MURDERED FOR MONEY.
A Wealthy Citizen of Brennan the
Victim of Unknown Assassins.

Brennan, Tex, Jan. 29.-(Special.)-
Thomas Dwyer, a millionaire, said to be
the wealthiest man in Washington coun-
ty, was at an early nour tonight muir
dered by unknown persons in his office
the city robbery being the motive.
Yesterday Mr.. Dwyer sold out his bus
mess here and was known to have re-
ceived large amount of cash. which it
was supposed he had put in his safe as
he was known to have small use for
banks. Tonight he failed to return home
at his usual hour and his wife sent
messenger to the office to tell him to
come to supper.
When the man reached the office he
found large safe had been blown open
and papers Scattered all over the room,
while everywhere blood was spattered,
at once turned in a fire alarm and the
news soon spread, bringing thousands
of people, men, women and children. to
the scene. A trail of blood to a trap
door in corner of the room. which gave
entrance to an underground cistern. A
fire engine was put to work and pumped
the cistern dry. when the mutilated re-
mains of Mr.. Dwyer, the head pounded
to a jelly, were found. There will I'M
doubtedly be a lynching when the as
sassins are caught, as they will be, for
the whole country is aroused
MIR. Dwyer was I6 years of age and
came to Texas in 1886 from Ireland
without cent.

SECOND DEGREE MURDER.

Fort Worth, Jan. 30.-(Special 1.-The
trial of Charley Price for murder of
Aaron Geer, a negro, closed today and Il
verdict rendered against defendant for
murder in the second degree and his
penalty assessed at 10 years in the peni-
Tertiary.
On the 10th of last November Price
killed the negro while intoxicated in
Schubert's saloon, in this city. Although
the negro was fleeing for his life when he
was killed, it was shown in the trial that
the defendant was greatly intoxicated
and did the killing without malice or
even knowledge of the crime he was
committing, hence the light sentence i'm
posed upon him.

JOHN L. IS HIMSELF AGAIN.

Peoria, ILL.,, Jan. cat Davenport
last night John L. Sullivan went out
after. the performance and got drunk.
On the Rock Island and Peoria this
morning about 1880, between Lafayette
and Galva, he walked off the rear plat
form. The train was stopped and the
men started to help him out of the dirt
where he was lying, but he threatened
to fight anyone who touched him and he
got up and walked into the train himself.
The train was backed to Lafayette and a
surgeon dressed his wounds, but he tore
the bandages off. At Peoria another sur
geon was called, but Sullivan would not
allow him to touch him and he went on
another train. He was only bruised.

THE COLOR LINE DRAWN.
The Same Cultured Bean Center that
SO Recently Condemned the South.

Boston, Jan. Considerable sup
pressed excitement was noted in Chris
tan Endeavor circles today as the result
of the news that Bishop Arnett of Ohio,
who is here to attend the Christian En-
deavor rally, had been refused admit
lance to three of Boston's leading hotels
on account of color, and vigorous denun-
Citations of the management of the hotels
in question was heard on every hand.
Bishop Arnett was beseiged with call
ers, and although he deplores the stir
that has been made about the matter,
those with whom he is associated did
not hesitate to express to him their in
dignation at the action.
Mr.. Archibald NJ. Howe. president of
the MiddleseX Unitarian club, announces
his intention of thoroughly investigating
the circumstances and states that devel-
opments will influence the club in decid-
ing where it's next meeting will be held.
1t is probable that action will be taken
with reference to the reported insult to
the bishop at the big Christian Endeavor
meeting in Mechanics hall tonight.

recognition and adds if the government of
the United States still refrains from
recognizing the belligerency of the in
surgents after this conclusive fact, the
reason doubtless is that in the absence of
legal complication the question becomes
wholly political and that it's true situa-
ton must lie not in recognition of
belligerency, but in recognition of in
dependence.
He says in conclusion that he is con-
fident that no other action accords with
our friendly relations with Spain, our
just sympathy with Cuba and with our
dignity and consistency.

4 VIOLENT Arrangement.
CLEVELAND AND CARLISLE
SCATHINGLY ATTACKED BY
SENATOR TILLMAN.
II WAS A MOST Remarkable SPEECH
So Veteran Senators Say-Majority and
Minority Reports on Cuban Belliger-
ency Were Submitted-A Brief
Session of the House.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The presenta-
ton of committee reports on Cuba and n
highly dramatic and sensational speech
of Mr.. Tillman, the new senator from
South Carolina, furnished two stirring
events in the senate today. The majori-
ty resolution on Cuba asks the president
to urge Spain to grant belligerent rights
to the insurgents, while the minority re-
port directs the president to take steps
towards securing from Spain the COM
plete independence of Cuba. Both reso-
lutions went to the senate calendar.
Such torrent of invectives has seldom
been heard in the senate as that in the
speech of Mr.. Tillman. Veteran men,
bers of the body characterized the speech
as one of the most remarkable in the up
per branch of congress. 1t abounded in
statements of sensational character, ar
raigning President Cleveland, Secretary
Carlisle and other men in high official
life. There was directness of state
ment and dramatic manner of delivery
which held the floor and galleries.
At one point he made profound salute
the financial victor of quarter of GEN.
tury:" The galleries We're moved alter
nately to applause and laughter. Paus-
ing for sip of water, amid the confusion
he said: II seldom wet my whistle
while l speak, still you can't run wind
mill without water"
The next moment there was hush
throughout the chamber as the senator
applied such names as Judas to a men,
Der of the cabinet or characterized the
president in bitter terms. At times the
senator's voice sank to whisper, as,
for instance, when he gave warning as
to the approach of a popular revolution
and communism and the marching on
Washington of host with rifles in their
hands. Again his voice resounded
through the chamber and the outer cor
ridOrs as he called senators and men,
bers, towards" for not resorting to i'm
parchment.
Mr.. Jones Dem.) of Arkansas gave
further notice of test ON the senate's
endurance tomorrow, if necessary, to Sc
cure vote on the silver bond bill.
