He Goes to Penal Servitude for Life
for Blowing UP the Cafe.

Paris, July 26.-Meunier, the hump
backed anarchist, and the associate of
Francois and Ravachol, was placed on
tral to-day for having blown up the Cafe
Very in the spring of 1892. Meunier
is supposed to have blown up the cafe to
avenge Ravachol, who had been arrested
there by the police with the aid of Very,
the proprietor, and L'Herot, the waiter
Meunier was found guilty, and late this
evening it was announced that he had
been sentenced to penal servitude for life.
The jury admitted the plea of fextenuat-
ing circumstances. Meunier evidently
had prepared himself for the death SEN
tence, and, after the judge ceased speak
ing, shouted traFically: Courage, cour-
age comrades. This state of society can
not last long. Death to tyrants. Long
live anarchy"

STEEL TRADE IMPROVING.
Pig Iron Production Hampered by
Lack of Fuel.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 26,--On the whole,
the prospects in the steel trade are better
this week-than they last.
Throughout the east the short fuel sup
ply is interfering with pig iron produc-
tion. The coal supply is inadequate, and
coke shipments are irregular.
The demand for finished iron is little
better, and there is more call for struc-
tural material.
Sheet iron shows more activity than
any other line of the market, and slightly
better prices of small lots for quick de-
livery are reported.
Throughout the west and south there
appears to be some little improvement in

One pleasant day not long ago Mr.

ana TOOK a trip down to one of the islands
on tne coast for days sport. Some
IuesIions were asked of an old darkey on
the island about the best fishing grounds.
and IN his replies he always addressed
Mr.. Beckett as Col. Lester.

"A week later MIR Beckett had almost

Here what isln asked Col Lester, as
he glared at the five CANNES in amaze

1t took fully fifteen minutes of Col. Les
ter's valuable time to explain to the as
tonished negro that he had never seen

dubious about1the matter, but Col Lester

A MIDNIGHT RACKET.
Chippewa Square Excited by a Chase
After Wife Beaten.

Great excitement was created in Chip
pewa square this morning shortly after
midnight by the arrest Of a negro wife
beaten
George Fishburn and his wife have been
living in the rear of No. 1872 Hull street
They have not been getting along very
pleasantly of late, and Fish burn suspected
his wife of unwifely conduct. He
determined to teach her lesson.
1t was midnight when she came
in last night, and locked her
self in her room. Fishburn broke
down the door to the room and proceeded
to chastise the woman in an unmerciful
manner. Her cries aroused the neighbor-
hood aud there were calls for the police.
Fearing arrest Fishburn ran out of the
house and across the square to Perry
street, where he entered the yard Of No
III through the gate. The noise he made
aroused the occupants and they ran out
to see what the trouble was. Fishburn
jumped over the partition wall into
the yard of No. 119 adjoining,
badly frightening the lady of the house
who had come out in the yard on hearing
the noise next door When he found that
he would not be allowedto remain there
he scaled the fence into the adjoining
yard at Bull and Perry streets. Over 200
people had gathered by this time and
there was the greatest kind of excite
ment, women screaming and shouting for
the police. Several of the latter were
on the scene, however.
Desperately frightened at the
storm he had aroused Fishburn
scaled the yard fence and started on a
run across the square. Two or three
shots were fired at him, but whether by
policemen or others in the party is not
known. He was not hit. however, and
surrendered himself to Policeman Jerni-
gan, who landed him in the barracks.
