The notdB!a7.zard will case was decided ny Judge Zane this morning.

The children by -- .Jj the legal wife sued for tiie property, and the defendants relied both upon the will and the j statute of limitation, claiming that if the plaintiffs had any right, they were barred. Judg-- : Zane said: Thr findings in the case are changed so as t.i conform to the decision in the Cope case, and allowing all children, both legitimate and illegitimate, to inherit, and the issue upon the statute of limitation is against the plea. 1 am of the opinion that the right of action of the parties' right to the Seventh ward property did not accrue until the younirest child became of age, and since then the statute has not had time to run. The issue is decided against the statute. One of the parties wanted to introduce fur-ther evidence touching the time of the death of Kllen Blazzard. I believe was one of the heirs. An opportunity will be given thn to introduce some new proof as to the time of the death of Kllen Blazzard. DENIED THE WRIT. In the case of Samuel Walker and others against Hector W. Height, Judge Zane de-nied the writ of injunction and dissolved the provisional and temporary order. FILED A NEW HON p. The attorney for Alfred Groves, who is de-fendant in a ease brought by the people, asked to have a new bona substituted for the old one, upon the approval of Commis-sioner decuman. The new bond was tiled with the court. Groves was indicted by the errand jury on the charge of couspiraev. Air. Groves is said to be a lawj-e- r and will conduct his own case. RAN DAI. I. SENT UP Foil A TEAR. Attorney Wiley Brown made a long plea for a new trial for William Randall,who was convicted of felony on Wednesday last. He said he had been surprised at some of the testimony given by. witnesses in the case. Judge Zane said the property which had been stolen had been proved to be in the possession of I'andall and he was of the opin-ion that the jury had sufficient evidence ppon which to convict the defendant. The motion was overruled. The court ordered the prisoner to stand up for sentence. Kan-da'.- l came forward ami after the usual striixir of interrogations. Judge Zane sentenced Kar.dall to one yeir's confinement in the penitentiary. rouse Cornell ox trial. William Cornell, a boy of tender years, was placed on trial on the charge of at-tempted robbery. The ease in which younir Cornel is implicated is fresh in the minds of the reading public. A hackman known as "Dirty Faced Con" Matthews, a rounder'' by the name of Thomas Kobart and young Cornell, induced a miner while slightly the worse for wear, on the early morning of November 30, 1601, to enter Matthews' hack. They drove him out to the eastern part of the city and there in the early dawn ttiw.-ii- to rob him. chirk made au oiitftry and escaped after being terribly beaten. Matthews and Robart were sentenced to seven and six years tn the penitentiary this week. It is expected thai a verdict will be returned this afternoon. ?f KECKED A STABLE. T!ie City of Salt Lake Sued for $"iOOO Damages. William M. Burns today tiled suit in the Third district court against the city of Salt Lake, in which he asks for $2000 damages. It would seem from the complaint that Mr. Burns owned a stable which was situated on First East street between Second and Third South streets. The city of Salt Lake broke into this stable on the twenty-thir- d day of the present month and tore it down and "prevented the plaintiff from enjoying the same as he otherwise would have done." lie city made no excuse to Mr. Burns for its hasty action, so he says, and he wants too for the stable which was, but which now is not. S. H. Lewis has been retained to secure Mr. Burns the $2000. Police Court. Two boys, one of which had a head as long as a carriage horse, answering to the names i of J. B. Burrows and Burt, Sweet responded ' to Justice Kesler's command to stand up this morning. The kids were arrested by Offices Sherman charged with stealing flowers. The officer aforesaid did a great piece of work in capturing these marauders. Having been informed that the flowers had been stolen he at once set out to capture the youthful desperados. With nothing to guide him but the scent of the flowers he took the trail aud with that natural instinct so peculiar to the born detective succeeded 'n running them to the ground. The flowers however were w ilted. So were the boys this morning. Justice Kesler gave them a fatherly lec-ture on the evils of stealing. Little peculat-ion- he said led up to large ones. From the pilfering of posies they would if unchecked drift into the habit of going to smoke-house- s aud stealing hams or burglarizing banks. After securing a promise that they would do so no more he turned them loose. Win. M. Say, a vagrant had li is sentence j suspeuaeu wnne .lot smiu yvas given fit) or ten days.

The committee which has in charge the arrangement for the national convention of the Christian En-deavor in this city July next, is holding a special meeting today for the purpose of discussing arrangements for the July gath-ering. According to reports received it will be the largest religious gathering ever held in this country. Over 35,000 delegates will be present from this country and Canada.

What the Result of the Appeal of the Irish National League Will lie. New York, May 27. Leading members of the local Irish societies seem to be a unit in the opinion that the manifesto issued a few days ago by the Irish national league of America urging unity of action in Ireland as a condition of fiuancial support from the United States will fall upon deaf ears, both in this-ountr- and abroad. During the past two years, so it is claimed, the influence of the national league, which was once a strong and potent factor iu Irish affairs, has de-clined In proportion to the falling off in its membership, until both are today merely nominal. Members of most of the muni-cipal Irish councils say that a uew organiza-tion with leaders of prominence and reputa-tion might be able to exert a strong fntlu-- ; ence, not only in this country but in Eng-- j land, during the coming electoral campaign, but that the national league as it exists to-- j $ay js generally regarded as having so little rwlu'emce that its latest appeal will avail them nothing. A FIRE AT LAYTON. Two Miles North of Kaysville It Burns Down Adams' Sons General Mer-chandise Store. THE LOSS WILL EXCEED $18,000, It is Believed to be the Work of Incendi-aries, Although the Origin is Not Definitely Known. Special Dispatch to The Time. Kaisville, Utah, May 27. At about 11:30 last night a fire started in Adams fc Sons' company's general merchandise store atl ay-to-two miles north of here, and two hours later the building and contents were in ashes. Nothing was saved. The loss will reach at least $18,000. No insurance. The origin of the fire is not known, but it is be-lieved to be incendiary. DESTRUCTIVE STORMS.

A disas-trous hailstorm visited this section yester-day. Trees were cut to pieces, corn and fruit ruined. The farmers are discouraged. A Sorry Fake. Kinsman, Ohio, May 27. The cloudburst reported yesterday from Niles, Ohio, with loss of life and property proves to have been a fake, nothing of the kind occurred. his pain and his troubles. The letter is as follows: Mr. William Graham, Cedar Falls, loica : Dkar On SIN.--I have tried long and hard to And out who murdered your cousin, my wife, 1 have been murdered by ft man I do not know ; I trust my soul to God, and hope I will meet my dear Wife and my boy. The work I had sent to do is gone. I will Only live a few minutes. I have been much wronged in this world, my happiness, my aspirations were ruined by murderous hands. The man that murdered my wife murdered me in this world. The evidence made is reasonably clear that Gier never gave Lewis the slightest excuse for killing him, and that the statement of the deputy sheriff as to (tier's advancing upon him with a gun is wholly and entirely false. But for the probability that Lewis was insane at the time, the annals of crime would be searched in vain for a more brutal and cold blooded murder. The jury simple returned a formal verdict settidg forth that the deceased came to his death f.om the effect of pistol shot wounds, indicted by Lewis. A preliminary examination will be held later on. WHO GIER WAS. As has been stated before in The Times, Gier has been trying of late to obtain the custody of his children, and frequently vis-ited this city. Iu February last the writer interviewed him in the Third district court-room and he made the following statement, which was preserved: My name is J. A. (Jier, and I am at present employed at the Morgan smelter. I was married at Cedar Falls, Iowa iu l.so, and went to the Black Hills with my wife some time after. In 18S9 she was mur-dered. The attorneys were never able to unveil the mystery surrounding her death. Iu January, 1890, my wife's sister came on from Ogden and took my children back with her. In April of the same year, I went to Ogden and found that my sister-in-la- kept a lodging house where variety actors and that class roomed. On finding out the state of affairs, I went to her and said, "My God, has it come to this? Why was I not killed in battle or in the wreck of 1870? Have my children got to mix with this kind of cattle?" At the ttme of this interview Gier, who was about 40 years of age, was somewhat under the influence of liquor, and impressed one with the idea that he was a good deal of a blower, but harmless. His attempt to get possession of his children failed, and he re-turned to Sandy. m . " II STRANGE CBL The Killing- - of J. A. Gier by Deputy Sheriff Lewis Was Without Provocation or Excuse. The Officer Was Evidently Insane and Thought That His Victim Was Aft9r Him. THE CORONER'S INQUEST. Gier's Ante-Morte- m Statement and a Letter Written on His Death Bed. THE SHOOTERS VERSION, He Says Ho Acted in Self-Defens- e, But is Not Sustained ly the Evidence The Verdict. W. H. Lewis, the deputy sheriff who shot and killed J. A. Gier at Sandy yesterday morning, a complete account of which ap peared in last evening's Times, is now in the county jail. He is well known in this community, aud the news of the tragedy created a sensation only second to that eoused by the killing of Ed Montgomery by W. II . Irvine. Immediately after the shooting Lcwi got into a buggy with a friend, who drove him nearly to this city, when he got out and made his way to the county jail on foot. Of course The Times had a reporter at the prison soon after his arrival, and after waiting until 0 p. m. when Sheriff Burt ar-rived, was accorded au interview. Lewis is a Welshman by birth and is 43 years of age. He has resided at Sandy for thirteen years, where be tilled the position of constable for fonr years prior to being appointed a deputy sher-iff. He is a married man and has seven children. Lewis appears to be a man of ordinary intelligence, is under the average height and rather heavy set. When the reporter went up stairs he was l3'ing on a cot, apparently asleep, but came out quickly when called, and in answer to ques-tions put said : "C. D. Rogers, the consta-ble at Sandy, seems to hare it in for me for reasons of which I am not aware, and this man (Jier stood in with him. I understand that (iier came to Sandy from Montana but a short time ago, and from threats made by him, 1 thought he intended to do me up. A few days ago I was at the depot, and seeing Gier, and wishing to avoid trouble, I got out of his way. Since then I have been informed that Gier said I skipped before he could get a shot at me. Last Sun-day' he took to following me up, and from his conduct I became convinced that he in-tended to injure me. He usually had a pis-tol on him, but this morning when I was going towards his barber shop, I saw him there with a rifle. This rattled mc, and I yvent back to Mr. Rudd, the butcher, and Mr. Wilson, and talked the matter over with them. I was tired of having this thing hanging over me, and not yvishing to give him the advantage, decided to arm myself and face matters. They advised me to get a pistol, but told me to be very careful about using it except In case of absolute necessity. I got the pistol and put it under my vest and yvent back towards the barber shop. When I got in front, Gier stepped out yvith his hand on his hip-pocke- t, not a word was spoken, and I at once dreyv my pistol and gave him five shots." "Did he say anything then?" was asked. Leyvis considered a moment and replied, "I believe he said, 'You were too quick for me,' or something like that." "Was he outside of the shop when you shot him?" "Yes." "Then he fell on the street?" "I didn't see him fall at all." "How was that?" "Because I yvent right on as soon as I fired the live shots." "What made you go down to him?" "Well, I was afraid he would kill me and I didn't see any other way out of it." "Why didn't you have him arrested if he made threats against yott, or if you consid-ered yourself ill danger?" "I did what I thought was best." "Were you drunk at the time?" "No." "Were you not drinking in the morning?" "I was in Harriot's, but I didn't drink any-thing." "How long since you did drink?" "Not since " "And (iier did not die until after you lef: ?" "Is he dead?" "Yes; he died this afternoon." "No. I didn't knoyy that he was dead," said the prisoner yvith the most complete in-difference, and without the slightest mani festation of feeling. THE INQUEST. The bodj- - of Gier was removed to the morgue last night, and Coroner Harris held an inquest at the Utah Undertaking estab-lishment this afternoon, benjamin Wate, G. W. Williams and W. B. Booth were sworn as jurors. Attorney Hamilton was present, presumably in the interests of the prosecu-tion, and Ogden Hiles appeared for Lewis. The evidence tended to slnnv that Lewis' mind had been affected through indulgence in drink, and that he was laboring under the hallucination that certain persons, among '.hem Gier, wanted to kill him. J. C. Rudd, the butcher referred to by Lewis, said: Lewis is a periodical drinker, but, recovering from a debauch, is practically insane, and some six months ago he had such a snell and ran un into the hills for miles and acted like a mad dog. He was just getting over a drunk on Wednesday morning last, when he talked to me over the fence dividing our lots. I asked him if he was going up town and he said no, and then asked me if I knew that Vincent, Rogers, R. B. Gravers and Harriot were all down on him, I told him that he yvas mistaken and left him. After-ward- Mrs. Lewis came to my house and told my yvife that she was in fear that Leyvis yvould kill mc all the time we yvere talking, because be bad a pistol in his pocket and suspected me along with the others of being down on him. He came to my shop later in the Sky and talked rationally. Yesterday I was sitting in my shop yvith my boy when I heard the report of a pistol and looking up sayv Leyvis just coming out of Gier's shop yvith a smoking pistol in his hand. He ran out into the mid-dle of the road, shouting something about "the sheriff of this county." I at once ran to the shop, seventy-fiv- e feet off, and sayv Gier just coming out, with the blood streaming from his wounds. He made a statement, which was taken doyvn. This statement, yvhich has not before been made public ,is as follows: My name is Joshua A. trier, aged 47 years; not acquainted with Leyvis; did not know his name. I yvas sitting in my chair, read-ing the paper. I never had any trouble with him. I did not see him till I heard the first shot. He stood in the door and shot four or five times. I said, "You wouldn't murder a man, would you?" I came to Sandy to look for employment. My wife yvas murdered on Sept. 35, 1889. I do not kiunv who killed her, but I suspected a party. I was engaged in raising stock. She had her neck broke in the road near Gier's ranch. My sister came for my children and I followed after her. I saw the man that shot me the other day driving a team. I never had any conversation with him that is my recollection. I know the man and can pick him out, but didn't know his name. I am sure the man that stood, iu the corner Is the man who shot me. A short time before his death Gier asked that a letter be written to his cousin at his dictation. His request was complied with, but beforo he could finish it death ended BURIED AT BINGHAM. Five Minors at the South Galena Entombed for Nearly Two Days WORK OF A KESCTJLNG PAETY. The Comrades of the Imprisoned Men and a Force from the Highland Break Through the Solid Wall. One of those horrible accidents which make the life of the miner so dangerous, occurred at the South Galena mine, at Bing-ham, on Wednesday night. It seems that five miners, with Pat Conroy, the foreman, were working on the 380-fo- ot level, when a cave occurred, and the men found themselves in a living tomb. There was do possible means of egress, and the unfortunate men, not knowing whether or not their predica-ment had been discovered had to face the possibility of starving to death. Fortu-nately for them, however, flic cave was dis-covered not long after it occurred and all of the men employed at the mine commenced to excavate through to them. The task proved so much greater than was antici-pated that assistance was sent for, and the entire force from tho the Highland came over. The men worked like heroes, but yesterday morning it waa feared the imprisoned men were dead, and the rescuing party became discouraged. About this time, however, faint sounds were heard from the place where the unfortunate ones were. They could not be distinguished by any one but an experienced miner, but it told the rescuers that their companions were still alive, and they worked with re-doubled energy. Late last night, their ef-forts were rewarded, and they broke through the wall. The four men were found to bo greatly exhausted, and probably would not have lusted much longer. All were over, joyed over the fortunate result, and tho scene at the mine is described as having been touching in the extreme. A special to The Times from Bingham this morning, states that the men have fully re-covered from the effects of their terrible ex-perience. The accident created a great di al of excitement in the camp as soon as it be came known. OUR LOBSTER ABROAD. He Will Rival the American Hog in For-eign Markets. New York, May 27. Americans traveling abroad will hereafter be able to find live American lobsters in the leading restaurants of London and the continent, a result of the success of the experimental shipment made from Halifax to London a few weeks since. Of the shipment of 3500 crustaceans nearly two-third- s were landed alive, although the voyage was a long and tempestuous one, the lobsters being preserved by means of a con-stant stream of sea water pumped on them from the ocean. So many orders have been received from leading restarauters of Lon-don and Paris that it is probable that fort-nightly shipments of lobsters to London will shortly be inaugurated. EDITORS' ENJOYMENT. A Rattling Time at Sacramento Dutch Flat Tomorrow. Sacramento, Cal., May 27. The dele-gates to the national editorial convention have been handsomely entertained here to-day. Tomorrow morning they will leave on two special trains for Dutch Flat, where there will be a practical exhibition of hy- draulic mining and quartz crushing. Brief visits will also be paid to Colfax and Grass Valley. Tomorrow night the delegates will return here, and, after a farewell party, will depart by different routes for their respec-tive homes. There is a general concensus of opinion that the excursion and conven-tion have been the most successful in the history of the association. WILL DEMAND AN INVESTIGATION. Electric Light Companies Will Not be Per-mitted to Sandbag the Word's Fair. Chicago, May 27. The scandal crowing out of the attempt on the part of the electric light companies to sandbag the World's fair out of nearly half a miilion dollars will not down, and there is now talk on the part of heavy stockholders of calling a meeting for the purpose of demanding a thorough investigation, no matter who may be im-plicated. Leading members of the commit-tee, including some whose names are of national repute, aud who are identified with corporations whose ramifications extend H-alo nearly every city, village and hamlet in the country, are already tumbling over each other in their eagerness to proclaim their ignorance of any knowledge of any under-handed methods, and their desire to do only what is right and just in the interest of the enterprise. Those who are behind the scenes, however, ety that when the full story comes out there will be developments as unexpected as they will be startling. . A MONETARY CONFLICT. Silver Dollars at a Discount Owing to Large Importation From Spain. Havana, May 27. Owing to a heavy im-portation of silver from Spain, over 0 having been received since the com-mencement of the year, another monetary conflict has arisen. The majority of retail tradesmen will accept the dollar only for 95 cents because of the discount in silver as against gold. In some parts of the interior Mexican silver is only accepted at 70 cents on the dollar. LAKE'S CHURCH. 0 ted Presbyterian General A?s5m-Decid- es to Build One Here. DR. BRICG'S TRIAL COMMENCES. Methodist's Object to Having Individual States Interfere With Religion Do-ings in the Religious World Today. Pittsburg, May 27. In the United Pres-byterian general assembly this morning the committee on prevalent evils and means of reforming them, reported at great length on Sabbath desecration by railways, news-papers, mails, secret societies, murder, di-vorce, social evil, theaters, church lotteries, and gambling. The report recommended that the clergy boldly and openly make themselves acquainted with these evils in order to be able to effectually combat them. It was decided to build a church at Salt Lake City. The report on religious interests in the army and navy urged" congress to pro-vide an adequate number of chaplains in the army. Dr. Briggs on Trial. Portland, Ore., May 27. At the opening of the Presbyterian general assembly this morning the report of the committee on church extension was received and adopted. The assembly was then constructed as a court for the trial of the case of Dr. Briggs. Atresojution was introduced by Struvell, of iontanar.looking to the return of the Briggs ease to the presbytery of New York. Amend-ments were offered slightly modifying this action but with the same object in view. The parties were allowed to withdraw to ar- - raairc a plan that shall be mutually accept-ably. While they were consulting the read- - g fi the report on revision of the coufes-sPOffo- f laith was taken up. Church nnd State. Westminister, Md., May 27.

ITALIAN CRISIS. Tho House of Deputies will Probably be Dissolved to Save the Cabinet. Rome, May 27. The cabinet has resigned. The king refused to accept their resigna-tions. A dissolution of the chamber of dep-uties is believed to be imminent. The resig-nations is the result of the narrow margin in the vote of confidence in the house yes-terday. The cabinet has been in existence only since the 15th instant. HIT WITH A BOTTLE. Will (iroestpck Meets a Waterloo as tho Result of a Quarrel. While the intelligent reporters of the an-cient b.istories were dreaming that they were interviewing the murderer of Gier, and wero engaged iu rehashing The Times' account of the Irvine-Montgomer- y tragedy at Lin-coln, they were overlooking the important news of the city. However, the public will not be disappointed for this paper will keep everyone posted on the important happen-ings of the day. Last night about 0:30 Will Groesbeek and Walt Dinwoodey engaged in playing billiard at the Walker house, and at the end of tho game a dispute arose as to the number of drinks w hich had been served. Groesbeek cluimed that the number charged was greatly in excess of the number served aud a gen-eral discussion ensued in which blows were exchanged. Walt Beattie tried to straighten matters out but Groesbeek hit him and knocked him to the floor. Groesheck sur-mis-that he had put his man to sleeD ''M such was not the case for Beattie picked fl a soda bottle and gave his antagonist a ' Am over the head with it that knocked him lUAW Dr. Meaeham was called to H injured youth.

At the latter place they will go aboard the Kite which has been chartered for the purpose of the expedition, and leave at once for the northern waters. . . , MORE GREEN C0ODS. A New York Dealer Makes the Usual Generous Oner. The horse editor of The Times has receiv-ed a proposition from 6ome party in New York, by the provision of which he can get rich provided some one will stake him to money enough to enable him to go to New York city and make a purchase. Tiie proposal is printed in typoscript and reads as follows: STUldXr CONFIDENTIAL. My Dear Sir: I am desirous of obtaining a good, shrewd agent in your locality to handle my 'Goods." I enclose herewith a newspaper clip-ping which gives all the information that could be desired, and which explains itself. Thinking you are in a position to safely handle my goods, I have concluded to write you. If you don't care to invest in this entemrise I hope you will excuse the liberty I have taken in making the proposi-tion. If j on have b jen nnsucces-fu- l in your bus-iness. 1 can supply you with goods with which you can pay off ali your debts and startfree and clear again. You can purchase mortgages, etc. An opportunity like this te make an independent fortune has never crossed your path before and in all probability never will again as long as you live. It was never intended that one man should have millions of dollars and another nothing, so don't thrjw away this chance to get riches, Others have grown rich around you. no one knows how. Why not help yourself T If you have not the ready money to purchase my goods, 1 would consent "to your taking some confidential friend in with you, provided, of course ne is trustworthy and could keep a secret- - You can both come on together and make the ileal. However, you would be very foolish to take anyone in with you if you could raise money enough yourself, if you con-clude to embrace this ''golden chance" and my business should suit you, it will be absolutely neeessi.ry for you to come on here and see me iu person. 1 only deal face to face with my cus-tomers. Experience has. taught me that this is the safest and most satisfactory way for both. When you meet me you fe what you are buying and I see who 1 am dealing with, consequently we both feel better satisfied. I do not ask nor expeci to be paid one cent until you have examined my en-tire st i k, selected what you want, and the goo Is ar in your possession. You must carry the goods aw ay with you, and if you desire it I will see you safely out of the city. I can t consent to sending goods either by express or mail. I know it is qii-t- e a journey for you to make, but look at the immense profits to be made with no risk whatever, ;m('rf far as expenses are concerned I always make .iilibera allowance to cover them. Make up yoer niindjp coine on at once, i know yon will always lobs hack to yonr trip to see me with pleasure and profit. My goods are first-clas- s in every parti' ular. and as tine ks the newspaper article speaks of.

Tomorrow afternoon Dave Levy will jrive his dogs a trial run at the Exposition grounds. Everything is in readness for the. big coursing run on Monday. SULLIVAN PLEASED. He Thinks Casey Is a Fine Trainer and Speaks of Corbett. Sullivan is highly pleased with his new trainer, I'hil Casey. The big fellow now weighs 234 pounds, stripped, and speaking of Corbett a few da3-- s ago he said: "I will not so underestimate Corbett's ability as to say that he will be an easy mark for me. Of ' course, I expect to win, but in Corbett I will, I think, find one of the best men whofh I have yet been up against. From what I can learn, both through others and my own ob-servations, I have come to the conclusion that Corbett is a gentleman and a very fair tighter. I see much to admire in him. His ambition to obtain the ehami ionship is a laudable ene, and one that does him credit. ' I am sorry he is an American. I would rather tight a foreigner for the title. At any rate the best man will win. The Corbett battle will be my last appearance in the ring that is, to a finish." A Chance for Williams. Billy Woods, the Denver heavy weiglrr who was here with Jim Hall some time ago, has written a letter to Col. Kelley in which he says he would like to meet Jim Williams at any time before any of the large clubs. We think that the Utah boy can knock Woods out, but he is under no obligation to fight men who weigh 00 pounds while he tights at 15b. Sporting Splinters. Bill England, a noted London pugilist, who fought George Kooke In New York seven years ago, is dead. A Chicago machinist has patented a new form of geared ordinary, which is said to be a great success by the experts who have ridden it. The Salt Lake Gun club will shoot a match at Nelson's, on the State road, today. The crack shots will all be there and some lively work is expected. Fitzsimmons says that if Sullivan beats Corbett, he will allow the big fellow to en-joy the honors, for he thinks he deserves them. That's kind of Fitz. Lord Lonsdale ha? consented to act ,as timekeeper for Jackson in the forthcoming fight with Slavin. Tiie latter is down to weight and has let up with his training. J'rnniy Carroll insists that he wilt tight the winner of the MeAuliff-Meye- r tight. He has been beaten by both of them, but Says that the contests were not at regulation weights. The San Francisco city council has passed an ordinance prohibiting bicycle riding on the sidewalks or in any of the public squares between 6 p. m. and 6 a. tn. Cyclers must also carry a lighted lamp at night and a horn or bell in day time. The articles of agreement signed by George Dixon call for a tight to a finish, the winner to take 5000 and the loser 500. Marquis of Queensbury rules govern, and the feather-weight- s must weigh in at 117 at 8 p. m. of June 20th, the day of the fight.

A Betrayed Husband. Vfron-a- , May 27. A man named Marche-sin- i surprised his wife with her lover, an army lieutenant, whom he shot and killed. The parties are in good position, and the af-fair created a sensation. Commercial Travellers in Session. Toledo, O., May 27. The grand council of Ohio of the order of United Commercial Travellers assembled in annual session here today with delegates present from fourteen councils. The annual report showed that the order is making considerable progress in this state. Tomorrow the first parade of the order will occur with about two thous-and people in line. . Interesting Individualities. It- is stated by an eminent French genealo-gist that the Comte de Paris is a direct de-scendant of the infamous Lucretia Borgia. Josenh Murphy is put down as the richest of setoffs. He is said to be worth about 450,000, and is one of the most economical of stage artists. Archbishop Kenrick of St. Louis, who is failing in health and of advanced age, was one of the prelates who opposed the dogma of immaculate conception, and he probably missed a cardinal's hat b3- - his opposition. Dr. Friedrich Herrmann, who died recently at Heidelberg, was for forty years surgeon to the university students, and almost daily was patching up wounds of duelists. He is said to have been present at thirty thousaud duels. Peter Avrell Browne Widener, the traction twenty-millionair- was named for Peter A. Browne, one of Philadelphia's most learned lawyers. Mr. Widener's Broad street "pal-ace" stands near where he used to stand in his mutton stall iu the Girard avenue market. Editor Cockerill, of the New York Adver-tiser, tells the story of the famous interview alleged to have been had by a reporter of the New York World with Cleve-land, and plainly intimates that in the printed report thereof the truth was badly fractured by the reoorter. Prince Paul Borglrese, head of the once wealthy family, is now Irviag tn a villa near Auzio. The courts have allowed him an in-come of 2400, an amount hardly equal to his daily income in the days before the mis-fortune. The debts of the family, it is said, amount to $7,400, 000, while the estates, pal-aces and other property still in their posses-sion are estimated to be worth about 5,000,000. M, Gustave Droz, the author of the charm-ing book, "Monsieur, Madame et Bebe," well known to American readers, was one of the thirty-si- x jurymen included in the panel from which twelve men were to be drawti to sit as jurors in the famou Ravaehol trial. The prosecution and the defense are priv-ileged to reject twelve men on the panel. M. Droz was ill at the time, aud was ex-cused. The Czarowitch is coming to America eaily in June for a few months. The Emperor of Russia wishes his eldest son to marry at once; but the Czarowitch alto-gether declines to contemplate a permanent settlement in life, and it is hoped that another distant tour may lead him to change his views on the subject. He has given his father a great deal of trouble during the past two years, and is the cause of much anxiety. King Alexander of Servia must be a very unhappy lad. The other day the regents pounced upon his dairy; but, to his own luck, there was nothing to vilify his perse-cutors, but everything to satisfy his mother and father. King Alexander has just taken his degree as a student of the Belgrade uni-versity, in the presence of all his guardians. In the operations referred to, it is said, on good authority, that one of his most con-spicuous guardians used a false key. Reed's fondness for the bicycle is not the fleeting fancy of a summer day. Though in Washington he preserves his dig-nity by riding decorously on a safety, lie has practiced assiduously at his home in Portland on a fifty-six-inc- h wheel. All this practicing, however, has been done dnder the friendly veil of night, for there is a story that the rotund congressman once took a header from his high wheel, with a result so disastrous that he has been coy ever since. It happened, by some curious chain of circumstances, that all but one of the seven surviving of the national house of representatives were in Washington together, a yyeek or so ago. Robert C. Win-throp- , the oldest of them now a man of 83 years paid his respects to the president, while Galusha A. Grow was there on busi-ness, and J. Warren Keifer appeared on the floor of the house for a short time. Mr. Blaine, Mr. Carlisle, and Mr. Reed were in the city, and only N. P. Banks was absent. Congressman McKeigan of Nebraska is said to live in a sod house. This singular dyvelling, which contains three rooms, is boarded over a frame-work- , which is then entirely covered yvith thick sods. It is not an uncomfortable abode, for it is yvarm in yvinter as well as cool in summer, and the danger to its occupants in case of cyclones is minimized. Mr. McKeigan is regarded as a very original and interesting man in Washington. He has been a farmer, a sol-dier, and a judge, and is a ready debater, es-pecially on matters pertaining to the tariff. Of the poet-artis- t Hamilton Aide, whose latest book deals largely yvith America, a London paper says: "Ho went with the Stanley party through the states after the rescue of Emin and he has in his possession his original drawings of nearly every point he visited in America. Mr. Aide is of Greek origin, as his name would indicate. The proper pronunciation is His father was an Armenian, and held a high rank in the Greek diplomatic service, being a delegate to the Vienna conference. His mother, however, was of a true-blu- e English family, He isjustoO, but he looks about 40." An Assassin Tracked by Illoodhounds. A Macon--, Ga., May 27.

Vandcrbilt, old-est sou of Cornelius Vandcrbilt, were held today. The interment took place in tho Moravian cemetery at Neyv Dorp, Stateu, Island, the Vauderbilt burial ground. a AMUSEMENTS. There was a slight falling off in the at-tendance at the Thea'er last night, but none in the enthusiasm. "The Merry Monarch" is a bright burlesque and staged as it is in such a sumptuous yvay, it is a great drawing card. Aside from Francis Wilson, Miss Lulu Glaser appears to be the favorite. She in-fuses into the character of Lazuli a charm which appeals to the masses. Her charm-ing figure, fascinating voice and graceful movements, coupled with a syvect tempered voice make her the center of attraction. Tonight closes the engagement and the company will leave for San Francisco where they open Monday night. Last night was the opening of "The M-ikado" seasou at Wonderland and a crowded house greeted the performers at each per-formance. J. K. Reynard in the title role created any amount of merriment and applause. Adel Esle, Rose Southern aud Etta Poole as the "Three Little Maids" yverc charming and carried off the honors. The remainder of the cast was in excellent tiad-IO- the bright opera yvent with a vitVand flourish characteristic of its popu-larly.

Streight, who planned the historic scheme by yvhich he and a hundred and seven others escaped from Libby prison during the war, died here this morning. He Spoke the Truth, tfcicago Truth. He had a feyv days' growth of beard on his f.Xe and his hair yvas pretty long. He pissed his hand over his cmn, anil w ith a siludder said: 1'Gcorge! I must get shaved." Vl ought," returned his friend medita-tiilly- , "but I guess I'll let it go today. I neiar bothered to shave myself, you know, andU hate to get into a barber's chair." "f d rather be in a dentist's. Why is it, I waiter r 'A don't know, but I never knew but one rrd?W"vho didn't positively abhor a barber sftop." '"You know one ?" asked the long-haire- d mjan. in surprise. ( h, yes; I knew one who was rather fond of it." "i.iked the smell of pomade and all that r "He seemed to." "Didn't mind having a stranger payv his f.ice all over?" "Apparently not." 'Enjoyed the remarks and jests that a barber makes when he has the razor around y.kur throat so that you can't protest?" f'He acted so." "Didn't get nervous when the barber stopped stropping his razor to gossip yvith some one at the next chair?" "Not at all." j"How about the suggestion that a hair-cut, a shampoo, and seven kinds of hair tonic were necessary?" "He generally took them." "And liked it"?" "He went to a barber shop on .every possi-ble pretext." The long-haire- d man looked at the other doubtfully a moment and then asked: "What asylum is he in noyv?" "Kankakee." The long-haire- d man shook the other by tho hand in the manner of a man yvho had done someone a great injustice and wished to make it right. "I beg your pardon," he said. "For a moment or tyvo I thought you yvere a liar." ..I m . Slumming Needed at the Capital. Washington Post. There can be no sort of question as to the merit of the missionary and reformatory work which certain excellent ladies have set out to organize in dark and degraded sec-tions of the national capital. There is a great field in this city for what is known as "alley yvork" in localities oyer yvhich the shadows of ignorance, poverty,, aud con-ditions nearly approaching those of barbar-ism have long hung like a pall, but which are yet the abodes of humanity, susceptible to a kindly greeting, a welcoming hand, a yvord of sympathy, and the influences of well-directe- charity. The philanthropic people of Washington can lend their help to no higher or worthier cause than that yvhich proposes to invade the homes of yvretchedness and misery yvith missions and peace. j - Packing Houses and Stock Pens. Dallas, Tex., May 27. The Butchers' National Protective association decided to locate their packing houses and stock pens here. . a Portugese Ministers Resign. Lisbon, May 27. Finance Minister Mar-tins Mifiister of Public Works Chancellelros have resigned. Protection Is and Alyvays was a Fraud. Philadelphia Kecud. Tariffs are now leveied, averaging 00 per cent, upon the articles on yvhich duties are laid, under the pietense of maintaining higher wages, than would otheryvise be paid, while at the same time reducing the cost to the consumer of protected 6tuffs! As wages wcte higher in this country than in other countries when there yvas no protection, and as the price of labOr is always determined with reference to supply and demand and the cost of living in occupations where the laborer is his own employer, it is manifest that the cry of "protection to labor" is a fraud. There can be no such thing. "Pro-tection" is what it was at the start a means of giving the home manufacturer an advan-tage to be paid for out of the pockets of his fellow citizens. THE SILVER CONVENTION. A Delegate who Prefers Queen Victoria to Grover Cleveland. Washington, May 27. The silver conven-tion met again this morning. Addresses yvere made by Shinn of Kansas, P. K. Thomas of Pennsylvania. The latter said ten years ago his farm was yvorth $10,000; by the labor of himself and family he has been able to save 500 a year since, but the farm continually depreciated in value. It is noyv worth only $5000. This shrinkage, he said, was due entirely to the pernicious financial system operated in the interest of BOO y lenders, corporations aud monopo-lies. He denounced both political parties nnd said rather than vote for Cleveland yvith his free trade ideas he would vote for Queen Victoria for president, and rather than vote j for that hypocritical, yveak-knee- d republican ' party he yvould vote for Cleveland. Mer-rick of Colorado explained the constitutional point in the case recently decided by the su-preme cojurt of the District of Columbia against the application for mandamus to compel the Secretary treasury to receive coin in silver brick tendered him.

J . . . i Salisbury Merely Trying to Catch Votes. New York Times. Lord Salisbury's remarks at Hastings do not differ at all from Lord Salisbury's re-mark's at at a dozen other places and upon a dozen previous oecasions, except in re-spect of being more outspokeu. They are more outspoken simply because there is & general election impending, and it is desir-able to achieve the result yvhich in this country yvould be known as "catching tho granger vote." In England the process would be knoyvn as appealing to the agri-cultural interest. w ClaAson Calls on the President. Washington, May 27.
