A young man whose name could not be ascertained, but who works on the farm of Thomas Allen, ten miles north of Eagle, accidentally shot himself last week with a 32-calibre revolver. While handling the weapon he squinted down the barrel and pulled the trigger. The ball struck his forehead just above the right eye, making a ragged \younif, bul coming put without penetrating the brain, lie was taken to Eagle and placed under the influence of chloro form and the ball extracted, lie is a . gritty ypung fellow about eighteen ! years of ag<£ lie refused to give his name.

(i.u.i.aghkk of Brooklyn, is one of the luckiest persons in the world. She was en route home from a winter spent in California, and was sitting in the drawing room of the Pull man on the Union Pacific eating an orange. She was using a fruit knife with silvey blade an^l pearl handle, and. when she had finished she wrap ped the knife up with the peelings and threw the bundle out of the window. This would be a little thing in itself if it were not for the fact that the knife was a personal present to her from Queen Victoria, and consequently val ued beyond price. The package had been thrown out near Albright, in the she arrived she told her story to Officer Fleming of the Union depot squad, and left her address with Ticket Agent Fonda in the depot. The officer tele graphed to South Omaha and also to Albright, and several small boys start ed down the track in search of the gift from royalty. Strange ns it may seem, the knife was found lying loose beside the track, having become dislodged when thrown out, and it was sent to the Union depot. Air. Fonda forward ed it to its owner in Urooklin. Had it not been for the prompt arri val of a deputy sheriff Douglas county would have had another lynching placed to her credit. The scene of the trouble was at Irvington. During the last two weeks two girls have been criminally assaulted in that neighbor hood. The first one assaulted is Amanda Loche, who lives near Denson, a suburb of Omaha. The other is Maggie Carl son, the 15-year-old daughter of Carl Carlson, a well known and highly re spected farmer. The description of the fiend given by the Carlson girl led to the arrest of Abraham W. I.under, who is employed as delivery man for a yeast company in Omaha, and who resides near Irvington. Carlson was satisfied that the man arrested was the one who had assaulted his daughter, and became so enraged that he drew a revolver and atttempted to kill him, but was pre vented from doing so by the officers. Lander was lodged in jail and later was taken before .lustice Crosby, to answer to the charge of criminally as saulting the girls. He pleaded not guilty, and was released on $1,500 bail furnished by his brother. His prelimi nary was held on the 15th. Lander was once before arrested on the same charge, but his victim could not posi tively identify him and he was dis charged. He is a married man and his wife is prostrated with grief at her husband's arrest.

Increase of Wage* by Hlg Employer* ot Labor the Unit Encouraging Feature of tlie Week—Failure* (Slightly Leg* Than Last Fear. New York, May 20.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade, says: "Tlie se vere cold snap, with extensive frosts, and In some states snow, has fortu nately done little damage to the great crops, though much to fruit, but has considerably rearded retail trade. The best news of the week Is the advance of 10 per cent In wages by the Carnegie Works, followed by the Jones Laugh lln establishment, and evidently Imply ing a similar advance by many other concerns. No advance has been found practicable in the woolen mills, where conditions as to prices and foreign com petition are very different and about 10.000 workers are still idle at Olney vllle, where the works should consume 600.000 pounds per week. In other de partments of labor troubles are not se rious, and the demand for manufactur ed products Increases. wun material and steady enlarge ment In domestic trade there is still Kreat want of employment in the inter ior for money which comes hither— $3,500,000 during the last week—and with the millions distributed by the syndi cate on bond account stimulates spec ulation. Accordingly wheat has risen five cents, although the reports of In jury by frost don't appear, upon sift ing, to concern any considerable pro portion of the growing grain. Western receipts for two weeks of May have been 2,917,305 bushels, against 2,600,298 last year, and Atlantic exports 3,059,484, against 4,565,101 last year, being re duced by the advance in price less than would be expected because of generally current reports of decrease of acreage. With only six weeks of the crop year left the stocks In sight constitute a heavy surplus, if not as large as some western statisticians estimate. Corn has ad vanced only % cent, being apparently Injured more than wheat, but the acre age gives promise of a yield of 2,000,000, 000 bushels. "Cotton is an eighth stronger, in spite of the fact that 9,618,081 bales had come Into sight last Friday, which Is over 400.000 bales more than the largest crop ever recorded. Goods are in fair de mand for the season and the advance in prices is maintained. "Wool was remarkably heavy for the last week at the three chief markets, the sales being 5,536,750 pounds, and for two weeks of May 11,059,750 pounds, against 11,767,750 in the same week of 1892, the last year of full demand. In that year the sales of domestic were 6.962.000 and this year 5,681,750 pounds. "Failures during the last week have been 211 in the United States, against 219 last year, end 37 in Canada, aginst £4 last year.” ' .... 'n ., _- . _ UNDER FALLING WALLS. One Man Killed and Two Injured at Chicago. Chicago, May 20.—One man was killed and two others seriously, perhaps, fatal ly, Injured by the falling of a ruined wall at Henry and Brown streets yes terday afternoon. The three victims of the accident belonged to a gang of men engaged in tearing down the walls of the building formerly occupied by the Globe Molding company, which was de stroyed by fire March 2. Twenty-two men had been working on the job before 12 o'clock, and had vainly tried to pull down the section of wall which subse quently fell. This wall had been under mined, and though all the men tugged at It with a rope, they failed to pull it down. When the men resumed work at 1 o'clock in the afternoon orders were given to remove more brick from under the wall, and scarcely had the men started to obey when the whole wall. 40 feet high and 125 feet long, came down about their ears. Some of the men perceived their danger in time to get out of the way, but three of them were caught among the falling brick. Mores SegeH, the subcontractor in charge of the work of demolition, was arrested. He said he had no doubt the accident was caused by a sudden gust of wind. He was confident not a single brick had been removed after the men resumed work In the afternoon before the wall fell. Coal Mining: Situation. Pittsburg. Pa., May 20.—The associ ated coal operators of this district are courting trouble. Following up their proposition that they would pay 69 cents if the Pittsburg and Chicago and the New York and Cleveland companies men could be brought out, F. L. Rob bins announced they would import ne groes from Virginia and pay them 60 cents a ton. Fifteen imported men went to work yesterday. The miners are angry at this turn of affairs, declaring they will have 69 cents. They are mak ing preparations to prevent the new men from going to work and to brint out those now working. Judgment Against New York Sun. London, May 20.—The libel action which the Reuter Telegram company brought against the New York Sun and the Central News, as the distributor of the Sun, for an article which appeared in the Sun Oct. 28, 1894, headed “Spu rious News of the Eastern War.” has resulted in a judgment against the Sun in the Queen's bench division of the high court of justice, the Sun not ap pearing.

SILVERITES ADJOURN. Address Issued to the People of America. Salt Lake City, Utah, May 20.—The bimetallic convention has adjourned. An address was Issued to the people of the country, setting forth the claims of the states represented. California, Col orado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Ore gon, Washington and Wyoming, and the territories of New Mexico and Utah. The claim Is made that the people of these states, irrespective of party af filiations, present themselves almost as a unit demanding the free coinage of sliver and gold at the ratio of sixteen ounces of silver to one ounce of gold, with full legal tender functions accorded to each and no discrimination against either. The address continues: “The monetary system of the country was founded not upon gold alone, not up'-n silver alone, but upon both silver and gold, at a certain ratio to each other, with no limitation upon the coinage of either and each standing upon an equal footing before the law. The system was founded by Hamilton, sanctioned by Washington and Jefferson, Its wisdom and Justice questioned by no one until the year 1873. In that year, without notice to the people, the standard silver dollar was dropped from the coinage system of the country, and every debt therein existing, public and private, ag gregating thousands of millions of dol lars, was made payable in gold alone. Against this monstrous injustice the members of the new party are pledged to labor.” The following executive committee was chosen: Colorado, E. B. Light; Idaho, Q. V. Bryant; California, H. W. Langenour; Montana, F. T. Merrill; New Mexico, T. Bradford Prince; Ore gon, Sydney Dell; Washington, W. C. James; Wyoming, F. W. Mandell; Utah, R. rV Phflmhprs DECISION WILL BE ADVERSE. Report That the Income Tax Will Be Declared Unconstitutional. Chicago, May 20.—A special dispatch from Washington to the Chicago Tri bune says: Chief Justice Fuller has completed writing a decision which up sets the Income tax law entirely and wipes It off the statute books. The de cision has been put In type, returned from the printer, and Is now being con sidered by the majority justices solely on the ground of its general expressions. The law itself is a thing of the past. The conference of Saturday developed the fact that Chief Justice Fuller, Jus tices Field, Gray and Brewer were still opposed to the law as a whole. Prac tically the whole court was willing to exempt state and municipal bonds. A majority of the court, including Justice Jackson, was opposed to the tax on rentals. An apparent majority was in favor of upholding the law as a whole, but just at this juncture Justice Shiras, who wavered during the first hearing, took his stand witn the opponents of the law and then the chief justice went to work on his opinion, knowing it would go down into history as the de cision of the court. It will almost cer tainly be handed down Monday, and the chances are there will be several individual opinions delivered at the same time. EfcCITED MARKETS. Wheat and Corn Prices Raised at Sev eral Points. Chicago, May IS.—Excitement greater than ever marked the grain markets to-day. Corn joined wheat in the as cending scale, and prices went up at a rate that took away the breath of the speculators. It was a bad weather and short crop market, and between this and the influx of orders from the coun try to buy both wheat and corn the market broke away from the profes sionals and went star-hunting again. Corn sold up to 56% from the opening at 51%, and wheat went to 72%, a cent and three-eighths above the starting point of 70%. Prices at other points continued higher than in Chicago. While brokers were offering to sell all the visible sup ply at 69% cents on the floor of the Chi cago bourse, wheat was quoted at 70% cents in Milwaukee, 71% cents in Toledo and 72 cents in Detroit. That considerable damage has been done to the growing crop in Illinois, In diana and Missouri seems certain. Frost and bugs have conspired to reduce the prospective yield, and reports from all portions of those states indicate short crops and unfavorable conditions. ACCEDES TO OUR DEMAND.

Addrass to the Citizen* of goath Carolina. , Columbia, S. C., May 16.—Gov. Evans has issued a long address to citizens of South Carolina in which he deals harsh ly with the recent decisions in the dis pensary and registration cases. He says: "The people of South Carolina have always been law-abiding and re spect the constitution and the courts of the United States. But when the Judges of those courts wantonly invade and trample under foot the recognized rights of our people, guaranteed by the fed eral constitution, they have a right to assert themselves and maintain their sovereignty and independence. This they have ever done and will continue to do and will resist with all the means within their power usurpation and tyr anny and partisan politicians In high places who disgrace the judicial er mine.” He denounces Judge Goff In the most bitter tones, and closes as fol lows: "I appeal to the sovereign peo ple of South Carolina to protect their homes and liberties. The government of the people must and shall be perpet uated, and we are ready to lead the fight under the white man’s flag.” Tariff Dlapute to He Heard May SO.
