On account of fragments of a bottle hav-
ing been found in the pocket of his coat it
was surmised that Joe Baksza, the Pole who
was killed ON the p. & r. railroad near VIM.
Penn Saturday night, was intoxicated when
he met his death. A statement by mem
Der of the Grant Band bears evidence to the
contrary and brings a pathetic incident to
the surface. The member was in a saloon in
town with Baksza shortly before the latter
started for home Baksza was not drinking
intOxicants He called for a bottle Of tenn
perance drink and, after partalIing of half
the contents, put the bottle in his pocket
with the remark that his children would
enjoy it, As the last car ON the Traction
line had left Baksza decided to walk home
and it was while on his way there that he
was killed.

CATION of the Chengtu Affair.

WASHINGTON, Oct. minister DENLY
cables the state department from Pelling
as follows: Imperial decree issued: Alb
stract-Responsibil for Szechuan riots
rest with officials. Viceroy Liu careless;
took no notice of the beginning of the
riots. He is deprived of Office, never again
to be employed. Other officials to be pun
ished."
This would seem to indicate that the
crisis impending in China, involving "A ma
val demonstration by the British forces,
has been averted, for time at least, by a
compliance with the principal demands of
the British
1t cannot be learned, however, whether
the decree comedies all of the demands
made, and the cablegram makes no refer
ence to the sweeping condition imposed by
the British minister that the guilty Of
flcials be punished by suspension for three
years of all promotions and appointments
in the civil service in the province of
Szechuan.
Viceroy Liu, whose fall is announced,
has been in trouble before 1t is under
stood that he was found guilty last No
yember of misappropriation of funds, and
later on, because the French investigation
showed that he was responsible for the
Chengtu riots he was obliged to pay an
indemnity of 100000 to the French Cath
olic missions from his own pocket
The present conclusion, which has been
brought about apparently by British
threats, will not involve the abandonment
of the Independent investigation into the
Chengtu riots which has been ordered by
Secretary Olney.
The reason for the delay in organizing
and sending forward the American COM
mission to Chengtu has just transpired 1t
arose from the insistence Of our state de-
partment upon sending the commission
overland, instead of up the Yang tse-
Kiang river. The Chinese government
was extremely unwilling to have the
| journey made in this fashion, while they
had no objection to sending the commits
sioners up the river in steamboat AS
the department. felt that the passage of the
commission overland through the breadth
of China accompanied by a formidable es-
| cort, would have IA most salutary moral
effect upon the Chinese, resembling, as il
would, a demonstration in force, the point
was insisted upon and it is felt that &
substantial advantage has been gained in

A Strong COMPANY.

The attraction at Ferguson's theatre last
night was the production of Julius Caesar"
by the Hanford-S -SpencerO' Brien Company
The audience was select one, and the
seating capacity of the theatre was pretty
well taxed. Judging from the size of the
audience, the management would do well to
book more shows of this class. The produc-
ton last night was of high order. Mr.. Han
ford's Interpretation of the character Of
Marc Antony was as forcible and intelligent
as ever seen here. In the third act, when he
captured the Roman populace by his Grafton
over Cfesar's body, was delivered with great
effect and his eloquence, his passion and his
gestures were displayed to good advantage.
Mr. Hanford is especially adapted to the
part-his face, his physique and his voice
combining to make him born tragedian
His was mastery piece of acting, Mr.
Spencer gave an admirable impersonation of
the lean and hungry conspirator, Cassus
1t requires an actor of much ability to play
this difficult role, and Mr.. Spencer was equal
to the part. James Curdens "Butus" and
Miss OBrien's "Purtia" were far above the
average, and the entire company was evenly
balanced. The production was highly APP
preciated by the large audience, and sec
ond engagement by Mr.. Hanford and his
company will pack the house,

TrampS Feast Upon the Industry of
Turkey Run People.
POLICEMAN KERWIN'S DISCOVERY.
Three Knights of the Road Had Very Com
fortably Located Themselves for the
Winter in the sheltering Recess
of q Mine Breach.

The people of Turkey Run have been per-
picked for some time past by depredations on
their pig pens and chicken coops and not
withstanding persistent watchfulness and
prompt tracings after each act they always
failed to track the guilty parties, or recover
the stolen property. On Friday last Mrs.
Howells lost large white goose in which she
took almost as much pride as the legendary
goose that laid the golden egg is esteemed
by the children who read about it, The
prize was too much for Mrs Howells to lose
without protest and she instituted a Wig
orous search throughout the neighborhood
forthwith, but without success. Failing in
the sphere of detective the woman called
upon Policeman Kerwin and appealed for
his aid. She had lost hog short time be-
fore and asked the officer to take that loss
incidentally into consideration.
True to his promise and the duties of his
Office the policeman went to work on the
case. He, too was unsuccessful at first and
what he subsequently discovered was the re-
suit of an accidental glance. He was taking
a stroll through the highways and by-ways
of Turkey Run yesterday when he discovered
smoke curling from mine breach at dis
tance. He concluded that the breach was on
fire and walked to the place to cut off any
possible danger by spread of the flames into
the inner workings, When he reached the
brink of the breach he was as much sur
prised as was Robinson Crusoe when he dis
covered the foot prints in the sand ON his
lonely island. At the bottom of the breach
was cooking stove and utensils and several
articles of household usefulness that had
passed service some time. Kerwin was the
only human being near the place but the ar
rangement indicated that it was not deserted,
Before leaving Kerwin picked up and put in
his pocket two feet of a goose.
Last night Policemen Kirwin and Hand
made raid on the breach and arrested three
as tough looking specimens of humanity as
can be imagined. When arranged before JUS
