st. Paul, Feb. B. Joseph Friedman,
"a waiter aged twent four, attempted
to murder Julia Oolker, aged eighteen,
and John Huffman, aged twenty two,
last night. He reserved the last bull

not seriously injured. One Of the
three shots fired at him entered near
the point of his collar bone. 1t made
superficial wound extending to his
left armpit. Miss Oelker had gifted
friedman, and, in his own words,
driven him mad.
Friedman is said to h1ve been an
eX-conyict. A little over q year ago
he was sentenced to ten months In the
penitentiary for stealing a box, Of soap
from box car. His sentence was re-
duced to eight months on account Of
good behavior. Upon his release he
returned to this city and secured q
position as a waiter. For the past two
months he has been employed at the
Central restaurant at 414 Jackson
street. He was a man Of temperate
habits and reserved disposition. APP
parently it was about five months ago
that he met Miss Oelker, whose father
keeps saloon at $40 Broadway. The
girl lived at $40 East Sixth street.
She Is brunette with large. express
I've eyes and hair that is inclined to
be curley. Her features are large and
well moulded. For girl Of eighteen
she is very well developed. Generally
considered she is pretty and dresses
attractively.
Friedman had pressed his atten.
t1ons upon her, much to the displeas-
ure of the young woman's father, She
says that she, did not care for him,
either. But few days ago he called
on her and asked her to become his
wife. His offer was declined. The
man was evidently Of an insanely
jealous disposition, for he kept care
full watch on her movements. Last
night when she went to the Grand
opera house with Huffman. who runs
a barber shop at 800 East Seventh,
street, near the corner Of Olive street
he was at the entrance. The barber
did not know the man, but Miss Oelk-
er pointed him out. When the ner-
Iormance was over the couple again
saw Friedman at the door. He was
eyelng them closely, but did not speak.
The girl and her escort passed down
TO Wabasha street and over to Sey-
enth. They did not notice the waiter
again until Wacouta street was
reached. He was walking some dis
lance behind them. The girl began to
get nervous. She confded her fears
to Huffman, who tried to quiet them
FRIEDMAN kept behind them until
within thirty feet of the corner Of East
Seventh and Olive streets, where the
shooting occurred Friedman had
written letter telling that he intend
cd to kill the girl, Huffman and him.

SILVER IN THE HOUSE.

Senate Substitute Referred to the
Ways and Means COMMITTEE
washington, Feb. 5. = The senate
free coinage substitute for the house
bond bill was referred to the ways and
means committee as soon as it reached.
the house to-day. Under the rules a
motion to concur could not be made.
1t will be reported back tomorrow or
next day, with the recommendation
that the house non-concur and insist
upon its bill. Mr.. Dingley, chairman
of the ways and means committee,
says that reasonable time" for debate
will be allowed. The silver men are
asking for two days in which to dis
cuss the bill. The fate Of the substi-
tute is so well assured that the house
programme eXcites almost no interest,
except for the fact that it will furnish
the first direct test of the free silver
vote, at from 100 to 125, the latter
figure being the limit prophesied by
the most sanguine silver men, Mr..
Hartman of Montana predicts that the
Republican vote for the silver substi-
tute will be 35 or 40, and Mr.. Bailey
OF Texas says that about 70 Of the 1O5
Democrats in this house can be counted
upon to support any free silver propo-
slt1on. These estimates are based
upon the proposition of the full attend
ance, which may not materialize, for
there are many absentees this week.

Chasing a Hayward1.m

Minneapolis, Feb. 2.-When Harry
I. Hayward made his now famous
confession his statement concerning a
murder out in Pasadena. Cal. was gen
orally discredited. Before his sudden
demise he failed to give the name Of
the girl whom he claims to have MUIR
dered. and her name was not given in
the confession. A short time since
Deputy Phil Megaarden received let
ter from II. II. WEIGH, an attorney in
Fresno, CAL, which may serve to To-
cate the girl who was murdered, and
may result in giving her name to the
public. The letter written to the sher-
1lI says: "Have you photograph Of
Harry Hayward you can send me? I
think I can trace another affair out
IN this part Of the country to him,
and | would like to see if he is the
man, and to identify him thoroughly
with the deed must have him recog-
;nized, and that can only be done bv

HOPE FOR HUNTER,
This Week May See Him Elected
Senator From Kentucky.

= HAS sSccA NNy see Him Elected
Senator From Kentucky.
Frankfort, Ky, Feb. 5.-Politicians
are looking for lively times in Frank
fort during the week, as Senator Og-
LIVE (Dem.), who was ill. has arrived.
and Beckham Dem.), who was elect
ed Saturday in Nelson county, to sue
coed Wilson, deceased, will come to-
morrow. This makes the assembly
again a tie on joint ballot, and it is
thought the Republicans will report
and act favorably on the contests Of
Dunlap from Lexington, and Werner,
unseating two Democrats, and thus
electing Congressman Hunter to the
senatorship to succeed Blackburn. The
joint assembly convened and went
through with the stereotyped prelimi-
naries, which, up to the voting, were
without incident. Several Of the pairs
announced on Saturday held over to-
day, and the number present was 112.
Senator Siege again complimented
Congressman Evans. The sound
money men divided, Holloway, Hay
ward, Johns, N. n. Rice, Speight, Vio-
lett and Walker voting for McCreary.
and Messenger and Carroll for Car
Isle. Poore voted for Bate. The bal
lot resulted: Hunter, IS; Blackburn,

One Student Dropped

Minneapolis, Feb. 5.-The university
will only contain 2,4O8 students to-
morrow morning, as the faculty, at
their meeting to-day, decided to let
one OF the freshmen take up his books
and walk. The gentleman belonged to
that class Of professional shippers"
whose ranks are being thinned out BY
the faculty. He is Minneapolis boy
and member Of one Of the leading
Greek letter fraternities. It is under
stood that several other students are
being weighed in the balance, and, If
found wanting at any more Of their
recltatlons without good cause, will be
liable to end their university course
very suddenly.

Washington, Feb. 5. The house
spent the entire day discussing a
series of amendments to strike from
the District of Columbia appropriation
bill eight appropriations aggregating
1000 for the maintenance of desti-
tute women and children In various
private and sectarian charitable in
situations in the district. 1t was the
announced purpose Of Mr.. Hainer
(Rep., Neb), who led the fight, to
place the appropriations in the hands
of board of children's guardians Gre
ated several years ago. The amend
ments opened up a wide field Of dis
cussion as to the policy Of appropriate
Ing public money for private and sec
tartan institutions, and Mr.. Robertson
Oem., La.), a member of the appro-
prlations committee, made the direct
charge that the war onthese appro-
priations had been inaugurated by the
a. +. A. This phase on the matter
was, however, approached with great
caution by those who spoke; the advo-
Gates of the amendments placing their
opposition on the broad ground of an
tagonism to appropriatilg public
money for private or sectarian pur.
poses.

GUARD AGAINST BULLETS.

The Use of Chain Armor in the
British Army.
Setting aside at once all talk about
projections that are perfectly bullet
proof, I give you my assurance that
an immense number of the officers Of
our army and navy who go on foreign
service, especially when one Of orr
little wars is expected provide
themselves with certain easily recog-
nized projections.
These, mind you, are we'll known ar
tlcles Of trade to the service The
cOmmonest and most useful type Of
these projections consist Of fine beau
tifu1ly tempered single chains, inclosed
in soft leather, which run along the
shoulders down the outer side Of the
arms and over certain parts Of the
body. These can either be sewn into
a particular tunic or they can be adj
justed separately and put on like har-
ness. Take it absolutely, hundreds
upon hundreds of sets are sold. The
most valuable Of all chains, in connec-
ton with accoutrements, are those
which guard the head, and in cases
where the regular cap or helmet is not
sufficiently protected in this way,
specially made chains are sewn inside
the same and covered by the lining.
Only those who have been in actual
conflict know how valuable all the
chains mentioned are in minimizing
the effect Of sword cuts. AS regards
protection from sword and bullet, the
general belief of officers nowadays
seems to be in thoroughly tanned
leather, and great quantities Of tight
fitting leather under-t TUNES are made
for officers, the fayorite patron said
to be the invention Of the late Sir
Richard Burton-being that which
forms a not too prominent ridge down
the center Of the chest. I have heard
innumerable stories from officers Of
bullets which have been diverted in
some degree by these leather tunics,
some Of which are lined with woven
steel wire. OF course, none Of these
things are supposed to be an absolute
protection, but only a sort Of pallia.

He Slashed His Throat

Minneapolis, Feb. 2. Harry John
son committed suicide early this morn
ing by cutting his throat with razor.
No reason can be assigned for the act
only that during the past. few days he
had been drinking very freely, and it
is thought that in a fit Of despond-
ency, brought on by drink, he took
his life. He was thirty-six years old
and single. For the past year and a
half he has been employed by James
Mcintosh & Co., spice dealers, as a
