The Latest News as Flashed Over the Wires from All Farts of the World—Regarding Politics, Religion, Casualties, Commerce, and Industry. KEPT HER WORD. A Pennsylvania Woman Fatally Shoots Iler Husband. James E. Fields was shot and killed by his wife at Butler, Pa. Fields became enraged because his wife insisted on reading instead of retiring at midnight, and, arising, beat her face to a jelly. At 4 o’clock he again arose anil attempted to beat her, when she took a revolver from the cabinet and warned him if he struck her she would shoot. He struck her, and she fired. She turned to her little daughter and said: “I’ve shot your father in self-defense. Shall I kill myself?’’ The dying husband called out: “No! You served me right; you fired in self-defense.” He made a deposition to this effect, and died two hours both were members of prominent families. The woman appealed at the Coioner's inquest with her face bruised almost beyond recognit ion. CAPTURED THE LIMA FIELD. The Standard Oil Company Ccmpletes Its Bi£ Deal in Ohio. The Standard Oil Company has closed the deal whereby it becomes the possessor of a majority of the stock of the Ohio Oil Company. This gives it control of th ■ Lima field. The Ohio Company is composed of an association of producers in this field. Its leases cover 15,000 acres, with a daily production of 5,000 barrels of oil. A considerable portion of the territory is yet undeveloped. The prices paid for the stock range from 50 to 75. cents. C. F. Lufkin conducted the business for the Standard Company , It has a large force of men engaged in enlarging the refinery grounds at Lima, Ohio, with the intention of making the solar works the greatest refinery in this country. POISONED HER PARENTS. A Young Girl at Marine City. Mich., Confessca to That Crime. James V illiams and wife, of Marino City, Mich., were recently taken suddenly ill with symptoms of poisoning. Matilda \\ illiams, a 14-year-old daughter of Mrs. "Williams by a former husband, admitted that she had put a tablespoonful of “Rough on Rats” in the tea of each. The girl had cast her fortunes with a cowboy combination and was taken home against her will. She saw no way to continue upon the highroad to fame save by the removal of her parents. Wheat Prospects. Detailed reports from all the wheat stations on the Manitoba railway and covering about half the wheat produced in Minnesota and Dakota have been received at St. Paul. At 190 stations good to excellent condition of the ground is reported, thirty consider it fair, while only ten rate it as not good. The percentage of crop planted is equal to or above last year, and the acreage will also exceed last season, only thirteen stations reporting any decrease, while 102 have increased acreage. The dry spell is broken. Secured Appointments. The President has made the following appointments: Robert P. Porter, of New York, to be Superintendent of Census; J. W. Cunningham, to be Assayer of the United States Assay Office at Boise City, Idaho; William H. Calkins, of Washington Territory, to be Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the Territory of Washington; John R. Donally, of Louisiana, to be Marshal of the United States for the Eastern District of Louisiana. Five Men Drowned. At the Alabama Midland crossing of the Chattahoochee River near Bainbridge, Ga., two boats, with seven and eight men, respectively, were crossing the river, when one of the boats commenced sinking, and one of the men jumped to the other boat and capsized both boats. Five men were drowned. They were hands working for G. A. Alexander, breaking rock for the Alabama Midland bridge. The river was dragged, but none of the bodies were recovered. A Negro Lynched in Louisiana. A New Iberia, La., special says that Pelletier Delahoussaye and his son Lewis were shot and seriously wounded by an unknown negro. The people of that section succeeded in capturing the negro and at once lynched him. News Notes. It is reported from Phillipsburg, Kansas, that John W. Lowe, agent in that city for the Equitable Mortgage Company of Kansas City, Mo., and other companies, has absconded, and is a defaulter to the extent of $25,003. While excavating at Duluth for the new Masonic Temple, a blast fired revealed a vein of copper ore of great richness. The deposit proved to be quite ex ensive ; and is considered a valuable find. The stock of merchandise and real estate of John McFadden, of Humboldt, Neb., has been seized by the Sheriff on a judgment held by L. E. Booker, of Pembina. The liabilities are between $15,000 and $20,000, with small assets. The Hon. George Haskell, the Rockford, 111., seed merchant, w’ho failed lately for SIOO,OOO, says the foundation of his money troubles was in the absconding of A. B. Cleveland, of New York, on June 22 last with $70,000. EASTERN OCCURRENCES. Ex-Congressman Simeon B. Chittenden died at his home in Brooklyn, N. Y. His age was 75 years. John P. Usher, who was Secretary of the Interior under President Lincoln, died at the University Hospital in Philadelphia, Pa. Mr. Usher went there from Florida, where he had a winter residence, about three weeks ago to undergo an operation for tffe removal of a tumor from his throat. Dr. Agnew successfully removed the growth, Imt the patient, notwithstanding the efforts to save his life. died. Mr. Usher was born in Madison County, New York, in 1816. For some years past he resided at Lawrence, Kansas, where he acted as counsel for the Missouri Pacific and Kansas Pacific railroad companies. Charles Hodges, a fire boss, and Evan Madden, a pump-runner, were passing through an abandoned working in Grand Tunnel mine, at Wilkesb.irre, Pa., when their lights ignited a largo amount of accumulated gas. and both men were blown to pieces. Hodges was 15 years of age. He left a wife and six children. Madden was 60 years old and a widower. During a festival in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, at Greensburg, Pa., a dispute arose about some change,

• and a riot ensued, in which knives, clubs, i etc., formed tLe prominent weapons. । During the disturbance Chief of Police ; Wolfendale had an ear almost bitten I off, besides sustaining other injuries, j and George Tuning, another po’ice- ; man, was stabbed twice in the back by I Geor.e L ghtfoot, who was the ringleader I of the gang. After some difficulty tbe > disturbance was quelled, and the participants took to their heels, but George Lightfoot, John Gant, and Emmett Strander, three of the rioters, after a chase of several hundred yards, were captured and taken to the lock-up. In default of $2,500 bail they were committed to jail. The Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers at Pittsburg, Pa., will ask that all the iron mills be closed for two months during the summer just as the glass factories are. The Bay State Brewery in South Boston has been transferred by its former owner, Henry Souther, to Messrs. Jones, ! Cook & Sinclair, the present lessees of I the property. The price paid is not made public, as the property is soon to be sold to the so-called English syndicate. WESTERN HAPPENINGS. The Minnesota House of Representatives has passed the Senate bill providing for the inspection on the hoof of all beef sold in Minnesota. It is much the same in its provisions as the bills before the Legislatures of a number of other Western States, being the practical prohibition of Chicago and Kansas City dressed meats. The southern stage, which arrived at Lamar, Colo., recently, brought news that Bill Thompson and his gang had left there. They occupied the town several days, and completely disarmed the inhabitants. Guns and pistols of every sort were taken possession of, and a large amount of cartridges thrown into a well. The object of the raid was to capture Dr. Brown and Editor Daniels, but in this they were not successful, as these gentlemen were not to be found. They took during their stay such articles as they needed from the stores, but no general pillage took place. They left, but promised to return for Brown and Daniels. Bill Thompson has an old grudge against the parties named, and swears he will kill them on sight. Bill Thompson is the leader of the gang of cutthroats who make their headquarters in the neutral strip. j Bement A Sons, Lansing, Mich., have I secured control of the original patents I for the longitudinal adjustment of the j teeth in spring teeth harrows. These | patents have been infringed upon for years by agricultural implement manufacturers, and the firm has already begun suits in the United States District Courts against Lawrence & Chapin and Chase, Henry & Co., of Kalamazoo, Mich., and ; G. B. Alin & Co., of Canandaigua, N. Y. | Suits will be begun against all other in- | fringers as speedily as possible, whether manufacturers, dealers, or users. This action is of decided importance to the farmers, as it is estimated that over 500,000 spring teeth harrows with the adjustable longitudinal attachments are in use, and the users may be compelled to pay royalty. Emil Holderle, a young plumber, attempted to kill his sweetheart, Ida Holtz, at St. Louis, Mo., but finally concentrated his effort on himself with great success. He was jealous of the girl, and, meeting her in front of her home, placed a pistol to her head and told her she must die then and there. She knocked the weapon aside and tied into the house. lie pursued her to her room, where there was a hard struggle, Holderle trying to shoot at every opportunity. Miss Holtz, with the strength of desperation, kept the muzzle of the gun j off her person, and at lengih broke away i and dashed down-stairs. Holderle then placed tbe pistol to his head and killed himself. Annie Lee, aged 16, committed suicide at Kansas City, Mo. A vein of pure rock salt was struck at a depth of 675 feet at Kingman, Kan. Cornelius Hayes, a waiter, is under arrest at Columbus, Ind., for fatally injuring Joseph Snepp, a wealthy farmer, with a beer mallet. The funeral of the late John Jackson, President of the St. Louis Elevator Company, who committed suicide recently, took place in St. Louis. It is now thought that the elevator company s loss will net exceed $50,000. Edward Lutz, a farmer near Canton, 0., fell into a kettle of boiling sap, and was fatally scalded. In a struggle with his son for a loaded gun, at their farm near Kearney, Neb., W. H. Pettitt, aged 72, was killed by the weapon becoming discharged. The young man, Washington by name, has been arrested on a charge of murder. Mrs. Pettitt also participated in the struggle. William H. Moore, of Illinois, and William C. Haseldine, of New Mexico, have been admitted to practice in the United States Supreme Court. Robert W. Ross, of Illinois, Recorder, and Virgil M. Hobbs, of Indiana, Chief of the Contest Division in the General Land Office, have resigned. SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. George Driggs, accused of attempting to assault a white woman,was hanged by a mob at Hempstead. Tex. James Miller’s livery stable at Louisville, Ky., was destroyed by fire. Miller ran into the stable to save his stock, but was overcome by smoke and perished. Felix Williams, a colored driver, who was asleep in the loft, was alsoburnedto death. The stable contained several horses and carriages and a large quantity of grain and hay. all of which were lost. Miller was well to do and leaves a large family. Williams was a young man of tweniy years. I The Governor of South Carolina, has g: anted a full and unconditional pnr- । don to William C. Will ams and Harrison Heyward, both colored, who were sentenced to be hanged at Columbia, for lynching Manse Waldrop, a white man. McCarthy & Baldwin were the lowest bidders for the superstructure of the j El Paso (T< x.) public building, their bid I being $126,000. POLITICAL PORRIDGE.

Postmasters have been appointed by tho President: Illinois—William R. Jewell, Danville; Thomas R. Weaver, Mattoon; Alexander Stone, Peoria. Indiana—Hiram J. Daniels, Anderson ; Henry H. Downing, Goodland. Ohio—William T. Fouts, McConuellsville; J. - A. Gibbs, Carey. i Michigan—Samuel Foster, Midland. lowa—Jonathan M. Axton, West Liberty; । Thomas N. Pace. Shenandoah. । Kansas—Fred Louis, Marion ; William March, I Baxter Springs ; David G. Bliss, Argentine; Eu- ' gene F. Goodrich, Lawrence. Missouri—Jacob Keiser, Clinton ; Peter Shuurf, i Joplin. Ex-Gov. Robinson of Massachusetts has declined his appointment on the Indian commission. The commissions of the following named Postmasters who were nominated by President Cleveland and confirmed ■ by the Senate Feb. 28, 1889, have been | signed by President Harrison: Miss MaryS. Thompkins, Williamston, Mich.; Leßoy L. Brinkley, Edenton, N. C.; and Miss Della M. Barrows, Hinsdale, N. H. THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. Assistant Secretary Bussey has rendered three pension decisions in which is involved tho important ques- j tion of when may and when may not a soldier be considered in the “line of duty." They are as follows: The first case is that of W. H. Brokenshaw, • who was injured nt Jackson, Mich., in 1865, by I throe fellow-soldiers jumping on him while he . was climbing into his bunk. Commissioner I Black rejected tho claim on the ground that tho injury was not received in the line of duty. Tho Assistant Secretary overrules this decision, I holding that the claimant was in his proper i place, ready to perform such duty ns he might be called upon to do, and the injury alleged ns tho ground of pension happpened to I him without any fault or neglect on his part. । Another ease is that of C. H. Sedgwick, late mid- ! shipman in the navy, who was injured by a kick 1 from a comrade whom he was “twitting and j teasing.” The assistant secretary sustains the | former decision rejecting the application on the ' ground that the claimant contributed directly to produce the cause of his injury, and was at the time engaged in a manner manifestly in violation of the rules of tbe service, The third case is that of Elizabeth Hull, widow of William Hull, a soldier who died in a military prison at Nashville, Tenn., of inflammation of tho pleura contracted in the prison. The soldier, it appears from tho evidence, was arrested and confined in the prison I for being absent from his company and regiment without permission. In this case Mr. Bussey says : “To entitle a widow to a pension, I tho wound, the injury, or the disease which i caused tho husband's death must have been connected, as a result, with the compliance by him with the requirements of military duty. Such connection between the fatal disease and the service did not exist in this case." Tho former decision is adhered to. The National Treasury Department has called for the resignations of a number of employes of the Secret Service Division. Among them there are understood to be one each from Chicago and several other Western points. The reason for the demand is that the appropriation for the maintenance of the service is about run out and the department does not desire to create a deficiency. There will be no appointments to the vacancies thus created until after July 1. MRS. Febiger, the wife of Admiral Febiger of the navy, was thrown from her carriage at Washington, D. C., and badly, perhaps fatally, injured. FRESH AND NEWSY. The property, rights and franchises of the Richmond and Allegheny Railroad were sold at auction at Richmond, Va., to Erwin Davis. Charles W. Cox and i J. A. Kennedy Todd for $5,000,(100. The property will be turned over to the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company and will form a part of that system. • The following-named I’ostoffice Inspectors on mail depredations have been removed: Romtis F. Stuart, Chicago; James E. Alexander, Atlanta; James H. Griffin, Atlanta. Lewis Lewberger, of Indiana, Postoffiee Inspector in the money-order service, has resigned. Secretary Windom has decided that the transfer by manufacturers of their plants, machinery, and work people from a foreign country to the United States with a view to permanent settlement would be a violation of the contract-labor law. so far as the workmen are concerned. In their review of trade for last week R. G. Dun A Co. said: There are distinct signs of improvement in business. Reports from interior points, almost without exception, indicate an elargeuient of trade. Rapid advance in sugar, coffee, cotton, butter, and oats are nearly balanced by the decline in wheat and corn, pork products, print cloths, leather and other articles, so that tho general average of prices is but a shade higher than a week ago. But further disbursements by the Treasury have increased the already abundant supply of money; the market for securities has improved and exports continue to increase. The most significant feature of the week’s commercial news is tho report) of furnaces iu blast April 1, which shows a weekly output of anthracite and bituminous iron only 675 tons less than March 1, and nearly 37,000 tons or 30 per cent, larger than a year ago. The significant tact is that with a production close to the largest over known prices scarcely yield at all. The sharp advance of 32 cents per 100 pounds in raw sugar, with the purchase of tho San Francisco refinery for the trust, accompanies a sudden rise of six cents in the trust stock. The boot and shoe trade is said to be large beyond precedent. Leather is a shade lower and hides are overj abundant. Raw cotton has risen a quarter. In | oil lower prices caused a decrease of $209,000 i in value for March and the market has been ; dull and weak. The market for raw xvool -is stronger in tone and an advance in price is expected. Copper and tin are still somewhat weaker, and the excessive supplies still suppress the coal market, which is worse than dull. The volume of business is unsatisfactory, and sales below schedule rates are reported. Without exception reports from the interior show' that money is abundant, though in a few instances the demand is improving. Fears of disturbance in connection with April settlements have passed. The reports of the increase in the spring w hea t acreage continues and sowing has progressed favorably, the season being about three weeks earlier than last year. The business failures numbered 239, as against a total of 222 the previous week. MARKET RETORTS. CHICAGO. .

A Famous Battie*Ground. On the banks of tho Tippecanoe, a small stream which enters tho Wabash liivor in Indiana, was fought the terrific buttle of Tippecanoe. In this great struggle of frontier times tho allied western Indians, under the chieftainship of Elskwatawa, the “Prophet,’’ were ! defeated in November, 1811, by tho Americans under the command of Gen. Wm. 11. 1 Harrison, It was a desperate, hard fought battle, । and much depended upon the result. i Had the Indians been successful all bar- , riers of delense for the early settlers would have been overthrown, and the deadly tomahawk would have been active in tho rapid extermination of tho remaining pioneers. । On the other hand, the lortunato termination of tho contest put an end to further attempts at open warfare by tho Indians. The rich territory, so long overrun by ; hostile savages, was thrown open for settlej ment, which rapidly occurred as soon as ! tho news of the great victory became widei spread. Naturally great praise was rendered to the success and intrepid bravery of Gen. Harrison, and he was honored in many wavs. He afterward served as Commander of the Army of the Northwest, and when Indiana was admitted to statehood lie was selected to represent the. State in the United States Senate. In 1840 he was elected President, , and his unfortunate demise occurred shoitly alter being inaugurated. I The forty-second anniversary of the I Battle of Tippecanoe found the gallant grandson of “Old Tip” leading his forces to a gfeat political victory, which resulted in I tho ^election of Gen. Ben Harrison as PresI ideni of the United States. J Thu Harrisons have been a hardy race of men. spiting from old log-cabin stock, I which ua sufficient guarantee of ilsgjnu- । ineness wherever found. Reafizing tho 1 truth of tr*is, great effort has been made to I lediscovor some of the secrets contained 1 in tho old log-cabin stock of useful articles. and. as the result, the famous Old Log , Cabin Sarsaparilla, universally regarded as I the best Spring tonic and blood cleanser, 1 has been found. Not satisfied with tho I world-wide esteem which is held for War- . ner’s Sato Cure, the only cure lor kidney s diseases, the proprietor is willing to do ail that is possible to establish Warner’s Log Cabin Sarsaparilla as foremost among household articles 011 account of its purity and effectiveness. After all. each individual has, at all times, the great battle of life or death to light, and for security attention must necessarily bo given to the best weapons which science can offer humanity in tho great contest.

A T.irh Made Miserable i By dyspepsia is scarcely worth the living. A : capricious appetite, heartburn, puzzling nervous symptoms, increased action of tho heart after eating, sinkitzg in the abdomen between meals, j and flatulence after, arc among the successive indicia of this harassing complaint. Two things only are needful for its removal. A resort to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and persistence in its use. Those remedial measures being adopted, a cure is certain. Taken immediately before or after meals, this great stomachic promotes seeretion of the uastric juice, the natural solvent of the food. The nervous and bilious symptoms consequent upon chronic indigestion disappear, as the complaint gradually yields to the corrective and invigorating influence of the Bitters. ; Appetite returns, sleep becomes more refreshing, ami a.i u sequence, the body is eflici ntly nourished, muscular power increases, and the mind glows sauguine. Use the Bitters for chills and fever turd iheumatism. In Wisconsin twenty-one years of faithful work entitles a public school teacher to a pension. That beats MasI sachusetts, where a man must worry along for half a century in the harness ; before they think he is entitled to retire.
