THE CRIMES OF A DAY.
CLEVELAND, OHIO, HEADS THE
LIST.
A Deaperate Woman Kills Five of Iler Chil
dren and Then Suicides—A Triple
Tragedy—Mexican Horse Thieves
—Other Crimes.
James Cabaleke is a well-to-do carpen
ter, of Cleveland, Ohio. His wife was
out of temper at the breakfast table
Thursday morning and refused to talk to
her husband. After he and his oldest
son went to work, the mother sent two
sons, aged fourteen and fifteen, on er
rands. When they returned they could
not get into the house. In the back yard
they found a younger brother bleeding
from many wounds. They speedily
called help and broke into the house and
found their two little sisters, aged live
and three, and a brother, aged three,
dead from many stabs. A girl of eight
was seriously hurt, and she with the boy
found in the back yard will probably die.
A bloody pair of shears told the story. A
hunt was made for the mother. She was
found in the cellar hanging from a rafter,
dead. She had killed her three children,
mortally injured two others and had then
suicided. The two children who were
still alive were removed to a neighbor’s
house. No cause for the terrible deed is
given. The husband does not think that
his wife was insane.
A TRIPLE TRAGEDY,
Two Strange Men Assassinate a Young
Mun and are Afterwards Killed.
William E. Mead, aged 27, was mur
dered in cold blood Thursday evening,
being shot through the head while stand
ing on the stoop of his father's store, on
Railroad Avenue, in White Plains, N. Y.
Two men were seen running away from
the store after a pistol shot had been
hteard, and Chief of Police Lee, with two
officers, at once followed them.
After the shooting the two men jumped
into a sleigh and drove away, but having
mistaken their way returned to the vil
lage and were fired at by Chief of Police
Lee and both of them killed. Great ex
citement prevails in the village over the
tragedy.
The murdered man was highly esteem
ed by all who knew him, and was not
known to have an enemy. He leaves a
wife and child. No motive for the mur
der can yet be assigned. On the bodies
of the murderers were found two new
sheath daggers with ten-inch blades, one
new mask, four heavy revolvers and time
tables of the Harlem and New York city
railway. Both men were strangers here.
MEXICAN HORSE THIEVES.
Large Number of Hemes Stolen—Two Men
Murdered.
The report that Jack McLane and Fred
Aberdeen had been murdered at Farmer’s
ranche near Hudson, in Grant county N.
M., has been confirmed. A neighbor
going to his ranche found McLane lying
dead on the ground near the house with
three bullet holes in his body. Just in
side the house Aberdeen’s corpse was
found on the floor. He had a bullet hole
through his head, from which blood and
brains had oozed. The bodies of both
men had been stripped of all valuables,
including clothing, boots and weapons,
and the murderers had also ransacked
the house, carrying away everything of
value. After completing their*work the
thieves stole the horses owned bv McLane,
and then went to Indian Springs where
they gathered in six more horses belong
ing to Mr McLane. The excitement
caused by the affair is intense all through
Grant county. The perpetrators of the
outrage are believed to be a part of the
same gang of Mexican thieves and rob
bers wiio were concerned in the killing
of Deputy Sheriff Hall some time ag<*
and if they are caught they will certainly
be lynched.
A DOUBLE MURDER.
Particulars of a double murder near
Murfreesboro, Ark., have ’>een received.
Arthur Miller and Miles Wallace, while
returning to their homes in the country,
were attacked from ambush. The assas
sins numbered three persons and were
armed with rifles. Wallace and Miller
attempted to defend themselves, but
without effect. Miller was shot three
times and fell to the ground, dying al
most instantly. Wallace escaped, but is
believed to be mortally wounded. The
assassins were uninjured. Miller had
lived in the country many years and w'as
unpopular, having shot a number of im-n
with whom be had personal encounters
IMPORTING ENGLISH PIG IKON.

CONSTITUTION’S CENTENNIAL.
The President Sends it Message Regarding
Its Celebration.
The President has sent the following
message to congress:
T<> the Senate and House of Represen
tatives: As a matter of national interest,
ami one solely within the discretion and
control of congress, I transmit the ac
companying memorial of the executive
committee of the sub-constitutional cen
tennial commission, proposing to cele
brate, on the 17th of September, 1887, in
the city of Philadelphia, as the day upon
which and the place where the conven
tion that framed the Federal constitution
concluded their labors and submitted the
re-ult lor ratification to the thirteen
-fates then composing the United States.
The epoch was one of the deepest interest
and events worthy of commemoration. I
am aware that as each state acted inde
pendently in giving its adhesion to the
new constitution, the dates and aniiiver
-aries of their several ratifications are not
coincident, so action looking to a national
expression in relation to the celebration
| of the close of the first century of popu
lar government under the written consti
tution has already been suggested, and
whilst stating the great interest I share
in the renewed examination by the Amer
ican people of the historical foundation
of their government, I do not feel war
i anted in discriminating in favor of or
against the propositions to select one day
or place in preference to all others ; and
therefore, content myself with convey
ing to congress these expressions of pop
ular feeling and interest upon the subject,
hoping that in a spirit of patriotic co-op
eration, rather than of local competition,
' fitting measures may be enacted by con
gress which will give the amplest oppor
tunity all over these United States, for a
manifestation of the affection and the con
fidence of a free and mighty nation in the
institutions of the government, of which
they are the fortunate inheritors, and
under which unexampled prosperity has
been enjoyed by all classes and condi
tions in our social system.

BOARDED BY BANDITS.
A Texas Train Robbed ofa Large Amount
Sunday morning, as the eastbound
Texas and Pacific express was pulling
out of Gordon, a small station sixty miles
west of Fort Worth, two masked and
armed men jumped on the engine and
covered the engineer and fireman with
their revolvers. The engineer was forced
to pull ahead until the train reached if
high trestle two miles cast of Gordon,
As soon as the engine and baggage and
mail car had passed over the trestle, the
1 train stopped, leaving the passenger
coach on the trestle. At this point the
masked men were reinforced by six as
sistants. The robbers then went through
the express car, taking ail the money and
valuables in the safe, the amount being
estimated at from $2,000 to $15,000, al
though the Pacific express officials re
fuse to state the exact amount stolen.
The robbers then proceeded to the mail
car, where they obtained twenty-eight
registered packages. The passengers
were not disturbed, and their coaches
being on a high trestle they could not
get out to assist the train men. There is
no clue to the robbers.
CHILDREN UNDER WATER.
Ten Minutes Under Water and are Rescued
Alive at Last.
A sewer a quarter of a mile in length,
running under Niagara Falls Ont., forms
part of the bed of Muddy Run creek,
which, during thaws in winter, is swol
len into a rushing river of large volume,
which empties itself into Niagara river
over the precipice near the whirl pool
rapids. This river was running fifteen
miles an hour Saturday evening, when
Bertha Farrel, aged four years, who was
seated in a hand sled, slid into it. Her
sister Blanche, aged ten, jumped in after
her, and both were swept into the river.
A rush was made for the other end of the
sewer, and men secured by ropes, jumped
into the water and waited for the chil
dren to appear. Bertha came first, under
the water, and Blanche followed on top.
When taken out both were apparently
I lifeless, but after much difficulty both
were resuscitated. The children were in
the water ten minutes, most of the time
| submerged.
accident to a yawl.
The yawl “Outing,” on which Captain
F. A. Claudman left St. Augustine, on
a voyage around the world, was wrecked
in a storm on Tuesday last at a point on
the Florida coast a few miles north of
Jupiter inlet. Captain Claudman and
mate, George Miller, saved themselves
from being submerged with the boat by
, using kerosene, which stilled the waves
and abated their fury. The boat and
everything was lost. The men had an
extremely narrow escape from drowning.

OUR BIG BOOM.
Further Evidences as the Intlnx of Northern
Capital Into the South.
The boom in Alabama continues. Bir

house. Sheffield has its sixth furnace.
Decatur four new furnaces. East Bir
mingham, the largest foundry and ma
chine works in the South. Mobile an
anti friction metal foundry. Florence a
hundred ton furnace. Elyton a SIOO,OOO
dam. Gadsden two one hundred ton fur
naces and water and gas works, and the
new town, Besemcr City, a $500,000 roll
ing mill. The influx of Northern capital
continues unabated, and a majority or the
heavy capitalists now developing the re
sources of Alabama and Tennessee are
officered and conducted by well known
Northern men.
In Arkansas, the DcSha Land anCs
Planting Company, lieadquarters at Ar
kansas City, and owning 65,000 acres of
cotton and lumber land, are putting Up a
SIOO,OOO saw mill and engaging over
1,000 hands in planting. An ituniense
brewery is to be erected in Little Rock,
and copper and gold in paying quantities
have been found near Golden City. A
fourteen feet thick vein of fine coal has
been struck at Bartleville, Indian Terri
tory. Two fifty ton charcoal furnaces

Tenn.
THE RIDE TO DEATH.
Four Tramps Burned to Dentil in n Ixicked
Freight Car.
As a special freight train of nineteen
cars, loaded with cotton was pulling into
Paducah, Ky., on the line of the Chesa
peak, Ohio and Southern railroad Mon
day, one of the cars was discovered to be
on fire. It had been taken on and locked
at Memphis, being transferred from the
Louisville, New Orleans and Texas rail
road at that point. The engineer backed
on the side track and the crew endeav
oted to extinguish the flames with hose
attachments. All they succeeded in doing,
however, was*to prevent the fire from
spreading to other cars. While removing
the debris of the burned car, four dead
bodies, charred beyond recognition, were
discovered. They are supposed to have
been tramps. Whether white or black it
is impossible to say. The car was locked
at Memphis, but the men must have en
tered to their horrible fate through a
window in the end, which could have,
been opened from the outside.
A WOMAN ON FIRE.
Mrs. Butler, an old lady living with
her family, at Athens Ga., was standing
near an open fire Tuesday, when she dis
covered that her dress was ablaze. She
was by herself in the house. She rushed
out of doors to go to the river, but before
she had gotten out of the yard was
enveloped in flames from her clothing.
Frantic with pain and fright she began
tearing them from her and when first
seen was sitting on the frozen ground
trying to pull off her stockings all that
was left on her. Dr. Benedict was at
once summoned, and reached there in
about fifteen minutes. When it was
found that she was literally blistered all
over, and some places the burn extends
through the skin. Her left hand is badly
burned.
