AGED COUPLE MURDERED.

INDIANA, Pa, Dec 26.-Milton Neal and
his aged wife were shot to death by an I'M
known assassin at their home near Jack
sonville nine miles southwest of here. some
time during Christmas. Their bodies were
found at 0 O'Clock that night by their son
Harry. who was passing the house and
stopped to pay a Christmas call on his
parents. Neal was one of the most prom

ity in which he lived. Officers are to-day
securing the country for the murderer but
as yet he has not been apprehended When
young Neal tried to enter his parents

BOMB In "A SALOON.
Dynamite Breaks Up IA Domino Party
and Wounds One Man.

DALLAS, Tex, Dec. 26. - A dynamiter
threw bomb inte a Sss3een at Jackson and
Ervay- streets yesterday, intending, it is
supposed, to kill one or more men who
were playing dominoes at table located
close to large glass window next the side
walk. Instead, however, he missed the
domino party and mortally wounded
John Roazio, who was taking a glass of
beer at the counter a few feet away. The
fiend smashed the large window. pitched
a bomb into the saloon with the fuse burn
ing, and disappeared Some one gave a
yell of warning, and the domino players,
four in number, fled in an instant before the
bomb exploded. A fragment of the missile
struck RoaZio squareiy in the left half of
the face, carrying the entire cheek and jaw
away, tearing the eye from the socket and
fracturing the forehead over the eye. Sur
geons have succeeded in keeping life in the
victim, but he is unconscious, and the sur
geohs say he cannot live more than a few
hours at the longest. The floor, ceiling and
walls of the front end of the saloon and
much of the furniture and glass fixtures
were wrecked. There is no definite suspi-
cion of whom the bomb-thrOwer is. The
theory of the police is that he is some one
who had a grievance, real or imaginary,
against some Of the domino party or
against the saloon managers.

FARMERS THE GAMERS
HOW l.. 4. LETTER VIEWS HIS SONS
GIGANTIC DEAL IN WHEAT.
Evidence that the Young Man Has
Also Been Engineering a Corner In
Oats-A Surprise for shorts.

CHICAGO, Dec. 26. - Friday, which will
witness the close of the great Letter deal in
wheat on the Board of Trade, bids fair to
prove Il memorable day in the trade. No
great excitement is expected in the wheat
pit, but in oats a squeeze of shorts may oc-
cur.
THE wheat deal of my son has brought
to the farmers of the United States 10 or Is
cents more for their wheat than if he had
not gone into it, L. Il. Letter said to-day
in talking of the great battle between Joseph
Letter on the one side and the elevator COM
panies on the other. MY son has been the
benefactor of the agricultural industries of
the country to that extent The seller is now
debating the price of his product, not the
purchaser. Chicago makes the market price
of wheat, not Liverpool. And the local in
f1uences, which have been so long for con-
stantly lower prices, have ceased to control
Chicago markets."
The first purchases of wheat by Joseph
Letter were made in July last at ga cents
The price for real wheat, such as the farmer
sells, has been between 80 cents and 81 for
several days. This makes a total advance
since July of about 35 cents. Letter, sr,
gives to the ordinary course of the markets
credit for between 20 and 25 cents of the
rise. The remainder he attributes to the
substantial support given to prices by Letter,
jr during the last six months
1t is believed that Mr.. Letter has been
turning a trick in oats while everybody was
watching wheat For weeks the oats pit
has been practically deserted. Last week
there was a disagreeable surprise to the
men who had sold 6, 900 bushels of oats for
December delivery when they learned that
no oats. were being delivered Then they
awoke to the fact that in all the Chicago
elevators oats measured but $4,000 bushels
of the contract grades. 1t was Wednesday
when the discovery was made. The price
of December oats was then 203s cents On
Friday the market closed at 226s cents A
cents advance in oats is as good as or 5
cents in wheat. 1t is too late to rush in
supply to meet the calls which will be made
for the grain at the close of business on
Friday. Those who have not delivered the
grain according to contract will be called on
TO settle at the closing prices The situation
has all the elements of a squeeze

HOT WELLS In ARIZONA.
Many Residents Are Alarmed, Fearing
Volcanic UpheaVaI.

PHOENIX, A. r., Dec. 26.-The wells
along a defined line to the south and west
of Phoenix have within a week become pro-
ducers of hot water, and apprehension is
felt by many of the residents of the region
affected that they are about to see grand
volcanic upheavei. The line of the subter-
ranean heat wave follows the general di-
rection of the Sierra Estrella mountains, a
volcanic chain lying Immediately south of
the Gila river. Thence it appears to con-
tinue on in the direction of Harqua Hala
mountains, near which are Il number of
large and modern volcanic cones and hills
of drifted volcanic ash. Though no earth
quake shocks have been noted in southern
Arizona for years. it is the general belief
that hot springs have broken out at each of
the points affected, for the line of the phe-
nomenon passes two rivers. This view is
supported by the fact that at Aqua
Caliente. one hundred miles southwest. and
on Castle creek, sixty miles north, are i'm
mense springs of mineraiZed water, with
temperature of 130 degrees

LIKE MISS HERBERT.
Annie Virginia Wells Kills Herself
While Suffering with MeIanchOliR.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 26. The recent
tragic death of Miss Leila Herbert the
daughter of the ex-secretary of the navy, is
given as the reason for the suicide which
occurred to-day of Miss Annie Virginia
Wells, an accomplished young society
woman and daughter of Mr. Lewis S. Wells,
a well-known attorney The young woman
shot herself through the heart with her
brothers revolver, at the residence of her
father, 1911 street, northwest. Miss Wells
had met Miss Herbert a number of times and
was very much attached to her. She herself
had been confined to the house for four
months by illness, and this. combined with
the shock caused by the death of her friend
brought on melancholia, which resulted IN
suicide. The deed apparently entirely
unprecedented, and, coming Immediately
after the Christmas festivities in the house,
completely Frustrated her aged mother Miss
Wells was thirty-three years of age and very

TROLLEY CAR HELD UP.
Conductor Shot Dead for Refusing 10
Turn Over His Money.

NORRISTOWN, Pa, Dec. 26.-A trolley
car of the SchUvlkil Valley Traction Com
pany was held up by four highwaymen at
Swedeland, near here about 10 o'clock to-
night Conductor Charles Galloway, of
Norristown, refused to give up his money
and was shot dead Three shots were fired
at Motorman Matthias, but none took ef-
feet. After riting the body of the conduc-
tor of the money and a gold watch and
chain, the robbers escaped. There were fouA
women passengers in the car, but the high
waymen covered them with their weapons,
but made no attempt to rob them. The men
looked like tramps and escaped in the di-
rection of Philadelphia.
