startling effect in every corner OF
Jour city. The particulars, as CLEAN
ed, are, that on Saturday, while shoe

kicked over the eye, which dazed
him to such an extent that for some
time he was partially unconscious
From this he rallied and made moth

the depot, as he was found lying
| close to the turn-table by railroad
hands, who had run the engine
which brought in the 800 train, onto
the turn-table for the purpose Of
turning it, In making the turn,
which is done by hand lever, it was
detected that it did not turn as east
ly as usual, and on looking for the
cause, Mr.. Henry Weise, one of the
railroad employees, discovered Mr..
McMurrough under the pilot, which
| extended over the turn-table track.
He was quickly removed and carried
to the rcundhouse, and laid on some
sacking. While in state of stupor
he was sufficiently conscious to say
"let me alone which they did
Marshal Thrasher being notified
visited the scene, and, as Mr.. Me-
Muirough seemed to be lying com
fortably and free from pain, decided
to leave him alone rs requested,
This was about IL: 80 o'clock. Early
Sunday morning young George
Whalen went to the roundhouse to
wire the engine and being aware
that Mr.. McMurrough was placed
there the night before, went to where
be was and found him dead. At
the coroner's inquest the jury found
verdict Of death from unknown
cause.

Mrs. James Penberthy, in this city.
Mrs. Tonkin, maiden name Miss

a position in the copper mines Of the
northwest, and located at Copper
Harbor in the Lake Superior region.
Having remained there for two
years, in 1S47 they moved to

four years purchased the old home
stead, about three miles northwest

tian woman, good mother and kind
neighbor. She always retained the
regard and esteem of her personal
friends and of the entire community
where she had passed so many years.
She was one of tie old settlers of the
country and did her share towards
its advancement. She bore equally
with her husband the burden of a
frontier farmers life, and the cares
of raising family.
Her funeral took place from st.
Paul's Catholic church last Friday
morning, and was attended by a
large number of sorrowing relatives
and friends. Father O'Keefe con-
Quoted the services and gave her on
ly a well-merited eulogy. She leaves
large family of chilnred and grand
children to mourn her death.

This city now presents a dead
appearance, all those who could
get away having departed for
points north of the state of Texas
and for points south. 1t is est1-

The city is now quarantined

situation here is much brighter

to have lifted. The porte's as
surance that the thirty-two bat
talllons recently ordered to pro-
coed from Monastir to Adrianople
will not be moved has lessened
the apprehensions of the Bulgar-
ian government. Further salts
faction is derived from the fact
that M. Natohovitch is going to
Constantinople in the capacity of
Bulgarian diplomatic agent. He
conducted the negotiations with
the porte last June and after
their failure returned~to Sofia.

the purpose at the time of Yester-

afternoon waited on Premier
Petroff and asked him if the gov
eminent intended to do anything
to help the Macedonians. M.
Petroff replied that the ministry
was acting in what it conceived
to be the best interests of Bull
garia and would continne the

The spokesman of the commit
tee told the premier that his re-
ply would not be satisfactory to
the people, and the committee
thereupon withdrew.

TANK BUSINESS
IN OLD RUSSIA
State is Selling Vile Liquors
To Rob the Hebrews
Of Profits.

St. Petersburg, Sept. 26.--As
an experiment the state turned
saloon-keeper in Odessa and took
away the vodka selling trade
from the Jews. This was done,
professedly, to stop adu1teration,
but it is more likely that the state
is eager to swallow the additional
profits that formerly went into
the pockets of the hated Hebrew.
Vodka is sold by the govern
ment in Railways and infnitsimal
stores, but no one is allowed to
drink on the premises. The
consumers, men and women,
hand in their shekels at one win
dow and receive a bottle with the
vile stuff at another. Then they
may be seen 10 run into the
street, cross themselves three
times, bow low before the saints
picture over the door Of the es.
tablishment and empty the bottle
into their throat.
