tied the offers of the city and county.

The Shores Lumber company sent
word to Mayor O'keefe that It
would commence loading it's boats
with non-union laborers this forenoon
and asked for police protection
The mayor sent Chief of Police
SchwarZ and some officers to the

handcutfed by the officers and others
were arrested who We're afterwards res
cued from the police by their fellows
A desperate hand to hand contest fol.
lowed, in which revolvcrs were flour
ished and several shots fired. The Of
clubs and stones.
The advance on the tramway was
finally checked, but the strikers then
swung down underneath the tramway
and made for the boats, reaching them
ahead of the officers. There an awful
scene of brutality was enacted by the
violent mob; non-union men who were
loading the boats We're struck down
with clubs and terribly beaten as they
fled lpanic-stricken, followed by the
strikers
They were met by the officers, who
protected them from further violence
Forty of the ringleaders among the
strikers have been arrested.
+. A Shores says he will sue for
damages, rs he has long complained
that violence was imminent. Mayor
O'Keefe's blood is up. He says the
president of the Lumber showers union
had assured HIM that no violence
could be committed. He now swears
that the city will protect the non-unioL
labor at any cost.
The mob was composed not only of
lumber showers but of coal beavers, ore
punchcrs and all classes of dock labor
erS. The men have become so intiml

them started at work again.
Mayor OKeefc is now doing his best

MURDER AT RHINELANDER.
George Smith Kills His Wife and
Fatally Wounds Himself.

Rhinelander, Wis, July 31.-Geo. w.
Smith, Il contractor of this city, shot
and killed his wife and then fired Il
bullet into his own body last evening
Smith and his wife had not lived to-
Sether for some time, though Smith has
made several attempts to get his wife
to return to him.
Last evening he went to the house
where she was living and shot her in
the breast, killing her instantly. He
then shot himself and inflicted wound
that it is thought cannot help but prove
fatal.
Smith was conscious when found and
said that he intended to kill both him
self and wife, as he had proof that she
had been false to him. His only re-
greet, he said, was that he had not also
killed the man who had caused the
trouble. Smith has always been re-
garded as sober and industrious man.

REPAIRING DINGY FRAMES.
How to Restore Them to Their
Original Brilliancy

Gilded picture frames often get dingy
from long exposure to dust, but they
can be restored to their original glory
by applying a weak solution of salts of
tartar in water, with a cotton wool ball,
and then Swinging the surface with
cold water. If regilding is necessary
this also can be undertaken with very
little trouble. After rubbing the surface
of the frames with fine sandpaper a
coat of Shellac varnish is to be applied
with brush, followed by coat OF
japanner's gold size. When the size has
become tacky, that is, receives but 4
slight impression from the finger, the
gold leaf, previously cut in suitable
sizes, is taken up and laid on with a
cotton wool ball, each piece being MADE
to overlap slightly the adjoining pieces.
The gliding is then gently
pressed with cotton wool.
The surplus gold having been swept off
with silk handkerchief coat of shell
&C varnish is given. Two layers of gold
leaf is better than one. For this the
first layer is treated with gold size
The same process may be applied tC
the gliding of any wood surface. Thus
some pretty, Old-fashioned chair may
be completely metamorphosed and
once again figure as an adornment tC
parlor or drawing-rOom

untoward incidents that have been SO
plentiful in the excited speculation of
late and the discussion on the board
was chiefly upon the current con-
ditions of finance. Naturally, the saw
and a number of rllmorS affecting
some of the banks We're circulated and
had no small effect in producing the
weak opening.
There is a general feeling that there
is nothing to do but patiently wait for
an end to the liquidation. The ex-
change, in fact, is full of Micawbers
nowadays.
The market was an up and down one
and without any definite course.
August Belmont 4 Co were advised
today Of the shipment of $5OO,OOO in
gold on the Spree. leaving Southamp-
ton tomorrow, and the general opinion
is that probably $1O.OOO,OOO will be
shipped from London during the next
two weeks, though the banking houses
will not admit that they are concerned
in the importation of such an amount
at present. The steamship City of
<AISAiuuIlit, 1TOlIl I1dNdud, WHICH ar
rived this morning, brought in $46O. 800
Of Spanish gold. consigned as follows:
Muller, Schan 4 Co., S267 800. and
Lawrence, Turnure & Co, $193.OOO
Money rates threatened to be a dis
turbing factor in the early market,
first quotations ruling at Is, but the
money market eased later and rates
dropped to SG1O per cent. A slight
weakening was also noted in the quota
tons for government bonds, rejecting
the beginning Of the liquida ton by the
savings banks.
The loan committee of the clearing
house authorized the issue of $3.50
600 in loan certificates The total
amount outstanding is $2S,OOO,OOO. The
sllb-treasury has a credit balance at
the clearing house of more than $780,
600, which it received in gold coins.
Money on call is stringent at Is and

TIME HALF GONE.
Worlds Fair Attendance Has Been
Alarmingly Small.

Chicago. July 31-Three months of
the fair have now passed and the to-
tai paid attendance for that time is
just about 100000. The exposition is
all that one could expect but for I'M
known reasons, and perhaps owing TO
the dilatory work of railroads re
CARDS rates, the attendance UP TO this
time has been disappointingly small
Unless there is wonderful increase
during the next three months the ex-
position company will have hard
time paying its debts.
The paid attendance Sunday was but
little over $4,000. Today there We're
7O,254 paid admissions.

southeast of Amigo, murdered his wife
and three children about 10 O'Clock
Saturday night and then made an un
successful attempt to take his OWL
life
! The awful deed was not discovered
until Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock
and the news reached here early this
morning.
| AT the inquest Nonemacher made a
full confession. He said the crops were
poor and he was afraid of starving;
his wife's parents were in Quebec,
| where they had come all the way from
Germany, and wanted money, and he
! had none to send.
He had intended to kill his family
Friday night, but he changed his plan
to Saturday night. After the family
was asleep he went out and got an
ak and returned to the deed.
He said he killed his wife first by
three swinging blows on the left tenn
| pie. He then went into the next room
and killed Joseph, 6 years, and Willie
years old. He struck both boys on
| the head twice.
Returning to the room where his wife
lay, he picked up his year old baby
held her in one arm and struck her on
the top of the head.
He then went to the barn, climbed
on the roof and jumped twenty feet
to the floor of the pig sty, sustaining
| injuries to the spine and paralyZing
his lower eXtremities.
Sunday afternoon two of Fred None
macher'S little children went over and
saw the boys on the bed all bloody and
ran home and told their father, who
summoned the coroner and with him
he searched for his brother.
Today the jury returned a verdict
that the wife and children came to
their death by an AK in the hands OF
William Nonemacher, in accordance
with his confession.
| A visit to the scene of the murder
disclosed the horrible sight The moth
er lay ON her left side with a gaping
wound in the temple. The baby was
in the cradle beside the bed in a sleep
ing posture. The boys We're in the bed
in the next room in Il pool of blood.
The father as he lay on the floor OF
the kitchen paralyzed but conscious
without the least sign of sorrow or re
greet, talked as calmly about the muir.
der as he would about killing a pig.
After the inquest the murderer was
brought to town and placed in Jail. but
may not live to be tried.
He was always kind to his family
and good citizen, but easily gave away
to dependency.

Rabbits and Electricity,

Two French scientists say that o
current of electricity does not always
Kill when 1t appears to do SO. 1t sim
ply produces an appearance Of death,
from which the subject may be re-
stored by artificial respiration. In
commenting on this statement, the
Worcester Gazette suggests that this
may be the case with the criminals
who are executed by electricity in
this state, and that they are really
killed not by electricity, bu: by the
doctors who afterward make an au-
topsy on them. It seems that rabbits
have been revived after receiving
shock Of twenty-five hundred volts ard
twenty anperes, shock more power
full than is given in the execution Of
murderers.
