LONDON, Aug. i4.-Terrible wretched-
ness exists in the quaint old town Of Work
ington, Cumberland. The manufacturers
have shut down, and 5000 people, which
means all the able bodied population OF
working age, are out Of employment. Hun
dreds Of houses are deserted, their former
occupants have gone elsewhere TO get a
living, and those who remain are pictures
Of misery and despair Hollow eyed, sun
ken checked people can be seen on the
streets who gaze famiahingly al the bake
shops aud other places where food is sold,
but which they have no money TO buy.
The local relief funds are exhausted, and
private charity has come in some degree
70 the aid Of the unhappy people.

MosBY's SHOT FAILED.
He Fired AZ Count Mitkiewicz but Did
Not Hit Him.

Not Hit Him.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Count Eugene
Mitkiewicz, of this city; Beverly @. Mosby,
OF Warrenton, Va; his sister, Miss Stuart
Mosby, and "Shoeboxn Miller, of Pitts
burg, are the leading characters In a do
mestic drama enacted here, and which
but for the poor craftsmanship of Mr..
Mosby would have ended in tragedy.
The details of the affair are full Of ro
mantle interest.
Count Mitkiewicz will be remembered
MS the man who secured concession from
the Chinese government for the establish
ment of an international bank with a
capital OF $50, ,O00, 900 several years ago.
Beverley Mosby Is a son of General
Mosby, of the Confederate army. His
sister, Miss Stuart Mosby, is a tall stately
blond with face rather intellectual than
pretty and penchant for literature.
Miller came TO Washington about six
months ago with letters Of introduction
to Count Mitkiewicz from a syndicate Of
Pittsburg capitalists. The two became
fast friends Miller was frequently at the
counts house. There he met Miss Mosby
and in time an engagement of marriage
was formed between them.
Mosby came home several weeks ago, in
yestigated Afiller's antecedents and found
that Miller served term OF six years at
the Riverside lpa) penitentiary for being
implicated in a robbery at Brady's Bend,
above Pittsburg.
He escaped from prison in a packing box
nsed for the transportation OF prison made
btoss. He was recaptured and finished
hts term. From the manner OF his escape
he gained the sohriquet OF "Shoeboxn
Miller Mr.. Mosby was also told that
Miller was a bigamist, who had three
wives living. Mosby came back to Wash
ington with fire in his eye. Mosby at once
upbraided Mitkiewicz for bringing about
the betrothal of his sister aud the counts
| friend.
The men had hot words Mosby stepped
back, and drawing a self cooking revolver
fred full at the counts chest His un
steady aim caused the bullet TO lodge ii
the wainscoting of the parlor, and before
he could fire again he was disarmed. Thi
matter was subsequently settled by I
written apology on Mosby's part Mis-
Moshy is true to her lover. She refuses Il
believe the stories about him.

BERLIN, Aug. 1.-THE excitement is in
creasing in the manufacturing districts
over the high price Of bread, and the work
ingmen are clnmoring for the repeal Of the
corn duties. The Social Democratic party
is proclaiming everywhere that once in
power it would sweep away all duties on
food. In Leipsic clubs are being organ
ized whose object is TO secure the repeal of
corn duties, and nultitudes Of working
men are being enrolled.
Fears Of Riot.
The government is evidently disturbed
by the situation, as u is feared that riots
may break out in some OF the districts
where the suffering Is greatest, and there
is no doubt Of the sympathy OF the soldiers,
and even Of many of the police, with the
nearly starving people. In Greis, 1t is
said family Of four persons has been
found that had only one small loaf of rye
bread in three days TO live on. They were

tiles for relief.

The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1891-12-31

IT is now given out as mat
ter of record that Stephen b.
Elkins, Secretary of War, was
in the war of the Rebellion as n
member of the notorious Quantrells
band Of rebel guerrillas. They were
rebel outlaws, that murdered all pris-
oners captured in war, and that carried
the black flag. George Maddox, a for
mer police officer of Nevada, who serv-
ed with Quantrell during the war, has
this to say of the soldier life Of Stephen
b. Ekins:
ut was in Jackson county, jn June,
1862, that Stephen B. Elkins and his
brother Jim were with our command.
They came across from the other side
of the river, from Clay or Platt county,
with Gordon, and remained with rs un-
I'll the following winter. They were
not sworn into Quantrelps command,
but had been sworn into the service of
the Confederate States. They were,
however, under Quantrell's command,
and were subject to his orders all the
time that they remained on our side OF
the river. Steve was with US at Sibley
and participated in several fights that
we had during the summer. So far as
/ ever saw or heard he conducted him
self in battle like soldier should, und
you know Quantrells men all fought
to the death. They expected no quar-
ter and gave none. The black flag
floated in every battle where Quantrell
commanded. Steve Elkins left our
command in the Fail or winter Of 1862,
and went back over the river. l never
saw him again, but we heard after
wards that he had joined the Yankee
militia. OF course, we were all anx-
ious to see him after that. Had we
ever run across him some other man
would now be holding dowu a chair in
Harrison's Cabinet as Secretary of War.
My understanding was that after he
left us he went to Liberty, in Clay
county, and Joined company of mill
tia there. His brother Jim went on
South with us, and Joined the regular
Confederate service"
If Democratic President had ap-
pointed a rebel guerilla Sec'y of War
how all the g. o. p. patriots from Pc
nobscot to Alaska would howl.

A SPECIMEN CASE,

Wheelmen are obliged by the McKin.
ley law to pay much more for bicycles
than they are worth. An excellent blcy-
Gle can be bought in England for 500.
1t can be delivered here for lees than
$40, making the actual necessary cost
to an American user not more than so,
for the importers profit comes out of
the English price. Aud, If it were not
for the Mckinley law, everyone who
could afford an expenditure or $40
might own a bicycle.
But, when the wheel arrives, the Nc
Kinley law lays upon 1t tariff of 10
per centsto which the importer must
add his profit of at least 10 per cent,
making 80 per cent, and hts custom
house expense of say SO; q total Nc
Kinley item on a $50 wheel Of 1886. The
bottom price is thereby raised to SlO6.
1t needs no argument to show that
many people who could buy wheel for
$40 cannot afford to buy one for SlO6
Thus wheelmen are kept down In mum
bers and thousands OF Americans are
arbitrarily denied the benefits and en-
joyments OF bicycling.
In Justification 1t is urged that for
eign manufacturers have abandoned or
Will abandon all hope Of competing
here with American manufacturers,
and that they will build American fac
tories for supplying the American trade.
Well, will that cheaper bicycles to
American consumers? TO the extent
to which increased competitor operates
upon patent monopolies it may, but no
further. There will still be an element
of cost which consumers must pay that
under free trade would not exist. BIZ
cycles cannot be manufacted here as
cheaply as in England. This the
Protectionist will admit; but we
will say that the difference Is in
wages. English wages being less than
American wages. AS usual he Is
wrong. The labor cost of manutactur-
ing bicycles in England is less than the
labor cost here. 1t is restricted compe
tition, patent rights, and the higher
cost of materials that really make
American wheels dearer than English
wheels. Restricted competition would
be in some degree diminished by the
establishment of English factories here;
SO would the monopoly power of pat
ents. But the higher cost of materials
would not. And what makes the ma
terials higher? The tariff. So the
whole tariff system operates to fleece
the user of bicycles.
Bicycle organizations have done good
work, and they are proposing better in
the matter of improving roads.
But to the wheelmen, bicycles
are as important as roads. What do
there organizations purpose doing in
the way of making il possible to get
good bicycles for low prices? And the
American manufacturers, what have
they to say? ls the 40 per cent. tariff
on foreign wheels of sufficient advan-
tage to them over 1.-THE tariff on their
materials to make their advocacy of the
tariff system worth their while? Those
of them who make superior wheels
know that their wheels cost less in
labor and are better machines than the
English. How is their improved by q
tariff system that compels them to
maintain prices that are to multitudes
of people absolutely prohibitory.
