KILLED IN A DENVER HOTEL.
Cleveland Man Of Family Shot by Disso
lutte Woman.

Cleveland Man OF Family Shot by DissO-
lutte Woman.
The following concerning a man who
was we'll known here during the early
seventies, is from q telegram to the Lin
coin Journal, under date Of Denver,
September 8.
Mr.. Lawrance was married here, and
visited here about two years ago:
OW. Fl. Lawrence of Cleveland, o., was
shot and probably mOrtally wounded in
a room at the Oxford hotel this after
noon by woman known here only
as Florence Richardson. The woman
then shot herself in the heart, dying al
most instantly. The couple had reSist-
cred at the Oxford hotel, about half an
hour before the tragedy occurred, as ii.
G. Rockwell and wife OF Greely, Colo.
The motive for the shooting is not
known.
In their trunk was an express receipt
in the name of Florence Montague.
She was about twenty four years of age,
and is said to have been very dissOlute
and addicted to morphine. 1t is known
that her mother lives in Minneapolis.
Mr.. Lawrence il brother of NJ. j.
Lawrence, president of the Ohio Farmer
Publishing company of Cleveland. o.
He is about fOrty-five years old and has
a wife and several children in Cleveland.
DENVER, Sept. 10-W. H. Lawrence
Of Cleveland, o., who was shot yesterday
by Florence Richardson, alias Florence
Montague, is still alive, but the physi-
clans in attendance upon him at st.
Luke's hospital regard his condition as
critical. The bullet penetrated his left
lung and inflicted other internal injuries.
1t appears before the woman shot him
he had refused to give her more money
and had told her that he was going to
leave her. 1t is understood that the
woman's mother is living in Albion, or
Alpena, Mich.-LincOln Journal.
1t appears from published state
ment purpOrting to come from NJ. II.
Lawrence of the Ohio Farmer, that w.
H. has not been connected with the
paper for four years; that he has large
income and is wealthy: that on account
Of i'll health, he has spent his summers
in Denver, his winters in Texas; that he
has wife and five children, who live in
Cleveland.

The future OF the United States is
bright with hope. Base every &c, OF
the nation upon the sure and solid foun-

are endeavoring to rise from conditions
OF oppression, ignorance and degradation
will look to this country for encourage
ment, for help, and for reciprocal CON-
mercial relations. Mutual benefit has
always been the rule of action animat-

enlarged opportunities, there is every

LONDON, Sept. l3.-Ths Paris corre-
spondent of the Times suggests that the
second Of the two cabinet councils held
Monday was called specially to avert the
immediate resignation of General Eur
linden, minister for war, who had re-
signed could not have accompanied NJ.
Faurs to the maneuvers. The CORE.
spondent understands that as NJ. Sarren,
minister Of justice. has consented to re-
consider the Dreyfus "dossier." Gen.
eral Zurlinden will postpone his resigna-
tion until he returns from the maneuv.
ers. The Paris correspondent of the
Daily News says: President Faure de-
clared that it would never do for him to
face the troops at the maneuvers if CON-
ing from a cabinet council which had
adopted revision.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 1S.-The fifty first
annual session Of the great council of
the Improved Order Of Red Men began
this morning. With one or two excep-
tions the entire list of representatives of
the body is here and all of the officers.
The entire representation Of the body is
1877. Reports Of the officers show an in
crease in the membership throughout
the United States last year Of over H.
600. The finances of the order, too, are
in flourishing condition. The books
show . credit of over $25O,OO0. The
question of excluding saloon men from
membership in the order will come up,
but in all likelihood will be killed. The
repeal of the laws of the order to enable
lodge rooms being held in the same
buildings as saloons urged by the New
York delegation seems likely not to
o4HTV.

San JUAN. Porto Rico. Sept. 1S.-The
two evacuation commissions held an
hours session yesterday and adjourned
untilt0day. The American COM
missi0ners made known their position
regarding the evacuation and transfer
Of the island. in accordance with their
instructions from Washington. These
instructions they decline to make pub
dc at present. as publicity might lead
20 embarrassment in negotiations; but
the Spanish commissioners did not dis
close their positions nor the nature of
their instructions. Manifestly, how
ever, willingness to secure as much ex-
pedition Is possible and our commits
sioners are satisfied with the way which
their demands have been informally re-
ceived. The adjournment gives the
Spaniards time to prepare their reply.
When that is concluded issues will be
joined and the situation became clear.
What effect. if any, the appearance of
yellow fever among the troops at Ponce
win have, is problematical. Should the
fever spread, it would doubtless induce
the American commissioners to hasten
evacuation to the utmost; but as yet
there is not the slightest reason to ex.
pect an epidemic.
General Brooke says two cases have
been reported to him and one death.
As soon as he learned of this he caused
all suspects to be isolated with q view
of preventing the spread of the infec-
ton. It is believed that the cases orig
mated in the Spanish prison at Siboney.
The report of hurricane at the island
of Barbados has delayed the sailing of
the Spanish warships for Spain. All
our ships at this station are safe in the
harbors. The monitors are at Guanica,
and the Cincinnati and New Orleans
are here.
Six naval cadets who were ON board
the Cincinnati are to be sent to Annap-
Oils by the Seneca, which sails ON Tues.
day with the signal corps men who are
to be mustered out. General Henry's
report made to General Brooke yester-
day ON the condition Of the troops ON
the south side of the island shows there
are 1868 sick out of q total 1900. the
highest percentage yet reported. Al
though the percentage of sick is high,
generally, q large proportion of the cases
are not serious and the death rate is
low.
