connective building company, and the
two will hereafter make engines and
motors for long distance railway equip
ment. They ann at nothing less than
the development Of a new electric rail
way system, and they will succeed. 1t
is to be hoped the railroad companies
will find some way to make over and
utilize most of the engines and stock
they have now on hand, so that they
will not loose SO much in making the
change.

September IL, 1896, Catherine, wife Of
Peter Moran, aged 68 years. Deceased

years. During the last three years of
her life. she has been confined to her
bed, and has been constantly attended
by her devoted husband and children,
and especially by Katie, her only
daughter, who has scarcely quilted
her bedside during her illness. Miss
Moran's untiring devotion to her
suffering mother has been the admira-
tien of her wide circle of friends and
acquaintances. The suffering lady
was visited daily by her neighbors who
we're endeared to her by many kind
acts and words of sympathy. Mrs.
Moran was a devoted wife, a kind and
loving mother and a faithful friend.
Her remains were entered in the
Laurin cemetary, and the funeral was

dications point TO general strike
throughout the Connellsville coke region

boom in the iron movement has stimu-
lated the coke trade and forced the price

70 cents ton over the selling price at
the close OF the great strike year ago.
Last spring-the operators granted an ad-
vance OF 10 per cent, to avoid threat
ened strike Since that time the price of
coke has been on the jump and the men
now demand another advance in wages
commensurate with the advance in coke.
The operators are unwilling TO accede TO
their demands. For several months the
men have been secretly organizing. A
delegate convention was held at Con-
nellsville. All the works were repre-
sented by 81 delegates. who unanimously
voted to demand n a 100 bushels for min

POOR's MANUAL.

Poor's Manual OF Railroads for 1895 is
ahead OF all previous issues for imposing
size. And 1t moreover shows great
improvement in the extent and thorough
ness OF the work, increasing its value to
investors, particularly al this time, when
railroad and other securities are being
subjected TO closer scrutiny than usual,
aud when 1t becomes more than ever inn
portant to act,iudiciously in availing OF
the present exceptional opportunities for
investment,
The manual contains, as formerly; De
tailed statements Of aiis steam railroads
in the United States, Canada aud Mexico;
statements showing the financial condi
tion, etc, OF the United States, the sew
eral states and the chief cities, towns,
and counties Of the country; statements
showing the history, financial condition,
operations, stocks, bonds, and invest
ments, directors, officers, etc, OF all lead g.
ing Industrial enterprises, and statements
showing, for q series of years the mileage
history, operations, financial condition,
etc., OF the leading street railway COM
panies in the United States II is tho
embodiment OF the official reports of all
the railroad companies In the country.
1t is the only work OF the kind publish

every one interested In railroads, either
financially or in their operation, OF desir-
ing information concerning them. State
mentu, carefully revised by each company
before publication, are given for 1000 com

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Sept. THE
Jefferson City Democratic Club, an or

prominent speakers, representing the

A IILGIIM IMMORTAL.

Mr.. WILLIAM 4. DAVIS OF Plymouth,
Mass, is now on his way home from En-
gland, having set up in English soil
memorial OF the Pilgrim Fathers under
commission from the Pilgrim Society OF
Plymouth.
Some time ago the Plymouth Pilgrim
Society determined 10 permanently mark
the spot where the movement that cul-
minated in the voyage of the Mayfiower
was organized on English soil, and a
handsome bronze tablet, measuring "a by
% inches, was made bearing the follow
ing inscription:
"This tablet is erected by the Pilgrim
Society of Plymouth, Mass, United States
o. America, TO mark the site of the an
cient manor house, where lived WILLIAM
BREWSTER from 1888 to 160s, and where,
in 1905, he organized the Pilgrim Church
OF which he became ruling elder, and
with which he went in 1908 TO Amster-
dam, in 1903 to Leyden and in 1920 10
Plymouth, where he died August 16,
l6lO."
Mr.. DAVIS took the tablet to England,
but, as nothing remained of Scrooby Ma
nor House, close TO it's site a substantial
farm house was located, and the plate was
attached to the heavy masonry wall oi
this house.

NO CHLOROFO2M, NO ASSAULT.
Morning Paper Story of Robbery at
t.c Page Residence was "a Myth.

So far as the police can learn there is
but little truth in the "yarn' published
in morning paper IN relation to the as
sault upon Harry Page at his home on
Congdon steert, "Wednesday night. De-
tective Swan was sent TO the house by
Chief Child early this morning and the
ladies of the house said that there was
nothing for the police TO do SO far as the
case was concerned. Mr.. Page, senior,
was seen at his office by Mr.. swan, ana he
SAID that thera was no smell of chloro-
form or other drug, so iar as he could
learn, and he knew nothing Of the mat
ter until morning. He was not awakened
by any noise. The family that reside in
the next house, which is less than 20 feet
from that Of MIR. Pages. did not hear any
dogs barking, nor any noise whatever,
ana the room in which young Mr.. Page
is said to have been assaulted is directly
opposite that of one of the family in the
next house, and the window of the
rooms in both houses were opened.
Superinte ndent OF Hacks Norcross was
within a few feet OF Mr.. Pages house
yesterday morning aud Mr.. Page told Mr..
Swan that he saw Norcross. The report
OF the policeman on duty shows that he
was on the terrace about 4 O'Clock, or at
the time the assault is said to have taken
place.
None of the doors and windows shows
any signs OF being tampered with, and
not pins value was taSen or disturbed.

That the character OF PHdBE Dole
whose abnormal nature was the key TO
the mystery of the $1,000 prize detective
story, "The Long Arm" recently pub
lished in our columns, is not impossible,
however extraordinary, is demonstrated
by recent crime in New York city,
wherein one MARY BIEuLER attempted to
slay Mrs. EMILE La FERRUouE under
the same circumstances and for the same
motive that prompted the murder OF
SARAH FAIRBANKS father in Miss
WILKINS story.
MARY BIEaLER was servant In the
house OF Mrs La FERRuQUE, but both
women came 10 this country together
from Alsace. Mrs. La FERRUQUE Is
twenty-nine, tall, dark, and handsome
MARY is elderly, short, homely and mas
euine in appearance They came TO New
York from France twelve years ago. The
younger was a girl Of seventeen, who will
ingly accepted MARY BIEHLER's protec-
tion and advice.
The girl folnd employment as milli-
ner, and soon was able TO set up an es-
tabishent OF her own. Then the protege
offered MARY BIEHLER regular employ
ment and a home But the elder woman
looked upon EMILIE's progress jealousiy,
and il appears that She feared that the
girl would marry.
Well, the young milliner did marry
after a while. Folr years ago she tried
to run away from MARY BIEHLER to get
married, and when the latter followed
| her to Chicago she found the younger
woman had succeeded in getting married.
The women "made up" after a while,
and MARY agreed TO make no trouble II
the La FERRUoUEs returned to New
York and allowed her to live with them.
| They did return, but it was evident
that the marriage had incensed MARY
BIEHLER beyond measure. She began to
gamble. She bought pistol and it was
discovered, but she hid it again.
MARY BIEHLER, in a word, made so
much trouble for the young couple
that they tried in every way to
/ al .f A.~ n,.sa aI.n, data arV,sif
ed to stay as she was. intensely jealous.
Mrs. LA FERRUQUE tried to give up the
millinery business and( (go away with her
husband, but MARY BiEHLER would not
be left behind. An effort to send MARY
| BIEHLER back home TO Alsace precipi-
tated the crime. Passage was bought for
her, but before the steamer sailed MARY
BIEHLER attempted murder With Mr..
La FERRuQUE's razor sshe cut and slash
ed her Mistress terrib and the latter
| only saved her life by saiscoverng MARY
BIEHLER's intention ps the latter stole
up behind her to cut her throat. MARY
| BIEHLER threw her mistress TO the floor
and knelt upon her. The PROSTATE
woman seized the blade OF the razor again
and again, until her fingers were cut to
the bone. She grew weak from loss OF
blood, and at las u her assailant drew the
razor across her throat, making a long and
deep cut that she thought would be fatal.
II was a singular solution, that of Miss
ATKINS story, but there is not lacking
evidence that there may be not few
PHGBE DoLEs In real life.
