AN exchange gives as a reason why
paint peels from buildings that nearly
all the oil sold as pure linseed is largely
made up Of porgy oil. The nature oi
this fish oil is entirely different from that
made from seed and it does not dry near

can press the hand lightly over it with
impunity, but press the finger on it and
push slightly, and you will find, even
after it has been on several days, that
the paint has not set," but the outer
skin can be easily removed, leaving that

from peeling off is to let each coat-and
particularly the first-remain from ten

other coat.

the Committee OF the House OF Representatives as

while held the Office OF Secretary Of the Treasury,
you pleased To add that you wish to relieve me
from all obligations OF secrecy, and TO express your
desire that all members Of your Cabinet may be

mons, 1 refused to answer any and all
questions which required me to state ang
conversation between you and myself concerning
official matters, whether such conversation took
place at q meeting of the Cabinet or at any time,

of a purely legislative government. In any view

Three DesperadOes Kill Three Men.

AtNewark, N. j., July 13, three young Ger
mans, brothers, named Tieborn, who have
been known as desperate characters for
years, were arrested by Police Officers Dick
erson and Elsden for disorderly conduct.
As the officers attempted to march them OIL
they drew revolvers and shot Elsden dead,
and fatally wounded Dickerson. Escaping
from the crowd, the desperadoes ran up
the street to T. w. Dawson's tannery, on
River street, where they formerly worked.
There they called for Mr.. Meyer, the fore.
man, who had discharged them, but not find
ing him, they commenced an indiscriminate
firing on the shop, which resulted in the
killing of John Albers, the assistant fore
man, and the wounding of two workmen.
The employees of the shop turned out en-
masse, and chased the murderers toward the
river. In pursuit the workmen used stones
and knives, striking the murderers several
times before they reached the river. The
latter leaped into the water and attempted
to escape across, but were stoned to death by
the outraged workmen. The wounded were
taken to st. MichaePs Hospital. One of
them, named Fisher, is dead. DickersOn will
not recover, and the wounded are in a pre-
carious state. Albers, Meyer, and Elsden
leave fami les.
The body of one of the Tieborns has been
recovered from the river. 1t shows marks
of bad cutting about the wrists. Men are
now engaged in dragging the river for the
others. The shooting had no connection
with the recent labor troubles here, as the
murderers were desperate characters, and
shot innocent men out of pure deviltry.
During the excitement, 7. w. Dawson
proprietor of the factory where the shooting
occurred, was robbed of $2,230 in checks
which ne was about to deposit. Policeman
