SHOT DOWN HIS WIFE
WORTHLESS DRUNKARD'S CRIME
AT MARSHFIELD.
I he Woman Who Would No Longer
Support Him Deliberately Killed
The Muidvrer Wounded by Marshal
Itlrod in Making the Arrest.
Marshfield, Or., Feb. 20. This com
munity was thrown into a fever of ex
citement this alternoou when it was
learend that Carl Albright had shot
down his wife in cold blood.
Albright had been very cruel to his
wife for a number of years, and his
treatment became so bitter a week ago
that she left him and in t situ ted divorce
proceedings. Albright did his utmost
to get her to return, and yesterday said
that he would talk no longer, but
would kill her. Today v after Mrs. Al
bright returned from , doing a day's
washing for the family of John Preuss,
in Soutn Marshfield, he made good his
threat. ' . .'
Albright walked up to his wife and
placed a revolver to her back, firing
nve shots, the first two taking effect.
Alter the first shot, Mrs. Albright fell
to the ground, and the other lour shots
were tired after she was down. ' She
was dead when picked up.
- When his dastardly deed was com
mitted, Albright turned and pointed
his revolver at himself, as if he were
going to take his own lile, and then
took to his heels, to get out of reaoa ol
tue officers. William Webster shadow
ed him in his flight, Albright keeping
him at a respectable distance by threat
ening to shoot. Webster pointed out
Albright's hiding place to Marshal El
rod, who went up to him and ordered
him to hold up his hands; but Al
bught only held up one and was in the
act uf shouting at Elrod when the lat
ter fired. The third shot brought the
wife-murderer to the ground. At first
it was thought that ' Alrbight would
die, but on examination it was found
he had received only flesh wounds.
Two bullets struck him, one in the
right shoulder and one in the right hip.
Albright is now in the hospital. The
feeling is very bitter against him, and
a "necktie party" is talked of. Mrs.
Albright was a woman who bore a
good reputation in this oommunity,
and made' a living for both herself and
husband at the wash tub and by ' any
work she could get. Albright is a
worthless wretch, given to the drink
habit, and was drunk when he killed
his wife.
To Search fur ansen.
Chicago, Feb. 20. Recent reports
concerning the return of Dr. Nansen
lrom the north pole has induced a Chi
cago syndicate to consider the advis
ability of dispatching, a party at once
to the Lena nver fur the purpose of as
certaining the foundation lor the ac
counts received, as well as to assist, if
possible, the returning . explorers in
their probable march toward either
Yakutsk or Irkutsk.
The man selected to lead the party
is Evelyn B. Baldwin, the meterologist
uf Lieutenant Peary's north Green
land expedition of 1893-4.
Much information concerning the re-
gipn to be traversed, as well as special
lacilities for expediting Baldwin on
his journey to Siberia, has bBn afford
ed by Monsieur A. S. Savine, Cerate de
Touise Lautre, now in Chicago, who
is connected with the Siberian railway
In an . interview ; Baldwin said:
''Barring such information concerning
Nansen's whereabouts as would make
the proposed trip inexpedient at this
time, 1 shall go direct from San Fran
oisoo to Vladivostok, on the Pacific
coast, more than 8,000 miles from St.
Petersburg. From Vladivostock to
Irkutsk, the first 450 miles will be by
railway and the remaining distance by
post Twenty-two days will be oc
cupied in making the transit. The
time to be consumed between Chicago
and Irkutsk will be about fifty days. "

DOINGS OF CONGRESS.
Routine Work of the Fifty-Fourth Ses
ion Senate.
Washington, Feb. 20. The session
of the senate today lurnished a suc
cession of breezy incidents. Little ac
tual work was accomplished, but brief
debates on a number of subjects devel
oped frequent sharp personal exobanges
between the senators. Hill had a
lively tilt with Tillman of South Caro
lina during the debate On Peffer's reso
lution for a senate investigation of the
recent bond issue. Allen joined, issue
with Gear of Iowa and Woloott over
the course of the Paoifio railway com
mission in conducting their inquiry.
Chandler and Cockrell had an ani
mated ' but good-natured colloquy,
and Hawley and AIJoj had a difference
somewhat less good-natured. Two ap
propriation bills, the military academy "
and the pension bill, were patsed dnr
ing the day. Efforts were made to
amend the military academy bill by
increasing the number of cadets by
two from each state, ninety in all, but, '
after a debate of three hours, the plan
was defeated. The pension appropria
tion bill, carrying $142,000,000, was
passed after ten minutes' debate.
Washington, Feb. 21. The Cuban
question came before the senate today
for definite and final action, and . it is
expected that votes will be taken at an
eatly day on the several pending prop
ositions requesting Spain to lecognize
the belli gereuoy of Cuba, and request- ;
ing a recognition of Cuban indepen
dence. The first thing of importance :
in the senate ti day was the reading of
a resolution from the secretary of treae
ury as toooin and other money in circu
lation, which was ordered piiuted fur .
the use of the senate. The senate then
spent some time in disoussiug the ques
tion of official procedure. Sqiure re
ported favorably a bill reqim ing that
marine engineers be Amerioan citizens.
Minor bills blocked the way for some -
time, but Call finally bad the Cuban
resolutions oalled up, and they ' took -
up the time until adjournment.
, House. ; ' " T .
Washington, Feb. 19. The agricul
tural appropriation bill occupied the
attention of the house today. A great
deal of criticism of Secretary Morton '
was indulged in on both sides of the
political aisle, but, as on Monday, not ;
one arose to his defense. At last, - -Pearson
asked if there were not some
member, Democratic, Populist or Re-
publican, who would raise a voice iu .
his defense. His question was greeted
with a chorus of "noes" from all Bides
of the house. , An . amendment was
penidng when the houte adjourned,
making mandatory the exeouton of the
provision in the bill for the distribu
tion of seeds. It is understood Cousins
will offer an amendment, directing the 1
secretary of the teasurry to withhold .
the payment of Secretary' Morton's
salary until this provision was exe
cuted. ' '; ' !
Washington, Feb. 20. The house
today passed the agricultural appropri- -
ation bill. It carries $3,158,192. The
section of the revised statutes for the
purchase and distribution of "rare and
uncommon" seeds, which ' Secretary
Morton declined to execute in the cur
rent appropriation law, was repeated,
the appropriation for seed was in
creased from $130,000 to $150,000 and
its execution was made mandatory
upon the secretary. Cousins intoduced
his amendment to reduce Mr. Morton's .
salary from $8,000 to $25 until he ex- .
pended the appropriation in the Cur
rent law, but the amendment was
ruled out on a point of order. A restf-
lution was adopted direoting the com
mittee on ways and means ' to investi- '
gate the effeot the difference in ex
change between gold and silver-standard
countries has upon the manufaotur-,
ing industies of the United States. .
The house went into committee of the
whole and resumed consideration of
the agricultural appropriation bill., .

road and wagon-road grants was passed.
An amendment was adopted limiting
the application of the act to "railroad
and wagon-road grants." The fol
lowing proviso was also added to the'
bill: "That no suit shall be brought,
nor shall recovery be had for lands
whioh were , patented in lieu of other
lands covered by grants whioh were
lost or relinquished by the grantee in
oonsequenoe of the failure of the gov-,
ernment to withdraw the same from
