Them Near Pittsburgh.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug 30,-M. P.
Carrick, president of the Brotherhood
of Painters and Decorators of America,
says that proposition is to be present
ed at the St. LOUIS convention to mob
ilize the army of unemployed OF
the country in the vicinity of
Pittsburgh, in the event of derter-
mined effort on the part of the opera
tors to start the mines with imported
labor. 1t is understood, President Car
rick says, that an appeal will first be
made to the railroad men of the coun-
try, not as organizations, but as indi-
viduals, to not handle coal dug at non
union mines If this fails, then the
mobilizing in Pittsburgh will be con-
sidered These men, he says, will not
come here to destroy property, or take
in riot or insurrection, but will be here
to show that this is peaceable battle,
and that the working people are unit
in crying for relief"

THE LUETGERT TRIAL.


Attempts of the Defense to DisprOVe thd
Pet Theory of the State.
CHICAGO, Aug. 3O.-The trial OF
Adolph Luetgert for the murder of his
wife has began in earnest, the prelimi
nary work of securing jury having
been completed Long before the case
was called the corridors of the court
building We're thronged with people
anxious to gain admittance.
Contrary to the expectation of the
state, the jury will be asked by the de-
fense to witness an experim ent in the
vat in the basement of the sausage fac
tory. This is to be the result of an ex.
pertinent conducted by Luetgerts at
torneys Saturday and Sunday.
The body of man. of about Mrs.
Luetgerts age and weight, who met
his death by violence, Thursday, was
taken to the factory at 60 Diversey
avenue and immersed in solution
of caustic potash. The result eX-
ceeded expectations, The experts
reported that after boiling the
body in a IS per cent. solution Of
the potash for the same length of time
three and one-half hours-and under
the same circumstances as the state al
leges Luetgert disintegrated the body
of his wife, the complete skeleton of
the cadaver remained intact, and that
the solution had had but little effect on
the clothing.
AS a result of the test, the defense
will, it is said, ask Judge Tuthill to re-
move his court and the jury to the
basement of the big sausage factory
for few hours and witness another
experiment, which the defense claims
will completely disprove the states
theory of disintegration.

AN ARKANSAS TRAGEDY.


sinners IN rope county,
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Aug. 30.-Two
deputy United States marshalls are
dead, two are seriously wounded and
two more are missing as the result of
an attack upon a posse OF officers by
gang of desperate moonshiners in Pope
county Sunday. The dead are:
B. f. Taylor, of Searcy county.
Joe Dodson, of Stone county.
The wounded are the Renfro broth
ers. The names of the missing are not
given, but they are supposed to be dep
utv sheriffs of Searcy county. Taylor,
one of the murdered men, was 60 years
of age, and was the wealthiest man in
Searev county. Dodson was a we'll
known deputy, and had been a terror
to moonshiners for years The SIX
officers were on a moonshine raid
when the terrible affair occurred.
They had approached to within 80
wards of an illicit distillery when they
were fred upon from ambush. Taylor
and Dodson fell at the first volley, dead
in their tracks. The shooting occurred
Al miles from Russellville at a point
ten miles south of Witt Springs.
The locality is in the noun
tains, and has for many years
been favorite rendezvous for moon
sinners and counterfeiters. The news
of the terrible tragedy was brought to
Russellville by Dir. Pack, who came
after the coroner. The men who did
the shooting are supposed to be a gang
of moonshiners, lead by Horace Brace
and John Church, two of the most

ClsNERos' RESCUE.


New York, Aug. 30--Pablo Super
veille, young Cuban, who assisted in
the rescue of Evangelina Cisneros from
the clutches of Berriz the governor
general OF the Isle Of Pines, has arrived
here. The full horror Of the situation
which confronted the helpless girl
when Berriz sought her ruin is made
plain in the following affidavit, sworn
to by Superveille;
NEW YORK, Aug. 2s, 1897.
1t was in the Isles OF Pines, in the month Of
July 1895, when Miss Eyangelina Cossio Cis-
neros was arrested, She was engaged to be
married TO my cousin, Emilio Betancourt, and
| therefore came to know her very we'll
The charge that she enticed Col. Berriz to
her house to be assassinated by men who were
concealed there for that alleged purpose in con-
necton with an uprising previous on the island
is absolutely false
Evangelina had been pestered with improper
proposals by Berrlz. She had repulsed his ad-
vsnces time and again, but he would not leave
her alone At length finding that he could not
accomplish his base purpose through promises
OF giving her father his freedom, he determined
to use force,
Berriz had her father arrested secretly and
locked up in the calabOose July 20 1906, for the
sole purpose OF Re ting him out OF the way that
the girl might be alone in her house. On that
night he went to her house at l2 o'clock, peeped
through window and saw that she was all
alone in her room and then opened the door
and entered, l was in my uncle's house near
by, about to go to bed when l heard Eyange-
lina's cries for help.
With three other young men / rushed to her
assistance, and we found the girl struggling
with Berriz and crying out, We rescued her
and tied Berriz, with the intention Of deliver
ing him to the judge, Enrique Gonzalez
But before we could get him out of the house
soldiers who had been attracted by his cries
for when he found that his cowardly, fearful,
womanIsh pleas for mercy were OF no avail, he
screamed out calling FOR help appeared, and
we fled, We were arrested the next day as was
also Evangelina,
This is the truth OF the occurrence in the Isle
OF Pines that has had for its terrible sequel IA
deaths murders already, and the frightiul in
diRnites and privatiohs that Eyangelina has
suffered and is still suffering in the Casa de Re
coiidaS.
The charge of insurrecton was trumped up
by Berriz not only to give him an excuse for
wreaking vengeance, but to cover up the un-
uspeakable shame OF his conduct

The Conditions Under Which 1t May be
Procured Are Most Unfavorable.
SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 3O.--In speak
ing of the Klondike gold fields, VIM.
Ogilvie, Dominion surveyor for the
Northwest territory, discouages all
strangers from going into that bleak
country. He denies that any differ
ence regarding the boundary line ex-
lists between Canada and the United
States. He says:
Gold has been found in certain
zone in British Columbia, running
through the Cariboo and Cassiar dis
tricts. Project the axis of this zone
northwesterly and we touch the Tes-
lin lake, Hootalinqua river, Steward
river, Indians creek, Troandike
.(KlondilIe), Sixty Mile, Forty
Mile, American creek, Seventy
Mile and Birch creek. Now, it is
highly improbable that, gold being
found at all these points, the interven-
ing spaces are barren, and will do no
more than say generally that we have
zone of upwards of 500 miles in
length, some of it in Alaska, more of it
in the Northwear territory, and much
of it in British Columbia, which will
be yet the scheme of numerous
mining enterprises, both on the
quartz and placer, the former practic-
ally inexhaustible. The conditions,
however, are most unfavorab bic. There
is nine months winter, barrenness is
almost total so far as vegetation and
food is concerned, the earth is bound
in eternal frost, and the thermome ter
often reaches 60 to 70 degrees below
zero"

BETTER FINES AHEAD.
Live stock and Farm Produce Show
an Increase in Value.

Live stock and Farm Produce Show
an Increase in Value.
Owners of live stock have been dis
couraged, as a rule, during the past five
years. Horses ami sheep have been for
immediate returns very poor property
Cattle and hogs have at times been valu-
able, but they too often have afforded
no encouraging returns. The signs OF
the times are changing, and there is
now outlook for at least moderate i'm
provement in all classes of live stock.
There is steady improvement in man.
ufacturing business, and with the in
crease in such work there will be a
greatly improved demand for good
horses. AS the income of salaried peo-
pie and wage-workers is advanced, the
grocers and other retail merchants will
be obliged to have more of the average
sized horses for use on delivery wagons.
This will afford market to many farm.
ers for their average horses, and there
will be tendency continually among
breeders, with advancing values, TO pro-
duce a better grade of stock for the flu
ture. As values of all the different
grades of equine stock improve there
will be much better feeling among
the general farmers which will cause
them to invest in much-needed new i'm
plements and machinery.
1t is usually necessary On the aver
age farm to depend upon such products
as the meats, butter, eggs, wool, ETC.,
for the current expenses and living of
the family. Permanent Improvements
must be made, as rule, from the re-
turns of the occasional sale of team
or single horse.
With the increasing value Of all kinds
of grain there is every reason to expect
an advance in the prices offered for all
grades of live stock. There has been
greatly diminished condition of the
focks of the country, so that the feeces
will not glut the near future. The dis
position of so many people to economic
in clothing during later years will
necessarily, of course, force the masses
to buy more freely in the near future.
This urgent demand will advance val
ues materially. With the masses of
working people employed also. there
will be a steady advance in the demand
for meats and the greater variety of
provisions. When families increase
their expenditures for the table there
will be sure and steady call for more
of the farmers products.
It is generally claimed that the sup
ply of hogs throughout the country is
less than for some years hitherto. The
markets at the yards indicate an up
ward tendency, so that producers OF
pork may take courage to give much
better care to the swine than they were
disposed to do of late because of low
values.
1t must be remembered that with i'm
proving times and values in their
products the farmers themselves will
be disposed to use more freely better
foods for their tables and more of their
best products generally, because of the
fact that an increase in their incomes
will permit more liberal living. In too
many cases during panic times some
farmers felt themselves compelled to
use for their own provisions largely the
nroducts which were perishable and to
