was very evenly distributed, aud the speculation
exhibited a broadening tendency, which has been
sbsent for the past few weeks. At il o'clock the

rsrEc1AL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I
MCKEESPoRT, September 9.-Joseph
Tonseeh. Polander about 80 years of age,
who was employed in Third ward brick
ward, and lived here about five years, died
at o'clock this morning at his boarding
house, No. Az Center street, after lying
unconscious since an early hour Sunday
morning, and it is feared that death was not
brought about by natural causes. As re-
suit of this two Poles are under arrest,
awaiting an investigation which Coroner
Mcdowell will make tomorrow.
Physicians are at work holding post
mortem on the remains of Tonsech tonight,
in CONSEQUENCE of the orders of the Coroner,
and whether or not the death was caused by
injury received from fall, as stated by two
persons, remains to be seen. The men under
arrest called in DR.. Walker, the county ply
sician, yesterday morning at an early hour,
asking him TO see the man. The doctor found
him unconscious, lying on the floor, face down
ward. Several of his teeth were missing, his
chin was bruised and his face was covered with
blood, while his abdomen looked as though 1t
had been injured.
The two men told the doctor that Tonsech
was out stealing apples at o'clock Sunday
morning, and fell out of a tree, and that
they had carried him back to the
room. The doctor called again in the evening
and found the man still unconscious and dying
Everything in connection with the death
points to the belief of those who have inquired
into ii, that it was not brought about by nat
ural causes Coroner Mcdowell ordered the
men to be held, and an investigation lmmedl-
ately upon arrival here.

A CAT IN COURT,
Pussy Appears n Witness in a Rhode
Island Chancery Suit.

Pussy Appears ms n Witness in a Rhode
Island Chancery Suit.
Providence, September "a cat-a fine,
large, educated cat-for the first time in the
history of this State, has been a witness in a
suit at law brought for trial before Master in
Chancery Peckham. The case hinged on the
possession and identity of the cat The parties
concerned besides the cat are two College Hill
ladies, Mrs. n. W Deumun and Mrs. Caroline
Richmond Doth of whom are prominent in the
social circles of that aristocratic quarter Each
lady stoutly claimed the cat as her own and
the only way to settle it was in court By mu-
tual agreement the notoriety attending a iury
trial was avoided Mrs. Deumun testified that
when she was teaching in a fashionable young
ladies' school, she had a cat for company in her
leisure hours. One day the cat disappeared
and Mrs. Deumun, some days later, discovered
what she insisted was the same cat disportipp
itself in Mrs. Richmond's front yard Mrs
Richmond declined to give the cat up. and
Mrs. Deumun's efforts to entice taDby ayay
were complete failure.
Mrs. hlchmond was represented by LAWYER
Alnasa Eaton, but after hearing both parties
the master decided that he could give no de-
cislon until the cat was produced in court Mrs
Rlchmonds coachman said that tabby was in
the country, and that by telephoning could be
got to court in two hours, Master Peckham
then adjourned the court to await the coming
of the cat
Two hours later the cat was brought IN from
its country residence and the trial proceeded.
Witnesses swore to the circus tricks thar nnssv
was in the habit of performing. Mrs. Rlchmon3
swore also that IT. mimicked persons at PRAYER
while she had heard that Mrs. Deumun's cat
never did that. Master in Chancery Peckham
said that in view of the contradictory evidence
he could come to no decision. Pending further

ON TRIAL FOR Arson.
Great Interest in the Hearing of the Mill
Burners ut Greensburg.

Great Interest in the Hearing of the Mill
Burners ut Greensburg.
GREENsBURG, September a.-The famous
mill cases were taken up in the courts here this
morning 1t was the intention of the Court to
take up the new trial of Frank Baer, upon the
convening of court this morning, but the coun-
sci for Hetzel and Francis. the Connellsville
people who are charged with the burning of
the Rambaugh mil. demanded their
trial, the case having passed through
three terms of court. Then the counsel for
William Richardson, the Pttsburg colored
man. asked that his case be taken up first, and
itwas done. Richardson. it is alleged by Fox,
the negro who confessed to the burning of the
Chambers mill at Latrobe, accompanied him
from Pittsburg TO Latrobe on the night the
mill was burned, and after he (Fox) lighted
the torch, Richardson applied it to the mill.
Richardson is mulatto, and worked long time
for DR.. Franks, of Pittsburg. Extraordinary
interest is manifested in these mill burning
cases. as the best legal talent of the bar is in
terested. The entire day was consumed in the
selection of a jury, as each juror was examined
separately, as is done in a murder case. Since
the burning of the mills, over year ago, d. l.
Chambers, the owner of the Latrobe mill, has
died, and financial troubles have swept from
Bael's father all his possessions.

The preponderance of the testimony was in

corkscrew. The jury wrestled with the case
all night, and finally agreed to disagree. A new
