DOUBLI TRAGEDY.
Mystery Surrounds the Affair, but Two Theories Are Advanced. EVANSVILLE, Ind., April 9.—A double
tragedy was enacted here yesterday evening. Thomas Hitch, a constable, is dead with a bullet in his brain and Ella Stamps is unconscious with a hole in head and probably fatally wounded.
A mystery surrounds the case. Two theories are advanced. One is that Hitch attempted to kill the woman then killed himself, and the other is that the husband of the woman came suddenly upon them and did the shooting. Stamps and his wife had had trouble and separated. Hitch had been paying attention to the woman. Mrs. Stamps had sued for divorce and the trial was set for today. Stamps has not been arrested.
ENTIRE FAMILY CREMATED.
Man and His Wife and .Child Perish in Their Own Dwelling. WHEELING, April 9.—Word has just
reached this city from Whetstone, Marshall county, about 15 miles from this city, that an entire family was cremated in afire which destroyed the dwellinghouse of Jackson Martin. The dead are: Jackson Martin, his wife and child.
Some neighbors returning from church saw the roasting bodies in the fire, but were too late to give any relief. It is supposed that Martin woke up and that the smoke being so dense prevented him from finding the door, and he had torn a plank off the wall, as his body was found in this opening he had made.
.Jewelry Firm Fails.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 9.—Phelps & Miller, an old and well known jewelry firm, has failed. The liabilities amount to $68,000, which have been settled with the creditors for 85 cents on the dollar.

NEARING THE END.
Not
More Than a Month of Congress Remains. WASHINGTON, April 9.—Speaker Reed
is determined that congress shall adjourn early in May, and everything points to the probability of the carrying out of his desires. Representative Dingley, chairman of the ways and means committee, has prepared a resolution to introduce, in the house setting a day for the final adjournment of this session about the iniddle of May. He has not decided as yet definitely in regard to the date, but proposes now to make it between the 10th and loth.
The idea is to hurry the necessary work sq as to be through by the 1st of May, and if this can be done the resolution of the house will be sent to the senate, where Senator Piatt's resolution for adjournment on the 2d of May will be substituted, and that date will be the one adjourn. At present thero are only three appropriation bills remaining to go through the house, and when the lower branch has finished this work the senate will soon get through with those yet unacted upon.
As there is to be very little change in the bills in the senate the conference committees will not have hard work in coming to an agreement, audit is confidently espected that within three weeks' time all the appropriation bills will be cleared up and congress ready for adjournment. With the bills appropriating the money to run the government out of the way it will not be possible to hold the house or senate in session to pass private bills.
PRIZE.
An Abandoned
Ship Found Drifting iu
I Midocean. PHILADELPHIA, April 9.—A valuable
prize in the shape of iu abnndonpd vessel, in which the was valued, was towed into 6t. liiumas by the Britisli steamship Anerly, which arrived at this port yesterday from Santiago de Cuba. While outward bound from Philadelphia she sighted a British vessel entirely dismasted to the eastward of Bermuda. The crew had abandoned her, and there was no sign of life on board.
A prize crew was sent to the abandoned vessel, which was found to be the British bark Janet Court, from Yalparaiso for New York, with a cargo of -nitrate of soda. The craft was taken in tow and was dragged along for 860 miles in boisterous weather before St. Thomas was reached. The cago
Was
intact and undamaged. The' vessel is an iron craft, owned in Glasgow. With the exception of her upper works she appears to be all right.
EVENTS IN PERU.
Locomotive Boiler Explosion and Many People Dying in Lima. LIMA, Peru, April 9.—News has been
received here of the explosion of a locomotive at the station of Barranca, on the English railroad, by which two men were killed and several hurt. Two houses were also damaged by the explosion.
The city of Lima seems to be in a very unhealthy condition at present, and the large number of deaths is creating much alarm among the citizens. The precise rate in proportion to the number of inhabitants is not known, as the officials are withholding the statistics on the subject.

SULTAN COMDEMMED
Englishmen Aroused Over the News From Turkey.
PUBLIC EXPRESSION OP OPINION.
Special Meeting of the Armenian Relief Committee Held in London—The British Government Urged to Prptest
Against the Sultan'sOrders to Expel the Christian Missionaries. LONDON, APRIL 9.—There is nauqh.in
dignation in England over the intention of the Sultan of Turkey to exclude Christian missionaries from Asia Minor and those who were active in measures injbehalf of the Armenians take a leadtog part also in voicing the public senti'me^t'on^jbhis'question. The case of the Riev. G. P. Knapp. the American missionary at Bitlis, who is detained at Diarbekir, is attracting much attention.
A special meeting of the Armenian relief committee was held, yesterday to ipive egression of opinions on this sub-
{te
ect. The Duke of. {Argyll: presided, and stated that the Duke of Westminster had received information that hostile measures against,. the Christian missionaries were contemplated by the sultan.
The secretary of the committee reported that an irade had apparently already been signed by the sultan, decreeing that the missionaries should be banished and that Rev. Mr. Knapp's withdrawal was viewed with consternation by his colleagues and would be most disastrous in every way.
After hearing these statements of the situation, which were confirmatory of the news published in the press,"the meeting adopted a resolution introduced by Canon Gore, protesting against the measures threatened by the sultan, and urging the British government to do its ntmost to secure 1,he immediate withdrawal of the irade.
The cause of Mr. Knapp was made the subject of a special expression. C. E. Schwann, Radical member of parliament for North ^uchester, proposed a resolution to the exr'ect that the committee, having heard with deep regret of the imprisonment of Mr. Knapp at Diarbekir, earnestly requests the government to take immediate steps to obtain tlie release of Mr. Knapp, whose self-denying labors in the distribution of relief to starving Armenians had been the means of saving many lives. This motion was adopted unanimously.
The meeting then appointed a deputation consisting of Canon Gore, Professor Bert and Sir J. Kennaway, conservative member of parliament for Honiton, Devon, to wait upon Mr. Arthur Balfour, first lord of the treasury, and to urge, upon him to. increase the number of British consuls in Asiatic Turkey, as their presence there had a salutary effect in restraining the outrages upon Christian subjects of the sultan, and in giving contenance to the work of relief by the missionaries.
BIMETALLISM ABROAD.
Committee of the Reichstag Pronounces For a Convention. WASHINGTON, April 9.—The parlia
mentary movement in Germany toward bimetallism is described in a report to the state department by United States Commercial Agent Moore at Weimar. He says that on March 14 the economic committee of the imperial reichstag decided to bring in the following resolution: "The reichstag shall declare that international bimetallism best answers the interests of Germany and request the confederate governments (German states) to do all that is in their power in order to establish and secure by international convention a fixed proportion of value between silver and gold.''
Mr. Moore explains that this economic committee is not a branch of the regular organizations of the imperial reichstag, but a self-constructed committee with a permanent organization, composed largely of members of the Agrarian party, and it is in the ranks of this party that bimetallism finds its adherents in Germany. It is known, says Mr. Moore, that a corresponding proposition will be submitted simultaneously in Paris and London. This movement has attracted great attention afresh in Europe to the monetary situation.
BURNED OUT,
The Entire Business Portion of ICockford, Mich., Destroyed,by Fire. GRAND RAPIDS, April 9.—The village
of Rockford, 13 miles north of here, was almost totally destroyed by fire yesterday. The fire originated in rubbish in the basement of an undertaker's store in the east end of the village, and before it was gotten under control two entire business blocks were in ruins.
Grand Rapids was called on for help, but there was a delay iu responding to the call, and the damage was done by the time the engines reached the scene. The loss is estimated at $100,000, with insurance of $50,000. The village had just closed a contract tor a water system, and iu a month could have coped with the fire successfully.
