HE MURDERED HIS WIFE.
Wounded His Daughter and Tried
TO Xiii Himself.

Modesto, Cal, Dec. l4.--Gco. c. Green,
carpenter, fatally shot his wife and
wounded his daughter, Mrs. W. f. Lide-
man, with revolver yesterday. He then
turned the weapon on himself, but only
inflicted a scalp wound. His wife had left
him and applied for divorce on the
grounds of extreme cruelty and failure to
provide. The shooting was the sequel of
an unsuccessful attempt to induce her to
return to him. She was living with Mrs.
Lideman. This also angered the culprit,
who was at cuts with his son-in-law, and
this is supposed TO be his reason for shoot
ing his daughter.

STAMPEDE FROM DAWSON.
4 thousand Men Struggling Along
Through the Passes.

Victoria, b. c.. Dec. l5--By the steam
err Topeka from Dyea news is received
that more than 1000 i'll provisioned men
stampeded from Dawson during the lat
ter part of October, and, impelled by the
haunting fear of famine, are now mad
ly forcing their way over the mountains
AUX the Indian mail carrier who brings
this report, left the Yukon capital fully
10 days after the Dalton party. He says
that the vanguard of the terror-stricken
army is following less than week behind
him. AUX declares that fully Is per cent
of the stampeding army xii never live
to recite the terrors of tfeffesaight from
the north.
The river steamers Belle and Weare, it
now appears, did not land more than 100
tons of provisions on their arrival in DaW-
son in the early part of October, owing
to their having been held up at Circle
City
The only bright view of the present
situation is that the crossing of the pass
aove Dyea and Skaguay has lately been
greatly improved and within month will
be in excellent condition. Dyea parties
headed by George 7. Ulmer propose to 90
to the relief of the hungry at Dawson
City. They will make the United States
government an offer to deliver $4,000
pounds of provisions within so days after
the time of starting for Dawson for the
sum of $4,000. They already have $4,000
punds of provisions cached at Lake Ben
nett, which they took in over the Chill
koot pass this winter. Ulmer will go
south by the next steamer to lay the
proposition before the secretary of war
by wire.
It is stated that material for the pro
posed railroad over Taku pass has already
been shipped from the east.

This is the story Of n brave deed that
strong hearts feared to do; story OF a
mothers anguish changed to joy and
the saving of the life or little child.
1t al happened in this way;
Little Jimmy Dillon lives with his
parents al 81 Coy street, Armourdale,
While playing about the cistern yes
terday evening he fell into the water.
His cries for assistance brought large
crowd Of men and women. The mother
was almost frantic with grief ana
pleaded with the men to save the chlld.
The men stood around the cistern, but
when they looked into the black depths.
not even the sight of the cllild strug-
cling for IFS life moved them TO make
further efforts to save 1t than TO throw
ropes down 10 it. The child, however,
was TOO frightened 10 grasp the ropes
and sank the third time, while the
mother abandoned herself TO the Wild
est grief.
Then the hero came. His name IS
Jack Rambo and he was a passenger
ON n passing car. He saw the excited
crowd and swung off the car to see
what was the matter. He no sooner
took In the situation than without
moments hesitation he sprang INTO tue
cistern. 1t was exceedingly dlnicuiI
for him to dive, but he managed TO
reach the bottom Of the cistern ana
grasped the child, raising 1t to the sur
face. Then the brave men who stood
about threw ropes TO him ana he ana
the child were lifted out.
The best part Of the story OF TINS
brave man is that the child recovered
consciousness. despite the fact that IL
had sunk for fhe third time. The moth-
,r was almost overcome with JOY, when
had so suddenly supplanted grief. the

HANNA HAPPY.
The OhiOan Talks Like a Man WHO

Canton, o., Feb, 2S.-Many callers came
to Canton to-day to see the President
elect, but only one or two with whom he
had an appointment saw him. The doctor
still insists that Maj. Mckinley must not
see visitors, and those who come without
having been sent for are wasting time
and money.
Chairman Hanna chatted genially this
evening with the representatives of the
Southern Associated Press.
This is my last visit to Canton before
the Inauguration of Maj. Mckinley
expect 10 leave for Washington Friday
afternoon. find myself in a very agree
able situation, and one which two months
ago l never dreamed of. My understand
ing is that Mr.. Foraker will be the senior
senator from Ohio.
What do you expect to make your chief
work in Washington?' was asked.
LAS chairman of the national commit
tee, will have great many political mat
ters to look after. In congress, as am
business man. 1 expect to devote a good
deal of time to the consideration of the
tariff question. l think that | am pretty
well in touch with the commercial and
business interests of the country, and
think l know what these interests want
and have right to expect. All business
men anu all peTSOHS lHleT6SIeu III the re-
turn of prosperity agree, I take IL, that we
must have a revenue law that will produce
enough revenue to pay the current ex-
penses of the government, l want to see
such a law constructed on protective tar
iff lines passed at the earliest possible mo-
ment, and think a great majority of the
members of congress are of the same
mind.
Referring to the Kentucky situation Mr..
Hanna said: Gov. Bradley, who came
to see me day or two ago, told me that
he would appoint senator as soon as the
vacancy occurred. He will also call a
special session of the legislature
Speaking of the effect of Gov. Bushnelrs S
determination to appoint him to the Sem
ate, to succeed John Sherman, Mr.. Hanna
said: "The so-caled Ohio situation is
now perfectly clear, Peace reigns. The
party is strongly consolidated and in splen-
did condition to go into the campaign next
fall. There is no reason why a condition
of harmony and good feeling should not
prevail for years among the Ohio repub-
licans and firmly believe such will be
the case"

RATES STILL MAINTAINED.
Efforts 10 BE Made to Have the NOr-,
folk and Western Stop Cutting.


New York. Feb %. The presidents oe
the trunk line railroads met to-day with
the board of managers of the Joint Trafic
Association, to consider the cut in vest
bound rates by the Cumberland Gap dis
patch.
All the trunk lines were represented ex-
cept the Chesapeake and Ohio. NJ e..
Ingalls,, the president Of that road, tele-
graphed his inability to be present.
The representatives. of the other roads
voted unanimously In favor of the main
tenance of rates.
w. c. Bullitt, traffic manager Of the
Norfolk and Western, had previously
said that the joint traffic roads were cut
ting rates, but if they restored and main
tanned rates, his road would do likewise.
1t was expected that the Chesapeake and
Ohio would join with the other trunk
lines in giving assurance that schedule
rates would be strictly adhered 10,
whereupon the Norfolk and Western
would put its old rates in force after tho
ten-days notice to the interstate COM
merce commission required by law.
The second cut made by the Norfolk and
Western is fully confirmed, as we'll as the
statement that the reduction was disre-
garded by the Southern railway Also

MoNoNGAHELA RUNNING MAD.
River Traffic Suspended and Great
Apprehension Felt.

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 23.-The usually
placid Monongahela river is a raging tor
rent rushing onward with vast
quantities of wreckage and rubbish
upon it's surface. The landmarks of the
stream are completely obliterated by the
volume and rush of the angry waters and
the locations of several dams are only
traceable by eddles.
Throughout the Monongaheia valley
river traffic has been suspended and there
is general feeling of apprehension. The
rise was very rapid and in volume largely
in excess of the anticipations of the
weather bureau, whose reports predicted a
probability of fifteen feet OF water.
The food in the Monongahela marked y
feet to-day, and is expected to rise two
feet more. But little water however, is
coming out of the Allegheny river, so the
Monongahela flood is passing by with
cut doing serious damage here. ii has
done considerable mischief up the river to
factories located on the banks of the
Mcnongahela. Youghiogheny and Little
rivers All Of the railroads in that sec
tion are either wholly interrupted or are
working under great difficulties. At Me
Isl cesport the ficod damage will reach

JOHN ID. HART CONVICTED.
Application Made For a New Trial.
Bail Not Secured Yet.

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 29.-The jury in
the United States court before whom John
D. Hart was tried upon a charge of aiding
a Cuban fllibustering expedition on the
steamer Laurada this morning rendered a
verdict of guilty.
The case was given to the jury at 9:45
o'clock yesterday afternoon and at 615
o'clock last evening the jurors handed in
a sealed verdict and went to their homes.
1t is understood that but one ballot was
necessary to arrive at a conclusion.
When the verdict was announced, At
torneys w. w. Kerr and John f. Lewis
for Mr. Hart, made an application for a
new trial MIR. Lewis also asked that his
client be released on bail pending the ar
gument upon the application, which would
in the ordinary course be heard within
four days.
Late this afternoon the statement was
made by the convicted mans counsel that
Mr.. Hart had been released on $1,000 bail,
but this evening counsel admitted that
Nj. Hart had not succeeded in getting a
bondsman, and that he had been sent to
prison. 1t is thought bail will be obtain
ed tomorrow.

DUTIES ON FRUITS RAISED.
The Increase Granted AT the Request
of California Growers.


Washington, Feb. GA material in
crease in the rate of duty on certain trop-
ical fruits raised in this country was made
this morning by the republican members
of the ways and means committee. A
duty of 20 cents a cubic foot was placed on
oranges, lemons and lines, whether inn
ported in bulk or In packages. The pro-
vision in the Mckinley law as to barrels
or packages that contain those articles,
and which places the duty at 80 per cent.
ad Valorem, was restored, The present
duty on the foregoing articles Is eight
cents a cubic foot. In the Mckinley law,
it was less than II cents, inasmuch as
in packages, of capacity OF one and one
fourth cubic feet the duty was lS cents.
To-day's increase was made In compliance
with the appeals of the California fruit
producers, who claimed that the present
rate was ruinous and that the Mckinney
duty was not nearly sufficient
The committee were influenced by these
considerations, and, after careful in
vestigation, satisfied themselves that
while the new rate was practically pro-
hibitory, II would not increase the cost
of such fruits a quarter of cent in each
case, and that the retail price would re-
main practically unchanged at the same
time giving the American grower mo-
nopoly of the home market, The fruit
importing interests of New York and other
cities protested vigorously against any
material increase in the duty, their argu-
ment being that foreign fruits do not
compete to any extent with the Ameri-
can product inasmuch as they are placed
on sale at different season of the year.
