Miilers Organize to Decrease the Output
and Increase the Price.
CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-The initial steps
looking toward the curtailment of the
-four output by six weeks suspension
of the merchant mills of the country
were taken at a meeting of millers at
the Auditorium Saturday. The meet
ing consisted of twelve men, who were
chosen by vote, and in whose selection
500 millers, representing daily output
of $50, 900 barrels, were invited to take
part.
The committee was unanimous in
agreeing that the price of -four was
below a profit-yielding point and that
some concerted action by the trade was
necessary to bring up the price to a
profit point. An arbitrary increase in
the price was given little consideration,
as the custom mills scattered all over
the country would not be brought into
line. The reduction of stocks was
regarded as the best method of tending
to an increase in the price. An agree
ment was then formed to shut down
mills for period of six weeks within
three months beginning December 10.
The agreement will be in force when
mills representing a production of
100000 barrels day have signed the
same.

quakes In Southern Italy.
ROME, Nov. 19.-The earthquakes in
Sicily and southern Italy caused con-
siderable damage to the telegraph lines
and details of the phenomena are com
ing to hand slowly. 1t is known, how
ever, the province of Reggie di Gala
bria suffered the severest damage by
the seismic disturbances. Little dam
age was done in Reggie, the capital of
the province. but there was great loss
of life and much property damage else
where in the province. Seventeen
communes were involved in the dis
turbances. the centers of which were
in the vicinity of Palmi. 81 miles north
west of Reggie, and Bagnara, on the
gulf of Gioja, almost directly opposite
Punta del Faro, Sicily. The village of
Sac Procopio, near Palmi, was almost
entirely destroyed. Here sixty persons
were killed. Forty-seven of these met
their death in church. to which they
fled for refuge. Their bodies are still
in the ruins.
At Bagnara seven persons were
killed. Eight lost their lives at Ma
merlino and San Eufema, being crushed
to death, while many Others were in
jured. The inhabitants of these places
are obliged to camp in the open air. In
the Calabrian towns of Triparni and
Mileto many houses were destroyed
and number of persons injured.
Sixty lives were lost by the falling of
the church at San ProepiO.

AN AWFUL CRIME.
a Bohemian Kills His Mother, Sis
ter and Brother.
THEN HE CUTS HIS OWN THROAT.
Before His Suicide the Murderer Saturated
the Floor and Furniture with Coal
OIL and Set the House
on Fire.

MEXICO. Mo-, Nov. 20.-Early yester-
day morning horrible tragedy oc-
Cured near Wellsville, little village
is miles east of this place. Thomas
Portercheck, Bohemian, presumably
in a fit of insanity, killed his mother, a
sister and brother with an AK. An
other sister escaped through window
while he was Staying his mother.
After completing the wholesale
slaughter the maniac threw lamp on
the floor, lighted the spilled oil with a
match and committed suicide.
Sunday afternoon Portercheck was
discovered acting strangely and gave
indications that his mind was deranged.
He labored under the hallucination
that his neck was broken and insisted
that physician be summoned. His
relatives endeavored to convince him
of his error and tried to get him to bed.
He insisted on sitting up all night.
Late Sunday night the family re-
tired, leaving Thomas in a rocking
chair. At 3 o'clock Monday morning
his sister Mary was awakened by an
agonizing scream from her mother.
When she emerged from her bedroom
she found her mother lying on the
floor, while Thomas was stand
ing over her brandishing an AK.
The floor was covered with blood,
and from an adjoining room the
other brother, James, could be
heard moaning in the agony of death.
The girl ran through the house, and
finding all the doors locked. opened a
window and jumped to the ground.
She remained at the window, and as
her brother Thomas made no attempt
to follow her, she stood and watched
him at his murderous work. The maniac
seized a can of coal oil and after pouring
it over the floor and furniture, set it on
fire. He then drew a butcher knife
across his throat and fell by the side of
his mother. The poor girl attempted
to extinguish the flames, but they
spread so quickly that in less than ten
minutes the house was a mass of fire.
The screams of the girl awakened the
neighbors and they rushed to the scene,
but the flames had already finished the
work which the maniac had commenced.
When the blazing timbers had
cooled sufficiently to allow search
of the ruined house four bodies were
found blackened and charred. They
were those of Mrs. Portercheck, her
youngest daughter, and her sons.
James and Thomas. Investigation
showed that the mother, daughter and
son James had been horribly mutilated
by an AK. 1t is believed that Thomas
had first killed his brother, then his
sister and mother. 1t was probably
his intention to kill his sister Mary
also. The mother had been an invalid
for twelve years, being confined to her
bed during that time.

tians by the Turks.
LONDON, Nov. ia dispatch to the
Times from Vienna says letter has
been received there from Smyrna re-
porting that Zeki Pasha, Turkish
marshal, with detachment of Nizams
and field battery, massacred 1000 Ar
menians at Sassun. The bodies of the
dead were left unburied and their pres
ence has caused an outbreak of cholera.
Many Christians are reported to have
fled by secret paths across the Russian
frontier.
Numerous appeals have been made
by the Armenians to the British for
eign office. The last appeal received
says the Armenians do not wish to see
more of their territory annexed by
Russia, but if Great Britain is unable
to help them they will be compelled to
look to Russia. under whose yoke they
would be better off than under the
yoke of Turkey.
The sultan has decided to send a COM
mission composed of three members of
the military household and one civilian
to Sassun for the purpose of making
an impartial inquiry into the outrages
on Armenians.

THE NAPOLEON REVIVAL.

why the Emperor l. the Most Popular
Character In History.
Within the past year there has been
a revival of interest in the career of
Napoleon Bonaparte that is almost
phenomenal. In literature he has fig
ured in the pages of memoirs and rem
iniscences by those who came into
more and less intimate contact with
him. In art not only has he been a po-
tent inspiration to modern painters
and sculptors, but he has made price
less all pictorial records of his time. In
the drama he poses as the most pictur-
esque figure that has been brought
upon the stage within the century.
Personal relies of the man are held as
sacred and beyond all price. AS Paul
Bourget aptly says. Napoleon has
hypnotized the French people again"
In France the sting of defeat after
the Franco-Prussian war turned the
thoughts of all to their period of great
est glory, and so it needed but time to
see Napoleon enshrined as an idol. An
equally logical explanation is found
for the most notable feature of the Ma
poleon revival in this country.
The Century's life of the emperor was
projected five or six years ago. before
anyone could have foreseen the pres
ent attitude of the public mind. 1t
was undertaken solely with the idea
that Napoleon was one of the greatest,
most forceful and picturesque charac-
ters in the entire range of history, and
that hitherto he had been inadequate
ly represented. For that reason Prof.
William NJ. Sloane. the greatest Amer
lean student of French history, was
commissioned to write the life. and
his years of study among unpublished
archives have brought out his COM
pleted labor at the most opportune mo-
ment. And Prof Sloane shows ms
new Napoleon, devourer of books, an
unsuccessful literary aspirant, an inef-
fectual Corsican political agitator. but
the new Napoleon certainly makes the
old Napoleon more easily compre-
| hended.
