bisSrreefnl Scenes in Austrian
Reichrnth Continue.
Vienna, Nov. 21.-Ihe disorder in the
lower house of the reichsrath was so
accentuated Friday that a strong de-
tachment of police had to be called in to
preserve order.
When the president of the house, DR..
Abrahamovics, entered, he was greet
ed with vociferous shouts of: "Get
out"
The leftists rose to their feet in a
body, many of the deputies shrieked
wildly and an indescribable tumult fol-
lowed.
During the tumult, a social democrat,
Herr Be1ner, made rush for the pres
ident and lively fist fight followed be-
tween Berner and the house attendants,
who attempted to protect the chair.
Ihereupon another social democrat,
Herr Reset, jumped upon the
ministerial bench and, hurrying to the
presidential chair, seized the papers
which were lying on the presidents
desk and tore them to pieces, while
other social democrats fastened to Herr
Berner's assistance, occupied the trib-
une and demanded satisfaction for the
attendants pummeling of Herr Berner,
President Abrahamovics was COM
PEELED to flee. Subsequently the social
democrats and other deputies INDUCED
in free fight and Herr Berner was
elected from the house.
In the meantime detachment of ten
nOljpa arrival in 1a1 ,o,,eo {1,o oo,
in command called upon the social
democrats to withdraw from the presi-
Dental platform. They, however, re-
fused t, withdraw, and resisted the at
tempts of the police to eject them.
They were eventually removed forcibly
and singly. The police then made cor
don around the tribune. These scenes
were enacted prior to the formal open
ing of the house. While the deputies
We're fighting and bowling on the floor
OF the house tumult arose in the sec
ond gallery, which the attendants
promptly cleared. The authorities then
caused all the Hobbies of the house to
be filled with police, the gates were
closed and the building was guarded by
strong police force.
The session of the house, in the mean
while, was suspended.
After nine o'clock Friday evening
the aspect of the streets became more
threatening. 1t is estimated that a
crowd of 10000, including large num-
Der of students, assembled, and threat
ened the government with revolution,
and Count Badeni, the premier, with the
guillotine. An attempt was made to at
tack Count Badeni's house. The police
repeatedly charged the crowd, but re-
Trained from using arms. The students
resisted with sticks. One police inspec-
tor was severely injured by kick from
a horse; another was thrown from his
horse and SO badly hurt that it was nee
essary to remove him to hospital. A
few students and some citizens received
slight injuries. Not until II o'clock was
quiet restored.

A THANKSGIVING PRESENT.

George Gould Increnscs the Wages
of Employees ON Missouri Pacific.
st. Louis, Nov. EFT is announced
that, as Thanksgiving present, Presi-
dent George Gould, of the Missouri Pa
cific railway system, has advanced
salaries all along the line ten per cent.
The advance, which will date back from
November l, affects $4,000 employees and
will result in an additional expendi-
ture of 100000 a year.
The men whose salaries are affected
included officials, Office men, engineers,
conductors, train men, telegraph OPP
orators, station agents and machinists.
Their salaries range from $50 per month
TO $4,000 year. The Missouri Pa.
cific system, including the Iron Noun
tain, gives employment to 10000 men.
The monthly pay roll averages $1.ooo,-
900. The cut which is now restored was
effective June ], 1893, until further no.
tice."
1t was said when the cut was made
that it was the aim Of the management
to reduce the salary account ten per
cent. This meant an average monthly
saving of about $4,000, or $o6o,ooo an
nually. The cut was in effect three
years and five months. On basis of ten
per cent. the management is said to have
saved $3,2s0,O00 through its retrench-
ment policy. The earnings of the sys-
TEN have been increasing steadily for
several months, full force is working
overtime in every department., and the
management believes the revenue will
justify the restoration of reduced sal

"A FRIENDS WIFE WAS HIS VICTIM.
The Crime Committed to secure
Heavy Insurance Placed Upon the
/ WOman's Life-Latter's Husband
II Under Sentence of Death.

r Newark, N. j., Nov. 21.-James A.
lClemmer, of Norristown, Pa, was ar
rested here Friday afternoon on the
charge of murder and after being taken
TO police headquarters he admitted his
GUILT. On October 20, 1896, Mrs. Emma
p. Kaiser, went driving in company
with her husband, Charles O. Kaiser,
james A. Clemmer and Elizabeth L.
EDekalb. That was the last seen alive
lof Mrs. Kaiser. Mrs. Kaiser had not
lived with her husband for some time
previously, but she had placed $4,000
insurance policy on her life and this &C.
counted later to the police for the in
lterest her husband took in her. On the
same day Kaiser, Clemmer and the De-
kalb woman returned with Mrs. Kaiser's
dead body. They told story of her
being waylaid by highwaymen, Mrs.
Kaiser being shot dead and Kaiser him
self being slightly wounded in the arm.
The story was not believed and Kaiser
and the Dekalb woman were arrested,
Clemmer making his escape. Kaiser
was tried, convicted and sentenced to
death. The Dekalb woman is now held
for trial. When arrested, Clemmer took
matters calmly and denied his guilt.
He claimed that his name was Harry e.
sYoungs, and that he knew nothing of
the Norristown affair. After being
taken to police headquarters he was
searched by the police and found on
him was roll of clippings from news
papers containing full account of the
Kaiser murder, including the trial and
conviction of Kaiser Clemmer then
weakened and said: "Tm the man YOU
want. I might as well admit it,"

Considerable Damage Done Near
Chesterfield, Ind.
I Chesterfield, Ind, Nov. 27.-An ex-
plosion of nitroglycerin occurred one
half mile west of this city at 9:1O
o'clock Thursday night. Sixty quarts
of nitroglycerin were hauled there for
the purpose of shooting gas well. The
explosive was placed in large zinc
tub located at the end of the steam ex-
haust pipe for the purpose of thawing
out the mixture. 1t is the theory that
the tub became oyerheated, causing an
explosion with disastrous results. A
hole ten feet long and several in depth
was torn in the earth. The engine was
blown to pieces. Drillers Haney and
Mcclure had remarkable escape.
They were standing within 80 feet of
the scene of the accident and were
hurled 20 feet by the force of the ex-
Iplosion, but with the exception of a
few bruises they escaped unhurt. Per-
sons one mile away were lifted from
their feet from the conclusion and the
Jar was felt for ten miles. Fire fol-
lowed the explosion but the flames were
quickly extinguished.

THE THORN TRIAL.
Prosecution Fails to Use Mrs. Mack
as n Witness.

as n Witness.
New York, Nov. 27.-Lawyers Howe
and Moss, who have diligently de-
Tended Martin Thorn, met Friday with
a serious and unlooked-for obstacle
when, after a brief adjournment, Dis
trict Attorney Youngs informed the
court that the people rested their case.
1t was generally expected that Mrs.
Mack would be put on the stand to re-
iterate her confession, and the lawyers
who had been assigned to look after
Thorn's interests thought that she
would repeat her statement of two
weeks ago. Later in the afternoon Dis
trict Attorney Youngs said that he was
not prepared to say whether Mrs. Mack,
who had made such famous scene in
the first trial by her confession, would
be produced or not. The case, as far
as the district attorneys opinion went,
was fully proved without the woman's
testimony. Later on, however, one of
Mr.. Youngs' advisers said that in case
the defense put Martin Thorn on the
stand, the prosecution would certainly
produce Mrs. Mack in rebuttal.

one daughter and four sons are left
to mourn the loss of a companion
and mother. Three brothers and
two sisters also survive her. She had
not been strong for some time, but
no danger was apprehended until she
was suddenly stricken, and suffered
but few days when death came to
her release last Sabbath, Nov. 81

War.
New York, Nov. 27.-As result of the
war now being waged between the Ar
buckle Coffee company and the Wool
son Spice company, the sales of coffee
during the week now ending have been
far In excess of any similar period DUR
ing the past year. Coffee brokers de-
clared Friday that their sales had been
doubled. The Woolson Spice company,
which is controlled by the Havemeyers,
Is selling Rio No. at nine cents a
pound. Not to be outdone, the Ar
buckles have made reduction in their
prices. Coffee is now cheaper than it
has been since before the war, say the
old dealers, and if the fight lasts there
is no telling at what price it will go for.
Another reason for the low price is to
be found in the enormous quantity of
green coffee now here.
