Italians Commit Horrible
Crime in Minnesota.
EEAD BLOWN OFF.
Shotguns and Winchesters Used
to Do the Murder.

CARLTON, Mimi, March 16-An aw-
full tragedy occurred at McGregor,
about 30 miles west of here, yesterday
morning. family of the name of
Jeanette, consisting of father, mother
and four children, the Oldest IL years
and the youngest a nursing babe, lived
in ca bin and kept a small store. Two
Italians who were clearing up a home
stead near by had trouble with Jean
cite over some saw logs, which result
ed in quarrel. The Italians, Nick
and Angelo Crestello, brothers, re-
turned yesterday morning to renew
the quarrel with Jeanette with Win
chesters and shotguns. Nick Crestello
shot jeanette with the shotgun, tear
ing a gaping wound in his side and
Angelo shot Mrs. Jeanette with the
Winchester, blowing the top of her
head off, killing both instantly. The
children were in bed at the time. The
murderers escaped to the woods. The
cabin presented a sickening sight,
blood and brains being spattered all
owes the walls and floor The children
were shivering with terror.
About noon the murderers came to
McGregor and said they were going to
local officers held them until the ar
rival OF the sheriff, who at once took
them to Aitl1en to the county jail.
The Jeanettes were a much respected
family in the neigh borhood and intense
excitement prevails. The principal
reason for the murderers' return was
that they were afraid of being lynched
by the woodsmen in camps around the
scene Of the murder.
A GRUEsoME FIND.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, March 16.-A
special from Chippewa Falls, Wis,
says: A horrible discovery was made
yesterday by a party of men hunting
in the neighborhood of Ingram. The
dead bodies of Ed Duffey, John Han
son and another man were found
in an old lumber shanty. From
all appearances they had been dead
a number of days, the bodies being
frozen stiff. Dufey and Hanson were
formerly employed as woodsmen, but
quit work to hunt wolves, using poison
to kill them. The supposition is that
in preparing supper they accidentally
got poison mixed with their food.
Their dog was found dead in the same
room.

DOCkERY's PREDICTION.

EZe Believes Third Party VIII Operate as
Hindrance to White Metal.
WASHINGTON, March 16.-Representa-
tive Dockery and wife left for home
last evening. Mr.. Dockery thinks the
tariff question will not be much Of an
issue in Missouri for some time to come,
as there seems to be willingness to
give the new tariff laws fair trial.
The silver party he does not expect to
see gain many recruits in Missouri.
1.-The state is, of course. decidedly
in favor of silver" he said, but
/ think the people of Missouri real
ize that any attempt to organize a
third party in the interest of silver will
operate as a hindrance. There is a
growing sentiment in both the old
parties favora bic to an enlarged use of
silver in our monetary system and
think this will be expressed strongly
in both national platforms next year. "

PURoING INDIAN ROLLS.

Secretary Smith Renders Decision Re-
Earding the Osages.
WASHINGTON, March 16.-Secretary
Hoke Smith has rendered decision in
the matter of application of the Usage
Indians to have their rolls purged of
certain names, principally white men,
claiming to have Indian blood in their
veins, who the Indians say have no
right to any of the money or property
granted to or appropriated for the ben
eft of said Indians by the United
States
Secretary Smith holds that while the
department has right to pass upon
this question of tribal relations, he
will take no action till the charges
against those who are sought to be ex-
PEELED from the tribe are made more
definite. He requires that the Osages
shall give the names of each person
whom it is desired to expel from the
tribe, and the reason in each individ-
ual case for the expulsion, SO that the
matter may be taken up as in a court
of justice and that no injustice may be
done

GMESHAM,S DEMAND.
A Notable Point in the Dispatch to the
Spanish Governments

WASHINGTON, March 16.-The state
department. officials admit the correct
ness of the Madrid cable showing Sec
rotary Gresham had made protest and
demand for disclaimer and an apology
on the Spanish government for the fir
ing upon the Alliance. Tt is too
early yet to expect response from
Mr.. Taylor, but if it does come it is
rather expected il will indicate
desire by the Spanish government
for a proper opportunity to ascertain
the facts before taking action in the
matter. But this, it is said at the de-
partment, will scarcely avail in the
present cause, unless the message con-
veys some assurance on the part of the
Spanish government that it has in
structed its naval commanders to re-
frain from further interference with
vessels flying the American flag.
The notable feature of Secretary
Gresham's dispatch is found in his
statement that when an American YES
sci is on her usual route the fact that
she is inside or outside of the smile
limits does not affect the merits of the
case. From this it is apparent that the
secretary has taken his stand on the
decision Of the Alabama claims COM
mission, which was practically new
dictum in international law, for it had
been the rule previous to that decision
to regard as beyond question the right
of a nation to retain suspicious vessels
passing within the limits of miles
from its coasts over which its marine
jurisdiction extended.
1t will undoubtedly cost Spain a bit
ter effort to accept the force of this
doctrine, for if the right to stop sus-
picious ships in Cuban waters is denied
the task of maintaining an effective
blockade against filibustering expedi-
tions will be extremely difficult, if not
impossible without recourse to formal
acknowledgement of belligerency of
the insurgents. The Spanish govern
ment would be exceedingly loath, as are
nearly all nations in such cases, to
make such an acknowledgment, for not
only would it immensely strengthen
the rebellion morally, but it would re-
suit in comforting upon theAn certain
very important aides in the prosecution
of their warfare. It was for just such
a privilege that Adm. Da Cana strug-
gled so hard in the Brazilian rebellion,
only to meet defeat through the sue
cess of the efforts of the Pexioto gov
erpment in persuading the United
States against afording recognition of
his belligerency.

OBLITERATED ALL.
Three Thousand Pounds of Nj
tro Glycerine Explodes.
Buildings of Hancock Chemical
Works Are Wrecked.
ONLY ONE KILLED.
It Was During Noon Hour SO
Few Were Hurt.

HoUaHToN, Mich, March 16.-About
5000 pounds of nitro-glycerine ex-
ploded at the Hancock chemical works,
near Dollar bay, yesterday. AL the
buildings of the company were
hour, only one man, Dominick Chris
tian, was killed. Several were injured
by flying debris, but not seriously.
The cause of the explosion is a mys-
terry. Christians duty was to attend
the mixing of the acid and glycerine.
He was in the nitro-glycerine vault
when the explosion occurred. Not
even a particle of his remains
could be found. Carl Ulrich,
who was in the mixing house, about 90
feet away, rniraculously escaped by be-
ing wedged between the acid tubs,
which were covered by an iron frame.
In the packing house near by were
large quantities Of dynamite, and in
magazine adjacent was stored IS, 900
pounds of dynamite, but not an ounce
of it exploded, although the buildings
were wrecked. The property loss is
about $1,000. This is the third ex-
plosion at these works with total loss
of ten lives. Windows were broken in
buildings at Lake Linden. g miles
away, and in Calumet, 10 miles to the
north, glassware ratified in the houses,
and the explosion was distinctly heard.
At Houston, miles south, it was
scarcely heard.
THE vANDALIA EXPRESS WRECKED.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, March 16.-Van-
dalia express No. was wrecked 2
miles east of this city at 1880 yester-
day morning. Conductor Rahm had
his arm fractured, and several pas
sengers were badly bruised A head,
end collision with switch engine
caused the accident. Both engines
reared high in the air, and the
derailed cars burned fercely, as
did also a dozen loaded freight
cars standing on the siding. Both
engineers and fremen escaped serious
injury by jumping. The express was
going at 30 miles an hour when the
crash came. Two of the passengers
known to be injured are j. D. Early, of
Terre Haute. and the other an actor of
the True Irish Hearts company, who
refused to give his name. The cars
not damaged were taken around by a
sidetrack and sent on. The loss by fire
was considera BILE, as no water could be
had, though the fire department was
on the scene.
Two Adams express safes were taken
from the wreck yesterday almost at
a white heat The contents, which
are not known outside of New York
and ST. Louis, will probably be as high
as 500, 900. In one safe the heat had
melted the coin inside SO that some of
it escaped. The safes will not be
opened until they reach Washington.

A Continued Quiet Dem and and Small
Volume of Business.
NEW YORK, March 16.-Bradstreet's
says: There are fewer new and favor
able trade features this week than I'M
favorab BILE ones, but in most instances
they outweigh the latter, which point
to continuance of small volume of
business and quiet demand. In addi-
ton to increased competition here
by Australian woods, demand for the
raw staple has fallen off and
word is received that American dress
goods manufacturers are using consid-
cradle Australian mixed with the
American staple. The dry goods trade
continues depressed, production being
in excess of demand, cotton goods be-
ing moved generally only at conces-
sions.
On the other hand prices present the
longest list of increases within week
for many months. Among the prom
inent are the advances in Bessemer pig
iron 10 to Is cents; 8-16 cents on cotton;
wheat, ~ cents; Indian corn, 4 cent;
oats, 4 cent; pork 81 25 per barrel; lard,
80 cents and sugar 1-l6 of a cent.
Higher quotations are also reported
for leather and hides, with demand
stocks of petroleum is made basis for
higher prices for that staple.
The south gains are shown in sales
of leaf tobacco and in demand for naval
stores. Among eastern industries,
makers of shoes report the recent adj
vance fully maintained.
Quotations are unchanged for wool.
tin, iron ore, coke, lumber, coffee and
live cattle, while concessions in prices
are rumored to have been made on coal
contracts aud are apparent for print
cloths, steel billets, copper and eggs.
The export of wheat flour included
as wheat, from both coasts this week,
amount to 1891, 900 bushels, compared
with 1922, 900 bushels last week, B.
25S, 900 bushels in the week a year ago,
and with ISIS, 600 bushels in the week
three years ago.
