Cleveland, o., Dec. 22.-Roscoe w.
Derby, machinist, respondent over
money matters, killed his wife and
three children at their home and then
committed suicide.
The dead: Roscoe w. Derby, aged
40; his wife Della; Harold, aged g.;
Alice, aged z; Thomas, aged 5.
The crime was extraordinary in its
thoroughness and evidently had been
planned carefully Derby had been
down town as late as IL O'Clock the
night before, ostensibly shopping, but
In all probability securing ammunition
for his revolver. When he arrived
home his wife and he talked for a
time with q neighbor who had been
calling, over Christmas festival they
had planned.
The crime is believed to have been
committed about O. clock in the morn
ing. Mrs. Derby was shot to death
in bed. two bullets having been fired
into her head and a third. probably
fired after the children had been kill
ed, in the back OF her neck. Mrs. Der
by was probably killed during sleep,
the expression on her face showing no
sign OF a struggle. Two of the chill
dren, however, probably had strug-
gle with Derby after they had been
awakened by the shooting and made
an Intellectual attempt to escape. Har-
ODDS body was found in a pool of
blood in the kitchen and that of Alice
in the dining room with her face to
the floor and bullet in her breast.
Harold evidently had been chased
about the house by his father, as the
furnishings were in disorder. From
the location of his wounds the boy
probably was caught by his father and
held while the revolver was placed
against the little fellows forehead and
two bullets sent into his brain. There
was also evidence of a struggle on
Alice's rart. The last Of the children
to die was Thomas. He remained in
bed while Derby shot him in the head
After the crime Derby went to the
bedroom where his wife lay dead and,
lying down at her side, fired a bullet
into his own brain.
A number of poolroom checks were
found lying about the house, showing
that Derby had been trying his luck
at betting.
The first knowledge of the crime
was communicated in letter written
by Derby to friend in this city. The
letter was to the effect that when it
should be received the Derby family
would be dead. When the friend hur-
ried to the house the terrible tragedy
was revealed

A force of az men is employed at
the Providence mine, in Providence
camp, by Manager Mcintosh. 1t is
shipping two cars of ore per month,
and most of the ore will go to the
Greenwood smelter. Sinking in the
incline haft, now down 1873 feet, will
start shortly after the new year.
The most important mining deal in
Northport vicinity during 1903 is now
taking place. Lewis P. Larson of Spo-
kane has taken a bond on the Last
Chance mine, located seven miles east
on Deep Creek and owned by the Last
Chance Mining & Reduction company.
The purchase price is considerably in
excess of the $4,000 mark
Work for the winter has been sus-
pended at the Bodie mill and mine, a
Toroda creek property, near Republic.
Occur d'Alene mine owners say that
every mine in the district shipping it's
product to Helena or Pueblo, Col,
shelters, will profit by the railroad
freight change which allows ores up
to $50 in value to be carried at the So
rate. 1t is claimed that with the pos
sible exception of the Hercules, no
mine in the district has a fiat freight
and treatment rate with the smelters,
and as a result any reduction in freight
rates adds to the profits Of the owners
of the mines, and does not go to the
smelters.

1t is reliably reported that Charles
Sweeny is negotiating to buy the Sill
yer King and the DAILY West lead
mines in Utah for the Federal Mining
company. FOR this purpose and the
acquiring of other properties the cap
ital of the Federal company will be
increased to $50,000,0OO.
This move will put the Federal COM
pany in position to control the lead
market, as it will have 70 per cent of
the lead output of the United States.
Negotiations have progressed to such
a point that w. Clayton Miller was
sent to examine the Utah properties,
and Charles Hussey, from Finch &
Campbells office, accompanied him to
go over the books Of these companies
to verify the statements as to the bus
mess heretofore done. The Silver
King is the biggest lead mine in the
United States, having paid last year
$1,S00,000 in dividends. The preferred
stock of the Federal company is mar
ketable in New York at 500, this price
carrying a share of common stock
with each share of preferred.

NEW MONEY SYSTEM.
Plan of the American Banking Asso-
citation,

New York.-After a three days ses-
sion here the bank money order COM
mittee of the American Bankers asso-
citation, representing 1000 banks, has
agreed upon plan for a money order
system whereby sums not to exceed
500 can be sent by mail and the Or
ders cashed by any bank belonging to
the association.
The scheme will, of course, come in
to direct competition with the money
order division of the postoffice service,
and it is expected to cut largely into
the government revenues. The pro-
posed system is said to be operated
precisely as exchange is now sold and
the orders are to be sold by a guar
antee company.
The committees report will be sub
mitted tc the executive council of the
national body at it's regular meeting
next April.

The Pueblo, Col, city council and
police department recently ordered
Max Malich of Denver, a prominent
labor leader, and President Meyer of
the Western Federation of Miners to
leave the city on the first train. Both
obeyed the order. The action on the
part of the council was due to a meet
ing held when union of smeltermen
was organized with 1873 members and
at which a riot was threatened when a
former Cripple Creek miner criticized
President Meyers course. 1t is as
serted that practically none of the
present employees of the smelters here
joined the union. Before leaving Pres
ident Meyer expressed the intention
of proceeding against certain city Of
fcials in the courts for their action.

1t is many years since. the Tuscarora
Indians have held Coincidence" a
ceremony which to the red men is
similar to the inauguration Of a presi-
dent by the whites, says a Mia CARA
Falls correspondent Of the Chicago
Inter Ocean. In explanation of this
an old chief says that the Indians no
longer look upon the ceremony of a
"condolence" with the reverence of
old. The Tuscaroras are the adopted
children Of the Six Nations, and thew
say that the Onondagas, the fireke&p-
ers' OF the nation, practically have dis
qualified themselves for this honor
able position, and that tho Tuscaroras
no longer look up to them as children
are wont to do to parent for advice
and help.
From these feelings between the
adopted children and the leading tribe
OF the Six Nations, it is evident that
tho Indians are cinging closer to CIV
lllzation and the white mans customs.
and that a chastn is opening between
the Indian tribes of the state. Asare-
suit of this severance of tribal rela-
tions the Indians Of western New York
are looking forward to citizenship.
