FOUL MURDER OF THREE PERSONS
The Victims Were IA Father and His
Son and Daughter.

Fresno, Cal, June ga crime, winch
for wanton atrocity has no parallel in the
criminal history of Fresno county was
perpetrated last night within two miles of
this city. The three victims were all Of
one family-father, daughter and son.
They were Stephen Shahamirian, his
daughter aged q, and Benjamin Sha-
hamirian, aged about 49, all Armenians
by birth.
The triple murder occurred in the vine
yard Of DR.. Meux in Fresno colony. The
crime is as mysterious as sanguinary. The
identity of the assassin has not yet been
established, although one person, Daniel
Shahamarian, a nephew of the slaugh-
tered Stephen, is in custody under sus-
picion. The Inflated Armenians were last
seen alive at o'clock last night at their
home. The exact time of their departure
from their home for the lonely spot a
mile away where they met their fate is
not known, for no one has yet been found
who saw them leave the house.
Just after dark people residing contig-
uously to the Meux vineyard heard three
pistol shots, which attracted no special
attention. At o'clock this morning a
plowman on the Meux ranch suddenly
came upon the bodies of the murdered Ar
menans. All three were lying together
upon the ground. No cause for the muir
ders is known. Each victim was found to
be shot In the back of the head.

Northern Pacific Elevator Co.'S Large
Building Totally Destroyed.

Walla Waua, June 7.-Tonight about
midnight an alarm of fire was sounded
which quickly brought out the fire de-
partment. Ii was ascertained that the
grain elevator belonging TO the Northern
Pacific Elevator Company was on fire.
The fire had gained such a start that
all efforts to extinguish it proved I'M
awaiting. In a short time the large build
ing, together with the contents, was
consumed.
The capacity of the building is about
100, 900 bushels of grain. At the time
there were only about 10000 bushels in
the building. This grain ii is stated be-
longs to Dement, Brothers. Everything
proved a total loss. There is doubtless in
surance on both building and contents,
but owing to the lateness of the hour
the particulars could not be ascertain
ed The fire is undoubtedly the work OF
an incendiary. At the time of the fire
heavy rain prevailed which prevented the
fire from being more general
Several adjoining buildings caught fire,
and also cars, but were saved

Mckinley Not to BE Nominated by
an AccIimation Vote.

st. Louis, June 7.--According to an in
terview with Chauncey I. Filley. the re-
publican leader "a E:..-0.:-i. which APP
pears in the Post-Dispatch, William Nc
Kinley will not be nominated on the first
ballot
Can Mr.. Mckinley be nominated on
the first balot?' was asked Mr.. Fflley.
Yes, but there is no purpose on the
part Of his friends and managers to at
tempt any such condition. Those who
talk or urge it are not the friends OF
Mckinley in the real sense of true friend
snip They are evidently unfamiliar with
the rules of the republican national con
Venuons, and the cOurtesies to every can
dldate and his right to have his name
presented, voted upon and to have the
vote announced
1t would be the height of presumption
II not impudence to attempt any other
course. The friends of Reed, Allison,
Morton and others, even if in the minor
Ivy have their rights, and they will be
respected. The rules of this convention,
IKE others of the past will, no doubt,
provide that when the roll is being called
no change of vote will be in order and
mat 1t will be announced. Then, if a
majority has not been had another ballot
VIII be proceeded with. and continued
ontil there is majority of all the dele
gates elected announced
hence, no stampede or reclamation
vote VIII be in order. Without the con-
teSted southern votes. some lis of Nc
Aihieys, it is possible to nominate him
On the first formal ballot. Sometimes an
INFORMAL ballot is taken"

Chicago, June 5.-The first step looking
toward the removal Of the headquarters
of the republican national committee from
New York to Chicago were taken today
al a meeting of the republican state cen
trail committee by the adoption of the fol-
lowing resolutions
Whereas, 1t is generally conceded that
the great battles in the campaign of 1896

thereby making it absolutely necessary
that the headquarters of the republican
party should be near the geographical
and political center; and
Whereas, Chicago has unexcelled facil-
tiles for communication by rail and wire
with all parts of the Union; therefore
be it
Resolved, That this committee, repre-
senting the republican party of Illinois,
hereby request the republican national
committee to establish it's headquarters
in the city of Chicago, and we further re-
quest the delegates to the national con-
yention at st. Louis and the national

CITY INCORPORATION
A Decision Handed Down by the
Idaho Supreme Court.

Boise, Idaho, June 8.-The supreme
court today handed down a decision III
the Caldwell city Incorporation case, that
is Of interest to number of Idaho towns.
The legality of the organization as a
city of the second class is affirmed, the
decision of the lower court being re
versed. In 1893 the legislature passed
law governing incorporation of cities of
the second class. Towns desiring to in
corporate under the act were required to
submit the question to the voters. Cald-
we'll and some other towns proceeded TO
elect officers under the new law with
out first putting the question to a popular
vote. Recently a test case was brought
to determine the legality of the action
then taken, as the proposed bonds were
affected. The lower court held that the
action was illegal. The supreme court
holds that the fact that the people elect
ed officers under the law and that there
has been no protest shows that they in
tended to take advantage of the law;
that they have acquiesced and that this
acquiescence makes the present organ
ization legal

He Was Not Feigning Insanity When he
Was in Court Facing Jury.
James P. Fogg, of Roadstown, has been
taken to the Insane Asylum, at Trenton.
A Commission of Lunacy has investi-
gated his ease and pronounced him in
sane.
Fogg, it will be remembered, was the
man who was tried at the last regular
term OF Court, on charge of obtaining
goods under false pretenses, and was
acquitted of the charge by the jury. The
State at that time tried to convict him of
the charge, but the defense claimed that
.Fogg was insane and unfit to transact
any business, being wholly incapable on
account of his insanity alone.
The Court and Prosecutor at that time
almost ridieuled the idea of his being in
sane. They were not alone in this mat
ter, either, for nearly everyone in the
court room thought Fogg was feigning
insanity, but his lawyer, Ogden Burt,
stuck to the idea that he was insane.
1t has now become settled matter tina
the man was insane, and is now in the
Asylum, where he properly belongs.

STRUCK BY A FLY WHEEL.
James Hinman is Badly Injured at the
Rolling Mills.

James Hinman is Badly Injured at the
Rolling Mills.
An accident occurred at the rolling mill
of the Cumberland Nail andsIron Works
which will no doubt cause James Hin
man, a colored man, to lose his life
Hinman while under the influence of
liquor, went up to the mill and entered
the works. He was engaged in CONVEX
sation with some work men there and sat
down on barrel.
The barrel was near the big fly wheel,
which was in operation, making many
revolutions minute.
During his jocular talk the barrel
rolled and Hinman fell headforemost
into the pit when the fly wheel revolves.
His head struck on the wheel which
threw him back apparently dead.
Blood few in all directions and the
mans head looked as if it had been bat
tered to a jelly.
Hinman was picked up and taken to
his home. He lives in the house owned
by the West Jersey Railroad Company
on the corner of Orchard street and the
railroad track. Three doctors were in at :
tendance. They discovered that Hin
man had received compound fracture
of the skull. The brain was exposed.
He had several cuts on his head besides
the fracture. The doctors tried trephin-
ing, but it seemed impossible for him to
live through the night. 1t was a great
wonder Hinman was not killed instantly.
He cannot live.

hog and Harris after gazing at his victim
a few seconds took to the woods and ran
away, saying nothing to anyone. Locke
lay on the ground unconscious until car
ried in the house and put to bed.
DR.. Harker was Immediately sum-
moned and dressed the wound, which
was an ugly one to look at.
Locke passed restless night and once
during the night he thought he was dying
and called the people of the house around
him to bid them goodbye, saying he was
dying.
On Friday morning when DR.. Harker
arrived he found Locke in bad condi-
ton and while the PIONEER representa-
tive was there Locke had several chills
and his teeth would rattle and his eyes
roll, he complaining all the time of sew
eral pains at the base of his skull. This
is pretty sure indication of an inside
fracture which will most likely prove
fatal. The doctor has doubts of his re-
covery.
Locke is said to be peaceable fellow
when sober, but very quarrelsome when
drunk. Harris, his assailant, is stout,
black fellow and bad man generally.
All the parties concerned are colored.
Harris shoes were brought to the
church for him to put on Wednesday
night, but he did not call for them. 1t is
thought he is in hiding somewhere in this
city.
Locke is liable to die from the wound.
Constable George Reed, of Port Norris
has the case in charge. M
There has been trouble in Port Norris
ever since the Baltimore and Virginia
colored persons have located there, but it
seems to be among themselves.

ton, was broken into by thieves early
Sunday morning.

OF the goods in the store, such as boots

etc.
Then they went to the livery stables of
Joe Smith and stole horse and brand
new pheton, and taking them to the
store, backed up the wagon and loaded it
full Of goods.

with the goods, considering the amount
of articles which the finn missed.

committed some time after midnight
Saturday.
Just how much was stolen could not
be ascertained Sunday but it is thought
about hundred dollars worth of goods
were taken.

yesterday morning and from here to
Millville, where the horse, wagon and all
the goods, except one pair of rubber
boots, were found in what is known as

UNION SERVICE.
Ihe series of Congregational Meetings
Commenced in the Opera House SUM-
day Evening.

day Evening,
The congregational meetings of the CITY
opened in the Opera House Sunday for
a months series of religious meetings.
Nearly all the churches of the CITY were
closed except those where overflow SER
vices were held.
Long before the time for the call of the
meetings crowd stood around the Opera
House door awaiting an entrance, and by
shortly after seven o'clock the house was
hlled to an estimated number of fifteen
hundred souls. After this time people
were turned away and were compelled to
seek other fields of worship. The First
Presbyterian Church was the edifice Sc
lected for the overflow meeting, and this
church was also filled. The Central M. E.
Church had large congregation, and the
Commerce st. NJ. E. Church had good
sized crowd.
AT the Opera House the meeting was
opened with song service led by chorister
VIII Evans, who had choir of one hun
dred voices ON the stage.
Most of the pieces sung last night were
old ones, the chorister being timid about
putting on the new music for these
special meetings the first night. The
music was fine and the voices blended
nicely. Roy Robinson was organist.
After the song service, Rev. Mr..
Bridges, Of the West Presbyterian Church
read the Scriptures and prayer was Of
fered by Rev. J. F. Heilenman, of Trim
ity M. E. Church. A duet was sung by
Mrs. Edwards and cousin from Phila-
delphia.
; Rev. {. c. Tilley, of the First Baptist
Church preached the sermon which was
strong, clear and forcible one. The after
meeting was in charge of Rev. w. D.
Stultz, who reviewed the work of the
comnaittees who have canvassed the city,
and asked what the church members
were doing in this great religious work
| the churches has combined to do.
At the First Presbyterian Church, Rev.
Mr.. Hart, pastor of the Berean Church,
occupied the pulpit and delivered an ex-
cellent discourse. A choir was sent Srom
the Opera House to this church with
Thomas R. Janvier as chorister and Mrs
w. O. Garrison as organiss.
These meetings are to be held nightly
in the Opera House for one month, with
overflow meetings at the differen
churches as designated. Mr.. Evans ha
two hundred names enrolled for tn
choir, ,Ih ut of course this is more than can
be given positions on the stage.
Services are being held this Afternoon
in the First Presbyterian Church.
Frem the large number of persons VIII,
attended the first service in the series O
meetings at the Opera House, the unio
services bid fair to become at once one O
the greatest religious revivals of all de
nominations ever seen in this city.
