That Siegmund started In to make
trouble as soon as he4set foot on the
steamer Lost Hope. Of the River Styx and
Hades ferry and Navigation company, is
evidenced by statements of officers of
the vessel and fellow passengers.
1t Is said that as soon as he was
hoard and felt the hot winds blowing over
the Styx he said to group Of shades
who were suffering with the heat: Amt
It warm ?" They did not answer except
by Disguised grunts. and the Brute moved
on to another group.
"Aint It warm?" he remarked again,
and one shade smote him on the nose.
Others prevented a fight, however and
the shade continued his promenade of the
deck
He accosted other groups until finally

orderly manner, watching the fight and
enjoying it, 1t encouraged the fighters,
and one shade started to make bets on
the result and for a time it looked as IL
the trouble would be nothing more than
an ordinary and highly enjoyable street
fight
One of the original assassins, however,
was dragged out of the heap with an
ear torn off, his teeth knocked down his
throat both eyes blackened and Ave ribs
stove in, the Highiandtown Wonder hay
ing died hard. The injured shade yelled
in a loud voice before he died
HE asked me ii 1t was warm enough
for me-"
Those words were like a red flag waved
before a bull. and with a deep growl the
angry crowd rushed in. Begging for
chance at him, strong and husky shades
thrust weaker shades aside and plunged
IN for just one soak at the onending
shade underneath the pile. Other shades
who also wanted chance at slegmuno
engaged in blows with their fellows. and
that is what started the hottest part of
the riot.
The police say that the eight prisoners
encouraged the rioting in various ways.
Nero, they say, played such martial
music on a combination organ, fiddle and
banjo he happened to be carrying that
the efforts of the police to quell the dis
turpance were seriously hampered.
Brian Boru, they say, called out Fol
low me-" and went for crowd OF zoo
harmless Germans and started to clean
the streets with them When asked
about this in his cell Mr.. Boru, who is
the proprietor of prominent Schuetzem
bai,a ar Sulphur Lake Park and well
known Mason, said that "he couldn't
help it."
The others contributed in various ways
TO the turmoil, and 1t is claimed by the
police that the death and disappearance
of Siegmund was the work OF the eignt
oho nroved TO be shrewd and clever
leaders of force that would have other
wise been unrestrained and not half al
effective.

COMET sPoILs WEATHER.
Freak of June Attributed to Effects of
Celestial Visitor.
From he New York World.

From the New York World
All the freaks of nature which people
have been remarking lately are due, ac-
eording to Edwin T. Nauty, to the new
comet which he and Dr. Brook of Hobart
college, announced to the world three
weeks ago. This behavior threatened to
become worse until such time as the comet
shall pass the earth and its light reaches
us by recession instead of by detection,
as now. That means that June will con-
tinue to be as little like its own self as
were the earlier months of the year. BY
July the transit ought to be made and let
the weather swing back to the normal.
Meanwhile, says Mr.. Naulty, watch out
for more marine disasters. The two that
furnished startling news last week ara
only the beginning of a series Ship conf
passes have gone wrong from this evil in
fluence, Mr.. Naulty says, and mariners
find the guides that have always been

their main reliance running to all sorts Of
error. Since Wednesday last. while the
morning skies have warned people to car
ry umbrellas. and fog and mist have ofte1
justified the warning, the local barome-
ters have held steadily fair.
The fault has not been with the barom-
eters, but with the comet, which has so
suffused the atmosphere to make peo-
pie think it cloudy when the overhead ap-
pearance was due merely to shafts of
comet light.
The doubt that has beset the masses of
late and kept winter clothing and cam
phor apart beyond their period of habitual
conjunction has also been due to the same
baleful influence. In swishing around the
arctic regions it has driven polar al
southwark causing periods of abnormal
cold.

FOR LITTLE FOLK.
Story Of Six Little Chickens and How
They Came to Mother Hiddy.

s. L. Elliott in August st. Nicholas.
/ Mother Biddy sat on her nest. with
what do you think in the nest? Biz
smooth white eggs! After she had sat
there quite long time till she was very
tired, what do you suppose happened TO
one of those eggs? There was a noise
that wen. "snick, snick," and out Of the
shell stepped something like little fuzzy
ball, but with two bright eyes. and two
hits Of feet to walk on. What do you
think it was? A little chicken? Yes. and
Mother Biddy was so glad to see It. and
she called It Fluffy And Fiuny SAID:
..paer neeni I have some brothers and
sisters in the shells; II you call them 1
think they will come" So Mother Biddy
said: "Cluck, cluck!" and something
said: peep, peep!' and out came an
other chicken, as black AZ 1t could be-.
so Mother Biddy called 1t 'Topsy. Are
there any mors?" said Mother b'ddy.

advice Of their counsel. They have re-
tanned Cassius Brutus as their attorney,
although Mr.. Caesar, who it will be re-
called, was done for by Mr.. Brutus
a few centuries ago, when the latter was
the leader of the reform party in Rome,
has yet engaged no legal adviser.
Caesar however, was willing to talk,
although being a man of but few words.
ALL he said was:
He deserved 1t. Any wop that would
ask people a question like that casts
reflection upon their intelligence, and any
thing that is handed him cannot be too
strong or severe"
The gold tooth and the scrap of eyebrow
are now at the morgue awaiting identifi-
cation by relatives. 1t is thought, how
ever, that no shade will be rash enough
TO claim the remains, as feeling runs
high, not only against Siegmund but
against any who express sympathy for
him.
If the remnants are not claimed within
three days the eyebrow VIII be given 10

MOBBED AT THE FURNACE
A Number of Rlngleaders In the Riot
Are Captured and the Case VIII
Be Investigated by Mayor
Henry F. Satan.

From the Hades Cor Baltimore Sun.
One of the most violent riots that
has ever occurred in the history of this
place broke out this afternoon in the
crowded furnace district, and. In spite Of
the efforts of the police reserves, 1t was
two hours before it was quelled
The administration of the third degree
to eight of the ringlaaders shows that
the cause of the outbreak was the ques-
ton. rs It hot enough for youT'
1t is said that the question was put
to group of toiling laborers at the big
Dante smelter by a newly arrived shade
with an open countenance and four gold
teeth The thermometer at the time reg
istered 1900 degrees Fahrenheit, and the
shades employed at the furnace felt it
keenly, being worked overtime on a rush
order.
As soon as the fool shade asked his ir-
ritating question a fight, which soon
sweled to the proportion of a riot, en-
sued. The furnace employees were the
first to become involved, but pedestrians
from neighboring thoroughfares rushed
up, and, learning the provocation, imme
dately joined in the rough house. At
the height of the riot it is estimated
that at least 1900 shades were partici-
pating.

The gendarmes on duty In the central
district soon saw that the disturbance
was beyond their control and a hurry
call for the reserves was sent in. Chief
of Police William r. Beelzebub responded
by sending every available man from
headquarters and calling in the police
from the outlying districts. These were
rushed to the scene and were later re-
inforced by the suburban mounted police.
The latter, mounted on their fire splitting
dragons. were effective in forcing back
the surging, tumultuous crowds.
After order had been restored and the
ambulances had completed their work
search was made for the shade who had
started the fight by asking his foolish
question. The search continued until
late hour but the only remnants of him
so far found are one of his gold teeth and
section of eyebrow. greasy spot on
the cobblers in front of the smelter leads
the police to believe that the shade never
got any farther than that spot.
The eight ringleaders were arrested and
are now in the Internal calaboose, having
been remanded without bail by Mags
trate Daniel ]. Mephistopheles. The pri-
soners gave their names and addresses as
