Mr.. Haas took occasion to assure the
council that there was no necessity
to wait for the ultimate result of the
controversy, that there was nothing
to interfere with the work going for
ward. There was no doubt that
eventually the city would be sus-
tanned. the proceedings in the
county court were now contingent
on the motion of the Directing prop
erty-holders to set aside the recent
jury verdict in favor of the city. If
this motion was overruled the oh
jectors might appeal. if sustained
another trial would be necessary.
The city attorney felt confident the
motion would be overruled.
There was a disposition to order
the contractor to proceed with the
work, but the council finally decided
to await the action OF Judge Adams

Long and Healthy Life.

Mrs. Caroline Gest, mention of
whose demise was chronicled in last
evenings ARGUS, enjoyed the excep-
tional happiness of never experience
ing sickness during the 80 long years
of her career until a short time prior
to her death. Born in Germany, she
emigrated to Rock Island with her
husband and family in 1870, and this
city had since been her home. Like
his venerable wife, Mr.. Gest lived to
ripe old age, dying in 1898 at the
age of Sc years. Until two months
ago Mrs. Gest enjoyed her customary
health. being as active as one of a
much younger age. Then her men,
tai faculties showed signs of derange-
ment and she became helpless. A
week ago dropsy set in and yester-
day it caused her death.

vidual appeared at Susemihl's pawn
shop on Second avenue with a new
pair Of boots which he was anxious
to dispose of, claiming to have dis
covered after purchasing them that
they were not of sufficient dimension
to afford comfort to his feet. The
pawnbroker gave him 80 cents for
them. An hour afterward another
fellow came with pair of boots and
furnished a somewhat different story
Of how he became possessed of the
goods he wanted to dispose of. He
realized so cents from the boots.

AN IRRlDEScENT HUMBUG
What Chauncey Depew Says of Governor
AItgeld
Some Scorching Words Said BY the Famous
After Dinner Speaker About Illinois
Famous Governor

NEW YORK April 9.-Chauncey NJ.
Depew last Light replied to recent in
terview with Governor Altgeld of Illinois.
Said Mr.. Depew: This man Altgeld
is an irridescent human humbug. He
fiutters in the uncertain sunshine of no.
toriety. | did not mention his name in
my speech. [ said that Debs raised a rev.
olution that awed two governors and
which it took the United States troops to
auell. 1t seems that he has found the
shoe fit him and was without any further
urging put it on. He stands convicted
upon his own testimony. He says | pre-
fer to wrap myself in the American flag.
| Judge that he is angry because | do not
wrap myself in the red anarchistic rag
that he has adopted | think | Will stick
to the Stars and Stripes. He eliminates
his remarkable epistle with the assertion
that | don It know anything about rail-
roads. | have been ten times elected
president of the New York Central rail
road by its 49, 600 stockholders, and never
had a vote cast against me. will wager
that he cannot be once elected to his
office after fair hearing.
.''Mr. Altgeld is an odd mixture. He is
worth SO. O00, 900 or $4,000, 0O0-far more
than | am The assertion OF the people
with whom he associates is that no man
accumulates more than 81. 900. 900 in this
world unless he steals it. | don't need to
work out the problem any further. Altgeld
owns the biggest building in Chicago. His
cry is always for a division of property.
He knows very well that the rest of the
people will not allow it, and he gets the
credit of being Il reformer without endan-
gering his fortune. If he would practice
his preaching he would divide his prop
erly first, and then, after setting his eX
ample, call on the rest of the country to
follow his lead. ~

THE VENEZUELAN AFFAIR
Unithe States Thanked for Its Sympathy and
SuDDOrt

WASHINGTON. april 9. = President
Crespo of Venezuela has sent specia
message to the congress of Venezuela con-
cerning the attitude of the United States
OH the British Venezuelan question. I'M
mediately following the receipt of the
presidents message the congress passed
resolutions heartily thanking the United
States for its sympathy and support
Senior Andrade, the Venezuelan min
lister here today received copies of the
message and resolutions. President
Crespo's message says:
The high powers of the United States
have just given, in the pending question
between Venezuela and England, a signal
proof of the extent to which the principle
of human justice prevails among the great
people. The chief magistrate of that pow
erful republic being persuaded OF the
great peril which is involved for Ameri-
can interests through a prolongation of a
conflict of such Il grevous nature, ex-
pressed in his message to congress the
strong wish of inducing Great Britain to
put an end to the dispute by arbitration.
In the house of repr ,sentatives there was
introduced in consequence resolution
which has been inserted in the yellow
book OF venezuela, and in the terms of
which is disclosed the noblest interest
toward seeing the controversy closed in
formally with justice and reason. The
resolution earnestly recommends to the
two contending parties the adoption OF
the course indicated by the message of
the president to the United States in or
der to peacefully settle the dispute
The legislative act referred to was APP
proved by both chambers and President
cleveland affixed the signature and seal
thereto on the 2ls5 of February. Such
tokens of the spirit of justice with which
the transcendental question of the Guinea
boundaries is studied and considered by
the magistrate and legislature of the great
republic of the north requires from Ven
ezuela Il significant act of special graft
tude which only you can sanction so
as to express the wish of the people of
Venezuela. Certain | feel that this idea
will have the most enthusiastic accent
ance in the hearts of our worthy legisla-
tors"
The congress in joint assembly at once
acted upon President Crespo's sugges-
tions and the resolutions express the deep
appreciation of Venezuela for the co-ope-
ration of the United States in the con-
tention.
Word reaches the legation here that Ven
eZnela feels so secure in her rights that
she is pushing forward improvements in
the disputed territory.
This is shown by report from the
commi ssary general stating that he has
furnished church which is to be the
nucleus of a settlement in the Amasure
region. This is sort of Venezuelan out
post. where they are taking stand 10 re-
sist the further encroachments of Great
Britain

THE INSURANCE WAR
Underwriters in San Francisco Give Up At
tempts "a a Compact

u
SAN FRANCISCO, April 9.-The un-
derwriters are now fully convinced that
their compact cannot hold together lon
ger than the 10Th inst. On that day the
Withdrawal notice of the Commercial Un-
ion will expire, and then there will be a
complete suspension of rates, unless it
does not take place in the meanwhile. To-
day many insurance managers warned
their policy holders not to cancel until
after the 20th, which in itself shows how
general the belief insi suspension is
Rolia V. Watt has always been known
as a conservative manager. and as his
two big English companies would not be
materially affected by cut rate war ON
this coast, however severe. he is well
qualified to speak disinterestedly. He
said:
Where local boards cannot be formed
prior TO the 20th instant all rates and all
rules will probubly be abandoned. 1 his
does not imply that policies will be given
away, but wilt doubtless result in q very
considerable reduction on so-called desir-
able risks. Cutting will be slight on
stocks which are especially susceptible to
damage, but on dwellings and on busi-
ness buildings the cuts will range from %
to 80 per cent IN all coast cities and
towns"
'Do you think the disturbance of rates
will last for any considerable timer" was
asked.
II think it altogether probable that the
trouble will last for year or two-possi-
b1y longer

Epidemic of Seif-Destruction Visits the City

Seif-nurder

OMAHA. Neb.. April 9.-Three well
known Omaha men committed suicide
today.
At an early hour this morning Judge
John Sahler blew out his brains at his
residence. He left note attributing his
act to financial troubles. Sahler has been
d banker, lawyer and lobbyist in Ne
braska for quarter Of a century. In the
past ten years he has attended every leg
sature and was the recognized king of a
powerful lobby.
j. ]. Jones, an Omaha lawyer, wrote a
long letter to the press and disappeared
last night. He said he would be dead be-
fore the letter was received. He claimed
he had lost his wife's fortune and could
not face her. His friends think his mind
gave way and that he has suicided.
Mansford C. Bailey. union veteran,
blew out his brains tonight. He attrib-
uted the act to domestic troubles.

in a West Virginia Town
SEVEN PERSONS ARE BURIED
A Number OF Unf0rtunates Taken Out
of the Ruins
rlen Pinned Underneath Huge Iron Girdcrs
A Priest Was Kilied-Work Of
the Rescuers

WHEELING, W. Va, April 8. 9.-Shortly
after 8 O'Clock this morning the five-room
business house of Chapman and Brothers
on Main street. in the wholesale district,
and the adjoining iive-story hardware es.
tablishment of T. T. Hutchinson fell in,
burying seven persons in the ruins.
Dad" Williams, a carpenter, escaped
with serious in juries. 7. 4. Hutchinson,
veteran merchant. and the following
employees of his establishment were en-
tombcd: NJ. J. A. Ford. J. J. Horam,
ers, clerk Western Union messenger boy,
Harris Cowle, was caught in the alley
and buried. Hutchinson was taken out
with two ribs broken and other injuries
and cannot live. At 10 O'Clock another
body was recovered, that OF Ford, whose
injuries are not definitely known. He is
conscious at present, however. The
Hutchinson building was of light con-
structipn and was declared unsafe years
ago.
The fire department did effective work
in keeping down the flames while volun-
teers went to the rescue OF the victims of
the disaster.
At 1925 Michael Ford was taken from
the ruins alive but seriously hurt. He
was pinned beneath iron girders and the
dead body of young Horan lay across
him.
Rev. Father H. +. Parker, vicar-gen-
eral. is under the ruins. He was on his
way to the cathedral from the train when
the walls fell. At IL o'clock Benjamin
Prichard and Buck Harmon, West Nir-
ginia merchant were taken out of the
ruins badly crashed. NJ. J. Ford is badly
hurt, one leg is broken and there are in
ternal injuries. 1t is thought he will re-
cover.
The victims still in the ruins at IL
o'clock are Koran, Wincher and Burch.
The lad Cowle and Rev. FatLer Parker
are believed to be dead. Fire spread to
the oil and turpentine in Chapman Il
Sons building and adjoining property at
II clock is still in danger.
Great indignation is expressed because
at the time the old Melodeon Happ prop
erty was rcmodeled and story added IN
1891 by Mr.. Hutchinson. the walls were
condemned, but he persisted in using
them, and owing to the lack of adequate
laws could not be prevented
