An Unknown Tramp Shot to Death for
an Attempted Assault


Chicago, Aug. 10.-Shortly after noon
to-day an unknown man attempted to
assault Mrs. Pauline Fenske, the wife of
German farmer living in Schiller Park,
suburb of Chicago, and was shot to
death by the enraged husband and posse
of farmers.
EsAfter dinner, Mr.. Fenske left his home
and went to farm about two miles dis
tant. Soon after he left. II strange man
walked into the house aud asked Mrs.
Fenske for something to eat. He was
Roughly dressed and had paint stains on
his clothes and presumal iy was tramp
painter. Seeing Mrs. Fenske aud her
four little children were alone, the tramp
seized the woman, striking her over the
hpad with the butt OF his revolver. The
terrified children fed from the house and
alarmed the neighbors. a posse of farm
ers, headed by Mr.. Fcnske, with weapons,
hurried back just in time TO see Mrs.
Fenske's assailant emerging from the
house. Then began IL chase amid fusi-
lade of shots on both sides that led
through corn fields and woods, lasting
half an hour. just as the tramp was 60
ing through another corn field he was
shot in the back and fell, but opened his
two revolvers at his pursuers az he lay
on the ground. The crowd surrounded
him, and literally riddled him with bull
let's. No papers were found ON his BIO ly
to indicate Who he was.
Mrs. Fenske, being muscular woman,
was almost n match for her essailant.
and received but n few bruises in the
struggle.

j. III. Carpenter, founder of the Car
penter Steel Works, at Reading, Pa.
claims that steel .armor plate can be fur
nished to the Government at $3.50 per ton
and still leave profit to the maker of
500. AS this is so much below the $500
per ton fixed by armor plate makers the
Government will look into his plan and
If feasible give him the contract or build
plant. This will be heavy blow at
the big steel making firms who have been
reaping enormous profits at the expense
of the Government; but..as it is genela ally
understood that everybody has right to
gouge Uncle Sam it is not probable that
much of II stir will be made about it.

SEVERE ON SENATOR DANIEL.

Inc Richmond Times prints the fol-
lowing:
Editor of The Times: Is it possible that
the State of Virginia has a Tillman in
the person of John w. Daniel. 1t Ger.
tainly looks like it. If the newspapers
report it correctly, the COMMITTEES on the
platform, in the recent convention at
Roanoke, reported in favor sof primaries
for the selection of United States Sena-
tor, and Mr. Daniel in II speech opposed
1t, causing the convention to vote il
down. In his remarks the Senator said,
If correctly reported: "My distinguished
colleague has as much right to his seat
as mentioning the gentleman advocating
the resoluJion) has to his.' To me this
seems little ambiguous. Did he mean
that his distinguished colleague had II
right to the seat he is now holding in the
Senate, or the right to hold it for flu
ture term by the same methods by which
he gained his present seat. BY the way,
what makes his colleague distinguished?
Now with regard to Mr.. Daniel, voice
the sentiments of nearly all the Virgin
ians with whom I meet, when say that
the State of Virginia has honored him
beyond measure. Mr.. Daniel, give him a
little time, can make very pretty, hut
never logical speech, but he is deficient
in sound and statesmanlike qualities. He

cacy of the McCulloch settlement of the
State debt, which was manifestly an I'M
just one. In 1892 he said it was An I'M
Democratic and unjust to vote the State
rs unit for Cleveland in the convention
when there was n respectable minority in
favor of Hill. In 1896 he considered it
both Democratic and just to vote the State
as n unit in favor of free silver when
there was very respectable minority OPP
posed to it, and he had his way in both
cases He opposed the arhitrat,o treaty
as he has opposed much that would re-
dound to the benefit of his State and
country. Now, to cap the climax, he OPP
poses giving permission to the people of
Virginia to express their preference for q
Senator. He is fast becoming the Tllman
of Virginia.
Let the people of Virginia look Mt
Maryland North and South Carolina, and
think and know that John W. Daniel
will soon have them in worse situation
than either of those States is in. God
save the mark.
