A CHICAGO HORROR.
NURpERoUs WORK OF A MAN IN a
DRUNKEN RAGE.
Shot Mt His Wife, Killed One Step
daughter and MOrtally Wounded
Another.

CHICAGO, June lin drunken
rage John Wolter made an unsuccess-
full attempt last night to kill his wife
He then shot and killed one step
daughter and wounded another so Sc
riously that her life is despaired of.
The tragedy took place at the Wolter
residence in Mclean avenue. The
household has been am unhappy one
ever since the marriage of Wolter to
Mrs. Rose Stocker, two years ago.
Mrs. Wolter is possessed of property,
valued at $1,000, left by her first hus-
band. 1t seems to have been Wolter' S
purpose to get control of the property.
Being unable to make any Roadway in
this direction, he became dissatisfied
and began drinking to excess and was
under the influence of liquor when he
committed the assault upon his wife
and step-children. Wolter had on pre-
vious occasions threatened to do vio-
lence to the members of his family.
When he stumbled into the house last
night the young mother and her
daughters became frightened and ran
out onto the back porch. From there
they went down the outer stairs to the
yeranda in the rear of the first fiat
In the meantime Wolter had locked the
doors of his own fiat He went out the
front way and around to the rear
where the trembling members of his
family were standing. Wolter paused a
moment and then he deliberately pulled
a revolver, pointed it at his wife and
fired. The bullet grazed Mrs Wolter
and struck little Mamie full in the face.
She fell where she had been standing.
The child had scarcely struck the
floor before the murderer had again
raised his weapon, this time pointed at
the eldest daughter. Before the second
report rang out the Mortified mother
had sprung upon her frantic husband.
She seized his arm just as the bullet
left the smoking pistol to bury itself in
the stomach of Jennie. She fell to the
floor. Not yet content with his muir
derous work, the crazed man leyeled the
weapon at his wife, but before he could
pull the trigger she struck down his
arm and the bullet went into the YER
anda. Neighbors then interfered and
held him until an officer arrived ON the
scene. Mamie died in the hospital at
an early hour this morning. Jennie had
not regained consciousness at midnight.
Then it was decided to make an at
tempt to locate the bullet, but it was
not expected the child would survive
the operation.

he did in a very able manner, but in

NEW YORK WHEAT.

New York, June 1.-THE wheat mar
ket struck a gain late this afternoon
that for rapidity of fluctuations and ex-
cited trading eclipsed anything seen in
recent years Enough wheat changed
hands in fifteen minutes to make a
good days business ordinarily. The
bearish government crop report inf1u-
enced the trade all day and the crowd
was heavily short when at o'clock
some one started report that the ex-
porters had bought 100000 bushels and
that the French crop had been badly
damaged by rain. The news spread like
wildfire. In a. trice the pit was turned
to bedlam, as the short crowd fought to
cover. Prices sailed UP cents a bushel
within a few minutes, followed by a
sudden reaction resulting in a cent loss
the whole movement of three cents TAX
ing place so quickly that it much re-
senllbled a cyclone which leaves it's
mark in an instant and is gone. The
close was very nervous. Total trans
actions for the day were 1915, 900
bushels.

VIRGINIA SOLID FOR SILVER.
The Vote at the Primaries the Smallest
in Years.

Richmond, Va, May 21.-The Demo
cratic primaries to-day resulted in the
election of 35 silver delegates and
Sc gold standard delegates. The for
mer had but so candidates, while the
latter had a full ticket. The vote was
the smallest in many years. Many
sound money men refrained from vot-
ing, but stod on the curb and explain
ed why they did not vote. The result
gives the silverites control of the Third
Congressional district, practically as
suring a solid silver delegation from
this State to the National convention.

meeting of the election of delegates to
Stuanton convention the Democrats of
