vote of p to 6. The vote
was reached a few minutes
before o'clock after almost five hours
discussion behind closed doors There
were no sensational incidents during the
entire time. The debate was confined ex-
clusively 10 a discussion Of the merits Of
the agreement and the policy of its provi-
sious.
The principal speech of the day was
made by Senator Teller, in opposition to
the treaty, and he was followed in rapid
succession by twelve or fifteen other Sen
ators, who spoke briefly either for or
against the motion to ratify. Teller ex-
pressed confidence that the resolution
would be adopted, and while he had no
purpose to prevent that result, he was
convinced that there are very few Sena-
tors who are really satisfied with the
treaty. With Great Britain in her pres
ent mood, he believes it would have been
possible to secure treaty which would
give entire satisfaction, and he sharply
criticised the State Department for fail
ing to do so. He took the position that
it would have been sufficient to abrogate
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and said that
England knew well enough that with
that result accomplished she could very
well trust the United States to maintain

West Superior, Wis, Sept. 6.
Matt Snyder, an employee of the

afternoon and survived the in

of q few bruises and the fact that
the fall stunned him and he be-

would follow his instructions.
She followed instructions and
went to Neba's office to open the
envelope in his presence accord
ing to the agreement, but Neba
was gone. His landlady said he
had not been seen for several
days. Then Mrs. Dixon became
suspicious and opened the enve-

and in it's stead a piece of a news
paper.
Neba is good looking, dressed
well and wore several medals, in

One hundred dollars reward for
his apprehension has been offer
ed by the police. Mrs. Dixon
denies the report that she was
swindled, but her daughter con-
frmed the story yesterday.

opposed to him, especially The

the common council last night in

appointment of F. E.. Noyes to

has served twelve years.
Mr.. Noyes was recognized as
invaluable to the library and de-

Ready for Mementoes.

Madison, Wis, Sept. II. At
a recent meeting of Fair
child post, G. A. r., Custodian
Ell. W. Rood of Memorial Hall, in
the capital, announced that the
department headquarters were
now established in the new
Memorial hall and ready to re-
ceive old army mementoes of
every description. Only a few
portraits of past department
commanders are on the walls at
present. Among these is that of
the first commander, General
James K. Proudfit. The local
commander hopes that those Of
General Lucius Fairchild and
General Henry Harnden will soon
adorn the walls of the Memorial
hall. A veteran comrade of this
post, Marcus FL. Ashley, pre-
sented the post with large por-
trait of himself when he was
color bearer of the post during
the time when the local organiza-
ton was in the zenith of it's power
in department and national en-
campments, particularly in Mil
waukee and Boston.

Officer is Assaulted.

Appleton, Wis, Sept. g.
Louis Wurl, sheriff of Outagamie
county, was assaulted in his
Office at the post Office building
yesterday afternoon about two
O'Clock and knocked senseless by
a blow on the head. The blow
was delivered from behind. 1t
is not known whether the assault
was for revenge or robbery.
Just before the assault he had
collected a Judgment of 500, but
had deposited the money before
going to his Office.
Sheriff Wurl was in pool OF
blood at 4 o'clock when a deputy
entered his Office. He has no
knowledge of who struck him,
having just unlocked the ofhce
door. He saw no one, and was
in the act of unlocking his desk
when the blow fell. His injuries
are not serious. His jewelry and a
small sum of money in his pocket
were untouched. There is at
present no clew to the mystery.

citment, proceeded to the sta
ton and was Mortified to dis
cover that his mother and Mrs.
Barney were the victims Of the
accident, was the identity
established.
Mr.. Barney had occasion this
week to attend court at Port
Washington, and his wife accom-
panied him for q visit to her
friend Mrs. Ramsey. At the
time of the accident, Congress-
man Barney was in the midst Of
a trial before Judge Dick and
when the news was broken to
him his grief was so great as to
almost PROSTATE and unnerve
him for the duties which then
confronted him, and bravely and
with supreme effort he conveyed
the sad news to his children at
West Bend.
1t was but a few months ago
that Mr.. and Mrs. Barney cele-
brated their silver wedding ami
versary at their pleasant home at
West Bend, which was one of the
social affairs of that place. Mrs.
Barney enjoyed an extended ac-
quaintance in different parts of
the state, and by her many wo-
womanly graces and generous
deeds of real kindness and SYM
pathy she endeared herself to
many.
Early yesterday afternoon
Mrs. Ramsey decided that she
and her guest would take plea
sure drive through the country
section, south of Port Washing
ton, and the road leading across
the railroad tracks was the most
delightful one for such a drive.
1t is said that but few days ago
Mrs. Ramsey stated to mem
bers of her family, after return
ing from similar drive, that
some terrible accident would oc-
cur at the crossing where she
yesterday lost her life. At that
point the railroad tracks mark a
sharp curve and it is impossible
to see any distance up or down
the track. There are no guards
or Waterman at this dangerous
crossing and consequently those
who drive over the tracks at that
point take a great chance. It is
of course not known whether
there was any signal from the
approaching train or not, but it
is presumed that the usual sig
nal must have been given, but
the women evidently heard and
saw no train and moment later
it was upon them and ground
their lives out. The bodies were
badly cut and bruised by the
locomotive, which threw them
some distance from the track.

survive the terrible plunge.
Snyder was at the top of the
mill and leaned from the window
when he.lost his balance in some
way and fell toward the ground.
When almost to the ground he
struck on the corrugated iron
roof of smaller building and
bounding off that went to the
ground. He is at ST. Mary's
hospital.

Omro Editors Anniversary.

Omro, Wis, Sept. 3.-P. M.
Wright, editor of the Omro Her
aid, celebrated the fiftieth ami
versary of his entry into the
newspaper business Saturday.
Mr.. Wright, in his leader, tells
of how, on Sept. 1, 1851, he
packed all his belongings in a
red cotton handkerchief and left
the farm in Fond du Lac county
on which he had spent his early
boyhood. He began as a print
er's devil in the Office of the Fond
du Lac Journal, then published
by Edward Beeson. He worked
there for six months in this posi-
ton and then was promoted.
At the expiration of his term
of apprenticeship he left Fond du
Lac and went out into the world,
and at the opening of the civil
war was in Memphis, Tenn, and
because of his sympathy with
the cause of the union found it
better to 60 north. He enlisted
in the army and served a year.
Mr.. Wright has been a Repub-
lican since the party was organ
lied in 1856. During his work in
the newspaper field he has seen
the country from the Atlantic TO
the Pacific and has seen service
as reporter and city editor on
metropolitan dailies.
Before the time of railroads in
this section Mr.. Wright carried
the mails from Fond du Lac to
Menasha by way Of Oshkosh,
making three trips a week.

WITH THE wREsTLERS.

Preliminary bouts of the Metropoli- tan association of the A. A. U. for the wrestling and boxing championships were held at the Lyric theater, Hobo ken, last night. They were under the auspices of the Valencia Boat club and will continue tonight and Saturday night. There was a big crowd and much enthusiasm last night. It was the first time since the law against boxing in New York state went into effect that local sports had 2 chance to witness contests of this kind with out being compelled to travel. The entry list was large and brought to-. gether big aggregation Of clever box CTS and wrestlers. Charley Harvey was master of ceremonies, while Joseph P. Conlin refereed the boxing bouts, and John Steil of the New York Turn Eerein acted in the same capacity for the, wrestlers. B. J. Diamond. New West Side A. O., who Is looked upon as an exceptionally clever bantam, had an easy time with Michael Burke, War ren A. O. Diamond had his antagon- ist's nose bleeding in the first round, and in the second he outclassed him to such an extent that the referee stopped further hostilities and declared Diamond the victor. The first knock out or me n1gnL occurred Tn the HUI bout in the 115-pound class, when F. Liebold, St Bartholomew 4. O.. put Charles Waldheim, Grace A. O., to sleep in the third round. The first es- say in the 125-pound class (boxing) was a hummer The contestants were Jos eph Backer, Pastime A. O., and John McG Graham, New West Side A. C.. They went at it hammer and tongs. McGraham was dropped in the second and third rounds, and being outclassed. the referee interfered and declared Backer the winner.
