Killed wife. Daughter and Self.

Buffalo, n. Y, July 15.-Edgar T.
Washburn, member of the Buffalo Board
of Trade and one of the grain firm of
Washburn & Heathfeld, this morning
shot and killed his wife and daughter at
their home, No. SO Putnam street, and
then ended his own life by shooting.
Business trouble is supposed to have
been the cause OF the tragedy. Wash
burn was one of the city's most promi-
nent grain merchants and he was sup
posed to be worth snug fortune. The
bodies of Washburn and his victims were
found by Mrs. Hum, who lives next
door. Washburn's body lay on the floor
of his bedroom in pool of blood. A
revolver was clasped in one hand. The
bodies of Mrs. Washburn and her To-
year-old daughter, Gladys, were in bed.

FRIDAY EVENING. JULY Is, 1904.

IT WILL be seen from an article in the
local columns of the Gazette that not
withstanding the action taken by the
officials of this city in beginning the
work of repaving King street previous
to July, 1902, the time when the
new constitution went into effect, the
assessments made against abutting prop
erty-owners cannot be collected hence
the city may he called upon to refund
all moneys paid by persons owning prop
erty on King street in front of whose
premises the new vitrifed brick roadway
has been placed This is one Of the
features of the new constitution which
initiates considerably against cities, es-
peciaIlv Alexandria, where spirit OF
public improvement was being mani
tested in various quarters. All such
work had been brought to a standstili
two years ago. Now, before any more
Improvement can be made, unanimous
agreement on the part of property -own-
ers will be necessary and assessments
collected in advance. Alexandria has
suffered serious loss in many other ways
by the new constitution. The city may
now be called upon to stoOp and receive
an additional burden. Il will not prove
TO be the feather to break the camePs
back, however, but that it will seriously
interfere with further improvements Is

COrdova Resigns.

South River, N. j., July 15.-The
re,ignatson of Rev. J F. Cordova as
pastor of the Methodist Church, and
the withdrawal of Miss Julia Bovine,
with whom the minister eloped ON May
II, will be publicly read to the congre-
cation of the church next Sunday morn
ing. In place of the trial of the pastor
who left his wife for the choir singer, the
village of South River was stirred yester-
day by the news that the pastor had re-
signed and that Miss Browne had sent
letter to the conference asking to be
placed without the pale of the church
authority. George Farr, one of the
elders, made the announcement that the
resignation and withdrawal will be read
Sunday. The duty of the reading will
devolve upon Jesse Selober, school
teacher, who, it is said, was at one time
engaged to Miss Bovine.

Mr.. Cleveland.

Buzzards' Bay, Mass, July 15.-
Former President and Mrs. Grover
Cleveland are expected to leave today
for their summer home at Sandwich, n.
H. Mrs. Cleveland arrived at Buzzards'
Bay yesterday. Mr.. Cleveland met her
at the station. As Mr. Cleveland had
been slightly indisposed with rheumatic
troubles for the last few days, it was
feared that Mrs. Cleveland's unexpected
visit meant that his illness had taken a
serious turn, but all anxiety was dis
PEELED when the ex-President drove to
the station to meet his wife. He show
ed no signs of i'll health and was in the
best of spirits.

The Northern Seourities Case.

Trenton, N. j., July 15.-Judge
Bradford today in the U. S. Court
granted a preliminary injunction in
the Northern Securities case. This is
the famous case of E. II. Hartman and
Others against the Northern Securities
Company. The result of the opinion is
that preliminary injunction is granted,
enjoining the carrying out of the proposed
plan of distribution of the stock of the
Northern Pacific Railroad and of the
Great Northern Railroad.
In granting the preliminary injunction
Judge Bradford says, in his opinion, that
the litigation is not yet ripe for final
hearing, and that the provisional in
junction is granted in order to protect
the rights of the compliments, because,
should a final decision result in favor OF
the complainants. there would be no as
sets left for distribution without the pre-.
liminary injunction. Judge Bradfords
opinion goes at length into discussion
of the legal aspects of the injunctive
power. The merits Of the main questions
raised are not passed upon.

The STRIKE of the meat packers is
still on and its effects are becoming more
serious daily. Eggs and poultry have
experienced an increased demand, and
these articles have advanced in conse-
quence. In the meantime some people
are experimenting on vegetarian bills OF
fare and endeavoring to accustom them
selves to live without meat 1t ought
not to be possible in such a country as
the United States for a strike in Chicago
to make the entire country 60 hungry.
Concentration and specialization have
their advantages, but it is at times like
the present that the people perceive most
wildly their disadvantages also, and
that is fact that ought to make both
strikers and packers conciliatory in their
attitude.

As HAD been intimated, the reported
loss of 80, 900 men by the Japanese in
the recent fighting around Port Arthur
has been refuted by more reliable hg'
ures. The casualties were between three
and four thousand and the losses are about
equally divided between the belligerents'
The japanese, however, seem to be
marching on and each days dispatches
state them as being nearer Port Arthur.
The Russians are still falling back and
the people of the Gar are seemingly
solacing themselves with the accounts of
the brilliant retreat of General Kuropat-
kin and the military genius displayed by
the commander in "falling back tao
tics. The general, in Inc meantime, it
is stated, is decorating officers who ran
at KaichOw.

apparent.

THE CAPRIuoUsNEss of Mr.. Roose-
welt is once more in evidence. He has
again turned a somersault by concluding
to receive a committee of the United
Mine Workers of Pennsylvania after
turning down their representatives a
day or two ago. The excuse given by
the Presidents apologists for his singular
procedure when the committee made its
appearance at Oyster Bay is curious, to
saw the least there had been no pre-
vious appointment with the committee. 4"
The fact is, it was feared conference
with the miners would be frowned upon
by the coal barons, who are expected to 60
down deep in their pockets in attempts
to further republican rule. A boomer
ang, however, was observable, and organ
lied labor arose as a mighty genie be-
fore the sojourner at Oyster Bay; hence
this retrograde movement.

Escaned from a Mob.

John O'Brien and Joseph Furman,
alias Day, who, it is alleged, murdered
the aged tollgate keeper, Samuel Ressler,
near Leaman place, Lancaster, Pa, on
the night Of July l, after a sensational
raid upon the village Of Gordonville, ar
rived in Lancaster at 20:10 o'clock last
night in the custody of Deputy Sheriff
Zeigler aud Detective Berger. They
were arrested last Friday at Norfolk.
A crowd Of a thousand or moro people
had gathered at the Pennsylvania Rail
road station, and there was remarkable
popular outburst when the prisoners
we're taken from the train. The crowd
made rush for the nurderers. A squad
of policemen, with drawn revolvers,
formed about them and dubbed their
way to a waiting trolley car. The crowd
attacked the car, pulling the trolley pole
from the overhead wire. Excitement
was at q high pitch, and it was only by
driving back the angry crowd at pistol
point that finally the car was got under
way. A gang OF men and boys ran after
it, and somebody in the crowd began
shooting, half dozen shots being fired
at the car. At the Jail there was another
crowd in waiting, and it was with the
greatest difficulty that the prisoners were
finally landed behind the bars.

The Elks' Reunion.

Cincinnati, o., July ia chorus of
10000 persons singing "Auld Lang
Syne," accompanied by dozen or more
bands, has been arranged by the commit
tee on eleven O'Clock toast for the Elks'
reunion. The magnificent memorial
clock being erected in Government Square
will be the finest illumination Cincin-
natl has ever seen, and it will attract
much attention. The tolling of the fire
bells at II O'Clock and the stopping of
street cars for period of IL minutes
will add much to the occasion. But the
most striking feature Of all will be the
multitude of Elks and their ladies, AS
sembled on Government Square each
night, singing the song that always ac-
companies the Elks' observance Of the
hour. 1t is proposed that all the bands
coming 10 Cincinnati be inTited to par
ticipate in the celebration which will oc-
cur at 1915, beginning Monday night.
