Bills which have passed both houses of the state legislature are mysteriously disappearing. This is one means of defeating legislation.

Governor Cleveland yesterday vetoed the bill cutting down the fare on the elevated railroads ot New York City, and dating with this the opposition of the John Kelly anti-monopoly party will begin.

The Empress of Germany has contributed 1,000 marks, or about $250 to to the American ilood sufferers, which act is a graceful recignition of the late generosity of Americans toward the people of Germany who had suflered from the same cause.

Silas G. Burt has declined the position of chief examiner of the civil service commission, much to the regret of all friends of civil service reform but the president has named in his stead Edward Graves of the treasury department, a man whose fitness for the position is second only to that of Burt and in whoso selection as between him and Burt the friends of the law were equally divided.

It is stated from England that one occasion of the coming visit of Parnell and his colleagnes of the Land League to this country is to account for the disposition of the Larfd League funds. This is well. Our sympathies are with the oppressed people but Ave have in this country such a strong belief in law and order that no countenance will be given to murderous deeds, and it will be a relief to know that none of the money contributed on this side has been used to purchase bloodshed.

The display of bad temper in the national legislature has become a daily occurrence. Yesterday the dignified senate witnessed a scene which would have disgraced the unruly house. But we are informed that all these indecent episodes find no place in the Congressional Record which is supposed to be the official record of all that occurs in the debates in congress. There is-no acceptable excuse for the disgraceful scenes, an$ no less is there any excuse for the omission in the Record.

Congressman Holman, the great objector, it is now reported is to be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor next year. This is the latest move of McDonald who has reached that stage where disgruntled and disappointed public men begin giving more of their thoughts to revenge than anything else. The would be boomed candidate for president evidently acquired a fit of disgust over the ridiculs that greeted his frantic efforts to secure a boom and according to reports went to "Washington to get Holman into the race for governor. It was not the exaenators love for Holman that dictated this course so much as his anxiety to "get even" with Ex-Lieut. Gov. Gray, who euchered the ex-senator out of the complimentary vote for the scnatorship when Senator Harrison was elected.

A noticable fact in the nominations of the president during these last days of the session is that the senate is confirming them with unusual unaminitv. Within the past ten days the president lias sent in the names of gentlemen for very important positions. Ordinarily there would be contentions which would cause great opposition to favorable action by the senate and frequently would result in an adverse vote. The most noticeable instance is in the selection of federal officials in New York state, wherein a wrangle has been a matter of course. But we see the senate confirming the president's nominations as speedily as the rules of that body will permit. The executive has been accused of too much delay in making nominations, but the result attests the good judgment exercised.

A Boston authority says of Ben Butler:" "He is looking after his new party. He is going to work the antimonopoly movement. He has already made himself 'solid' with our fellowcitizens of Irish blood, and that is no mean factor in a political contest. He is "hobnobbing with John Kelly, the head of Tammany Hall. If John Kelly should be frank he would tell you that Governor Butler is his man for the presidency. Jrtet now he is engaged in wooing the agricultural people. There was no reason for his niftkiiii any comment or recommendation in submitting the report to the president of the Agricultural college to the legislature, and it was only done to flatter the fanners. He is in Washngton taking a view of the situation,

ELLIOTT-DUNN. S

Bad Blood Between Two Chicago Sporting Men Results in Murder.

Terrible Death Struggle Between Them, Before a Multitude of Eye-witnesses.

Chicago Inter-Ocean. The outcome of the postponed Sulli-van-Elliott slugging match, which was to have taken place December 22. at McCormick Hall, was a murder. Jere Dunn shot and killed James Dunn last evening at 8:15 o'clock, in the Tivoli restaurant, kept by William Langdon, at 116 Dearborn street. This statement of the bare fact embodies an epitome of two of the most notorious lives that the city can produce, and is perhaps a natural outcome of all the late notoriety which slugging and sluggers have achieved. The plain story of the fracas and its end in murder is as follows: Last evening James Elliott and Fred Plaisted walked down State street from Eph Morris' saloon and went to the Tivoli for supper. *hey entered the place at 8:10 o'clock and went back into the rear supper-room, which is separated from the main room by a half partition with an archway entrance which is draped with lace curtains, riaisted and Elliott sat down at the second table on the left center of this room, Plaisted with his back to the arch door and Elliott facing it. The latter ordered the supper, writing two steaks upon the waiters ticket.

THE FIRST GUN.

He had just sent the waiter away and handed Plaisted his pencil, which he had borrowed to write the ticket with and was lauhigng and talking pleasantly, when bang! went a revolverin the hand of Dunn, who had just entered, and Plaisted clapped his hand to his head, the ball passing, as he says, about four inches from his ear. He was only stunned, but Elliott was hit in the stomach. Notwithstanding his wound lie jumped up, seized the chair he sat upon, and raising it hit the chandelier above, smashing all four globes and bending one of the arms of the fixtures. Dun fired again, and then Elliott rushed at him and struck him on the head with the chair- Dunn then fired again, and Elliott dropped the chair, clinched with him and wrested the revolver away, releasing him at the same instant. At this point Dunn jumped back, pulled outanother revolver, and fired again. Elliott rushed at him, firing as he did so, the bullet taking effect in Dunn's scalp, just over the forehead. Elliott then clasped him and they fell in the front room near the cashier's desk. Then a shot was fired by Elliott which went through Dunn's left forearm,and Dunn rose off of Elliott and fired once more directly down at him, the shot lodeing in the left leg near the groin. This closed the shooting.

BOUND UNDER ARREST.

A police officer had just entered and he forthwith arrested Dunn, who walked out with him and went to the Drum, No. 101 Madison street. Here Dunn fnade his boasfrthat he had shot Elliott, and hoped the dog was dead. He was excited and apparently crazed. The blood streamed from his forehead in torrents, and he looked like an infuriated tiger so wild was the glare of his eyes. He moved both his arms in loosening his clothes, and it was nearly impossible to say where he was wounded. He was taken to the Armory, expressing a wish to go with the officer alone he drd not care to ride with "that carcass," as he termed Elliott.

Elilott lay where he fell, in apool of blood, groaning. A reporter of the Inter-Ocean was by his side, and askedhim if he was seriously hurt. Hesaid he was "done for," and asked the reporter to place his overcoat under his head, "so I can get my wind," said he. He groaned once more and then he was unconscious. He was picked up by the patrol officers, placed upon a stretcher, and taken out to the wagon. They had not moved many blocks when he breathed his last, and thus ended the life of one of the most notorious men in the country.

Upon investigation it was found that Jere Dunn had taken supper at Billy Boyle's place in the alley, called Calhoun place. He went out of that restaurant, and as he did so he saw through the grated back window of the Tivoli, Elliott and Plaisted at supper in the rear room. He then deliberately walked around to the front door, went in, and as he saw Elliott, said^: "I am here, vou and drew his revolver and fired as before stated.

FATAL AND SEVERE.

Dr. Baxter, who dressed Jere Dunn's injuries, said there were two severe wounds, one in the left fore-arm, the ball passing clear through the other a scalp wound, just over the forehead, the ball being under the scalp about four inches from the place of entrance. This wound was dangerous, though not immediately. The effects were coming on gradually, for when he left Dunn at the Armory he was dazed, and this showed that the shot was taking effect upon the brain.

Elliott's wounds were both mortal, it is said, cne being in the abdomen and the other striking the leg just lielow the hip, glancing upward. The body was taken" to the morgue and left there to await the coroner's inquest.

FRED. A. l'LAISTED.

Fred. A. Plaisted, who has been traveling through the west some months with the Elliott Combination, gave the following story of the shooting last night: "It was nearly 3 o'clock, I think, when Elliott and myself entered the restaurant. We were in the inside room. My back was to the door and Elliott sat opposite me at the other side of the table. He could see the door open, but I could not. He ordered supper for the two of us and we began to talk while the meals were being prepared. Suddenly the door opened and I was startled by the report of a revolver discharged over my right shoulder and close to my ear. Before I had time to look around I was seized by some parties and thrown down." "By whom?" "I don't know. As I was struggling to get up I saw Elliot rise up, and, grasping a chair, strike at Dunn with it. The chair, after breaking the chandelier, hit Dunn in the forehead. When I succeeded in shaking off the parties that held me down, I stood up and saw Dunn with his hands around Elliott's neck and shooting with a revolver into his back. Elliott seemed (to be powerless at the time. The first

shot, which took effect in the abdomen, I suppose finished him." "Did Elliott have a revolver when he entered the restaurant?" "No." i"Where did he get the revolver, then, that he was shooting with!" "I don't know, except he took it away from Ounn." "Were there many in the restaurant at the time?" a "Oh, yes, it was full." "Did you know any of them "Yes, but I don't now recollect their names. Paddy Ryan was there" "Did Ryan interfere in any way to prevent the fight?" "No. I only saw him put on his hat." "Who separated Elliott and Dunn?" "A policeman rushed in and parted them. Elliott then fell to the floor. Soon after we put him in the patrol wagon. He had his coat off, and was laying on his side on the floor. When we put him on the stretcher we placed his coat under his head. He said in a clear voice, 'Boys, ye are very kind to me. Raise my head a little more.,' He died in the wagon at the corner of Madison and Center streets as we were taking him to the hospital. On the way he suffered terribly, but he made no complaints. He did not utter one word, only a little before he died he said, 'Lift my head up.' We turned around and then took the body to the morgue." "How many wounds did he have?1 "We did not examine him closely, but we saw two wounds, one in the abdomen near the navel and one in the groin. The wound in the abdomen seemed to have caused him the most pain." "When did Elliott return to this city?" "Last Tuesday, and he was stopping since then at No. 219 East Madison street." "How long have you known him "Only about four months. I was engaged to train him for the Sullivan fight. I also traveled with him in his combination. I used to spar with him and swing clubs." "Has Elliott left any friends?" "I believe he has a mother and some friends in New York." v.

James Elliott's Career.

The life of the murdered Elliott is one of those replete with crime. He was born in Dublin, in 1835, coining to New York with his parents when quite a lad. They lived in that city, in the Thirteenth ward, where his mother, brothers and sisters now live. He was one of a gang of pickpockets there, and in 18G8 was arrested with a party of burglars at Wilkesbarre, Pa. He Mas incarcerated in the Wilkesbarre jail the party broke out, and Elliott was arrested again in Philadelphia. He served a year in the penitentiary, and upon his release went back to Philadelphia, where he robbed and assaulted Hugh Dougherty, stealing a diamond pin and gold watch and chain. He then shot and killed the officer who attempted to arrest him, and for this was sent to the Eastern penitentiary for a term of. seventeen years. He served his time, which for good behavior was only nine years in length. After his release, he was implicated in a burglary and went up for another year.

Upon leaving the prison he came to Chicago and went into training for the pugilistic business. He had been in many scrapping matches, the chief of which was the one with Gallagher, when he was whipped to a^stand-still. He stood up' before Sullivan last fall, but was knocked cotapletely out .in three rounds. He has been in training ever sine to meet Sullivan again. He bad the bull-dog tenacity that is sometimes called courage, but he was held in contempt by most of all the pugilists of the country. "Hislast venture was a sparring tour under the management of Charles Davies, and his engagement was abruptly closed last Sundav night at Dodge City, Iowa. He left that place and arrived here last Tuesday.

Jere Dunn.

Jere Dunn, the murderer, is a man well-known about town in sporting circles. He lias lived here many years, coming from the east, where he has had his escapades of notoriety. He had some trouble in 1870 with Logan No. 1, who was implicated in the Nathan murder. Logan assaulted Dunn in a New York restaurant, and Dunn being unarmed fled. Shortly afterward he returned armed, and meeting Logan on the street, the fight was renewed, which resulted in Logan's being shot and killed. Jere fled to Chicago, and then to St. Louis. He was arrested and brought back to New York, and tried, receiving the light sentence of one year in Sing Sing. At the expiration of his term he came to Chicago. He kept a saloon for a. time and then went into tho horse business, training and owning trotters, lie owned Lady Alice, the trotter that fell dead upon the track after running a race in*Michigan in 1881. Returning here from Michigan, he opened restaurant, which he ran for a brief time.

His last line of business was the management of John L.- Sullivan last fall. He, with Davies, who was Elliott's manager, arranged a match with hard gloves between their men, to occur Dec. 22 at McCormick's Hall. Owing to the interference of the police tlie match never came off, and both Dunn and Davies lost-money. Dunn was interviewed, and he said that the cause of the police stopping the match was that Elliott was a coward and afraid to meet Sullivan at the last pinch, and had notified the police tostop the fight. Upon the publication of this in a morning paper Elliott was furious, and made all sorts of threats, and he had an interview published in which £e termed Dunn all manner of offensive things. The quarrel smouldered for a time, and was reopened when Mace and Slade came here. Harry Hill, a very notorious character from New York, came here to meet Mace and Slade, and while here had an interview with a reporter, and in it he called Elliott everything thatismean. Then Elliott had his say, and, in doing so, had a fling at Dunn. Then Dunn said he would make Elliott unsay his words or kill him if they met.

Elliott was as anxious for a meeting as was Dunn. Three weeks ago on Saturday night Elliott came around the corner of Madison and Clark streets with a gun in his pocket, looking for Dunn. He avowed that he was looking for.trouble. He went to the Drum, thinking to find Dnnn, but the latter was not there. Presently Dunn came up, and Mr. Williams, the proprietor, requested him not to enter the place and have trouble.

Nobody ever doubted Dunn's courage, and he insisted on going in. Being appealed to to respect the good name of the house, he said he would do so by giving Elliott's friends fifteen minutes to get him out of the house. They got him out and the trouble was averted for the time being, but men around town have ever since been looking for a meeting between the men, with some such a result as that of last night.

Elliott shortly after left town on the tour west, saying so his friends claim, that he was glad to get away from Jerry Dunn.

Dnnn, at midnight, la}* upon an iron cot bed in a witness cell at the armory, with a bullet hole through his skull

and wrenched with pain, both physical and mental. Occasionally hewoold raise a hand to the blood-stained bandages, but not a groan escaped him. "You can't see him, aad that settles it," said the amiable person who keeps the keys. "The doctor gave orders that he must talk to no one."

Evansville Debt.

Gath In Enquirer. Evansville, Ind., is crying for less interest on its bonds and held a conference here Saturday with the holders of 800 Bonds. The bonded debt of the city is $1,651,000- There is also a floating debt of $50,000. The gentleman from Evansville said that the city had never defaulted the payment of its interest, but was driven to ask a reduction of the rate of interest. It was decided to refuse the request of the city, and to take all legal means to compel the payment of interest should the city default, as the mayor said he thought it would on April interest. The decision was unanimous. It is said that there is a certain party, which at present is in the ascendant in Evansville, which has for its cry, readjustment of the city's debt, or practical repudiation. For a number of years past the city government has been in the hands of tlie Republicans, and has been loosely and extravagantly administered. Last spring an alleged reform movement seated in the common council enough Democrats to givo that party -enough a majority, and they now, it is asserted, aim to repudiate the debts contracted by their predecessors. A number of the citizens, perhaps even a majority, agree with the council. The leading citizens, however, and bondholders say, we are apposed to that course.

An Indian Wins a$40,000 Suit. Ishpemlng Iron Agitator. The daughter of an Indian has just recovered about $40,000 from the Jackson Iron company. A number of explorers were looking for iron about thirty-five or forty years ago near where Negaunee now stands, and an old Indian, Margi Geezic by name, took them to a place where he had found some very fine ore. They found that the deposite was large and a co-partnership to work the mine thus discovered was formed. In consideration of the service rendered them by the Indian it was agreed that he should receive 12-3100 of the profits, and a written agreement to that effect was given him. At last he died and the suit which has just been decided was brought for his daughter to recover the money claimed to be due her father from the company.
