TO OFFSET THE RAISE

TAE CoNNELLsvILLE COKE OPERATORS
 HAVE GONE UP ON RENT AND PRO-
 VISIONS.
 UNIoNTowN, Pa., April 2.-The coke workers have been notified that rents will be advanced from 30 to 40 per cent for com pany houses. The rents were reduced at the time wages were cut. Now that wages have been raised the operators want higher rent for their houses. This action and the advance in prices at the company's store offset the advance in the coke workers' wages and cause great d cal of dissatisfac- ton. A convention of coke workers will be held tomorrow at Connellsville for the purpose of organizing the men. Some acc iion on the advance h rents and provisions may be taken at this meeting.

TIE BOUNDARY DISPUTE Between Mexico and Guatemala,
 Which Threatened War,
SETTLED W7$oUT TROUBLE
Guatema,sS oses a Large Tract of LatS But Gains a More
 < aIuable One.

VASE SETON, April 2.-The facts with regard to the settlement yesterday of the boundary dispute between Mexico and Guatemala are said to be these:
 About year ago the Guatemalau police broke up a number of Mexican lumber camps, which were located in a part of the country in dispute and over which Guate- msla at that time claimed authority. Tais tract of land embraced abont 400) q uere miles, and is principally valuable for it's great timber possessions.
 While Guatemala insisted upon control of this land, it was well understood be- tween the two governments that it would be relnquished to Mexico after the bound- ary line had been drawn and accepted by the two countries. The indemnity which Guatemala, it s said will pay to Mexico, will result from her action in driving from this territory the Mexican citizens engaged there in the lumber business. It will not be large sum, and will not, in the aggre- gate, exceed some hundred thousands of dollars, but less than million.
 On the other hand the agreement reached between the Guatemalan minister at he City of Mexico, Mir. Leon and the Mexican foreign office yesterday will result io the absolute control by Guatemala oi another tract of land embracing 1000 square miles, which has been claimed by Mexico, but which the Guatemalan government ielt 1t could not relinquish, even though war were to follow as a consequence of this refusal. This land lies to the east of that heretofore referred to, and lies directly in the line of travel between the northern and southern departments of the republic. The posses sion of this land, which, aside from It's To- cation, is valuable in mineral deposits and mahogany, is of enormous interest to Qua temala, and is, as matter of fact, of far more importance than the other and larger tract in dispute.
 The agreement reached by the represen- tatives of the two countries yesterday at the City of Mexico requires the ratification of the Mexican senate and the GuatemalAn assembly, but it is believed that DO oifii- culty need be apprehended from either of these sources.
 The Guatemalan minister does not know yet the details of the agreement signed yes- terday between his country and Mexico, but he has received from the Guatemalan minister in that city the following teie-
 CITY OF MEXICO, A April 1, 1s95. To the Minister of Guatemala, Washington.

 Harris' confession of that deed was printed in the AGE HELALD yesterday. He claims that he and Mitchell went to Mer- riweather's s store for the purpose of rob bery, and the latter recognizing Mitchell they murdered him.
 THE FIRST CLUE.
 Abe Mitchell was arrested few days ago and "squealed. He claimed that he went 10 MerrIweather's store with Jim Lewis and Lee Harris, and that he was forced to do so. This started the cunfessing busi- ness, and Lee Harris followed It up by tell ing the stories of the crime above enumer- ated.

CHICAGO ELECTS A REPUBLICAN MAYOR
 AND COUNCIL.
 CHICAGO, April 1.-The entire repub- lican ticket, with the exception of a few isolated aldermen, was elected here today. George B. Swift's plurality for mayor ap- proximates 45 900. This is taken from in complete police returns. At 10 o'clock tonight BIO precincts out of 920 returned Swift 129, ,76l votes, Wenter, democrat, 0.591, and Holmes, populisl, 9S76. The council will stand overwhelmingly repub l. can. "Hinky Dinck" McKenna, democrat, was defeated by the republicans for alder man in the First ward, democratic strong hold, by 400 votes. In the Nineteenth ward x-Congressman Frank Lawler, inde- pendent democratic candidate for alder man, appears to have the upper hand. Alderman McGillan, Mayor Hopkins right bower, is behind in the Twenty first ward, and the only democratic survivors of the adermanic cyclone, from the present out look, are Stuchart of the Sixth and Bennett of the Eighth.
 The republicans are giving themselves up to the delirium of victory, and crowds of a thousand in a body marched through the city hall this evening with horns and drums. The city voted by majority esti- mated at 40, 900 to place itself under the op- erations of the civil service law, which will apply to every department of the city gov ernment.
 Roy 0. West, republican candidate for city attorney, ran several thousand votes behind his ticket, but was elected by u handsome majority.
 Adam Wolf for city treasurer and Charles G. Neely for circuit judge on the republi can ticket, were elected by majorities equal to Swift's.

Senetor Milner was called to the floor and said that if the people of Alabama wanted an exhibit at Atlanta, and he didn't see how they could do without it, that they would have to go down in their pockets after Athe money. He then said that there was no time to be lost. He also said he was in favor of paying man to go over the state and raise the money for the exhibit, which must be had at all hazards.
 MT. Erwin Craighead of Mobile rose, ad did not like to differ with Senator Milner, but that if the money was ever raised the me mbers of the Commercial association of Alabama would have to do it. He said the Commercial association must raise the money, and that the delegates must do their part. want to differ slightly with my colleague, for we have to look to Bir- mingham for large part of the exhibit. We must go back home and raise as much as any other county with equal representa- tion. The fact of the matter is We must do it., and gay that Mobile will raise her 5000, and 5000, if necessary.
 Major Anderson suggested that the amount be raised within the next forty days, aud Mir. R. N. Rhodes thought it ought to be done in less time than that. He also said that the report of the commit tee was the suggestion of MT. M. V. Joseph, the originator of the movement. He said that the Birmingham delegation had the advantage of ses eral days consider ation of the matter, but that Jefferson would come up with her 5000, and that the Commercial club would pledge the amount. l would have preferred that each delega- ton would pledge themselves the assessed amount.
 MT. Joseph of Montgomery took the oor and said that he had begun to think Mont gomery was very small spot. Mobile, he said, had her port and Birmingham her iron, and, therefore, they will derive a greater benefit from an exhibit. am en- thusiastic on the matter. but the report is not exactly in touch with some points raised in the last meeting of our Com mercial organization. As to the amount of money Montgomery will raise am not authorized to say, but will say that we will make a favorable report and do every thing in our power towards raising our pro rata.
 MT. Joseph of Birmingham addressed the chair, and said he thought the matter must be looked at from business point of view, and there is but one way to do it and that is to take hold of 1t from the start with a deter animation to win. We must have an exhibit and am prepared to say that Jef- ferson will lead with $l000, or S2000, if nec- essary. In conclusion l want to ask you to adopt the report and let us go away and say that we can raise every cent of the amount necessary. Then we will have an exhibit. The names of all the countias represented were called and the assessed amount pledged. The report was adopted.
 The committee on plans presented the following names for tho board of controls:
 Maj. Frank Y. Anderson of Birming- ham, Hon. H. D. Lane of Athens, MT. M. B. Houshton of Montgomery, Hon. T. w. Pratt of Huntsville and Capt. A. c. Danner of Mobile.
 The following resolution was then adopted:

MICHIGAN AS USUAL.

DETROIT, Mich, April 2.-The latest re- turns from the state do not show much change from last night. It is probable that Judge J. B. Moore, republican, for justice of the supreme court, has carried the state by 35, 900 plurality, over Justice McGrath, democrat. The two republican candidates for regents of the university, Roger w. Butterfeld and Charles Fl. Hackley, have run slightly ahead of Moore. The republican state ticket has probably carried every county in the state. In the local elections the republicans have carried a large majority of the towns and cities.

SUMMER BEVERAGES.
Fruit the Foundation of a Variety of Re-
freshing Drinks

Fruit the Foundation of a Variety of Re-
freshing Drinks
One of the luxuries of the well-regu-
lated family is good supply of sum-
mer beverages, or the ready-made ma
terial for preparing them, In seasons
when fruit is plenty, one may make
the foundation for suoh drinks at very
small cost, and keep it on hand. A
great many sirups are made and bot
tied; most of these, especially those for
immediate use, are cold pressed, which
makes, of course, the most desirable
article, as all of the flavor Of the fruit
is retained in its natural delicacy. But
these sirups do not keep unless one has
exceptional facilities for very cold stor-
age Where there is an ice house or a
large supply of ice kept on hand. so
that the bottles may remain at ice-cold
temperature continually, the cold
pressed process has its advantages; but
in many households this is not prac-
BILE; therefore, sirups are prepared
by heating the fruit and sugar, and
when at the proper pitch, putting
them into hot bottles, or closing them
tightly, the corks being sealed and
tied down.
An excellent method of making these
things, and one recently adopted by
number of successful housekeepers, is
the cooking of half jellied compound
that is at once favorous and delicate.
The sugar and fruit are proportioned;
as for jelly, the sugar is boiled for
ten minutes, then the fruit, previ-
ously crushed and mashed as fine as
possible, is stirred in, the heat being
kept up to the highest possible point
meanwhile. Ten minutes of boiling
after the fruit is in is sufficient; then,
regardless of its jellying capacities, it
is put into jars or bottles and tightly
covered. One may put it in fruit-jars,
bottles or jugs at pleasure, but it Is
much more desirable when put in
small, wide-topped glass jars The
popular fruit-jars in the pint-size have
now the same sized covers as those that
hold a quart, and the sirup, if it is
slightly thickened, is more easily re-
moved from them. Materials for lem
onade may be prepared in a similar
way, the Juice being pressed from the
lemons and a quantity of sugar added
to it. Crushed Strawberries, raspber-
ries, bits of orange and pineapple may
be added to the lemons and sugar, and
if bottled and kept upon the ice, will
last long time without any heating
or any other process. N. Y. Ledger.
