 They chopped off his fingers with an axe, but he still refused to tell. Then they brained him and turned their atten- tion to Mrs. Rubinstein. She protested that she knew nothing as to the where abouts of the money
 They did not believe her and, after tor turing her also to no purpose, cut her throat.
 The youngest daughter was killed in the same way, and three boys of 3, and 5 years each, who had begun to cry, were dashed against the wall until dead. The eldest daughter was hung up by her feet until she told where her father had kept his money.
 The burglars found about 800 roubles in the chimney to which she directed them. To prevent all chance of discovery they eventually stabbed her in the breast and left her for dead.

is pleasant faced woman. Her work here is jointly with the Rev. J. l.. An drews, a Uniyersalist minister of Ale gheny.
 Yesterday the two called on Secretary Lovejoy, of the Carnegie Company, ex- plained their mission, and gave him a list of rules employed in the settlement of the difficulty between the Reading railroad and it's employees, saying they would per tinently fit the trouble.
 The rules are called the "Bill of Rights.
 Mir. Loyejoy told Rev. Mrs. Deyo that his company had nothing to arbitrate. Afterward the lady went to Homestead and was courteously received by the strike committee. ~
 Mrs. Deyo will call on Chairman Prick. She will ask the aid of Bishop Pheland and the Protestant clergy in her work. A public meeting will probably be called in this city.
 The a. m. bulletin issued by the sur geon in attendance upon Mir. H. c. Prick reports the patient as having passed a very comfortable night. His sleep was unbroken and he is apparently in an i'm proved condition this morning with the pulse and respiration normal.

Grover Cleveland
 and the Women.

Mrs Mary Frost Ormsby of New York, with many other well-meaning women, formed political club lately and named it the 'SFrances Cleveland Influence Club. !" She wrote letter to Mrs Cleveland in forming her of this fact, and the letter was full of patriotic sentiment. Mrs Cleveland handed the letter over to her lord and master, and he answered it, say ing that he could not approve of the use of Mrs Cleveland's name for political work. as the name of wife and mother ia too sacred. We think that MT Cleve- land could afford to let these women Ego as they please" They did not ask for his approval, and he needs all the influence he can get. MT Cleveland ought to re- member he only represents certain ideas that are in the public mind, and his per sonal likes and dislikes are of minor ims portance. He has often told us that the functions of government should be con- sidered sacred. If so, we can tell him that it will require the refining process of woman's influence to make 1t sacred. Men have gone it alone thus far, and there is nothing to-day much more degrading than politics; and the corruption fund is grow ing larger all the time. We thlnk mat MT. Cleveland ought to feel honored in having, as Mrs. Ormsby expresses it, the mothers, wives, daughters and sisters of New York democrats enlisted in his cause.

HELD FOR MURDER.
Bail Refused for CritchIow, One of the
 Homestead Workers.

Bail Refused for CritchIow, One of the
 Homestead Workers.
 PITTsBURG, July 29.-"Any man who stood by and saw men shoot and did not try to stop it is equally guilty with those who shot," This bitter sentence fell from Judge Magee's lips like a thunderbolt in Criminal Court when Sylvester Critchlow, a Homestead rioter, was refused bail on the charge of murder.
 This is the first case in which the com monwealth succeeded in raising the pre- sumption of murder in the first degree against any of the Homestead rioters. The result was 8 complete surprise to every one.
 The most important testimony evolved against Critchlow was that of employees of the Carnegie firm. It was shown by clerks that on July 6, about 8:30 o'clock, river with gun on his shoulder. Samuel Stewart swore that he saw the prisoner behind the iron barricade, whence he loaded and fired his gun. T. J. Connors, for whose murder Critchlow was arrested, was shown to have met his death at Il 80 a. m. Judge Magee said:
 "This is a very different case from O'Donnell's. Here you have a man with a gun who stood behind a barricade and fired a gun, and a man is killed in front of the barricade. I think did no harm in permitting O'Donnell and Ross to go on bail. It has taught them lesson. Here is @ case where 1 am very much disin- clined to take bail. When you get men with guns on their shoulders, shooting from behind barricades and men are killed, 1t comes close to murder in the first degree. MT. O'Donnell's policy all the time was for peace. This mans case was all the time for war and bloodshed.
 This decision completely crushed the tall, slender, fush-faced prisoner, who tottered to jail without one word either to counsel or friends.
