pared for such emergency. A conference
between the sheriff and Amalgamated
officials and Carnegie was fruitless. The
outlook is far from encouraging. AT 10
this afternoon eighteen men were taken
from the yard of the mill, three dead, two
OF whom were PinkertOns. The wounded
men were taken home or sent to the hospi-

EDUCATIONAL ADVANCEMENT.


Benefit of the Sunday Evening
school Discussions,
Prof. o. P. Yemen and Attorney George
F. Stone were the speakers at the Sunday
evening discussion of educational topics at
the Unitarian church, Professor Yemen
advocated the necessity for a distinct and
separate head to direct the educational l
matters of the government. He should be
a member of the cabinet. The speaker ad-
vanced many original ideas which could
be proftably applied in the advancement
of the great cause of the country, the edu-
cation of its children.
Mr.. Stones paper covered an unlimited
field of arguments for a system of educa-
ton for Washington which would rival all
other states, and for measures which would
place Olympia in the front rank as an
educational center.
The meetings have proved Of great benefit
to the many regular attendants.

ing 10 Their Law and VIII Pros
ecUte Him.
zAoATEoAs, Mexico, July 6.-Frank c.
Lawson, an American mechanic of this
city, has been arrested and placed in jail on
a peculiar charge. 1t is that of exceeding
the limits prescribed by the Mexican law,
still in force in this state, regulating matri-
mony. Lawson came here about four
years ago from the city of Mexico, bring
ing with him a pretty Spanish woman as
his wife. She died two months after their
arrival and Lawson took himself another
young wife. This woman also soon died,
and the American continued to exercise his
matrimonial prOpensities at a rate that
astounded the native population of Zacate-
cas-. particularly as none of the women
lived longer than two or three months after
becoming the bride of Lawson. The latter
never wore weeds longer than three months
after the demise of one Of his wives,
when he would repeat the matrimo-
nial experiment. The people of this
city are very conservative in such
matters and they let Lawson alone with
his remarkable and unfortunate domestic
affairs until three days ago when it was
learned that he had married his thirteenth
wife since his arrival in Zacatecas. The
authorities began working on the case and
as there was no evidence at hand going to
show that his twelve previous wives had
died from other than natural causes, he
was arrested under a law enacted many
years ago, which prohibits man entering
into the matrimonial state more than nine
consecutive times; Lawson, therefore, has
four offenses to answer for and will prob
ably receive long time in prison. He is
about 40 years of age and well educated.
He has resided in Mexico for fifteen years.

Peculiar Qualities of Mineral Which

Iron.
Litho-carbon, which is a mineral some
what resembling asphalt, is the most re-
markable mineral OF its class known. 1t is
claimed that 1t makes a perfect insulator 4;
that as paint It will resist heat or gases of
any kind; that it is capable Of being rolled
into tissue free from odor, and practically
indestructible when employed in the pro-
dpction of mackintoshes, canvas betting,
waterproof tents, etc. 1t possesses peculiar
powers, enabling it to enter and fill the pores
OF iron and steel, rendering these metals
1mperyous to acids. etc. 1t is also said to
make common leather waterproof, and it
can be applied to wood pulu for the trans

HIS MONEY is MISSING.
One Solution of Johnson's
Bloody Work.
Perhaps He Fired Upon Mrs. Nunan Because
he Could Not Recover His Cashier
Husbands Denials.

Why did P. S. Johnson. the gripman,
shoot Mrs J. J. Nunan at 1549h Mission
street last Saturday and then blow out his
own brains?
Neither the police nor the Coroner have
been able 10 solve the question.
At first it was supposed that Johnson had
done the bloody work because he WAS in
fatuated with Mrs. Nunan. who ordered
him to cease visiting her.
Another theory is now advanced.
1t is that the humans owed Johnson quite
a sum Of money and that he decided to kill
them both because they would not repay
bin.
An inquest on the remains Of the suicide
was commenced yesterday.
Andrew Meehan identified the deceased
as a single man, aged 20 years and native
Of Missouri.
Mrs. j. c. Burr, VINO lives at 1894 Mis-
sion street, was in the house during the
shooting. She did not know how many
shots were fired, as she was no: In the
room at the time.
johnson fell unconscious and Mrs. Nunan
dropped her baby and ran out and fell on
the back steps.
According to the witness johnson had
only been TO the house three times.
DR.. Z. Won Buelow deDOsed that Mrs
Nunan was recovering from the wound un-
der her lett ear.
1t would be several weeks before she
would be able to appear and testify.
Joseph j. Nunan, husband OF the
wounded woman, testified that he knew the
| deceased slightly.
He came to our house eight months ago
on Tenth street aud engaged room there"
said be. johnson rOomed there six weeks
and left for Eureka before we moved from
Tenth street"
did you ever give johnson orders to
keep away from your hOuse?" asked the
Coroner.
"NO, sir"
Did your wife order him to stay away ?"
Yes, sir"
"Why was that?"
SBecause ! told her to-"
what was the reason OF thatP"
Because he was not a friend and / did
not want him around. He had no business
in the house. He had no cause whatever to
shoot my wife.
81 want to say right here that johnson
never went with me, never caTQused with
me and never was In the house after II
o'clock at night except when he roomed
there"
In answer to other questions Nunan said
that neither he nor his wife ever borrowed
any money from johnson.
Maggie Mar0ney, a domestic at 1115 Sew
| enteenth street. testified that she knew the
deceased since August l. About three
| weeks ago johnson told her that ihe had
| loaned $500 to some folks and he was afraid
he would never get his money back
The witness had no knowledge of the let
ter left by johnson In which he called her
his wife.
She said she was not married TO johnson
and never had any idea of marrying hina.
An adjournment was then taken until
such time as Mrs. Nunan should be able to
appear and testify
Friends of the deceased say that Johnson
| had over $500 UP to e certain date. The
money cannot be traced and this lends
some color to the belief that 1t was loaned
