II is probable that at the next session
of the general assembly the resignation
of Judge Horatio Rogers Of the supreme
court will be presented, the health or
the Judge being such as TO render this
step advisable. such action being on the
advice of his physician.
While the decision OF Judge Rogers to
retire has been known but few days
there are already a number of names
mentioned for the vacancy when 1t oc-
ours.
IL Is natural TO suppose that the gen
eral assembly being Republican Will elect
a Republican, but for all that several
Democrats have been named, and it Is
probable that the one finally selected TO
be honored by his party votes VIII re-
celve practically the entire support or
the Democratic members.
Among thea Democrats the names or
Clarence A. Aidrich and Charles Z. Cor
man have been mentioned, and II is said

UNION VETERANS.
Members Initiate Their New Hail and

The regular meeting Of the Union
Veterans Union was held Friday
night in their new hall over the Pike
drug store. The organization has
been accustomed to meet in the court
room but have experienced so much
Inconvenience in conflicting with
other meetings etc. that they have
finally decided to have hall of their
own. The new room is to be fitted
up quite costly and will be a great
Improvement on the old system.
There were about twenty present at
last nights meeting and numerous
plans were discussed and set on foot.
A scheme for admitting of soldiers'
wivesiand families into the organize.
ton as sort of auxiliary was dis
cussed and generally approved. A
movement was also started for so.
cial entertainment to be given in the
near future. Nothing very specific
was accomplished, the meeting being
to discuss the prospects Of the or
ganization rather than to transact
business.

KILLS wIFE'S STEPFATHER.
Metamora Qnd) Telegrapher, In Fit
of Jealous Rage, Vents Wrath
with Gun.

Metamora, Ind, April 14.-Crazy
with jealousy, Richard Oliphant, a
telegraph operator here, on Saturday
murdered Capt. Peter Pellser, his
wife's stepfather, who was assisting
her to leave her home. The shooting
was done on the platform of the rail-
way station in his wife's presence.
Then, after holding the town at bay
all day long with his shotgun, Oil
plant killed himself late in the after
noon by taking carbolic acid. Oil
plant was jealous of Richard McAntee,
fireman on the Big Four railroad.
Mrs. Oliphant and Capt. Pellser, her
stepfather, appeared at the depot
Saturday morning, apparently ready
to leave town. Shortly before train
time Oliphant appeared in the door
of the depot with double barreled
shotgun in his hands. His manner
was so threatening that It was
thought he intended to kill McAntee
as soon as he caught sight of him. To
prevent this some one ran down the
track, tagged the train and begged
the engineer not to approach the de-
pot till Oliphant could be disarmed.
The stopping of the train seemed to
heighten ELEPHANTS rage. He ran up
the platform to where Pellser was
standing, lifted his shotgun and fired.
The charge tore away Pellser's left
hand and the injured man fell, groan-
ing, to the ground. Mrs. Oliphant ran
in terror to the rear of the depot,
but 0liphant did not attempt to chase
her. Instead, he calmly walked closer
to Pellser and emptied the other bar
rel of the weapon into his back, just
to the right of the spinal column. In
o few hours Pellser was dead.
Meantime Oliphant had barricaded
himself in the depot. He threatened
to kill anyone who approached. His
rawlings at everyone within hearing
were horrifying, but he did not shoot
again. Later in the afternoon, how
ever, when he had been quiet for
some time, officers crept up to the
building and gained entrance. They
found Oliphant lying on the floor,
gasping in the death throes. The
empty bottle from which he had
taken the carbolic acid was beside
him.

BELGIUM IN A TURMOIL.
Soldiers and Rioters Have Sharp En-
counters in Several Places
in the Country.

Brussels, April 12.-The Belgian gov
eminent has decided to proclaim mar
tial law on Monday, unless order is pre-
viously restored.
Brussels, April 12.-Sharp fighting
between strikers and gendarmes oc-
Cured Friday morning at Bracque-
mics, near Charleroi. Several thou
sand strikers attacked and stoned a
body of gendarmes, who retaliated by
firing their revolvers. A sharp fusil-
lade followed and the gendarmes were
compelled to retreat. A squadron OF
lancers, however, galloped up and dis
persed the mob.
A semblance of order was restored
among the rioters in the Rue Stevens
early Friday morning. The police.
who had borne the brunt of the fight
ing, were strongly reinforced by
gendarmes and civic guards with load
ed rifles. Orders were issued to use
all the force necessary to drive the
mob out of the Maison du Peuple.
Just as the order was about to be
executed the chiefs of the socialists
offered to evacuate the building
quietly.
Estimates of the number wounded
during the riots vary from 40 to 100,
but scores of injured were carried off
and hidden by friends.
A large number of rioters were ar
rested and are still detained.
The burgomasters of Brussels and
suburban municipalities have pro-
claimed that meetings of more than
ten persons are prohibited and that
anyone found carrying revolver shall
be liable to six months imprisonment.
All centers of agitation were brist-
ling Friday with bayonets. Squads of
cavalry are continually patroling the
streets and guarding the shops which
were threatened with plundering by
the rioters,
A manifesto signed by the general
council of the labor party has been
widely posted. 1t demands revision
of the constitution and universal suf-
frage.
Friday evening there were several
other outbreaks in the city. The po-
lice charged the rioters and about 25
persons were wounded. Many 9TH
ers were arrested. All those ar
rested were armed with revolvers.
Demonstrations and encounters also
occurred at Liege, Client and else
where, the most vigorous being at
Houdeng-Goegnies, in the coal dis
trict. During the collision between
the police and strikers at that place
the latter used brickbats and firearms.
The police fired upon the rioters, kill
ing coal miner and a young girl. Fiji
teen persons were wounded, including
two policemen. Mounted infantry final
ly dispersed the mob.
kilograms from the country dis
tricts indicate the widespread char.
acter of the movement, which threat
ems to eliminate in a grand coup next
week, during the reform debate in
parliament.
At La Louviere 5000 men ceased
work forcing the workers in the large
industrial establishments at La
Croyere and Haine st. Pierre to join
them. The strikers threaten to burn
all factories where the workers refuse
to quit.
Additional regiments of cavalry, IN
fantry and engineers arrived here Fri
day morning. A battalion is held in
readiness for action at each of the
barracks. All the troops are supplied
with two packets of ball cartridges and
two packets Of so-called strike-car-
tridges.

Story of Peace Between Beers and
British Untrue.

London, April, I'm the house Of
commons at midnight A. j. Balfour,
the government leader, replying to a
question asked by Sir Henry Camp
bell-Bannerman, the liberal leader, de-
clared that the government had no in
formation concerning the peace ru-
mors, and that there was no founda-
tion for them.
Mr.. Balfour's denial of the peace ru-
mors was very emphatic. He said:
"We have no information at all, nor, in
the nature of things, could there be
any"
The sudden calling of a cabinet meet
ing, and the fact that King Edward
rather unexpectedly terminated his
cruise Friday in order to return to
London, convinces people that some
thing important is pending and has
led to the most extraordinary rumors.
Among other things, it is reported
that Mr.. Chamberlain, the colonial sec
rotary, has resigned. This is quite un-
true. Mr.. Chamberlain was suffering
from a chill Friday, but he expects to
attend the cabinet meeting to-day.
