The deceased was in her Tooth year and was probably the oldest woman resident of the city, be- ing one of the first five settlers in the city.
 About five weeks ago she fell down a flight of stairs, fracturing her hip, which hastened here death. In the opinion of her physician, Dr. Thomas F.

About sixty years ago she and her husband came to this city and settled in the North End. The deceased lived and died under the same roof which sheltered her the first day of her life in this city. MT. Ky burn at first engaged as an expert cabinet maker, but later went into the grocery business with his wife in Frank street, which after MT. Ryburn'e death in 1877 was conducted by their son John. who has since gone into tn 3 real estate and fire insurance business. Mrs. Ryburn was always a woman of sound judgment and good common sense, of good living. eating sparingly and well. Besides leaving two sons she is survived by fourteen grand children, five the children of John J.. seven the children of William H., Miss Rose Clampitt and Miss Minnie DeS- mond, children of her deceased daugh- ters.

pulpit Preaching on ''The Crown of Life" he said:
 sOne man have in mind, who had done all in his power to aid others about him, found that at their first op- portunity these same friends took the sword and tried to pierce his side. Not content with this, they passed the sword around and each pressed it into his side, and at length passed it to a woman, who drove it into the gaping wOund.'
 At the conclusion of the service he announced that during his farewell sermon in the evening he would tell the full story of his domestic woes. The evening sermon was never preached. Just before he left town MT. Dane said:
 Much said about me is untrue. They say I drove my wife from the house and locked the door on her Thursday night. It is untrue. I have many women friends in my congrega tion, but my wife, I fear, has been jealous. I have always loved my wife and been kind to the children and to her, al- though we were not mated and never should have married
 He also said he would not contest the divorce, but would fight for the cus- tody of his two little children.
 The troubles of the Danes had been now furnish the principal subject of discussion in Woodbury. It is known that Mrs. Dane accuses her husband not only of improper conduct with sev- eraI women members of his flock but of physical cruelty to herself and her children. The minister denies all the charges.

Col. Hoffman Guarding Ev-

Creeks Are Thought to Be Hiding in the Tiger Mountain Range-Nine- ty-four Prisoners Have Been Taken to Date.
Special from United Press.


 Pierce, Okla, March 31. Reports that Chief Crazy Snake had surrender ed to the troops under Colonel Hoff- man last night have been pronounced incorrect. It is said the Indians are on Tiger Mountain and the soldiers are conducting a search for them. The report of the surrender was due to a second message sent to Sheriff Odun1 which said he would surrender If ta- ken to Miskogee instead of Eufaula.
 The Indians are believed to be hid- den in one of the ravineS of the Ti- ger. Range. Colonel Hoffman, fear ruse and that Crazy Snake was really attempting to escape into the Choc- taw country to the south, has guard ed every ford on the river. Scouts surround the Tiger Mountains.
 Dana Kelsey, Indian agent, and Geo. front. Friendly Indians have been sent to Crazy Snake in an effort to induce him to surrender.
 The total number of prisoners taken have been sent to the towns and lock- ed up. Fifty heavily armed negroes left Faulkner Tuesday night and were supposed to have waited in ambush at the bridge on the Checotah. The There has been much more feeling against the negroes than against the Indians who have joined the uprising, and it is feared the farmers may at- tempt to take the law into their own hands.
 Human bones were found in the ruins of Crazy Snakes hut at flick ory Ground and it is believed all the Indians did not escape after the fight diers and fifty deputies engaged in the hunt

But Leaders Are Afraid to Force a Vote Upon the
 Main Question.
Sentiments of Majority An
 Unknown Quantity.
Conference of State Delega- tions to express Senti- ment-Iowa Wants Sep arate Vote on Many Schedules-Long Speech eS Cut Down.

Washington, March 31-A1though most of the members of the House are heartily tired of the long drawn gen. eral debate on the tariff bill. Repr .k sentative Olmstead. chairman of the committee of the whole. still has down nearly eighty names of members eager to speak. It is understood that there will be no further extension of the privilege of unlimited time. Most of the speeches this afternoon and to- night will be held down to twenty Der of the eighty will not d>liver their speeches except through the Congress sfonal Record.
 No rule will be reported tomorrow to set a day for a vote on the bill. House leaders are at sea as to the tariff sentiments Of the majority and they will get definite information on that subject before taking action. State delegations are holding meetings to agree upon statements of their desires and these are being forwarded to the Committee on Rules.
 Iowa has declared for separate vote upon half a dozen different schedules and Illinois has voted in favor of a caucus. The latter is impossible be- cause of the divergent sentiment among the Republicans But it is pos sible that there may be a decision to hold a conference.
 A long session of the Ways and Means Committee was h(d to-day. Outside the locked doors. the hallway was crowded with lobbyists represent ing interests that want better terms in the Payne Bill.

(By Our Staff Correspondent)
 Hartford, March 31.-Judge William J. Malone of Bristol. one of the House members of the Judiciary Committee. gave notice to-day that he would like to have the four resolutions pertaining to the Bridgeport City Court. relat ng to the appointments of Foster. Hull. Wilder and Gould, tabled until to- morrow, when it is expected the House will decide between the two slates rep resented. In the Senate. to-day. a sub stitute resolution, appointing Carl Eos ter. judge, and Frank L. Wilder, deputy judge. of the city court, for two years from the date of their appointment. was passed. Senator Searls said that this action was taken because there was a question raised as to the validity of the action taken by the Senate last week. when the favorable report of the Judiciary committee was rejected naming Hull and Gould and was amended by substituting the names of Foster and Wilder.
 It seems settled that Judge Malone will lead the fight in the House to- morrow in favor of Foster and Wilder. Both sides are working hard to-day, lining up their champions for to-mor- rows battle.

Measure Was Found Wrap ped in Petition of Bridge port Hydraulic Co.,,
 Which Was Rejected. Committee on Cities and Boroughs Never Acted Upon City's Bill, Nor
 Did House, or Senate. Nobody Seems to Under stand How It All Happen ed - Company's Petition Was to Assembly Not to Hear Bridgeport's Pro posed Water Purchase Act.
By our lsta1f corea)


 Hartford, March 31.-Much surprise the House and Senate. in an informal way, when it was learned that, what some thought an unexplained attempt to the charter of the city of Bridgeport without action. was interrupted.
 It had been elaborately announced that the committee on Cities and Bor- oughs had reported the amendment ad- versely. The committee report, or came into the Senate today, and the Senate concurred with the House.
 It was then learned that the commit tee on Cities and Boroughs never had reported the Bridgeport amendment;
 They had considered and reported the petition of the Bridgeport Hydraulic Company. This report was sent into the House. It is this report that was acted upon by the House and also by the Senate.
 The petition is the one in which the Hydraulic Company asks the General Assembly not to consider the charter amendment for the purchase of water works offered by the city of Bridge com1nittee has declared ought not to pass, and it is this petition that has been rejected.
 Strange to say, however, the amend ment offered by Bridgeport could not be found either in the box of the clerk of the committee or among the papers of the clerk of the House.
 After a search, however, it was found bundled in with the petition of the Bridgeport Hydraulic Company.
 It had never been acted upon by the committee on Cities and Boroughs, by the House, or by the Senate.
 Nobody seems to know just how it all happened.
 At any rate the bill will now be considered in a proper way and will at least enjoy the privilege of formal consideration.
