KILLED THE GIRLS FATHER.
Declined to Assist His Prospective
W. SOr.in-i aW TO Housek eepino

Chicago, Feb. 25.-Angered because
his persistent demands for a dowry
sufficient to give him start in house
keeping, were refused, and seeking
revenge on the family of his sweet
heart, George Childrose, stenograph-
er, shot and killed Henry Meyerer,
he girls father, and slightly wound
ed Emma Meyerer, her sister. Her
mother and another spectator escaped
other shots intended for them by rush
ing into the street. Then, believing
he had killed the entire family, Child
rose sent a bullet through his own
brain and fell dead az the door of his
sweetheart's room. The couple be-
came engaged last Tuesday and the
young man at once began his demands
that the father, retired mechanic
and inventor, furnish money to start
the couple in housekeeping. The de-
mands were so large and persistent
that the paternal consent to the pro-
posed union was withdrawn. When
he was dismissed Childrose vowed to
kill the whole family, and the tragedy

TEEEGRAPHIC MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis, Feb. 25.-Wheat sup-
port was lacking at the ope.ling and
after a few shorts worried over night
had covered, a half cent break fol-
lowed shortly, with a reaction equally
as rapid. There is no denying the
fact that wheat holders have suffered
butt the news is extremely bearish and
that weakly margined stuff has been
sacrificed, but it is invariably the case
that at these periods purchases prove
the most profitable and the turn comes
without warning. These breaks are
caused more by liquidation, when so
rapid, and has resulted in allowing
prices to go below their natural posi-
tion. When the shorts start to cover
their lines, the advance will be just
as sharp. Liverpool showed firmness
for the day. Paris and Antwerp
about same as yesterdays. close.
From now on disregard all bearish
news, they have been more than dis
counted. The weather is favorable
and receipts excessive which is nat.
ural on a declining market. Export
ers will display no hesitancy in taking
on wheat at the present basis. There
was about a million bushels cleared
yesterday and it will probably continue
heavy from now on. Primary receipts
561 900, against Ale, 600 bushels last
year. Cudahy. Wells and Patten were
heavy buyers.
E. Corn was more or less in sympathy
with wheat but the trading was on a
much larger scale In. the absence of
liquidation and good buying by strong
houses prices made a good advance.
From now on we would only sell corn
on rallies sof fair proportions but buy
on every recession. Out of 331 cars
received at Chicago not one graded
contract. This is bull argument
and substantiates our previous claims,
that shorts in May corn will have
trouble on their hands.
oats are without special feature.
They. too, have had sufficient break
for the present.
Provisions were a little heavy early
but, frmed up later. The shorts are
quite confident of their position, but
are going to get out Of the deal on
the first advance. which will be quick
and extend to at least 80 cents per
barrel. 4.

TERROR At CRIPPLE CREEK.
Half a Dozen Assay Offices in the

Livess of Many Persons inTJeopardy
and Several Severely Injured
in the Explosions.

Il Victor, Colo, Feb. 25.-Crlpple
Creek is in state Of terror owing to
a preconcerted attack upon all the
leading assay offices doing business in
the district. Beginning at a. m. and
following in rapid succession six ex-
plosions wrecked as many assay Of
fees in the centers ranging from Vic
tor to Cripple Creek and up to Gold
field. In every instance the object
sought by the incendiaries was ac-
complished by the destruction Of the
offices with their fine equipment of del
icate instruments.
The raiders did not hesitate to jeop-
ardize life, as all but one of the build
ings were also occupied by sleeping
families. AS it was men, women and
children were hurled out of their beds
by the shocks and\ serious injuries in
flicted. The full extent of the damage
cannot be estimated. In this city the
Davenport Office was wrecked by two
explosions, involving a loss of fully
81 200 900. Almost at the same time
the assay office of Vanderwalker, Nor
gan & Williams were treated likewise.
The loss was approximately as large
as Davenport's. One man, a miner
was severely injured in the explosion
at Williams Office. He was passing
at the moment of the explosion. Fly.
ing debris struck him in the face
gashing his eyes and may result in to-
tai blindness, I
In Cripple Creek tBenjamin's assay
Office, north Of the Florence and Grip
| pie Creek depot, was blown up. -.
In the town of Goldfeld, about &
mile and a half north of here, almost
simultaneously Boyce's office and an
other assay establishment were wreck
ed. Boyce's family occupied an ad
joining rooom. Mrs. Boyce was blow1
out of bed, but escaped without fata
injuries. She was badly shocked.
! family living in the other assay Office
was also blown out of bed, but escaped
serious injury. The giant powder was
thrown through the windows at Gold
field. In this city the pawder was
placed under the building.

out his deputies and is taking all
means to discover if possible the per.
petrators of the crimes. 8
For years there has been systematic
stealing of rich ore from the mines
amounting to thousands of dollars
monthly. It is alleged that more than
so assayers in the district have made
a business of buying such ore. Re.
Gently the Mine Owners'N association
discovered that shipments of high
grade ore had been made by assayers
from this district to a smelter at San
Francisco and a smelter at Salt Lake.
but all efforts to stop the traffic were
unavailing. 20:
The general impression here is that
the acts are the result of general
movement to rid the district of all
high grade ore purchasing institutions.

sTILLMAN DID NOT ATTEND.
His Invitation to the Prince Henry
Dinner withdrawn.

His Invitation to the Prince Henry
Dinner withdrawn.
Washington, Feb. 25.-The president
has withdrawn his invitation extended
to Senator Tillman of South Carolina
to attend the dinner given in
honor, Of Prince Henry of Prussia at
the White House. 1t is stated that
this action on the part of the president
was made necessary from the fact that
owing to occurrences on the floor Of
the senate last Saturday the senator
from South Carolina was declared in
contempt of the senate. Senator Mar
tin of Virginia, member of the COM
mittee on naval affairs, has accepted
an invitation in Mr.. Tillman's place.
The invitation was extended originally
to Mr.. Tillman owing to the fact that
he is the ranking minority member of
the naval fairs committee q
There was sensational sequel to
the decision of the president to elm
mate Senator Tillman from the list of
dinner guests. The president sent for
Senator Cockrell of Missouri and ask
ed him as friend and Democratic col
league of Mr.. Tillman to suggest to
the latter the propriety of withdrawing
his acceptance of the dinner invita-
tion. The president explained his atti-
tude in the matter and said that in
view of the contempt proceedings Mr..
Tillman's presence would not only be
an affront to the senate but discour-
tesy to Prince Henry. Mr.. Cockrell
accepted the commission and later
telephoned to the president that Mr.
Tillman absolutely refused to with
draw his acceptance in response to
the presidents suggestion The pres
ident Immediately cancelled the invi-
tation in a note he dispatched directly
to Mr.. Tillman shortly before noon.
In this note, which was very brief and
formal, the president stated he re
gretted that he was obliged to with
draw the Invitation. Simultaneo eously
Senator Martin of Virginia was invited
to take Mr.. Tillman's place at the din
,ner as the next ranking Democratic
member of the senate naval affairs
committee.

up the broad driveway to the White
House. Here. at the lord Of command
the column broke into single rank,
facing the main entrance. A detach-
ment of marines headed by it's famous
band had taken place at the right and
left of the main entrance, facing north.
The first carriage, containing the
prince, Secretary Hay and Rear Ad-
miral Evans, drove up at rapid pace
and as it passed under the portico the
Marine band struck up the German
national air, which was continued un-
til all the company had left their car
riages. At the carriage door the
prince was met by Assistant Secretary
Pearce and the German ambassador.
The party vas conducted through the
main lobby ,nto the red parlor, thence
into the East room and from there the
prince alone was conducted through
the Green room to the Blue parlor
where the president was in waiting to
receive him. In conformity with Dip
lomatic etiquette the president re-
ceived the royal visitor in private and
without introduction This was made
necessary by the fact that there is
now in the United States no represen-
tative of the German nation Of suf-
ficiently high rank to present to the
president prince of the blood royal,
a brother and personal representative
OF the German emperor.

Dave Sullivan.
Chicago. Feb. 25.-Terry McGov-

planned by Bob Fitzsimmons, who ref.
creed the fight. Fitzsimmons has ar.
rived in Chicago from Louisville and
answered the question as to whether
Sullivan was counted out or was dis
qualified for going down without being
hit.
Fitzsimmons sticks to the claim he
made at the ringside, that Sullivan
was down IL seconds and was actually
counted out. Several Chicagoans who
saw the battle disagree with the Cor
nishman as to the count, but Fitzsim-
mons says he was doing the counting
and ought to know.
Fitzsimmons does not go into de-
tails regarding his decision, but sim
ply claims that Sullivan was actually
counted out and lost for that reason.
