Houston Kills His Friend.

BARDsTowN, KY, March 23.-During
last nightat Bloomfield, while delirious,
Joseph Houston shot and killed Allen
Murphy, q business man and friend.
The sick man was suffering from pneu-
monia. Houston made an attempt on
the life OF his wife. Her screams at
tracted the attention of Murphy, who
was the first TO reach HouSton's
home and as he started toward the sick
man, Houston drew revolver and shot
him dead. The combined strength OF
four men was necessary TO overpower
Houston, and after being taken back to
bed the invalid went TO sleep. During
the night Houston's condition became
worse, and the doctors say be will die
as a result of the expenditure OF strength
and exposure. Mrs. Murphy has be-
come a chattering lunatic and at inter-
walls raving maniac, and for her re-
straint constant force has been en-
ployed.

This was shown by his emphatic refusal

action in spite of the fact that an in

ULSTER.

In the discussion Of purely economical
matter as to whether miners should have a
legal working day Of eight hours Mr.. Glad
stone declared against including Durham
and Northumberland in general bill, as
the workmen of these counties are opposed
to a limit. When asked directly on the
point he said he should have no objection
to entertain proposition to give Ulster
local option of the same kind on the ques-
tion of autonomous governmentfor Ireland.
The Government has not sought to mb0dy
this principle in the pending bill, but it has
had it under consideration and is bound 20
consider any such plan when it is fOrmu-
lated. This admission may give new turn
to the discussion of home rule in commit
zee. The principle has been admitted by
the House of Commons, but the details re-
main for adjustment and amendment on
any footing not inconsistent with the prln-
ciple. Local autonomy for Ulster on some
footing agreeable to itself may therefore be
proposed, leaving Munster, Leinster and
Connaught under separate government.
There are, however, practical difficulties in
the way OF this being accepted as an uncou-
tested solution.
Ulster is far from being united in opposi-
tion to the Gladstonian measure as it
SIanuS. leIFIOrlhllY, ABOUT haiI oil ulster
is for home rule; the other half is uniOnist.
But it is mistake to assume that In any
town or district of Ulster, not excepting
Belfast, there is not very large minority
who favor self-admnistration of affairs,
and among these is a considerable sprink-
ling of Protestants. A united Ulster does
not exist save in the Imagination of those
who defy facts The willingness to con-
slider the special claims of Ulster Is a con-
cession which throws the responsibility for
constructive legislation on the opponents of
the Government measure, and il will be in
teresting to see what will come of the
option practi cally. Irish Nationalist have
repeatedly declared against a division of
Ireland. They. hold that the country is
small enough as it is, and that there is room
for the best blood and the finest fiber of
brain in one Parliament at Dublin. They
will still take this view. 1t does not follow
that the Government would accept any pro-
posal drawn up on the subject, but Ulster
has the opportunity to explain what 1t does
want now that the principle OF auton omous
government has been affirmed by Parlia-
ment. Devolution of administration is in
the air about all affairs British.

STATE INVESTMENT COMPANY.
Securities Tumble, but Officers Say
They Can Weather the Gale.

The serious drop in the valuation on
change of the securities of the S ate In
vestment land Insurance Company, which
has been taking place steadily during the
last two days. is spoken of by business men
as indicating that the rumors are true con-
cerning tbs financial unsoundness of the
company. The shares have fallen from $40
to $50, and the officers OF the concern are
besieged daily by anxious policy-hol1ers
Many of the stockholders have become ner-
yous also at the thought that if the COM
pany is forced into insolvency perhaps they
may be held responsible for losses.
The sudden apparent collapse OF the COM
pany has been surprise notwithstanding
the fact that unpleasant Tumt rs have been
nOised about for some time. Ever since IL
has been known that the company has been
writing Eastern business on a commission
basis, a practice that has been abandoned
by nearly all California insurance COM
panieS, il has been viewed with mstrust
President George l.. Brander says that
the company will weather the storm if ii is
allowed 10 go on, but to force 1t into insol-
Yency now would mean tile loss of lots of
premiums that can be collected If the busi-
ness is continued as usual.
His statement is as follows: THE COM
pany In 1891 made mistake in paying out
S36 7l6 in dividends. which il could i'll afford
10 do, and again last year 1t very foolshly
paid dividends of S24.597 out of evidently
an imaginary net surplus
