DUQUESNE'S FIRE BUGS.
Alleged Attempt to Burn and
Rob the Village. 4
WHO ARE THE GUILTY PARrIEsf

Duquesno Had Strike n short Time
Ago and Many People Think the strIk-
ers Are at the bottom of the Incen-
diary Business.
PIrTsBuRG, July ga most daring at
tempt was made 70 burn the village Of Du-
quesne, In this county, and 70 rob the houses
and stores Of number OF villagers. Both
attempts were partially successful The only
Methodist Episcopal church in the place was
completely destroyed by fire, and the rear Of
the house Of Mr.. Gray, chief clerk Of the Al
legheny Bessemer Steel works was badly
scorched. Three other buildings were en-
tered and robbed
The Perpetrators Would Have swung.
Duquesne was the scene, two months ago,
Of most stubbornly contested strike OF steel
workers. Since the settlement Of that difil-
Guilty the people Of me place have enjoyed
peace and quiet, except when an occasional
iignt between the strikers and non-union men
disturbed the village affairs 1t is not too
much 10 say that If at any time the perpetra-
tors OF this last outrage upon the happiness
and security Of the people had been caught a
ynching party would have followed
The First Fire of the Night.
Frank Gray, the chief clerk at the Allie
gheny bessemer steel works, lives in pretty
frame house ON the hillside He was awak-
ened at l a m. by the smell of smoke, and
found his portico covered with smoking cot
ton waste. Fortunately the crew OF pass
ing train had left their cars and had extin-
guished the flames Mr.. Gray incurred the
enmity of the strikers and seems disposed TO
charge the inoendarism to their sympa-
thizers
Mrs. Same Got the Drop on Him.
Twenty minutes later the Methodist Epis.
copal church, which stood across the way
from the house OF H. z. Smith, director Of
the Steel company, was set on fire and
destroyed. Men had been in MIR. Smiths
yard, with the object, it is supposed of set
ting fire TO his house, but they were fright
ened away by dogs Twenty other buildings
near by were endangered by the flames. One
of the marauders about the same time visited
the house of William Same, but before his OBJ
ject could be ascertained Mrs Same opened
the shutter and thrust a revolver in the in
truders face, and he fed.
who Are the Fire Bugs9
There is division Of opinion as to whether
or not robbers OF friends OF the strikers tried
to burn the town. William Oliver, who
owns $1,000 worth of houses at Duquesne,
and to whom belonged the Gray and
Smith houses, blames the strikers, and mon
tons two men who are under suspi-
cion. Mr.. Gray and Mr.. Smith are cautious
in their expressions The town peop.e de
cline 70 believe that the strikers are in any
way guilty, as the strikers all live at Du
! quesue, and would be the worst sufferers
I The loss on the church is 1000 The triple
attempt 10 burn the town has aroused in
teuse indignation, and mas meetings will b.
held 70 raise funds and employ detectives t.
run the perpetrators down.

BALTIMORE, July 29.-Friends of Jake

T. Norris at an uptown hotel and assured
him that Kilrain would himself go to Misss-
sippi and give himself up if he were indicted
by the grand jury Of Marion county, Missis-

left for the south. 1t is known now that
Governor jackson would not issue a warrant
for Kilrain's arrest without an indictment
being returned by the grand jury Of Marion
county against Kilrain. When that is done
the governor will no longer hesitate.

Niagara Falls.

In the summer of 1883, Mr. Charles Gra-
ham, OF New York, one of the finest aquarel-
lists s,i IN the country, produced a water-color
Of Niagara Falls, remarkable in its accu-
racy OF drawing, in it's marvellous coloring,
in its mastery handling of tones and ef-
fects, all OF which have been perfectly
reproduced. AS the point Of view of this
picture is near the Michigan Centraps
station at Falls View, and represents it's
vestibuled limited train at that point in the
foreground, it obtained possession of the
water-color and the copies made therefrom.
The latter are printed in color, 15h by22
inches, upon paper 221l by % inches in size,
and when framed can not be distinguished
from genuine water-color save by an ex-
pert.
They bear no advertising, save what is
involved III the title, "MlcH1GAN CENTRAL

number of them will be furnished TO the
public at Fifty Cents each, which is very

st. Paul Lad Nearly Loses a Finger by
the Rush of a Fish.
A peculiar accident occurred the other
afternoon to St Paul youth named Eph
Wells. Wells and another lad proceeded to
lake near the city in the morning on
fishing excursion, and angled during the
entire forenoon without getting bite.
Wells was fishing without rod, and had the
business end of his line adorned with
large frog, the other end being wrapped
around his finger Suddenly large fish
seized the bait and made such determined
rush Herewith as to cause the strain on
the line to cut the young tisherman's finger
almost to the bone. Surgical aid was OBJ
tanned, and it was at first thought that the
member would have to be amputated.
Operation was deferred, however, and it
was hoped that the finger might be saved
without resorting to amputation.

RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL,

Michigan University has now more
students in attendance than any other
American institution of learning.
In Korea the native Government
last year ordered the missionaries to
cease preaching. Eight months after
ward, comparing notes, they found that
the converts had doub ed in number.
IN Copenhagen a school dealing
with social and political questions has
just beon opened for women. Among
the branches taught are contemporane-
Gus history since lS1S constitutional
law, ethics and psychology.
AT a recout session of the New
England Conference at Worcester,
Mass, q committee was appointed to
meet q similar committee from other
religious bodies to arrange for the
publication of a strictly moral daily
newspaper.
About eighteen and half million
persons, it is estimated, pursue the
scheme OF study laid down by the Inter-
national Sunday school Lesson Com
mittee. That committee recently met
at Saratoga for its nineteenth yearly
session and mapped out the work for
1891.
One head Of a public school said no
could always toll when boy COM
menced to uso tobacco by tho records OF
his recitations. Prof Oliver. Of tho
Annapolis Academy, said he could in
dicate the boy who used tobacco by his
absolute inability to draw clean
straight line. Medical Record.
The Methodist Book Concern last
year declared u cash dividend of $780,
OO0 and is in proportion to its capital
the most profitable OF the publishing
concerns in America. All OF which
must deeply interest those superanu-
ated ministers for whose support the
net profits were originally set apart.
-Piety is the only proper and ade-
quate relief Of decaying man. He that
grows old without religious hopes. as
he declines into imbecility. and feels
pain and sorrows necessarily crowding
upon him. falls into gulf of bottom
less misery, in which every reflection
must plunge him deeper and deeper,
and whore he finds only new gradations
OF anguish and precipices of horror.
DR.. S. Johnson.
The common school has, under
present circumstances. but one object
Education in the primary branches
OF learning, as preparatory to some
thing higher, and this is impossible
without an indirect moral influence. 1t
does the tilthicst boy solid good to be
partially cleaned up and attend pub
lie school once or twice day. Let
the community. as whole. then,
Catholics us we'll as Protestants, unite
in dccreeing that the people shall con-
troll their schools, because the schools
belong to the people, and the people
do not belong to any one church.
