THE HATOC 18 BEYOND COMPUTATION
Paris, May 1C The Dir-Kmrieme Slide
to-day publishes a long history of the mar
ried life of Mr. Edward Parker Deacon, who
is now awaiting trial before the Assize court
of the Alpes Maratimes on the charge of
manslaughter, growing out of the killing of
M. Abeille, who Mr. Deacon discovered in
his wife's apartments at the HotelSplendide
at Cannes, on February 19. The new spapcr
asserts that the story it publishes was told
by Mr. Deacon to his solicitor. According
to this story, Mr. Deacon says that a few
days previous to this tragedy and again on
the evening the shooting occurred before he
left the hotel to attena the ball given by
the Ccrcle Nautique, he urged his wife to
consent to a divorce.
He had a very strong suspicion that his
wife's relations with Abeille were not what
they should be, and he thought if he could
procure his wife's consent not to contest an
action for divorce much scandal could be
averted. Mrs. Deacon, however, objected
to this course, and notwithstanding all the
arguments her husband advanced she re
fused to consent to divorce proceedings.
M. Abrlllo Entirely at Fnnlt.
Mx. Deacon, the story adds, declared that
his wife's conduct was exemplary until
Abeille was introduced to her. The French
roan became assiduous in his attentions to
Mrs. Deacon and Mr. Deacon frequently
protested against his unpleasant actions.
Abeille then left the country and Mr.
Deacon who, while thinking his wife had
acted unceremoniously, had no doubt as to
her honor, believed tfiat the whole trouble
was settled.
A short time after Abeille had gone away
.nir. ueacon Degan to receive letters lrom an
anonymous source stating that his wife was
deceiving him. One day he .received six
such letters. Subsequently he found letters
that Abeille had written to his wife, but his
suspicions as to her fidelity were not thor
oughly aroused until he lound Abeille on
one occasion hidden behind a curtain in his
wife's room at their Paris residence. After
this occurrence scenes between himself and
his wife were frequent, and Mrs. Deacon up
braided him in very strong language, ac
cusing him ot tyrannous and infamous con
duct. "While they were at Moritz she be
came so violent that he threatened to send
for the police and have- her taken into cus
tody. She retorted: "Send for them; I am
tired of this life, and I don't want you to
communicate with me except through my
attorney."
Always Anxlong to Prevent Trouble.
He afterward ' apologized to his wife and
reconciliation occurred. Some little time
after he went to the United States and upon
his return his wife declined to see him until
Christmas, Though they then lived to
gether they never afterward resumed mari
tal relations. The details of the shooting
as told by Mr. Deacon are essentially the
same as those already reported in these
dispatches. The date of the trial of Mr.
Deacon has been definitely fixed for the
20th inst. This date was fixed upon by the
President of the Court of Assizes, the Pro
curer of the Kepublic, and M. Edcard
Demange, Mr. Deacon's counsel. Mr.'Ed
gard Demange is a member of the Paris bar
and is a man of considerable talent He is
an eloquent speaker and has great dialec
tical skill. He has already won fame in
connection with various causes celebresua.
Mrs. Deacon will not be present at the
trial, but her position will be read to the
jury.
The State prosecution will be in the
hands of M. du Xoiron, the Procurer of the
Republic. The members of the jury, who
have been appointed by drawing lots, are
chiefly residents of the country round about
Uice.
The hall In which the trial will take
place is of small dimensions, and in view of
limited accommodation it affords, Parisian
and foreign reporters are already forward
ing their requests for seats, which are all at
the disposal of the President of the court.
EIGHTEEN KEH DBOWNED.
Tho Bark Earl ot Aberdeen Wrecked on
the Pembroke Coast.
London, May ia The bark Earl of
Aberdeen, was wrecked on the rocks on the
Pembroke coast this morning. Eighteen
men were drowned. Two of the lifeboats
were ruined and only one was left for use.
The Captain says:
"When I launched tho lifeboat I called
to the crew to join me. The sea was break
ing over the deck so heavily, however, that
they feared to leave the rigging. The only
exception was a black sailor named Sebas
tian, who jumped from the rigging and
joined me. "We drifted ten miles waist
high in water, our boat having shipped a
number of heavy seas. Then the steamer
Scotairlie sighted us and came to our res
cue. The remaining 18 men were
drowned."
GENEBAX GEESSEE'S CBUELTY.
The Cause of Ills Death VTns Bis Acts In
nis Official Capacity.
London, May 17. The Telegraph's Vienna
correspondent says: There is no doubt that
General Greeser, the Prefect of St. Peters
burg, was the victim of a plot of which
Gatchowsky was innocent, and that the
plotters tampered with the "Vitaline" with
which General Gresser was treated.
Two plans hive been formed to remove
Gresser within the past six months. His
treatment of criminals and suspects was
barbarous. He addressed authors and
iournalists like common laborers, and often
banished them without a trial He intro
duced the system of torture of non-political
prisoners in all prisons. All attempts to
persuade the Emperor to remove him tailed.
GERMANY AGilNST BIMETALLISM.
A liellof
That tho Silver Conference Will
Not Be Satisfactory.
London, May 17. The Netn' Berlin cor
respondent says: In financial circles here a
belief prevails that the international silver
conference will have no satisfactory results.
Germany will only accept the invitation be
cause she does not desire to hold aloof from
the other powers.
The Government and the Eeichstag have
always been opposed to bimetallism. They
even rejeoted a motion a few years ago de
claring Germany's willingness to negotiate
it England previously adopted bimetallism
Steamer and PiMgrngrers Reported Lost.
St. PETEBSBUHO.May 1G. It is reported
from Astrakau that the steamer Alexander
Wolkow has foundered in the Caspian Sea
and that 250 passengers were drowned.
A TERRIFIC HURRICANE
Passes Ovor New Zealand, Wrecking Ves
sels on Iho Coast and Killing Slany
People Trees Torn Up and Blown Oat
to Soi Damage TJnestlmated.
"Wellington, N. Z., May 1& A ter
rific hurricane has passed over Central New
Zealand, and the loss of Hie and damage
done is enormous. Long before the hurri
cane broke the barometer gave warning of
its coming, but very little could be done to
protect property from its fury. The sky,
which had been blue and cloudless.gradually
took on a muddy yellowish hue. The air
was perfectly calm. The sea was unmarked
with a single breaking wave, but a heavy
ground swell sent huge rollers chasing one
another with glassed, unbroken surfaces.
The stillness immediately preceding tho
storm was oppressive. Suddenly, far out
at sea could be seen a dark cloud resting
upon the waters and rapidly approaching
the land. At its top masses of vapor
tumbled and rolled like the boiling of a
gigantic caldron, while the bottom was con
cealed by a line of dark green water lifted
from the ocean, piling and rolling, driven
by the tremendous force that was hastening
to Its wors: oi aesiruciion.
The air became dark and a sudden coolness
permeated the atmosphere. Nearer and
nearer approached the swiftly coursing
messenger of destruction; and then with a
thriek and a howl the gale burst in all ita
fury. With a sullen roar the waters which
had led the gale burst with thnndering
crash upon the shores. Gigantic
trees swayed almost to the ground beneath
the force "of the wind, and then when they
could stand the strain no longer, snapped
like dried twigs in the hands of a strong
man. In some cases the whole tops of trees
wercwhipped off.caught up and carried off to
the windward, floating on the gale as easily
and lightly as a bit of down m a summer
breeze. Naught could be heard above the
dm of the elements. The rain fell in sheets,
threshine remaining leaves from the trees,
and causing the small streams and brooks
to become rushing torrenta All along the
coast the sea waters were discolored by the
quantities ot carta carried into them lrom
the shores.
Thousands of wild birds, helpless and
frightened, were blown out to sea there to
perish. Hour after hour passed and there
was no abatement in the hurricane's terrible
energy. It is late autumn in the antipodes,
and in many places the crops were awaiting
the hands of the harvesters. Hundreds of
acres of wheat, corn, oats and barley were
ruined, the standing crops being beaten
down and badly twisted and matted.
At sea the scene defied description. The
vessels in the offing, which before the gale
could be seen lying under storm sails, were
soon lost to view in the swirling cloud rack.
After the storm bad passed it was found
that many coasting vessels had been piled
upon the shores, and it is believed that the
loss of life, when all the details have been
received, will prove to have been very
heavy.
Iteports from all the parts of the country
visited by the hurricane show that build
ings have been either blown down or un
roofed in every direction. The money
damage caused by the storm cannot be estimated.

THREE NEGROES LYNCHED.
They Were Charged With navlng Beaten
Mrs. Bryant to Secnro Her Honey A
Plot Led by tho Cook Quick Work of
tho Angry Mob.
Birmingham, Ala., May 16. At Chil
dersburgh this morning" three negroes,
Berry w Iiowden, Jim Itowdea and "Will
Cantor, were hanged and shot on the bridge
of the Georgia Central Railroad over the
Coosa River. The bodies were cut down
and fell into the river, two of them only
being recovered. The lynching was a
sequel to a tragedy enacted on Saturday
nicht at thi home of Die Bryant, four
miles out of town.
Some unknown person entered his resi
dence while he was absent and made his way
to Mrs. Bryant's bedroom. She was sleep
ing with two little children and the man at
tacked her with a light wing knot, striking
her two blows on the head. She undertook
to scream and was fearfully choked. Finally
the man became frightened and left It
was supposed that his motive was to get
some money which Bryant had received
from sales of cotton and had put in his trunk.
"When Bryant left home Saturday night
his wife asked the cook to remain with her,
but she refused. This led to the cook being
suspected, and a report comes that she
finally confessed that it was a plot between
herself and her two brothers, the Rowden
negroes and "Will Cantor, to get Bryant's
money, and she and Cantor were to go away
and marry on their share. The three
negroes were arrested yesterday while hid
ing in a swamp, and put in the Childers
burgh jaiL
A mob of SO men went there in the night,
but the marshal was informed of their pur
pose and drove them away with threats.
They retired across a hill, and the marshal
went home to bed. This morning he found
his prisoners gone. The discovery of the
two bodies in the river followed soon after.
WILL HAVE A COMBINE.
Pittsburg, Cincinnati and Indianapolis to
Bo in a New Theatrical Circuit.
Managers Henck & Fennessy, of the Peo
ple's Theater, Cincinnati, have entered into
a combine with Harry "Williams, of this
city, to have a circuit of variety nouses in
connection with the Pittsburg and Cincin
nati houses. It was the intention to secure
establishments in St. Louis, .Louisville and
Indianapolis, but, not succeeding entirely
to their satisfaction, Mr. Henck finally de
termined to purchase ground and erect a
new theater in Indianapolis. For
the present their operations will be
confined to Pittsburg, Cincinnati and
Indianapolis. The circuit will be
known as the Empire. Only first-class
comedy, vaudeville and spectacular attrac
tions will be run. Louis Bobie will look
after the People's Theater and James E.
Fennessy will be General Manager of the
circuit, also of the new theater whioh will
also be known as the Empire. Manager
Williams will look after their interests at
this end of the line.
Manager "Williams said yesterday that
the object of the combine was to secure
only first-class attractions and keep them in
the circuit. St. Louis and Louisville will
probably be added later when the scheme
has been thorouehlv tested.
ELLIOT BOEOUGH IMPROVEMENTS.
A Proposition for the Issno or Bonds to
Come Before tho Council.
The Burgess of Elliot is at present in
rented quarters, and it is suggested that a
municipal building be erected this summer
for the accommodation of the Council and
Burgess, and also quarters for prisoners.
The borough is badly in need of a lockup,
as no provisiou of any kind has so far been
made for the keeping of law-breakers.
Bonds will also be issued for the improve
ment and opening of streets. At the next
meeting of the Council something will prob
ably be done looking to the issue of bonds,
and the work on the proposed improve
ments, should the proposition be 'carried,
will begin early in the summer.
New Combination Car for Second Avenue
The first of a number of combination sum
mer care for the Second avenue line was re
ceived yesterday, and immediately put on
trial. Five more will be received from the
Stevenson Car Company of New York by1
the middle of June.

The scaffold for Fitzpatrick's execution
will be the one constructed for Alexander
Killen, whose reprieve came in time to
spare his life.
"Washington, May 16. There is a proj
ect on foot whioh contemplates the intro
duction of aluminum for the equipments
and aocouterments of the army. Lieutenant
"W. a Brown, of the First Cavalry, is the
officer to make the suggestion, which has
been sent to General Flagler, the Chief of
Ordnance, for remark. It is likely that be
will recommend that the suggestions of
Lieutenant Brown be carried out.
Lieutenant Brown sends to the War De
partment from Denver, where he has been
on leave of absence, samples of a curb bit,
saber belt plate, canteen, meat can, fork,
spoon, infantry cartridge belt plate, hooks
for canteen, and blanket straps made of
alumnum at his own expense from the
regulation models now in the service. "With
these samples He submits an interesting re
port, which reaches the "War Department
with the favorable indorsement of Lieuten
ant Brown's senior officers. He very fully
supports his belief in the practicability of
substituting aluminum and its alloys for
brass, tin, iron and steel in the manufacture
of certain articles used in the cavalry and
infantry.
Secured Pointers From Pittsburg.
Lieutenant Brown claims that there is
a saving of nearly one pound in the weight
carried by the infantry soldier, while in the
horse equipment and cavalry accouterments
the saving is 1 pound and 2. ounces. In ad
dition to this advantage aluminum possesses
a resistance to corrosion, and the aluminum
article will seldom, if ever, require any
cleaning other than to be occasionally wiped
off with a moist cloth. The aluminum
curb bit has all the strength of the bit made
of the more common metals by making the
branches a little thicker. There is a saving
of weight over the regulation bit of eight
ounces.
Captain A. E. Hunt, the President of the
Pittsburg Beduction Company, whose con
cern turns out two-thirds of the aluminum
manufactured in this country, has written
Lieutenant Brown that the alloy of alumi
num and titanium, which promises to be
most useful for military purposes, costs a
little more than the pure aluminum when
manufactured in large quantities. The spe
cific gravity of this alloy in the rolled sheet
is from 2.9 to 3.1, while that of the pure
metal is 2.6. It is considerably harder
than the pure metal.
This alloy has stiffness and resistance
enough to justify the belief that the alloy
would be an excellent substitute for steel ih
the manufacture of saber and bayonet
scabbards and many like articles of equip
ment The picket pin, which weighs not
less than 22 ounces, ought to weigh, if made
of this alloy, not more than 11 or 12 ounces,
and would doubtless be found fully as serv
iceable as the one now in use. Other
articles, notably the meat can, canteen
forkand spoon, if made of so soft and pli
able material as the pure metal, are consid
erably lighter and it is claimed better than
those nowm use.
Gprmany Utilizing Aluminum.
Lieutenant Brown suggests in his report
that the articles named be made of the alloy
and sent to the troops for trial and report
The Pittsburg Beduction Company has
already shipped ten tons of aluminum to
Germany for the manufacture of equipments
and is now experimenting with reference to
getting a strong and ductile metal to answer
for cartridge shells.
.As to cost, Prof. J. "W. Bichards, the
leading authority on aluminum in this
country and a member of the Lehigh Uni
versity Faculty, is quoted by Lieutenant
Brown as saying: "The reason that an
aluminium spoon is listed at$l SO is that it
is made, engraved, and polished like a
silver spoon by a silversmith, and they sell
perhaps 100 a month. An aluminum spoon
could be stamped out ot a sheet, and
since it contains about 3 cents' worth
of aluminum, the cost should not
be over 5 cents. Bnt Government
spoons are made by thousands. If the
makers of these spoons bought hard-rolled
aluminum sheet, stiffened with titanium,
they could easily stamp them out and sell
for 5 or 7 cents "apiece. Begarding alum,
inum canteens the meat can and cup if
these articles were made by thousands, they
should not cost more than one and a half or
two times as much as ordinary material.
The extra cost of the fork should not be
more than 4 cents apiece, or a total of 9
cents each, If stamped out of aluminum
stiffened with titanium. "
The Canteen Will Never Rust.
It is shown that with aluminum at 51 60
per pound in the manufactured shape the
saber belt and infantry cartridge belt plate
can actually be furnished In aluminium for
less than they are now supplied in brass by
the "War Department This, of course, is
largely due to the fact that the specifio
gravity of aluminum is less than one-third
that of brass. The canteen made of this
material will never rust and will not only
be more durable than the tin one, but the
water contained in it will always be pure
instead of being contaminated with iron
rust, which is now frequently the case.
Lieutenant Brown is having made at
Pittsburg of the aluminum-titanium alloy
two picket pins, and expects that their
weight, even with the present iron swivel
head, will be a half, and possibly less than
a half, that of the present iron pin. Of its
durability he cannot say at this time, but
intends to give it a thorough trial in actual
service.
The saber belt plate, which he submits,
has been tried in the army for two months,
and during that time has not been cleaned
or polished in any -way. The curb bit has
been used for about two weeks, and sub
jected to a test sufficiently severe to
demonstrate that it is perfectly practicable
to make a curb bit of aluminum which is as
safe as the present one. There seems to be
no doubt that the aluminum alloy will be
better for this purpose than the pure metal,
and by its use Lieutenant Brown hopes to
secure a stronger and safer bit than the one
now in use, and yet have it weigh but half
as much.
ENDED WITH A BALL.
Reception Tendered the New Jerusalem
Church Delegates at Cincinnati.
Cincinnati, May 16. The general con
vention of the New Jerusalem Church

'"t " ' " I -- I . , ., - I.I I I I I - II! ,.
M Wonderful success attending the first public sale of lots at the new town
of ALIQUIPPA, at which no lots were sold on a dismal, rainy day,
and the great interest of the investing public in the new town which has mani
fested itself in an average sale of ten lots daily for the past four weeks, has
induced the company to hold a second public sale at the grounds on the above
date. Trains Will Leave the P. & L. E. Station at 7, 8, 12: 30 and 2:55,
City Time. Tickets Can Be Secured at the Office, ROOM 30,
Westinghouse Building.
THE RECORD OF A MONTH.
The growth of Aliquippa in the past month exceeds all precedents. Almost
one-half of the property has been. sold. Five big factories have located there,
whose working population will insure a town of 4,000 people, and new factor
ies coming. The lots average but $300 apiece, affording a splendid invest
ment. Purchasers are already holding their lots at an advance of 50 to 80
per cent, while the original prices asked by the company remain the same.
Aliquippa offers a safe investment that will double or even treble present prices
within a year, Aliquippa needs homes. Buy a lot at $300; build a house for
$1,000. It will be a sure renter for $200 a year or more. This means a
$1,300 investment paying over 15 per cent in addition to the enhancement on
the value of the property. Can savings banks or building and loan associations
do as well? Many choice lots are still left, but they are going every day.
Your golden opportunity will be at the sale, SATURDAY, MAY 21. Don't
miss it. Call at the office in the meantime for plans and information. We
want you to thoroughly investigate the prospects and strength of Aliquippa
before investing a dollar.
