The Belgian Socialists.
UNEAsrNEss IN THE HoT-BED OF
CONTINENTAL SOCIALISM.
SOWING SEEDS OF DISCoRD.
The Belgian Socialist Fomenter of Dis
turbanoe and an Uncompromising
Hater of Everything Tend
ing Toward Peace.

LONDON, July 26.-After long period
OF silence and apparent inactivity the
Belgian socialists are showing signs of
uneasiness which enthusiastically portend
a demonstration of some kind before long,
unless the authorities shall overawe
them in advance of an outbreak, which is
not likely Belgium has for many years
been q hot-bed of socialism, in which have
developed some of the most violent and
unreasoning specimens Of the peace dis
turber ever seen in Europe. Nor have
the operations of these men been con-
fined to the country Of their origin. In
every one of the socialist outbreaks
which have taken place in England, Ger
many and France, at various times, the
Belgian socialist as fomenter of dis
turbance was far ahead of his French, Ger
man or English brother. He is an
agitator, and an uncomprising hater Of
everything tending toward the peace,
prosperity and happiness of the working
man who is satisfied with his condition.
Every one OF the numerous strikes which
have taken place in Belgium during the
five years have been instigated, engi-
neered and prolonged by socialists,
whose only object was to create and pro.
tract discontent among those who would
work If they were permitted to, and evi.
dence is rapidly accommodating that the
leaders of that lawless party are medi-
tating another appeal to the pas.
sions, prejudices and jealousies of the
now apparently contented operatives ~
the manufacturing districts The very
low standard of wages in Belgium has
hitherto furnished the socialists with
ample means of melting the working
men to rebellion against their employers
whenever it has suited the purposes OF
the agitators to do so, and even now the
workers are having poured into their
ears tales of enormous profits accrulng
to the masters from the ill-paid work OF
their operatives, miners, etc, which will
just as certainly bring about repetition
OF the strikes of two and three years
ago as the same arguments did upon
those occasions.

NATURAL GAS PLAYING OUT.

An Expert Says that Two Years More
win Exhaust the supply.
PIrTsBuRG, Pa, July 26.-Selwynn
Taylor, prominent local mining engl-
neer and coal expert, thinks natural gas
is giving out. He said: within TWO
years at furthest coal lands will be sell,
ing for what they We're considered
worth before natural gas was thought OF;
This will be due largely to the failure OF
the gas fields to supply the demands
made upon them Gas, like oil, will IN
time exhaust itself. New fields may be
opened, but taking sll in all, think the
outlook for coal was never so bright
since natural gas came in use. 1t is not
published, but all the large gas fields are
playing out. Murraysyille has seen its
best days, and all the wells in the Beaver
and Ohio valleys are going. The pros
poets for fields large enough to take
their place in case of total failure are
not bright by any means. The big nat
ural gas companies recognize this as a
fact, and are e1pending thousands OF
dollars on process for making fuel gas.
This is significant. In my Judgment

An Important Suit Decided.

tuck, formerly officers of the much-sued
Single Mems Endowment association.
Scheibel claimed that he Joined the asso-
citation upon false representations made
by circular sent out by the company, in
which it was stated that the association
was legally incorporated. Afterwards
the supreme court declared that the in
corporation was illegal. This constituted
the fraud. Judge Young has decided
there was no Misrepresentation of facts
in the case, and that the company was
not responsible for the decision of the
supreme court. This decision is import
ant because it disposes of large class OF
suits that would undoubtedly have fol
lowed if this one had been successful.

THE DETAILS OF A MURDER IN
THE INDIAN COUNTRY.
LIQUIDATING AMoNEY DEBT
A wealthy Farmer Kills His Hired Man,
and Cutting OF the Head Places
the Body In the River--The
Murderer Captured.

FORT SMITH, Ark, July 26. - Two
brothers, named Joe and Reed Martin,
were lodged in the United States Jail
here, charged with one of the worst
murders ever committed in the Indian
country Ernest Adams, who was In
the employ of the Martins, quarreled
with Joe Martin over watermelon on
Sunday morning, July 10. Later In the
day he took his gun and announced that
he was going turkey hunting. Joe Mar
tin overlook him near O house, and after
knocking him down and abusing him, in
plain view of the people at the house,
took the gun and the two disappeared in
n bend OF the road. Presently gunshos
was heard In the direction the parties
had gone and shortly afterward
Martin came back by the house
and stated the gun had been
discharged accidentally, which
gave Adams a scare aud he had run off
through the woods. There was blood on
the gnn and also on Martins hands,
which created suspicion, but nothing
was done at the time. Adams did not
return, and the next day search was
instituted. A. bloody trail was followed
heard to the house Of Martin, and 1t was
plainly apparent that body had been
deposited ih the cellar, but had been re-
moved. Martins saddle stirrup was
covered With blood, and mule tracks
near the entrance to the cellar convinced
the searchefs that the body had been re-
moved on the animal. The mule tracks
led from the house to Red river, a dis
tance OF one mile, the trail being marked
by blood. Here the mule had been tied
by the waters edge, and Martin had evil
IDENTIFY carried the body out into the
river, and had removed his shoes to wade
in, as the prints of his bare feet were
visible in the sand. The river
was dragged, and bed quilt and
one of Adams shoes were brought
to the surface, The search was Gontin-
ued, and the body Of the murdered man
was found one mile below where the
quilt and shoe wore discovered, minus
the head which had been cut off, and
has not yet been found. The remains
were fully identified by the clothing.
Adams had been shot In the back, and it
Ia supposed his murderer cut off his head
when he put him in the river, to prevent
. Identification. The murder occurred on
Horse Prairie, about 150 miles south of
Fort Smith.
Reed Martin is held only as accessory,
the supposition being that he assisted his
brother In his endeavor to conceal his
crime. Joe Martin denies his guilt, not
