The Pr ohibitionists Are Loading Gun
That Will Blow Them Up.
Pittsburg, May 2e.-That there will be a
split in the prohibition party as a result
of to-morrow's convention, leaders of
both factions freely admit tonight. The
split will come, they say, over the money
plank in the platform. As yet, scarcely
a word has been said regarding prohibi-
ton. The money question has been the
all absorbing topic of the discussion. 1t
has become a bitter and acrimonious dis
cussion. The bitterness of feeling in
creases hourly, and when the convention
meets IL promises to be little battle of
determination. II the gold standard
plank should be adopted in the platform
by the eastern delegates, then those ia
voring the coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to l will secede. II, on the other
hand, the so-called free silver delegates
adopt a free coinage plank then the gold
standard crowd will leave. and SHOULD the
convention fail to declare COR woman sui
frage. the feminine portion of the con-
vention will sever its connection with the
party. 1t promises to be Il memo-s BILE
convention for the prohibitiCnisTs, and
bids fair to wreck the party. The zee
silver faction claims to have AN over
whelming majority of Votes. Governor ST.
John is of the belief that a broa1-ga ge
candidate will be nominated on ;he first
ballot Samuel Dickey is equally san
guine that free silver will be defeated

the hospital, testified that Mrs. Cur

uonal ever since she had been at the

terrible scar that would remain ON her
neck. When first brought to the hos

times that IL she ever did such a trick
again she would employ different

was constantly improving. Her hus-

Some Stories a.

HAVANA, April 1.-THE columns of
troops commanded by General Suarez,
Yuclan, Escahvaria and Colonel Devos.
the latter commanding the Alfonso
XIII battalion, left Ms.,iel at the north
ern end of the military line across the
province of Pinal del Rio, by different
roads. Colonel Devos, in passing the
plantation of San Claudio, met the
irsurgent van guard, consisting of 200
cavalry. The latter retreated and were
pursued by the troops. Suddenly the
insurgents appeared on the neighbor-
ing heights but were driven from them
by the soldiers. Near Lechusa a force
of 5000 insurgents attempted to sur
round the Alfonso XIII battalion and
the latter was compelled to retreat
The soldiers fought well in retreating
and at the expiration of two hours they
reached the landing place at San
Claudio, and fortified themselves while
protected by the fire of the artillery.
The insurgents, however, suffered in
pushing the soldiers onto San Claudio.
There the battalion was reinforced by
a gunboat, and soon after the column
of troops commanded by General
Yuclan arrived On the scene and prob
ably saved Colonel Devos' command
from a severe handling.
Proceedings are to be taken against
General Escharavia with the view of
ascertaining why he failed to support
the operations of the other columns to
relieve the Alfonso XIII battalion. In
the meanwhile Eschavaria has been
suspended from his command.

HORRIBLE!
INSANE FATHER KILLS HIS THREE
CHILDREN.
Brooded Over What Might Happen
in Case Other Things Happened,
and Thereby Became Unbalanced.

CHICAGO, April 14.-While brooding
over the idea that his family would suffer
from want, John Lehman this evening
shot and killed his three children. After
committing this terrible deed, Lehman
attempted to end his own life by hanging,
but failing in this, he turned the revolver
upon himself and sent bullet through
his heart, killing himself instantly. The
names of the dead are:
John Lehman, IS years old.
Clara Lehman, years old.
Bertha Lehman, 3 years old.
An infant four months old, not yet
named.
For eight years Lehman has been in the
employ of the West Chicago Street Rail
way company, and during the greater
part of the time had been driver on the
Center avenue line. Lehman has saved
81 500. This money is deposited in one
of the city banks. The family lived COM
fortably and wanted for nothing. Not
wfthstanding that fact. Lehman worried
a great deal. He had fear that some
day his savings would be swept away
and his family would become dependent
on charity.
He gradually grew worse and of late,
when at home, he talked of nothing else
Mrs. Lehman and Henry Lehman. her
young stepson, were away from home
when the tragedy occurred. At $50
o'clock Henry Lehman returned and
found that his father had killed all the
children except himself. Minnie Lehman
a daughter, who had not returned from
school was, besides Henry, the only child
to escape and both would have been
children were shot through the heart and
killed instantly. One bullet did the work
in every case. The body of Lehman was
found lying in the bath room up stairs
A piece OF clothes line was around his

The Venezuelan Commission.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-The Vene-
zuelan commission met today after ten
days recess with all the members pres
ent. The time was consumed in read
ing the reports from the individual
members upon the progress they are
making with the particular matters of
investigation entrusted to them.
Scruggs, consul for the Venezuelan
government, submitted forty maps and
charts which were receiving consider

transactions of documents included in
the mass of evidence prepared at Cara
cas- and transmitted to the commission
through Miaister Andrade.
Word has come from London to the
effect that the British government is
preparing supplement to the blue
book containing translations of docu-
merits generally referred to in the first
volume, which is expected to reach
Washington soon, but saving the pre-
sentaton of the blue book-and even
this came indirectly-the British gov
eminent so far has. failed to follow the
example set by Venezuela and submit
formal case to the commission and
accept the invitation to be represented
by counsel.

1T WAS STUBBORN.

One of the Most Peculiar Fires That
Ever Occurred in New York.
NEW YORK, April 14.-One of the
most stubborn fires with which the de-
partment has had to contend recently,
started in some unknown way in the
boiler room of the five story brick
building, rs Grant, occupied by three
firms, most of whom represent Euro
pean firms, and deal principally in silk,
dress goods and kid gloves. The fire
men fought the flames nearly three
hours before they were under control,
but succeeded in keeping the blaze in
the westerly end of the building. The
loss is estimated at about 100000 and
is covered by insurance. During the
course OF the fire two firemen were
partially overcome by smoke and one
OF them was burned about the face
and was also cut by falling glass. The
principal losers are: c. Aumordt &
Co., importers; Frank Mertz, dress
goods; Hugo Bondy, kid gloves, and

WHY 1T WAS DONE

WASHINGTON April 14-It is
learned at the war department that
the return of Colonel Ludlow, the naval
attache of London, to this country is
brought about by reason of demand
for his services in his corps, though
where he is to be detailed when he
returns cannot yet be learned. 1t was
understood that when the officer re-
turned to Europe after making the re-
port upon the Nicaraguan canal last
fall, he was to be relieved of his detail
as soon as he could supplement the
report by the collection of details re-
specting the great European canals.
