Hanson and Her Brother-in-Law Wound

ed, as Supposed, by a Visitor. A MTSTEBious shooting affray occurred mt Brunswick, seven miles south of Mora, Minn., at the house of Mrs. A. C. Hanson, in which Mrs. Hanson and a brother-ia-law, Jacob Hanson, were severely grounded, the woman fatally. The shooting is claimed to have been done by a ma named William Natting, who is undo? arrest. He was a friend of the family, and making a Tisit when the shooting Mcurred. He is accused of the attempted Htttrder by a son and daughter of Mrs. Hanson, who were in the house when the deed was committed. It is thought by some that the shooting was done by some one of the family while Ratting was asleep, and in order to clear themselves accused him of the deed.

DIDN'T CATCH TASCOTT. Chicago Detectives on a Wild-Goose Chase in Manitoba. Five Chicago detectives went to Winnipeg, Manitoba, a few days ao to take Taseott back with them. They went in sesponse to & telegram from a Whitemouth tie contractor who suspected one of his workmen of being the murderer of Mill ionaire Snell. The man's handwriting and general description tallied with that of Taseott. He disappeared before the detectives could see him. and probablv is a tramp. Two of the officars returned to Chicago, the others went to San Francisco.

For Politicians. Hx-Pkesidknt Cleveland has been elected an honorary member of the New Trk Chamber of Commerce, also of the St. Nicholas Society of that city.

The mudd e will have to be settled by tbe Supreme Court. Mr. Wilson yet act as chief executive, though proceedings have been commenced to unseat him by both Goff and Carr. The Minnesota House 59 to 30 has refused to submit to a vote of the people a prohibition amendment.

The decorat, ons-of the ballroom were very elaborate and rich. The Presidential party entered the hall v. hen tl:e brilliant scene was at its heignt. Looking down from the galleries It seemed as if every inch of space in tbe diamond-tiled floor was Dlled with people. A sea of upturned laces watched tneir entrance and accompanied with longing looks the disappearance of the procession up tde stairway The President looked

pale and a trifle careworn, and gave a sigh of pleasant relief when the doors of his receptionroom were thrown open and the little party had a few minutes to themselves whtle they were divested of their wraps by the maids in attendance. President Harrison Btood about thft canter of the room. His manner was decidedly cor.lial. He repeated, quietly but ciearly,the name of each Ser&on introduced with NI am glad to f eo y on," Era. Harrison took no part in the reception. She Btood an intent aud almost breathless watcher of the passing line. The Presidential party, Mrs. Harrison encorted by x-te&tor Boutwell, made a circuit of the vas" hall, the President bowing and smiling in ever direct ion, and then returned to the reoeption-rom.

At fully half the interior points which report there is noticed a fairly good trade or some improvement. Pittbburgh observes an fxivance of 25 cents 5n some hinds of pig iron and a tetter inquiry for manufactured in many forma. Greater strength is also observed at Cleveland.
