The Canned-Goods Packers.

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-Che association of
Western packers of canned goods met here
in annual session to-day, with liz members
present. President Ballinger, in his annual
address, recommended that steps be taken
to decrease the output, as there is too much
canned goods on the market. There are
eighty-three factories in tine association,
and each of these is defendant in a suit for
infringement of soldering patent. The
question of how to get rid of these suits
will come up. as will also the question of
how to reduce the output. The members
repndiate all hints at trust, and say it is
impracticable.

A Missourian Creates Sensation.

LONDON, Feb. 13.-Luke Emerson, Mis-
souri, horse-dealer, got very drunk last
evening and attracted a great deal of at
tention from the rough element in the
streets through which he staggered. At
late hour he wandered into Hanway street,
where he declared that he had been robbed
papers. Suddenly he drew a revolver and
fired four shots into the crowd, wOunding
two men, one of them seriously. He was
arrested, arraigned in the police court this
morning and remanded for a week, pending
the result of the injuries of the wounded
men. Emerson alleges that he fired in self
defense, as he feared further violence after
announcing that he had been robbed.

No BaIl-Playing I'm the Coliseum.

ROME, Feb. 13.-The government con-
sented to give the use of the Coliseum to
the American baseball players, but it has
been found that the dangerous state of the

from the recent riots will permit the
Americans playing here. The teams arrived
at BrindiSi on Friday.

bermaid employed in the family of Edward
city, was arrested, to-day, on charge of
rObbing her employer. 1t is thought her
populations will reach $1,000. Maurer is
wealthy. but rather careless in handling
his money. He was accustomed to put the
days receipts in box i'm his room when he
closed up at midnight, without counting it,
and then deposit it the next morning.
For some time he thought he observed de-
ficiency in the pile in the morning, but
thought his wife was getting little money
on the sly with which to buy him pres
ent, and for time said nothing about it.
Last night, however. he marked his green
backs, and to-day, with the aid of an of
ficer, discovered $110 of the bills in box i'm
Rosa's room. There was 1915 more there,
which she admitted having stolen. and it
was found she had 5000 deposited in bank.

Balfour to Be Made Scapegoat.

LONDON, Feb. 13.-At Conservative
meeting, held to-day. Mr.. Balfour was
threatened with all sorts Of political pun
ishment, and several of the speakers went
so far as to openly denounce him as a man
who had sacrificed the prospects of his
party in order to wreak petty vengeance
upon political opponents who had over
matched him in debate. The meeting was
very excited one, and the structures upon
the course of the Irish Secretary were con-
tinued by several indignant Tories some
time after the meeting had adjourned. At
least one member of Parliament if not 9TH

House of Commons, and the conviction is
growing that he will shortly. find it con-

George II. Lawrence.

This excellent young man died at
the residence of his brother, G.. A.
Lawrence, Luling, Texas, on tue 23rd
of August. HIS death was a sorrow

of suffering, alleviated by the best
medical skill and the tender ministr-
ations of those who loved him, his
spirit passed into the heavenly land.
Many hearts grieve sOrely for him
dying so far away and so early; but
their grief is tempered by sweet
memories of a beautiful life. He
had the sturdy manliness and the
cheerful, patient industry, the
strength and the gentleness. the
courage and the unSelfshnesS which
enter into the makeup Of all noble
characters. Choosing the life of
mechanic he la bored at his calling in
Raleigh y. c., Columbia, S. c., and

his conduct aud his bearing were the
same. Faith in the Redeemer was
his Inspiration and the unerring
word of God was his guide. To
such an one life is joy: labor is
happiness and self-denial is sweet,
Over him the grave has no victory !;
| for him death has no sting.
The funeral services were largely
attended and were conducted by
