KiIled win a nIlliara cue.

FRANKFORT, Ind, May 5.--At Null
berry, this county, ten miles west of
this city, Erwin Kern, bartender in
John Maher's saloon, killed Harvey
Krather by striking him with billiard
cue. Krather, who had been drinking
freely, became offended at the bartender
because he refused him another drink
After calling him several hard names he
dared him from behind the bar. Seiz-
ing the cue Kern struck the fatal blow
Those who were present at the time
were not clear as to whether or not it
was case of self-defense. Both men
recently came from Lehigh county, Pa,
and were well connected. Kern is in
iail.

A DAYS WORK.
1t VIII BE Eight Hours for the
Carpenters,
But the Price Per Day Not Yet
Decided.

The Chicago Arbitration Committee Fail
to Agree on Two Subjects, Wages and
Apprentices-A Compromise Effected
With Strikers at Several Places on Nine
Hours, with Ten Hours Pay-Other
Labor News.
CHICAGO May 5. - The carpenters
strike is still ON, and the situation re-
mains exactly the same as when the
arbitration committees were appointed.
AT meeting the bosses conceded eight
hours, but when it came to granting
forty cents an hour there was a hitch,
as there was also on the apprentice
question. While discussing the latter
question, the subject of the ability of
the new Bosses association to employ
enough men to justify the carpenters in
completing the negotiations, was
brought up.
The carpenters insisted that the bosses
furnish guarantee to employ 5000
men within thirty days. To this the
bosses objected. The umpires decided
in favor of the strikers, limiting the
number, it is understood, to 1900 men.
The carpenters protested and finally de-
manded a statement from the bosses,
showing exactly what each could do.
They were not prepared for this and
finally, after heated discussion, the
conference adjourned.
The bosses held meeting, and, it is
understood, completed arrangements for
the next conference.
Five hundred men employed by the
Fairbank Canning company have an
nounced their determination to strike
for eight hours. The coopers employed
there have already quit.
The report that the union bakers are
about to go on strike is declared to be
untrue as also is the report that there is
great dissatisfaction among the lumber
showers
The Garden City springs works com
promised with their men by granting
them an eight-hour day with nine hours
pay, and the Morgan Sash, Door and
Blind company settled with their en-
ployes on a similar basis. The strike at
Maxwell Brothers box factory was set
tied by the employers agreeing to con-
slider the grievances of their employees at
an early date. They are now working
eight hours.
The strike of the sash, door and blind
workers in the lumber district has been
settled temporarily in more than half
the factories, the employers granting the
eight-hour day for few days, until q
final answer to the demand is given.
The employers say the concession will
not be extended beyond few days un-
less the eight-hour day is made univer-

A LOSS TO THE CLERGY.
Death of Bishop Borgess. at Kalamazoo
Michigan.

Oeatfl OF blshOp borgess. AT hhi&hhEOO,
Michigan.
KALAMAZOO, Mich, May 5.-Bishop
Casper Borgess., stricken with paralysis
at st. Augustine deanery last Sunday
night, died at 10 o'clock Saturday morn
ing, aged SO.
The Right Rev. c, H. Borgess. was
born in Addruch, Germany, Aug J.,
1926. At the age of Is he emigrated to
this country with his parents and To-
Gated at Cincinnati, remaining there for
one year, after which he left for Phila-
delphia to begin his studies for the
priesthood with his uncle, Rev. Otto
Borgess., then pastor of Holy Trinity
church. After several years of diligent
study he returned to Cincinnati TO finish
his education at the Jesuit college On
Dec. 10, 1913, he was ordained priest,
after which he taught at Mount st.
Marys college for one year.
His first pastoral charge was at Holy
Cross church, of Columbus, O., where
he remained for ten years, whence
he was transferred to the cathedral at
Cincinnati, where he remained for twelve
years as priest and acting besides as sec
retary to his grace, Archbishop Purcell.
On April "a, 1870, he was solemnly
consecrated bishop of Detroit, in the
cathedral at Cincinnati, by Bishops
Toebbe, of Covington; Rosecrans, of Col
umbus, and Luers of Fort Wayne, as
sisted by the resident clergy, in the pres
sence Of an immense congregation, en-
bracing the prominent Catholic laity and
many Protestant spectators, attracted
by the imposing character of the cere-
mony.
He has now been bishop of Detroit for
seventeen years, and in that time has
not only freed the diocese from debt, but
has made for it the reputation of being
the wealthiest in the United States
Endowed with high mental qualities,
Bishop Borgess. has made steady progress
from the beginning of his sacred profess
sion, and through rare attractiveness
of person and manners became very pop
ular with the Catholic community wher-
ever he has labored. He was specially
endeared to the young, with whom he
felt cordial sympathy, and seemed en-
dowed to win and instruct
The only survivor of his family at
present is his sister-Sister Dionesia, un-
der-supelior of Brown county convent,
Ohio
Rev. Borgess. recently resigned as
bishop Of Detroit.

STUBBORN FARMERS.
They Refuse to Make Returns to the Asses
sOrs, and win BE Prosecuted.

SOrs, ana VIII be Prosecuted,
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 5.-Members
of the Farmers Alliance in some sec
tions of the state are giving the assessors
a good deal of trouble by refusing to
answer statistical questions submitted
by the bureau of statistics. In Grant
county the farmers have refused to give
any information on subjects of crops,
live stock and the like, and the refusal
is SO general that the assessors are not
collecting any information at all.
The action Of the farmers is taken in
accordance with resolution adopted by
the Alliance, the matter being discussed
in one of the meetings and concert of ac-
tion agreed upon. They say that the
purpose of gathering the statistics is to
enable spectators to make prices on
grain and stock, and thus injure the
farmer. Statistician Peele has instructed
the auditor of Grant county to have the
assessors take the names of farmers re-
fusing the information, in order that
they may be presented to the grand
jury. The maximum fine is 81 900, and
all refusing the information will be
prosecuted

ping over the bank of Goat island to the
rocks below. 1t is understood that the
tape is to be used as fire-escape.
