Ten deaths have already oc curred in as many different families. It.was thought for some time that it ■could be kept out of the town, hut a failure to observe proper sanitary pre cautions brought it in, and the check ing of it is worrying the most skillful phy&i-cuans. So far it has been confined to children. The Board of Health neg lected.to quarantine the mfeeted dis tricts until too late. It has paralyzed' business to a large degree.

Th« engine at once becoming unmanage able, began running backward down the hill so fast that it was impossible for Mr. Pettit and a man named Blue, who was guiding the engine, to jump. In their efforts to escape Pettit fell and was run over by both wheels of the engine, breaking his right leg in two ; places and injuring him internally to ! such an extent that he died, i LATEST tariff reports. Iron Likely to Kematn on the Dnltable Lint-— Concessioni to the House. Washisgton, July, 1G. —It was an nounced to-day that the tariff conferrees had agree! to scale down the cotton schedule • about fire per cent from the senate rate and the woolen schedule also has been brought down a considerable per cent, making it more in accordance with the house Tates while the tobacco schedule has been bnought back to the house rate on the important item of wrappers, the rate being SI instead of the senate rates <3f SI-50 and $2.25. The metal schedule has not been materially changed from the rates fixed by the senate. Neither iron nor steel has been carried back to the free list as in the house bill and while the decision is not final there is every reason to believe -that the senate rate of forty cents per ton on each will stand. .The income -tax'has not yet been reached but there is little disagree ment exception the item of limiting the tax to fixe years and on this the conferrees lia-ve not yet come together. The iss®e between the ad valorem and specific rates thus far has not re sulted in as much of a return to the house ad -valorem rates as was expect ed, as it has been found that in some cases the ad valorem rates were greatly iu excess of the specific. The whisky schedule has been a source -of determined contest for two days, the main effort being to secure a compromise-on the basis of SI per gallon-and an extension of the bond ing period to five years. This is re sisted on the ground that while it is an apparent increase of ten cents in the -tax, it will, in fact, yield the government'no additional revenue. The house- conferrees are willing to grant an extension of two years over the time fixed by the house bill for the -bonded period on whisky, but the senators are holding out for the en tire .period Of eight years and for tne fullrtwenty cents a gallon increase of tke tax. ___ JEALOUSY’S AWFUL WORK. Jk Nm<7a Husband Kills Two Men — Is in Turn Shot by His Wife. iOTELOck-s. Nev., July 1G.—Mrs. Robert Logan of this place, recently applied for a divorce from her hus band, who was insanely jealous of Iher. A few days ago she went to Cottonwood to visit her mother. Logan followed, and that night at tacked and severely wounded Dan Lovelock, the stage driver. Mrs. Logan 'brought the stage back. Wednesday she went to Cottowood to bring.

He was armed with a Win chester and ordered his wife to leave the stage and go with him. She re fused, saying she was going home. Logan then said he would go too and rode on behind. About two hours later Mrs. Logan heard a shot and, 'turning, saw Sullivan fall with a bul let through his heart. Then the raur •derer shot Lovelock, who was too •weak'to defend himself, and he fell ■ dead.in Mrs. Logan's lap. Logan then got into the stage and taking the reins from his wife drove ito1 the-.well, into which he said he in tended- to throw the bodies of the 'murdered men, and then would kill ihis wife. She persuaded him to water : the horses first and as he stooped to -secure, a bucket from under the stage she took a pistol from Lovelock’s pocket and when he arose she shot him. 1 He begged: for mercy, but tak ing aim, she fired again and he fell behind the stage. She dismounted amd: fired one more shot into her bus band’s prostrate .form to make sure that he was dead. Leaving Logan’s body lying in the dust, the plucky woman drove into -town-with the other dead men and told, the news. lllJECTED BY THE MANAGERS. glhclPrpposition of Mr. Debs to Call Off • the Striks Declined. -Chicago, July 16.—The publication of a -statement that a statement signed.by Eugene V.

Declare* That the Head of tlio Brother hood of Locomotive l.nglneer* Will Go Down i i IIif*tory as a Traitor to Oi. ;uiw«mI Labor—Working to Ue?;tin Lost J restige — Strike News. Chicago, July 17.—The American Railway uniou officials have deter mined to make a desperate struggle to regrain for that order the prestige it has lost in the great strike now rapidly approaching a close. The executive board of the union held a meeting yesterday, the object of which was to map out a course for the future. After a lengthy discussion it was decided to scud out “revivalists" to all important sections of the West. Six agitators had been sent out Sat urday and it was decided to augment this number. “The names of those sent out Sat urday will not be given out,'' said President Debs to a reporter, "for fear of their being arrested for incit ing a strike.” Aft6r the meeting adjourned an en thusiastic meeting was held in Uhl rich's hall, President Debs presiding He made a rousing speech, reminding one of the early days of the strike. “The strike,” he said “is now—right now—more prosperous and encourag ing than ever before. We cun anil must win. The men who have gone back to work will again come back to us and victory is ours. “Grand Chief Arthur of the en gineers is a scab jobber, .and he will go down in history as a traitor to or ganized labor. He instructs his men to work with scabs and tells them that scabbing is honorable. He is a tool in the hands of the general man agers. It was learned elsewhere, however, that Director Kern mis sent to St. Louis to rally the forces there. Hogan was sent out over the Northern Pa cific to stir.up the employes of that company, an l Goodwin was sent over the Northwestern to use his influence with the employes of that railway, and if possible induce them to go out. These delegates are ;all members of the executive board of the union. Other emissaries were sent out to work with employes of the many lines entering the city Fifteen meetings were held in dif ferent parts of the city during the afternoon and evening, several of which were addressed by Debs, lie will to-day give out a statement in answer to the -one made by IPnllman. Mr. Debs said several of his com mitteemen had reported to him the Bock Island, Labe Shore, Eastern Illinois, Grand Trunk and Western Indiana men would all be-out again to-day. Nothing could be learned outside to verify the assertion, how ever. President Debs visited the stock yards and addressed a crowd of strikers, who have, tfor.the most part, failed to secure their old positions. He urged them to-continue The-strike, which, he doclared, was-never nearer a victory tlia-n now. The men agreed to-stand by Debs, but at the -same time expressed themselves violently against the men who have taken their places. The-switchmen and engineers were especially loud in their protests against a surrender. The butchers also had bitter words, all th^e men having -seen their jobs filled the day before by non-union and imported men. The opinion was expressed loudly that the war was only begun. During the day the district was 'plastered and covered with bills and posters reading as follows: “Execu tive board of .Knights of Labor do hereby advise all workmen to keep away from the stock yards on Mon day, as it is the desire of all organ ized bodies that all honest workmen should do-so. and we further condemn the action of the coopers in returning to work as high-handed and selfish, without asking concessions for the laborers, and that all men found working.in the yards on Mondav will forever be branded as enemies of or ganized labor. 03y order of the com mittee.” SOUTHERN PACIFIC MOVING. | Trains A*w L’UMftnj Tender Heavy Mili tary Eaoort Sax Fkaxcisco, Jhuiv 17.—All trains are moving approximately on schedule time.

Jesus Christ was an anarchist and a socialist, hut I never read of his being a deputy sheriff. [Cheers. | Not hing has dis couraged me so much in the past few weeks as to see so many men anxious to take a gun and go out and shoot their fellow men for the mere pittance of $.’l pei- day. "I look at this effort now being made by such men as Pullman as an effort to break up all organizations of laboring men, so that they can deal with the workingmen one by one and gradually get them down to pauper ism and serfdom. “I have been criticised for saying that any man hail the right to take his labor away from any employer, but had not the right to interfere with any other man for taking his place. 1 say now that he lias a right to interfere if he does it in a peaceable way. it is right and just for every man to protect his wages and his job. I also say that a man who does not belong to a union and stands ready to take another man’s place at less wages is an enemy, a spy and an obstructor, and ought, in some peaceable way, to be removed.” He predicted that un less something was speedily done for the laboring classes this country would be plunged into one of the greatest revolutions the world has ever known.

Democrats Will Support Simpson. Topeka, Kan., July 17 —Chairman J. S. Richardson of the Democratic state committee, does not believe that the Democrats will nominate a candidate for congress in the Seventh district. “Our convention will meet at Hutchinson. August ii,” says Mr. Richardson, “and while it is very hard to tell what 117 delegates will do, I predict that no one will be put up against Jerry Simpson, who will lie renominated by the Populists. The Democrats have twice indorsed him in their conventions, and while I am personally in favor of a straight ticket, I do not believe we will get one in the Seventh district.” Blown l’p With Dynamite.

A Cr.tliBl Situation nt California • Capital. San Fiiancisco, July 10.-Seventeen, days have intervened since the ff0“' eral strike was inaugurated on the Southern Pacific system, during the entire period railway traffic has been at an absolute standstill in Northern California. At laast seven, and prob ably nine, human lives have already been sacrificed in the desperate strug gle that is on between the railway company and the Federal government on one side and tlio A- li. U. on the other. The commercial loss lias been enormous. Not only is general traffic almost uta standstill, hut a season’s fruit crop, to the value of hundreds of thousands of dollars, is perishing in the orchards. There is every indication more men ore to be slaughtered in this indus trial war; that the fruit growers are to see more of their crop spoil on their hands, and tiiat the embargo on commerce is to be indefinitely con tinued. When the united states army nun. navy were thrown into the fight it was said the trouble would speedily end. It is now three days since the Federal troops went into the field in Northern California, but the end ia not yet in sight. In fact tlio United States authorities are resisted as jvaa the state militia forces, and the troublous times seem to have but begun. In Sacramento the defiance became so bold yesterday the capital city ia now under actual martial law. United States Marshal Baldwin rode through the streets at the head of a detach ment of thirty cavalrymen yesterday, and proclaimed martial law. lie or dered the people to their homes and bade them remain there until the trouble is over. The adoption of this extreme meas ure was provoked by an outbreak that occurred in Sacramento yesterday forenoon. Only meager detailsof the situation, are to be had here, for what is a press censorship in effect has been estab lished by Colonel Graham. The cor respondent is suffered to pass the military pickets, but it is conditioned that he shall send out no information relative to the movement of trains.
