a little two-story house on Davis avenue, Kearney, an awful tragedy occurred at two o'clock Sunday morning, resulting in the death of one man, the probable death of his wife and brother-in-law, and an attempted murder of four children. Thomas Hewitt, the central figure in the tragedy, lived on the second floor with his wife, Adel, and four children and Fred Purcell, his wife brother, a young man 22 years of age. Three weeks ago Hewitt was compelled to quit work because of his illness. Dr. Allers, the family physician, diagnosed the case as typhoid fever, and one week ago Hewitt was compelled to take to his bed.

The family was poor aud could not have Ja doctor in daily attendance, but he left word to be sent for if any change occurred the patient's condition. Saturday night at 11 o'clock Hewitt became irrational and called on his wife, who was in constant attendance, to pray for him. She was about to call her brother, who was asleep with the children in another room, when the patient dropped into a heavy slumber The wife, who was fatigued by her long vigil, grasped the opportunity to take a little sleep, and threw herself wearily on the bed with the children. Two hours later she was startled by a noise in her husband's room, and. peer- through a small window, she was lio'rrined to sue him standing the center of the room, nude, with his underclothes lying on the iloor shreds.

Before she could move he rushed into the room, and to where she sat on the side of the bed, and said: "Del. my hour has come; 1 have got to die. 1' or God sake, pray for me." The next instant he darted out of the room into the kitchen, and before his wife divined his intention, he reappeared with a large carving- knife in his hand. Fright rendered the terrified woman speechless and unable to move, and in the next instant he plunged the long, keen blade into her shoulder, inflicting a wound six inches long. As he raised the knife for another blow, Mrs.

Hewitt grasped the blade with her left hand, and he drew it away, almost severing the hand in two. All this happened in less time than it takes to relate it, and not a sound escaped, but Mrs. Hewitt's brother was BATTLE ON THE ROOFS.

midnight battle on the roof tops along Wcht Folk street Saturday night resulted in the arrest of John IJurke, John Shea and Chris Susgressen. The five police officers engaged in the conflict were sent from the Maxwell street station to arrest Burke on an indictment by the May grand jury, which charged him with murdering David Labowsky. at 395 West Kyler street, March 2, Since the killling of Labowsky Burke has kept out of the path of the police.

He sent several shots toward the officers, but none took effect, Two patrolmen subdued Shea and SusTessen and prevented further inter ference from that source.

WASHINGTON-, Aug.

Murphy's resolution that there should be 10 more tariff legislation at this that the senate ought to ad- ourn at the earliest possible moment, down the curtain upon the last act of tariff legislation. The passage of the Murphy resolution and certainty that no free sugar bill can come out of the finance committee is causing such an exodus of senators that it is not likely a quorum can be mustered in the upper branch of congress Monday. Thc is really no further business to be done, except such as can be transacted by unanimous consent. Everything waits upon the return of President Cleveland from his journey to cure malaria. Discussion in the meantime is rife as to his action upon the tariff bill.

In his absence, and without any message from Gray Gables, this discussion is purely theoretical. The action of the treasury department in sending out copies of the tariff bill to all collectors of customs looks like an anticipation that the bill will become a law. The inference is not absolutely warranted, however, because it would be the duty of the treasury department in any 'case to place the bill in the hands of every customs collector as promptly as possible, for the reason that should it receive the president's signature the law would go into effect immediately, as in the -form in which it reached the president it BECOMES A LAW.

Again he raised the knife, and Purcell, like his sister, attempted to ward off the blows with his right hand, with the result that his fingers were almost severed from the hand.

Into the front room he dashed, and in the next in.stancc he plunged through a window to the ground below, where he was picked up a few minutes later, luu-onsrious and bleeding from a hole on the top head. The child's shriek had aroused John Torhune and his son.

They found Hewitt naked on the street. He had received concussion of the brain, and died at 7 o'clock. There are slight hopes of the recovery of Mrs. Hewitt and her brother. The child is painfully, though not necessarily fatally wounded.

It is considered by many friends of the administration, most of whom are as much in the dark as its enemies, by no means certain that President Cleveland will not veto the bill. There is good reason to believe that the week that opens Monday will see the close of the second session of the Fifty-third congress.

Their voracity is not satisfied half dozen senators who have been lingering here for fear their presence might needed. On Monday others will follow their example and the quorum of the senate will be gone until December. Senator Harris, however, is one of the very few senators who claim that something must and shall be done with the popguns before an adjournment is reached. He states that the latter can not be had until next month and that he alone will hold congress here.

When Senator Harris' resolution for the appointment of Senator White, of California, to the vacancy on the finance committee was laid before the senate at 12:15 Saturday, Mr. Manderson said there would be no objection to the resolution and explained that the opposition Friday contained no reflection on the senator from California, Mr. White. Mr. Hill concurred with Mr.

Manderson and expressed the hope that the resolution would be passed. It was then adopted without division. THE I A PACIFIC Sold Under the Hammer for the Amount of Its Debt, S500.OOO. ATLAVTA, Aug. Georgia Pacific railway was sold under foreclosure.
