A NASTY DAY IN NEW YORK.
New York, Doc. 20. New York was
enveloped in one of the most disagreeable
fogs to-day the city has seen iu many
rears. If was a veritable Scotch mist,
cold, clammy and suggestive of pneu
monia. During the day the city has been
in twilight haziness, and to-night the cn
tire absence ot electric lights, combined
with the dcascness of the fog, makes the
main thorouirbiures a diaagrceable spec
tacle, while the side streets are almost as
dark as pitch.
The impediaments offered to travel are
greater than has been observed before,
elevated trains running far behind time,
white tbe entrance to Brooklyn bridge
has been in a state of blockade all day.
While travel was at its hight on Brook

collision near the Brooklyn terminus.
The conductor of the colliding train re
ceived severe injuries. The pasengers

Kansas City, Dec. 20. At 10 this
morning word was received at the police
station that a general fight was in pro
gress at the corner of Fourteenth and
VVyoiniDg streets. A squad of police
men hastened there and found forty or
tii'ty men fighting with stones, clubs pnd
improvised weapons ot all kinds The
mob fled at sight of the cfiicers.
The lighting was caused by the refusal
of Contractor JIcNeely, la3ing the grade
of the Chicago, Kiiusas & Nebraska di
vision of the Rock Island road, to pay
his men this morning. Six men were
badly hurt. No arrests were made.
THE BECRET DIED WITH HIM. j
Helena, Mont., Dec. 20. The suicide
of J. C. McDonnell at the Grand Central
hotel yesterday recalls tbe Moore tragedy
of February, 1S86, details of which arc
still frcsb in the minds of the public.
The dead bodies of William Moore and
his wife were found in their house on the
Benton road, each riddled with bullets.
The tragedy was not witnessed, as far as
known, and tbe tbeorj at the time was
that the couple bad quarreled, appealed
to firearms aud killed each other, or that
possibly one killed the other aiid then
committed suicide. The mystery attend
ing their dtatb, however, was never
cleared np. Vr. and Mrs. Moore had
lived unhappily for some time prvioui
to the tragedy, and the woman's infidelity
to her husband was the sulgect ot com
mon talk.
The object of the fait hie s wife'a affec
tions was a school teacher at Dearborn,
whom many people thought knew more
of the tragedy than he cared to tell.
That teacher was J. C. McDonnell, the
man who suicided yesterday. So the last
actor In tbe most awful domestic tragedy
ever enacted in Montana has passed out
of the world, adding by his uuexplaihed
act of soif-destruction another mystery to
that already, connected with the Moore
tragedy.

the case of Mrs, lone Skeels who shot
and killed her husband, diaries W. Skeels.
in this city the first day of March, brought
in a verdict of acquittal after being out
forty-eight hours. Previous to btr mar
riage with Skeels, Mrs. Skeels was known
as -Broncho Liz." She met Skeels in the
Cccur d'Alene mines. Skeels at that time
had a wife and two children. He became
smitten with "Broncho Liz" and induced
her to dress in male attire and accompany
him to his father's farm where he intro
duced her to his family, jahe worked on
the place as a farm hand for several
months without her sex being discovered.
Skce'.s then sent her to Choteau, Mont.,
where ho" followed her. Subsequently he
secured a divorce fium bis wjle and mar
ried Broncho L'z" at Moscow, Idaho,
January 2, 1838. ' He ag-iiu sent her to
Montana, where she remained until Feb
ruary last, when she joined Skeels in this
city, where he was in business. He be
gan paying attentions to- other women,
and on the morning of March 1 his wife
learned he was in a building known as"Ac
tois' Fiat," where he had spent the night
with Frankie Howard, a variety actress.
Mrs. Skeels armed herself rith a pistol,
and proceeding to the building tutictd
her busband from tbe room by sending
word by a messenger boy that he was
wanted at his place of business. As soon
as he appeared in thtfball she fired -three
shots, all of which took effect. He died
tbe following day. Tbe trial lasted nine
days and excited great interest.
HORRIBLE BUTCHERY OF A WHOLE
fAMILY BY TUP FATHER.
Niles, O, Dec. 25; The comruuuity
was startled this evening by the discov
ery of one of tbe most wholesale aud
bloody butcheries that has ever occurred
in this section of the state. The victims,
five in number, are Charles Shelar, and
wife, and three children, and the crime
is supposed to have taken place at an
early hour this morning. When the in
human deed was discovered at 5 o'clock
this ercnipg, all five bodjes were stiff and
cold in death, wiih their throats cut from
ear to ear. Shelar and his wife were
lying together across the foot of the bed.
and the three children were on the floor
in different parts of tbe house. Shelar of
late drank heavily, and it is rumored that
be and his wife did not live hippily.
The theory advanced is, that Shelar, in a
fjt of madness, cut the throats of bis wife
and children and then bis own. Bhe'ar
purchased a razor 'on Saturday evening.
THE CALIFORNIA BAINS.
Colusa, Dec. 22. The river stands
twenty-five feet aoove low water mark
and is rising fast. It has been raining
steadily for twenty-four hours and still
continues. This afternoon there was no
prospect of clear weather. Nearly all the
larre landowners on Grand island have
suffered lo-,ss except A. 11. Iloie, otie of
the bend men in the reclamation com
pany. The gene: a! opinion is that his lands
will be flooded if the high winds now
blowing continue many more hours.
At Princeton, filteen miles above here,
the Sacramento river lacks only two feet
of being as high as at any previous
period.
A STEAMER ON A RANCH.
Sacramento, Dec. 22. While on the
way from San Francisco to this city last
night, the steamer Modoc got iuto a ter
rific current and was swept through the
broken levee of the Sacramento liver on
to the Payne ranch. The passengers were
badly scared and feared they wouid be
dashed to death against the buildings
and trees. The boat was unable to back
out. Finally a rope was made fast to a
tree and the pilot succeeded in turning
her around when she managed with dif
ficulty to reach the main channel again
THE WOUNDED SERENADERS.
Port Townsend, Dec. 20. Dr. Capron
returned from Lopiz island last nig'it,
where he had gone to attend tbe two
young men who were wounded by Phillips
wnen the men were serenading hua tue
night of ins marriage. Capron renorts
one of the men in a serious condition
while the other is in a fair way to re
covery. The feeling of the people on the
island is divided as to the guilt of Phil
lips. He will be brought here.
HEAVY LOSSES OF SHEEP.
Hed Bluff, Dec. 22. It rained in tor
rents last night and to-day a terrific wind
and rain storm prevailed, the worst of the
eason. The river is rising again and it
s rapidly nearing the sixtten-foot mark.
Stockmen claim to have sustained heavy
losses of sheep, aud if the rain rontinm-s
the loss will be equal to that of '77 and '78.

heavy down fall of rain in this city
nee morning. It is still raining. The

Victoria, B. C, Dec. 23. The sailors
employed on sealing schooners are on a
strike. They want $30 per month and
23 cents for each seal caught. The own

aud will do so.

DEATH OF HARVEY J. HUSTON.
Tacoma, Dec. 23. The death of nar
vey J. Huston took place last nignt,
every effort which mcdicar aid con'd sug
gest failing to counteract the etl'ec". cf a
date seed lodged in his bowels. This
evening tbe bar association ot Pierce
county adopted resolutions of appreci
ation, sympathy and condolence ior the
relatives and fiiendsof the unfortunate
attorney.
THE IDAHO PLUNDERED.
Victoria, Dec. 22. Captain L. Anger
stein, of the wrecked steamer Idaho,
complains that since be has been in this
port he has found the most avaricious set
of robbers it has ever been his misfortune
to run across. Instead of assisting him,'
he says his ship has been systematically
robbed by all concerned. His own pri
vate property, as well as blankets, silver
ware and all articles of a portable nature
belonging to the steamer, have been taken
by the people workiDg aboard of her
while she was stranded. The captain
feels highly indignaut at this sort of
treatment.
EDITOR WEST FOUND GUILTY.
Chicago, Dec. 23. '-Guilty, with pen
alty of five years in the state's prison
and patrncnt of $10C0 fine," was the
verdict returned to-'night in Judge Grin
nell's court against James J. West, ex
editor of the Chicago Timet. There was
little delay in reaching a verdict, only
two ballots being taken.
The crime of which West wa convicted
was the fraudulent over-issue of stock of
the Times company to the extent of 1250
shares, or equivalent to ovei $125,000 in
money.
BAKPALL's DAYS ARE NUMBERED
Washington, Dec.-23.-A prominent
Democrat and o!d personal political
friend ot Congressman llandail, referring
to the latter's ilmess, says: "I was iu
Mr. Kandail's room last week. I . was
amazed at tbe change which had come
over him. In my opinion he is living
simply by the force of bis will power.
He is dreadfully amaiiaitd, aud looks
Very haggard. lis voice is strong and
firm, and his mind is as clear as it ever
was, but it is plain enough to see that he
is a very sick man, a dangerously sick
man. He may live to take his seat in
the houne once more, hut J doubt it. A"
that the doctors can do now is to try and
patch up some of the frail links; but any
great exertion would cause these links to
snap, and that would Lc the end of him.
It would be criminal, in my opinion, if
the doctors shou'd allow him to try and
take his seat at thjs time. Mr. HaudaU's
day, I am afraid, is over.
DEEP SNOW IN THE SIERRAS.
Wells, Nev., Dec. 23. The heaviest

hours.
Sapramentq, IXc. gQ.-Thi8 morning
while a snow plow propelled by four ear

Chinaman, who neglected to get far
enough away. When the plow came
along it threw a mass of snow against
him, completely burying him. When
lound he was dead.
