The officials had not estimated the nlimber of persons who would probably come to take a last look at the dead king and were wholly unprepared for the tremendous crowd that rushed Into the chapel, choking up the entrance and surrounding the body,' to the imminent danger of overturning and' trampling upon it Efforts were made to turn the crowd back, but these attempts estly served to Increase the confusion and infuriate the people. Many were thrown down and trampled upon, and their cries of pain mingled with the oatbs of those whose entrance was barred... Finally the guards succeeded in clearing the passage, forced the crowd back into the grounds and closed the doors. It was then decided to admit 200 persons at the end of each quarter of an hour, and a strong guard of soldiers with fixed bayonets was stationed at the doors to carry this plan into effect This had the effect to exasperate the people still more and greatly increased the danger of an outbreak. She crowd surged back and forth in front of the entrance, but the guards were able to enforce their orders, and ultimately the people became quiet None of them went away, however, and all insisted upon holding their places until they could be admitted.Lndwlf.

In hii addrees Mr. Colman said: Bam Aktonio, Tex., Jane 17.—For several jrears the Helots settlement, north of this city, has been the headquarters of as murderous a gang of robbers as ever flourished in the southwest A eave, four or five miles distant, has been their hiding place in critical times, and also a storehouse where all sorts of plunder has been kept A short time ago Joe Brannon, one of the gang, was shot and killed while on his way to this city. His brother Cat Brannon believed that Joe had been killed by members of the gang, and to get square, he went before the grand jury and charged Frank and t. J. Scott father and son, members of the gang, with the murder of Frank Harris. Harris was arrested in September, 1884, by Frank Scott who was then a constable, and from that time until a few days ago nothing had ever been heard of Harris. The grand Jury, on Cal Brannon's advice, sent deputy sheriffs to search the robbers' cave, and in it, tied up in a coffee sack, was found a skeleton, which has since been identified as the remains of Frank Harris. Over the right eye is the mark of a ballot hol& An old friend of Harris has identified the remains by the peculiarly decayed front teeth, from whloh the filling had dropped out, the fragments of his trousers, the boots and an old saddle that had belonged to the dead m«ii[ and which was found in the brush near the cave.

Thompson, who killed his wife in their room at the Sturtevant house on Tuesday afternoon and then fired four bullets into himself, is likely to 4ie without revealing the secret of his motives for the act whloh brought hi* honeymoon to so tragic an end. He has thus far rested quietly in bli cot at the New York horpital, apparently unconcerned a* to the result of bis own injuries, and refusing stubbornly to say a word as to the circumstances which have brought him there. A great many people called to see him yesterday and 'inquire as to his condition. Pe itouitis had set in, and it wa« said that he would die. New York, June 17.—Everything favors a fine race today, wind and weather permitting. The symmetrical Mayflower, biggest of the quartet of "happy Yankee accidents," arose from the water yesterday morning on one of the screw docks at the foot of Market street and was immediately attacked by a little regiment of whiteclothed workmen with planes, scrapers, sandpaper and pot lead. Thousands of folks interested In yachtin; walked around hw daring the day, and many made the paradoxical remark that she was a daisy as well as a Mayflower. Her bulging seams were planed, scraped and sandpapered, and coated with pot lead to her water line. Then at 7:30 o'clock she was lowered into the water again, her pot-leaded centerboard was put in position, and a tug towed her down to Bay Ridge. Washington, June 17.—Mr. Morrison, from the committee on ways and means, has submitted two important reports to the house on questions w ei One was (he resolution of Mr. Wi kins, of Ohio, declaring that it be the rense of the house that the tariff on wool should not at this lime be changed. The other on the resolution oi Mr. Orosvenor, of Ohio, to restore the duty of 18(57 on wool. Both were majority reports and adverse to the resolutions. Mr. Morrison adopted as his report on the Wilkius resolution, a letter reoeired by -him from ex-Representative John O. Smith, of Ohio. The letter declared that the statements made by Hons. Columbus Delano, George Ij. Converse, J. E. Taylor and David Hipster, of hij state, published in pamphlet form and purporting to i"»present. the views of the Wool Growers' association, were absurdly false as to the importance and magnitude of sheen husbandry in Ohio and elsewhere. He thought a flock of sheep could be raised on every farm to advantage; that they made little trouble, were inexpensive, and the revenue from them was clear profit As to the Groavenor resolution, Mr. Morrison says only the manufacturers and dealers are benefited by a tariff On wool; that an increase of duty would be injurious to all classes; that it drives from our markets many kinds of wool which are indlspensa-1)1 D; gives European manufacturers the exclusive monopoly of the use of these wools, and therefore of certain grades of goods; confines manufacturers to it restricted choice of materials and to tba production of a limited class of goods, with which home markets are glutted. The duty has never enabled American wool grower* to get better prices, bat has furnished an excuse for heaping heavy taxes upon the clothing of the people, thus taxing the wool grower to an amount far exceeding the whole benefit which he ever imagined he would derive from the tariff, without giving him thartmaginary benefit It reduced the wages of workingmen in woolen manufactories by the delusive promises of a high tariff; has greatly hindered oar trade with our natural customers in South America, and it has made our clothing dearer and that of Europe cheaper. Tfte trees of Eden bore no inch fruits as do oars. It was a wild garden.' Its products would be no temptation to our eyes to-day. The apple, if, indeed, it , was ,an apple, which was plucked by ' Whose mortal taste , j J Brought death Into the world and all oar woe- Was not even a respectable crab apple, as we now estimate fruits. The qjpab was, in fact, a great advanoe" upon the apples of Eden. The fabled gardens of the Hesperides bore no such luscious fruits as may now be found in the garden of ttie' recent settler in Nebraska or California. The spe tie* brought from Canaan were no such products as may be seen at any ot oar horticultural exhlbitlona The grape* of K«cfcOl would C5ompare only unfavorably with the cluster* which grow on our Paoifio coast ahd In' thousands of places all over the laadL D Under the hand of the nurseryman and the horticulturists, and under the law of limitation and variation by which all growth Is determined, the wildness of nature has been subdued and her fruits have been developed as we seo them to-day. 1 ■■ .. , uj ha* f Late in the afternoon the Rev. Dr. John Hid. called at the hospital and asked to see Thoti pson. He said that he had known his father well, and he was the only visitor admit e.l ye t-r d .y. He spent but a few minutes with the unfortunate man, and Thompson gave no expl Dnation of his act Dr. Hall asked him no questions. Dr. Markoe explained that Thompson's apparent indifference was no doubt largely due to the fact that he is kept largely under the influence of chloroform all the time. Gen. Paine, Designer Edward Burgess and Mr. "Richards, who sailed with Gen. Paine in the Puritan last yjar, will go over the New York club's course in the Mayflower to-day. Gen. Paine said that the qualities of the Mayflower were as little known to him as they wero to the general public. She had never had an opportunity of showing what she was worth. The owner of the Puritan had declined to sail his yacht against the Mayflower, although invited to do sa She bad a brush with the keel sloop Huron in Boston harbor, but as the big sloop's centerboard could not be forced down, she was unable to go to windward at all. It i* believed that as Harris was last seen alive wi|h the Bcotts an indictment for murder will be found against them. The object of the murder Is not quite clear, though many recall that Harris was very fond of Scott, daughter and sister qf the alleged murderers, and that Harris had been heard to say that he would marry her if he had to do it in blood. The Scotte opposed Harris and favored one of the gang named Pitts, now dead. He was a murderer, a train wrecker, a stage robber and a horse thief, but was a thrifty thief, and his collection of plunder found favor with the male members of the Scott family. SEGAR MAKERS QUARRELING. Theories regai ding the circumstances of the shooting ore as many as there are theoris a Seven shots were fired. One of them was found in the wall beside the pier glass, at the foot of which Mrs. Thompson's body was found. This indicates that she was standing before the mirror adjusting her hat for her expected journey to Philadelphia in the atternoon when Thompson fired at and missed her. He must have immediately fired again at so close a range as her hair. This wound was not discovered by the hasty examination on Tuesday, but Deputy Coroner Jenkins found it at the autopsy. Strikers Fined for Throwing Mod at Reading, Pa., June 17.—Two strikers who were in the crowd which threw mud at Glaser & Frames' non-union cigar makers, were yesterday fined (5 and costs in tho mayor's court The mayor warned them that a second offense would be more harshly dealt with, and be took occasion to say to the large crowd of strikers present in court that public order would be maintained even by force If necessary. The affair was almost a riot About 1,000 men and boys surrounded the police who were escorting, the non-union men from work, and the situation seemed so threatening that the police thought it wise to sot only on the defensive until they had seen the workers safely to the hotel. Then they arrested the leaders of the crowd, who were the men fined. Ten more non-union men arrived from Lancaster county and went to work at Glaser tc Frames. The building was surrounded all day by angry strikers, and there was great excitement in town oil acount of apprehensions of rioting. The poliou held themselves ready to proceed to the factory promptly, if summoned. Non-Union Men. . ■"/ iTTs- rn taafcfi. Turner's, N.

She heels a little more than the Puritan when going to windward. Mr. Burgess said he designed her to beat the Puritan, and that he expected her to do it. Nearly everybody who looked at the Mayflower said she was a handsome and dangerous looking boat Whether she is or not may be ascertained to-day in what promises to be the finest of the New York Yacht club's regattas. The crack boats of the country will participate, and the fleet of accompanying boats probably will be as gorgeous as has ever danoed on the bosom of the bay. The marvelous little Stiletto, now lead colored, which got here last night, will be a part of tho fleet She paved down the Bast river like a rayless meteor yesterday afternoon. AN AGREEMENT . REACHED. This no doubt served to stun the terrified victim, and she fell to the floor as Thompson fired the fatal shot, which entered at the left side of the head, an inch back of tDe Mr, and passed through the brain to the VWU side of the head, fracturing the skull in front of the right ear, an 1 lodging in the brain. The ball, when removed, was found to be cut nearly in twCv and very much battered. Thompson most then have turned his 82-caliber pistol upon himself, «nH after the first shot he probably sank to the floor, and while In this attitude fired the shot which paasej through his scalp at the back of thejbead, und entered the calling overhead. The shot which penetrated his body was, no doubt, the last one fired to complete his dreadful work. The body of the dead girl had been taken to the home of her parents on Tuesday.

The pcilo* quickly rallied and attacked the rescuing party. In th* battle which ensued a corporal of police was shot dead. Eriqolo Rodriguez, son of th* rescued man; Baez, Morale* and Pedro Bubono were killed by the polloe. The rioters then took refuge on a neighboring ranch, where they are protected by the owner, Pedro Quantilla. The manufacturers also expressed a desire to leave the nail scale in the hands of the Western Nail association. It was agreed to pdbtpone further consideration of this clause until June 23, at which time the nail manufacturers trill hare a full representation at the Conference. Niw York, June 17.—Mrs. George H. Borden, accompanied by her son, aged S years, and little daughter, aged 18 months, left Olean on a visit to Boston. At Binghamton she took a sleeper on the Boston express. After Siingerlands was passed she allowed her children to go out into the passageway of the sleaping car while she was doing up her hair. This completed, she turned to look for her children. Toe partly opened door and the absence of the boy told itfc own story. When the train reached Albany telegrams were dispatched to Delma and Siingerlands to search for the lost boy. Two hours later the welcome intelligence was received, "found unhurt" When discovered he was trudging along the track in the direction of Albany, apd had already covered a mile of the distance. Re was taken to Albany. A slight cut on the hack of his neck was his only injury.

This is the first instance on record that the scale has been signed by the manufacturers to the time the scale went into effect. Mr*. Kahlar, mother of the dead girl, was bef.ide herself with grief yesterday, and very demonstrative. She ooold not talk coherently St the matter, bat seemed to have no other idea than that Thompson had shot his bride and himself because of straitened financial circumstances. A Woman With a Record. Lancaster, Pa., June 17.—Salome Whitman, Lancaster's only woman bone thief, baa again come to griet She was released from a term for horse stealing only a few months ago, Scaley Smith, a notorious mountaineer, escorting her from prison and marrying her.

The Dead Lobbyist and Funds In- trusted to His Bands. A Nomination Rejected. Nrw York, June 17.—A special to The Mail and Express from Trenton, N. J., says: There is every prospect of a lively fight over the estate of Culver Barcalow, the wellknown lobbyist, who died recently of heart disease. It is stated upon reliable authority that just before his death Barcalow deposited about (36,000 in a national bank at Somerville. The deposit was madB in his own name, although it is allege! that he received the money from two corporations for use in the legislature. There is no trouble in surmising what use the money was to have been put to, but neither corporation is anxious to make it public. The' heirs are unwilling to restore the money, and contend that the corporations can furnish no proof of their claim*. Should the controversy be carried to the courts the testimony, no doubt, will disclose some interesting facts about the way state legislators are influenced.Washington, June 17.—The senate has rejected the nomination of Jamas C. Shields, of Michigan, to be chief justice of Arizona territory.

The officials had not estimated the nlimber of persons who would probably come to take a last look at the dead king and were wholly unprepared for the tremendous crowd that rushed Into the chapel, choking up the entrance and surrounding the body,' to the imminent danger of overturning and' trampling upon it Efforts were made to turn the crowd back, but these attempts estly served to Increase the confusion and infuriate the people. Many were thrown down and trampled upon, and their cries of pain mingled with the oatbs of those whose entrance was barred... Finally the guards succeeded in clearing the passage, forced the crowd back into the grounds and closed the doors. It was then decided to admit 200 persons at the end of each quarter of an hour, and a strong guard of soldiers with fixed bayonets was stationed at the doors to carry this plan into effect This had the effect to exasperate the people still more and greatly increased the danger of an outbreak. She crowd surged back and forth in front of the entrance, but the guards were able to enforce their orders, and ultimately the people became quiet None of them went away, however, and all insisted upon holding their places until they could be admitted.Lndwlf.

In hii addrees Mr. Colman said: Bam Aktonio, Tex., Jane 17.—For several jrears the Helots settlement, north of this city, has been the headquarters of as murderous a gang of robbers as ever flourished in the southwest A eave, four or five miles distant, has been their hiding place in critical times, and also a storehouse where all sorts of plunder has been kept A short time ago Joe Brannon, one of the gang, was shot and killed while on his way to this city. His brother Cat Brannon believed that Joe had been killed by members of the gang, and to get square, he went before the grand jury and charged Frank and t. J. Scott father and son, members of the gang, with the murder of Frank Harris. Harris was arrested in September, 1884, by Frank Scott who was then a constable, and from that time until a few days ago nothing had ever been heard of Harris. The grand Jury, on Cal Brannon's advice, sent deputy sheriffs to search the robbers' cave, and in it, tied up in a coffee sack, was found a skeleton, which has since been identified as the remains of Frank Harris. Over the right eye is the mark of a ballot hol& An old friend of Harris has identified the remains by the peculiarly decayed front teeth, from whloh the filling had dropped out, the fragments of his trousers, the boots and an old saddle that had belonged to the dead m«ii[ and which was found in the brush near the cave.

Do Before the Wind. the Tariff Be Changed? Nrw York. June 17.—Win field B. Thompson, who killed his wife in their room at the Sturtevant house on Tuesday afternoon and then fired four bullets into himself, is likely to 4ie without revealing the secret of his motives for the act whloh brought hi* honeymoon to so tragic an end. He has thus far rested quietly in bli cot at the New York horpital, apparently unconcerned a* to the result of bis own injuries, and refusing stubbornly to say a word as to the circumstances which have brought him there. A great many people called to see him yesterday and 'inquire as to his condition. Pe itouitis had set in, and it wa« said that he would die. New York, June 17.—Everything favors a fine race today, wind and weather permitting. The symmetrical Mayflower, biggest of the quartet of "happy Yankee accidents," arose from the water yesterday morning on one of the screw docks at the foot of Market street and was immediately attacked by a little regiment of whiteclothed workmen with planes, scrapers, sandpaper and pot lead. Thousands of folks interested In yachtin; walked around hw daring the day, and many made the paradoxical remark that she was a daisy as well as a Mayflower. Her bulging seams were planed, scraped and sandpapered, and coated with pot lead to her water line. Then at 7:30 o'clock she was lowered into the water again, her pot-leaded centerboard was put in position, and a tug towed her down to Bay Ridge. Washington, June 17.—Mr. Morrison, from the committee on ways and means, has submitted two important reports to the house on questions w ei One was (he resolution of Mr. Wi kins, of Ohio, declaring that it be the rense of the house that the tariff on wool should not at this lime be changed. The other on the resolution oi Mr. Orosvenor, of Ohio, to restore the duty of 18(57 on wool. Both were majority reports and adverse to the resolutions. Mr. Morrison adopted as his report on the Wilkius resolution, a letter reoeired by -him from ex-Representative John O. Smith, of Ohio. The letter declared that the statements made by Hons. Columbus Delano, George Ij. Converse, J. E. Taylor and David Hipster, of hij state, published in pamphlet form and purporting to i"»present. the views of the Wool Growers' association, were absurdly false as to the importance and magnitude of sheen husbandry in Ohio and elsewhere. He thought a flock of sheep could be raised on every farm to advantage; that they made little trouble, were inexpensive, and the revenue from them was clear profit As to the Groavenor resolution, Mr. Morrison says only the manufacturers and dealers are benefited by a tariff On wool; that an increase of duty would be injurious to all classes; that it drives from our markets many kinds of wool which are indlspensa-1)1 D; gives European manufacturers the exclusive monopoly of the use of these wools, and therefore of certain grades of goods; confines manufacturers to it restricted choice of materials and to tba production of a limited class of goods, with which home markets are glutted. The duty has never enabled American wool grower* to get better prices, bat has furnished an excuse for heaping heavy taxes upon the clothing of the people, thus taxing the wool grower to an amount far exceeding the whole benefit which he ever imagined he would derive from the tariff, without giving him thartmaginary benefit It reduced the wages of workingmen in woolen manufactories by the delusive promises of a high tariff; has greatly hindered oar trade with our natural customers in South America, and it has made our clothing dearer and that of Europe cheaper. Tfte trees of Eden bore no inch fruits as do oars. It was a wild garden.' Its products would be no temptation to our eyes to-day. The apple, if, indeed, it , was ,an apple, which was plucked by ' Whose mortal taste , j J Brought death Into the world and all oar woe- Was not even a respectable crab apple, as we now estimate fruits. The qjpab was, in fact, a great advanoe" upon the apples of Eden. The fabled gardens of the Hesperides bore no such luscious fruits as may now be found in the garden of ttie' recent settler in Nebraska or California. The spe tie* brought from Canaan were no such products as may be seen at any ot oar horticultural exhlbitlona The grape* of K«cfcOl would C5ompare only unfavorably with the cluster* which grow on our Paoifio coast ahd In' thousands of places all over the laadL D Under the hand of the nurseryman and the horticulturists, and under the law of limitation and variation by which all growth Is determined, the wildness of nature has been subdued and her fruits have been developed as we seo them to-day. 1 ■■ .. , uj ha* f Late in the afternoon the Rev. Dr. John Hid. called at the hospital and asked to see Thoti pson. He said that he had known his father well, and he was the only visitor admit e.l ye t-r d .y. He spent but a few minutes with the unfortunate man, and Thompson gave no expl Dnation of his act Dr. Hall asked him no questions. Dr. Markoe explained that Thompson's apparent indifference was no doubt largely due to the fact that he is kept largely under the influence of chloroform all the time. Gen. Paine, Designer Edward Burgess and Mr. "Richards, who sailed with Gen. Paine in the Puritan last yjar, will go over the New York club's course in the Mayflower to-day. Gen. Paine said that the qualities of the Mayflower were as little known to him as they wero to the general public. She had never had an opportunity of showing what she was worth. The owner of the Puritan had declined to sail his yacht against the Mayflower, although invited to do sa She bad a brush with the keel sloop Huron in Boston harbor, but as the big sloop's centerboard could not be forced down, she was unable to go to windward at all. It i* believed that as Harris was last seen alive wi|h the Bcotts an indictment for murder will be found against them. The object of the murder Is not quite clear, though many recall that Harris was very fond of Scott, daughter and sister qf the alleged murderers, and that Harris had been heard to say that he would marry her if he had to do it in blood. The Scotte opposed Harris and favored one of the gang named Pitts, now dead. He was a murderer, a train wrecker, a stage robber and a horse thief, but was a thrifty thief, and his collection of plunder found favor with the male members of the Scott family. SEGAR MAKERS QUARRELING. Theories regai ding the circumstances of the shooting ore as many as there are theoris a Seven shots were fired. One of them was found in the wall beside the pier glass, at the foot of which Mrs. Thompson's body was found. This indicates that she was standing before the mirror adjusting her hat for her expected journey to Philadelphia in the atternoon when Thompson fired at and missed her. He must have immediately fired again at so close a range as her hair. This wound was not discovered by the hasty examination on Tuesday, but Deputy Coroner Jenkins found it at the autopsy. Strikers Fined for Throwing Mod at Reading, Pa., June 17.—Two strikers who were in the crowd which threw mud at Glaser & Frames' non-union cigar makers, were yesterday fined (5 and costs in tho mayor's court The mayor warned them that a second offense would be more harshly dealt with, and be took occasion to say to the large crowd of strikers present in court that public order would be maintained even by force If necessary. The affair was almost a riot About 1,000 men and boys surrounded the police who were escorting, the non-union men from work, and the situation seemed so threatening that the police thought it wise to sot only on the defensive until they had seen the workers safely to the hotel. Then they arrested the leaders of the crowd, who were the men fined. Ten more non-union men arrived from Lancaster county and went to work at Glaser tc Frames. The building was surrounded all day by angry strikers, and there was great excitement in town oil acount of apprehensions of rioting. The poliou held themselves ready to proceed to the factory promptly, if summoned. Non-Union Men. . ■"/ iTTs- rn taafcfi. Turner's, N.

She heels a little more than the Puritan when going to windward. Mr. Burgess said he designed her to beat the Puritan, and that he expected her to do it. Nearly everybody who looked at the Mayflower said she was a handsome and dangerous looking boat Whether she is or not may be ascertained to-day in what promises to be the finest of the New York Yacht club's regattas. The crack boats of the country will participate, and the fleet of accompanying boats probably will be as gorgeous as has ever danoed on the bosom of the bay. The marvelous little Stiletto, now lead colored, which got here last night, will be a part of tho fleet She paved down the Bast river like a rayless meteor yesterday afternoon. AN AGREEMENT . REACHED. This no doubt served to stun the terrified victim, and she fell to the floor as Thompson fired the fatal shot, which entered at the left side of the head, an inch back of tDe Mr, and passed through the brain to the VWU side of the head, fracturing the skull in front of the right ear, an 1 lodging in the brain. The ball, when removed, was found to be cut nearly in twCv and very much battered. Thompson most then have turned his 82-caliber pistol upon himself, «nH after the first shot he probably sank to the floor, and while In this attitude fired the shot which paasej through his scalp at the back of thejbead, und entered the calling overhead. The shot which penetrated his body was, no doubt, the last one fired to complete his dreadful work. The body of the dead girl had been taken to the home of her parents on Tuesday.

The result was a compromise on the propose'8 as revised at the last session of the convention on Saturday last The only important alterations on the revised scale were: On account of the manufacturers' complaint referring to the roll turners' scale, aad having no date for oomparing or basis to work on, it was agreed to postpone the demands in this particular for one year. t&inlr not prcpaaad to ooqtmit myself to the details of any of the plans proposed for the l«««roolm W liW|WMWV oondl- SEIBSSSSy*'" 5Sa9S3fcrl£«E3?S!R£ should be MtitM not mHMMM.

The pcilo* quickly rallied and attacked the rescuing party. In th* battle which ensued a corporal of police was shot dead. Eriqolo Rodriguez, son of th* rescued man; Baez, Morale* and Pedro Bubono were killed by the polloe. The rioters then took refuge on a neighboring ranch, where they are protected by the owner, Pedro Quantilla. The manufacturers also expressed a desire to leave the nail scale in the hands of the Western Nail association. It was agreed to pdbtpone further consideration of this clause until June 23, at which time the nail manufacturers trill hare a full representation at the Conference. Niw York, June 17.—Mrs. George H. Borden, accompanied by her son, aged S years, and little daughter, aged 18 months, left Olean on a visit to Boston. At Binghamton she took a sleeper on the Boston express. After Siingerlands was passed she allowed her children to go out into the passageway of the sleaping car while she was doing up her hair. This completed, she turned to look for her children. Toe partly opened door and the absence of the boy told itfc own story. When the train reached Albany telegrams were dispatched to Delma and Siingerlands to search for the lost boy. Two hours later the welcome intelligence was received, "found unhurt" When discovered he was trudging along the track in the direction of Albany, apd had already covered a mile of the distance. Re was taken to Albany. A slight cut on the hack of his neck was his only injury. Mrs. Borden and children then left for Boston. _ Way on Foot* This scale goes Into effect on July land holds good for one year.

This is the first instance on record that the scale has been signed by the manufacturers to the time the scale went into effect. Mr*. Kahlar, mother of the dead girl, was bef.ide herself with grief yesterday, and very demonstrative. She ooold not talk coherently St the matter, bat seemed to have no other idea than that Thompson had shot his bride and himself because of straitened financial circumstances. A Woman With a Record. Lancaster, Pa., June 17.—Salome Whitman, Lancaster's only woman bone thief, baa again come to griet She was released from a term for horse stealing only a few months ago, Scaley Smith, a notorious mountaineer, escorting her from prison and marrying her.

At the bearing before a country magistrate she struck one of the witnesses in the face and had to be thrown down before she could be got under cqntroL On. the way to L&iicaster she made an unsuccesful attempt to escape from the officer.

The Dead Lobbyist and Funds In- trusted to His Bands. A Nomination Rejected. Nrw York, June 17.—A special to The Mail and Express from Trenton, N. J., says: There is every prospect of a lively fight over the estate of Culver Barcalow, the wellknown lobbyist, who died recently of heart disease. It is stated upon reliable authority that just before his death Barcalow deposited about (36,000 in a national bank at Somerville. The deposit was madB in his own name, although it is allege! that he received the money from two corporations for use in the legislature. There is no trouble in surmising what use the money was to have been put to, but neither corporation is anxious to make it public. The' heirs are unwilling to restore the money, and contend that the corporations can furnish no proof of their claim*. Should the controversy be carried to the courts the testimony, no doubt, will disclose some interesting facts about the way state legislators are influenced.Washington, June 17.—The senate has rejected the nomination of Jamas C. Shields, of Michigan, to be chief justice of Arizona territory. It was urged against the nomination of Shields that his appointment was made to All a vacancy made by a removal through Mormon influenoe; then there were charges signed by the bar of Arizona, alleging incompetency. It was asserted that while Shields was a young man of good character, his knowledge of law was too limited for the potltiou. The nomination of United States Marshal Scott, of Virginia, which has been pending for some weeks as unfinished business, has been recommitted to the committee on the judiciary for examination into certain new charges that have been nude against him.

In opposition to this Mr.- R & Yard, a dark with W. R Grare & Co., said last night: ' Thompson was too oool headed to take his life oq account of a temporary distress for money, and he could hare had any amount he needed for the mere asking. Up to about six months ago Thompson used to talk of a girl in Kansas City, to whom he was engaged to be married, but when he began his attentions to Miss Kahler I supposed, (f course, that the old lore was off, and he never spoke of her again."
