THE CRIME. Pagels killed Samuel Kohn on November 10, 18S5.

He had been employed as foreman of the tannery of the Brooks Hide Company, and had an old grudge in for Kohn, who was foreman of a rival tannery, that of the Norman Brown Hide Company. Pagels was a drunken, worthless fellow, and Kohn was an industrious, hard-working man. Kohn got considerable custom from Pagels. At 6:45 o'clock on the evening of the shooting Pagels went to the tannery where Kohn was eai-Dloved and had the man called out. When visiting her sister, Mrs.

An effort was made to have the United States Supreme Court take the matter up, but Justice -Harlan refused last week to issue a writ of error, and yesterday word was received that Justice Miller had also refused to issue the writ.

Mr. Ives bothered himself only to smile at this naive suggestion, saying archly: "We don't think we will do that just right away.

We are contented where we are." Then there was talking out in the meeting. Mr. Ives is not fastidious; otherwise he might have suffered, for some of the words that he had to listen to were not exactly art-works of politeness. The smile broadened perceptibly yesterday when the creditors and shareholders talked about the unsatisfactory situation and suggested that they would be mightily relieved to see his. heels disappearing out of the whole business.

No formal action has been taken in relation to the President's visit to the city and his entertainment, because the time of the visit is not definitely known. The plan of entertainment has. however, been generally outlined. "The President's entertainment will be undertaken by a committee to be appointed by me." said Mayor Francis this morning. "I shall probably appoint that committee within a week and call a meeting to consider the plan of entertainment.

This will not be so easy, because the State wtll be represented in the reception and entertainment. The gentlemen from the counties who went on to Washington expressed their willingness to join us in entertaining the President, and their participation in the reception will have to be considered in making up a programme."
