1.-THE Unwritten Law got another
boost in Maryland last week, when
Charles county jury declared by its
verdict that persons who commit cer-
tain crimes must answer to the rela-
tives of their victims, rather than to
the regular channels of legal proceed
ure. Hubert Posey last year betrayed
Priscilla Bowie. young CIR, of his
acquaintance, and, though he promised
to marry her. he finally cast her off.
The girls mother, Mrs. Mollie Bowie,
and her brother, Henry Bowie, went
after Posey, and when he refused to
right the wrong, the brother and
mother shot him to death. They
we're tried for the murder last week.
Their counsel boldly proclaimed the
"unwritten law" and declared that
the brother and mother were justified
in Staying the man who had ruined
their nearest and dearest one. The
Jury took this view, and Immediately
acquitted the accused.
As we have heretofore remarked,
we think that the unwritten law is
being overworked, but plain notice is
: being served to criminals Of a certain
class that the wages of sin is death.

HEROIC MEASURES
 ARE NECESSARY
POLICE ARE STRIVING TO STOP CRIMES AGAINST WOMEN AND CHILDREN WHICH sTARTLE ALL NEW YORK.

New York, August 3.-The wave of crimes against women and children which has swept over New York for the past fortnight has reached a stage where be- roic measures are called for in the at- tempt to put a stop to the fiendish work which has come to light through the discovery of several murders and num- Der of assaults.
 Acting Police Commissioner O'Keefe late today issued orders directing that every plain clothes officer on the force lav aside all other work and devote him. self entirely to an attempt to bring to justice the perpetrators of these crimes. He ordered that house to house visits be made by all officers on regular beats and that parents be advised to keep their children under closer supervision. The dozen or more attacks on children re- gently have struck terror to the hearts of mothers all over the city Every ef- fort has been made by the police to cap ture the men guilty of the assaults and little progress has been made.
 With his head almost severed from his body, Arthur h. Tyler, 45 years old, said to be a newspaper man, was found dead ill his apartments on West One Hun dred and Twelfth street late tonight. The body was found in the kitchen. The head was in the oven of the gas stove with the body and hands and legs stretch ed out upon the floor, covered with blanket
 A bed in the adjoining room was cov- cred with blood and a blood-stained razor was found on the floor.
 Tier was married and lived in the fiat with his wife and a boarder. The police up to late hour knew nothing of their whereabouts. The police declared 1t d plain case of murder.
 Late tonight the police seemed inclined to believe that Tyler had killed himself Mrs. Tyler and the boarder were found, but according to the police knew nothing about Tyler's death. They were not de- tained

DARK PLOT WILL
 BE REVEALED
ARMENIAN WHO MURDERED ONE OF HIS RACE IS EXPECTED TO CONFESS AND TELL OF A CON- SPIRACY.

New York, August 9,-Bit by bit the po- lice and oistrict attorneys office are gathering together threads of evidence of what they believe to be one of the most gigantic conspiracies ever discovered in New York and which was brought to light by the assassination short time ago of H. Tavshanjia the wealthy Armenian rug importer, who was shot down in Union Square by an Armenian named Hampartzoomian or khavadorian.
 Today it was declared that the assassin through his attorney made overtures to District Attorney Jerome that may lead 10 full confession on his part Mir Je- rome replied that he could promise noth- ing in the way of clemency. but urged the prisoner to tell of the plot and those who are responsible for it.
 The assassin believed that in killing the man he was doing a patriotic deed, but gradually became convinced that he was only the tool of a band of blackmailers. It is believed he will divuge the entire plan and the names of it's instigators,

WANT INCREASE
 IN THEIR WAGES
A STRIKE IS ORDERED AMONG TRAlNMEN OF THE COLORADO SOUTHERN FOR ADVANCE OF TWO CENTS PER HOUR.

Denver, Colo, August 3.-In consequence adjustment of a difference between strik- ing Denver switchmen, who demand an increase of cents an hour in their wages, and the Colorado and Southern railway, Grand Master Morrisey of the Brother hood of Railway Trainmen called out to- day all the tranmen on the road who are members of the brotherhod. These include about 800 brakemen and few conductors.
 About 260 men in this city went on strike at noon, and it is expected that freight traffic will be tied up and pas senger service disarranged.
 The strike order calls out every menl- Der of the organization from Greeley and Silver Plume, Colo, to Texline, Tex. From 800 to 1000 men not directly involved, including engineers, firemen, conductors and baggagement, will be thrown out of employment unless the company succeeds in movin gtrains, while thousands oH other workmen throughout that state will feel the effects of the strike through the closing of industries. if it is pro- longed.
 On being apprlsed of the decision of the brotherhood to extend the strike, A D. Parker vice president of the Colo rado Southern railway sent a telegram to Martin A. Knapp, chairman of the in- terstate commerce commission, and Charles P. Neill, commissioner of labor at Washington, asking that he take such steps as may be necessary to prevent the trainmen from going on strike, and there by violating their Chicago agreement We have made offer to arbitrate the switch mems contention by my choosing one, the switchmen one and the two choosing an other, and the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen have refused, said Mir Parker.
 P. H. Morrissey, grand master, said in reply to Mir. Parker's appeal for govern ment intervention, under the Erdman act that his organization fully understands its rights in the matter, and that no v'o- lation of the Chicago agreement was made in the action taken today.

After our first cruise the three of us made a second, all together, and upon our ship an oath was taken never to break the tie of friendship of the three
 When nearly to the end of that sec ond cruise, terrific storm approached, and when dangerous gale struck us, It appeared that the great secret occurred to us all at the moment and there pro- posal was made that one should rel url to earth in the spirit If death came 10 us in that storm. A coin was tossed and the lot fell to 1he. An oath was signed in the blood of my body.
 That storm lasted for nine days, and no sun, nor stars, nor ship was seen, and on the tenth day the ship went down. The bodies of the young sailor could not overcome the destruction of the storm, and l. the spirit of that chosen one felt the keen anticipation >and joy of being released from that human frame. Death came to the body of the young man, and I was released. But. listen, the happi- ness which I expected to enjoy on earth did not come. Existence here had been spiritual drudgery. But l am bound by oath and I have remained.
 But now to the finish of my story. That secret which I am bound to impaft before I enter Spiritand Is the object of my appearance and I must make haste, as only one chance Is allowed me to re- late 1t. Should anything happen to pr '- vent my telling this to you, I am ban ished forever from the Land of Spirits. So the secret is this We were all three boys of royal birth. and"

A FARMER PICKS UP ONE HUN DRIED AND FORTY STONES AND THEY PROVE TO BE THE GEN. JUNE ARTICLE.

Little Rock Ark, August 3.-Diamonds to the number of 140 have been picked up in Pike county, Arkansas, two and half miles from Murfreesboro. The first find of two diamonds was made several months ago by John Wesley Huddleston, on his farm. He sent them to Charles S. Stifft, a jeweler and diamond merchant of Little Rock. They were pronounced genuine first by him. afterwards by the diamond experts of Mermod Jaccard and King company and Roland Sons of St. Louis, and Arnstein Bros. & Co. of New York, and finally by pr. George F. Kunsse, vice President of the Tiffany company, New York, and a member of the United States geological survey, who, however, said that diamonds had been found in twenty nine different places in the United States, but they were, of a glacial formation, therefore he would not go on record until after examining the strata where the dia- monds were discovered. He afterwards declared the diamonds genuine.
