BATTLES MICHIGAN POLICE
MYSTERY SURROUNDS A TRAa-
EDY AT HOMER.
Man and Wife Found Shot to Death
lis It Murder or Double
Suicidee

Detroit, Mich, Feb. 25.-A special to
the Tribune from Homer, Mich, says:
Louis M. Hardy and wife, aged about 40
years, were found dead in bed Friday
night Each had been shot once in the
head and once under the heart. The po-
lice are working on theory of murder,
as the position Of the bodies seemed to
deny the possibility OF either the hus-
band or wife having fred the fatal shots.
There was, however, no evidence of q
struggle, the bodies being carefully COW
cred with bedclothing. This feature was
taken as suggestion of deliberate dou-
Bile suicide, though 1t Is hard to harmo-
nize this theory with the finding of the
wounds. The dead man is a brother of
George Hardy, who has been for 20
years life prisoner in the state prison
at Jackson. The dead woman was the
wife OF the convict, but secured a divorce
and married the brother after her first
husband was imprisoned. The dead
couple had been known to have had fire.
quent quarrels, and Thursday night the
husband had gone to the theater, fail
ing to take his wife. The shooting is
thought to have occurred about four a.
m. revolver was found lying between
the two bodies outside the coverlet.

FAMOUS ACTOR ILL.
Dtr Henry Irving Suffering Break
i down as Result Of
overwork.

! WolverhAmpton, Eng, Feb. 25.-sir
Henry Irving's condition Is practically
unchanged. The patient himself ID
brave and hopeful. The attending ply
stefan says that Sir Henry is completely
run down and that 1t is impossible at
present to make anyBafe prediction con-
corning the prospects of his reappear-
ance on the stage. Sympathy and inter-
est In Sir Henry's condition is world
wide, az is shown by the number Of tele-
grams and cable dispatches which he has
received, while groups Of sympathetic
local admirers and visitors are gathered
al day long in the narrow street in front
Of the hotel. One Of his doctors says that
Str Henry's condition is the result Of
evsrwork at his age, combined with
continuous round Of entertainment at
every place he has visited during this,
his last provincial tour At each town
the municipality has entertained him
and made presentations to him, necessi.
tating q great number Of speeches. In
addition to this, Sir Henry has every
where been lavishly entertained at pri.
vate houses. All this, coupled with eight
performances each week and continued
travelling, has naturally resulted in
breakdown.

REVIEW Of TRADE.
Activity in Many Lines of Business
Follows Milder Weather
Conditions.

New York, Feb. 25.-Bradstreet's
says: with the exception of few lake
and seaboard ports which show effect OF
past bad weather, distributiye trade at
most leading markets assumes q more
favorable aspect. This is due to the
spread OF milder weather conditions and
the increase in the number OF country
buyers. Especially active lines are dry
goods, notions, boots and shoes, rubber
goods, hats, hardware and groceries.
Jobbers' stocks are generally reported
light, and the feeling grows that spring
trade will be heavy as soon as seasona.
BILE weather definitely sets in. Relative.
~ the best reports as to trade come from
the central valleys and the south. The
general tendency Of reports az to the
winter wheat crop is that the heavy snow
covering has helped the crop. Heavy
rains on the Pacific coast haye made for
good crop prospects, especially in Cali.
fornia. Among the Industries iron and
steel still show relatively the most ac-
tive demand and the largest turn over.
Pig iron has sold better at all markets.
rails also have been bought more freely.

Bic TUNNEL IS COMPLETED
TWO PARTIES BORING THROUGH
ALPS FINALLY MEET.
Project Regarded as Greatest En-.
cheering Achievement Of
the Present Age.

Condo, Switzerland, Feb. 25.-Pierc-
ing of the Simplon tunnel through the
Alps was completed at 1920 o'clock
Friday morning. The work was COM
meAced in 1898. The meeting of the
two boring parties (Swiss and Italian)
was signaled throughout Switzerland
by ringing of church bells and salutes
by cannon.
Many unexpected obstacles were en-
countered, the most serious being hot
springs, which threatened to wreck the
whole enterprise, and a temperature
which at one time rose to 131 degrees
Fahrenheit, making continuance Of
the work impossible until the engi-
neers found means of cooling the at
mosphere. Now that the borers have
met, it will enable the water accumu-
lated in the north gallery to be drawn
off. The work of preparing the tuni
mel for permanent way will be
pushed as rapidly as possible, and it
is hoped to inaugurate the tunnel
about March 20.
The piercing of the Simplon is res
garded as being one OF the great
/ est engineering achievements of
the age. Many difficulties were en-
countered and overcome. The length
of the tunnel from Briga, in Switzer-
land, to Iselle, on the Italian side of
the mountain, is about IL miles. Work
was begun over seven years ago, and
according to contract the tunnel must
be ready for traffic on May 15 next.
The Swiss and Italian governments
Jointly financed the undertaking, share
and share alike, at the cost of $15,-
100000. AS soon as the boring 10
thoroughly completed and the track
laid, smaller tunnel is to be con-
structed parallel to the large one,
which will be increased in size SO as
to permit of traffic both ways at the
same time.
Berne, Switzerland, Feb. 25.-Presi-
dent Rouchet sent congratulatory
messages by telegraph to King VIC
tor Emanuel and Premier Giolitti on
the piercing of the Simplon mountain,
expressing the hope that the great
! work would further strengthen the
friendship between Italy and Switzer-
land and add to their prosperity.

Paris, Feb. 25.-After the riots at

largely Armenians.
Cannot Be Reached by Wire.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 25.-Poti, said to
have been bombarded by the Black sea
Meet, cannot be reached by telegraph.
The latest private reports from the eau
casus say trouble has broken out at
Balakhany, near Baku. The military
force of the whole region is declared to
be inadequate to suppress the disorder
and spreading Of the racial contest is
generally anticipated. Thousands of
Armenians are said to be leaving Baku
and Baum. The Armenians and Mus
sulmans are practically in a state of
open war.
Reservists Decline to Serve.
Among the reservists agitators are
spreading the story that the war is
over A case is cited which occurred
fortnight ago at Riazan, where 200
reservists, who had been called in,
fatty told the officer they did not in
tend to serve. 1.-The war is over" said
the leader; 1--WE know you simply want
to make money out of contract for
feeding us. We will not serve" and
on they marched. An instance is also
given OF reservists who actually left q
railway train after they had been
started for the front.
Private reports also leave no room
Tor doubt that the strikes in the whole
region below Moscow are almost en-.
tirely political in character. The SIT
uation generally in the south of Rus
sia il becoming worse instead Of better,
and contains many factors which are
causing the authorities the greatest
alarm. The possibility of the neces-
sity for the dispatch of additional
troops to the Caucasus is already being
considered.
Another factor that is causing grave
concern Is the actual difficulty of trans
porting enough commissary supplies
TOR feeding the army at the front,
These constantly increasing difficulties
are strengthening the peace party.

ed, will say that nine out of ten Of
the animals butchered over the Co.,
are In the same condition, 1. o. with
calf, as those had reference to, and no
one can say, especially employees,
that any diseased animals were ever
butchered by me. All this dirty work

punished If I have violated any law.

IN CONGRESS.
Short Synopsis Of Proceedings In the
House and Senate on
Friday.

Washington, Feb. 25.-In the house
of representatives Friday the fight of
many years waged against the appre--
; priation of $130,600 for rental of the old
New York custom house, resulted in a
victory. Mr.. Hemenway (Ind.), chair
man of the committee on appropriations,
being unable to muster sufficient
strength to retain the provision in the
bill The opposition was led by Mr..
sulzer IN. ", supported by Mr.. Will
nams (Miss.), the minority leader, both
Of whom denounced the expenditure as
q public scandal, and In the interest Of
the Standard Oil company, which it was
alleged was behind the National city
bank, the purchaser Of the building from
the government. Although the bank was
alleged to have bought the property for
100000 and to have credited the
amount to the government, it developed
that no title had passed to it, and that
in consequence 1t was paying no taxes
to the state of New York. The failure
Of the government to give deed was
ascribed to be due to the influence Of the
Standard Oil company. The action In
striking out the provision was on q
strictly party vote. In the course OF gem
sral debate on the bill, Messrs, Crum-
packer (Ind.), Wallace (Ark.) and Byrn
(Miss.) discussed the race question In
the south, the latter also dealing with
present cotton condition.
The time Of the senate was divided DO.
tween the Swayne impeachment trial
and the motion of Senator Be~eridse to
appoint conferees on the joint statehood
bill. In the Swayne case Senators Per-
hins. Clayton and Powers made argu-
ments in behalf of the prosecution. and
Senator Higgins responded in Judge
Swayne's behalf, leaving Mr.. Thurs
ton still to speak for Judge swayne and
Messrs. De Almond and Palmer for the
house. The trial will be resumed at ten
o'clock to-day. 1t is the expectation OF
the senators who are managing the i'm.
peachment trial of Judge Swayne that
IN agreement will be made to-day to take
vote on Monday. Senator Morgan an.
tagonized the motion to appoint con-
ferees on the statehood bill, and held the
door in opposition when the senate adj
journed for the day.

Little Chance for Pardon,

Boston, Feb. 25.-The petition for the
pardon Of Jesse Pomeroy, now serving a
life sentence in the state prison for the
murder of children, has been placed on
hle by Gov. Douglas. This means that
the pardon will not be granted. Pom.
eroy was convicted in 1874 of the muir.
der of Horace Millen and Nellie Curran
two children about hts own age who
were then IL years old. The bodies were
horribly mutilated and then buried BY
Pomeroy who was alleged to have been
actuated by a desire to witness suffering.
He was sentenced to be hanged, the SEN
tence being subsequently committed to
solitary confinement for life.
