lar, to Dallas for safe keeping. While at the
depot masked mob Of dozen men took

Not enough lines of hose could have been

made another violent speech at Chicago,

lists, whose purpose was to discuss paper
on Salvation from Poverty" Mrs. Par
sons said: Il am q revolutionist, and
believe all means are justifable to get rid
Of the present industrial slavery. The
capitalists, our masters, nullify the ballot.
Revolution by force must come, and the
sooner it comes the quicker will your

must be Winchester rifle" Concluding,

clared: For one, am going to follow
the truth il it takes me behind prison bars
and if l have to die for it,"

EnOch Arden Eclius<.d.

A peculiar case of Euoch Arden charac-
ter came to light at Montreal last week.
Eighteen years ago man named Charest
deserted his wife and young family to seek
his fortune in California. Nothing was
heard from him, and about four years after
his departure rumor reached his wife,
who had meanwhile been in great poverty,
that Charest was dead. She was soon
after urged by devoted lover to marry
him. She did SO, but they had hardly
been married three years when he was
killed by falling of bridge. After re-
spectacle delay the twice. bereaved woman
again married, this time to q farmer in
Laval county. All went we'll, they had
children and were prospecting. Wednes
day the couple were surprised by the ap-,
pearance of Charest, who had made a for
ture of over $4,000 in the mines OF Cali
fornia and came back to seek his deserted
wife. She declares she will have nothing
to do with Charest, preferring to remain
as the wife of husband No. g. Charest,
however, insists on q resumption of the
marital relations and 1t is probable the
case will 60 into the courts.

Prisoners Butchersd In the Streets.
A dispatch from Zanzibar says that in
pursuance Of the sultan's orders five ma
tives who were awaiting trial for murder
were horribly and cruelty executed in the
streets Of the town, their heads cut of and
their bodies left where they had fallen, eA-
posed and unguarded, until the evening of
the day Of execution. The sultan has also
ordered that twenty -four prisoners, in
cl1ding one woman, who have been sem
fenced for life imprisonment, be put to
death in a similar manner during the next
week, a few to be executed each day. The
British consul has vainly protested against
these atrocities.
Life Insursnce swintlie.
A New Bloomfield, Pa, dispatch to the
Philadelphia Record of the Goth, SAYS:
AN exposure of speculative life insurance
business which far outstrips in some of
its phases the doings Of any Of the sharks
who figured in the graveyard insurance
case that swept over Pennsylvania half
dozen years ago will be made within
twenty -four hours. 1t is asserted by those
conversant with the evidence thus far OBJ
tanned that it will be shown in short time
that syndicate Of weli-known and been
to-do citizens of Perry county has we'll
engaged in systematic attempt to swindle
insurance companies by procuring the is
sue of fraudulent and forged applications.
The parties involved, it is alleged, include
an insurance agent, q practicing physician
whose profession and apparent respecta-
bility served as cloak to conceal the un-
lawful transactions of the gang-a mer-
chant and several farmers.
1T is alleged that these people have been
engaged in robbing companies, mainly To-
Gated in the west, and they have become so
bold and defiant that some concerns have
been forced to compromise with them
rather than undertake to fight them in the
courts. The statement is made that the
syndicate has had altogether over S3O0.000
worth Of policies in its possession and that
its holdings at present aggregate several
hundred thousand dollars.

fought in Pennsylvania took place few
miles from Bloomsburg, Columbia county,
Pa. The pugilists were VIM. Collogy and
Michael Grant. Collogy is 27 years old
and weighs 200 pounds, while Grant is "a
years old and weighs but 1SO pounds. Both
men are miners. Seventeen bloody rounds
were fought. Grants face was pounded
into a Jelly and his body was black and
blue. Collogy's eyes were almost closed
and his cheek was cut to the bone. He
stood up 40 gamely, however, that Grants
friends finally broke into the ring ana for
fully ten minutes \ free -for-a all fight fol-
lowed. The referee declared the fight a
draw and was knocked down for his de-
cision. Both principals had to be carried
from the field.
