CHATS WITH GYPSIES.
A Few Phrases With Which to Break Down
the RomanY Reserve.

The gypsy is generally talkative when
you have broken down the barriers of
reserve For the benefit of the novice
will, however, remark that policemen
(prastramengrosl and hedgehogs (hotch-
iwichis) are both good subjects for dis
cussion. The gypsy does not break the
law more often than his neighbors, but
policeman, as the embodiment of all
that is orderly and conventional, is an
tipathetic to him. AS for hedgehogs,
they are cooked and eaten by the Rom
any, who are wonderfully clever at
tracking and capturing these very shy
animals. The other day one of my gypsy
friends informed me that as a cure Tor
deafness there was nothing to equa
little melted hedgehog's fat applied TO
the ear.
The following few words and phrases,
spelled as Theoretically as possible, may
be useful to any one paying his first visit
to Romany camp. By adroitly intro
ducing them into his conversation the
visitor may succeed in avoiding that ap-
pearance of inexperience and greenness
which might tempt his hosts to receive
him as an inquisitive gentle rather
than as a future ''Romany Raj"

LUCKY AFTER ALL.
A Cold BIooded Murderer ES-
capes Capital Punishment.
The Slayer of Geo. w. Sayres at
Portland, Ore, Found Guilty of
Murder in the Second Degree.

By the Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Or, Dec. 12.-The trial of
Bunco Kelley for the murder OF Geo.
W. Sayres on September 26th was COM
pleted today by the jury returning a
verdict of guilty of murder in the second
degree.
The evidence in the case was mostly
circumstantial. The murder of Sayres
was one of the coolest blooded ones in
the history of the city.
On the night of September 26 he was
called from his house at Fulton Park.
about O'Clock. Nothing more was
seen of him until few days later when
his dead body was found floating in the
river.
Suspicion was directed at once to-
wards Bunco Kelly who with several
others was placed under arrest. All
except Kelly were subsequently re-
leased. Kelly's arrest was followed by
that of X. N. Stevens, a we'll known
lawyer of this city, whose trial begins
tomorrow.
1t is charged that Stevens hired
Kelly to put Sayres out of the way for
money consideration. The motive is
found in the fact that Stevens was an
attorney in some law suits in which he
was opposed to the interests of Sayres.

PrOSpeCtOr.

ward Is a Wonder.
The Unfortunate Man iSJohn Emery
About Whom Almost Moth
ing Is Known Here.

John Emery, prospector, made an
awful and fatal mistake yesterday
morning. He took dose of aconite
and died within two hours.
Emery bought the poison the evening
before at Eschman's drug store, and In
tended to use it in doctoring a sick
mule. About o'clock yesterday morn
ing, having worked with the mule ali
night, he lay down on his bunk.
He had been suffering from stomach
trouble and soon after lying down the
pain REQUIRED. He kept a bottle of
of Davis pain killer in hox near his
bed. and arising in the darkness he
went to the box for relief. He had put
the bottle of aconite into the same box
ane fate directed his hand to it. He
took a swallow and lay down again, but
almost instantly the poison began its
work. He struck light and saw the
skull and rossbones label on the bottle.
This happened at the Five Points
corral and he hurried down town,
reaching the drug store in dying ,eondi-
ton. He threw his weight against the
door awakening the night clerk, Irwin
Furl, and attracting the attention of
James Rennie at the Cabinet, next
door. Emery was vet able to describe
the circumstances of his mistake. a
physician was sent for and hypoderinic
injections OF nitro-glycerne and other
powerful stimulants were administered
without avail. The attack CT the
aconite upon the heart had been too
long continued. The agony Of the dy-
floor writhing. At last the pain seemed
to pass away but his life was passing at
the same time and shortly before 5
O'Clock he was out of pain and dead.
Justice Johnstone was notified imme
diately. He impaneled a coroner's
jury made up of J. C. Ryan, James
Rennle, James. Mcnamara, A. ]. Kent,
A. G. Wilkins and H. 0. Eatherton.
At the inquest held later in the day,
Irwin Furl James Rennie and DIR.
Dameron were the only witnesses as no
one at the corral had been aroused.
Emery's body was taken to Randall &
Davis and prepared for burial. The
interment will proba bly, take place this
afternoon.
Almost nothing is known Of Emery
here. He cane to the Five Points cor
raj three days ago and from the circum-
stance that poll tax receipt from
Yavapai county of the date of this year
was found among his effects 1t is known
that he came from the north.
Beside the poll tax receipt there were
found bill OF sale for the mule signed
by Andy Weimert, and $3.50 in coin
and greenbacks.
The dead man was about forty years
old.

RATTLESNAKES AS PETS.
From Indiana Comes New Version
of an Old Story.

CoLUMBUs, Ind. Dec. 12-All this
occurred near Scottsburg: Dennis
Richey has large rattlesnake he calls
"She." Mr.. Richey and family live on
Finley's Knob. He captured the snake
and its mate year ago. He kept them
in close cage to prevent harm. Last
Sunday "She" crept from her cage
while The family was asleep. AT
2 a. m. Mrs. Richey was awak-
ened by the crying of her baby.
She reached over and there was the
sound of something dropping from the
cradleto the floor. Mr.. Richey, also
hearing an unusual noise, arose from
his bed and started to investigate. In
doing so he stepped upon "She," which
sounded it's warning, but strangely did
not strike. As the snake wriggled up
on the floor, Mr.. Richey, without
forked stick or gloves, caught her and
returned her to the cage. Then he
found that Its mate, jun bo," had also
escaped, and after a search he found
the rattler and caught it in the same
manner. Mr.. and Mrs. Richey have
absolutely no fear OF their pets and de-
clare that there is no danger of being
bitten by them.

CHICAGO, Dec. IA POST" Wash
ington special says: Word has reached
here that vast cattle interests, repre-
senting an invested capital of not less
than 500, 900 900. are about to grapple
in death lock struggle with the sugar
trust and that the direction of the
fighting is to be lodged with P. D.
Armour, Nelson Morris and E. S. Swift,
the Chicago kings of the meat trade.
The United States senate is to be the
battle ground, and unless the program
miscarries the contest between these
colossal interests will furnish the
crowning sensation of the short session
of congress.
Free sugar is a necessity for the free
importation of meat products to the
great consuming markets of Europe.
An importation of duty on sugar was
promptly met by the raising of an en-
barge against American beef by Ger
many and Denmark, and the spirit Of
retaliation is being encouraged by other
foreign nations with menacing fea-
lures.
Inc purpose Is W 20 aG tle sugar GruSI
IN the senate at every opportunity,
even at the risk of blocking all kinds OF
legislation and forcing an extraordinary
session.
The theory upon which this PROPOSE
is based is that the meat interests are
of more Importance than sugar, Mica
ragua canal, appropriation or anything
else that can come up, and that con-
gress must protect them.
In this fight the meat men feel that
they can command the aggressive sup
port OF the senators from every western
and southern state and put up COM
bination that will be invincible.

THEY WILL RESUME
The Local Factories o, the United
States Glass Company
WILL START With NON-UNION MEN.
The Date of Resumption is Not
Known. According to a Representa-.
tive OF the Company-The Glass
workers Say 1t is an ImpossIbiIity,
as the Men Cannot DO Secured.

Yesterday there was report In cir.
culation throughout the city that the
glass strike which has been on for the
last two years between the United
States Glass Company and the Amer
lean Flint Glass Workers Union showed
symptoms OF being adjusted. The re-
port was thoroughly Investigated aud
seems to be without authenticity.
A gentleman connected with the
United States Company, and one who
is In every way likely to be coguiEant OF
the arrangements governing the work.
lngs OF that company, said that the
general office at Pittsburgh reported
the fact that on Monday six members
OF the glassworkers' union had returned
to work in Pittsburgh aud Glassport
and on Tuesday three more had left the
ranks OF the strikers aud returned TO
work. This was regarded as an indica-
ton that the organization OF the strtk.
ers was being broken and that general
break would follow.
The same gentleman, In answer TO q
question as to the probable starting OF
the local United States factories, said
that they would be started with nom
union men, but how soon was not
known. The company has now but
three idle plants, one at Greensburg,
Pa, and the two here. The probability
10 that the ones here will be the next to
resume.
The local glassworkers said that their
organization In Wheeling was as strong
now as at the beginning. The local
organization has not received informa-
ton OF any break in the Pittsburgh
union, as they would in the event OF a
general return Of the strikers. One
gentleman spoke OF the resumption OF
the local factories with non-union men,
and said that such had been the current
rumor for some time. but that the men
could not be secured to run the works.
AZ far as the local glassworkers are
concerned the strike is not broken and
will not be in the immediate future.
They are also of the opinion that II any
thing like break among the Pittsburgh
men had occurred on Monday the union
here would have been notified.
