The would be leaders of the Democratic
party will find out pretty soon that the
people will only trust those who have
.stood faithfully by the party on all Occa

have to fall back in the ranks or tender
their resignations. Neither Pennsylva

will lie called upon to furnish a leader.
It can hardly lie possible that Secretary
Chandler induced Senator Edmunds to
make use of the government war vessel
Yantic to bring the ladies of his family
from Nassau to Charleston with the hois-of
killing him off as a Presidential candidate.
It seems that the Yantie affair is damag
ing Edmunds’ boom. It is said that Mr.
Edmunds intends to pay every cent of the
cost of the trip. That will hardly help
the matter.
The Blaine boomers are very kindly'
hinting that President Arthur’s friends
should advise him to withdraw from the
Presidential race, and 60 save him the
humiliation of a crushing.defeat. It is
siot probable, however, that as shrewd,a
politician as Arthur will be taken in by
any such tactics. While his strength.is
not developing altogether in accordance
with his desires, he cannot be consid
ered as badly beaten yet awhile.
The Victory of the Tariff Reformers.
The Morrison bill is before the House.
The Republicans and Mr. Randall’s squad
of protectionists opposed its considera
tion. The vote was very close—so close,
indeed, that it was not known whether
the consideration ol the bill was defeated
or not until the announcement
of the vote. For the next
two or three weeks, in all probability,
the Congressional Record will be filled
with speeches on the tariff. Mr. Morrison
iu his opening speech stated, what is
generally conceded by the tariff reform
ers. that the bill does not go tar enough.
It does not make as great reductions as
it ought to, but it will do for a beginning.
It does one thing of great importance at
this time, and that is that it shows that
the Democratic party is thoroughly in
earnest in its efforts in behalf of tariff
reform. It proves that the party, when it
adopted a platform calling for a tariff for
revenue, meant just that and nothing
less. The bill may not get through
the House in its present shape, but
it is pretty certain to get through in some
shape. The Republicans and the protec
tion Democrats mustered their entire
strength yesterday, and they failed in their
purpose. If they oppose the final passage
of the bill they will doubtless fail
again. When the bill is through
the House the responsibility of
defeating it, if it is defeated, will rest
on the Republican Senate. If the Re
publicans tiiink that the people want to
continue to pay war taxes while the
surplus revenue is being piled up in the
Treasury at the rate <>t a $106,000,000
a year, let them refuse to pass
this bill. They ean afford to vote
against it in the House, because no re
sponsibility attaches to them, but in the
Senate the situation is different. Not
withstanding their pretensions against
the bill they don’t want to shoulder the
resjionsiliility of defeating it. Mr. Morri
son has been criticised for being so slow
in bringing up his bill, but it is probable he
understood what he was doing much
better than those who found fault with
him.
The Kleetoral Count Kills.
It is not believed that any measure for
counting the electoral vote will l>e passed
this session. Tliere is no question that
such a measure is necessary, and that it
should be passed at the earliest possible
moment. Grave complications in count
ing the next electoral vote are not im
probable. There may be three candidates
in the approaching national contest, and, if
there is, it is not improbable that there will
be trouble about the count. The warning,
of the dangers of the present system of
conducting the count, received in the Til
den and llaycs contest, ought to be suffi
cient to influence Congress to act without
unnecessary delay. The House bill on
this subject is to be taken lip on the 22d
of this month. It was reported favorably
to the House a few days iig*>. It may pass
the House, but there is no prospect that
it will meet with favor in the Senate. The
Senate lias already passed an elec
toral count bill. hut the House
shows no disposition to con
sider it. The Senate bill is a Republi
can measure, and is, therefore, frowned on
by the House. The House bill is a Demo
cratic measure* and will, therefore, be
regarded with disdain by the majority
party in the Senate when it reaches that
body. It looks as if there would is* no
steps taken to avoid the dangers of the
present system of counting the vote as
long as the political complexion of the
two houses is different. Kaeh party
seems to prefer taking the chances of
serious trouble in connection with the
count to giving the other party a
possible advantage. It is claimed that
the House bill gives the Democrats the
advantage, because, in a joint convention
of the two houses for which the bill pro
vides. the Democrats would have a ma
jority. They could, therefore, count or re
ject the vote of any State that did not
meet with their approval. The aim of the
Senate bill is to force the State in which
the contest arises to settle all disputed
points respecting the vote. When the vote
is counted in Congress, however, if
there is objection to the vote
of any State that vote cannot be
counted except by the concurrence
of the two houses. That is a bad feature,
because it jnight not be possible to get
always the concurrence of the houses,
particularly if the count happens to be very
close, and the addition of two or three
votes to either side would give the side
getting them the victory. Surely it ought
to lie jMissible to frame a bill relative to
the electoral count that would meet with
the approval of both parties.
Chandler's Partial Success.
Secretary Chandler succeeded in get
ting the Senate to vote an appropriation
for several new cruisers. His success,
however, will not lx; permanent. There
is not the least probability that tbe House
will agree to the amendment, which the
Senate tacked on to the naval appropria
tion bill, providing for these cruisers. It is
questionable whether the amendment, un
der the rules of the Senate, could properly
lie made to the bill, but Mr. Edmunds,
the President of the Senate, ruled that it
could. Mr. Randall, the Chairman of the
House Appropriation Committee, declared
in the beginning of the session that his
committee would not consent to an ap
propriation for new cruisers. It is not
probable that he will reconsider his de
tenu illation, and it is about certain that
the House will sustain hint in tin 1 stand
lie has taken. Wliat Chandler and his
Senatorial friends tire preparing for is a
conference committee, by means of which
they hojie to accomplish their purpose.
It remains Jo lie seen whether the Senate
can bulldoze tin* House into abandoning
the wise and safe position it lias assumed.
There are two reasons for not making ap
propriations for additional new cruisers
al present. One is that it is not certain
that those now being constructed will
prove to lie successful. The plans uj>n
which they are being built have been
severely criticised by competent engineers
in this country and Enrols*. It will lie
soon enough to vote millions for other
cruisers when it appears that those
already ordered are not failures. The
other reason for not voting more money
for cruisers at present is the lack of confi
dence in the integrity of Mr. ( handler.
It is feared that lie is a 6ilent partner of
John Roach the shipbuilder. The ease
with which Roaeli gobbled the contracts
for all the cruisers ordered by the Forty
seventh Congress affords some foundation
for this fear. A navy is needed, but no
great barm will come front a little delay.
Mrs. General Grant keeps pretty well in
the background these days. Once in a
while, however, she says something that
brings her to the front. In Washington a
day or two ago sin* said that she was glad
that the General was not nominated at
Chicago in ISSO. Being asked her reason,
she said: “Oli, it be had liccn nominated and
elected he might have been assassinated
by some crank like the one who killed
poor Gen. Garfield. It is so disreputable
to U* put out of life by a crank. To die
for sweet revenge is one thing, blit to lie
snuffed out 4>y a worthless crank is posi
tively ignoble.”
It must be admitted that to lx* snuffed
out by a worthless crank is not a very de
sirable way to shuffle off the mortal coil.
Tlie proceedings before tlie Senate sub
committee on Privileges and Elections
were quite lively yesterday. The efforts
of John S. Wise and Sims to bulldoze
Senator Vance was an ignominious fail
ure. “Old Zcb” lost his temper and used
an ugly word or two, while Senator Sher
man called a halt, in order to to
compose his nerves and devise some plan
to shield his jx.*t, who was the real cause
of the Danville riot. Undoubtedly Sher
man’s great moral show created a sensa
tion yesterday.
It is said that David Davis wants Secre
tary Lincoln to come out in an open letter
announcing that he is not a Candidate for
the Presidency. This is rather queer ad
vice from a man who spent a good part of
his political career on the fence. Lincoln
is on the fence now, so far as the Chicago
nomination is concerned. He says that
he is not a candidate, and that he could
not remain in Arthur’s Cabinet if he were,
but notwithstanding this his name was
used in the Chicago primaries against
Senator Logan.
Bond Calls and the Gold Reserve.
The failure of the Secretary of the
Treasury to make a bond call on the Ist
of April lias occasioned some comment.
As he has been making calls about once
in six weeks for a year or more a call was
expected on the Ist of this month. The
Secretary has not furnished any rea
son why he did not make a call as ex
pected. It is said, however, that he was
influenced by two reasons; One was that
the bonds that would have come
within the call were largely held
by banks, as a basis for circulation,
and that the Secretary did not want to
disturb the banks while legislation look
ing to their relief was pending. The other
reason was that the practice is to pay
gold for bonds, although the law now is
that bonds may be paid for in either gold
or silver. There has been such a large
exportation of gold to Europe lately that
the Secretary does not think it advisable
to pay out any more than is absolutely
necessary at present. Gold is being
paid out at the rate of $250,000 a day. Up
to April 12th over $2,500,000 was’paid out
this month and at that date the reserve
was about $6,000,000 less than it was when
at the highest point in March. Under the
law gold certificates cannot be
issued when the reserve falls below
$100,000,000. The amount is a good deal
more than that at present. These two rea
sons may not be the ones that influenced
the Secretary not to make a bond call
on the Ist of April, but it is thought pro
bable that they are. The amount of gold
certificates outstanding on the 12th of
April was $60,250,000, and the net amount
of gold in reserve was $141,060,000.
If the interview of the Congressional
delegation with Mr. Tilden yesterday is

Mr. Lamb, or somebody, however, appears
to have been somewhat befuddled, or Mr.

The recent mysterious burning of a
large tenement house in New York lias
caused a revival of the- question of the
danger connected with steam pipes used
for heating purposes. It is asserted that
there is no case on record where the ori
gin of a fire lias been traced directly to
such a source. The popularity of the
steam heating system among insurance
companies is evideneeof its safety. Steam
jets are urgently recommended as a useful
auxiliary in subduing tires.

Tilden s Literary Bureau.
Philadelphia Press (Rep.).
Mr. Tilden is accused of putting his literary
bureau into operation again and flooding the
offices of Democratic newspapers with printed
slips of articles declaring for instance; “if
Mr. Tilden were nominated he would not
dare to decline. He is too much of a patriot.”
"if the party consults its own interest it will
nominate Mr. Tilden without consulting
him, and so place the responsibility for Novem
ber squarely upon his shoulders.” Mr. Til

a peculiarly diplomatic sort of person. .

On the ferm of John Reese,near Kimberton,

With regard to the Cieur d’Alene excite

many of the intending miners from setting
out. Recent reports from Eagle City repre

have left the country aud have gone to their
homes. The population is melting faster than
the show drifts. Every day these disappointed
men fold their tents (all they had to live in at
the “metropolis”) and steal away—all that is
worth stealing in that wretched region. It is
fortunate that this bubble has burst so early
in the season, before many of the would-be
miners and prospectors, especially from the
Kast, have started. From all accounts those
who do go are likely to meet a returning
stream of disheartened, disappointed men,

They are learning bow to advertise in
Paris. A curious scene was witnessed the
other day in a fashionable quarter. A fash

well know n cafe; then, having managed to
attract some attention, he sauntered un and
down the garden, finally seating himself at a
small table. To him came a person who,
from the conversation, proved to he a tailor,
and who accused him in warm words of being
ungrateful, stating that he had dressed him
on credit for live years. The young fellow
fired up and declared himself insulted. A
crowd gathered and eager ears listened to the
high words. Finally, to convince his quon
dam tailor that another house was cheaper
and better, the late client pulled out the bill
for the garments he wore. The name, price,
address, etc., were read aloud, and the ojien
mouthed crowd drank it in. The enterprising
tailor who got up this little drama found his
profit.

nearly H 8 years of age, was delivering a lec
ture bn chemistry the other dav at the Paris
Museum of Natural History. Referring to a
certain phenomenon In chemical change he
said: “This fact was first mentioned to me in
1804 by a Leipsic student named Schamberger,
or Scliomberger. lam not sure which. It is
curious, but I am beginning to lose my mem
ory for names.”
Cipriano La Gala, “the most ferocious
brigand of modern times.” died the other day.
T.a Gala became a brigand chief in Southern
Italy in 1800. It is said that fifty murders
have I icon traced to him. Ilis robberies were
countless. For several years lie has been
chained to a wall in a prison at Porto Kerraio,
on the Island of Elba. Ilis little eyes were
jet black and his black beard reached half
way to his waist.
Mr. Cabi.b, the novelist, has given his last
reading for the season in New York. Those

AVAYCROSS NOTES.
Church Affairs—Prosperity of the Town
—Other Matters of Interest.
Correspondence of the Morning Mercs.
Wayckoss, April 15.—1n the absence of
business and other exciting or moving causes
the ladies of the various Christian denomina
tions arc getting up festivals for church pur
poses. Last week the Baptists held theirs,
with. I learn, gratify To-night
the Methodists will hold theirs; tlie ladies and
some of their gentlemen friends arc making
big preparations, ll is to be hoped they too
will meet with the success their efforts de
serve.
Our Superior Court was held here last week.
His Honor, Judge M. L. Merslion presiding,
with ids usual ability and satisfaction. Quite
a number of cases, civil and criminal, were
disposed of, but none of any importance ex
cept that of the State vs. John McKithern,
found gtiilty of murder and sentenced to hang
on the 2:id of May. an account of which has
already been published in the News. It
really seems n little strange that up to last
year there had been no legal execution of the
kind in Ware county at any time within the
memory of the oldest citizen. On the 18th
of May. 1883, Henry Knight expiated his
crime (murder) on the gallows, and now,
within a year and one week from that hang
ing. we arc to have another such scene. Both
these criminals arc negroes who came from
the Carolinas, the former front South and the
latter from North Carolina, as turpentine
hands.
Politics begin to interest the people a little,
but not much as yet. Our local paper has
nominated three of the members or our bar
and one merchant for the lower house in the
Legislature. One of tlie lawyers lias declined,
but the other two and the merchant are still
up. It is impossible to sav who the next
iiewspaporial nominee will be, but if it keeps
on at this rate by fall there will be a good
many more than “six Richmonds in the
field.”
Waycross keeps on improving all the time.
Within the past Iwo months a large number
of building lots have been purchased, on some
of which good, substantial buildings are going
up. In some portions of the town property
lias enhanced in value, iu no portion has it
depreciated.
Rumor lias it that anew paper is to lie
started here, but the scheme has not assumed
sufficiently definite proportions for me to give
you any positively reliable information just
yet.
Our esteemed Mayor, Dr. W. I’>. Folks, re
turned from Florida a shirt time since,
whether he had gone to recuperate his sadly
shattered health —somewhat improved—but
not sufficiently so to resume his duties. We
all wish for his speedy and thorough recovery.
A KION.
THE COUNTERFEITERS HELD.
Given a Preliminary Trial at Canton
and Sent to Jail.
Canton, Ga., April 15.—Monday Com
missioner Perkle and Deputy Marshal
Garrison, in answer to the Sheriff's tele
gram. arrived til Canton to try the coun
terfeiters. Witnesses were summoned
and court convened Tuesday. P. P.
DuPree appeared for Charles Bennett, one
of the accused, and Newman and Atta
wav for Van Speer, the other.
Tlie proof against Bennett was direct
aud the evidence of his guilt undoubted,
the mould being found in his house.
The evidence against Speer was the fact
of his having in his possession a small
quantity of the counterfeit coin.
Mr. Bennett had sewed up in his under
garment a burglar’s saw, and Mr. Speer
had a large knife concealed about his per
son. The accused parties had a fair triaj,
and in default of a two thousand dollar
bond were committed to jail. In the even
ing Commissioner Perkle and Marshal
Garrison t(X)k the train with their prison
ers for Decatur jail, where they will await
their trial in the Federal Court in Sep
temlier next,
Mr. Blaine’s Candidate.
Mr. Blaine tells his intimates, says a
New York Sun special, that he has not
organized any movement looking to the
nomination at Chicago, lmt, at the same
time, if the convention should offer him
the leadership, he would accept it. In
saying this, however, he admits the nomi
nation is not probable, owing to prejudices
which exist against him in New York and
in other States, „
If Blaine should have strength enough
in the convention, after the principal as
pirants have been set aside, to control the
nomination bv a trade with the floating
votes, his influence would he thrown for
Gen. Sherman, whom he regards as the
coining candidate, He makes no conceal
ment about this preference, nor about his
intention, iu the contingency stated, to
make it effective by positive support.
Blaine and Gen, Sherman and their
families have been long intimate with
each other. They lived next door neigh
bors here for many years, and mutually
cultivated a friendship which does no’t
take in with any cordiality the General’s
brother, John Sherman. The eccentrici
ties of Gen. Sherman are well known to
leading Republicans, who would hesitate
about taking him for a candidate, but
they would take the devil on two sticks if
he could win the election.

State.
Similar premiums are also announced for
ornamental shrubbery and flowers, compre
hending roses, camellias, azaleas, ferns, cacti,
palms, etc., etc.
I have been perhaps somewhat prolix in
mentioning this matter at such length, iiut
tin* list has not yet been generally published,
and vonr large array of readers in this State
should have time for preparation, as many of
them will doubtless enter into the contest.
The municipal election resulted, as 1 wired
you, in the success of the entire Democratic
ticket, with the exception of one Alderman,
by handsome majorities. The day was quiet,
and no disturbances occurred. The new Coun
cil has been organized, the usual committees
appointed, and civic affairs are progressing
with the customary quietness.
There are forty-seven persons in this county
who draw pensions, varying from two to Ally
dollars monthly, from the government for
disabilities incurred during the late unpleas
antness.
In connection with this, it is pleasant to
note Hint subscriptions continue to he made
for the Confederate Home and that the move
ment is spreading to many points in tlie inte
rior. A round sum lias already been col
lected.
The trustees of the State Agricultural Col
lege met here last Saturday, and elected
Prof. Ashley I). Hurt, of Louisville, Ky.,
President of the institution. Prof. Hurt is a
graduate of the University of Virginia, and
finished his course in Germany. He is a gen
tleman of high culture and largo experience,
and lias tlie highest testimonials as to his effi
ciency, character and ability.
I’ro‘f. J. N. Whitncr, of Bartow, Palk
county, will fill the chair of theoretical aud
practical agriculture. This gentleman is
widely and favorably known throughout
Florida. Tlie remainder of the faculty will lie
elected in July. The college is located in Lake
City, and the building, it is hoped, will be
ready for occupation by October.
St. Augustine lias been selected as the lo
cality for the proposed deaf and dumb asylum.
There are 118 of these unfortunates iu the
.‘State. A handsome building for the purpose
will soon be erected on ground which has been
donated. St. Augustine is healthy and at
tractive, and a most suitable and judicious
site for this institution.
The hotels present a deserted appearance.
It is somewhat surprising to notice how very
rapidly our large concourse of visitors can
melt away. They all seem to take tlie notion
at once, and, like the migratory birds, take
wiug at tlie same moment. In so doing they
lose one of the most charming mouths of the
year.
THE LENTEN SEASON IS OVER,
and halls, marriages aud parties innumerable
are announced for the next fortnight.
The children connected with St. Joint’s
Church, Episcopal, some 500 in number,
united in a most beautiful and charming fes
tivity yesterday, in honor of Easter Sunday.
Willi waving banners and garlands of flowers,
they inarched into tlie sacred building, sing
ing joyous songs, aud tilling the large edifice
with youth, beauty and melody. The floral
offerings were heaped around the altar and
within tlie chancel, w hich were soon converted
into a brilliant nuts* of tlie choicest and rarest
productions of the flowery kingdom.
The Weather lias been quite warm for some
days and summer clothing was very generally
donned by both sexes on Easter.
Blackberries are coming into market, and
tlie average country darkey will devote all of
his leisure hours for the next month to gath
ering this healthy and popular fruit.
A large century plant on the outskirts of
the city is preparing to bloom. The flowers
closely resemble those of the bayonet plant,
have no odor, and are not remarkable for
beauty. W. H. B.
WASHINGTON SOCIETY.
Wliat Was Done Easter Monday.
The initial point of attack, says a
Washington special, for the social
world at the national capital Easter Mon
day was the meet afforded by the kettle
drum and bazar for the Garfield Memorial
Hospital. The fact is not very clear that
another hospital is needed here, but differ
ent factions in society, led by dissenting
physicians, became so torn up in mind
lately over the dreadful necessity of start
ing some bran-new hospitals and securing
huge appropriations from Congress to
support the dissenters and the hospitals,
that we were threatened with more hos
pitals than opera houses. Some have
dropped out of existence, and one other
lias announced its intention of merging
all its resources into the Garfield Memo
rial. So, whether we need it or not, we
are likely to have the latter in work
ing operation very soon. The entertain
ment is quite diversified in its features
and scope. It opened lip in the afternoon
with a Punch and Judy show, magic
tricks, etc., by an amateur conjurer, and
a kettle-drum front four to six, to which
the public was invited. Dozens of the
prettiest girls in society served the tea
tables and managed the flower, candy and
fantasy stalls. Tuesday evening most of
the* latter will lx* removed, and the eve
ning given up to dancing. The list of
patronesses who head the invitations are
those foremost in charitable circles, and
it is shrewdly thought came in simply to
aid this undertaking, so as to rely on the
more enthusiastic workers for the cause
when something else comes along. An
other hospital may he necessary here, but
so far no one is known to be suffering lor
want of it. However, on the eve of a
Presidential campaign, there cannot lx*
too many refuges of this description, and
no doubt the Garfield Hospital, which lias
the loveliest site about the city, will effect
much good.

An Inland Ship Carpenter who has
Passed Ninety Days Without Sleep.
A most remarkable ease of insomnia,
says a Wheeling, W. Va., special of the
12th instant, has just come to light in this
city. Joseph Saulsbury, a ship carpen
ter, about 60 years of age, has not slept an
Hour at a time, nor more than ten hours
in all, since January 1. Otherwise he
seents sound and healthy, and works
every day at his trade. When these facts
first became known his acquaintances
doubted the statement, thinking that the
matter was a dodge to gain notoriety;
but when Joseph and his family per
sisted that such was the case it was de
termined that two persons should watch
with him every night after his work. It
was done for five nights In succession,
and-during that time he manifested no
desire to sleep, spending.the night read
ing and smoking, and resuming his work
in the morning apparently as fresh and
invigorated as though he had just risen
front a sound night’s sleep. Since this
test was made others have watched him
closely; among them several physicians,
who are at a loss to account for this re
markable phenomenon. It is safe to say
that it has been at least ninety days since
Saulsbury’s insomnia commenced, and
all this time he has not been in bed.

A MACON MURDER.
Full Details of the Shooting of William
Landsberg by a Clerk.
William Landsberg. junior member of
the firm of M. Nussbaum & Company,
wholesale dry goods dealers, of Macon,
was shot and killed in his store by J.R.B.
Danforth, the entry clerk of the house, at
Macon Monday night between 7 and 8
o’clock. A self-cocking 42-calibre Smith
& Wesson revolver was the weapon used
and five shots were fired, four of which
entered the breast and one the left cheek.
Death was almost instantaneous, the
victim surviving only long enough to rush
out of the store into the street, and fell
dead before the door. The murder is 21
vears of age, and a son of the late Oliver
Danforth. of Macon. He was considered
a very quiet young man. After the shoot
ing he voluntarily surrendered himself
and was lodged in jail. The Coroner's
jury returned a verdict of murder. The
cause of the shooting was a dispute about
wages.
M. Nussbaum. the senior member of
the arm, testified that a week
ago I.andslierg discovered that, by an
oversight. Danforth had been drawing a sal
ary for nearly a year at the rate of a thousand
dollars a year, while he had been engaged at
$800; that'he. Nussbaum, called Danforth into
the office and stated the facts to him, and told
him he could pay the overdrawn amount back
at the rate of fib a month or quit. Danforth
said nothing, but his associates say he looked
very pale and desperate all day. "it appears
he entered the office at 7, found Landsberg at
his desk and riddled him with bullets. What
passed between the two men prior to the
shooting is not known, as they were the only
two persons in the store at the time. The fol
lowing statement was made by the prisoner
to a Telearuph ami Mesnenyer reporter:
"I was keeping hooks for (jus Nifssbaum
when he sold out in 1882. I had the
choice of staying with Doody or going with
Nussbaum. Mr. I.andsberg wanted me as
entry clerk, but I did not think I could fill the
position, never having done anything lmt
bookkeeping, and I declined (he place. This
was in February. In March I finally accept
ed the place, they, Nussbaum ft Cos., agreeing
to keep me eighteen months whether I pleased
them or not. 1 went there and received sr>o
per month. Afterwards my wages were rais
ed to flii, and when I.andsberg found out that
I was getting that m uch he said it was wrong,
and that I must pay back all
over SSO I received. I refused, and this
caused him to dislike me ami make it very
disagreeable. Cast summer, when Mr. Nuss
baum and Mr. Landsberg were iu New York,
I wrote to thorn asking for an increase of
salary to SI,OOO a year, Mr. Nussbaum sent
I.andsberg home to arrange the salaries for
the year. In the wholesale department, July
is the month iu which clerks are hired ami
salaries fixed. In the retail department
September is the month. Well, Landsberg
came back from New York, and he, with Mr.
Fried of the firm, arranged the salaries. I
satv the slip handed to the bookkeeper, and so
did Mr. Tom Rogers. In.Mr. Fried's own hand
writing, amt written with an indelible pencil,
was my salary fixed at SI,OOO, and I received
my salary at "those figures regularly. Lands
berg made it very disagreeable for me all
along, but I made up my mind to do every
thing he asked me, no matter how unreason
able it was, and I did so uncomplainingly.
ISut at last he became so overbearing that the
clerks noticed it, and 1 became frightened
lest i should lose my job, 1 had a mother and
sister to support, and I wa3 anxious about it.
I went to Mr. Nussbaum and asked him if 1
was giving satisfaction, lie told me as long
as 1 attended to my business 1 was all right.
This satisfied me and I continued on. Yes
terday morning Mr. Nussbaum and Lands
berg were in the office and both spoke to
me about the salary. They said 1 had taken
a mean advantage of them, and that I must re
ceive SOS and pay hack the difference of SI,OOO
a year. They said a great deal to me which
was very harsh and unjust. This worried me
all day and I made up my mind what to do. 1
thought this way about it: 1 could not sup
port my mother and sister on suidi a salary,
amt if 1 quit Landsberg and Nussbaum would
ruin inv reputation so I could not get sm
other place, so I thought I would kill Lands
berg. After supper 1 went to the store. He
got there a little ahead of me. I had no key,
and he let me in. There was no one about but
he and myself. After going in 1 went to the
closet and then returned and fired five
times. All the shots were fired in the
office. Neither one of us spoke a word,
After I fired the last shot he walked om
the side door of the office to the sidewalk and
fell. 1 came out after him and threw my pis
tol on the ground, auii going tip to two meu
told them to take me to the barracks.- They
were not policemen, but just then a crowd
came running up and with them an officer,
who brought me hero. If the law wants to
execute me for it fdo not care. I want the
public to know that I had a provocation for
what I did. I was so wrought up that I hardly
knew what to do, and what I did I was forced
to.”
Mr. Landshurg was buried yesterday
afternoon.
