PIECES BY WHITE MEN.
Crime was Committed On Wednesday But
Not discovered Until Friday Hor-

Aiken, August 1.--Abram Suras.
Ky, Jewish peddler living in
Aiken, was murdered near Haw-
thorne, in Aiken County, on Wed
nesday evening, by two white men
men, George Toole and Leo Green.
The body was not discovered until
FRIDAY evening ard Surasl1y's fam.
lly we're notified until Friday night.
last Tuesday Mr.. Surrasky
loaded his wagon with his packs End
started on his rounds. He is suu
posed to have stopped at Green's
house to sell his wares, as j, WAS his
custom to do, and 1t was then that
the two men carried ont their plan
OF robbery and murder.
Surasky was shot twice in the back
with gun, one arm was almost
severed from his body and his head
and body were hacked horribly with
an axe. When the body was dis.
covered 1t was impossible to recog-
'nize any semblanco of human be.
ing in the face, RS decomposition had
set in. Buzzards flying over the spot
attracted the attention of men pass-
ing by.
Sheriff Alderman and the Coroner
went to the scene Of the murder
early this morning. On searching
for clews the officers found a pool of
hlood in the yard Of Lee Green's
house, and other blood stains we're
discovered on melon rinds, and the
bloody axe WAS found under the
house.
AT the Coroner's inquest it WAS de-
veloped by the clues found that
Ioole and Green shot Surasky twice
IN the back and then cut him up with
an axe. The shots evidently did not
suffice to subduo their victim and the
axe was used to finish him. After
their work was accomplished thew
loaded the corpse in the victims own
wagon and drove to Il lonely spot in
the woods and tied the horse to
tree and left it. The horse becoming
hungry broke loose and pulled the
wagon with it's ghastJy lond away
from the spot where ho WAS tied to

negro man il suspected Of being an
accomplice in the crime, bnt so far

ANNULS THEIR CHARTER
Sam Parks Union Is Expelled by
President Of the National
Organization.

New York, Sept. Frank. Buchanan
and John w. Johnston. respectively presi-
dent and secretary Of the International
Association of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers, had a personal encounter yes
terday afternoon. Johnston Is also a
member of Local No. 2 Of. the House
smiths and Bridgemens' union and is a
follower Of Sam Parks. Buchanan has
been trying to- bring, about peace and has
called off certain . out-of- town strikes
ordered by Johnston:
Last evening SsPregident Buchanan an
nounced that he had annulled the charter
Of Local No, 2, " The housesmiths' and
bridgemen,s union, the Organization of
which Sam Parks Is the, virtual head, and
suspended the local union. This action
he takes under authority vested in him
by the constitution. ~ IS.
Mr.. Buchanan's letter was sent to the
meeting place Of Local No. e. It gives as
a reason that the union has called strikes
regardless Of contracts with the manufac-
turers and erectors' associations, which
provide for arbitration, which action Is
against the principles Of trade unionfsm;
that the union has attempted to involve
other locals in strikes which would be
against the agreement with their employ
ers, and against the interests Of the in
ternationa1 organization, as well as trade
unionism in general; and that members
Of the union who objected to these pro-
ceedings have been expelled.

Foreign Steel Men Are Not Yet Near

London, Sept 12.-Inquiry made at the
European offices Of the United States
Steel corporation to-day revealed the fact
that no serious Importance Is attached to
the statement made by the Brussels cor
respondent of the London Daily Telegraph
that negotiations are In progress between
representatives Of the large steel works
in Germany, Belgium and France for the
formation Of a European steel corpora
ton.
The Associated Press Is informed that
so far as known the continental manu-
facturers are no nearer a combination
than when the idea was first mooted about
year ago. 1t is pointed out, however,
that the prices of steel on the continent
are kept extraordinarily low, which will
facilitate the efforts to effect a combina-
ton, tho 1t Is doubted whether the vastly
differing interests and methods Of the
various countries concerned could ever be
united under one organization.

Big New York Combine Sells Out to
is ..., 81. It's Rival .~...

New York, Sept. 12.-Twenty- eight to-
bacco shops in this city, owned by the
Independent Ciga5 Stores company, are
reported to have been purchased by the
United Cigar Stores company, thus bring
ing the strife between the two combina-
lions to an end. It is understood that
more than half a million dollars was paid.
For nearly two years the retail cigar
dealers have been waging bitter warfare
against the United Cigar Stores oom-

Cigar Stores company was incorporated
and twenty eight stores were opened in
New York. A fierce price cutting war has
been waged, but the sale of the entire
chain to the United company will end the
conflict
