Three Cases Discovered One of Which Has Already Resulted fatally The Au-thorities Not Alarmed. Paris, April 23. Considerable anxiety was occasioned, here by the report of an out-break of cbolera near Paris. A man living at Puteaux, a village seven miles west had been admitted to the Bean-tern- e hospital where the doctor pronounced his disease cholera. Three other men from Neuilly and Courbevie, both, of which places are only a few miles from Paris, were sub-sequently admitted to the hospital suffering from the same disease. One has since d;d. The authorities declare the cases exceptions and do not fear that the disease will extend. Jfew York Money and Stocks. New York, April 22.

SCUDDER'S CRIME. He Not Only Murdered His Mother-in-la- w but He Also Forged the Will Which was Afterwards Found. Chicago, April 23. Another case has come up in which Dr. Henry Martyn Scud-der, against whom the charge of causing the death of his mother-in-law- , Mrs. Dun-to- n, is pending, is interested. It has refer-ence to the second will purporting to have been made by Mrs. Dunton, and which her husband and attorney assort is a bogus one, drawn by Dr. So udder. Dunton's attorneys this afternoon tiled a petition in the probate court settiug forth the facts in re-gard to the prior will and asking Judge Mighty to take such action in regard to the second document as he deemed proper. The prior will was admitted to pro-bate shortly after Mrs. Dunton's death. In it a portion of the estate was devised to Scudder' s wife and the remainder to other relations. The second will, which the at-torneys allege was prepared and the signa-ture thereto forced by Scudder, leaves the whole of the estate to his wife. Celia Wallace, one of the servants, whose name is signed to the Will, testilied this af-ternoon in court that the paper is not the one signed. It was another paper which Dr. Scudder asked her to sign, and, when she did so, Mrs. Dunton's name was not signed to it. Scudder explained to her 'chat the paper shs signed in the presence of Mrs. Duuton was signed erroneously, hence the substitution of the other. He further told her not to tell Mrs. Dunton abont the second signature lest, in her weak condition, it should worry her. Hannah Johnson, another domestic, testi-fied to seeing the Wallace girl sign a paper, saying it was folded so that the writing could not be seen. She added that Mrs. Dunton, before her death, told her that the resi-dence was to go to Miss Parker, and wanted her to remember that if there was any trouble about it. Experts testified that the signature on the second document was evidently written by a different hand than that which signed Mrs. Dunton's first will. In the criminal court the case against Scudder was continued until May 4th. CHICAGO MARKETS. Chicago, April 22. Close Wheat; steady, cash, ; May, 88. Corn Lower; cah, 40(0.41 4: Mai. 41 .

STORMED ft BARK, The Crank and His Pistol Maker Their Appearance at a Paying- - Tel-ler's Window. The Experience of Mr. Hawley With a Desperate Visitor to the Utah National. GREENBACKS OR GORE. The Robber Promptly Bun Down by Mar-shal Janney and Lauded in the Oity Jail. IDENTIFIED BY HAWLEY, The Prisoner Gives His Name as Charles Randolph All Efforts to Obtain a Confession from Him are Vain History of the Offense. A stray member of the army of cranks who have terrorized the more populous cen-ters and forced the barons of finance to the use of steel armor during the last few months, made his ; appearance at the Utah National bank shortly before 11 o'clock this morning and thrusting a scrap of paper through the paying tellers window demand-ed at the muzzle of An Ugly Six-- S .ooter 250. Paying Teller Cyrus L. Hawley to whom the rather ceremoneous request was addressed dropped like an aeriolite behind the massive panels of the counter where-upon the visitor, finding that he had been baffled, retraced his steps and moved leis-urely down First South. The episode was a thrilling one and in a moment consternation sprea d throughout the confines of the big banking concern. Paying Teller Hawley's Fuce Was as Pale as the face of the dead. The late experinces in Russel Sage's tremendous vaults and their conplete demolition at the hands of the crank, the twenty-on- e thousand dollar in-terview between David Moffat and the dyuainitor both flashed throu ish his brain be- - fore he had time to recover his speech. The attaches gathered around him and the piece of paper with which the visitor had announced his mission was found. It was brief but pertinent as pertinent as the point of the Formidable Looking Six-Shoo- te that emphasized its cheek y demands. Pay me $250 or yon die this minute." That was the legend: It bore no signature while the characters were as well ronuoed, and deliberate as those of a master In the penman. meantime, Jack Taylor, resident representative of the Penn Life Insu-rance company, was trailing the out-witted visitor. His attention had been intuitively fastened on tne fellow as fie" moved from the bank. He dogged his well mease ed and almost lazy steps down First West South until he sighted the Statuesque Form of Marshal Kd. Janney, just issuing with a clean shave from a bar-ber shop. Pointing the tortoise-foote- d fu- - gitive out to the marshal, Jack, at the sug-gestion of the former, who had measured up his customer as a desperate one, fell back to the rear to await developments. The mar-shal himself concluded that it would hurt nothing to move cautiously in the arrest ol a crank who had been desperate enough to undertake to hold up a bank in the Broad Light of Bay-followe-along at about his victim's stride. Turning the corner at West Temple and pointing to Second South, it suddenly oc-curred to the bauk robber that his trail was being haunted. Wheeling suddenly he lev-eled his flashing eyes on the marshal, but evidently failed to identify him in his citi-zen clothes. Then quickening his steps the fugitive pushed forward, his hand clutching His Kight Hip Pocket as he again and again turned to measure up his persuer. Finally the robber reached the doors of the postoffiee, pushed through them and, making an aimless tour of the corridor, was about to emerge when Marshal Jauney closed in on him. The robber made a quick ap-peal to his hip but his captor; got there on rate, and in a second was in pos-session of both Kobber and Pistol. The fellow made no further attempt at re-sistance but having been entraped deter-mined to pursue a more modest course . As is characteristic of this class of crimi-nals the robber began to answer to the ques-tions, cn route, with that dizzy, filmy, spectre- -like lisp that distinguishes some lunatics. He was Adroit enough however to say nothing that would commit him to any charge and neither ad-mitted or denied by word or act that he had exposed himself to the clutches of the law. At police station where the marshal aud his prisoner had now landed another effort was made to spring a leak in the fellow but it was vain Paying Teller Hawley was telephoned for and arriving identified the prisoner as the public spirited citizen who had paid him the visit less than an hour before. He is a Man of Average Hight, with black eyes as hot as coals, dressed gen-t-cll- v in a d:trk suit of cachemere and when questioned gave his name as Charles Ran-dolph, residing at 3o "K" street. Having failed in all efforts to get some confession from the robber he was handed over to turnkey Ralleigh and thrown into a cell. A Times representative made an unsuccessful effort to interview him. He had nothing whatever to say and settling down in sullen silence preferred to await the finger of fate. A reporter went out on "K" street in search of Randolph's Residence, and found that No. 35 given by him was covered by a vacant lot. The grocer who caters to the wants of that locality, was ap-pealed to for the coveted information, but knew of no such man a3 Randolph. He had seen a man with a hebraic countenance who tallied with the description of Randolph but didn't know his name. He described him as a cigarette fiend, however, and in-troduced this as evidence of the fact that he was a crank. In the meantime the officers are turning every stone to determine the identity of the prisoner. CHICACO LIVE STOCK.

HOT WltH OPEN ARMS The British Press is Inclined to View ie Proposed Silver Confer-ence With Suspicion. - . - . The "Times" Says that tho U.S. Treas-ury as a Pig Silver Storehouse is Not Satisfactory. NO GOOD RESULT EXPECTED The British People Steadfastly Opposed to Anything Like the Rehibili-tatio-n of Silver. THE POINT OF VIEW. The "New- - Says the gllafe Delegate Would Have to Go Into the Conven-tion With Hands Tied Position of Chancellor Uotcueu. London, April 23. Tho dispatch received from the United States stating that England had intimated her readiness to join in a con. fereuee to bring about the enlarged use of silver caused much surprise in city circles. No belief is put in that part of the report which states that the bati- - of the conference was formulated here. Many telegrams of inquiry have been re,, ceived by the Loudon Time which toaay says it is not easy to see what "enlarged use" can mean. The Times adds: "A decided majority of those competent tL judge regard the issue of notes based on ail. ver with great disfavor. A certain amount of silver could be employed to increase the intrinsic value of our token currenoy which, at the present price of tho metal i overvalued to an extent considerably greater than necessary or desirable, but the general senso of the community is steadfastly opposed to anything like an at-tempt to rehabilitate silver, The result of the employment of the American treasury ae a pig silver warrant storehouse has nob been so satisfactory as to encourage imita. tion." The daily Jfan thin is such a conference would not be likely to attain practical re-sults. Tho English delegates, it says, would have to go into it with hands tied. It further says Goschen, chancellor of ex. chequer, cannot well go beyond tho plan already proposed to increaoe the proportion) of silver held by the bank of England against notes. pm FREED'S Furniture I Carpet Co, Call and see the BARGAINS we are offering in all kinds of ' - ill (IDS!

THE PRESIDENT'S REPLY To the Appeal of the Hustlers for Fair Play Butlalo Organizes a Home Guard. Washington, April 23. General Schotield has received a telegram from General Brooke at Omaha, saying that Colonel Van Horn and prisoners will reach Douglas tomorrow and be turned over to other troops for rt to Cheyenne. General Brooke says no opposition has been made to the movements of the troops and none is expected. Dexter, April 23. A Xews special from Buffalo, Wyo., gives the text of President Harrison's message in reply to the appeal from the people of that town. The presi-dent says: 'The governor of ycur state made a call upon me, in conformity with the constitu-tion, for aid to suppress domestic violence and threatened bloodshed. I could not know anything of the situation, except as stated by him, and could not refuse aid. The prisoners will, as soon as the state authorities are prepared to receive them, be turned over to the civil authorities, and our connection with the matter will eud, unless further called upon to a:d the state auth-orities In preserving the peace I do not doubt that the executive and judicial authorities cf your state will, without fear or favor, bring to trial and punishment those who have violated the law. Nothing wiU be done to shield any guilty persons. My counsel, as your fellow citizen, is to use every erlort to allay excitement and proceed in all things peaceably and upon lawful lines. I will of course see any representa-tion you may send, but you will see that I can do nothing, except to act with the state authorities to prevent violence. Everything else rests with the state authorities. Bkxjamin Harkison-.- The people of Buffalo are much pleased with the president's reply. Buffalo, Wyo., AprH 23. An organiza- tion of home guards was made Sunday night and 150 armed men belonging to the same are in town. The guards are divided iuto : squads of ten men under a ser geant. The strei ts are patrolled and all travelers are inspected. Rumors are current that bands of invaders are coming from Montana and elsewhere to assist the stockmen. Outposts are on the lookout for there advent. It is feared that the stockmen will renew their raids. These suspected of favoring the stockmen fear violence. Busi-ness is at a standstill, but the streets are crowded, tl o tgh the people are quiet. Sheriff Angus has turned the prisoners in jail over to Colonel Van Horne. No trouble is apprehended, but if the cattlemen con-tinue their raids, no one can tell what will happen. To Ogdeu and Keturn. $1.50 for the round trip on April 28th and 29tb via the Union Pacific.

He Then Has a Few Words to Say on the Chinese Exclusion Bill and Blair's Rejection. THERIGHTSOF ALL NATIONS To Repudiate a Treaty Whenever It Shall Have Become Incompanible With the Public Iuterest. SENATOR PLATT NAILS ONE He Never Announced Himself as in Favor of Statehood for Utah Nor Did He Ever Criticise Governor Thomas Other Washington News. "Washington, April 23. In the senats, af-ter the routine morning business, Teller of-fered a resolution requesting the president to inform the senate what steps if any had been taken towards securing an international conference to consider the question of the free coinage of silver at the mints of the na-tions participating in such a conference or as to the enlarged use of silver in the cur-rency of such countries; also to transmit copies of all correspondence between the United States and the governments expected to participate in the proceedings of such an international conference. Sherman suggested the insertion of the words: "If not incompatible with the public interests." Teller agreed to the suKsestion, although he did not, lie said, see how such a publication could hurt the public interests. The resolution as modified was agreed to. Call offered a resolution (which went over without action) for the appointment of a committee of nine senators to inquire into the present vaiue per mile of the railways of the United States, their present capital-ization and the difference between such capitalization and the actual cost of construction and equipment; their gross and net receipts; the number and com-pensation of their employes; their amount of indebtedness and the capital stocks and amounts of bonds and stock held by the siockholders and bondholders, distinguish-ing between home and, foreign holders. Hoar asked and obtained leave of absence from and after Monday next for the remain-der of the session. It is understood that Hoar's purpose is to make a trip to Europe to consult with the most distinguished specialists on eye diseases. The Chinese exclusion bill was then taken up and Teller addressed the senate. There could not be, he said, any dispute touching the rejection of the United States minister to China. It was an elementary principle of international law that a minister must serve as such with the consent of both nations. Both nations had to consent before he could be minister in other words he must be re-ceived as well as sent. He therefore had no fault to find with the Chinese government because it rejected B'air. It lnd a right to reject him, even on absolutely false premises and without any premises whatever. Coming to the question of the abrogation of the treaties, he said every nation which agreed with another nation, did so with the understanding it might retire from it at any time it saw lit, and it might do so notwith-standing the fact that there was a provision in the treaty that it should continue for a limited period of time. Legislation by a na-tional legislature would set aside any treaty inconsistent with it. Morrill while inclined to believe that con-gress had power to pass a law superseding the treaty asked Teller whether he thought other nations had the same power. Teller thought he had stated explicitly thut all na-tions had that power and said he would have a very poor opinion of a nation which would surrender that aight. Assistant Secretary Bussey appeared be-fore the Raum investigating committee to answer tho assault made upon him by Du-ga- Bussey said that his failure in New Orleans wa brought about by the disas-trous panic of 1873. He settled with his creditors at 25 cents on the dollar, but in less than a year paid them in full. Bussey then read the endorsement of the most prominent men in New Orleans without re-gard to partv, which he had received when an applicant for the position of collector. The committee were so much impressed by Bussey's statement that Dugan's testimony was stricken from the record. Senator Piatt denies most emphatically the statements attributed to him, that he had expressed himself as favoring the admission of Utah as a state, or that he has criticised Governor Thomas for vetoing the World's fair bill. "No one," he said, "has any right to state that I either favor or oppose the ad-mission of any territory into the Union. It would be inconsistent with my position as chairman of the committee on territories vhat I should do so, and you may deny flat-foote- d any statement which asserts that I have expressed myself either on this subject or that of the World's fair bill." Representative Sryan asked the house committee on appropriations to grant a hearing to a committee from the Grand Army posts in Nebraska in opposition to the appropriation of $100,000 for the entertain-ment of the members of the Grand Army at the encampment at "Washington. The hear-ing will be accorded. Senator Paddock introduced six petitions signed by citizens of Salt Lake, praying that, if any disposition be made of the prop-erty'- the Woman's Industrial Christian home, that it be set aside as a soldiers' home for disabled soldiers and sailors. Representative Perkins of Iowa, the leader of the minority of the committee on terri-tories, has received a protest from the minis-terial association of Utah, in which the sign-ers take stronjf ground against either the Caine-Faulkn- or the Teller bills. The house committee on postofHces and postroads has ordered favorably reported the bill consolidating third and fourth-clas- s mat-ter under the head of third class, and fixing the rate of postage at one cent for each two ounces or fraction thereof. Secretary Noble has affirmed the decision of the commissioner la the railroad grant homestead entry case of James N. Davis vs. The Northern Pacific railroad, from Lewis- - ton, Ida., directing that the Davis entry be cancelled. The treasury department yesterday purch-ased 595,000 ounces of silver at $S70.9 0.S797. . THE QUAKE HAS PASSED. One of the Victims of the California Jult Hies The Loss in the Vaca Val-ley from the .Shocks. San-- Fkakcisco, April 23. There has been, no recurrence of tho earthquake in Vaca Valley, where the greatest damage occurred, yesterday. The towns are rapidly recovering from the effects of tho disaster. The de-structive area is confined to a triangle hav-ing sides ten or twelve miles long. Besides Vacaville, Dixon and Winters, some damage was done at Davisville and Woodland. The main streets of Winters are badly demol. ished. All the brick buildings are wrecked or rendered unsafe. Last night numbers of people slept in tents. At Woodland a num-ber of walls will have to be rebuilt. Afc Dixon there was not much damage. A drivo throuarh the effected district shows many demolished chimneys. Similar damage waa extensive in all towns where the quake was felt. It is estimated that the damage will not exceed $100,000. Wick Darby, a laborer, injured by falling brick at Winters died to-- 1 day. .WILLIAMS EN ROUTE The Champion Packs Up His Grip and Leaves for His Training; Quar-ters in Idaho.

Now that the time for the match is nearing, interest in tho result is being stimulated and there will be a boodle of money to place on the champion. Jim is already in fine fet-tle, he having never beeu prodigal enough iu his habits to get really out of condition, and the work of the two remaining weeks will place him in better plumage than he has ever been. His backers should not permit their admiration for him, however, to im-pair their judgment of results.

An Evening With Two Giddy Girls Winds Up With a Bullet in His Back. TOOK HIM FOR A BOLD BURGLAR. Charles Evana Taken for a Burglar and Shot Down by JL. II. Kuntz, a Sales-man The Shooter is Held Under Bonds. Lewis H. Kuntz, hitherto recognized as a quiet, inoffensive employee of the London Tailoring establishment, is today under bonds in the sum of f2500, pending the re-sult of a gun-sho- t wound inflicted by him upon Charles Evans, a San Francisco drum-mer, and an assault with intent to kil1 Arthur Smith, representing a steam fitting house at Denver. There has been a disposition on the part of all the principles in the tragic affair to keep the details from the public, and no one having at a late hour appeared to make complaint it is probable that the effort to hush it up is to be carried further. From all the accounts it is learned that fast even-ing Evans and Smith, accompanied by Mike Connor, a St. Paul theatrical man, wan-dered over to Wonderland, and that while there made the acquaintance of two young girls who consented to accept Evans' and Connor's attentions as far as the front gate. Smith apparently objected to being given a cold, heartless shake on a night that was decidedly nipping even in Zion, and followed the giddy procession down West Temple. At the corner of Fifth South Smith concluded he would watch proceed-ings and stepped behind a tree. At this juncture Kuntz, who occupies a room at his employer's, issued from the dwelling and demanded of Smith what he was doing. Now Smith, it appears, was not prepared to repeat the romance of anight with two giddy nymphs to a perfect stranger, and curtly told him 60. On the other hand, Kuntz was out gunning for burglars, who had been infesting the locality, and finding Smith in this awkward position determined to tree him. He advanced, expressions of rath-er a profane natui e followed, Smith issued a challenge to light it out, and the men clutched, Kuntz drawing his revolver and placing it to hiB adversary's belly. Smith struck the pistol aud its death-dealin- g mes-senger buried itself in the earth. Attracted by the noisy meeting, Evans and Connor hastened back. About this time Smith bad thrown off his antagonist and started to run followed by the others. In the retreat Evans collided with a tree and Kuntz, as he declares, yet under the impression that ue had run across a party of burglars fired. Evans fell to the ground and a crowd soon collected who reported the affair to the po-lice "Tieadquarters, aud while Kuntz was taken to the station Evans was re-moved to the residence of Dr. Stand-art- , where a bullet was extracted from his shoulder. The wound, though not necessarily alarming, will confine the drum-mer to his room for some time. In the meantime Smith declares the as-sault from the first was simply an effort on the part of the shooter to solidify himself with the girls in the case. YELLOW FEVER OX B0AUD..

They Protest Against Gladstone's Position on the Question of Femalo Suffrage Other Notes. Lonpon, April 28. The only matter of in-terest discussed in the political world during the week is Gladstone's letter on woman suffrage, which is bringing floods of protests from woman suffragists. Gladstone's organ, Speaker, says: 'The letter will strike a heavy blow at the woman suffrage movement, which was per-mitted to attain formidable proportions, chiefly owing to the reluctance of politicians to express their opinions on the subject-Repor-ts from Costebcllo are that Queen Victoria is in excellent health and has re-covered from the depression due to the ileath of the Duke of Clarence, which caused the friends of her majesty the greatest anxiety.
