THE R1OE POOL

Is Patterned Largely After the Famous
Cotton Seed Oil Trust.
The New Orleans rice mills, thirteen
in number, have organized pool or
combination very similar to the cotton
seed oil mills Each mill will be
put in the pool at fixed price;
some of them will be closed and
others operated, and the profits will
be divided among them in pro-
portion to the amount of stock or GER
tificates each holds. The pool hopes to
entirely control the rice trade, to fix
the price of rough and cleaned rice not
only for Louisiana, but for the greater
portion OF the country. So far it is
confined to Louisiana, but it may be
extended so as to include all the other
rice mills in the country, as northern
syndicate with this object in view Sc
cured options on all the New Orleans
mills some time ago, which options
have not yet expired.

Tell What Caused Death-A Case

Robed in white and in a leaden coffin,
Charles Stewart Parnell lies in state in

high gray house, which shows no light
in its dark and gloomy interior save
that which filters in through the
fan-light over the door. In front, only
few yards across the parade. tho

while along the eastern horizon lies a
bank of heavy black clouds. The
whole scene is typical of mourning for
the brilliant but checkered and sad
career OF the man who lies in death be-
hind the iron framed, glass-fronted ver-
anda. 1t was decided Thursday that
the funeral ceremony will be held nt
the cemetery at Glasneven, a village
about three and half miles
north of Dublin. on Sunday next.
The body will arrive in Dub
lin Sunday morning and will be taken
in state to the city hall, and from there
the funeral will proceed. Extensive
preparations have already been COM
menced in view of the monster demon
stration which is sure to follow. The
last hours of Mr. Parnell were inde-
scribnbly painful. The severe cold he
contracted at Galway brought on a
fover, which burst forth on Sunday.
The doctors had the gravest fears, as
he was unable to take any food and
on Monday night spasms set in, which,
though intermittent, were Of increasing
strength and produced intense anguish

Charles Stewart Parnel1 died at
Brighton Tuesday night His death
was the result Of a chill which he had
contracted last week. On Friday he
took to his bed His death occurred at
Washington Terrace, Brighton, at, 30
minutes past II o'clock Tuesday night.
The news has created intense excite
ment in London, and bulletin reports
OF the newspaper offices are surround
ed by crowds of people awaiting the
coming details of this most unexpected
event kilograms are pouring in to the
late leaders friends in London from all
parts OF Ireland, urging them to for
ward promptly to that country every
scrap OF news in connection with his
death which possibly can be obtained.
On Friday evening, shortly after Mr..
Parnell had been induced to retire to his
bed, his condition became SO grave that
Mrs Parnell and the attending phy-
sician decided it advisa BILE to at once
summon additional medical advice
Two other physicians were at once
called in. Notwithstanding their eff
forts, Mr.. Parnell continued to grow
worse, and it soon became obvious
that the Irish leader gradually
was sinking, and that death was
but question of few days
perhaps hours. Since late on the even
ing OF Friday it appears to have been
simply matter of awaiting the arrival
OF the inevitable. Mrs Parnell, who
has been completely devoted to her
husband, refusing to leave his bedside
for even an hours rest, is utterly pros
trated by the shock, and her physicians
are somewhat apprehensive as to her
condition

All Depend on Whether Secretary Blaine
Will Resume His Oficial Duties.
There is rumor to the effect that
the president inclines to the belief that
Secretary of State Blaine will not re-
turn to Washington to resume his Off
cial duties, and if he does not Mr.. Har-
rison has selected man to take the
vacant shoes. Gen. John w. Foster.
according to the rumor, is next for
promotion to the state department.
There is good reason given for
this action. Mr.. Miller, it now seems
certain, will go out of the cabinet and
take a judgeship when. the new ap-
pointments are made. Then Indiana
will be without a cabinet officer. The
reasons which indicate Mr. Fosters ap-
pointment are equally cogent. If new
man went into the state department it
would take him six months to ''get the
run" of things, whereas Mr.. Foster
having really done about all that has
been accomplished since Mr.. Blaine
left, could take up the work where it.
now is, and carry 1T to speedy and
successful conclusion

A FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Terrible Struggle of an Aged Far,

Terrible Struggle of Aged Farmer
with an Immense Mastif.
terrible fight is reported from
kockcastlc, Mason county, w. Va, be-
tween large mastiff. weighing one
hundred pounds, and Daniel Oliver a
wealthy farmer more than sixty years
OF age. For some time past dogs have
been killing sheep in that neighbor-
hood, and, hearing commotion
among his sheep, Mr.. Oliver went
out with a large knife in his
hand. he grasped the dog by the
throat, and after a terrible struggle
plunged his knife several times into the
dogs breast. Thinking to have fatally
wounded the animal, he threw it off.
The animal soon rallied, and darting at
MIR. Oliver, grasped him by the throat,
and threw him down declivity, An
other struggle occurred, in which Mr..
Oliver was badly bitten. By dexter
GUS thrust he plunged the knife into the
dogs heart, and the animal fell over
dead, just as the old man was about to
succumb. Despite his age he is man
of great strength.

Interesting Figures.

A review OF the extent to which rail-
way construction has been going on in
the United States during the present
year shows that during the nine months
ended September 30 there were 2, ,s93
miles of main line built on 1856 different
roads. Although there are three months
OF the year left in which the track-lay-
Ing in progress on a number of short
lines will be materially increased, it
now seems probable that the total for
1891 will fall below 5000 miles. At
present it is about 900 mIes less
than at the same time in 1890, when
the total for the year reached nearly g.
7SS miles

CRIMES CONFESSED

By Woman Under Arrest ut Scranton.
Pa, and VIII BE Probably Prosecuted for
Murder.
Mrs Fannie Decker was arrested at
Scranton, Pa, Saturday night, charged
with performing one hundred criminal
operations, the one leading to the ar
rest being that performed upon Mrs
Lena Brersin, of Hyde Park. The
story of the crime is as strange as
1t is shocking. Mrs. Brersin-nee
Lena Muller-was betrayed by Mi
chael Brersin some months ago, under
promise of marriage. Shortly after that
Brersin disappeared. Deserted by her
lover, and fearful of facing the derision
of the world alone, Miss Muller called
upon Mrs. Decker, who informed her
that she could easily rid her of her EN-.
barrassment. The operation was per-
formed last Monday. On Wednes-
day Brersin returned, explained
his absence and married. the girl
that day. The same night she
was taken sick, and on Friday night
her physicians told her she was about
to die. Then she sent for an officer.
and her confession was made in writing
and signed. The mode of operation Of
Mrs Decker is described in the details
of this confession. The woman seems
to have made a confidant of her latest
patron, telling her of one hundred SIM
liar operations which she had perform
ed. Mrs. Decker, who is the wife of a
man OF means, has been arrested for
the criminal operation, and will be
prosecuted for murder IL, as is expect
ed, Mrs. Brersin dies.

UNDER THE GUILD SOD.
Parnolle Funeral a Groat Demon
stration.
Rioters Deny the Corpse q Peaceful
Burial, Their Orgies Even Invade
the Graves Solemnity.

1t is pity to be-tcompelled to say
that Parnell's public funeral Sunday
ended at nightfall with the toughest
kind OF rowdyism and ribaldry on the
very verge of the grave; yet any state
ment more moderate than this would
not come within reasonable limit of
truth. The people were beaten back
with sticks from the graves side,
and sent home with bleeding
heads. Many of Pnrnelrs colleagues,
who had followed the hearse, for
miles through the mud, were unable to
get anywhere near the grave, and those
who did succeed in getting there were
obliged to plead piteously with the
unruly crowd not to trample Parnelps
weeping relatives under their heels.
The spectacle in every way was
more disgraceful than was probably
ever seen at funeral. Parnelrs
colleagues feel keenly mortified
over it, since a very little forethought
might have prevented it. With the
exception of the two hours delay in
starting, mainly due to the unpropitious
weather. the arrangements made for
burylng Parnell worked admirably, un-
I'll 1t came to the final scenes at the
cemetery, where everything collapsed.
1t is only fair to say that this disturb
ance was not due in the slightest de-
gree to Anti-Parnellites Otherwise
the funeral was great demonstration
Over 40, 600 viewed the remains in Dub
lin hall and most of them followed
them TO the tomb. 1t was
dark before the body was
placed in the grave, and amid shrieks
OF women, the scene was weird one.
Mrs. Parnell did not attend the funeral,
as her condition is serious. The con.
tributions of flowers were many, Miss
oShea's floral tribute being, ''In Low.
ing Memory of Mothers Husband"
