FRACTICIDE IN CHICAGO.
Robert McFetridge, a Wealthy Ice
Dealer, the Victim.

A dispatch from Chicago last night says:
Robert McFetridge. a wealthy ice dealer,
was shot and mortally wounded tonight
by his brother William McFetridge. For a
long time there has been bad blood between
the brothers over business matters. In
these disputes Robert was generally ad-
judged by his neighbors and the courts TO
be I'm the right. The brothers. their wives
and nearly all members of their respective
families were in Judge Dunnes court this
evening, where an assault case, growing
out of the family trouble, was being heard.
There was so much belligerent talk on both
sides that Judge Dunno placed all parties
under peace bonds before allowing them TO
leave the court.
While Robert McFetridge was on his way
home carrying in his arms his two-year-old
niece. William McFetridge came up from
behind and shot him in the back
Badly wounded as he was Roberts chief
care was to protect the little girl. He tried
to put her in a place of safety, and as ne
ran his brother followed. shooting him
twice more. William McFetridge WAS ar
rested after short search by the police.
The case which was on trial before Judge
Dunno was the result of charges preferred
by William McFetridge. who did the shoot
ing tonight. He accused his brother or
shooting him. Robert admitted the Shoot
ing, but claimed he did Il because his
brother was trying to kill him with an Ice
pick. The evidence WIS so clearly In favor
of Robert McFetridge that the state attor-
ney who was prosecuting the case asked
that Robert be discharged. This reused
William McFetridge to a frenzy, ana when
Judge Dunno declared that he would put
all parties under bonds to keep the peace.
he declined to give them until threatened
with confinement in Jail. After giving the
bond he went out. procured revolver and
waylaid his brother.

A dispatch from Berlin yesterday says:
During the debate on the estimates of the
chancellor's department in the reichstag
today the imperial chancellor. Count Won
Buelow, referred to the pleasant relations
between Germany and the United States
and to the approaching visit OF Prince
Henry Of Prussia.
The chancellor found his opportunity in
the remarks Of DR.. Barth. leader Of the
Freissinige party, who. in discussing the
budget, said:
81 want to touch upon the political re-
lations between Germany and the United
States. which are traditionally friendly in
character. One hndrance to the promotion
of this friendship is the prOtectionism now
prevailing In Germany. 1t is pleasant. on
the other hand, to see that the projected
visit Of a German prince to the United
States has disclosed the existence of q
large fund Of good win and cordiaiity
We recognize In the union not merely
great and economically effective commu-
nifty, but we know that the achievements of
the United States in other fields. such as
civilization and culture, are very important.
The cultivation Of the friendship OF the two
countries is thing to be grateful for"

Il can only repeat" continued the chan

set forth in detail will today meet with the
concurrence Of the house, namely, that
we are filled with an earnest desire to
maintain, on the basis Of perfect reciproc-
ity and mutual appreciation. the tradition
al good relations which have always ex-
listed between ourselves and the United
States. The voyage of Prince Henry to
America is an expression of these good re-

mills, with a view to interesting

dens-five dollars being offered
as first prize and two and one>

three visits during the year and
award tho prizes. The first visit
In June last showed that some Of
the families were taking an ac-

devoting their time to vegetables
Others to flowers, while others
still to neither. A second visit
in August by one Of the nom bers

fnal visit on Monday afternoon
proved that the experiment was
sminently successful There were
flowers to be seen everywhere,
and the porches of many houses
were shaded With graceful vines.
Flowers of many descriptions
were to DO seen on all sides, and
the scene is pretty one. The

awarding of prizes has not yet
been announced. The Saxon mill

Party'S Opportunity.
As seen By Cleveland.
Ex-president Believes That the
Time is Ripe. For Democ-

New York, Oc,. Ia. To Al re.
preventative of The Evening Post,
who asked him his views in re-
gard to the outlook for and the
duty OF the Democracy in the ap-
proaehing congressional elections,
ex-President Grover Cleveland
said:
''1t seems 10 nle that if the
Democracy is really in earnest it
cannot fail largely to increase it's
representation in the next con-
gross, but in order to do SO 1
think there must be q constant
and stalwart iasistance upon the
things which are recognized by
all to be true Democratic doc
trines. OF course by far the
most important of these is tariff
reform. On this issue, 1 am sat-
isfed that tho Democracy is face
to face with great opportunity.
All of the signs of tho times point
to . recognition, far beyond all
party lines, of the benefits which
would accrue to the people by a
readjustment Of the tariff, and it
would be worse than folly for tho
party under the stress of any
temptation or yielding to any al
lurement to permit this to be
subordinated to or overshado we'd
by any other Issue.

Republican circles on this subject,
often amounting to protest
against Republican protective
theories, should warn tie DEM

nean by this the possibility that
our opponents may crowd us from
our position on this subject, if we
allow them to do so by our luke
warmness and indifference and
to occupy our ground, just as
We permitted them to crowd us
from the ground that belonged to
ss on the question of sound
money.
II am very much pleased with
tho deliverance of the New York
Democracy on the tariff issue, and
it was fit and proper that the En-
pire State should sound the right
note. 1t is my clear conviction
that the best assurance Of success

A GEORGIA BIGAMIST CONVICTED
IN HAMPTON.
Hampton, Oct. 14.-Court con-
vened here this week. The two
most important cases tried were
those of j. H. Adams for bigamy
and that of H. G. Box for mur-

j. Il. Adams came to this coun.
ty from Georgia some time ago

CONVICTED OF MANsLAUGHTER.
The case of H. G. Box for the
murder of Section Master Nc
CranY was called.
1t will be remembered that this
killing was done on Sunday at
church near Tillman, S. c., last
spring. The evidence in the case
shows that Box and McCrany had
previously had a quarrel about
McCrany shooting a pistol at
target near his home on Sunday
morning. The two men had not
seen each other since the quarrel
until they met at the church, and
Mr.. McCrany asked Mr.. Box how
he enjoyed the sermon. Mr..
Box, being almost deaf, did not
understand Mr.. McCrany and at
once pulled his pistol and before
Mr.. McCrany could get hold of
him he fired, hitting him in the
abdomen, from which he died
few days after.
Mr.. Box is very fr.ll man
and also cripple. After the OK
animation of 80 or 40 witnesses
and the arguments of the attorneys
the case was left with the jury,
who rendered verdict of guilty
of manslaughter. A motion for
a new trial was asked, but the
Judge did not see fit to grant it
and MIR. Box was sentenced to
seven years in the penitentiary.
