The Strikers Bring About Two Results
Not Counted On.
PIrTsBURG, Pa, July 2.-The carpenters
who will go to work after July 4, at their
employers terms, have done two things
they did not count on during their nine
weeks strike. They have forced a score Of
smaller contractors to the wall, who have
fallen into the power Of the master build
ers, who advanced them money,
thus making the builders association
more of a monopoly than ever.
Another unexpected effect of the
failure Of the widely advertised eight-hour
movement is the black eye received by the
federation OF labor. That order will lose
several thousand members from this dis
trict owing to its non-fulfllment Of its
promise to provide aid for the strikers.
This is also true Of the great coke strike,
aud both fell through from the same cause,
poverty. Disorder and wranging exist in
the building trades and complete re-organi-
zation will likely occur.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., July 2.-The hanging
of Brabham, the negro who murdered the
Italian. Mocoa, took place at 10:44 o'clock
this forenoon. A day or two ago he ex-
pressed a desire that his execution take
place about IL o'clock, in order that he
might take dinner "in hell, " yet he changed
his irreverent mood this morning and had a

Caldwell in his farewells. He ate nothing

stimulants which were offered him. He

break his neck. Death ensued In eleven
minutes.
MUCH INTEREST IN THE HANGING.
The hanging caused much interest here
through the brutality Of the crime, the
threats of lynching which followed and
the conflict between whites and blacks in
the neighborhood Of the jail where he was
imprisoned. The fact that he also
very recently made a desperate attack
upon Sheriff Smith with his shackles, which,
bat for the intrepidity of that officer and
the Interference Of Caldwell, a prisoner IN
the Jail for gambling, would have proved
successful, added to public interest in the
affair. There was no race feeling, however

Debts TO the jews.
PARIS, July 2-Prince Dolgeoroukof. re-
Gently governor of Moscow, died in this
city yesterday evening. Prince Dolgeorou-
kof was until recently the czar's intimate
and confidential friend and represented the
czar with pomp and pageantry giving brill
liant balls and dinners, which, as it was
sald' wolld have required the
purse of fortunes to keep up

were better treated than in any other of the

Dolegeoroukoh turned for financial aid, and
the Jews, in return for the kind treatment
they received, poured many roubles into

OVERLOADED WITH DEBT.
To these free gifts from the Jews loans
succeeded in due course of time, and it
transpired in February last that the
vice regal court of Moscow,
presided over by Prince Dolgeoroukoff, was
overwhelmed with debts to the wealthy
Jews Of Moscow and elsewhere. Affairs
seemed to reach q climax when owing pos
slbly.to his lenisnoy, due 10 the fact that he
owed the Jews % much money, that Prince
Dolgeoroukoff, instead Of exercising the So

construct bath near the Cathedral of
Moscow. The czar's indignation at this
action upon the part of his confidential
friend the governor of Moscow,
is said to have been houndless,
and the princes enemies are said not 20
have been slow in taking advantage OF the
czar's change of feeling toward the prince.
Some time later explanations were de-
manded of Prince DolgeoroukofR. These
explanations do not seem TO have satisfied
the oxer, for shortly afterward the prince
was relieved of his duties "a governor of
Moscow, and the Grand Duke Sergius, a
brother OF the czar, was appointed governor
Of Moscow in place Of the disgraced prince.
