CARLINvILLE's DARK CRIME.
The Engineers Murdercrs Captured |
and May BE Tramps.


Springfield, ILL.,, May 1.-The st. Louis
and Chicago express on the Chicago and
Alton road was held up by robbers half
a mile north of Carlinville, Macoupin
county last night. Three men boarded the
locomotive and ordered Engineer Frank
Holmes to hold up his hands. lie re-
fused and was shot and instantly killed.
Fireman Frank Tuggle escaped.
The men who did the work We're evi-
IDENTIFY amateurs and went at it in a bung-
ling manner. They were not masked but
one of them had a gunny sack wrapped
about his body. This was the man who
shot the engineer and when the three
men leaped from the engine he was caught
by one of the mail agents and held. Train
men and passengers pursued the other
two men and overlook and brought them
back.
The train then backed down to the de-
pot, ana the fireman sand prisoners were
banded over to the authorities. The body
of Engineer Holmes was taken In charge
by the coroner.
1t is not known whether robbery was
the motive for the crime or not The
belize is current that the engineer was
murdered by revengeful tramps. Yester-
day morning when going south at Car
linville he compelled some vagrants to
leave the train. A few moments later
he discovered some trampS burning cars
on a W and succeeded in driving them
away. He was a resOlute man and de-
spite the threats Of the "hoboes" that
they would get even with him, he dis
perSed them. These facts. cOupled with
that of the murder taking place i'm the
same vicinity, strengthened the theory
that he was murdered by some of the
tramps. 1t may also have been the in
tentiOn of the murderers TO have looted
the train after disposing of the engi-
neer but they were probably too badly
frightened TO attempt anything further.

POWER or THE PAPAcY.
Tho Pope said to Have Issued an Adj
dress to the CnrdInnIs.


London May 2.-The Standard has on
tained some details OF a document whicn
the pope is said to have communicated to
the cardinals and the heads of the orders
This document the Standard is informed,
has the form OF a political testament. 1t
recalls the condition of the papal sec when
Leo XIII. was elected. The apathy OF the
powers showed, Il says. the necessity Of
the papacy's taking a position which would
prevent its absorption by the new order
of things instituted in Rome. Therefore
continuous efforts were made 10 associate
other governments with the papacy In
making such concessions as the times re-
quired If appearances were not always
favorable to this line Of conduct, the doc
ument says, II has been gradually justi-
fed nevertheless by the facts as any other
then would have been subjected to some
power instead of remaining In superior
position.
The document continues, according to
the Standard. substantially as follows
Even If temporal power has not been
attained the papacy has arrived at "a sit
uation enabling ", when the Opportune
moment shall come, to dictate conditions
and the same calm, prudent line OF ae-
tlon will conduce still further TO that end
If followed unaltered.'
The document warmly appeals to the
cardinals. when they gather In any fu-
ture conclave, to keep this ideal and con-
tinue this policy as well to hasten the
election of the next pope without allowing
the time for outside intrigue and the
jealousy OF the powers to influence the
cardinals votes and hamper the choice
Of the chosen one The whole drift OF the
document Is to secure the choice of a
successor who will continue the present
pope's policy

LABOR IN THE SOUTH.
A strong speech by Hon. Carroll u.
wright.

Baltimore. Nd, May 2.-"The South-Its
Labor and Industry" was the subject OF
an address last night by Carroll d.
Wright. United States commissioner OF
labor. The address was delivered before
the southern conference OF the Unitarian
and other Christian churches. which is
holding its tenth annual session in Bal
timore. After comparing the devastation.
uncertainty and bankruptcy in the south
thirty years ago with the splendid devel-
opments realized within the past fifteen
years, Mr.. Wright said: This develop
ment vast in extent. brings the labor of
the best African possible. lie needs to he
taught how to do something IL he can
not be assimilated, the solution is to make
him an Industrious citizen.
Labor in the south Is as yet primitive.
but must within short time compete with
the most skilled labor of other sections.
Then the south will have its struggles be-
tween labor and capital The difficulties
will not be so severe as those in other
parts Of the world as the south will profit
by the experience OF the labor troubles Of
others. The aristocracy Of brains which
has grown up TO replace the aristocracy
Of blood win solve the question when IL
arises as TO the change in the wage sys-
TEN. Where representatives of labor and
capital are ready to unite on the principles
of the golden rule, as has been done in
many cases already, the labor problem
will be more nearly solved. The country
cannot afford 10 let one section lag behind
another The outlook demands that the
south shah push along on the present
lines, absorbing capital from wherever u
comes, push on with new orderOf things
TO make labor richer and give the capital
ist a larger gain.'
The officers of the conference were elect
ed for the ensuing term as follows; Prcsi-

DURANT's DOUBLE CRIME.
Judge ConInn Says it EcIipses Jack
the Ripper's Deeds.

San Francisco, May Judge Conlan
this morning held Theodore Durant to
answer before the superior court without
bail for the murder of Minnie Williams
In holding Durant, Judge Conlan said:
'When this crime-one of the most shock
ing murders ever committed-was brought
to light, a wave of horror swept over the
community and the country. Never be-
fore to the knowledge of this court, has
such a horror been uncovered.
Jack the Rippers' crimes can hardly
be compared with these. His crimes had
for their victims women of bad charac-
ter, and they were committed in a shady
quarter of London. But this crime was
committed right here in a respectable
quarter of the city, in a sacred edifice
and the victim was a good and pure young
creature. 4 complete chain surrounds
Durant; not only that, but, to cap the
whole matter, the personal property of the
dead girl was found in the pocket of the
defendants oVercoat. There is sufficient
evidence to send him to a jury to deter

ENGLAND's BUDGET.
Sir william Harcourt Makes n Most
Satisfactory showing.

Satisfactory showing.
London, May I'm the House OF Come
mons to-day Sir William HarcoGrt, chan-
cellor Of the exchequer. was loudly
cheered as he arose TO announce the bud
get, and the cheering was repeated and
prolonged as he concluded the announces
ment. The revenue for the past year. he
said, was estimated at f94, 900. The
actual revenue had been 900 The
expenditures, which had been estimated
at fgS, $4,000. had been f93. .91s. 900. The sur
plus had been f776000, against an esti-
mated surplus Of f2o1Oo0.
Sir William Harcourt announced that
the estimated expenditures for the cons
ing year would be eos. 1881 900, and the es-
timated revenue f95. 1862. 0O0 The Increase
In the expenditures over last year was due
TO the additions to the navy. The deficit
OF 900, as shown by the budget, must
be met by the imposition of duty upon
spirits or upon beer. The strong objec-
tions raised by the Irish and Scotch man.
ufacturers of spirits led him to propose
the continuation Of the duty Of pence
a barrel upon beer, which would yield a
revenue of 100000 and cover the estima-
ted deficit.
Sir William Harcourt. continuing said
that the imports and exports for the past
year had shown that though low prices
ruled, much benefit had been derived by
the Workingmen. The agricultural dis
tress had been keen and labor troubles nu-
merous, yet the general condition was
better than during the previous year The
most gratifying sign of the prosperity, he
said, was the deposits in savings banks
which in 1890 amounted to a little over
f30000,000 In 1891 they were f3i. 600: in
1892 nearly fS3, ,OO0 COO in 1893 fS5 700, 900 and
in 1894, f45. 10000. (Hear, hear. During
the past decade the total increase in saw
ings had been f66,0OO,O00 and nothing. he
said. better proved the sound financial
condition of the country. (Cheers.)
The Budget passed the first reading with
out division
