BosroN. MASS, January 2l.-Ex-Bur-
CESS John McLuckie, OF Homestead, Pa,
has written TO Frank X. Foster, OF the La

"Dear Sir:-I am going 10 ask you and

81 suppose that you know that they have
had me arrested four times, charged with
murder, riot, conspiracy aud treason.
"In return, had them arrested upon the
following charges s-riot and conspiracy.
"Of course they will fight me through
all the courts and convict me IL they can
while | intend TO convict them.
"I shall have the work to do without any
assistance from the Amalgamated Associa
tion of Iron and Steel Workers as my bene-
fits there were declared off when the strike
ended. As | have had no work for twenty
eight weeks and am out Of money L am
thus forced TO appeal for aid as do not
want TO lose the legal fight for want OF
funds.
.eThe AmalRamated Association will pay
the attorney, but what we want Is money
enough TO i've upon and get the necessary
evidence TO convict the Frick crowd. Some
of the evidence we have ourselves, but there
are detectives, travelling expenses, etc, TO
be paid.
"I am out OF Jail, after having served
tbirty-three days and have since been out
of work, out Of money, family 70 support
and on trial for my life-not pleasant out
look
"Will you do what you can 10 inform the
labor men Of my condition. aud ask them 70
help tighten the burden financially, and re-
ceive the thanks OF JOHN McLUcKIE."

PARIS, January 2l.-The authorities ap-
pear TO be determined to show by their en-
ergy IN obtaining evidence against DR..
Cornelius Herr that they are in earnest In
their effort to procure his extradition. They
realize that they labor under considerable
disadvantage in dealing with DIR. Herr NJ
the distance of London. II they had him
here he could be subjected 10 the usual
French process Of examination, which in
cludes brow beating, confronting, entrap-
ing, and everything in the way OF lnqulsl-
ton short of actual physical tortnre, and
sometimes approaches that very closely In
the persistent subjection OF tho accused 10
long and exhausting sittings, with view
of compelling admission through sheer
WEAKNESS and desire for rest.
All parties are furious against Herr
"The Panamaites" as they are called are
enraged against him for the share he IS al
legged TO have taken in betraying them TO
Andrieux and assisting the ex-Prefect IN
the exposures which have caused so much
scandal; while those who were not impli.
Gated in the scandal would like the chief
responsibility for the disgrace laid upon
foreigner and German at that. One OF
the charges most generally uttered against
Herr is that he is Bavarian and. conse-
ouently compatriot Of the soldier brig
ands who fired Bazille, in September 1870.
1t happens that DIR. Herr was born at
Besancon, in France, and is not the son OF
Bavarian, but Of Hessiau parents. He is
therefore only of German psrentage. This,
however, makes no difference to his assail-
ants who persist in depouncing him as
German and spare no effort 10 prove that
he was chief hand in the Panama affair.
One of the newspapers goes SO far as 10 de-
clare that foreigners are chiefly response
bile for the Panama scandal.

Ata late hour last night, the members
of the Electric Railway Operators organ
ization. in this city, decided to go out on
strike for the reinstatement Of two Of their
number. who were discharged from the
service Of the company Thursday and

necessarily take some time for the repre-
sentatives Of the company and Of the men
70 get together and attempt an arrange
ment Of the points OF difference e1iSVlns
between them. -.

among other things that no emplOEe
shal be DISCHARGED except for cause, ana
making the claim that sufficient cause olu

sulted in nothing, and a second meeting
was held. with nc better result. Last night
a third and final meeting was helo, az
the residence OF Superintendent LoiIuS on

PARKERsBURG, W. VA, January 2l.-
Harry Houser was brought into court TO-
day receive his sentence. Judge jackson
in his remarks to Houser before sentencing
him said that even were he to admit the
plea of kleptomania so eloquently prefer
red by his consel, MIR. Atkinson, that he
thought it would be better for the public
good TO imprisou Houser than to turn him
loose upon society. Il ought TO deal with
him." said the Judge, '..as If he was man
without moral restraint to control his ac-
tion. 1 have failed yet to find
single instance in which persons
who were kleptomaniacs have not been
punished when found gully. II discre-
tionary with the court l must infict such
punishment as will deter him in future"
The Judge then sentenced Houser to one
years Imprisonment and fine of 800.
Houser will be confined in the Ohio county
Jail. His short sentence was due TO his
former good character and to the fact that
all of the money and valuaoles stolen from
the government had been paid for as well
as TO the opinion that Houser was believed
to be somewhat afflicted mentally.
