BBOWNVII.LE , Neb. , August a [ Special
Correspondence of the BKE. | The examina
tion of Hlrnm Schoonovcr for the murder
ot his mother-in-law , Mrs. Sloss , bas devel
oped a queir state ot facts. Schoonover cul
tivates a farm near town. For weeks past
his melon patch and cornlleld have suffered
from the depredations of the small boy , and
Hiram decided to lay for him. On Saturday
night armed with a shotgun nnd dog ,
he waited for the enemy. About 10 o'clock
nn object appeared In the corn and slowly
approached. The dog sprang at the Intruder
and suddenly retreated. The action of the
dog convinced Schoonover that the Intruder
was a sKunk , and as soon as it came within
lighting distance ho tired. Springing to the
place where the victim fell ho found that ho
had shot his mother-in-law , Mrs. Mary J.
Sloss , an old lady aged seventy. The charge
of small shot penetrated her left thigh , pro
ducing a frightful wound and causing death
in a few hours.
Coroner Operman took charge of the re
mains , empanelled a jury and field an exam
ination of witnesses on Sunday. Mr. and
Mrs. Schoonover , their son Henry and sev
eral neighbors were examined. The only
point differing from the facts above related
was made by George Sherburn and Colonel
S. M. Klch , neighbors. The former testified
that Mrs. Sloss complained that she was
not well treated by Schoonover and that ttie
people need not be surprised If they should
iind her dead some day. aherburn further
testified that Schoonover said to him last
spring that if Mrs. Sloss would perfect the
title to her property and then peg out he
would bo fixed. Colonel Klch stated
that Mrs. Sloss came to him to have her will
drawn and oxpro.ssed the fear that the
Schoonovers would kill her. She did not
wish to leave her property to them. Schoon
over denied the conversation sworn to by
Sherburn , and exclaimed , with tears In his
eyes , " 1 killed the old lady , but 1 wouldn't
have done It for anything If 1 had known ft
was her. I love her now , and she couldn't
ha\e done anything mean enough to make
mo not love her. I would as soon shot my
self or any of my children. " The moon was
rising when the accident happened. He
could not explain why Mrs. Slws did not
speak before the shooting , Ho did not think
of speaking himself. He thought the old
lady did not care whether she was Killed or
not , as she was tired of the world. She had
a strange weakness for roaming In the fields
at night and taking things , and near where
the body was found tlieio were several ears
of corn which she had taken from the stalks
that night.
The jury returned a verdict "that Mrs.
Sloss came to her death by the hands of
Hiram Schoonover. who shot heron August
6,1887 , about 10 o'clock p. m. , with a smooth
bore rlflo loaded with line shot , and we , the
jury , find him euilty of manslaughter. "
Schoonover has lived In this vicinity for
twenty-one years , and has always borne a
fair reputation. All sorts of rumors arc
now afloat regarding his family troubles , and
many are disposed to believe that there was
more method than accident In the tragedy.

will be trained for the Catholic gospel In the
French African possessions and all other
African territory. It Is under Jjavlgerle's

women will be able to civilize and christian
ize the African youth 'with ' far greater suc

essary measures to drill them for the work.
As regards the free state I will no longer

LONDON , August 9. [ New York Herald
Cable Special to the BEE. | E. C. Carter ,
of the New York Athletic club , met his old
opponent , W. N. Coad , the South London
harrier , this evening at the London Athletic
club's grounds , Stanford bridge , Chelsea , to
decide the supremacy In a four-mile run.
About 3,000 spectators came out. Including
representatives of all the cross-country clubs
around London and many Americans. The
grand stand hold many bookmakers , just
back from the Kempton park races , who
anxiously asked two to one on
Carter. In a select center , set
apart of officials and pressmen , was
Sir John Astioy , who is to bo referee In the
Kilrain-Smlth prize light. Precisely at 7
o'clock a cheer denoted that the men wore on
tlie ground , which was of cinder , with four
laps to the mile. Coad was wearing blue
trunks , with crimson stripes. Carter wore
the Now York scarlet and white and ap
peared in line condition. The tropical-like
heat had now cooled and a pleasant breeze
lining up from the northwest as the pistol
was lired for the start Coad led by four
ards for the first quarter. The race was
now anxiously followed by continuous
cheering , Coad seebilng to have all thr
boisterous sympathy , and fooIUhly spurting
until the first mile , when both
settled down to a better pace , and finished
, he second with Coad barely leading. On en-
erlm the eleventh lap Carter , without exhaustion
haustion , drew away , Coad appearing to be
couio suddenly weak , but struggled on until
thirty yards short of the third mile , when he
gave up , Carter being forty yards In front
The latter finished his third mile , keeping on
with loud cheering , which , now he had won ,
was transferred from Coad to himself ,
lie broke the tape at 30 minutes and 10
seconds , stopping Immediately to shake
Coad's prolfttred hand , when Carter's friends
broke into the grounds aud carried him
shoulders high Into the dressing room , where
he had a cold shower bath. Coad challenged
Carter to run again at Katham grounds , but
the latter declined , as the grounds are
thought by runners unfair , beiug uneven
and very small.
When your correspondent congratulated
arter he seemed pleased. "Do you run
again ? " I asked.
"Yes : at Dublin on the 24th , against F.
Conneff , the amatuer champion ol
Ireland , for twenty guineas and
gold medal , and sail for New York
in the Italy on the 30th. I shall have a hard
job to beat Caaneff , Out If 1 succeed I shall
have plenty of championships to take back
with me. "
"What are they , Mr. Carter ? "
"The four aud ten mile championship ol
England , the championship of Ireland , and
the satisfaction of Dealing Coad to-day , who
has already won two southern counties
championships himself. "

Old Dominion Politic * .
WABIIINOTON , August 0. [ Special Tele
gram to the BKK.J Advices from Virginia
are to the effect that the campaign has fairly
opened. Prominent republicans say that no
convention will be called this year. It Is
unusual to call ono except In years when
nominations are to be made. Ono of Gen
eral Mahono's most confidential friends .in
the state expresses the bullet that his party
will confine the Issues of the campaign
chiefly ito national questions. The most
prominent among these will probably DO
the repeal ot the International reve
nue system , the Blair educational
bill and the tariff. The expectation Is
that the republican state committee will ap
point a sub-committee to prepare an address
to the voters of the state. Hon. John S.
Wise and some of the young leaders , who
have followed Mahone In other campaigns ,
will bo with him again this year. It is un
derstood that Mahone himself will take part
In the approaching canvass. The republi
cans admit they have little hope of securing
a majority in the senate. The light is to be
directed almost entirely towards getting con
trol ot the house ot delegates to give them a
majority of the legislature on joint ballot
and elect Mahone to the senate.
Cleveland and His Trip.
WASHINGTON , August9. Invitations con
tinue to pour In upon President Cleveland
and almost the entire time of ono ot the
clerks at the whlto house Is occupied in
scheduling and recording them , lie has been
invited to visit almost every city In the west
and south , Including San Francisco , Now
Orleans and Galvoston. The president is
seriously considering the best use he can
make of tlio limited time he has allotted him
self for his western and southern trip , and
ho will take a route which will enable him to
visit briefly the principal renrusentatlvecitlos
of the two sections of country. He has about
made up his mind ho will not go further west
'hail Kansas Clty.and very littleif any further
j'liith than Atlanta. Ho does not desire
to bo absent from the capital more than
twenty days , but delays and unavoidable
circumstances may prolong his absence live
or ten days more. Ho will bugln the pre
paration of his annual message to congress
upon his return to Washington , and that and
other important matters which will then
claim his personal attention will prevent his
extending his visit much beyond the first of
November. It Is expected that the pro
gramme for his trtp will bo prepared within
the next two weeks. None of the Invitations
not already acted upon will not bo answered
until that Is arranged.

The Races.
Everything is In fine sha | > o for the open
ing of the races at the fair grounds ,
which wilt be called itt ono o'clock sharp this
afternoon. These races are made under the
auspices of the Nebraska association ot
trotting horse { breeders , and are expected to
bo the most Interesting that wore every held
In the state , as there Is a long list of nomi
nations , embracing the very best stock In
Nebraska , and everything has boon perfected
In a way that assures the fullest success.
The track has been sprinkled every night for
a week past aud this luointng was found to
bo in an exceptionally flue condition , of a
hard , springy reslstenco vu'll calculated for
bringing out the horses' best speed.
In the 2:88 : stallion trot this afternoon Per
suader , Le Count , Counsellor and McFarland
are down for starters , and owing to the
evenness ot the match the struggle Is ex
pected to be ono of an oxtraordlnailly thrill
ing character , aud no man can safely pick
the winner. It Is one of those races when
"tips" don't count. In fact a "tip" on a
stake race Is an anomaly , as they are always
on the dead square.
The three-year-old trot lee , will bo n good
one , as the horses are very evenly matched ,
and eight ate sure to go.
The first race will bo the two-year-oldwith
ten starters , as follows :
