New York, April 3O.-The stock
market was very active and strong in the
forenoon TO-DAY, but reacted and became
quieter later in the day and a larger pOr-
ton Of the gains were lost, though the
list, as a rule, was ~tractionally higher this
evening and marked advances were scored
in a lew stocks. London prices came
very much higher than the closing prices
of Saturday, and there was a heavy for
eign demand for stocks, seconded by lib
eral purchases for out of town parties.
This made a very strong opening and in
spite of very heavy r~ealizations on the
part of the bulls the advances were not
only maintained but increased, though the
pressure to sell finally began to show,
when the demand Stacked off. Other
specialties were very strong and among
the rest Pacific Mail went up on the
brighter prospects of the Panama canal,
but San Francisco became conspicuous for
the advances made. The final declines
are more numerous han usual last week,
but they are confined to small fractions.

Killed by a "Scab.''

CHICAGO, April ga Daily News
Galesburg, ILL.,, specia, says The only
thing talked of here tonight is the killing
of Herbert Newell and the dangerous
wounding of George Gable, both 20"
strikers. by Albert Hedberg, one of the
new 20" firemen.
The shooting occurred last night close
to Hedberg's house. The murderer is in
the county Jail, to guard which extra pre-,
cautions have been taken. While the
strikers say that they intend to let the
law take its purse there is a deep under
current OF feeling that may produce vio-
lence.
Hedberg claims that he was assaulted
by Newell and Gable when on his way
home. He drew a revolver and fired
twice. The first ball passed through
Newells heart and the second struck
Cable in the center of the forehead,
glancing around the skull and issuing be-
bird the ear.
There was but one eye witness, the wife
Of n OF the new engineers. She partly
%corroborates Hedberg's story. There is
considerable testimony against Hedberg to
be developed. 1t will be sworn that while
in a p%Ool-room, a short time before the
shooting, he made a threat that he would
shoot any man who followed him.
1t is alleged that Newell and Gable
were on their way to Alderman Erickson's
house to ask him to come to the caucus ;
that they did not follow Hedberg or start
a row with him.
Newell was one OF the oldest engineers
on the Burlington road and leaves a

A Point Against Cremation.

If cremation becomes popular 1t will be q
great boon for poisoners and other murderers
who dispose of their victims in such man.
ner as to leave no outward indication of
crims having been committed. 1t frequently
happens -.at several weeks, and perhaps
months, elapse before suspicion is fastened
upon the murderer, and then it is necessary
to exhume the remains and hold post
mortem and inquest in order to prove the
Gauss of death. In case Of cremation this
would be impossible. In the Maxwell case,
for instance, the little chloroformer would
in all probability have escaped had 1T not
been possible to disprove his testimony, that
he was treating Preller for disease which
rendered an operation necessary, by exhum-
ing the remains and making an examination.
The theory was plausible one and would
have had great weight with the jury.

Psper for Cigarette Making.

"There are three kinds OF paper used In
making cigarettes" explained a manufac-
turer of these articles. "They are made
from cotton aud linen rags and from rice
straw. Cotton paper is made chiefly in
Trieste, Austria, and the linen aud rice paper
In Paris. The first, manufactured from the
filthy sorapings Of ragpickers, is bought in
large qusntities by the manufacturers, who
turn it into pulp and subject it to bleach
ing process to make IL presentable. The
lime and other substances used in bleaching
have q very harmful Influence upon the
membrane of the throat and nose. Cotton
paper is so cheap that thousand cigarettes
can be wrapped at cost of only two cents.
Rioe paper is rather expensive.
"Tooacconized paper is manufactured. 1t
is common paper saturated with tobacco
In suoh way as to intimate the veins of the
tobacco leaf very neatly. 1t is used in
making tobacco cigarettes. Arsenical pre-
parations are also used in bleaching cigarette
papers and oil of creosote is produced ma
turally as consequence of combustion.
This is very injurious to throat and lungs,
and is said to accelerate the development Of
consumption in any one predispossd to the

A Hungarian Patriot.

1t is not generally known that we
have living in Milford the grandson
of noted Hungarian patriot who
hid Louis Kossuth under largo
pile of tobacco leaves in his cellar,
and thus saved him from the hands
of the Austrian executioner and en-.
able him to escape to this country.
This patriot was Joseph Tausk, of
Pirchof Trenchin Combat, Hungary,
and his grandson is Henry E. Wes-
per, who can tell some interesting
stories of the great Hungarian, who
some years ago created so much ex-
c!tement in this country. On an
other occasion when the soldiers
searched Tausk's and turned over
the pile of tobacco, Kofsuth was
hidden under the sick bed of Wes-
per's mother, then a young unmar-
ried girl in her fathers house.
Tausk's property was conGscated
and he was thrown into prison,
where he remained until the union
| of Hungary with the Austrian En-.
pire. Kossuth escaped to America,
and afterwards sent Tausk $4,000
o make up to him the loss he had
suffered in aiding him to escape
