Preparations for a Boycott on Two St
 Louis Brewing Firms.


 Louis Brewing Firms.
 PITTsBURG, Sep. 5.-The official mai of the Knights of Labor has been tre- mendously increased as a result of the following circular sent to every section of the country over the signature of John W. Hayes, the General Secretary Treas urer:
 "The district assemblies in cities and towns, where such exist, and local assem- plies where no districts are organized, are requested to make lists of saloon keepers and others who sell beer manu- factured by the J. Anheuser-Busch Brew ing Association of St. Louis, and the w. J. Lemp Brewing Company of the same place also of dealers who display the ad- vertisements of these firms, and forward these lists to this office.''
 It is understood that this order is pre- paratory to an official boycott on the firms in question.
 An emphatic denial is given at the headquarters of the Knights to the state ment that the recent visit of A. W. Wright to the South was with view of smoothing over trouble of the order ere ated in that region by the color line. Sec retary Hayes says: 'There is no color line in the Knights of Labor"

A REVOLVING SCENE
Wife e-Murderer Bulling Failed to Cheat the Hangman.
HE SHOT HIMSELF IN HIS CELL
A Clergyman Under Arrest for Furnishing
 the Revolver.

The Murderer Was Dragged to the Gal
 lows While Bleeding from His Wounds
 He Cursed the Sheriff While the Black
 Cap Was Being Adjusted--swung Into Eternity With an Oath on His Lips.
 ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Sep. 5.-An old sher- # who was present at the execution of Louis Bulling, the wife murderer, said to-day in conversation with a press rep resentative that he had witnessed but the tragedy of yesterday was the most revolting he had ever seen.
 Sheriff Barry had set the hour for the execution at 10 o'clock. When he went to the cell at o'clock to prepare the doomed man for the execution, Bulling pleaded so piteously for stay of a few hours that the sheriff gave him until 2 o'clock. When 9 o'clock came Bulling renewed his supplication, and falling on his knees pleaded for one hour more. His request was again granted, the guard removed from the cell door and he was again left with his spiritual adviser.
 The silence of the jail was broken only by the voice of the priest, when sudden ly two shots rang out. The sheriff ran to the cell and found BullinR prostrate upon the floor, weltering in his own blood, which flowed from a wound in his breast. He had shot himself twice.
 A nasty examination of Bulling's body showed that one of the bullets had en- tered the left breast and, glancing from a rib had passed around his body and come out of his back. The other bullet had only inflicted slight flesh wound in his left side. He had not lost consciousness, and when the sheriff ordered four depu- ties to carry him to the scafPold, he cursed and swore at them in a horrible manner.
 The deputies dragged the struggling man to the yard, and lifted him upon the gallows. He refused to stand, and they placed him upon a chair. As he sat there he presented revolting spectacle. His hands and face were covered with blood was streaming through his shoes, that had run from the wounds in his breast. He cursed and swore at the deputies, cried and screamed for mercy, and shrieked.
 The sheriff gave him @ large glass of brandy, and he swallowed it at one gulp. Finally he was told to stand up. He re- fused, and four deputies held him up while the rope was being adjusted. The black cap was placed over his head, and, yelling, screaming and blaspheming, he shot through the opening The Rev. Lsvak, who is believed to have supplied the revolver, has been placed under arrest. No one else 1t is thought could have given him the weapon.

 NEW YORK Sep. 5.-The wife of Otto Unckerstein, the proprietor of the Hotel Hamilton, disappeared in June last, and he has spent about $200 in advertising for her and begging her to return, and he now offers reward for any informa- tion concerning her He says that she was well connected in Europe, and he sup posed she had gone there after she left him.
 They had disagreement in regard to a boy and girl they had in their employ. He discharged the boy and then asked his wife to discharge the girl. The girl, however, told Mrs. Unckerstein that her husband had been making love to her, and wheu she learned this she left the house. Yesterday he received 8 letter from her without any date and post marked Brooklyn, in which she said he would no doubt be surprised to receive a few lines from her, especially after being shamsd as he had shamed her, but she should write to him occasionally. She said there was no use in alluding to any thing which had occurred at the Hamil- ton House.
 Suffice it to say that I was told all about your conduct" Since she had left she had taken a position for miserable pay, and she had to work, as she did not have sufficient money to support herself, and she had never asked for or received help from anyone else. She desired him to write to her father, and said that the next letter he received would be through him, concluding the letter with, "God bless and forgive you." She signs her self your unfortunate wife, Catherine. Uuokerstein has applied to the police for assistance in finding his wife.

Weal getting so accustomed to remarkable things that it is pretty hard to astonish us nowadays. Two years ago we added ready made clothing to our well established tailoring and fur nishing goods business. We decided we would keep only the rightly made kind, goods that we knew were reliable. To compete with inferior qualities we marked our goods at very close mar gins of profit. The growth of our business has been remarkable. The public appreciated our efforts and this fall we open the largest and best light ed Clothing store in Connecticut. In the meantime we are reducing our stock and giving many grand bargains. Come and get them.

 WASHINGTON, Sep 5.-Secretary Rusk in letter to the Hon. W. A. Hatch of Missouri, informing him of the removal of the prohibition of American pork by Germany, says the thanks of the farmers of this country are due to MT.
