TIE WAR IN EUROPE AND BUSINESS.

The effect of the war in Europe upon
New York is mixed. While it does NOT
materially improve business at present. il
has had the effect of putting up the price
OF everything the people live on, and so it
bears hard upon those who arc doing moth
ing, and those working for low wages
The farmers who have grain are reioiced
as well they may be, ut the advance it has
caused, but the poor laborer, the under
paid clerk, and the half-starved seamstress
don't like it so well, for while il has
doubled the cost of their living, it has not
increased their wages, The merchants
hope to profit by it, for they reason that if
it puts up the price of produce the farmers
will not only buy more freely, but they
VIII pay Tor what they have already
bought, and make the wheels run more
smoothly. The trade in arms is getting
to be a big thing. American arms have
always been flvorities in Europe, and This
war has given fresh impetus TO the
business The Colt and Remington Ar
mories are now raining, night and dav
on both Russian and Turkish orders. and
ship loads are sailing daily.
A vessel loaded with arms and ,mp,u
milton for Russia sailed yesterday, and AS
they were paid for before they left the
port, as well as the vessel that carrioI
them, The whole concern is Russian pron.
erty. The vessel and cargo is valued pt
Sl,OOO,O00, making it tempting prize
Accordingly a party OF spectators, acting
in concert with the Turkish representative
here, have bought feet steamer, and mt

Who are Rioters,

Several PIttsburg rioters have been
before Judge Thomas Ewing, President,
Judge of the District Court of Allie
gheny county. During the testimony
on behalf of the accused it came out
that the strikers had received legal ad-
vice on tie subject before the strike oc-
Cured. in commenting on this fact
his Honor remarked that the lawyer
who advised the men they were not
rioters, Was fool or a knave. To
constitute rio., OF prove party gull
y of riot, be said, 1t is hot necessary,
not essential that a word be spoken.
Ii three or NOR. petsors assemble
together to prevent by force the per-
forman3e of lawful act, or to compel
the doing Of an unlawful act, it is riot.
If crowd gathers IN frOrt Of a mans
house aud threatens to beat him if be
emerges, and Iemai there, though not 4
hand Is uplifted, it is riot. These men
had been told if they were not beating
the employees or crearisg a tumult it
was not riot. 1t is not necessary to
show active participation in the out
break. Every man who will not as
sis: to queil riot ought to go to his
home at once. His presence lends
moral supper, TO it, and he is guilty in
law and morals.
lie referred to the act of Assembly
passed on the 22d of last March, and
explained that under this act TO find a
man guilty it Is not necessary that he
be actually present during the time of
riot. If, for instance, the accused at
any meeting of the employees of a road
gave advice, innocent though 1t might
appear, which tended to encourage the
men to prevent the running of trains,
he would be just as guilty in the eyes
of the law as the men who followed the
advice. If 4 man ten miles away from
tie scene of the riot advises men to go
and iuaugurate 1t, he is liable to be III
dicted convicted and punished, and
holding this Interpretation of the law,
be bound over the accused for a fur
ther hearing The Pittsburg lawyer
who eounselled the strikers may not be
smart enough to keep himself ont of the
clutches of the law, provided his name
can be assertained He ought to be
shown up, SO that Pitts5urgers may
know to whom in part they are indebt-
ed for the disgrace which has fallen
upon their city-.Nortk .American.

Trying to Rome in Lancaster County
Man Who Proued too Sharp.

Trying TO Rope IN a Lancaster County
Man Who Prored too Sharp.
The Lancaster Examiner and Express
tells the following terrible story of
crime in the Capital City Last Thurs
day night one of the leading drovers of
LitItz who has been on the road for at
least twenty years, stopped at Harris
burg, aud registered at the City Hotel,
opposite the depot. Feeling like
strengthening out after his long ride
from Pittsturg he lit a cigar aud walk
ed over toward the depot. He was
there accosted by a young man, who
complained about having to wait for a
train for Baltimore, and said that he
had con.e from Columbus, Ohio, He
got into an animated conversation with
our drover friend Mr. A, and invited
himto drink a glass of beer with him
which A. assented to, and told him the
City Hotel was open. The young man
from olumbus then said he had just
taken beer there and it was ''no good,'.
aud dropped into saloon, The second
one fronting the depot below Eby's
corner.
Seeiug the drift of things and being
fond of adventure, A let him have all
the string he wanted, though he had al
ready recognized him as Harrisburger.
The party IN the saloon took ale and
sat down at the table. The Columbus
man now talked cotton, Yankee, &c,
aud hailed from Georgia, going to see
his sister in Cumberland county said
he had lost $50 by sharp game Yankee
played on him, and professed great ad-
iniration for Yankee cuteness. He then
iumbled around IN his pocket ard said
that he picked three of the cards the
Yankee did the trick with, and he would
show him all about 1t. He pulled out
the cards an0 napkin for lay out, al
so large roll of notes, and began his
explanation in practical manner. He
wanted to bet A. $40 that he could
tell him a certain card. No. ., the
"stool," now stepped in and said Gaor
gla was greeny ana that A. and he
could easily fleece him, and offered to
divide the $40 bet with him against
the Georgia man. A. having "pIped
them off, thought the time for the
denouement had come, and, after ask
ing them what they took him for, gave
them his opinion about three card
monte, and lntimidated that laws of
California, which made it a penetentiary
offense to play the game, ought to be
on our statute books. These parties
are known as regular habtues in the
vicinity of the Harrisburg depot.
These same gentlemen paid Lancaster
visit on a public occasion not 50 long
ago, but our police promptly stopped
their IIrtle game. The gang is no cred
it to Harrisburg or its police authori-
ties.

Il Young Woman Shoots Her Traduce

Il Young Woman Shoots Her Traducer.
A horrible tragedy was enacted in
Keokuk county, Iowa few days ago,
in which Miss. Caroline White, about
seventeen years old, shot aud killed
Mr. NJ. Holland man having a wife
and several childreu The cause Of
the shooting is said to be that Holland
had made statements among young men
that Miss White ras not a virtu u)us
girl, and that he had intercourse.
Her family had attempted to get Hol-
land to deny these statements IN writ
ing, and be had several times consent
ed to sign bis name to paper brand
ing himself as liar, but evaded 1t.
Exasperated to frenzy, the girl resolv
ed to aveuge herself, aud accordingly
she went to the house of a neighboring
farmer where Holland was at work iu
the harvest field just before dinner, os-
teusitly to chat with the women and
get some dress patterns.
When dinnor was nearly over, and
all of the men had LEFT the table except
Holland, the girl went to him, present
ed a revolver to his head and sent a
bullet crashing through his brain. he
fell to the foor, when she discharged
four barrels more into bis body. She
was not excited, but calm and deliber-
ate, aud said twas all right. She was
arrested soon after and placed under
bonds for future trial for murder. She
is said to be an estimable girl, against
whose name not breath OF suspicion
has been raised except by Holland.
She has lived with her parents always,
and is an intelligent, industrious and
duti!ul daughter. The trial will deyel-
op how much reason there was for this
terrible method of vengeance. If it

pathy will be with the defenseless girl,

outside of obedience to military rule,
and military rule means strong gov

means Royalty. They maintain that
a few more strikes or communistic

IHE following account OF an attempt

at small village styled Drytown,
northeast of Marietta, Lancaster coun-
ty. Rev. Christian Nlssley, an old
Mennonite preacher, lives near the vii

"a party of tramps attacked his house,
and since then the family have been
particularly careful abou. tramps
On Tuesday night shortly after nine
o'clock three tramps came to his resi-
Gencc and demanded money The
family became very much alarmed and
blew horn and rang bells to call the
neighbors to assist them. Mr.. Mss
ley's son Joseph took loaded gun,
ana after some persuasion the women
in the house allowed him to go outside
He went around the barn and shortly
heard shot fired and he then secreted
himself in ditch, waiting for the men
to get closer. When they got near
him, he fired, thinking they we're the
thieves, but instead of that, they were
neighbors Of Nissley, who where CON-
ing to their assistance.
The firing that young Mr. Nissley
heard was the party who was coming to
the rescue, trying their pistols TO see
that they were in good order. His
shot resulted fatally, the discharge en-
tering the upper part of Mr.. Moore's
stomach. As soon as the shot was fir

were with him. 81 m shot," and i'm

One of the Lancaster papers states
that on night not long siuce Howard
Montgomery, while driving on the old
road one mile west of Bird-in Hand
Lancaster county, was attacked by
three men and robbed of watch val
ued at S25 and number of other
things. Mr.. Montgomery, who is from
Washington county, this State, had
been or a visit to James Gilmore, of
Doe Run Chester county, and was on
his way TO Lancaster, TO take the cars
for home when assaulted One of the
men seized the horse, another, struck
him with a stone, inhicting severe
wound on the head one and half in
ches long, cutting to the bone, while
the third committed the robbery. Mr..
Montgomery became unconscious from
the blow, and upon returning to con
sciousness, went to Bi,din- hand, where
be remained that night, and arrived in
Lancaster the next day on his way
home in Washington. From what he
was able to discern before he became
unconscious he describes two of the
men as being we'll clad and about five
feet six or seven inches tall, and the
other rather poorly clad and fully six
feet tall.
