day of j. r. Lyon, recently elected justice
of the peace. Yesterday morning the
Times contained an Interview with Chief
of Police Melton and Constable Sellman
in which it was strongly charged that
Justice Lyon had been connected with
Deputy Constable Shoemaker in "knock-
ing down" persons called before his court.
This matter was the talk of the town yes
terday but Lyons friends confidently be-
leved he would be able to show himself
innocent of any irregularity.
This morning he was found in his Office
suffering from a dose of laudanum which
he had purchased at Fiest's drug store
yesterday afternoon, and at 5 o'clock he
died. At first his friends declared that
the scandal had nothing to do with his
suicide, but the following letter, addressed
to his son, shows differently:
GEL Paso, Tex, April 19.-My Dear
Son, Horatio: expect to be in the pres
ence of my God and maker inside of 80
minutes and make this statement: That
7 have not directly or indirectly been con-
nected in any manner with Jim Schoen-
maker in his unlawful acts, so help me
God, as a Royal Arch Mason"
Late today Deputy Constable Schoen-
maker was arrested for malfeasance in
Office.

Consul Johnson at Stuttgart reports to

or silver question has been again made
the subject of active discussion during the

Haidenheim, Ruttgein, and in nearly all
large towns in the kingdom to protest

ministry will, in conjunction with the 9th
er German states, do everything possible
to prevent any action that would shake
the firm foundation of the monetary sys-
TEN, and that no concessions shall be
made that could endanger that system.

RATE MATTERS.
Several Cases That Will Come Before the
Interstate Commerce Commission.

Omaha, April 21.-In the bridge arbi-
trary rate case, to come before the inter-
state commerce commission, the roads
complained of having served notice on
Commissioner UT that they have filed
petition for Intervention. After reviewing
the charges made by the Commercial
club as to discrimination in freight rates
they deny many of the same.
In the case of Texas through rates,
in which Omaha and South Omaha are
particularly interested, they deny that
Omaha and South Omaha are subject to
any unreasonable prejudice or disadvan-
tage, or that any preference is shown to
Fort Madison, Davenport, Peoria, st.
Louis, Kansas City, st. Joseph or other
distributing points.
The rates on live stock, glucose, pack
ing house products, etc.I are touched
upon.
In conclusion, they say there has been
no discrimination against the complain
ant and it has no cause of action on such
alleged facts set up in its complaint
against the defendant and asks that the
case be dismissed with the costs.
The case will be heard on the 18th in
stant in this city Commissioners Yea
mans, Veasy and Morris will try the case.

troubles at Minersville have broken out
again with increased intensity. Thirteen
of the % nOn-union men driven away two

Some non-union miners are now secreted
among the hills and others are in hiding
in West Virginia.

This prohibition, under the law, must

BRUTAL MURDER.
A Woman in New York Horribly Mutt
lated by an Unknown Party.

New York, April 21.-A murder was
brought to light today in Bellevue hospital
which is suggestive in some of its de-
tails of the Whitechapel crimes in Lon
don that made "Jack the Ripper" noto-
1ious. The victim iS Alice Walsh,
woman of the lowest class. An autopsy
was performed upon her body and it was
discovered that certain mutilations had
been made which distinguished the White
chapel murders. Up to a late hour the
murderer had not been arrested. The
only one who is thought to have some
knowledge Of the crime is held on suspi-
cion.
The circumstances are peculiar. About
q o'clock this morning woman was found
in the hallway at IA Thompson street,
half unconscious and bleeding. Near her
feet was a large pool of blood. At the
hospital every effort of the physicians to
stop the flow of blood were unavailing
and the patient died in about four hours.
In the course of the afternoon DIR. Phil
lipson made post mortem examination
and discovered the real cause of death.
He found that the woman was bruised
and black and blue in most every part
of her body; had been brutally mutilated
with a knife and that the wounds had
started the hemorrhage which caused
death. The wounds were for the most
part internal. After much searching
about the neighborhood the police found
that the woman, in company with tall,
broad-shouldered man, who looked like
an Italian, had spent a portion of the
early morning hours in a saloon. The
woman became beastly intoxicated and
she and her companion quarrelled. They
left there, so far as could be learned, at
about 4 o'clock a. m. Whist happened to
her or where she went during the inter-
vening two houRs can not be learned.

Herbert says the other vessels will arrive

the Raleigh have been left at the isthmus
for a time until order is restored in Co
lombia. These movements are regarded
as establishing the fact that our govern
ment does not contemplate any trouble in
Nicaragua, as a result of the British ulti-
matum, that will jeopardize American in

CAUSED SURPRISE.

Washington April 20.-The arrival of

from there of the action of the state de-
partmont in the case of Mr.. ThurstOn,
Saused surprise here, for it is beyond doubt
thar there has been ample time for the
receuti0u at Honolulu of Secretary Ores
hams letter to Minister Willis before the
steamer sailed. The inference in official
circles here is that the Hawaiian gov
ernment is Withholding the publication
of the letter for the present.
At the Hawaiian legation Mr.. Hast
ings the charge d'affaires, said the fore
going dispatch confirmed what the lega-
tion had stated from the first, that it had
no information whatever of the reports
concerning Mr.. Thurston's recall. This
lack of information, he added is the same
today a. it was when the reports first ap-
peared
The difference in the dispatch to Thurs
toms interest in the cable project is the
first time this subject has cropped out. The
minister attended the senate debate on
the cable appropriation, but it has not
heretofore been suggested that there was
any official impropriety In this. Subse-
quently Mr.. Thurston took lively inter
est in the efforts of Admiral Irwin and
American capitalists to organize a private
company to build the cable, the plan being
to interest the governments of Hawaii,
Japan and Russia.
