STATE JOTTRXAT,, MOXOAY EVENING, DECEMBER 17. 1894. SHOTTHElKSfECTORS tV Suspected JJank Clerk's Crime at Council BluiTs. He Shoots the Men Going Over His Accounts. THEN KILLS II 131 SELF. Tlie Two Inspectors Are Prob ably Fatally Wounded. Co UN-err- V.t.vff", ora, Dec. IT. At 11 o'clock yesterday a trag-edy was enacted in the private office of the Citizen's Suite link of Council Bluffs, which may resuit fatally for three persons. Joba Hunting-ton, assistant bookkeeper and collection clerk, shot G. A. Cromwe'l of Minneapolis, arid F. N. Hayden of Chicago, repre sentatives of the Fidelity Casualty company cf New York, and then emptied lis re vol re r into his own Wain, inflicting- a roaoJ from which he died two hours later. Cromwell and Hayden, it is thought, will re cover. Huntington was one of the best known me a in Council Bluffs and numbered hi.i friends by the hundreds. So far as can be learned, he had no tad habits and this is what makes his act the harder to explain. Huntington ha i been accused of embezzling a v.o check and the fidel ity representatives were sent hero from New York last Friday to make nn in vestigation. They cross-examined each of the bank employes through whose hands the missing check had pa -s; 1, rind amnn the rest, Huntington. They claimed to have discovered that lie had b?en spending more monr than the salary of $45 a mo ith, wh eh he was receiv ing, w o ii 1 warrant, and on this fact r.nd the fact that ti e check had been last seen in his hauls they baed t h e i r suspicions. II -,i t: t i n Ttrn and the representatives cf the. Fidelity eo-njxny met Saturday night and male arrangements for Hcothcr nie--tirvr at the bank Sunday morning-, when the investigation was to be resumed. At. the hour ap pointed t i were together, and Cromwell and hay len commenced to p u t the y on i g m ant h ro a t h a ruanin? i-ros ti re o:' quest rni President J. lihrmhon ar.d Cashier C. 11.

Advices from Apia, Samoa, of date December B, are to the effect that the well known novelist, Kooert Louis Steven son, had died suddenly from apoplexy. His remains were interred on tha summit of Pala mountain, 1,300 feet high. At the tim-s of his death Mr. Stevenson had ha f completed tha writing of a new novel. He was born in Cdinburt-h Xove nber 13, 1330. He was educated at t rivate schools and at the university of Edinburgh, and was called to the Scottish bar, but traveled and devoted him self to literature. One of his earliest works was an acsojut of his travels in California, but the work which es tablished h.s repuation as a writer of fiction was "Treasure Island," published in Is S3. Among- the most popular of his works is "Dr. Jekyll i 1 Mr. Hyde", which was dramat ized and played at the Lyceum thea ter in Loud on in IS-id ana snbsequent ly iu the United States, Among" his other works are K.:d napped," "The New Arab. an Nights", "The Black Arrow.

Cov eruor Foster was asked for an ex pression of his opinion of the so-called gdove contests in the light of the tragic outcome of the Lavigne-llow-en tight. Tiie governor expressed him self as firmly opposed to such ex hibitions, lla said; I have always been very positive and emphatic in my opposition to the gdove contests as" carried on in New Orleans by pro fessional prize fighters. 1 regard it as a brutal exhibition, tending to de moralize public sentiment and in no wise calculated to elevate the tone of public morals in the community. "When the effort was made to have the CorLett-Mitchell ii-ht take place in New Orleans I determined to ex haust all the power of the state to prevent it and so declared at t i j time. Snbseouent to this, the riht of ath letic clubs to have such exhibitions was taken into court and is still pend ing. I urjed in my ni. to tiie leg-islattire the passing of a law declaring- q-love contests of tiiis kin 1 a criminal offense, and several li s were introduced to that end. but for some reason no bill was passed. "Tiie unfortunate termination of the Lavinpre-Howen contest ac centuates t ie importance of prohibit ing any such further exhibitions. A sound, healthy pub ic sentim nt has outlawed the exhibition in almost every state in the union and I be lieve the great body of the p -o;de of this state are unquestionably- opposed to makinsr Louisiana and es-ieciall v New Orleans the, scene of suju brutal contests." Champion Corl-tt Talk. Dallas, Texas, Dec. 17.- lames J. Corbett, beinjf asked what he thought of Lavicrne killing ISowen, said: "Truly, I'm sorry to hear it- As to the blow, I do not know what kind of one Lavijj-ne used, but it must have b en a terrible one. One reason why so many more neci.lents attoiui b'xincr these days is that the boxers p.ek out vital spo's on which to strik.i a man and, with added sk'iL are able to reach their aim more often. Tlie boxers of to-day are more sc t-ntitic than those of former days, a no to tli .s alone may be charg-ed most of tho re cent accidents." Crlll Jln irn l il Ian li-pr.rt!l WAsnrN'GTON-, Dec. 17.

To f;:e Iailtor ot li e m ai e .Joi :i;n .11.: Permit me to say iu regard to the ar ticle in Thursday evoumg's Jolrnal, relative to the pbins of the Associated Charities, that a little practical experi ence in dealing with the question would no doubt change the opinions held by tiie writer of tlie same. It is a fact well known by all who have l een engaged in charity work in this city that there is a larjre and growing class who regularly plan to live upon charity during the winter montlis; with whom poverty, the appearance of desti tution and a t-juohirig tale of their desire I ut inability to obtain work constitute their regular stock in tra ie. As a mat ter of fact they are destitute of every thing except a thoroughly cultivated de terinniation to live in idleness upon the fruits of other men's toil. So plausible ars their tales 01 woe and eo consistent with their destitute surroundings that their worthiness or un worthiness can only be proven by offering- them the work which they profess to crave. The writer of this already has a liot of about twenty families having one or more able bodied men w ho have been heard to de clare their intention of living- upon the Associated Charities this winter. A large number of tho above have already ap plied for assistance, and have shown themselves in fuil accord with the Jour nal's declaration, tiiat to require them to work for what they get or ro without, is an u ldue cruelty, and that tuey would rather starve (ur steal) than submit to the degradation of breaking atone for public imp rove me ut s. da the other hand, there are numbers of men Having families to provide for, who would consider it decidedly humiliating- and degrading- iu its tendencies upon themselves anil their children, to ask for or accept aims while they were able to work. And while the first named class are holding indigmalion meetings relative to the propped stoua yard, the latter are coming to us to inquire when the work will be ready, aud expressing their satisfaction that they are to be pro vided with some means whereby ttaey may oi tain food for their children, in re turn for honest labor. Waltlk L. IU-ss, Sec'y A. C. The Journal dues nut doubt that a number of persons will apply fur work on the rocitpiie, but there is a much lareer class of worthy poor who shrink from being seen ia such a public place as applicants for charity. These the Associated Charities will never reach with the rockpiie plan. They will simply surfer in silence as they have before. Of course this class will f arnish a large field fjr individual and private charity, ani those who believe that in charitable work, the bible injunction, "Let not thy right hand know what thy left hand doeth," should be followed, will occupy the held. The rockpiie aa a means of scarinsr away undeserving people is a good thing, but as a means of helping the best class of the poor, it has its draw" tacks as previously pointed out.

They Will Scarcely Occupy the Time of tiie Court Here Any More, In some of the federal districts the United States attorneys have been or dered to di smiss the caes against the men who particip -ited in the A. It. U. railroad strike last summer, and who were cliartrdd with obstructing the pass age of the mails and the provisions of the interstate commerce law. There were several cases of strikers in the Uuited States court here which were set for trial at the present session of the United States circuit court, but they have not been heard nor will they be. Just af'er the strike and during the ex citement attendant with the trouble there were a great many arrests of men who were cunrged with interfering with workmen who took the places of strikers. In some cases the deputy marshals arres ed men for the most trivial offenses. They were placed in the Shawnee county jail where they were generally left a day or two and then taken before Judge Foster who lixed a day for trial, but instructed the Uuited States district attorney to accept their own recognizance if no bondsmen could be secured. The men were then released with an im plied understanding that if there was no more cause fur complniut their cases would never be tried and they have not been, for no man was arrested a second time. United States District Attorney Perry says he has received no instructions from Attorney General Olney, and if he does not receive instructions to the contrary, none of the cases will be tried. The ap plication for a temporary injunction was to have also beeu heard, but Mr. Perry says that these proceedings will also be dismissed unless there is more trouble, and as this is not at all likely, the iuj unc tions asked for by the Santa Fe railroad against 1,000 men, including Judge Frank Duster, Eugene Debs and other well known agitators, will become an cient history. 1. nip.

FIGHT IN CAPITOL SOU ARE Poker Hill and Chicago Jim Figbt to a Draw Saturday "igbt- Sunday about 1 a. m., Capitol square was graced or disgraced with a CUt be tween pugilists. Two Topeka Bporta, one of whom is commocily known as '"Poker Bill," and another, a new sport in' town who has been dubbed Chicago Jim." pot into "an argument" over the prize tisrht at New Orleans which resulted in Lavigne killing Andy liowen. 'Chicago Jim" contended that it was brutal and carrying- the sport en tirely too far. Bill, he of the I'oker norn do plume, said it served him right, and that when a man put his foot into the prize ring- he did so knowing- its risks and taking his own chances. The argu ment became so heated that the sports began calling each other "names" and they went to the northwest portion cf the grounds and "had it out." There were no gloves, but it was conducted scientifically with a referee. They fought until both men were severely bruised and the olds seemed to favor the man who held that prize fighting wasn't brutal, when by common consent the fight was declared a draw. The event was witnessed by about a dozen select friends of the principals. The light was a bona tide engagement, 'lhe full name of "Poker Bill" "and "Chi cago Jim" are unknown. TWO BANKS FAIL. The Citizens and Savings Bank at Slater, 31o., Close. Kansas City, Dec. 17. A special to the Star from Slater, iio., 6ays: The Citizens Stock bank of this place made an assignment to Commissioner P.

The cash on hand in the Stock bank amounts to something over 2,0O0, while that of the other is about $10,000. The fall of tlie Stock bank will prove serious to several of its depositors. -11 U S ICAL FARCE CO MED Y. 'A Kailroail Ticket" Will lie at the Grand Tomorrow N 1 14 li t.

This piece and this company have been to Topeka before, and Topeka liked it. The piece is said to be "em bellished with a combination of melo dious melodies and concords of sweet sounds." And, as though that might not be enough to secure it a welcome, the further announcement is made that it ia "interspersed with reels and rattling good fun to enhance its value." James T. Kelly, who is well known as a come dian, is with the company again this year. A WHOLESALE THIEF. lie ia Operating-on Harrison Street tuite Successfully.

The People of Bronson Taken in by Swindlers. Three Sharpers Sell Them a Patent Washing- Compound. ALL CLASSES DUPED. The 3Ien Leave "With 41,000 and Other Property. Fort Scott. Kan., Dec. 17. The residents of Bronson and vicinity, a few miles west of this city, are wrought up over the fact that a num ber of their citizens have been swin dled out of cash, stock and property to the extent of at least 8-3, uoo by three sharpers who professed to be the inventors of a washing compound, for which they claimed wonders, and for which they were selling state and territorial rights. They came to Bronson about two months ago and claimed to be brothers, giving their names as Difiie from Little Rock. They explained the merits of their mysterious washing compound and soon sncceeded in working up a great interest in the new fluid. Bankers, farmers, merchants and mechanics all caught the money-making fever and wanted to purchase territory in which to sell tlie labor having preparation, and soon con tracts were being closed in all parts of the little city and the closely sur rounding country. Many prominent business men, other reputable citizens and farmers secured territory, paying for it in cash, fine stock and mortgages on their farms and property. A few days ago the three wily scoundrels gathered together their property, consisting- of some 11,000 in cash, first mortgatres on some of the best farms in the county, to tlie extent of some S-O.OOo. and three car loads of fine horses, ana without notice, left the country. Tlie stock was consigned to them selves at Little Rock, and from this it is supposed tliey are now in that city. Many of those whobought territory refuse to believe that they have been swindled and that they have a for tune in sight, but the more conserva tive of the victims now see that they have been plaved by professional swindlers and that the territory they have purchased haa already been sold several times before. This is one of the boldest and by far the most successful games ever attempted in this part of the country and it seems almost incredible that such conservative men as those men tioned could be made the victims of such a scheme.

The American board of commissioners for foreign missions, more than any other mis sionary organization in America, cen tralizes its work in behalf of Armen ians in Asiatic Turkey. Its Western Turkey mission began in 1S19, its Eastern Turkish mission in IS 30 and its Central Turkey mission in 1847. These three missions comprise fifteen stations, L'CS out stations, 45 mission aries, 1 medical missionary in Eastern T itrkey, 42 married women and 73 unmarried women; in fact it em ploys 701 native laborers. These laborers occupy 290 places for stated preaching, secure average congregations of 30,747 persons. The Sabbath schools number 2(3,204. The adherents are estimated at 46.S64. There are 112 churches with a mem bership of 11,451, of which 4.4:4 were received within a year. The educa tional work is extensive. There are four theological schools, 29 theologi cal students, 31 colleges, high aud boarding schools for boys, 20 col leges, high and boarding schools for girls. Tiiere are 372 common schoJ;, containing 10.S33 pupils. There 1,501 others under instructions. The grand total of persons under instruc tions consists of 19, !80 persons. The contributions of the natives last year to the American board amounted to .;i4,7aS. These facts do not include the work in European Turkey. Xumerous inquiries have been received .from the press from the congregational constituencv in the United fstates which has induced this conservative organization to furnish the following statement re lating to "Affairs in Turkey." "We are not unconcerned about' I lie report of the massacre in Eastern Turkey. The position of the 177 mis sionaries of the American board with in the Turkish empire is an extreme ly delicate one. Sympathizing deeply on the one side with all who are suf fering by reason of poverty, op pression and misrule, they have yet been loyal to the government under which they have lived and have never countenanced sedition of rebellion. "It has been their blessed privilege while preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ, to aid the poor, to protect as far as possible the oppressed, arid to deliver from unjust officials multi tudes who have been arrested or im prisoned. It is not necessary for our missionaries, after these scores of .tears of devotion and devoted labor for the native race of Turkey, to prove their sympathy with the suffering and oppressed by joining others who, at a safe distance from the scene of danger are passing vigorous resolutions in condemnation of the wrongs inflicted. They are doing their best amid no little peril to themselves, in the interest of those for whom they have long labored, but our readers can well understand that for the sake, both at the helpers and of the helped, it is inexpedient for us to present a full statamjnt of all we hear and believe. "In the Sessouu region south of Mush plain there are or were many Tillages inhabited by Armenians. These people were systematically robbed of their flocks by Koords and in the latter part of the summer the Armenians pursued tlie robbers in their endeavor to recover their property. In the tight which ensued a dozen of these Koords were killed, among whom were some who were enrolled as Turkish soldiers. When information was given that the Armenians had killed some of the sultan's troops, the charge of rebellion was made and orders were sent to put down the in surrection. The result was these law less and iincontrolled soldiers made indiscriminate slaughter of the people who had sought to defend their prop erty. "In the horrible massacres which followed thousands were slain, some state 0,000, others 10.0O0. The details of this wretched affair are not ob tainable even by those near the scene. They will never be obtained unless foreign governments insist upon a thorough investigation conducted by foreigners Tlie poor people are in terror and dare not state the truth unless tinder protection. "These stories of wrong and op pression have aroused the civilized world. We are glad to learn our gov ernment has directed one of its con suls to make au independent investi gation of all matters connected with the reported massacre. But our gov ernment does not stand in the same relation to Turkey as do the European powers, that, tin. lor the treaty of Berlin, secured the right of seeing that good government was maintained throughout the Turkish empire The right thus guaranteed ought now to be exercised, and tlie first .steps j should be tiie most thorough lnve-ti-i gation as to the conduct of affairs throughout Armenia. We can not doubt that the European powers will I attend to their duty. The winter is not a favorable time for visiting j Eastern Turkey, where the snow is often eight to twelve feet deep.
