1t seems peculiar that Republicans are not
looking through long distance telescopes to
discern the faintest glimpse of returning pros
perity, because they know that when condi-
tions are favorable prosperity will return as
adversely always does when unfavorable.-
Granite Falls Tribune.
Yes, it is peculiar, very, that Republicans
should know any such thing after all the
instruction they have had for four years from
such fellows as you that prosperity couldn't
possibly get back until your old party got
another whack at peoples pockets. If they

BLLBRSICK'S BACK PAY.
Pension Case in Which $25, 600
Is Involved = Missouri
Mans Claim.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2SS, 1s97.--A pen
sion claim which has been pending twen-
ty-seven years and which, if admitted,
would carry back pay OF s25,00o, was de-
cided today by Assistant Secretary of the
Interior Davis. 1t is the case of Gottlieb
Ellersick, of Missouri, whose claim for
alleged total blindness due to disease of
the eyes contracted during the military
service In 1864 is rejected.
The case has attracted much interest
and presented many perplexing features,
but it was found that no record of the
existence of any disease of the eyes in
the service existed, nor was there com
petent testimony to show the incurrence
of any such disability in the service. The
claimant was discharged from the army
in 1865 and did not lose his sight till 1868
No effort TO establish his claim, pre-
sented in 1870, was made until 1890, twenty
five years after his discharge when most
of those who could have testified from
personal knowledge were dead. The de-
cision holds that the claimants own
statements were inconsistent and fatty
contradictory of his most important wit
nesSes, aside from which the physicians
and oculists decline to accept the cause
of his present blindness as due to any
service origin.

INTERNAL REVENUE AGENTS.
Inspectors From WASHINGTON Ex-
pected In This Cfty-Eheir Duties.

Vuspectors From washington tx
pecred in This Cfty-Ebeir Duties.
The local deputy collectors of internal
revenue are today giving extra attention
to business and the liquor and cigar deal
ers who are compelled by law to exhibit
Government licenses in their places OF
business and to cancel stamps on cigar
boxes and beer barrels are on the alert
to show they are complying with the law
in every particulars
The reason for this sudden awakening
is an expected visit from special agents
of the Internal Revenue Bureau from
Washington. The inspectors, seven in
number, were in Newark yesterday, and
no man knows what city they will swoop
down upon next.
The mission of the inspectors is to see
that the law is being complied with in
all respects, that the license certificates
are displayed, that they are properly made
out, and also that in the case of goods
which are required to be stamped, the
stamps are destroyed after being used.
Another important duty of the inspectors
will be to examine the work of the local
deputies and see if they are performing
the work which the law requires of them.
The agents began operations in New
York last week and in Newark yesterday.
Just when they will visit this city is not
known, as they give no notice of their
coming but it is not likely that the city
will be skipped as it affords large field
for investigation.
The agents conduct their investigation
by visiting all saloons, drug stores, cigar
stores, factories and all places compelled
to have licenses or use stamps. The
penalty is $50 fine for not displaying
United States liquor license. either tackled
on the wall or placed in a frame. There
is also a penalty of the same amount for
not scratching the revenue stamp from
the labels on the cigar boxes that have
been used and a like penalty for not de-
stroying the revenue stamp on whiskey
barrels and beer kegs.
In other cities where they have been the
inspectors visit has caused much excite
ment among those who have dealings with
the Internal Revenue Department. In
New York the dealers were taken by sur
prise and generally did not have their
licenses displayed and had either for
gotten or had not had time to destroy the
cigar whiskey and beer labels. There
were several arrests following the dis
putes between the deputies and the deal
ers and manufacturers.
The specials not only demand, it is said,
to see the licenses properly displayed, but
want to make an inspection of the cellars.
AT least hundred saloons in Newark
were visited by the specials yesterday.
No arrests were made.

PROCESS BUTTER ANALYzED.
Chief of Bureau OF Animal Endus
PrenentN HIS aRepOrt.

WASHINGTON, Nov %, 1S97.-Dr. D.
E. Salmon, Chief of the Bureau of Ami
NAL Industry of the Agricultural Depart
ment, has made a report to- the Secre-
tary of Agriculture, on what is known
as the Board-on process of making but
ter. The report describes the process,
which consists of churning certain
quantity of butter with cream, and also
the experiments conducted by the de-
partment.
The resulting compounds were sent to
New York, where an expert was request
ed to score them. He reported as fol-
lows
.'In relation to the three boxes of but
ter marked x, Y, q, will say that, upon
examination of the same, my opinion is
that it is what is known on our mar
ket as process BUTTER and on that class
of butter / can neither place a grade or
score, as I have no rule to govern grade
on manufactured butter under this pro-
cess. 1t cannot be classified as cream

butter, and we have no grading on any
other kind of butter except these kinds.

Dr. Salmon then says
'sBy following the directions given in the

purpose a product will be obtained which
resembles butter in some respects. 1t

the phosphate and other elements that

body than is found in good butter, but
dairymen endeavor to wash and work
these elements out of their butter because
they furnish food for bacteria, which
cause the butter to spoil. AS a human
food, the product cannot be said to be bet
ter than butter for the reason that it con-
tains less fat and more water The slight
increase in nitrogenous constituents
amounts to little from this standpoint, as
the same can be obtained in much cheaper
and better form in milk.
Considering the large proportion of wa
ter which the product manufactured by
the new process contains, it does not seem
proper to call it butter, and it is a Ques-
fion whether it would be allowed to be

MAY KELLARD ON TRIAL.
The Freak Tombs Angel Before a
Jury. Charged with ForgerY.

NEW YORK, Nov. %, 1S97.-The trial
of May M. Kellard for forgery was con-
tinued here today. Prosecutor Lloyd in
his charge denounced Miss Kellard and
traced her relations with William G.
Wood, the insane millionaire, with con-
siderable frankness. Miss Kellard wept.
Colonel Haire opened for the defence
and made an appeal to the jury for his
client. Mrs. Mary D. Spencer, the chief
witness against Miss Kellard, who claims
that the prisoner obtained $3.50 from her
on notes signed with the forged sigma
ture of Mrs. William D. Wood, was ex-
amined. Mrs. Spencer gave testimony as
to various note transactions which she
had with Miss Kellard.
Were you offered 81, 500 for the convic-
ton of this woman?" asked Colonel Haire.
After an objection on the part of the
prosecution had been overruled Mrs
.Mr. Thomas offered it to my lawyer. :"

GRBBNVILLE's KILKENNY CATS.
EgEnks and Leaguers Still Rowing
Over the Harmony Revolutions.

At the meeting of the Minkakwa Re-
publican Club, last evening, resolution
was passed inviting the League Club TO
nominate man to be elected to the
County Committee at the primaries to
be held in December. If the League con-
sents to nominate one of its members
the "Minks'' will also nominate man,
as two members will be elected from
that ward This certainly does look as
if the "Minks'' wanted harmony, and
some think that it's the result of the
conference between the harmony COM
mittees. 1t is not known just yet whether
the Leaguers will consent to the plan
of the ''Minks," for they claim that they
can elect both committeeman if they,
try. But the Leaguers say that the
'.Minks"s hold the enrolment books
which of course makes a big difference
The above resolution will be sent to
the League Club in time for its meet
ing Wednesday evening. President Mer-
ker, at the meeting last evening, denied
that he said the League Club wanted
Jobs, money and other things The
reason, he said, that ne did not deny this
before was that the Harmony Commit
tee of the club had passed a resolution
to the effect that they would not notice
newspapers. 1t will be remembered that
the members of the League Club, at its
meeting last Wednesday evening, gave
President Merker an awful raking over
the Goals for making that remark Of
course Merker denied the story, but the
Leaguers swallow his denial with grain
of salt
The Leaguers will meet Wednesday
evening and the report of the Harmony
Committee will be read. A hot time IS
expected and a large turnout is looked
for.

FARMER BEATEN BY NEGRO.
Deadly Assault With Milking Stool
THAT Way Prove Fatal.


GREENWICH, Conn. Nov. %, 1Ss7.-An
assault, which may be murder, was
committed in Quaker Ridge, at an early
hour last evening, the victim being far
mer named Henry Oates, aged "a years.
His assailant is an unknown mulatto.
Quaker Ridge is a tiny settlement located
in the northern section of the town of
Greenwich, about five miles from the CEN
tire.
For twenty-seven years Henry Oates
has had charge of the farm of Mrs. Chas.
Savage. Last evening, between five and
six o'clock, Oates went to the barn and
proceeded to milk the cows. While he
was at this work there came a knock
on the barn door and in response to his
summons a big negro entered. Farmer
Oates is of gigantic statue, and accord
ing to his description of his assailant,
the negro is almost as large. The color
ed man asked Oates if he had work to
give him, and the farmer replied mega
lively. The two talked until Oates had
finished milking and as the farmer left
his milking stool, the negro, without
Oates to the floor with fierce blow
How many times he struck him is not
known, but he rified Oates pockets, Sc
curing a few nick-knacks, ETC., and left.
The stricken farmer was unconscious
for some time. but finally managed to
crawl to the farm house Mrs. Savage,
who is about so years of age, dressed the
mans wounds and succeeded in giving an
alarm. Deputy Sheriff Fitzroy- was noti-
fed shortly before midnight and with DR..
Schnell, went to Quaker Ridge. The
physician found that Oates had sustained
compound fracture of the skull and the
bones of his jaw were smashed. The
physician expressed the opinion that the
man is likely to die at any time. The au-
thorities are searching for the negro, who
in his conversation with Oates said he
hailed from White Plains, N. Y No clue
has been obtained so far.

SqEiGBR'S doom.
The Slayer of a New York Po-
lieeman on His Way to
the Electric Chair.

NEW YORK, Nov. 49, 1S97.-Constantine
Steiger, alias Fritz Meyer, was this morn
ing sentenced TO die in the electric chair
at Sing Sing, in the week beginning
January TO- for the murder of Policeman
Smith of the Fifth street station, three
weeks ago. When Steiger was arraigned
for sentence in the Criminal Branch of
the Supreme Court he was extremely
nervous as he stood before Justice Furs-
man.
The convicted murderer plucked nerv-
ously at his coat while Justice Fursman
was speaking.
tYou have been legally convicted" said
the Justice. 1.-THE jury could do nothing
else You confessed your guilt, and
now sentence you to die in the electric
chair in the week beginning January 10.
and may God have mercy on your soul"
Steiger appeared to be glad that the
ordeal was over. He was led back to the
Tombs looking pale and haggard.
Sheriff Tamsen was in court at the
time After consultation with Steiger's $
lawyer the Sheriff decided to take the
condemned man to Sing Sing this after
noon.
1t was reported around the Tombs Pris-
on this morning that Steiger was confess
ing his long list of crimes to a priest for
the purpose of making his peace with the
world and receiving the rites of the Cath
olic Church before the sentence of death
about to be imposed on him would be full
filed.
Father Sander of ST. Leonard's Church
called at the Tombs at eight O'Clock. 1t
was in st. Leonard's Church that Steiger
was married and his children were chris
tened. Father Sander on his last call had
been treated scornfully by Steiger, but to-
day the meeting was different. Steiger
with tears in his eyes, greeted the priest,
and the two went to one end of the cor
ridor where they conversed IN low tones
until nearly nine o'clock, when they were
interrupted by the arrival of Steiger's
wife Cecilia and his sister Kate. who live
at No. 1863 Meserole street, Brooklyn.
This was the first time Steiger had seen
his wife for more than two years. At that
time she left him because she learned that
he was thief. Both seemed to have for
gotten the past at the meeting this morn
ing. as they kissed each other repeatedly
and embraced affectionately.
After few moments talk the entire
party adjourned to CELL 16, on Murderers
Row. There the party stayed until lO:30
O. clock, when Steiger was taken to court,
where Justice Fursman imposed the SEN
tence of death.

Refining Company had planned to smut
down one of its refneries for the WIN

selecting the Jersey City refinery as the
one to be sacrificed until the dispute
with the Street and Water Board arose.
When it appeared that that had been
settled by the passing of the original res
olution and the signing of it by Mayor
Hoos, all idea of selecting Jersey City
as the closing point was abandoned and

Mayor Hoos was exceedingly surprised
when he was informed that the American

stop work in Jersey City.

to hear that the city is to lose so good a

The Sugar House Company has for a

A SMALL BROTHER WITH MATCHES
Absent Mother Came Eome to Find
the BABY fn Flames.

Mrs. Thomas Kenney, of No. "a Park
avenue, Hoboken, left her two small chill
dren and a five months old baby in her
home this morning while she went to a
near by grocery store. When she came
back a few minutes later she met her
boy Johnnie, five years old, in the hall
way. The youngster was apparently
frightened. On seeing his mother he
shouted: Mamma, baby all burned up"
Mrs. Kenney ran into the room and
found the child in the baby carriage,
where she had left it. The baby's clothing
was afire and the flames were spreading
rapidly over the childs body. Mrs.
Kenney succeeded in extinguishing the
flames but not before the baby's right arm
was badly burned. The infant was taken
to ST. Marys Hospital
Little Johnnie and his two and half
year old brother Willie watched their
mother put. out the fire and seemed to en-
joy the excitement. When the danger was
over Johnnie told his mother that he had
climbed up on chair. and got some
matches from the mantelpiece while she
was absent.
