PREFERRED DEATH.
Pierre Moran, Charged with a Crime
Commits Suicide in a Boston Prison.

Pierre Moran, Charged with a Crime,
Commits Suicide in Boston Prison.
Pierre Morain committed suicide in
Boston, where he was confined for Grim
inal assault. Morain was of noble
French family, his father being a count.
Early in the morning he used to creep
out from his abode bearing on his back
diapidated hand-organ of the style
known as the organette, and make his
way to prominent position in front of
the Cranberry buryingplace, where all
day he ground out wheezy melody. He
was the object of much attention on the
part Of passing philanthropists, and at
night, laden with copper and larger
COINS he returned to his lodgings.
At the time of his death in the Charles
street jail Morain was go years old, al
though his general appearance Indicated
a much greater age. Soon after he took
the rooms where he was known to have
led a hermit life, it was alleged that not
understanding his humble income he was
able to stock his room with French wines
and that many of his visitors were girls
of tender years. Patrolmen entered the
old mans rooms searching for May
Regain, who had been reported
missing. Morain fell on his knees
and with tears implored them not
TO take him away. In the rear
room was found the Reagan girl weeping
profusely. The girl SAID that she had
loved the old man and did not want to
leave him. The parents of the girl de-
clarcd that she was less than IA years
old, and expressed desire that the law,
which the announcement of this fact
would make operative, should be. eXer-
cised against the aged prisoner.
The girl was sent to the Home Of the
Good Shepherd and Morain was bound
over in the. sum of $1,000 He hung
himself in his cell with his handker-
chief

NAvAssA RIOTERS SAVED.

Their Death Sentence COMMITTED to I'M
prisonment for Life.
The President has comm uted to imprison-
ment for life at hard labor the sentence OF
the three Navassa rioters sentenced by the
Circuit Court of Maryland to be hanged
In taking this action President Harrison
says: @The conditions surrounding the pr1s-
oners and their fellows were of a most pc
culiar character. They were American citi-
zens under contracts to perform labor upon
specified terms within American territory
removed from any opportunity to appeal to
any court or public officer for redress of any
injury or the enforcement of any civil
right Their employers were, in fact, their
masters. The bosses placed over them inn
posed fms andipenalties without any SEM
blance of trial. These penalties extended
to imprisonment and even to the cruel prac-
tfce Of trfcing men up for a refusal to work.
Escape was impossible and the state OF
things generally such as might make men
reckless and desperate.n

Looking to a Third Party.

The So called National Union conference
of the organization supposed to favor a
third party has attracted a large crowd of
grangers to Cincinnati, but it is a signif-
can't fact that comparatively few States in
the East are represented. Two delegates
from Maine and four from Massachusetts
comprise the contingent from New England.
The Maine delegates are old Greenbackers
who were here four years ago at the organ
ization of the old Union Labor party, while
those from Boston are deciples Of Edward
Bellamy and his utopian ideas. The New
York delegation is small and there are only
two or three from Pennsylvania.

THIS rs ENCOURAGING.

There Is Notable Strengthening in Al
Lines Of Business.
R. G. Dun & Co. s weekly review Of trade
says:
In every respect the outlook is more IA
vorable, excepting the large exports of gold
and the advance in Bank of England rates
to per cent, obviously for the purpose of
drawing more gold from this country. 1t
is most favorable symptom that the con-
tinued exports of gold cause no panic in
this market. 1T is q significant fact that
the exports in April were about double last
years in value as to cotton, and showed an
increase in oil and provisions, but de-
crease in cattle and in breadstuffs,
yet in breadstuffs the decrease was wholly
in corn, and tho surpluss of wheat
available for export was, May 1, about 3d.
100000 bushels. The exports of wheat from
Atlantic ports have been much smaller than
year ago until last week, when an in
crease of 10 per cent appears. In corn the
decrease is heavy, of course The iron
furnaces in blast May 1 were of about 1000
tons greater weekly capacity than April l,
1885 tons, against 113,4S3 month ago,
and 10000 a year ago. But the trade is
less depressed and the long delay in settle
ment of the coke strike tends to strengthen
prices. The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the last
seven days number 237 as compared with
total of 242 last week. For the correspond
ing week of last year the figures were 2i2.

WEST VIRGINIA FEUD.
EXIT HATFIELD-M'C ENTER
HALL-STEELE.

Three Men Killed, One Mortally Wounded
The Trouble Likely to Involve Hun
dreds of People One Faction Takes
Refuge In the Mountains.
There is again bloodshed and pros
| pect for more in Southern West Vir-
ginia, as result of one of those feuds
which appear to be indigenous to that
section. The present outbreak is in
Mcdowell County, one of the most re-
mote and wild portions of the State. and
occurred at small cross-road called
Geiger, the participants being members
of the Hall and Steele families, the most
influential ones in that vicinity. The
trouble originated some time ago in a
land trade and differences growing out
OF timber transactions. The Halls are
the most numerous and desperate, but
the Steeles are not lacking in courage.
Recently a lawsuit was in progress
before Squire Murphy, at Geiger. Four
Halls, all brothers, and two of the
Steeles were in court, a small room in a
log dwelling of the Squire. One of the
Halls was on the stand testifying when
a statement of his was denied by one of
the Steeles The lie passed. and the
Halls and Steeles, all of whom were
armed, began firing.
1u0 ECt00lCS udU GuG UGbt0T pOSIblOus
and the Halls, to gain advantage, backed
out and ran for protection to some near
by trees, pursued by the Steeles. The
dozen or more spectators and witnesses
who had been i'll. the room disappeared in
all directions, and the belligerents had
the field to themselves The Steeles
being in the minority were at disad-
vantage, but fought manfully. Two of
the Halls worked up behind the SteeleS
and opened in on them, while the two in
front did the same. Placed thus between
two batteries the Steeles fought furiously,
and succeeded in killing L. w. Hall and
wounding his brother, Lewis, fatally be-
fore they were themselves shot down.
The surviving Halls, carrying their
wounded brother between them, has
tened to their home where they secured
ammunition and food and fled into hid
ing in the mountains.
The Steels lay on the ground for sew
eral hours, the neighborS fearing to in
cur the luminosity of the Halls. Late
in the day the father and other relatives
of the dead men arrived on the scene
heavily armed and took away their dead.
One of the murdered Steeles had been
married only few weeks. The Steele
following announced that after the
funeral they would go on the warpath
and eXterminate the Halls. Both sides
have so married and intermarried with
other families in the county that several
hundred persons are directly or Indirect
ly interested in the feud, and the chances
for regular war are good.
The civil authorities have made no at
tempt to arrest the Hall boys, as they
know it would be almost impossible at
this time and could be accomplished only
after bloodshed. The Halls are supposed
to be in some one of the several lumber
camps in the county, where they are al
most as inaccessible as if they were in the
WildS of Alaska The Woodsmen are a.
rough lot, and would as soon fight as not,
and if opportunity offered would become
allies to the Halls.

Registered Packages Bound for Chicago
Stolen from a Wagon in New York.
The postofice authorities of New York
City are trying hard to solve the mystery of
one of the most daring mail robberies ever
planned. few minutes before o clock
the other night two men pried open the
door of a big mail-wagon while it was
driving along Fifth avenue on its way to
the Grand Central depot and stole a
pouch containing eighty registered pack
ages. The contents and value of the pack
ages are not known, butt they probably con-
tanned several thousand dollars of money.
The pouch stolen was for Chicago, and most
of the packages were addressed to persons
in that city. The pouch was intended for
the Chicago express due to leave the Grand
Central depot at 0:05 p. m. The stolen
pouch has been recovered by the police.

A LITTLE roo REALISTIC.
Jennie Yeamans Eaints, but She Pulls the
Hero from the Plank just in Time.

JENNIE 4eamanS OUG SHo HulIS the
Hero from the Plank just in Time.
The "buzz-sawn scene in "Blue Jeans" at
McVickers Theater, Chicago, was never
more loudly applauded than at a recent
performance. In this particular scene, Mr..
Earcourt, the hero, is thrown by the villain
and fastened on board, which, as the ma
chinery is set in motion, gradually APP
proaches the big circular saw. 1t is the
duty of the heroine, Miss Yeamans, to cut
herself out of the Office in which she has
been locked up, and save the hero at the
moment the saw is about to cut him in two.
"Fawcett threw me just six inches out of
place." said Mr.. Harcourt, "but [ didn't
know it, Miss Yeamans saw the danger [
was in and tried to get at me. She tried
to open the door as she usually does, but for
some unaccountable reason she couldn't.
She then burst it with her hands, slightly
cutting them. Instead of running down the
steps, she jumped, nearly upsetting herself.
She managed to get to me just in time to free
me, and as the curtain fell she tainted. y
This will seem singular, as it is generally
believed that the huge saw that looks so
dangerous cannot do any injury to any one.
Evidently such is not the case.

CAPT. LANDGRAF ACQUITTED.
The Jury Decided that He Was Not Guilty
of Murder.

At Milwaukee, Wis, the jury in the case
of Capt. Landgraf, of the steamer Nevada,
charged with the murder of a sailor named
Wilbur last September, returned verdict
of not guilty after being out eight minutes.
Wilbur and another sailor went aboard the
steamer as she was about to leave here for
Escanaba, and demanded his pay. Capt.
Landgraf claimed that as both men had
signed articles for the round trip and then
quit the vessel without notice that morn
ing, neither was entitled to a cent of wages.
Both Wilbur and his companion were the
worse for liquor and insisted on being paid.
They followed Capt. Landgraf aft in a
threatening way, and near the boiler-house
advanced as if to attack him. In the ex-
citement Capt. Landgraf discharged his
revolver and Wilbur fell dead. Captain
Landgraf was tried last winter, and the
iUry DISAGREED.
