KILLED BY BURGLARS.

A Prominent Citizen OF Cleveland
Murdered.
CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 12.-William II.
Price, the we'll known member OF the
firm Of printing press manufacturers,
Chandler & Price, was almost instantly
killed by burglar at his home, 1874
Hawthorn avenue, at $50 o'clock this
morning.
Just what occurred between the bur-
glar and Price will probably never lie
known. Shots were heard, and minute
later Price was found by his sou lying
face downward on the floor. rapidly
expiring. The son, II years old. hur-
riedly put on some clothing, and ran to
the home Of DR.. Jewett, on Cedar avenue,
who responded to his call. Before he
arrived, however, Price was dead. He
had been shot through the body three
times.
When Price was first awakeped by the
burglar, 1t seems he got up without
disturbing any other member Of the
family, and. going down stairs, found
the rear kitchen window open. No bur.
glars were to he seen. and he returned to
bis room, probably thinking the burglars
had been frightened away. Getting back
into bed, he found bis wife awake, and
the two talked the matter over.
After while all was quiet again. and
then Price and his wife saw two men
standing near dressing case in their
bed room. The men were of medium
height and wore white handkerchiefs
over their faces. They had on dark
clothes and wore black hats. Price
sprang from his bed, and, as he did so,
one Of the burglars shot at him three
times. all Of the bullets taking effect, one
In the right Lex near the knee, one In the
stomach, and the third in the region OF
the heart. Price fell. and as he did so
the two burglars ran out Of the room.
Mrs. Price was 50 frightened at the
appearance Of the burglars that she was
unable to remember whether any words
we're exchanged between the husband
and murderers or not.
The neighborhood was aroused by the
shots, and the police notified, but up to
10 O'Clock no clue had been disco yered.
From pocket book on the dining foon,
table $S5 was taken bv the burglars.
No other property was missing from the
residence.

TURNED YHE SUGAR BILL down
THE SENATE WOULD NOT con-
SIDER THE HOUSE MEASURES.

Gray of Delaware Undertook to Have
the Nicaragua Canal Bill Set Aside
For the Pop-Gun Bills, But Morgan
of Alabama Objected In Time.
WASHINGTON, DC. 12.-At 2 p. IN. the
Senate took up the Nicaragua canal bill.
Gray Dem. Dell took the floor, but he
expressed preference for taking up and
acting Immediately upon the bill for free
coal, free iron ore, and for imposing a
fiat duty of 40 per cent. on all sugars,
doing away with differentials of is and
Ito ccnts. He said he believed it to be
the duty Of the Senate, as matter of
common justice and common regard
for the interests of the country, to vote
upon those bills at once. He therefore
moved to proceed to consideration Of the
House bills to exempt sugars, molasses,
ETC., from duty, the amendment reported
from the finance committee being to i'm
pose a fiat duty Of 40 per cent. on all
sugars.
Morgan dem. Ala made slight pro-
test against the displacement of the Mic
aragua bill. The Senate refused to take
up the sugar bill by vote Of 23 to 27.

RUINED A 500. 900 CARGO.

Salt Water shipped In Rough Wealth
cr Made Beet Sugar Like Molasses.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. o. Shipping of
heavy seas by the German steamer Re-
mus during her recent passage from
Hamburg to this port, where she ar
rived on Friday, practically ruined htr
entire cargo, valued at 100000, and
the consignces have refused to accept the
consignments. The damage done dur
ing a stormy passage, consuming 20
days, was further augmented by the &C.
tion of the salt water upon the large
quantity OF beef sugar which composed
part OF the cargo.
The salt water, which attained a
depth Of five feet in the hold, came In
contact with the sugar and transformed
it into practically valucless black mo-
lasscs syrup. This liquid syrup was In
turn mixed up with the remainder Of the
cargo, composed Of saurekraut, raGs,
clay, zinc dust, beans, muriate of potash
and arsenic. 1t ruined everything that
was not enclosed in tight cases.-N. Y.

and fired at the door, holding the weapon
at such an angle that when she fired it
the bullet went through the door foot

But for the fact that Logan was stand

The Ordinance Regarding Meat selling
outside the Limits.
Violation of the rules concerning the
sale Of fresh meats was the charge
against J. ". Melton, a butcher doing
business near Isracl's store on South
Main, outside the three. quarters limit,
who was before Mayor Patton this
morning and fined $40, as provided by
the ordinance.
According to the ordinance passed by
the Aldermen, intended to protect the
dealers in Central market and at the
same time give convenience to those
residents who live some distance from
the market, the butchers outside the
limit have no right to sell within the
prescribed line, nor to deliver meats in
side the line and collect the money. They
are permitted, however, to deliver to
persons who live inside the limit but buy
outside and pay for the purchase at the
place where the meat is bought. Chief
Of Police Harkins says this law is going

\ GERMAN TRIUMPH.

1t Is Apparently Done ut tho Expense
Of the Home People.
WASHINGTON, Dec. IA more anom-
alous event than the traditional send
ing Goals to Newcastle is the exporta-
ton of iron aud steel products from
Germany to Great Britain, and yet this
is just what is going on. according to a
report to the state department from
United States Consul Mason at Frank
fort, Germany. And the German trade
with Great Britain isincreasing steadily.
The explanation is found in the supe-
rior technical skill of the Germans. who
overcome British cheap coal by utilizing
scientifically every bv-product in coke
making, sucl, as tar, gas, ammonia
and benzale-instead of wasting all of
these. as is done in the crude English
and American "bee hive oven" process.
Then wages in Germany are lower,
treights are cheaper on the government
railroads, royalties are lower, the work
men are more submissive and not sub
ject to .strik.s. and the government ia
vors export trade by permitting higher
prices for home consumption.

announced that he would go down and

AN ABSENTMINDED MAN.

The Rev. George Harvest. minister Of
Thames Ditton, q great scholar and
skillful fisherman, was one of the most
absentminded men Of his time. He was
engaged to a daughter Of the bishop Of
London, but on the day Of his wedding.
being gudgeon fishing, he overstaid the
appointed hour, and the lady, justly Of
Tended at his neglect, broke off the
match. With Arthur Onslow, the
speaker of the house Of commons, Mr..
Harvest was on terms Of great intimacy.
Being one day in punt together ON the
Thames, he began to read beautiful
dassage from some Greek author, and
throwing himself backward in an ecstasy
fell into the river, whence he was with
difficulty fished out
When Lord Sandwich was canvassing
for tho vice chancellorshipo of Cambridge,
Harvest, who had been his schoolfellow
at Eton, went down to give him his
vote. In large company the two were
joking together ON their schoolboy tricks.
The parson suddenly exclaimed,
"Whence do you derive your nickname
of Jimmie Twitcher?" why" an
swered his lordship, from some foolish
fellow" "No, no." interrupted Har-
vest, "it isn't some but every body that
calls you so.
When this gentleman mind was not
absent. it was, however, very useful to.
him. Having lost himself at Calais, and
not being able to speak a word Of
