people are apt TO jump at conclu-
sions." said a chemist, in speaking OF
the latest notable murder case. Chem
istry is a very nice science. but it is
possible to make some sad blunders
in applying it to law and evidence.
There are certain things you can prove
by il if YOU are sure of your premises
and certain other things that you can
not. This thing of trying TO prove
good deal by chemistry calls to mind the
beef-extract case that gave packer in
this city considerable uneasiness.
Somebody got hold of his beef ex-
tract and claimed that il was made
from horsehesh. and it was proved by
analvsis-that Is. to the satisfaction of
the man, that analyzed it. The ordinary
test for horseflesh, according TO The au-
thorities. is glycogen. This is sub
stance that, speaking in general way,
IS found in horseflesh, but does not
exist in beef, and it was shown that
this particular extract contained gly-
cogen.
.The packer came TO US in some dis
iress Of mind for way out Of the
difficulty. He said his extract was
made Of nothing but oeef. and he want
ed us to help him prove il, and we did
so 10 his relief and to the satisfaction
Of the health officers. We demonstrated
that. while an ordinary piece Of beef
did not contain glycogen, it existed in
the heart. liver and blood OF cattle.
aud some of each of these might have
entered into the making Of the beef
extract. The result was that the chem
ist who had arrived al such sweeping
conclusions from the first test had to
hack down from his position. Chi

Columbus, o., July SIN an interview
President Ratchford said:
There is no longer any doubt that an
ultimate victory for the miners Is as
uured. The Cincinnati Central Labor
council has taken up the matter Of re-
lief and submitted its proposition to
the president OF the American Fedora
ton Of Labor, recommending that the
entire membership of that organization
be assessed 10 cents per man per week
which will amount to 100000 Assur-
ance of support from Mr.. Gompers of

glad to carry out eheir wishes.
ITO carry out this movement and in
sure its success the presidents Of the
various organizations will in few days
meet in conference to IDEAL with this SUBJ
ject.
indications also point to the fact that
railroad employees are taking q deep In.
terest in the mining troubles. which in
terest may lead to their refusal to handle
non-union coal during the present dis
turbance. The shipment Of coal from the
West Virginia fields to the market has
never exceeded 6 per cent of the whole
stock In any season. We recognize,
however, that 1t Is difficult matter &c
displace coal to which consumers De-
come accustomed.
"The remedy for this evil, II Il be an
evil, lies in the hands OF some Of those
VINO complain most bitterly. 1k n = de-
plorable spectacle to witness coal from
West Virginia finding It's way to the

the mining properties on such roads have
been standing In idleness, and the man.
ayers, both of the roads and the mines,
are giving q rate to West Virginia ship
pers which enables them to enter the
market at a less price than themselves.
Months ago we served timely warning
upon the operators Of the Pittsburg dis

II notice from the press that steps are
being taken to operate certain mining
properties in Ohio which are now in the
hands Of receivers, and under the pro-
lection of United States marshals This
is sad commentary upon the freedom
OF American citizens who are striving
for bread for themselves and their little

The key to the entire situation from

Desperate Attempt Made Last
Night to Assault and Rob
Rev. II. +. Kinnerney.
Exciting Incident Occurred on the
Lawn Near the ParOchiaI
Residence.
ASSAILANT MADE HIS ESCAPE.
Patrick Hawkins Came to the Priests Assist.
ance-Tbe Man Started Down South Bead
Street and Could Not Be Traced,

An unusually desperate attempt to,
assault Rev. H. F. Kinnerney, pastor OF st.
Joseph's Church, was made last night
while he was crossing the dividing lawn
between the church and the parochiaI resi-
dence.
About $50 o'clock tramp called at the
parochial residence and asked for Father
Kinnerney, saying that a relative of his
was dying and the servant directed him to
the church where the pastor was baptis-
ing some children. The man then went
to the church and began peering through
the windows.
After baptizing the children the rev.
erend gentleman started to leave the.
church, carrying In his hand a roll Of
bills amounting to about go. At the door
he was accosted by the tramp, who asked
for money.
Father Kinnerney asked him what he
wanted money for. He replied "Never-
mind. You've got lots of 1t and want
some and will have some," and at the same
time he struck at the priest, who was re-
treating toward the house.
The tramp followed, making desperate
attempts to strike the priest and get the
money, but the blows were lodged in
true athletic style. At this juncture
Patrick Hawkins came by on = bicycle and
seeing the situation dismounted and went
to the priests assistance.
He caught the man by the throat and
threw him to the ground, and Father
Kinnerney went into the house. Hawkins
then left the man and started for police
man, but the man upon being left alone
started on q run down South Bend street
and could not be traced.
