MURDERED IN COLD
 BLOOD BY HIS COUSIN.
Laboring Man Shot Because He Got Better Pay Than Did His
 Relative.

NEWCASTLE, Pa. Feb. 13.--A cold blooded murder was committed last night at Ellwood. Andrew Arisen, the mur- dered man, and Andrew Krubin, the mur- derer, were cousins and lived side by side on what is called Chicken Coop Hill. For long time the two men had been em- ployed in the Peerless Gas Works. It is said Krubin was jealous of Arisen, and threatened to kill him because the latter had obtained work in the Westinghouse plant at Pittsburg at higher wages.
 Last night when Arisen returned home he found Krubin there drinking beer. After a few words Krubin drew re- volver, placed it almost in Krisen's face and fired. The bullet entered below the eve and came out at the back of the head, killing the victim instantly.
 Krubin went to his home next door and kept the police and citizens at bay for some time with his revolver. He finally made his escape through back door and has not yet been captured.

LOUISVILLE: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 70, 1898.

Maria Gotti, and in his coat of arms
can be seen burning torch. Will the
prophecy of the Irish seer be fulfilled
Will Cardinal Gotti lay aside his mitre
that the triple crown may be placed
upon his brow? Or will the nineteenth
century laugh at the predictions of the
Irish saint and break the chain of his
predictions? Will the torch be quenched?
There are those who say it will bring
dire disaster to the Holy See if the proph-
ecy of Malachy is forgotten.
In the splendid and artistic ceremon-
ials of papal coronation there is simple
act performed. An attendant of the pa
pal chapel brings in a handful of flax on
a gilded rod; the master of ceremonies
burns this fax in the presence of the
Supreme Pontiff, saying solemnly:
"Holy Father, thus passes away the glory
of the world" Will the torch of Gotti
go out as the bit of hax1 Or will it be a
light to illumine the world when he sits
upon the throne of St. Peter?
That Cardinal Gotti is fitted to be the
head of the church no one doubts. His
life has been simple one, full of self
sacrifice and unceasing labor.
The son of Genoese 'longshoreman
he was brought up in poverty, and was
familiar from his childhood with the
sorrows of the poor. For many years
he was a brother of the Carmelite order,
passing his time in pehance and pray
ers.
At last he became its General, the
highest honor of the order. The Pope
finally appointed him Apostolic Nuncio
to Brazil, and then Cardinal, not because
he was brilliant man or a wonderful
leader, or even a great organizer, but
because he was holy man. 1t is said
that of all the prelates Gotti is most be-
loved by Leo. His gentle SOUL his pure
life, have endeared him to the Holy
Father
Leo XIII. is fine theologian, absolute
in his faith, magnetic in his personality
and the wisest of diplomats, but he sees
in the son of the Genoese 'longshoreman
the nobility of soul that makes man a
power among his fellow-men.
Gotti is learned man and an upright
man, but he has neither the wonderful
intellect nor the fascinating personality
of Leo XIII. 1t has been said of him
that he would not make a great Pope,
but good one.
Leo XIII. has read the prophecies Of
st. Malachy. He knows that the motto
of the next Pope is "The burning torch. -
Perhaps it is for that reason he has been
heard to allude to Cardinal Gotti as "my
successor"

August 2, but it never mentioned the
Nebraska boys or the Eighteenth. They
were the boys that did the fighting that
night and they fought until their last
shell was gone, and they had the Span
iards already retreating when the Cali
fornia volunteers came from camp in
double time. If you read the papers you
will find that there were more of the Ne
braska volunteers hurt or killed than any
other outfit in the trenches. The reason
why was they had fighting metal in them
and they jumped on top of the breast
works to follow the Spaniards when
three or four of their comrades were
killed. The officers could hardly get
them back in the trenches. So that is
how they were killed. If you walked
over the same ground that we fought the
battle OIL you could not tell that there
was one fought there. The rice fields
have grown up and the trenches are al
most level with the ground, with thick
growth of grass over them. The only
thing that remains to tell of it at all is
the old fort. There is hole through and
through it large enough to admit a box
car to pass. One of Dewey's shells struck
it and killed and wounded from twenty
five to forty-fve Spaniards. Another sign
remains in the cut-up condition of the
trees all around. They are cut and rid
died by Mauser bullets and shrapnel
shells, which burst all around us, and, l
tell you, when we look at them and think
of what we have gone through we have to
laugh at ourselves and say we did not
think it was so fierce, but when you go
right out and look at all these things,
then is when you come to find out what
it was you went through. John, l had
my picture taken about two weeks ago.
l mailed three of them to you-one for
Jimmie, one for yourself and one for

shows the beach where that tough fight

you will like them, but l send them any
way, and l want you to keep them in
memory of the battle of Manila and your

more than / would like to mention in

ter you write me If you got the letter

AMNESTY.
Great Demonstration to We'll
come Back to Liberty
Irish Patriots.

Just at present the amnesty demon
stration held in the Rotunda fits in with
peculiar significance. Men of all sec
tions in national politics came together
to welcome back to liberty the Irish
patriots that England attempted to de-
grade as criminals and common felons,
says the Dublin Saturday Herald. Such
a meeting proves to the nations of Eu-
rope today that the difference between
England and Ireland is an international
one, and not a mere passing phase of
local unrest. Who were the men that
the citizens of Dublin met and honored
that night? They were one and all
treason felons, sentenced in a time of
panic because they strove to free their
country by means outside the constitu-
ton. Naturally enough in England, but
unuaturally with some people in Ireland,
it is the custom to look askance at the
movement which has rescued many and
will rescue the remainder of these men
from felon's graves within English pris-
ons. But that the public opinion of Ire
land is solidly behind the movement
such meeting shows. England has her
self to blame in this matter as upon all
others in which we strive to subvert her
interests. These prisoners, if they were
really dynamitards, as the English press
and people pretend, should have been
tried under the explosives act, which
was rushed through the House of Com
mons for the very purpose OF dealing
with such offenses. Had the Govern
ment elected to do this, any prisoners
convicted would long since have been
liberated, like the Walsall anarchists
and others so tried and convicted. Thus
the whole matter would be "a concluded
incident" as the French say, and minis
tiers would have no further trouble. In
stead of acting in accordance with the
law specially provided and with natural
justice, the Government of the day
elected to try the prisoners as treason
felons,- for the political purpose of dam
aging the constitutional movement led
by Mr.. Parnell at the time. An informer
was found. The men were proved to be
Fenians, and were sentenced as such
that is, as political founders. Thus it is
that the Irish heart warns toward them,
and that all liberty-loving men espouse
their cause.

is no denying. The following letter from
Mr.. Timothy J. Riordan, formerly a
well-known Irish resident of this city, at
tests to their treachery and worthless
ness. 1t was written to Mr. John Dolan,
under date of October 5, and was re-
ceived here Sunday, being one month in
transmission. Mr.. Riordan had very
lively time at Cavite, and from his ex-
perience at Manila it would seem that
soldering in the Philippines is not as
pleasant as many imagine. He has many
friends in this city, who will be delighted
to hear from him through these columns.
From his interesting letter we extract the
following:
Dear John-I received letter from you
today, dated eight days after the battle
and surrender of Manila. l tell you
felt good and happy, for 1 have received
only three letters from Louisville since
got here. l wrote to you and Mr.. Tandy
from Cavite. From there sent Tandy
some relics got from Spanish prisoners
whom the insurgents had. One thing
did not tell you was the number of prison
ers we had. We have about IA, 900 inside
the walled city. Uncle Sam is feeding
them and they get but two hours out in
the morning ana two in the afternoon
There are draw-bridges to this city and
we have guards at them all, so they can
not get out. You can bet your life l have
seen service enough by this time, but il
is not the fighting or the few hardships
we have to go Through that have made me
see service enough. 1t is the doggedness
and tyrrany of our officers, for whom,
guess, the papers in America are singing
hymns of praise. If the men in this army
could only have their way the papers in
America would sing hymns somewhat
different. Old boy, am safe and sound
and came through the thick of the battle
with another Louisville boy as partner
singing our "Old Kentucky Home. II
was like going to picnic, but it was a
little too hot. Talk about your balls al
Louisville; we had succession of balls
on August 10; we had steel balls and lead
balls and brass balls, while the band con-
cluded with "What hot time in the old
town" there was for us. We were wet,
dirty and tired, and sleepy and hungry,
too, for the bareback we put in our
knapsacks got all wet from the heavy
rain that fell on the morning of the bat
tie. The evening we captured the city
went on guard at about 4:30 O'Clock OF
somewhere near that hour, and / tell you
when got off next evening did moi
need bed to sleep on laid right down
on the stones and slept the sleep of the
tired and needy man. Every morning
for about month we would send out
about $50 men for guards, not to mind
what other regiments would send out too
The guard has fallen down to six in my
