When He Attempts to Kill His Sweathe&rt and Shoots at His Foreman who Discharged Him. Then Fires Into a Group of Citizens and Tries to Kill the Officer Who Arrested Him. Chicago, May 3. Joseph Baker, a brew-ery employe, said to be a member of an oath-boun- d club, killed himself at Douglas, Pa., last night. Andrew Ruddcian, another member, also a brewer- - workman, ha writ-ten a letter announcing his intention to sui-cide. When arrested, Ruddman attempted to kill his sweetheart Eva Diesslar, and shot at the foreman named Meister, who recently discharged him. He tired into a group of citizens and attempted to kill the policeman who arrested him. AN EVENING WITH CARLETON. A Small but Appreciative Audience Lis-tens to the Poet's Lecture. The few people who were present at the theater last evening had the pleasure of lis-tening to one of the most interesting enter-tainers that ever graced the lecture plat-form. Mr. Will Carleton, the poet whose "Over the Hills to the Poor House." is familiar to all, has the advantage of most poets, inas-much as he possesses that rare gift of read-ing without, in the least, tiring his auditors. His selections are lilled with humor, wit and pathos, and each line almost contains a moral well worth reflecting upon. It is to be regretted that Mr. Carleton's agent if he has one neglected to bill more freely than he did, for very few were aware that iSalt Lake was to be visited by such a talented gentleman, and the result was that there were only a few people to listen to his lecture. It is to be hoped that Mr. Carleton will pay us another visit and that Le will draw together a larger audience to hear him give His readings, which are timely and in-teresting. AMUSEMENT NOTES. To-nig- "Robin Hood" by the Bostonians. The Fisk Jubilee Singers open at the Pres-byterian church Evan Stephens has resigned as conductor of the choral society, and the idea to pro-duce "The I.iirht of Asia" this summer has therefore been abandoned. Lack of interest on the part of members of the organization n the work is the cause of the trouble. CONGRESS TODAY. Kyle Addresses the Senate in Favor of the Free Coinage of Silver. Washington-- , May 3. (Senate) After the usual morning business, Morgan called up the president's message on the question of the international conference as to silver coinage. Dolph tried to get action first on the con-ference report on the Chinese exclusion bills but Morgan refused to give precedence to that subject remarking that there was not so much pressure about it that the senator from South Dakota who desired to address the senate might not have the courtesy of appearing. Kyle then proceeded to address the senate in favor of the free coinage of silver. The conference report on the Chinese ex-clusion bill was then laid before the setate. As soon as read Sherman stated that al-though a member of the conference com-mittee he was not able to sign it; he was very willing to provide any necessary legis-lation for the restriction of Chinese labor and thought the senate bill had done so very broodly. At the close of Kiel's speech the message was again laid on the table, Morgan giving notice that he would speak on it. Houbjs After routine business the house went into committee of the whole and the diplomatic and eonsular appropriation bill was considered. The consideration of the consular portion of the bill having been completed without material change, the committee reverted to the amendment offered a few days ago by Chapman of Michigan, providing that no part of the emergency fund shall be paid to any foreign government in settlement of any claim against the United States, which was adopted. WATTERSON AS A PEACE-MAKE-He Averts a Duel Between Belllgerant California Congressman. New York, May 3. A Washington corres-pondent in a story which he sends his paper affirms that a duel between Thomas J. Geary and General Cutting, both congress-men from California, was prevented by the offices of Hon. Henry Watterson of Ken-tucky. A few nights ago, so the story runs, Geary was seated at Chamberlain's, in com-pany with several New York congressman and Colonel Watterson. General Cutting, in a state o; .gitation, came into the room and addressed Geary and his friends. Cut-ting was not acquainted with any one in the party exceDt Geary,, and he did not intro-duce him. This seemed to have annoyed Cutting, and he is said to have displayed a purpose to mingle with the party anyhow, Gearj' ref usiusr to enter into conversation with his colleague. It is said that he first sneered at Geary's Chinese exclusion bill. Then he called Geary a liar and finally ap-plied to him a foul epithet. Then, whie with auger, Geary is said to have risen, and, grasping a patent match safe, with it to have given Cutting a stunning boy on the face and sent him reeling several.' feet backward and drew blood. Recovering .him-self, he advanced toward Geary, and as he did so he threw his hand back of him. This threw the company into a general state of excitement, and everybody jumped to their feet. Colonel Watterson rushed to-ward Cutting, while Geary put his hand into his rear trousers pocket, and some one cried out, "Don't shoot!" but Greary was seized and Cutting was, it is said, gotten out and sent home. J Mr. Geary proposed to have adequate satisfaction, but, so the story runs, Watter-son bestirred himself, and, convincing Gen-eral Cutting that he was wrong and Geary that an apology should suffice, "brought the men together Saturday. General Cutting said he felt inuch ashamed and apologized, and the men are now upon easy terms again. LABOR TROUBLES. Quarrymen and Bricklayers Out on a Strike- - Other Trade Notes. Gloucester, Mass., May 3. The whistles from the Cape Ann quairies calling the men to work yesterday morning did not meet with a response, as a generai 6trike of the grans ite cutters was inaugurated. Notice was sent to the workmen at Rock Point and Peigon Cove. They joined the strik-ers, and some 2000 men are now idle. rs demand 25 cents an hour and nine hours instead of ten.

Two hundred men. on the Kentucky Central and Louisville & Nashville roads, including the transfer hands, switchmen, yardmen, section hands and laborers, have struck on account of a reduction in wages, and predict that all the men along the Hue will join. New Haven, Conn., May 3. Nearly one thousand quarrymen re on a strike near Strong Creek for an advance in wages and reduction of hours of labor.

Melbourne, May 3. Deeming is locked in a cell, heavily ironed and closely guarded to prevent suicide. He slept calmly last night, and resumed writing his biography this morning. Telephone Patents Assigned. Washington, May 3. The commissioner of patents has issued three patenls to Thomas A. Edison, assignor to the Western Union Telegraph covering features of the speaking telephone. The original applica-tion was filed. Owing to the intervention of other appli-cations covering the same invention patents were delayed. The last obstacle to the issu-ance of these patents was the Berliner appli-cation, upon which a patent was issued last November. These inventions of Edison have been granted foreign patents, some of which have already expired, and this raises the question whether an American patent, issued after the expiration of a foreign pat-ent, is valid, application for the American patent having been filed prior to the date of the graut for a foreign pa'ent. This ques-tion will, it is thought, be brought before the L'nited States supreme court, several circuit court judges having decided it In the negative. IN SHORT ORDER.

McLean is in that city, and last night the Cincinnati Ewpiircr's Washington correspondent sent his paper a dispatch to the effect that, with Cleveland's consent, William F. Vilas and Don A. Dickerson are hard at work trying to secure for Chief 'Justice Fuller the demo-cratic presidential nomination. Harrity of Pennsylvania has, it is alleged, gone into the deal, but in New York the promoters of the May convention who protest against Hill are said to refuse to give p the con-vention, and here is the stumbling block. The argument said to have been used was that as the nominee Cleveland would require Western support, which was not forthedm-ing- . Cleveland could not avail, and it put him plainly out of the race. If he abdicted in Fuller's favor, he would make the nomi-nee of the Chicago convention, and control the destiny of the national democracy. The dispatch to the Enquirer winds up: ''However, the announcement for Fuller has taken shape and will go on. Whitney was urged to help it, and the cable was freely used. No set of men, though, will be more surprised than the sponsors, for the new deal in its expose. They may deny it with vehemence, but it is so. Fuller is the alternative of Cleveland, and with Cleve-land's consent." WORLD OF POLITICS. A Lively Time Anticipated in the Il-linois Republican State Convention. NATIONALITY AND RELIGION IN IT. The Mount Pleasant Election Results in a Victory for the Liberal Republicans. The People's Prty In "Haine Perfect an Or-ganization California Republican Meet In State Convention. Springfield, 111., May 3. Delegates to the state convention tomorrow are arriving in large numbers. Fifer's nomination for governor is practically assured; Ray for lieutenant-governo- r, P. C. Ryan for secre-tary of state, Hurtz for treasurer aud Prince for attorney-genera- l, are almost equally sure. There is a lively contest over the auditorship. General Pavey, the present in-cumbent, is being antagonized by II. H. Stassen of Joliet, who is basing his claim on nationality aud religion. It is generally conceded that a German Lutheran should bo on the ticket to reclaim that element of tho party. Charles A. Allen of Vermillion, and A. M. Beaupre of Kano are also in the race. George S. Willitts of Chicago and General T. H. liinakcr of Carlinville are the favor-ites for congressmen at large. Rinaker seem to have formed a combination with Hurtz which promises to beat-youn- "Rich, ard Yates of Jacksonville, the choice of'tho young republicans. The compulsory school question is tSa one which promises trouble for the platform makers, as the leaders are divided on tho question of repealing tho compulsory edu-cation law. THK MOUNT PLEASANT ELKCTIOX. The JLiberal Republicans Klect Their Ticket by Forty Majority. Special Dipatch to The Times. Mt. Pleasant, Utah, May 3. The election passed off quietly yesterday.

The siate central committee meets tonight, and it will draft a resolution endorsing Cleveland. It is practically decided that Vilas, Wall nd Bragg will bo delegates at largo. . . . THE STRANGER WITHIN OUR GATES. It is to be regretted that 6o distinguished a man as Will Carleton, who left for Ogdea today, should not have been given some sort of a reception by one of the literary clubs of this city. Quite a number of literary peo-ple met the genial author of "Farm Ballads" while here, and all were charmed with his unaffected cordiality of manner. It may not be generally known that Mr. Carleton is branching out in the dramatic field, and is now at work upon two plays, besides a novel, a collection of short stories and a book on European travel. These, with his lectures, ought to keep him pretty busy. The poet lectures in Ogden tonight and then goes on to California. Judge Albion W. Tourgee, who has dis-tinguished himself in the literary world by his numerous pen productions, is at the Knutsford, in company with his wife and daughter. Among his most popular and well known books are a "Fool's Errand," "Royal Gentleman," "Figs and Thistles," "Hot Plowshears," "An Appeal to Ciesar," "Button's Inn." "Black Eyes," "Letters to a King," "A Veteran and His Pipe," "John Eax7" "Murvale Eastman," "A Christian Socialist," etc., etc, Judge Tourgee has been engaged during the past six weeks in traveling and preparing advertising matter in the interest of the Atchison, Topeka it Santa Fe railroad to be used at the World's Fair. His accomplished daughter has been engaged in making a number of sketches to illustrate the work, which will include Rio Grande scenes as one of the Santa Fe's con-necting lines. The Judge has been engaged in literary work for the last thirty-fou- r years, and is still as active as ever, he being now engaged in waiting several books, it being his custom to produce one book a year. In addition to his other labors during the past nine years he has been a regular contributer to the editorial page of the Chicago Inter-Ocea- n, his "Bystander's Note" being one of the features of the paper. In 1868 he was elected a judge in North Carolina, which position he filled to his credit. THE CITY COUNCIL Matters to Come Up Before That Body Tonight. AGAINST THE R. G. W-- FRANCHISE.

I FOR EMBEZZLllENf Deputy Marshal Arthur Parsons in California after Charles L. Crain, the Promoter. HE WILL BE BE0UGHT BACK HERE. After a Long Vacation, the Grand Jury Resumed its Labors this Morning. Some Noted Criminal Cases Set for Trial-Look- ing for a Burglar Police Court Proceedings Short Orders. The career of Charles L. Crane in Zion Was brief but glorious. He lirst came before the public some two ears ago as the organizer of the Salt Lake Building and Loan association. Afterwards ue organized the Inter-Mountai- n Abstract company and ttie Sears Liiue and Rock com-pany. As a promoter, Charles was a sue- - j cess, for the various companies started ! through his efforts have all been successful, ! but he appeared to hre little ability as a business manager. He gradually worked himself out of the companies named, and his List venture was the Franklin Avenue variety theater, which started out well, but oou Collapsed. Before the crash came, however, Crane left Salt Lake, and it was Boon whispered that all of his accounts were not straight. By the time this was found to be an actual fact, however, Mr. Crane had been lost track of, and it was only recently th it it was learned that he was sojourning in tho Sacramento valley. Mr. Ritchie, an "tlicial of tiie Salt Lake Building aud Loan association, having made a charge of em-bezzlement against Crane, Deputy Marshal Arthur Parsons was sent to California after him, and he is expected to return to-da- Just how much Mr. Ritchie claims that Crane embezzled is not definitely known, but it is said upon excellent authority that he amount is not a larire one. Mr. ( r:iue lias a wide circle of acquaint-ances here who will be surprised to hear that criminal charges have been preferred against him, and it is attributed more to Ciismanagement than to crimiual intent. Criminal Cases Set. Amor.g the cases set for trial yesterday was that of William Daggett, the ex-cit- y de-tective, whose arrest some time ago on the charge of attempting to rob a Union Pacific employe at the Hot Springs created such a sensation. The trial is now set for May :20th, but at lesst one important witness is absent from the city, and there may be another postponement. Another noted ease is that of Banker G. C. Whitmore of Nephi and William Hill, an of Provo, charged with committing a battery upon William Leonard while the latter was a prisoner in the count- - jail. Leonard, it will be remembered, was connected with the "gold brick" scheme by which Whitmore v. as swindled out of over .$5000. It is al-leged that after Leonard was arrested, Whitmore and Hill tortured him in order to make him confess. The trial is set for May ltth. The trial of B. W. Driggs, Jr., and Alex. Johnson, the two young attorneys who are charged with forging Judge Hoge's name to n note, is set for .May 23. Eliza Fawks and Heber Cooper of Boun-- ' Cful, will be tried on May 23, on the charge cf adultery. It will be. remembered that th woman's husband committed suicide a short therc were ugly rumors of foul play afloat. Still After Hiin. The police are still on the trail of Henry Siefert, the younsr drug clerk who cut such a wide swath in Zion until he fled to avoid arrest. A day or two after his de-parture , the police uuearthed about 5000 worth of goods which he had carried to his home a little at a time from Smith's drug store, and the establishment of the Wasatch Drug company. On the night of April 18th, the latter was burglarized, and Siefert is supposd to have done the work. Sam Park has sworn out a complaint before Judi;e Kesler charging him with burglar- - and the police have sent Siefert's photo to" the off-icers in Colorado, where the young man is supposed to be, and it is not unlikely that he will yet be apprehended. Moore Bound Over. The examination of John Moore, the crook who was arrested on Saturday last for sending saws to prisoners in the county jail, had a hearing before Commissioner Pratt this morning on the charge of assisting prisoners to escape. He was held to await the action of the grand jury, and in default of bonds went back to jail. The Grand Jury at Work. After n long vacation the grand jury re assembled this morning-- and soon set-tled down to work. Among the cases to come before the inquisitors are'those Of J. C. Williams and Mrs. Edith C. Martins, against whom there are charges of adultery, and John Bergen aud Mr. Nelson, charged with unlawful cohabitation. Police Court. Business in police circles was very quiet today, no arrests having been made up to 4 o'clock. In the police court there were six drunks and one vag, sentence being suspended in three cases and one being dismissed. Louis White was one of the unfortunates who did not escape and was fined 5 for drunkenness. Charles McCall got on a 85 drunk and will pay the debt. Fred Rose entered a plea of guiltv of t'runkenness and will be given about fifteen days tomorrow morning. An effort will be made to secure sufficient funds from rela-tives to enable him to take a course at Keeley's. The case against John Roe, who was charged with vagrancy yesterday, was dis-missed .his morning. m The Y.M.C.A. Public Debate. The Ogden Lyceum will meet the Y. M. C. A. debating club on a challenge debate in the Y.M.C.A. rooms, 63 East Second South street. The question under discussion to be : "Resolved, That a tariff for protection is more desirable for the interests of the coun-try than one for revenue only." Mr. Scott Anderson and W. H. Cleare on the affirmative will represent Salt Lake and T. D. Johnson and G. H. Islaub on the nega-tive side will endeavor to uphold the good name that. the Ogden society has earned. An interesting programme has been ar-ranged and a very pleasant time is ex-pected. There will be no charge or collec-tion taken. The public is cordially invited to attend. ANARCHISTS INDICTED. The Publishers of tho London "Common-weal" Are Held. London, May 3. The grand jury has re-turned a true bill against Charles Mowbray, publisher, and David Nichol, editor of the anarchist paper Commonwal, for soliciting and encouraging certain persons to murder Right Hon. Henry Matthews, secretary of state for the home department; Sir Henry Hawkins, one of the justices of the high court of justice; and William Melvillo, in-spector of police. The prosecution is based upon an article recently published in the iP Connection with theconvj-tio- n of Wallsall, an anarclfist. St. Petersburg, May 3.

These inflammatory publications blame the Czar and the Government for the famine and its attendant miseries, and the author-ities are greatly incensed at their circula-tion. A reward of 100,000 roubles is offered for the apprehension of the printers, but so far the police have failed to discover them. MORE LITIGATION. Mrs. Elkn Smith Says Her Marriage is a Failure.

At the time of the blaze the landlady was sleeping In a back room but i 'as, awakened by the dense smoke, which nearly suffocated her. Pushing to the win-dow she attempted to get out, but was pre-vented by the lattice work extending along the north side of the house.

The loss on the furniture was fully covered by on insurance of $3000, arrie d by Louis Hyams in the Helvita Swiss. The building was owned by Mrs. Mary E. Brown of Stockton, and as it was an old adobe structure, the loss is not very great. A WOMAN CRANK AFTER DR. KEELEY. She Demands $1000 He Fears a Dyna-mite Bomb More Free Advertising. Chicago, May 3.

When 3 years of age he asked a lady who called at his father's house to walk in and he would give her a glass of old spirits. She declined, but he persisted and said that Robinson Crusoe often took some. A servant spilled some hct coffee over his legs, and when the lady hostess asked him how he felt, Macaulay replied: "Thank you, madam, the agony has abated." He had a plot of ground marked out with shells, and these the help threw away as rutajmh. "Cursed be Sally," said he, "for it is written, 'Cursed is he that removeth his neighbor's landmark.' " When 7 years old he commenced the modest task or writing a compendium of universal his-tory, and actually drew up a capital outline for the gigantic projection. He did write a theological tract at this time. His poem upon the death of Martyn, the Hindoo mis-sionary, is a most mature production for the boy of 11. He was a fitting father to the man Ma-caulay, of whom Lord Palmerston said: "I should not care if I only felt as positive of anything as Tom Macaulay is of every. thing." A Dynamite Bomb.
