A Town Ila Pawn.

It may not be generally known that
the little seaport town of Wismar, in the
Baltic, is virtually in the same position
as Montague Tigg's shirt-namely, at
the pawnbroker's. It was in 1903 that
Sweden pawned the town to the duchy Of
Mecklenburg for around sum Of money. It
was then stipulated that the town should
be restored to Sweden at the end of a
century, provided the sum lent, together
with interest. were paid back to Neck
lenburg.
This sum is now said to amount to sew
eral hundred million marks, and appar-
emily there is little chance of Wismar
being able to pay 1t at the date fixed.
This singular treaty has lain dormant in
the archives Of the municipality ever
since 1t was made up to the other day,
when, apropos Of the concession of some
land to the custom authorities, it was
exhumed for legal purposes.-Million.

Keeping the Mouths of oysters Closed.


II the plans of Messrs. Freeman, Hirst
and Thurston. three gentlemen from the
City Of Brotherly Love who are now in
Chicago, do not miscarry, the oyster
business not only Of Chicago, but of the
United States, will be revolutionized. By
process invented by Mr.. Freeman and
controlled by these gentlemen it is pos
dble to ship oysters in the shell to any
part Of the country with the certainty
that upon their arrival at destination
they will be as fresh and delicious in
flavor as on the day they were shipped.
No chemical solutions or embalming
preparations are used to secure this re-
suit. The only thing aimed at is to pre-
vent the oyster committing suicide, and
q little clamp Of lead that prevents the
bivalve from opening his mouth is the
whole secret.-Chicago Journal.

AN Eirht-hour Day In ENGLAND.

The 8-hour day, which is the aspira-
ton Of organized labor in this coun-
try, is to be made the subject of prac-
tical experiment in the great iron works
Of Stafford, near Manchester. The effort
Is to be made to reconcile the economic
objections which have been held to be
irreconcilable. That is, the workmen,
who have. been laboring SO hours week,
are to endeavor to turn out an equal
product by the labor of 48 hours. If by
punctuality, energy and increased activ-
ity they can show this to be possible, the
experiment will be success, their wages
will remain as now, and the 8-hour day
will be established.-Boston Common

Dubois Gives the Reply and mt the Same
Time Defiance.
VOORHEES, had not long to wait for a re-
ply TO his challenge Instantly Dubois
(Rep.) of Idaho was on his feet. lie said
that the senator from Indiana had been
trying to explain TO somebody out of the
chamber why he had not been attempting
TO do something contrary to the dignity Of
the senate. But he had not told senators
anything - hich they d d not already know.
The senator from Ind ana had tried to il
lustrate by the force" bill the position
that a vote could not be prevented. The
senator surely did not mean that seriously
There never had been a vote taken on the
force bill. Other business had beeh press
ing and that bill had been displaced.
The senator spoke OF the opposition to
the repeal bill being il minority How
did he know thats This was the third
time the senator from Indiana had asked
unanimous consent TO fix time for vot-
ing on the repeal bill The senator from
Indiana had certainly some definite object
in view in his repeated requests It was a
safe guess that he intended TO ask for long
or probably continuous sessions. lie (Du-
bois) would be entirely frank in saving
that whatever course the senator from In
diana might pursue would be entirely sat
isfactOry to senators of the opposition.
They were ready to join issue, whether it
were for long sessions, continuous sessions
or closure.
He closed with some reflections on Re
publican supporters of repeal, calling
them administration senator's" Noor
hees then gave notice chat today he won Id
ask an extension Of tn sessions of the sen
ate. HOar replied briefly to Dubois and
then in n sort of how-uot-to-do-it sly e adj
vocated some means of enabling the
majority of the senate TO come TO a vote.
Platt was not in favor of that sort OF plan
but produced an amendment which he
will offer to the rules giving the president
OF the senate, at the written request of a
majority of the senate, power to fix day
and hour when general debate shall cease,
said time not to be more than five DAYS
after the request, and subsequent dav
not more than two ia IS after cessation OF
general debate, when vote shall be taken.

Head Found on the Beach.
WASHINGTON, Ind, Sept. 20.-A most
horrible tragedy occurred in Harrison
township, this county, twelve miles south
OF this city. The entire family of benson
Wralton were most horribly butchered.
James A. Stone, a neighbor, went to the
Wralton residence to inquire as to
the health of Mr. Wralton, who has been

He rushed to the nearest neighbor and re-

accompanied him to the house, and there
found matters even worse than they had
anticipated.
Three Little Children Butchered.
They quickly rushed into an adjoining
room and there lay the father and husband
dead. He had been very sick of typhoid

were found the three children, two Of
them dead and the other so injured that
she cannot live. One of the children killed,
a little boy, was but 3 Years old and his

room showed that the same devilish work
was done there also. In this room slept
Mr. Wralton's mother, aged 6S. She was
lying on the floor dead, her left hand
completely cut off and the right broken.

A CASE OF ROBBERS ROBBED,
And Now VIII the Sleuths Please Find the
Other Fellows.

MARQUETTE, Mich, Sept. 20. - After
three days toll the detectives have cap
tured all who were directly or indirectly
implicated in the robbery of the express
car on the Mineral Range road last Fri
day, but are as far as ever from success
in finding the plumber. The money has
been accurately traced through the hands
of all who were in the plot, but here the
clew suddenly ends. The robbers have
either cleverly concealed the booty, or as
they aver, and the detectives are now dis
posed to believe, others have succeeded in
filching the money from the robbers them
selves.
OF the S75, 900 stolen from the train it is
now pretty well known that aside from
81 200 found in La Liberties trunk none
has been recovered. John Winters and
Wesley Shoop, the men who handled the
trunk here, have been released from Gus
tody. No evidence could be obtained
against them, and they proved that they
had no knowledge Of the contents of tho
trunk.

MYSTERIOUS CASE AT FRISCO.
A Young Woman's Head Found on the
Beach of q suburb.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2O.-Five days ago
a Young woman's head was found near the
beach at Sausalito, suburb of this city.
1t was wrapped up in wire netting and
had twenty feet of copper wire attached.
The head bore several wounds, but it was
supposed to be part of a dissecting-room
subject A day or two later portions of
woman's body, badly decomposed, fioated
ashore near Oakland. The head has been
identified as that of Miss Addie Gilmour,
Il comely young milliner of Colusa, and
the circumstances that have been since
developed point to a crime of a highly SEN
sational character The young woman
owned a store at Coiusa, but about three
weeks ago she came here anc went to work
in Il wholesale house.
She lived in the Elmer House, place of
doubtful repute, but was to all appear
ances respectable herself. She was last
seen alive Sept. i Her parents and her
brother arrived several days ago from CO.
lusa. They refuse to discuss the matter.
Their mission here has been to find out
where the girl went when she left work
two weeks ago. and their search led to the
Identification of the S9uSalito head. The
minor circumstances seem to make it
plain that her body was cut up and
thrown into the bay with weights at
tached, but that the fastenings were loos-
ened and the head drifted north TO Sausa-
Ito The only clew to the murderer is the
fact that few days ago a boy called at
the lOdgmg-hcuse with note asking for
Miss Gilmour's mail.
