PHILADELPHIA, July 20.-The case OF
Henry II. Yard, charged with contempt
of court in not appearing before the
city councils committee of investiga-
ton, was up again before common pleas
court, but was not finally disposed Of.
The decision Of the case hinged on
whether or not the writ of certiorari
taken out by Yards attorney was a
supersedeas and stayed further pro-
ceedings in the lower court. After
hearing the argument Judge Allison an
nounced that it was not in the power of
the common pleas court to decide
whether or not the writ of certiorari
was intended as a supersedeas by the
supreme court, by which it was issued,
and in the meantime Yard would be
held under s. 900 bail until the supreme
court should decide if court No. /, COM
mon pleas, could, under the circum-
stances, commit him for contempt

NEW YORK, July 20.-Mrs. Ella Tar
gett, of 7Si Amersterdam, woman of
large frame, is in the insane pavilion at

ers the greatest trouble, and she is al.

She is the wife of George Targett, an
agent for several fat houses, and was
brought by him to the hospital on July
10. When he brought her there he said
that his wife's insanity had been
brought on by sitting at the dentists,
at which she had nineteen teeth drawn
while under laughing gas. The Belle.
vue physicians do not consider the den.
tist responsible for Mrs. TARGETS con.
dition.

The parents, particularly the mothers, of
many youths dread their becoming soldiers.
Some look upon the army as the very last
resource of the penniless and the vicious.
They decline to believe the statements
blazoned forth in red and blue print on the
posters at railway stations and elsewhere.
II youth does so far harden his heart as
to talk to the recruiting sergeant he has to
meet that functionary at some out-of-the-
way place where his female relations will
not be likely to see him. The sergeant him
self has to keep out of their sight also.
And even when the youth has enlisted he
may have to remain for weeks or months
at the depot near his native town, subject
to the reproaches of his relatives and
friends. This is greatly objected to by the
majority of young soldiers.
A slight increase in the soldiers pay, or,
rather, decrease in his stoppages, would,
we believe, go n great way to run up the
number and raise the standard Of recruits.
Other remedies may be quite unnecessary
II that were conceded; but until the sol
dier can be got to look upon dismissal
from the service as the greatest punish
ment that can be inflicted On him for the
usual military offenses there will be no
real progress toward the perfection all
must long to see in our army.-Army and

MURDERED ON THE ROADSIDE.
Dragged from Her Mothers Side te
Meet Tragic Death.

Meet Tragic Death.
HANOVER, N. H., July 20.-As Miss
Christie Warden, accompanied by hei
mother, her sister Fannie and Louise
Goodell, was returning on foot to hei
home, situated one mile from the vii
age. at late hour. Frank Almy, about
30 years of age, jumped into the road in
front of them and seizing Christie by the
arm said: II want you"
The mother and sister attempted to
defend her. Almy fired at them, but
missed. They ran for assistance. Then
Almy dragged his victim into the bushes
from the road and shot her twice
through the head, one shot tearing out
her left eye. When help arrived the
girl was dead, and her body was stripped
of nearly every article of clothing.
Almy had fled.
Miss Warden was beautiful and
most estimable woman, about 25 years
old, graduate of the State Normal
school, and a popular teacher. Almy
was former employe of her father, and
his attention to Miss Christie had been
repulsed. She was a daughter of An
drew A. Warden, a wealthy farmer and
leading citizen.
A large number of armed men, among
them nearly all of Dartmouth's profess
sors, who are spending their vacations
here, are securing the country. Almy
first came here about year ago, saying
that Savannah, Ga, was his home. He
worked at Wentworth awhile under an
other name

CARLYLE, Ills, July 20.-During 5
circus performance here the tent was
blown down on the large audience. In
stantly the worst panic prevailed, and
for a few moments the shouts of men,
the shrieks of women and the scream;
of children were appalling. One woman
was caught under a fallen pole and waa
thought to be dead, but when extricate6
1t was found that she had merely
swooned. Several children fell through
the seats to the ground below, and then
parents became frantic. Finally tn,
canvas was lifted and the panic wa,
abated sufficiently to admit of restoring
order. 1t was found then that no ont
was seriously injured.

FROM FOREIGNLANDS
A Monster Meeting Of Railway
Employees in Paris
THREATENS TO PARALYzE TRAFFIC

A Fight for the Preservation OF
Labor Unions on the One Hand
and for Their Death on the
Other Other Old World News
Notes of Interest.
PARIS, July 20.-A monster meeting
of railway employees, composing those
already on strike and large number
who went out this morning, was held
yesterday, with the usual inhammatory
speeches, deneuncing the railway Off
cials and declaring that the strike would
last until the smallest details of the de-
mands made by the men shall be con-
ceded by the companies. The issue in
the contest is strongly drawn and ad-
mits of no compromise. 1t is purely a
fight for the life of labor unionism
on the part of the men and fight for
its death on the part of the companies.
A Fight Against the Unions.
The trouble grew out of the frequent
and wholesale dismissals by the COM
panies of employees, invariably members
of various unions. Whether the selec-
ton of men for dismissal was made de-
signedly from the ranks of the unionists
the officials would ngt say, though they
were repeatedly pressed to do SO. This
action, With its accompanying reticence
on the part of the employers, was CON
strued as deliberate attack upon the
unions because of former demands for
better pay, shorter hours and other bene-
fits which the companies had declined
to grant. 1t was declared at yesterdays
meeting that sufficient number of men
would join the strikers in Paris and
along the lines of the five roads involved
to bring the already badly crippled
traffic to complete standstill before to-
night.
1t is significant fact that the boasts
made by the officers of the companies to
fill the strikers places within three
hours were not made good, a large
number of men at various places upon
whom the company relied to help them
out having at the critical moment de-
clined to work. The meeting was a
very orderly one, and the men looked
and expressed themselves as confident
OF success.

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-Captain Alex
ander Rodgers, the special commits
sioner of the Worlds Columbian expo
sition to Brazil, is now making tour Of
the provinces, and sends the most en-
couraging reports as to the interest
manifested in the fair. On May 81 he
was presented to the governor of the
large state of Minas Coraes. The gov
ernor showed great anxiety to do all
that he could to promote the success of
the fair in his state, and said he would
at once appoint state commission to
carry on the work of securing fine ex-
hibit of in products. He proposes to
ask state Congress for an appropriation
of $4,000. There seems to be strong
feeling of friendly rivalry between the
different states in Brazil as to which
shall have the finest exhibit.

1t Results in the Loss of Eleven
Lives Near Liverpool.
LIVERPOOL, July 20.-A train passing
along the line of the Manchester ship
canal fell over the embanl1ment. killing
eleven men who were working under
the heading. In addition to the men
killed many other workmen were in
jured.
The accident was due to the fact that
the pointsman, boy II years of age,
mistook the points and turned the train,
consisting of twenty-five wagons loaded
with ballast, into siding leading into
a cutting. The train then crashed into
a slight buffer at the end of the cutting,
and toppled over upon the men at work
below. The bodies of the men were
horribly mutilated The boy points
man ran away when he saw that the
accident was due to his mistake. He
was captured later in the day, and was
charged with manslaughter.

LUCERNE, July 2O.-The famous Afri-
can explorer, Henry NJ. Stanley, is now
stopping at Murren. A rumor, which
seems to come from reliable source,
says that the famous traveller and his
wife, formerly Miss Dorothy Tennant,
have separated. He left London about
fortnight ago, and after going to Paris
came here. He proposes to extend his
trip as far rs Australia, where he will
remain several months. AS it has al
ready been announced that his wife
would not accompany him, but would
remain in London, it is probable that
they desire to attract as little attention
as possible to their separation. The
cause of this is said to be due to the
positive nature Of both husband and
wife, which, owing to the many years
they lived alone, makes it difficult to
conform to the peculiar views of each
other.
