THAT ARCHER WHIPPING.
Fred Kopseker Tells Why Such Ac-
ton Took Place.

Mr.. Fred Kopseker. of 629 Quincy
street, whose name was mixed up in
the horsewhipping episode last Satur-
day night, makes the following state
ment:
Two years ago moved into Tom
Archers house at 725 Van Buren,
street. Shortly after that met a re-
spectacle gentleman who has been
citizen of Topeka for forty years, and
has known Tom Archer ever since The
gentleman asked me where I lived
told him at Tom Archer's house. He
advised me not to let Archer in the
house unless was at home. AS soon
as got home I inform ed my wife of
the news. 1t was quite natural for me
to tell my wife the whole story, and
after had told her she went direct to
Archer's office and related my entire
story to him, and ever since then
Archer has borne a grudge against me,
and tried hard to separate US, in which
ne finally succeeded. The last day OF
August. 1860, l left for Quincy, Ill, my
old home. I waited there for a position
as travelling salesman for some time.
The 18th day of December, 1900, re-
turned to Topeka and discovered to my
surprise that my wife had obtained a
divorce on the ground of abandonment,
claiming she didn't know where was;
at the same time she knew L was
boarding with her brother at Quincy
Ill. After my return here called on
had been my neighbors for two
and one-ha1f years. Being as
was divorced, got acquainted with a
young lady, by name Della Henderson,
and as Tom Archer heard of this ne
told Mrs. Ferrow that he would not al
low me to come into his house, for he
said he had it in for me and was no
good and the girl I went with was OF
low character Mrs. FerrOW replied to
Mr.. Archer, I'll give you to understand
we are keeping a decent house here,
and so far as Mr.. Kopseker and Miss
Henderson are concerned, they have al
ways acted as lady and gentleman;
shall tell Mr.. Kopseker and Miss Hen
derson what you have said about them
Mr.. Archer then said, Don't tell either
of them what I have said Neverthe-
less, Mrs. Ferrow did tell. AS soon as
Miss Henderson was told of what Arch
er had said. she went to see several
lawyers in order to prosecute him tOl
her character
THE legal advisers asked her $50, and
as she is a hard working girlshe didn't
feel disposed to spend that amount, SO
concluded that she was going to take it
out Of Archer's hide, which she did last
Saturday night in good shape
''She was fined SO and costs in police
court this morning for fiogging Archer
and says that she would have willingly
paid $40 for the opportunity"

JUST FOR HIS HEALTH.
Mayor of McKeesport Fines an
Opponent of the Strike.

Pittsburg, Pa. Aug. 27.-Reported
peace negotiations for the settlement
of the strike through the mediation Of
d1S1ntereSted parties received a jolt
when President Theodore J. Sha1ter, OF
the Analga1nated Association OF iron,
Steel and Tin Workers, declared abSO-
lutely that he had no official knowledge
of such proceedings that if such a move
had been started it did not have the
official sanction of the organization.
Nevertheless the subject will not down,
and 1t is said the conciliatory commit
tee of the Civic Federation, already
prominent in the matter, is fully pre-
pared to carry on negotiations and
viii, il necessary endeavor to enlist the
good offices of Archbishop Ireland
Bishop Potter, Daniel Hanna and Seth
Low, co-mem bers of their organization,
to give such prominence to the COM
mlttee that the proposal viii be re-
ceived by the steel corporation.
In the meantime both sides to the
controversy make claims of a victory
The steel people point to the gains
they have made all along the line in the
way of securing men and starting
plants, while the Amalgamated officials
say that instead of losing ground the
association is gaining every day, and
that while the combine has succeeded
in starting few plants they are not
turning out merchanta BILE materlal and
are losing money and breaking valua-
Bile machinery and in the end Will have
to ask their old men to come to the
rescue.
The steel people ridicule the claims of
the association, and point to the fail
ure to induce the South Chicago and the
Duquesne men to go on strike. as an
evidence the strength of the association
has departed.
The officials say the only plants at
which they expect difficulty are at the
Star ana the Lindsay and McCutcheon.
but they expect to overcome all the
troubles and have mills running full at
an early date.
The report from Wheeling is that the
manager of the Aetna Standard Sheet
plant of the American Sheet company
has received orders from the general
officers to dismantle sheet mill No. and
ship the machinery to Vandergrift, Pa.
The work of dismantling will be COM
menced at once.

Dawes-WOod mill $22 and costs and

the workhOuse in default of Bail Sher-
idan has been spotted for something by
the strikers because he said the strike
would not succeed and he wanted to
return to work At the hearing no in
formation was filed against him but the
mayor fined him because he heard he
had called him names. He then refused
a bond for the fine and refused to let
inspect the docket or trans
cript of case unless they would guaran-
tee the fine and costs. When asked his
reasons for such treatment of a pris-
oner he said;
Il just sent him up for his health"

sTAGNATI0N IN SHIPPING.
Vessels Leave New York Carrying
Almost No Cargoea.

New York. Aug 27.-Stagnatfon in
the shipping business at New York and
even more SO at the outports, is the
existing condition, according to the
Journal Of Commerce. which asserts
that shipping is demoralized and that
ship owners find themselves unable to
obtain business at any rates. The
dearth of merchandise is not confined
to any one department. It is quite
general, including manufactured prod
ucts as well as grain and provisions.
This condition of stagnatiOn," says
the Journal OF Commerce, applies to
the shipping business of the outDOrts
even more than to New York, as prac-
ticaliy all the freight business out Of
this port is carried in the regular line
packets, including the enormous freight
steamers of the White Star, Hamburg
American, North German Lloyd and
Atlantic Transport steamship lines,
well as the sna Iler freight carriers OF
the other lines. With these lines the
absence of demand for freight room is
indicated merely by the low rates at
which they offer to take cargo. 1t does,
not. however, interfere with the regular
sailing dates, for if they have not suffi-
cient cargo, they merely utilize their
water ballast compartments, and sail
light It is a fact that large steamers
with 1900 tons carrying capacity and
upward have left this port carrying
less than 5000 tons of cargo all told
