A GREWSOME ART.
The Strange Revelation Made by
Floating Corpse.
Tattooed Human Skin In Great Demand
n Curio-Good Prices Paid FOR
It by Merchants In
the Orient.

The finding Of an unknown man float
ing in the Delaware river at Philadel-
phla finally led to the discovery of q
most grewsome trade practiced by one
OF the discoverers Of the body. The
dead man, says an exchange of that
city, bore upon his arm some perfect
specimens of the tattooer's art, and
jacob Zizrachi, Syrian, who assisted
in the recovery of the body, applied for
that portion of the cuticle of the left
arm which bore IN admirable repre-
scntation of the crucifixion. In the
representation of this piece of work the
artist showed a master hand. Every
detail was perfect.
This was what most attracted the
attention of Zizrachi, and he begged
and pleaded with the keeper of the
morgue to give him the strip of
cuticle covered by the picture He even
offered ten dollars for it, and when told
that he could not have it without an
order from the coroner he storncd and
raved, declaring it to be rightfully his,
anyway, because he had assisted in the
recovery of the body. The keeper
finally told him to call at the morgue
again, and that he would in the mean
time speak to the coroner in regard to
the matter "y
He being piled with questions as to
what he intended to do with the strip
OF tattooed cuticle after he got it,
Eizrachi said that in Morocco, where he
hal passed the greater part of his life,
there were many dealers in curios who
would give him from ten to one hun
drcd dollars for such things, according
to the artistic finish of the picture. He
had made hundreds of dollars by trad
ing with these merchants, and had
learned the secret of properly prepar-
ing the skin for framing.
The cuticle is first carefully dried and
tanned and is then treated with a pc
culiar solution of poisonous drugs,
which has the effect of bringing into
bold relief the pigment used in the
tattooing. 1t is aftcrwnrd pressed be-
tween two plates of glass and is al
lowed to stand for a month or so, after
Which it is framed and placed on sale.
Many prominent citizens of the larger
cities of the orient, the Syrian stated,
had the walls Of their houses decorated
with these objects.
In some parts of Arabia, according to
his statement, the sheil1s of certain
tribes always had their own portrait,
tattoocd upon their backs. After the
denth of one them the cuticle bearing
the portrait was carefully cut away
AMI prepared according to the usual
process and revcrently carried from
place to place by the bercaved tribe.
ziarichi said that the picture on the
arm of the drowned Elan at thE morgue
would be worth fifty to sixty dollars to
him

 VIENNA, Nov. 11.-A mill collapsed in Oprau, Moravia, yesterday, shortly before the hands were to leave for the night. Almost 200 men were in the building at the time.
 When the walls began to crack the men in the basement and on the ground floor ran out.
 The men and girls above started down stairs. In the panic the stairway col, lapsed, and before anybody could strug- gle out of the ruins the whole buildin g came down.
 About 50 persons were caught in the bricks and broken timber. Several were rescued, but it is supposed that 35 or 40 were killed.
 The dead bodies of 20 have been re- moved and the debris will undoubtedly re- veal many more.
 Fifty men are at work clearing away the ruins.
 The mill was himsily built, and the op- eration of heavy machinery on the second floor is believed to have caused the col lapse. The police are looking for the builder, and will arrest him.

 Series of Crimes.
 ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 11.-The Kouli- kovski family, after several days trial in Lomza, Russian Poland, have been sen fenced to penal servtude for terms vary tny between 15 and 20 years for murder ing and robbing Russian emigrants.
 The two sons, who executed the plans made by their wives and father, lived near MoEki, a frontier village. They had picked up sa precarious living by questionable means since leaving the Russian army.
 Last winter they began turing emi- grants they met on the roads to their home, and there arranging to lead them over the border into Prussia by routes not watched by the frontier guard
 Only emigrants with considerable bag gage were treated thus In the evenings the younger brother would take the emi- grants into a dense forest where the elder brother waited for the party. Then the two brothers set upon the emigrants, and beat out their brains with clubs.
 The bodies were buried under leaves and thin covering of dirt, and the bag gage was taken to the home of the Kouli kovski family, to be sold later in the city near by.
 The bodies of ten persons murdered in this way were found in the forest by the police. Others are supposed to be still there.
 The eleventh known victim was a mau who sought shelter with the family from storm. He was scalded to death by the wife of the younger brother.

Died of Nervous Exhaustion SuperInduced
 by Fear-Wns He Guilty?
 ALLENTOWN, Pa, Nov. 11.-William F. keck, the murderer, who was to have been hanged at noon, was found dead in his cell here yesterday morning. Every thing was ready for the hanging.
 The doctors who made the post-mortem examination found no traces of poison and swore that death was caused by nerv- ous exhaustion.
 A coroner's jury was impaneled, and after hearing other witnesses, including prison officials, returned the following verdict:
 "That William F. Keck came to his death at Lehigh County prison, Allen town, Lehigh county; that the cause of death was nervous prostration superin- duced by the fear and terror of execution imminent"
 The crime for which Neck was to have made eXpiation was the murder of Wm Nipch, aged 73, and his wife, Jeannette aged G9, at Smoketown, nine miles north of Allentown, on the afternoon of W ed nesday, Nov. Is, 1891. Neck and the Nipches were intimate and neighbors, occupying old shanties on the banks of an abandoned iron mine. HARRISBURG, Nov. 11.-Robert F. Wright, of Allentown, counsel for Neck the murderer, came to Harrisburg Wed nesday night with recently discovered testimony to ask reprieve for the priS- oner. Before he could see the Governor yesterday morning he received a tele gran stating that Neck had died in his cell from heart disease. Mir. Wright be- lieves he was innocent.

PROFESSOR NIRCHow, who has just assumed the rectorship of the Berlin university, evidently believes in scien- tific rather than classical studies for young men. In a recent address he said: "Grammatic schooling is no longer the aid to progressive development necessary to our youth, or which generates the love of learning that is the first condition to independent de- velopment; there are now other fields of learning whose methods are so fa1 carried out that they are perfectly able to fulfil what is necessary; there are mathematics, philosophy and the natu. ral sciences; they afford the young mind such a secure foundation that ii can easily make itself at home in any faculty. On the development of these three sciences rests the whole of ouI western culture, a culture whict ripened a Christopher Columbus, tc whose genius and energy allow me tc pay deserved tribute. The university is not merely an institution for ac quiring knowledge, but also one for ex animation and exploration"

 The Governor Takes Command of the
 Crescent City.
 NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 1.-The Governor has taken control of the situation.
 The city authorities practically ad. mitted their inability to maintain the peace, and last night the Governor is sued proclamation in which he says that the sh utting down of the gas and electric light works has given criminals an incentive to ply their vocation in dark ness.
 The Governor calls upon citizens not to congregate upon the streets, and says that all the power vested in him shall be extended to preserve the peace and good order of the city.
 The mayor issued proclamation this morning calling upon all good citizens to present themselves at the City Hall to be sworn in as special policemen. Every military company in the State is under arms and ready to respond to a call for duty, and companies are organizing ali over the State to come here on special trains should their services be required.
 The situation in the general strike is unchanged this morning. The fact that the common laborers are still at work is regarded sign of weakness on the part of the strikers. Every effort mas been made to make the crew men and their allies quit work but the men have calculated on the season of disaster which would follow the turning of cotton into some other channel ard refuse to be called out. The men in other branches have consented to idleness
 The strike of freight handlers has at last affected the business of the mer chants to a serious extent, but the rail road officials have taken very firm stand and have given the strikers notice that they must return to work at once or lose their places. The railroads have a mum Der of men ill short run of the city, and will pot temporiZe much longer. If they are compelled to put in new set of freight handlers they will not only bring all the men they require, but will assist the merchants in importing labor CTS to take the places of all strikers, and by tomorrow there will be ample protection.
 The plan is to increase the force of the militia. About 300 men are available, but such force could not do much ill case of a general riot. The merchants | will organize an auxiliary force of sev' | eral thousand men, and these will bt l drilled and armed, and ready to take | the field in short time.
 Another plan of attack decided upon is l to file suits against the labor leaders for l conspiring to ruin the business of some l institution which would be selected, SC l that in case of trouble the United States | Marshal could be called upon to aid il | the punishment.

The Slain Mans Family Determined to
 Annoy Deacon.
 PARIS, Nov. 1.-The position of the Deacon case before the First Chamber of the French Court of Appeal is somewhat hay.
 If Mrs. Deacon really wants her appeal to be heard it will be heard next We'd nesday as the Abeille family possesses large influence and is using it in her be- half. If she desires to gain time she will be able to delay the trial indefinitely.
 The exact whereabouts of the child ab- ducted by Mrs. Deac on from the Convent of Our Lady of the Assumption is un- known. There is uo doubt, however, that the little girl is near Paris, as Oil Saturday, when Mrs. Deacon's lawyers offered to surrender her to Mir. Deacon, they said that if he would agree to their conditions he should have possession of her in three hours.
 Mir. Deacon refused to consent to any compromise in the case, being determined to divorce his wife.
 The real explanation of her move in bringing an action of divorce against her husband is that she is tool of the Abeille fanAly. The members of the family are still trying their utmost to annoy and thwart Mir. Deacon.

THERE is no doubt that Governor Me KInley has lost in reputation both as a man of ability and of reliability, by his electioneering tour during the campaign. The impression previously prevailed that he had a mastery of the tariff question, and that it was mainly owing to his efforts that the tariff as It is was framed and passed. The opinion of all statisticians in political economy and others who are authority upon practical public affairs now is that Governor Nc Kinley does not at all compare with men like Senator Morrill, and Senator Aldrich. The manner in which Gov. ernor Mckinley attacked ex-President Cleveland year ago for his advocacy of sound currency excited distrust of his fairness also, and the steadiness with which he refused to meet able men in discussion has induced the belief that he is not himself unaware of the unreli ability of the statements he made ir
 his speeches. Mckinley will go nc
 higher on the ladder of fame.

No sooner had the vicious little beasts been imprisoned than the wasp attacked the hornet They fought quietly but val iantly, each using its stinger to the fullest extent In less than ten minutes the wasp was corpse, and two minutes later the hornet expired. The bodies of both are said to have been swollen to three times their normal size.

THERE was not, says a reliable au- thority, previous to the civil war any national law prohibiting the slave holder from taking his slaves from a slave state to a free one, indeed the con stitution guaranteed to him that his slaves if held to service and labor in one state should be so held in all, and the fugitive slave law of 1850 was intended to supplement and emphasize this pro- vision of the constitution. There were, however, numerous state laws which forbade the bringing of slaves into cer- tain states, or declared that if slaves were so brought they were made free men.

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Another delay has come up to check the progress of the trial of Dr. Briggs for heresy, and the hearing has been postponed until Nov. 2S. This postponement was requested by Prof. Briggs, who said that, though he was ready to go to trial on the old charges, he would need time to prepare an answer to the amended charges which the prosecution presented.

TIE Irish land agents are, as Artemus Ward said of his kangaroo, "amoosin' cusses." They have just held meet ing, in which they were kind enough to lay down an elaborate series of laws for Judge Matthews for the regulation of the proceedings of the commission. The rules seem admirably suited for the two objects which the rack-renters have in view-to waste the time of the com mission and obscure the issue. Amongst other things, it is proposed to allow the agents an unlimited power of cross examination. It may be fairly su9- gested that it is not customary to allow the accused parties to regulate the issues and procedure of their trial, and rack-renters and agents alike are on trial before the commission for treason against laws of justice and humanity.

Endowment sooieties.

r Fraternal orders for the insurance of members lives are rapidly multiplying throughout the land and are gathering into their folds many confiding young men who, when they get their eyes open, find that they have been done out of their money. A recent instance, as related by the Youths Companion, car ries with it it's own lesson.
 A young man in small town became a member of an "endowment" society," one of the mushroom ''fraternal orders" ing the last few years.
 "Yell never see yer money again, !" said some of his friends, who thought he was fool to believe the promises held out.
 "Oh yes, shall. You see."
 Sure enough he did see it again. Af- ter paying out about forty dollars, altogether, for admission and as- sessments, his certificate matured and he received a hundred dollars Then those who had sneered at him and predicted that he would lose all, hast ened to join so prosperous an order.  They paid the first fee and one or two assessments; and then court ordered the affairs of the concern to be wound up.
 There was not on hand half as much money as would be needed to pay back to the members what they had invested, to say nothing of interest or profits A part had gone to redeem a few certiti- cates-just enough to lure in new mem bers; another large part in comfortable salaries to the officers.
 Some of the endowment societies have not yet become bankrupt. But they are all founded on false principle, and are sure to come to grief in the end. For they could keep their promises only in case large proportion of their mem bers became discouraged and dropped out.
 Then, of course, the more promises it keeps the fewer will be the people to be discouraged, and thus the more cer- tain will be it's failure to pay back all its members.
 Beware of the man who promises you something for nothing.

JUDGED by the standard of our local ways America as a whole must be re- garded as the least advanced of all countries which are commonly classed as civilized. It is true, says writer in the Atlantic Monthly, that our great transportation routes, those which are plowcd by the steamers of our inland waters and traversed by locomotives, are well organized, widespreading and efficient in a high degree; but these ways serve in a direct manner only a narrow belt of country on either hand. They have high interstate and inter national value, but little relation to the needs of local life. So far from meet ing the necessities of rural neighbor- hoods or aiding in their development, they have tended to retard the growth of the less conspicuous but really more important channels of communication, our common country roads.

Twas the night before lection When all through the street, People ru shed each direction, And the cops were asleep, While politicians of both parties group now and then, And wagered and bluffed on both Grover and Ben. Election day dawned Ia her gloomy and wet,
 And hacks started early for there was plenty to get And bring to the polls to cast in their vote, For every one counted and both sides had hoy. Grover is elected, good democrats rejoice, You've defe.ted Ben Ha rison and 'lect9d your choice, But don't get excited and lose all your vim,
 For Kershaw IS Castle are still in the swim. Though not candidates for president, our markets still on the corner, So drop in and compare prices and you'll surely call oftener.
