MURDER AND SUICIDE.-The epidem-
ic OF horrors seems to grow in inten'
sity. Besides the suicide of Abe
Gross and Paul Schultz, at Tacoma
within the past fortnight, We have to
report the self-destruction of one
humber in life in the same city, Sun
day morning, who adds to his terrible
crime that OF murder of girl with
whom he had become enamored, who
was a servant in the family OF Albert
Weinberg. Mike Pfeifle is the name
of the last victim of dementia, and
Maggie Kornder is that of the young
lady who was. stricken down by his
hand. The shooting occurred in a
woodshed attached to the Weinberg
residence, about 8 o'clock in the morn
ing, the murderer doubtless having
followed the girl into the clubhouse
while engaged in her duties as do
mestic. Pfeifie was found dead i'm
mediately after the shooting, and
Miss X. was still alive when taken to
the hospital, but she soon died. 1t
seems that Pfeifle had been pursuing
his victim with his attentions for
several weeks past, and that he had at
times threatened her life shonld she
persist in her determination not to
marry him.

Charles De Young to death, and was
given a sensational trial, which re-
suited in his acquital.
The most sensational testimony
given before the Coroner's Jury was
that of Clark H. Morgan, at whose
house in Alameda Miss Williams re-
sided. He stated that Durrant had
called at his house and endeavored to
persuade Marian to accompany him to
the city, as he had something inn
portant to talk about. She declined
to go, however, remarking that he
could see her at the church reception
on Friday night. Morgan then re-
lated how Durrant had called to see
Marian last summer and induced her
to go with him. He took her to Sc
cluded spot in Fruitvale and there
made base proposal to her, justify
ing 1t by specious arguments based on
his alleged love for her and promising
that by means of his medical knowl-
edge he would be able to save her
from any unpleasant consequences.
The girl indignantly repulsed him,
and afterward narrated the circum-
stances to Mrs. Morgan.
Police Detective Anthony has
identified Durrant as the man who
eighteen months ago took the daugh-
ter of an ex-policeman to San Jose and
there betrayed her After returning
here Anthony says Durrant forced the
girl to become an inmate of disre-
putable house. The police now be-
lieve Durrant intended to burn the
church and so destroy the evidences
OF his crimes.
The police have learned of further
information connecting Durrant with
the murder of Miss Williams. Last
Friday evening Mrs. Mackay, u wash
erwoman, was passing Emmanuel
church with bundle of clothes at the
time when Durrant and his suspected
victim were described by another wit
ness as being in front of the side gate
OF the church. When Mrs. Mackay
passed, she says. man was urging
something, the girl shaking her head
dIsapprovingly. She thought it was a
lovers quarrel, and passed on, think
ing no more of the incident until an
account of the murder was published.
Her description of the couple TALES
exactly with that of Durrant and
Marian Williams.

"NELLY BLY," elizabeth Cochran)
one of the best known newspaper wo-

Seaman, q multimillionaire banker OF

paper work when only Is years of age,
on the Pittsburgh Dispatch, and for
the past eight years has been engaged
on the stats of some of the leading
New York journals. She it was who
a few years ago feigned insanity to OBJ
tain admission at the Blackwell Island
Insane Asylum, and write up the
atrocities which were reported to have
an existence in that institution. The
results justified her self-sacrifice and
led to radical reform. Her trip around
the world in y days, in 1890, likewise
gave her considerable well-earned no.
toriety.

out do not know. When returned
| brought him bottle Of bromo-selt-
ger. He drank a dose OF il and it
seemed to nauseate him. He then
went into the other room and asked
me how he looked. / told him he was
somewhat pale, and that his eyes were
a little congested. So he went into
the ladies parlor, where there is a
mirror, to look at his face. ! after
wards found, on little shelf under
meath the mirror, a little clot of blood,
as though he had wiped his finger on
the shelf. l spoke OF the gas, and he
said he hoped it would not be noticed
at night at the prayer meeting. We
then carried q little organ from up
stairs down into the lecture-rOom, and
he appeared quite weak. He had to
stop and rest several times, making
the remark that he was overcome with
gas. About o'clock we left the place
and he walked little way down Capp
street with me. / do not remember
whether he went back to the church
or not when he left me-"
This is direct evidence of a most
startling nature. Miss Lamont, it
will be remembered, left the high
school school about ) p. NJ. the day
she was last seen, April g. She was
seen with Durrant. The theory now
is that Durrant had just completed his
tiendish task when seen by Organist
King.
Slowly but but surely the evidence
points towards Durrant as the fiendish
assassin. Three young ladies in the
normal school have identified Durrant
as companion of Miss Lamont on the
Sd inst. A conductor on one of the
street cars likewise identified him as
having been ON his car in company
with that young lady on that date.
This is all in conflict with Durrants
statement of the last time he had
seen Miss Lamont previous to her
death. Then Durrant's handwriting
as it appears on the catalogue of the
Sunday school library is identical with
that of a note accompanying the MUIR
dered girls rings. which had been re-
turned to Mrs. Noble, her aunt, with
whom she was living. soon after her
disappearance.
Stories atloat seem to indicate that
Durrant possessed q nature rivaling
the Jekyle- Hyde individuality. While
posing as an exemplary Christian in
Emmanuel Church, it is said he was a
frequenter of saloons, and played and
drank in places frequented by wo-
men; that his classmates at the medi-
cal college say he was blasphemous
and tiippart in conversation, especially
about women, and that few days be-
fore Blanche Lamont's death he spoke
lightly of her reputation.
The Inflated church, which will
never be occupied by its congregation
again, is reported to have borne an
uncanny reputation from its inception.
1t is said that the two lots on which
the church was erected were formerly
occupied by houses that were believed,
by persons of nervous temperament,
to be haunted. However that may
be, and persons of sound nerves are
apt to be skeptical in the matter, GER
tain it is that two OF the preachers
who occupied pulpits there came
prominently before the public in a
sensational manner. OF the earlier
pastors of the church, Rev. Chas
Hughes committed suicide in Oakland
eating his throat in a fit OF melan-
choly. Another, I. NJ. Kallock, shot

A VISIT OF EASTERN EDITORs.-Dr.

a number of Eastern journalists to

time next month. Whether they will
visit the western half OF the State or
not, has not been determined, but it
is quite probable they will do so. If
so, doubtless some provision will be

nearly all the present incumbents will
be relieved at Tacoma. Mr.. Mitchell

A FEW days ago Rinear, the Popu-
list sheriff of Spokane county, by the
aid of four guards, took six prisoners
to the State penitentiary, at Walla
Walla. On the way down, the pris-
oners it seems were by no means inn
pressed by the overpowering guard of
honor and stole the commitment pa
pers and railroad tickets from the
Sheriff's pocket and made way with
them. The joke was apparent when,
on approaching the gates of the bastile,
one of the prisoners, with a merry
twinkle in his eye, asked the Sheriff
how he expected to place them in
confinement without the commitment
papers. A few days before, an U. S.
Marshal safely delivered three pris'
oners at the county Jail with COM
mitment papers in his possession, but
then Spokane can probably better
stand the larger cost of imperfect ser.
vice than Uncle Sam.

TACOMA TRIES A BoYCoTT. - Some
OF our Tacoma neighbors censured the
retaliatory spirit manifested by some
of our citizens when it became known
that the Tacoma Chamber of Com
merce had by resolution asked that
work on the capitol be Immediately
suspended. 1t seems, however, that
it makes some difference as to whose
OK is gored, in this, as in other mat
tiers. Lately two young men from St.
Paul canvassed Tacoma for advertise
ments for Northern Pacific railroad
publication, and the Ledger Chat per-
petual marploD observes that "busi-
ness men generally" took that oppor-
tunity of expressing their displeasure
over the change by the company on
their maps OF the name of Mt. Tacoma
to Mt. Rainier" Either the animus
exists, as is charged, and they are con-
demned by the same censure they be-
slowed upon others, or it is only an
excuse for denial of patronage, on ac-
count of hard times and aversion to
standing the cost. Let the reason be
what it may, it is poor return for the
fostering care which the company has
always bestowed upon the city it
founded and has done so much to
maintain.

MORE MURDER.-Michael Metro
foreman of the coke ovens at Wilke-
son, was shot and killed by John Boil
lack, a burly Hungarian, Tuesday
afternoon. 1t seems that Metro had
made some enemies among whom was
Bollack, by discharging them from the
company's employ, and ever since
they have been engaged in making
things unpleasant for him. The men
met in a saloon, and Bollack's insults
became unbearable, and the victim
made enough resistance to excite his
antagonists deadly ire. Bollack went
to his cabin returning with 44-cal-
iber Colts revolver and renewed the
attack. When Metro started towards
him, he deliberately drew the revolver
and shot him in the head. There is
but little hope of his recovery. Boil.
lack is in Jail.
