ALLEGED BEER BRiBE.
Charges That the Brewers Attempted to
 I,uy or Boycott.


 Buy or Boycott.
 NEW YORK, Jan 4-There was little else talked about among labor men yesterday ex- cept an exposure of the efforts of the pool brewers to accomplish the raising of the boy colt on pool beer by bribing the delegates of the Central Labor union. There are three distinct theories about the matter held by different factions in the labor movement The Socialists believe that it was bona fide effort on the part of the pool to raise the boycott, i'll which movement, by the use of money, they had succeeded in enlisting the aid of some of the influential men in the central body, but which was exposed by the shrewdness and honesty of ono of their num- Der.
 Other men who are opposed to the Social ists say that they can see signs in the story which lead them to believe that the whole thing is an effort by the radicals to put cer- tain men who have been opposed to them in their efforts to control the Central Labor union in bad plight before the public, while still others profess to believe that a scheme was put up by District Attorney Fellows to trap certain members of labor organizations into an effense against the law. They point as evidences of their belief that Detective Jacob Von Gerichten, who was said to have been the man who attempted the alleged bribery, has for many years been one or the favorite detective sergeants at the district attorneys office, and that MT. Fellows has always been a persistent enemy of labor or ganizations.
 All the parties to the affair except MT. Kurzenknabe, on whose authority the ex- posture was made, and his friends, are exceed ingly quiet and do not talk freely about the bribery. Secretary A. K. Seifert, of the Brewers Exchange, the man who is said to have furnished the money for the bribery, said: II do not just at present to say anything about the charges of attempted bribery. In few days may make state ment which will embody all know about the matter. You can, however, say this, that any charge that l, either directly or indirectly, person ally or through an agent, paid any money or authorized anybody else to pay any money to have the so called boycott raised is absolutely false. They talk about paying S6OO to have the boycott raised. Why, would not pay that many cents to have it raised.

More Pennsylvania White Caps.

WLLIAMsPoRT, Pa, Jan. 4-The Seventh Division of Pennsylvania White Caps has been organized and established in the vicin- ity of Lock Haven, and several gentlemen of that city have received warning notices. One gentleman says that he had received two of them-the second one informing him that visit from the band might be expected at any time. He is not terrorized, however, by the warnings, and will give them warm reception when they come. The probability is that the warning notices are the work of practical jokers, and there are no White Caps in this section

Gottschalk as a full partner, and that he was entitled to half the profits Mr. Gottschalk denied that there was any inducement whatever. Judge Stewart decided the case, holding that the plaintiff is only entitled to 7}3 per cent. of of the profits from the time he entered MT. Gottschalk'S office until be left.

 LONDON, Jan. IA popular outcry is raised over the appointment of Prince Ed ward, of Saxe- Weimar, to two sinecures over the heads of many who are far more deserv- ing and efficient. The prince is already on the active list of generals of the army, and draws over $500 week as salary, and he has now been appointed colonel of the Life Guards and given the title of Gold Stick. The people generally naturally think that the queens favorites getting too much of good thing, and pr. test against this ac- cumulation of honors in one of the royal personages.

 At Glasgow John Stevenson, a young fellow about 19 years of age, enticed a pros titute, named Mary Mckenzie, into dark court and stabbed her in the neck and ab- domen. There was apparently no motive whatever TOT the deed but an Insane freak. Stevenson was arrested and bloody knife was found in his pocket. The only motive one can suggest for the commission of such atrocities is that the persons responsible for them have been in1amed by reading about the Whftechapel fiend, and attempt to imi- tate him.
