New Army Pistol
Is a Wonder,

NEW YORK. May Capable of dis
charging 116 bullets minute at a high
inicial velocity, the new Luger automatic
pistol adopted by the Board of Ordnance
and Fertilization for the United States
Army is in many respects remarkable
weapon. The inventor is George Luger, a
former officer in the Austrian Army.
H. Jauser, who came to this country to
submit th . Luger pistol to the Cove n-
ment, said that the new pistol was
the result Of ten years. experiment.
"In recent test at Washington the
pistol received the unanimous approval
of the members OF the board. It's chief
points are its fine shape, its balance, its
precision of aim, its rapidity of fire and
its great simplicity. 1t operates on the
link system, has magazine containing
eight cartridges, which is thrown out
when empty, and may be replaced by a
single movement. 1t uses a 32-caliber
bullet. The inicial velocity of 1900 feet a
second gives this bullet greater
striking effect than a 44-caliber bullet
front he pistol now in use in this
country"
The accuracy Of aim was shown by a
score of twenty-four bull's-eyes out OF
thirty shots by one man, who could
make only nine out OF twenty eight with
other styles Of pistol in the competition.

Brutal Murder
Killed With Hammer

UNION, Mo-, May sheriff Bruch ar
rived here to-day with Ed Rhine, the
young man who murdered Miss Mary
Schmidt about thirty miles from here,
near Beemont, Sunday morning.
According to Rinne' own story it was
one OF the most cold -bIooded murders
that ever occurred in this part OF the
State.
His story is that after the girls father,
Henry Schmidt, had gone out to do
some chores Sunday morning, he fol-
lowed her into a narrow passageway
which led from basement to summer
kitchen. Here he grabbed her by the
throat and pounced her on the head
with hammer until she sank to the
floor.
She was horribly disfgured. Her whole
forehead was smashed in and the bleod
and brains had oozed out in q most
sickening manner.
After the crime he had changed his
clothing and pat the bloody clothing in
the bottom OF his trunk, thrown the
hammer in the creek and gone to the
field to plow. as il nothing had hap.
| pened.
When asked why he killed her he re.
piled that he could not stand il to have
the woman scolding him for the treat
ment of the horses and stock generally
He also said he had another reason
| which he would not tell.

Grave Diggers
Out on Strike.

PHILADELPHIA, MAY 1.-The first strike
of grave diggers on record in this coun-
try has ended disastrously for thirteen
of them in Philadelphia.
Yesterday not man could be found to
dig grave at Holy Cross Catholic
Cemetery, because the regular hands
objected to the discharge of one OF their
number. His fellows demand that he
be reinstated was refused.
The grave-diggers declared that "corp.
ses might come and corpses might 20, -
but they would stay out forever-unless
the discharged man would be taken
back.
Supt. Thomas MingeY advertised for
new grave-diggers to-day, and fifty men
responded. twenty-five were put TO
work, and though q few burials we're
delayed before the new hands started in,
everything was soon in working order.
When four of the strikers reported later
they were paid off and told to seek work
in some other cemetery.

made without their knowledge aF con-
sent. The officers refused to bring suit
for possession, after being pressed by
the plaintiffs of this action who claimed
that the sale VAS void. Fearing that
they would lose all the money they put
into the Azurite, the Pennsylvania stock
holders decided to enter suit for ne ap-
pointment of receiver and the papers
were filed today in the district court.
The plaintiffs allege that the bylaws
and articles OF the corporation do not
authorize such transaction az the Off
GERS made. They further allege that the
Hugheses had sold copper bnllion ex-
ceeding 800, ,OC0, and that no accouSt in
detail was ever rendered or entored upon
the records, and no dividends were ever
paid to the stockholders. A portion of
the purchase price OF the claims, ma
chinery and smelter, however. was paid
from the sale OF this copper, and the bal
|'ance was paid by issuing capital stock.
The plaintiffs cay that the only money
paid for capital stock was paid by them,
and charge ''that owing to the wasteful.
unskilled manner OF working the mines
and conducting the business Of the COM
pany, debts aggrcgating $25, 200 were
contracted. OF this amount SIS 600 was
due L. Zeckendorf & Co., and this debt
was secured by. mortgage upon the
Azurite property. The mortgage became
due, and the mortgage refused to make
further advances. Suit was begun to
foreclcse the mortgage. The balance of
SIC, 900, which was due to employees and
others, became due, and there seemed TO
be no way of satisfying these debts, es-
pecially If the Zeckendorf mortgage was
satisfied. 7sa
On December IA, 1899 special meet
ing Of the directors was held. The plain
tiffs claim that no notice. was given OF
the proposed meeting and no particulars
of the business transacted was furnished
them. That at this meeting a resolu-
ton was adopted which provided for the
execution OF deed and agreement to
Shirley Christy which gave him posses
sion OF the Cyanide property. The con-
sideration was s25, 600, yet the plaintiffs
allege that no money was paid by Chris
ty. The transfer Of the property was
never confirmed by the plaintiffs or 9TH
! or stockholders. They claim that the
!, transaction is ultra wires of confirmation
and should be void in effect.
The serious charge OF fraud is made
against the Hughes family and the di-
rectors who sanctioned the transfer.

EL PAso. Tex, May i.--President ia.
cocks Of the Federal Smelter company,
which is now building large smelter In
Ell Paso, announced today that the com.
pany wonld not buy ores or smelt for in
dividnals. He said the company was in
the market for mines, but wonld not do
a custom business. This is taken to
mean that the smelter lie under an agree
ment with the smelter trust not to enter
the market with it, and only handle its
own ores. This lie bad news to many
mining men in this section who have
paying mines, but do not care to engage
in the smelling business, and it practi-

BosroN. Mass, May Mayor Leo

Waltham is great whist city. About a
year ago there was craze over the
game. Besides the parties that were
being held nightly there were many
morning and afternoon whist parties,
which were held at residences or in
some OF the small halls about the city.
Mrs. Kate Leyson Brown, president of
the Women's Christian Temperance
Union, told Waltham women that they
were neglecting homes and domestic
duties. She asked them to consider and
stop the whist craze. Complaints began
to reach Mayor Leonard by parents
whose children attended to the parties
against their wishes.
His Honor then thought he would
take hand and put stop to the
parties. He had consultations with Chief
OF Police Mckenna, and as result the
latter told the persons conducting public
whist parties that they must be dis
continued or prosecution would follow.
Mayor Leonard says:
"These parties are nothing but money
making schemes. The places are nothing
but gambling halls. II boy went into
