If you only stop to consider one moment, you'll readily surmise the reason. Aren't the 'prettiest the "most taking" Roods first sold? Isn't It an evidence of popularity vhen everyone wants a dress from "that piece," and f.- yard after yard la sold, leaving a remnant. That's why REMNANTS ARE POPULAR They are always ends of the most desirable goods, and when you couple that fact with the magic HALF PRICE and less, one ceases to wonder why remnant counters are so attractive. This is the second week of the REMNANT SALE with lots of choice pickings la each department. Will you be one of the early ones?

MAD MAN RUNS AMUCK

PATRICK HALM VAX, AFTER SHOOTIXU TWO PIMtSOXS, IS KILLED. XV. II. Morphy, Husband of One of the Victims, the Slayer Snmucl Pnugh Hurt. Yesteday 'noon Tatrick Gallivan, cf ICS Dc-loss street, in a moment of insane frenzy, shot Samuel I'augh and Mr. Molly Murphy, both living next door to the Gallivan home, and also attacked the lattcr's husband, Weetlen IJ. Murphy, an ir.rrctcr for the Consumers' Gas Company. After a terrible fetruggia Murphy succeeded In disarming tho crazed man and shot him through the head, killing him instantly. I'augU and Mrs. Murp'ay are not expected to live. Murphy himself at once telephoned for the po'-ice. Superintendent Colbert soon arrived and sent the man to the station house, where he was held for several hours until Coroner Castor rendered a verdict as to the cause of Gallivan's death. The coroner found the shooting had been done in self-defense and Murphy was at once released. From stories told by the dead man's wife and other witnesses it seems Gallivan must have become suddenly insane after eating his dinner. Mrs. GaKlvan was at work in the back yard, when her husband rushed past her and began shooting. Faugh was in an outboulldlng. Gallivan caught sight of him and fired two shots, the second taking effect. Faugh fell to the ground In a heap, but managed to drag himself into tho building, where he lay bleeding for some time before being discovered. After shooting I'augh, Gallivan jumped over the fence and ran toward Murphy's kitchen door. About the time the first shot was fired Murphy came into his house through the front door. His wife met him and took his coat. They heard the shots and sho started through the back part of the house to Investigate, her husband suggesting that boys were throwing snowtoalls against the building. She reached tho kitchen door at the same moment that Gallivan arrived. When she opened it ho fired at her point blank, the tmllet striking her above the abdomen and passing through her body. She fell to tho lf' fmng- to her husband that she Has shot and crying for him to run for a uoctor. Gallivan entered tho house, shouttS to lurPhy that he Intended to shoot rum. As near as can be learned, it seems thu frenzied man fired another shot before Murphy could get a hold on him. Then a terrible struggle began, the madman lighting like a tiger, notwithstanding his age and feeble condition. The kitchen ia small and Murphy had littlo room in which to overpower his assailant.

Vt mat dInner. but arrived in a short time. Murphy surrendered himself. He was taken to tne station house and held on the charge ?5inuderJc)ron'r Castor was notified and interviewed Murphy and a number of witnesses to the affair. He at onco rendered tho following verdict: "I, Hiram C. Castor, the coroner of Marion county, having examined the body of Patrick Gallivan and r.eard the testimony of the witnesses, do hereby find that the said deceased came to his death on the eth day of January, , 4 Ueloss street, Indianapolis, from a pistol-shot wound, and I further find that J,lM, injury was Inflicted bv one William 11. Murphy, who wa3 fully justified In the act. Murphy wa3 released Immediately. The coroner viewed the remains of the dead man and his body was conveyed to Wilson & Murphy s morgue, 470 Virginia avenue, where an autopsy was held at 5 o'clock last evening by Dr. Hichard F. Bigger. At the hospital an examination was made or the wounded man and woman. It was found that the bullet hit Paugh below the ninth rib, about the center of the body. It passed through the body, but lodged Just beneath the skin, about an inch tc the left of the spinal column. Dr. SutclilTe removed the ball and dreswd the man's wounds, fi f,sJn a very critIcal condition, and but little hopes were expressed for his recovery last night. Mrs. Murphy was shot through the pubis, the ball in its course penetrating the bladder and rectum, passing out through the fleshy part of the left hip. The hospital rnyslcians thought there was but little chance for her recovery, wounds of the character received by her being considered a most necessarily fatal. At a late hour last night the patients were resting comfortably, but it was feared they would die before morning. AN OLD QUARREL. About two years ago, it Is said, Gallivan and Murphy had trouble on account of improper actions on Gallivan's part, it being charged he grossly offended Mrs. Murphy and her daughter. Since that time the two families have not been on speaking terms. Gallivan was formerly employed as a switchman at the Big Four shops, near his home, but for the past two years he has been In ill health and has done but little irork. For the last six months he has been 111 most of the time and has bought a great deal of patent medicine, but has been unable to obtain relief. He has been at Martinsville for treatment without seeming to derive much benefit. It seems to be the general Impression In the neighborhood the man has been growing gradually Insane, and that he ha3 probably brooded over the trouble he had with the Murphy family. He was regarded as a good neighbor, quiet and Inoffensive, and the entire neighborhood was terribly shocked and surprised at the occurrence. It seemed to be the general Impression last nlsht hi must have become suddenly insane. Gallivan's wife and seven children survive him. Three of the boys were away at work, while the other children, with the exception of the youngest, Frank, a boy of four years, were at school. The boys were sent for at once and went to their mother, who had run to Mrs. Schrader's house when the first shot was fired. Surrounded by her children, the poor woman spent a most unhappy day, mounring for her dead husband and bewailing the Incidents of the tragedy. When the boys arrived one of them insisted on seeing his father and passed the olTleers stationed at Murphy's door. Ho forced his way into the kitchen, where his father was still lying In a pool of coagulited black blood. The scene was ghastly and the fumes of bloo.l and burnt powder overpowenng. ine iaa casi one fiance ai nis uca parent, wnen ne swooned ana naa to be carried ir'irn inr iiuuir.

At the autopsy last nlsht Dr. P.igger found that tho bullet which caused Gallivan's death penetrate! near tho margin of the left parietal bone and ploughed its way upward, passing out at the suture between the two parietal bones. The brain was badly 'acerated. While an extensive examination was not made as to the condition of the brain. It was found to be considerably diseased. A large clot of blood was found in the left hemisphere of the brain, probably caused by a fragment of bonej The

fkull was frightfully fractured by the ball, the top part being shattered and almost entirely torn away. The weapoa used by Gallivan was a 41caliber Colt's army revolver, and is probably the same carried by Gallivan through the civil war. II was a veteran and drew a pension. Coroner Castor found another revolver In his pocket. It was a 2T-ca liber weapon cf the bull-dog pattern. Members of his family sal 1 last night they had never seen either revolver and did not know they were in tho house. Superintendent Colbert has the weapon used in the shooting In his custody. After Mrs. Murphy's wounds were dressed she was able to taik with much diliiculty. but managed to ghe the following story of th shooting: "I don't know why the man did such a thing, unless he was insane. We have had no trouble with him for over a j-ear. lie was guilty of showing his person to rr.e and my daughter at cne time, but since that troub we have not spoken. The first I knew of the matter was the shot outside, and when I cper.ed the door he was on the .ten and shot me. Then he rushed at my husband, and the next I knew was that Gallavin was lying on the floor, with the blood running from a hole in his head." Samuel I'augh said: "The man was certainly Insane, for I did not know him at all and had never spoken to him. The first I knew was the shot, and I heard a bullet whiz by me and lodre in the fence. Then Gallivan Jumped over the fence from his own yard into Mr. Murphy's ar.d fired a shot at me before I could realize what ho was doing. This one hit me and I fell to the walk and knew no more. I know nothing of any other trouble that may have occurred previously." After hearing Murphy's story Superintendent Colbert considered the man was perfectly Justified in shooting Gallivan, but felt he could not be released until the coroner rendered a verdict. Coroner Castor talked to him, and after his interview told Superintendent Colbert he need not hold the man so far as he, the coroner, was concerned, as the man had simply acted in self-defense. He was held, however, until the coroner telephoned he had rendered a verdict of self-defense. Last night Coroner Castor said the verdict was rendered without taking written testimony and upon the verbal statements of witnesses. "There was nothing vise the man could do. He was simply defending his home and his life. His wife had been shot down before his eyes, and, for all he knew, was at that moment dead. Gallivan was undoubtedly insane and had turned upon Murphy with the Intention of shooting him. I never rendered a verdict in sdeh a short time before, but I felt sorry for the man. He knew his wife was lying at the point of death and wanted to be with her. Under the circumstances I could render no other verdict." MURPHY TKLLS HIS STORY.

He Unci n Terrible Struggle rrith the Mnnlne. After his release, Murphy went at once to tho City Hospital and spent several hours at tho bedside of his wife. The man broke down completely when he saw her terriblo suffering. The hospital physicians assured him everything possible was being dono for her comfort and told him there was a slight chanco for her recovery. A friend, who accompanied him, urged him to return to his home and children, telling him they needed his car and attention. Mr. and Mrs. Murphy have four children, three boys and a girl. The (laughter Is the oldest and is employed In a store on Virginia avenue. She was not at homo at the time her mother was shot, but arrived soon after. The other children are all small, the youngest being about five years old. Murphy returned to his home. Tho meeting between father and children was touching. The daughter threw her arms about her father's neck and inquired if her mother was alive. Her Joy was great on receiving an affirmative answer. During the evening scores of friends and neighbors visited the Murphy household and while all united with Murphy in saying the affair was deplorable, nothing but words of commendation were uttered for his course. Last night Mr. Murphy was seen and recounted the story of the trouble. Ho said he had Just come home to dinner. His wife met him In the side room. At the same moment shots were heard, but he thought some one was throwing snowballs against his house. Said he: "My wife said to me, 'What is that noise Brady?' She started into the kitchen to see what It was. I turned about to follow her. Just then she opened the back door and Gallivan stepped up and shot her. She fell In front of the door, ehouting that she was shot and telling me to run for a doctor. Gallivan pushed his way past her and started for me. I saw at once he was crazy. He said he was going to kill me and started towards me. I grabbed hf3 arm and then we had a terrible struggle. I finally managed to get the weapon out of his hand, and shot him. He fell over on the floor beside my wife. When he ran Into the house I could see by his wild eyes he was crazy. I didn't have time to think. He had shot my wife and I knew he would shoot me If he got a chance. I had no chance to hit him. He had me against the stove and I could not strike, as my arm was against the wall. After we got my wife into the other room, some one told me Paucjh was shot. I went around into the back yard and we carried him into the house. That was the first I knew Paugh had been hurt. He never had any trouble with Gallivan. I don't know whether they had ever spoken. I do not believe they were even acquainted. After we got Paugh in the house, I telephoned for the police. I carried the revolver with me and gave it to a grocer. They took me to the station houpe, where I stayed some time. All the time I was thinking about my wife and I didn't know but she had died. If she had not been shot I would not have cared so much. I only acted in self-defense. The man bad shot Mollie. and would have shot me ir I had not killed him." TIIR SOX KXOXKUATHS MPRPnY. Etlwnnl Gallivan Attaches Xo Blame in IHni The Father Insane. Edward Gallivan, aged twenty-one, a son of the dead man, and who Is employed as cashier in the Commercial Club restaurant, called at the Journal office last night and made a statement in regard to the shooting. "As near as I can learn," he said, "there seems to have been no cause for this affair except the insanity of my father. Ho has hal such spell3 before, but never showed any Inclination, more than a rambling talk, to injure any one. About three months ago he had such a spell, and I wantel him to be examined and treated by a physician. I talked to "him about it, but the talk seemed only to Irritate him, and I said no more, for I did not think of the possibility cf him killing or Injuring any one. His brother also talked to him, but with no better success. He seemed to recover from his spell, and for a long time he did nothing unusual, and we thought he would be afflicted no more. , m , "So far as I can learn the story of the .snooting. I cannot attach the slightest blame to Mr. Murphy. It is hard, though, to lose one's father in that way. My mother and father bad eaten dinner together, and then mother went to the back vard to finish hanging out her washing. Sho left father reading a paper. There had been nothing unusual in his actions to attract her attention, and she wa very much surprised to hear a pistol shot immediately after he stepped out of the back door. She turned, ran through th house, grabbed her baby and then ran to the home of a neighbor. She met the smaller children at the gate as they were returning from school and took them with "her. She did not know, but thought the first shot was merely fired at random, and that then, as father caught sight of Mr. I'augh. he conceived the insane idea of Shooting him and did so. Mother did not stop to see what else was done, ar.vl knows nothing about the subsequent shootirg. "The report of previous trouble between my father and Mr. Murphy, I think, is entirely without foundation. The families were on good terms, and I know of no quarrel between Mr. Murphy and mv father. Such a th!ng might have happened, but the famllv relations have been pleasant. I think my father did not begin this matter through any reeling or anger or revenge, but simply because ho was insane and did not know what he was doing. It is a very ir.iforlunr.te affair, and one that could hardIv be foreseen and avoided. I wish to emphasize the fact that, hard as it may ycem to say It about the man who killed my father. I cannot consistently blame him fur what he has done. He merely acted in self-defense against an insane man." Mrx Gallivan says: "I was In the back yard hanging out a shirt I had washed when my husband rushed past me and fired a shot. I grabbed my little boy Frank and ran to Mr?. Schrader's house, where I srayed until the trouble was all over. 1 did not see any one shot, and did not know any one was hit until somebody came and sai l ray husband was dead. I have never seen anything in his appearance or conduct that would make me think he was insane. He has been sick for feveral months and unable to work. He has never been under a doctor's care, but has toutrht conslderaMe medicine for his nerves. Last summer he bought five dollars' worth of patent medicine at one time. I wanted hfm to go to a doctor, but he would not do it. He and I ato our dinner to-day with my little on. Mv other children were away from hom. My husband seemed cheerful, and I didn't

notice anything unusual in his actions. After dinner I went on with my work, and

I d!dn t see anything strange in his conduct when he came into the back yard. I didn't see Mr. Pauffh. When my husband not he was in oar own yard. L diin't stop to seo what he was shooting at. l was frightened, and was afraid he would shoot tho child. It was a3 much of a surprise to rne as any one. My husband never had any trouble with I'augh. as far as I know. Mrs. Gallivan said she did not know where her husband srot the revolvers he used. She had never seen them about the house. Mrs. George Schrader. who lives at 15S Deloss street, said she heard Mrs. Gallivan talking to her children about the affair after they came to her house and overheard her tell them if she had her husband's case attended to the shooting would never have occurred. "I heard her nay she ought to have had him sent to the asylum," said Mrs. Schrader. "She kept saying to them. 'O. if we had only had him taken care of this might never have occurred.' " Mrs. Schrader said Mr. Gallivan had been sick for a long time, and had been sent to Martinsville for treatment for nervous dis eases. Ho was there until a week or so before Christmas. She had never heard It intimated Mr. Gallivan was Insane before. EIGHT NEW MEMBERS BOARD OP AGRICULTURE "WILL HAVE LIVELY CONTESTS.

MERELY EXPRESS SYMPATHY. Hoard of Trade Will Not Aslt Belligerency Recognition for Cubans. The board of governors of the Indianapolis Board of Trade, at their regular monthly meeting last night, declined to indorse the action of the National Board of Trade on tho question of a 1-cent postage rate. The Indianapolis board thinks the deficit in the Postoffice Department alrsady too large to admit of a reduction in postage. The board also declined to join in tne petition of the Kansas City Board of Trade asking Congress to recognize the belligerency cf Cuba. After discussing the Cuban question the board passed resolutions of sympathy as follows: "Whereas, the present uprising of the people of Cuba is characterized by a spirit of patriotism akin to that demonstrated by our ancestors in throwing off the yoke of Great Britain, and, "Whereas we beiieve the great mass of tne people of our own government entertain a feeling of profound sympathy and hope for the success o the causs In which they are engaged, therefore, "Be it resolved. By the members of the governing committee of the Indianapolis Hoard of Trade that we most earnestly sympathize with the people nf Cuba in their tiforts to achieve thsir independence end establish a republican form of government. Resolved, further, that copies of these resolutions be forwarded to our Senators and Representatives in Congress." Thti membership committee repotted the death of Dr. H. G. Carey and Silas T. Bowen and the election of Edward D. Evans, Edpar H. Evans and Lyman W. Louis as members of the boirJ. A memorial on the death of Silas T. Howen, who in 1&7 un 1 lVs, was president of the board, was submitted by the committer on resolutions and adiptel.

Governor Matthews dictated the following: "If the necessity for another bond Issue arires. the popular loan I right. I believe it would be weil received by the people to a sufficient amount, if not to the full hun dred million of the call. There could be no better or safer 'custodians of the national credit than the; people themselves. When they fall to respond will be time to make the loan through the tanning synaicatei. '

A LOCAL BOND ISSUE

THE COMMON COUXCIL PASSES THE IVECESSARY MEASURE. An Ordinance Tnxlue Gnu Mnlnn City Attorney Thinks Present Cns Contract Sufficient. The Common Council last evening passed the ordinance authorizing the sale of STO.COO In 4-per-cent. bonds, to run seven years, by which money Is to be raised in order to Improve the fire department and the City Hospital. The ordinance appropriating: $13,0 for the fire department and $26,000 Vx the City Hospital passed without discussion or objection. The hospital appropriation is left as it was fixed by Controller Johnson and the finance committee, against the wishes of the Board of Health. No provision is made by the ordinance for a nurses' quarters. Members of the Board of Health say they will have nothing to do with the expenditure of the appropriation, but they had hoped that the Council would take some consideration of their wishes before passing the ordinance as amended. Councilman Clark's fortune tellers ordinance did not come up for passage, neither was there a report received from the subcommittee which investigated the needs of such an ordinance. This subcommittee Is composed of Coancilmen Coulter, Murphy and Shaffer, who visited a fortune teller and had the future foreshadowed In order that they might be prepared to act. Mr. Colter was told that he shall be given great riches, while Messrs. Murphy and Shaffer were told that wealth is theirs but they will have to struggle for It. Mr. Colter, who weighs two hundred pounds and looks as healthful as a man can well appear, was told that ho stands In great danger of consumption, for the disease was believed to be hereditary in tho family. All of his ancestors have reached the age of eighty, however. The subcommittee, which belongs to the committee on public morals, recommends that the section prohibiting fortune tellers from advertising be stricken from the ordinance, and that the license be reduced from $2i0 to $30. Councilman Clark revived an old ordinance by introducing it in a remodeled form, taxing gas mains 2,,2 cents per foot for all mains laid within tho city. The ordi nance was referred to the committee on finance. The Kate ordinance was revived and introduced, so changed as to provide that gates may swing both ways, but shall not swing only outward. This ordinance was referred to the committee on public sarety and comfort. Councilman Ohleycr introduced an ordinance changing the name of Grand avenue to Minnesota street, which went to the committee on sewers, streets and alleys. The ordinance Introduced by Montgomery compelling owners and occupants of property to clean snow from sidewalks came from the committee In a very bad ehane. Tho original ordinance had been amended so as to allow twenty-four hour3 In which to clean walks. Dirt was included in tne section describing what shall be removed. and Ice was omitted, while In an effort to compel owners of vacant property to clean walks the language was not such as to be readily understood. There was some confusion in the minds of tho councilmen and a second reading did not help matters. A motion was made to strike the ordinance from the files. A friend of the ordinance offered several amendements before the vote was taken. The ordinance was killed on account of the unsatisfactory manner in which it was drawn. A new ono will te prepared. The ordinance giving the Board of Safety the right to prepare rules concerning elec-trlc-llght wires and to grant ponce powers to an inspector, to be paid by the Insurance companies, passed with little opposition. Councilman Allen objected on tne grouna that anv compulsory rules would have to be embodied In the ordinance, the Board of Safety not having the authority to formu late laws. There was 6ome surprise when tho finance committee recommended that the ordinance increasing the salary of chief clerk or tne assessment bureau from ji.ljo to fi.tw De stricken from the files, for it was known that the passage of the ordinance was de sired by Mayor Taggart, who withheld the appointment of William Hughes to tne position in order that he might obtain the benefit of the increase. Yesterday, it seems, it became known that the ordinance was Knot to pass for some reason, and Mr. Hughes was appointed at the 01a salary. The recommendation of the finance committee was adopted unanimously. Councilmen Allen and Payne objected to the passage of the ordinance granting the Big Four Raiiroaa company tne ngnt 10 lay and maintain a switch across Leota street. They asked that final action be deferred until it was ascertained if the com pany has complied with the wishes of the Board of Works in lowering the tracks from Ohio street to Seventh, it was recalled tnat the company wanted some return favor from the city, unmindful of the donation of the Delaware street sidewalk. Councilman Wolcott said the company had stated that it would not lower the tracks without the city would lower the grade crossings at the city's expense, but since then a letter has been received by the board saying the tracks will be put at proper grade. The ordinance was passed giving the railroad company a portion or Lieota street, Allen and Payne voting against It. The ordinance Introduced by Payne, making it an offense for any one to cry out fire at a public assemblage in a theater or hall, or to strike a match in any such place, and affixing a penalty for a violation, passed after an amendment had been made, the result of which is to make it an offense to strike a match only In a theater where there Is an assemblage. It will be unlawful to cry "fire" In any hall or theater. The ordinance fixing the salary of sergeant-at-arms of the Council at $100 a year passed without opposition. City Attorney Curtis sent to the Council a report on the resolutions passed at a former meeting, instructing him to investigate the price of gas, the pressure of which should be furnished, and decide if consumers are compelled to pay when they do not receive a sufficient amount of gas. Mr. Curtis ouoted from the natural gas ordinance showing tho prices set by or dinance. The company should furnish a four-ounce pressure to the Inch, and he said if consumers are not getting what they contracted for, tbey have the r.'Rht to bring legal proceedings. iMr. Curtis does not advise the introduction of a special or dinance, as the original ordinance very clearly sets forth what is expected or the companies. WILLIAM HUGHES APPOINTED. Old Auditor's Force Are .All in the City's Employ Now. The Board of Works yesterday appointed William Hughes clerk of the assessment bureau at a salary of $100 a month. It Is true that Mr. Hughes has been waiting for the position for several weeks and that Mr. Taggart ha3 been waiting also. Everybody has been waiting in the hope that the Council would Increase the salary, but yesterJay information was received that suchj was not to be expected. The situation was accepted by all with gooi grace, although rumor had it that Mr. Hughes had to be coaxed. He was the accepted applicant for the position, yet there came a surprise when he was appointed without the increase of salary. Much to the disgust of some Democrats Mr. Taggart now has gathered around him those who worked for him while he was county auditor. The old courthouse crowd has been moved to the basement, Mr. Hughes being the last to Join the fold. There Is E. M. Johnson, In the controller's office, with two clerks who were In county offices. Bert Spencer is the Mayor's clerk and a few others are scattered around over the citv department. John W. Plaff, who has been deposed to make room for Mr. Hughes, will be re talned as chief clerk. IlECOGMZES THE COMPAVT. Hoard of Works Will Confer with the Cltlxctin OClciala. Although the Citizens' Street-railroad Company is not recognized by the city in suits pending as having a lawful existence, the Board of Works yesterday decided to hold a conference with the company concerning the improvement of bridges over Fall creek at Illinois street and Central avenue. The board has been informed that both these bridges are in the worst kind of repair and that they are dangerous. Upon information furnished the beard, it would nat be surprising if the b idges should fall at any time. The heavy traxiic of the street-car company has done more to damage the bridges than anything else. Neither cf the bridges was constructed for such purposes as they have been used for. The company has double tracks on each bridge, and theso tracks take up all of the floor o

the bridges. Inasmuch as the company derives ?.o much benefit from these bridges, the Board of Works Is of the unanimous opinion that the company should p'.ace the bridges in a sound condition. City Attorney Curtis has been asked for an opinion .concerning the company's liability and requested to consult the management of the company and see if improvements cannot be made.

Schumacher Threw Him Twice In Lea than Elsht Minutes. Peter Schumacher last night threw Herb Hale at English's Opera House twdce In successive bouts. Both times the hammerlock hold was secured without apparent trouble by .Schumacher and "it was' then only the matter of a few seconds until Hale's shoulders touched the floor. The first bout lasted four minutes and the second three and one-half minutes. The fact that the work was done so quickly was a source of great disappointment to the auJlence. It was expected that It would have been a much closer and more even contest. The result also shattered tho Idol of many people here, who have thought Hale 'invincible within his class. After the match was over it was announced that Schumacher would accept the challenge issued by Harvey Parker to the winner. Parker issued the challenge Sunday night and placed a forfeit of $25 with the Journal. Last night Schumacher covered the forfeit. The time for the match has not yet been decided upon, but it will take place here within a few weeks. A Theodore Shockney Clnb.
