Il MURDEROUs ASSA ULT.
A Young Swede Nearly Kills Farmer
Lyon.

LyOns
Bridgeport, April 1.-THE details Of
murderous assault by a young Swede
name Peter Carlson upon an aged farm
er in Easton reached this city tonight.
Carlson, who was employed by Ham
ford Lyon, went suddenly insane to-
day, and while the other members of
the family were at church nearly mur-
dered the old man.
The Swede was discovered in hid-
Ing in barn, and after violent
struggle was arrested and brought to
this city by Constable Tucker. When
found Carlson fought like demon and
it was only after he had been bound
with ropes from head to heel that the
ten miles drive to this city could be be-
gun.
Constable Tucker which reached hers
at o'clock tonight with the prisoner
tells the story as follows:
1.-THE Swede had been employed by
Farmer Lyon but a short time, This
afternoon Lyons son and the latter'S
wife went to church, leaving their SON
with the grandfather. Upon their res
turn they found the child in the road
near the house crying and moaning out
that his grandfather had been killed.
"The old man was found on the floor
of the house in semi conscious state.
He managed, to tell them that he had
been attacked by PETER" who had be-:
come insane, and that his life had been
saved by two neighbors, who had heard
his cries for help. The weapon With
which the attack was made has not
been found
Farmer Lyon will probably recover
but his condition is serious. When the
Swede reached the police station here
he struggled violently, but he was final~
| ly locked up.

Senate.

Washington, April 1.-THE outlool5
for the week in the senate is so much
befogged by the situation that it is inn
possible to forecast the proceedings
with any degree of accuracy. There
is a possibility that this question may
consume great deal of attention, and
If it is not satisfactorily disposed of Ii
may be used to prevent effort to secure
action on important measures.
Aside from the matter of reorganiza-
ton there are four questions before the
senate. These are the Morgan Cuban
resolution, the bankruptcy bill, the
Anglo-American arbitration treaty and
the appropriation bills. Senator Davis,
relations, said to-day that he was
hopeful Of securing consideration for
the treaty some time during the week,
the only circumstance likely to prevent
being the continued abs nee of senators.
Senator Davis refuses to make any pre-
dictions as to the result of the final vote
or when that vote will be reached.
Senator Allison said when he present.
ed the report on the sundry civil appro-
priation bill to the senate that he would
call it up this week. Senator Pettigrew
who will have charge of the Indian bill,
has also stated that he hopes to take
up that bill. If the democrats do not
object on account of the Incomplete
condition of the committee both bills
probably will be acted upon during the
week.
Senator German is expected to make
a general attack upon the appropria-
tions bill during the tendency of these
measures.
Both Senators Hoar and Nelson ara
very anxious to press the bankruptcy
bill to a vote but it will give way before
any of the other measures mentioned. :

VIII Endeavor to Embarrass Republican

Will Endeavor to Embarrass Republican
HOuse-Work Before the Senate.
Washington, April 1.-THE house Will
continue its program Of three days adj
journments this week. Jerry Simpson
of Kansas will embarrass the majority
as much as possible by requiring a
quorum to approve the journal, but will
have little aid from the democrats if
the spirit of the resolution adopted by
the democratic caucus prevails. His
opportunities to harass the republicans
will be slight. 1t may be that owing to
the urgency of the case the leaders may
deem it advisable when the house meets
on Wednesday to take up the armor
plate question in some form.

The weather bureau predicts a fur

such extension.
The weather bureau publishes a map
of the country flooded on April 10, and

it is possible that much, if not all, of

by floods will be flooded again this

on the levees of northern Louisiana,
and it is hoped that they will be held

YALE Orders 4 NEW SHE'LL.
Davy Will Build It-Harvard Freshman
Crew Selected.

Cambridge, Mass, April I'm. f.
Davy, the boat builder, who has for
years built the racing boats of the
Harvard crew, has received his first or
der for Yale Varsity boat The boat
will be built on almost the identical
lines of the Harvard '94 crew boat
which Mr. Davy considers his best
model. The '94 crew boat is now owned
by the Millstream Boat club of Chelsea,
and is very fast.
The Millstreams have won four times
with it. 1t was on the same lines that
Mr.. Davy built the eight Dared scull in
which Wisconsin defeated the Yale
freshmen last year by ten lengths and
also on the same lines that he built the
eight cared shell for the Riverside Boat
nine out of ten races. The same model
was also used by the Wachusett Boat
club eight cared she'll The Wachu-
setts in their boat broke the amateur
junior eight cared shell record at Sara
toga, rowing the mile and half in
seven minutes, thirty-eight and one
half seconds.
Mr.. Davy says that the boat will
probably be SO feet in length, 2s inches
beam, 91a inches depth, 81 inches at
stern and inches at the bow, and will
weigh almost 225 pounds. Mr.. Davy
got his model from an English built
boat that was shipped over here in 10.
This latter boat was too fine for the
heavy Harvard crew, but for light
crew it was very speedy.
The boat will probably be ready for
shipment to New Haven in about six
weeks. Nothing has been said yet

"Gouisso, the accredited representa-

local managers are no doubt much to
blame it appears Ruch as though the
Metropolitan were the chief criminal
in The oper tiOn. TIE writer however

1t is that in the selection Of the receiver

had been put up to the Metropolitan to
secure its loans. 1t however had been
left here with local stock holder to
have handy when the notes we're TO be

that might have been. But we do not
mean anything said here to prejudice
any one against Mr.. Kinkel. People
are very mad who have lost money in
the banks, and are becoming very
angry at the frequent repetition Of It,
but it is doubtful IL they are not In
their anger doing themselves damage
instead Of benefit. There are times
when one feels what it is not best to
say. The GAZETTE has we believe said
more against the bank than any other
paper in the city and we have said all
that is necessary.

Ehe Elevator Fire.
be here at the next.

During the storm Friday evening
the elevator belonging to the Kansas
Grain Company situated about block
west of Main street on the south side
of the Santa Fe yards, was struck by
lightning and set on fire. Though the
fireman responded to the alarm with
out delay, by the time they arrived the
whole inside Of the upper part WAS
roaring mass of flames, and the pres
sure on the pipes was not sufficient 10
throw water where it was needed.
An elevator is about the hardest kind
Of building to fight fire in anyway,
and when it starts high up among the
bins, it IS almost an impossibility TO
stop it until they are burned out. By
that time the pressure had increased so
that the balance of the structure was
saved. The dump and engine house
with their machinery we're saved with
out damage. The masonry foundation
Of the building is not hurt. Some of
the burs, fans, ETC., are saved though
damaged. Only a small quantity Of
grain was stored there, little over a
car of corn and few bushels of oats.
The total loss is estimated by Mr..
Young. manager of the grain com
pany, at $500. The ms lance is suf-
icient to cover the loss and is so
placed that it is thought the full
amount can be collected.
