COOKS ON STRIKE.
Non-Union Men at Homestead
Without Their Summers.

without Their SupperS.
HOMESTEAD, Aug. 1O.-Seventy-two
cooks and walters came from the Car
negie steel works this evening. AS they
marched down Eighth avenue
the deserters were cheered by
the strikers, their wives and
children. The trouble began in
the mill this morning, when j. A. Ray
burn. who entered contract with the
company several weeks ago to furnish
meals for 800 men, became involved in
dispute with another contractor in the
same line OF business. Supt. Potter
was called upon to act as arbitrator.
He decided against Ravburn.
whereupon the latter decided to
throw up his contract. While making
out his accounts in the dining hall, Ray
burn was waited on by five members of
the Carnegie special police force, under
command of Capt. Newton. The latter
ordered Rayburn to leave the place. but
he refused to comply; The officers
then placed him under arrest and
conducted him to a little brick
building on the river bank where they
locked him up. He was kept prisoner
for over two hours. In the meantime
seventy-twO walters and cooks employed
by Rayburn, learning what had taken
place. quit work and marched out.
After paying off his men Rayburn
went to Rankin. where he preferred
charges before Squire Glunt against
Special Officers Newton, Powers, Smith
and two others for assault and battery
and false arrest. Constables Stewart
and Gingher soon had the five specials
under arrest. Une of them was permit
ted to depart after promising to appear
for hearing tomorrow morning. The
other four were taken before Squire
Glunt, given a preliminary hearing,
and in default of bail were committed
to the Plttsburg Jail.
Tonight the strikers are jubilant, be-
ing under the impression that the de-
parture Of SO many cooks and walters
will be serious blow to the company.
Supt. Potter says the places of the men
who left To-Day can be filled inside of
twenty-four hours.
Nearly hundred new men, the great
Ell part of them being>machinists and
practical steel workers, came to the
works today. Inside the mill tonight
everything seems to be running
smoothly, and Supt. Potter reiterates
the statement that, so far as the firm is
concerned, the strike is thing of the
past.

MANKATo. Minn., Aug. 10.-One of
The most horrible crimes ever commit
ted in Blue Earth county occurred at
Eagle Lake. six miles east of here, last
evening. Mrs. Martha Kester, twen-
:y-siX years of age, and residing with
her father, Eric Wirshing, went to her
listers house, near there, Satur-
lay, and secured some rat poi
son, saying that she wished to
get rid of the rats and mice about the
premises. She at once prepared some

The rest of the family, went visiting to

but did not die until Monday afternoon.
Nothing unusual was thought of the
death until Tuesday afternoon when
the funeral was being held in the church,
when it was intimated that the infant
had been poisoned. The constable in
terfered with the proceedings, but made
no arrests. Later in the evening
took her little three-year-old boy
and carried him to very deep well in
vacant lot and threw him in. She re-
manned there until she saw that he was
under water, and then returned to the
house and told what she had done. A
crowd gathered about the well, but the
Little Fellow Was Dead
before he could be rescued. Coroner
Shoemaker, DR.. g. f. Warner and
County Attorney Hughes, of this city.
were sent fer this morning and went to
the scene of the tragedy. Mrs. KeSter
came to her fathers home last April
from Milwaukee, where her husband
still resides. She says she had received
cruel and inhuman treatment from her
husband, and left him because he had
threatened her life. This double murder
had been planned and premeditated for
several months. She says she would
have drowned the little boy before leav-
ing Milwaukee. but did not like to do so
from the fact that she was in delicate
condition. She tells the whole story
herself. and expresses relief that they
are out of this world of trouble. The
only time the woman showed any signs
Of grief was when talking about her
husbands abusive treatment. when she
burst into tears. Kester is stonecutter,
but is said to have compelled his wife to
work out to support herself.
Sheriff Glynn brought the murderess
to this city at 10 o'clock tonight and
placed her in the county Jail. The time
for the examination is not set yet, but
will probably be tomorrow or Friday.

STOCKMEN RELEASED.
Each Of Them Gives a Bail Bond
in $4,000.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Aug. 10.-Judge
Scott decided today to accept bail from
the stockmen for the reason that Sheriff
Kelly absolutely refused to pay the ex-
pense longer CT holding them. He
notified the prisoners last night that
after breakfast this morning he would
no longer feed them or guard them.
consequently Judge Scott decided that
they should be bailed in $4,000 each for
their appearance OIL the 22d, the time
set for trial to commence. A bond was
prepared, which each prisoner signed
separately in the sum Of $4,000, which
virtually allows them to 60 on their own
recognizance. This was great relief
to all parties, as it means few months
less imprisonment. There were forty
two of the prisoners thus released.

Smokeless powders are rapidly securing

his ram and see torpedoes in stime to avoid
them. Such powders are made in q curious
shape, being turned out in the form Of sheets
rolled like maps, which are cut first into long
square strips and finally into little cubes. The
very latest thing in the way Of . defensive
armor is layer of cocoanut fiber and granu-
lated cocoanut husks inside the outer skin of a
vessel. Danish cruiser, the Hekla, was
fixed up in this manner and O big shot was
fired clean through her below the water line.

over Notifications and cities and reduce them
to ruins by dropping explosives, there will be
nothing for the human race to do but to abandon
for good the great and noble institution called
