Pittsburg, Pa, October 19.-William
Howarth, George F. Taylor and VIII
liam C. Black, Of Washington. Pa.
came to Pittsburg a week ago yester.
day. They were out TO see the sights
and wound up at No. 40 Second avenue.
where Carrie Kuhn, who is from Wash
ington, lives. She fixed beds in the
parlor for them, and let them sleep
there until morning. They left early
before anyone in the house was astir.
When Miss Kuhn entered her parloI
she was grievously shocked. 1t was
as if vandals had raided IT, On the
wall was the remainder of an oil paint
ing. with the canvas cut and the gilt
frame hacked by a knife A $500 piano
was scratched and scored and its cloth
cover cut to pieces. Two sofas, which
had been the beds of the visitors. were
ripped open, and three large leather
chairs were cut and slashed. Three
other chairs were broken 10 pieces
Lace curtains, window blinds and
mantel cover were destroyed, and in
the hallway a seal 'sacque, which had
been hanging there, was cut into rib
bons. The work of destruction was as
complete as it was possible for it to be
without the use of an AK, which it is
supposed the visitors did not carry.
The woman went before Alderman
Gripp last Monday and made an in
formation against the three. Alderman
Gripp gave them a hearing to-day and
put them under bonds to answer in
court.
Then they swore out n warrant for
the arrest of Miss Kuhn. They accuse
her of selling liquor without a license.
She gave bail for court. On their re
turn to Washington they made an in
formation against her for keeping an
unlawful house there, nearly two years
ago. She gave bail for tria.They have
her stirred up now instead OF frighten-
ing her. She says she will stand her

This want of decision among the Ohio
men leaves the situation in a rather
muddled condition in that State The
miners are restless. The officials had
considerable trouble holding men in
line until the Pittsburg convention
could meet.
At that time the men threatened to
strike, and it was only by the persistent
efforts of the officials that trouble was
averted. The decision of the commits
sion came as a surprise, as it was conf
IDENTIFY expected that a report fayoring
the advance would be made.

THINK IT A RILrFF

London, October 19.-Summed up
briefly the attitude of the English press
and people towards Venezuela is one
of conscious righteousness and calm
serenity. 1t is everywhere asserted
that the British claims are perfectly
justified and complete confidence in the
firmness of the government is express
ed. Hints have been thrown out for
some time past that the Marquis of
Salisbury will stand no nonsense from
the Venezuelan government and con-
seuuently the announcement of the St.
James Gazette early this morning that
the premier had sent an ultimatum to
President CrespO caused little surprise.
The possibility of active intervention
upon the part OF the United States,
which is recognized as being the most
serious side of the present dispute, is
discussed by the Times, but Englishmen
generally profess to believe that the
Monroe doctrine is only a sort OF blum
which needs only to be met with a. firm
attitude.

Water New Buildings to be Erected
Special to the Register.
Weston. w. Va, October 19.-The
Board of Directors of the Hospital for
the Insane, who were in session here
for the past few days, adjourned to-
day. Nothing but the usual routine
business was transacted. The contract
for furnishing flour and meal was
awarded to the Mountain City Milling
Company. of Fairmont, at $3.50 per
hundred pounds for -four, and go cents
per bushel for meal. Owing to the ex-
treme dry weather, the institution will
soon be in a bad fix for water, as the
West Fork river is nearly dry. The
superintendent has a force of men and
teams ploughing and grading in the
bed of the river to-day TO let the water
run in the channel so that the pumps
could reach it, but this is only tenn
porary relief. Unless we get an abun-
dance of rain within the next few days
the hospital will be practically with
out water.
Mr.. J. H. Edwards. postmaster, and
late editor of the State Times, was
married on Wednesday last to Miss
Gertrude, daughter of Judge Henry
Brannon. The bridal couple are on a
trip to the Eastern cities.
The new Episcopal Church, now un-
der construction, will be one OF the
finest in this section.
Circuit Court convenes here Monday
next.
1t is reported that we are to have a
new building similar to the Traders
building at Clarksburg. 1t will be
erected on the present site of the Ma
tional Exchange Bank, opposite the
Bailey House, and will contain hotel,
bank and opera house. Sprigg Camden,
who has lately attained his majority,
it is said. will erect it. He has lately
purchased considerable stock in the
National Exchange Bank, which gives
him q majority of the stock, and he pro-
poses to keep pace with ClarksDurg
and other towns in the State.
The first edition of the State Times
under the new management appeared
to-day. It is bright and newsy, but
gives notice that he will advocate the
free coinage of silver. Colonel Matt
Cooper it announces, will be ready TO
receive friends in the capacity OF editor

AN ULTlMATUM SENT.
President Crespo Notified What England
Wants and VIII Do-The Demands

Wants and VIII Do-The Demands
Iondon. October 19.-The st James
Gazette this afternoon follows up its
disclosures of yesterday regarding the
policy of the Ri. Hon. Jospeh Chamber
lain Secretary of State for the Colonies,
regarding Venezuela, and the apparent
determination of the British government
to uphold it's claims by force of arms,
by making the following important
statement:
1--WE are in position to state that the
MARQUIS Of Salisbury has sent an ulti-
matum to President Crespo, which not
only sets out the demands of the British
government for reparation on account
of the arrest of the deputation and in
spectors of police at Brunn, but it also
states that terms upon which Great
Britain VIII definitely determine the
boundary dispute with that republic
The ultimatum is now enrOute to Pres
ident Crespo, if it is not already deliv-
cred. to him.
This final action was decided upon
by the Marquis of Salisbury and Mr.
Chamberlain before the formers recent
holiday in France. Both the Marquis
of Salisbury and Mr.. Chamberlain are
in perfect agreement as to the necessity
of ending the frontier dispute. even If
Venezuela has to be brought TO terms
by methods which are the most effective
in reaching an understanding with
South American republics. The in
structions to Station Maxims on the
frontier are to be associated in the dis
patch only in the sense that guns will
be necessary to overawe those Venez-
uelans who are not likely to pay atten-
ton to President Crespo and the gov
ernment of Caracas, whatever agree
ment the latter may make with Great
Britain after study of the Marquis
of Salisbury's message"
The st. James Gazette also publishes
a letter, signed Hugh Watt, deplOring
the retrograde condition of British
Guiana, due, it is claimed, to the at
tempts to bolster up the decay.ng sugar
cane industry; but predicting that Mr..
Chamberlain's policy will revive its in
dustrial prospects.

NO REpI-Y RECEINEn

London, October 19.-The Press AS
sociation late this evening announced
THAT the government had not received
a reply to the ultimatum sent to Vene-
zuela and that the foreign office had not
even received an Inclination 1hat it had
been delivered to President Crespo.
Probably this accounts for the fact that
the foreign Office will only confirm the
St. James Gazette story of the sending
of the ultimatum TO the extent OF say
ing that it is true the Marquis of Sails
bury is taking steps to inform Venezu-
ella that reparaion is required for the
Uruian OutrageS.

Paris, October 19.-F0r some days
Mr.. Mackay and two friends, Messrs.
Lynch and Dgby, have been trying
some horses which they had lately
purchased, over hurdles and bitches,
on course laid out by Mr. Mackay
on the estate of the Duke of Gramont,
in the department of the Sarthe, which
he had rented. Contrary to the advice
Of his friends, Mr.. Mackay yesterday
mounted a particularly rest!ve horse,
which had been ridden by Mr.. Lynch
on Thursday AS a result the horse
bolted from the track and rushed
through the th:ckets. Mr. Mackay sue
ceeded in lodging several of the trees,
but he was finally overcome by the eX-
ertion, lost all control of his horse,
reeled in the saddle and finally collided
with fearful force against a tree which
he struck with his head and knees.
The collision hurled him TO the ground
and on his friends reaching the spot,
they found him suffering from ghastly
wounds in the head, both eyes being
badly bruised. All attempts to restore
the young man to consciousness were
futile. and he was carried 70 the castle
and doctors called. The latter after
some hours succeeded N restoring their
patient TO consciousness, but he had
several relapses and expired at $50,
after shaking hands with and saying
goodbye to all his friends whom he
recognized by the sound of their voices.
No member of the Mackay family was
present at the death-bed.
