A la mcntnblo tragedy occurred yestcrdiv morning near Tamaroa, ton miles cast ol here, In tlio killing o'. John W. Corgan an old and prominent cltltcn ot tin. county, by his ton-ln-law, Harry Miller. Miller has been living on a farm three miles cast ot Tnmaroa, wlilch ho rented from Curg.tu. Abput three months since they had a difficulty, which was com promised In tho courts hero by Corgan giving a penco bond, and allowing Miller to remain upon tho farm until tho expiration ot ids lease, October 1. Slnco that time tho parties have not been friendly, and Miller moved off the place last Monday. Ou Tuesday he went back to get his share of an oat crop that had been grown on the farm, taking four wagons, with necessary hands. Ilclow Is gUcna synopsis of the ctldcnce of W. H, Jones, nn eyo -witness, before the coroner's jury at Tamaroa yesterday morning; "My name Is W. B. Jones ; ngc, thirty six years t live three miles east of Tama roa. Miller catno to my house this morn In", and asked mo to ro nnd help him haul Ids r-linrc of the oat crop off Cor gan's farm. I went nnd took a hand with me. Thero were four wagons with two men to each wagon. When wo arrived at tho field two of the party got out and let the fence down, and Miller started to tlrlvo In. I hallooed to him that he had better tell Corgnu ho had come to divide the oats. Just then ho looked up and said i 'l'ondor they come, now all ot them with pitchforks I' Ily f lis time Corgan had got within about e hun dred yards of Miller, and ssldi 'Get out of here, yon thlof. Yon conio hero to steal again. You get out, or I'll putyou out.' Miller had, as yet, a nld nothing to Corgan, who had arrived at the wagon by this time. Miller said: 'I nm-now ready to dlvldo those oats.' Corgan saldt 'I am not ready to dhldo them, and won't divide them.' At this tlmo he was near tho horses' heads, nnd came, around to the sltlo of tho wagon and made at Miller with tho fork, trying to get In tho wagon, which he finally did. About this tlmo John Corgan, Jr., aged about eighteen years, came np, and made at Miller with n fork. Corgan, Br., was still In the wagon, and striking at Miller with a pitchfork, and Miller was warding off the blows with one hand nnd holding his team with tho other, and fi nally hit Corgan, knocking him out ot the wagon. Corgan roso and crabbed tho fork and started for him, trying to stick him with the fork. Miller then drew Ids pistol nnd shot. Mr. Corgan fell In his son's arms and ex pired in a few minutes. Miller turned to Mr. Corgan's sons, two ot whom were present, and said; 'Hoys, you sec what I have had to do.' He then turned his learn and droio out of tho field and to town, accompanied by his brother, Wm. Miller. The shooting occurred on the farm known as tho l'jle place, three miles cast ol Toinaroa." Tin: 8Tonv conr.ononATKii. Tbcabotc evidence was corroborated In all the main facts by most ot the wit nesses. The pistol used was a small 32 caliber, rusty concern, that did not look like It would more than make a noise. The ball entered tho body between the first and second ribs of the right side, four inches from tho center of the ster num, Ate Inchos above tho right nipple and two Inches below the collar bone, passed in an oblique direction to tiin Jclt side, cutting either tlio main artery oi going through the heart. Dr. Ward probed the wound, but could not find tho ball. The hemorrhage was Internal, escaping through the mouth. Corgan lived In Tamaroa, and ,ltli his two sons, John, Jr., and Frank, was out cn the farm harvesting hay. He was a large, .line-looking man, undone who was cry posltlie In all his opinions, n M'ry strong friend, but had no uso foi his enemies. Ho had been a resident ol this county for many years, ami was well knovwi and respected. After the shooting Miller came to Tamaroa and gate himself up to 'Squire Wllloujjhby, who ( timed Idra over to Constable Craln, and ho was brought here ami placed In jail. Ho Is a man ot ordinary nppvarauco and Intelligence, comes of a highly respected family, aged twenty-four years, and has been narricd to Mr. Corgan's daughter fo three years, He appears to feel very badly nbout tho mattet and regrets It cry much. lie siys that It was a matter of llfo and dealt with him. Coroner Farmer selected n jury yesterday afternoon, and prnecolcd to lmestlgatc the matter. There were eleven witnesses to the trasscdy, two ol whom were brothers to Miller, n id two sons of tho deceased. At the Unit ol his death Mr. Corgan was engaged la mer chandizing In Tamaroa.

Three IteporU Mada by tht Senate Com. mlttee The Hatter 1VI11 I'robsbly b Dropped. Wasiiinotox, July lft. Three reports from the Senate Commltteo on Frlvllegel and Eloetlons upon the I'ayno mso wtrt submitted yesterday. The report signed by Senators Tuch, Ssnlsbury, Vanco and Eustls, the Demo cratic members of the committee, states that the committee's first act was to com ply fully with tho first request ot the Ohio House ot ltopresontallvcs to mako an ex amination of the testimony taken by tbo select committee nt Colnmbus. Upon this testimony Mr. Hoar mado a report to the committee that alter a careful reading no evidence, opinion or statement whatever was found personally inculpating Mr. Payno In say way with the corrupt use of money lit connection with his election. Neither did such examination show that enough had been found to Justify the ehargo that tbo eloctlon had been procured by the corrupt uso of money and no new cvldenco bad since been submitted. This report asks that the committee bo dis charged from farther consideration t ' the subject and that It be Indefinitely post poned. Senators Teller, Evarts and .Logan unite In a rcpoit which states that the only con stitutional warrant for an Investigation in a case, like that presented Is In the elansa making each House ot Coneress the Judico or tne Qualifications or its own members. and the clause conferring tho right of ex pulsion. The signers ot tho report do not find that a caw has been presented that would affect Mr. Payne with such turpltnde as would warrant his expulsion from the Senate. They therefore turn their attention to tho validity of his election to tho Senate and hold that the evidence In such a case must show that tho fraud which It Is alleged was committed embraced enough of the voting electors to have chantod the result The testimony presented by the Ohio House of Hepresentatlics shows that a number ot members of Hie General Assembly havo been brought into Inculpation and have the weight ot cvldenco against them. As to four members Haker, Hunt, Schultz and Zleglcr It is found by the signets of the report that tho testimony developed noth ing ot an Inculpating character as to the two members, Kahle and Hal!; the report finds that they were not diverted from their support of Mr. Fcndleton to that of Mr. Payne. Ot the two Senators and two Ilep rcsentatlres named in the majority report ot the select committee, Mooney and Itocho ot the Houso and White and Itamey ot tho Senate, the signers ot the report refer with out observation ot their own to the major ity and minority leporU ot the Ohio com mittee. They do not find that the select committee reconimeudcd any action by the Legislature looking to demand further In vestigation and they express the opinion that there was no evidence presented to tho United States Senate which purports to prove mat rraua. corruption of urtnery was employed In Mr. Payne's election af fecting votes either In caucus or In the Legislature, whereby the election was car ried, nor is there any evidence that any such proof exists; therefore the report holds that the Scnato would not bo warranted under the constitution to Institute an Investigation. The report points out that tho State is not under the restrictions which bind the Sen ate In such Investigations and says the Stato should execute tho laws respecting the puri ty ot Senatorial elections by the Indictment and conviction of bribe-givers and takers. As the matter stands the report holds tnat an Investigation should not be Instituted by the Senate. Senators Hoar and Frye, in a separata report, state that they can not concur with the views expressed by the other members of the committee; they think a ease was presented In which It Is their duly to per mit tho petitioners to present thulr evidence and to authorize proper process to aid In the procuring ot the attendance of wit nesses. As the Senate Is tlio only court which can havo Jurisdiction of the ques tion, the report sets forth a series of ten propositions which .Messrs. i.ltue and Hut terworth offer upoti their own respon sibility to establish to the satisfaction ot the Senate, largely by witnesses not nllhln reach of the Ohio Commlttoe. in brief, among these are the follontng: That thrco-foiirths nt tlio members of tho Legislature were pledged to Messrs. Pendleton and Ward Just before the Legis lative caucus; that larsre sums of money wero placed by Mr. ray-no's ron and other friends at the control ot thu active mauai;ers o( tlio Payne cauvass; that a gen tleman, whoso namo Is offered to be given, would declare that Mr. David Ik Paige had said he had handled $ 05,000, and that Mr. Other Ik Payno had said It coit Mm StOO, 000 to elect his father: that tho members of the Legislature who changed from Pen dleton to Payno did so after secret confi dential Interviews with the agents wbo had the disbursement of theso moneys; and that these members about that time dis played larxe sums ot money, for which they could not satisfactorily account. The re port discusses the above features of tho case at groat length, and the conclusion Is reached that an Inicstlcatlon Is warranted. Tho question Is not, the report says, whether the caso Is proved It ts only whether It shall be Inquired Into. The re jvott concludes with a resolution directing nn Investigation of tbo ehargo ana the recommendation that It be adopted. Mr. lllatnt aud Ilia I'rtsldeney. Hoston, July IS.

Little ot Im portance was developed In the Investigation of the Indian tradershlp matter bv Senator Piatt's special committee yesterday morning owing to the early hour at whUh the Senate convened. O.

Chicago, July 10. The Jury which Is to try tho Anarchists Is at last completed, alter many weeks of examination of tales men. Tho last ono to be chosen wss Howard T. Santord, of Oak Park, and a voucher clerk In tho freight department of tho Chicago t Northwestern Railroad Company. There wss a general feeling of relief when It was realized that tho long and arduous task of securing the Jury was at length ended. Stato's Attorney Qrlnncll at once be- gan his opening address to Iho Jury. Mr. Qrlnneil, as he began his address, had a big map ot tho scene of the liaymarket riot carried In and placed before the sworn twelve. Ho asked thejnrytoslt In Judgment dlspssslonatcly and be guid ed wholly by the evidence that would be advanced before them. The instttntlons of this country nad, ho said, been tram pled under foot and belittled by the conduct ot such men as participated In the liaymarket meeting May 8. The citi zens of this country believe In the Insti tutions of this country, and believe these Institutions are above, cavil, and have been . since the Declaration of Inde pendence. Hut our citizens, with their Idea of liberty, have been prone to put too much confidence In strangers who are enemies of the government. Mr. Orlnuell. continuing, said tbe Bute would provo to the jury that Spies not longer ago than last February said that men were armed In this city for blood and riot, and that Chicago was now ready for anartilsra. When told that If he advocated such doctrines he would be hnng, be replied that be was as good as George Washington, and he was not hung. Spies, Nccbe, Schwab, Parsons and Fleldcn have said that dy namite was king, and have shouted, "Down with tho police, and we will be free to riot." Parsons tho shame of our country has defended tbe nse of dynamite, and has described Its man ufacture, and with this, he said, capital Ists and policemen could bo disposed of. Tho leaders of any great cause aro cither braves or cowsrds. The testimony wllf show that Parsons, Ncebe an" bpiesare the most abject cowards. They have advised dynamite and destruction tor months and years, and now seek to es tablish an alibi, Jwhen then they have been connected with the proceedings of May 21. The firing on Sumter was a fearful thing, but wai open warfare, and could not be compared with this secret attempt to destroy our laws. Mr. Grinned Held the State was in possession ot copies ot tho "revenge" circular with the type used in printing It, and tbe manuscript In Spies' handwrit ing from which the type was set. "On Monday preceding the day of the riot." continued Mr. onnneii, mcro np pearcd In the ArMter Zeitung at the bead of the editorial column a secret word "Ipsalon. This word In Kngllsl means 'Come,' aod was the signal agreed upon for calling armed men together. Pursuant to that word the men went to Grid's Hall on Lake street. Hero the armed men as sembled. Among these wcra Fischer, Llngg, Engcland SchavbcrL The hall was occupied, and the men went into the basement. There the secret was divulged. F.ngel was there and told the p an. "When you set In the Arbetttr Ztttung, said En-cl, 'under the letter box, tho word Kuhe,' then bo ready.' 'Ituhe' means rest or peace, and this word was the call to war. This word ap peared Tuesday morning. It was double leaded and surrounded by msrks calling attention to it. Tbo copy which went to the printer, wh set this word, was In Spies' handwriting. Everything was ready but the bombs, and Llngg was selected to make these. To him alouc was Intrnstcd the mannlacturc ot the bomb used on May 4. We will prove to you that Llngg made that bomb and gate It to the man who threw it. On Tnesdav morning eight bombs had been prepared; but more were needed, aud he undertook i make them. Toes- day afternoon It was planned to distribute men throughout the city armed with bombs who would throw them at every patrol wagou going toward the scat ot trouble. All that night Llngg tramped the streets with bombs In his pocket, which be was only restrained from uslnc br his friends. That meeting I that night was fruitful ot great results. t C7... . aa IrlltMvl tn.l mmiv irnnnili.,1 l "When the order to disperse was given by Captain Ward," said the State's At torney, "Fleldcn stepped from the wagon and said In a loud voice i 'We aro peace able.' At this remark, as though It was some secret signal, a man, wbo had be fore been on the wagon, taking a bomb from his pocket, lit the fuse and threw It Into the ranks of tho police. Fleldcn, standing behind the wagon, opened fire. and kept it up for several minutes, when he in turn uisappeareu. iicnicn was me only one of all the men who had a spark ot heroism In him. He stood his ground until he saw that any further opposition was useless. "I will try and show yon who throw the bomb, and I will provo to your satis faction that Ltngg made IL There never was a conspiracy yet where some conspir ator did not divulge the secret. In this case the man was Slltger, "There are a great many counts In this case; bnt murder Is the main one. It is not necessary to bring the bomb thrower Into court. Though nouo ot theso men, perhaps, threw the bomb personalty, they aided and abetted the throwing ol It, and are as responsible as the actual throw er.'t As Mr. Grlnnell finished speaking not a sound was to be beard In tho entire court room. A look of deep anxjety was on the faces ot the prisoners. Attorneys for the defense. waived their right to make an opening address, Tho examination ol witnesses will begin this morning. MORE VICTIMS.

Great excitement prevailed on 'Change and in other com mercial circles when It was announced at noon to-day that tho Provident Savings bank had closed its doors, and the excite ment becamo lntcnso when It bucame known that tho cashier, A. U. Thompson, had left for rarts nnknown. Tho wild est kinds ot rumors pravallcd, and It was at one tlmo stated that tho shortage would amount to over 0100,000, but this was afterwards contradicted, and It to stated by a broker who Is acquainted with tho business of the bank that the amount could bardlr be rooro than halt that amount. Very fow business bouses bad accounts with tho bank, and the maldrltr of the persons hurt will bo small depositors, who can not afford to lose even tjlfi small sums they had on de posit. It was at first stated that a large manufacturing establishment that had an account with the bank was the causo of the failure, but this was also contra dicted and tho head of the concern referred to, said that ho had no collateral at all with the bank. Tbe stock ot the concern has stood well on the market, and tlio failure comes llko a thunderbolt, and was as much a surprise to tho brokers on tlio street as to the smallest depositor. Many of thr school teachers now on a vacation will looso all ther hare In the world. Never since the failure ot the Citizens' bank has so many small depos itors suffered by a tallnrc. On tho application ol canosB.urccicy, the largest stockholder ot the Provident Savings bank, filed In the Circuit Clerk's office shortly after noon to-dcy, Judge Lubke appointed William II. Thompson, President of tbe Bank of Commerce, re ceiver ot the Provident, and fixed the bond therefor nt 91,000,000. Tbe bank was organized January 21, 1881, with a capital stock ot 9200,000, and has since dono quite an extensive business among the non-commercial classes. Tho defendants In tbe suit are James S. Garland, Almon B. Thomson, Thomas II. Swain, Wm. P. Mullen, Geo. Scott, Carlos S. Greeley ni.d Charles II. Smith. The officers ot the bank arc at present: James S. Garland, president; A. B Thomson, cashier; and Thos. n. Swain, vice-president. The affidavit filed in the application alleges that by the charter tho directors were fixed at nlno, hut In fact there are but seven; that affiant holds a larger number of shares than any other stockholder; that the other stockholders aro widely scattered; that In February, 188C, J. 8. Garland, president, became 111 and was forced t abandon the bank's management, and for six months was absent from the city; that by reason of his absence and failure ot attention to tho business, Cashier Thomson assumed the duties In his stead; that on July 12. Thomson did not appear at tbo bank. and has not appeared since, and he does not believe he Intends to again appear, neither Is his whereabouts known. A partial Investigation It Is alleged dis closes tbe fact that A. B. Thomson has embezzled and appropriated a large snm of money, believed to be 9(0,000, and that Investigation will disclose a still larger amount embezzled.

Sr. Louis, July 11. Hugh M. Brooks, alias W. II. Lennox-Maxwell, convicted ol murdering Cbirles Arthur l'reller, wai sentenced this morning to bo hanged August 27, 1896. T1IK BKNTEXCE. "Hugh Mottram Brooks," said Judge Van Wagoner, "the motion for youi new trial, and also your motion In arrest ot judgment, havo been overruled, and it now only remains for tho Court to sen tence yon." Ills Honor paused after making these remarks, and the defendant said nothing, but merely compressed his lips all the more rigidly. Judge Van Wagoner then Erocceedcd to pronounce sentence, on Im as followst "Hugh Mottram Brooks, alias W. II. Maxwell, alias Walter H. Lennox-Maxwell, alias Theodora Cecil d'Auqulcr: For your off enso of murder in the first degree, as charged In tlio Indict ment, and In pursuance of the verdict heretofore rendered against you, It Is considered and adjudged by the Court that you be taken from tnis place to the place whence you came, there to remain in me custody oi tno tuenu until Friday, the 27th day ot Aug ust, A.

A stay ot execution was afterward granted until October 2, 1886, and an ap peal to the Stato Supreme Court al lowed. The grounds on which the Stato Supreme Court will bo asked to reverse the decision ot the lower court In the caso aro the samo as were made thu basis for an application tor a new trial beforo the Criminal Court. Ouc ot tho main points, that In regent to exhumlng a body with out giving the defense duo notice. was passed upon by the Stato Supreme Court, who held that ono side could take such action without notifying tho other side, so tnat one oi mo point av least, on which a reversal was hoped for has been knocked out.
