gether by friendships strongest tie.

Misses Minnie Mcdonald, Anna Eltva-
tor, Jean Lyle, Lizzie Martin, and the
Messrs. Willis Conner, Byron Conner,
Guy Conner and Nj. Dildine.

comfort me-" She was born in Easton,
this county, July l3, 1869, and was %
years old. An unusually large num-
Der of friends sympathize with the

nKxz's MURDERERs CONVICTED.
Not One OF Them Caught. but All Sentenced to
I6 Years imprisonment.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.-The Turkish soldiers
who killed Frank LEM, the young American
bicyclist, in Armenia several years ago, have
been convicted and sentenced to fifteen years i'm
prisonment. But according to the cabled mes
sage received at the State Department to-day
notifying Secretary Sherman of the result of the
case, not one OF the murdercrs was present at the
trial and sentence was pronounced in their alb.
sence. This typical Turkish way Of attempting
10 placate the United States meets with strong
disapproval at the department and a claim for
indemnity Is likely to follow.
Young LEM was a resident OF PittsburR. He
was sent BY Outing to make . bicycle tour
around the world, and was killed in Armenia,
near Erzeroum. Efforts made by the State De-
partment to secure the apprehension and con.
viction Of the murderers would nave been
futile il 1t had not been for the friendly interest
displayed by a British consular officer. He
secured the names Of the assassins and valuable
evidence against them. and reported the result
of his Investigation to this Government.
Of Turkish soldiers resting by the side OF the
road saw LEM on his bicycle, and disputed
among themselves whether the strange object
was man or devil.
we viii find out said one Of them. leyellinE
When the bullet strikes him, but il it is a devil
the bullet will not injure it."
Tho man fired and LEM fell. When the
United States Government made q demand for
tho arrest and punishment OF the murderers
they left the country, presumably on informa-
tion furnished them by Turkish officials. An
insistence by the United states that justice
should be done resulted in the farcical trial Just

CHICAGO. Dec. 2s.-The wheat pit was lively
again to-day, ..the market going to 81 for Decem-
Der the first time In nearly a week. 1t fell
again before the close. 1t is expected that with
the big deals between Letter and Armour, the
piling of g 5000, 600 bushels'of wheat in local ele-
vators, and tho efforts to be made by the shorts
to get In under cover, there will yet be exciting
times before next Friday evening.
JOE Letter spends most of his time at his
headquarters in tho Board of Trade building.
No one offers to hint what the bull clique will
do with its immense line Of wheat. Letter and
French both refuse to say whether or not they
have arranged to sell their wheat. But there
still remains the big pile Of wheat to dispose OF,
and it may safely be said that traders in all
the worlds markets are watching tho wheat
stored in this city. Mr.. Letter said. however.
that he had disposed OF n big amount OF spot
wheat in Liverpool at prices better than the
market quotations in that city. In answer to
rumors that he proposed to devote all his atten.
ton in future to the grain business he said
that after the holidays he would return once
more to his Clark street office and leave the
active work to his associates.
Mr.. Letter does not appear a bit worried over
the grain in his possession, and il sending out
orders to buy more wheat and oats. An addi-
tional supply of May wheat was contracted for
by the clique to-day. There are z, 257, 900 BUSH
els of contract wheat in Chicago to-day, and
that quantity represents the amount of wheat
which the Letters will have to take care OF.

Records saved.
The executive offices of the village of New
Brighton. in the village Hall on Lafayette
avenue, were ruined by fire last evening and
hundreds OF official records of tho village went
up in smoke. 1t is thought that the loss Of the
records will seriously hamper the village in
closing up it's business this week, and will prove
n great annoyance TO those who had claims
against the village.
The fire started between q and 7 o'clock. The
flames were discovered by the ~janitor. They
first appeared over the desk of Clerk Joseph F.
O'Grady in the clerks office. The room was
deluged with water but the fire blazed furiously
for over an hour. Then the flames were finally
extinguished. The clerks and treasurer's office
was completely burned out. The woodwork
was ruined and the walls were demolished.
The records of the village. many of which
were contained in filing cabinets, were badly
charred. Others were SO badly burned as to be
undeciphcrable. and many were burned to ashes.
The more valuable records were kept in a safe
and escaped injury.
The meeting room of the Board Of Trustees
was flooded with water. and many of its appoint
ments were ruined. The fire was attributed to
a crossed electric light wire. Tho loss on the
building will be about $1,000. covered by insur-
ance.

CHICAGO. Dec. 2s.-The automatic pipe organ
in the main office of the Great Northern Hotel
was destroyed by fire this evening. The organ
cost $l5, 900 and was one OF the finest of its
kind in the country. The fire was caused by
the crossing of wires connected with the ~electri-
cal apparatus which operated it. Martin Mo
Mahon, a bellboy, discovered the fire and noti-
fed Night Clerk Glodrey. A general alarm
was given to the hotel employees fire depart
ment and quick and effective work was done.
As soon as tho flames burst out into the hotel
lobby there was a stampede that was almost q
panic. guests and loungers making all possible
haste to get out.
ment and Manager Eden sent bellboys to all the
rooms TO notify guests that they were in no
danger. Among the guests of the hotel was
Gov. Tanner, who WAS busily engaged in a con-
s~ultation with political friends and knew moth
ing of the blaze until notified of it, He went to
the office floor and watched the fremen fight
tho fire.
When the fire started tho organ was playing

ment was completely ruined and the organ bal
cony. WAS damaged to the extent Of %, 900.

she wants Ono or the Quests at q Famous
Dinner Andicted.

In May, 1895, q stag dinner was given in tho
studio Of James l.. Breeze, at 8 West Sixteenth
street, In honor of John Elliot Cowdin. The
giver Of the dinner was Henry W. Poor, and
present at It were n number Of well.known men,
including most OF the artists of reputation in
this city.
The feature of the dinner came late In the
evening. A huge pie was brought out and set
on the table. When 1t was cut a score OF canary
birds few out, and then appeared In the middle
Of 1t u young girl clad in q flowing robe OF black
gauze. The surprise was an immense success,
and tho pie girl" as she afterward was known.
received O great deal Of Advertisement in the
newspapers.
She was Susie johnson, who lived at that time
at Ninth avenue and Thirty-second street. Her
father was said to be q well-to-do mechanic.
Tho girl had been employed In several studios
as q model, but up to the time of the dinner had
not done much work Of that kind. After the
dinner, however, che was kept busy in the va
rious studios Of this city.
She has now asked the District Attorney to
go before the Grand Jury and secure the indict.
ment of one of the men who were present at the
dinner, whom she charges with having forcibly
assaulted her. She AYERS that as the result she
has become q mother.
Her story is that some time after the dinner

had been one of the guests. While she was
there another man who had boon q guest at
the dinner came into the studio. and during q
| temporary absence of the artist the visitor,
so the girl alleges. assaulted her. She asked for
his indictment on two counts. first that she was
under 10 at the time. and second that force
was used. She said that she had been a respec
table girl up to that time, and now she wanted
to get Justice.
District Attorney olcott has refused to say
anything about the case, but it is said on good
authority that his Office refused to take up the
case or have anything to do with IL until 1t came
up in regular procedure from a Magistrate's
court.
Tho johnson girl and her friends were told
that they would have to make a complaint
against the man in q police court. It is under
stood that the girls lawyers were told that the
case was Of such a nature, that both sides mus
be heard before steps could be taken, for, while
the story might be true, 1t might also be al
attempt at blackmail, and the District Attor
ney's office refused to take the responsibility o
blackening the character Of q man until a mos
thorough examination had been made not ONLY
OF the facts Of the case, but the girls character
and history. 1t was for this reason that Mis-
johnson was advised to go before a Police Mag
istrate.
