TARIODS EUMORS OP A MASSACRE. Some Saj That 12 Men Were Shot Dead) but Later News Says Onlj One. SOME OP TOE MINES START UP AGAIN "Wallace, Idaiio, July 14. Two com panies of United States infantry and two companies of State militia arrived at noon. A guard was at once distributed throughout the town. There are about 130 men in the four companies. "Wardner is almost de serted, and except for the military occupa tion all signs of trouble have disappeared. The headquarters of the military will be established at Wallace. There is a large number of unarmed miners in town, and everything is quiet. Colonel Cartin, of the Fourth "United States Infantry, is in command of the military forces in Ccour d'Alene, and is now at "Wardner, where he has established picket lines and taken charge of the town. Thers are now about 400 troops, United States and State, in Shoshone county. Companies B, C, D, E and F of the Four teeeth Infantry, from Fort Vancouver, in command of Lieutenant Colonel Theaker, are row on the way here, Giieral Curtis, commanding the Idaho forct 6, said this afternoon: Martial Law bat Regular Process. "I have advised Governor "Willey that abou 1,000 troops are on the way to Occur d'Al ne, and that martial law will be de clare . Troops will be distributed through out C cur d'Alene and lives and property protected. At the first sign of trouble all i Moons will be closed. Business will go along in itB regular chan nels and the regular process of law be enforced. Xo interference will be made with press dispatches, except those of a sensational character. The military will work no hardship on peaceable citizens, and as soon as the county is restored to its normal state the troops will leave. The militia is composed of young business men, and thev want to get home as soon as pos sible. They are serving without pay and can ill afford to lose their time." A telegram was sent to General Schofield at "Washington this afternoon, that the labor troubles in Cccur d' Alene mining district are at an end for the present. The rioters have dispersed and the State authorities, aided by Federal troops are in full possession of the field. Soldiers Assist the Civil Authorities. The people who were complaining be cause the soldiers had not arrested the riot ers, have an erroneous conception of the po sition of the troops in the matter. They were ordered there merely to support the civil authorities in the restoration of order, and were acting altogether under the orders of the Governor of the State. They had no independent functions, and had ab solutely nothing to do with any disorders that may have occurred before their arrival. It is the duty of the civil authorities to en force the law, and all the troops could do is to protect them in so doing. Orders hae been received at Fort "Walla Walla from Department Headquarters to move to Cccur d'Alene at a moment's notice. All the miners went home to the various mines last night. The Foorman and Tiger mines, which have been deserted since Monday, started up again this morning; also the Mammoth and Custer mines. "Work at the Morning and Hunter mines was also resumed this morning. A ripple of excitement was created last night among the remaining miners, when it -was learned that the Granite mine force had not left. The Last Non-Union Men Driven Oat. A delegation of miners immediately started in the darkness for the mine, four miles from "Wallace, and brought the non union men down. They were ordered out of Cccur d'Alene. The miners claim that Pelashmutt & McAulay agreed to dis charge the men and had not done so. These are the last non-union men in Cceur d'Alene. It is said they will leave to-morrow. The report that 12 men were killed in the Fourth of July canyon, created great indig nation among the citizens and conservative miners. The Associated Press correspond ent telephoned to Mission twice and got an answer twice that nothing was known of it there. The Coroner of this county went down to Mission last night at 10 o'clock on a special train and returned at midnieht. He told the Associated Press correspondent that ne coma learn notning about the killing. A telephone message from Cceur d'Alene City states that one of the men reported killed, J. H. Ward, who has his family here, has arrived there. Nothing further could be learned. Troops have arrived at Wardner now, and will probably come here soon. The women and children are returu ine to Gem and other points on Canon creek. The Story ol the Massacre. A previous dispatch from Boise City said that excitement continued at a high pitch there all night. During the evening the Governor received the following message lrom Judge Heyburn, of Spokane: "Did not leae Harrison landing until 7 o'clock this morning. The strikers took 132 of our armed miners to the mouth of Fourth of July Canon, near Citaldo, last night, and, after robbing them, fired on them. We know of two killed, but don't know how many more. They are preparing to go tbro'ughthe same performance with 200 more this afternoon. They just start them, then shoot them Mown like dogs. The de lay in getting troops is unaccountable." Two men named Kinney and Orring se cured a boat and started down the river in the darkness, and was hailed again and again by fugitives who had escaped the mob and concealed themselves in the bushes. "In all we picked up eight or ten of these miserable wretches," said Kinney. "Some were swimming in the water and others had been lying in the bushes. All were wet, cold and perishing from hungex, fright and exposure. After swimming the rher they had waited for three hours be lore the boat came along. It was the most pitiable sight I have ever witnessed. One man was insane from fright. When the boat would run her nose in toward shore the victims would be so eager to get aboard that they would not wait for the small boat but would wade off and swim to"a place of security." A score of refugees from the Mission laughter straggled into Spokane to-day. They present a pitiable appearance, with torn clothes and bruised bodies. They tion firni the story of the slaughter. A rumor is in circulation that .000 armed men are on their way from Montana, and if the strikers are arrested bloodshed is predicted. Martial Law Is Proclaimed. Last evening Sheriff Cunningham arrived here from Wardner. He accompanied the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine force to Cataldo on the Union Pacific. At that point the Sheriff mot Colonel Carlin and the troops and General Curtis. The latter read the President's proclamation declaring Sho shone county under martial law. The TROOPS IN CONTRO Sheriff sent the following communication from here: "The miners have disbanded and gone to their respective homes. There is no trouble in Wallace or Wardner." Had the colored troops arrived at Wal lace last night there would have been a battle in the darkness, as the mountains were full of armed miners, thoroughly con cealed. They did not want to fire on the troops unless in case of the utmost ex tremity to prevent the troops going to Wardner. An appeal has been made to Senator Palmer, of Illinois; Sanders, of Montana, and Congressman Dixon, of Montana: Sweet, of Idaho, and Watson, of Georgia, for a Congressional investigation of the Cour d'Alene trouble. The appeal is signed by Peter Breer, of the Butte Miners' Union; S. F. Bushnell, attorney for the Miners' Union, and a large number of citizens. BAPTIST YOUNG PEOPLE. Their First Annnal Convention Meets In Detroit A Review or Ihe Preliminary ' Work of the New National Organization Qnite as Good Beginning. DETnorr, July 14. All incoming trains to-day added to the host of people who had come to attend the first annual convention of the Baptist Young People's Union of America. The first session was called to order by the National President, John A. Chapman, of Chicago. A gavel, made from the oak tree in this city under which the Indian Chief Pontiao held his councils, was presented to the President by Mr. Finn. The report of the Board of Mangaers re viewed the work of the board and progress of the Union since its inception. Through the efforts of the Executive Committee of the Board, the Union was purchased last fall from the American Baptist Publication Society at a cost of 513,S00, to be the organ of the society. Soon after the Chicago Convention the outlines of a complete edu cational system were drawn up, and the year has been spent in careful conference between a large number of pastors and teachers upon the details of the work. As yet no final steps have been taken, as the matter was to be recommended to this con tention for its action. The whole Northern States from the At lantic to the Pacific, are organized under State unions, with the exception of New England, outside of Connecticnt, and unions have also been started in Ontario and Quebec There are in all 3,500 local unions in this country. SUIT AGAIHST HAJOB EATHB0NE, Ills Sister-In-L-ir Charges Him With Beat lug Her in a Sale. Hamilton, O., July 14 Special Miss Grace Campbell, daughter of the late L. D. Campbell, has filed suit against Major Kathbone, Fourth Assistant Postmaster General, who is Miss Campbell's brother-in-law. The suit is to recover property sold by Miss Campbell to Kathbone, the sale, as she claims, being effected by fraudulent claims and misrepre sentations. Recently Miss Campbell sold her share in her father's estate to Major Kathbone for $106,400. At the time the deal was made Miss Campbell was in Washington, and the story was that she was about to marrv a German count. Suddenly she reappeared in Hamilton and consulted her lawyers. Her petition says she in trusted Major Kathbone with power of at torney to act for her. She alleges that in stead of the purchase price named in the deed she received only $71,500, most of it in notei She further alleges that Major Kathbone represented to her that the property was heavily covered by debts and that her in terest when these were paid would be only about fCO.OOO. This she charges Major Kathbone with knowing to be untrue, al leging that her interest in the property is worth 5125,000 or more. She says Kath bone induced her to sell the property at much less than its value. Miss Campbell wants the Court to set aside the sale. EAILK0AD3 CAUSE A TIE-UP. Cross Salts and Injunctions Responsible for Delay to Passengers. New Yobk, July 14. Special The New York and New England Railroad, the Housatonic Kailroad and the Danbury and Norwalk Kailroad applied at Bridgeport, .Conn., yesterday to havea receiver ap pointed for the New England Terminal Company, a corporation organized by them to give them a direct entrance to New York by way of Oyster Bay. The New England Terminal secured here to-day a temporary injunction restraining the Housatonic and New Haven Kailway Companies or the re ceiver appointed in their snit from inter fering with the Terminal Company's busi ness. There was a tie-up at the Oyster Bay end this morning occasioned bv an order re ceived by Captain Bixbee, of the New Eng land Terminal Company's transport steamer used to ferry the trains over, to lie at Oys ter Bay until further orders. After they had been an hour or so on board the tied-up boat the passengers got off and walked back to the Oyster Bay depot and were sent to Boston by the New I'ork and New Haven road. FISHIHG AT TJKCLE SAM'S EXPENSE. One of tn Secretaries Foster lias Good Snccess With the Flonnders. New York, July 14. Special Secre tary Foster,, of the Treasury Department, slipped over from Washington early in the week. His coming was known only to his old personal friends, Henry W. Cannon, President of the Chase National Bank, and to Surveyor Lyon. He rode uptown to Twenty-third street, and scooted down to the North river, where the revenue cutter Grant awaited his august presence. On board were Mr. Cannon, the Surveyor, a eoodly supply of npollinaris and other bait. The Secretary had come for a couple of days' sport at Uncle Sam's expense, and he is passionately fond of flounders. It is a conservative statement to say that 37 flounder lines were carried aboard the Grant. Early on Sunday morning the Secretary and his friends were hanging over the rail of the Grant, down the bay. The Secretary had good success. He tells his friends that he captured one flounder which weighed 15 pounds before it was dressed. He got 16 others of less weight On Sunday night the Grant was run back to town. ONLY FOLLOWING WHITE FOOTSTEPS. A Finte Indian Gets a Pardon for Ihe Mur drpr of n ATltch Doctor. Carson Crrr, Nev., July 11 Johnson Sides, an Indian interpreter of the Piute tribe, whose name was so frequently con nected with the Bad Lands and the Messiatf craze, has appeared before the Board of Pardons to plead the case of a young Indian who killed a witch doctor in Elko county some years ago. He was asked by one of the board why the killing took place with such little ceremony. He drew himself up and deliberately replied: "For the same reason that your people used Jto kill witches." This piece of repartee took immediate effect, and in a short time the prisoner was a free man. Shakespearean Headings at Chautauqua. Chautauqua, N. Y., July 14.

Carlisle Way Be Titted Against Him for the Democrats, and CONGRESS CAST ADJOURN SO EARLY )HIC1AI, TH.EOKAK TO THE DIPATCIM Washington, July 14. Early next week an important political move will be made in the United States Senate. The tariff and the relations of the Kepublican party to it will'be placed on record through the medium of an exhaustive speech by Senator Aldrich, of Khode Island, the ablest tariff: expert in Con gress. His speech is to be made the Kepublican issue of the campaign, so far as the tariff is concerned, and is being prepared with great care. It will be an elaborate presentation of 'the Kepublican protective policy, and a pronounced and de tailed defense of the McKinley bill. For some time past Senator Aldrich has been engaged in getting together the mate rial for his speech, and is at present devot ing all of his time to its preparation. This important contribution to the political literature of the campaign will, it is under stood, be accompanied by the long-deferred report of the investigation made at intervals during the past year or so by the Finance Committee of the Senate as to the effect of the McKinley bill upon the wages of laboring men in this country. Mr. Aldrich, as Chairman of the sub-committee that prosecnted the investigation, has in his possession a mass of valuable testimony from manufacturers, importers and laborers, which was gathered by the committee at various cities. The McKinley Bill to Be Vindicated. It has been repeatedly claimed by Demo cratic orators and free trade newspapers that the report of this committee has been and would be withheld until alter the cam paign, because the testimony embraced in it supports the charge that the McKinley bill has had a directly opposite effect from that intended by its authors and advocates, and that it has actually caused a decrease in wages and an increase in the price of general commodities. It is understood that Mr. Aldrich's speech will attempt to prove the absolute inaccuracy of the charge, and to demonstrate that, on the contrary, the McKinley bill has been as beneficial to the laborers and masses of people in the United States as its most enthnsiastio friends claimed for It, both before and after it be came a law. In the interesting and somewhat spirited debate on the tariff that took place in the Senate June 29, between Senators Hale and Vest, the latter taunted the Kepublicans with being afraid to have a lree and open tariff discussion, and referred rather significantly to the fact that the report of the Senate Finance Committee had never seen the light of day. He laid down, in his characteristically vig orous style, certain anti-protection proposi tions which he endeavored to use as a bait for dragging Senator Hale or some of his colleagues into a general tariff discussion, but the Maine Senator would not allow him self to he caught. Significant Statement by the Senator. He stated at the time, however, that be fore the session closed the propositions of Senator Vest would be answered and refuted seriatim, and that the tariff attitude of the Kepublican party would be thoroughly and freely made known and an opportunity given to the Democrats for a full and lair discussion if they cared to have it Senator Aldrich's speech is the speech to which Senator Hale referred, and the Khode Island Senator is the Kepnblican champion who, it was indicated, would throw down the gauntlet to his Democratic and free trade opponents. There is no man in public life more qual ified to enter into a thorough and protracted discussion of the tariff question than Sen ator Aldrich. For 20 years he has made the tariff subject the study ot his life, and has been industrious and inces sant in his pursuit of knowledge on that subject. He is generally referred to as an expert on the tariff question be cause he has studied it in all its ramifica tions, and has more detailed information with regard to the operations of the vari ous tariff laws than any man in Congress. Carlisle to Answer Aldrich. Mr. Aldrich is not an orator, but he is very strong as a tariff debater, and the Democrats will find it bard to find the man to stand up against him. It is possible that Senator Carlisle will be that man, and the speeches of these two Senators will makeup the tariff issue npon which the Democrats and Kepublicans will go before the country. The fact that Mr. Aldrich has decided to bring the tariff question again before the Senate is not generally known, and it is theretore undetermined whether a general tariffdebate will follow or whether both sides will be willing to rest after each has had an opportunity to state its position to the country. It 1b now the desire of the leaders of both parties in the Senate and House to pass the appropriation bills and such routine legis lation as comes up in the intervals, and then adjourn. Since the disposal ot the sil ver bill, yesterday, it has been the general opinion that final adjournment could easily be brought about within ten days. This opinion is undoubtedly correct, and the early adjournment programme may be car ried out unless, the speech of the 1th ede Island Senator should bring on a pro tracted debate. When Mr. Aldrich, as Chairman of the Committee on Kules, brought in a resolution, recently, providing for final adjournment within the next fort night, he publicly stated that he did not think it would be possible for all business to be disposed ot by that date. In making this statement he probably had in view the speech which he will deliver some time within the next few days. MAY BE M1CHENER. No One Else Jnmplne at tlip National Chair manship Senator McMillan Won't Have It Proctor at Present Preferred by the President. Washington, July 14. Sv. Pol iticians here still think that General Mich ener, of Washington, formerly of Indian apolis, will be chosen on Saturday as Chair man of the Kepublican National Commit tee, although a few generally well-posted men insist that Senator Proctor, of "Ver mont, is the coming man. The trnth of the mat ter is that the President doubts the wis dom of Michenec's selection, and if he in sists on the choice of Senator Proctor he will have his way. The Vermont Senator is personally very much averse to taking up the work, for which he regards himself as unfitted. On the other band, he feels that he is under great personal obligations to the President, as he owes his prominence in political life solely to his friendship, which was given him as a reward for his influence with the Vermont delegation at Chicago in 1888. From an ob scure New England business man and poli tician, Mr. Proctor has become a Cabinet officer and Senator wholly through the Har rison influence. If the President now in sists that Senator Proctor is the man he wants for Chairman, he probably will be. There has been a movement on foot dur ing the past few days looking to the selec tion of Senator McMillan, ot Michigan, and an effort has been made to have the place thrust upon him. Indeed, it is not yet known that this plan has been frustrated. The President has been .very anxious that Senator McMillan should assume the task, but hi has been met with a prompt refusal. The Michigan Senator would not be at all pleased if be shonld be chosen, because he would be compelled to decline. There are various reasons why he could not accept the place, one of them being that he has lust assumed the Presidency of the consolidated Mc Millan and Alger Car Campanies in Michi gan, which have just pooled their issues and started out on a new tack with a capital off 8,000,000. The Senator will be obliged hereafter to give his" attention to this great business enterprise, and could not, there fore, assume the responsibility of taking charge of the campaign. It looks, therefore, very much as if Proc tor or Michener will be chosen, with, the chances in favor of the latter; A BALANCE OF POWER In the Electoral College Aimed for by the Sliver Slates They Will Demand That Each of the Candidates Commit Himself Acalnsta Veto. Helena, Mont., July 14. The Mining Congress met this morning to consider the silver resolutions. The committee was not ready to report. The morning hours were occupied with the reading of a paper advo cating silver coinage and denouncing gold bugs and bankers, by John Doniphan, of Missouri. Doniphan's paper created en thusiasm. It was ordered spread upon the minutes. The Committee on Kesolutions returned two reports at the afternoon session, the majority favoring unlimited free coinage and the minority an international monetary conference. Patterson, of Colorado, made a long Bpeecb, urging the adoption of the majority Teport, and E. V. Smaller, of Wisconsin, spoke in faVor of the minority report and against the Stewart silver bill. The minority report was overwhelmingly defeated, but no action was taken on the majority report. Patter son's speech created a sensation. He tried to turn the Mining Congress into a third party movement The following are among the resolutions offered by Patterson: Resolved, That wisdom and patriotism re quire that the peoples of the silver States and the State Conventions of all paities therein shall shapo their action so as to se cure the oalance of power, if that be possi ble, in the Electoral College, to the end that electon elected by the peo plo or snch States may so act Inde pendently in the Electoral College ns to defeat the election of any man as President who will not asrree that tno will of the peo ple asexpiosseil In any future act of Con gress in relation to silver shall stand with out Executive lnterfence or veto; that In or der to meet the contingency of the possible election of a President by the present House of Representatives, constituents of members of the piesent House should be appealed to to demand of all members or the present House who are candidates for re-election a promise that they will support no man lor President who will not permit the will of tho people, as ex pi esaed in any future act of Congress upon the silver question, to stand without Execu tive veto. WHITNEY "WILL NOT HAVE IT, But Cleveland Still Wants the Ex-Secretary to Be His Chairman. Buzzaisd's Bay, Mass., July 14. Mr. Cleveland was shown lost night a dispatch from New York saying that ex-Secretary Whitney was wavering on his decision as to whether he should accept the chairman ship of the Democratic National Com mittee. In commenting upon the matter Mr. Cleveland said it was very plain that Mr. Whitney's acceptance was demanded by the unanimous sentiment Of the party. While he did not think he ought to urge Mr. Whitney to do anything which his judgment did not approve, it was difficult to see how the ex-Secretary could with stand the pressure which was brought to bear on him to accept the place. Mr. Whitnev said in New York to-day, after reading the above dispatch, that un der no conditions would he accept the Chairmanship of the Democratic National Con-mittee. "I do not feel that I am fitted for such a pes! tion," he added. "Orcourse, I am going to do all the work I can, and I am sure that I can do more good out of the chair than in it The chairman's work is purely routine, and I am not able to do that sort ot work. At times like these I cannot even read all my letters, much less answer them. I cannot make a more detailed statement at the pres ent time. If, however, I find it necessary, in order to define my position, I shall make a statement in the course ot the next few days." It has been decide 1 that Messrs. Cleve land and Stevenson will be notified of their nomination in Madison Square Garden Julv 20. PEOPLE'3 PARTY COdUETINQ. Threo Democrats Selected for the Nomina tion for Jndces in Minnesota.

A Col ored Woman's Brave Battle With a Deadly Reptile. ChaklestON, S. C., July 14. Special A negro woman who lived near Hamp ton's Pond left her home Tuesday forenoon to pick berries. ' While moving about in the berry patch she 'saw a large rattlesnake curled up ready to strike her. She started to run, but her dress caught in the bush,and in an instant the reptile struck her, his fangs penetrating her hand. He at once re coiled and again plunged at her, sinking his fangs in herhand a second time. He made a third Btrike, this time at her face. The poor woman, with remarkable cour age, caught the snake by the neck and beat its head against a stone until it was dead. Almost immediately she was overcome by the poison and fell 'unconscious, a few steps away from the body of the rattlesnake. There she was found by neighbors and re vived long enough to tell her story. She died soon alter being taken to her home. A HIGH ROLLER TAKES A TUMBLE.

Mayor Kennedy, of Allegheny, Says Ho Should He Reduced, IP RELIEVED OP POLICE WORK. Ordinance for Police Magistrates Finally Agreed Upon. A LI7ELY SESSION ON rUBLIC WORKS The special sub-committee of the Finance Committee, having in charge the ordinance for the creation of police magistrates in Al legheny, last evening succeeded in agreeing on a form of ordinance and unanimously recommended it to the Finance Committee. This ordinance has been under discussion for several months. It was originally drawn up by Mayor Kennedy, and was based upon the Pittsburg ordinance. At the last meeting of the committee it was referred to the City Solicitor, to prune and correct, In some way an ordinance on the same subject, prepared by a member of Councils, got into the Solicitor's bands. When the committee met last evening and Mr. Elphinstone presented his carefully corrected draft, it was found that he had worked over the wrong ordinance. The paper drawn by the Mayor was found, and the Solicitor went at it, cutting out a number of sections which were covered by statute. The general terms of the ordinance have been published. There are to be five police magistrate districts. The first district com prises the first nine wards and the Thir teenth ward, the Tenth ward is the second district, the Eleventh ward the third, the Twelfth ward the fourth and the new Four teenth ward the fifth. The magistrate for the first district is expected to do all the hearing ot police cases, the other offices being merely honorary and created to com ply with the law. On the motion of Mr. Simon the salary of the magistrate for the first district was increased from $1,200 to $1,500 per year. Itrady to Rednco the Mayor's Salary. Mr. Henderson said he would agree to that increase with the understanding that the salary of the Mayor should be reduced. Mr. Simon pledged himself to vote for such a reduction, and the other members of the committee, Messrs. Dahlinger, EschelmaU and Lewis, expressed their opinion that there ought to be a cut in the Mayor's salary. Mayor Kennedy was present, and he said that he believed his salary ought to be cut down. The creation of the office of police magistrate, he said, would very greatly re duce the Mayor's work. He had talked with the City Solicitor on the subject, and had been informed that the salary of the Mayor could be reduced during the term ot office. He was willing to sign an ordinance to reduce the salary during his own term, but would not feel like signing one to reduce the salary of his successor without affecting his own. On motion of Mr. Henderson the salary of each of the outside magistrates was re duced from $100 to 850. The time for re porting to the Mayor all the cases disposed of was changed from daily to weekly. The magistrate tor the first district is required to file with the Controller a bond for $2,000, and each ot the others a bond for $500. As amended the ordinance was unanimously re commended. Improvlns the Streets of Allrgheny. The Allegheny Committee on Public Works held a lively and long session last evening. The sub-committee on streets re ported a large number of ordinances tor the paving of streets with asphalt block. The committee amended' by inserting a pro vision that the paving might be of other improved material, ana in that shape ap proved the action of the-sub-committee. There was, however, lively 'opposition to the approval of the ordinances. Mr. Kaylor insisted that more time ought to be taken to investigate the condi tion of the various streets. Some of them, he said, did not need paving. Messrs. Knox and Gerwig spoke at length against authorizing large expenditures without having in sight the money to pay for, them. Mr. Knox said: "You are depending upon tho issuance of (5,000,000 worth of paving bonds, but vou cannot depend upon that. It is dimes to nickels that the people of Allegheny will vote down th.it bond propo sition." Mr. Gerwig expressed the same opinion, but the ordinances were all recom mended to Councils. The resolution to direct the Chief of the Department of Public Works to buy 23 mast arm for electric lights from the Key stone Most Arm Company, created a long debate. This resolution was once approved by the committee, but was returned by Se lect Council The Keystone Company was the lowest bidder, the next bid being by K. W. Danver. Discussing the Best Mast. It was claimed by those who desired to give the contract to Danver, that his mast arm was much superior in operation to that of the Keystone Company. Mr. Parke said that the Danver arm represented inventions made by some of the employes of the city lighting plant, and he thought such inventions ought to be encouraged. Mr. Gerwig said that it had become too common to reject the lowest bids, even when they were regular. If the persons who were expected to get the job did not happen to have the lowest bid, some sort of technical objection was raised and efforts were made to get a re-advertisement. The committee finally voted, by 9 to 6, to sus tain its former action. The contract for the grading of Fleming street to James street was let to James Mc Afsl; the grading of Bridge street was let to Carson & Orr; the grading, paving and curbing of Windsor street was let to Sloan & Mclllwain; the gradiug and paving of Gardner street was given to Joseph Hast ings.

Fred W. Mujsler, a Weil-Known Man of Manchester, ands Bis Life Snot rflear Throush Bis Head Rut a Short Time Before Bo Expressed Hope for the Fu tureA Mysterious and Sadden Im pulse. Fred W. Mussler, a young and well known butcher of 212 Beaver avenue, Alle gheny, committed suicide last evening by shooting himself clear through the head. Mussler comes of one of the old German families of Manchester. His father kept a butcher shop there for many years, and at his death left the business to his wife, Mrs. Mary Mussler, who lives on Liberty street, Allegheny. Mrs. Mussler conducted the business for several years, adding to the competency left her by her husband, until she was able to retire, and left the business in charge of her sons, Louis K. and Fred. The old business is now carried on by Louis at 124 Beaver avenue. A sister is the wife of tbeKev. Mr. Goerber, of Cincinnati, and the family is in other ways well connected and respected. Fred Mussler was finally set up in busi ness try his mother at No. 212 Beaver avenue. 'He married and became the father of three pretty children. Something like four years ago he began to drink rather heavily and soon neglected his business. Was Worried Over Ills Debts. The shop was finally closed np, and for a time Fred worked as a laborer. His mother gave him another lift, and the shop was re opened about a year ago. But the habits of the proprietor did not improve. He spent his profits in drink, went on protracted 'sprees and neglected his business. Recent ly he has been forced to borrow money, in fives and tens, from his neighbors, in order that he might be able to pay cash for his meat, for his circumstances and habits be came so bad that the wholesale butchers re fused any longer to give him credit. These loans he was not able to repay, and he be came deeDer and deeper a" debtor, until there did not seem to be much prospect of his ever catching up. He did not show any signs of intoxication yesterday. About 5:30 in the evening he stopped in front of the undertaking shop of E. B. Lowrie, which is near his home, and talked with Mr. Lowrie about the repay ment of a small loan. At that time Mussler was sober, and seemed to be in a comfort able frame of mind. He told Mr. Lowrie that he had quit bis drinking, had deter mined to attend to business and would soon be able to pay his debts. Mr. Lowrie gave him words of encouragement, and left him. Shot Clear Thron;h Ills Heal. Mussler went to his home. He lived in the rooms over the shoo at -12. What oc curred in the short interval between his talk with the undertaker and 7o'clock, to cause the man to so change his mind, no person knows. He greeted his wife as usual, and sat down to await supper. After LATIMER'S Remnant Day, TO-DAY-FRIDAY. COMPLETE AND ENTIRE SALE OP ALL REMNANTS FROM THIS SEASON'S ....LARGE SALES....
