Ineligible Fog Signals.

Among the greatest dangers to
navigation is collision caused by
fog, which arises principally from
the fact that while one ship can
hear by signals that another ship is
near or approaching neither vessel
can determine in what direction the
other is moving. To overcome this
difficulty system based on sirens
and fog horns has been devised,
which, while simple, appears to be
effective. Having due regard to the
usual direction of vessels over the
principal ocean courses, a single
sound has been taken to indicate a
common course, say easterly, while
combinations of two sounds indicate
all of the usual points of the COM
pass. Thus course due west is in
dicated by single horn blow, one
due east by siren blow, north and
south by combinations, such as two
horns and two whistles, and SO ON.

Trade Unionists Are to Leave the Illinois
 Military Service.
 CHICAGo, Dec. 2l The Times-H Herald says:
 Trades unionists are requested by the Federation of Labor to leave the na- tional guard at once. This was the unanimous decision reached by the delegates at their regular meeting. It was said without contradiction that union man could not con- sistently serve in the militia and incur the risk of being called out to shoot down fellow trades unionists who were on strike for betterment of their economic condition. So every trades unionist who is now a member of the Illinois national guard will be requested to secure discharge from military service at once.

 PENSACOLA, Fla. Dec. 2I.-There is considerable activity on board the United States steamer Montgomery, owing to information Ina ing reached her commander to the effect that several suspected flibus- ters were in the harbor. Conse- quently the cruiser started the fires and made preparations for getting un- der way at moments notice. The crew of the cruiser worked in conjunc. tion with the revenue cutter Penrose. Late in the afternoon, the Montgomery put a squad of armed men, in charge of an officer, on board the Penrose and they will be relieved every four hours until further develop ments. The Montgomery also fitted out several of her boats with guns, ammunition and armed crews to patrol the harbor, while the Penrose did duty outside, around Warrington. All the boats of the Montgomery have orders to fire two blank charges to bring to any suspected yes. sel. and upon her neglecting to stop, a third shot, this time loaded shell, is to be fred

MRS. PULLMAN DECIDES.
She Will Take Her Dower Interest In Her
 Dead Husbands Estate.

CHICAGO, Dec. 22 Mrs. George M Pullman has finally decided to accept her dover interest in the estate of her husband, instead of abiding by the terms of the will. According to the will she was given s50.ooo cash, the homestead in Chicago and the income from Sl,25o,oo during her life, the sum to revert to the estate after her death.
 Her acceptance of the will would have made it practically impossible for her to leave any considerable sum to the two sons, who were practically dis inherited by their father. Her third interest as dover gives her S3, 900, 900 in personal property and one-third in- terest for life in the estate held by Mir. Pullman. The estimates make the es- tate of Mir. Pullman aggregate at least Sl5, 900, 900 instead of S7,000, 900. as an nounced immediately after his death.

 of Moritx Peitsch.

ST. LOUIS. Dec. 22.-The jury Tn the case of Charles De Pue. charged with the wilful murder of Moritz Peitsch an old grocery keeper of rather un. savory reputation, returned a verdict oi not guilty. The verdict is the re- suit of evidence introduced at the eleventh hour by the de. fense to show that the killing was the outcome of improper advances made by Peitsch to Bessie De Pue, sis. ter of the accused. While the verdict stands, there are those who believe that it is the successful result of des- perate expedient resorted to by the de- fense, which not only secured De Pue's acquittal, but placed him in the light of a persecuted hero.

FOUL CONSPIRACY.
It Led to the Murder of Emma P. Kaiser
 at Norristown, Pa.


 NoRRIsTowN, Pa, Dec. g The hear ing of Chas Clemmer and Elizabeth K. DeKal5, the two alleged accomplices of Chas. O. Kaiser in the murder of his wife, Emma P. Kaiser, on October 19, 1896, took place before Magistrate Lehandt. Mrs. Kaiser was shot while riding with her husband on lonely road near here. The alleged motive of the crime was the desire to secure BIO, 900 insurance op her life. Kaiser has been sentenced to death for the murder. Mrs. DeKalb, the notori- ous Woman in Black" went on the stand and told the story of her life and the plans of the conspiracy. Her story was of a start ling nature and most damaging to Clemmer. She told of plan which Clemmer and Kaiser had agreed upon for getting Mrs. Kaiser out of the way. This was to chloroform the woman and then set fire to the bed. This plan, she said, was not carried out because Kaiser lost his nerve. Mrs. DeKalb told of several carriage rides she had with Mrs. Kaiser. the majori. ty of which were planned by Clemmer. Her description of the drive which ended in the murder was minute and was attentively listened to. It is believed the commonwealth will allow her to enter a plea of ac- cessory after the fact. It was thought to be impossible to convict Clemmer without Mrs. DeKalb's evidence, hence the abandonment of the original in- tention to prosecute both as princi- pals.

 WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Miss Leila Herbert. daughter of ex-Secretary of the Navy Herbert, died at her home in this city, as the result of leap from third-story window of her home on New Hampshire avenue in the most fashionable part of the city, just off Dupont circle, The sudden death and tragic features surrounding it were a great shock to the large circle of friends she had made in the course of her life in Washington as the daughter of a popular repre- sentative in congress from the south, and later as one of the cabinet circle of ladies, when she presided over her fathers house. hold during the four years he was sec- retary of the navy under the last Cleve. land administration.
 Her death is traceable indirectly to conditions succeeding an accident while horseback riding in her native state oi Alabama about two months ago.
