The party was treated to a genuine
surprise by the Rome and Wa'ertown
on the return trip, being taken from
Suspension Bridge to Oswego-a dis
tance of 155 miles-in 1873 minutes,
breaking all records, including the
one just made by the same engine and
crew that took Vanderbilt and Depew
over this road in 1913 minutes. The
superb service, rapid time and first
class condition of the railroads, in
cluded in the Niagara Falls route, via
Central Vermont, make the party
unanimous in recommending this as
the best as well as the pleasantest way
to 60 to the Worlds Fair.

TERRIBLE IOWA TRAGEDY.
A Man Kills Two Women, MutiIates a
Child and is Lynched.

ALBA, Ia, March 23.-William Fra
zier killed his wife and sister-in. law and
cut off the leg of his little baby at Hite-
man yesterday. Frazier was about 45
years old and lived at Carbondale. A
few days ago his wife left him on ac-
count of his drunkenness and abuse,
and taking her baby went to Hite-
man to stay with her sister, Mrs. Harry
Smith. Frazier came to Abba Tuesday
and went on to Hiteman this morning.
Within ten minutes after landing there
the terrible deed was committed.
After finding the residence of Smith
he walked in and plunged knife in
his wlfe's heart, struck his sister-in-law
IN the breast, killing her almost in
stantly, and then proceeded to cut
OFT the leg of his baby. Neigh
bors heard the disturbance and in
stantly gave pursuit to Frazier, who had
made for the woods. After about two
hours exciting chase by nearly all the
citizens of the town he was caught and
turned over to deputy sheriff and
posse, who undertook to bring him to
this place.
Step by step the officers and their
CHASTITY prisoner advanced and Frazier
felt somewhat encouraged, feeling the
Jail might possibly be reached before
the mob could make up its mind what
to do. His feeling of security was of
short duration, however, for soon a
miner stepped up to Deputy Lewis and
said gruffly: ave want this man."
"He is In the hands of the Law, and
you can't have him." responded the
deputy.
No other words were spoken, for the
miners sprang upon the officer, and tore
his prisoner from him. Although the
deputy fought manfully he was like
straws in a whirlwind and absolutely
helpless. Frazier gave vent to de-
spairing shrieks and prayers, inter-
mingled with curses, but they were I'M
needed.
The mob, quiet moment before, was
suddenly transformed into lot of
demons, and in their anger nearly tore
the wretched murderer to pieces. AS
he was dragged along the ground his
executioners kicked and beat him
with every imaginable weapon that
came handy, and when he at last
reached the tree that was to do
duty as his gibbet he was nearly dead.
In an instant rope was tied around the
neck of the wretch and he was swing
ing from limb. AS soon as it was GER
tain he was dead the mob quietly dis
persed, the miners going to work again
as coolly as though nothing had hap
pened.
The corpse presented a CHASTITY APP
pearance, the clothes being almost torn
to shreds, the tongue hanging out, and
the face deep purple. Before he be-
came unconscious Frazier must have
suffered all the agonies of the damned.
for his countenance was distorted and
bore look of the greatest agony. The
inquest will be held to-day.

MRS. DUNHAM'S STORY,
Her Husband Misrepresented His Wealth
Before Marriage.

HeloEe "ATrlAse
CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 27.-Mrs. Eliza
beth Durham has story to tell of her
side of the divorce, the complaint in
which was filed Saturday by r. w. Dun
ham, ex-president of the Chicago Board
of Trade and ex-member of Congress.
It is probable that the story will not be
fully related until it comes out in court,
but in the absence of Mrs. Durham, At
torney Mayer to-day outlined the mat
ter. The divorce suit, according to Mr..
Mayer, seems to be the outgrowth of
disputes over the carrying out of mat
rimonial contract, the end and essence
of which appears to have been dollars
and cents. There is a direct charge
that Congressman Durham obtained
his wife on false pretenses. 1t is repre-
sented that he was worth 81 100000,
and he was not. This is deemed suf-
icient to MAKE any lady of spirit indig-
nant, and Mrs. Durham is admitted
to have spirit to spare. This, however,
is only the basis of the marital trouble,
the cause of the first outbreak. Then
came other troubles and it is asserted
that Mrs. Durham has suffered int nsly.
Mrs. Durham comes from prominent
family in Philadelphia and is we'll off in
her own right. She married after a
years engagement. By an anti-nuptial
agreement Mr.. Dunham agreed after
marriage to convey to her his home
stead and other real estate of the value
of 500. 600

HOME RULE TO BE PUSHED.
Gladstone's Plan for Passing the Iris
Measure.

Gladstone's Plan for Passing the Irish
Measure.
LONDON, March PA Liberal party
meeting was held at the foreign office
to-day under the presidency of
Premier Gladstone, to discuss the
position of business and the course
of the Liberals in Parliament.
1t was proposed by Mr.. Gladstone
that the Irish home rule bill should be
put on a second reading on April 6, and
that the home rule bill should have
precedence of all other business every
day except Wednesdays, and also that
the House should sit in the morning
on Fridays. Mr.. Gladstone expressed
a hope that the party would give the
government all the aid in it's power to
expedite the home rule bill issue and
the parish council bill, and assist the
government in fighting obstruction. HI.
Labouchere, member of Parliament for
Northampton, suggested that the min
listers as we'll as private members should
curtail their speech on the home rule
ouastion
