THE PLAINDF.ALEK J. VAN SLYKE, Editor and Pub. ilcHENRY. ILLINOIS PROOF ALL PEODUCED STATE NOW RESTSa IN LUETGERT CASE. THE Hans of the Defense to Be Revealed u Testimony Is Adduced--Five Men Killed in a Wisconsin Collision- Pension Deficit Is Decreased. s . Evidence In. The prosecution has closed its cast against Adolpli L. Luetgert, on trial in Chicago for wife murder. All the State has to say in proof that Mrs. Luetgert was murdered in the sausage factory the night of May 1 and that her husband was the ihurderer has been said. The defense moved for acquittal, on the ground that ; the corpus delicti has . not been estab­ lished; that it has not been proved that Mrs. Luetgert has been murdered, or that she is even dead, and, therefore, no crime of murder has been proved. That motion was overruled, and the plans of defense will be revealed as its testimony is - adduced. The thory that a woman's body was destroyed in the vat as alleged will be attacked by expert testimony, the identification of the bones will be assailed and it may be the defense will. produce witnesses who will swear they saw the woman alive since* midnight of May 1. It will be sufficient for the defense to raise a doubt over the proof offered by the -State. Attorneys Vincent and Phalen say they have a complete defense. Trouble la Threatened. The Hazleton, Pa., strike situation may fee summarized thus: Over 10,000 men are stiil out, with no apparent prospect of settlement; sporadic outbreaks of violence are occurring near the outlying colleries and the withdrawal of troops is not only without consideration, but the guard lines of several of the camps are being con­ stantly strengthened, and the wisdom of bringing more cavalry is being discussed. It was said that if the soldiers are kept there much longer the Sheridan troop of Tyrone, attached to the Second brigade, will be ordered out. A captain of Gen­ eral Gobin's staff is authority for the statement that an uneasy feeling prevails at headquarters in consequence of the lit­ tle, outbreaks of the past few days and the indication they hold of the underlying disturbance. The brigade commander ad­ mitted that the action of the raiding women was giving him much perplexity. He does not care to use force against them and has instructed the soldiers in case of necessity to use only the flats of their, sabers upon the amazons. The story reached the general that many men were in the attacking crowds disguised as women, c Athletes of the Diamnn l, Following is the standing of the clubs of the National Baseball League: W. L.

Bowles, of Milwaukee, was elect­ ed president of the National Association of Life Underwriters. Two section men were killed and two others fatally hurt in a collision between a Midland passenger engine and a hand car near Basalt, fifty miles west of Lead- •ille. William Buckley, of Kokomo, Ind., •who was found apparently dead on ihe street, came to life again just as the coro­ ner was beginning to perform an autop- By on him. It is said in Berlin that Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir presumptive to the throne of Austria-Hungary, has married Frau- leia Hussman, formerly housekeeper for Herr Krupp, the great gunmaker. Three convicts made a futile attempt to escape from the Ohio State prison at Columbus. Guard A. H. Duncan was fa­ tally shot in the head and Guard James was wounded in the groin and shoulder. With the exception of the two big companies, the Consolidated and the Madison Coal Company, all the coal mines in the Mascoutah, 111., district have resumed work, having reached an agree­ ment with the men. Five were killed and three injured in a "head-end collision which occurred on the Wisconsin Central Railway at Howard, Wis. The west-bound freight was de­ layed somewhat and passed Irvine con siderably behind time. It is supposed that the engineer, being behiifd, forgot that he was tc pass No. 24 near that point, and was consequently running through at the -usual epeed. "While the expenditures for pensions may exceed the appropriation for the cur­ rent fiscal year, the deficit will not be so great as the payment of §40,000,000 the quarter ending this month would indi­ cate," said Commissioner of Pensions Evans. "I estimate that the total pay­ ments for the year will not exceed $147, 600,000. That is not an appalling excess "by any means; the appropriation for the year being $141,263,880. There are something like 200,000 old claims pending before the bureau, which will be acted upon as rapidly as we can get to them. There has been and still continues a re­ markable increase in the number of new applications." The first national convention of crip­ ples v, ill be held in St. Louis in the Ex­ position Building and it is expected that there, will be fully 6,000 delegates in at­ tendee-when the meeting is called to order, eypry man of whom will be crip- ^pled in some manner or other. If he is not he will not be entitled to a seat in the liall. The cablegram announcing the recall of Baron Fava, the Italian ambassador to the United States, has been verified.

At several turbulent meetings, which treatened to end in bloodshed, the priests have gone among the excited foreigners mid forced them back. They warn the men that to destroy the coal companies' property is only to take food from their own mouths by shutting off future em­ ployment. The priests, howeverr'iave no plea of mercy for the sheriff's deputies who shot the men at Latimer, and some of them are active members of the com­ mittee that is to push the murder charges in court. It is, now quite certain "hat no attempt will be made to arrest the depu­ ties so long as the troops are camped at Hazleton. Gen. Gobin's declaration that he will protect the sheriff's men just as long as lie is in command has cooled ihe ardor of those who were for going about the matter hastily. The strike leaders and their attorneys deny the right of Gen. Gobin to enforce such an order, but they admit that he has the power. WESTERN. Uriah Copp has been re-elected grand chief templar of the Illinois I. O. O. T. At Osgood. Ind., a mob of forty infu­ riated men Tuesday night lynched Lyle Levi, Bert Andrews, Clifford Gordon, William Jenkins, and Hiney Shuler. They were taken from the authorities. The men hail been arrested for burglary. Fre­ quent robberies had enraged the citizens of the county. . : . , ' X ! A heifer, thirsty arid heated, ran amuck in Chicago Tuesday afternoon. For three miles the animal spread consternation in its path, trampling. Upon pedestrians and scattering teams and bicyclists. At the en.i of its course it tossed a Tio.v in the air, inflicting injuries which are con­ sidered fatal. As a result of an attempt to send two electric trains over a single track at top speed in a dense fog, twelve persons were seriously and two in all probability fa­ tally injured in a collision on the Subur­ ban Electric road near Chicago. The ac­ cident occurred on Harlem avenue, not far from the race track, at a* time when the trains of the Suburban road were crowded with passengers. Eight years ago J. I'\ Taylor was en­ gaged in business in California .nth J. C. New. Business was dull and they were compelled to give up. Without dis­ solving partnership, the men decided to part and made an agreement that should fortune smile on either side they would divide. Taylor bought a ranch near Ce­ dar creek, Idaho, where he now resides. New went to Alaska, and was one of the first to make a strike in the now gold fields, securing thfee claims. He hunted tip Taylor last Sunday near Kendrick, in Latah County, and gave him a title to a half-interest in the claims. Taylor also received $27,000 as his share of the earn­ ings of the claims. He has been offered $100,000 for the claims. < Tne attraction at McVieker's Theater, Chicago, for the next two weeks, will be Andrew Mack, the popular "singing come­ dian," in his tremendously successful new play of life in Ireland, called "An Irish Gentleman." Mr.'Mack has come under the management of one of the foremost theatrical firms in the country, and these gentlemen have started him on a career which has already begun with unequivo­ cal success. They have had written ex­ pressly to fit his requirements a new pl«?y of life in Ireland, by Ramsay Morris, and the author, aside from supplying Mr. Mack with a magnificent star part, is said to have produced the most captivating pic­ ture of Irish life since the days of "The Shaughraun." He has kept away from the beaten path of Irish Splays, and has dis­ carded the peasant boy in shabby cordu­ roy race-breeches, the red coats, evictions and constabulary which have done duly for years. Instead he has pictured a hero who is a young Dublin College graduate; a witty, humorous, happy-go-lucky chap of captivating disposition, and possessing all the most fascinating qualities usually attributed to natives of the Graen i3le. "An Irish Gentleman" has scored an enor­ mous success in the East, where it has been hailed as a delightful novelty. Word comes fiyfh Fort Atkinson, Wis., that rather than touch an annuity l'rom England, which she had come to look upon as blood money, Mrs. Laura Ar- mitage starved herself to death, notwith­ standing there was nearly $3,000 in a basket beside her dingy bed. With the demise of this eccentric woman ends a romance which had its beginning in En­ gland more than twenty years ago. Will­ iam Armitage was the younger sou o£ an English lord, and when he married a pretty ballet dancer he was packed off to America, wife, luggage and all. Being passionately fond of duck hunting, be bought a farm on Lake Koshkonong, noted for this kind of sport. Armitage died about ten years ago, and the elder brother and heir to the title offered the widow an annuity of $400 on condition that she remain in America. Mrs. Ar­ mitage has since lived in a dingy house in Fort Atkinson, with only three faith­ ful dogs for companions. Her mind has been affected for some time, and it is be­ lieved that brooding over her exile from her native land caused her to reach the conclusion that it was not right to accept aid from her husband's family. The county authorities were talking about sending the woman to an asylum, but it was a delicate matter, and before they got around to it death had ended her suf­ ferings. 9,000 tons at Yokosuktt Guatemala rebels are attacking the City of Quezaltenango and probably will cap­ ture it. The rebellion is led by men of wealth and influence and is gaining strength daily. Lieutenant General Baron von Shack of Russia committed suicide because he has been coniDelled to abandon the Ger­ man Lutheran faith and join the Rus­ sian orthodox church. The Austrian consul at Philadelphia has written to his secretary in Hazleton, Pa., Dr. Tlieodorovitch. Legal proceed­ ings, the communication says, will be in­ stituted against the United States in $50.- 000 damages for each life lost in the Lat- tinier shooting. A tremendous explosion occurred at the camp close by the Chinese arsenal at Iviangnan, near Shanghai. Forty bodies were dug oiit of the debris. Two fine Krupp field guns, 1,000 new pattern sin­ gle fire and magazine rifles, with 120,000 cartridges, were destroyed. Within a very few weeks Capt. Ober- lin M. Carter, at present military at­ tache of the United States embassy at London, will be court-martialed on the charge,of discrepancies in his accounts as engineer officer while for some time sta­ tioned at Savannah, Ga. Cant. Carter's discrepancies are said to aggregate $1,- 000,000. He was ordered home by cable. The Spanish war department is concen­ trating 6,000 troops with the intention of immediately dispatching them as re-en­ forcements to Spain's army in Cuba. This sudden activity indicates, that the govern­ ment means_ to have men enough on the island to repel an American invasion if war betwpen Spain and the United States grows out of President MeKinley's nego­ tiations for peace in Cuba. The London Times' correspondent at San Sebastian comments upon the "almost complete in­ difference displayed by representative men regarding the extremely critical po­ litical situation." Continuing, he says: "Experience forces the conviction that Cuba will never be pacified by military operations. The question arises wheth­ er tlurUnited States could be induced to stop American supplies to the insurgents. If so, there is no doubt the rebellion would soon collapse." Recent Havana advices say that the inhabitants of the city are without meat. Milk also is very scarce. Only the sick in the hospitals are supplied regularly with either article. In accordance with his agreement made when Victoria de las Tunas was captured, Gen. Calixto Gar­ cia has delivered up 79 prinoners at Hoi-, guin, 12 at- Canto Embarcadero, 70 at Puerto Principe, and about 100 sick and wounded near Puerto Padre. At day­ break on Monday Col. Lacoste with a body of Spanish fell suddenly upon the camp of the insurgent Gen. Castillos, at Santo Cristobal, province of Havana, simultaneously attacking the front and rear.. The insurgents were overpowered and abandoned their position, losing six­ teen killed and eleven seriously wounded. The Spanish losses were six killed and thirteen wounded. The insurgent gen- ral, Perico Diaz, and Leander Gallo, have made a successful raid in Weyler's valley in southeast Pinar del Rio, destroying the tobacco plants and houses, macheftng ten, wounding seventeen, and capturing eigh­ teen and lynching two merchants. FEAR MORE RIOTING. tROOPS SENT TO QUIET THE STRIKERS AT ECKLEY, PA. IN GENERAL. SOUTHERN. Window glass jobbers have made an­ other advance of 5 per cent, in prices. The government has decided to change the color of the 2-cent postage stamps from carmine to green. W. R. Crawford is trying to arrange a match race between his fin-keel yacht Vanenna and the Siren. Thomas E. Edison has taken up the study of air ships. He says those already invented are wrong in principle. Claims are being staked out in the heart of Victoria, B.

Seemingly he has decided not to be president of John Brisben Walker's Cosmopolitan Univer­ sity. Secretary Gage's order that postage stamps shall hereafter be grean, met with sudden death upon the disco very that the rules of the International Postal Con­ gress forbid any change in the color of the stamps. Hope for those who have friends In the Klondike is held out by Frank Cryder, who c.ime down on the steamer Hum­ boldt, after having spent five years in the Yukon. He does not believe there will be any deaths from starvation, although he admits that food will be scarce. Cry­ der says that lack of shelter is a more serious condition confronting the miners in the gold belt than starvation. It costs $1,000 for a fair log cabin already built, and the time and labor in constructing a new one would amount to about the same. He states that the closing of the com­ pany stores at Dawson was a temporary expedient merely, to prevent speculators from cornering all the provisions in the country and thereafter holding supplies at fabulous prices. EASTERN. The strike against the De Armits will continue indefinitely, arrangements hav­ ing been made to assess the working miners 5 per cent, of their wages to de- tray the expenses of keeping up the fight until the %6(5-eent rate is made uniform throughout the district. The cage in which ten men were being lowered into shaft No. 2 of the Alden Coal Company at Nantfeo'ke, Pa., sud­ denly dropped to the bottom of the shaft. Eight of the men were severely injured, and the injuries of four may prove fatal. The minp is 580 feet deep. The cage had A hurricane arid tidal wave did im­ mense damage to property and killed many persons at Port Arthur and Sab'ne Pass, Texas. The farmers along Taylor's Bayou in Jefferson County, Texas, are the heaviest losers from the terrible storm of Sunday evening. The rice crop was the largest in years and was ready for harvesting, but hundreds of acres were totally der stroyed, the loss being estimated at #150,- 000. Eight United States marshals had an encounter with striking miners in the Jellico district in Tennessee. Nonunion miners' were put to work, and a mob came marching toward- the company's store. The marshals took refuge in a blacksmith shop and'fired upon the mob. The miners retreated, but returned the fire with their Winchesters. New Orleans has caught its second wind and the yellow fever excitement has somewhat subsided. At first there was a disposition to leave town, but when peo­ ple summed up matters and found that there were only seven imported cases and that they had been warned as to six of them they decided to wait until the con­ dition should become more aggravated be­ fore maknig a break for other parts. The natives have, contrary to expectations, not become frightentd over the existence of yellow fever, and whatever depression exists is due to the fact that business, which was 30 per cent, above the corre­ sponding month of last year, has received a set-back as a result of the general in­ stitution of quarantine measures against the city. Up to the present writing there has been no change in the situation and the bulletins from infected quarters are of a favorable nature. More Trouble Near Hazleton--Opera- tors Appeal to Gen* Gobln, Who Orders the Philadelphia Militia to the Scene--Funeral«vof the Victims. Miners Forced to Quit.. The situation in the Hazletou (Pa.) mining district is one of unrest. All the collieries in the district are apprehensive of danger. Requests have been pouring in to Gen. Gobin from the various mines asking that he send troops to the places in order to prevent any possible outbreak. The gen­ eral states that he will not send troops to any paint unless an outbreak does oc­ cur. He declines to give the names of the collieries, as all the men in'them are SHERIFF 31AKTXX. stij, at Work. The operators, however,, are apprehensive of a strike and wan't to be prepared for an emergency. Two mine superintendents in the immediate vicinity have asked Gen. Gobin to place guards around their houses. : . > . Trouhle-'lras broken out at Coxe Broth­ ers' colliery at Eckley. Two hundred miners at Buck mountain, which is about three mines from Eckley,went on strike and started toward the Eckley mines. The superintendent of the Eckley colliery tel­ egraphed Gen. Gobin for troops. The miiiers marched on the Eckley mines and forced the miners to quit work. It was stated that the miners had been roughly handled by the strikers. Gen. Gobin cr- SWEPT BY A GALE. Ruin and Death Along the Coast of the Galf of Mexico. Death and disaster by flood and storm swept the Texas coast Sunday night. The towns of Port Arthur, Sabine Pass, and Sabine were inundated. The estimates of deaths in those places vary from eiight to forty. The towns named were cut off from railroad communication because of the flood, and from telegraphic communi­ cation by reason <jf the blowing down of the wires. To the west of Sabine the towns and ranches and farms along the coast for forty miles have been devas­ tated. In the Town of Winnie only two houses remain standing. To the south of Galveston there is known to have been a great rise in the water as far as Corpus Christi.1 To get a comprehensive understanding of how the disaster happened it is neces­ sary to explain the geography of the coun­ try. The towns of Sabine, Port Arthur, and Sabine Pass are in Jefferson County, the southeasternmost county in Texas. The entire county is practically low prai­ rie. The towns of Sabine and of Sabine Pass are on the banks of a short, deep stream that connects Sabine Lake with the gulf. Port Arthur is on the we§t bank of Sabine Lake. Sabine Lake is fif­ teen miles long, about'five miles wide, and is fed by two large rivers,.the Sabine and the N.eehes, The lake is shallow, beirig generally from five to eight feet deep, and the land bordering upon it has little eleva­ tion. " , For two days, Friday and Saturday, the wind had been blowing heavily from the, southwest, driving the waters of the gulf tip into the lake and its estuaries. On Sunday this southwest wind increased to a gale and the water poured in from the sea at a great rate. Suddenly Sunday bight the wind swung around to the north and developed into one of the fiercest blows that has been experienced therea­ bouts in years. The winds whipped the waters back from the rivers and drove them toward the lake, and the waters of the lake were driven against the waters that were rushing in from the gulf. The TRIES TP KILL DIAZ. President of Mexico Is Assaulted by an Anarchist. President Diaz Was assaulted with deadly intent during the ceremonies in the City of Mexico attending the celebration of the declaration of independence. Ig- nacio Arroyo, ,a violent anarchist, broke through the line of soldiers that marked the line of the procession to the Alameda and attempted to brain the president with a heavy cane as he was walking to the na­ tional palace. The blow, which he aim­ ed at the president's head, fell short and the would-be murderer was immediately seized and handed over to the police. In­ tense excitement prevailed when it be­ came known that an attempt had been made upon the life of President Diaz. President Diaz was the coolest man of all who witnessed the assault. He turned around as his assailant was seized, and looked at lihn somewhat curiously, und COOL COMFORT. dered the city troop of Philadelphia to go to the scene of the disturbance. Fnnerals of the Victims. The funerals of twelve of the victims of the massacre took place Monday. The first funeral procession came in from Har- wood at 11:15 o'clock. First came a band, followed by St. Kasimer society of Ha­ zleton, then came a hearse bearing the body of Anthony Grekas. Behind this were carriages bearing the widow and children. A second hearse, bearing the body of Andrew Mitzkotchi, followed. After it came the body of Raphial Rac- vish. The procession moved to SS. Peter and Paul's Lithuanian Church. There the bodies were taken from the hearses to the church and services were conducted by Father Martusch, the pastor. In the line following the bodies there were 5,560 men, and at the church there were as many more people. The services lasted an hour, after which the bodies were taken to St. Stanislaus cemetery, where the three bodies were placed in one grave. The second funeral started from Under­ taker Bronon's establishment. Six men carried each coflin. At St. Stanislaus FOREIGN.

The effect upon the crowd that saw the affair was instanta- 1106ns and awakened the greatest excite­ ment. The police started away with the prisoner by a side street, hoping to avoid any further disturbance. Hundreds of men ran after the police shouting for j vengeance upon the man. "Give him to 11s," they cried, "and we will hang him." But the gendarmes succeeded in keep­ ing their prisoner, being re-enforced by cavalrymen, the great crowd shouting and running behind. The man was taken to the palace and stripped, but 110 weapon was found 011 his person. He was taken away to the city hall, securely bound :;ud placed in solitary confinement. At night a great mob of coin mop peo­ ple broke into the jail by forcing the doors with huge timbers handled by 100 men. jTliey overpowered the guards and sur- t rounded them, while a detail of men ran down the corridor, dragged out the trem­ bling Arroyo and lynched him. The 1110b had apparently 110 organization, but it was directed in some mysterious "way. About twenty of the lynchers were ar­ rested. ;• ^ WILD TIME IN PRISON. WHERE MINERS WERE SHOT. Church iii Carson street the men took off their hats and the nine bodies were carried through while the. band played a dirge. Father Aust and the surpliced acolytes met the men at the church steps.1 The service was of the most impressive character. Five priests officiated. Father Zyrhowiz preached the funeral sermon in the Polish language. The Rev. J. V. Moylan of St. Gabriel's Church addressed the people in English. The nine bodies were buried in a grave 9 by 24 feet. Of the twelve men buried four were Polish, four Greeks and four Lithuanians. Additional warrants have been issued for the arrest of these deputies: William Jtaught, coal and iron policeman; John Turner, Henry Deal. Pink Ferry, B. I). Dixon and Wallace Drum. The deputies included here represent business men, clerks, bosses and tradesmen. meeting of these two great forces of water made a bank of water which had to find an outlet. Unable to stay within the natural channels the waters broke out over the lands and swept along in mighty waves. Wherever these g;reat, angiy waves met an obstacle it was wash­ ed aside as if it were of paper. Within a few hours the level of the waters in thfe territory within a radius of six miles of Sabine Pass had risen eight feet. To add to the terrors of the situation, it rained in torrents. The force of the wind was in itself sufficient to dismautle any frail structure. The people of the three towns, Sabine, Sabine Pass and Port Arthur, were practically in a trap, threatened from within and without. Wreck and devastation were wrought by the wind and death by drowuing was in the flood. Part Arthur is a town of about 1.000 to 1,200 people and has probably 300 hous­ es, many of which are substantial struc­ tures. The Gulf railway owns a mag­ nificent $10,000 building, and the princi­ pal hotel is a costly structure of seventy- five rooms. Port Arthur is the southern terminal of the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf railroad, and is situated sixteen miles inland from Sabine City. In 1886 a Wave swept over Sabine City, covering that place with six feet of water, destroy­ ing many houses and .causing several deaths. Great distress was caused, and there were many narrow and thrilling es­ capes. FAVOR TORCH AND BULLETS. Social Democracy in Chicaco Express Indignation at Killing- of Miners. Members of the Social Democracy of America call for blood in revenge of the miners killed at Hazleton, Pa. Speeches were made and resolutions adopted at their meetings in Chicago, of which vhe keynote was "Revenge! Sack! Fire! Burn! Kill! Slay!" Two meetirigs were held, at which this sentiment was expressed. There were hot speeches and milder resolutions at the meeting of branch 1, at the hall, 160 Washington street. There i were hot speeches and hotter resolutions at the meeting of branch 2, to which Lucy Par­ sons belongs, held at 1545 Milwaukee avenue. At the latter place the resolutions fa­ vored killing a millionaire for every miner .who was slain in Pennsylvania. The torch was urged as the next best means of re\cnge. Speeches of a very incen­ diary nature were made by Fitzgerald, Murphy, Leo Richardson, Leroy M. Good­ win, and others. A number of meetings of Poles were also lic-ld, at which resolutions were adopted denouncing the killing of their countrymen. SYMPATHY FOK THE STRIKER?. Minnesota^ Chief Justice Reviews the Injunctions. Discussing the Pennsylvania troubles Chief Justice Start of the Minnesota Su­ preme Court said: "I have never known of -a case where the court has given such a broad interpretation of its powers as in this instance, And if the facts are as stated, it seems -to me that it has gone too far. This government by injunction is a comparatively modern institution in this country, although the power vested in -the court is older than the constitution, coming down to us from the old English law. Tq me it seems to be a dangerous tendency, and one that we should guard against most carefully. It is taking away from the citizen the right of a trial by jury and is at any time likely to lead to tyranny. Judicial tyranny is the worst in the world, because there is no appeal from it. I cannot now recollect any case where the courts have gone to such lengths in the use of the power of in­ junction as this.^ Will Call for Indemnity.

A sensational escape and a quick cap­ ture caused much excitement at the Ohio penitentiary Thursday night. Just be­ fore the hour when the prisoners wash for supper and the guards are shifted for the night turn, William Clark, a Cuyahoga County murderer doing a life sentence and employed in the broomshop, called Guard Duncan of Mount Gilead, ostensi­ bly to show him a hole in the floor. Dun­ can leaned over and was struck a vicious blow in the back of the neck with a piece of gas pipe. l>ert Spriggs, a Delaware County convict, started to assist4 the guard, when Clark, advancing with Dun­ can's revolver, which had fallen from his pocket, threatened to shoot. Clark ran to the guardroom at the front gates and gave the guard's signal with the iron handle. Capt. Saxbe, as usual, open­ ed the gate. As soon as Clark passed the gate he opened fire on the crowd of guards and spectators. His aim was wild. I11 the guardroom he pulled the trigger iigain and shot Benjamin F. James, a Dela­ ware County colored sub-guard, in the cliih. Clark Was closely followed in his at­ tempt to escape by William Dempsey, jointly convicted with him of murder. Clark ran through the guardroom, tired at the guard in the reception room, and escaped into the street. iY federal prisoner named Sarter, em­ ployed as a "trusty" in the prison yard, seized a rifle which a guard had dropped in the excitement and ran past the guard­ house close on the heels of Clark. When the fugitive reached the bank of the Scio­ to River he paused a minute. Sarter quickly leveled the rifle and commanded C'ark to surrender on pain of death. The convict obeyed, his revolver being empty, and was recaptured by the guards, who had recovered their presence of mind by that time.

If the sheriff's statement is true, and we do not see that it is credibly contra­ dicted, his firing upon the mob seems to have been a necessity to save his own life and the lives of others summoned to main­ tain the law.--Philadelphia Times. Forgctfulness of the real character of our citizen-soldi'ers is at the bottom of the hesitancy and delay about calling out "the troops" that is continually leading to just such deplorable results as this Hazleton slaughter.--Rochester Democrat * and Chronicle. Those men in Pennsylvania who were marching had a right to that highway. They were injuring no one's property. The sheriff who ordered the deputies to fire 011 this unarmed crowd of men sim­ ply ordered them to commit murder.-- Peoria Herald. This outrage should nerve every Ameri­ can heart to support by all legal methods the suppression of this iniquity o? govern­ ment by injunction.

The system which has collected oodies of ignorant and excitable workers and brought theni by inadequate wages into a state of exasperation needs reformation.

If the sheriff was indiscreet, if he fired into the crowd without due provocation, the demand for his punishment will be summary. If, on the other hand, it be found that he acted strictly within the lines of his duty, he will not lack in pub­ lic commendation- find support. Mean­ time legislators, mine operators, and min­ ers will grow more thoughtful.--Macon Telegraph. It is questionable whether under the law the attempt to interfere with Ihe peaceable marching of the strikers on the highway was not of itself a breach of the law. It is the dUty of the sheriff and ali peace officers to protect the lives and property of citizens. It is their duty to maintain law and order and prevent law­ less trespass upon private premises. It is neither their, duty nor their right to molest people passing over the public high­ ways even though they may be suspected of unlawful intent.--Omaha Bee. It is a noticeable fact that the men who set themselves up in this matter to defy the constituted authorities were foreign­ ers and the names of those who were killed and wounded show the same fact. It will be well worth the while of the authorities in making the investigation, which must necessarily be had, to inquire how far the trouble which has culmi­ nated so terribly was due to the large ad­ mixture of the foreign element among the miners, and how far our immigration laws are responsible.--Detroit Free Press.
