THREE STRIKERS SHOT.
They Attacked a Man Who Refused to Quit
 Work. and He Retaliated.

Work, and He Retaliateds
 WAPAKoNETA, O., Aug. 2S.-The strike here on the water works trenches developed into a tragedy, and three men-Joshua Filler of Pittsburg, Albert Seifert and Oscar Voorhees, of this place-were shot. Tiller will die. The men went on strike Monday and declared no one should go to work until their demands were satisfied. Some of them went to work at noon on Tuesday, but were driven out.
 The trustees and the contractor ordered Lewis VanskiYcr and another man to fill some trenches and cover some pipe in the Second ward. They began work, and a crowd of strikers congregated and com menced beating Vanskiver over the head with clubs and shovel handles breaking the largest ones by the force of the blows After he had been struck several times he drew revolver from his pocket and fired into his assailants three times, with the above results.
 Several of the participants have been arrested, and the officials are after others. Other men will bo brought in and put to work immediately, and every man con- nccted with the assault will be arrested.

INMAN'S FATE.
Supposed to Have Jumped From His Yacht
 and Gone to the Bottom.

and Gone to the Bottom.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-Robert W. h. man, Jr., who jumped overheard from his yacht Adelaide when she collided with the steamer Perseus of the Iron Steamboat company at 7:3O o'clock on Monday night of NOrton's point, in all human probabil- ity sank within a few minutes and was drowned. B. s. Clark, his partner offered q reward of $500 for the recovery of his body and chartered steam launch to go out and look for it. There arc certain friends of Mir. lnman, who was rather an eccentric man, who think that he got ashore and concealed the fact that he had survived, but there duCs not seem to be the slightest basis for such a theory.
 The main facts of the collision are that the persons who were on the yacht Ade- laide lost their presence of mind and leap ed into the water when they should have remained where they were, and that the Perseus is not adequately equipped to save human l1'c. The Adelaide, which was reported by the panic stricken survivors as having been stove in and as being in a sinking condition sustained hardly any damage whatever.

BRITISH POLITICS.

A Canadian paper says that the
result of the elections in the United
Kingdom so far as they have gone
certainly bears out the accuracy Of
the views of those who foretold a
crushing defeat of the Liberals.
The late Liberal government was de-
feated on an apparently Insignificant
question. 1t was on motion to
reduce the salary of Mr.. Campbell
Bannerman one hundred pounds.
The motion was carried by major
ity of seven. The vote was regard
ed, not only by the Secretary Of
State TOR War, but by the govern
ment of which he was a member, as
a vote of censure. Mr.. Campbell
Bannerman Immediately withdrew
from the House. The vote ofcensure
took place on Friday the 21st of
June, and on Monday the 24th the
Chancellor of the Exchequer in the
House of Commons announced that
the Cabinet had found it their duty
TO tender to the Queen through the
Prime Minister their resignation Of
Office, and that the resignation had
been accepted by Her Majesty.
"This is how the people rule in
Great Britain, continues the
paper. AS soon as it is
found that the Government does
not possess the confidence of the
majority of the peoples represent
atives, its members must resign and
give place to men in whom the
nation has confidence. Although
not more than three weeks have
elapsed since it was proved on q
question of apparently little i'm.
porrance that the Government die
not possess the confidence Of the
peoples representatives, an appeal
has been made to the nation"

BACTERIA AND COLORS.
Blue Rays Kill Germs, but Red Does Not
Much Affect Them.

Blue Rays Kill Germs. but Red Does Not
Much Affect Them.
Although investigation has not been
idle, eXperimenters have not been Who'll
ly agreed as to the exact property or
field of the sun rays which is most eff
ficient i'll action on bacteria and fungi.
The inquiry has been continued by
Professor FL. Marshall Ward, to whom
the thought occurred in the course of
his work that the most direct answer to
he question, Which rays are the most
effective ones? might be best obtained
by shining the solar spectrum directly
upon the film of spores, and making it
record the eh'ects by their subsequent
behavior, according as the different
groups of rays fell upon them-in other
words, by obtaining photograph of the
spectrum in living and dead bacteria.
The results showed conclusively that
the rays that kill the bacteria are the
blue and violet ones. An observation
was made during the investigation
which may go far to account for the I'M
satisfactory character of the determine
tons of former experiments.
The chief difficulty to be overcome
was the great weakening of the inten-
sity Of the dispersed rays of the beam of
light decomposed to form the spectrum,
n weakening caused by the distribu-
tion Of the incidence of the rays over q
larger area and by their absorption and
reflection in passing through the lenses
and prisms.
1t was found also, in working with
the electric light, that the power Of the
blue and violet rays was further i'm
paired-in other words, that they were
stopped-by the material (glass) through
which they had to pass.
The effect Of the glass was practically
the same as that of mist or haze in the
atmosphere, which so filters out the
blue violet rays that the light of dull
day was of little effect in the authors
experiments.
These difficulties were overcome by
using quartz instead Of glass, with
which it was possible to obtain q very
pure spectrum sufficiently rich in blue
and violet rays to kill the spores in q
few hours. The author found it easy to
obtain satisfactory results in the sum
mer with solar rays, even with glass
lenses, mirrors, ETC., and exposures of
five or six hours, but in winter the ex-
posures required to be so long as to be
almost impracticable. Popular Science

At dinner some time ago jolly old
astronomer related the following stor,
about departed friend, Mr.. f.:
Mr.. F. was such good natured man
that the approach Of death itself could
not disturb his peace of mind and ap-
probation of hunor. He lay dying, and
his poor wife was nearly worn out with
anxious watching. She was so tired that
by mistake she gave her husband instead
or the doctors medicine dose from the
castor oil bottle. When she discovered
her mistake, she was almost frantic. She
summoned the doctor at once and await
ed his coming with fearful eyes and bit
ter self reproach. The doctor came and
assured her that no particular harm
could have been done; that her hus
band was dying, and medicine could not
save him now. Still the poor woman
wept and gricved.
The doctor tried to comfort her. but to
no purpose. If she had only given the
medicine and not the oil, perhaps her
dear husband might have got better
She had killed her dear husband-killed
her dear husband. The doctor began to
argue, when the dying man spoke up.

Unionists Make Heavy Gsfns In All the
Districts. -

Unionists Make Heavy Gsfns In All the
Districts. -
New YORK, July 70. = The
Worlds London cablegram says:
There we're twenty-five contested
elections in England today, and tie
returns at midnight show that the
Unionists have gained eight seats,
in proportion more than one-third.
This indicates an overwhelming
Unionist majority III the next
house. The most astonishing fact
is the defeat of Sir William Yer
non Harcourt in Derby, regarded
heretofore as the very heart OF
Liberal England. There can b.
no doubt it is due to Harcourt's
veto bill. The keepers of public
houses, otherwise our barkeepers,
united their following with the
Tories, the church-party and the
anti Irish people.
The crusade against the House o
Lords is relegated to the dimmes
future. As to home rule for Ireland
the coalition government can dc
what it likes. 1t looks as if they
would have a majority sufficient t.
make them entirely independent o
the Irish vote, SO that the old Par
nell tactics of obstruction will be o
no avail in the next House.
