The gentlemen from Philadelphia
who were In the city giving the test of
acetylene gas left for home at o'clock
yesterday morning. They did not give
any assurance that a manufacturing
plant will be built by them In Scran-

which they discussed the advantages
Of the city amounts to very flattering
indirect assurance.
The board OF. trade Is anxious to bring
the acetylene gas company to the city
and hopes to be able to do so. The
company has reiterated once more the
statement that no Scranon money will
be sought; all they want Is the knowl-
edge that the vast culm banks dotting
the valley contain the secret of cheap
utilization. Secretary Atherton has
furnished them with statistics showing
the cost Of power where culm Is used
as fuel.

Foul Play Suspected.

Wort Gordon, son of Col. j. G. Cor
don, Of Chickamauga, one OF the leaders
in the late civil war, was killed one
nigh last week near Chattanooga, by
falling from wagon while suffering
with apoplexy. The death was one of
the most peculiar ever heard Of, and on
account of the prominence of the young
mans family created a great deal OF
comment and general sympathy. Cor
don was 26 years old. He started to
Chattanooga with two-horse spring
wagon load OF beans, which he disposed
of. On the return he was seen at several
points near the scene of death, and was
apparently in the best Of health. At
o'clock the inmates of farmhouse in
which Col. Gordon lives heard the noise
of runaway team, and man was sent
to stop them. On going to the wagon 1t
was found that Gordon was missing, and
a search was at once instituted, result
ing in finding his body lying in the road
300 yards from the house. Life had not
entirely left the body, and in few
minutes, without speaking word, Cor
don placed his hand on his head, and with
look of agony, breathed his last The
skull when examined, was found to be
crushed considerably, and although the
coroner's jury returned verdict at
tribut ting the death to apoplexy, it is
believed by some that it was murder.
The neck was brokon in addition to the
scalp wounds. Further investigation is
being made.

A JUDGES MUST"
And a wOman's "Won't" Likely to C1ashIu
Chicago Court.


CHICAGO, JuIy7 If Mrs. Alonzo e.
Cottier does not tell where her child is
before next Tuesday, it is almost GER
tain she will go to Jail for contempt of
court. Judge Payne has ordered a
writ of attachment to issue, return
able Monday morning, at which time
she will be given last chance to dis
close the whereabouts of her daughter
Florence. Mrs. Cottier was present in
court, but was not questioned. Through
her attorney, she declared she would
not tell whether the child was alive or
dead or, if alive, where it now is.
Judge Payne said, in entering the or
der of attachment, that it was ridic-
ulous to ask him to grant Mrs. Cot
tier divorce and the custody of her
child when he did not even know
whether or not there was child in
existence.
The plaintiffs counsel gave notice
that he would ask for an appeal Mon
day, and the court said he would hear
him on that point, but as an appeal in
the present state of the case would
amount practically to a supersedeas, it
is not likely the court will entertain
the motion.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS.
Trial of Seventh Day Adventists.


Chattanooga, July 6.-The trial OF 3
number of Seventh Day Adventists,
residents OF Graysville, Rhea county,
has been in progress in the Circuit
Court, Judge James G. Parks presiding,
for the past three days. A number OF
defendants were charged with follow
ing their usual avocations on the Sab
bath day, and the majority of them
were found guilty
The offenses charged were trivial in
their character, and were committed in
the county, five miles from the town of
Dayton, but as the public roads were in
the majority of the cases near the de-
PENDANTS residences, the clause, sin
public place. or within a certain
place, or "within certain distance of
public road" was inserted, and the
offenses proved to be "hurtful to the
morals of the community"
The accused were II. c. Leach. ac-
cused of cutting underbrush on his
farm; w. l.. Burchard, also cutting
wood; N. B. England, same offense;
Lewis Abbott, merchant, was charged
with selling goods on Sunday, and Allan
Cathey, mere boy, who works in the
mines all the week, and is the support
of widowed mother and an aunt, was
charged with cutting stove wood for his
mothers use. Dwight Plumb was
charged with a similar offense; w. I.
Kerr, charged with building fence
and blowing; Monroe Morgan, shingling
a house and so fourth.
Elder Gillett, a deacon of the Advent
ist Church, had several charges against
him, but the witnesses could not be
found, and the case was continued. Sew
eral other cases were also held over to
the next court.
Judge Parks in passing sentence said:
81 will take occasion, however, to ex-
press my sincere personal regret that
necessity exists for infiicting punish
ment on these people, for it must be APP
parent, even to the casual observer,
that they are good citizens who are
thoroughly conscientious in the course
they have taken. They are not Sab
bath breakers in the ordinary sense Of
that term. The original intention of
the law was certainly not to punish
such people. No man can regret the
necessity in these cases more than my
self. l am sure that the sentiment is
shared by a large element of the people,
but there can be no division on the
question as to whether the law should
be upheld. A court failing to do this
but invites ontempt for all law"
The court then imposed small fines,
the heaviest being $3.50
The defendants said that if they paid
the fines they would be putting the law
of man before tho law of God, and SO
they would suffer for conscience sake.
They emphatically refused to pay the
fines and were removed to the Jail,
which adjoins the courthouse, without
any excitement.

THEODORE NOT A BUFFER,
And When He Ordered ths New York City
Saloons Closed They Closed.

And When He Ordered this New York City
Saloons Closed They Closed.
New YORK, July s.-This city yes
terday had somewhat the appearance
of Maine prohibition town. There
were fewer saloons doing business than
on last Sunday. Many which had
done a quiet business on previous
Sundays were closed yesterday beyond
all doubt. Many of the saloon pro-
prietors had been impressed by the
statement of President Roosevelt
of the police commission during
the week past. that the excise law
would be strictly enforced on Sunday,
and that any one caught violating it
would be arrested. President Roose-
velt had convinced the saloonlxeepers
that there would be no bluff in en-
forcing the law, so most of them, de-
cided not to take any chances. A few,
however, kept open, but, as on last
Sunday, they would not admit anyone
unknown to them.
Heretofore, on Sundays, in the hotel
cafes, small plates Of cheese and
crackers were placed on every table
and nybody who presented a respecta-
BILE appearance could take a seat and,
by eating, or pretending to eat some of
the cheese or crackers, could get what
ever he called for to drink This
was changed yesterday at all of the
hotels. Patrons were handed menu
and requested to order something to
eat before anything to drink was
served to them. The famous tender
loin district" was no exception to the
dryness prevailing in other parts Of the
city and the Bowery was practically
deserted. In many churches the min.
listers delivered sermons extolling the
crusade against the opening of the
saloons on Sunday

on the town at o'clock. At 10 o'clock
there was an awful torrent raging and
the water stood from four to twelve
feet in the streets. A half hour later,
with the downpour unabated, the
buildings of the town were no longer
able to resist the avalanche of water

and cries for help could be heard above
the roar and din. 1t was after mid
night before the storm had abated so
that the people were in places of safe

clothing until daylight.
In the early morning after the water
had in a measure receded and the
bodies of the dead had been recovered
the survivors scattered among the
farm houses or went to neighboring
towns.

A vERITABLE cHARNELHoUsE
Levee Camp Occupied Only by Dead
and Dying Victims of Smallpox.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July s.-About
twelve miles south of this city is the
levee camp of G. Z. Degaris, though it
now contains only two tents. These
are in dense and muddy swamp. It's
desertion by all the former occupants
of sound health is due to smallpox.
A vigorous shotgun quarantine is
maintained. While the camp is on
Tennessee soil, narrow strip of Mis-
sippi land intervenes, and it is to pre-
vent the crossing of this that the
guard is kept. In the tents are four
cases of smallpox. one of them a
corpse. Nothing can be done with or
for them, despite the desire of the
local health authorities to remove the
living patients to the pesthouse and
to bury the dead. The dead and dy.
ing are sll negroes.

not believed tina. Winkelmann ever knew
who shot him, but naturally supposed
that it was tramp. @@
There is certainly no evidence that he
had ever had any trouble with this vari-
ETY. of the 'sgenus homo" and up to near
ly two o'clock he had not mentioned to
anyone that he expected or had had trou-
bile.
Mayor Koch on Thursday offered re-
ward Of $500 for the capture of the MUIR
derer and it is to be hoped that this will
afford AN incentive to some active detec-
tive work.
Winkelmann had been In the service
only short time, but he had proved to
be splendid otficer-always oblging.
conservative and courageous. The whole
city knew this and realizes now that it
was the dastardly deed of a coward and
fend that deprived him of his life.
We cannot believe that it was a
tramp.
The deceased leaves wife and two
small children to mourn his loss, and to
them the sympathy of the community

New Ulm review., 1895-07-10

vorable 70 the growth of Republican
sentiment. The people of sense in the
South understand very we'll that the 1t
titude of the Republican party on the
tariff and the currency is the one best
calculated to promote their material pros
perity and put them in the way of secur-
ing the highest advantages of civilization.
They have ceased to be alarmed by the
ridiculous bugbear of negro domination,
and have begun to orealize the importance
OF looking out for the interests which
their Democratic bosses have persistent
ly ignored. The effect of this awakening
is to be seen in Tennessee, where a Re-
publican Governor was elected last year,
and in Kentucky, where similar thing
is likely to happen this year. 1t IS not
at all unreasonable to expect that the
Border States which Lincoln treated with
so much consideration during the civil
war will give their electoral votes to the
Republican candidate for President next
year. The leaven has entered into the
lump, and is gradually performing it's
salutary service. Miracles are not to be
looked for in politics, of course; but the
unexl ected frequently happens, and the
Southern situation involves possibilities
at that sort which are not to be mistaken
by the intelligent observer of the ten
denotes of public opinion.->t, Louis
