Three Men Terribly Slashed by a Chica
go Rough.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May ia stabbing af-
fray, in which Charles Eberhard was
probably fatally wounded, and John
Carr and William Davis were seriously
cut, occurred here early this morning.
Pete Dewitt. a notorious tough, did the
cutting. Eberhard, his wife, Miss Carr
and the other gentlemen were going
home from dance. AS they walked
along they were singing. Dewitt
was on the opposite side of
the street, and made some insult
ing remark about the singers.
They resented, and hot words across
the street followed. Dewitt finally dared
them to come to the middle of the
street. The three men left their ladies
and accepted the challenge. Dewitt at
once drew a long knife and began slash
ing right and left. He first thrust the
blade into Eberhard's breast and then
laid open his groin for six inches. He
then stabbed Carr in the side, and Davis
in the neck Dewitt was arrested

TRAFFIC IN YOUNG WOMEN.

Baron Rothschiia interested in . Move
ment TO Suppress the Evil.
It is only few weeks since the Prns-
sian police arrested several men while
crossing the frontier in Upper Siberia,
accompanied by twenty handsome Rus
sian girls. Investigation developed the
fact that while the girls supposed that
they had been engaged as seamstresses
for tailors in Berlin, they were, in real
ity, en- route to Buenos Ayres, there to
be distributed among the brothels of
South A merica. The men are now await
ing trial, and will receive long terms
of imprisonment. On the heels Of this
expose come developments which indi-
cate that similar infamous traffic is be-
ing carried on between this country and
Poland, and that scores of young Polish
Jewish girls are brought to London
every few months, and compelled to
lead life of shame. Three Poles, al
legged to be connected with the lnfamy,
are already under arrest, and an infu
entail committee, with Baron Roth
schild at its head, has been organized to
suppress the evil. Hundreds of men
must be engaged in the traffic, for it has
been shown that, in case after case, be-
trothal contracts, in accordance with
the religious customs of the country,
were entered into before the victims
could be induced to leave home.

A Wilkesbarre, Pa, dispatch of the

disasters that have visited this valley
within the past year reached climax,
this morning, in the entombing of TWEEN
ty-seven men in the Hartford mine of
the Lehigh q Wilkesbarre Coal Com
pany, at Ashley, three miles from this
city. At O'clock this morning the COM
munity WAS thrown into state of excite
ment when the news spread that an ex-
tenslve cavern had occurred in No.
coli1ery covering an area of more than
ten acres. Thousands rushed to the
scene and found that the surface, al
most as far as the eye could reach, was
scanned and cracked with long circular
assures, some of which were over two
feet wide. The feeling was intensified
when it became known that many of
their friends who had gone down the
fatal pit in the morning were
directly beneath the portion that
had caved in. p and in all proba-
Dillty were entombed forever behind an
lmrenetrable mass of coal and rock.
That portion OF the mine in which the
men were is No. slope, and the cave

shut OFF all means of reaching the sur.
face. Resculng parties were at
once organized, and an opening
broken through into manway along
the head of q mountain stream where
the chamb ers in that part of the mine
came within few feet Of the surface.
All day long these men to1led like
Titans at the hard and stubborn roel.,
while the weeping wives and little ones
of the doomed victims stood around the
opening and rent the air with their
cries and lamentations
Gang alter gang relieved one another
until at O'Clock the news was passed
that they had succeeded in breaking
through the chambers beneath tie cave.
The men worked on until $40. when
there was comm otion at the mouth of
the dark opening and the foreman
crawled out on his hands and knees
and announced that they had found
one of the victims. He was living
at the bottom OF fifty-foot
plane, and In order to rescue him
1T became necessary to lower miner
down with rope. This was done. and
the charred and blackened form of
Anthony Froyne, the first CT the vic

was still alive, but his injuries are con-
sidered fatal. Three others were alter
ward taken out, but there is little hope

Robinson, who has been employed by
a syndicate of Holyoke unlicensed
liquor dealers to look up the constitu-
tionality of the Original package law,
has handed his opinion to his Holyoke
clients. He holds that the sell
ing of liquor in original packages
is legal. He says the local
authorities may seize the 'stufi,' the
lower court convict, and an appeal be
made to superior court which viii
probably sustain the lower court;
but when taken to the supreme court
there is no questioning that such deci-
sions will be overruled. Acting on this
advice, some ten Holyoke dealers will
