This pile Is an exceptionally large

week when the shovel was started for
the first time. The Bristol Is property
that is capable OF big outputs and with
the daily output going directly to

adds materially to the shipments from

Dark Skinned Man of
Mystery Puts Up
Hard Fight Against
Two BluecoatS
THINK
r HE is INSANE
Stranger Wearing Two Pairs of Trous-
ers Utters Mohammedan War Cry
When Resisting Arrest at Third
and Walnut

His hands extended toward the
heavens and uttering the Mohammedan
war cry, "Allah Akbar,' man of
swarthy complexion who appears to be
Turk, created sensation at Third
and Walnut streets at s O'Clock this
morning. His actions so frightened q
woman close to whom he was walking
that she appealed for protection to Pa
trolman G.. A. Thompson, on fixed post
at the corner.
The mysterious man resisted the po-
hceman and put up stiff fight. A
crowd assembled and Patrolman Fehl-
eisen ran to Thompson Is assistance. To-
gether the bluecoats subdued the man
and called the police patrol. All during
the fight the Turk shouted his strange
Mohammedan war cry in a loud voice.
More than hundred persons were at
tracted by the rawlings of the man.
When in the patrol wagon the pris-
oner attempted to divest himself of his
clothing, succeeding in tearing off one
pair of trousers before the bluecoats
halted him. He was wearing two pairs
for warmth.
Attempts at police headquarters to
find out something about the captive
proved futile. He, apparently, could
not understand what the desk man was
saying. All the policemen could catch
of his ramblings in foreign tongue
was the constant repetition of the
words "Allah Akbar.' This trans
lated means "god is great"
1t was at first believed the man had
escaped from the Pennsylvania State
Hospital for the Insane, north of the
city, but no patients answering his de-
scription is missing there. Efforts to
learn his name and his place of resi-
dence were futile, as no interpreter
could understand him. He was sent to
the Dauphin county jail on "John
Doe" commitment to "await develop
ments.'
The police believe that some of the
man 's friends will become anxious
about him and make inquiries in his
behalf. The police are under the i'm
preston that the man is insane.

Explains Situation in the East

Berlin, Via London, Feb. 20, 1880
A. M.-Explaining the situation in the
east, Major Moraht, military expert of
the "Tageblatt, points out that re-
ports from general headquarters show
ing in three directions. The northern.
most has resulted in the capture of
Taurogen but not without fighting along
the line from Tilsit to Taurogen. The
Russians, however, soon were forced to
retreat again, Major Moraht says, and
been sent them from Kovno. He con
tinues:
'There also has been fighting north
west of Grodno, probably against the
fortress Garrison sent ahead against the
Germans. The situation is just as fa-
river, near Lomza, where the Germans
are still contending with apparently
fresh Russian troops from the fortress
at Lomza.
"This whole movement is the result
of the Mazurian lake victory. 1t was
well prepared and splendidly carried
out to cover the right flank of the for
titled line north of Tarsam."
Major Moraht declares the western
situation shows daily the hopelessness
of the allies offensive and adds:
"Our procedure there stands in a
certain degree under the pressure of
general conditions. We must, like Gen.
eral Lee, abandon for the time our bold
warfare and restrain ourselves to a
steady holding on"

MIXING PEANUTS AND POLITICS"

To the several Republican papers of Nevada that car see nothing
worth while in President Wilson's recent message to congress a careful
perusa1 of the following, from the Goldfie1d Tribune, a independent
paper, with Republican leanings, is suggested:
mo part of the presidents recent message was entitled to more
credit for the courage and patriotism it required to write it than his
reference to the reasonable activities of those who, under the broad
charity of our naturalization laws have violated the oath of allegiance
and loyalty by which they pledged their lives, if necessary, to support
the constitution and the laws of this republic; and strange to say that
part of his message, more than any other, has brought to him the criticism
of those who would turn his language to political account.
"Any attempt to make it appear that this language a aimed at all
cfuzens-or even those genera1y-of German or Austrian birth or de-
scent, will be stamped by the American people a a pusIlanimous effort
to befog the public mind, for the president distinctly stated that IN
his opinion these creatures OF passion were few, and that their acts
had neither approval o sympathy from the vstm majority OF those IN
America born under a flag of the Central Empires or descended from
those who were.
ton Of American industries are worthy Of all the denunclation the presl-
dent gave them, but they arr a minor fraction of the foreign-born IN
this country. While they re a menace, the Tribune believed and still
believes that if the supreme test should come these 'unnaffniated and
'unamalgamated elements who have resisted the melting pot of cur
Western civilization would u down or run out by the assistance
OF others who also trace their birth or their ancestry to the very coun-
tries from which these Creatures of passion came"
