KILLS THREE AND SELF.
John Lehman Brooded Over the
Idea that His Family Might
StarVe.

Chicago, Ill, April 15.-While brooding
over the idea that his family would suffer
from want, John Lehman last evening
shot and killed his three children during
the absence of the mother. After COM
hitting the terrible deed, Lehman at
tempted to end his own life by hanging,
but failing in this, he turned the revolver
upon himself and sent a bullet through
his heart, killing himself instantly.
The names of the dead are:
JOHN LEHMAN. SO years old.
CLARA LEHMAN, 5 years.
BERTHA LEHMAN. years.
AN INFANT, 4 months old, not yet named.
For eight years Lehman had been in
the employ of the West Chicago Street
Railway company, and, during the great
err part Of that time had been a driver
on the Center avenue line. Lehman
had saved up $500. The money was
deposited in one of the city banks. The
family lived comfortably and wanted for
nothing Notwithstanding the fact,
Lehman worried great deal. He had a
fear that some day his savings would be
swept away and his family would be-
come dependent upon charity. The mala-
dy gradually grew worse and of late
when at home he talked of nothing else.

MORTON MAKES A THREAT
If Coal Trust Bills Are Not Recalled
by the Assembly, He will
Veto Them.

Albany, N. Y, April 15.-Gov. Morton
today asked Assemblyman Robbins to
withdraw the coal trust bills. which
passed last week, giving the attorney
general the right to prosecute all trusts.
The governor gave as his reason for
making the request that he had not time
to examine them and he would like to
make them thirty-day bills.
Mr.. Robbins returned answer that I'M
der no circumstances would be jeopar-
die dis the bills by bringing them back.
1.-THE coal trust lawyers and lobby are
still here" said Mr.. Robbins, ''and 1
don't propose to run any risk. The bills
are plain enough and can be handled in
ten days"
When Gov. Morton received Mr.. Rob
bins reply he sent back another message
saying that if the bills were not with
drawn as requested he would veto them
without any delay. He did not believe,
he said, that they would be put in any
jeopardy by recalling them.

LETTERS ABOUT CUBA.
President Cleveland Complies.Wi
the Request Made by
the Senate.

Washington, D. c., April 15.-The
President today transmitted to Congress
without comment the correspondence
called for by the Senate at the instance
Of Senator Hoar relative to the attempt
at mediation made by the United States
government during the course of the pre-
ceding rebellion in Cuba. The CORE
spondence covers the period from Noyem-
Der 5, 1875, to August, 1876, and COM
prises about 400 typewriter pages. A
great part of it has already been made
public, some of it in Wharton's digest
Of international law and some in CORE
spondence formerly supplied to Congress.
The leading feature is the letter Of
Secretary Fish to United States Min
lister Caleb Gushing at Madrid in 1879
setting out at great length the evils OF
the situation as it then existed in Cuba
and suggesting reforms that the Span
ish government should put into opera
ton in Cuba to correct these abuses.
Copies of this note were submitted to
all of the courts of Europe, apparently
to pave the way for the interv ntion that
was limited az in case Spain failed to
profit by the suggestions of Mr.. Fish.
but the concluding chapters of the cor
respondence show, as is well k own now,
that the efforts to intervene came to
naught and that the recognition of the
belligerency of the insurgents was held
up by our government.

CREATED A PANIC.
Body of Water Breaks Through an
Embankment at Ishpeming-
Houses Flooded.

Ishpeming, Mich, April 15.-[Special.]
About fifty feet of water in large
pond broke through the embankment of
the South Shore tracks at Cleveland,
located near here, last night, and Gre
ated quite panic among the families
residing in the swamp below. The wat
er raised to a height of ten feet within
five minutes after the flood started.
Many people left their houses in great
fright while others ran to the upper
floors of the buildings. The water final.
ly found on outlet in the Cleveland
Cliffs companies sawmill mine This
was completely filled in ten minutes aft
er the dam gave way.
The damage to residence properties and
mine is not less than $4,000. Officials
of the South Shore company are on the
grounds today obtaining an estimate of
the damages. 1t is claimed the culvert
underneath the tracks was not in condi-
ton to take care of the water.
