THE PRESIDENT TALKS.

He Will Call Congress to Meet in Special
Session Next September Important Dec
1arations on the Financial Question.
WASHINGTON June 6.-The president
said Monday evening in reply to a di
rect question that he intended to call
an extra session of congress not earlier
than the 1st nor later than the 18th of
September, unless unexpected contin-
gencies should necessitate an earlier
meeting. The president further said:
while there has been no mystery or secrecy
in regard TO my intention in this matter l think
it not amiss that our people should be informed
authoritatively that the time is at hand when
their representatives in congress will be called
upon to deal with in2G >conditon
which is the only menace to fys well
fare and prosperity. 1t is wi Me people
to take up the subject for themselves, and ar
rive at their conclusions as to the merits of q
financial policy which obliges up to purchase
idle silver bullion With gold taken from our re-
serve
"One does not need the eye OF financier to
see that this gold thus substracted from the
governments stock is eagerly seized by other
nations for the purpose of strengthening their
credit at our expense, 1t does not need the art
of craftsmanship to detect the danger that
awaits upon the continuance of this operation.
Already the timdity of capital is painfully ap-
parent, and none of us can fail to see that fear
and apprehension in monetary circles will ulti-
mately bring suffering to every humble home in
| our land.
~ think that between now and the meeting
| OF congress much depends upon the action of
| those engaged in financial operations and
| business enterprises Our vast national
| resources and credit abundantly
| sufficient to justify them in the utmost
| faith and confidence. II instead of be-
ing frightened they are conservative, and IL in
stead of gloomly anticipating immediate dis
| aster they contribute their share OF hope and
steadiness, they will perform patriotic duty
and at the same time protect their own interest.
| The things just now needed cooness ana
calmness in financial circles and study and re-
| Election among our people,"

BRAVE MEN KILLED.

rwo Fifemen Lose Their Lives and Sew.
~ral Aro injured by the Collapse of the
Walls Of Burning Building in Omaha,
Ncb.
OMAHA, Neb., June 5.-The large
furniture house of Charles Shiverick e.
Co, on Farham street, burned to the
ground Saturday night, and the fire
was attended withthe death of Capt
C. ID. Cox and Robert Ouray of the fire
department, and the fatal injury of
Firemen Ben Morris, Charles Ellington,
George Coulter, G. II. Pringle and James
Conley, of Scranton, Pa, bystander.
The loss on the building is S4O,0 900 and
the stock s150,000. Ed Maurers res
taurant next door was damaged S25,-
900.
During the progress of the fire the
west wall fell, burying the fremen in
the ruins. The fire was caused by
lightning in the worst storm ever ex-
perienced in Omaha. For six hours the
rain descended in torrents and the
lightning never ceased. Telephone and
telegraph wires are burned out, cellars
flooded in almost every part of the city,
and it is roughly estimated that $780,
600 worth of damage has been done to
property.
Heavy rains earlier in the day had
pretty well filed the lowlands of Omaha
and shortly after appeals began to
come in to the police station for help
from the rising waters in the northern
part of the city. The fire alarm was
sounded and several companies sent to
| the scene. Another force of firemen
| was assigned to the southern districts
of the city, where like situation pre-.
| vailed. The firemen found many fam
| lilies in the second stories of their dwell
| lings with current as swift as the
| Missouri threatening to start their
homes down the river. In many places
the flood was 8 feet deep and rising
with alarming rapidity.
| Firemen went to the rescue of the
imprisoned people with everything
that would float two persons. Shed
doors were in demand, and in some
instances prominent citizens came
sailing down the middle of the
avenues between the street cal
tracks on their parlor doors, hastily
detached for the purpose of going
for assistance for their families
Those residing in cottages in flooded
districts were in the greatest danger
and many were forced to the highest
point of any single story houses to avoit
the rushing torrents
Hundreds of people lined the higl
grounds surrounding the inundated
places to render what assistance wa
possible to those seeking shelter aftel
being driven from their homes. Th
districts from which families were re
moved from their homes were in tn
vicinity of Grace, Clark, Twenty
fourth and Nineteenth streets on tn
north, and along Costello and adjacen
avenues on the south.

Failure in Toilet, Ill.

JOLIET, H., June 5.-The old veteran
stone company of Sanger. Moody &
Steel made an assignment in favor OF
their creditors, with assets aggregating
Sl77,7O0 and liabilities only S5S, 900.
The bulk of the liabilities are with
the bank, which are more than
secured by trust deeds. The firm
was compelled to assign because
they could not get money to go ahead
with their business and could not sell
their stone. The government owes
them $4,000, which they cannot get
and with the banks pressing them for
money they were forced 20 surrender.

FOR HER LIFE.
Miss Lizzie Borden Placed on Trial-Shs
Is Charged with the Murder of Her
Father and Stepmother.

Miss Lizzie Borden Placed Trial-She
Is Charged with the Murder of Her
Father and Stepmother.
New BEDFORD, Mass. June 6.-The
trial of Miss Lizzie A. Borden, charged
with the murder of her father and step
mother, August 4, 1892, was begun at
IL a. m. Monday. After nine hours of
rigid examination jury was secured.
The defendant was arraigned and
pleaded not guilty. She manifested
coolness that approached Indifference
to the proceedings.
tThe double murder of Andrew j. Borden and
his wife took place In this city shortly before
noon on Augusta 4, 1892 The body of the old
gentleman was found on sofa in the paror OF
the house and that OF Mrs. Borden In a
bed chamber on the second floor Death in
both cases had been caused by repeat
ed blows OF some heavy, sharp in
strument on the face, neck and head. Although
Mr.. Borden was worth half a million dollars,
there is no evidence to indicate that robbery
had been the motive of the crime. No plate or
money or any of the valuables of the mansion
were messing nor had single thing been
moved from the bodies.
There were, so far as is yet known, but two
persons besides Borden and his wife on the
| premises when the murder was committed.
| These we're Bridget Sullivan, domestic,
| and Lizzie Borden, the younger of Mr..
| Bordens two daughters. The first alarm
| was given by Lizzie, who ran out into
| the yard and called for help She was sus-
| pected chiefly because of certain discrepancies
| between her statements to the police to tho
| circums tances under which the bodies were
| found. brother-in-law of Borden named
| Harrington also testified that for ten
| years there had been almost constant
| disputes between the daughters and Mr..
| and Mrs. Borden. They had been
| allowed 500 4 year each. and had been given
| property worth in the aggregate about So, 600
| They were dissatisfied with this, Harring ton
| said, and thought they ought to have more.
| Miss Borden moved in the best society, and
wanted money to "hold her end up" as Har-
| rington expressed 1t.
The theory of the prosecution is that it was
| the purpose Of Lizzie Borden, by killing Borden
| and his wife, to inherit one-haf of the estate.
Bearing on this point information was furnished
the police to the effect that Mr.. Borden
was about to make will The po-
| lice consider the information reliable.
No will has been found since his
death and he is believed to have died ntes
tate. 1t is said that Lizzie Borden knew he
| was about to make will Before the tragedy
| Lizzie Borden lived the humdrum life of O
| small place. She once taught a Sunday school
class and was bright but sedate. She made ar
extended tour of Europe two or three years

TRAGEDY IN ILLINOIS.
A Citizen of Braceville Kills His Wife
and Himself While Insane.

BRAoEvILLE, ILL.,, June 6.-Early on
Sunday evening, in the western part
of Braceville, in a small house, a
sight was discovered which made
the hardest hearted turn away
sick and Mortified. Seraphim De
Medlan, a Belgian and miner,
and his wife We're the subjects. The
wife was lying across the bed
dead with great gaping wound
from shotgun in her right
breast, while a babe, not over 4
months old, was at her breast as
if just taken from crib near by. On
the opposite side of the room lay De
Medlan with his brains blown out by
the same instrument of death, which
was found lying beside him. The first
to come upon this horrible scene was u
boy II years old, son of Mrs. De Medlan,
who had been working in field near
by and came to the house for supper.
He gave the alarm to neighbors, and
soon the house and yard were filed
with incomers. Nothing but circum-
stantial evidence could be obtained, but
everything pointed to the fact that
De Medlan first shot his wife and then,
to escape the punishment of the law,
took his own life.
De Medlan was thought to be partial
ly insane for some time before the
crime, but no violence was made
known to anyone in town until Sunday
night, when the boy stated that some
time ago his stepfather had said that he
would some time shoot his wife and
then kill himself. Coroner Ferguson
was called, but the jury We're unable
to determine anything beyond the mere
fact that both were killed and that the
murderer and suicide was De Medlan.

Hermann Schaffner Co., of Chica go
Forced to Suspend-The Senior Partner
Missing.
CHICAGO, June SHERMAN Schaffner
& Co., the Oldest and largest
private bankers in the west, did
not open their doors in the Title and
Trust building Saturday and the news
that the institution was insolvent was
soon the talk of the town. To add to
-he excitement came the report that
Mr.. Schaffper, one of the best known
men in Chicago and one of the
most popular of the Jewish race,
could not be found, the result of
the report being the rumor that
the banker had become insane over his
troubles or had taken his own life. The
banking firm made an assignment in
the county court at 1910 a. m In the
absence of a statement by the as
signes it is given out, but not
authoritatively, by those concerned
that the liabilities of the concern will
not exceed 100000 and that the assets
more than cover the amount.
Mr.. Schaffner's family have offered
reward of $500 for information as to
the missing mans whereabouts. The
bank had been in business since 1878.
Herman Schaffner and A. G. Becker
composed the firm. The bank trans
acted but little deposit business. Its
specially was the handling of CONNER.
cial paper. In this way the firm is
reported to have handled in the las,
year S5,OOO,OO0 worth of paper. The
assignment was made, it is said, from
the fear that when the fact of Schaff'
ner's disappearance became public there
would be run on the bank.
