Associated press Dispatches.]
Chicago, April 8. —An exciting hand
to-hand encounter for $1,500 worth of
diamonds occurred today in a room
at the Palmer house. A young
man registered Sunday under the
name of Ralph Allen. Today he
sent to several jewelry stores, asking
that some diamonds be sent for inspec
tion, saying he was laid up with a
sprained ankle. Salesman Bigler was
sent from Hyman & Co.'s to make in
quiries, and found Allen apparently all
right. He was still suspicious, how
ever,and when he returned with the gems
had a porter stationed outside the door.
After discussing the proposed purchase
several moments, Allen grasped a heavy
cane and felled Bigler to the floor. The
salesman struggled up and grappled
with the ruffian, meanwhile yelling to
the porter. The latter, however, lost
his wits, and when Allen broke away
and ran down the hall allowed him to
get past. To the persons who attempted
to stop Allen he shouted: "Catch that
insane man," pointing back. Time
keeper Dregs was hot fooled, however,
and captured Allen. Papers found on
his person indicate that tie came from
Washington, and that possibly his right
name is George A. Pierce. He refused
to disclose his identity, saying this was
the first time he was ever in trouble and
charging it to liquor. He does not want
his folks to know it. Salesman Bigler
has a severe scalp wound, but is not
seriously hurt.
A NEW CRANK MOV EMENT.
Religion to lie Drought Into Political
and State Affair*.
Washington, April 3. —The Reform
Conference, an organization formed for
the purpose of bringing religion into the
settlement of political and State affairs,
today adopted ;\ platform declaring in
ia\or in'employing the teachings of the
Bible in the settlement of public affairs,
and the insertion of the name of the
Supreme Being in the Constitution.
The platform also approves the Blair
Sunday Rest bill and all measures against
gambling, pool-selling and the liquor
traffic. A committee reported that a
call had been made upon the President,
who received them kindly. The Presi
dent, they reported, said for good reasons
he did not wish to be compelled to make
a response to their address setting forth
the objects of the association, and added
that its objects were so complicated that
be would require time for their consider
ation.
BUCKET-SHOPS RAFFLED.
The Absence of Quotations licginnlng to
Tell on Them.
Chicago, April 3.—Bucket-shops did
not succeed in getting quotations so
promptly today, and much to the ela
tion of the Board of Trade, the bucket
business fell off. The board of directors
excluded from the floor the messengers
of two regular houses, charging that
they were "leaking" to the bucket-shops.
The managers of the Board of Trade
discovered today that a wire to Milwau
kee was being tapped by the bucket
shops. A telegrapher furnishing them
the quotations secretly, was also dis
covered and bounced.
A MANIAC'S FREAK.
Set Fire to His House and Perished In
the Flames.
Egg Hariior, N. J., April 3.—George
Lang, while temporarily insane, terri
fied liia family, consisting of his wifo and
three children, by wishing them to re
main quiet while he set lire to the
house. He then fired the bed, contain
ing his sleeping five-year-old daughter.
The house was soon in Haines, and the
neighbors with difficulty rescued the
little ones, one of the rescuers being
seriously burned. The maniac secured
a shotgun and threatened death to all
who attempted to approach him. He
was next seen to jump into tiie flames,
and after a few groans all was quiet.
SACRILEGIOUS FLAMES.
Horace Greeley's Old Homestead De
stroyed by Fire.
Chappaqua, N. V., April 3. —The old
Greeley homestead, built by Horace
Greeley, in 1851, was destroyed by fire
this morning. Since Mr. Greeley's death
the house, had been owned by Miss
Gabrielle Greeley, his only surviving
child. Miss Greeley was in Pleasant
ville at the time. The fire made rapid
progress, and the servants were com
pelled to leave the house without saving
much property. It is believed $10,000
will cover the loss.
Horribly Mutilated.
Helena, Mont., April 3.—This morn
ing a disreputable colored woman was
found dead on Clore street, horribly
mutilated. A Chinaman was last seen

ing into a Chinese house. The police
failed to identify him, and arrested all
the inmates of the house, numbering
over thirty.
Mysterious Shooting.

his family, and all are reticent about the
affair, which is regarded as mysterious.

A QUEER CASE.
AN ENOCH ARDEN ROMANCE WITH
VARIATIONS.
Husband No. 1, Who Is Thought Dead,
Turns Up After An Absence of Four
Years—Finds That His Wife Has Been
Twice Married Since.
Crawfokijsvim.k, Ind., April 3. —There
arrived in this city from the West last
evening, Walter A. Anthony, a hand
some and stylishly-dressed young man.
He registered, and started out to find
his wife, whose maiden name was
Annie Cunningham, and to whom he
was married in this city four years ago.
Two years ago they parted in California,
where they then lived, and he went to
Virginia on business. They corres
ponded for some time, hut after
a while he failed to receive answers to
his letters. At this time he inherited
about $250,000 and left for England to
see about it. In the meantime his wife
heard nothing from him until about a
year ago, when she heard, on what she
considered pretty good authority, that
he was dead. On the strength
of this she married Fred Sliz
ley, of this city, but soon secured
a divorce. She then went West again,
where she met Will 11. Griffith, a
wealthy New Yorker. In live weeks
they were married. They are now living
in Denver. Mrs. Griffith had been visit
ing in Crawfordsville in the past few
weeks. Only a few days ago she left for
Denver with her sister in answer to a
letter from her husband. All this was
news to Anthony. He was communi
cative and talked a great deal, although
at times he would break down and cry.
He said he had some old debts
to pay and would hunt up his ex-wife if
he had to follow her to the end or the
earth. He says if his wife is happy and
contented with her present husband he
will relinquish all claims to her. He
left today for Denver.
LITTLE KHODY'S POLITICS.
The Recent Election Decidedly Darren of
Results.
Providence, R. 1., April 3.—The next
Legislature so far as chosen, stands:
Senate —Republicans 21 ; Democrats, 11;
to be chosen, 4. House —Republicans,
24; Democrats, 25; to be chosen, 25.
The election for Governor and general
officers is thrown into the Legislature,
and 55 votes are needed to assure a
majority. Of the Assembly members to
be elected at a supplementary election
the Republicans must, get ten, or the
Democrats nineteen to secure a majority
to elect the State officers.
The vote for Senator in this city,
which well represents the legislative
vote, was as follows: G. T. Brown
(Dem.), 7,457 ;E. R. Burton (National
ist), 142; E. C. Pierce (Union), 281;
Charles S. Smith (Rep.), 6,284; I). F.
Thorpe (Pro.), 59. Supplementary
elections throughout the State for mem
bers of the Legislature, where there was
no choice in the present election, will be
held in about ten days.
So far as heard from everybody ex-
Eresses a favorable opinion of the new
allot system and of its undoubted suc
cess. The large total vote cast is a
pretty effectual answer to those who
claimed it, would shut out illiterate
voters. One peculiar feature of the elec
tion was the fact that the new Union
party almost wholly disappeared, a few
of its candidates not receiving any votes.
Why Gould Went to Mexico.
St. Louis, April 3.—A story was printed
here this morning to the effect that Jay
Gould was suffering severely of nervous
prostration, and that the real reason of
his going to Mexico was to secure much
needed rest, and to try the healthful
effects of a change of climate, ft is
said he is likely to remain in Mexico
some time.
Acquitted of Robbery.
Brainard, Minn., April 3. —Charles
Searleard and William Paine, the young

ing been acquitted by the jury.

A Notable Suicide at San Diego—The
Mayor Gunn Case—The Colonels Drub
the Senators.
San Francisco, April ;;.—President
Jacobs, of the California Canned Goods
Association, arrived here today, after a
journey East, where he went to protest
against the proposed increase of the tax
on tin plate, as agreed upon by the com
mittee on ways and hieans at Washing
ion. As Eastern canneries joined with
him in the protest, it is believed the
increase of the tariff has been postponed
for the time, at least. Jacobs brings
home cheering accounts of the prospects
in store for California fruit-raisers this
year. The situation in Eastern fruit dis
tricts is bad. The open winter has en
couraged an early growth, which
the i cent frosts blighted. The
result is that the demand
for California fruits is likely to be very
great. California prunes, by reason of
their superior quality, are forcing those
of foreign growth out of the market,
and it is probable that the demand is
likely to exceed the production. Jacobs
advocates less canning of fruits and
more drying. Dried fruits have com
manded high prices, while canned goods
are depressed, and the present Supply is
so large that a great amount will have
to be carried over into this year's con
sumption.
THE COLONELS WON.
A Fine Game Between the Oakland and
Sacramento Teams.
San Francisco, April 3.—Today was
the initial appearance of the Oakland
and Sacramento teams, and they ac
quitted themselves well, the former win
ning by a score of 6 to nothing. The
Senators made but two errors, and the
Oaklands only one. While Colonel Rob
inson's "pets" scored six runs to nine
goose-eggs for the Senators, the fault
was not in the playing of the Sacra
mento lads. It was a case of plain ordi
nary bad luck. Cohb twirled a tine
game for the Oaklands and Peter Loh
man caught him in excellent shape.
Harper and Bowman formed the Sena
torial battery. Harper pitched a fair
game, but sent a pair of wild ones over
the plate, and became rattled once or
twice. The work of both teams in the
field was splendid.
MAYOR GUNN'S CASE.
The City and Not the Mayor the Proper
Defendant.
San Francisco, March 3. —The case of
the people upon relation of George A.
Johnson, Attorney General, vs. Doug
lass Gunn, Mayor of San Diego, was
argued today before the Supreme
Court, sitting in bane. The action is to
oust the defendant from the office of
Mayor, on the ground that the new
charter of the city of San Diego, under
which he was elected, is unconstitu
tional and void. A demurrer was inter
posed by defendant, on the ground that
the city and not the Mayor, was the
proper party defendant. Tlie demurrer
was sustained, and judgment was en
tered accordingly. The hearing today
was on appeal by plaintiff, and the case
was submitted for decision on the argu
ments made.

HYDROGRAPHIC SURVEYS.
More Money Needed for the Work
in California.
San Francisco, April 3.—Chief Sur
veyor Hall, of the Irrigation Bureau of
the United States Geological Survey,
stated today that very little was l>eing
done in hydrographic work in California
rivers, the appropriations for the present
fiscal year having been expended long
ago. Some work is being done in meas
uring the volume of the water in the
Truckee and Carson rivers in Eastern
California and Nevada. The importance
of this work to the people of California
cannot be over-estimated, as it enables
one to have a good knowledge of the
amount of water available for irrigation.
Out of the appropriation of $100,000
voted by Congress for hydrographic work
for the present fiscal year, but $12,000
was allotted for work in California. Hall
further stated that $50,000 yearly was
needed in California, owing to the ex
tent to which irrigation was carried on.
No work of any importance could be
done until Congress made an ap
propriation.

IOWA PROHIBITION.
WEIGHED IN THE BALANCE AND
FOUND WANTING.
Ret Clarkson Acknowledges That It Has
Failed in Its General Application
After Seven .Years' Experiment—The
Law Needs Amendment.
Washington, April 3. —In an inter
view today regarding the anti-prohibi
tion movement in lowa, First Assistant
Postmaster-General Clarkson, said:
"The prohibition law has had a seven
years' trial, and while it has proved sat
isfactory in many districts, it has failed
to find public opinion to enforce it in
the larger cities and in the counties on
the Mississippi river which are largely
settled by people of European birth. It
is an open fact that it cannot be en
forced in such localities without State
constabulary, which the temper of the
people would never permit. The Re
publican party has never been
united in the support of the
measure. As many as fifty or sixty
thousand Republicans have opposed
it, but have gone along with the party,
willing to see the experiment tried,
j Now that it has been tried seven years
j and failed in part, they insist that the
I law be amended to give prohibition to
i eighty per cent, of lowa where public
[ opinion favors and enforces it, but that
| some other method of regulating and re
pressing the traffic be given to the
| twenty per cent, of the State where ex
perience shows it can never be enforced.
The demand of yesterday's convention
for a silent platform will not be success
ful ; it is not the temper of the lowa
people to be silent on any question. The
present Legislature should, in my judg
ment, modify the law as demanded
by experience or actual trial. The sug
gestion for another vote on the constitu
tional amendment does not meet the
question. The seven years' experiment
Should be followed by action. Besides,
I do not believe it right to vote anything
of an experimental character into the
constitution. All good people wish to
reach such legislation as will be nearest
right and most repressive of the liquor
traffic, and if possible, destructive of it,
but common sense must regulate in this
as in all other affairs of men."
Dcs Moines, lowa, April 3. —The ex
ecutive committee of the anti-Prohibi
tion Republican Conference this eve
ning presented to the Senatorial caucus
a memorial calling attention to yester
day's resolution, declaring that there
was defection in the party on account of
prohibition, and urging immediate relief
in the way of a modification of the pres
ent law.

Associated Press Dispatches. I
London, April 3. —Francis DeWinton,
who was connected with the Emm
Pasha Relief Commission, is bitterly in
dignant with Emm for entering the
German service, and declares that he
has in his possession letters from Emm
written while he was in the interior of
Africa in which Emm begs to be res
cued. Sir Francis says he regards Emm
as a man absolutely devoid of gratitude
and generosity.
Stanley cables: "I accept Emm's ac
tion as proof that he has recovered from
his accident. I wish him bon voyage.
The gospel of enterprise is spreading."
The Times correspondent at Cairo
says in an interview Stanley said:
"Emm had both English and German
offers, and he cannot be blamed if he
thought the German offers preferable.
Things have gone unfortunately awry
since Emm returned. It is likely mat
ters were misrepresented during his ill
ness. If he wins over the Arabs he will
add to his reputation, and not hurt
English interests. Still, the Ger
mans cannot be too cautious
in their mutual desire to se
cure trade routes. I have heard
of no action of either the Germans
or by Emm that would chill my sympa
thy with them. Emm's proclamation
reveals soreness, and was unnecessary."
Zanzibar, April 3. —Emm Pasha ac
cuses the British Consul of falsely de
scribing him as plaintiff inTippoo's case,
the real plaintiff being Stanley. Emm
appears mistaken in this, the real plain
tiffs being the Emm relief committee..
The general belief is that the politicians
are making a cat'spaw of Emm.
THE STUDENTS' REVOLT.
The Disaffection In Russian Colleges Has
No Connection with Politics.
St. Petersburg, April 3.—The curator
of the university attempted to calm the
excitement among the students with no
success. A detachment of police was
therefore placed on permanent duty at
the university. While arrests *of
students at the military academy and
academy of medicine are being made,
and bodies of Cossacks and gendarmes
surround the building, the movement has
no connection with politics, but is chiefly
the outcome of discontent arising from
the reactionary and arbitrary spirit of
the new university statutes, which have
taken the place of the liberal regulations
in force during the reign of Alexander
The university is still open, the Gov
ernment having refrained from carrying
out its determination to close the insti
tution, because the final examinations
of students were about to take place.

like a feeble man. These evidences of
physical decadence corroborate the
recent reports that the Prince is ill.
