A banker named Whitmore OF Nephi,
Utah, was swindled one day last week
ON a gold brick transaction. Three men
did the job and got away nicely with
the money. One Of the trio was said to
be Spaniard. The supposed Spaniard
was arrested and lodged in jail at Salt
Lake, where, at 2 o'clock in the morning,
the swindled Whitmore and some friends
visited him and tortured from him con-
fession that he was one Of the swiudlers,
and also took from him $500 in currency.
The means of torture used were buck.
akin throng and an iron bolt, converted
into thumb.screw. After the opera
tion was over, Whitmore, exhibiting the
throng and bolt, is said to have re-
marked: Il knew how to make him

AN ARMY OF IDLE woRKMEN.

Fuel Are Paralyzed.

Many Industries Dependent ON Coke for
Fuel Are Paralyzed.
PITTsBuRG, Pa, March 3.-The begin
ming of the month finds $4,000 men in
Western Pennsylvania on strike. The
coke troubles are responsible for the
idleness of $4,000 of these, and those of
the river coal miners add Ii, 900. THE shut
down in the Mahoning and Shenango
valleys affects 900 moro. The idleness
keeps $670, 900 from coming into this
part of the State every week, that being
the value of the product of the men
when at work. In addition to this
many industries dependent on coke are
paralyzed. The Carnegie mills had 90
days supply on hand, but most of the
others had less than 80 days stock, and
must shortly shut down If the strike is
not brought to a close.
Strikes are frequent here, but it is sell
dom thatkso many mon are out at once.
The loss in wages has amounted to 81, >
125, 900 since the strike began, and many
poor people are in actual want.
There is great depression in the win
dows glass trade. Thirty-two factories
have closed, and it is probable that more
will follow. The probability of general
strike in the building trades is largely
responsible for the present state of at

In the Maine state prison instruction
is given the prisoners in reading, spell
ing, writing, arithmetic, bookkeeping,
geography and history, and at present
there are two pupils in Latin. A teach
e is constantly employed in this work.
The pupils receive their teaching at the
cell doors, as it was found that when all
were collected together in one room,
many came simply for the privilege of
getting out of their cells for a time,
while some who needed instruction
most- stayed away rather than expose
their ignorance to their fellow prisoners.
The teacher reports thac some of the
prisoners have made great progress and
that the instruction has excellent results
in the direction of reform.
