inmate of an AlmshOuSe Guilty OF
Horrible Murder.
FINDLAY, Ohio, May IA horrible
murder occurred last night at the
county infirnary in this city-Abe
Wise, semi-paralyzed inmate, aged
forty years, being the victim, and
John G. Karg, another inmate, aged
seventy-six years, being the murderer.
The two men quarreled over a trivial
matter and Wise threatened to kill
Karg, striking him over the head with
a cane. Karg went to his room and
procured a butcher knife. Returning
he secured Wise's cane and then made
rush at him with the knife. Wise
was almost helpless, being paralyZed
in one side, and was therefore at
Karg's mercy. The knife was as sharp
as a razor, and with it Kark slashed
Wise across the neck and head Wise
attempted to get down stairs, and as
he was cropping along the hallway in
the dark, Karg made another dash at
him. Drawing the knife across the
back of his neck, he nearly severed
the head from the body. With the
blood streaming from his wounds,
Wise managed to get down stairs, but
he died soon afterward. After the
murder Karg washed himself, went to
his room, and pretended to be asleep
when the superintendent knocked at
his door. He was placed under arrest.
His clothing was found saturated with
the blood of his victim. In Karg
room were found two other knives be-
sides the one with which ne killed

Of the Crespo administration on all
questions of public policy. The Vene-
zuelan papers are printing with
much favorable comment the recent
expressions of the American press on
the British-Venezuelan question. The
government is disposed, however, not
to keep up ferment on the matter.
The Venezuelan congress, now in
session, is giving it's main attention
to perfecting the law code, patterned
after the Napoleonic code, which pre-
walls throughout all the states of
Venezuela No tariff or financial bills
have been introduced, as Venezuela's
condition on both these questions is
said to be very satisfactory. She has
the gold standard, with the Bolivar,
named after the liberator, as her
standard coin. 1t is made of both gold
and silver, but the former dominates
and makes the standard for both
coins. There is also satisfactory
paper currency, guaranteed by the
banks, something like the proposed
state bank currency in the United
States, but not redeemed or guaran-
teed by the Venezuelan government.
1t has proved safe, however, and it
has not been the cause of panics or
depreSSionS.
