VERDICT or SUICIDE RENDERED..
But II Is Believed That Nelson B. Clark,
fhe "Bark King" of Michigan,
Was Murdered

GRAND RAPIDS. MICH, May 16-It
was decided by the Coroner in Milwaukee
yesterday that Nelson B. Clark, the bark
king and president of the M Mlchigan Bark
and Lumber Company, the heaviest
operators in hemlock bark in the country.
who WAS found dead there on the street,
had committed suicide, but the indications
point to murder.
Clark left here Wednesday for Mil
waukee, and on Friday telegraphed he
would be home the next day. Instead of
coming home, news was received of his
death. When found he was fully dressed.
By his side was a revolver with six cham
bers empty. There was wound in the
breast near the heart and another in the
abdomen, and the clothing at both places
was slightly scorched. The lapel of the
coat was scorched and there was ragged
cut on the right hand. 1t is the theory Of
w. d. Sutton, who brought the body to
his home this morning. that a robber
demanded Clark's money at the point of a
revolver and that Clark struck the revolver
up, cutting his hand with the blow and
causing it 10 discharge. The theory is
sustained by the fact that only twenty
five cents was in his pockets, while it is
known he had $1O0 or sl25. Clark always
carried loaded revolver with him, and
this revolver was found in his .valise at
the hotel

Plans for the Ascent of Mount

An Expedition That Promises Great
Results From a Scientific
Point of View.

NEW YORK N. Y, May 16.-W. G.
Steele of Portland, Or, counsel for the
Mazamas Club, the famous company of
mountain climbers of that city, is here
perfectlng arrangements for the outing of
his mountain-clim bing club next July,
when it will ascend Mount Rainier in the
Cascade range, a. 525 feet high. The
Mazamas Club was organized July, 1894
on the summit of Mount Hood, sixty miles
east of Portland, when $50 persons met at
Steele's ranch OH the mountain side, three
miles from the line of perpetual snow.
After the formal organization of the club
its mem bers undertook an ascent, and of
the $50 who started $50 succeeded.
The following year, 1895, the club divided
into twelve separate parties. and each
assembled one Of the high peaks in the
chain of mountains from British Colum bia
to Mexico, and at the same moment sig
nailed with heliographs from one to the
other. On account of the rainy condition
of the weather, however, the experiment
in which the Government was deeply in
terested and for which it had furnished
instruments, was not wholly successful.
In speaking of the arrangements for the
clubs expedition this summer, Steele said:
'.I have como East to com plete the dc.
tails incident to our excursion the present
sum mer. which we hope to make more
noteworthy III the history of the club.
We shall have with US twelve scien tific
men from Washington, representing var-
Gus departments of the National Govern
ment. The Weather Bureau has sent in
struments to be used in flying kites from
the summit of Ranier and we have in
vited Gilbert T. Woglom of this city to fly
his kites for us and take aerial photo
graphs. We shall leave Portland July 10
and return August Z. We shall camp
fourteen days at Paradise Park at the line
OF perpetual snow. 1t will take three days
to make the ascent of the mountain. One
night we shall spend on the side of the
mountain, one in the crater and one in
camp. We shall take photographic 0bser-
vations and fly the American flag with
kites from the top of the mountain from
greater height than our National emblem
has ever flown before. With the hello
graphs we shall communicate with Port
land, Tacoma and Seattle. Altogether we
expect to make the expedition one of es-
pecial pleasure to the organization and Of
scientific value TO the world"
The Mazamas Club which takes its
name from the peculiar goat discovered

the north Pacific coast. Steele explained,

of whom are women. No one is admitted

DOUBLE TRAGEDY AT TACOMA.

TACOMA. WASH, May 16.-With a
merry laugh still echoing from his lips
John A. McCarty, railroad man. turned
and shot his wife through the head, kill
ing her instantly, and then killed himself.
The shooting occurred about noon to-day
on a street near St. Leo's Church and was
witnessed by 8 score of people.
The McCartys had of late been living in
Spokane, but for the last week the wife
was visiting her mother. Mrs. McAtee, in
this city. Mrs. McCarty and Mrs. McAtee
attended mass at ST. Leo's Church and were
returning in the direction of Mrs. Nc
AteeS home when they were Joined by
McCarty, who they did not know was in
the city. They walked on together for
several blocks, Mr.. and Mrs. McCarty ap-
pearing light-hearted and at peace with
each other. Suddenly McCarty stopped
and without word of warning placed
revolver close to his wife's ear and fred.
The bullet struck her in the temple and
she fell without a word. The mother,
with cry of anguish, threw herself upon
her daughters body.
McCarty swung around once or twice as
though dazed by what lie had done, and
then placed the revolver to his head AID
fred. His aim was unsteady and the bull
let went through his hat. On the second
attempt he sent bullet through his brain
and fell dead.
Mrs. McCarty and her husband were
married eight years ago in Tacoma. For
a long time McCarty was employed here
as a switchman on the Northern Pacific
Railroad, ana he afterward worked on the
Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern Railroad
at Seattle. About year ago he became
afflicted with lung trouble, and doctor
advised him to go to California. He went
to Los Angeles with his wife and TWO chill
dren, but his health did not improve and
he returned and went to Spokane, where
his brother, T. ]. McCarty, lived.
Here he was unable to obtain work, and
he grew Respondent taking 20 drink. His
appetite for liquor grew, and about two
weeks ago his wife angered him in her
efforts to nave him cease drinking. The
next day, however, both were sorry and
the trouble was patched up. 1t was with

Angels, closely guarded and his W ounds
were attended to by physicians.
The news of the cold blooded murder
soon spread over the mining town and
groups of miners ard citizens gathered on
every corner. Many were for lynching
,Arnett without further delay, while others
were for waiting to see whether the
wounds in his breast would prove fatal.
Late tonight it was reported by tele-
phone from Angels that the excitement
had in a measure abated. Arnett had a
strong guard about him to prevent a
Iynching. Sheriff Thorne of Calaveras
County had not yet arrived, but the Off
GERS guarding the murderer did not be-
lieVe at that hour that there was any
danger OF an i'm mediate outbreak. At one
time after the news of the killing became
known it seemed that nothing could save
Arnett from the infuriated men, but
those who were the most anxious to string
Arnett up were persuaded to wait for fur
ther developments.
The wounds of the murderer have been
examined and found to be less dangerous
than was at first thought He is liable to
survive and face the consequences of his
crime
1t is learned that the domestic life of
Arnett and mis- young wife was unhappy
from the day OF their marriage. About
two months ago she abandoned him and
went with her mother to jamestown, in
Tuolumne County. There she remained
until about ten days ago, when she re.
turned and had since been living with
Arnett. They had trouble a few nights
ago, though not of nature to indicate
that the quarrel would lead to murder.
The immediate cause of the hom icide was
Arnetts jealousy. He had short time
before fntimated to friends that the con-
duct of his wife was very unsatisfactory
and that she was too much in the COM
pany of other men.
There are still knots of angry citizens on
the streets, but it is not likely that they
will take any action before morning.

ST. JOHNS, N. f., May 16.-Two more
marine disasters have occurred ON the
south coast of Newfoundland within the
past thirty-six hours. Yesterday morn
ing in dense fog the French brigantine
Croisine, from Bayonne for st. Pierre,
went ashore near Samaline, twenty miles
from her destination. A. heavy sea was
running and her spars came tum bling to
the deck. breaking one mans arm and
seriously injuring two others. The waves
made Clean breaches over the vessel, car
rying away the bulwarks and deck gear
Thecrew had to lash themselves to the
mast stumps and poop to escape being
swept over.
After two hours they launched the boats.
Twenty seven men were crowded into
them. They were unable to take any pro-
visions owing to the vessel being filled
with water, and for whole day and nigh:
and until noon to-day they rowed and
drifted about the ocean, the fog being so
thick that nothing was visible. They
finally heard the St. Pierre whistle and
contrived to enter that port, worn out
soaked through and famished.
One boat was stove in when putting off
and only incessant baiiing kept her afoat.
Many OF the men were frost bitten.
Another wreck tccurred in tho fog this
morning at Cape Ray. The German
steamer Arcadia. grain laden from Mon
treal for England, crashed into shelving
rock. Her forehold was full of water and
her bottom probably pierced by jagged
rocks. Her fifty seamen and twenty FIVE
passengers crowded on the forecastie
while the boat slowly settled and four
strong swimmers essayed 10 reach shore
with lines. After some hours they sue
ceeded. A hawser was then attached and
all those aboard were rescued.

DEADWOOD, s. OAK, May 16.-Charles
Brown, whom a mob threatened to lynch
last night for the murder OF Mrs. Stone on
Saturday morning, has managed to secure
few days more life through the inter-
cession OF Colonel Stone, the husband of
the victim. Stone is no. certain of the
negro's guilt, as he thought his confession
war secured by playing upon his fear.
The 1000 people who surrounded the Jail
last night finally dispersed. declaring,
however, that they would lynch Brown
later if his guilt should be proven. The
negro now denies that he killed Mrs.

CALIENTE, CAL, May l6.-The latest
news from the Piute Indian war is that
there was but one Indian killed, he being
the Indian doctor and chief of the Piute
tribe. There are two tribes Of Indians
near here. One of them, composed of
Digger Indians, is lazy and slovenly. while
the Piutes are intelligent and industrious.
For several years past the Digger Ind ians
have doomed Indian Mike the Witch OF

1t seems that at last they caught him
off his guard, and it is thought he was
shot by four of the Diggers. They shot
him through the lett lung and head and
