Murdered at Night.

TEXARKANA, Ark, Aug. 24.-The
particulars of a dastardly murder, which
was perpetrated Saturday night at Cam
erOn, a small village on the Cotton Belt
railway, fifteen miles north of here,
have just reached here. Bad blood has
existed for the past three years between
Paschali Frazier and a Long, and they
have have had frequent quarrels.
OK Saturday they had another dispute
during which Frazier made threats oi
of violence on Long. The latter went
home and at the usual hour retired
with his wife and children for the night
he, with his eldest child, occupying one
bed and the wife and two younger child,
req taking another bed in the same
room. At about IL O'Clock five shots
rang out. All the charges penetrated
the bedroom. One struck Mrs. Long
and went through her body causing
death in few hours.
At the inquest held Sunday enough
testimony was brought out to cause
warrants to be issued for Frazier as the
murderer and Coleman as an accom-
plice. The latter was arrested and says
that Frazier has fled but it is not thought
he can escape the officers who are look
ing for him.

Another Train Robbery.

KANSAS CRY, Aug. 21.-The Journals
report from Wichita, Kan, says: 1.-The
ST. Louis K San Francisco railroads pas
senger train which left here at 1880
O'Clock last night was held up, and the
Wells-Fargo express car robbed by four
masked men near Augusta, Butler
county, about midnight, and before =
O'Clock this morning the outlaws were
captured with a part of their booty. As
the train slowed up at the Santa Fe
croSSi ng about a mile east of Augusta,
two masked men mounted the lOcomo,
tive from either side, and covering
the engineer and fireman with guns or
dered them to stop the train The train
came to IA standstill and two members of
the robbers gang, who were in hiding,
started to uncouple the express car.
As soon rs this was done the engineer
was compelled to pull out with the car a
mile distant from the train. While two
of the highwaymen watched the locomo-
tive crew, the others went to the express
car door and demanded admittance, and
by way of emphasizing their demands
| commenced to shoot through the sides
of the car in which were Manager
Shift and baggageman. The I'M
| prioned men soon gave in. Shift was
forced to open the safe and the robbers
ransacked every ything, getting between
! 10 and 20 packages of money. The
amount of money secured cannot be as
certained, but it probably will not exceed
| IS, 600, as the train is made up at Bur
ton, only 20 miles west of here.
The robbery was committed by foul
farmers living in the vicinity of Doug
lass, Butler county, and, it seems, wa.
expected. Sheriff Nipp, of Colwe,
county, was informed that such scheme
was on foot, by the fifth memebr of thu
gang early in the week, and while h'
could not discover when the robbery wa
to take place he had a posse in waiting
AS soon as he got wind of the up-holC
he pounced on the outlaws.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 22.-Frank
Thompson, first vicepresident of the
Pennsylvania railroad in answer to in
quiries made by an Associated Press re-
porter stated that the published reports
of a probable change in the presidency
of the Pennsy lvania railroad were with
out the slightest foundation, and that
President Roberts had gone to Europe
for complete and needed rest after thir-
teen years of incesSant work and contin-
uous responsibility in his present position
at the headof the company. Mr.. Thorn
son further stated that he had reason to
know that the important foreign share
holders were satisfied with the present
management of the Pennsylvania rail
road

RECENTLY the Republican newspapers
had much to say about the fabulous
wages the striking Homestead workmen
had been receiving, and about their
owning homes. But, the truth, though
slow, has come out, 1t appears that of
the men employed at Homestead l3
averaged $3.50 a day, 40 between So
and 81, 45 between 81 and So. lily
averaged from 81 6S to So 90 day and
1925 received II cents an hour 81. 40
dayl or less. BY this it is seen that
the wages averaged only 81. so day for
all the men employed in the mills.
Moreover, less than % per cent. own
their own houses, and of these 90 per
cent. had their homes mortgaged when
the men were locked out

And this Was a Woman!

MoRRIsTowN, Aug. ga singular
instance of long continued silence on
the part of a person able in every way to
talk is recalled by the death on Saturday
of Mrs. Matilda Erney at Hatfield, this
county. She had not uttered word
for over IL years. Over IL years ago
she became mentally unbalanced, and
was taken to the Morristown state insane
asylum for treatment.
Shortly afterwsrd, without apparent
excuse or reason, she suddenly ceased
talking. Repeated attempts were made
to surprise her into speech or converse
ton by announcing interesting news
and wonderful intelligence, but no in
ducement was found sufficient to lead
her TO open her lips to speak a syllable.
and during all these years she maintain
ed an unbroken silence.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 22.-The Orien-

losses of life by a typhoon landslide, and
earthquake in Japan. The typhoon
ragged three days at Tokushima, and the
town was flooded. One hundred and
fifty drowned, 1000 houses swept away
and 200 submerged. Twenty-Five
thousand people are being fed by the
government. In Akaogun 800 people
were drowned and 5000 dwellings swept
away.
Landslips on a mountain side in Oto-
mura filled a river and converted val
ley into huge lake. No details have
been received, but as the people had no
warning many lives must have been
lost.
Near Tokushima a great fSsure
opened in the earth at the base of the
Hoil mountains, and swallowed up 16O
houses and 100 people. Rumbling
noises were heard for days before the
| disaster. The noises still continue and
the people have fled to the hills.
From Oduyamy come reports of terri

were submerged and 100 persons
drowned.

The Iron Age is a thoroughly LOYAL
servant of the protected interests OF
Pennsylvania. In its last issue it pre-
sents Il table of wages paid in the wire,
rod industry in order to show that the
operatives receive very high pay. In
doing so it is forced to give the labor
cost is a ton of rods. 1t is S195.
Wire rods are protected by duty of
six-tenths of a cent pound. This is
$l2 ton, or more than six times as
much as the whole cost of labor. The
duty is practically prohibitory, the inn
portstions of iron rod in 1891 being
valued at $92, 900 and of steel rods at
s65, 200.
On nearly every ton of wire rods pro-
duced in this country, therefore, the
American consumers pay bounty of
sbsnt xlg above the wholecost of lat Or.

Down to Three Cents.

PITTsBURG, Aug. "a. The river coal
operators have agreed to reduce the price
of mining from 81 to 8 cents. The
meeting of the coal exchange yesterday
brought out large attendance, and
with but several exceptions the opera
tors were unanimous in voting to ask
the reductions of the miners. Those in
the minority will abide by the decision
and also request the lowering of the
rate.
The chances for a strike among the
10000 operatives engaged in the river
mines in this district over the cut, which
will be inaugursted September /,
are about equal. Many of the operators
expect their men to go out, Others say
that the recent defeat of the railroad
miners and the justice of the demand
will deter them.

The navy department may find itself
the centre of a great scandal if it does
not satisfactorily explain why the style
of steel armor plates, now being fur
nished by the Bethlehem iron works
and the Carnegie concern, was changed
in way to save the contractors several
hundred thousand dollars without a cor
responding reduction being made in the
price paid the contractors. 1t is charged
that the change was made at Carnegie S
request, and experts say that it largely
deteriorates the defensive quality of the
armor. The acting secretary of the navy
attempts to explain it by saying that the
style of armor called for by the original
specification could not be made in this
country. That fact was very well known
when the contracts were made, but the
contractors agreed to put in plants to
make it. This they have not done. A
better explanation will have to be given
or Congress will have 10 investigate. 1t
is probable that considerable portion of
the illegal profits of this charge has al
ready found its way into the treasury OF
the national Republican committee.

Railroad Extension

Five hundred men viii be put to
work in the near future to extend the
line Of the Wisconsin Central railway
from Bessemer to Wakefield. This ex-
tension has been long contemplated
and expected and will be heartily
welcomed by the sprightly little vii
lage on Sunday Lake. The reason for
its construction at this time is that the
company desires to furnish an outlet
for the Comet mine about mile east
OF Wakefield which It controls. It will
take q large amount Of work and
considerable engineering skill to COM
plcte the line as the Black River valley
will have to be crossed and the surface
on the east side Of IL is very uneven
and IL will probably be late in the fall
before II is finished.
