Money In 1t.

The Brooklyn Standard Union has
discovered two organ grinders IN New
York city who have saved $40 900 apiece,
and also that the average earnings of
the metropolitan organ grinder are 81 a
day. 1t is related that Mrs. A. T.
Stewart and the poet Longfellow were
in the habit of giving literally to the
hand-organ fraternity. The fact is not
Ofpublic interest save that it shows that
it is not necessary to understand elassi-
cal music in order to be a poet or a
philanthropist.
1t is pleasing to learn, however. that
the wOe-begOne countenance and the
dilapidated garments of the knight of
the crank are not due to poverty.
These might result from listening so un-
interruptedly and laboriously to the
strains OF his own music. We recall to
mind one organ-gr1nder whose ear was
so dull to the concord of sweet
sounds" that he could not hum or
whistle single one of the tunes that he
ground out, though he had used the
same old machine for five years. The
strains of his organ had no more music
| for him than the creakings of an un-
creased dray. He grew prematurely
old and gray, and finally fell and died
in commissions while turning his crank,

A BRACE OF PORK CHOPS.
The Murderer Ate Them and They Led t.
His Conviction.

| The Murderer Ate Them and They Led to
His Conviction.
Quite novelty in the annals of JUS
| tice, says Paris letter in the London
| Telegraph, has been the conviction of a
| murderer bv the tacit but effective tes-
| timOny of the remains of couple of
pork chops, which, gnawed to the
| bone, had been left on the table in
| the dining-room Of the unfortunate lady
whom he had just done to death.
At the end Of last year Madame
Leblau, the widow of a doctor in
practice in Tilly-sur-M euse, suddenly
| disappeared. She lived quite alone,
and her absence was not noticed bv the
neighbors for some days. The door of
| the house was broken open, and all the
| rooms were found in state of the ut
| most disorder, the floor of the kitchen
being covered with blood.
The plate and various other articles
of value had, however, not been
| touched, though several bank notes-a
list of which was afterwards discovered
in drawer-had been removed from
the desk in which the money was kept.
1t was soon ascertained that two of
these securities were in the possession
of a peasant named Aubertin, who re-
sided in the neighborhood, and was
known to be deeply IN debt, When
Aubertin was arrested he denied that
he had any hand in the crime, but it
shortly TRANSFERRED that on the very day
when the murder was committed he
had bought couple of pork chops from
local dealer, and there on the dining
room table lay the tell-tale debris.
Aubertin, in fact, had known before
hand that the sinister task which he
he haG set himself to do would demand
a certain amount of time in It's accom-
plishment. He had determined on
saving into pieces the corpse OF the
poor lady, and several hours were de-
voted to this horrible work. A few
days afterwards some frag of
flesh were found near the pier of one
Of the river bridges, and on the NOR
row the remains of body which had
been cut into several pieces were dis
covered in the Meuse. Aubertin has
Just been tried at the Meuse assizes
and condemned to hard labor for life.

TROUBLE AT HOMESTEAD.
Strikers and Negroes Engage in Lively
Battle.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Nov. 14.-Three
union men named McFadden, Jones
and Pritchard are probably fatally in
jured as a result of street row. The
three white men were walking along
the street when they met three colored
men. One Of the strikers said some
thing TO them and the negroes re-
piled, whereupon the striker knocked
one of them down. One of the cOlored
men, drew q revolver and commenced
blazing away into the crowd that had
collected. The coIored men then start
ed on a run for their home, pursued by
a bowling mob. When the negroes
reached their house they barred the
doors. The house was surrounded by q
crowd of infuriated strikers and every
window in the house smashed. There
were cries of "Hang them," and but for
the timely arrival of the sheriff and
his deputies, who marched them
to jail, the colcred men would
have been roughly handled. About
fifty coIored men, living at the other
end of the city, started towards the jail
to rescue their tellowmen, but were
quieted by the sheriff. Numerous per-
sons were injured by stones thrown at
the negroes during the chase. The
three strikers were arrested and will be
held for trial.
Quiet reigned at noon to-day, but the
feeling against the non-unionists
is becoming so bitter that further
bioodshed is feared. The strikers
attacked two men as they were
on their way to the mill this
morning, but the deputies interfered
ana arrested two of the of the assail-
ants, and they are now in Jail. Their
names are E. Wall and John Condor.
Sheriff McClarv is again on the ground,
and if necessary will increase his force
to maintain order.

at New Haven, Conn.
New HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 14.-Angelo
Petrillo was hanged in the New Haven
county Jail this forenoon. The drop
fell at 1O:4O o'clock. At 1866 the body
was cut down and life pronounced ex-
tinct by the surgeons in attendance.
Petriilo, previous to the murder, was
employed at Sargent's hardware manu-
factory, and was quite gambler in his
leisure hours. 1t was On account of a
loss of 5000 at monte, at which he was
an expert thrower, that led Petrillo to
kill his brother-in-law, Michael Demeo,
York professional gambler. The crime
was committed April IS, 1891. To-day's
hanging was the first in New Haven in
eleven years, the last being IN 1881,
when Chip Smith was executed.
