TRAGEDY IN INDIANA
Fatal Shooting, the Result Of Long
Standing Feud.

Fatal Shooting. the Result of Long
Standing Feud.
PLYMOUTH Qnd.l, Jan. 31.-John
Swoverland, well-known stock-buyer,
was shot and instantly killed by Samuel
S Stewart at sale of machinery on the
farm of Charles Eisener last evening.
The shooting was the result of a long
standing feud. Swoverland, it is un-
derstood, had sworn to kill Stewart.
Stewart, who is about 21, attended the
sale and quarreled with a son of Swov-
erland The elder Swoverland fastened
to the scene and it is said told Stewart
he had come to kill him. Drawing re-
volver he shot at Stewart, but missed
him. Stewart returned the fire, the.
second shot striking Swoverland in the
forehead and penetrating the brain.
After the shooting Stewart started
home to get a horse and come to town
to give himself up. On the way he met
an elder son of Swoverland, who fell
upon him with a knife and nearly killed
him. In the fight Stewards right arm
was cut nearly to pieces. He then went
to Bourbon and gave himself up and
was brought here and put in jail. The
shooting created great excitement.
Young Stewards promptness in surren-
dering to the authorities has greatly
helped his case, and at the preliminary
hearing, which will be held this after
noon, he may be discharged.

FUNDING BILL.
The Many Attacks on the Measure
Seem to Gain Friends for 1t.

seem TO Gain Friends for 1t.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-In the
opinion of many people the attacks of
the San Francisco Examiner" upon
Speaker Reed and the Pacific Railroad
Committee and the methods pursued
by Adolph Sutro are operating strongly
in favor Of the passage of the funding
bill.
The admission of Congressman Hill
born before the committee yesterday
that he was in favor of having the Pa
cific railroads fall into the hands of
some other corporation than the South
ern Pacific Company, and for that rea-
son was in favor of the foreclosure of
the Government lien, has given the
friends Of the refunding measure a very
distinct advantage.
Heretofore the opponents of the fund
ing scheme have occupied a merely
negative position, and Congressman
Hilborn has given definition to the ulti-
mate intention of the opposition to re-
funding, and the result is a distinct
gain to the funding side of the contro
versy.
Representative Mcguire of California
appeared before the House Committee
on Pacific Railroads to-day. He op
posed the funding bills, preferring fore
closure to such legislation, and advo-
Gated an enactment by which the Gov
ernment would own the rails and road
beds on the Pacific railroads and allow
any citizen to run trains over them.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY.
About to Organize as a Corporation
and Go Out of the Trust Business.

About to Organize as a Corporation
and Go Out of the Trust Business.
PITTSBURG, Jan. 31.-The Leader
this evening says: The Standard OIL
Company is about to reorganize as a
corporation and go out OF the trust
business.
The capital of the new company is to
be $200,000,000, just twice the capital
ization of the original trust and so
much of the watered stock the reten-
ton of which is not desired by those on
the inside, win be open for purchase by
the general public, and at prices as high
as the Standard brokers can put them
The purchase of outstanding certificates
of the Standard, there having been an
advance of $35 a share within a month,
is being carried on, it is claimed, to
facilitate the plans of the new organ
ization, and to help make a high market
price for the new shares.
Adopting the usual methods of reor-
ganization, present stockholders would
probably get two shares for one in the
new company, hence the desire to. cor
raj all that can possibly be obtained OF
the present certificates. The par value
of the present stock is 500 a share,
Le1sc oeen paid, which means an an-
nual distribution of the enormous sum
Of $12,00O,000
Independent OF a desire to secure a
continuance of the enormous profits OF
the Standard, and, businesslike, to in
crease them, if possible, it is supposed
that the activity of the independent or
ganizations has emphasized the neces-
sity for closer knitting together Of
all the Standard interests.
NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-A reporter
called on Mr.. Rockefeller, the Standard
Oil magnate, at the residence of that
gentleman, and handed to him a copy
of the Pittsburg dispatch, stating that
the company would reorgaize as a cor
poration and go out Of the trust busi-
ness. Mr.. Rockefeller carefully read
the dispatch and after a moments de-
liberation said: Il am very sorry, but
I must be excused from making a state
ment tonight for publication"
The oil magnate, being further
pressed, declined to either affirm or
deny the news from Pittsburg.
The record-union., 1896-02-01

and other data which has been received
from various sources, have enabled the
commission to make a general estimate
of the state of the case, and take UP the
consideration of specific researches
which must be pursued to secure COR
roborative, or contradictory evidence.
1t has been already practically deter
mined that Secretary Malet-Prevost
will shortly proceed to Madrid to ran
sack the Spanish archives for records
that his experience leads him to believe
are in existence, but have not until this
time been connected with the case. Sat
isfactory assurances have been given
that every facility will be afforded him
for his researches.
One Oh the Commissioners, or an ex-
pert selected by them, will in all prob
ability be sent to The Hague to study
the Dutch archives at the same time.
Spanish investigation having been
undertaken, and as historical data of
the highest Importance is known to be
in the possession of the French national
libraries, it is not beyond the possibil-
tiles that sufficient number of the
Commissioners or their agents will go
to Europe in the next two or three

All the members were in attendance
at the session, which lasted practically
all day, with a brief intermission for
luncheon.
Secretary Malet- Provost announced
that the chief morning business had
been the discussion of some State De
partment papers, as well as the tender
of assistance which had poured in from
every direction, showing a commend
able desire on the part of the people
everywhere to offer evidence. Nothing
had yet been presented by either the
Governments of Great Britain or Vene-
zuela, or has any communication of
any kind been received from these
countries notifying the commission
whether or not they would accede the
request to have representation through
counsel.
The commission, at 4 O'Clock, ad-
journed until Friday, the members in
the meantime to pursue their individual
study of the evidence at hand, as we'll

Of his cell and walked between two
Deputy Sheriffs up the steps to the

AS soon as he was in position on
the drop he commenced talking in
hesitating, disconnected manner. His
words were: II must die. l am all
right. The Sheriff he good man. / one
bad man. l must die. I'm all right"
While he was saying this the depu-
ties were strapping his arms and legs
and adjusting the moose. With the last
words Sheriff Watson touched the lever
at 9:32, and the body dropped nine
feet.
He was pronounced dead at 9:36 and
cut down at 9:47. Every detail passed
off in the smoothest possible manner.
About thirty people witnessed the ex-
ecution, mostly Sheriffs. doctors and
newspaper men.

BRISBANE (Queensland), Jan. 81
Great loss of life and very large de-
struction of property have been caused
In the northern part of this colony by a
tornado and floods. 1t is impossible as
yet to tell how many persons lost their
lives, but it known that great numbers
were drowned.
The damage to property is estimated
at S2,50O000. Several eoasting vessels
are missing, and it is believed that thev
have either foundered or been driven
ashore, and that all on board of them
were lost.
Townsville, seaport on Cleveland
Bay, suffered more than any other place
in the districts affected. There is
scarcely building in the town that es-
capped damage.
Advices from the Tonga Islands show
that a hurricane passed over them.
Two ships at Tongataboo Island were
wrecked and thousands of cocoanut
trees on the plantations Were torn up by
the roots, causing heavy loss to their

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-There is
reason to believe that the request made
II, the Armenian resolutions adopted
by the Senate and House, that a copy
of these resolutions be transmitted to
the six treaty Powers of Europe, does
not meet with the favor of the Admin
istration. The question came up at the
Cabinet meeting to-day, and it is under
stood that the President and his ad-
yisers did not see their way clear to
comply with the wishes of Congress in
the manner in which action is asked
The matter however, is said to be still

relinquish it's efforts in their behalf.
Neither Mr.. Olney nor Senator Jones

PARTY RATES
New Move Made by the Western Pas
senger Association.


CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-The railroads
in the Western Passenger Association
have agreed to take out party rates
after giving the required ten days no.
tice of their intention, which means an
end of the wholesale manipulation Of
these convenient rates by brokers and
others by their abolition. Chicago and
st. Paul have been the cities chiefly
worked by the manipulators, and the
practice threatened the existence of
the association.
No understanding has been reached
yet as to what to do with the theatrical
companies, for which the party rates
were chiefly made, but they will be
taken care of in satisfactory manner
Chairman Caldwell was notified to-
day by all the interested lines that they
had voted unanimously in favor Of
abolishing the rates for parties of ten
or more. Lines in the Western Pas
senger Association which are competi-
tors of the Texas lines were authorized
to-day o-meet their rates for the ath-
letic carnival at El Paso.

THE GERMAN MINISTRY.
Denial of Rumors That the Chancellor
and Others VIII Resign.

LONDON, Jan. 31-This mornings
London newspapers reproduce Berlin
rumors of impending changes in the
German Ministry, owing to resigna-
tions because of differences among the
Ministers in regard to increasing the
strength of the navy, but none of them
attaches any Importance to the reports
The Berlin Post of January 10th
contained an emphatic denial of the
suggestion that plans for an extensive
increase of the German navy were
being formulated. and also denied with
equal positiveness that Prince Hohen-
lohe, the Imperial Chancellor, and
others Of the Ministers We're about to
resign.
The Berlin representative Of the
United States learned upon unquestion-
able authority on January 22d that the
Government had sounded the leaders
of all political parties except the
Socialists upon the question of increas-
ing the strength of the navy with
view to asking the Reichstag for a
large loan for the purpose, and that the
leaders were unanimous in giving q
negative reply to the proposal. The
matter was thereupon dropped by the
