WESTON, w. Va, July SO.-Jane Lew,
a small town seven miles from here, on
the West Virginia & Pittsburgh railroad,
was the scene this afternoon OF muir
der. 1t is case OF fratracide, the par
ticulars OF which are meagre.
Itseems that n young man named
Ashby Drummonds, aged about %, had
an old grudge against a bartender named
strossers, clerking for Howard Nicely.
Drnmmonds and strossers got into
some difficulty; L. P. Brake interfered
and Drummonds cut him in the chest
with a knife. About this time Wheeler
Drummonds, 4 14-year-old brother OF
Ashby's came up and in trying to make
peace was stabbed through the lung
and heart By his brother Ashby.
Ashby wns brought hero tonight and
lodged In Jail. He will be given hear.
ing tomorrow. He broke down and
cried bitterly when he found what he
had done.
Tonight in his cell he tried in vain to
whistle and sing, but those who were
near him knew that it was forced. He
made an attempt to escape while in the
sQuire's office here tonight, but was
prevented by the sheriff.
A telephone message received here
tonight states that Wheeler died in
great agony. i,

Tho Managers of the steelton Mills Will
Take Back None of the Strike Leaders.
HARRIsBURo, Pa, July 3O.-The de-
preston caused by the collapse of the
strike at steelton is very evident in the
silent groups of men who are seen on
the street corners. The men feel that
they were duped by the leaders and say
that even though the strike was not Or
dered by the Amalgamated Association,
yet, once being out, the Amalgamated
should have helped them.
The deputy sheriifs were withdrawn
tonight, but the approaches to the
works are still under watch. President
Dent, of the steel company, says hewill
not consider any applications for work
from any of the strikers and will send
for what men he wants.
The representative of the men who
went to Steelton from Harrisburg to-day
to try and effect some arrangement with
Major Dent was refused admission. No
more departments will be started this
week. There will be about 500 men
who were foremost in the strike lose
their places. 1t was noticeable that not
q row occurred during the entire strike

BALTIMORE, AID., July SO.-A reporter
Of THE Sun called tonight on Cardinal
Gibbons in rclationto the controversy
between the Bureau Of Catholic Indian
Missions and the Commissioner Of In
dian affairs. The cardinal said:
"Ihaye given the subject Of the Catho-
lie Indian Bureau III its relations TO the
Interior Department much anxious
thought during the last two weeks, und
have taken all the information that
could be obtained from best and most
trustworthy sources. l am now happy
10 DO in position TO commits
pieate facts and conclusions which
ought to dispel the fears and encourage
the hopes Of those intimately connected
with the Catholic Indians OF the United
States. Undue importance, l 'am now
satisfied, has been attached to the re-
cent controversy between the commits
sioner OF indian affairs, Hon. 7. ]. Nor
gan, and the Bureau Of Catholic Indian
missions.
"NIr. Morgan has thought it advisa.
bic for the more effective expediting Of
business in his department to have
all contracts for schools signed
by the several superintendents of
such schools rather than by. the
director OF the Catholic Bureau,
us heretofore practiced. 1 do not see
how this change can in any manner af-
feet the real interest OF the Indians, and
therefore it is much more benefited by
good temper and forbearance and a dis
position to waive minor points than by
harsh criticism and Incorporate speech.
I'VE should remember that men in
high places have conflicting interests to
subserye, and they are required to con-
slider the views and demands, not Of q
section OF the community, but of the
entire people. Catholics have many rea-
sons to thank God for the blessings
they enjoy as citizens OF the United
States. II is but Just to say in conclu-
sion that the Bureau OF Catholic Indian
Missions has never obtained for itself
OF for any one Of its employees one cent
Oi the Governments money.
THE cheques it has been receiving
from the Treasury of the United States
were Immediately endorsed over to the
superintendents OF the respective
schools. Its own expenses have been
entirely betrayed by private contribu-
tiOns."

A York County Girl shows Pluck and Pros
ence of Mind.
YORK, July SO.-AIiss Anna Benning-
ham, residing in Franklin township,
this county, had terrible experience
with large copperhead snake while
gathering blackberres to-day. Before
she was aware of the reptiles presence
it had encircled her wrist with its tail,
and with portion OF its body endeay-
ored to handcutr her other wrist, while
with its head 1t tried to strike her face,
but fortunately for her it had not meas
ured the distance correctly.
The thought occurred to her, she
said, to throw up her arms, which she
did so suddenly and with such force
that the kissing copperhead dropped to
the ground. Still retaining her pres
ence OF mind, the girl quickly brought
down her foot on the reptiles head and
and held 1t there while she screamed in
the highest for help. She was heard by
two men working in q field, who rushed
to her assistance and killed the snake.

ST.. PETERSBURG, July S0-The greatest
misery exists in Bessabaria, owing to
the failure OF the harvest and OF the
scarcity OF food.
In tho village Of Koushany the people
broke out in q riot, and plundered shops
OF provisions. The local police tried to
refrain them, and were badly beaten,
and one OF their number killed. Rein.
forcement arriving from the town OF
Bender, the rioters were at length dis
persed, and q large number were made
prisoners.
Two Of the prisoners were knouted to
death in the public street us warning
to their late companions and six were
selected for immediate deportation to
Siberia. The wives and children Of the
exiles were not permitted to speak to
them before departing, and nothing was
spared that would be likely to Strike
terror to the unhappy peasantry.
At Kishenau, the chief place OF the
province, it is said that not less than
twelve persons have died of starvation
this month. Not Jews alone, but many
Russians have hurried across the from
tier into Roumania in order TO escape
the severe measures since the outbreak.

asked the commissioners numerous

Gated to the Pope plan Of reforms, in
order to better regulate the action Of
the propaganda. But the coming of
General Simmons from England on
special mission to Pope Leo in refer
ence to colonial questions had the effect
OF postponing the execution of the pro-
iected reforms, as the propaganda did
not wish to awaken the idea that the re-
forms were made in consequence Of an
arrangement with England.
Any suspicion Of such an arrangement
would have reused the greatest jealousy
in France. Leo, who has always been
in favor Of the missions taking leading
part in the work OF colonization has
revived these projects Of reform. The

Herr Schloezer, the Prussian minister
to the Vatican, will soon leave Rome
for his ordinary vacation. His recent
negotiations with the Holy See have
had little success. The Vatican is
greatly dissatisfied with the hardness
with which Prussia is inclined TO treat
the most urgent ecclesiastical affairs.
The recent economic crisis at Rome
has almost ruined many OF the great
ancient families, such as the Borghese,
Sciarra and Barberini. The Borghese
family appears to have been the greatest
sufferers. Paul Borghesc, its present
head, is said to have ordered the most
rigorous economy in the management
of his properties in order toget over the
great losses recently sustained. he has
distributed the works of art which COM
posed the celebrated Borghese gallery
among his nine brothers, so as TO enable
them TO lease the apartments given up
to tho art collections, to bank. One
hears expressions Of regret on all sides
ut this action. It is feared that the exc
ample may find imitation on the part Of
the other great families, and that there
may thus be general breaking up Of
the fine private art collections al Rome.

Of High Bridge, when No. % freight
coming north TO this city was thrown
from the track by broken axle and five
heavily loaded cars went tumbling down
