BULLETS FOR Bouts 'ANn'BEABS‘ _
A Lunatic Fires Into' the Chicago BM
of Trade, Pit. '
CHICAGO, Sep. 28.-—-Five shots fired in
quick succession reached throughout the
hall of the board of trade shortly after
noon while the floor of the exchange was
crowded with operators.
A panic resulted, the operators rushing
pell mell from the floor and tumbling over
each other in their haste to reach the outer
hall.
When the first shot was heard the oper-
ators, who looked iii-the direction whence
it came, saw the individual in question
flourishing his pistol and endeavoring to
pull the trigger of the weapon, which ap-
peared to momentarily have caught on his
finger.
He was still flourishing the pistol aim-
lessly when it discharged four times in
rapid succession. Three of the five shots
took effect. The injured are:
Amri Bennett, a prominent operator
and president of the Board of Trade insur-
ance company, bullet in the neck, believed
to be seriously wounded.
Mrs. W. IV. Lewis of Titusville, Pa. ,
World’s Fair visitor, who was sitting in
the gallery. flesh wound. .
C. W. Roswell, assistant chief operator
of the Western Union telegraph company,
on ’change, fractured jaw by a bullet.
Before the lunatic could empty the re-
maining chambers of his revolver, he. was
caught from behind by Tom Barrett, the
floor officer of the board, ands. noted ath-
lete, who threw him to the floor and pin-
ioned his hands.
He was then taken down to the private
room of the executive committee of the
boar d, shouting at the top of his voice: ‘ ‘I
warned them beforehand and they did not
heed me; I gave them plenty of fair
warning.” .-
His name is Cassius H. Belden, and he
has been living with his sister, Mrs. A.
W'illiams, a dressmaker, and his brother,
’1‘. F. Belden, a speculator. -When Mrs.
Williams was told of the shooting she
said: “My brother has not been in his
right mind for five years and he has been
unable to Work during that time, being
entirely dependent on my other brother
and me for support. He used to be a
sign pointer, but overwork and domestic
troubles unsettled his mind, and he has,
since his divorce from his wife in Camden,
N. J., been a lunatic. I believe he com-
mitted the act in the thought that his
brother was being robbed or in some way
injured by the men in the pit.”. .
FATAL WRECK IN MICHIGAN.
Collision in “'hich Three People Were
Killed and Several Inj ured. ”35
BELLEVUE, Mich, Sep. 28.——-A bad accl-
dent occurred on the Chicago dc Grand
Trunk railroad at this station yesterday.
Express train No. 5, west-bound, which
was two hours late, was standing at the
station when it 'was run into by the Eric
express, also west-bound, demolishing a
special car attached to train No. 5.
The special "car contained Cashier Mere-
dith, of the Chicago & Grand Trunk road,
and his wife; Henry A. Newland and wife,
father and mother of Mrs. Meredith; Wil—
liam Costles, porter, and William Aber-
nathy, cook.
Mr. and Mrs. Newland were killed out-
right, Mr. and Mrs. Meredith are badly in-
jured, VVilli‘am Castles is fatally hurt, but
William Abernathy escaped with slightin.
juries. The fireman of the Erie express,
named Jemison, is badly scalded.
The special car was telescoped. The
roof was hurled into the ticket office of the
station, completely demolishing it, leaving
only the telegraph instruments. The tele- ,
graph operator had just stepped outside,
and escaped instant death. The rest of
the special car was broken into splinters. ,
There is no telegraph operator at Olivdt,
and there was no way to signal No. 9 of
No. 5’s stop at that station. There was a
dense fog at the time of the accident, and
the engineer of No. 9 could not see the lights
ahead of him. ‘
The cause of the accident was that the
trains were running too close together. A
coroner’s jury has been summoned to inves-
' tigate the cause of the accident.
Engineer Desmond of train N o. 19 claims
that he was running on an order and had
the right of way. He and his fireman did
not see the lights of train No. 5 until
within 100 feet of them. Then there was ,
no time to do anything. The crash came
before either of them could move. The
engineer escaped miraculously without a
scratch though his fireman was badly
scolded. *
The officials of the road intimate that
Desmond had no such orders as he claims.
The matter is being investigated. '

PEERS ALWAYS AGAINST PROGRESS
The Will of the Country “Cannot Sub-
mit to the House of Lords, Although
They Bear High-Sounding Titles and Sit
in a Gilded Chamber.”
LONDON, Sep. 28,—In his speech at
Edinburgh yesterday. Mr; Gladstone re
ferred to the Irish home rule bill,\lmd
spoke substantially as follows:
“In spite of all that has been, said, the
last session of the house of commons will
The many days spent on the home rule
bill will not be without a harvest; ‘ The
fact that the people’s chamber deliberately . ,
and advisedly passed, after a long and
importance, ,is the most significant step in
connection with the whole subject of the con-
tentment, happiness and peace of Ireland.
The fact is that the present parliamentary
institutions are too weak’for their purpose.
They overweigh and do not meet the de-‘
mands of the country. In spite of the 5%
sacrifices of the house of commons. during
the past session there has been a legisla—
tive famine. There is something wrong
and defective in the great institutions.
the concentrated attention of the nation.
with the view to the removal of the de-
fects. The evil is immeasurable. On one
hand is the nation expressing just de-
mands; on the other hand are the neces-
sary measures to satisfy those demands.
But between the two there is a great bar-
rier, namely, the Irish question, which
has taken the energy and mortgaged the
time of parliament generation after genera-
tion. \Vhy has this question continued to
exist so long, and who is answerable for
its remaining before us? There is only one
reply—the responsibility rests .with the
house of lords. \Vho has the remedy in
dealing with this great evil?”
Mr. Gladstone then proceeded to review
the relations that have existed bet Ween the
house Of lords and the house of commons
since the passage of the Reform bill in
“Since 1841,” he sdid, “the legislation
of the house of commons has been a per-
petual challenge to the house of lords.
Sometimes the latter has declined to accept -
the challenge and has passed the measure
proposed because unless they had done so
there would have been no house of lords at
this date. ” ‘
As instances he cited the repeal of the
corn laws in 1846 the repeal of the soap
duty in 1853, Irish disestablishment in
1869 and the passage of the land act in
1870. He also noticed three cases in which
the house of lords had taken a different
course. The first of these was when, in
1831, the lords rejected the bill‘ to reform
the house of commons, which they re.
garded as a. great triumph, as great as they
now regard the rejection -.of home rule.
But within six months they were ignomin-
iously compelled to pass the measure under
threat that unless. they did . so a sufficient
number of peers would be created to carry
it over their heads. The next was the re
jection of the bill for the abolition of the
paper duty, in 1860, which resulted in the
peers losing all influence over the country’s
finances. The third was the refusal of the
lords to pass the home rule bill in 1886.
This measure having beenrejected by the
upper house the question was discussed in,
cessantly until 1892, when the entire coun-
try returned a majority in its favor. -
“That verdict, ” continued Mr. Gladstone,
"the lords have now reversed. What are
their pleas for that reversal? A majority
of the lords gave an opinion hostile to the
bill, a majority of the commons an opinion
in its favor. Yet it is hardly a. case in
which one opinion is as good (as another.
The peers form their opinion for themselves;
they are responsible to nobody, and if it
proves wrong they will neither be ousted
nor be made to suffer in any way. Our
is not solely our own, but was
formed in discussion with the nation and .
was given with all the authority thata na-
tional verdict can confer.”
After a passing reference to the intelli~
gence and incomparable unity of the lib-
erals, without which the minority would,
he said, have broken and destroyed the
bill without sending it to the house of
lords, Mr. Gladstone continued: “Should
it ever happen in the vicissitudes of politiv
cal affairs that the house of lords, by
some accident or collateral process, should
bring about a dissolution of the house of
commons, depend upon it, the people will
not; consider home rule alone, but will mix
with it another question, on which the
lords may bitterly lament, when it is too
late, that they ever raised an issue.”
Mr. Gladstone counseled neither vio-
lence nor vehemence; If the worst came,
the worst consolation that could be offered
would be to remind them of recent history
and of the vast- changes in the past sixty
years, not one of which originated in the
house of lords or was promoted by lords or
the existence of which on the statute book
was due to the impartial opinion of the
lords. To every one of these changes the
opinion of the house of lords had been ad-
verse, although its manifestations might
have been prudently restrained, and might,
perhaps, be prudently restrained again.
“For my part,” said Mr. Gladstone, “I
find this retrospect sufficiently encourag-
ing. If the nation is determined it will
not be baffled by a phalanx of 500 peers.
We have the will of the Country to exe-
cute, and cannot submit to the house of
lords, although they bear high sounding
titles and sit in a gilded chamber. The
next session will not pass without your
seeing this subject again appearing above
the waves, where it has for the moment
appeared to founder. The nation has
our course, and it is our duty and our
hope and belief __that we shall ,find, with
the help of the Almighty, means to reach
the goal.” .
