Piedras Xegkas, Mexico, June 3.—A
few days ago Don Luis Curavaugej, of
the Bank of Durango, started to visit a
ranch owned by him 400 miles from
Durango. It was in the possession of
sqnatters and Caruvanges had often at
tempted to make them pay rent. Hi*
trip was fer the purpose of enforcing
payment. The squatters learned of
this and decided on the death of Don
Luis, drawing lota as to who should
commit the murder. Fcur men were
selected, and they ambushed and assas
sinated Caravanges and his servant.
When word of the crime reached
Durango the governor telegraphed to
the captain of the rangers at Tapona
and he proceeded with a body of picked
men to the scene of the tragedy. There
he learned the particulars of the plot
and the names of the consmrators.
They were arrested without difficulty.
Sixteen of the 22 have been summarily

tested, may be spared.

Chicago, May 31.—Late indications

gone wrong with the business some

although the number of people on the

TRAMMELL AGREED UPON.-
He Will Get HI* Commission as Collector
About August.
Washington, June 1. — Secretary
Carlisle has stated he had determined
to appoint Hon. Paul Trammell, of
Whitfield county, collector of internal
revenue tor Georgia, and that'his name
had been sent to the president.
The reason he does not commission
him now is that he has accepted Mr.
Johnson's resignation to go into effect
31st of August, and if he were to com
mission him it would take two months
off of his time, as all appointments
date from the time of the commission.

takers were in collusion in using tickets
a second and third time, and it was also
given out to the press that several ar
rests had been made and more would
follow. This may have been a proper
means of remedying the evil, but if it
was, it has signally failed in the accom-
airil not from the date of going j plishment^of its intended purpose. The
Mr. Trammell’s appointment has been
agreed upon since two weeks after the
inauguration.

board of management are beginning to
see the errors and abuses of one of the
most absurd pass systems ever in vogue
and if is from this cause most startling
effects may follow.
In their investigation so far they
have found that the photographic pass
with detachable couDons is not onlv the
thus having a record of the passes used,
is thwarted by persons tearing out the
coupon, throwing it away and going in
with a i)ass check, which they secured
the evening before as they passed out,
simply because the operation is quicker,
and thus the record intended to be kept
is lost.
Then, on account of the issuance of
these return checks to parties having
photographic passes, under the present
system, it is necessary to keep em
ployed at $2 per day 28 men at the 28
gates, besides the relief, and the fur
ther time necessary to keep count and
record of these slips makes in all an ex
pense of over $150 per day, which
might have been avoided had the super
intendent of the bureau of admission
adopted tbe simple, plain photo pass so
successfully and satisfactorily used at
the Centennial exposition.
But it is in the use of the working
men's pass where the greatest abuse
and mismanagement of the pass privi
lege comes in. A card pass issued to
Tom Biggsler or any other name is
given to workmen, on the bottom of
which appears a row of figures, one for
every day of the month for which the
pass was'issued. It was originally in
tended to punch the figures represent
ing that date as the workman passed in
the gates. No punches have been used
and as the passes are good for any per
son presenting them, workmen go in
today, get a pass for the whole month,
they are absent tomorrow, but their
friends are not. There is 50 cents
saved—to the workman.
Then, again, the workman wants to
work that day, and his friend wants to
see the fair. It is not a difficult matter
for a number of them to hire a messen
>r to carry letters to their friends, and
ms 10, 20 or a larger number of per
sons come in from one working gang.
A workman is discharged, and some
times his pass is taken np and some
times it is not. One authentic instance
shows that four persons passed in at
one gate on the same pass within 10
minutes' time simply by one passing in
and then handing it out to a confeder
ate who stood by the exit turnstile. ^
A committee appointed at a meeting
of the executive officers and commis
sioners of the several states and territo
ries has drafted an appeal to the rail
road and steamboat corporations asking
that the fares on the different lines to
and from Chicago be reduced imme
diately. The appeal is made especially
in the interest of farmers, laborers,
mechanics, employes, pupils, etc., and
it is asked that round-trip tickets goo.i
on all roads be sold for one fare, to ei*
able the citizens of the several states
and territories to avail themselves ui
educational and other advantages pre
sented by the fair.

Tyrone, Pa., May 31.—A special

road, composed of Walter Main’s cirene
cars, got beyond the control of the train
men and came down the mountain with
fearful rapidity.
At Yail station the train was wrecked,
and the animals, men and broken cars
were piled up together. Several lions
and tigers made their escape, and only
after the greatest exertion were they
recaptured, and then not until one of
the tigers had killed several domestic
animals in the neighborhood.
Six men were killed ontright, 12 or 14
others badly wounded, some of them
fatally. The circus is a complete wreck
and will take several days to get the
property together. The wreck is one
of the worst that hss occurred on this
division and the worst in the number of
lives lost.
