THE Dr.. PILE MURDER.
Was the Wrong Han Hungl A Dying
Confession.

Tuesday evening, December 18th, a
colored man named Minnow Rogers
was run over by freight train at Hi
nois station on the Kansas & Arksn-
sas Valley road, and few hours later
died. Rogers was q gambler, whisky
psddlex and generally hard character
When all hope.Of recovery from his in
iuries had vanished the dying man
made confession of a most horrible
crime and one for which a man has
been hung. He stated that he il Wss
who murdered Dr. Pyle aud Mrs Kerr
and nearly killed Mrs. Pyle and the boy,
Louis Kerr, near Caney, in this dis
trict, 4 few years ago. AL the par
iiculars, just as the circumstances
shO~ed, were detailed. He said he
beat them 10 death with a heavy stick
Of stove wood and that be was hired
70 do SO because Of an estate in which
they were interested
The crime will be remembered
clearly by many Of our readers, for IL
occurred but few years agO-in 1886
We believe. John Stevens. mulatto,
was arrested at once, tried at Fort
Smith and banged. with very little de-
lay. Many circumstances connected
Stevens with the crime, including the
finding Of 4 saddle blanket and other
property which belonged TO him, IN the
vicinity Of the house where his victims
we're living. The confession was ia
I ken down ~ writing by parties pres
ent and Was generally accredited Dy

A Violent Reaction Against the Koch
Lymph Treatment Eight Pa
tients Die Under 1t.

BR1sTol, Pa, Dec. ia shocking ac-
cident occurred at the Mill street railroad
crossing this afternoon by which four
persons were killed, one fatally injured,
and one seriously hurt The accident
was caused by the safety gates at the
crossing being raised just before the New
York west-bound expressed was due. A
number of persons had been waiting for
freight train to pass, and as soon as the
gates we're raised, started to cross. John
Mcllvain, teamster, started across with
his wagon, in which were his 13-year-old
son, Neil McIlvain, Joseph Hussey, also Of
some age, and Hugh Dever, a storekeeper
on Pine street, and John McGee, abont 10
years old. The express train, which was
running at full speed, struck the wagon,
instantly killing Neil McIlvain, Joseph
Hussy and Hugh Dever. John McIlvain
had his shoulder and leg broken, ribs
crushed and was otherwise internally in
jured. He is not expected to live. Two
boys were struck with such force that
they we're thrown into the canal. Joseph
johnson, who was crossing the track on
foot, was also struck by the engine and
instantly killed. John McGee, who was
also in the wagon, was badly injured.
The gate-keeper claims the c!atter of a
freight train passing drowned the noise
of the bells so they could not be heard.
He will probably. be arrested.

NEWS FROM PARIS.
France Wants an International Monetary
COnference--Reaction Against the
Koch Treatment

France Wants an International Monetary
Conference--Reaction Against the
Koch Treatment.
PARIS, Dec.13.-Communica which
M. Ribat, Minister of Foreign Affairs, has
been exchanging with the United States
andEuropean governments, point to the ar
rangement of an International Monetary
conference. The English government,
however, appears likely to offer objec-
tions to such conference, based on, the
utility of previous conferences. If no
meeting of the powers is agreed upon,
powerful financial influence will be
brought to bear upon the government to
invite delegates from the Lation monetary
union and from the United States and
Mexico, and other silver countries, to
meet in Paris and discuss the silver ques-
tion with view to international regula-
ton of silver values.
The tariff bill as now shaped un-
der the hands Of the committee
of the Chamber of Deputies, outbids the
Mckinley bill in protectionism. The
amendments made this week by the COM
mittee to raise duties proposed by the
government on barley, malt, farming ma
chlnery, sewing machines, pins, needles,
pens and other steel and iron goods.
The reaction against the Koch treat
ment has increased IN violence. Eighty
patients have died soon after the injec-
ton of the lymph and this, combined
with the fact that there has been NO veri-
fed cure, intensified the public feeling
against the experiments. A number of
hospital patients here and In Lyons who
were undergoing the Koch treatment, have
refused to submit to further trials. Owing
to the public furore, the commission,
headed by Prof. Nallopean, which is test
ing the remedy, decided to maintain ab-
solute silence as to the results until the
tests have been com pleted.

THE LABOR CONVENTION.
They are Going to Fight fur the Eight
Hour Movement

They are Going to Fight fur the Eight
Hour Movement,
DETROIT, Dec. 13.-In the American
Federation of Labor convention today
Chairman Foster of the special commit
tee on eight hours day reported they
reatfirmed the idea of eight hours day,
that the campaign adopted in 1890 lie
followed and that the federation assess
unions two cents per week per capita for
five weeks to procure funds. They left
the choice of unions to the executive
committee, but recommended the coal
miners as the proper people to follow the
carpenters. After some further debate
the committee retired for conference and
shortly after reported in favor of the
selection of the coal miners to lead the
eight hour fight. A unanimous vote
adopted the report.
A delegate took occasion to remark
that the miners fight would be like that
of the carpenters; iron and steel workers
would be affected and so also the en-
gineers; something might be done by
those trades, not in the way of money,
but in other ways.
Delegate Prosser said the iron and
steel workers were ready to go out with
the miners.
On the adoption of the amended con-
stitution the convention proceeded to fix
salaries. After the convention got in and
out OF the parliamentary snarl they fixed
salaries at the present figures. The con-
vention then went into executive session
on the question of boycotts.

Is He Eligible ?

ZANEsvILLE, Ohio, Dec. IA Curious
complication has risen in the case Of
Governor-elect James E. Boyd of Ne
braska. He was born in Ireland in 1884
and came to this country with his father
Joseph Boyd, in 1S49. The father filed a
notice of his intention to become citizen,
but he did not take out his final papers
until November, 1890. The son did not
take out papers and tits stated that he
has never been naturallzed in Nebraska.
Section 2172 of the revised statutes of the
United States provides. that where the
father Is naturalized his sons under
twentyone years of age are naturalized. In
this case the father filed his declaration
in 1840, but did not take out his final
papers until 1890, which was long after
his son was Of age.
