Akron; 0., April 6.—Ira Stillson, the
hired man of Alvin N. Stone, who was
assaulted by the same person who killed
Stone and his wife a week ago, Satur-
day night, died this afternoon. He was
never able to give a clear account of
the tragedy, saying during the brief in-
terval that he was conscious that he
remembered nothing of the assault
upon himself- ______
Washington, April 6.—This promises
to be an exceedingly lively week in the
house. To-day the house will vote on
the adoption of the conference report
on the Cuban resolutions, which was de-
bated on Friday and Saturday. It is
a foregone conclusion that the report
will be adopted by an overwhelming
vote, but it is probable that there will
be more members recorded against it
than the passage of the original reso-
lutions.
Immediately afterward an effort will
be made to pass the river and harbor
bill under a suspension of the rules.
The bill carries something over $9,000,-
000 in actual appropriations, but au-
thorizes contracts for almost $40,000,-
000 additional. The Democrats would
like an opportunity to attack the bill
because of the enormous charge it
makes upon the treasury in the future
and they will make all the resistance
they are able to. Under the rules, how-
ever, their opposition is not likely to
be effectual, and moreover, there are
many features of the bill in which in-
dividual Democrats are vitally inter-
ested.
Following the passage of the rivers
and harbor bill Mr. Pickier, chairman
of the invalid pensions committee,
probably will call up one of the general
bills reported by his committee. There
are two election cases to be decided, one
of which will unseat Judge Cobb of the
fifth Alabama district. By Wednes-
day it is expected the fortifications
bill will be completed and it will prob-
ably occupy the attention of the house
for the remainder of the week.

Madrid, April 6.—A terrible fire has
occurred at Manilla, in the Phillipine
islands, by which 4000 houses were de-
stroyed and 30,000 people left home-
less.
Manilla is the capital of the Phillipine
islands and has a population of 100,000,
or with the surburbs 10,000. It is one of
the great emporiums of the ese:. The
principal public buildings are the ca-
thedral, the palaces of the governor
and the archbishop’s beautiful town
house, ten churches of different relig-
ious orders, several monasteries, con-
vents, the arsenal, three colleges for
young men and two for young women, a

school, a large theater, a custom-house

Mr. Raymond Schumacher, one of the
witnesses called at the Pretoria trial,
apparently bothered the state attorney
almost as much as Mr. Samuel Weller
bothered Mr. Serjeant Buzfuz. After
a tremendous wrangle as to whether
he was compelled to tell the court his
ideas as well as the things he knew to
be facts, the following little dialogue oc-
curred: “Then I must give my ideas?”
“Yes.” “Does, the state attorney want
all my ideas?” “Yes.” “Then I do not
remember what my ideas were.”—Lon-

Washington, April 7.—Judge Brown
of Greer county appeared before the
judiciary committee of the house yes-.
terday morning in advocacy of a bill
to ratify the acts of the courts and offi-
cers of Greer county while if was be-
ins controlled judicially by the state 'of
Texas.
The bill not only ratifies and affirms
all that has been done by the courts
and officers of the county, but provides
that the governor of Oklahoma shall
appoint officers in Greer county as pro-
vided by the laws of that territory and
actually to place it in the same con-
dition as other countries of that ter-
ritory.
It provides also that all suits pend-
ing in the county shall proceed as if
they had been brought in the courts
of Oklahoma and where there has been
an appeal to the higher courts of Texas
they shall be prosecuted to a finity and
on certification to the courts of Okla-
homa they shall be good and binding.
In criminal cases where judgments
are affirmed by the appellate court of
Texas the convicted person if imprison-
ment is the penalty shall be confined
according to the commands of Okla-
homa.
Judge Brown had asked a hearing on
the bill and Col. Culberson asked that
this be granted him yesterday, although
it was not the regular session of the
committee.
Judge Brown spoke of the condition
of Greer county. He said that for
years there had been a semi-annual
■district court held there, a county court
' and courts of justices of the peace, all
under the laws of Texas. These courts
had rendered judgments in civil cases.
Marriages had been consummated un-
der the forms of law and divorces
granted. He stated that one criminal
( had been convicted of murder in the
second 'degree and his punishment as-
sessed at-confinement in the peniten-
tiary for life. He appealed and the
court of appeals of Texas had affirmed
the judgment of the court below. He
then asked for a rehearing and pending
the motion the supreme court of the
. United States had declared that Greer
county belonged to the United States.
He had heard that this motion for re-
hearing had been overruled and that
the defendant was now about to sue out
a writ of habeas corpus on the ground
that he had never been legally con-
vited. Judge. Brown said that this
man had a partner in crime who was
waiting for trial.
Congressman Cooper tried to get up
his bill yesterday by which the United
States was to cede Greer county to
Texas. This bill was submitted to a
subcommittee of tlhe committee on
public lands, of which Mr. Cooper is a
member. He found that the commis-
sioner of the land office had talked
to the committee and expressed his
opposition to the measure, and there-
fore the subcommittee refused at this
time to act on the matter. Commis-
sioner Lamereux stated that a bill had
been approved by the committee which
had for its object the settlement of the
whole matter, and he wished this to
go forward before anything else was
done.
Mr. Cooper states that he intends to
push the matter for the ceding of the
territory, and he has hopes that it will
succeed.
In the senate Mr. Mills introduced
two petitions from the residents of
Greer county asking that the United
States cede Greer county to Texas, or
sell it to Texas. The petitioners say
that they located in that county under
the belief that the county belonged to
Teras, and they had made their homes
under the belief. They state that the
- -“country is best for cattle raising and
that the residents ought to have 640
acres. The petition is numerously
signed.
Electricity Can Do it.
New York, April 6.—A cash offer of
over $2,000,000 has been made by a lead-
ing banking house representing a for-
eign country for the privilege of runn-
ing canal boats on the [Erie canal by
electric traction.
Several months ago experiments were
made at Tonawanda with a system of
towing canal boats by a small motor
running on a cable. The motor ran suc-
cessfully and it is said to be ready for
operation the entire length of the canal.
If this system be put into successful
operation the canal would become the
great traffic route from the lakes to the
seaboard.

Cuban Resolutions Adopted.
Washington, April 7.—The house yes-
terday adopted the conference report
on the Cuban resolution by a vote of
244 to 27, and passed the river and har-
bor bill under suspension of the rules
after a lively debate of forty minutes
by a vote of 216 to 40. The report of
the Cuban resolutions had been de-
bated Friday and Saturday and the vote
yesterday was taken immediately after
the reading of the journal. Eighteen
Republicans and nine Democrats voted
against the report. After the most de-
termined opposition to those opposed to
the recognition of the insurgents in
the senate and house, there were but
ten more voces against the report than
against- the original resolutions. The
former vote was 262 to 17. By this ac-
tion yesterday the house agreed to the
senate resolutions and disposes of the
Cuban question for the present.
Those resolutions were as follows:
Resolved, that in the opinion of con-
gress a condition of public war exists
between the government of Spain and
the government proclaimed and for
some time maintained by force of arms
by the people of Cuba, and that the
United States should maintain a strict
neutrality between the contending
powers, according to each all the
rights of belligerents in the ports and
territory of the United States.
Resolved further, that the friendly
offices of the United States should be
offered by the president to the Span-
ish government for the recognition of
the independence of Cuba.

Chicago, Ill., April 7.-— Holmer Mon-
ahan was shot and killed and Robert
Ramsey seriously wounded at Barber
ann Canal streets last night by a man
named Andrews, who is still at large.

Killing of Miss Owen.
Talibottton, Ga., April 7.—Miss Sallie
mma Owen, a beautiful and wealthy
young lady of this city, was shot and
‘instantly killed Sunday nighst at 9
• clock in ithe parlor of J. H. McCoy's
pesidemice, by Dr. W. L. Ryder, a prom
inent dentist. .
Hon. A. P. Persons, a prominent can-
date for congress, was standing beside
Miss Owen when the fatal shot was
fired. He was also shot at, but received
only a flesh wound. Dr. Ryder was a
lover of Miss Owen, and it is presumed
that she refused to marry him, and
that he was frenzied with jealousy at
the existing circumstances between Mr
Persons and the young lady.
Miss Owen was a graduate. of Wes-
leyan female college, belonged to one
of the wealthiest and most aristocratic
families in Georgia, and was a social
favorite wherever she was known.
Excitement here is intense. Ryder
was captured by a posse a few miles
from town at 11 o’clock last night. He
. had made an unsuccessful attempt at
. suicide by cultting his threat.
A Panie.
Chicago, Ill., April 5.—A fire which
bore a very threatenimg aspect for a
time and created a panic broke out this
afternoon in a Clark street dime mu-
seum. It being Easter Sunday the two
small theaters in the building were en-
tertaining audiences of more than usual
proportions, at least 1000 persons, who
occupied every available space, being
present. The 'audience made a rush
for the doors and for aitme pandemo-
nium reigned. The stage manager,
Charles Bell, took a commanding posi-
tion and urged the people not to lose
their heads, and to his ccolrtess and
self-possession is due the fact that the
patron finally escaped without injury.
The wildest confusicm, however, pre-
vailed among the freaks and stage per-
formers, but all escaped without injury,
many of the actors running into the
streets in their stage attire.

He Deserves It.
Clinton, Ill., April 7.—Fearing lynch-
ing the officials have placed Ed Polen
in the Macon county jail to. await trial
for the murder of his wife and her
mother, Mrs. McMullen. The funerals
of the murdered women were held Sun-
day. The Rev. Duncan McArthur
preached the sermon. He said courts
should be more prompt in the execu-
tion of justice and people would not be
so prone to the subject of lynching.
Mr. Eberhardt prayed that justice
might be meted out to the murderer.
The feeling against Polen for the mur-
der of Mrs. McMullen, who leaves four,
young children, and Mrs. Polen is bit-
ter and intense.
Mutiny on Board.
New York, April 7.—Word has been
received at the Cuban junta in this
city to the effect that the American
schooner Martha, which left Key West
last Tuesday night with an expedition
bound for Cuba, had returned to that
city without landing her cargo. The
schooner was met and chased by three
Spanish vessels in’ Cuban waters and
barely escaped capture. While the lit-
tle schooner was fleeing from the Span-
ish vessels several of the Cubans on
board the Martha mutined and threw
a portion of the arms and ammunition
composing her cargo overboard. *
To Abduct Vanderbilt.
San Francisco, CaL, April 7.—Geo. E.
Gard, late chief of the Southern Pa-
cific company’s detective service, came
up from Los Angeles Sunday night
and gave publicity to a most remark-
able story of anarchist plot. The plot,
according to Gard, was a conspiracy to
hod up the Vanderblit special train and
abduct Cornelius Vanderbilt, and it has

The Postoffice Bills.
Washington, April 7.—The senate
spent the entire day on the postoffice
appropriation bill, but did not com-
plete it. The bill served to bring out
some sharp criticisms by Senator Gor-
man on the administration of the post-
office department and by Senator AL
len on alleged irregularities resulting
from the civil service system. Mr. Al-
len repeated the sensational charges
as to large money contributions said to
have been made in the interest of Mr.
Cleveland and Mr. Harrison. The
charge that Mr. Wanamaker contrib-
uted $400,000 toward Mr. Harrison’s
election led to an emphatic denial from
Mr. Hawley. Mr. Allen alluded to the
president as “his majesty,” and as the
chief mugwump of the country. The
vote on the postoffice bill will be taken
to-day.
Traveler on "L" Read Compelled to
Yield His Place.
“I never ge p to give my seat in
the ‘L‘ cars at night,” says Thompson.
“Why should I? I am as tired as any
of those blamed women, and I pay m$
five cents for a seat—if I can get one.*
Thompson was wrapped in his paper
the other evening, with a crowd of peo-
ple standing along the aisle, looking at
him enviously as he leaned back in his
seat. It was snowing hard, and many
of the passengers were wet. Immedi-
ately in front of Thompson stood a tall
girl, with a mischievous gleam in her
eyes and a hat with a brim turned up
at the sides on her head. She wanted
Thompson’s seat, but she could see
there was little chance of getting it.
“I’ll let him know I’m here, anyhow,”
she said to the girl with her, with a sly
smile.
Thompson was deep in his paper, and
appeared to be unconscious of the pres-
ence of the girl, although she stepped
upon his foot and rustled his paper with
the bottom of her wrap. Then she took
damper measures. The snow in the
hollow brim of her hat had melted, and
she bent over Thompson, so that a
stream of water ran upon his paper and
emptied itself into his vest pocket.
Thompson uttered a prayer for the
innocent young girl, and then she
turned the other side to him, so that
the water from the opposite side of her
hat would go down to the paper.
. “Slash-squizzle-dumfounder, what-
the-bells-an’-blazes!" yaped Thompson,
involuntarily, as he leaped from his
Beat.
“Oh, don’t let me deprive you of your
Beat. You must be tired!” purred the
demure maiden, as she winked again
at her friend, with the eye that was
furthest away from Thompson. But
Thompson never looked at her as she
dropped into his seat with a sigh of
content.—New York Press.
Postomce Bill To-Day.
Washington, April 6.—The senate i
will continue the consideration of the
postoffice bill to-day, and it is hoped
that the day will suffice to conclude the
debate on this bill.
Senator Morgan will to-morrow make
a speech on the Pacific railroad refund-
ing question and will probably con-
sume the greater part of the day in
support of his resolution, outlining a
bill and in opposition to the bill under
consideration by the joint subcommit-
tee of the two houses.
The remainder of the week will be
given up largely to the Indian appro-
priation bill. There will be an effort
in the senate to amend the bill by add-
ing the plan agreed upon by the com-
mittee on Indian affairs for changing
the systom of land holdings in the In-
dian Territory and this will develop
a sharp debate.
The naval appropriations bill xill be
reported during the week and will be
in condition to be taken up as soon as
the Indian bill is out of the way. It is
Senator Peffer’s intention to call up his
anti-bond resolution if opportunity of-
fers.
More Trouble.
Cape Town, April 6.—Alarm prevails
at Mafeking and the farmers in the
outlying districts are bringing their
families into town.
They declare that the natives in the
country around are prepairing to. rise on
account of the disconitent aroused
among them by the slaughter of their
cattle in the effort to stamp out the de-
structive rinder pest. This cattle dis-
ease has been creating great havoc
among the herds of the Transvaal and
Rhodesia has become paralyzed.
■ Mafeking is situated on the northern
border of Cape Colony, with the Trans-
vaal adjoining it on the east. It is
the point from which Jameson’s riders
set out for Johannesburg. It is also the
point from which Sir Hercules Robin-
son, governor of Cape Colony, last
week dispatched a force of 500 British
troops to assist in putting down the
Matabele uprising. The border of Mat-
abeland is 340 miles to the northeast
and Buluwayo is 450 miles away.
The present outbreak of discontent
can hardly be the result of race sym-
pathy with the Matabele and if it has
any connection with the Matabele revolt
it must be through the inciting agent
being the same. Measures have been
taken to protect Mafeking. The inhab-
itants have held a meeting and decided
to appeal to Gov. Sir Hercules Robin-
son to send troops, the police not be-
ing sufficient for the protection of Be-
chauanaland to the north.
Beu's Wedding Day.
New York, April 6.— Ex-Presidenit
' Harrison emtertained a number of
friends yesterday. Final preparations
for his wedding to Mrs. Dimmick to-
day have been completed... Admission
to the church will be by card only, and
not more than thirty- guests will be

speculation about the time at which
the ceremony will ’ be performed, but
no information upon that subject has
yet been allowed to leak out. Even
the guests do not know the hour.

Take a Gattling Gun.
New Orleans, La., April 6.—In re-
sponse to the application of the sheriff
of St. Landry parish and the mayor of
Opelousas, Gov. Foster directed Brig.
Gen. John Glynn, commanding the state
national guard, to comply with the re-
quest of the St. Landry authorities.
Gen. Glynn issued the necessary or-
ders and sixty men of the Washing-
ton artillery left this evening for Ope-
uosas in command! of Capt. Underhill.
Ten of the men were artillery men in
charge of the Gatling gun, which ac-
companied the expedition. The others
went as infantry. A special train will
meet the party at Lafayette and the
troops will be in Opelousas before
morning.

It Is Affiliated to Nectar and Is Ap-
propriate for Luncheons.
For luncheons which have lighter
courses than dinners liquid appetizers
tire appropriate, and the various "ar-
rangements" of liqueurs with orange or
grape fruits are considered delicious.
One of these is known as maraschino
punch and is prepared in the following
manner: Select as many large oranges
as the number of, guests require, and
prepare them by giving each one a
transverse cut, about half an inch from
the top. The interior and this sliced
part also are then nicely scooped out
nnd the pulp is pressed into a sieve until
the juice is all extracted. This is
[sweetened to taste and weakened with
p. little water, until a strong orangeade
is made. Into this is finally poured a
sufficient quantity of maraschino to
flavor the mixture agreeably, and the
empty oranges are filled with it. Two
straws are then prettily tied to the tops
by narrow ribbons drawn through two
punctures. These ribbons must match
the other decorations of the table, and.
harmonize as well with the color of the
oranges themselves. When the cap is
fitted again they are ready for serv-
ing.
They may be prevented from up-
setting and spilling the contents by
being put in paper cases upon small
decorated plates.—New York Adver-
