Opponent in the Ring.
SAN Francisco, Feb 25-At the
termination of the bantam weight fight
between Dal Hawkins and Billy Miller, a
Swede, before the Pacific Athletic club,
last night, Hawkins was arrested for the
apparently fatal injuries he inflicted
upon Miller.
The fight lasted fifteen rounds and it was
apparent early in the contest that there
could be but one result-a victory for
Hawkins Miller was punished severely
and grew weaker each round. His
seconds advised him tc throw up the
sponge, but he declined, declaring that
be was not suffering greatly. Finally,
in the fifteenth round. the Swede col
lapsed under light blow and fell for
ward on his face. He was counted out
and when the usual time for resuscita
tion was reached he failed to show signs
of Consciousness.
A patrol wagon was summoned and the
PROSTATE fighter was removed to the
receiving hospital. Meanwhile officers
took charge Of Hawkins and his seconds.
It was believed Miller was suffering from
conclusion of the brain and a fatal issue
was expected. This morning, however,
reports are that Miller is recovering
consciousness and there is a better
chance for his recovery. No charge has
yet been made against Hawkins and his
companions.

BY a Double Murder.
BULLETS END A QUARREL

Two spaniards Shot BY an English Enc
my at Barcelona--The Assassin Pre-
vented From Killing Himself BY an
Excited Crowd-Rescued From Mob
Law BY the Police.
MADRID, Feb. 25.-A frlghtful tragedy
occurred to-day in Barcelona. An Eng
lishman named Samuel Pastor entered the
Office of Bofll Brothers in that city
and drawing pistol fred deliberately at
Jose Bofll, a member of the firm. The
bullet took deadly effect and Jose Bofll
had only time to utter an exclamation be
fore falling lifeless on the floor of the
office.
The assassin then turned his weapon
against the brother of Jose, who was try
ing to save his murdered brother and
partner. The assassin's aim was not SO
true in this instance, but he succeeded
in inAicting a severe, though probably
not fatal wound. Then Pastor turned
the weapon and aimed at himself.
By this time the noise of the shots had
attracted crowd and people came rush
ing into the office. Before Pastor had
time to kill himself he was seized and
securely pinioned.
There was great excitement and some
of the crowd threatened violence against
the murderer, but the police succeeded
in lodging him safely in prison. Many
rumors are ahoat as to the motive for the
assassination, but none of the stories
have so far been verified.

COMPETING WITH PRISONERS.
Chicago Clothing Operatives Starved by

Chicago Clothing Operatives Starved by
Competition with New York Convicts
CHICAGO Feb 25.-The Legislative
Committee investigating the sweat shops
of Chicago secured, yesterday, what they
regard as the most important testim ony
yet given.
It was to the effect that clothing made
in New York state prison at Sing Sing, was
handled by nearly every wholesale clothing
frm in Chicago. These goods we're the
very cheapest on the market, the wit
ness said, and it was competition with
them that had reduced wages in Chicago
sweat shops to the present starvation
level
This discovery will lead to the intro
duction of a resolution in the Legisla-
ture, calling on Congress to restrict the
sale of convict made clothing to the
state in which it is manufactured.
