THE BRUMFIELD BUTCHERY.
Eight Of the italian Murderers Killed by a
Sheriffs Posse.

CATLETTsBURG, KY, August "a rumor is
current upon the streets this morning that
sheritf's posse in attempting to capture the
body of Italians who murdered the Brumfield
family Friday night were forced to fire on the
assassins with terribly fatal effect eight dagoes
being instantly killed.
ENGLISH COMMENTS OF THE LONDON .'GLoBE'' on
THE INTERNATIONAL PHASE OF THE NATTER
LONDON, August 3.-The Globe this afternoon
publishes dispatches detailing the murder of
Mr.. and Mrs. Brumfeld and their five children
in Wayne county, W. Va, on Friday last by
crowd of drunken italian la5orers EMPLOYED
on the Norfolk and Western railroad and in
an editorial commenting on the crimes saws:
This horrible outrage will assuredly have
its full effects upon the future relations between
the Americans and undesirable Immigrants
The swarms of Italians who cross the Atlantic
are by far the most Objectionable of all the
emigrants who go to America. They appear to
have lost their only visible merit-that of So
briefly.
''Self-defense in some states where the state
pr election is exceedingly elementary becomes
not only right but a duty. The murderers
in this case will undoubtedly receive their
deserts from the people of West Virginia. and
1t will then be seen if Italy will demand fed
eral inquiry with a view to procuring
compensation. If Italy should do so
the answer that will be made to her demand
will perhaps be shorter and sharper than the
one previously made by the United States gov
ernment in reply to Italy's demand for COM
pensation for the families of the Italians ynched
at New Orleans. That country which cannot
deal efficiently with its own murderers must not
object to any sort OF law that does the work for
it,

A sroCK-JoBBING SCHEME
An Attack on the Guards at Barcelona "a
Lower Prices of Securities.

Lower Prices of Securities.
BARCELONA. August S.-Great excitement was
caused in this city by what was for time be-
ieved to be q revolutionary movement on the
part Of the republican party. but which subse-
quently proved to be a desperate attempt upon
the part Of certain spectators on the bourse to
bring about decline in the prices of the Sc
curities dealt in upon the exchange. For fool
hardy daring the scheme has never been equaled
oy desperate spectators in this or
any other country. The troops who garrisoned
this city were in their barracks and the usual
guards were patroling their posts when band
OF hfteen men. some of whom were armed with
rifles, while others carried revolvers in their
hands. cautiously approached the buildings and
attempted to effect a surprise Of the guards. il
being their intention to force their way into
the barracks.
The sentries were vigilsnt. however. and soon
discovered the approach of the men The
guards ordered the band to halt and e:ve the
countersign. To do the latter was of course, an
impossibility. and the men made a rush upon the
sentries. trusting that in the confusion which
would follow they would be able to force their
way into the barracks. As they ran toward the
sentries they delivered a volley from their
weapons and some of the guards fell 10
the ground, having been struck by the
bullets of the aggressors. The other sentries,
however. stood their ground and answered the
voliey from the attackers with fusilade from
their rifles. For short time a regular battle
was fought and number on both sides were
wounded. In the meantime the officers sta
toned at the barracks summoned the troops
to arms and in a very short time the attacking
party found themselves surrounded Resist
ance was useless. and the whole party was
placed under arrest. They will be tried by
court-martial and the chances are that they
will all be shot.

Not Competed for and Maj. De Batz Gets 1t
According to Promise.

Not Competed FOR and MAJ DE Batz Gets 1t
According to Promise.
The clerks in the Post Office Department are
discussing today the promotion of Maj. De
Batz; that is, what they regard as his promo
ton. For he has been, or will be as soon as
he passes a non-competitive examination. ap-
pointed as 81 400 clerk in the first assistants g
office. The reason that the clerks take so
much interest in the matter is because
they supposed that under the new regu-
lations made by Mr.. Wanamaker all
promotions in the department were to be
based upon examinations During the past
week the examining board has been at work
examining clerks for promotion. But Maj. De
DatZ II was known was not among the number.
There was. therefore, considerable surprise
manifested when it was learned that a promo
tion is to be made outside of the examining
board
1t is learned that Maj. De Batz was reduced
several years ago from 81 600 to 81 200, for no
was wanted. His friends have been trying to
get him restored, and finally Mr.. Wana-
maker promised to promote him on
the first opportunity. This was pre-
sented in the appropriation bill which
went into effect on the LIST of July pro-
viding for an additional clerk at Il 400 in the
first assistants office. This plan was laid away
carefully on the shelf and labeled with the
name of De Batz, but no appointment was
made. When the board of promotion was ap-
pointed this 81 400 place was reserved for
their jurisdiction and no examination was held
to fill it. But now it has come around that
1t is time for the man and the place to be joined
together. and SO Mr.. Wanamaker has decided
to remain true to his promise and give it to
Maj. DE Batz. He, however, yields enough to
the civil service spirit now abroad In the de-
partment to require that the major shall be
first examined. This will be done.

WHEN RASCALS FALL OUT.
The Mystery of the Murder of an Old CALI
fOrnian Solved.

MARYsvILLE, CAL, August 3.-The mystery
of the death of Geo. Ball, an old resident OF
this city. who Was foully murdered and an at
tempt made to burn his remains, has been
solved. Vim. Ousley, a colored waiter of this
city. and another colored man of the
name of George Maddox were arrested on
Saturday night on suspicion. and yesterday
morning Ousley. who Is dying of consumption.
made full confession of guilt to Under Sheriff
Bevan. He says that George Maddox and
George Collins. third negro. who was killed
recently in Stockton. went into Balls building
on the night of the murder and hid there until
Ball came out Ousley remained on the outside
to give an alarm in case the police appeared.
When Ball came in Maddox and Collins jumped
on him, and he showed fight to such an extent
that they hit him on the head. He moaned SO
that they hit HIM again and finally jabbed him
IN the throat with a fork. After robbing the
body the men covered it with straw while the
man was still alive and set fire to it. The two
went to the Dawson House and all three left
town that night. Ousley says the intention
vas to rob Ball, but not TO murder him.
Maddox says Ousley's story is all lie.

HEBREW IMMIGRATION.
Secretary Foster Writes q Letter to Messrs.
Wolf and Abraham.

Wolf and Abraham.
Secretary Foster has addressed a letter to
Simon Wolf and Lewis Abraham of this city,
who recently wrote him in behalf of the Union
of American Hebrew Congregations relative to
the influx of Hebrew immigration from Rus
sia, which they said they hoped the Treasury
Department would not prevent at this time,
The Secretary's reply is a general review of the
situation. He says:
Be assured. gentlemen, that 1 fully concur in
your estimate of the magnitude of the present
calamity which has befallen SO many of your
race, as well as in your hope that an early miti-
CATION or cessation Of the current measures of
expulsion may render unnecessary any general
migration of Russian Hebrews to America or
elsewhere. Unquestionably great and sudden
influx of expatriated and destitute aliens of
any race would be grave misfortune to any
country. and American Hebrews act both
patriotcally and humanely when they advise
Jewish refugees against coming hither, but at
the same time endeavor to render self-suppOrt-
ing those who finally come. Obviously the
support of great numbers of dependent per-
sons is a tax upon the resources of the country,
even though paid from private funds, and.
quite plainly, industrial conditions here
might be seriously disturbed by the sudden ar
| rival and the enforced competition OF multi
tude of needy people.
Hence it is important to the last degree that
the volume of this expected refugee immigra-
ton be not excessive or threatening. and that
with entire certainty it be promptly and widely
distributed so as to supply real want in scat
tered communities and interfere little as pos
! sible with existing and normal industrial con-
ditions. The apparent scope and thoroughness
of your plans for securing this immediate and
wide distribution of the expected refugees are
most gratifying, and upon the success of your
associations in carrying out these plans will
largely depend the possibility of the govern
ment meeting your views in other respects
While the immigration laws of the United
States must and will be enforced agree with
you that those laws were never enacted in dero-
CATION Of the plainest requirements of human
ity, and no worthy immigrant, who in all other
respects meets the demands of our statutes,
should be excluded from the country because,
through the action Of others, ne is for the time
being homeless and without property.
| shall rely upon your voluntary assurance
| that you will actively urge upon your brethren
| In Europe the attitude of our laws toward as
sisted immigration. l also beg to remind you
that any tendency abroad to defect toward this
country the movement of destitute refugees
| OF to stimulate their migration hither would
be distinctly hostile to the spirit manifested in
your letter and to the spirit in which the gov
ernment of the United States desires to treat
this difficult and delicate problem.
