are still fresh in the public mind. Mr..
Smell was one of the Wealthiest resi-
dents Of the West Side. Early on the
morning Of Feb. 8, probably about 2
o'clock Mr. Smell heard somebody NOV
ing about downstairs. He took re-
volver and started to investigate. AS
he went downstairs the burglars, or
whoever the two men were who had
broken into the house, came into the
hall and Mr.. Smell fired at one of them.
Mr.. Smell was determined man and q
three cornered fight began. Probably
he wounded one Of his asSailants be-
fore two of their bullets entered his
body at vital parts, killing him instant
ly. Extraordinary as it may seem the
other inmates Of the house heard moth
ing of the fusillade. Mr.. SHELLS body
was not discovered till daylight. The
investigation Of the murder, like the
deed itself, was fraught with mystery.
A great hue and cry was raised about
Willie Tascott, who may have had some
connection with the crime, but whose
actual participation in it is now doubt
ed by many. A notorious crook named
james Gillian before he died in Jail is
alleged to have confessed that he was
one of the murderers Of Mr.. Smell, and
he had before that given an attorney
a full description of the deed, which
TALES with many known facts. But
$780, 900 reward was offered for Tascott,
and every detective in the land was
on his trail, but he is still at large.
The Smell murder, in short, remains the
greatest mystery Of it's kind in the his
tory of Chicago.
A much more melancholy memory
clings to the beautiful home Of the late

BRICK FOR THE SEWERS.
Engineer Sam Gray's Visit to
Monterey.

Monterey.
Consulting Engineer S. NJ. Gray
has returned from Monterey, Mex
leo, where he went few days ago
in company with City Engineer
Pancoast, Mr.. Truehart and Con-
tractor Marshall, for the purpose Of
inspecting the bricks manufac-
tured by the Monterey Pressed
Brick company with the view OF
using them in the sewer cOnstruc.
ton here. Mr.. Gray was seen yes
terday by a LIGHT reporter and
asked concerning his trip. He
replied that he and the other men,
bers of the party had made a
thorough examination Of the brick
and they found that it comes up to
specifications in every respect. He
stated that it is a splendid brick
for sewer purposes and that great
care and pains are taken in its
manufacture.
"By the selection OF this Monte
rev brick for use in the sewer con-
struction, there is removed the
great cause for delay in the pro-
gress of their work with which the
contractors have had to contend"
said Mr.. Gray. "The city authori-
ties and contractors will give the
preference to home manufactured
brick. all things being equal, but
the difficulty has been, Of our get
ting brick in sufficient quantity
which would meet the require
meuts of the specifications from
San Antonio, hence our visit to
Monterrey
Mr.. Gray stated that they greatly
enjoyed their visit to Monterey,
and that they were treated with
great courtesy by Mr.. J. A. Robert
son.

Considerable complaint is made
against the San Antonio Street
Railway company in not paying
attention to their passengers. The
other day a prominent gentleman
OF this city hailed the Springs car
going north, on corner OF Soledad

man looked at him and laughed,
but did not stop. The gentleman
commented upon the motorman's
actions to o friend OF his standing

Railway company's Office and lodge
a complaint. Here he was met with
deaf ear, as everyone in the office
would not even give him hearing.

CYCLE BREVITIES

AuA iSA W S1ioSos
BY the way, cycle tubing will
be heavier next year anyhow.
The bloomer craze is not as bad
in this city as it was recently.
A bicycle journal says milk is
the best stimulant for anyone In
training.
The Jockey Club track is, in
use daily by wheelmen trying
their speed.
All the roads leading out east,
past the cemeteries are in good
condition for wheelmen.
An aluminium bicycle with an
electric motor attached for propel-
ling it is the latest novelty in
Paris.
Mr.. Chas. e. Abbey has become
a cycle convert and it is said he
has ordered a wheel made with
extra size tubing and frame for his
use.
Residents in the suburbs have
taken largely to the wheel, prefer
ring it to reach their places Of
business, to the unreliable trolley
car.
A large number of Uncle Sans
boys at the post have wheels.
They can be seen sitting all
around the galleries Of the soldiers
quarters.
1t is noticed large majority of
the young lady stenographers and
bookkeepers have taken to the
wheel and their ranks are increas-
ing daily.
Moonlight spins will soon be in
order again as the moonlight
nights are approaching. All the
boulevards are in good condition
for cyclists.
If it was not for the fine flints
that cover the surface, and endan.
ger the safety Of the tires, East
Commerce street would be good
stretch for bicycle practice.
The Western Union messenger
boys have an hour or go of fun
riding around Alamo plaza, after
work hours almost every night
and on Saturday nights especial
ly.
Walter Doerr of the Arey Doerr
company, and Emil Phillippi leave
their Office, 5l2 f. Houston street
this morning at 7 o'clock for Gal
weston on their wheels. They go
by way of Houston.
Excursions to the different mis-
sions awheel are becoming quite
popular, and it Is said several
parties for moonlight spins to
these historic places have been
arranged for the near future.
The total membership of the
l.. A. w. is 30,250. 1t would be
much larger il the devotees of the
wheel would appreciate the good
it has done in promoting good
fellowship among wheelmen.
An exchange says girls, while
riding bicycle should wear gloves
of a size larger than ordinary, as
they allow more free use of the
hands. 1t also recommends those
without buttons, which simply
pull over the hands.
Some of the local dealers, who
have sold wheels to messenger
boys on the installment plan,
at the same time agreeing to keep
them in repair for a year, are
having quite a time OF it, as
some of the boys used their wheels
very roughly, and are keeping
the dealers busy repairing them.
II all the wheelmen in the city
who take an interest in good roads
would get together and organize
a club, and all pull together, in
stead Of splitting up into two
different organizations and work
ing against each other as they
now are, they could soon have one
OF the strongest organizations in
the south, and after this is done it
would be an easy matter to get
good streets for riding on as we'll

San Antonio is plentifully supplied
with long boulevards. All they
need is a little smoothing down.

EUROPE is IN A PANIC.
Disasters On the Bourses
Only Prevented by the
RothSchildS.

London, Nov. 1.-The critical position
of the different European bourses during
the week has compelled discount brokers
as a measure of p~recaution to advance
money rates slightly. The week on the
Stock exchange proved so disastrous that
he settlement beginning today is antici-
pated with greatest anxiety. 1t is almost
certain that some failures will then be
announced. The fall of London consols
and other gilt-edged securities has been
all the greater because they have al
ready been forced abnormally high. The
decline of prices in almost all of the specu-
lative markets range from 2 to 3 per
cent. Dealings i'll mining securities are
very limited. Comparisons with the
prices of a month ago show how serious
the fall has been, even in the best re-
puted mining stocks. In the foreign
markets the greater collapse has been
in Turkish and Italian securities. Even
if no further troubles develop it is i'm
probable that any noticeable recovery
will take place this year.
The Paris correspondent of the Times
says that it is understood that only the
Intervention of the Rothschilds on Satur-
day prevented the panic at Paris from
becoming positively disastrous.
A dispatch to the Daily News from
Berlin says that but for the assistance
rendered by the Rothschilds on Saturday
bourse prices would have closed still
weaker. The panic could not have been
worse on the news of a general European
war

ANARCHISTS WILL BE CREMATEDe
Row with Managers of Waldhei1n Gene

terry, Chicago.
Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 9.-The bones of the
Anarchists hanged for the Haymarket
massacre are not to rest in peace. The
bodies of August Spies, Albert Parsons,
Louis Lingg, Adolph Fischer and George
Engel, now lying in Waldheim cemetery,
will be eXhumed and cremated. The
ashes will be reinterred somewhere-it is
not known where-but in a spot to which
those who hold the memory of these men
dear may visit when they will.
This was the suggestion made at a
meeting of societies and trades unions of
Chicago in Greif's hall last night and
which was cheered with stormy vehe-
mence. y score of speakers took it up
and each in his turn was greeted with
cries of approval. There was not a dis
senting voice. The idea of such action
was the outcome of the decision of off,
GERS of Waldheim cemetery in refusing
to permit the annual demonstration this
year at the grave of the dead Anarchists
on the anniversary of their execution.
The demonstration had been arranged to
take place tomorrow afternoon.
AT the conclusion of the meeting it
was announced that there would be a
demonstration nevertheless. 1t will be
held III a hall on West Twelfth street.
Johann Most and Lucy Parsons will be
the star attractions.

REPORT ON FL NAVY.
Commodore Melville Makes
Number of Recommen-
datiOnS.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 9.-In his an
nual report to the secretary of the navy,
Commodore Melville, engineer in charge
of the navy, gives an interesting sum-
mary of the progress during the past
year in steam engineering, n makes
some valuable suggestions for the inn
provement of the naval service. He says
that a series of tests is now being made
at the New York nav yard on one of
the Names torpedo launches to deter
min the value of liquid fue and it
is believed that much valuable informa-
ton will be derived therefrom.
Speaking Of water-tube boilers, he
says that although great progress has
been made in their development, no
single type has yet made it's appearance
that car be regarded altogether satisfac-
tory, and therefore the bureau has not
recommended their adoption in the larg-
er and more important vessels, believing
1T better for the present at least to con-
fine them to torpedo boats, gunboats and
the smaller cruisers.
AS the Boston navy yard is now in pos
session Of a drydock in fine order, it is
repair station. The Norfolk yard is also
in need Of additional machine shops, as
those now in use are not equipped for
the handling of heavy machinery.
Attention is called to the fact that the
naval academy is not graduating engi-
neer cadets in sufficient numbers to sup
ply the vacancies in the corps caused by
deaths and r~etirements, and it is said
that if the number cannot be increased,
recourse must be had to the graduates of
the technical schools and colleges of the
country.
The report concludes with a suggestion
that the navel station at Key West be
Immediately put in shape to perform
naval work and that a number of power
tools be added to the equipment of the

DEFIES THE POWERS.
SuItan's Decoration of Certain Of
fiCerS is a Snub to Great
Britain.

Constantinople, Nov. 9.-The official
Gazette announces that Bahri Pasha,
who was dismissed from his official posi-
ton in pursuance to the representations
of the British ambassador, Sir Phillip
Currie, owing to his ill-treatment of Ar
menians, has been decorated with the
grand Gordon of the Osmanieh order "as
a reward for his good services"
This step upon the part of the Sultan
is considered most significant. 1t is not
only an open and distinct mark of ap-
prevail of the ill-treatment of Armenians,
but it is a deliberate Snub to Great Brit
ain, particularly as in addition to the
decoration bestowed upon Bahri Pasha,
tie official Gazette publishes a long list
Of the names of Turkish officials in Ar
menia who have been decorated by the
Sultan for their good services" In fact
it almost seems as if the Sultan is openly
defying the powers.
1t is understood that the vail of
Aleppo, who is to be succeeded by the
eX-grand vizier, Kiamil Pasha, was dis
missed IN onseQuenc OF the representa-
lions Of the United States minister to
Turkey, Alexander w. Terrell, because
the vail refused to permit the United
States consular agent at Aleppo to visit
a naturalized American citizen, Guend-
jam, of Armenian origin, who had been
imprisoned for life. Mr.. Terrell obtained
permission from two grand viZiers for
the consular agent to visit Guendjiam,
but the vail persisted in his refusal. to
permit the prisoner to be seen. The
eventual result was that Mr.. Terrell
made the strongest representations to the
Porte.
Guendjiam is now on his way to Con-
stantinople to be tried before Mr.. Ter
rell.
Eleven .Kurds charged with the muir
der of Frank G.. LEM of P~ittsburg,

in the presence of the British consul
in the absence of an American consul.
their arrest being to a certain degree
due to the search which William A.
Sachtelben, who represented a New
York publication, made for the missing
rider.
Over 100 Armenians were arrested
yesterday at STEAMBOAT and all the in
quiries made as to the cause of their i'm

tory answer.

Half the Yield to Come.
Duluth, Mimi, Nov. 9.-Someone sent
word to Chicago yesterday that the rush
of wheat in the Northwest was about
over. There is absolutely nothing to
indicate this. 1t may be true of Mime
apolis, whose territory must be getting
pretty we'll cleaned up, but SO far as
Duluth is concerned it seems likely a
