: FIRED ON THE ROBBERS.
Springfield, Ills, Grocer Gets Bullet in
His Arm.

His Arm.
Springfield, Ills, Dec. 19.-The two
men who held up the cashier IN Mob
lett's laundry attempted to hold up j.
Adams McGraw, a Fourth street gro
Ger, in the same manner. Two years
ago McGraw was robbed in his store
of $4,000, and he always goes armed.
When the men came in and ordered
him to throw up his hands, he pulled
his revolver and commenced to fire. The
robbers returned the fire and a dozen
shots were exchanged. McGraw was
wounded in the right arm and fell, but
transferring his revolver to Lis left
hand he continued to shoot at the rob-
bers.
The men ran towards the door and as
they passed out one of them gave a cry
of pain and dropped his revolver His
companion grabbed him and with his
arm about him for support the men
ran together through a vacant lot and
disappeared before the police arrived.
McGraw thinks one of his bullets struck
the man who dropped the revolver, but
does not believe he was seriously In
jured At 10 o'clock the police received
notice that two men, one of whom was
apparently in distress, had been seen
by a train crew on the Baltimore and
Ohio Southwestern near the city and
officers have gone in search Of them.

SURE MAcEo is ALIVE.
Captain Broward Thinks the Body Found
Was That of Mr.. Doty.


Key West. Fla. Dec. 19.-Captain N.
b. Broward. the principal owner Of the
flibuster Three Friends. and who has
heretofore commanded the steamer on
its trips to Cuba, knows Antonio Maceo
well, and is confident the insurgent
leader is not dead. Captain Broward
says:
THE description Of the man alleged
to have been killed near Punta Brava
does not fit. That mans mustache is
said to have been tinged with gray.
whereas Maceo had no gray hairs in his
mustache. i know Maceo. and he wore
no such clothing as is alleged to have
been found on the body at Punta
Bravo. If any one was killed there
think it was a Mr.. Doty of New York,
who went to Cuba from this place some
months ago and Joined Maceo's force.
Doty and young Gomez went together
and it is possible they were killed.
"Doty had silk underclothing, on
which was an M the mark of the man
ufacturer. He also had a fine water
proof, magnificent cuff buttons, and a
handsome gold watch. ] know that
Doty had such knife as the Span
iards claim to have taken from the
body. Maceo had no knife or machete,
but carried a Toledo blade with tor
toise shell handle"

IOWA CIGARETTE LAW.
Tobacco Company Ships the Packages
Loosely into the State.

Burlington, Ia. Dec. 19-The cigar
cite law passed by the recent state leg
isature is virtually a dead letter in
Burlington. All cigars and tobacco
stores sell the little smokers openly and
above board. in perfect security from
the penalty of the law. This is the re-
suit of the decision of the supreme
court regarding original packages.
Formerly cigarettes were shipped into
Burlington in boxes containing a dozen
or more packages of cigarettes. Now
the American Tobacco company ships
the packages loosely thrown into an
uncovered basket, the company assum-
ing all risk of loss by pifering. In this
way each package, containing from ten
to twenty cigaretts, forms an original
package. and may be purchased by the
consumer as such, with perfect immun-
ity from the penalty of the cigarette
law. The sale of cigarettes has in
creased, rather than fallen off, in Bur-
lington lately.

SECRETLY MARRIED.
Governor Draker's Daughter Gives Him
Quite a Surprise.

Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 19.-Miss Mary
Lord Drake, daughter of the governor
of Iowa, and George Sturdivant of Gen.
terville were secretly married at Dem
yer on the 2Sth day of October, nearly
two months ago. Governor Drake
brought the news to Des Moines few
days ago. The marriage was a pretty
romance on the part of the young peo-
pie concerned, but something of a dis
appointment to the father of the bride.
Governor Drake himself was kept out
of the secret until he went to Denver a
few days ago TO rest little and to Wis
it with his daughter, expecting to bring
her and his niece, Miss Mary Carpen-
ter, home with him after the summer
and fall sojourn at the Colorado re-
sorts.
At the hotel in Denver he was met
first by Miss Carpenter, who proceeded
as gently as possible to break the news
of his daughters marriage. He would
not believe it until he had been shown
the certificate of marriage duly signed.
1t has not been recorded yet that he
has forgiven the young man who won
his daughters heart and her hand also.

New York, Dec. ia verdict OF i'm

White Plains Thursday. The widow Of
Charles f. Smith sought to recover
So, 900 from the order on a benefit GER
tificate issued to her husband In 1887.
After a number of years in which the
payments were kept up by Mr.. Smith
he met with business reverses, his wife
thereafter paying the assessments until
1895. Then she received printed no.
tice that payments might be made to
collector Of the order at a designated
place. She was unable to find col
lector there and the payments ceased.
Soon afterwards her husband died. hav-
ing become insane. She sought to col
lect the amount of the benefit but pay
ment was refused on the ground that
the council rooms were the proper place
forthe receiving of assessments and
when the limit for paying the assess
ments had expired the council had sus-
pended Smith. The jury found for Mrs.
Smith and awarded her the full amount.

Cause of the Lynching.
NEGRO MURDERER HANGED.
His Crime Was the Brutal Killing of n
Young Woman.

His Crime Was the Brutal killing OF n
Young Woman.
Upper Marlboro, Md, Dec. 19.-James
Smith, colored, was hanged here at
1892 a. m. Friday. Smith was brought
here on a late train Thursday night
from Baltimore. He has been confined
in Baltimore since his arrest. Margaret
Brown, a young woman who lived with
her aunt near the little town of Upper
Marlboro Prince George county, Nd,
was found in her room on the evening
and there were evidences that another
heinous crime had been committed.
Suspicion was at once directed towards
James Smith, a mulatto, who had been
a servant in the family, but who had
been dismissed for having made i'm
proper advances toward the girl.
Smith was arrested on the following
day in Washington, and confessed hav-
ing committed the murder, but denied
the other crime. He was removed to
Baltimore for safe-keeping until his
trial, at which time he again confessed
and attempted to put a stain upon the
character Of his victim by alleging that
improper relations had existed between
them, and that he committed the muir
der because she persisted in breaking
off these relations. He was promptly
convicted am again removed to Balti-
more for safe-keeping, public indigna-
tion rendering a lynching almost GER
tain if he had been confined in Prince
George county jail.
