Deed Was Done In a Fit of Paulon— Tlie Vanillic, ot Both Young Bleu Hesltle In Ottnmwa— -r orcood neputaltoni. [From Saturday's Daily.] Thomas Glenn, formerly of this city, met a tragic death at Omaha yesterday nt the hands of Frank Montague, uu otlier former Ottumwa boy. The tvo young men were employed at the pack ing house of the Hammond Packing company, where they became involved in a quarrel, as the result of which Montague threw a knife at Glenn, with the above result. Further details of tlie awful tragedy could not be ob tained. The remains of the unfortu nate young man will arrive in tlie city on Burlington Xo. 4 this evening, and the perpetrator of the awful deed is confined in a prison cell, having tur- rendered himself to th» authorities soon after the deed was committed. W H. Montague, a brother of tlie man who committed the crime, re ceived a letter today from Frank's at torney, iu which he says that he has not sufficient time to investigate the case thoroughly, but that from what he can learn he is of the opinion that there' is a chance for the boy getting free. Both Glenn and Montague are well known in Ottumwa, where they resid ed for a number of years prior to go ing to Omaha. They were fast friends while here and were rooming together at Omaha. The deed is said to have been committed in the heat of passion caused by a trifling difference or mis untjerslttmliug. Frank Montague is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Montague, residing on Fast Mill street. Prior to his depart ure for Omaha he \yas eui ployed at the .coQjier shop of Jerry Seymour. His' father has been blind for ten years, and Frank and his brothers were supporting their [Kivents. Friends who know him best express surprise JJi^t lie should have commuted such a teS-rible deed, as the disposition which he displayed In so doing is entirely foreign to what he ever exhibited yvhi}« Uviqg^jiere, Jle was. a .good. boy, kind and Onerous, and is deserving of sympathy in this hour of. trouble.

A^ide from a-little smoke the device was qniUi lis successful as our electric irons.

In other huts they were manu fucturine pottery, cocoanut beer, etc. "About this time wc noticed a couple of natives jogging along the road with something hanging to a bamboo pole, which they wera carrying. The some thing proved to be a dead Filipino. They paused in their journey, lowered their burden into the dust road, and after refreshing themselves with co coanut milk, gathered up their grcw some load and proceeded to the bury ing ground. Tlie Fillpiuo cemetery consists of stone or adobe walls, filled with niches, where the dead are deposit ed in. rulc boxes. They ure permitted to remain here for a period of five yeaTS, and if, at the end of that time, the friends of the deceased are uuable to pay the rent for the next five years, the corpse is taken from ita resting place and dumped unceremoniously into a large excavation. I do not know the native name for it, but I should term it a bone yard, where grinning skulls and stark white bones lie bleach ing in the sun. "The city of Iloilo has evidently seen better days. All the principal business houses and residences were burned by the insurgents before they retired. In some instances the houses have been rebuilt, but only in a sort of circus tent fashion, and give a decided temporary appearance to the place. "Herman Kehm." BVHGiAB BIX'FFJED.

The arrangements closed! with this company and the Iowa cor-: poration, give the latter the use of these valuable terminals, and at once put the proposed new line in position to sell its bonds and proceed with the work of construction. This is a matter of great importance to the people of Ottumwa, and now that it has assumed tangible and definite shape it is im portant that the business men of this city should at once take up tlie project of making Ottumwa the northern ter minus of tlie line. From statements made to us from tho.se in a position to know, vfrc are confident that such an arrangement can be made, and we would suggest that a committee of iti/.ens be appointed at once to take the matter aciively in hand. Messrs. S. H. Sawyers, J. E. Hough land, J. S. Barley, Charles S. Bieree and other citizens of Eldon, who have pinned their faith, and labored with such zeal to promote this project which had its inception in the mind of Mr. Houghhmd, and who have put a large amount of money into the corporation in securing the necessary preliminary surveys, right of way, etc., are certain ly to be heartily congratulated upon the present outlook for their enter prise. We are advised that the arrange ment with the St. Louis, Kansas City and Colorado railroad definitely settles all question as to the building of the uew Hue, and that active construction is to be commenced at the earliest pos sible moment. The Courier extends its hearty congratulations to these hard working ciiizens of Eldon, and we as sure them that the people of Ottumwa are ready to co-operate with them in a manner that will redound to the mu tual benefit of all concerned.
