CRIPPLE CREEK MINERS BE
COME OBSTREPEROUS.
MILITIA ORDERED TO THE SCENE.
The Striking Miners Move on n Mine nna
Drive the Men nt Work Away—One
Deputy Sheriff Shot and Three
Captured and Carried Into the
Mountains — Denver Trou
ble to De Arbitrated.
Denver, Colo., March 19.—The life
of a militiaman in this state just at
present is far from a pleasant one.
No sooner has the threatened “war”
between the governor and the police
and deputy sheriffs been virtually
called off for the present at least than
the national guards, who had
been exposed all Thursday to
the rifles and revoluers of the
men in the city hall and had been un
der arms all yesterday, were ordered
to go to Cripple Creek to face a mob of
desperate and angry miners. At noon
to-day the Denver militia left on a
train for the scene of the latest out
break.
. The miners at Cripple Creek, who
had struck some time ago against the
nine hour day and had since been un
ruly, moved on the Victor mine at
Altman yesterday and drove away
the men at work there. One deputy
sheriff was shot in resisting the
rioters and three were captured and
carried into the mountains.
News of the outbreak was tele
graphed here this morning and the
governor ordered a company of cav
alrjf and one of infantry from Colorado
Springs to the scene, and also called
out the Denver militia. At noon the
order was given for the First regi
ment, the Signal corps and the Chaffee
light artillery to take the train for
the scene of trouble.
SUBMITTED TO ARBITRATION.
The Supremo Court to Settle the Denver
War—Waite's Sanity Questioned.
Denver, Col., March 19.—Last night
it was announced that Governor
Waite had decided to call his “war”
off and allow the state supreme court
to settle his controversy with the old
police commissioners, and at noon to
day the dispute was submitted to the
court. In the meantime the police
and deputy sheriffs are still in control
of the city hall, which continues to
resemble a fort.
The governor's communication to
the supreme court makes over two
columns in a newspaper. After re
citing his side of the case from the
first up to the present day, he asks
the court to decide which men consti
tute the legal fire and police and ex
cise commissioners of the city of Den
ver. This ends for the present the
controversy which two days ago
threatened to plunge the city and state
into bloodshed.
At least twenty people have called
on the district attorney and urged
him to have the governor tried as to
his sanity. It is said that Drs. Esk
ridge, Pfeiffer and D. E. Lemon are
willing to swear that he is insane.
McCook*! Course Approved.
Washington, March 19.—The report
from General McCook as to the condi
tions in Denver which led him to bring
the troops from Fort Logan to that city
was discussed at the cabinet meeting
yesterday. What he had done was ap
proved.
General McCook commanded the de
partment of Colorado and has the ab
solute right to dispose his troops at
such points as he may select to protect
the government property at Denver,
the sub-treasury, assav office, post
office and other buildings. Further
than this they will not go unless the
governor calls for their assistance, nor
could they have done more yesterday.
The governor's application for aid is
said to have been informal, as it
should have been directed to the
president instead of to General Mc
Cook.
THE LITTLE MURDER TRIAL.
The State Rest, and the Defense Makes

last at which time he was a member
of the Methodist church and a trustee
of Bethany hospital, Kansas City, Kas.

After the opening statement of the
defense at noon the court adjourned
to Monday morning at 9 o’clock.

Washington, March 19.—At the
meeting of the House committee on
civil service reform the bills of Repre

mittee on the bill introduced by Rep
resentative Wheeler, of Alabama, re
vising the civil service law and pro
posing that the list of eligibles should

A POLYGAMIST WITH A RECORD
hun Wellington Brown, He of Twenty
Six Wives, Again Heard From.
Drthoit, Mich., March 19.—James
Wellington Brown, a polygamist with
a record of twenty-six wives in the
state of Michigan alone, and with
other wives being heard from at times
in other parts of the United States,
has again come into public notice
through inquiries of his hitherto un
reported wives. Four of them lived
here—two of them in the same ward.
He received a sentence of six
years in Jackson prison, but escaped
a few weeks ago, and nothing
was heard from him until this
week, when a letter was received
from a new Mrs. Brown in Buffalo.
She had heard of the escape of her
husband, who had deserted her, and
wrote to one of the victims, who still
lives in this city. Brown had led to
altar in Buffalo Miss Emma Davis,
who was a dressmaker, lived with her
three weeks and then departed. He
was next heard of at Fredonia, N. Y.,
where he fell in love with another
dressmaker. This was followed by a
speedy marriage, and in exactly two
weeks another desertion took place,
and the marrying Mr. Brown con
tinued his journeyings over the coun
try.
BURNHAM IS WRATHY.
The World's Fair Chief of Construction
Scores Secretary Carlisle.
Chicago, March 19.—D. H. Burnham,
chief of construction of the world’s
fair and president of the
American institute of architects,
said today: -‘It is most unfortunate
for this country that at the juncture
when the Columbian exposition had
opened a view of great progress in
American science,art and architecture,
Mr. Carlisle should have under his
direction all the architectural work of
the government. This country is the
greatest client of architecture known
in history, unless Rome in the height
of her wealth, power and glory be ex
cepted, and the fact that
those now in control of the
department of agriculture at
Washington have little or no know
ledge of the profession is a national
misfortune. That Secretary Carlisle
should be the responsible head of all
the architectural work of the govern
ment is positively calamitous.”
UNION PACIFIC WAGES.
Receiver Clark and the Employe* Hold
a Secret Conference.
Omaha, Neb., March 19.—The em
ployes of the Union Pacific and Re
ceiver Clark met this morning at the
railroad headquarters and the wage
conference, scheduled to open Thurs
day, began in secret in the office of
the general manager.
The telegraphers were accorded the
first hearing and it is believed that
three days will be consumed in pre
senting their side of the case. The
men have calmed down since yester
day and they now assert their belief
that the conference will terminate
satisfactorily.
OXFORD WINS EASILY.
Cambridge Outrowed From the Very

London, March 19.—The fifty-first

mile two furlong course from Putney
bridge to the Ship at Mortlake, and
Oxford won by three and a half
lengths, while Cambridge’s men did

Relief for AtchUon.
Washington,March 19.—Judge Brod
erick, who has been devoting all his
time for a, week to the securing of
legislation to protect Atchison from
the ravages of the Missouri, has intro
duced a bill appropriating 975,000 for
that purpose. He is sanguine that it
will be favorably reported in a few
days. He is compelled to make the
fight single-handed as Mr. Burns of
the Missouri district across the river
lies ill at his hotel.
Minister Porter for the Senate.
Memphis, Tenn., March 19.—Gov
ernor James D. Porter, United States
minister to Chili, it is said by those in
a position to know, has decided to
tender his resignation to the state de
partment and return home. The an
nouncement, it is believed, means
that he has decided to enter the race
as the administration candidate for
the United States senate against Sen
ator Isham G. Harris.
England's Income Tax to Be RaUed.
London, March 19.—The Morning

DESPITE HARD TIMES

A Comparison of Bonxton’a Bnalnm*
With Other Cltlo* of tho United
State*.
(Real Estate and Building Journal.]
The last census pave:
dlevelana, Ohio, a population of....251,353
Houston, Texas, a population of.27,557
For week ending March 10th:
Cleveland did business amounting to..51,231,913
Houston, Texas, did business amouu t
lng to. 4.322.000
Cleveland now claims 300,000 and
Houston 50,000 population.
Houston does more business every
week, with its 50,000 people, than
St. Paul, population.133,895
Denver, Col., population ....100,713
Indianapolis. Ind., population.106,435
Allegheny, Pa., population...106,287
Rochester, N. Y., population.133,880
Providence, R. I., population..132,140
There are seventy-six other cities in
the different parts of the country,
.from New England to the extreme
west, ranging in population from ■ 3d,
000 to 100,000, and Houston does from
four to six times us much business as
any one of them. .
Houston had no bank failures and its
business during 1893, despite the panic,
grew steadily. Its prosperity can be
easily accounted for in its fourteen
railroads, all trunk lines, water trans
portation with the world, and the enor
mous territory of productive country
tributary to it, the population of which
is on farms producing cotton, corn,
wheat, lumber, sugar, fat cattle and
wool.
There is no army of unemployed in
Texas. The population is agrarian in
stead of urban.
Business brings population to cities.
Houston will not long remain smaller
than other cities which do less than
one half as much business.
In one month’s sales of lots in one
of its suburbs, Houston Heights (which
by the way has every modern manu
facturing or residence advantage of a
suburb to any city in the country), the
purchasers included people from eleven
different states. See this prosperous
city of Texas and take advantage of
the excursion rates offered April 10th
and 24th by the M., K. & T. railroad.
One fare for the round trip; and the
Bock Island, C., B: & Q. and Santa Fe
make a rate a little more than one fare
for round trip.

Emporia, Kan., March 17.—The
Women's Amendment club, which has

men of the city to spell against an
equal number of women of the club,

That is a question for the iurv"
said J udge Bradley. J
Mr. Carlisle inquired whether any
patients ns the asylum had been in the
habit of veiling themselves, to which
the sister replied: “There were two
or three ladies who veiled their faces
when they thought there was danger
of being recognized by visitors from
Cincinnati.”
When asked if there had been a pa
tient there in 1885 by the name of Bur
govne, the sister answered: “The
name is not familiar.”
The cross-examination was very
brief, Sister Cecelia saying in answer
to Mr. Butterworth that she had held
several conversations with Miss Pol
lard since her arrival in Washington
After the two sisters had retired the
reading of deposition by Kate Perry
Kane of 52 Front street, Cincinnati,
who had been in the spring of 1885 a
member of the firm of Drs. Buchanan
& Perry, was begun by Mr. Carlisle.
Mrs. Kane remembered that Miss
Pollard had boarded in their house
as Dr. Buchanan’s patient, under the
name of Miss Louise Wilson, identify
ing the plaintiff positively. From
the cross examination in the deposi
tion, it appeared that Miss Pollard was
described by Dr. Buchanan as “an un
fortunate girl from Kentucky.” The
boarder was understood to be an un
married woman, and once after she
had been to meet a friend at a hotel
about some financial matters, Dr.
Kane asked why she did not marry
the friend, to which Miss Pollard re
plied that she could not; that he had
rained her and she loathed him, had
steeled her heart against him and
would not marry him although he had
offered to marry.
Martin’s Pension Bill.
Washington, March 15.—The house
committee on invalid pensions ordered
a favorable report on the bill of Rep
resentative Martin, Democrat, of In
diana, doing away with the require
ment of honorable discharge as a pre
liminary to a pension. In many cases
death has occurred during a furlough
or outside of military duties. In such
cases no honorable discharge is in ex
istence, and the widow is cut off from
securing a pension. The bill makes
the death of a soldier equivalent to an
honorable discharge except where the
death occurs during desertion.
