Brown outside behind tree with pistol

did not want any trouble and asked him
to make Brown put upshis pistol. Hard

ing. Brown ran Though the gate and
fred at Stone, who returned the fire in an
instant, the bullet taking effect in Browns

paper which has been received here con
tains'an account of the battle between the
Germans and natives at Samoa written by
Herman Kaumialle, a native Hawaiian,
who is located in Apia and who witnessed
the battle. The natives were prepared
for attack as they had heard the Germans
had formed plan to capture King Mataa-
fla and carry him off. When the German
boats approached the shore the natives
hailed them, but the only answer they re-
.ceived was the cracking of shoJs from the
revolver of a chief from Savoy named Sua
WASN'T, and Immediately the battle began.
Firing commenced at 6 O'Clock Ill the
morning and continued until 8. Then the
bodies of dead and wounded were seen
scattered about on shore. On Mataafa' 8

wounded during the principal battle.

LIVESTOCK SHIPMENTS.


A VIGOROUS Kick Against the New Sys-
tenn of Weights on Some Roads.
CHICAGO, February S.-The new method
Of charging for livestock per 100 pounds,
instead of per carload inaugurated by the
western roads January l, has proved an
expensive experiment. The action of the
Kansas commissioners ordering the rail
roads in that state to cease weighing and
charge freight per carload as formerly,
will cause the abandonment of the new
scheme at all points. Orders were issued
last evening that owing to the refusal of
the Kansas railroad commissioners TO
change their decision, cattle rates at all
Kansas points must again be made per
carload. While this does not compel the
railroads to stop weighing cattle at Kan
sas City and other points east of Missouri
river and make rates per 100 pounds,
yet the fact that the Missouri Pacific and
st. Louis and San Francisco run from
Kansas points to st. Louis, south of Kan
sas City, and consequently cannot have
their cattle weighed at Kansas City, ne
cessitates the discontinuance of the new
actual weights scheme as far east as st.
Louis. An effort will be made, however,
to continue the new system east of st.
Louis and between Omaha and Chicago.
A meeting will be held in Chicago next
week to discuss the matter.

/. Counterfeiters Arrested.

P1rrsBURG, February 9.-United States
Detective Sweeney and Deputy Marshal
Chambers arrived in the city to-day with
a gang of thirteen counterfeiters captured
in various parts of Butler county within
the past ten days. The gang has been
operating extensively for long time, and
large amounts of spurious coin is believed
to be in circulation.
The detectives also secured the dies
and molds used in making counterfeit
money. Information was lodged
against the &C jused this afternoon, and a
preliminary hearing will take place early
next week. Ia the meantime the prison
ers will be placed in jail.
While tue officers have arrested all the
principal members o. the gang, there are
several others yet to be apprehended. Ii
takes about twenty officers to make
an arrest, rs the men were considered
desperate characters. The band was re-
garded as one of the most dangerous and
successful in the country. Thousands
upon thousands of dollars II
coins have been passed in different states
by the counterfeiters themselves and
many weeks have been spent in running
them down. The men IN custody are
James johnson, John Dawson, Charles
and John Woods, Thomas Houghton, Bot
Montgomery; David Dunn, Curtis Fox
Alfred Crossman, Frank Crossman, War
rem Black and James Pryor.

TRADE REVIEW.
W eekly Summary of Business and Traffic
Throughout the Country.

Weekly Summary of Business and Traffic
Throughout the Country.
NEW YORK, February S.-R. G. Dunn IL
Co.'s weekly review of the trade says the
average price of commodities has taken a
turn upward during the past week. Ad-
vances haxe been about 8 per cent in the
aggregate and is shared about equally by
speculative and non-speculative interests.
Outside New York payments through
clearing houses in January covers about
LIS per cent larger than last year and
colder weather tends to an important
cause of depression, Pork has declined
80 OTIS. per barrel, lard fraction and
hogs Is cts. per 100 pounds,11a cts. in corn
and cent in oats. Wheat has risen p
cents, with reports that a powerful combi-
nation at Chicago has cornered May de-
liveries and the margin between New York
and Chicago prices has grown wider, Chi
cago being higher.
The iron trade is thought by some to
have touched bottom. The Thomas Iron
com pany has named $3.50 as its contract
for grey forge, equal to SIS for southern
iron at tidewater, but has not yet decided
upon its opinion on the price for foundry
grades. Some southern sellers have
withdrawn from the market, and except
for Bessemer pig no further depression
in price appears.
No change appears in rates. Coal is
phenomenally dull and many ooliieries
are stopping. The syndicate's stock OF
foreign copper increased 4,40O tons in
January. Tin is steady, and the latest
sale of lead was 1878. Business is almost
everywhere called quiet. But when COM
parsons are made some excess over last
year is usually observed-at Cleveland
about % per cent.
There is nowhere complaint as to the
supply of money.

Railroads in the Territory.


KANSAS CRY, February 9.--Since the house
passed the Oklahoma bill there has been
increased activity in railroad building in
the territory. A new line was started this
week from Fort Smith, Ark, running
northwest through Tahlequah to Cotfey-
Vile, Kan, distance of 160 miles, to con-
meet st. Louis and San Francisco with the
Kansas City and Pacific. This latter rail
way now in operation between Pooler and
Coffeyville, is being rapidly extended in
southerly direction. 1t crosses the Sapu!pa
branch of the San Francisco at Verdigrio,
passing through Fort Gibson and again
connecting with the San Francisco at
CLAYTON, the southern terminus of
the Kansas City and Pacific line.
This gives the San Francisco company
direct conn elton with this territory and
officials of that line state that the Kansas
CITY and Pacific will soon be under con-
troll of the San Francisco. From Psoler
the road will be extended north through
Olathe to Kansas City. In case tho St.
| ouis and San Francisco succeeds in its
effor "a to control the Kansas City and Pa
cItic, a new competitor will BIS in the field
for the southern Kansas and Indian Ter
ritory business, and the consolidated lines
will have almost an air line south for
| Texas business. Work is now being rap
idly pushed direct to the Oklahoma
country from Sapulpa with an idea of ulti
mate extension to Albuquerque.

RED NosEp MIKE.
A Narration of a Bloody Crime Told by
Hardened Criminal

A Narration of Bloody Crime Told by
q Hardened Criminal
WLKEsBARRE, Pa, February 9.-When
court convened this morning in the trial
of Red Nosed Mike Detective Thayer was
put upon the stand. He testified as to his
part in the ferreting out of the crime. At
ter him Captain Linden was recalled. He
gave evidence to show that the confession
made by Mike was not extracted from
him by any promise of future rewards of
being shielded from punishment of his
crime.
Captain Linden said to Mike when the
two we're alone in his Office in Philadel-
phia:
Snow, Mike, there is no one here but
you and l and God above. Tell me the
whole Gods truth'or nothing, but any
thing you say will not be used against
you"
At this point the blood-stained murderer
took the stand. His TESTIMONY occupied
over two hours, and was not concluded
when court adjourned, till the afternoon.
His story was the marathon of one of the
most terrible crimes ever executed by
human hands. His bearing on the stand
at times was indicative of that bravado
and confidence that must have belonged
to his guilty heart from the start. But
when in his story he came to the shooting
of two innocent men he completely broke
down. His swarthy complexion became
pale as death and tears coursed In steady
stream down his cheeks. His voice was
choked. It was a complete break down,
He managed, however, to say that he took
no part in the killing. ~ held back" he

or five shots in the air. This is all did"
At this point the court adjourned until
| 2 O'Clock.
W1LKEsBARRE, February 9.-It islearped
that the accomplices of Red Nosed Mike,
Bevereno and vellellas, have been cap
tured in Italy. private dispatch to that
effect is known to have reached the attor-
neys for the prosecution and Captain
Linsey and the prisoners are to be
brought here as soon as possible.

Mike resumed. When asked how he held
his revolver when Mcclure was shot he
said he held it pointing at the ground, and
the balls from the pistol did not injure or
kill anyone, as they were buried in the
ground. He denied shooting at Mcclure
at Flanagan, and also said he did not shoot
the horse.
On being questioned as to whether he
had heard that statement in his confess
sion, which was. read in court last night, he
replied:
eyes, sir, but there were very few words
in it that did not say. The reason
made the statement to Captain Linden
was because he had promised to help me,
and believed him."
At $50 to-day both sides rested and the
court adjourned till O'Clock this evening
when the attorneys proceeded with the
argument, which lasted several hours.

Citizen of st. Louis stumbles and is
Fatally Shot.
ST.. LOUIS, February Edward O.
Brock, who has been assistant cashier OF
the Commercial bank of this city for the
past five years, committed suicide at his
home, 218S Gamble street, this morning
by shooting himself in the head with 49,
calibre pistol. No cause for the action is
known. Mr.. Brock was out visiting
friends last night and returned home
shortly after midnight. few minutes
later two of his sons were awakened by a
noise which they thought was made by
the slamming of door, but on investiga-
ton their father was found dying on the
floor of his room with bullet hole in his
right temple. He remained unconscious
till his death. None of his family could
assign any reason for the act. Mr.. Brock
wss SO years old and leaves a wife and six
children. A coroner's inquest will be held
to-day, at which perhaps some light may
be thrown on the mystery.
At the coroner's inquest, which is now
in progress, the testimony of members OF
the family shows that Mr.. Breck's death
was accidental. 1t appears he had spent
a social evening at neighbours house. On
his return home, about midnight, he took
from his overcoat pocket revolver, and
while passing through very narrow pas
sage on his way to the water closet he
stumbled over broom and the pistol was
evidently discharged as he fell to the
floor. The position in which
he was found by his sons
all the circumstances in the case and the
character of the man, his business affairs
and his relations to his family all point
clearly to the event as an accident.

cratic members on the ways and means
committee have been earnestly consulting
and working on the tariff bill and the pres
emit expectation is that they will be able to
report to the house upon the senate amend.
ments next Tuesday. The indications are
the report will be confined to the recon-
mendation that the senate amendments
be rejected for the reasons stated. 1t
will argue upou the basis of the treasury
figuring that when account is taken of the
operation of the package clause and other
administrative features of the bill as we'll as
of amendments whose effect cannot be
stated in advance, but which must result
in increased revenue. The total gross re-
duction made by the bill as it came from
the senate exclusive of internal revenue
will not exceed $5,OOO,0O0. Without TAX
ing an account of these items the treasury
statistician placed the reduction at about
$13,0J0,OO0. So the report will argue the
senate's proposition, which means to take
$2S,O00,O00 off sugar and balance it by in
creasing taxes on other commodities.
