and Himself, Woman Refusing
to Remarry Him.

Special to The Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Sept. Zone
of the worst tragedies in the history Of
Sioux Falls was enacted on one of the
principal business streets tonight, when

shot and almost instantly killed Inez
Borse, his divorced wife, and then fired
a bullet into his own head, dying in
stantly
The couple were married seven years
ago. but after living together until two
years ago, she left him and procured a
| divorce on the grounds of drunkenness
and cruelty. Since that time Herring
ton has persistently attempted to in
duce her to remarry and again live
with him. These efforts were unsuc-
of tonight. So annoying became his
opportunities that the woman evaded
him, rendering it very difficult for him
to see her.
In order to meet her and commit the
crime, which evidently had been care
fully planned, he this evening sent her
by messenger boy purported tele-
gram, which read
"Inez: Meet me at the corner by
the hatter's, just opposite the court
house, as am going to Salt Lake at
4:30 in the morning. Meet me at 9
o'clock. j. P. Harrington"
She met him as requested and at
9:15 their dead bodies were lying on
the sidewalk within two or three hun
dred feet of the court house. Scores
of people were on the street at the
time. Deputy Sheriff Crooks was only
a short distance away when the first
shot was fired, but before he could
reach the scene the object of the mur-
derer and suicide had been accom-
plished.
The woman was shot three times, in
the shoulder, heart and head. After
the first shot was fired she attempted
to push the murderer off the sidewalk.

NOBLE GERMANS VISIT
THE GREAT NORTHWEST
Landed Count and Baron Come to See
How Farming Is Done on a
Large Scale.

Count Won Schwerin, member of
the Prussian diet, and Baron Won Pol
zon a noted author, whose home is one
of the large estates in the kingdom OF
Saxony, arrived In st. Paul yesterday
on a tour of the United States for the
purpose of studying it's social and
economical conditions. The American
invasion of Europe is also engaging
their attention.
said Count Won Schwerin last night,
land we are amazed at it's extent and
the energy of your people. st. Paul, L
believe, is the prettieSt city we have
visited since we left New York. Your
streets are so clean and you have such
grand scenery. And the people, they
are so hospitable and so kind.
1--WE are in the United States prin-
cipally for the purpose of studying
your methods of farming. In our trip
from New York the farms we have
visited so far have been small, but I
am told that before we arrive at San
Francisco we will see some farms and
ranches of immense size. Both OF US
have estates, or farms you call them
in this country, and we use some of
your machinery in cultivating them,
but your methods would be quite i'm
possible with u.s.
OH our estates are pcOplt WHOoc
claims date back to feudal times, and
these cultivate the land, each one hav-
ing so much allotted to him. What
has impressed us the most is your rail-
roads. Their magnificence and speed
is quite incomprehensible.
"And you manufacturers. We have
ceased. to wonder at your temerity in
attempting to control the markets of
the world We in Prussia have much
to learn, and both myself and Count
Won Poison hope to return to our coun-
try at the close of our trip with infor-
nation of much advantage"
Yesterday both of the gentlemen
were taken over the city by DR.. Stamm,
the Swiss consul at st. Paul. Last
night they were given a reception at
DR.. Stamm's residence, 165 Smith av-
enue, A. H. Lindeke assisting in re-
ceiving them.
They leave tomorrow for the coast,
stopping to inspect the big farms and
ranches between here and San Fran
cisco.

clergyman. AS the bride is member
of Catholic family, the priest was ap-
preached, but he declined to officiate,
as the groom was Protestant, and the
special dispensation required in such
cases by the Catholic church had not
been obtained.
The first intimation of the ceremony
was made in an evening paper, and the
news created a big sensation in local
society circles. Mr.. and Mrs. Lyn-
wood proceeded to Montreal, presuma-
bly, bound for New York.
The Ryans have been guests at a
nearby summer resort for several
months, and were joined week ago by
Mr.. Ryan Sr. He was totally unaware
of the intention of his daughter, and
refused to discuss the marriage after
wards, merely remarking that she was
of age. He left tonight with the other
members of his family for st. Paul.
The young couple met during the
presentation of amateur theatricals
last June. The bride is a graduate of
a local convent, and beautiful, cultured

Midnight Darkness at Noon.

PORTLAND, Or, Sept. 12.--Forest
fires are burning over the Cascade and
coast ranges, from British Columbia
to the California Misunderstanding mil
lions of feet of timber, many farm
houses, barns and much live stock.
TWO persons are known to have lost
their lives, others are missing, and
scores are hurrying to places of safety.
AT Bridal VEIL Or, today the Palmer
saw mill and the Brewer mill were
burned. Elsie Palmer, proprietor of
the Palmer, was burned to death, and
man named Trickey is missing. About
forty mill hands are in danger of being
surrounded by fire. AT one mill on the
plain near Vancouver eight farm hands
were burned today, and Mrs. Hendrick-
son and her children are missing.
Water Supply Cut Off.
In Washington the town of Enumen-
claw, on the Northern Pacific, in Kings
county, is in great danger. Every team
is being pressed into service to take
people to places of safety and the wa
ter supply is cut off by the burning Of
the mains, but every effort is being
made to protect mill property.
VOih N1lilOI Oc IcCGlNSQ from fIIf1d
and Aberdeen, the wires being down.
1t Is known, however, that six lumber
mills and ten houses have been burned
six miles south of Elma. Many similar
reports are being received from Wash
ington points. At Ducora, forty-five
miles south of Tacoma, the town was
in total darkness at noon.
Superstitious Ones Prophesy.
Many people refused to believe that
the phenomenon was from forest fires
and predicted dire disaster. AT Cen
tralia darkness caused all business to
stop.
The last report from Shelton was
that nearly all of the mills in Mason
county were on fire. The town of Mat
lock, that county, was in imminent
danger, and timber 100 feet high was
burning.
Sixteen miles from Ottawa the bor-
der string of camps on the Black Hill
district are in great danger. Forty
men on horseback have gone to rescue
women and children.
In Tacoma a heavy darkness settled
down. Boats could not pass the Mar
rows on account of darkness, and at
Olympia the electric light plant shut
down and at noon it was as black as
night.

ALEXANDER SHEPHERD
DIES IN MEXICO
Was Once Governor of Washington, D..
c., and Made That Town Amerl-
cas- Prettiest City.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. ia
telegram from Batolipas, Mexico, an
nounces the death of Alexander B. Shep-
herd. The cause of death was peritonitis.
brought on by an attack of appendicitis.
Mr.: Shepherd, long known as Boss
Shepherd. was born in Washington, d.
c., Jan. 30, 1885. His fathers death led
him to engage in business while a boy,
and he was very successful. He enlisted
in 1861 in the Washington volunteers and
the same year was president of the city
council. He was a strong advocate Of
public improvements, and became chair
man of the Citizens Reform association.
which secured legislation establishing
territorial government in Washington
President Grant appointed him governor
of the District Of Columbia, and Mr.
Shepherd planned and carried out large
public improvements. which made WASH
ington the most beautiful city in the
country. Charges of corruption We're
made against him. but investigation fail
ed to sustain them. Congress changed
the district government to one by three
commissioners. President Grant nomi-
mated Shepherd as a commissioner, but
the senate refused confirmation. Later,
as vice president and general manager
of a company, he developed a large sill
yer mine at Batopilas, Mexico, and in
this and other enterprises in that repub-
lie and in the Southwestern United
States acquired great wealth.

LATEST ERUPTION
OF MOUNT PELEE
Prof. HeiIprim Gives the Results of
Observation Among the
Ruins.

FORT DE FRANCE, Martinique,
Sept. 12.-Prof. Angelo Heilprin, pres
ident of the Philadelphia Biographical
society, who is in Martinique in the
interests of the National Geographical
society, has made the following report
of the recent eruptions of Mont Pelee:
'"The scene of destruction in the last
eruption az Mont Pelee far surpasses
in extent that of the eruption of May
8. when st. Pierre was destroyed, in
cludes the broad area lying between
Macouba and Carbet and involves
Haute Tours de Bourbon, Basse Pointe,
Morne Balai and Ajoupa Bouillon,
where alone upward of 800 persons
were killed, as well as Morne Rouge,
with a death loss of probably not less
than LOO persons; Morne Capot and
the heights somewhat this side of
Fonds ST. Denis, the blast, however,
leaving the last named place untouch-
ed.
Great cinders fell also over the
region with ashes. In Carbet the ashes

lie one foot 1deep!a and nearly the same
amount covers the ruins of ST. Pierre.
All of Morne Rouge, with the excep-
ton of about four houses and the
beautiful church, has been swept to
the ground and the greater part of
the town has been burned up. At
Ajoupa Bouillon. where onehalf of the
town has BEEN Frustrated, there is no
trace of fire Of ar4y kind.
The destruct1ve> blast, instead of
combining itself to section or area, as
was the case during the first eruption,
was distributed radically, crossing the
low summit of the volcano near the
knob Of Morne Jacob and skipping four
zones between its rays. The danger
from Mont Pelee Is thus materially
increased, and perhaps no position in
the north of the island is absolutely
safe. The government has ordered the
evacuation of all points reached by a
radius of about eight or ten miles from
the crater.
"The recent phenomena were pre-
cisely like those of May s, death re-
sulting in most cases from contact
with the terribly swift and hot blast,
which burned and which suffocated.
The sulphur emitted from the crater
during the recent eruptions was COM
paratively Insignificant, although it
densely permeated the ash cloud which
fell over Precheuer"

AGRARIAN QUESTION
NEAR SETTLEMENT
John Redmond Says the Grimes Act
Proclamation Justifies Armed
Rebellion.

WATERFORD, Ireland, Sept. I'm
acknowledging the presentation today of
the freedom of the city of Waterford, John
Redmond, chairman of the United Irish
league and of the Irish Parliamentary par
ty, said the agrarian question, the last
real obstacle to home rule, was near set
tlement.
The ranks of the Irish landlords were in
revolt against the few wealthy politician
landlords who had long led them to ruin.
The crimes act proclamation justified any
resistance, even armed rebellion. If this
was not resisted he would despair of OBJ

Yesterdays Rise in Temperature
Comes Too Late to Save Maturing
StaIks-Garden Truck Destroyed
ICE FORMS IN THE DAKOTAS
AND EVERYTHING is KILLED
Wisconsin, Nebraska, Iowa and Min
nesota Are Also Hard Hit-But 80
Per Cent of Corn Crop Promises to
Be Marketable in Many Sections.

The severe frosts having wrought
much destruction, the weather will
now grow warmer. The frosts through
out Minnesota, North and South Da-
kota and Northern Iowa have killed the
corn that was not matured, rendering
1t unfit for anything but fodder. All
late vegetables have been totally de-
stroyed.
The effect of the boreal breath has
also been felt in Wisconsin and Ne
brasHa, where the maturing OF corn
will be seriously retarded. 1t was re-
marked of Nebraska by an old Beard
of Trade speculator yesterday:
Nebraska corn has never been
touched by frost, but it will catch it
now
Corn BIghted Everywhere.
In the northern part of Iowa the de-
structiVe effect of the frost was much
felt. The corn was not matured, and
In some places from one-fifth to one
half of the crop is ruined. 1t is esti-
mated that in many sections only 80
per cent of the crop will be marketed.
The killing frost reached nearly as far
as Sioux City.
Near MarshalltoWn, Iowa, the frost
was severe enough to kill all delicate
plants. 1t is said that the effect there
on corn may not be hard, but on the
loWlandS it is damaged.
AT Iowa Falls the frost did most
damage, the injury being so great that
the corn will have to be cut and fed to
cattle.
Vegetation Totally Destroyed.
AT Huron, S. D., the frost was ex-
tremely severe, the mercury falling as
low as 26 degrees. The corn is ruined
beyond recovery, and garden stuff was
killed. At Pierre the thermometer reg
istered as low as 80, which is the low
est it has been there at this season for
twelve years. Light ice formed there
and all vegetation was totally destroy
ed. All through South Dakota the same
conditions prevailed.
In North Dakota all corn was ruined
and fax was seriously injured. Garden
vegetation was killed. At Bismarck the
temperature was as low as %. At
Moorehead, Mimi, also, the same de-
gree was registered. Throughout Man
itoba and Western Canada the weather
was warmer. Edmonton, the point
farthest north from which reports are
received, reported a temperature of 3S
degrees yesterday morning.
Rise Comes at Night.
Last evening same place reported rs;
Medicine Hat yesterday morning re-
ported 30, and in the evening rs; KAN
loops in the morning, AZ, in the even
ing, rs; Winnipeg yesterday morning
reported %, and in the evening Sc.
1t will be seen that the cold wave
has left the Northwest, and is followed
by warmer weather. From the points
farthest West the highest temperature
was reported, while those further East
were lower.
The thermometer in st. Paul yester-
day morning registered 40, and during
the day it rose IA degrees. Last night
1t fell considerably, but the indications
are that it will soon grow warmer.
