wIrE AND cnILD MURDERED.

The Tragedy Occurred Twenty-seven
Years Ago, and the Recent Discovery of
the Bones of the Victims in u Cave Re-
vealed the Crime--The Murderer Under
Arrest.
YREKA, CAL, May S.-This town is
intensely excited over the arrest near
here of George Decker, one of the rich
est and most prominent men of Siskiyou
county, for the murder of his wife and
child 81 years ago. Last week sheep
herder in the hills five miles from this
town found the bones Of woman and a
child in cave. He reported his dis
covery, and investigation showed that
the woman's skull had been cloven and
that the child was nursing babe, as its
iawbones were toothless. Detectives
were put on the case, and they unearthed
chain Of evidence that led to Decker's
arrest.
In 1867 Decker arrived in Yreka
with his wife and two children. Soon
he began to neglect his wife and pay
attention to widow, who had some
property. His conduct excited gossip
and the wife received much sympathy.
She had another child, and when this
baby was six months old she announced
one day that her husband was going to
send her away. Her husband had tried
many devices TO compromise her repu-
tation, without success, as he wanted q
divorce.
The whole family left in wagon,
and u few days later Decker returned
with the two children. He said his
wife had been sent by the stage to
Shasta. Soon after Decker procured a
divorce and married the widow. She
died and Decker, from the property she
left him, became wealthy. His neigh.
bors say he fears solitude, and frequently
cries out in his sleep.
Nothing was ever heard of the first
Mrs. Decker. The skeleton found has
been identified MS that Of the missing
woman, and witnesses have been found
who remember that the little children
on their return with Decker said their
father took their mother and baby away
and then returned without them. The
authorities declare that they have com.
plete circumstantial evidence against
Decker, who has lived all these years in
fancied security. The place where the
skeletons were found was seldom visited
rs 1t IS an almost inaccessible rocky
| height.

COMMERCIAL LOAN AFFAIRS.
There Are Number of Holders of TIL
Commands GerLificntes in NYilfninptnr

There Are Number of Holders of the
Company's Certificates in Wilmington.
A representative of the Commercial Loan
Co. of Philadelphia was found in the local
office OF the company, Equitable Building,
yesterday.
This is the company, it will be remem.
bered, against which temporary injunc-
ton was issued from the court of common
pleas in Philadelphia a few days ago.
The representative. in talking 10 re-
porter of THE GAZETTE, said that
so far as this State is concerned there is
nothing TO hinder the Commercial from
continuing its business here.
He said: I'VE have not accepted here any
bids for loans other than on legal note of
interest.
I'VE have disposed of number of
accumulatiye investment certificates. We
are simply lending money, say on $500
certificates. to be repaid within go months
at a stated legal rate of interest"
As inferred from the agents statements
yesterday the plan of the company
here is simply TO lend the sum of $500 OH
good security. to be repaid in 60 months
A payment of SIS per month is required.
The total payment with fec amounts at
the end of go months to $50.
Under these circumstances the only risk
taken seems to be by the company. The
people of this city who deal with the com
pany are the borrowers. There are about
80 applicants here for the certificates.
Three weeks ago more had been paid out
by the company than had been received.
Several applicants have already obtained
their loan of $500.
1t was stated that the head office, No.
1880 Arch street, will reopen Friday next.
following the answer to the injunction
and action thereon which takes place in
common pleas that day.

DESPERATE ATTACK BY STRIKERS

Miners in the Austrian SiIesia District.

TEorPAU, AUSTRIAN SGLEsfA, May ..
The striking miners to-day made %
desperate attack upon detachment of
gendarmes who were guarding col
liery in Polish Ostrau, with the object
of making raid upon the mines and
buildings, in order to drive away the
men who were at work.
Many thousands OF miners are on
strike in the mining districts in Silesia
and number Of them have openly de-
fed the authorities upon several occa-
sions. The body of miners referred to
marched upon the colliery carrying
weapons of various descriptions, though
heavy sticks predominated.
Upon arriving at the colliery it was
found that the buildings and pit en-
frances were guarded by strong de-
tachment of gendarmes. The rioters
were warned to dispense, but instead of
doing so they began pelting the police
officers with stones, wounding number
of them.
Finally the leaders of the mob became
bolder and persuaded the strikers TO
make rush upon the police, expecting
to drive them by force of numbers from
the positions which they occupied.
The gendarmes, after a last warning,
opened fire upon the rioters, killing
nine of them and wounding 90 The
others then fled in all directions
threatening, however, to return in
larger numbers and a1enge the death Of
their comrades.
The gendarmes are being reinforced
and no further trouble is anticipated al
that particular point.

Resulted Report That next Weeks
Conference VIII I,nd Matters. Whether

FnosTBURa, Mp. MAY S.-t'ontrary to
the expectations Of the most sanguine,
1000 miners. composing four mines, have
suspended wers.
Many secret meetings have been held in
the woods near Frpstngrg during the past
week. The plan of campaign on the part
Of the agitators Is to hold meetings from
day to day until the mines in the region
suspend. They expect 10 yet the miners at
Homecoming to SUSPEND to-day. None of
the Consolidation mines have quit yet. 1t
is Gluimed they will not suspend.
III case the miners ut Homecoming fail to
suspend, the aBitaturs intend to have those
now out march to that place in u body, in
order TO inspire the miners there to quit
work. They claim that by the 18th of
this month the trouble will end in their
favor from scarcity of coal in the market.
There was an encounter between two of
the miners ut the meeting. but it was not
serious. and has become case for the next
term of court.
Miners are to be stationed along the
road from hero to the Elkhart mines, q
distance of a mile and half, and to Hoff-
man mines a distance of two miles, this
morning, to induce them to suspend.

CUMBERLAND. Md. May S.-'rhe news
from the West Virginia and Georges Creek
Valley coal region, as its centres i'll Cum

ing may quiet or some unforeseen event
may stir into troublesome activity. The
news from Elk Garden is that but small
force is working, not sufficient to success
fully run the mines. But both the agita-
tors and the mining companies are hope
ful of the result.
LET ONO MEN FIGHT IT OUT.

MORTGAGE INDEXES COMPLETED

OF New Castle County Covering Period
ofFifty-two Years. What the Legislative
Commission Has Accomplished.
The work of certification of the new
mortgage indexes of New Castle county
for the periods between 1882 and 1884
was completed Monday night last by
the commission appointed by the last
Legislature for that purpose. The COM
mission comprised George T. Brown,
William t. Lyman and Peter L. Cooper,
Jr.
AS stated the undertaking covers q
period of SO years of the mortgage
records of this county. An estimate of
comparison and examination of 10000
New Castle county mortgages. Incl
dental to this work was added also the
examination of all assignments of any
mortgage and all powers of attorney for
satisfaction of them which included
probably 10000 additional documents.
All mortgages that have been satisfied
from 1889 to 1884 have been dropped
so that the present index comprises the
unsatistied mortgages.
The extent and advantage of the
work will he apprehended by everyone
having business in the buying and selling
of property. For instance A has be-
tween the years 1879 and 1880 given
mortgages freely on his property. Iii
making search for property now all
the satisfied mortgages disappear from
the record and the searcher is saved the
work of looking over those of A in
the suggested instance that have been
dropped.
