SEYMOUR. Nov. 26-Special.-As the
result Of a terrible tragedy growing out
oc family feud five people are dead to-
night in their country homes seven
miles east of this city.
-Four years ago Clinton Jordan. then
tN Nenty-one years old, married a daugh-
ter OF Joshua Foster. with whom he has
never lived happily
Last week they separated finally and
she returned to the home of her father.
Late last night Jordan met his father
in-law and accompanied him home con-
trary to the wishes of the latter. who
feared trouble.
Jordan promised to behave. but soon
after his arrival at Fosters home he
began a quarrel. Foster then ordered
him out Of the house.
Immediately Jordan fired at the old
man, but missed him, the ball striking
Miss Cora Foster. aged seventeen, in
the head. killing her instantly.
His scond shot hit Mr.. Foster in the
head and he fell, but he soon rose and
ran on a fourth OF mile 10 the bonie
OF his sOn-in-iaw, William Powell, where
he fell and fingered until late this after
noon, when he died.
Jordan then turned his revolver to
ward Mrs. Foster. his mother-in-law.
shooting her in the neck, the bali rang
ing downward and causing a wound
from which she died tonight.
Jordan's wife attempted TO defend her
mother, and he stabbed her repeatedly
in the breast, hands and face and end
ed by shooting her through the head.
Jordan then coolly opened his vest and
placed the revolver against his breast,
sending the bali directly through his
heart.
He dropped dead instantly, falling
across the dead body of his wife.
The pistol was placed so close TO the
breast of Jordan that his clothing
caught fire and was literally burned or
Of him. the skin dropping from his body
when it was lifted, and his corpse pre-
serted a horrible sight.
The revolver was a new thirtyeight
caliber Smith & WessOn, and it had
evidently been bought with premedi-
tated purpose Of killing his victims.
The knife with which the murderer's
wife was so cruelty gashed was also
new and long. and it had been freshly
sbarpened.
Mr.. Foster. the aged victim, was sixty
years old and his wife was fifty. Mrs.
Jordan was eighteen years old.
Foster had an unsavory reputation,
and when drinking, which he often
did. he was ugly and quarrelsome.
All the other victims were peaceful
and orderly citizens. Jordan, the as
sassin and suicide, was illiterate and very
stupid, but he had always been consid-
cred harmless. His parents were re-
spectacle people.
The scene at the Foster homestead IS
one of the most horrible ever witnessed
in this county, and the excitement is
intense.
Had not Jordan killed himself he
would certainly have been very sum-
marily punished by the enraged people.

GOSHEN, Nov. 26.-First section Of
train No. 60. the fast mail express be-
tween Chicago and New York, pulled
into this city last night with eight des-
perate robbers on board. Between this
city and Elkhart they had made re-
peated efforts to uncouple a number OF
cars with, it is believed. the idea Of
wrecking the fast express train which
passed here close behind the meat train.
Train No. 60 pulled out Of Elkhart at
1890 this morning with orders TO run
to Ligionier without stopping. When it
had left EIkhart a mile behind, the train
crew, which consisted Of Conductor John
Hickok and two brakemen, found that
eight men were on the train, having con-
cealed themselves between the cars.
The fellows made an effort to uncouple
the last ten cars Of the train. but their
efforts were foiled by the traiumen after
hard fight. The crew, however, was
not able to drive the men off the train.
Five miles further on another attempt
was made to uncouple the cars and an
other fight resulted, which lasted until
the train was pulling into Goshen.
Hicko1 and one of his brakemen were
badly battered up in the struggle. The
engineer blew his whistle for help and
in a few minutes two officers and a
crowd Of citizens were at the train, but
the robbers had made their escape, tax
ing with them the watches of the en-
gineer, two brakemen and Conductor
Hickok. They also secured a small sum
Of money from each Of the trainmen.
Later in the night a man giving the
name Of Henry Zimmerman was ar
rested and in his shoes was found S4
the amount taken from one Of the
brakemen. William Cone was also
taken into custody, after making a hard
fight, and S12 taken from the conductor
was found on him. Zimmerman claims
to be a resident of Kendallville and
Cone Of Benton HarbOr, Mich. The for
tradicting stories told by the former.
all Of which have been proven false, are
practically enough to convict him. It
is believed by the Lake Shore officials
that the men intended to leave the Un-
coupled cars standing upon the track
with the idea Of wrecking the express
train and plundering the express car
President Newell OF the Lake Shore
was here this morning and offered a
reward of $4,000 for the capture and
conviction of the eight men, or $500 for
the capture and conviction OF one of
them. The express train which the rob
bers endeavored to wreck is the same
train which was held up and robbed at
Kessler in September.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 27.-The
new democratic tariff bill was given out
TO the public today, and its provisions
fulfill every expectation Of those who
have predicted that it would lie a rad
zeal measure of reform.
In many respects it is a surprise
even TO the democratic members Of
congress. as it is unprecedented in
many Of its provisions. The free list
IS of that liberal scope sufficient to
satisfy the most radical advocates Of
reform, and the repudiation Of he prin-
ciple Of reciprocity, which has been the
pride OF the republicans and the bette
noir Of the democrats for a number Of
years. is decisive and emphatic
Thus the BILL in addition to the re-
forms IL makes in the customs laws.
will necessitate immediate readjustment
OF treaties with those South American
countries which enjoy practical or the
oretical reciprocity with the great Amer
ican republic of the northern hemi-
sphere. The bounty on sugar. which
was to be so promptly repealed, is in
stead TO be repealed by easy gradatiOns,
and will not reach it's conclusive effect
until after the end of the present CEN
tury.
The meeting of the ways and means
committee was very brief. All the dem
ocratc members were on hand. but the
only republican members present were
Reed, Burrows, Hopkins, Payne and Dali
zell
Immediately after the roll-call Chair
man Wilson spread the bill before the
committee ana the clerk instantly there
after supplied it to the members of the
press on the outside. The only advance
copy furnished was one given to the
white house messenger a half-hour pre-
ViOus fO- transmission to the president
No business whatever was transacted
by the committee. The republican mem
bers were supplied with copies of the
bill. few jocular remarks being made
and the committee adjourned to give
time to the minority to examine the
measure. Most Of the republican mem
bers declined TO express any opinion on
the bill until they have had an oppor-
tunity to examine il in detail

DID nE KILL ms DkoTmERr
Young Walter Eggers Suspected of
Frntrfcide.

MARTINSVILLE, Nov. 27.-Special.-
Clifton Eggers. a farmer with a large
family, living in jefferson township, has
son lying dead at home from a bullet
in the region of the heart and another
son in Jail here awaiting the corOners
investigation.
William, aged twenty years, loved
girl in the neighborhood who at times,
it is stated, encouraged and then re-
PEELED his attentions. When out of favor
with her his brother Walter and other
members of the family say he was very
much detected and would say that death
was preferable The father was drink
ing last evening and had some words
with Walter, aged eighteen, and slapped
him. William took Walters part and
thus further angered their father, who
drove the boys from the house.
Soon after a revolver shot was heard
and William was mOrtally wounded.
This occurred about o'clock Sunday.
The boy lived until o'clock this morn
ing. He said to John Williamson, who
sat up with him, that he did not shoot
himself and did not know who did
shoot him. Walter says that when their
father drove william and him from the
house William started to attend d meet
ing at Buffalo, and that William seemed
so despondent that he CWalter) followed
several yards behind, thinking he might
be needed to keep his brother from COM
mitting suicide. He says that he was
perhaps fifty yards from the house when
he saw Willie take out his revolver and
put a cartridge in it, and that before
he could reach him he shot himself.
No one else was near it seems.
A younger brother called TO some one
passing:
Come over here, Walter has killed
William"
Walter later went for John William
son ard told him that his brother William
had shot himself and asked Williamson
if he would go over to the house and
sit up with William. Walter did not at
tempt to escape, but went about among
the neighbor's informing them of Will
iam's condition.
There is no evidence that there was
a quarrel between Walter and his dead
brother 1t was the dead boys revolver
that the shooting was done with.
