BuscHoFF ACQUITTED.
The AntI-Scmitics Fail to Convict ths
jew Butcher.

jew Butcher.
BERLIN, July 27.-The long drawn
out prosecution of Buschoff, jew re-
siding at Cleves, and who was receEtly
accused of having murdered Chris.
tian boy for ritual purposes, has at
last come to an end, and the absurdity
of having brought tho charges against
the man is now apparent, even to the
most violent of the anti-Semitic party,
who are responsible for what has
turned out to be a disgraceful persecu-
ton of an innocent man. The dead
body of boy named Hegemnnn was
found in stable about two months
ago and it had peen mutilated in
way that suggested some anatomical
knowledge on the part OF the muir
dcrer. The discovery caused intense
excitement in the town, and suspicion
fell on the Jewish butcher Buschoff.
The case was taken up in the most
violent manner by the anti-Semitic
ngitators, who roundly alleged that
the boy had been murded in order that
his blood might be used for Jewish
ritual purposes. This charge was re-
peated IN pablic meetings, and in pam
phlets which were distributed broad
CuSG buSCuOll was uLLCSGou duu
brought to trial. and after prolonged
investigation he was released, the evil
dence against him being insufficient.
A month later after the popular agita-
tion had reached an extraordinary
pitch. he was rearrested, the police
having obtained fresh evidence, and he
was eventually sent for trial before q
jury. The proceedings were prolonged.
The number Of witnesses for the prose-
cution were ninety-nine, while eigh-
teen came forward for the defense.
Upon the prisoner being called upon by
the judge to say whether lie was guilty
or not. Buschof declared in the most
emphatic terms that he was guiltless
OF the crime imputed to him. The pre-
siding Judge in opening tho proceed
ings pointed out to tho jury that the
sole motive put forward in the indict-
ment was that I,uschoH desired to take
revenge on the boy because he had
damaged some Jewish graves:onea
The evidence brought forward by the
prosecution was of so fi,nsy charac-
ter that the jury, although containing
several who are known to be in sym
pnthy with the anti-Semitic party, was
obliged to acquit the prisoner.

MONTREAL, Que. July 27.-The beet
sugar industry in the Province OF
Quebec has received bad blow
from tho failure OF the West
Farnhnm Beet Sugar company, with
liabilities of 100000 and assets Of only
50, 1000 The company was understood
to be composed of syndicate Of
wealthy French capitalists, among
them the Haron de Sclliere The cap
itnl of their syndicate was placed ut
81, 600, 900. The business was managed
by Alfred Muscy, who received SAL
ary of $4,000 n year. Baron de
Selliere, however, cnme out to-
Canada and took an active interest In
the concern during last year. He is
credited with drawing So, 900 profit out
of the business The baron left Can
ada last year and went to New York,
where lie married Mrs Livermore
Since then he has been residing with
his wife in Paris and has taken little
interest in the concern, with the re-
suit that it has gone to the wall. The
creditors have since learned that the
French capitalists who were inter
ested in the venture not being regis
tered here are not responsible for any
OF the liabilities, and that only Masey

Friendly Advances.

Friendly Advances.
WASHINGTON, July 27.-AIiss Phoebe
Couzins is still in Washington watch
ing proceedings in regard to the ap-
preparation for the Colombian exposi-
tion. While Miss Couzins will say
very little herself, it is understood that
somo important concessions have been
made to her lately by the management
of the exposition. About the time she
withdrew from the secretaryship she
contracted printing bill of some 5000
or S40o with St Louis printing firm
for exposition work. Tho treasurer
refused payment on the bill at
the time. but it is learned that recently
the board ordered the bill paid. 1t is
also understood that advances have
been made to Miss Couzins by repre-
sentatives of the management looking
to an amicable settlement of all exist
ing differences. The nature of tho
proposition is understood to be this:
Miss Couzins is to receive her salary us
secretary down to the present time.
and In return is to stop oil proceedings
against the exposition company. 1t is
evident that she has not been in Wash
ington in vain, and has not sat in the
gallery as often as there were pros
poets of the subsidy clause coming to a
debntc, without making the ominous
impression upon the friends OF the
measure that her presence here at this
critical juncture was not inspired by
idle interest in the welfare of the
Chicago corporation.

New YORK, July 27.-A new tele-
phone company has been formed, which
makes every subscriber his own "cen-
trail" and gives him a private as we'll
as general line. This company is
called the Stroeger Automatic Tele-
phone exchange, and was organized in
Chicago last October with fully paid
up capital, according to President NJ.
A. Meyer, Of IS, 600, 900, ind it has Just
opened n New York office at tho corner
OF Grand street and Broadway, and
will try to get franchise from
the city. A franchise has been Sc.
cured from the city of LaPorte,
Ind, and plant will bo in
working order there in fortnight
The company will charge but s4s
IL year for its service, against SIS
charged by the Bell company there
now, and will give the service free un-
til :.ext March, when the seventeen
years monopoly on the present tele-
phone expires. If they secure foot
ing in this city they will give free
service until that dats and charge
after that between 500 and $40
year, against the existing rate OF s240.
Patents have been secured in every
country of the world where telephones
are used, and the company has bought
matte switches, sixty-fve in oil, that
Some interested people were afforded
an opportunity of putting the scheme
devised by the inventor of the system
to practical test ut the Of
fee of the company. The system is
entirely automatic In the demonstra-
tions the ordinary Bell telephone was
used without being altered in any re-
spect, the Stroeger machine taking the
place of the human operator at the
switchboard and the connections of
the telephone being made automatic

pie device, the telephone shelf contain

then turned to grapple with his u.s.

heard two more shots fred.
After the shooting the man made a
bound into tho elevator car which was
standing with the door open at the

presence of mind to hold him in
the car until the arrival OF

arrest. In the meanwhile on immense
crowd had begun to gather in the

with their prisoner, who was pale and
trembling, there were hundreds OF
