crease the tax on spirits failed to pass
the United States senate.
THE comptroller of the currency has de-
clared a third dividend, 10 per cent, in
favor of the creditors of the Commercial

THE weather crop bulletin says the
weather during the past week in the up
per Mississippi, the lower Missouri and
Ohio valleys was generally favorable to the
growing crops, especially throughout the
principal corn producing states. Con-
siderable damage is reported in North

The president has received,a cable mes
sage from the widow and children of the late
Gen. Barrundia protesting against his
assassination by the Guatemala authorities
while passenger on an American steam
ship, and calling upon him to exact rep
aration. That the president is taking
personal interest in the case is indicated
by the fact that at today's meeting of the
cabinet he sent for a telegram and read it
aloud to the cabinet. He stated that the
matter was now being investigated by the
state department and he expected soon to
be in possession of all the facts in the
case

FOUND IN A COAL NINE.
The Money of the Nj Murdered Crouch Fam
lily Discovered.

BENTLEYsv1LLE, Pa, Sept. 5.-The
money stolen at the time Of the murder
of the Crouch family was found yester
day. secreted in an old coal mine not
far from the scene Of the triple tragedy
last May. The clue was obtained from
the 9-year-old son of Annie Crunda e,
who, with the negroe West, are IL Jail on
suspicion of having committed the
robbery and murder. Recently neigh
bors overheard Homer Harvey, the re-
puted father of the boy, threaten to cut
his tongue out if he didn't keep quiet.
This aroused suspicion, and the boy was
induced to give up the secret, which was
in effect that he had heard West tell his
mother that the money was hidden in the
coal mine. The amount supposed to have
been in the possession of the Crouches at
the time of the murder Was $4,000. The
Washington county officials have taken
charge of the money.

The American Nomad.

A curious outgrowth of the ri.alries of
American cities, IS the practice that
obtains so generally of Offering bonuses
and pecuniary inducements to manufact-
urers to move their plant. After a fire
that burned down part of sewing-ma-
chine factory the other day, the owners re-
ceived so many proposals frem aspiring
cities that want to take them in. that they
were obliged to publish notice to the eff
feet that only a small part of their works
had been burned, and that they were not
open to proposals for adoption. Any
factory or established business employing
labor can have its choice, nowadays, from
long list Of cities, new and old, any of
which will give it site for factory, pay
the expenses OF moving, and perhaps con-
tribute substantially toward the construc-
ton of new building. People who own
land. or are engaged in business in cities.
realize that it pays them to have their
cities grow. and are willing to hire desir-
able inhabitants to come to them. They
rely upon getting their money back in the
increased value of land, or the general in
crease in business. The result is that the
migratory disposition already so pronounc-
ed in those days is intensified, and it has
become familiar thing not merely for
individuals to move, but for great aggrega-
ton of workingmen to shift the scene of
their activities from one city to another,
sometimes thousands of miles away.
Time was when where the average man
found himself living. there he continued
to live, unless circumstances of exceptional
urgency impeled him to change his resi-
dence. 1t is different now. Transporter
ton has become so cheap, and travel so
easy, that the ties of locality sit very light
ly on Americans, and the fact that you
find him settled this year in New York or
Pennsylvania, affords you avery uncertain
basis for expecting to find h1m next year
in the same place. When you hear of

COMBINE AGAINST STRIKES.
A Number of the Wealthiest Corporation

Form an Alliance.
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 5.-A number of the
richest corporations in the country have
formed an alliance against strikes.
Among the members are the Westing-
house system, Yale Lock Co., Colt Arms
Co., and four or five other big factories and
presumably the Pullman interests. In. the
compact it is agreed that in case a strike
occurs to enforce unreasonable demands,
whether the strike be against one or all of
the associated factories. all work is to cease,
the strikers are to be allowed to remain
idle until they see Fit TO return to work and
no factory is to employ any worker who
may have left another factory On the strike.
Neither is an associated factory to seek
workers during the strike from any of the
federated works The institutions named
employ between 10000 and 10000 work
ers, and directly support some 100000 or
100000 people, exclusive of other interests
depending upon the earnings of these peo-
pie. 1t is claimed by these manufacturers
that the action of their workers forced an

Gen. Barrundia's Daugeter Emptles a Re
volver at Him.
GUATEMALA, Sept. 2.-The daughter of
Barrundla, who was shot to death last
week, attempted to shoot United States
Minister Miner, yesterday. She came upon
the American minister in his
Office, and pulling out a revolver,
accused him of having been
the direct cause of her fathers death
Minister Miner took the matter coolly
and tried to reason with the girl, who
was almost beside herself with excite
mt. At last she pulled the trigger
but the bullet struck a heavy law book
which the minister had picked up. The
report of the pistol attracted attention,
and before she could fire another shot
she was disarmed. The GOODNESS of the
minister undoubtedly saved his life. Mr..
Miner will not prosecute the lady and
insists that no further notice shall be taker
of the affair
Mr. Miner was at his desk translating
the guarantee given to him by this gov
eminent that Barrundias life would be
spared in case he was surrendered, when
the young woman came into the office. AS
the minister looked up from his work she
was standing within four feet of him with
a revolver. She is under arrest.

Daughin streets, fell at II 80 clock this

A French doctor has been giving some
advice to persons who are unable to give
up the pernicious habit of taking book to
bed with them and reading themselves to
sleep. In the first place, he says, they
should every evening battle their eyes with
salt water-not salt enough to be painful,
however The reading should not be done
in reclining position, but sitting up, as
reading On ones back is hurtful to the
sight almost as much DIS feeble light,
which should be carefully avoided.

One of Our German-American Citi-
zens is n Loyal American.
Said a German American citizen
yesterday: 81 see in the papers that
certain candidates are making bid
for the so-called German vote, basing
their claims on the fact that they are
Germans. Now L am German, or
was, before L became naturaliZe1
American citizen. There is no Ger
man vote in this country, or should
not be. If any candidate running is
a German he is disqualified by that
fact, but if he is naturaliZed
American citizen, why he is an
American and not a German, and is
no more entitled. or not as much, to
German consideration than if he were
still German. Moreover, Germans
are not allowed to vote in this coun-
try unless they are naturaliZed and
then don't they become Americans?
There are no German voters in this
country, don't you see?"
The German is right according to
the truth Of the matter, but somehow,
we don't know how, the Germans
generally take care of their own
race, naturaliZed or unnaturalized.
