MOVING BUTCHER SHOPS.
Meat Sold in Mexico City from the Backs
 of Patient Donlkcys.

Meat Sold in Mexico City from the Hacks
 of Patient Donkcys.
 Only the better classes of Mexicana eat meat, and one of the great fields of American investment is in the packing interests of Mexico, says the New York World. Hams and beef bring high prices, and the meat business of the city is managed by monopolies. Good beeves are worth from $25 to $50 a head. There is more mutton eaten than beef. The meat wagons of Mex ico City are mules. Take one of the greasiest, dirtiest mules you can find and fasten a framework of hooks to a saddle on his back. Let this frame work extend about foot above the mule and on the hooks hang the halves and quarters of beeves, so that the blood drips from them to the ground. When tho mules are small the meat al most touches the ground. Then you have the Mexican butcher cart of the mountains. The butcher or meat ped dler wears a great blanket about his shoulders, broad-brimmed hat on his head and his feet are bare. If you buy quarter of beef he will carry it into your house on his head, and if you want a slice he will hack off a piece for you and charge you about the same for the neck as the loin. The Mexicans sell every part of the animal, and in every market you will find little cook shops in which shreds of beef are fried and

THE BRAKE WOULDN'T WORK.
Accident to Gravity Car at Readi ns
 Causes Two Deaths,

READING, Pa., Nov. 6.-Two cars on the Mount Penn Gravity road got be- yond the control of the conductor and brakeman yesterday afternoon and jumped the track near the station on the homestretch.
 Irving Houck, the conductor, was in- stantly killed by the collision of the car with a huge rock. Anthony O. Keeley, brakeman, was fatally crushed. Keeley assisted in building the road and came here from Kentucky three years ago. Miss Mary Beck, of Philadelphia, was badly cut about the head and body, but her injuries are not regarded as fatal. Frank Klemmer, her companion, also from Philadelphia, sustained fractured skull and will hardly recover. Thom as w. Ganter, of this city, was cut about the head and body.
 The failure of the employees to hold the car, it is said, was caused by bad rail and wet leaves, which became wedged between the brake liners and wheels.
 The injured were taken to the Reading Hospital. George Johnson of this city, a passenger, jumped from one of the cars just previous to the crash au1 es- capped injury. No others were injured.

ANOTHER MINERS STRIKE.

Caused By the Refusal of the Coal Oper-
 tors to RecognizeHthe Union.
 PITTsBURG, Nov. 6.-Another break between the railroad coal opera tors aud miners has occurred, and about 1, ,000 of the miners have refused to return to work because of the operators refusing to recognize the miners union.
 The operat ors at several of the mines say, that while they are willing to treat with the miners individually they will not recognize their organization. The miners say that their organization will be recognized or another general strike will be ordered.
 At a meeting of the river operators yesterday the subject of reduction of wages of their employees to the three per cent. bushel rate for mining was not discussed. Prominent river operators deny that such move is contemplated.
 The amount of coal loaded and in the river harbors is not nearly sufficient to supply the demand during the winter. Many millions of bushels must be dug Eefore existing contracts are satisfied.

THE TREASURY INVESTTGA1IoN.
Attorney Gilbert sums Up for Hover in
 the PenDsyivani Senate.

the Pennsylvania Senate.
 HARRISBURG, Pa, Nov. 6.-Mr. Gilbert, promptly after the Senate opened, arose to address himself to the evidence that had been submitted. Speaking on be- half of MT. Boyer, Mr. Gilbert confined himself to three points, viz: First, Did Boyer participate in the misuse of the public money? Second, Did he know ingly allow 1t to be done? Third, Was the loss of public money due to his con duct?
 Mr. Gilbert attacked the Governors message convening the Senate. He ad- mitted that it was great State paper, but it contained grave errors and did great injustice to MT. Boyer. The Gov ernor knew, said he that MT. Boyer had denied the charges he had presented in the message, and these denials should have gone side by side with the charges. Other charges were admissions made by Boyer.
 MT. Gilbert called attention to that part of the message dealing with the payment of $420, 900 school money that was paid to Bardsley. The Governor knew, he said, that Boyer had given full and sufficient reason for that act, had sought advice and found there was warrant of law for it.
 Mr. Gilbert was inclined to throw some of the responsibility for the Bards- ley losses upon the Governor, who had been twice Controller of Philadelphia, and was thoroughly acquainted with the financial method of the city. Said MT. Gilbert: "He has taken ad = vantage of the Constitution, which all lows him to ask for information in writing of the affairs of the State De- partment and nothing has been dis closed in either the Boyer or McCamant departments. The Secretary of the Commonwealth is one of the commits sioners of the sinking fund, and sits with Treasurer Boyer. Investigation after investigation by him has failed to find anything here except that which has been admitted by Boyer himself. The Attorney General, who has made thorough study os this case, and has addressed numeraus inquiries to Mr. Boyer, has failed to turn anything up."
 To-day theiAttorney General is review. ing the evidence, and replying to the | question of jurisdiction.

PlTTsBURG, Nov. 6.-In the United States Circuit Court yesterday Rev. A. T. Sutherland, of Hazleton, Luzernt County, convicted last July at Erie, ot sending obscene publications through the mails, was called up for sentence.

IS II WAR WITH CHILL?
Minister Egan and His Visit to Waterbury Nine Years Ago.

We hate war. We don't like to see any one going around with a chip on his shoulder daring some one to knock it off, like three or four of our European neigh bors. But how are we to make the name of an American citizen respected abroad :! But Chili has made us chilly indeed A nation of sixty-fve millions of people against a nation of about two million is like an elephant in the path of rat. Ru - she has a navy twice the size of our own: and better ships. The days of b0rbarism Ss not yet over, and we had better go to work and get navy. Minister Egan spent several days in Waterbury nine years ago and we had a chance to size him up. When we say he is of the Gen Grant type, we are describing him very clo+ely. Cool, modest, ,unasumingwith great force of char acter. He has always been Teetotaler He is just the man to do his duty and do 1t well, and when the cobweb of the pres eAt difficulty is wiped away, Minister E9an will be like the diamond, the moro he is rubbed the brighter he will shine. We all want something to stir up trade, and we were never so well prepared to furnish the people as we are this fall in STOVES, RANGES, (we are sole agents for the fam ous QUAKER RANGES, and don't guar antee any other Chamber Sets, Parlor Suits, Bedding, Comfortables, Pictures. We are sole agent for the famous Standard Folding Beds.
