STILL HAVE NO JURY.
Eenire VIII Be Needed i'll the
Mead Murder Case.

Waupaca, Wis, June 1.-THE special
Venire of more than 100 Men Was rapid
ly dlssipated by challenges Tor cause,
peremptory challenges and indefinite
leaves of absence at the Mead murder
trial yesterday, SO that when Judge
Bardeen ordered Il recess late i'll the
afternoon until this morning there
was Il mere remnant to engage the
attention Of court and attorneys at
the next session.
Among the number excused for
cause We're Il half dozen who were
not citizens of the United States, sew
eral who could neither read nor write
the English language and Il number
who barked their intellectual shins on
the word bias" used in the eAamina-
ton touching their qualifications to
serve. The majority, however, were
sturdy farmers of Waupaca county, ill
1T ease in the court room and anxious
to return to their potato fields.
At supper time eighty-four regular
and special jurors, all told, had been
examined. OF this number thirty
eight were excused for cause, five
pcremptorily challenged by the state
and thirty by the defense, leaving
eleven in charge of the court. The pre-
vious venire will probably be exhausted
and it will be necessary to summon an
other next week, unless by that time
jury has been obtained, which is not
considered likely.
A jury is looked for, however, by
Tuesday, unless there is some unusual
delay, as the state and defense have
already used nearly half of the per-
emptory challenges. District Attorney
Goldberg says he does not look for a
jury before Monday OF Tuesday, but
that one may be sworn in at any time

FIFTEEN ACRES OF FIRE.
Buffalo Coal Yards Have Lost 100000
Damage Will Be Greater.

Damage Will Be Greater.
BUFFALO, \. Y, June 1..-Three
torrid mountains of coal still blaze
and simmer at the storage yard of the
Philadelphia Il Reading Coal Com
pany. where the fire occurred week
ago. and 81. o. tons of h Lrd co Il is re-
SOLVING Itself in;o mountains of useless
clnders. The aspect at the scene
is one desolation. Fifteen acres of
ground are covered with the charred
and blacken d uins of treStl S, ears,
outhouses, Offices and scale platforms.
It is impossible to do anything to save
the coal that has not yet caught fire
except by carrying it away. An ex-
ira switch line. capable of holding
forty ears, has been run from tho
main yard TO the burning coal mount
ain and large forces of men are work
ing day and night filling cars and
sending them out on the main tracks,
but not more than 10000 tons can
possibly be saved.
The fire has worked its way under
the piles and e. cry little while an ava
lanche of good coal will rush down
from the top, showing a bed of red
dened coal beneath. Forty thousand
tons, representing 100000, will be
oodao nieo. bSSloco lHe IinhIeAse AoSs
on the coal and sheds, there is also the
loss of sixty freight ears. Twenty of
these were owned by the Reading, and
the other forty by other lines, and
these latter the company will have to
pay for.
The total loss is now figured al
$500. 900. If some method of ex-
tinguishing the fire in the coal is not
found it will proba bly, burn and smoul-
der for months.

FULL OF DUPLICITY.
ChicagOan Shines as Churchman, Horse
Thief and HighWayman.

Chicago, June Ito bright but

scent to common horse thieving is easy.
Nor would it be especially difficult for
the youth of the crime inf1amed mind tC
become Il daring lone highwayman and
start the brave men Of a big city like
Chicago to buying firearms by whole
sale
c. NJ. Dustin did this and more In
his home and social life he passed for
an exemplary citizen, a progressive
Sunday-school teacher, and a pillar of
the church, Il duel role which might
tax ordinary intelligence.
; Some eighteen months ago Dustin
was the trusted assistant bOOkkeeper
for O. B. Green, the dredging man, IT'S
South Water street He had been with
Mr.. Green for five or six years. One
Saturday he started out with the two
weeks pay roll for the men ON the
north branch, about 81 800, and failed
to return.
Mr.. Green, investigating, heard a sOr-
rowful tale of sandbagging, which he
beGeevd, and when Detective Tom
Howard told him that young Dustin had
robbed him Mr.. Green felt like throw
ing the officer down the stairs. Staunch
in his belief Of Dustin's innocence he
reinstated him, but the able young
man soon after demanded a raise of
salary. and not getting it quit.
His career since then has been evanes-
cent. He started a drug store, a gro
Gerry and various other advertisements
for his evident talents, but all proved
short lived. He has just been run to
earth rs a cleevr horse thief, and while
in the sweat box confessed that he
was the terror of Lake View. the lone
highwayman whose deeds of daring
blanched the cheeks of many reputable
citizens. He said he had come to be-
lieve that, like Tascott, he would never
be caught. His over-cOnf1dence blinded
his native shraWdness and he anguish
eS in jail.
He was arrested June at the gate
Of his cottage in Lake View, 500 Ros-
coe avenue, near Ashland avenue, and
Just in the rear of the Carlson cottage.
Dustin lived there with his father-in-
law and his young wife, whom he had
married only six months ago. At first
he assumed the injured air of his other
self and told the officers that they had
taken the wrong man. After four or
five days at the police station the
moIotony of things grew wearisome,
his icineSS melted away, and he adj
mitted numerous thefts, giving infor
nation which led to the recovery of
much of the stolen property. Property
aggregating $500 in value was thus
traced.

she was seen to enter a bookstore close

Brazilian War.

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, via Gal
weston, Dec. IA (by Mexican cable
to New York Herald. 1.-The Brazil
ian Admiral Gonzales, who is in
this city, has received telegram
from Rio Janeiro saying that the
insurgent armed steamer Jupiter
had captured the French steamer
Parahyba. The Parahyba was
leaving the harbor of Rio at the
time. She is a vessel Of 1886 tons,
and left Barry, England, on Oct. 5
for Buenos Ayres.
Gen. Travares is now besieging
Bage with force of 1000 insur-
gents from Rio Grande do Sui. Col.
SamiZero, who was leading a body
of troops to the defense of the city,
has cOunter-marched to Piedras
Atlas, not daring to advance
further.
The garrison of San Gabriel, a
fort in Para, on the Rio Negro, with
field artillery, is also advancing to-
ward Bage, but on which side the
men will fight is not known here,
but probably with the Castilhistas,
because Col. Cabeda, with 1900 in
surgents, is said to be marching to
meet them, and will undoubtedly
engage them in battle.
Word is sent by the Herald's cor
respondent in Rio Janeiro that on
Dec. 8 brisk firing was kept up be-
tween the rebel ships and govern
ment forts. One shot from the
land battery in Nictheroy pierced
the hull of the Tawandare, and the
fleet retiring, a vigorous fire from
muskets and Calling guns was
maintained all night between CO.
bras Island and the city.
AS a result of Gen. Saldanha de
Gama's manifesto the situation in
Brazil grows worse every day.
Commerce is paralyZed, many bust
ness houses and banks are closed :;
exchange on London rules at 1OI,
and numerous imprisOnments are

Bishop Coke Talks.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Dec. 14.-Bishop
Cleveland Coke, of the Episcopal
church, has written another open
letter to Mgr. Satolli. In part he
says, the Society of Jesuits is not
a church, but a conspiracy. AS
specifications of his charge Bishop
Coke points to the course of recent
events in Buffalo. Referring par
ticularly to Satolli's visit there,
and his open utilization with that
detestable element in the citizen
ship of a town that is headed by
Lieut.. Gov. Sheehan, the Bishop
instances some of the outrageous
acts of the Sheehan party, and de-
clares his belief that behind Shee-
han there has been operating
secretly malignant influence of
the Jesuits. "You and your reti-
nue. of dignataries made common
cause with this offender" he
SAYS to Satolli. ain Maryland
and in this state the force of the
liberalism having been played out
you dropped your mask, and open
ly made war on our public schools,
and grasped at the sacred fund on
which they depend to be employed
in the Jesuit schools, under
an alien priesthood for the
propaganda Of sheehanizing the
ideas of our constitutional
right andisafeguards." 81 close this
letter." says the Bishop, "by quot
ing the words of Washington him
self, as showing what he would
think of you; thus he has taught
me and all his cOnntrymen
against insidious wills of for

to believe me fellow citizens,

to be constantly awake, since his
tory and experience prove that
