"21s _'l'H1 s see
The VVinsted Hearld, under date of
Jan. 23, says it is an open secret that

l
certain prominent democrats (who are

on the anxious seat in view of Judge
Morris’s small “apparent majority” of
26) are heaping an untold number of
anathemas upon the head of ex-senator
Staub of New Milford, whom they are
said to regard as the “Jonah” that has
made them so much trouble. It is
asserted that Mr. Staub’s vehement de-
sire to secure a big vote for the comp-
trollership induced him to try the trad-
ing of votes as a means of gaining
them, and that the party who suffered
most thereby was J‘udge Morris. Mr.
Staub’s alleged majority was over 1,600,
and his political friends think that if
there had been no trading off of the
head of the ticket that Judge Morris
would easily have had so large a ma-
jority that the “for” and other thrown
out ballots could not have upset his
claim to the coveted“ position. Mr.
Staub remarked to Gov. Bulkeley a few
days ago that he was a “goodhunner,”
and it is probable that his friends will
suggest to him the advisability, here-
after, of reserving some of his speed
until the Governor’s cavalry get after
him.”

This may be true as to \Vinsted and
possibly other towns in the state, but
certainly was not in this vicinity. Mr.
Staub received more than his party
vote from firemen, who know him as
one of their guild, and from others,
who know him personally as a good
hearted and generous natured man.
W'hatevcr lax or overzealous party
friends may have done. we do not be-
lieve that Mr. Staub had any personal
participation in such a transaction.

ATTACKED BY INDIANS.

Ranclunen Fired on, but the Hostile:
“"ere Badly Routcd.

OMAHA. Neh, Jan. 28.—A special from
Rapid City, N. D., says: An arrival from
Lower Spring creek today brings the news
of an attack made by a party of Indians
upon the ranch of Noah N ewbanks shortly
alter-sundown Saturday night. Newbanks,
his family and three. men, who were in his
employ. had just finished their suppers,
when acrashing of glass was heard, fol-
owcd by the report. of a. rifle. Seizing
their arms, Newbanks and his men rushed
out of doors only to meet another vol-
ley from a party of Indians who had taken
a position about 150 yards from the house.

Fortunately none of the whites was in-
jured by the fire. They immediately re-
turned the tire andthe Indians retreated
across the Cheyenne. A vigilant outlook
was kept at the ranch all night, but the
Indians did not return the attack. Next
morning the ground was closely exam.
ined. and in several places the grass was
found to be stained with blood, and from
this it is thought some of the Indians were
wounded.

A BRUTAL DAUGHTER-IN-LA‘V.

She Knocked the Old ‘anun Down, Beat
Her and Jumped on Her.

JERSEY CITY, Jan. 28.—At 8 o’clock Tues
day morning word came to the First pro
cinct station house, in this city, that an old
woman had been nearly murdered in the
tenement house 325 Warren street.

Policeman Finlay was sent down, and
found Margaret Doherty, a widow, aged 6(
years, lying on the floor in a room alone,
with her head cut and bruised, and blood
marks spattered all about. She was brought
to the station house and attended by Dr.
Gray, who considered her condition so seri-
ous that he ordered her sent to the city
hospital. The two most serious wounds
were over the left eye and on the right side
of the head.

The old woman said that her daughter-
in-law, Kate, did not want her in the house
and asserted that early in the morning
Kate knocked her down with an iron skil-
let, beat her over the head and jumped on
her with her feet until she became insensi-
ble. The police are searching for Kate
Doherty, who had made her escape.

He Was a Vicious Old Man.

BATAVIA, N. Y., Jan. 28.——Fred Frenz,
aged % years, living at East Oakfield, com-
mitted suicide by shooting himself in the
head with an old shotgun. Frenz was a
quarrelsome old man, and on Saturday
was abusing his wife, when his sons inter-
fered and gave him a severe beating. He
had them arrested, and they were to ap-
pear for examination. They were ar-
raigned, and as the fgther did not put in
an appearance he was sent for, but before
his house was reached he had killed him-
self. No reason is known for the deed, un-
less it was that he did not want to appear
against his sons. A few years ago Franz
was arrested for putting paris green in the
well at his home with intent to poison his
family. He was tried at the time, but was
let off with a small fine. The sons were
discharged.

 

The Vanderbilts Want Them.

.MILWACKEE, Jan. 28,—The negotiations
now pending for the purchase by the Van-
derbilts of several of the northern Michi-
gan iron mines controlled by the Schlesin-
ger syndidate will involve a consideration
of several millions of dollars. If the sale is
consummated the Bleichroder banking
house, of Germany, which is behind the
Schlesingers, will realize large profits on
its investment. The Chapin mine alone,
for which the syndicate paid $2,000,000, is
held at $2,500,000. The other mines in-
volved in the Vanderbilt deal are under-
stood to be the Florence, Iron River,
Youngstown and East Negaunee group.
They represent evaluation of about $5,000,-
000.

A Murderer Hanged.

SANTA BARBARA, Ca1., Jan. 28.—Ramon
Lopez was executed here for the murder 01
Mary Deserillo. Two hundred citizens
witnessed the execution. The Catholic
priest who attended the execution saida
few words for the prisoner, asking forgive-
ness from those he had ofiended and for-
giving all those who had offended him.
The prisoner walked to the scaffold with a
crucifix in both hands, which he often fer-
vently kissed. He shook hands with the
sheriff, looking toward the sun, then
closed his eyes. He steed perfectly still
while being bound. His neck was broken
by the fall. ‘

f - What Was Expected.

ETH}: FORGE BILL SHELVED.

“Baby Senator” Wolcott Laid His Plans
Well, and by His Motion and Repub-
lican Votes .Ihe Reapportionment
Bill “’35 Taken Up.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—It is the unex-
pected that always happens, it is said, and
the proceedings in the senate would seem
to justify the aptness of that trite old saw.
The promised coup d’etat was sprung, but
it was an entirely different one from that
which was anticipated, and it was manipu-
lated by “Baby Senator” Wolcott, who is
fast developing into a brilliant parliament-
ary strategist.

The senate had just got down to smooth
work, and Senator Morgan (Dem., Ala.)
was pretty well warmed up in his speech
against the cloture rule when Senator
Jones, of Nevada, who up to this time had
been absent, entered the chamber. On the
instant up rose the young man from Colo-
rado, and in a clear voice that rung out
with intense distinctness', startled the sen-
ate more than the explosion of a dynamite
cartridge would have done by moving to
take up the reapportionment bill.

By a hIajoi-ity of One.

For a. moment the silence was almost
painful, and it was broken by Mr. Morgan
stating that he willingly gave way for the
motion. Consternation and surprise had
affixed their stamp on the faces of Mr.
VVolcot-t’s Republican colleagues, while the
faces of the Democrats were wreathed in
smiles. Mr. Platt, of Connecticut, who
was in the chair, hurriedly summoned Vice
President Morton, who assumed control,
and the vote on the motion was then taken.

When the smoke of the conflict had
cleared away, the pairs all announced and
the vote recorded it was found that Mr.
\Volcott had builded his scheme well, for
his motion to go into consideration of the
reapportionment bill (thus putting aside
the cloture resolution and the federal
elections bill) was carried by one vote,
Messrs. Cameron, Jones of Nevada, Stew-
art, Teller, \Vashburn and Wolcott voting
with the Democrats.

The effect of the adoption of this motion
is to make the reapportionment bill the
unfinished business of the senate, and
until it is out of the way neither the cloture
nor elections measures can be considered.
Whether another effort will be made to
again take up those measures, or whether
the Republicans who bolted will again vote
with the Democrats to keep them out of
the way, only time can tell.

The Alaskan Case.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.——Attorney Gen-
eral Miller presented his answer in the
supreme court Tuesday afternoon to the
motion for leave to file a petition for a writ
of prohibition to annul the proceedings of
the Sitka, Alaska, court in the case of the
schooner Sayward, seized by the Rush in
the summer of 1887 for catching seals in
Alaskan waters. The attorney general in
his argument, opposed the motion for
leave to file the petition on the following
grounds:

First, that the supreme court has no
power in any case to issue a. writ of prohi-
bition to the Sitka court because it is not a
district court of the United States, being
merely a territorial court. He argued fur-
ther that the question of jurisdiction of
the Alaska court, which the petitioners
seek to present, cannot be raised on the
record of the admiralty proceedings on file
with the supreme court, because the face
of these proceedings show jurisdiction in
the Alaska court, and after sentence in
such cases, he argued, prohibition “will
not issue.”

It's a. Political Question.

In concluding his argument he held that,
conceding all the facts averred in the peti-
tion, the question of the jurisdiction of the
Alaskan court depends upon the extent of
the dominion of the United States in Beh-
ring sea. This, he maintained, is a politi-
cal question. to be decided by the political
department of the government, the execu-
tive and congress, both of which have de-
cided against the petitioners’ contention,
and this decision, he held, must be con-
clusive upon the judiciary.

N o consideration whatever, the attorney
general said, had been given in his answer
to the question of international law which
is now and has been for the past six years
the subject. of diplomatic correspondence
between Great Britain and the United
States, with reference to the right of this
country to assert a territorial jurisdiction
in Behring sea to the extent of protecting its
seal fisheries beyond the three mile limit or—
dinarily fixed as the boundary of territorial
jurisdiction of countries bordering on the
sea. Such a question, the attorney general
respectfully insisted, is not within the cog-
nizance of the supreme court, and be there—
fore did not discuss it.

A Customs Ruling.

VVASIIING'I‘ON, Jan. 28.—The treasury de-
partment has decided that the date of de-
livery of declarations made before notaries
public at the custom house must be ac-
cepted as the “time of entry,” and not the
time on which the declaration was made
before a notary.

Signed by the President.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—The president
has signed the bill to authorize the secrev
tary of war to loan certain cannon to the
Saratoga Monument association, also a
number of private pension bills.

VVAsIIIxGTox, Jan. 28,—A conscience con-
tribution of $150, in a letter postmarked

Against Bishop Gilmour.

FINDLAY, 0., Jan. 28.——In the circuit
court here Judge Seney rendered a decision
in the case of Bishop Gilmour, of the Cleve-
land diocese, against the Findlay, Fort
Wayne and VVeCstern Railroad company,
which came up from Putnam county. The
bishop sought to prevent the railroad
company from crossing property belonging
to the Catholic church. The local courts
of Putnam county had put four men in

not only releases the men, but declares that
all the proceedings of Bishop Gilmour and
his attorneys were illegal. The Bishop’s
only remedy lies in a. suit for damages.
