Jitter fcauc. Chii 400, May 8. At S o'clock list night, while the streets were crowded, George J. Marshall, proprietor of s large dry goods store at 37'j-:2 Wesl Madison street, was shot and instantl) killed in front of hia place of buiiueM while pursuing thiee bighwayiiren whe had jijst attempt."1, to rob the store. Ifis cashier had just Iieen shot through her hand w hile behind her desk. A large number of shots were fired on the streets and two persons passing were seriously injured. It was the must daring attempt at holding up a cashier y a tempted in Chicago. The dead : George J. Marshall, proprietor of the ?iore. The wounded : Miss Maitie Garretson, cashier, shot through hand. Miss Kittie Hynes, shot through both legs while passing the scene on a cable car. A. S. Bagg, shot in leg while trying to head off one of the robbers. Shortly before 9 o'clock a man, ap parently about fifty years old, entered the store of George J. Marshall and asked what time the store would close. On being informed that 9 o'clock was the closing hour he departed. Prompt ly at 9 o'clock the man returned with two iom anions. Two of the men came inside of the store while the third stood guard at the door. Each man wa armed with two revolvers. The two men who went into the store, im mediately approached Miss Garretson at the cashier's deck and leveling the'r revolvers at her ordered her to oieu the cash drawer. The voung lady re fused and closing the drawers, turned the combination. One of the robbers shot her in the hand, but not quick enough to prevent the drawer from Ix-iiig locked. Mr. Marshall, being in the store at the time, hurried to the Cashier's desk and the robbers ran out, pursued by him. When on the eide walk, the three desperadoes tired two flu ts each at the proprietor and then firing to scatter the crowd started away on a run. Marshall was hit by two balls, one in the temple and the other in the left breast. He died in stantly. Just at the time the tragedy occurred a Went MadiBon cable train passed and two bullets went through (die of the open cars. One of them passed through loth legs of Miss Kittie Hynes, a passenger. A general panic followed, and in the effort of the passengers to get off and away from danger many were badly bruised. Two of the high waymen ran east on Madison street and the other weHt. The two running eaf t had gone about a block when they were ordered to halt by A. S. Bragg, who happened to be passing at the time. Bagg was immediately shot and fell while the fleeing men went on their way unm ilested. Thirty minutes after the shooting oc curred the chief of police personally apjieared at the place of the murder with a large force of detectives. He hai a dcjcriptiou of the men from over a dozen witne.-ses, who can positively identify them, and lielieves he knows who the robbers are and that he can capture them. No customers were iu the Marshall store last night at the time of the tragedy but a number of girls were behind the counters. All were badly frightened. JurkRun Tried. Cincinnati, O., May 8. The defense in the Scott Jackson trial gained an im portant point yesterday through a slip of the prosecution. All the Green castle depositions covering Will Woods' admission of his guilt with Pearl l!yy an were previously ruled out of evidence- The state, however, put Wood on in rebuttal and the court then or dered that the depositions lie allowed to go to the jury. These documents will now substantiate Jackson's statements that Wood and not he was responsible for the motive which led to the murder. While Wood was on the witness stand yesterday morning, he declaied that he never had improper relations with Pearl Bryan. After court had taken a recess at noon Attorney Crawford said : "I am confi dent that the jury will return a verdict of acquittal, I am as sure of it as I am that I stand here." Attorney Nelson appears equally confident of a verdict of guilty. The testimony during the afternoon was of little moment. Shut Imtl. Ci.iVKt.ANn, 0., May 8. William Worcecter was shot and killed last night at 7 o'clock by John T. Bayne, while attempting to murder his wife, Sarah, in the Hubbard building at 284 Detroit st.eet.

At a iate I. our Tu -sday nigl.t came the most siartli' g of all the sensational rumors of this e'range ami complicated case. Mrs. Stetson hail not died a natural death, she committed suicide. Ami still it v as more ti.au mere runmr : it was stated as a positive fact by a well known actress who is a friend of the family and conversant - with the inside facts. She says that Mis. Stet on co.nmitted siiic.de and die.i in terrible convulsions. The prostration which was publicly stated as the cause of her confinement to the ho'.is. after the funeral of her husband was riot the ordinary nervous prostra'ion canned by grief at the death of her husband. It was far worse than that. Accord inn to this friend of the family, the incidents at the death bed of John Stetson and those immediately following caused Mrs. Stetson to take her own life. John Stetson's dying lips I ad whimpered in his w ife's ears words which caused he hart to break. He confessed to her that she was not his legul wife that there were o'.hers whose c aim to that title were uioie ' a'i I th in hers. I rfl Kxaminerl. Ne Vorr, May 7. Collector Ril hreth received a communication from Secretary Oiuey Tuesday, which may renilt in every horse which is shipped a! mad from this port being subjected to art examination by a veterinary sur geon. Secretary Olney stated that he was in receipt of official complaints from the AuHtro-Hungarian minister regarding the rejection, by bis povern ment, of numerous intended importa tions of American horses. These horses were not allowed to enter Austro-Hun-gary, liecause it was claimed they were diseased. As New York is the principal port from which horses are shipped to Austry-Hungary, Secretary Olney com municated with Gollector Kilbreth. Collector Kilbreth will furnish Secre tary Olney with data regarding the horse shipments from New York, and it is possible action will soon be taken looking to the establishment of a "bu reau of horse inspection." To llTua. New York, May 7. A Herald spe cial from Washington says: Consul Geiinral Fitzhuuh Lee is to be accompanied to Havana by an officer ol the regular army. When he was appointed, one 'of his first acts was to telegraph to Major Edward M. Hayes of the Seventh cavalry, better known as "Captain Jack" Hayes, asking him to meet him in Washington. Consul-General Te and Major Hayes served together in the army before the late war and are warm personal friends. They saw the president and 'alked the matter over and it was arranged that Major Hayes should go with Lee. It is stated that he will not have any official relations with the consulate, but be in Cuba simply as an army officer on leave. He will, however, give Consul General Lee the benefit of his advice and assistance, and his long experience in the army, most of it on the plains, will be of creat service to the consul general in forming an intelligent idea of the military situation in the island.

Wis., May 7.-All wa quiet in M il waukee last night. A t a spe cial meeting of the common council yes terday afternoon resolutions were passed demanding that the street rail way company be compelled to settle the strike by arbitration.

Mii. iii kKK, Wis., MaC6. The strike of the s'.ieet railway men was still on ye tt-idjy. Not a itr-el car was run Monday night. 1 he time given by the company to the men to return to work or lose their places expired at noon yesterday. There are reports of largt cangs of men being brought into tht ciiy by the company to take the Btrikerr pi ces. If this is I'one and an atiempt made to tun the cars, trouble w 11 cer tainly rem.t. Yeaterlay morning there were only two or three tars out, but alxmt 9 o'clock an attempt was made to get uiore to runtiing. These were followed by hooting and jeering crowds. Tne chief of police and the sheriff are busy summoning extras and deputies, und will be prepared as far as possible for any disturbance. There was a riot on Reed street 011 the south side yesterday afternoon. A mob Moppet', a car and lilted it from the track and the police had h ird work to keep the crowd fiom smashing it. On the Twelfth street line a jiortiou of the track was Uirn up ami big stones rolled Ukjii it. The mayor ismed a proclamation yesterday afternoon asking the people to keep off the streets and to be quiet and orderly. If an attempt is made to run the cars serious trouble may res ult. There were very fe changes in the eit'iation of the strike yesterday. Al though the electricians' union went out in a body yesterday morning, the street car company managed not only to ha' e about the same number of cars running jeaterday as it had on Monday, but also to keep the electric lamps on the public streets burning to maintain its contract with the city. Still the accommodation by cars was very poor and people preferred to walk or to use the many 'bus lines established since the beginning of the strike. There were some disturbance at ditferent p'aces, but none of them very serious. Big crowds would yell as soon as they noticed a car driven by "scabs." At the healquarters of the union every body was fueling confident. It was re ported late last night that many men who were working for the company had quit again and the machines of the power hoiiHe on River street are under the sole care of Superintendent Craw ford and his assistant, as all the hands are out. CiHHollne Ag-alit. Brooklyn, N. Y., May 6. By the explosion of a gas stove in a flat at the corner ol liushw ica ana Johnson ave nue yesterday morning three persons were burned to death and one person seriously injured. Mrs. Rebecca Cohen attempted to light a gasoline stove in the kitchen of her apartments about V :30, when the stove exploded. The woc.an's clothing caught fire and she ran to her two children, Karl, fourteen months old, and Solomon, three years old, and clasped them in her arms, set ting their clothes on fire. The woman then ran across the hallway to the apartments of her sister, Mrs. Pasta nack, screaming loudly fo- help. Mrs. Pastanack endeavored to extinguish the fire in which her sister was enveloped and in doing so her own clothing caught. Mrs. Pastanack, with her clothing on fiie, ran to her two children, Solomon, eight years old, and Rosie, two years old, and lifted them in her arms. The two women and the four children, their clothing ablaze, then ran into the ball way. Help soon arrived and Mrs. Cohen was taken to St. Catheine'a hos pital, but died before reaching there. Mrs. Pastanack was found in a corner of the hallway, and the children were found badly burned in Mrs. Cohen's apartments. They were taken to St. Catherine's hospital, but Karl died shortly after reaching there, It is ex pected that Solomon Cohen will recover. The Pastanack children were removed to the hospital, but they are so badly burned that the physicians have little hope of saving them. Isaac KtiHchaw, who attetnped to put out the fue, seized a siphon bottle, which exploded in his hands. A pioce of the glass struck him over the right eye causing a bad but not dangerous wound. The loss by the fire is $100. iilAlon. Bi laiNOTON, la., May 6.

The Question is Still fending in tb Conference. THE WOMEN SEEM TO BE AHEAD Hthliop Merrill PrJlfa and Koine Ytariu Kpeeclie A re 5Ud. Cleveland, O., May 5. Bishop Mer rill of Chicago called the Methodist general conference to order and the morning devotional exercises were led by Uev. Dr. Jesse L. Aunbut, secretary of the Sunday school union. The Rev. Dr. Muller of Cleveland, at tempted to read a series of resolutions on the subject of war and arbitration, but was prevented by the chair, who ruled him out of order. The Rev. Dr. Henry A. Buchtel, of Indianapolis created a great deal of laughter by moving that the Bishop's address be read in every Methodist pul pit. The motion was amended by some wag, who wanted BiBhop Warren to read it in every Methodist pulpit in the land. The rules were suspended and Dr. Muller was allowed to read his resolu tion on arbitration. The resolution de plored war and asked the United States to help the cause of arbitration. After some wrangling the resolution was adopted. The report of the committee on eligi bility had not been read at noon. Bishop Merrill announced that the order of the day wss the report of the committee ou eligibility. The secretary read tho majority re port, which declared that wmiien had a constitutional right to membership in the conference. Rev. Dr. A. G. Kynett, w ho is leading the fight for the women, made a speech in favor of the adoption of the report. It was a historical account of the ques tion, and was a masterful presentation of the women's side of the question. The Rev. Dr. Neeley of Philadelphia read the minority report. It is raid that the minority had carefully inquired into the question and had found that the women possessed no rights in the conference whatever. Dr. Neeley made a fervid speech in favor of the minority report. His cilief point was that women could onj be admitted by a change in the constitu tion. "That could only be done," he said, "by a three-quarter vote of the members of the annual conferences and the approval of the general conference." Dr. Neeley moved to substitute tbe minority for the majority report. This was lost. Other vigorous speeches for and against women were made. The discussion continued at length and was heated at times. Dr. W. A. Kneighton of California made a hit in his opening sentence. lie addressed the conference as "Mr. Presi dent, brethren and sisters," and was greeted with prolonged applause. He held that the conference bad a right to pass upon the eligibility of woman, as it was a matter of law and the confer ence is the supreme court of the church. Dr. Forbes of Minnesota and Dr. Gray of Pennsylvania were the ls.Bt to address the conference upon the mi nority report. Dr. Stephenson of Ken tucky opened the debate on the ques tion this morning. Very little outside of the debate was done. At the special evening session for the reception of fraternal delegates Rev. Jshn J. Iewis of New Zealand, the representative of the Australian Wes leyan conference, traced the growth of ir.ethodism In that part of the world and Rev. Dr. J. C. Morris of Nashville discussed the growth and work of the southern church. The Bession then adjourned. I-argDst in tlie Country . Rapid City, R. D., May 5.

Thomas O'Gorman, formerly of the Catholic university of the United States, was jeaterday installed as bish op of So nh Dakota to succeed Bishop Martin Marty, transferred to St. Cloud, Minn. The impressive ceromsnies were conducted by Ar.-I, bishop Irelami. Ad-mit-sion to the church was by tickets, ma le necessary by the limited seating capacity. The archbishop as assisted by Bishop S. B. Cotter of Winona, Bibh op J ohn Shanley of Faro, N. D., aad about twenty priests. Archbishop Ire land, in the course of an eloquent dis course, eaia that twenty years ago, when Bishop Marty was installed over the diocese of Dakota, there were but three priests in the diocese, atht terri tory having fcince been divided into two flourishing dioceses, and the expansion had just begun. Bishop O'Gorman spoke feelingly of the relations he had just severed and jf the responsibility he was assuming. Saturday night the distinguished .'uesLs were tendered an informal re ception at the Cataract house, which was attended by 500 citizens, over nalt of whom were protestants. Rev. D. B. Scott of the First Congregational church was the first one to enter the. reception room. This evening the citizens will fender the archbishop and Bishop O'Gorman a banquet at which covers will be laid for 200. Among those who will respond to toasts are Archbishop Ireland, Bishop O'Gorman and Bishop W. H. Hare of the Episcopal diocese of South Dakota. China Cave. Washington, May 4. Most of the space devoted t) China in the forthcom ing volume of "foreign relations for 1895," part of which has been made public, shows that vigorous measures were threatened by the United States if China would not take proper meas ures for the investigation of the assaults on American and other missionaries at Cheng-Tu and Kutien and the punish ment of the offenders, Second Assist ant Secretary of State Adee, who was acting secretary during the progress ot most of the correspondence, sent some, sharp dispatches on the subject. When it was reported that Liu, the viceroy of Szechuan, who was charged with in stigating the riots, had beer, appointed a commissioner to investigate, Mr. Adee wired Minister D?nby: "Commissioner Liu disrespectable ; his report would not inspire confidence," and in a latter com munication he said : "You cm hardly have failed to remonstrate at once against the offensive indecency of ap pointing such a man." It turned out that Liu had not been selected. The Chinese government,' however, declined to degrade and pun ish the viceroy and this government de-, cided to make an investigation inde pendent of the British and French com mission. The Chinese authorities vig orously opposed the appointment of this commission, but finally agreed to allow it to proceed, beginning, however, to put impediments in the way of sending it to the scene of the outrages. This caused Secretary Olney to wire Mr. Denby that "if there is any further de lay or hesitation in complying with just demands, report immediately." There was no further trouble and the Chinese government soon issued a decree de priving Viceroy Liu of office. ' 1 San Francisco, May 4. (Special Cor respondence of the United Press, per U. S. S. Concord, from Honolulu, April 23.) Maunaloa volcano broke out in eruption about 9 a. ra., on the 21st. A telephone message from Hilo to Kawaihae gave an estimate of 7,000 feet as the height of a column of lava jetting from the summit as seen from Hilo. forty miles distant. Observed by daylight from Kawaihae, the emis- nion of emoke. was immense. The fol lowing night the illumination on the clouds was brilliant, as seen from Lahaino, 110 miles away as the bird flies. None but the greatest eruptions have heretofere been conspicuous at Lahaino. Last night the glow over Maunoloa was seen from the lookout at Diamond Head, Honolulu, 180 miles distant. These facts indicate an erup tion of unusual magnitude. It is prob able that a great lava stream is flowing down the mountain, which is 13,000 feet high. Nothing can be known here cf its direction for some days, whether inland or towards some part of the shore, or whether it threatens destruc tion to any plantation or village, The United States gunboBt Ben nington sailed on the 22d for Sar Francisco.
