A Morrible Dent,,.

KENT, Ohio, Oct. 26.-One OF the most hor
ribls suicides on record occurred yesterday.
Samuel Biehl aged "a, working for week at
Day, Williams & Co.'S glass works, was stand
ing by furnace in those works, just after q
retort had been placed in it when one Of the
workmen told him to stand aside as he wished
to get at the furnace. "Sos do l." Biehl re-
piled and throwing his pipe on the groand be
plunged headlopg through the ring from
whence the melted glass is taken and passing
over the pot landed on the intensely hot Goals
that surrounded it. So sudden and unexpect-
ed were his movements no effort could be made
to restrain him, and the heat was SO great
death musr have been instantaneous, as q
single breath drawn in that fierce furnace
would shrivel his lungs. There were but few
fragments left of the body.

OYSTER PIRATES.
Seven sEen and Three Boats Captnred at
the Oyster Beds by the Police.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Oct 26.-Fcr long time
the proprietors of oyster beds in Providence
river and Narragansett Bay have been troub-
led with thieves. Ii is almost impossible to
discover them, however, for their depredatons
are generally carried on at night; aud again,
the beds are SO large that it is difficult to guard
them. One of the largest wholesale dealers in
oysters in this city is Martin Dswing. This
year he has leased 100 acres of land off Wayatt
Point, and has spent from $1,S00 to $1,000 ior
seed AS he had plated about three bushels
OF seed he expected this season an unusually
large yield. But he was surprised to find that
the oysters seemed to be diminishing rather
than increasing, and at last concluded that
they must have been stolen. Going before the
fish commissioners, he stated the facts in the
case, and requested their assistance. This af-
ternoon the tug Fanny steamed down the river
with six Providence policemen on board, arm
ed with warrants for the arrest of the plunder-
ers. BY rare good fortune the thieves were
discovered at work. After little skirmishing
an attack was made on them, and seven men,
with three boats, were captured. They have
pleaded not guilty, and are bound over for
trial. As many Boston firms are interested in
oyster culture in this State, they will be glad
to learn that warrants will soon be served on
more of the thieves. 1t is hoped that this is
the beginning of war on them which will put
an end to their nefarlous business.

markable swiftness the flames ran up through

THE SENATE ENQUIRY.
John Roach Examined.

NEW YORK, Sept 4-John Roach was the
first witness before the Senate subcommittee
on labor sand eoucation today. The witness
said he employed about 1900 men. He thought
there was no reason why every industrious
workman should not own his own house. He
believed that the government was bound to
legislate in the interest of the workingman.
He came to the conclusion long ago that there
was no man who struck out with fixed OBJ
iect in view who would not in the end be able
to own his own house. The witness never
knew such man to fail.
The pay roll rolls for one month of the
Morgan iron works aggregate $46,500. The
average wages of employees we're $13 to S14
week. The witness said than at one time he
was a tramp on the prarios of Illinois without
a dollar in his pocket Ten years ago he
bought ship yard at Chester and at the pres
ent time more than 15C0 men were employed
there Mhose wages averaged $2.19 a day. OF
these 287 ownen their own houses. the value
of which ranged from $12C3 to 5000.
Mr.. Roach continued his testimony before
the committee in the afternoon on the subject
of free ships and labor, and advocated the pro-
lection of the government to shipping as the
only means Of regaining our supremacy on The
sea. He stated that a ship could be built iE
this country cheaper than in England at the
present day and that burdens we're only i'm
posed on the ship itself after its construction
which made it Improbable for Americans to
own vessels. His examination will be con-
tinued some time next week. Tomorrow Jay
Gould will be examined by the committee.

The Russian Novelist.

Ivan Sergyeevich Tourgueneff, the Russian
novelist, died at Bougival, France, on Mon
day, after long illness. Tourgueneff was
born in Orel, Nov. 9, 1918, and receiving his
education in Moscow, st. Petersburg and Ber-
lin was appointed to clerkshp in the Russian
Ministry of the Interior. Subsequently, on
garded by the authorities as being too liberal
TO be 1lerated, he was banshed to the prov
inces, but after an absence of several years he
was allowed to return to the capital, but he
has resided chiefly in Paris and Baden, but
visited his native country at regular intervals
and maintained an estate there. He became
known as an author first in 1843, publishing
during that year and the one following several
works of poetry. He achieved greater success
by his "Memoirs of Sportsman" humor-
ous picture of Russian rural. life, published in
1852. Fathers and Sons" "Smoke" and
other novels followed. Most of his works,
some OF which he wrote in French, have been
translated into English, German and other
languages, and among them are Liza" ION
the Eve" "Dmitri Rudin," journal of a
Useless Man" end "a Lear of the Steppe."
Some years ago his visit to Russia was made
the occasion of great literary demonstration
in honor OF the completion of fifty years of
authorship. In 1879 the University of Oxford
conferred upon him the honorary degree of d.
@. L., an honor which was especially hatteriDg,
as lust then there was much feeling in Eng
land against Russia. Tourgueneff was writer
of great ability, and his works have had q wide
circulation. One of his latest novels, Virgin
Soil," gives an accurate and intesting picture
of Nihilism as it exists in Russia, and of the
manner in which it is recfuited.
