night, after an alteration on a street

southern warrior. Hef1in was arrested
and detained at the Sixth precinct POI
lice station until friends furnished So

tent to kill.
The shooting occurred shortly after Z
o'clock, just as the, trolley car reached
the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and
Sixth street, on it's way to Capitol hill
Mr.. Hefiin, who is temperance lec-
turer as we'll as a congressman, had
boarded the car on his way to the
Methodist Episcopal church in John
Marshall place; where he was sched.
uled to speak against the evils Of
liquor. AS he entered the car, which
was fairly we'll filed, he observed two
negroes, one of whom was Lundy, in
the act of discussing" a bottle OF
whisky Lundy had the bottle on it's
way to his mouth, when Heflin stopped
him, saying:
stop that! There are ladies on this
car and this is no place to drink. 1t 10
disrespectful to the passengers as well
as against the law. Put that bottle up
until you get off the car.
Lundy's companion attempted to
take the bottle, but failed Lundy then
sprang upon the congressman, who
threw the negro off the back platforms
Of the car. AS the negro rose to his
feet in the street he is said to have
reached toward his pocket, when Hef-
lin, who was still on the car, fired. The
first shot struck McCreary The next
felled Lundy. Heflin then surrendered
to the police.

ONE CONVICT ESCAPES.
Several Make Run; to Gain Freedom
at Anamosa.

at Anamosa.
Special to Times-Repuh!ican.
Anamosa, March 2S.-McAnna and
Gordon, two young fellows sent up
from Polk county to serve two years
for forgery in the Anamosa peniten-
tiary, were foolhardy enough to make
a dash for freedom. They We're en-
ployed at the state quarries, which are
located outside the prison walls, and
no doubt had been planning the escape,
as both started almost at the same
time AS soon as they had left the
dead line" the gun guards got busy
and Gordon threw up his hands and
surrendered. McAnna was not so
easily discouraged and kept on the
run. At one time he was seen to fall
to his knees, but at this time it is not
known whether he was hit by bullet
from the guards rifles or not.
Warden Barr, who was notified of
the escape by phone, soon had posse
of officers on the trail of the fugitive,
and he and Deputy Smith had the
wires working in every direction, and
it is only question Of short time
until he will be captured. There is
no enclosure around the quarry. not
even a board fence, but the ones who
escape have to run the gauntlet of a
force of guards. who are armed with
winchesters, but as the country is
rough and numerous groves near, the
determined man was lucky enough to
escape capture.
Gordon will now have to pay the
penalty of an addition Of five years
imprisonment which the law pre-
scribes for an escape or an attempt to
escape, and the same punishment will
be meted out to McAnna when he is
captured.

cident

Caracas, Venezuela, March 2S.-An-
erican Minister Russell, in note dated
March 81. advised DR.. Paul, the Nene-
zuelan minister, that three pouches o1
official mail for the American crusiar
Tacoma, had been opened in the La
Guairia postoffice. Russell said that IL
was a very serious thing to break the
seal of navy correspondence. ana lie
asked for an investigation. DR.. Paul
answered Russell's note yesterday, en-
closing a report from the LaGualra
nostmaster. He said that the opening
of the pouches was accidental, and due
to the fact that the seals on them were
similar to others in use in the La
Guaira postoffice, and that it was GUS
tomary to open. In addition, Paul said
that only prejudiced mind could call
the occurrence very serious, as the
contents of the pouches had not been
disturbed The incident coupled With
the return of the Tacoma to LaGuaira
today, has caused great excitement in

Gen. Granville NJ. Dodge has pre-
sented to the state Of Iowa one of the
most valuable gifts any citizen has yet
bestowed. He has given five big boxes
full of official correspondence and doc
uments covering the time when he was
in the civil war and during all his pub
lie career This material is a rich mine
of historical material that has not been
available to the public heretofore. 1t
will be classified at once and put in
shape in the historical building.
1t is believed that Gen. Dodges ex-
ample will be followed by many other
public men Iowa has reached the point
in her history where the men most act
i've in the early life of the state are
just now approaching their sunset
Many of these men have correspond
ence and other material that is of very
great value and unless they give this
to the state during their lives it will
be quickly lost after their death Much
of it could not be replaced, if once lost.

New York March 2S.-Bradstreet's S
today says:
The first week of spring has seen an
expansion in retail trade and an en-
largement of operations in building
lines, especially at the west. Trade In
the primary branches is quiet, and op-
erations in Industrial lines are below
normal Fall trade is backward, con-
ditions are still very irregular. and
short or reduced time is practically
universal.
The iron and steel industry does not
show much increase in activity outside
of the seasonable lines, such as nails,
wire and tin plate, which have shown
increased interest for some weeks past.
The textile trade is still depressed,
with short time and wage reductions
common in cotton goods manufacture
north and south. Fear of coal strike
has subsided and buying is less active
in this line. The leather and shoe
trades are irregular and unsettled.
Buying is conservative. and While Or
ders are small they are often urgent
