CREAMS EXECUTION TO BE PRIVATE
No Opportunity Will BE Given for Fare
well Denominations.

LONDON, Nov. lit has been decided
that the execution of Thomas Neill
Cream. the convicted poisoner, will be
strictly private. Only the officials whose
attendance is necessary will be present,
and there will be no opportunity for any
farewell demonstrations on the part of
the condemned.
Neill continues very morose, and is
really beginning to believe that there is
no chance for him to escape the gallows.
He has been carefully searched to see if
he had any means of suicide hidden
away, but nothing was discovered and
the officials are convinced that he was
confident of acquittal, and thought no
precaution necessary.
The authorities are inclined to place
very little confidence in Creams supposed
confession. They think it will be a good
deal like the pretended confession left
behind by the murderer Deeming, and
which was destroyed after Deeming's
execution. 1t is possible that the same
course may be decided upon in regard to
any papers left by Cream.

THE WATER FAMINE.
Situation Serious in Many Places in Penn
sylVania.

sylvania.
PITTsBURa, Nov. 1.-Water is becom-
ing a scarce article, owing to the continu-
ance Of dry weather. All over Western
Pennsylvania much inconvenience is be-
ing occasioned by the drying up of the
sources of supply, and the precious fluid
has, in many instances, to be trans
ported for miles. A heavy rainfall is,
therefore, awaited anxiously.
Along the line of the Pennsylvania
railroad between this city and Altoona
the effects of the drouth are particularly
felt.
Both the railroad and a number of
towns between these points are expert
encing the unpleasant sensation of hav-
ing to hustle for their water supply At
two points on the Pittsburg division it is
found necessary to bring water from
miles away by trains. At Gallitzin, the
highest point in the Allegheny Mountains,
water Is also at q premium these days,
and the supply is brought from Portage,
ten miles distant.
The city reservoir in Altoona is proving
entirely inadequate to furnish the city.
In fact, but a few inches of water Is in it
and the reservoir of the Pennsylvania
railroad has been called upon.
The same story is told in other towns.
In Greensburg the local water company
is unable to furnish full supply to its
patrons, and many of them have been
compelled to fall back upon thoir wells
Irwin is in the same condition. as the
people of that place secure their water
from the same company that supplies
Greensburg.

MRS. MAREAN's CRIME.
Little Doubt That the Cambridge MAtri-
eide Is Insane.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. lit is evil
dent that Mrs. Mary Marean, who yesterN
day murdered her mother, Mrs. Brownlee,
with heavy iron furnace shaker. is in
sane, or was temporarily so when she
committed the deed. The old lady's
head was pounded almost beyond recog-
milton.
Mrs. Marean says that early in the
morning she and her mother were chat
ting pleasantly when the old lady kissed
her and told her she was a very dutiful
daughter. The murderess then said:
"As mother started to go up stairs.
walked up behind her and struck her on
the head with q wrench"
After the police had talk with Mrs.
Marean, she apparently began to realize
what she had done, breaking down and
acting in a pitiable manner.
1t was learned later on that the woman
had a severe attack of the grip two years
ago and never fully recovered from its
effects. OF late she has shown signs of
insanity, but did not seem violent and
her mother had no trouble in controlling
her.
The medical examiner of the district,
as we'll as an expert on insanity, were
notified of the murder and an examina-
ton of Mrs. Marean's mental condition
was made.
She is about fifty years old, and is the
widow of the lats George D. Marean.
One OF the neighbors says that Mrs
Marean came into her house and calmly
informed her that she had killed her
mother.
Her bearing was so composed and she
seemed SO unconcerned that the neighbor
thought she was only joking, but upon
Mrs. Marean insisting that she spoke the
truth, the neighbor went to the Marean
house and there found the corpse of Mrs.
Brownlee.
The Mortified woman quickly notified
the police.
Mrs. Marean made no attempt to es-
cape, ana apparently took no interest in
what was going on around her.

SOby Case Dismissed.

yesterday, the case of Collector Charles
c. Hubbard, plaintiff in the error, VS.
Charles Soby of Hartford, in error to
the circuit court of the United States for
the district of Connecticut, was dis
missed for want of jurisdiction. This
was the case which Mr. Soby won on ap-
peal for the decision of the customs col
lector at Hartford. 1t was on the pro-
vision in the tariff regulating the duty
when more or less than IS per cent of
the bundle was fit for wrappers. In Mr.
but very large sums in other similar
cases depended upon this decision.

in his paper, The American Manufac-

paid puddlers in the United States to-
day is 1926, and the highest $3.50, the
price paid at Pittsburg and in the entire
west"
Hereis difference of 81. 25 ton in diff
ferent parts of the United States. Does
not this explode the Republican claim
that if we had no tariff on foreign COM
modities wages here would sink to the
European level?

LONDON, Nov. 1.-The collapse of the
Lberator Building Society, simultane-
ously with the downfall of the London
and General Bank, is likely to prove one
of the most gigantic financial sensations
of the generation.
The official receiver stated at yester.
days creditors meeting that the Liberatoi
Society owed the shareholders and cred
itors SIG, 800, 600, while the reserve fund
was only $3.50, 200, and was little better
than mere book entry. 1.-THE mort
cages amounted to SIT, l 10, 900, and were
at first supposed to be good assets, but
Investigation had shown that they we re
probably valueless, as SIS, GAL 43O had
been lent to three companies which are
aow in liquidation.
There were virtually no free assets,
there being only $3.50, 900 in sight with
which to meet deficiency of $l5 900, 000
The bulk of the money had been lent
upon nothing better than third liens. 1t
was absurd to talk about possible re-
construction of the Society, for there was
nothing TO reconstruct.
Criminal prosecution of the directors
Of the concern will be the next thing in
order. 1t is said that j. Spencer Balfour,
NJ. P, vice-president and real head of the
concern, together with several of the

discovered to be on fire. An alarm was
promptly given, but the fire spread rap
idly, The occupants being rescued with

high wind was blowing, and the
drouth afflicted village was without
water. So quickly did the flames spread
that the IA houses composing the place
were soon enveloped, and in two hours
the little town was RACED to the ground.
Nothing could be done by the people,
and the sturdy miners sought only to
save what household effects they could.
Some succeeded in rescuing their be-
longings, but the greater number lost
their entire furniture and clothing, prac-
tically all they possessed.
The houses were built and owned by
the Mill Greek Coal company.

HOW PROTECTION PROTECTS.
BY Reducing Both Exports and Prices OF


McKinley's True Opinion of the Tariff Tax.
When Mckinley was explaining and
defending in the house, in May, 1890,
the tariff bill which bears his name and
had recently been reported by his ways
and means committee, he said, with
reference to the paragraph of the bill
repeating 1.-The provision in the law per-
uniting the United States government
to import for its use any articles free of
duty"
"This provision of law has been elm
mated i'll the proposed revision, and if
approved by the house and senate and
the president, the government, its Off
GERS, agents and contractors will here
after have to pay the same duties which
its citizens generally are required to
pay"
In the same speech he said, with refer
ence to a provision in the old law per-
uniting travellers returning from abroad
to import articles as personal effects
free of duty:
THE practical effect of this provision
was that the wealthy classes who were
able to visit distant countries secured
exemption from the payment of duties,
while the average citizen, unable to go
abroad, was compelled to pay duty
upon the articles which he might want
to use."
In those days Mckinley, fresh from a
prolonged study of the tariff, believed
and said that the tariff duties were paid
by ''citizens generally" or 'the average
citizen"-that they were, as Senator
Sherman said, "taxes upon the people"

She Sues Her Husband for Divorce Upon
Charges of Cruelty.
LONDON, Nov. Mrs. Deacon, wife of
Edward Parker Deacon, who shot her
lover, Abeille, dead some time ago, has
unexpectedly brought suit against her
husband for divorce on the ground of
cruelty
The object of Mrs. Deacon's move was
to serve the notice after Mr.. De aeon had
started for Liverpool, where he was go.
ing to see two of his children on theil
way to America.
BY serving the notice then it was hoped
that Deacon would not be able to make
an appearance in Paris to morrow, and
that the case would go against him by de-
fault.
Deacon, however, has not left London,
and will appear in court on the day
of the return of the writ.

WHY IS FTP

The Legislature of 1891 elected three
Railroad Commissioners. Their salaries
are $4,000 per annum, and all their
time is engaged as Railroad Commits
sioners,
Two OF them-Messrs. Mason and
Bedding6eld-a are putting in much of
their time at present speaking for the
Democratic party. We want to know
if the Legislature defined that as a part
of their duties7 Are they also commits
sioners of a political party? Must they
leave their Office to goout and examine
the political track and brace it up so
the Carr can run over it safely9 Is
there discrimination CT anything of
that kind to be investigated3 Or is
there new depots to be built along the
great through line? The people will
wonder whether or not Maj. Wilson
the only Commissioner not on the
stump, won't get lonesome these hot
days. If MI. Brown, the clerk for the
Railroad Commission, can perform all
the duties, the next Legislature should
discharge the Commissioners and re-
duce expenses to that extent. We
wait for further information.

CLEVELAND AND CARR CLUBS.

No doubt readers have been
amused when they read about Cleve.
land and Carr Clubs that have enrolled
60, 100 and lao names. We very much
doubt if the entire membership of these
clubs in the State would amount to
10, 900 voters.
A friend of this paper attended one
of these clubs recently. There was
fifteen patriots on hand for member
ship, but over one hundred names
were put on. A visiting patriot was
on hand who belonged to another club.
He was called on for "his experience. "
He told them that they must enroll the
name of every voter they could think
of, also that of boys. That would give
it a big sendoff. We understand that
not only the names of boys r being
put on, but g~raveyards have been
visited and names added by taking
them from tombstones.
These methods may work all right
in clubs, but when the election comes
it will be mighty hard to get dead men
to deposit votes. Certainly no dead
man would vote for Cleveland or Har-
rison, There are many men in both
old parties who have been dead for
years so far as the world knows. They
are called fossils" Doubtless they
will vote, but after the undertaken
gets through with them they have
never been known to vote for dead
parties running on dead issues.
