Erie. Dec. 7.—Edward Cady killed
two of his children and himself at hia
home in this.city.
Cady waa a victim of the morphine
habit, and become a physical and mental
wreck. A few days ego he administered
a heavy dose of morphine to his 0-year-
old son Walter. It seemed that the child
must die, and Cady was much worried
over the possible consequences of his act.
Later, however, the child began to re-
Washinoton, D; C., Dec. 7.—Public cover-
interest now centers upon the tariff bill
the time when it will be presented and
passed. That the bill will be reported
to the house next week admits of no
doubt, Wednesday will probably bo the
day.
It is likely that the consideration of
the bill will be commenced in the house
just prior to the holidays. There must
be a considerable Tevenue raised.in some
way, the cutting of duties on the neces
saries of life making this imperative.
The imposing of an incomo tax finds
many advocates, not because they be
lieve in such a measure per so, but
preferable to the position.
It is probable that the tax on playing
cards, cigarettes and inheritances will
be increased, and a 1 per cent tax oncer-
tain corporate investments imposed.
These features have not, as yet, been de-
decidod upon, but this or something sim
ilar will be adopted.
VoorhcM to The Front.
Senator Voorhecs opened his pension
campaign in the senate by introducing
two bills, one declaring a pension a
vested right, regulating the suspension
of pensions and granting appeals to the
supreme court of the district of Colum
bia; the other, definding sundry crimes
Against the United States in the admin

The New York Official File* Ills Answer in
the Courts.
Buffalo, Dec. 7.—The answer r!
Sheriff August Beck to tho charges pre
ferred against him before the governor
has been completed. It was prepared by
John Cunneen, of the law firm of which
Lieutenant-Governor Sheehan is a mem
ber.
Sheriff Beck denies that he neglected
to serve two warrants upon James Ken
nedy, as commanded by a judge of the
superior court, and affirms that he did
serve tho warrants on the same day as
issned.
The sheriff denies further that he was
a party to any conspiracy to prevent the
free exercise of the franchise, and af
firms that he has always endeavorod to
exercise his official power so as to pre
serve peace and order.
In conclusion, he says:
“I require and demand that said per
son who made the said charges against
me may make good the same by legal
and competent proof.**
STAHLMAN WILL NOT RUN.
Thu Die Railroad Official Is Nat a CahdI-
data far Senator.
Atlanta, Dec. 7.—A great many ru
mors have been spread recently about
the candidacy of Mr. E. B. Stahlman
for the position of United States senator
from Tennessee.
Mr. Stahlman was questioned in re
ference to this matter, and he replies:
“No, I am not a candidate for any
thing."
“You have a great many friends who
would bo glad to see you filling that
position,” remarked the reporter.
“Well, I have a great many friends
and some enemies,” answered Mr.
Stahlman, “and I think my friends are
the best of the lot. But I am not a can
didate for anything. I have os much os
I can do in my present position.”
BIG FIRE LOSS.
Norfolk. Va„ Dec. 7.—Fire was dis
covered in building No. 15, 'steam Jengra*
eering and general stores at the navy
yard, at 7:80 a. m. The alarm brought
out the fire department of the navy yard
and the city of Portsmouth. The origin
of the fire is unknown, but is thought to
be a defective fixe.
It started on the second floor, where a
lot of waste was stored. The building
was 7tx250 feet, and two stories high.
It was entirely destroyed with its con
tents. It is impossible to state the loss,
but it is thought it will reach $350,000.
An inventory of the contents of the
building were taken recently. The pa
pers were saved.
Her Body la the Rains.
Birmingham. Ala., Dec. 7.—The resi
dence of Mrs. Lucy W. Wright, in Bes
semer, a suburb of this city has been de
stroyed by fire. The body of Mrs.
Wright was found in the ruins. She
was supposed to have had a considerable
amount of money and it is believed that
she was murde: -*1 and the house set on
fire to conceal the crime.
Then Cady slipped out and borrowed a
revolver, and, on his return, induced his
wife to leave the house on an errand.
When she had left he placed the revolver
to the head of his eight-year-old daughter
Bertha and shot her dead. He next
killed little Walter in a similar manner.
He then aimed a shot at his son Bert, but
missed, and Bert ran out and summoned
lii« mamma.
Mrs. Cady’s arrival was apparently
most opportune, for little Hazel, the
baby daughter, stood by in baby wonder,
and would probably have been the next
victim. Instead, when Cady saw his
wife, he pat the smoking muzzle to his
own head and sent a ball through his
brain, in spite of his wife's entreaties.
Mrs. Cady picked Bertha’s body up
and grasped Hazel by the hand and ran
out, not realizing at the time that the
child she carried was dead.
Mrs. Cady believes that it was her
husband’s intention to kill the entire
family.
To Sell Only a Fart.
Chattanooga, Dec. 7.—Judge H. B.
Tompkins, of Atlanta, representing the
Central Trust company of New York,
presented a petition to Federal Judge
Key, asking that the United States cir
cuit court at Knoxville affirm the decree
of sale of the Marietta and North Geor
gia, and Knoxville Southern railroads
recently made at Atlanta. The petition
was opposed, and Judge Key denied it,
and the sale ordered at Atlanta will
only include the portions of the roads
located in Georgia.
Mrs. Lease Roundly Scored.
Olathe. Kan., Dec. 7.—Warfare that
has been going among the bead officers
the Deaf and Dumb institution of this
city for two months has resulted in the
discharge by the board of charities of
Steward T. L. Dixon and his wife, the
matron. Dixon denounces Mrs. Lease
in connection with his dismissal.
“When I get through exposing her,** he
vehemently declared, “no political party
will claim her.” Dixon is high in the
councils of the populist party.

Few of the strikers have any funds and,

suffering will resist.
