A mnraerer confesses.

"Red Nose Nike. or Michael Rizz1lo, the
Italian leader Of the gang that murdered
Paymaster J. Brainerd McCiurg and Hugh
Flanagan on the mountains near Wilkes bar
re on October 10 last and stole $1,000, was
lodged in jail at Wilkesbarre saturday after
be had waived a hearing before the local
justice OF the Peace. captain Robert J,
Linden. tie head of the Pinkerton Detective
Agency in Philadelphia, made formal COM
plaint against the Italian and charged him
sith the murder OF The two men.
Captain Linden informed the Alderman
that the prisoner had made a full confession
to him, and that efforts were being made 10
captnre Mike accomplices.
Tnr Confession.
In his confession to captain Linden Mike
said that two months before the murder
three Italians besides himself entered into a
plot to llll McClurg and his companion
while they were returning from wilkesbar-
rswith the money to pay OF the laborers.
Their sole object was robbery, and Mike pic
turel 10 his companions that the money they
would get would enable them to return to
Italy and live in luxury ever aferward. On
the morning ofthe day set for the murder
the conspirators closely watched the paymas-
ter and his companion, and when they de-
parted for WilkeshaTre IN a carriage % draw
the money out OF the bank they instantly
made preparations for he deed.
HOW THE NuEDLR WAS DONE.
About I0-s0,o clock they saw the carriage
approaching. aud the three men hid in the
brush along the road. The horse was walk
ing slowly up the hill, and when the ear
rage passed the men were near enough 10
reach out their hands and touch the vehicle
After it had goae about fifteen yards one Of
The Italians, who had been selected for the
purpose becsuse of his reputation as a marks
man, crept out on the road and, resting a
Winchester rifle on his knee fired.
Flanagan rolled out Of the carriage dead.
In an instant another bullet from the win
cheste-w eat crashing through the head OF
the paymaster. and then the murder
ems syrlng Tor the carriage.
SHOT THE HoRsE.
The rapid shooting frightened the horse
and he dashed up the mountain side on a
wild gallop. The villain realized that ifihey
did not oveFtake the animal their game was
up. as the coveted treasure was in a vaiise
in the bottom Of the wagon. The man with
the Winchester took a good aim at the horse
and fired. 1t was a lucky shot, for it broke
one Of the animals legs and be fell.
The third man ran up to the carriage. and,
drawing a dirk, cut the straps which bound
the valise TO an iron rod in the bottom. The
other * wretches stood over the bodies Of
McClurg and Flanagan and poured bullet az
ter bulle; into them, though they had al
ready breatied their last. As Mike said.
they wanted 10 make a clean JOB Of i, for

Twenty-Six Mills Embraced in the Combina-
ton, Which Has Capital of Sc, 0O0,000

CHICAGO, July 24.-The straw-board-
makers of the country have united in one
mammoth trust Mr.. X. E. Newcomb, of
Quincy. ILL.,, acknowledges its existence,
and states that its cooperative name
is 1.-THE American Straw-board Company"
1t was organized very quietly, and the
public has not heretofore been informed of
the movement. Twenty-six mills are en-
braced in the combination, located in diff
ferent sections of the country, from
Delaware on the east to Illinois
and Wisconsin in the West. 1t also
takes in the largest dealers in
straw-board in New York, Boston, Phila-
delphia. Cincinnati and Chicago, who
practically control the trade. The capital
stock of the company is 100000. Its
purchases include the plants of the twenty
six mills and all personal property apper-
tanning thereto.
"We intend" Mr.. Newcomb said, "tO so
conduct the business that production shall
not exceed the demand, and we shall be
satisfied with fair profit, and we hope to
avoid any complaint OF exorbitant prices
hereafter. 1t may be that we shall be COM
PEELED to limit the number of mills to be
run. If we find that any one mill is not in
dividually profitable, we can let it remain
idle,o

Salt-Trust Securities Not POpular.

NEW YORK, July 24.-The Evening Post
says: Inquiries to-day in well-lnfOrmed
circles of finance lead to the belief that al
though there have been numerous small
subscriptions to the new salt company's Sc
curities. the total amount applied for is in
considerable. Tn opinion is entertained.
also. that the whole amount of stock and
bonds not subscribed for here will be taken
in London. The subscription is for Sill
100000 stock and S4,OOO,OOO bonds Since
the owners of the salt properties brought
into the combine do not take securities for
their plant. but only cash, the carrying out
of the programme ought to make large
amount of sterling exchange available, and
stop the gold exports for awhile. 1t is of
course, possible that large subscriptions
may be made here at the last moment, but
up to this time there has been no eagerness
to take up the new salt securities. The
subscription books close tomorrow.
