nITTSBURG, April 10.--A sermon on
martyrdom. in which Frank
a Skala, an editor and a prominent
mission worker, had declared himself
willing to lay down his life for the
Christian faith, was followed today by
his assassination in a highly sensa-
tional manner, and the shooting down
also of a fellow church leader, John
Gay.
Arm in arm the two missionaries
were leaving the little Congregational
church in Woods Run, n suburb, at the
head of more than a hundred for
eigners.
raggedly dressed and collarless
man poked his way through the crowd.
and when he was only a step behind
the leaders pressed a revolver to
Skala's head and fired twice.
The bullets took effect in the jaw and
temple, and in the ~midst of his follow
ers Skala fell dead.
Gay, who threw up his right hand as
If to ward off the weapon, was struck
first I'm the thumb, and then a second
bullet was buried in his head. He fell
unconscious across the body of his
colleague.
For some moments the assassin stood
over his prey in crazed contemplation
of the Decd fourished his revolver,
while the panic stricken crowd fled to
shelter behind posts and doorways.
The madman was Jan Radowitch, a
character known to most of the mis-
sion for his shiftless habits, slovenly
dresss sand radical opinions. A moment
before he had meekly read from Ju-
venile leaflets I'm the Sunday school,
led by Skala; previously he had sat in
a back pew of the church during the
regular sermon and at the commence
ment of the services Skala had shaken
his hand In greeting. In all this Rad
owitch had given no warning of his
murderous intent. +
CROWD COwED
There were no police in sight when
the murder was done. the church peo-
pie were too frightened to seize the
assassin and after a wild flourish OF
his weapon and stamping his feet or
the bodies he made OF and was soor
lost to view.
A large armed posse of police, de.
tectlves and church people was soor
in pursuit, but up to late hour to-
night had found no trace OF him.
Gay is eolporteur for the Bible in
stitute OF Allegheny county and is well
known for his extensive work among
the foreigners.
None of the church workers believe
there was any method in Radowitch's s
madness. He was a man who had
lived at the Salvation Army barracks
and as a charitable parasite elsewhere
but was always at variance with the
teachings of his Christian leaders.
It is believed by some of the congre-
cation that the sermon Skala preached
with the emphatic declaration that
"any moment God would want my life
I am ready to lay my life down" had
stirred the foreigner to test his Chris
tian fidelity

LAST NIGHTS FIRE
STOCK OF EVELYN MERCANTILE
COMPANY ALMOST RUINED
BY WATER.

A fire at the store of the Evelyn
Mercantile company, corner of Wolf
and streets, called out the fire de-
partment shortly after 9 o'clock last
night, an alarm being sounded from
box 81.
When the department arrived the
entire inside of the store was in a
blaze and it was feared that the store
would be Totally destroyed, but good
work on the part of the department
saved the building, though the stock
of the company was practically ruin
ed by water. The damage to the
building is very small.
The extent of damage to the stock
is not yet known, but the firm carried
quite heavy line of goods and it
appears that the full stock was more
or less damaged. Bhe stock as well
as the store was injured, but wheth-
er or not sufficiently to cover the loss
is not known.

WAGE QUESTION
WAS DISCUSSED
BY RAILROADS
THEY ISSUE STATEMENT SAVING
THEY CANNOT AFFORD TO
- MAKE INCREASE.
The Price Of Everything Railroad
Has to Buy Has Gone Up During
Past rear--Lahor Prices Also Move
Up.

New York, March 1.-Representa-
tives of the Eastern railroads issued
today pamphlet which gives the
railroads side of the wage question
The occasion for this is the recent ac
tion of the trainmen and conductors n
demanding higher pay and shorter
hours. The principal subject discuss
ed in the pamphlet are the decrease in
freight and passenger rates, the in
crease in the cost of operation, and
the wages of railroad employees as
compared with the wages in other
industries.
The position of the railroads is that
in the face cf a steady decline in rates
and a steady advance in the cost OF
operation, they are not able to grant
general wage increases in addition to
those already made. There were gen.
eral increases in the latter part of
1906 and the early part of 1901, and
there was no subsequent decrease in
the wage rate on railroads, as there
was in other industries at the time of
the 1907 panic.
Other Advances.
While freight rates have declined
year by year the price of everything
a railroad buys has gone up. Thus the
railroads have net contributed 70 the
rise in prices but have suffered seri-
ously from it. Fuel is one example
of how expenses have increased. While
the freight traffic increased 148 per
cent between 1897 and 1907, on all the
railroads in the United States and the
passenger traffic increased 1875 per
cent the cost of fuel for locomotives
increased 207 per cent. Rails, lumber,
pire, cement, glass, all structural ma
terial show similar increases!
The price of labor has moved up
ward along with all otler prices, pc
ricdical advances in wages having
been made by the railroads. The av-
erage yearly earnings of railroad en-
ployees, including laborers. according
to the latest report issued by the In
ter state commerce commission,
amount to $641. The average yearly
earnings of trainen, inclading engine
men. firemen and conductors of the
eastern railroads, according to the
same rercrt, are s9OS. Skilled work
ingmen in other industries, according
to the report of the Massachusetts
state labor bureau, earned the follow
ing amounts in -907:
Boots and shoes, $564.3O; carpent-
ing. S457.69; cotton goods. $442.32;
machine and machinery, $613.12; met
ais and metallic goods, $569.39 leath-
er. $52G32; paper, $497.22; Woolen
goods. $46395 seventy other indus
tries, $57S.S3.

COUNTY AGAIN
REFUSES TO GIVE
THE OLD JAIL SITE
CITY MUST PAY STIPULATED
SUM IF IT DESIRES The
PROPERTY.
Mayor Appeared Before the Board Yes
terday and Made Second Appeal for
the Property But Was turned Down.
Other Matters Disposed Of.

The county commissioners held their
regular monthly session at the court
house yesterday at noon and disposed
OF regular routine matters.
Mayor Hopkins, on behalf of the
city, appeared before the board and
urged the commissioners to rescind
their former action in refusing to
give to the city the old county Jail
property at the corner of Richmond
and Mansfield streets. 1t will be re-
membered that at the February meet
ing of the board Mayor Hopkins re-
quested the commissioners to donate
this property to the city. but the
c mmissioners refused to grant the
request, announcing, however, that
they would convey it to the city for
the small sum of $1,000 While the
city realizes that this is a very small
price for the property, still they think
that the commissioners should donate
the site to the city in return for
Magnolia park, which was given to
the county by the city for a court
house site.
Tae commissioners, however, take
different view of the situation, and
they refused to reconsider the matter,
but decided to let the city purchase
the property at tAe stipulated sum,
$3.50. Just what council will decide
to do is not known, but the matter
will likely receive attention at the
next meeting of the city solcns.
Other Matters Handled.
A number of routine matters were
disposed of at the meeting yesterday.
The News was awarded the printing
of the county statements and notices
for the year.
Kennon Mott was awarded the con-
tract for the care and keep of the
county clock at $3.50 for the year.
All constables who have bills
against the county from time to time
were requested to hereafter submit
the bills monthly.
The clerk was requested to adver-
tise for bids for supplies for the con-
victs for the present year. Bills for the
month were ordered paid and few
other regular routine matters were
of.

AND LOCAL THEATRE MANAGER
Is ASKED TO PAY FIVE HUN
!; DREp DOLLARS DAMAGE.
Pretty Dresses of the Princess in
~Graustark" Get Soaking When
Rain Water Fell Behind the Scenes
i, Monday.

Claiming that the costumes of Miss
Isabel McGregor, leading lady of the
Graustark" company, were damaged
by water while the company was per
forming at the Grand Monday, a claim
for $500 has been made against the
management of the local play house.
The claim has, of course, been refused
and the probabilities are that an in
teresting law suit will be the final re-
suit.
1t is claimed that the handsome
costumes of the princess" were dam
aged by water, and while the charge
is not denied by the opera house man
agement, still the question of whether
or not the playhouse is responsible for
the spelling of these pretty dresses
is one that the courts may be called
upon to decide.
1t seems that there is a leak in the
roof of the Grand. Water, which had
leaked through the building, had COL
lected somewhere in one of the cur
tains on the stage. When this cur
tain or piece of scenery was removed
there was a regular cloudturst behind
the stage and the WARDROBE Of Miss
McGregor was right in the midst of
the shower. AS a result some of her
prettiest and costliest garments
were soaked, and it is claimed, ruin
ed by the water.
The damage, it is further claimed,
will amount to $500, and the theatrical
company, which pays for the costumes
rather than the wearer of them. thinks
the opera house management shclld
pay the damage.
While the flood behind the stage
occurred before the night performance,
Still those in the audience were not
aware of the fact, as the costumes
worn by the leading lady were all very
handsome, and little was it realized
her best and costliest dresses had
been ruined. 1t is understood that
she wore costumes borrowed from
some of the other members of the
cast during the night performance
during a portion of the play, while
those saved from the flood were used
at other times. One dress which was
not damaged was the one with a train
as long as a Southern freight coming
into Brunswick, which was worn by
her in the last act.
While no legal steps have yet been
taken by the management of the
company it was stated yesterday that
suit would probably be filed.
Manager Finney, however, is not
losing any sleep over the probable law
suit as he is only the manager of the
Grand and should a jury ever award
the company damages he thinks the
owners of the building would be the
parties to suffer.
There is some discussion as to
whether or not the costumes of the
leading lady were really worth $500
They were purchased by the manager
of the company, however and he is the
individual who claims that they cost
that sum Further developments will
be awaited with interest.
