USED A PISTOL.
Italian Fired a eu,Iet al a Pol ceman
Who Chased Him.
Finally Rounded Up and Placed in a Cell al
the Second Station.

The combination Of an Italian full of
beer and other intoxicants and load
ed revolver, always an undesirable
mixture, caused some excitement on
Eagle Park street last night. and that
the affair dIJ not md seriously is due
more TO the lack of steadiness on the
part of the Italian than to amy other
cause. The Itali. n WHO is known as Jo-
seph Ross was placed under arrest by
P..trolman Harmon on the charge Of
drunkenness. but he objected TO being
made a prisoner.
Ross Is a big. powerful man and he
broke away from the officer and ran
towards the woods near Eagle Park

a Sharp Trick.

Senator Clark seems to have outwit-
ted his prosecutors. The committee
on elections reported that inasmuch as
it was apparent that he had bought his
seat, he was not entitled to hold it.
The Governor Of Montana, who is anti
Clark, being absent for a fortnight,
and the Lieutenant Governor, acting
as governor, being a strong friend Of
Clark, the Senator resigned, while sena.
to7ial proceedings against him were
pending. This left Montana without
senator and necessarily the proceed
ings against Mr.. Clark are at an eud.
Under the constitution, it is the duty
Of the governor to appoint senators to
I'll out unexpired terms. Acting GOV,
ernor Spriggs appointed Mr.. Clark and
he accepted. This brings on compl!!'
Gated situation Clearly the proceed
ings instituted against Clark 10 the be-
ginning must be dropped. The ques'
tion Of his holding his seat turns on
the point whether the acting governor
had authority to appoint successor to
6ll a vacancy caused by resignation:
That is the problem the Senate vii!
wrestle over.

MURDER:ON sHIPBoARD.
One Han Starts Out to Kill'E7ery One
On g Steamer.

A dispatch from koping, STeden,
reports that as the steamer Kaping last
night was passing the Prinz Carl q
man sprung upon the deck Of the latter
vessel and shouted: IF any one comes
near I will shoot" at the same moment
woman was seen hanging over the
ships side shrieking for help. The man
escaped in boat. When the Prinz
Carl was boarded it was found that II
men on board had been shot, six uf
whom, including the captain, were
dead. The rest were found locked in
their quarters. One Of the wounded
has since died. The marderer is being
pursued. The wounded say they were
playing cards IN the smoking room
about half past IL with other men when
somebody put his head in the room and
exclaimed: ''Look out, there's mas
sacre on board"
Atthe same moment shots were heard
and all sprsng to their feet in order to
leave the cabin; but they found the
door fastened on the outside. While
they were trying to force the door a
shot was fred through the window and
hit one of them, man named Karlson,
who fell to the floor. The other three,
Schneider, Konditor and Lindquist bust
the door. Lindquist, who was the first
to step through, received a bullet in his
head, Disregarding the wound, he ran
after the assassin to the steering room.
The fugitive shouted down the speaking
tube: Full speed ahead" Then en-
gines we're already at full speed, and
the engineer replied: SIS that the cap
tain?' receiving the answer, Certain
ly. Drive her to the devil"
The engineer put the engines at full
speed estern. The assassin then ran
down to the engine room and threaten
ed to shoot the engineer if he did obey.
The engineer bsrricaded himself in the
room. At that moment the Koping
came along and the murderer fed in a
boat. Further details from Kopipg
show that the man suddenly started
shutting all the doors of the cabins and
saloons and the man with a revolver in
either hand and With a dagger and a
knife in his belt, he began firing at
every one he encountered. he stabbed
the captain in the back and a lady pas
senger in the breast with the dagger
and hacked a boy with the knife.
He also shot the mate through gh the
shoulder, rand Of four gentlemen who
were playing cards in the smoaklng
room, one was shot in the temple be-
cause he moved when the murderer
warned him not to stir. The Prinz
Carl was stopped at Koping and the mur-
derer seized the opportunity to jump
into life boat and row away as fast as
possible. Search of the steamer dis
covered seven dead and five wounded.
The Prinz Carl proceeded to Stockholm
where the police officials took charge
Of the victims. The trsdesmen Of
Arboga, Sweden, report that man CIV
ing the name Of Gronkirst, Of Stock
holm, yesterday secured two revolvers
which he fred several times to test
their qualities.

Cupid Enjoined.

A dispatch from Milwaukee says the
wedding of Henry Monson, Jr., and
Minna Olson, which was to take place
Thursday, was stopped by an iDjunc-
ton issued Wednesday afternoon by
Judge Pereles, of the probate court.
The injunction was issued at the re-
quest OF the father Of the prospective
bridegroom, who aso asks for the ap-
pointment Of guardian 70, the son,
who is forty years Of age. The father
charges that his son is iocoupesent to
manage his affairs aud says he is about
to marry widow with four small chill
dren. A marriage certificate has been
secured aud the marriage has been set
fer May l6. Judge Pereles granted 8
temporary Injunction. and ordered that
the ceremony be deferred uatil after
the argument on June 5, The judge
said that before he would graot q per-

MURDERED A FILIPINO.
Captain Of q Monitor Shot Him From
the Deck.

a court Of inquiry has been ordered
to meet in Washington May 81, COM
posed Of Admirals Rogers, Cotton and
Terry to investigate the circumstances
attending the shooting By Capt. Nc
Gowan Of a Filipino on the United
States monitor Monadnock in the har-
Dor Of Cebu on Nov. 2lst, 1899, and
also the alleged failure of the captain
to report the matter to the commander.
in-chief Of the Asiatic squadron.
The facts in the case as they are re.
ported to the navy department that the
officer was on the deck of his ship at
the noon hour when the regular officer
of the deck vas at dinner below. Ro-
veriog about was a native boat which
had been warned away before only to
return. 1t was not conceived that the
Monadnock was endangered by the
presence of such little craft, but the
commanding officer had been having
much trouble in preventing the natives
from smuggling rum aboard to the sail
ors and had given orders thst no un-
authorized native boats should be per-
mit.ed to approach the Monadnock.
So when this particular craft failed to
make off as required, the captain MIN
self taking revolver sought to frighten
the crew by firing a shot across the
bow. Unfortunately the shot, striking
the water was DETECTED SO as to pass
through the body Of one of the Fllipi:
nos. The wounded man was hauled
aboard the Monadnock, and after being
given 6rst-class aid was shipped OF to
shore hospital where he died IN the
course Of day or so.
This incident 1as referred to in the
press reports from Manila and after
waiting reasonable period Of time to
be informed the navy department made
INQUIRY of Admiral Watson to learn the
facts. The admiral responded that the
matter had not been reported to him
and this omission on the part Of Capt
McGoEsn is one Of the matters into
which the court is to inquire, the other
being the propriety Of the action Of the
commanding officer Of the Monsdnock
in taking into his own hands the exc
eution Of an order to FIRE instead Of call
ing upon a marine OF sailor to do SO.

a Negro Riot.

Eighteen drunken negro railroad
hands and timber cutters went to the
little village of Four Oaks, n. e.,
Thursday, threatening to kill every
white man. They were armed. The
crowd commenced to curse and raise a
disturbance. The town policeman at
tempted to arrest negro for disorder
ly conduct, whereupon the negroes
mobbed the policeman, who was named
Sanderlin, and beat him iDsensiole.
His face was badly disfgured and he
was bloody from head to foot. Some
white men attempted to aid the police
man, but were knocked down or shot
at. Much mischief would have been
done by the negroes, who we're al
drunk, but for the action Of the white
merchants and railroad employees OF
the town. Several negroes were wound
ed, but not fatally, and several white
men injured.
