afternoon. In Morgan county, just over
the line from Newton, lives the family
Of the rich and well-known planter,
j. I. Estes, whose daughter had a
lover named VIII Green. The family
of the young lady objected to the mar
riage of the young people and they de-
termined to take matters in their own
hands.
Yesterday Green met Miss Estes by
appointment and the two proceeded in
a buggy to the residence of Rev. Mr..
Harwell, who was to perform the cere-
mony. Just as the couple were alight-
ing from the buggy they saw Mr.. Estes
and his son coming rapidly toward
them. Green quickly pulled a revolver
and fired at Mr.. Estes. the ball enter
ing near the heart, killing the farmer
instantly. Green then fired two shots
at young Estes without effect.
Leaving her father dead in the road
and shot to death by her lover, and her
brother bending over the inanimate
form, Miss Estes went on with her
lover to Broughtonville, where they
married.
The sheriff of Newton county has re-
ceived a telegram stating that a re-
ward Of $3.50 has been offered for the
capture of Green.

JUDGE ACHESON SUSTAINED.
Ills Decision in tho Truman Case Ap.
p-Oycd by n Higher COurt

p'Ovcd by Higher Court.
Philadelphia, May 4.-Judge Dallas
filed an opinion in the United States cir
cult court of appeals today sustaining
a decision of Judge Acheson in the cir
cult court at Pittsburg. In November
last a jury in Pittsburg under the di-
rectiOn of the court, rendered verdict
ia favor of the estate of Lyman Tru-
man, deceased, for $50 900. so against the
insolvent estate of Frederick r. Weed,
on a mortgage. The verdict was sub
ject to points of law reserved, which
Judge Acheson afterward decided in
favor of the Weed estate and the ver-
dict set aside.
Frederick r. Weed, prominent citi-
zen of Williamsport Pa, died in April.
1892 He bequeathed his entire estate
to his brother, Mills b. Weed, in trust,
after carrying on the business until
four. years after the Weed estate be-
came insolvent with liabilities of about
s25O0OO, and in April, 1893, Mills B.
Weed was removed as trustee and J. c.
Hill was appointed to succeed him.
The mortgage in the suit was executed
In October, 1873, by Frederick Il. Weed
and his wife, Lucy II. Weed, TO Lyman
Truman, who then resided at Oswego,
N. Y, but It was not recorded in Ly-
coming county until August, 1893. The
questions Of law which were reserved
when the verdict was rendered were
whether the mortgage was valid
against ]. C. Hill. trustee, and the trust
creditors. and whether upon the ad-
mitted facts, Trustee Hill or the trust
creditors had shown a defense to the
mortgage. The appeal was taken for
the Truman estate by the surviving
executrix. Emily M. Truman.

Doorstep.
Portland. Ne, May 14.-This city is
excited today over the discovery of evil
dence which leads the police and many
citizens to believe that some crank
planned to blow up the residences of
Honorable Thomas B. Reed and Mayor
Henry Baxter. While patroling Deer
ing street last night. near the Reed and
Baxter houses, Policeman Mccormick
found at the doorstep an envelope con-
tanning three vials filled with a dark
yellow fluid. and wrapped in cotton
batten. Pinned inside the envelope was
slip of paper upon which was some
writing in an unknown tongue, resem-
bling a combination Of Greek and Ar
menian. There was nothing in English
except: IN. Baxter. Fev. l2S. A. O. L,
l, %, 25. NJ. Reed. Morrise L. Mors-
row."
1t was first thought that the mys-
terious package had been placed on the
walk by some Joker, but when a drug
Sist pronounced the fluid in the vials
to be nitro-glycerine, the police began
to look at the matter seriously When
the discovery was reported to Mayor
Baxter. he failed to see the joke, and at
his request the entire police force began
an investigation, which as yet has de-
veloped nothing.
Greek and Armenian residents of this
city cannot fathom the peculiar Ian
guage written on the paper found with
the package, and there is no clue to in
dicate where it came from.

Asbury Park, n. j., May 14.-Rev. J.
P. Dawson, pastor of the Westminster
Presbyterian church, is in receipt of a
communication from Monsignor Satolli
acknowledging the petition sent him
by the Christian Endeavor societies of
Asbury Park and Ocean Grove, asking
for the removal of Rev. Father Phelan,
of st Louis, for his recent utterances
against the society.
Mr. Dawson showed the United Press
correspondent copy of the letter,
which is as follows:
Apostolic Delegation, L. S. A.,
Washington, u. c., May l3. 1895.
Rev J. T. Dawson.
Dear sir-I received some days ago your
letter with which you sent me the protest
of the Christian Endeavorers against the
attack made by the Rev. Father Phelan
in his paper on the practices of that asso-
citation. l regret exceedingly that a ques-
tion of this kind should have arisen, but
after n long and careful consideration Of
the whole matter feel that II is one which
belongs to the most Rev. Archbishop Of
st. Louis, rather than to me. With my
sentiments of sincere esteem, / remain
most faithfully yours in Christ, Satolli.
Mr.. Dawson says he will obtain
another copy of the petition and for
ward 1t to the archbishop of st. Louis,
together with a copy of Mgr. Satollrs
letter.
In case the archbishop pays no at
tention to the petition, Mr.. Dawson
says he will go up still higher.

SIGNATURE BRINGS BRIDE.
Singular Result OF an Autograph Thrown

Anderson. Ind, May A.-While on
the Knights of Pythias trip to Wash
ington encampment last year, Thomas
Mccullough, deputy postmaster, re-
fused cigar, and the box which was
afterward emptied, was thrown TO him,
and carelessly he wrote on the lid with
his pencil. 1t seems that he wrote his
name and address, and at last threw
the box out of the window.
He got letter two weeks after he
returned home, in which the writer a
young lady, stated that she found the
box, saw his name on 1t, and thinking
it a good chance to have some fun,
wrote to him. The correspondence has
been going on ever since, and the re-
suit is that he went to Mount Union,
Pa. announcing that he would return
with a bride. The romance has at
tracted a great deal of attention.
