AN INDIANA TRAGEDY.

Seymour, Ind., Nov. 27.—Clinton Jordan lute Saturday night shot and killed Josiah Foster, his father-in-law, Mrs. Foster and tlieir daughter, Miss Cora Foster. He then stabbed his wife, who was trying to defend her parents, and finally shot and killed himself. Four years ago Clinton Jordan, 21 years old, married a daughter of Josiah Foster, with whom lie lias never lived happily. Last week they separated and she returned to the home of her father. Saturday night Jordan met his father-in-lav/ and accompanied him home, contrary to tlie wishes of the latter, who feared trouble. Jordan promised to behave, hut soon after his arrival at Foster’s home lie began a quarrel. Foster then ordered him out of the house, when Jordan fired at the old man, but missed him, the hall striking Miss Cora Foster aged 17, in the head, killing her instantly. His second shot hit Foster in tlie head and he fell, hut he soon rose and run about half a mile to the home of another son-in-law, William Powell, where he fell and lingered until late in the afternoon, when he died. Jordan then turned his revolver toward Mrs. Foster, his mother-in-law, shooting her in t he neck, tlie ball ranging downward and causing a wound from which she died. Jordan's wife attempted to defend her mother, and lie stabbed her repeatedly in tlie breast, hands and face, and ended by shooting

her through the head.

Jordan then opened his vest, and placing the revolver against his breast sent u hall through his heart. He dropped dead, falling across the dead body of his wife. The pistol was placed so close to his breast that Jordan’s clothing caught tire and was literally burned off him, tlie skin dropping from his body when it was lifted. Elgin, 111., Nov. 28.—Frederick Buck, a son of Isaac N.

As his victim sank he put on his overcoat and hat and composedly walked to the police station, where he deliberately laid his revolver upon the desk and calmly declared: "1 have shot my wife. Lock me up.” Beyond a statement that liis wife had been leading a fast life and that he had determined to put a stop to it tlie self-apprehended prisoner has since then refused to discuss his crime. 1 Mrs. Buck was a sister of Theodore F. Swan, the proprietor of the largest mercantile house in Elgin. She was j the divorced wife of Arthur Hawkins, | a Minnesota jeweler, a woman of many | fascinations and fond of gayety. The allegations of her husband are not known to have been well founded.

To tl»« SurprUtt of All Ives Is llenten in

the Itilllurd Contest.

Chicago, Nov. 28.—At 1:30 o'clock Sunday morning, after five and a half hours of play, the great five-night balk- | line billiard match of 4,000 points for $5,000 and the gate receipts between Jake Sehaefer and Frank Ives eume to an end, Schafer winning by the score of 4,000 to 3,945. The score for the final night was: Schaefer, 1,305; Ives, 745, (7rand averages were over 20 for each, slowness of the final play pulling down the figures consiederably. When Saturday night's play opened Schaefer was 505 points behind his opponent, but by magnificent uphill work he cut down Ives* lead until he was within 100 of the young champion's total. Then there was only fifty difference ami later the wizzard passed to a lead of over fifty and finally ran out. The summary is

as follows:

Tr«*a»urer Morgan Reports on the Condition of the Treasury. Washington. Nov. 28 — United Staten Treasurer D. N. Morgan has submitted to Secretary Carlisle his annual repor* on the operations and condition of the treasury. It shows that the net ordinary revenues for the fiscal year 1893 were 1385,819,628, an in crease of 130,881.844 over those of the year before. The net ordinary expenditures wer ££3,447,554. an increase of 128.454.623. There was, therefore, a decrease of 17,772,779 in the surplus revenues, reducing them to ?2.341.674. Including the public debt the total receipts wer- 1732,871,214 and the total expenditures

1773 007,998.

The public funds amounted on June 30, 1892, ! to 8786.351.895, and on June 30, 18^. to 1746, 588,655. After setting apart those sums of ; gold, silver and United States notes which were held for the redemption of certificates of deposit and treasury notes there was left a reserve, or general fund, of 1187,012,740 in 1892 and 1168.!67.391 in 1^91 These amounts, however, included certain sums of certificates of deposit, bonds and coupons which were unavailable for any other purpose than the settle- | meat of the treasurer’s account, and which, if canceled, would have left an actual available working balance of 4165,946,886 and 4159,295.69 on ; the two notes, respectively. By September 30 the balance had been dimin- ' ishecl to 4149,250,268, owing to a deficiency in tno revenues. In seven months, beginning with last December, upward of 181.000,000 was drawn out of the treasury in redemption of notes, and the gold reserve was reduced during the same period by 429,000,00J. During the next three months, with light redemptions and j a deficiency of 419,000.000 in the revenue, the treasury lost 415,000.010 of gold, but the reserve fell off only 12,000,000. The amount of gold during the fiscal year was the largest ever taken out of the country or brought into it in a like period, being upward of 4108,000,000, and that 3102,010,000 of it was drawn out of the treasury by the presentation I of leval-tender notes. Most of the gold exported in former years was supplied by the treasury in exchange for gold certificates, and the report says it is the first tine that any considerable sums have been presented for the

metal

With the exception of an increase of 445.500,000 in the amount of treasury notes, issued in the purchase of silver bullion, and a decrease of 380.000,000 in the combined volume of gold certificates and currency certificates, there has been, the rei>ort says, no important change in the public debt. According to the revised estimate the total stock of money of all kinds in the country on June 30 was 12.323,5*7,977. or nearly 451.000,00) less than at the same time last year This contraction took place notwithstanding the addition of 445,000.0)0 to the stock of silver and an increase of 46,000,J00 in the outstanding bank notes, and was caused by the exports of gold In July, however, there began a heavy return movement of the metal, supported by a rapid expansion of hank note circulation. By the end of September the stock of gold was restored to what it was when the exports began. The total increase of | the effective stock of money in the three months was no lower than 495,000,- j 000, bringing it up to a figure much above the ; highest ever reached before. The treasurer remarks that this sudden contraction and ex- j pansion within the space of eleven months at ! fords a striking illustration of the degree of j flexibility possessed by the cuirency. The revised figures for the amount of money I in circulation, that is outside the treasury on j June 3), place it at 41,596,846.829. or about 16.- | 000,000 less than it was a year before During

Missoula, Mont., Nov. 28.—News comes from Kendrick, la., to the effect | that the Carlin party has been found , more dead than alive, with Colgate, the ! cook, whose pitiful abandonment was | necessitated in order that the j remainder might he saved. A courier : arrived at Kendrick, having ridden j more than 100 miles, bearing the announcement that the party, except j Colgate, had been found by Lieut. El- , liott’s relief corps on the middle fork j of the Clearwater, 130 miles from habi- | tation. They were famished, with- i out horses or provisions, bare- | footed, only tho soles of tlieir shoes remaining and scant of clothing. | Hemmed in by impenetrable snow j banks, and after several ineffectual at- ' tempts to escape, the party became re- I signed to its fate, trusting to Providence ! for relief. Another thirty-six hours would have found them frozen. Lieut Elliot found tlie men in a condition verging on insanity. He administered what immediate relief was at his command. Colgate, lie learned, j was still behind, having fallen in his j inability to keep up with the party, i This necessitated Elliot’s sending back for additional relief to j search for Colgate, though it is \ believed it is too late and the j man will not be found alive.
