uscript books Of ancient days was far
beyond the understanding of the men Of
the present day who possess all the
modern adjuncSs to that art. As these
books were intended to last for many
years, answering the same purpose as
our printed tones, the great desideratum
in their preparation was durability. AS
o natural consequence, those who made
them not only selected the best quality
of parchment or other material to write
upon, but also paid particular attention
to the quality of the ink used in such
work.

The personnel of the ticket
nominated is good, but it is not
one calculated to ALLEVIATE many
votes from the Farmers Movement.
If the Convention had headed it's
ticket with strong farmer and

a better chance of dividing the
farmer vote. AS it is yon will find
that the farmers are going to stand
as solidly together as they did two

conservative to suit the extreme

of Gen. Ignacio Martinez. Martinez
was bitter political opponent of
the Diaz government. and was exiled from
Mexico. About six months ago he was as
sassinated in the dark on the streets of

MINERS CAUSE BLO0DSHED.


WEST NEWTON, Pa. Jan. SL-A riot oc-

near here, last night. in which two men
were fatally wounded and another was so
badly hurt that he will loseahis leg. A
dozen others were slightly injured. Smith
ton is in the center of q large mining dis
trict and in it is the only licensed saloon
for many miles. Last night q score or
more italian and negro miners assembled at
the saloon and soon all were under the
influence of liquor. A fight was started,
but the participants were elected and the
doors closed. AS soon as they were out
side the negroes opened fire on the Italians.
and riot ensued. The fight lasted twenty
minutes, during which revolvers, knives
and razors were used with terrible effect.
When it had been quelled three men were
lying on the ground and blood was flowing
from the wounds of half score Of others.
Those seriously injured were:
Charles Rienzi, Italian miner. shot in the head
and groin; will die before morning.
Lewis Anderson, an American, shot through
the neck; recovery not expected. He was not o
participant and was hit by stray bullet
Thomas Newport. another bystander. shot In

necessitating amputatiOn.
The nature of the injuries of the others
Is not known as the participants hurried
their wounded off, The negroes fed after
the fight. and were pursued by posse OF
fifty citizens, who captured four of them at
WhItsett station. They were packing their
goods preparatory to leaving the country.
The four prisoners were given prelimI-
nary hearinR this forenoon before Squire
Smith and locked up to await the result of
the injuries of the wounded. Indignation
against the negroes runs high as the as
sault on the Italians was unprovoked.

SPRINGFIELD, o.. Jan. 31.-O. S. Kelly,

facturer of this city, who has obtained con-
troll of tho patents covering all electric
street railways In which the cur
rent is supplied by an overhead
wire. will at once proceed to collect
royalties from the electric street-railway
companies using that system. Nine years
ago Charles Green, of Kalamazoo, Mich,
invented an electric street-railway. He
tried to get patent ON it, but failed
though technicalities, and patents covering
the ground of his invention were granted
to others and began to come into almost
general use. Green saw he would be pow
erless to cope with the great monopolists
who were using his invention and sold his
claims to Mr.. Kelly, who has pushed
the claims to successful termination
in q legal battle lasting nine years.
By q recent decision of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia, Green's
claims are sustained. giving Kelly control
of the basic patent on the electric street.

DIDN'T WANT PRAYERS.
The Mitchell Ward Murder Made the Subject

much as crowds of people. from 10 o'clock
until 4, crushed through the corridors
eager to see the young women charged
with murder. At an early hour Presby-
terian preacher went to Miss Mitchelps
room and asked to pray for her. but she IN
dicated that she did not put much faith in
the efficacy of prayer. Miss Johnson being
q Catholic, the preachers offer to pray in
her behalf wEs respectfully declined. The
crime was made the theme of sermon by
one of the local ministers. Other divines
referred to 1T during their morning ser
mons. In the afternoon an evangelist
went to the Jail and preached to the prls-
oners almost In earshot of the young ladies'
referring to Miss Mitchell as an awful ex-
ample of what false ideas of right and
wrong would drive people to do.
The State and the lawyers for Miss Mitch
ell hold opposite opinions as to the cause
for the commission of the crime. The At
torney-general will attempt to show that
Alice Mitchell either XII led Freda Ward to
avenge herself on Miss Wards sister, Mrs.
Ealkmar, OF that there had been q misun-
derstandlng between the slayer and her
victim. and that Miss Mitchell. moved by
hate, killed her. One of the theories of
the State is that there is man in the case.
The Attorney general will prove her love
for flirting by the recitation of several of
her escapades, the principal of which is
her meeting several young men in an out
of-the-way part of the city. The State has
several detectives at work. and they have
already unearthed some damaging facts.
One of these is that when Miss Mitchell
slew Freda Ward man was seen following
Misses Mitchell and johnson in a buggy.
When Alice Mitchell leaped into the buggy
after the commission Of tho crime this
man drove rapidly away. On the folio win g
morning he left the city and has been
traced to New Orleans. 1t Is thought that
it was he to whom Miss Mitchell. on Sun

Mitchell will at once put In plea of in
sanity. If Miss Mitchell be sent to the
asylum then Miss johnson will have to fight
for her life alone. This afternoon Miss
johnson said Miss Mitchell kept her in
ignorance as to her intentions, and when
she left the buggy to cut the Ward girls
throat she informed her that she intended
to once more kiss Freda goodbye.
There is young lawyer here who says
that some time ago he received letter
from young lady inclosing fee and ask
ing him If under the common law one
woman might marry another. He was d.
rected to mail his reply TO certain post.

after the tragedy discovered that his client
