A KILLING IN DENIsoN.
Gambler Jeffries Shoots Gambler Mills in q

Gambler Jeffries Shoots Gambler Mills in o
Denison Bagnio.
Special to The Statesman.
DENIsoN, Tex, Aug. 13.-Jack Mills,
we'll known gambler and tough was
shot and killed early this morning by
Warren Jef,ries, gambler, well
known in Fort Worth. The shooting
was the outcome of a quarrel. The
two men met in Madame Williams
bagnio last night and bard words
passed between them. Jeffries
slapped Mills face. The latter
went away and returned about
2 o'clock. Jeffries was then in
room with one of the inmates.
He was told that Mills had
returned, whereupon he grabbed a
pistol from dresser in another room,
put on woman's night shirt and
wont down stairs. He met Mills face
ia face and opened fire. The first shot
entered near the right lung, the Sec
ond missed. Mills ran a block or
Hore before he fell dead. Jeffries
ment back upstairs and slept until
trter six o'clock, at about which
WINE Mills body was found.
Jeffries was arrested at $40 by Officer
hackney. He was taken to the city
efil this afternoon. The examining
tial began in Judge Luitwiler's court.
One witness, named Neal, an in
mate of the bagnio, testified at length.
The case was continued to Tuesday
next. The defense Is that the killing
was done in self defense although
Mills was unarmed. Jeffries has a
wife and two children in ST..
Louis, but has not lived
with his wife for some time. Mills has
a sister and other relatives in Green
Vile.
There has been much suppressed
excitement here all day, as this is the
eighth killing since April, whereas
there were but three in the previous
three years. Public sentiment in
favor of closing all gambling houses,
bagnios and dives is strong and 1T is
believed will compel the officials to do
their duty.

THE FLAG OF VICTORY
IS. WHAT cARNEGIEs CLAIM FOR THE
ONE FL0ATED YESTERDAY.
They Claim to be Running at Homestead and
Duquesne Without Embarrassment-A
Non-Union Workman Badly Beaten.
Strikers Deny the Statements.

PITTsBURG, Aug. 10.-1he flag
raised at the upper union mills of the
Carnegie company yesterday, Super
intendent Dillon says, was foated as
an emblem of victory. Every train of
rolls in that plant is now in operation
on single turn, and before the end of
the week the mill will be or double
turn. The flag will be raised at Du-
quesne today, and Superintendent
Potter says he will also float it over
Homestead mills. About 700 men are
at the Union mill and nearly 14OO at
Homestead. At Duquesne it needs
only few n en- to put on double turn.
Preparations to provide permanent
houses for the Homestead men are
rapidly going on, and work has al
ready commenced on twenty-five of
the 100 houses to be erected for the
men on the company's property. 1t
is expected that at least fifty will be
built before cold weather, and the re-
mainder will be under way. This
new town will be built on the upper
part of the city farm property pur-
chased by the company.
ASSAULTED A WORKMAN.
PITTsBURG, Aug. 10.-John Reams,
non-union workman employed at
the upper Union mill, was assaulted
by two men while on his way to work
this morning and badly beaten. His
assailants were arrested and taken to
the station house where they were
recognized as Edward Simmer, strik-
er and Thomas Connors, former en-
ployee. Reams' injuries are painful
but not dangerous. This is the first
trouble since the beginning of the
strike at the Union mills. The as
sault caused considerable excitement
but Police superintendent O'Mara
does not fear any more trouble and
only the usual force of officers is on
duty at the mills.
NEW woRKMEN SECURED.
HOMESTEAD, Aug. 10. Honors
were easy here this morning. The
firm secured thirty-five new men to
take the places of those who deserted,
and two or three additional men. The
mill seems to be operating smoothly
in number of departments although
the locked-out men claim they have
undisputed evidence that the product
is very costly and poor in quality.
The firm ridicules this and states that
for several orders which have been
filled, letters have been received COM
plimenting them on the excellent con-
dition of the product.

portraits Of the late Messrs Stein and
Oesterrelcher, the main organizers OF the
congregation. Two massive marble tablets
are screwed TO the wall, on which are in
scribed the names of all the departed men,
bers. All designs pertaining to the interior
work were OF especial patterns and in keep
ing. with original Moorish effects. The car
pentry of the entire building was under the
supervision and control of A. w. Constan-
tine.
The most notable construction lies In the
formation of the roof, which has clear
span OF fifty feet with none of the con-
struction in view. This is paneled In natural
hardwood finish of Moorish design. The
two galleries, one of which contains the
large organ, are most artistically finished.
DR.. Levy has closely watched every stage
OF the work as it progressed. and, consider-
Ing the interest he displayed In every de-
tail OF the work while conducting the Inter
Ocean reporter through the building, 1t
would seem that the successful church
organizer Is also o competent material
builder.
In connection with the temple there he Is
conducting fourishiDg Kindergarten,
which is In session every forenoon from
to IL o'clock, with the Misses Sophie Levy,
Eva Norden, Minnie CABIN and Frances
Gulhman as instructors. A large Sunday
school Is also connected with this church,
where the jewish Catechism aud Biblical
history are the principal branches taught.
Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon
the gentlemen who have been foremost in
this undertaking. These are: Messrs. l. S.
Laurie, j. Weisen bach, Charles Klausner,
Charles Levy and number of prominent
West Side business men.

germ, perhaps at Antwerp, perhaps else
where, possibly in an English port, Will
have an opportunity of meeting the French
germ from Rayre. Ships from Hamburg
and ships from Havre are now anehoring
side by side in more than one port Of
Western Europe. What viii be the conse-
quences? What new development may be
anticipated from cross between the Paris
cholera micr0be and the lndo-Russlan Mi
crobe? What will happen when the poison
Of the Seine meets the poison OF the GangesP
We know something of both these MI
erobes. The comma bacillus, which has
travelled through Russia. seems TO bs the
orthodox cholera germ discovered by DR..
Koch in India. The comma bacillus found
in the objections and the intestines OF the
patients who have died in Paris and the
suburbs is a little different. Its tail is not
quite so long, the reaction it produces on
milk is not quite so rapid. OE the other
hand, il corresponds precisely with the
cholera microbo cultivated at the French
archaeological Institute of Saigon by DR..
Calmette. 1t may, therefore, be considered
as an Indo-Chinese germ, while the cholera
germ from Russia is apparently more like
the better known and purely Indian germ.
So far the effects of the one differ from
those of the other; but we are not yet able
to say whether this difference is merely
temporary, whether II arises from dsSimilar
sanitary and climatic conditions, or whether
il results from the fact that the microbes
are not absolutely alike. In any case. the
cholera has pot as yet spread so rapidly in
France as in Russia, but 1t is more fatal IN
France than in Russia.
If the French like to pretend that they
have not got cholera in their midst, all that
can be said in answer is that they have got
something very much worse that cholera.
The mortality in the neigbOThood of Paris
has been equal to nine out Of ten well-de-
fined cases. The cholera is not usually so
fatal as this. The more recent returns from
Havre seem to indicate some attenuation;
but at first, in many cases, the mortality in
Paris was nine out of ten, and death often
ensued after two to four hours illness. at
