ors' meeting Thursday 1t was decided
to shut down the mills Of the West
brook Manufacturing company, makers

goods. The mill has been in operation

New YORK, Oct. 2.-[Associated
Press. Rev. DR.. Benjamin Lebarre,
recording secretary OF the Presbyterian
board of foreign missions, received news
from Oroomiah, Persia, today of the
brutal murder OF an Armenian Christ.
ian, Ajah Jaon, in that country by a
mob of Mohammedans. Jaon was q
prosperous merchant in Oroomiah and
rian church. He had wife and child i.
A Mohammedan woman, for whom
he acted as agent, wished to purchase a
piece of property. She called at Jaon' 8
shop and he reported that he had not
been able to secure the land desired.
Much angered by this delay she went to
some of the most influential natives
and told that Jaon had grossly insulted
her. These people quickly spread the
rumor, and in short time bowling
mob gathered before the unfortunate
merchants store. They broke in the
doors, dragged him out and to the
mosque. There they offered him his
life and large sums of money if he
would renounce Christianity. He re-
fused. They then tortured him cruelty,
dragged him to the top Of the mosque
and threw him oyer. AS he lay pros
trate and scarcely breathing a heavy
stone was dropped upon him from a
great height, which broke every bone in
his body. Not satisfied with this the
mob slashed the corpse with knives
and daggers.

BOISE, Idaho, Oct. e. -[Associated
Press. Idaho wool growers in session
at Mountain Home organized state es-
sociation, with F. R. Gooding president
and W. T. Montgomery secretary. A
petition te congress was prepared. The
petition recites that the price of wool is
now below the cost of production, and
that the reduction of the tariff on
woolen goods and the placing of wool
on the free list would still further lower
the price. The petitioners therefore
ask that no change be made in the tariff
schedule on woolens, and that wool be
not placed on the free list.

Cleveland Will Not Hear
to a Compromise.
A Vote to Be Forced on
the Repeal Bill.
That Is the Presidents Final
Decision in the Matter.
The Silver Senators Are Still Hope
full and Express Themselves
Full of Confidence.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-[Associated
Press. Secretary Carlisle has con-
suited with President Cleveland on
compromise terms but with no satis-
factory results, says morning paper.
It is understood that the reply he has
authorized Carlisle to give the adyo-
Gates of compromise is that he will
listen to no compromise involving the
further purchase of silver until q SUI
preme effort has been made by the
friends of unconditional repeal to avail
themselves of their conceded strength
as majority of the senate to force q
vote.
If the effort fails then he may listen
to compromise terms as the less of the
two evils. The silver senators assert
they are certain of support at the criti-
cal moment.
The senators who have been most
active in trying to effect compromise
on the repeal bill do not express them
selves as discouraged by the outlook
this morning.
They say nothing is likely to tran
spire in that direction during the pres
ent week, but express the opinion that
beginning with next week will see
change in the situation, by which time
the senate will be more thoroughly inn
pressed with the futility of an effort
pending the bill in present shape. and
that this further delay will have the
general effect OF convincing the sena-
tors of the impossibility of any mans.
getting just what he may want.
The men on both sides are still hold
ing out stiffiy, however, and If there is
anv improvement OF the situation it
does not appear on the surface.

action. 1t denies that the complainant
had been awarded a contract for the
printing, either through the legisla-

forth that the printing was actually
performed by the Arizona ENTERPRISE
