PLYMOUTH. inc an;. EUN IN KANSAS CITY. LIVELY WAR THREATENED IN CUPID'S COURT. Pennsylvania Train Collides with a Trolley Car Capt. Blanche Cox Refuses to Pay Her Fine Half a Ton in Vircin Silver. Get Married Cheaply. A matrimonial fee war is threatened in Kansas City, and marriage eeremoniea may be performed cheaper than now. The justices of the peace are dissatisfied over the manner in which Probate Judge Angle is handling the matrimonial end of his court, and they threaten to give a "dull season" rate to all men who are brave enough to take unto themselves better halves. The justices claim that the probate judge is violating the code of ethics of the profession by soliciting trade In the matrimonial line. They claim that when they send men who are determined to marry to the court house after the necessary license they seldom return to have the ceremonies performed. They assert that Judge Angle solicits the prospective grooms to permit him to tie the knots and that the judge, with his fine persuasive powers, almost always succe?ds in getting the job. A justice stated that in order to bring the probate judge to time there was talk among the justices of reducing the price. They will first reduce the fee to $1, and if that does not have the desired effect they will perform ceremonies for a while for nothing. Five Persons Hurt at Shar jmburCf Pa. The fast meat train on the "West Pennsylvania road collided with an electric car on the Sharpsburg and Citizens line Sharpsburg, Pa., Tuesday morning, and five people were injured. There were about thirty passengers in the car and the accident occurred at a crossing. Just as the electrie car reached the railway tracks the trolley came off. leaving the car in darkness. The engineer of the approaching train, which was running at a high rate of speed, did not see the car until he was quite near it. He applied the airbrakes, but could not prevent the collision. Most of the passengers on the street car were able to get off before the accident occurred, but the motorman stuck to his post and will probably forfeit his life. She Gees to Jail for Preaching. Capt. Blanche Cox of the Salvation army at Colorado Springs, Colo., an intelligent and refined lady, has gone to jail for thirty days for preaching in the streets. She would not pay a fine imposed upou her nor allow her friends to pay it for her. Capt. Cox was in Chicago with Mrs. Maud Rallington Booth last year and took part in a series of services conducted by Mrs. Booth. She attracted great attention because of her eloquence and earnestness, and was considered extremely intelligent. She is said to belong to a rich English family, and gave up her position in social life to join the army and work with it. Her appearance is that of a refined, educated and extremely intelligent young woman. Fortune in One Lump. From Peach Springs, A. T., conies the story of the finding of a nugget, or bowlder, rather, of pure silver, such as there has been no record of iu the history of mining in the West. The bowlder weighs about half a ton, and its value is anywhere from $8,000 to $10,000. It was found by William Tucker and John Doyle, both prospectors, and they have kept the facts to themselves heretofore because of the chance that there was more silver where this lump came from and they desired to get the besr location for themselves before letting the rest of the world into the secret. Increase of 15 Per Cent. The Johnson Steel Company at Lorain, Ohio, posted notices of a 15 per cent increase in wages to the men in the converting mill, dryhouse and machine shops, in all about 200. The men in the shape mill had their wages raised last week. The Increase is entirely voluntary on the part of the company. There will be an advance in all departments. The mill is rushed with orders, and every branch is running to its fullest capacity. Mob little in InMallt-. News from Ingalls, east of Perry, Ok., states that a big light occurred there Sunday evening, and John llaynes was shot. He will die. Tom Stone and three other men were either shot or cut terribly. The men fell out over something that was said about Bill Doolin. The mob which gathered Sunday evening had charge of the town for hours, and much damage was done. BREVITIES. Northern Colorado coal mine operators have formed a combine. Maurice Barrymore was injured in a bicycle accident at his summer home oa Staten Island. Rev. A. C. Hirst, D. D.. pastor of SimpBon Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church at San Francisco, has received a call to one of the leading churchew of Chicago. Edmund Ileurstel, a New York lawyer, was arrested on a warrant charging him with forgery. The specific charge is the alleged forgery of a check for $7,000, although the amount involved is said to reach many thousand dollars. llie Alpine tunnel on the South Park Road near Denver, said to be the highest railroad tunnel in the world, was reoj.ened. It has been snowed up the last five years. The tunnel is at an altitude of 11,000 feet, is 1,770 feet long and was bored nino years ago at a cost of $2(10,000. Duncan, Ilollinger & Co., grain brokers of Omaha, have suspended in consequence of the embezzlement of $20,000 by W. G. Beach, manager of their Lincoln branch. John - B. Specker, dong business ns Specker Bros. & Co., wholesale dry goods, at Cincinnati, has failed. The assets are placed at $750,000, with liabilities somewhat less. A new filibustering expedition against Hawaii is reported to have been inearthed at San Francisco. David Oldham, a deacon in the Methodist Church at Ukiah, Cal., has been arrested for robbing a stage.

EASTERN. Polles Inspector McLaughlin of New York has been sentenced to two years and six months' imprisonment in Sing Sing. One week's time is allowed him in which to settle up his affairs. The police com missioners Tuesday night reinstated McLaughlin to his rank in the police force from which the board dismissed him upon the finding of the jury that he was guilty of extortion in office. Aug. Theis wrote Gov. Morton of New York that unless he at once inspects Theis patent machine for the healing of the nations and the abolition of death he will hold the Governor personally responsible for the deaths that ensue henceforth in New York State. A month ago Theis attempted to gain access to the Governor and present the merits of the machine. lie is a crank. E. P. McDonough. of Boston, who has just returned from a lengthy stay in Cuba, has no doubt that the Cubans will be granted home rule as an outcome of the present insurrection. Mr. McDonough also said he was informed that $10,000,000 of American money is now at stake at Santiago through lack of American war vessels. McDonough also declared that he knew Marti was dead beyond a shadow of doubt. He was killed on the west bank of the river at Ranaugaunos. a point between Santiago de Cuba and Bayamo. Frank E. G rover, foreman of the Hochester, N. , Gas and Electric Company, Friday leaned against a dynamo at the lower falls power house, where he is employed, and fell writhing to the floor. He had received a heavy charge of electricity, and was apparently dead. A physician and assistants worked over his body fortyfive minutes before there was a sign of life. Then natural breathing began, and in half an hour more the man opened his eyes and recognized those about him. Iu Mr. Grover's leg a deep hole was found, and on his side a burn seven inches long. When the machinery was stopped his clothing and flesh were burning. Between 2,000 and 3,000 volts of electricity passed through his body. The current is considered three times that uecessary to kill in a State prison. A very long step forward was taken by the new woman at New York Thursday. Mrs. Catherine Mcllvaine took it. She keeps a stationery store and her husband, Alexander, lives with her. She is a handsome woman, well developed and muscular; he is wizened, subdued in manner and talks in a treble voice. Mrs. Mcllvaine had her husband before Police Justice Kyan charging him with ill treatment, failure to support her and drunkenuess. "What have you to say to your wife's charges?' asked the judge. "It's all because I wouldn't do the cooking and washing any longer," auswered Mcllvaine weakly. "She made me do the washing. She stood over me with a horsewhip. I did a whole week's washing Thursday, and on Friday and Saturday she threatened me with that whip unless I did the ironing." Mrs. Mcllvaine said her husband was a loafer, and he was sent to prison for a month.

WESTERN. Harry Hayward, who was to have been hanged at Minneapolis Friday, has been granted a respite for thirty days pending argument for a new trial. Mrs. Springer, who, with her second husband, was accused of murdering her first husband, II. B. Darling, by slow poison, died at a resort iu Santa Cruz mountains of diabetes. C. U. Fennimore, of New York, is under arrest at Detroit, charged with being one of a gang of directory or "business men's guide" swindlers. The chief gang is said to be in Chicago. The Missouri river is rising rapidly, the June rise having commenced in earnest. The water rose three inches Wednesday, and one and a half Thursday. The water has been advancing gradually for some time. Ex-Congressman Richard Bland, of Missouri, has returned to Denver from his lecturing tour through the State, and is ill. He is unable to see callers. His weakened condition is the result of an attack of la grippe. Ex-Congressman W. A. Harris, of Kansas, has been sued by Barney Murray, a Topeka hotel keeper, for $20,000 damages for alienating the affections of the latter's wife, who secured a divorce and married the ex-Congressman. Lieut. Milton F. Davis, now stationed at the Presidio, has brought suit to obtain a divorce from his wife, Blanche Bates, the actress. The wedding, which took place a year ago, was a great event in San Francisco society, but, after living with her husband three months, Miss Bates deserted him to return to the stage. Prosecution of the men suspected of complicity in the attempt to cheat the city of Chicago by means of fraudulent payrolls in the street cleaning and pipe extension departments was begun by the arrest of four foremen and two timekeepers ou warrants charging them" with conspiracy to obtain money by false pretenses. O. Dunbar, editor of the Phoenix, A. T., Gazette, has been found guilty of criminal libel. The plaintiffs were Gov. Hughes, C. M. Bruce, secretary of Arizona; Francis J. Ileney, ex-Attorney General of the territory, and United States Marshal W. J. Meade. The suit was based upon an editorial printed two years ago which severely scored the plaintiffs. Fifty Cincinnati women with brooms swept Colerain avenue from Virginia avenue to the corporation line Wednesday. The residents had been complaining about the neglected condition of the avenue without nnj' evident result, so the women took a hand themselves. Armed with all sorts of implements, house brooms predominating,, they went at the job with a will. It' was a long and hard task, but by sundown the roadway presented an unwonteMly clean aspect. Hainy Lake City, Minn., is intensely excited over a daring and successful robbery of the bank late Friday evening by two masked men, who, after a desperate struggle with the cashier, in which he was finally beaten into insensibility, secured $'5.0,000 and escaped through a crowd of bewildered citizens who had been attracted to the bank by the struggle and pistol shots. Several posses have taken up the search, and there is some hope of overtaking the desperate robbers. The Creek Supreme Court has decided that the recent South McAlester, I. T.. session of the council, being called for the specific purpose of adjusting the rolls, had no power to pass an act mispeiidiug the chief, treasurer and auditor, and that these officers are still in otlice. The decision of the Supreme Court being that payment can be no longer tied up, Treas

urer Grayson expects to begtn payment at once. There will be about 13,500 enrolled citizens, and the per capita will be about $14. For many months new Chinese arrivals at Cincinnati have been swindled out of all their money by their own countrymen. The scheme of the sharpers is to strike up an acquaintance with the new arrival and tell him any kind of a story to get his money. So numerous have been complaints at the legation at Washington that Dr. J. C. Thorns went to make an investigation. It is claimed that as much as $40,000 has been secured by two or three Chinamen of the city from their unsuspecting countrymen within the last two years. At South Bend, Ind., Jonathan Creed, an old citizen and one of the most prominent attorneys, was shot several times Friday morning by Daniel L. Mease, proprietor of a cider mill. The wound's are not believed to be serious. The men had business relations, and were about to discuss matters, when Mease covered Creed and began firing from a distance of a few feet. After the revolver was emptied Creed ran. Mease then picked up a bar of iron and would probably have murdered Creed had not the latter been more fleet of foot. Mease will be arrested as soon as found. For a time Thursday night it looked as though a lynching would be had in St. Louis. "Lynch him!'1 "Brain the villain!" "String him up to a lamppost!"' and other equally threatening shouts arose from all sides of a crowd gathered around a Salvation army detachment. An iceman named Kerns tried to drive his wagon over the Salvationists while they were on their knees in prayer, and his conduct was resented by the crowd. Kerns was arrested. Just before the iceman hove in sight the steward of the Nicholson House had ordered the porter to turn the hose on the men and women and drive them away. A smart young man who plays practical jokes with little regard for the safety of human life was abroad in the alleys near the Paris laundry, Chicago, early Wednesday morning, and with a white mask over his face, his form ecslirouded iu a white sheet, lie assumed a jriiost-like walk and delighted in frightening the young women employed on the night shift of the laundry. So realistically supernatural were his antics that three girls were thrown into hysterics and became unconscious. Falling like logs en the floor, the girls first screamed with terror, then w.'ithed in paroxysms of hysteria, and til ally when exhausted, succumbed to unconsciousness. Physicians who were summoned by a policeman who discovered the serious work of the stalking sheeted youth worked three hours to restore consciousness. It was not until some time after the frightened girls had been removed to their homes that they recovered their faculties and nervous equilibrium. Developments of a most sensational character in the investigation of the fraudulent Chicago payrolls may be expected within a short time. Former city employes are falling over one another in their eagerness to tell what they know of the peculiar methods used in manipulating the payrolls. A. J. Kowalski, ex-superiu-tendeut of the water pipe extension bureau, has made a statement to Commissioner of Public Works Kent and Chief of Police Badenoch, telling how the payrolls were loaded with the names of. ward heelers sent to him by his superior officers. His testimony, for such in effect his statement is, indicates that men who stood very high knew that men who never did a day's work for the city were on the payrolls as laborers and drew pay as such, while their time was taken up in political work. The fact that Kowalski has told all he knows is most carefully concealed by the officials making the investigation, but it is a fact, nevertheless.

SOUTHERN. Physicians report Gov. Atkinson, of Georgia, is holding his own, and are hopeful of his recovery. Lightning struck the Orphans' Home building at Galveston, Tex., killing Fred Seifen, a young man employed on the building. At Houston, u relief train was made up at 1:30 a. in. Thursday to go to Eureka, Texas, where the north-bound Missouri, Kansas and Texas passenger train was in the ditch, five coaches being overturned. Near Mount Gilead, Montgomery County, N. C, two brothers, Andrew and Mann Hhodes, quarreled about some family matters. Sarah Rhodes, their mother, seized and held Andrew while Maun, with a knife, ripped and cut him open, killing him. Sarah and Mann are both in jail. There is talk among the negroes of lynching the mother and son. Circuit Judge M. C. Sautley, of Lancaster, Ky., proposes to try a novel suit before a novel jury. It is an action for breach of promise brought by W. C. Stivers, a Lancaster widower, against Miss Katherine A Vest, a young school teacher, and Judge Saufley says that the jury before which it shall go must be composed of women. Under the new constitution they are eligible for jury service. The case will be interesting in other respects, for Stivers threatens to have Miss West's letters read in court, and her friends say that if he does there will be trouble. Miss West has engaged W. O. Bradley, the Republican nominee for Governor, to defend her iu the suit. FOREIGN. Mr. Gladstone has practically withdrawn his support from Lord Hosebery's cabinet by retiring from the pairing agreement with Right Honorable Charles P. Villiers. M. I., because he wishes to be "regarded as having an open mind on the Welsh church disestablishment bill." According to the Hungarian crop report, cereals have suffered from the rust. It :! estimated that the yield of wheat will amount to 37,000,000 meter centner. The yield of rye is estimated at H.0O0.000, barley at 11,000,000 and oats at 8,000,000 meter centner. Rape seed is being harvested; the yield is light. In January, February and March, 180-1, the total British exports of tin plate was S0..SS1 tons, valued at 1,009,329, of which 4S,(10 tons were exported to the United States. During the tame period iu 1895 the total export was 93,07- tons, valued at 1 ,OI)7,O.V. of which (,570 tons were sent to the United States. The boiler of one of the steam launches of the United States cruiser Columbia exploded at the Kiel parade Friday. The cylinder head was blown off and carried overlmard with it the smokestack and other portions of the launch. Four persons were iujured by the explosion and were taken to the naval hospital. Iord Rosebery tendered his resignation to the queen Saturday evening. He advised the queen to send for Ixrd Salis-

bury, the former Tory premier. By a technical ruse almost impossible to explain to American readers, because of the totally different procedure in parliament as compared with our Congress, the new ministry will avoid declaring itself before parliament and may force dissolution and a general election within the next three weeks. The imperial yacht Hohenzollern, with Emperor William and the princes on board, entered the western water gate of the Baltic and North Sea canal at 3:45 Thursday morning in order to formally open it. The gate was magnificently decorated and the Hohenzollern passed through amid ringing cheers from the military associations, students" delegations and masses of the populace, the bands playing the national anthem, and accompanying the music were the voices of the crowds assembled, who joined heartily iu the chorus. His majesty stood on the deck of his yacht and bowed his thanks with visible emotion. At 4 o'clock the Hohenzollern severed the threads stretched across the 1 and commenced the passage of the new waterway. The defeat of the Government in the British House of Commons Friday evening has occasioned a serious crisis, and niay result in the dissolution of parliament It was quite unexpected. The motion was that the war secretary's salary should be reduced by 100 because he declined to state the quantity of reserves and ammunition at the command of the War Department in case of emergency. The announcement of the vote was received with great applause by the opposition, and the war secretary instantly wrote out his resignation, which he forwarded to the prime minister to present to the queen. An informal cabinet meeting was hurriedly summoned by Lord Rosebery, but no decision was arrived at as to whether the Government should dissolve or ignore the defeat as being the result of a snap vote.

LITTLE BLACK SPIDER DCWNS JERSEY'S FAMOUS PEST. Short Shrift for Louisiana Firebugs Child's Wounded Vanity Leads to Suicide Life Imprisonment for a Murderer-City Treasurer Short. Jersey Musquito Dethroned. The Jersey mosquito has been dethroned by a species of black spider which is now running rampant in that State, and whose victims during the last fortnight are numbered by the score. In three instances its depreciations have been attended with serious results. Lawyer G. F. Fort, of Camden, while lying on his bed. felt a tingling pain in the foot, and hooking down saw a huge spider. Within a few hours his entire leg had swollen to an enormous size and it was only after confinement for a week that he was able to leave his house. A similar case was that of C. II. Fol well, of the same city, who was bitten on the temple. Harry Linn, of Williamston. was bitten on the hand, an.' the pain became so intense that he was thrown into nervt.us prostration, from which he has not yet recovered. Lynched a Firebug. Gretna, a small town just across th river from New Orleans, was the scene of a mysterious lynching Sunday night. The victim was John Frye, 22 years of age. Frye belonged to a gang of firebugs. In the gang were Frank Strahl, a nephew of the sheriff; James Whiteside, a nephew of the chief of police, and Gustave Raphael. The gang was caught setting fire to a. disorderly house occupied by negroes. They defied the police and did their work right under the eyes of two policemen. Later Raphael, Strahl and Whitesides were arrested and lodged in jail. Frye was captured some hours afrrward, and while being taken to jail his captors were overpowered and their prisoner taken from them. That was the last seen of Frye until his dead body was 'ound. Cioes for Iife. At Chicago, Joseph Weiman was sentenced to imprisonment for life in the Joliet penitentiary by Judge Neely for the murder of Genevieve Minnie Dinger. A motion for a new trial was denied and the punishment prescribed by the jury was imposed. Joseph Weiman shot Genevieve Dinger at Mrs. Anna Ziph's house. 4S57 Paulina street, Feb. 20 last, in a quarrel over a photograph. The two had been lovers and following the shooting of the girl her murderer tried to commit suicide. Weiman is a tailor bv trade and 25 yesrs old. S-uicide for a Shirt Waist. Disappointed because her sister had not bought her a shirt waist, 14-year-old Katie McCoy committed suicide at Philadelphia by hanging. The child lived with her sister, Mrs. Mary Raker, who had promised to her the coveted garment on Saturday, but failed to keep her word. Katie was much chagrined when she learned of her disappointment and Sunday night she quietly crept upstairs and. attaching a clothesline to her neck, hanged herself. Short 6JMOO. City Treasurer Stapf, of South St. Paul, has been arrested for a shortage in his accounts amounting to $9.4O0, the money having been used ly him in his private business.

Mr. Libby was one of the foremost of Chicago packers and the first to introduce the process of canning meat, which has since been put into ust by all the packing companies of the city. Three Americans, LjuIs Demond, James Crismore Hnd Hal Jelfry, left Escalon. Mexico, for the Sierra Madre Mountains in search of the famous lost mine, La Fuente, which, according to tradition, contains a vast amount of ore of fabulous richness. The mine was abandoned by the Spaniards on account of the Indians over a century ago, and although many attempts have been made to rediscover it, none has been successful. Farmers of Frontier and Perkins Counties held a meeting at Curtis. Neb., and denounced the stories of destitution that have been sent Fast concerning them. Lightning killed James Yoehaska, aged 20, at Montgomery, Minn., and a 3-year-old girl named Martin at Glendive, Mont. The girl's mother and two children were injured.

EOSEBERY GOES OUT.

ENGLISH PREMIER TENDERS HIS RESIGNATION. Lord SalUbury,thc Former Tory Leader, Celled Iii-Irifth Leader Arc Profoundly Distrusted with the I'rt-aent Turn of Affairs at London. Crisis in Great ltrituin. Lord Rosebery tendered his resignation to the queen during his recent visit to Windsor. He advised the queen to send for Lord Sali: bury. The former tory premier went down to Windsor and accepted the task of forming a government in the present parliament. Ird Rosebery and Sir William Hareourt announced the resignation of the liberal ministry in their respective Louies Monday afternoon. Ry a technical ruse, almost impossible to explain to American readers because of the totally different procedure in parliament as compared with the American Congress, the ministry will avoid declaring itself before the present parliament and force a dissolution and general election within the next three weeks. If this is successful the real purposes of the resignation of the liberal minis: ry will be defeated. This was to compel the tories to submit a policy to parliament before going to The country. Whethei or not the liberals can checkmate this programme remains to be seen. If they still have a majority they can issihly do so. Certainly the next few weeks will make an ejoeh in the parliamentary history of Great ltritain, since Lord Rosebery cannot now withdraw his resignation. The Irish leaders are urging their liberal allies to stand firm in demanding a declaration in parliament of the tory program. The truth is, however, that they are profoundly disgusted with the situati.n. Ifosebcrj'si Ilrief Term as Premier. Fail Rosebery was offered the office of prime minister by the queen on March 3, 1S91. Mr. Gladstone having offered his resignation on account of his failing eyesight Iiord Rosebery had occupied the position of foreign secretary in Mr. lad6tones cabinet and had been prominently considered for ten years past as the probable successor of Mr. Gladstone in the leadership of the liberal party when the time for the retirement of that gentleman should come. Alout the only objection urged against the appointment as premier was that the leader of the party should be a member of the house of commons and that the party cannot be managed from the house of lords. Lord Rosebery, upon assuming the premiership, took the plaee of first lord of the treasury in the cabinet and called the Farl of Kimlerley to succeed himself as foreign secretary. The leadership in the house of commons was intrusted to Sir William Yern.in Harcmrt, who retained his place in the cabinet as chancellor of the exchequer. The retirement of Mr. Gladstone was considered a severe strain uion the government, and many persons looked for the defeat of the liberals and the resignation of the cabinet at that time. RESULTS IN TWO DEATHS. Accident on the Wlialclinck Christopher Columbus. The result of the accident on the whaleback steamer Christopher Columbus on a voyage from Milwaukee to Chicago Saturday night was the death of two men. fatal injury to another, three seriously scalded and seven slightly burned. Tin' accident was caused by the bursting of a steam pipe. It was the homeward run of the whaleback in its opening summer excursion to Milwaukee. About 3ÖO souls were aboard. Flying flags, with music :md dancing, was the order of the evening. The accident on the Christopher Columbus, according to the engineering authorities, is one of the unaccountable things that occasionally occur in steam plants. A cast-iron pipe eight inches in diameter and three-quarters of an inch thick suddenly cracked around its entire circumference under a steam pre.- sure of less than 105 pounds, after having previously stooj a test pressure of 255 pounds to the inch. The stories of the accident being caused by straining in a race with the Virginia arc denied by every officer of the Columbus. The circumstances, as related by the boat's oliiccrs, were as follows: The cylinders of the engine were entirely new. and it would be destructive and dangerous to run them at high speM until the parts wore down. Two representatives of the engine builders were on board and constantly reminded the engineers not to use speed. Chief Engineer Webster says the speed was ninety revolutions, whereas the Ixtat has made 130 a minute, and steam pressuie was 100 iunds to the square inch, while the government allows 170. Captain Robert Smith says that he had reckoned the speed just Ik-fere the explosion and it was about sixteen miles an hour. The whaleback has made twentyone miles an hour. As further evidence of the fact that t'.erv was no race the statement is made that the Virginia had passe! the whah-back and was two mile ahead. Nwy I'arRgraphA. Rich gold fiel.
