Narrow Escape OF Man Charged
With That Remark.

Narrow Escape OF Man Charged
With That Remark.
NEW YORK. Aug. 20.-Louis Vischoff-
sky, an unemployed tailor, was ar
raigned in police court today. He was
charged with being present at meet
ing i'm Military hall On Saturday after
noon and shouting to the audience to
commit unlawful acts and to throw
bombs at the police. Barondess, the
leader of the unemployed tailors, was
in court. and he retained a lawyer to
defend VlschOffsky. An officer testified
that he attended a meeting of theSocial-
isticLabor party at Military hall on Sat-
urday last. He was In civilians attire.
While one of the speakers was talking,
there was cOmmOtion in one part of
the hall, and he heard some one shout
out In German, down with the
police" 'tThrow bombs at the
police" He went to the spot,
and Vischoffsky was pointed out
to him as the man who had made the
remarks. He made him a prisoner
with the assistance of another officer.
Both officers testified that they were
over ten feet behind Vischoffsky, and
therefore were unable to swear that he
had made the remarks. They said that
the other people in the hall had pointed
him out as having made them. Vi
schoffsky denied having made the re-
marks. "You are discharged" said the
justice to Vischoffsky, because the
evidence is insufficient to hold you, aud
for the failure of the police to swear
that you had made those remarks. l
warn you and all other people that
will hold for trial all those who make
seditious remarks or disturb the public
peace. You will be protected if you
are orderly. and will be punished if you
are not"

SHOULDERS TO WHEEL.
Move to Aid the Unemployed iii
Chicago.

CHICAGO. Aug. 20.-Steps were taken
to-day to organize workingmen's relief
and aid committee. Committees from
several subordinate unions appeared at
the meeting of the trades assembly
and made a strong appeal for action.
A committee of twenty-one was APP
pointed to act in conjunction with
committees from other organizations.
Today and tomorrow central OrganiZa-
ton will be perfected, from which an
invitation will be sent to Lyman j.
Gage. Franklin MacVeagh, Samuel W.
Allerton, Mayor Harris, President Ed
manson, of the county board. President
Wenter, of the sanitary board. the pres
idents of the park board and prominent
citizens, inviting cooperation In the
task of providing work for the depend
emf unemployed. The proposition from
the trades assembly will be
met, in all probability, more than halt
way by the prominent men whom it
was decided to invite to the conference.
A conference was held Saturday among
several large employers of labor and
moneyed men, and it was practically de-
cIded then to arrange a meeting be-
tween leading capitalists and laboring
men to devise methods of providing for
the great number of unemployed men
in Chicago. The plan will probably
take tangible shape the latter part OF
this week.

FARMERS MUST SEED.

Flamboyant Peoples Party Ad-
dress to Western Agriculturists.
SYLVAN BEACH. N. Y, Aug. co.
The delegates and speakers to the
Farmers Alliance and Peoples party
state convention have issued the fol-
lowing appeal:
Farmers of the West: A cry of hunger
and starvation comes up from the heart
of the great metrOpOlis-New York. 1t
comes from the throat of tens of thou
sands of American citizens who are
without work and without bread. 1t
aScendS to heaven amidst the noise of
the call board on the stock exchange
and the juggling of the gold OH the
money counters of Wall street. 1t
is intensified by the tears and means
of starving mothers and furnishing
children. Men are becoming desperate
from want. and the gaunt specter of
famine stalks abroad unheeded by those
who have grown fat by the pillage of
labor and the ravagnIg Of industry.
The lobby approaching the council
chambers of the republic is filled with
the paid agents of the moneyed oil
garchy ready to debauch the peoples
representatives and weld the chains
of financial slavery still more
securely on the neck of labor.
The money sharks are unrelenting, the
government Indifferent and the people
desperate. By the pangs OF hunger
law-abiding, honest men are being
transformed into reckless wolves, and
fhis is the condition desired by the
enemies of the people. They starye
them hrst in erder to furnish an excuse
to kill them afterwards. This must
not be. The starving poor of New
York must not become the prey of
designing enemies. Farmers, you must
feed them. We know you are poor.
We know the labor of your hands is un-
requited, and your toll and persever-
ance unrewarded. But these men and
women are your brothers and sisters.
Their cause is your cause. Their
starvation and your poverty are
the joint production. of our
of your corn and wheat, your
potatoes and breadstuffs, that disorder
anu blOodshed may be averted. Let
the president of each alliance call his
alliance and act without delay. Ask
your railroads to furnish transportation
as freely as you give your substance.
Organize relief committees at once and
communicate with David Rousseau, 80
Mott avenue, New York city, who has
been selected by US as the cOnsignee of
relief supplies, and who will arrange
for their prompt and effective distriDu-
ton.

of the concessionaireS on Midway, whose

the battle, tells story OF remarkable
interest. Here it is:
Just before sunrise this morning the
three men who now lie behind the
bars stole from their beds, and, taking
out one of the horses, fixed upon il
sort of harness with long
rope dangling behind. Then they went
to the tent in which HaStab Abhad

Then the animal was dashed into a mad

in which sabers were freely used with
bloody effect. The trio made a bold
stand, but were beaten into subsection
before many minutes.

A Girl Who Kept Her Marriage
Secret.
An event out of the ordinary occurred
on Saturday at the Bemis Bros bag
factory. and it rather took Supt. Sim
mons breath away. There had been
employed at the factory for some time a
young lady named HannaTorkelson, who
by her faithfulness she had made her
self really Indispensable. She had be
come general favoriee with the en-
ployes, as well as with Superintendent
Simmons and his wife, and when she
recently asked for vacation
il was readily granted. The
surprise came in the shape
of a letter thanking Mr.. Simons and his
wife for their interest in Hanna, and
telling them both that it would ever be
remembered by her. Then came the
announcement that she had been
married three months ago. The
letter was signed by her hus-
band. Jacob Brrrum. and was one
of those straightforward, frank, manly
epistles that indicated to the employees
that Hanna had found good husband,
and after they had listened 10 the read
ing of the letter they all went back to
work with mental congratulations for
Hanna, but all wondering how on earth
she had been able to keep the secret of
her marriage from them 50 long.

Two Families Made Very Sick at
Their Dinner.
A sudden and very mysterious sick
ness fell upon two families living at
256-S Second avenue north yesterday
afternoon. and for time things looked
serious. The two families were those of
Michael Quinn, teamster, and James
Nolan, who owns line of transfer
wagons. The two families sat down to
dinner about , o'clock, and the NOlans,
who had an abundance of skinned
milk, sent quantity of it to the
Qulnns. Immediately after dinner both
families were taken violently ill. Mrs.
Quinn and her four children. aud Mrs.
Nolan, with her nurse rnd two children
suffered intense pain, while the men
were scarcely better off. 1t was thought
at first that the illness was caused from
some kind of poison from the milk, but
as the Nolans did not drink any of
the fluid. this theory was given up.
Physicians were summoned, and, when
they arrived, the children were vomit-
ing bloody fluid. 1t is thought that
the poison came from either some sau-
sage or some pork which the two fam
lies ate for dinner. Late last evening

the falls, and the aeronaut struck with

he dropped about fifty feet, striking
another ledge and falling to the bottom.
His head was fractured, aud he sus-

Starvation.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-An army
officer connected with the recruiting
service says that the prevailing hard
times have driven a large number of
men into the army as means of liveli-
hood. At present, he says. the army
is nearer it's maximum limit of $4,000
men than at any time since the
war. There are rarely more than
$4,000 men in the ranks, but now there
are only about 254 vacancies in the
whole army, and orders have been
issued to recruiting officers at the vari-
Gus stations to restrict the number of
recruits. The physical examinations
are very severe. but. in spite of this.
the number of applicants for the service
has greatly increased.
