kREZ KNOCKED OUT
c.. II. HAMILTON NOW MILWAU-
KEGS CITY ATTORNEY.
Judge Sloan's Decision in the Agra
waited Case-Col. Krez Takes
an Appeal.

Milwaukee, April 20.-Judge Sloan
this morning handed down his de
cision in the quo warranto proceed
ings brought by Attorney Charles II.
Hamilton to secue possession of the
office of city attorney as against City
Attorney Krez.
He ruled that Attorney Hamilton is
entitled to the office and ordered that
Col. Krez vacate in favor of Mr.. Ham
ilton. The decision is in accordance
to the New York decisions cited by Mr.
Hamilton.
Col. Krez took immediate steps for
an appeal to the supreme court and
the case will come up before that
body within the next two weeks and
will be immediately disposed Of
Judge Sloan decided that that part of
the law which eXtened the term of
office of Mr.. Elliott during his incum-
bency of the city attorneys office is
unconstitutional, thus overthrowing
the claims of Col. Krez.
Col. Krez according to the stipula-
ton, immediately yielded the Office to
Mr.. Hamilton, who will discharge the
duties of city attorney, at least until
the supreme court settles the case.

SOUTH CAROLINA LIQUOR LAW
is VOID.
The Governors Pet State Dispensary
Scheme Which Has Caused so Much
Trouble and Bloodshed Is Declared
to Be stitutional-Creates a
Dangerous State Monopoly.

Columbia, S. c., April 19.-The Till
man state dispensary liquor law has
been declared unconstitutional by the
supreme court of South Carolina, two
justices cOncurring and one, Justice
Pope, Tillmanite) member Of the
bench, dissenting from the opinion.
The decision was rendered by Chief
Justice McIver, Justice MCGOWAN as
senting. The decision was rendered
in a composite case.
The ground on which the law is de-
clared unconstitutional is that it ere
ates monopoly for the STATE. Chief
Justice McIver's decision declares the
law unconstitutional in nearly every
respect, and especially holds that it
cannot stand on any vital point. The
profit to the state is declared vicious.
Gov. Tillman says he is not talking;
that it is time only for action.
EXTRA SESSION PROBABLE.

hour after the news Of the supreme
courts decision was received here, up

Gov. Tillman will call an extra session

law and will then take it up to the
state supreme court, which meets July
1st., and will be Tilmanite in politics

END OF THIS WORLD.
Prof. Rudolph Falb, of Vienna, Pre-
diets 1t for Nov. ID, 1899.

The records indicate that people
have been looking for the end of the
world at intervals ever since the world
began, and predictions of this char
acter generally receive very limited
credence, but when a scientific man
of the character of Prof. Rudolph
Falb, of Vienna, makes a prophecy of
this sort it is at least worth thinking
about Prof. Falb has a reputation
all over Europe for his meteorological
knowledge and particularly for his ex-
traordinay familiarity with the habits
and customs of earthquakes.
His predictions of these seismic dis
turbances have been remarkably full
filed. His prediction of the great
earthquake at Zante last year was
published in the press dispa tches all
over the country the day before the
earthquake occurred. Another eX-
ample of his accurate foreknowledge
on this subject is shown in the fact
that on March 81, 1893, he wrote to
the Tourist club of Vienna accepting
an invitation to lecture about earth
4udhSS, puI IhSiI liS "oult llht
to defer the lecture until after April 13,
as an earthquake would occur by that
time, which would aid him in giving
them enlightenment. AS a matter of
fact an earthquake occurred April S,
and was felt all over southern Hun
gary. Prof. Falb'S prophecies go back
over a number of years, have usually
been made from nine to twenty
months in advance, and have in al
most every instance been correct.
Now, however the professors pro-
phetic eye has shot across a space of
five years, and he says that Nov. 13,
1899 the cratic Wanderer known to
astronomers as the comet of 1856 will
reappear and collide with our globe;
then "the fireworks" and darkness.
By way of preliminary to the main
event, however. it may be mentioned

Uniontown, Pa, April 23.-The Oil
Yer plant near here was the scene Of
disorder and bloodshed today. A
striker named Michael FetZko stoned
the coke drawers while they were at
work. Sheriff Wilhelm and deputies
arrested him, when about fifty women
assembled and demanded his release.
The officers warned the women not to
interfere
Then the whole crowd of curSing,
screaming women charged the squad
of men, attacking them with every
conceivable missile and weapon except
firearms. Blood flowing from a num-
Der of the men in a moment and when
some of them had been knocked down
they were forced to fight back
Mrs. Fetzko, the leader of the furies,
rushed at Deputy Sheriff Richards
with an uplifted axe. He evaded the
blow and knocked her senseleSs with
a revolver. A cry was raised that
she was killed and the bedlam of saw
age excitement cannot be described.
She revived after twenty minutes.
When she struck at Richards the
other deputies threw off restraint. A
number of women were felled with
blows from maces others stabbed with
bayonetts or beaten with the stocks
of Winchesters and the sheriff had
great difficulty in preventing the men
from shooting them down. The sit
uatiOn tonight is alarming.

Washington, April 21.-The Work

The resolutions recite the prosperity
of labor under a system of protec-

Nancy Is FREE.
LIEUTENANT ACQUITTED OF THE
CHARGE OF MURDER.
Kisses His Mother When the Verdict
Is Announced-Officers Con-

Chicago, April 21.-The jury in the
Nancy murder trial this evening
brought in a verdict of acquittal. On
the first ballot the vote stood ten to
two for acquittal, the minority being
for a verdict of manslaugihter. after
a heated argument the jury returned
for additional instructions and quickly
rendered a verdict after receiving
them.
When Judge Gosscup read 1--WE find
the defendant, James A. Nancy, not
guilty" Lieutenant Nancy turned and
kissed his mother, who was overcome
with emotion. In the meantime pam
demOium reigned. Officers crowded

that, according to the program, New
York is to disappear under a tidal
wave next July or August. while
Florida and California will probably
become islands as the result of sub
marine earthquake.
The most unpleasant feature about
these prophecies is, as already init
mated, the fact that they are not pro-
phecies at all, strictly speaking, but
scientific predictions based upon scien-
tiic investigations into mundane anat-
omy. To put his theories in as simple
a fashion as possible, it
may be said that DR.. Falb
believes first of all that
the deep down interior Of the. earth is
filled with a molten mass which is sub
ject to ebb and flow just like the
waters of the ocean.
Between the earth and this molten
sheol, which is slowly cooling, there is
only a shell of an average of eighteen
miles in thickness, upon which we
mortalS live and love and die. In
some places the earth's crust is thicker
than in others. Where IL is thinnest
the confined terrible forces Of the
under world, chiefly in the form Of gas,
seek constantly to escape, and when
the pressure Of the atmosphere around
the earth is lowest the gas finds an
outlet, usually in well-deined districts,
generally through the volcanic vent
holes.
But beyond the constant pressure Of
gas Prof. Falb has the theory that the
sheolic molten mass beneath us is
subject to the influence Of the moon,
which produces waves, and OCCASION
ally great tidal waves, which sweep
round the inner crust of the world with
terrific force, shaking the earth in it's
passage Prof. Falb publishes every
year a list Of the days on which he
expects seismic commissions. These he
calls critical days'-and these days
are those when the moon approaches
given by Prof. Falb for 1894 are stated
in the order Of maximum disturbance
as follows: Aug. 80 Sept. %, Feb. 20,
March 81, Aug. /, April 6, Jan. II,
May s. and Oct o. Thus the most
serious disturbance may be looked for
Aug. 80 and the slightest Oct. %.
In connection with the great Scien-
tific contest between mother earth and
the comet which, to use phrase cur
rent in scientific circles, is to be pulled
off, i'll 1899, it is recalled that Jan.
Il, GIG, ten people were killed in China
by the fall of meteor. In the year
1913 thirty-five villages in SaXony were
destroyed by the fall of meteor.
and many men and animals killed.
! September 4, 1911, one man and four
animals were destroyed by falling
meteors near Crema. November 4,
| 1749, a meteor struck the mast of a
ship that was crossing the Atlantic,
killing five seamen. Each of these
cases can be regarded as the fall of
a small comet upon our world.
1t is a comfort to know that some
| Vienna scientists believe the comet
is going to get the worst of it, and
point to the fact that the comet Lexell,
when it went too near to Jupiter,
was thrown off it's course and sent
flying out of our planetary SYSTEM

Athens, April 21.-There has been
great loss of life in addition to destruc-
ton of property by earthquake shocks
which still continue. The inhabitants
everywhere have been alarmed today
by fresh shocks and it is feared that
the worst has not yet happened, as
the weather continues close and misty.
The shocks today injured the north
ern wing of the palace here in several
places. A large stone fell out of the
gate of Haddrian But the general
damage to this city and Piraeus, the
port of Athens, was slight and there
has been no loss of life here.

event which Emperor William was the
first to announce yesterday at COburg-
namely the betrOthal of Grand Duke
Nicholas, cZarowitch of Russia, to
Princess AliX, of Hesse, is looked upon
as cementing the new entente between
Russia and Germany and bringing a
prolonged period of European peace.
There is no doubt that the beTothal
is directly traceable to the influence
of Emperor William.

THE MARKETS.
REPORTS FROM THE LEADING
TRADE CENTERS.
Liquidation of May Wheat Interests
the Feature-COrn Declines and
Pork Is Lower.

Chicago, April 23--Lquidation by
May wheat holders has been the
feature. Long stuff has been coming
out all day and the indications are
that a considerable line yet remains to
be liquidated. Crop news is more
favorable. A little rain has fallen in
California and it is hoped this is the
forerunner of more. The visible sup
ply decreased moderately and the
amount on ocean passage increased
last week. The demand from abroad
does not increase with the decline in
prices, as it should to insure a better
market. The liquidation of the May
interest is expected to last a few days
longer. The July premium has
widened to lac and is likely to
show a still greater difference.
Corn and Oats-Have declined mOder-
ately in sympathy with wheat and
lack of outside orders. The conditions
with regard to corn are still favor
able to holders, but speculation is so
light that they have no effect on prices
at present
PrOviSiOns-PackerS offered product
moderately, apparently for the purpose
of catching some stop loss orders. The
market is nervous and advances
quickly on the appearance of buying
orders.
