Attacks standard.

Cleveland, o., Aug. 6.-The National
Petroleum Association, the association
of independent oil men, have directed
four new attacks against the Standard
Oil Company and the railroads. This
is what they will try to accomplish
Reduction of 20 per cent. in freight
rates on petroleum by all railroads east
of the Mississippi and north Of the Ohio
river.
Reduction of forty per cent. in freight
rates by railroads in the Chicago Omaha
St. Paul territory.
A reduction of more than fifty per
cent. in freight rates under the jurisdic-
ton of the Nebraska railroad commits
sion. Enactment by the Georgia legis-
lature of al anti-discriminstiOn law sim
liar to that OF Kansas and Iowa.
The first two pleas will be heard, il
the application OF the independents for a
hearing is granted by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The others will
be fought out in the States affected.

Effect ON the Stock Market.

New York, Aug. 6.-Decliues sill
through the list were registered on the
sock exchange today and were traced
directly to the continued reports of re-
newed activity of government authori-
ties against the great corporations, fol-
lowing the 500, 24O, 900 assessed against
the Standard Oil Company.
The belief seemed 10 be general on the
floor that the corporate interests were on
the verge of a period of legal and legisla-
tive complications far more serious than
any experienced in the past.
Union Pacific, usually considered a
good criterion by which to judge the
market, went down steadily until it had
lost "a points, bringing it TO 1877, the
low water mark of the movement.
Great Northern preferred went down
three points and practically all railroad
stocks and industrials showed weakness.
At first heavy buying to cover shorts
kept prices fairly well balanced, but this
activity decreased. Houses with west
ern connections, carrying speculative
business, however, continued to buy.

Killed Husband with PItchfork.

Stroudsburg, Pa, August c. The
killing of John Newman, aged IS years,
by his wife, aged "A years, has created
decided sensation in Pike county. John
Newman and his eyed spouse engaged
10 3 quarrel at their home in Blooming
Grove township. Newman Ills alleged as
a result Of the alteration, became so
much enraged that he seized butcher
knife and attacked his wife. To defend
herself she grabbed hammer and struck
her husband hard blow on the head,
which stunned and feled him to the
floor. Then, in fit of frenzy or fear of
her husbands wrath, should he revive
and renew the attack, the woman, il is
alleged, procured pitchfOrk and stabbed
the PROSTATE man in the stomach until
life was extinct. The body WAS carried
out to field and hidden behind a stone
row, where it was discovered by mere
accident. Mrs. Newman and her two
sons and grandson are in custody.

THE LABOR SITUATION.

The labor situation 10 Was hington d d
not change yesterday. Although h'
| leaders of all the national and interna-
ional labor unions have ordered that the
men shall go on strike, aud that the
fight against the "Open shop" shall be
to the death, those men who we're still
at work yesterday were PERMITTED to re-
main at work, and the labor leaders
we're again 10 conference all day. 1t is
believed that they are arranging a plan
of campaign and are careful to perfect
every detail before the fight is actually
begun, for they realize that the employers
are united and SO determined as are the
unions.
The employers yesterday still main
tanned their attitude Of indifference to-
ward the further action of the labor lead
ers. They declare that tbey are receiving
from Baltimore and from many of the
smaller towns 10 Maryland large num-
bers Of skilled wOrkmen, who are at
iacted to Washington by the extremely
liberal wages that are the rule in that
citv.
1t is stated that many of the employ
ers are aysiling themselves of coiored
labor. There are in Washington many
colored bricklayers and other mechanics,
who learned their trade ia sou ihern
cities, but have gradually worked their
way north, attracted by the high wages
paid there.
The employers insist tina. they will
not be seriously crippled, as workmen
are coming to Washington from all over
the country, and that they are deter
mined to fight for the "Open shop"
once aud for all. The labor leaders are
equally determined to fight for the osed
shop.

Arkansaa to ADneaI.

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 6.-Arksn-
sas will appeal at once from United
States Circuit Judge Vandeventei's de-
cision at St. Paul yesterday, temporarily
restraining the State from annull'ng the
Chicsgo, Rock Island and Pacific rail-
roads charter within lis borders for vio-
lation of THE law prohibiting the transfers
of suits against it by Arkansas citizens
from the State to the federal courts.
The case is similar to that of the issue
10 Alabama.
Arkansas, however, was unfortunate
in meeting with delay through the iede-
raj courts action before a move could be
made by the attorney general to inyali-
date the railroads charter. The State
officials will do their utmost to carry The
case to the higher courts and secure a
reversal of Judge Vandsrventer's de-
csiOn on the temporary order without
awaiting the final hearing.

Assailant Caught.

New York, Aug. Ga stranger met
his match today in Miss Adelaide Wild
erer, a brave trained nurse. She was
returning from attending a patient when
she pissed Tooth street and Manhattan
avenue. An Italian seized her and, be-
fore she realized what had happened,
dragged her into hallway. Then she
gave him a struggle until he lost his
grip upon her throat and she screamed
so loudly that he fed. Though half
blinded by his blows and severely hurt
by the struggle, she gave pursuit. At
Central Park the police arrested Pietro
Dauria, a pedd'er, whom MisI Wilderer,
arriving a moment later, identified as
her asssilant.

win Enforce the Law.

Montgomery, Aug. 6.-At any cost,
according to their determination, today,
the State officials will enforce the new
State law under which the Southern
Railways right to do business in the
State was revoked. 1t is sal that Gov
eruor Conner may cali a special session
OF the legislature. Much apprehension
is felt in business circles of the State as
it is feared that local trains may be dis
continued at any time. There is much
talk OF the governor calling out the
State troops for the purpose of enforcing
the new law.
Montgomery, Ala, Aug. Ga settle
ment Of the trouble between the State
and the Southern Railway appears to be
10 sight. Vice President Russell, of the
Mobile and Ohio railroad, representing
President Finley, Of the Southern, is in
conference today with Gov. Conner. 1t is
believed the outcome will be an agree
ment putting an end to the dispute
brought 10 crisis by the action of the
State authorities in revoking the South
ern's charter.
II is understood here Col. Russell
was authorized to make oyertures in
behalf of President Finley whereby the
company hopes to re.establish itself on a
legal basis in Alabams without fight
in the courts. Just what terms Col.
Russell WAS willing to oller is not known.
If todsy's negotiations fail, however,
further serious trouble is expected.
The State authorities are determined
to stand by their action in reyoking the
license while the railroad people will not
yield without hard struggle.
It was rumOre1 that at the conference
between Governor Conner and Col.
Russell the basis for test suit to de-
termine the States powers will be agreed
upon. Both sides will then unite in
pushing the case to decision.

HIGHER TAXES IN GEORGIA.

While the people OF Atlanta, Ga.
are wrought up over the passage Of the
anti-saloon measure, which will soon be-
come a law, Georgisns all over the
State are none the less interested and
are beginning to figure out how they
will stand after January LIST next. One
thing is assured, i! has been stated, and
that is CHER state taxes during the next
two years, solely on account of the recent
prohibition legislation.
Like Atlanta, the State Of Georgia
gets revenue in the neighborhood OF
$500, 600 from the liquor industry. In
fact so great benefit has it been to
some of the county seats that no taxes
have been assessed for the past 10 years.
This immunity from taxation was
brought about by the establishment OF
what are known as state dispensaries,
and from the income from such sources
many of the smaller cities OF Georgia
have been sble TO make improvements,
despite the fact that they had no tax
rate to reckon with.
The most notable record is that OF
the prosperous city of Dawson, in Tel
rell county. Here improvements have
been Instituted which embrace the con-
struction of an up-to-date system Of
waterworks and an electric-light plant,
the erection OF city hall and additional
schoOlhouses, all out OF the earnings OF
the state dispenssries.
10 other cities, such as Rome aud Ath-
ems, both prosperous towns, the same
conditions prevail. The earnings of the
dispensaries, which in many cases reach
the sum of $50, 900 annually, have been
sufficient to meet the expenses OF these
towns, and therefore the citizens OF Ath-
ems, Rome and Dawson were assessed
nothing on their property, no matter
how large their holdings we're.
After the first of the year these sources
of revenue will be a thing of the past.
And according to the anti-prOhioitionists,
the next thing in order is the taxation OF
property held by persons who have
known no tax rate for the past ten years
Although the majority of the people
do not know il, s,eps are now being
taken TO increase the general sac tax
rate. A dragnet will be put out by the
tax committee of the legislature to catch
every available piece Of property.
Under the constitution Of the State OF
Georgis, the State tax rate cannot go
higher than FIVE mills. At the present
time it is four mills and fraction. 1t is
boldly claimed, however, that with the
tax rate at the highest figure allowed,
this will even be insufficient to meet the
shortage. Those who chin to know hint
that, if the prohibition bill continues 10
force, an effort will be made to have an
amendment to the constitution establish
ing much higher tax ate for Georgia.

Suicide In Yacht Club.

New York, Aug. 6.-Heavy lo'ses In
Wall street and dependency from brood
ing over his suspension year ago from
the Stock Exchange where he had been
member for thirty years, are assigned
today as the reasons for the suicide OF
William s. Alley, who shot himself in a
room at the Larchmont Yacht Club last
night. Alley died on his way to hos
pitsl.
The piazzas of the club we're crowded
with members and their wives and
daughters at dinner when Alley killed
himself. The sound of the revolver
created a near-panic among the visitors.
Men who rushed to his room found the
door locked.
It was forced open and Alley, partly
undressed, was lying on the bed with a
wound in his right temple. A revolver
with one chamber empty was on the
floor.
Since his suspension from the ex-
change Alley had operated largely on
the curb market where he had lost hesv-
liz of late.

Anna MarkowiIz, twenty-tour years o.
age, a pretty Jewish girl, lies dead al

Dayton, o., Aug. 6 Abraham Co.
hen, the victim of Sunday nights as.
sault in which Anna Markowitz wai
criminally assaulted and strangled ia
death, died in the hospital today from
his injuries. Before his death an attempt
was made by the authorities to have him

brother Of the murdered girl as the man
who did the shooting, but Cohen failed
to make the Identification.
Although the result of the autopsy
on the dead girl has been completed the
coroner will not make his report for sever
al days. 1t was stated, however, that
the girl had been brutslly assaulted be-
fore her death by strangulation. The
brothers and sister OF the murdered
girl, who are detained Ia the county
Jail pending the result of the corOners ir-
vestigation we're still in iail today, but
it is not believed that they can be con-
nected with the murderous assault.

addition the coal men are again causing
trouble. A fresh dispute hiss arisen
between the employees and two impor-
tant firms which may result 10 strike
