J1KS. LEEDS'S CRUSADE.

Her Hushand, She Sajs, Was Killing Himself and Sht Intends to Put a Stop to It 3Hch!an City Special to Chicago Tribune. Mr. Leeds went to La Porte this morning what for he declines to say. . "I had important husinesj," ho said. 'It vras my own." Others say his business was with attorneys, and that in spite of his words he is preparing to make trouble.' "lie is tired of this business, said a friend of his. "It has gone on too long, lie is a quiet man, and disliked to give his family troubles any publicity, but now that the public knows it ho will tako some action." However that may be, certain It is that he has had a consultation with Mr. Thornton, of Thoton &. Orr, his attorneys here, and was closeted a short time this afternoon with H. I3i Tuthill, the prosecuting attorney for this district. Then he has had consultations with a number of prominent business men here. The impression in the city is that he means business, but he declines to say anything for publication. 'I don't care what she says or what she does," he said to-day. "That is- all I have to say on the subject." "Do you think anything will come of her threats?" "I have paid no attention to the matter." "Will you do anything?" "I have nothing to say." Dim. jeeus lanes mure, sue cam: "1 mean business, and they may as well make up their minus to that. I expect my iu: a x : i. a. i vuicagu attorney nuwn iouiui, uuu much ne comes we will decide on our first step. I am after the saloon men, and 1 will prosecute them to the full extent of the law.

The temperance people approached mo once, and I said when the faloons bothered mo I would take a hand. Now they are bothering me. and I asked .them to go to work and I would pay all the "bills. They did not do it, and 1 went to Work myself. Mr. Leeds thinks he can coax me out of it, but I feel it my 'duty to protect myself and others who are not financially able. I don't propose to bo opTessive. I will give the saloon men their rights, but no more. Iam not prejudiced, aiy detectives found everything bad enough except the sale to miuors. There is almost TkO liquor given to minors. The temperance societies exaggerate that." "Hut what about the clfect on your husband's reputation!" "Well, it was a racket or a funeral. Mr. Leeds was killing himself, and I had to "stop it. It of course caused sensation, .but I had to do it. He is too good and noble n man to go that way. He was always kind to me andtreated his family well, and he . is too valuable to us and to the community to be broken down that way. We never have any quarreling at home. I simply .vrant to save his life and business?' But Mrs. Leeds does not propose to shut him oil" entirely. She says lie can have an occasional drink. When she served her notices on the aloon-keepers she went to the Vreeland House and said he could have one glass of beer there now and then, but .no more She also notified the proprietor that Mr. Leeds might also buy a glass of leer for a friend there occasionally. This was generous, of course, but not so cencrous as Mr. Leeds might liko to Jiave. One glass of beer is a small limit; at ;any rate he played over tho limit on various occasions. Ail are agreed, and the statement may be made without fear of contradiction, that Mr. Leeds nas taken more than one glass of beer at a single sitting: henco Mrs. Leeds's Anger. ! know," she said, "that I am making tho fifth t single-handed, that I havo hardly la friend in the crty, but I am well able to do it. I knew before I started in that every ODe would bo against me." Mrs. Leeds has made an attempt to interA. A 1 - A. A. r T 1 A South Bend, in her case. Whether she has wen successful or not cannot be discoered here, but her own attorney was at South Bend last week and had a long interview with Bricks. That is what is troubling Tcsidents of Michigan City. If Bricks has agreed to take the case up itmakes it much more serious than it woufd otherwise be. "I went to him.' said Mrs. Leeds, "because I have no confidence in Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Tuthill. He doesn't do anything against the saloons, and neither will the marshal. The Mayor means well enough, but what can he dof Hois powerless. . . . - Walter Leeds never got so much in him yet," said one man, "that he didn't know what 7 or 8 per cent, interest was." ,. "No one here," 'said another, "was ever able to pay him any monev that he didn't know whether it was a nickel short or not. Ko one in this town ever saw him when he was.not able to attend to business." His wife tells a different story. "While he was running around with thoso politicians," she said. "1 could have taken $2,000 or fcJ.OOO from hira at different times. I don't know but what some of his companions did. It would have been easy." The sympathy of the peoplo of the place is entirely with Mf. Leeds. Ho is popular here. "She cant get one person in this place." said one man. "to swear that he is an habitnal drunkard. He isn't. He's a little fellow, and two or three glasses of beer have more ettecton him than they havo on some others." "He drinks nothing but beer," said Joseph Jackson, cashier of the First National Bank, 'and she can't substantiate her charges in. any way. As for her charge that I was drunk when I came home with him the night of Dec. 81, it is false. I had been at the Business Men's Club, where no liquor is sold, and met him when I enmo out. I walked home with him. Marshal Gallas saw mo when I joined him, and Marshal Ciallas certified to my sobriety." John Dysard, Mrs. Leeds's father, was nsked: "l)o you think your daughter will carry ont her threats?' a "My daughter is determined enough to do anything." Csro she win her case?" Trove Walter Leeds a drunkard? No, fir. He attends to his business regularly. With the interests he has at stake, how ould he do otherwise? Her caso will fall through when she tries to prove Walter Leeds a drunkard she can't do it." Mr. Tuthill says she never applied to him to begin prosecutions, but she may have VkedMr. Bricks at South Bend to take up the case. The trouble seems to havo begun over fpiritftalism. Mrs. Leeds is an ardent spiritualist, and Mr. Leedn was. Ho may be low, but it is said ho loft the fraternity I'he story is to the effect that Mr. Leeds refused to pay for the publication of a spiritualistic book that Mrs. Leeds wanted published, and that there has been trouble ever ince. Liability of Telegraph Companies. Philadelphia, April 16. The suit of ank J. Primrose, to recover heavy daraQSes from the Western Union Telegraph Compnay arising from an excessive purchase of wool, in 1887, owing to a mistake by n receiving operator in a cinher message, ended in favor of the defendant iu the United States Circuit Court to-day. Judgo Butler delivered an oral opinion upon tho question whether a non-suit should bo granted. He dwelt at length upon the Agreement printed on the back of the teleiraph blanks, which stipulates that upon ihe payment of an extra charge of half of the pneo of pending' a message it can be repeated, and the danger of a mistake avoided. This was not done in this instance. The decisions rendered in numerous similar lases were also referred to by the Judge, ind a non-suit was granted. Judge McKenna, who sat beside his colleague, concurred in tho decision. Counsel for Mr. Primrose, with the consent of the lawyers on tho other side, asked that the non-suit hould not be entered, as he thought that the record of his client's suit wonld be in better simp to c;n to a higher court if a verdict was taken. Judgo Butler then inMructed the jury to return a verdict for tho V estern Union, and this was done. Shot by a Crazy Man. . Ittiica, X. Y.. April !. Ellsworth White f hot and fatally wounded Mrs. J.

It Is Worked Successfully at Cheyenne, but Fails at Minneapolis and London, Ontario. Cheyenne, Wy. T., April lG-The town of Grover, Col., forty miles east of here, on the Burlington road, was the scene of a sensational bank robbery, copied after tho recent "hold up" at Denver. Shortly after tho bank opened in tho morning an unknown cowboy rode up to the bank, entered and nrcsented a check for SlOtoCashier Smith, who was alone at tho time. Ho turned toward the window to examine tho writing, and on turning his face toward the man found himself covered with a six shooter. Tho man said: "The check is no ood, but I want cash, all tho same." Smith emurrcd. and the manthreatened to shoot, whereupon he handed him all tho cash out of the safe, amoauting to over $1,000. The robber took this and a Winchester rillo standing beside the cashier, backed to tho door, jumped upon his horse and rode over tho Wyoming line. Smith immediately gave an alarm, and a posse was organized and started in persuit. The robber's horse was found near Pine Blull station, and it is belie ved he took the train there. His description has been wired along tho road, and his arrest is almost certain. Minneapolis. April 16. A bold and nearly snccessful attempt was made at noon today to rob the State Bank. Two men went into the bank when only two employes were present. Ono covered tho employes with a revolver, while tho other vaulted over the railing and thrust about $8,000 on the teller's table into a valise. At this moment a depositor entered, and this forced the uncovering of tho assistant cashier, w ho rushed to the safe to get his revolver. The robber throw the valise to his accomplice, who dashed into the president's room hyr mistate. Ho then jumped through a window and lied. Meanwhile the other man bad also escaped. There was a wild rush, in which three or four policemen joined and finally tho two robbers were caught and lodged in fail. The names of the men are given as James Henry and Fred Douglass. LoniON. Ont, April 16. Frank Clark, the only occupant of I S. Clarke's banking office, was astonished, this afternoon, when one of two men who had entered the office, presented a pistol at his head, and demanded what funds were on hand. He recovered his selfpossession almost immediately, however, and replied that he would surrender nothing, at the same time seizing the stranger's pistol and turning the muzzle away trom himself. A struggle ensued in which all three engaged, and tho noise so created alarmed the robbers that they tied from the bank and disappeared down the street. . Chicago, April 16. Edward Tilden, president of the Drovers' National Bank, at the Union Stockyards, has been arrested on the charge or attempted bribery. The warrant was issued at the instance of George Fleming, a former school trustee, and declares that on April 20, 1886, Tilden offered Fleming fo.OCO for his vote and influence on the school treasurership. Mr. Tilden gave bail. He denies the charge and intimates that Fleming's action is for revenge, Tilden having exerted himself at the recent election to defeat a brother of Fleming.

An exciting race for a child took place.in this city last Friday, but the story has just come out. Three years ago a young man named Donald married a handsome young lady at Plattsmouth, who was considered beneath him in the social scale. After aboutayear's married life he deserted her, leaving a three months' old babe. She went to Omaha and he to Weeping Water, where ho was engaged in a bank. After a time he longed for his child, and about three weeks ago went to Omaha and secured possession otf it from the lady who kept it during the day time, while the mot her was employed. The wife then went to Weeping Water and made an unsuccessful attempt to recapture it. Fearing further trouble from her, the child was placed in the caro of parties in this city. Learning this tho mother came here Friday and in company with a muscular servant girl, went so the residenco of the people who had her child. Luckily for her plans, no one was at homo but a nurse. and tho mother soon had the child clasped to her bosom and was hurrying to the cab, when she was met by a brother of her husband, who attempted to take tho child from her. Failing to do so, he struck her threoor four times, when the muscular servant girl came up behind and dealt him some blows which made him give up tho fight. While thus engaged with him the mother reached the depot and took the Omaha train, and is now safe at home with her bab3'. An Elopement and a SentlMe Mother.

The scale confer ence of the Western Pennsylvania, and Ohio railroad coal miners and operators adj oomed ' this evening, after adopting a scale providing for the payment of 71 1-2 cents per ton for mining in western Pennsylvania during the summer months, 70 1-2 cents in the winter, and 62 1-2 and 67 1-2 cents per ton for the sarnie seasons in Ohio. This is a reduction of 2 1-2 cents per ton on the present scale which expires on the 80th inst. The scale cemmittce was composed of eight operators and eight miners, four of each from Pennsylvania and tho balance from Ohio. The Pennsylvania miners voted unanimously against tho scale, but tho remaining twelve members of the committee voted m favor of it. If the action of the Pennsylvania members is sanctioned by the Pennsylvania miners, a strike in the Pennsylvania mines in inevitable. Tho delegates say a great majority of railroad coal miners will object to tho scale. This means that the Ohio mines will be running after May 1, while those in this State will bo closed down. A strike in Western Pennsylvania will thrown 8,000 miners out of employment. The Minneapolis Street-Car Strike. Minneapolis, Minn., April 16. To-day was' another quiet one in street-car circles, the only new feature being the striking of a few shop men whom the company ordered to tako out cars. The company claim that theyare waiting on tho city to furnish police protection; that the present police force is inadequate for the emergency, and tho city refuses to guarantee the necessary protection until they havo sworn in and drilled a suficient number of special police. It is pretty certain that an attempt will be made to start cars on one or two of the lines tomorrow, although it is 6aid tho company, havo been able, so far, to employ but sixtv men to take the places of four hundred and fifty strikers. It is thought the company will make concessions to the motor engineers to induce them to return to work, as they are unable to hire competent men to tako their places. The action of the engineers was approved by tho local Brotherood of Locomotive Engineers at their meeting last night. St. Paul, Minn., April 16. The street-car strike in bt. Paul has reached the Legisla is the fourth day of tho strike, and no attempt having been made to start cars or otherwise to accommodate tho public the Legislature probably acted more promptly than it would otherwise have done. The matter came up in the shape of a bill introduced by Mr. Willich which repeals a previous act validating an old ordinance giving the St. Paul City Railway Company tho exclusive privileges of the streets of this city, and the bill was passed bv a vote of 60 to 10. Tho effect of this legislation, which will probably pass the Senate, is to throw open the matter of exclusive right to the streets and leave tho decision of that question to the courts. Kansas City, April 1C Fifty determined men from western Kansas havo started for Minneapolis to tako the placesof the streetcar strikers there. Twenty-five went from Dodge City and twenty-live from Garden City in response to an offer of $3 per day for "determined" men. Wife Murder and Suicide. Buffalo, April 16. A fearful tragedy was enacted about 7 o'clock this morning in the rear of No. 1.M Seneca street, a tenement-house occupied by Thomas Doininguese, a Spaniard, aged thirty-eight, his wife, Clanna, and their two little children. Domingueso had been out all night. On his return he attacked his wife with a razor. Indications are that a fearful struggle ensued between the husband and wife, and that he must Jiave attacked her almost tho moment ho entered . the kitchen from the halL She must havo fought desperately, for her hands, arms, head and face were cut and sla.shcd-in many places, but ho finally obtained the mastery and almost cut her head from her body. The fiend then dragged her down stairs and threw her out upon the pavement in the court, where he died. He then went back into what might bo called tho front bedroom, from which he could see his wife lying below almost swimming in her blood. Jitandinh there, he, with; the same razor, cut his throat, leaving a hole into which a man could easily push both bands and falling close to the window. Ho must havo died almost instantly. The murderer left a let

ture and was acted on bv that body this afternoon, the City Railway Company beintr knocked out in the first round. This

ter, written in Spanish, in which he accused his wifo of iniidelity and said he had made up his mind to kill her. He had lately been in New York, but returned homo a few days ago. Outwitted by Thieves. ' Young stow.v, O., April ia The gang that tortured aud robbed old man Yoder, near Mcyersdale, Sunday morning, and were tracked to Pmkerton, are evidently the McClellandtown bandits . making their way back into West Virginia. Part of the gang 6tole horses near Ursina, Sunday night, rotfe them to Markleysburg, where they abandoned the horses, and in their course rodo through the town of Addison. Tho other two men of tho gang followed behind on foot, and were discovered robbing tho smoke-house of Win. llama, near Addison, yesterday morning. Tho owner followed them, and was joined by his brother John, John Walker and Mr. Augustine, farmers, all armed and mounted, who overtook the robbers and placed them under arrest. Ono of the robbers was placed in a buggy with Aufe-ustine, and the other behind llania. on his liorse. They had been too much excited, however, to disarm the thieves, and they, at a signal, covered their captors, made them throw down their arras and walk across the fields with uplifted hands till out of sight. The two cool-headed robbers then mounted their captors' horses, and rode to the West Virginia line, where they joined their confederates and took to tho woods. Obituary. Albany, tf. Y April 16. John G. White, one of Albany's most estimablo citizens and well known throughout the Union as tho oldest maltster, died to-day in this city, after a short illness. Ho was born on board the ship Fair America, bound for New Y'ork, on tho 2Jth of Julv, 1S01, his parents having emigrated from Tyrone, Ireland, in that year. Memphis, Tenn., April 16. Edward Goldsmith, ashier of the German Bank and vice-president of the Manhattan Savings and Trust Company, died, this afternoon, of pneumonia. Tho deceased held high rank among the financiers of Memphis. Found Guilty cf Kidnaping a Child. Chicago, April 16. Mrs. Josie Gurley, on trial for kidnaping little Annio Redmond, was found guilty this afternoon. By the verdict a terra or five years in the penitentiary awaits tho Gurley woman. Tho child stolen by her was kept in hiding for nearly a year. No adequate- reason for the crime ha3 developed The comparative poverty of the Redmonds precludes any idea that a ransom was expected. t John . Redmond, tho father, who went insane when Annie disappeared, is still under treatment Mrs. Gurley showed great composure during tho case until the last, when she broke down and was removed from the court-room in hysterics. The Dakota Tin Mine. Raiid City, D. T., April 16. James Wilson, chief promoter of the Harney Peak tin-mining deal, accompanied. by Prof. M. C. Vincent, of the Royal Geographical Society; George Baring-Gould, R. Ramsey and Richard D. Atkins, stockholders of the company, arrived on Saturday from England and left vesterday for the tin mines, where extensive works will be started. The three parties last named are largely interested in the celebrated Kimberly diamond mines of South Africa. Professor Vincent will have charge of tho work. Fatal Explosion in a Powder-Works. ' TnOY, N. Y., April 16. A portion of the works of the Schaglicoke Powder Company was blown up last night by the explosion of two. hundred pounds of material in a mixing vat. Charles R. Rose was killed and Murvin Bennoway received injuries which will probably be fatal.

American Agriculturist The coloring and decoration of Easter eggs is a pleasant employment for young people. It allows a great exercise or taste and ingenuity, and prettily-decorated egg make a nice Easter favor to send to-a friend instead of the more common card. Beautiful and really artistic results can be achieved with little money and the exercise of taste, care aud patience. The first step is usually to boil the eggs hard. They should be put in cold water, which " 6hould bo allowed to come to boil gradually; then the. eegs must be removed. A disregard of this precaution is apt to result incracked oruroken shells. Another way is to make a email hole in the end of each egg with a slender darning-needle and blow the contents out. These egg shells aro much more delicate and easily broken than the first mentioned. Still another method is to remove the contents and fill the shell with liquid plaster of paris, which soon hardens and makes a very substantial egg. The plaster should be mixed with water until it runs easily. If, after some plaster is run in the shell, a few shot are added, tho egg will always maintain an upright position. The most simple way to color eggs is to sew ribbon or calico that will fade around them and boil a few moments. The skin of the dark red onions will color beautiful shades of yellow-browns. Tuci will give shades of crimson, light or dark, according to the length of time the eggs are left iu the dye. Injligo dissolved in water, to which oxalic acid is added in the proportion of a teaspoonf ul to a quart of the dve, gives a pretty blue. Names, tlates and tigures can be put on eggs after they are dyed by tracing the letters or tigures with a fine brush or a pen dipped in oxalic acid. To tint eggs any shade uso oil paints of variou8hues. Koil a piece of soft cotton cloth into a wad, and with this rub tho oil paint ou the egg, being careful to take only a small quantity at a time on the dauber. Any one who knows how to Eaint can decorate these tinted eggs very andsomely by putting on each some appropriate design or motto. For a blue egg a cluster of lilies of the valley or snow drops aro charming. Another very suggestive design is a leafless branch with a cryulis attached and the released butterfly no vering near. It is wise to choose irregular letters for the motto; gold or bronze paint can bo used effectively in putting them on. Eggs left uncolored and a simple design painted on the 8hellare quite satisfactory. A variety can bo made by selecting light and dark-colored eggs and different sizes from the larger egg of the goosoto-thetiny ono of the bantam. A Kind Word for Greely. New York Graphic. I met Lieutenant Goodwin, of tho United States army, at the Fifth-avenue Hotel the other evening, and he rather surprised me by tho following bit of news: One .of the most prevailing errors of the press and the people' he said, "is that Gen. A. W. Greely, tho chief signal officer, got his appointment as a reWard for his sullerin gs ana work in the Arctic regions, and that in, point of fact he has no special fitness for his position. The fact is that Greely is one of tho oldest officers in the signal service, and one of tho ablest. He left the signal service to go to the Arctic region. He is a wonderfully clever observer, and if tho per centage of correct indications have fallen oft' since bis appointment, it is entirely due to the department having given hira as assistants sixteen lino officers to whom tho business' is entirely new. To Find Those Caramels. Norristmn Herald. There is one thing a woman can do. When her husband gives her a letter to mail she can't place it in her inside coat pocket and forget it for six weeks. Come to think about it. a man never gives his wifo a letter to mail. And besides, if a woman had forty-seven pockets in her gar-, ments she would rummage through them all at least once in twenty-four hours. The Buddhist Fad. Missionary Review. One of tho greatest hindrance to tho pospel iu Cevlon is said to be the coquetting with Butidhism which has become fashionable among Europeans."
