This report was damaging, and there
was a claimor that Marshall be taken

Carbondale. Aug. 9.-Mrs. William
Passmore. Of Park street. received the
news yesterday that her daughter,
Lavenia Tucker. was seriously i'll at
Burnwood, a small village In Susque-
hanna county. from the effects of a
beating which she had received at the
hands OF an enraged mother.
Mrs. Passmore went at once to Burn
wood. where she found her daughter
In precarious condition.
Miss Tucker Is a school teacher in
the village and has always gotten
along we'll with her pupils with the ex-
ception Of one, a girl named Carpenter.
Miss Carpenter had been very annoy
Ing to Miss Tucker and repeatedly gave
her a great deal Of trouble. One after
noon Miss Carpenter was called upon to
recite, but refused to do so. Miss Tucker
tried to get her to obey, but was finally
forced to resort to the rod. She used
a small switch and hit the girl upon
the hand.
The girl went home Immediately
after school was dismissed and related
the story to her mother. enlarging and
exaggerating the affair it IL supposed.
Mrs. Carpenter was very much enraged
and being naturally of hot temper
set about planning some means Of re-
venge.
She prevailed upon another woman to
accompany her and proceeded to the
woods near the school house. Miss
Tucker had to pass the place on her
way from the school house and as
she did so the two women sprung from
the bushes and stopped her.
Miss Tucker tried to escape, but they
were too many for her and she could
do nothing. Mrs. Carpenters compan-
Ion held her while she proceeded to beat
her upon the head and body with an
umbrella.
Left Unconscious.
Finally. being satisfied, they left Miss
Tucker unconscious upon the ground
and went home.

Mr.. Passmore announces his inten-

expected to camp during the night and
sIend today in fishing.
The beat was well stocked with pro-
visions and liquor and the men had
been drinking before they left. Wag-
ner rowed the boat until the party ar
rived opposite Spruce street wharf,
shortly after midnight. He then en-
desvored to change places with Cham

said today concerning the report OF
mob violence In Tarsus:
1.-The st. Pauls American Institute at
Tarsus was instituted five or six years
ago by Colonel Shepard, of New York.
The president Of the institute now, who
has been there three years, Is the Rev.
DR.. r. ID. Christie. The institute does
not belong to our society. know there
has been considerable trouble among
the students, and during the past year
and last winter several of them were
arrested and taken out Of the school
for being implicated in some revolu-
tionary movement. In fact. the whole
district surrounding Tarsus IL hotbed
Of discomfort. I will give you an ex-
ample:
Eat the institute of which ! was su-
perirtendent for number Of years in
that vicinity, the students were Ar
menians. and every class day one Of
the orations was given in the Turkish
language as compliment to the Turk
ish officials who were among the invit-
ed guests.
Refused ANYTHING Turkish.
This year. however all Of the eight
graduates refused to deliver the Turk
ish Grafton. and the president, knowing
how tender the subject was to both the
Turkish government and the Armenian
students Of the institute, himself wrote
out an Grafton and one of the tutors
promised to deliver 1t When the stu
dents heard what was proposed they
declared they would shoot the man on
the platform If he attempted to deliver
the Grafton. We were not going to have
mob rule, and the president said the
grafton must be delivered. A special
corps of police was stationed in the
audience hall on class day, and the ora
tor. with the president standing by his
side. commenced the speech. The stu
dents broke out with .gne Of the Ar
menian war songs. but the police soon
quelled the disturbance and the class
day exercises were concluded without
further trouble.
Il am not certain as to the number Of
students at st. Paul, as 1t is only a new
institution. but should think that
there are about 125. OF the tutors and
teachers l have no knowledge. Mr..

BUSINESS Is ACTIVE.

Trade Is Unusually Lively for Midsum'
MGR Days. According to Reports from
Dun Co.
New York, Aug. 9.-R. G. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly review Of trade. tomor-
row will say:
Business continues unusually active
for midsummer. and though there 10
perceptible relaxation there are no
signs Of reaction. The one change OF
great Importance which the past week
has brought is eminently helpful-the
amica settlement between coal min
ers and employers In western Pennsyi-
vania, Ohio and Indiana. 1t Is SAID
that about 100000 men will have their
wages increased after Oct. l by this ad-
justment, and while the enlargement or
purchasing power Is Of consequence, 1t
seems even more important that
chronic cause of controversy has been
removed by the new agreement as 10
company stores. There Is no important
changes In crop prospects, and at this
time no news Is eminently good news.
Taken altogether the crops OF the year
promise 50 much better than was ex-
pected a month ago that the effect Is
highly encouraging. although the other
crops, except corn will not be full.
The outgo of gold continues, and ex-
cites some comment, because II Is felt
that the bond syndicate could arrest the
movement at once II 1t pleased by re-
ducing the rate of exchanges.
Wheat has declined fraction with
very scanty transactions, the extreme.
" small western receipts influencing
the market for the present more than
the restricted exports. The concerted
withholding Of wheat by western farm
ers, IL continued, would doubtless affect
the price in the end. but it has already
stopped Atlantic exports almost en-
tirely. the amount. flour included. hav-
ing been only 75333O bushels for the
past week against 2,sS6.4S6 bushels
for the same week last year,
and when foreign markets have
supplied their needs from other quar-
ters the western farmers may find rea-
son to regret that they did not ship
their wheat at the ordinary time. Corn
tends to lower prices with more encour-
aging prospects. and rt1e expectation
Of a heavy corn crop affects prices OF
provisions, as might be expected.
The Industries continue to make prog
ress. and higher prices for iron and
steel products prove that the supply has
not yet outrun the demand. Bessemer
iron is a shade weaker. but grey forge

ence Union convention began this
morning at 2 o'clock. James McCleary,
president Of the union. presided.
The Rev. p. O'Brien, chairman OF
the committee on resolutions, mounted
the platform. 1t then developed that

port. Father OBrien read the major
!ty report, which was a bitter attack

gagged In II to give up the business. 1t
also advocated strict Sunday excise
law, but made no mention Of the beer
brewed by st. Vincent's Abbey, which
1t was expected the convention would
condemn.
The minority report. which was read
by Father Zurcher. was practically the
same save that 1t attacked ST. Vim
cents Abbey and condemned the Cath
olic Monks for making beer and selling
1t. Rev. Father Ward then moved that
the majority report be accepted. and
that the part Of the minority report
referring to the st. Vincent's beer, be
made a part of 1t.
A warm debate followed but finally
the majority report was adopted as
presented. The next business was the
selection of a meeting place for the
next convention. Mrs. Lake proposed
ST. Louis. Mo-, and Rev. Father l..
Malone proposed Denver. A vote was
taken and ST. Louis was selected by a
big majority. The date fixed was the
first Wednesday In August, 1896.
Re:tor Father James Cleary, Of
Minneapolis, and j. Washington Logue,
Of Philadelphia. were unanimously re-
elected president and vice-president re-
spectively of the union. There We're
two candidates for the position. of sec
ond vice-president, namely James F.
Brennan, of Mount Carmel, Conn, and
John O'Brien, Of saltwater, Mimi, but
Brennan was elected. Mrs. Leonora

elected third vice-president.

Mahon was reelected. Rev. Alexan-
der p. Doyle, of the Paulist Fathers,
