Consuls to Act as ArbftratOrs.

Paris.-It is the expectation in Off
sial quarters here that the Russo-Aus-
sro- Hungarian note to Turkey will
soon have practical result in the crea-
lion of the foreign consuls in Maced-
onia and other disturbed districts as a
council of administration to carry ont
the reformatory plans of the powers.
The Foreign Office is gratified at
the presentation Of the Russo Austrian
note, as it fully takes into consi dera-
tisn the wishes of France and Great
Britain. Therefore the note may be
said to be expressive of the desires
not only of Russia and Austria, but of
all of the European powers. The or
ganization OF council of the foreign
consuls is already under consideration.

American Sheet steel Company are ad-
iusted at once general strike OF the
union workers Of that company is

Front with Story of Cold BIooded AS.

murder mystery of thirteen years
Itanding, and which has been q matter
'f much speculation to the citizens of
CARROLL county, where the killing oc-
;urred, has at last been cleared up by
'ae voluntary confession of the only
eyewitness to the affair, who has,
trough fear of personal injury, kept
ais lips sealed. The facts were
Drought to light by the story of Will
Rhodes, now resident of w oakley
county. Mr.. Rhodes was formerly a
Mtizen of the Eighteenth District of
carroll county, and at the time of the
Killing he was a boy of Is years.
On May 26, 1890. W. F. Moody, q
Wealthy resident of Garrettsburg, in
The Eighteenth District, was murdered
in cold blood on the roadside as he was
.eturning home from town. The kill
ng occurred near CARROTS miIl in a
:emote part of the county. It caused
great amount of excitement. Sus-
3icion was attached to Levi Butler,
mother Citizen Of the district. with
whom Moody had trouble. Butler
vas indicted, but, owing to a lack
,f evidence, he was never convicted,
md she AGAR gradually quieted down.
About two months ago Levi Butler,
he man accused of killing Moody, was
himself waylaid an d shot i'm precisely
The same manner as was Moody.
Since the tragic death of Butler,
Will Rhodes now comes forward and
:elates the story of the assassination
If Moody thirteen years ago.. OF which
ae was a forced and terror stricken
witness, unknown to the murderer.
Young Rhodes was crossing field
bids fathers farm returning
home from fishing jaunt. As soon
IS he reached the fence he discovered
\ man crouching behind clay-root
bank overlooking the main road. The
actions of the man were suspicious,
and Rhodes, obser we'd that he, had a
gun in his hands.
Rhodes stopped behind the shrub
oery and awaited developments.
Presently w. F. Moody was seen. rid
ing leisurely down the road. As the
ansuspecting: man reached point in
the road directly opposite the hidden
assassin, the latter arose, and levellng
his weapon at Moody, fired both' bar
rels. The horseman fell to the ground
wounded. He lived but a
few moments. The murderer was in
plain view of the boy concealed behind
the fence, and the latter recognized
him as none other than the neighbor,
Levi. j. Butler. The shooter moved
off quickly up the road and disappear
ed. The thoroughly frightened boy
ran home as fast as his legs would
carry him, and from that day until the
present time he had not told of what
he had witnessed to even his parents.
The violent death OF Butler recently
left Rhodes free to tell of the occur
