The "BlOOdY Shirt"

Editor of the Item If the enclosed
scrap is of any use, you are quite well
come. l see that ***, ~ Tuland ave-
nue., asks the question. Very truly,
WIN. WRIGHT.
The following supplies the intorma-
ton which we failed to fad yesterday:
POSSIBLE ORIGIN OF THE PHRASE.
A number of correspondents have
written to u number Of newspapers late
ly, inquiripg about the origin of the
phrase "bloody Shirt" so often used in
tho political discussions of the present
day. We know of no better explanation
than that given by Roscoe killing in
q speech made in New York, Sept. II,
1883. Referring to the ''bioody shirt"
he said cit is n relief to remember
that this phrase, With the thing it means,
is no invention Of our politics. 1t dates
back to Scotland, three centuries ago.
After massacre in Glenfruin, not so
savage as has stained our annals, 22O
widows rode bearing on a spear her
husbands bloody shirt. The appeal
walked Scotland's slumberng sword,
and outlawry and the clock made the
name of Gleufruin terrible to victorious
Clan Alpine, even to the third and
fourth generation" st. Louis Globe
Democrat.
According to a recent writer, what
Napoleon Bonaparte did with his enor-
nous fortune he left somewhere when
sent to st. Helena, has since remained
a mystery. In 1872 he told Marshal
BeIthier, and also Bourrienne, his
private secretasy, that he had nearly
$l0o, 100000 francs, or 500, 1000, 900 in
our money, to his personal fortune.
That he did not eXpend il is certain,
for there was no occasion TO do SO.
Then, as Emperor, the national cX-
chequer received aud honored his
drafts. In 1905, Napoleon, after
having enriched al his family,
had Sl5,OOO,OOO of his own. The
money received from the United
States for the Louisiana purchase he
used in re-cquipping the grand army
that fought and won at Austeriitz and
Wagram. At least So 100000 of that
money was never accounted for by the
Emperor. Where did be hide This
enormous sum? He was by far the
richest man in Europe in 1874, and not
trace OF money was left behind him.
The French government thinks 1t has
a clew. The result will be wSEAed for
with the creates, Interest

PIrTsBURG, Jan, 21.-William Muir
doch, an old and well-knOwn citizen.
was victimized by bunco men out of
$4,000 this afternoon. He was met on
Fifth avenue by man who told him he
had drawn $4,000 in a lottery, and
showed him a certificate 10 that effect.
Mr.. Murdoch was induced to accompany
the swindler 10 an office near by, and
was there convinced of the truth of the
story. He then went to the Bank OF
Commerce and drew-out $4,000 in cash,
and in company of the Swindler re-
turned To the office, where he was i'll
duced to take part in some kind of a
game and literally robbed of all his
money. The men made the old gentle
man believe that in order to get the
cash from the lottery he would have to
show that he was responsible. The
swindlerS have thus far escaped. Mr..
Murdoch is unable to give the location
of the Office or building in which he was
robbed.

Drier. Drier was giving his wife, who
is almost dead with consumption, fear
full fiOgging. when she turned on him
from the fire as she advanced, and beat
him until he fell senseless to the fool +.
Thinking she had killed him, she gave
the alarm. They were both arrested
and placed in the same cell. There
they renewed the battle, and it took the
combined effort of the stationhouse

the porter to separate them, so vigor-
Ously did they fight. The cOnsumptive
woman came out with flying colOrs.

NoChanee i'm the Strike,

PoTTsvILLE, Pa, Jan. 21.-There are
no new developments in the strike stu
alton. Chairman Lee denies the ru-
mored resumption on the $3.50 basis
pending arbitration. He says there is
nothing in it, but do not think the
strike will last more than month. The
company will hold out about that long
before making any concessions. Moth
ing important was transacted at tO-day's
meeting of the joint committee, but the
matter of independent action on the part
of the miners was thoroughly discussed
and earnestly urged by several members
of the committee. A meeting of the
Miners and Laborers' Amalgamated as
ISOLATION will be held at Tamaqua, on
Monday, the result of which is looked
forward to with great interest. Most of
the members belong to the Panther val
ley, and rumOrS are that there is a
strong feeling in favor of going to work
pending arbitration, which, it is ru-
mored, has been offered them.

PREPARED FOR WAR.
The Vigilantes of Missouri Make
il Hot for the Outlaws.


ST. LOUIS, Jan. 2l.-The warfare in
Stone county between the TerryS and
the vigilantes threatens to break out
afresh. After conflict six weeks ago
the outlaws and their adherents were
driven across the line into Arkansas.
Areign of terror was so inaugurated in
Arkansas by the outlaws and another
vigilance committee was organized i'll
that vicinity. A few days ago the Ter
rvs were ordered TO leave the country
in a specified number of days. Instead
of leaving they purchased twenty-five
Winchester rifles and fortified them
selves at Boone, near the Arkansas
line. The Terry faction is said to num-
Der thirty-tiVe fighting men, all armed
with Winchester rifles and revolvers,
while the vigilantes are fitting up for
bloody work. The news from Galena
indicates that bloody battle is immi
nent, as the vigilance organization was
preparing to attack the Terry party in
their fertilization, and swearing ruth
less vengeance against the whole clan.
Should the state authorities not inter-
feIe and arrest these warlike move
ments on the Arkansas border, the late
series of homicides in Stone county
may soon be overShadOwed by one of
the most deadly conflicts ever known in
the White river country.

the Chicago & Eastern Illinois

Both roads are practically controlled by
the same syndicate, of which ii. III.

The syndicate bought control of Chi

paying Boston $40 per share for ma

have developed the Chicago 81 Indiana

siOns until it covers the most important
of the Indiana coal fields. AS yet the
negotiations have been wholly informal.

Perry Convicted of Murder.

NORWICH, Conn.,, Jan. 21.-The jury
In the case of Perry for murder, this
morning returned verdict of murder
in the second degree. The verdict carries
with it the penalty of states prison for
life. The defence admitted the killing,
and devoted their efforts to prove Perry
insane, but failed. The murder grew
out of Perry's eccentricities. He made
himself obnoxious TO his neighbOrs, and
when demonstrated with, covered his
house with humorous placards, defying
the neighSprs and the whole town. The
New London Day picked the matter up
and published an expose of Perry and
his habits, under the heading of "a
Crank on Dogs" Perry visited the
Office of the Day and deliberately shot
Whittleby, the business manager, whom
he held responsible for the article.
