it is believed the law will be allowed to
take its course.
The Alleys are prominent and both are
neDhews of Captain H. J. Alley of this
CITY Andrew leaves widow and two
children.
The trouble. it appears, arose over a
note that Kindred owed the Alley boys,
and which was long past due. Several
unsuccessful attempts had been made to
collect the note. and. as a last resort,
suit was brought. Kindred, drunk, and
with a revolver strapped about him, en-
tered the store of the Alley boys. saying
that he had come TO settle the difficulty.
Some words We're passed and Kindred
was ordered to leave the store. which he
started TO do. but turned and fired shot
1T Joe Alley which took effect in the
abdomen.
He then turned toward Andrew Alley.
who had his back to him. and fired two
shot. one striking him IN the back and
the other in the neck. Andrew died about
an hour later and Joe cannot live. Kin

caught by the falling timbers and had
his side crushed in.
As the north end OF the balcony COM
menccd TO fall. the musicians became
panic stricken and. Selling their instru-

dancers followed. Several police officers
stationed at the door threw it shut and
held il against the panic stricken dane

on the narrow stairway.

SCARED BY HORIZONS.
Six Elders Create a Great Panic at
Baltimore

Baltimore American: The women of
a number of the churches in Balti-
more have received with something of
/ alarm the news of the presence Of six
/ Mormon missionaries in this city, as
reported in The American several
weeks ago, and their efforts to estab-
I lish a church of the Latter-day Saints
in this cOmmuait--.
The Women's Home Missionary So
ciety of the Presbytery of Baltimore,
have taken the matter in hand. and
are arranging for an anti-Mormon
meeting to be held in the Boundary
Avenue Presbyterian church, next
Monday evening, when Rev. Mr.. Camp
bell. of Utah. will deliver an address
on "Mormonism and Its Growth in
the East
The following memorial was sent to
the Ministerial Union. at the quarterly
meeting yesterday in St Johns In
dependent Methodist church, on North
Liberty street, and was read by Rev.
Frank L. Williams, the pastor of the
Boundary Avenue Presbyterian
church:
Doubtless you all know that six
Mormon missionaries are now at work
in Baltimore, endeavoring to make
converts and to establish church of
the Latter-day Saints. In view of this
fact, the Women's Home Missionary
society of the Baltimore Presbytery
has resolved to hold a public meeting
on Feb. at s o'clock in the evening,
in Boundary avenue church. and has
secured as preacher, Rev. Mr.. Camp
bell of Utah. who is now speaking on
Mormonisrn in the churches of the New
York Presbytery. We appeal to you,
as watchmen on the walls of Zion, for
whose warning cry our people listen in
every time of danger, to aid us in
arousing public sentiment against the
evil in our land, lest the daughters of
the people be carried away captive and
their blood be required at our hand.

Chicago, Feb. 6.-The Tribune's
Washington special says:
Premier Sagasta has declined the
third offer of friendly mediation on the
part of the United States. This infor-
maticn was conveyed in a cipher mes
sage received from Minister Woodford
by President Mckinley on Friday.
The message was most unusual one,
Instead of being addressed to the Sec
rotary Of state. it was addressed to the
president, a thing that has not hap
pened since Consul General Lees IA
nous cablegrams to President Cleve-
land of nearly a year ago.
This cablegram from WoOdford was
not long. but recited the fact that Pre-
m.er Sagasta refused to admit that
Spain had reached the end OF her rope
in Cuba: that she was unable to sup
press the insurgents: that autonomy
was a failure; or that she needed the
assistance of the United States in
bringing the Cuban struggle to an end.

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-02-07

Washington, Feb. ct is probable
that the programme of the house
which has been confined almost exclus-
lively this session to the consideration
of appropriation bills. will be varied
this week with the consideration of a
contested election case.
1t is the purpose of the house leaders
to keep the house appropriation bills
to the front. in order TO obtain a final
early adjournment, or, as the alterna-
( tive. throw the responsibility for delay
on the senate. But after the fortifica-
/ tons bill is disposed of, only one other
! appropriation bill is on the calendar
for the present, the military academy,
and it should not consume more than a
few hours.
ALDRICH VS.. PLOWMAN.
1t is the intention of the leaders,
therefore, to fill the hiatus this week
with the consideration of the Aldrich-
Plowman contested election case from
the Fourth Alabama. The elections
committee is divided on this case on
party lines. and the indications are,
therefore, that the house will do the
same, and MIR. Plowman will be I'M
seated.
The members on both sides of the
house have been using the latitude al
lowed in debate on appropriation bills
to make campaign speeches to be used
more or less extensively in the impend-
ing congressional campaign this fall,
and these are likely to continue indefi-
nitely.
POLITICAL CAPITAL.
All the members are keenly alive to
opportunities to make political capital
them nT- moi ma Y-fN
fact may at any time upset pre-ar-
ranged programmes by plunging the
house into rancOrous and acrimonious
political discussion. The Democrats
and PopulistS seem to be directing
their assaults principally against the
Republican claim that prosperity has
returned TO the country, so that all evil
.dence on this point. pro or con, is likely
TO ind its way, sooner or later, into
the Congressional Record, FOR distribu-
ton this fall.
SENATE PROGRAMME.
The attention of the senate this week
will in all probability be divided be-
tween the Hawaiian annexation treaty,
appropriation bills and the right of
Hon. w. c. Corbett to a seat in the
senate from Oregon. The treaty will
probably occupy the greater share of
attention Monday. but after that the
committee on appropriations will claim
the time of the senate from the Indian
appropriation bill, which it is expected
will be reported early in the week. This
bill will provoke considerable debate,
and by the time it is disposed of the
committee on appropriations hope to
have the Notifications bill before the
senate. Senator Hoar will at the same
time press the COrbett matter upon the
of the senate as a matter of
the highest privilege. and several
speeches will be made upon 1t. 1t does
not appear probable. however. that a
vote will be reached during the week /
on the COrbett resolution

Albany, Ind, Feb. Ga furious fire

Speicher business block and ragged for
two hours and half. An appeal to

and one-half of the stock was stolen.
