HE SHOT LITTLE LIZZIE
And Then Turned the Weapon Upon Hmself A Horrible Story from 0ster-
 vile, Mass.

Hyannis, Mass, June 10-The quiet this morning by the murder of Lizzie Coleman, B years of age, while on her way to school by German laborer, Henry Litker, who afterwards com mitted suicide by shooting himself. Lit ker was a married man with wife and three children in Germany, and had been employed on the farm of MT. g. S. Leon Erd more or less for the last six years.
 He was steady and honest and faith full laborer. For the last six months h. has been infatuated with the Coleman girl, and has spent considerable of his salary upon Miss Coleman. His infatua- ton was not noticed by the family of the girl until recently, when her parents ob jected to his coming to the house. He made the girl various presents at diff ferent times, and also made pr, sent to her mother.
 After his visits were forbidden he wanted the presents returned, which re- quest was refused. This refusal melted him to commit the terrible deed. The girl, with her two brothers, started for school about 830 this morning. Ltker was in the habit of meeting her on the way to school for the purpose of speak ing to her, and often intercepted her on her way home. He immediately fired two shots at one of the boys, missing him. Then he turned to the girl and shot her twice, the first time through the mouth, the second shot taking ef- feet in the back of her head or neck. He next turned the weapon upon himself. the ball passing through his head. Both probably died instantly. Ltker was about 50 years old.

J. B. D0nelson beauti- ful gold cnameled badge as q token of the esteem and affection of the po'ice force of the city.
 Mayor VanTIoose in his charactcris- tie, witty, pointed and pleasant manner called upon Captain Donelson, and much to that gentleman's surprise presented to him the badge.
 Captain Donelson for years has been al the beck and call of law and order, and no criminal was so desperate or crime too deep to appall him or cause him to shrink in the hour of danger Yet when confronted by this uncxp cted token in recognition of his faithful ana heroic service he felt astonished and abashcd and looked the gratitude which his emotions would not permit him to utter. Finally he mastered him self and said
 My Friends: This is such q surprise to me that I hardly know what to say. 1 am, as you all know no speaker, but if were. words could not express my feel ings on this occasion.

Tor Little While Yesterday and May Be
 Again.
 Des Moines, Ia.. June 10.-Judge Spur rier of the district court, in the case of the state vs. Pressman, this morning held that the defendant and his associate saloonkeepers had not established. as re- quired under the recent supreme court decision, the validity of the petition of consent under which saloons are licensed in Des Moines and that the petition was void. In order to avoid injunction pro- ceedings under the old prohibtory law, which is revived by Judge Spurrier's decision, the saloonkeepers closed their places of business as soon as the de- cison was rendered. and Des Moines be- came dry town once more for brief time. Later the saloons began to open, and at l o'clock nearly all had resumed. The proprietors took the position that they had no notice of the action of the district court They cannot remain open long.

MIR, BRYAN AT NEW ORLEANS.

After His Speech He Is 'sAlmost Mobbed by
 the Enthuslastic Crowd.''
 New Orleans, June 10.-The bimetallic convent n assembled al Washington Ar tillery h..il this evening at o'clock. An audience of between 800 and coo assem- bled, a good many ladies being among the number.
 The meeting was called to order by the secretary of state. T. s. Adams, who nominated MT. Ashton Phelps as chair man and Mir. Sydney Garland as secre- tary. MT. Phelps, after few well chosen remarks, appointed a committee on res olutions and introduced Congressman II. D. Money of Mississippi as the first speak CT. Mir. Money is well known as an eX- ceedngly good speaker, but, unfortunate ly. owing to the acoustic qualities of the hall his speech could not be distin- gushed half way from the speakers stand to the outer seats. This was a great disappointment to a great many who desired 10 hear the talented Missis3 spian. MT Moneys speech was on the well known lines in advocacy of the free and unlimited coinage of silver
 Upon the conclusion of his speech Hon. William J. Bryan of Nebraska was in- troduced and the audience was treated to one of the most entertaining speeches heard in New Orleans in long time. MT. Bryan's enunciaton was distinct and his delivery easy and he fairly captured
 
 tion of the bimetallic believers was clear and forcible and he was interrupted by many bursts of applause, the enthusi- asm after some of his happiest hits last ing several minutes. He took the ground that the United States should act inde- pendently upon the question of remone- tizing silver and believed that Europe would soon follow the lead of this coun- try, as it did in 1873, when silver was de- monetiZed by the United States He said that he would rather see this coun- try happy and prosperous with gold at 6 premium than to have it in it's present condition.
 He predicted the republican majority in congress the coming session will be torn asunder by dissensions over the currency question from the first day of meeting to the last day of the session. They will lose the west if they don't admit silver to free coinage, and will lose the east if they do. He admitted the democratic party is badly divided on the question: but said they did most of their sweating last year, and were glad to be over it.
 MT. Bryan is most effective speaker, and the interest was unabated until he closed about II o'clock. A number of delegates were named to the Memphis silver convention, which meets next week, and resolutions were adopted de- claring for the free and unlimited coin age of silver at the ratio of 16 to l.
 The meeting then adjourned.
 Preliminary steps looking to the or ganization of a state bimetallic league will be taken at once. After the ad- journment MT. Bryan was almost mobbed by the crowd of enthusiastic people, and for half an hour he was busy receiving introductions and shaking hands with his admirers. He has made a profound inn pression on the people of New Orleans.

their difference will be carried into the convention. General Weaver and his followers favor the nomination of Fred White, the free silver democrat, prom inently mentioned for the democratic nomination for governor, or similar man, upon a liberal platform, with free silver as the main issue, and with a hope of a combination of all the silver ele- ments in the state upon their platform and candidate. W. H. Robb of Creston and other populist leaders favor mid dle-of-th the-road policy and the reafirma- tion of the Omaha platform, making free silver only an incidental issue.

 Dallas, Tex, June 10.-The mass meet ing called for tonight to protest against the Corbett-Fitzs mnons flght was very tame affair. The tenor of the speeches was to the effect that horde of thieves and absolute characters would be at tracted to the city and that the moral effect of such an exhibition would be vicious on young men and boys. Several of the speakers declared that their boys knew more about Corbett and Fitzsim- mons than about their Sunday school lessons. The other side of the question was ably presented at the meeting. which finally decided by vote of 3S to 36 to oppose the fight.
