Somerby, of tho Iron Hall, Makes Some
Damaging Admissions.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 13.-Supreme
Justice Somerby was on the stand in
the Iron Hall receivership case, Friday.
The testimony elected was strong
enough to lead the plaintiffs to believe
that a receiver will be appoint ed
Somerby, although having supreme
authority, admitted that he had never
given bond until this suit was brought,
and then only in the sum of $1,000, with
a Detroit undertaken as security. This
bond has not been approved and is not
in force.
Supreme Cashier Davis is under $780,
900 bond, the witness said, but one of
the sureties is dead. Somerby admitted
that the time for which the supreme sit
ting and officers had been elected two
years., had expired.
He could point out no authority for
the present body to exist, except Sec
tion authorizing special call of the
sitting.
The witness did not know where any
of the orders reserve funds, except
SO, 600 in this city, had been invested as
required by the constitution. Ac-
countant Davis had some transactions
involving some $4,000, but Somerby
did not know how this money was in

Hair cut?" queried the knight of

reached for pair of scissors
l answered affirmatively, but with
some little uneasiness. for these shears
were vast and murderous-loolling weap-
ons, which appeared as if they were
ordinarily employed in cutting sheet
iron instead of mems hair.
The barber went through many prep
arations which gave me chance to
observe that his dog, wiry-loolIing
little bull-terrier, with singular droop
in his left eye and vicious expression
about his cropped ears, was eyeing me
intently from Il point little to one
side of me on the floor.
The barber at last set to work at my
back hair very deliberately. The bull.
terrier still eyed me as cat watches u
mouse, now tipping his head tritlc ON
one side, now on the other.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. H. "A morn,

the effect that the police have discov'
cred another plot to assassinate II. G.
Frick. The name of the supposed in

with Bergman and Emma Goldman.
The information was given by Vice

Secretary Lowell, of New York, has
been informed by letter that he has but
few days to live. Hugh O'Donnell,
chairman of the advisory committee, re-
turned to Homestead Thursday from
his trip through Canada and the north
ern states. He was greeted with some
cordialitv by the locked-out men, but
his appearance did not create u furore.
Mr.. O'Donnell stopped at Toronto, New
York, Boston and other New England
cities.
There are many who think that the
settlement of the strike may lead TO a
reopening of conference. The Carnegie
Co. is said to be affected both ways by
the settlement, and that the benefits OF
it are equaled by the disadvantages.
The advisory committee adjourned al

THE PAPER AGE.
The Days of Brass and Iron Passing and
New Era Dawnlng.

The Days of Brass and Iron Passing and
New Era Dawnlng.
The world has seen its iron age and
its brazen age, but this is the age OF
paper. We are making so many things
of paper that it will soon be true that
without paper there is nothing made.
We live in paper houses, wear paper
clothing, and sit on paper cushions in
paper cars rolling on paper wheels. If
we lived in Bergen, Norway, we could
go on Sundays to a paper church. We
do paper business over paper counters,
buying paper goods paying for them
with paper money and deal in paper
stocks on paper margins. We row
races in paper boats for paper prizes
We go to paper theaters where paper
actors play to paper audiences. AS the
age develops the coming man will be-
come more deeply enmeshed in the
paper net. He will awake in the morn
ing and creep from under the paper
clothing of his paper bed and put on his
paper dressing gown and his paper slip
pers He will walk over paper carpets,
down paper stairs and, seating himself
in paper chair, will read the paper
news in the morning paper A paper
bell will call him to his breakfast,
cooked in paper oven, served on paper
dishes laid on paper cloth on Il paper
table. He will wipe his lips with IL
paper napkin, and having put on
his paper shoes, paper hat and paper
coat, and then taking his paplc

pavement or ride in paper carriage to
his paper office. He will organize paper
enterprises and make paper profits. He
will sail the ocean on paper steamships
and navigate the air in paper balloons.
He will smoke a paper cigar or paper
tobacco in a paper pipe, lighted with a
paper match. He will write with a
paper pencil, whittle paper sticks with
paper knife, go fishing with paper
fishing rod a paper line and paper
hook, and put his catch in paper
basket. He will go shooting with a
paper gun, loaded with paper cart
ridges, and will defend his country in
paper forts with paper cannon and
paper bombs. Having lived his paper
life and achieved a paper fame and
paper wealth he will retire TO paper
leisure and die in paper peace. There
will be paper funeral, at which the
mourners, dressed in paper Grape, will
wipe their eyes with paper handlSer-
chiefs, and the preacher will preach in
a paper pulpit. He will lie in "A paper

be seen that he has chance of doing

One of the Men who Was Hired as
''watchman" to Go to Homestead Wants
$4,000 Damages.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 12.-The first
suit in the local courts growing out of
the riot at Homestead on the 9th of last
July, was begun Thursday in common
pleas court by VIM. r. Lelar, against
Robert A. Pinkerton and VIM. A Pink
erton, trading as Pinkertons' National
Detective agency.
In his statement of claim Mr.. Lelar
says that he was employed by the Pink
ertons to act as watchman at GER
tain buildings in the state of New
York, to which the defendants "then
and there falsely and deceitfully pre-
tended to be conducting the plaintiff,
but the precise location of which the
plaintiff was not informed by the Pink
ertons."
Then follows the account of the Pink
erton's fight with the rioters from the
barges at Homestead on the 9th of July.
Mr.. Lelar says that he fell into the
hands of the mob, was kicked and
beaten with clubs, sticks and stones
and seriously injured. AS the result of
Mr. Lelar being forced to run the gaunt-
let through the mob, one of his vital or
gans was permanently injured, and he
will be prevented from permanently
undertaking the severe manual labor
to which he has been accustomed and
for which he is only fitted as means of
livelihood. Twenty Thousand dollars
damages are claimed.

Magic Maze of Mirrors.

The Magic maze, a maze of mirrors, is
the latest novelty at the horticultural
exhibition in London. The visitor en-
ters the maze by crooked passage,
walled entirely hy mirrors, into the
central hall, toward which number of
seemingly endless avenues appear to
converge. Reproductions of the visitor
are presented at every imaginable point
and angle, A figure stanGs at the en-
trance to the hall and 6eekons with
uplifted hand, and the reproductions
show the figure in n hundred different
places at once. The bewildered visitors
walk about in cautious, half-scared
way, running into their own ref ections
and looking with distrust on every
one who approaches, unable TO tell
substance from shadow. The space oc-
cupied by the maze is only forty feet by
thirty feet, but the arrangement OF
mirrors gives it the appearaHtc ct Getng

CRIME AT LOUISVILLE.
Head Crushed and Other Marks on
a Young Woman's Corpse,
Taken From the Ohio River Opposite
That City-The woman Probably MUIR
derod and the Body Hurled Into
tho Rapids of the Fails.

LOUISVILLE, KY. Aug. 13.-Marks of
a double crime have been found on the
body of the woman washed ashore at
Willow Point, Ind, opposite this city,
and identified as the remains of Mary
Lengel, n former chambermaid of Eek
ert's hotel, this city. The original the
ory was sucide. After the police and
detective departments of the two cities
had dropped the case a reporter found
the woman had been outraged and muir
dered by two men.
Four boys, Walter Farrell, James Nor.
rison. Chas. Hcltzatch and Wilbur
Smith, saw two men drag woman
through Hyde Park q suburb of Jeffer-
sonville, late Saturday night, outrage
her near the river bank, beat her and
then drag her to the bar below the
Pennsylvania bridge, where they left
the woman screaming, as blows were
rained down on her head. One of the
men wore a dark, stubby beard. a
derby hat, black coat and vest and a
light pair of trousers. The boys
were so frightened that they were
afraid to talk until last night, when
one of them recognized a picture of the
dead woman in a daily papTr as being
that of the woman they had seen in the
hands of the two men. A trip to tho
river shows evidence of desperate
struggle, and the woman's fan was
found there. The men probably killed
the woman and then hurled the body
into the rapids of the falls. The head
was crushed in, and this is thought tc
have been caused by the body striking

New BRUNSWICK, N. j., Aug 12.-An
epidemic prevails at Helmetta, near
New Brunswick, which has already
claimed 90 victims. More than so peo-
pie have been stricken. Physicians are
puzzled over the peculiar character of
the disease, which is much like dysen-
terry, but far more severe, and many
fear that it is cholera, as there are
many Russians employed in the fac
tories there. The disease has spread to
Spottswood, a village few miles from
Helmetta, where a number of people
who work in Helmetta live. Several
people are i'll at that place, though none
have died,
