Fearful Quintuple Tragedy.

PENwATER, Mich: A bold attempt
was made On the life of VIM. B. o. Sands,
president of the Sands q Maxwell Lum-
Der Company. Suspicion pointed to H.
B. Minchell, a local insurance agent, and
it was decided to put him under arrest.
The officers found his residence locked,
broke open the door, and a horrible sight
was presented. Mrs. Minchell was lying
On the floor with a bullet hole in her tenn
pie. Near by was the dead body of her
l6-year-old daughter Rudy. In the COR
aer lay Minchell with an empty revolver
elutched in his hand. He, too, was dead.
In an adjoining room George, aged 4, and
IN infant brother lay dead in bed. The
motive for the crimes is a mystery.
Later: Developments prove that Min
ehell's horrible crimes were premiditated.
A letter written by the murderer shows
he contemplated killing his family two
months ago. Fear of poverty is the eX-
cuse offered. Minchell left another long
letter, the gist of which is that Sands had
promised him all of his company's bust
ness, and nov demanded a third commits

Cars Hand Behind 1t.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, via Sofia, Bulgaria:
1t now appears that the Turkish Govern
ment based its action in expelling Ameri-
can Missionary Rev. George P. Knapp on
an understanding with United States
Minister Terrell. 1t is added that it was
agreed between the Government and Ter
rell that Knapp was to leave Bitlis April
l. The missionary at that date had taken
no steps to depart, and local officials
politely invited him to leave. AT that
time it is also said United States Charge
d. Affairs Riddle had received no official
explanation of the subject.
Knapp has left Diarbekir for Allepo
and from there, unless the plans OF the
Turkish Government are interfered with,
he will be invited" to go to A~leXandriet-
Ia in order to embark upon a steamer
there.
Several reasons are given for the move
ment to eXpel missionaries and the Red
Cross from Turkey, but the affair may be
summed up in the fact that Russia and
Turkey are alarmed at the effect of the
work of the missionaries in Armenia and
elsewhere, and that it has practically been
decided they will be expelled in order to
make way for the priests of the Russian
church. This is believed to be the basis
of the secret treaty between Russia and
Turlav

Bradstreet's Review.

New YORK: Bradstreet's says: While
there is no general increase in business
there are several encouraging features
first, the adavnce in prices of wheat, -four,
corn, oats, pork and sugar, together with
that for steel billets and beams and other
iron and steel products. The advance in
wheat has continued so much longer than
expected that traders are again discussing
the likelihood of this being the beginning
of the long advance for cereals, which
they believe must come after the extreme
depression for the past few years. I'm
favorable crop reports from central west
ern states, confirmation of previous short
crop reports from Argentine and Aus
tralia, small supplies in Europe and afloat
therefor, but, above all, a revival of spec
ulative interest in wheat-are underneath
cereal prices.
Bradstreet's regular quarterly exhibit
Of comparative prices of 1OS staple arti-
eles, including live stock, shows higher
quotations for % products on April l, 1895,
compared with IS which are lower and Is
which are unchanged, in contrast with
corresponding quotations OIL January L.
ContraSted with one year ago there are
increases of quotations for 4S items, while
8 are unchanged and 40 are lower.
Exports of wheat, -four included as

States, amount to 1,764 900 bushels this

Not NihiIist Krasnow.

WASHINGTON: Ii. w. Schyke of 1886
Indiana Avenue, Chicago, who, it is al
legged, had sailed from Philadelphia in
the steamship Belgenland for Liverpool
on his way to Russia, is in Washington.
1t is stated that while known in Chicago
as Schyke his real name was Gregor Kras-
now, and that he was a Russian nihilist,
alleged to have been implicated in the
plot that resulted in the assassination of
Alexander II, Gar of Russia.
Mr.. Schyke was very much surprised
at the reports and said: II know of no
such man as Gregor Krasnow, and have
no idea how any one came to make such
a mistake as to my identity. 1 have lived

Murdered Their Father.

LEAvENwoRTH, Kan: Young Charles
Lamborn and Annie Lamborn, his sister,
who are in jail here charged with COM
plicity in the murder of their father, have
confessed to having actively assisted
Thomas Davenport, the lover of the girl
and the friend of the brother, in the COM
mission Of the crime.
Old man Lamborn was murdered at his
ranch in Fall Leaf Township, this county,
on the night Of February 10. According
to the confession Lamborn and his sister
left home to attend a dance. Near their
home they met Davenport and it was
agreed that the aged father, who had for
hidden Davenport to visit his daughter
and who, though wealthy, was commonly
accused of making his two children slaves
to the drudgery of farm life, should be
killed. Davenport then went direct to
the honse, crept in through a rear door
and with one blow of an ak dispatched
the old man as he sat in a chair by his
fireside. The two men then burned the
dead mans will by which he had disposed
of an estate valued at over $50, 600. After
this they joined the girl and the three
proceeded to the dance where they seemed
to enjoy themselves with the others.
After the dance they returned to the
house and slept there. In the morning
they spread the news of Landlords MUIR

eral interest in 1868 and sat for that
town in 1880, when he gave up his seat
to Sir William Vernon Harcourt. This
was an act of great unselfshness on the
part of the man. He had gone into Par
lament for the express purpose of helping
the sailors and gave up his seat from the
same motive. He was convinced that a
cabinet minister would be able to render
better service to the cause of the sailors
than a private member, and hence made
way for Harcourt. His career in Parlia-
ment was useful, and he was instru-
mental in passing acts for the amendment
of the shipping laws in 1871, 1873, 1875
and 1876. In 1877 Mr.. Plimsoll publish
ed "Our Seamen," and since then wrote
and published q sequel to it. In 1890 he
published a work on Cattle Ships"
When the National Amalganated Sailors
and Firemen's Union of Great Britain
and Ireland was organized in 1890 Mr..
Plimsoll accepted the presidency of the
union, but afterward retired.

by the Government only in sufficient guam
tity to meet the demands of business and
give full opportunity for the employment
of labor and to be full legal tender for all
debts, public and private" The minority
report added the words: "That the Gov
eminent should not discriminate in
favor of gold as against silver, and that
it's minis should be open upon equal terms
to both at the ratio now established by
law"
After a heated discussion, in which
about 100 delegates participated, the mi
nority report was finally adopted by a
vote of 212 to 169. DR.. Evans, of He'd

Potatoes That Inebriate.

MANAwA, Wis: r. j. Matthias, with
whom it is understood are associated
other local men, is back of a scheme by
which the surplus potato crop, now sell
ing at 5 cents a bushel, can be turned to
account. These men have purchased the
necessary machinery and have begun
work on a large whisky distillery, which
will be located half a mile east Of town,
and will be devoted exclusively to the
distillation of potato whisky. Little OF
the s'poteen,'' as the Irish call it, has ever
been made in this country, although it is
preferred to grain whisky. A large
quantity is imported, paying a heavy duty.
The plant that is being put up will cost
IN the neighborhood of $4,000, and is ex-
.pected to be ready for active operation by
June l. 1t will be so arranged that dur
ing the summer, when potatoes are not in
a condition for use. grain can be used.

Buncoes Congressman.

WASHINGTON: The receat fsrobbery"
of Senator Quay's committee Toom and
other excuses committed in the Capitol
building have put the force Of Capitol po-
lice on their mettle.
The latest confidence game that has
been worked off on unsuspectible Sena-
tors and Representatives came to light
lately. The operator was a plausible young
female, attired in widows weeds, who
represented herself as the relict of a Gu
ban Epatriot who was killed in actin
lately under Gomez.
The woman was young and pretty al d
speaks with just the slightest foreign az
cent, which gives color of truth to her sal
story. She is also backed up by several
forged letters from Cuban leaders in this
country. She claims that her husband
was a prosperous cigar dealer in New
York up to the commencement of the
wal with Spain. Being filled with patriot
ism, he gave up his business and his fam
lily to serve Cuba, until a Spanish bullet
ended his career.
The woman can shed tears at will, and
the sad tale she has been relating to GER
tain Senators has, it is said, resulted in a
harvest of coin. She is crafty enough to
pick out as her prey only those members
who have publicly expressed their SYM
pathy with the Cuban cause, and has
rarely failed to secure a donation.
Her latest contributor was a New York
member. He gave her $40 and then in
vestigated her case. He found that he
had been victimized by a female sharper.
1t is understood that he learned that the
Cuban "widow" was none other than
Kate Gray, a we'll known Philadelphia
