McLeid Bill, Permitting Municipal Ownership, Has Passed Michi-
 gan Legislature

Lansing, Mich. March 27.-The Me Leid bill permitting municipal owner ship of street railways for Detroit has passed the senate and will become a law when signed by the governor. as the house has already passed it. The bill. in brief, provides that the com mon council of Detroit may, at any time within twenty years, appoint a commission of three who may buy or lease any street railway in the city They may use the surplus earnings of roads, after their purchase or lease, to pay the bonds or improve the lines. and also may provide a sinking fund and pledge the earnings to pay present liens on the property. Power is also given them to hire employees and fix their compensation, and to contract for new equipment, etc 4 great deal of opposition to the bill has manifested itself in Detroit, so much, in fact, that, at the time of it's passage, a committee from Detroit was on It's way here to protest against the bill. Governor Pin gree announces that he will immedi- ately sign the bill

ARRESTED FOR OLD CRIME.
John and William Brown Il1inoisans Charged With a Murder in h.
 diana in 1888.

Mattoon, H., March 27.-John and William Brown, farmers. who have long lived near Humboldt. were today arrested by Sheriff Byers of Coles coun- ty on requisition papers presented by the sheriff of Green county. Indiana
 The brothers are charged with a murder committed at Bloomfield, Ind, eleven years ago. They went to Indi- ana in 1888 and, according to the charge against them, got into an alter cation with a Bloomfield resident, who was knocked down by one of the brothers, while the other kicked the prostrate man, breaking his neck and killing him.
 At that time they fled and their whereabouts were unknown, but three years ago they returned to their old farm, where they have since been living unmClsted. They will be taken back to Bloomfield to be tried for murder.

MISSION TO NoN-CATHoL1Cs.
The Passionists Enter the Field Here tofore Solely Occupied by
 the PaulistS.

New York, March 27.-Following the example set by the Paulist Fathers. the Passionist Fathers, whose monastery Is
 in West Hoboken, have entered the
 field of non-Catholic missions The first of these missions to be given by them opened in St. Raphaers church in West Fortieth street last Sunday night and continued through the week.
 The object of the mission is, of course, tc preach and explain Catholic doctrines to Protestants and non-be- lievers. with a view 10 converting them. The methods adopted by the Passionists are almost identical to those used by the PaulistS in similar work throughout the country. The Pas sionists are a religious order of priests of Italian origin, which was founded in the eighteenth century. To one Of this order, Father Dominick, $ attributed the conversion of Cardinal Newman
 The PassiOnists did not establish branch in the United States until 1852, but since then they have been most active in the missionary field. All their efforts in that line, however, have been confined heretofore to reviving the religious spirit among Catholics alone. Their entry into the non-C Cath ollie field is considered significant in view of the recent attempts by Euro pean theologians tC belittle the work of the Paulists in the eyes of the pope.

A YUMA KILLING.
Treasurer DeVane and John McVeigh Principals in a Fatal Shooting
 Affray.

The inhabitants of Yuma were thrown into a state of excitement this morning by the news that County Treasurer DeVane had killed a man in the cut near the Southern Pacific hotel
 Inquiry revealed the fact that the dead man was character by the name of John McVeigh, known as Mike '' It seems that McVeigh had attempted to outrage the little daughter of MT DeVane, ana, unable to quell his fatherly indignation, DeVane had shot the miserable wretch dead
 Three shots took effect, one of which caused almost instant death, being in the region of the heart. The second the third shot glanced off the lower portion of the ribs and broke the right arm. Four or five shots were fired.
 McVeigh had been around Yuma for three or four years and has lived at what is known as the quartermasters building, where he made a pretense of raising chickens. He bore an unsavOry reputation and is believed to have car ried on systematic system of thiev- cry. Articles of every description were found about his place, which are believed to have been stolen at diff ferent times. The government had some trouble with nm some tune ago and were preparing to forcibly eject him. Not much is known of the in dividual. It was ascertained that he was 51 years of age and native of Ireland
 After the shooting MT. DeVane handed his pistol to John Gandolfo, who happened to be near the scene of the shooting and later surrendered to the sheriff, but was not taken to jail and is yet at liberty.
 MT. DeVane was elected treasurer of Yuma county last November by an overwhelming majority, and is one of the most popular men in the county. He is of a quiet and unoffensive dispo- sitiCn and nun bers his friends by the

score, who say that he is the last man in the world to seek such an issue un- less justified by some horrible cir cumstance. It is generally believed that the coroner's jury, which is now in session, will hold that the killing of McVeigh was justifable.
 After the tragedy this morning Judge Thurlow summoned a jury consisting of the following gentlemen: George Miles, John Balz, D. B. Paxton, Richard Wilson, Martin Pool, V. Vest fall, Peter Hodge, o. H. Willis and Mulford Winsor, which jury is now in session.

PLAIN TALK TO THE DEMOCRATS

Shall it be twelve years until the

 and the party is rescued from it's present woeful plight? Are we to have another presidential campaign erected right across the nations highway in the vain hope of blocking it's inevi- table progress? And is this campaign the end of which may easily be fore seen, to be succeeded by another, until all living democrats are dead, and brand-new bottle, labeled 'Democ
 racy,' is brought out by a brandnew set of leaders calling themselves dem ocrats, but dispensing quite different sort of prescriptins than those dealt out with so much confiendence? It may be so. It will be so unless the democratic masses take matters into their own hands and call down the

BOLD BANDITS AT FORT SCOTT
I've Men Kidnap Policeman and Rob Hlm--They Then Hold Up Two Hotels

Fort Scott, Kan, Jan. 10.-Two of the most daring robberies ever perpe- trated here occurred Sunday night At Il o'clock Policeman Sones, whose beat is on East Wall street, near the Memphis depot, noticed two suspicious looking men and started toward them. As the officer approached them the men, who were masked. covered him with four revolvers and compelled him to march ahead of them for mile to the river bank. where they tied him to tree, after taking his gun and watch. After waiting about half an hour longer the robbers, about l2;30, went to the Cottage hotel, entered the office with drawn revolvers and com pelled the seven guests there to throw up their hands After taking from them their watches, revolvers and about Sl50 in money the robbers went across the street to Savers restaurant and compelled the two men there to give up Sl5. The en- tire police force turned out in search oi the men and at four o'clock this morn ing Chief of Police Allen and Officer Keddicls came lpon them as they were getting into an eastbound Katy train. A fnsillade of shots was exchanged, but the robbers escaped in the darkness.
