FniT.n MARSHAL COUNT VON MOT.TKK is dead. He attended the session of tho Reichstag held at Berlin in the after­ noon. and in the evening he died. Tho physicians who were summoned an­ nounced that it was caused by failure of the heart. He passed away quietly and painlessly. The news of the Count's un­ expected death has caused great sorrow In Germany. Helmuth Karl Bern- hard von Moitke was born Oct 26, 1800. The first Napoleon was then in the zenith of his glory, and his star continued in the ascendant during all the earlier years of Moltke's boyhood. The name? of the Corsican cast a shadow in all those years over every German fireside and gave color to the character of the rising generation. Every German youth burned with the ambition to assist in the humiliation of France. But few of them lived to give such reality to their dreams as did Von Moitke Before the opportunity came, the great majori­ ty of the boys of Napoleon's dx had aet a foe they could not conquer. in SLAIN BY THE RIPPER. Bwiibto Bu'chery of a Dltaolnre Wonts Nf* York JACK THE RIPPER is boiievod by the police to have at last come to New York. In the East River Hotel, the body of a wretched woman was found with her abdomen horribly cut and her bowels protruding. Her name is not known. The resort in which her body was found is one of the lowest in the city. The woman was known about the neighbor­ hood as one of the half-drunken creatures who bang about the low resorts of Water street and the river side. She came to the hotel in company with a many who registered as Knicloi and wifa The couple were assigned to a room on the upper floor and went to it at once. Nothing was seen or heard of them during the night. No cry or un­ usual noise was heard. In the morning the attendant rapped on the door of the room occupied by the couple. There was no answer and he rapped again, with no better result, and finally broke in the door. A horrible sight met his gaze. On the bed lay the woman in a big pool of blood. She had been dead for hours. CONFLICT AT WALLA WALLA. I117 IVrsont Killed In a Battle Between Cltiima and a Hob of Soldier*. WORD comes from Walla Walla of a to'oody conflict between 150 soldiers and a sheriff's guard. The peculiarity of the affair is that it was probably the first instance recorded where soldiers, armed and uniformed, h%ve resorted to mob violence against the civil authorities. A. J. Hunt, a gambler, became engaged in an altercation with Private Miller and struck him in the face. Miller ned the blow and was getting the of the fight when Hunt drew a re- r from his hip pocket and shot r dead. A mob at once collected. Sheriff, fearing an attempt to lynch unt. swore In a number of citizens as special deputies, armed them witu rifles, and placed them inside the jail, with instructions to guard the prisoner at all hazards. The jail was surrounded by fully 150 soldiers, who demanded the socrender of Hunt. The Sheriff refused, hot words were exchanged, and several of the deputies fired upon the soldiers, who answered with g VQlley. THEIR STANDING. The Ftragch for th • L«agus Pennaat Is Sow Warming I'p FOLLOWING is a showing of the stand- of each of the teams of the different associations: force, the deputies returned, and pitched battle took placo between the Sheriff's posse and about 300 Hungarians --men and women--in which a Hun­ garian girl was killed and others injured, among whom are several deputies-.' Evic­ tions will take place at Leith, and trou­ ble is feared. One hundred and eight Pinker ton men. are stationed at Lies- fring, where eighty-five men are at work in the pit. ., , , MEMBERS of the Hamilton and Schuy­ ler families ha%e joined in a petition to the Mayor of New York, asking that no place be designated in that city as a lo­ cation for the public fountain for which the will of Robert Ray Hamilton provid­ ed. Those who oppose this use of money disclaim pecuniary interest in the mat­ ter. Their objection Is based upon family pride. They are very sensitive for tho good name of the families upon which Alexander Hamilton and General Philio Schuyler brought distinguished honor. Such a memorial as the wi!I designates would, they believe, perpetuate a name that brought dishonor to the family. AT Boston. R. T. Almy & Co., clothiers, have assigned. The concern did a large business and the liabilities will be heavy. MRS. MARV SrLi.TVAV, aged 65, re­ siding in Pittsburg, arosa from her bed, secured a carving knife, and made a desperate assault upon her husband, who was lying upon the bod asleep. Before the old man could escape he had received a bad gash on the left side, had one hand almost severed from the wrist, and a deep cut in the throat. Sullivan finally took the knife away from his wife and ran to the door to call help. Mrs./Sullivan went up stairs ami with a razor cut a terrible gash iji her own throat. Mrs. Sullivan has been slightly demented for two years and will die. Mr. Sullivan will recover. MRS. MARY WATSON*, white, aged 62, has been convicted at Philadelphia of murder in the second degree, in being accessory to the killing of John Smith, colored. Smith was killed by Mrs. Wat­ son's son-in-law during a quarrel. WHILE Frank V. Emerson with his wife and child were driving at East Leb­ anon, N. H., the horse had a fit and plunged into the Mascoma River. Mrs. Emerson was drowned. AT New York there are three men sick with yel'ow fever on board the United States and Brazil mail steamship Ad­ vance, which arrived from Rio Janeiro. Three others were so ill with the dread disease that they were landed before the vessel reached port Dr. Skinner, of the quarantine health office, reports that the crisis of their disease has been passed and that there is no danger that infec­ tion can spread from them. The vessel will be detained for fumigation. There were no steerage passengers.

JlTKlK Jo-N S. UlNdHAM, a Well known New York lawyer and counseloi for Jay Gould, died at l'lainfield, N. J " - 7 EASTERN OCCURRENCES. AT New Haven, Conn., Michael Demio, an Italian, was murdered. Angelo Pet rillo, a brother-in-law. is under arrest THREATS have been turned to violence mad violence has again caused death in the Pennsylvania coke regions, with the result that Company C has been called to the scene of the tragedy, and all is iu a ferment. The county officers went to jAdelaide, where they made two evic- tions, after a great deal of trouble and opposition. They were then overpow- ;«»d by the strikers and driven away, pe-enforced by Sheriff McCormlck and a THK CRASH AT THB SIDING. engines, three mail cars, and one bag- jrage car were completely wrecked. 'Sone cf the passenger cars left the track, and none of the passengers re­ ceived serious injuries. i AT St. Louis, Mo., a German named Chris Spreng, 72 years old, deliberately walked into the fiver and was drowned John Uhler, a friend, secured the re­ mains from the Coroner and warned that Official against giving the dead man's valuables to a young woman who might call and claim them on account of being his daughter. Barbara Batalia came to the morgue, threw herself upon the body of a man she supposed was her father, and bitterly lamented his death. It was then discovered that she was mourning over the wrong corpse. Barbara came over from Germany in 1882 and married William Batalia. She says Spreng often recognized her as his child and she pro­ poses to get the estate he left, valued at about $10,000. • AT Detroit, Mich., the entire system of the city railway company is paralyz­ ed. Nine hundred stove moulders have quit and joined the strikers to prevent the running of cars. Tracks were torn up on three lines and obstructions have been placed on every line. The men the company had hired to take the strikers' places refuse to take out cars and the police are tired out. The switches and turnouts were at many points filled with concrete, so that a pick was neces­ sary to clear them. NOTHIXG can now save the neck of murderer Ford, of Ottawa, 111., who is sentenced to be hanged on May 9. In a letter F. G. Allen, Ford's chief attorney, says that he has given up the fight be­ cause he became convinced of Ford's guilt, and that he will not further inter­ fere between Ford and the rope, is apparently resigned to his fate, though cursing his attorneys for not spending their own money to take his case tj the Supreme Court. FRANK PBICK, aged 25, was literally cut to pieces in a row with James Harris at St Louis. A TRRMKXDOI;S explosion shook the city of Rome to its foundations, spread­ ing terror and dismay on all sides, and resulting in seven deaths and more or less serious injuries to 250 persons. The people rushed affrighted from their homes into tho streets. Houses rocked, pic­ tures fell from the walls, thousands of panes of gla«s were broken everywhere, crockery was shattered, furniture was overturned, chimneys crashed down upon the roofs and in some instances toppled over into the streets Delow. Final­ ly, when - something like order had been restored, the real cause of the ex­ plosion became known. It was discov­ ered that the immense powder magazine at Pozze Pantaleo, four kilometers dis­ tant. containing 265 tons of powder, had exploded. All the houses within a radius of a kilometer of the scene of the ex­ plosion are seriously damaged. Sig. Nicotora, Minister of the Interior, stated in the Chamber of Deputies that forty- eight persons were injured at the scene of the explosion and that about 200 per­ sons in Rome were slightly hurt. The Minister ofWar said there were 265 tons of powder in the magazine, but that none of tho new exp'oslve, balestite, was stored there. It is surmised that the explosion resulted from slow combus­ tion of the powder. Two officers were dangerously wounded, and fully 120 civilians have been taken to the differ­ ent hospitals suffering from wounds or bruises caused by the explosion. King Humbert, who was heartily cheered whenever his presence became known to the populace and soldiery, used his own carriage to convey wounded people to the hospital. THE British expedition advancing on Muneepoor reports that the Muneepoors retreat before them. They have found several headless corpses on the line of march, supposed to be those of prisoners who tried to escape from the Munee­ poors. A msPATCH from Zanzibar says that the German commissioner at Togo has imposed an annual tax of £40 on traders. The efforts on the part of the British and Germans to abolish slavery in Zanzibar and on the east African coast are not meeting with complete success. The slave trade, however, Is no longer carried on with its former boldness, and many of the Arabs formerly engaged in it have settled down to lawful pursuits. FRESH AND NEWSY. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., suffered another terrible loss by fire. The last fire originated in the large dry goods estab­ lishment of Gus Blass & Co., occupying the old Grand Opera House Block, which was burned to the ground about three years ago and rebuilt within the last eighteen months, were alto de­ stroyed. The fire was discovered at 11:30 and burned with such rapidity that by 12 o'clock not a wali remained standing. Blass has an insur­ ance of .*200,000. The total loss will not fall below $500,000. At New York a building owned by the Brush estate, at Grand street and Bowery, was damaged to the amount of $70,000. At Spring­ field, Mo., the Springfield Car and Foun­ dry Works burned. The loss is $80,000; insured. At Easton, Md., W. D. Hub­ bard's fruit and vegetable canning establishment was destroyed by fire. Loss, $25,000; insurance, $10,000. ' ADVICES from New Orleans announce the settlement at last of the celebrated suit of Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines against that city, and the successful heirs in the will probate struggle now going on in Brooklyn, N. Y., will be some $800,000 richer thereby. THE Chaudiere valley, one of the rich­ est farming districts in Canada, has been completely inundated by the rise of the Chaudiere River, and serious damage Is reported. Scott's Bounce and other pop­ ulous centers will suffer heavy loss. Miss ELIZABETH SHERMAN was sur­ prised when she learned that some of her father's friends were raising a fuud of $100,000 for herself and sister, Miss Rachel. Lieutenant Thackara said re­ cently that the sisters would accept the fund, because it was given as a token of love for General Sherman. MABKKT REPORTS. 80UTHERN INC1DENT3. TWENTY-FIVE miles from Rockwood, Tenn., a party of native mountaineers rode Into a tan-bark camp situated In the Cumberland Mountains, and without warning shot and killed six negroes and wounded ten. The mountaineers, it is said, had been discharged for incompe­ tency and took this method of venge­ ance. Two of the wounded negroes reached Rockwood. and took the train for Chattanooga, where they live. The trainmen report them having boarded the train, but they cannot be found in that city, probably alighting in some of the subnrbs. The men who spoke to them state they asserted that the shoot­ ing crowd numbered twenty or thirty, and used rifles. A WRECK occurred on the Alabama and Great Southern Railroad at mid­ night near Springviile, Ala. Some per­ sons had removed the fish-plates. Pas­ senger train No. 6, north bound, limited, was ditched, and the engine and > four cars turned over. Engineer John Got­ ten and Fireman Charles George were scalded to death.

Uncle Sam, in the person of President Harrison, has been making a few social calls upon some of his tenants. When the Presidential party reached Chat­ tanooga, Tenn.. fully 3,000 people were assembled at the station. A salute of thirteen guns was fired as the President descended from the steps of tho train in the Union Depot The pillars of the de­ pot were draped with the national colors, and weaved in evergreens; above the main exit to the street were the words, "Welcome to President Harrison." The reception committee numbered fifty, aud was composed of leading citizens and representative colored men. The party visited Lookout Mountain |nd, returning, were driven through the principal streets. Tho business houses along tho line of thePresident's route were handsomely decorated, flags and bunting floating from every window. President Harrison was introduced by Hon. H. Clay Evans, and was greeted with deaf- eanlng cheers. The President spoke a quarter of an hour. He was followed by Secretaries Wanamaker and Proctor. A reception upon the stand followed, a mass of people passing hurriedly for­ ward to shake hands with Mr. Harrison. The President during his speech said: My fellow-citizens, I have greatly enjoyed the opportunity of seeing Chattanooga again. I stiw it last as the camp of a great arniy. Its only industries were military. Its stores were munitions of war, its pleasant hill-tops were torn with rifle-pits, its civic population the attendant^ of an army cam­ paign. I see It to-day a great city, a pros­ perous city. To-day I see these hill-tops, then bristling with guns,crowned with happy homch; I see tiies-e streets, tlircuxh which the worn veterans of many campaigns then marched, made glad with the presence of happy children. Everything Is changed. The wand of an enchantress hat touched these hlils, and old Lookout, that frowned over the valley from which the plow had been withdrawn, now looks upon the peace­ ful Industries of country life. All things are changed, except that the flag that then floated over Chattanooga floats here still. [Cheers.] It has passed from the hands of the veterans who bore it to victory In battle into the hands of the children, who lift it as an emblem of peace. [Cheers.] Then Chat­ tanooga was war's gateway to the South. Now It Is the gateway to peace, commerce and prosperity, [Cheers. 1 There have been two conquests, one with arms, the other with the gentle Influence of peace, and the last Is greater than the first. [Cheers.] The first is only great »s it made way for that which followed, and now, one again in our devotlqn to the constitution and the laws, one again in the determination that the severance of the Federal relations of these States shall never again be raised, we have started together upon a career of prosperity and development that has as yet given only the sijcns of what is tw come. I congratulate Tennessee, I congratulate this prosperous city, I congratulate all those who, through this gatewav, give an<\ recoive the inter­ changes of friendly commerce that there is being wrought throughout our country, u unification by commerce, a unification by similarity of institutions and habits that shall in time erase every vestige of differ­ ence, and shall make us not only In contem­ plation of the law, but in heart and sym­ pathy, one people. [Cheers.] I thank you for your cordial greeting to-day, and hope for the development of the industries of our country and for tho settling of our insti­ tutions upon the firm basis of a respect for the laws. In this glad springtime, while the gardens are full of blossoms and the fields give the promise of another harvest, and your homes are full of happy children, let us thank God for what He has wrought for us as a people, and each in our place resolutely maintain the great idea upon which every thing is builded--the rule of the majority constitutionally expressed and the absolute equality of all men before the law. [Cheers^ Rolling smith,' the train pulled into Cartersvllle, Ga., wherj a great crowd welcomed the party. The President spoke as follows: My friends, I have bad great pleasure to-day in passing over s >me parts of the old route that I took once before under very different and distressing circumstances, to find how easy it is, when we are all agreed, to travel between Chattanooga and Atlanta. 1 am glad to see the evidences of prosperity that abound through your country, and I wish you in all your relations every haman good. [Cheers.] At Marietta the party was joined by a Reception Committee from Atlanta, con­ sisting of Mayor Hemphill, Ex-Governor Bullock, Capt. John Mllledge, Gen. J. R. Lewis, y. M. Inman, Col. W. L. Calhoun, President of the Confederate Veterans' Association; Col. A J. West, of Gov­ ernor Northen's staff, and seventeen members of the City Council. They came from Atlanta in a special train. At Atlanta, Ga., an accident occurred at the time of the President's arrival that might have resulted in injury to the President and Mrs. Harrison had it hap- lened a few minutes sooner. It resulted from the military salute fired in honor of the President. The cannon used for this service was mounted on a flat car at a siding near the track over which the Presidential car ran. In order to give emphasis to their work the soldiers haying charge of the cannon discharged it just as the President's train was pass­ ing on an adjoining track. The concussion was tremendous, and shattered three thick plate-glass window panes in the dining car Coronado, im­ mediately next the seats assigned t5 the spccial use of the President and Mrs. Harrison. Luckily these seats were un­ occupied at the time. A colored waiter who was standing in the aisle of the car was thrown down by the explosion. He was, however, more frightened than hurt. The Presidential party was at the other end of the train at the time and knew nothing of tho accident until in­ formed of it afterward. When tho Presidential train entered Atlanta Governor Northen advanced and received the party. The Governor said: 1 am glad to welcoinp your excellency to the Btate of Georgia. You will find among us a loyal and hospitable people, and, in their name, I welcome you to the State. Replying, the President said it gave him great pleasure to visit the Empire State of the South. The Presidential party was then driven around the city. At the State Capitol the President was given a public reception. At the Exec­ utive Mansion, at 9 o'clock, the Presi­ dential party saw tho social side of At­ lanta life. Here Mrs. Northen had in­ vited about one hundred of Atlanta's leading society ladies to assist her in the reception to the ladies of the party. The President had a royal reception at Galveston, Texas, and the people turned out en masse. On tho arrival of the train a military salute was fired, the city bells were rung, and all the steam­ ers and tugs in the harbor whistled their loudest. The city troops and Masonic and civic organizations were present in force, and all joined in cheering the dis­ tinguished visitor in a most enthusiastic manner. The demonstration was a most gratitying one In every respect. A pro­ cession was quickly formed, and escorted the President and party from tho sta­ tion to a steamship, on which they made a short trip on tho bay for the purpose of inspecting the extensive hanbor im­ provements now in progress. Returning from the jetties, Cart .Toe Owens, the grand marshal, took charge of the party and placed them in the parade. The President and his party, together with the escort committee that accompanied them from Houston, occu­ pied the first nine carriages, headed by a detachment of twenty-four police officers. Following the first nine carriages Were twelve others occupied by the Consular 'ssi/'i Corps, City Council, County Commission era, Galveston Deep Water Committee, the Governor's staff, Federal officers, etc. The Grand Army of the Bepublic post acted as a*committee of escort to the President, marching on either $ido<; of his carriage, bearing floral emblems aud a union jack, which, when seen on i shore, indicates the presence of tho j President of the United States. The rest of the line was composed of militia, I Masonic, and other bodies, school chil- | dreu and labor unions. The procession i passed over a beautifully decorated 1 route, one featu're of which was an im- | mense floral arch, and finally passed in ' review before the President The school ! children threw their flowers at the Presi­ dent's feet as they passed and built a small sized hill in front of the stand. After tho review the President and his party were entertained at supper, during which the President was serenad­ ed. The party then repaired to tho hotel balcony! where in the presence of an immense throng of people the Presi­ dent was formally welcomed to the Gulf by Gen. Waul on behalf of the Mayor, who, though present, was too ill to speak. The President returned his thanks in a feeling speech. Addresses were also made by Gov. Hogg and Secretary Rusk. A public reception followed and a floe display of fireworks closed the cere­ monies. From Texas to the Pacific coast the party was greeted at every stopping place by immense and enthusiastic crowds. The presidential train rolled into Los Angeles on time. The party was met at Idaho by Gov. Markham and a delegation of prominent men of the State, who acted as an. escort from that point forward. At Los Angeles the visitors were greeted by a vast crowd arid were again snowed under with fruit and flowers. Calja lilies seemed to be the favor- ito flower, and they were seen on every side. The ceremonies opened with a street parade, in which the United States troops, militia, Grand Army posts, and civic organiza­ tions in this vicinity participate! They escorted the President and his party through the streets crowded with en­ thusiastic people. Hundreds of chil­ dren lined the sidewalkfc at one point of the route, and they showered the Presi­ dent with flowers as his carriage passed slowly by. Tho parade ended at the City Hall, whero a covered platform had been erected lor the public ceremonies. This platform looked like a tropical garden. Addresses of welcome were made by Gov. Markham and Mayor Hazard. The President responded in a brief address. Brief speeches were also made by Secre­ tary Rusk and Postmaster General Wan­ amaker. After the speech-making tho President and party proceeded to the Hellenbeck Hotel, where elegant flower- bedecked apartments had been reserved, for them. A fine dinner was served at the hotel during which the Presi­ dent was serenaded. In the early evening ho went to the pavilion and held a publ c reception, which was largely attended, and later the Presi­ dent, Secretary Rusk, Postmaster Gen­ eral Wanamaker, and the ladles were entertained at the Union League Club. Ths President's invitation to tho club was on a solid silver card suitably in­ scribed. The ent re city was brilliantly illuminated at night. Among the floral tributes was a hand­ some symbol of peace froin the native daughters of La Esperanza. The Hon. < Lulz E. Torres, Governor of Lower Cali­ fornia, and other foreign officials par­ ticipated in the ceremonies. The Hl( General's Salad. The late Chief Justice Chase*s daugh­ ter tells this story of a visit to o!d Gen­ eral Winfield Scott at Cozzens', West Point: "Ho gave us seats at his own es­ pecial table, and was very kind to us, but I was terribly afraid of him. One of his greatest pleasures at tho table was to mix the most-fiery of salads, which he wou'd send by his own man (who always stood behind his master's chair) with the General s compliments to the favored few. My gastronomic tastes were far from being developed, and the old gen­ tleman's red pepper and mustard nearly killed me. I simply could not eat the burning stuff. Feeling the General's eye upon me, I vainly tried to swallow it, but failed ignominiously, with tears coming into my eyes with the effort To add to my discomfort and mortification, a voice roared out in a deep tone from the General's throne: 'The little Chase docs not like my salad.' " "The 8e» King" Returns. Among comic opera productions none have more rapidly won favor than "The Sea King." At its first visit to Chicago it was pronounced superior to those other gems, "The Merry Monarch" and "Castles in the Air," and a return en­ gagement will be played at McVicker's new theater, commencing May 3, by Gllmore's superb company. The scenic effects and the costumes in "The Sea King" approach closely to the marvelous. In May, also, McVicker's will present the New York success, "Blue Jeans." This play--a comedy-drama--abounds in natural realism, and Jtells a story of life so thrillingly that interest is intense from start to finish. A startling inno­ vation is the introduction of a sawmill In full operation. "Blue Jeans" will bo presented with its original New York cast Kansas Ptitlosophv.

Tljeae men were instantly sent to eternity by the frightful carelessness of some one--of whom it is not known. At. Kipton station, a little place on the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern road, forty miles waj of Cleveland, Ohio, the fast mail bouncl east collided with the Toledo express Just as the latter train was about to pull on the siding to let the fast mail pass. The latter was punning at full speed, and the forcfe of the collis­ ion was so great that both engines, three mail cars and one baggage-car were completely wrecked. None of the passenger cars left the track, and none of the passengers received serious in­ juries. It was the custom for thes#two trains to pass at Kipton, the Toledo express taking the side track for the fast mail, which usually went through Hipton without slackening its speed. The To­ ledo express was a few minutes late, and had just come to a stop at tho switch when the fast mail came In sight. There is scarcely any curve at the station, but on one side of tho track was a line of freight cars and on the other the station. These might have obstructed the vision of the engineer of the fast mail. He applied tho air-brakes when he saw that a coll sion was inevitable, but the speed of the train was not checked materially* The engine of the Toledo express was knocked squarely across the track, and that of the last mail reared in the air, resting on top of the other. The fast mail consisted of three mail cars and two parlor cars, and the Toledo express of five coaches arid two baggage cars. The ,first apd second mail cars were telescoped and smashed to kindling wood, and tho third crashed into the first two and rolled over on the station platform, breaking the windows of the building. The two baggage ears of the Toledo, express were knocked from the track, but dfid1 hot turn over. The force of the collision was so great that of the sixty-four revolving-chairs in the two parlor-cars only four remained attached to the floors, all the others be­ ing broken and hurled abouti in CQnfu- sion. The passengers were thrown to the floors and badly shaken. The passengers of the two trains at once began tho work of rescue, and with a corps of physicians from the town ministered.to the few who were injured. All but one of the dead were beyond human assistance as soon as the collision occurred. The bodies were all horribly crushed and m til a ted, arms and legs being torn off. a i the corpses were al­ most beyond recognition. Charles Topliff, the engineer of the fast mail, remained bravely at his post, and was found deaa with his hand on the throttle. His hands and face were so badly scalded that the blackened flesh dropped from the bones when his body was taken out. The poor poital clerks had not a chance to escape. They were caged like rats, and the telescoping of - the car crushed tho life out of them without a moment's warning. When the passengers who were on the last mail arrived at Cleveland they brought the first authentic account of the wreck, there being no correspondents or other facilities for getting tho news from Kipton, which is a mero hamlet. These passengers say that the cars and locomotives were piled in a heap higher than the station. It is difficult to locate the blame for the accident, as both of the engineers are dead. It is said, however, that the express was ordered to stop at Oberlin, but went on to Kipton, which is six miles farther west, and had not suffl* cient time to make the side track. MOBS_RULB THB REQION. Strikers In Pennsylvania Resume Violent ; Tactics and Defy tho Officers. Hardly had the soldiers left the Scott- dale, Pa., region before the fears of the citizens were realized, and gangs of cokers again turned loose their lawless passions of hate and revenge. Through­ out the region all the night the earth fairly trembled with a succession of shocks following the explosion of dyna­ mite bombs. At Leisenrlng No. 3 of the Frick WorKS a crowd of strikers gath­ ered on the hill, and at one time thirty bombs were exploded simultaneously, tearing great holes in the earth, break­ ing njindows in many houses, and fright­ ening people for many miles around by the terrific roar. No one was injured, however, and little actual damage was done, the strikers contenting themselves with this portentous warning to the workers below. The water tank at the Kyle works was blown up. but the perpetrators were not discovered. One of the most daring and lawless acts of this lawless strike took place at Leith. , In order to disperse tho threatening mob, It|putics Smith and Rice arrested one of ihem, a younjr man named Jofin Shaffer, and started to bring him to jail. His companions attacked tho deputies, beat them with clubs and stones, and rescued Shaffer. Deputy Smith was severely injured. He received a number of ugly bruises on his body, andf, deep gash in the head with a knife. It lp also feared that Deputy Sinner, whp was injured In the riot at Leisenring Nq. 2, will not recover. Sheriff, McCoimick telegraphed the governor for military aid, and was told 1^ reply. that it was not the duty of t(he military tq do police duty and the soldiers cpuld ,not be ordered out until ]the civil p9wer is exhausted. With the mob storming the office from which the ^message w.as sent, he mado a second ap­ peal, and Gov. Pattison then wired Capt L. H. Frazler of cojnpany E, Tenth regi- jnept, Uniontown, to place his company under arms and assist the sheriff in maintaining the peace. A telegram was also septi to Capt. Loar, at Mount Pleas­ ant, to take his company to a»Ist Sh r.ff McCormick. Jofh BUIlnys' Philosophy. How menny suspishus people one meets in this World.

WATER-WAYS NEEDED: IMPORTANCE OF RIVER ADU| CANAL TRANSPORTATION Stupendous Increase In Wealth that Mifht Be Brought About by Irrigation--Ther Immigration Laws Should Bo Store" Stringent* The subject ^Transportation and Improvements of Waterways, Lake< Gulf, and Pacific Ports" was discussedf at the Commercial Congress in Kansas City. Mr. S. A. Thompson, Secretary of thft Commercial Club of Duluth, advocated the improvement of waterways a9 af­ fording the cheapest transportation. Col. T. G Catchings, of Mississippi, argued that an increase in water traffic, however great, would not decrease rail­ road business, but would rather in­ crease it The Hon. J. M. Mitfphy, of Iowa* spoke on the Hennepin Canal. His life* had one purpose and his heart one hope, and that was the construction of the Hennepin Canal. He explained in along speech the benefits to accruo from th© construction of the canal, and he had no> doubt that the Government would con­ struct it if Congress could be brought to a realizing sense of the canal's im­ portance. ' Col. A. C. Fish, of Denver, delivered an address upon irrigation. He said 900,- 000,ooa of people were kept alive oa food raised on irrigated land in Spain, China, Egypt, Russia, India, and the United States, yet tho subject of irriga­ tion, although carried on successfully for hundreds of years, was but little understood. In the trans-Mississippi country enough land was allowed to go to waste that was susceptible of cultivar tion to support whole "nations of people; The work of irrigation has already been begun by the United States. Mr. Pow­ ell estimated that there were 1,000,000 square miles of arid lands in the West­ ern country that could be made product­ ive by irrigation. At tho minimum price of public land, SI. 25 per acre, thia land had a value of 8800,000,0C0 At $30 per acre, a moderate estimate of ita value when irrigated, it would be worth 319,200,000,000. Mr. Wickllffe said he would treat hia subject, "Immigration and Settlement of Public Lands," from the text, "America for Americans." "We have been told,'/ he said, "that this land is broad enough for all, but I submit that the countries, of tho other world have made it th» dumping ground for their paupers and criminal classes, and I believe that I speak for the whole American people when I say that the time has come when all that must stop. There Is enough room for all who want to come herj to be one of us, but not a foot of ground for one of those paupers and criminala of the old world. I in ay feel deeply upon the subject, but I have lately come fresh from a most terrible object lesson, which too e'early indicates the need of a change of our immigration laws. "I believe that this congress ought to declare that tho National Congress should prohibit the landing of immigrants who are not willing to become good citizens. I think this law ought to bo> put into such shape that no man who has not within a given time filed his intention for citizenship, which is now altogether too short, and who has not within another given time taken out what is known as his second papers, ought to be shipped back to the country lrom which ho came. Gentlemen, it took twenty-one years to make a voter out of each one of you; it does not take twenty-one seconds to m£ke a voter out of a foreigner. Let no man step foot upon tho soil of Columbia who cannot bring a true bill of moral cleanliness. I am, as you know, a State-rights Demo^ crat, but 1 believe the power to make American citizens ought to be taken from the State courts and given to tho General Government. Perhaps you do not realize the need of all this, but io looking up the nationality of those crim­ inals whom the citizens of New Orleans executed not long since it was found that the naturalization papers of one of these, his certificate of good moral char­ acter, was certified to by two of his fel­ low-criminals. I believe that the scenes which we have witnessed during the last few weeks ought to be impossible. The raising of the g orious stars and stripes under that of a foreign flag, as was done in my own State, and the rid­ dling of our flag by bullets in Pennsyl­ vania, very clearly indicate tho need of a change of policy as regards our immi­ gration laws." A resolution favoring free coinage was received with applause. A resolution relative to immigration was loudly ap­ plauded, and the resolution which hailed with delight the burial of all animosi­ ties between the North and South was greeted with great applause, and, upon motion of Major Warner, of Missouri, was given three hearty cheer J.

FRANCISCO PUAHRO was assassinated by "Men of Chili," brother Spaniards, under Juan de Rada, a party belonging to the Almagro faction Almagro had been a partner with Pizarro in the con­ quest SEPT. §5, 1513, from the mountain top of Panama, BalSoa, was the first white man in the now world to look upon the water of the Pacific, little thinking that the sea before him covered one-half of the earth's surface. Francisco Pizarro, who afterward conquered Peru, hurry­ ing to the mountain top is said to be the second to view the gieat sea. ATAHUALPA, the captive Inca of Peru, for his release offered to fill the room with gold as high as he could reach and Francis Pizarro traced the length with his sword around the room. The dimensions of the room were 22 feet long, 16 wide, and 9 high. The gold was bars and plate taken from their sacred temples and representations of animals, images of the llama, and even women. The Peruvians were worshipers of the sun and their temple at Cusco. facing the east, was covered with plates of gold. Although Pizarro promised the Inca chief his freedom, circumstances were such that he could not well avoid the crime of which history accuses him, notwithstanding tha chief offered as much more gold as already given for his liberty fcod life. ..texrlUl
