THE KANSAS STRUGGLE.
Peace Reigns Once More In the CapItoi
at Topeka.

AOpGkAs
TOPEKA, Kan, Feb lS-War is
Rverted for a time at least. After a
consultation lasting from 9 o'clock To
1890 Gov. Lewelling signed the peace
agreement with the republican house
of representatives. BY its terms the
militia companies are to be sent home
at once and the sheriff is to discharge
all of his deputies The repub-
licans are to be left in full and
undisputed possession of repre-
sentative hall, and the populist house
is to hold sessions in a room outside of
the capitol building. BY the terms of
the agreement neither house is to inter.
fere with the proceedings of the other.
The news of the settlement of the
revolution was received in republican
hall with the widest demonstrations
of Joy. Cheer after cheer echoed
through the broad corridors of the
state house. Hats were thrown in the
air, coats were taken off and waved
wildly. This demonstration ceased
only when the legislators and deputy
sheriffs had cried themselves hoarse.
The populists are very much discour-
aged at the turn affairs have taken,
and are abusing the governor Tor agree
ing to the terms of peace. Many of the
leaders say that they will not obey the
supreme court if it decides against
them.
TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 2o.--Judge z. r.
Hazen of the district court sustained
the motion of the republican house for
permanent injunction restraining the
state treasurer from paying any
warrants issued by authority of the
legislative appropriation bill passed
by the populist house. This is virtual.
ly recognition of the constitutionality
of the Douglass house, and the mem
bers are iubilant over the victory.

FOUR FOUND MURDERED
Terrible Domestic Tragedy at New
Haven, Pa.
FATHER, MOTHER AND CHILDREN.

I'll Had Their Throats Cut from Ear to
Ear, and 1t is Generally Believed That
the Father Was tho Author OF the Ter
ribIe Deed.
CoNNELLsvILLE, Pa, May 30.-A horrible
tragedy was discovered in New Haven, just
across the river from here, yesterday after
noon. An entire family named Hoy, con-
sistlng Of mother, father and two children,
were found murdered in their house.
The Hoys lived in a house in the thickly
settled neighborhood of New Haven, and
no one had ever dreamed that such trag-
edy could be enacted without arousing the
neighborhood.
The Hoys had not been seen during the
day, and it was not until neighbor called
at the house on an errand that the terrible
tragedy was discovered. The victims were
all lying dead in the same room, and from
appearances they had been dead for some
time.
The discovery caused intense excitement
In the locality, and in few minutes the
house was surrounded by an immense
crowd, while the building was crowded to
suffocation.
At this writing It is impossible to give
any detail of the fearful crime. A theory
prevails that the husband perpetrated the
crime and then committed suicide. The
coroner has been notified and an investi-
CATION is now In progress.
The bodies were discovered by Mrs. Mary
Egan, Hoy's mother by former husband.
When she entered the house she was
Mortified to see large pools of blood on the
floor. She rushed through the house and
up stairs to the bed room of her son. The
sight that met her gaze was terrible.
Stretched on the bed was Mrs. Hoy and at
the foot of IL, on the floor, was Hoy cold
in death. Both had their throats cut from
ear to ear. Mrs Egan ran from the house
screaming. A short distance away she
tainted and was carried into a neighbor's
house. After the alarm was given hun
dreds of people focked to the scene Of the
tragedy. The doors were barred however,
and no one was admitted until evening,
when Coroner Baton and jury viewed the
bodies.
In room back of their parents lay Will
lam Hoy, aged 3, and his sister, Portia,
aged 0, neatly tucked under the bed
clothes. both their throats cut from ear to
ear. Behind the right cor OF the girl vas
wound from the blunt end of q hatchet
that was found in her fathers room. The
jury seemed to be convinced that Hoy COM
mitted the horrible butchery. Coroner
Baton adjourned the inquest until Satur-
day. The mysterious part of the tragedy
is the splashes of blood scattered all
through the house.
Mrs. Hoy was an attractive woman, 2S
years of age. Hoy was 35 years old, and
until six weeks ago was n conductor on
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. At that
time he was suspended for getting drunk
in Cumberland, and has not worked since.
Officer Aiken, it has been learned, saw a
man hurriedly leave Hoy's house in the
afternoon and chased the fellow several
miles, but was unable to capture him.
This statement makes the tragedy very
mysterious. Much excitement prevails in
New Haven.

THE BRIGGS TRIAL.
II VIII Probably Lead to tho Founda-
tIon OF n New Theology.

tion OF n New Theology.
WASHINGTON, May 30.-A cold cheerless
rain, that fell steadily all day spread a wet
blanket OF depression over the proceedings
Of the General Assembly of the Presby-
terian church yesterday, sitting as q high
court for the trial of Charles A. Briggs,
d. d., upon the charges contained in the
appeal OF the prosecution committee from
the judgment OF acquittal entered by the
New York presbytery.
The principal argument for the prosecu-
tion was by Rev Joseph J. Lampe. d. D.,
who finished after having spoken three
hours and quarter.
Professor Briggs began his answer and
defense, to which seven hours had been al
lotted, and continued il at the evening ses-
sion. He will conclude IT this afternoon,
and then Colonel McCook will close for
the prosecution. 1t is scarcely probable
that a vote on the question of sustaining
the appeal will be reached before to-
morrow.
CINCINNATI, May 80 1t is learned from
authentic sources that Professor Briggs
has been corresponding with Il. ID. Norris
OF Lane seminary, concerning the best
method of forming new church. Dr.
Briggs wants to raise the banner OF a new
theology. Professor Morris has replied to
the letter, attempting to discourage the
scheme. The movement has not been
squelched, however, MS it is known that
four well known liberal Presbyterians Of
CINCINNATI have gone to Washington with
the avowed intention Of assisting DR..
Briggs new church project.
