A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.

Bayou Lacombe. a small settlement
eleven miles east OF here. has been the
scene of a terrible tragedy. News has
just been received here of a desperate
fight btween Arthur and Edward Jolie
on one side and Laurence and Edward
Cousin on the other, which resulted
in the killing of all the participants
concerned. Shot-guns and pistols were
the weapons used The cause of the
difficulty is attributed to an old fam
lily feud. On account Of the remote
ness OF the place and the lack of or
binary means of communication, the
details are necessarily very meagerl
Coroner Pigott has been notified and

to users of electric apparatus every
where was closed here to-day. East

A VERDICT
Expected To-Day in the Cases of the
Officials Who Took Part in the
Lynching of Arroyo, at the City of
Mexico.

Mexico, City, Mexico, November 21.-
The trial Of the policemen and officials
of police who took an active part in
the killing of Arroyo, the would-be
assassin of President Diaz, draws to a
close, and the verdict is expected to-
morrow. Great crowds have attended,
and it has been difficult to prevent the
packing of the court room in the pal
ace Of justice to overlooking
Members of all grades of society
have been present and perfect order
has prevailed. The accused realize the
seriousness of their position and the
prisoners van is called when they are
taken from the court, showing the
strength of the public feeling against
them.
Last night the prisoners were kept
in the palace of justice, so great were
the crowds in the street awaiting the
appearance of the van. The prisoners
are well guarded and a mob cannot get
at them. One Of the attorneys for the
defense told the jury that the case
was attracting the attention of the civ
iliZed world and that the reports were
going by the Associated Press all over
the globe.
Prosecuting Attorney Aszpe, a young
man who has won brilliant triumph
in this case and who, with admirable
self possession, has refrained from re-
plying to the innuendoes of the oppos-
ing counsel, made one of the most
notable arguments in the history of the
Mexican bar.
The case goes to the jury in the
morning. and it is expected they will
take ten hours to arrive at a verdict
Popular belief is that of the eleven
men for whom the public prosecutor
asks capital sentence all will be con-
demned and shot No case has ever
attracted more attention here and the
trial has been eminently fair, the pris-
oners being allowed every opportunity
to prove the extenuating circum-
stances.

Lost in q Great Fire in Melbourne,
Yesterday---The Blaze in the Very
Heart of the City.

Melbourne, November 21.-A great
fire broke out here at two o'clock this
morning, and despite the desperate eff
forts of the fremen the entire block
bound by Elizabeth, Flinders and Swan
son streets and Flinders Lane, with
the exception of two buildings on the
Swanson street front, were destroyed
within three hours. This is located in
the very heart of the city. A strong
wind was blowing and the fiery famed
flames rapidly engulfed building after
building.
The burned section included many of
the largest business houses in Mel
bourne The buildings were completely
Quilted. AS most of them contained
goods, the flames progressed with a
rapidity which defied all checking, and
in the furious wind ashes and burning
debris were carried into the suburbs,
a distance of two miles.
1t is estimated that the loss will reach
100000 pounds sterling ($5,OOO, OOO)
while the trade has received a serious
setback. Hundreds of employees of all
sorts have been suddenly thrown out
of employment.

THE CONSERVATIVE LEADER AR
RIVES.

RlVES.
New York, November 21.-Marquis
Apezteguia, leader of the Conservative
party in Cuba, arrived here to-day on
the French liner La Champagne, from
Havre.
The Marquis said he had been in
Spain for the last year and that he is
going to leave this city for Havana
on Wednesday, probably by way of
Tampa. He spoke very guardedly of
the Cuban war and SPANS attitude to-
ward America
1T seems" he said, "as though the
attitude of the United States is hostile
to Spain, though, perhaps, it is not
meant to be so.''
The Marquis repeated the oft-cabled
statement that the Liberal party in
Spain has been much opposed to Gen.
Weyler's methods of warfare in Cuba,
although the Conservatives were not
inimical to Weyler. The Marquis also
said that from recent accounts in the
public press he thought affairs in Cuba
were moving satisfactorily for Spain.
Whether Marquis Apezteguia is
bound for Cuba with a specific govern
ment mission, he did not say. 1t is
hardly probable, as the party of which
he is the head is by no means the sup
porter of the Sagasta ministry.
LATE PRISONERS SICK.
Havana, November 21.-About sew
enty of the recent inmates of the
Matanzas Jail have been stricken

and the sick persons have been trans
ferred to more healthful quarters,
where they will be provided with
medicine and nourishment; while other
steps have been taken TO avoid an in
crease of the epidemic. Captain Gen.

transcription on behalf of-the afflicted
persons and has himself subscribed

The Belmont Trades and Labor As
sembly met in the G. A r. Hall, at
Bellaire, yesterday with Henry Kun
kle, the vice president, in the chair.
About fifteen delegates were present.
After prayer and roll call the minutes
of the last meeting were read and
adopted. The first subject of import
ance brought up was in relation to
the Bellaire strike and in regard to
the six miners of local union No. 922,
who are supplying coal for the blast
furnace. At the last meeting resolu-
tons were passed declaring that all
union men who continue to work at
the steel works would be blacklisted.
These miners continued to work and
the matter was considered whether
it should be demanded that they quit
or be blacklisted. A delegate from the
coal miners union was present and
protested against any action being
taken against the six miners for not
stopping work and explained that the
coal which they furnished was used
for fuel in pumping water for the
blast furnace and was not connected
with the steel works. This view was
taken by the assembly and a resolu-
ton was offered and passed exempting
these miners and the blast furnace
workers from the demands of the reso-
luton passed at the last meeting.
Under the head of boycotts the
strike situation was again discussed.
A committee was appointed to call on
boarding house keepers and merchants
and make an effort to prevent these
parties furnishing board or merchant
disc to the new men at the steel plant.
Several committees reported on va
rious matters. The question OF 2m-
polling stationary engineers to get a
license, as required by State law, was
debated, and the committee on organ
ization was instructed to do all in its
power to organize these men and in
duce all stationary engineers to take

N. {. CHURCH CONGRESS.
A Notable Session Inaugurated at
Pittsburg.
One of the Questions to Be Treated
Is Whether the Church Can Meet
Any More Fully Than It Does the
Demands Of Our TImes--Church
Policy Will Not Be Considered.

Pittsburg, Pa, November 21.-Pitts-
burg has, perhaps, never been the scene
of more notable religious gathering
than the Methodist Episcopal Church
Congress, which began a six-days' SEES
sion at Christ Church this morning. In
conception, purpose and treatment it is
unique in ecclesiastical annals, and
marks an epoch in religious history.
The call for the Congress, which was
signed by Bishops Vincent, Ninde and
Fitzgerald and many prominent Metho-
dist educators, says:
1.-THE Congress does. not propose to
invite or favor destructive criticism Of
existing institutions; but simply to
1 bring out from persons representing diff
ferent phases of intellectual activity, a
frank expression as to whether the
Church can meet any more fully than
it does the demands of our times; and
if SO, wherein its inactivities may be
modified or
DIRECTED TO ADVANTAGE.
The Congress will not cencorn itself
with questions of church policy, but
with issues bearing upon the relation of
the people, as effected by current scien-
tific and literary teachings. The Con-
greSS will aim to secure an adequate
presentation of the tendencies of cur
rent scientific and literary teachings
and also suggestions as to the best SER
vice to be rendered by the church in
interpreting those tendencies for the
spiritual and intellectual advantage of
its followers"
The list of speakers who will attend
the Congress includes the names of
many of the brightest men in the de-
nomination, and the topics announced
for discussion are such as will doubtless
prove attractive to all thinkers with
out regard to their denomination affil-
iations.
Delegates from all parts Of the coun-
try Will be present during the week.
THE INAUGURAL SESSION

with which the movement has been re-

A GRANDMOThER'S RULER.

Somebody's grandmother has bequeathed
to her descendants these admirable ru, es of
conduct:
One is: Always look at the person to
whom you speak. When you are addressed,
look straight at the person who speaks to
you. DO not forget this.
Another is: speak your words plainly; do
not mutter OF humble. If words are worth
saying, they are worth pronouncing dis
tinctly and clearly.
A third is: Do not say disagreable things
If you have nothing pleasant to say, keep
silent.
A fourth is: Think three times before you
speak once.
Have you something to do that you find
hard and would prefer not to do? The lis
ten to wise old grandmother. Do the hard
things first and get it owe" with. If your
lesson is taught, master it. If you have
done wrong, 20 and confess it. Ii the gar
den is to be weeded, weed it first and play
afterward DO first the thing you don't
like to go, aud .i.e., wti. {. c.3e.I conscience,
