Dying From Numerous
Wounds.

LOUISVILLE, June 17.-Arthur Gour-
din, shoemaker living at Rowlington,
a suburb Of Peewee Valley, 1S miles
from this city, on the Louisville and
Nashville road, shot and probably
fatally wounded Thomas Murphy and
then stabbed his wife to death. dour-
din suspected Murphy of being init
mate with his wife and had evidently
been waiting for an opportunity to pre-
sent itself so he could get even with
him, This opportunity came when
Murphy was passing by Gourdin's
house ON horseback. Gourdin was site
ting on his porch, and when Murphy
came up he drew a revolver and COM
menced firing, wounding Murphy in
several places and killing his, horse un-
der him. Mrs. Gourdin rushed out of
the house and her husband told her to
go away, but she refused to do so and
he then hit her several times with the
butt Of his revolver, driving her back
into the house, where he seized knife
lying ON q table and stabbed her II
times, killing her instantly. The dead
woman leaves four children ranging
from l year to l3. Courdin was ar
rested and placed in Jail at La Grange.
Murphy's condition is very critical and
he will probably die.

made at st. Paul by Ethelbert Stewart,
special agent of the United States
Labor department, that child labor is
employed in bottling works in this city
and that drunkenness and immortality
exists there, is denounced as false and
malicious by local brewers Gustav
Pabst and Secretary Henning of the
Pabst brewery said that no person
under IA years of age was employed,
and that no drunkenness and inn
morality existed. No children worked
in the bottling department. They
merely pasted labels on bottles. Fore
men and forewomen took especial care
to guard against vulgarity and i'm
morality. The departments referred to
are always open to inspection and
every one here knows the charges of
Stewart to be false.

T., is pursuing duties not strictly in
line with the ambition of a West
Pointer. Last month he issued an or
der dwelling strongly on the impor-
tance OF Indians adopting the civil
marriage rites. Now Captain Wood.
son has his hands full, for the Indians
are coming in from all quarters to be
married by him. They are coming in,
young and old, and the scenes pre-
sented are exceedingly novel. He has
married one couple that had been mar
ried nearly 60 years under the Indian
rites. Some of the Christianized In.
dians are getting remarked according
to the religious rites, and these knot
tying matinees are monopolized by
Paul Goodbear, a full blood Indian
Presbyterian preacher. There are about
500 couples to be married in this way.

MADISON, Wis, June II. State
Treasurer Peterson is on the trail of a

doing business in Wisconsin. He says
that when the annual examination of
their bonds, now filed with the state
treasurer, takes place nearly all the as
sociations will be compelled to put up
better security or quit doing business
in the state. Under the present law
every foreign building and loan asso-
citation doing business in Wisconsin is
compelled to deposit with the state
treasurer 800, 900 in first mortgages on
real estate to secure Wisconsin mem
bers of the association. These mort
cages are fled, but there are no alb
stracts of official appraisements of the
lands to assure the treasurer that the
mortgages have any value.

A BAD WRECK.
Two Passenger Trains Collide With Fatal
Results.

CHARLESTON, S. c., June IL A
head end collision occurred at 1:O5 a.
m. between two passenger trains on
the Charleston and Savannah railroad
at Yemasse. The engines were tele-
scoped and were completely wrecked,
Engineer William Black breaking his
leg. -Four unknown colored tramps
who were stealing a ride on the front
trucks were ground and cut to pieces.
The mail car of one train was torn to
shreds, but the mail clerks, G. P.
Crowft and j. P. Beard, escaped in
jury. The passengers were terribly
shaken up and thrown about, but es-
capped serious harm. A relief train
sent from Savannah, accompanied by
Drs. Charlton and Duncan, ministered
to the injured. The wreck occurred
through the negligence of an operator
in giving orders.

NO IMPROVEMENT
Treasury Receipts for July, So
Far. Are No Better Than
for May.
NO NEED FOR EXTRA SESSION
Bond Syndicate Will Protect
the Gold Reserve From
Withdrawals.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE treasury
receipts from customs and internal
revenue so far during the month of
June show no improvement over last
month, while the disbursements re-
main practically the same. The re-
ceipts from sugar importations are sur
prisingly low and the expected large
increase from whisky Withdrawals has
not materialized. For the first half of
the present month the receipts from
customs amount to 81, 224, 725 and from
internal revenue So, 1877, ,0S5, making
the total receipts from customs for the
eleven and hall months Of the fiscal
year $146, 843,687 and from internal
revenue sources $136, ,954, 1863 The pres
ent deficit of $4S, 400, $50, however, is
likely to be reduced by cutting of ex-
penditures to about $45, 900, 900 for the
full fiscal year. Notwithstanding this
showing for the years operations there
is no expectation from any source of an
extra session of congress, or of another
bond issue before the regular meeting
in December. The gold reserve
amounts to about 800, 800, 900, with an
available cash balance of nearly $l84,-
600, 900, which
Is Regarded as Ample
to meet all ordinary demands. The
spirit of confidence and security which
pervades the treasury department. at
this time is largely due to the provis-
ion in the last bond contract, obligat-
ing the syndicate to protect the gold
in the treasury from Withdrawals for
export. The ability of the syndicate
tc carry out this provision has been
amply demonstrated during the last
several months, when the rate of ster-
ling exchange has ruled at times far
above the export point. This obliga-
tion cannot be discharged until Oct.
next. At the present time the syndi-
cate owes the government about $7,-
100000 ON it's contract, and, while the
entire issue of bonds has been taken to
London, deliveries will be made only
as fast as gold is deposited.
