Congressman and State Officers to be
Vo!".l For
Providence, Z. l., April 3. = Next
Wednesday is election day in Rhode Isl
and. There are two congressman to
elect as well as a full state ticket. In
the regular congressional election last
November, the republican candidates,
Lieut.. Gov. Bull and Speaker Capron,
received more votes than their oppo-
nents, Congressman Lapham and Con
gresham Page, but in this state it re-
quires d majority to elect, and Bull lack
ed 246 and Capron $50 votes Of an cleo
ton.
The battle is now being fought again
with the same contestants. The re-
publicans are confident of their ability
to reflect Gov. Brown, despite the
popularity of the democratic nominee,
David S. Baker, Jr., and the business
qualities of Henry 3. Metcalf, the
Standard-bearer of the prohibitionists.
Senators Aldrich and Dixon have come
home to make a few speeches, and the
government employees from Rhode Isl
vote. The story is being circulated
that the election of David S. Baker, Jr.,
for governor means that eX-Mayor
Samuel r. Honey, of Newport, will be
the next democratic candidate for Unit
ell States senator.
The republicans are making an effort
to get the foreign vote. The Swedes
arc inclined to vote with the republican
party and 50 are French Canadians
Henry C. Salandli, the leader of the
Italians, is at work getting the Italian
residents of the third and ninth wards
of Providence into line, and he expects
to poll a heavy vote for the republican

Price of the White Metal Moves Up a
Notch-Eoreign Exchanges.
LONDON. April 3.-Discount rates
were easy during last week at l = for
three months and ~ for short. re-
newal of the usual demands at quarter
day, stock-exchange payments and
holiday requirements brought about a
brisk demand for money, borrowers
having obtained assistance from the
Bank of England to the extent of 3d.
100000. All foreign gold demands are
still met by arrivals in the open mar
het, while a fair amount continues to
flow into the Bank of England. The
silver market advanced throughout the
week, the improvement being chiefly
due to steady demand for India. The
heavy curtailment in remittanceS east
ward in the last few weeks has
strengthened exchange.
On the stock exchange during the
week a remarka bly, firm tone prevailed
in every department and prices gener-
ally We're better. There is very
hopeful feeling that business will
materially improve after Easter.

KILLED HIS COUSIN.
Carl Rock, of San Francisco, Commits
Murder and Suicides.

Oakland, Cal, April 3.-Carl Rock, of
San Francisco, this morning fatally
shot Mrs. Amelia Rock, his eX-mistress,
and then killed himself. The woman
was Rocks cousin.
They eloped from Germany together
seven years ago and went to Arizona,
finally drifting to San Francisco. They
had two children.
A short time ago Mrs. Rock left the
murderer and came to Oakland. She
was making preparation to so back to
Germany and refused to take Rock
with her. This morning he came over
from San Francisco to the house where
the woman was stopping and shot her.
He then shot himself through the head,
dying instantly.

out this determination. He walked
lightly up to the door, and before lock-
ing it peered in to see if his daughter
WAS asleep. He was doomed to bitter
disappointment. All his well laid plans
had come to naught, for while he was
vainly counting Morpheus, his fond
daughter had made good her escape.
He made a few lightning calculations
and discovered that she must yet be in
the city for no train had left since he
babe her good night. He made light
ming change of costume and with great
rapidity he ran to the police station and
told Capt ShOenig that his assistance
was needed. Together in a hack they
went to the reidence of Chief of Police
Eastley and Sheriff Gray and awoke
these gentlemen. There are two trains
leaving the city almost at the same
time. It is most likely that Miss Ella
has left on the Milwaukee road. They
arrive there few minutes before the
train pulls out, but fail to find the OBJ
ject of their search, and for good rea-
son, for she who was Ella Tucker, but
now Mrs. 4. X. Tarbell, in company
with her lawful husband to whom she
was married at 10 O'Clock in the even
Jig at the Episcopal church by that pol
iShed gentleman and scholar. the Rev.
r. 2. Chittenden, have gone, not over
the Milwaukee road, but over the river
and takn the Burlington, and are speed
ing merrily away on their wedding
journey.
The report of the detective to Mr..
Tucker Is said TO be very racy, and a
''''-,~ Of WinOna's young society men
are said to figure in the narrative This
is simply a rumor Tucker says, how
ever, that he was justified in believing
the rumors that he had heard previous
ly concerning TarbeH.
Mr.. Tucker was seen last evening by
a newspaper reporter and spoke sub
stantially as follows: My daughter was
married Tuesday evening to this man
Tarbel without the knowledge or CON
sent of myself or my wife. She was at
home between IL and II o'clock Tues
day evening. At about II o'clock she
retired to her room. My wife and [
went to bed about II o'clock but could
not sleep. I went to Elias room about
) O'Clock in the morning but did not
find her there. / then went down town,
where [ learned that my daughter and
Tarbell had taken the Burlington train
north. This is all [ know about her
flight with this miserable man, who, by
this act has blighted what remains of
life to me and my wife. You may
think we are unduly alarmed, but our
affections for our daughter were strong.

would involve the exposure of a num-
Der Of persons, residents of Winona,
which would hurt in certain circles Of

SUBSTITUTE FOR GUNPOWDER
German Army Officers Making Salts
factory Tests.

Berlin, April "a commission Of ar
tillery experts have been testing for seY-
eral days at the Jetterburg, a new ex-
plosive which is intended to replae.
ultimately, gunpOwder in the German
army. The explosive is a brown. fatty
oil when exposed in ordinary temper
allure. 1t retains the conSiS tency up to
H. degrees Fahrenheit. A shock or
Il spark does not set it off. When used
in guns the explosion Is obtained
through contact with another chemical
compound. The explosion is almost I'M
accompanied by smoke, and the de-
tonation is inconsiderable. The recoil
is slight even when the heaviest
charges have been used. The explo-
sive does not heat the weapon sufficient
ly to cause difficulties in the way of
rapid firing and cartridges once used
are easily refilled. For the present ri
f1e, model of 1888, the new compound
is not available but if future tests be
as satisfactory as the recent ones it
will be introduced generally in the ar
tillery branch of the Service Four
models of the new army rifles, having
many advantages over the rife now in
use, have passed successfully the trials
of the small arms inspectors. The in
ventOr Of all four is DR.. Weiss of the
Gera dynamite factory.

upon much disaffection in the demo-
ratio party
The prohibidonists have gone into new
fields this year and have held meetings
where their political doctrines have
never before been preached, except
rom the pulpit. The present prospect
is that the election will be thrown
into the legislature where the republi-
cans are likely to have majority.
That means Gov. Browns reelection.

Necedah, Wis, April 3.-The filing of
SANDER suit in Chicago against Con
gresham Babcock and Mr.. Loomis, OF

Immediate friends and relatives pro
fess complete ignorance Of any relations
of Mr.. Babcock with the parties named

case of blacknail and that Mr.. Bah
cock will fight it to the bitter end.
Mr.. BGDcock has been in Washing

claim that Mr.. Babcock will vindicate
