Ex-Governor Kedllold Proctor , of Vermont ,
tulies the third place in the cabinet us sac-
rotary of war. Among the reasons for
the recognition of the Green Mountain state
In cabinet counsels are the eminence
of Mr. Proctor in his party , it being stated
that virtually controls it in his own state ,
and the fact that he , as the chairman of the
Vermont delegation to' the Chicago conven
tion last year , was head of the only ouu in
the whole body which voted solidly for Har-
Hson'flrst , last nnd nil the time. On his way
homo. from a visit to California Mr. Proctor
deviated to the house of the president-elect

Its owner. There , it is understood , the ar
rangement was made which gives Vermont
the chief place in the administration of the
agricultural affairs of the nation. Ex-Gov

HniaiN , March 5. With the exception of
the Tagcblatt and Vossischo iCeitung1 , the
papers hero reserve their opinion on Pres
ident Harrison's Inaugural address. The
Tugeblutt says : "Tho address shows nn
arrogant spirit and docs not display par
ticularly friendly feelings toward the other
powers. "
The Vussischo Zoitung says : "Tho friends
of America hope ! for a moro friendly dis
position from Harrison than from Cleveland.
The message hardly strengthens that hope
referring to American claims nnd interests
as if necessarily supreme , a view otner na
tions will not bo inclined to recognize. "
The Politischo Nachrichten speaks of Har
rison's declarations as in every way calcu
lated to inspire confidence In a speedy and
successful settlement of the Samoun trouble ,
the recall of Captain Leary already indicat
ing that another nnd healthier brco/o has be
gun to blow in Washington ,
PAUIS , March 5. The Temps , commenting
on the inaugural address of President Harrison
risen , culls attention to the traditional and
systematic abstention of America from pro
claiming loudly a policy to protect her citi
zens wherever established.
The Liborto does not see how the Monroe
doctrine applies In the c.iso of the Panama
canal , as no power over thought of cstabllsti-
Ing power over the canal.
The Figaro sees in Harrison a rcsolut o

The clerks in the postofllco department dlt
very little business to-day. The building was
given up for n dormitory for the
Fifth , Tenth nnd Fourteenth , regi
ments of the Pennsylvania Homo gunrdswho
were to sleep there last night , but they did
not do much sleeping until towards morning ,
nnd at 0 o'clock , when the clerks came In to
their accustomed labors , they found the
lounges nnd the tables and the floors covered
with wet , half drunken and sleepy militia
men , who refused to vacate. The chief clerk
called upon Colonel Hawkins , of the Tenth
regiment , why appeared to bo in charge , and
told him that ho must remove his men.
Colonel Hawkins declined to do so. The
chief clerk told him that they had been given
the use of tho" department for ono nicht
only , with the understanding that they
should leave before business hours In the
morning , but the colonel remarked that
they had concluded to stay
another day. The chief clerk
threatened to bring in the police , at xvhlch
suggestion the colonel smiled and said there
were not police , marines 6r regular soldiers
enough in Washington to drive his men out
of that department , and the boys have occu
pied it all day. These same soldiers are the
ones who caused the riotsin , Washington nt
tfo inauguration of President Cleveland
four years ago , and cost the state of Penn
sylvania several thousand dollars to settle
the damages. While they have not com
milled any depredation of serious nature to
day they have been engaged iu n good deal
of mischief nnd hnvo frightened n good many
old colored people nearly to death.
MllS. Cf.KVELAXh'U lilfrCOUUTKSr.
There has been a good deal of gossip to-day
about the peculiar action /of Mrs. Cleveland
yesterday , and so "fur no explanation has
been offered. She did not attend the inau
gural ceremonies and she was.not. . present at
the lunch given by President Cleveland to
His successor in office.After the presiden
tial party had left the ciiphVnHn-tho morning ,
Mrs. Cleveland took a.corrtugo' for the resi
dence "of Secretary'Fnirchild , where she re
mained during the diiy. " Never before has
she failed in courtesy in any' respect tind has
observed all of UIQ conventionalities with
Iho most rigorous fidelity , therefore her neg
lect of Mrs. Harrison upon the last day of
her husband's administration is all the moro
the subject of remark ,
There were some other little Incidents in
the domestic department of the white house
that gave Mrs. Harrison a good deal of an
noyance. Several of the servants having
understood that they were to bo discharged
did not wait for the now occupants of the
white house to make their appearance , but
having been paid off on the previous clay by
Colonel Lainont , loft tiic establishment with
out notice. Three or four others wcro found
in a grossly intoxicated condition by the
Harrison family whgn they arrived after tlio
inauguration. It appears that President
Cleveland hud loft several bottles of wine in
the cellar , and after tlio departure of tno
steward the servants had helped themselves.
Three of the door keepers were also drunk
nud disorderly , and behaved themselves in a
most disreputable manner. Colonel Wilson ,
the superintendent of public buildings nnd
grounds , was soon sent for , and cleaned out

OIKVIEW LEASED.
Ex-Prcsldont Cleveland has leased Oak-
view , his summer residence , to Mr. Bailey ,
of this city , who will reside there during the
coming summer. The price at which the
property has bsen leased will pay a 13 per
cent dividend on the investment , which fur
nishes a good reason for not selling , although
a number of lucrative offers have been re
ceived. Mrs. Cleveland'hopes some duy to
bo able to reside at Oakviuw permanently ,
and has been lulling her. friends during the
last days of the administration that she ex
pects to make Washington her homo after
the president had accumulated a sullleient

reason to feel proud of the magnificent light
which wus made for tlio agricultural port

momentarily uncertain whether Governor

to become thoroughly conversant with the
policy of the administration nnd to know the
men who present the applications , nnd to
learn as thoroughly as possible the neces

action. There will bo three assistant post
master generals , a superintendent of the

which have been dumped upon him for mis

service should not become nervous , nor
should those who want to bo United States
marshals , collectors of revenue aud special
agents. Tlio same policy as to changes in
the government service will npply in all
branches , it will bo three or four weeks before -
fore anything of importance is donein tha
way of appointments. President Harrison
und his assistants do not recognize uny general -
oral emergencies or demands which will
bring about wholesale removals , yet they
recognize thai there shall bo n great many
changes nnd that republicans will always bo
given preference for positions outside of the
civil service. The civil service law will bo
respected and enforced ns long us it-Is on
the statute hooks. Whenever President Harrison
risen comes to regard It us an impediment to
the public good he will recommend its appeal ,
but , he Is determined that all laws shall be
enforced while they are in existence. The
suggestions nro thrown out for the Informa
tion not only of men who want
appointments , but for those who
nro in the service. Anpllcants will
not gain any advantage In pushing their
claims Just ut this time. Senators and repre
sentatives In congress are overwhelmed with
applications and thousands of aspirants to
political positions nro here already , person
ally urging their merits. This is not only
unnecessary , but It is distasloful because the
condition of affairs is not such as to warrant
action. These statements are not to bo con
strued to moan that the present administra
tion intends to protect democrats in ollico , to
the disparagement of republicans , nor should
they bo construed to mean that the general
service of the government will need to ho re
organized. It is simply to indicate thai there
should not be too great husto on the uart ol'
oflico seekers aud that the time for Impor
tunities will not como for two or three
weeks.
A STtTlD I'OMCr.MAN" .
It appears that the delay In the proceed
ings in the senate yesterday was caused by
the stupidity of u special policeman , who
prevented the carriage iu which Mrs. Harrison
risen , her son and daughter were riding
from entering the capitol grounds. Uy some
contusion this carriage became separated
from the rest of the presidential party , nnd
when it attempted to approach the capitol a
policeman who was employed for that day ,
lialted the driver. Assistant Sergoant-at-
arnis Reynolds , of the senate , was in charge
of the party and explained to the policeman
that the carriage contained the president
elect's wife and family , but ho suspected
that they were trying to deceive him nnd
told them that they could not play that
game on him. A sergeant of police was
finally summoned , and released Mrs. Har
rison's party from the grasp of the aw.a.- , -
' TTAim ON 'IfATS.
The rain .yesterday ruined thousands of
hats , and the hat stores were crowded this
morning with people having those they were
yesterday done up , or buying now ones.
About 10 o'clock a colored man from tlio
white house came into a store on the avenue
with the silk lints that President Harrison
and his son Husscll were yesterday , to hnvo
them done over. Russell's ' hat was in pretty
good shapa , but the president's ' was ruined
beyond redemption. When ho arose
to take the oath of office' ho
laid it down upon a table ,
which had a rim around the edge of the top
and formed a basin that had filled with water ,
and the hat stood there soaking for nearly
half an hour.

Foi-coil to the \Vnll.
HEADING , Pa. , March 5. Announcement
was made this afternoon of the failure of the
IJeading iron works , which operate in this
city , employing over two thousand five hun
dred hands. _ The firm has given notice of
suspension of payment and called a meeting
of creditors , to bo hold nt the Philadelphia
olllco of the company next Thursday after
noon. It is ono of the largest establishments
of its kind in America , and dispenses in
wnges in this city every year over $1,000,000.
The first Judgment entered against the com
pany was for $40,000 by the Heading railroad
company. The cause of the failure is gen
erally attributed to the stringent condition
of tlio iron trade.
The general belief hero to-night is that the
Reading railroad company will ass'imo con
trol of the Heading iron works ns the princi
pal judgment creditor , that it will issue
Uock or bonds to the other creditors , and
will then run , ns a sort of joint stuck con
cern , several rolling mills In this vicinity
whoso product is controlled by the Heading
iron works , and these , it Is believed , will
shut down to-morrow.
Plill < Ai > iMMitA : , March f > . President Colt ,
of the Heading Iron Works company , when
seen at thu office of the company In this city ,
admitted that the company hud suspended
payment , but declined to make any state
ment of tlio assets and liabilities. It Is said
that a list of the creditors Is being prepared.
A director of the company said this after
noon that ut a meeting to bo hold on Thurs
day the shareholders will bo asked to take
< tock or bonds in exchange- for their claims.
Ho added that unless this was dune the com
pany would be forced to liquidate , und the
creditors would then get very little. The
company hus issued ? if > ( ) , OOJ first rnortgugn

and live hundred men are employed In thu
works at Heading. The works woru origi-
lally owned by Solfert , MeMntius & Co.
I'liis firm failed some , years ago and thu
creditors organized and decided to continue
.ho business under the title of the Heading
Iron Works. Dullness In tnulo and slirink-
igu in prices finally overwhelmed it. A
stockholder said this afternoon : " 1

Mrs. Wallers was found dead nt her homo
yesterday on n ranch ten miles from Hozo-
mr.ii , terribly mutilated. The body was cut
open from tlio lower part of the nbdomen to
the breast , and her throat silt from oar to
ear. A razor was found lying near the bend ,
but not iu the natural position to Justify the
belief Hint it had been used by tlio deceased.
Tlio clothing was torn In several places.
The body was found up stairs lying on a
bed , nnd blood was scattered over
the room and down tliu stairs , Thu
theory of suicide Is not sustained
by the fuels , and the son nnd father of Iho
deceased have been arrcsled upon suspicion.
It Is stated that the son made threats lately
to the effect thai ho would kill bolh his
mother nnd stepfather. There was some
trouble between the mother and son consequent
quent on the fact that in the will of Iho
fallicr he had cut off the hitler without any
thing , The manner of the killing Is a veri
table "Jack the Uipper" affair , and mil for
thu fact that the crime can be fastened un
parties here , some nervously Inclined per
sons would easily imagine Hint the much
dreuded und mysterious killer was now In
this section.
LITIK : The coroner's Jury rclurned a ver
dict fixing the guilt upon the husband. The
llnding of u suit of clothes covered with
blood was the concluivo evidence. The
woman's intestines wcro scattered all over

to TIIR UIH. : ] 'Sam Storms' hotel , on a small
Jsland in Greenwood- lake , was the scene of
a furious fight ' - continu
ously from Saturday' night to Monday noon.
The furniture und even the building itself
was wrecked and n score of men who partic
ipated in the affray were cut nnd bruised.
On Friday crowds of men who hud been cut
ting and storing ice on the lake finished their
work. On Saturday afternoon they were
paid off and in Iho evening there wcro jolli
fications in several of the hotels. Several of
the Newark ice cutters boarded at Storms ,
nnd with a few friends wore having a good
tlmo when there was u loud knock on the
door , followed by the announcement that a
party of natives of Greenwood lake region
wcro about to ' 'clean out" the Newark party.
When admittance was refused them they
forced nn entrance. Then the light began.
Finally the natives , who in the mean
time had thrown the steve out of the house ,
were ejecled. Then they started fires at sev-
crul points along the sides of the building for
the purpose of roasting out the men who had
possession. Storms tried to use a revolver ,
but it missed 11 ro nvory time aud only made
the natives more furious. They made an
other assault on the house , broke oft the
door and shutters , smashed llio windows und
throw the furniture out on the frozen sur
face of the hike. Then there was a fierce
light. The women who lived in tlio house
screamed with terror , nnd several of them
were struck. The mob made an occasional
attack upon Storms' stock of whisky , and
soon bccamo almost crazy. As a last resort
Storms , the women nnd men of the Newark

A roitncll HlulTM Trnjjody.
At fifteen minutes before o'clock yester
day afternoon the sharp report of n pistol
shot startled the citizens In the vicinity of
thu corner of Second street and Hroadwuy ,
nnd Iho pedestrians who -.vero passing along
the sidewalk at the tlmo rushed Into the sa
loon known as Iho "Bucket of Ulood , " nt No.
160 Hroadway , whence the sound issued. The
sight that mot the eyes of the horrified spec
tators wus Indeed a ghastly ono. A mini lay
In a pool of blood on the floor , nnd the red
llfo current was still flowing from n ragged
bullet hole under his left car.
"Who Is hoi" "Who killed him I" "What
was tha trouble ! " were Iho questions that ,
fell from many tongues , and the story of Iho
the tragedy was cngerly listened lo ns Iho
witnesses of tlio terrible occiirenco related
the manner in which it transpired.
It quickly developed that Tommy Hrooks ,
the lightweight pugilist , had shot and killed
Frank Do Good , an Omaha hosttor.
The police wcro on the scene In n very
brief space of time , nnd the place was
cleared of everybody but the officers , report
ers nnd witnesses. There , In tlio midst of
grucsomo surroundings , the details of tho1
murder were learned.
The story of Frank Hatcher , the bar
tender , gave the clearest Insight Into Iho
tragedy and is here given us ho related it at
the tlmo , and repeated it later at the coro-
jier's inquest. 1Tho murdered man , Gcorgo
Guanella and myself , were shaking dlco at
the bar. Wo were all outside and Hrooks
was leaning against u railing between us nnd
the door. 1 was high man nnd tuft Hie others
to finish it. 1 wont Into Hie back room , and
when 1 rclurned llioy were quarreling about
who was stuck. Guuuullu called the dead
man a liar and the latter struck him. They
clinched and I stepped up und separated
them , My back was toward the door when
I heard n shot , nud Do Geode fell to the floor.
He never moved. I raised his head , but ho
was dead , and I sent for a policeman. When
1 hoard the shot I said : 'My God , somebody's
killed him. ' I looked around and saw Hrooks
just throwing his gun into the back part of
the room. That was the last I saw of him. "
Tom Casey " ! saw Hrooks pull his gun ,
nnd point it ut the dead man's head , and
shoot him. Then ho turned and run out the
front door. Ho had no trouble with Do Geode
in the saloon. "
Ida Melville , Brooks' mistress , testified
that Hrooks sent a messenger to her Monday
evening for the gun. She asked if ho was
drunk , aud the messenger said ho was not.
She then gave him thu gun. Identified the
one found on the floor after the murder.
Lars Jensen heard the dispute , stepped to
the door , and saw Hrooks pull the revolver
from the Docket of his overcoat , which was
lying across his left arm. Ho said , "Damn '
you , I'll settle you , " and run up to Do Goodo.
lie struck at him wilh the gun , und it was
discharged close to his head. Tlio man fell
to the floor. Urooka rushed out , and Larsen
.followed him to arrest him. lirooks ran
through Kildaro's-aaloon , adjoining the one
where the tragedy occurred. Larson fol
lowed him a few steps Inside the saloon , and '
then stopped us sovcnil parties motioned to
him to stop , nnd ho feared 1J rooks , still bad
the gun.
Andy Houk , M. A. Lyford , Harry Green , '
William Probstlo , George Guanelln nnd Ed .
Morris testified to Hie whole or a part of the '
preceding.
Hrooks1 trail was taken up by n score of
oflleers. several special policemen being
pressed into service. The bagnio kept by t
Kit Kdwurds , 151 A'lue street , where the
Melville woman resided , was searched , but
nothing was found of Hrooks. The streets
nnd all conceivable hiding places in thu vi
cinity wuro carefully searched , but it was
fruitless. The ICdwurds bagnio was searched ,
a. second time ut50 : : ! , and lirooks was found
In a trunk , whcro ho had been carefully
liackod away.
He was found ny Oflleers Mullen nnd Ison-
liorgcr , and was hurried to the county jail ,
where ho was seen later by a representative
of TUB Ucn. The reporter found him lying
nn his bunk , In a cell with Frank liowo , the
man indicted for robbing the house of T. W.
McCarger. lirooks answered tlrtj call by ap
pearing at the cell door , and was disposed to
DO non-communicative , but nftcr u short time
talked quite freely with his visitor.
In response to a question us to how it hap.
icncd , ho said :
"I don't know. I can't tell anything about ,
it. "
"Wcro you drunk ? " "Yes , I must have
been. I wus drunk all lust night , and I
iiavcii't/cntcn a thing'to-day , so when 1 took
. \ drink it knocked mo out , "
"Did you know the man you shot ? " ' ' {
never saw him bolore in my llfo. Ho wus a
total stranger to me. "
"How did you happen lo bo In Iho saloon ? "
" 1 had bean in Ihcro off ami on clnco noon ,
nnd I Had been drinking , 1 drank nothing
but beer , but had several glasses. 1 wont In
with Gcorgo Gtianulln , und then wo went
down town. I went back alone ,
and after a while Georgu c.unu iu.
All I know about the trouble wus that 1 saw
Gcorgo and this man flglilinir , and ho wus
getting a little the best of Gcorgo. Then I
went to hit him. I didn't mean to shoot ,
Him , but when I struck ut him with the gun
it went off , and 1 started oul. I don't know
what became of the gun. 1 didn't run any ,
iiut walked through Kildnio's saloon , outtliu
back door , nnd over to Kit Edwards' place ,
md sat down. 1 didn't say anything to any-
liudy , and aflcra whilu I went upstuirs and
ol into tha trunk. It was full of clothes ,
jut I put them In a closet. It was my
woman's room , but she didn't ' know 1 was
there , 1 got in thu trunk alonu. The fill
was closed , but not locked. "
"Did thu stranger say anything to you , or
innko any inovn towards you ) " "llo must
liavo , or wouldn't ' have done anything. I
lon't remember anything about it , 1 know I
was drunk , and tlic shooling was accidental , '
I didn't know Hiix man wan killed until after ,
I was arrested. 1 don't know what attorney
1 will liavo to defend me. I suppose they
will cull it murder , but It was un accident. "
. The prisoner wus very much depressed , but
talked clearly and evidently weighed the
effect of each suleincnt liufcru ho iiiadu It.
AH the reporter loft , he suggested that u
morning Hii : : with the accountof the tragedy
liubonl down to him.
H was learned hitler Iu the evening that .
Colonel 1) . 1 ! . D.illo.v nnd Colonel W. F. Supp
would defend the murderer. Colonel Duttuy
was seen , und stated I Mat ho had undertaken
thu defense In connection with Colomd Sapp ,
mil that they would vvalvu a preliminary cxn
umnation , lolling the canu go to thu grami
ury on the -1th of April. As Iho ball would
be fixed at $ jn,000 or 0,000 , Iho prisoner
would be uinibln to glvo it , und would have ,
to remain in jnll.
It was learned that the prisoner pulled hlsi
gun u short tlmo buforu ho entered tlio saloon
ind threatened to kill the notorious negro , '
"Tix" linker , who was passing. The darkey
went along quietly , anil lirooks put up Ills
iveapon. Tlio gun is u "Mulldog" of 3S-calJ.
brc , and an unknown make.
Thu murderer Is twuuty.two years of age ,
and has always resided In this city. Hu is
