CROSSED OCEAN TO MURDER
AUSTRIAN SHOOTS HIS ALLEGED
F.IITHLESS WIFE, THEN SUICIDES

Woman VIII Probably Llve-Man's Name
Stonna Observation-Disclosures His Wife of
Infidelity-Spreads Terror In Hartford
Boarding House-Threatened Two Men
Whom He Suspected of Winning His
Wife's Afections-Came Direct From
Austria-None of the Persons Can Speak
English.
Hartford, Aug. 5.--An attempt at
murder and a suicide, the result of
jealousy, occurred on Potter street this
afternoon. The man who attempted
murder is dead and his victim, who
was married to him in Austria, lies at
the hospital dangerously wounded.
The mans name is Stonna Ronvenitz
and the woman, whom he claims as his
wife, is known as Mrs. Frank Donovitz
and kept boarding house for Austrian
laborers at No. so Potter street. The
street was disturbed by the mans pres
ence soon after noon to-day.
He came direct from New York, where
he had just arrived from Austria. He
had heard that the woman was living
with another man and when he arrived
at the boarding house he terrorized the
inmates by his curses anu his vows
that he would be revenged upon his
wife and her associates. He paid par
ticular attention in directing his ana
themas to two men whom he evidently
suspected above the others.
He followed them around in threat
ening manner and brandished a revol-
yer until the men cried for mercy, all
the while protesting that they were
guiltless of any injury to him. About
$3.50 o'clock Ronvenitz shot the woman
and then fired shot into his head.
His crime was committed in bedroom
on the ground floor of the tenement
house.
The Austrian was found lying be-
tween two beds. He had shot himself
through the left temple and was dead.
His wife's screams when she was at
tackled were heard all over the streets.
She, too, was shot in the temple. The
ambulance was called and she was
taken to the hospital
Here the bullet was extracted from
her head by DR.. j. 3. Hall and the
hospital authorities say she will re-
cover. The full details of the shooting
cannot be obtained, as all who have
any knowledge of it are Austrians and
cannot speak English

Washington, Aug. 5.-Chauncey r.

Gratis would have at least eight of the
congressional districts in the state after

Fifty fourth congress Both these gem
tlemen assert that the growth Of the
free silver sentiment is something un-
precedented, and all the mining sections
of the state will give a support to the
democratic ticket hitherto unheard of
in the history of the politics Of Penn
sylvania.
Representative Mercier Of the con-
gressional campaign committee to-day
said:
You would probably not believe IT,
unless you understood the populists OF
Nebraska as do, but the fact is that a
very vigorous fight is being Waged
against Mr.. Bryan by the populists on
the protection question alone. A great
many letters have reached here appeal
ing for protective tariff literature.
Many of these letters come from popu-
lists whom I know and they are all
opposing Bryan on account Of his free
trade proclivities. The people of Neb-
raska believe in protection, and be-
lieve that that issue will become doni-
nant before long. Every day sees the
silver craze growing less and less brill
liant in the west
A prominent democratic leader who
attended the Chicago convention told
an interesting story to-day illustrative
of the character Of Mr.. Bryan. On the

ton took a recess. At the afternoon

Call of Massachusetts, who Is visiting
Congressman Alden Smith, spoke brief
ly
Congressman Smith made hot

house, and his scoring of the St. Louis
silver boilers for refusing to pass the
Dingley bill was greeted with enthusi-
astic applause. Ex-senator Patton

prouder of the republican party than
he did in this campaign, because it has
stood for it's historic traditions.
A platform was adopted which de-
clares continued allegiance to the re-
publican party; endorses the platform
of the national republican convention,
and calls upon ali loyal citizens to
unite i'll it's support /; denounces the
democratic platform of Chicago; con-
graduates the party upon the emf

Fusionists Say They Will Not Support
Bryan Democratic Electors.

Bryan Democratic Electors.
Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 5.-Frank
Baltzell, secretary of the fusion cam
paign committee, has issued state
ment, which says:
"The election last Monday was char
acterized by frauds more widespread
than in any previous election. The
reports state that Dallas or some other
black belt county will send up the
usual majority, which means that
whatever majority may be needed from
the black belt counties will be sent up
next Saturday, when the vote shall be
canvassed. The populists are very
much exasperated on account of wrongs
practiced upon them and will not sup
port the Bryan democratic electors.
"They will put out the electoral tick
ct for Bryan and Watson; the demo-
Gratis can take down their ticket, vote
that ticket, or see 100000 votes practi-
cally lost. If this shall not be done the
populists will refuse to vote and let the
silver democrats work out their desti-
ny and repent Of their meanness. Self
respect, manhood and civil liberty are
dearer to some people than free silver
or any other political issue
Hon. A. T. Goodwin made brilliant
and effective campaign. He has been
elected by from 10000 to $4,000 majority
in the white counties and received 49,
900 votes in the black belt, but these
40 600 votes are counted for Johnston,
giving him majority of about 25,OOO.

Lincoln, Neb. Aug. 5.-Nebraska's
most important political campaign be-
gan to-day in Lincoln and political dis
cussion has waged fast and furious
here, despite the torrid heat Delegates
to the convention Of the state league
of republican clubs met here to-day
and held a lively session and in the
evening Hon. Roswell G.. Horr Of New
York. formerly Michigan congress-
man and we'll known political orator,
opened the campaign in behalf of the
republican national committee in a
speech at M. Street Park.
Mr. Bryan spent a quiet day. In the
evening he drove down to the railway
station and met Governor and Mrs.
Altgeldt, who passed through Lincoln
en- route to Glenwood Springs, Col. Mr.
Bryan and the governor had a talk over
campaign affairs.
Governor Altgeldt's only answer to a
question is to whether Mr.. Bryan had
said anything about appointing him at
torney general in the event Of demo-
cratic success was a smile.
Hon. r. P. Bland wired the nominee
to-day that he and Mrs. Bland would
meet Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan in Chicago
and accompany them to New York.
Mr.. Horr in his speech tonight paid
tribute to the protection policy. He
discussed the history of money and
painted a vivid picture of the financial
distress which he predicted would fol-
low the adoption of free coinage of
silver
He denounced the Chicago platform
and stated that the people of this ma

about who occupied the presidential

will say to your good townsman, Mr.
Bryan: 'Bub, don't attempt to fill that
chair. You are nice little boy. You
make nice little speeches, sonnie, but
the people of this country propose that
