employing 5000 men, hay6\ \Sotified the
employees that unless they acc3N. a re-
duction of wages a suspension of OA,ra-
tions would be necessary. AT the sika
time the Reading hardware manufac.
turing company employees are on a strike
because of reduction in their wages of
from 20 to SO per cent and authority is
given for the statement that there are
more idle men in Pittsburg now than at
any time for ten years past. Republican
stump orators who are claiming for their
party the exclusive credit of the place
that the United States has obtained
among nations, and who love to dwell
on the statement that the party has
placed q surplus OF S40O, 900 In the
United States treasury, are dumb as an
oyster on the trade troubles of the coun-
Try. They thoroughly understand that
MI. Blaine Is in sympathy with the un-
necessary war taxation that impoy-
erishes the people for the sake of the
0flice holders and the public plunderers /;
and that he Is openly in favor of sur
plus distribution scheme that would
mean the permanence of the high war
taxes. All things considered, this will
oe the worst possible year to spring a
business scare on the people, and
the Republican stump orators we'll know
1t.

STRANGE STORY liz eroRGIA.
How one eyed B9oy Revealed Terrible
Murder Mystery,

Murder Mystery
About two montha ago Atlanta, Ga,
was startled by a report that Mrs. jennie
Rose had been shot dead by burglar.
The family consisted of Charley Rose, his
wife Jennie, who was an invalid, and Miss
Nancy Frazier, cousin of Mrs. Rose, who
was in the house as help. Miss Frazier
| stated that she was awakened by the sharp
| report of a pistol that as her eyes opened
! a figure rushed by her, blowing out the
| light as he did so and, jumping out of a
window, escaped. Arising from her bed
she went to the bedside of Mrs. Rose aud,
placing her hand upon that lady's head,
felt that 1t was bloody. Mrs. Rose
| uttered cry and expired.
The bullet had entered an eye, passing
| through her brain and lodged in her head.
The husband, who was an employe of the
| Air Line road, was sebt for, but manifested
no surprise when shown the dead body oi
| his wife. The neighbors began to discredit
the theory of burglary. Suspicion natur-
ally fell upon the husband aud Miss Fra
zier. They were arrested, as was also
Miss Suggs, with whom 1t was claimed
/ that Rose had been intimate. Both girls
denied that they knew anything of the
affair. After a series of examinations
running into three weeks, attended with
many uEaluaLic epIsoues, poSo was ulS'
missed.
SO far the character of Miss Frazier had
not been successfully attacked, nor was
there any improper intimacy with
Rose established. Still public opinion
insisted that some day the fact would be
established that Rose and Miss Frazier
had conspired to remove the woman who
stood in their way.
Late Wednesday night DR.. Carter was
! hurriedly called for TO attend a patient.
On reaching his destination he found a
young woman who was suffering fearful
commissions. DIR. Carter did all that he
could to relieve the sufferer. When the
child was born it was found TO have only
one eye the place where the other eye
should DO having the appearance OF deep
bullet wound. In few minutes the child
| died. Thursday morning the mother died
also, and Thursday evening mother aud
child were both buried in the same rude
| oofin. The woman was Miss Nancy
Frazier whose death, without telling the
story of her friends murder, yet furnished
full evidence of the cause.

Very Plain Law,

Judge Elcock instructed Philadel-
phia jury that house owner, who was
indicted for malicious mischief for
cutting down telephone wires, had done
just what he had right to do, since
they had been stretched over his property
without his consent. This is very
plain and simple proposition in law, and
it is passing strange that any corporation
should have the audacity to summon a
citizen into court for such clear ex
Urcise of his rights and 1t is still more
strange that any district attorney should
be found to prepare bill of indictment
against him. District attorneys and
justices of the peace do get some very
queer cases into court, however. because
their fees come out of them. 1t is time
that this way OF paying prosecuting and
committing officers was changed, as
!. its abuses are SO serious.
o one needs to be told that property
ownaowns all that is above and below
the ground, and that no part of his
possession can be taken from him,
without his consent, by private indi-
viduals. The state has power to compel
the surrender, with just compensation, il
such privileges are needed for the public
welfare. And corporations brought into
life under state charter seem to think
that they have in this respect the powers
Of the state. They are greatly mistaken.
They must buy the privileges they want,
And buy chem before they get them. The
telegraph and telephone companies
make large profits out of their
I business, as they claim and
they have no excuse for stealing
non property owners the privilege OF
putting their wires and poles on his
land. Arrest them every time they
do It; cutsdown their wires and poles
and sue them bssides for their impudent
Imposition.

Fire at East Gromd Forks

The East Grand Forks Courier in its
issue of January 4, publishes the partic-
ulars of serious fire which visited that
place Monday morning, December 81,
1883. Among the losers are several
Watertown parties. The Courier says:
Between the hours of IL and / o'clock
Monday morning the occupants of the
Franken House were aroused from their
beds by the cry of "frev' The building
was two story frame, 44x60, owned by
Peasely, Beneke & Carroll, the two latter
gentlemen now living in Watertown,
Wis. MagnusSen & Wilson, of this city,
occupied one of the lower store rooms
with general stock of merchandise.
The rest of the building was occupied by
Mrs. Mary Franken as a hotel, and was
known as the Franken House. The
flames soon spread throughout the
hotel, and but few articles were saved
the efforts of those present were directed
toward emptying MagnussenE& Wilson's
store of its contents, and quite pile of
goods was carried out and stored in the
Duffy block. The law and real estate
office OF E. F. Masterson, which adioined
the burning building, soon caught on
fire and was quickly reduced to ashes,
Michael Carroll, of WATERFOWL, Wis.
who owns blocks No. 40 and Al, in Nc
Cormack's addition to Grand Forks, was
the owner of the Office, which cost in the
neighborhood of $500, and allowed his
insurance to run out some few weeks
ago. Mr.. Masterson's loss is about $500
ON office furniture and law books. The
insurance policy expired early in Novem,
Der, and" wassnOt renewed. In the rear
of Masterson's Office a blacksmith's out
fit which had never seen the inside of g.
blacksmith's shop was stored, belonging
to Patrick Hackett, wac is now in Wa
tertown, Wis. The anvil, after the fire,
was found to be unscorched. but the bel.
lows will blow never more. The Fran
ken House, Notwithstanding the report
in the evening paper to the con-
trary, was insured for $4,000 in the
Home, of New York. The building cost
about $4,000. Magnussen & Wilson's
stock was insured for $4,000, $1,000 in
the Continental, of New York, E. F.
Masterson, agent, and $1,000 in the
Hartford.
This is the second fire which has visited
East Grand Forks during 1883, destroy
ing the two finest buildings in the place.
Under the circumstances the Franken
House will not be rebuilt The Office OF
the East Grand For ks Courier was NOV
ed Wednesday to the site devasted by the
flames.
