WHEN cloth peddlers come
around, the country merchants de-
mand that the newspapers show
them up and call them swindlers.
And they do it, for the benefit of
legitimate merchants who pay taxes.
And then when a boy buys a
four dollar press and few fonts of
type, and starts an stamateur" lob
office the merchants let the boys do
all their printing and let the coun-
try newspapers go to the dogs
There is something wrong abou,
this, and the country merchant
ought to see it, but he don't, and
the country editor don't get on his
ear about it as he ought to.-Ma-

London, Nov. 10.-A Times dispatch
from Paris says: The crew of the Brit
ish ship Coringor, Captain Gibson, from
New York September 29th, have been
arrested at Antwerp. The consul is
investigating an outbreak which oc-
CURED during the voyage. The mate
had several times to repress insubordi-
nation, which on Nov. Sd reached such
height that the captain ordered the
arrest of the ringleader, one Kearney,
of Liverpool. The crew resisted. The
captain seized revolver, and the mu-
tineers also armed themselves. The
mate struck a man with a hatchet, in
flicting injuries which proved fatal on
the fifth instant. This act restored
order and Kearney was arrested. The
mate and five sailors are under deten.

A British Protest.

Constantinople, Nov. 10.-The Brit
ish ambassador has protested to the
Porte against the appointment, just an
nounced, of Kiamtl Pasha as counsellor
and under secretary of the grand vizier.
Kiamtl Pasha was recently dismissed
from the governorship of Aleppo at the
joint request of the English and French
ambassadors because of his oppression
of Armenians at Teitchun. 1t is re-
ported that Hafuz Pasha, who is ap-
pointed minister of police, is the same
man whose punishment, jointly with
that of Chevket Pasha, was demanded
in Lord Derby's celebrated dispatch
after the Bulgarian atrocities.

CLEANED our.
Frank Murray Gets Up Ute War
or His Own-He Loses His Life.

i
Rawlins, Nov. 10y Yesterday after.
noon about 4:3o O'Clock, government
teamster, Francis Murray, shot a man
by the name of Chas. Chapman, of Los
Angeles, California.
The ball took effect in Chapman,s
head. He is still alive but cannot re-
cover. Murray then loaded his car
bine and revolver and proceeded to
clean out the neighborhood Of the:goy-
ernment wagon corral, where the shoot
ing occurred.
He fired several shots at citizens and
soldiers, and for few moments created
a lively commotion.
Sheriff Jas. G.. Rankin, brother Of
the well known scout Joe Rankin, came
upon the scene and seeing that it was
impossible to take the man alive, and
that the lives of himself and others
were in danger, fired with double
barrelled shot gun and killed him
almost instantly.
A coroner's inquest was held soon
after the shooting and the verdict fully
exhonerated the sheriff from all blame
and complimented him for his efficien-
cy. Neither of the parties shot were
citizens of Rawlins.
Murray was under the influence of
liquor at the time of the shooting.

results it is plain that the official can

THAT BRIDGE ACCIDENT.
A Terrible Wreck of fCars-Wonderrul
Escape of Conductor kinney.

Terrible Wreck of fCars-WonderruI
Escape of Conductor kinney.
st. Louis, Nov. 10.-A visit to the
st. Charles bridge. one span Of which
fell last night, disclosed terrible
wreck and destruction of property.
Conductor Kinley testified before the
coroner's jury this afternoon that the
train was all right when it passed onto
the bridge. Another theory is that the
bridge was struck by lightning, very
heavy storm having prevailed about an
hour before the disaster. He heard
the crash of the timbers and iron, and
great splashing of water. He sprang
out of the side door of the caboose on to
the floor Of the bridge approach. only
few feet from the chasm, and before
he could regain his feet he saw the ca
boose plunge down the awful abyss Of
eighty feet. His escape is one of the
most wonderful on record.
Charles Irwin, brakeman, was on
the top OF the caboose and went down
with it, and was so terribly mangled
tnat ne died at noon to-day.
The bodies of Wearen, Hyde and
Barnhart were enclosed in handsome
caskets and sent home by special train
this afternoon, and Irwin will probably
be forwarded to Ohio tomorrow. Som
mers is receiving every possible atten-
tion at the Gait House, St. Charles.
The coroner's jury heard the testimo-
ny of Conductor Kinley and Mr. Stra-
hen this morning, and adjourned until
tomorrow morning. Kinley swore that
he had taken hundreds of much more
heavier laden trains across than the one
under which it broke, and that it had
recently been inspected by competent
person and pronounced sound, and he
could give no reason for the accident.
Mr.. Strahen simply related his expe-
rience. The damage to the bridge is
estimated at about s75, 900; the value
