CONDUCTOR KILLED

Engage In Fatal Rioting.
Philadelphia, May 3. John McGuc
kin, aged 36. of this city, a union con
ductor, was shot and instantly killed
during a fight between union and non
union motormen and conductors near
the Frankford and Lehigh avenus
barn of the Philadelphia Rapid Trim
alt company.
Victor Farroll. aged 21. a non-union
man from Washington, D. C, admits
firing the fatal shot, but maintains
that he shot in self-defense. He
held without ball to await the action
of the coroner.
According to Farrell and his friends
they were returning home about 1
clock In the morning when they
were set upon by a crowd of union
aympathUers, and were being badly
beaten when Farrell pulled s revol
ver from his pocket and fired. Mc
Guckin'8 body was found lying on the
street by a policeman. Farrell and
his friends, who bore marks of the
conflict, were arrested at the car
barn. Hugh R. Thomas and Kugene

Samuel Woodward of Baltimore, and
Joseph B. Cummins of San Francisco
ere held In ball as witnesses.
Smallpox From Europe.

European smallpox has appeared In

dren, have been reported and one
death has occurred. The schools of
the city are being disinfected and
every precaution taken to prevent a
spread of the disease. According to
Pr. Martin Frledrlch, city health offi
cer, the disease was probably brought
here by a Pole three months ago and
In whose family the first case oc
curred.

Doctor Shoots Himself.
Klttannlng, Pa., May 3. Despond
ent over a prolonged Illnes3, Dr. A.
P. N. Painter, 49 years old, one of the
best known physicians In Armstrong
county, fatally shot himself, the bul
let from a 2 calibre revolver enter
ing the left breast over the heart.
An Unexpected Cheek.
A man who won a reputation for cool
daring and almost eccentric fearless'
ness along a thousand miles of the
southwestern border was A. L. Tar-
rrtt, at one time a sergeant in Me-
Nelly's company of Texan rangers,
One night In 1873, about six months
after Parrott left the state service, he
-was sitting In a house In a little town
In southwest Texas playing chess with
a friend. It was a warm night, and
the chesslionrd was on a table close to
an open window. Farrott had the white
men. Ills queen was in a direct line
with the black king, but a black knight
was between the two pieces. It was
Tarrott's move. Suddenly there was a
sharp report outside, and a bullet whls
tied in through the window, hit the
black knight and burled Itself In the
wall. Farrott had been bending over
the board, and the bullet was evidently
Intended for his head. But for a few
seconds he did not Btlr. lie saw the
black knight suddenly vanish. Then In
his peculiar drawling, hesitating way
be said, "Check:"
SPECULATING ON MARGIN.
American and English Way of Doing
It Are Very Different.
In America a speculator's capital
(with an exceptlou to be noted below)
Is necessarily at least the size of hla
inurgln In his broker's hands, though
It Is to bo feared that lu only too many
Instances it is just this aud nothing
more.
On the London Stock Kxchnngo an
other method prevails which, says
Moody's Magazine, It Is probable has
done tnoro In the long ago past to give
ptock speculation Its bad name than
all the episodes of au unsavory nature
which have ever occurred on Amerl
cuu exchanges. In Loudon after the
Inevitable introduction to a broker the
new customer gives his order, but
makes no deposit at all.
The broker Is supposed to learn
something of his new client's means
and how far he should be allowed to
commit himself. Twice a month the
English have what they call their set
tlement days. A customer long of a
stork whose commitment has gone
somewhat ngnlnst him Is tbeu required
to pay tho differences, as they are
called, between his purchase price and
the current quotation.
Ho must nlso pay a charge catled a
contango for holding the settlement
over Into the next fortnightly period
If he does not wish to close the com
mitment. As a consequence of this
way of doing business a speculator
may bo trading on a few points mar
gin in reality or, In fact, on no margtu
at all. He may bo utterly penniless
without the broker knowing it
That this method works out with
fewer losses In England than it would
do here Is due to the fact that the
social and economic strata to which an
Englishman belongs are much easier
to determine than the corresponding
facts among us, and nlso that an Intro
duction means more there than here,
as the Introducer is regarded as to a
certalu extent responsible morally for
the business deportmeut of his friend.
It Is worth while observing (and this
is the exceptlou referred to above)
that lu certain Instances the methods
pursued iu American stock exchange
houses are the same as those obtaining
In London. Little as the fact Is known,
It is not an unfrcquent custom for very
wealthy speculators to have uo fixed
margin or even no margtu nt all with
their brokers.
If a man of this sort loses on a com
mitment he sends his broker a check
for the loss. If he wins his brokers
remit to him for his gains. The bro
ker dislikes to offend a very powerful
client by troubling him for funds, aud
bonce takes risks with his account
which he would not dream of taking
with the account of smaller men. In
stances of this sort sometimes become
public In cases where the broker Is
forced Into bankruptcy, whether owing
to this cause or not.
Could Do For Herself.
She was a very delightful but a very
aged lady over nlnety-and her friends
and relatives and even chance ac
quaintances, drawn by her exquisite
personality, nil did her homage aud,
as the saying Is, "waited on her hand
and foot."
She accepted It all very graciously,
but with some Inward rebellion, for o
a very old aud close mouthed friend
she ouce sold, with a quaint pucker
of Hps and brows:
"I am reminded sometimes of the
old lines:
"Twa were blowln' at her none,
And three were bucklln' at her shoon.

A -Word For the Tightwad.
In France they have nn expressive
phrase, "liquid money." It means that
part of the family Income which is
used for the necessities and luxuries
of life. It Is quite apart from and
kept apart from the more serious, sub
stautlnl part of the Income, which is
the saved part. In America the entire
income is "liquid, and the man who at
tempts to make part of it solid is
called a "tightwad." A "tightwad"
is really n man who creates a princl-
pnl-n capital, iu other words-and he
is the living example of what every
private business must be and of how
the country's resources should be ban

Voting In Spain.
Voting In Spain is held to be a duty
to the community, not merely a prw
liege of tho Individual, and neglect of
civic obligations carries Its own pen
alty. Male adults of legal age and un
der seventy, with the exception of
nricsts. notaries and Judges, are re
quired to vote iu municipal electlous,
Failure to cast a ballot is punishable
by having one's uame published as
censure for neglect, by having taxes
lucrensed 2 per cent, by suffering
deduction of 1 per cent In salary if
employed In the public service and for
the second offense the loss of right to
hold elective or nppolutlve oftlce.
Hit Landscapes.
A nouveou rlche recently attended
picture sale. A friend who bad noticed
htm nt the sale asked afterward, "Did
you pick up anything nt that picture
sale, Jorklusr aud the other respond
ed: "Oh. yes: a couple of landscapes,
One of 'em was a basket of fruit and
the other a storm at sea,"
Public Penance.
In former times persons guilty of
grievous and notorious offenses were
required to make open confession and,
further, to make satisfaction for the
scandal given by their bad example by
doing penance publicly In 0 white sheet
in their parish church. The sheet was
used to show clenrly to every one
Which was the offender. The last time
that public penance was done In an
English church was on Sunday even
ing, July 30, 1882, when a man named
Uartree, In the church of All Saints,
East Clevedon, ninde nn open confes,
slon of Immorality and promised to
perform the penance thus imposed on
him by the vicar. No white sheet was
used on this occasion. The last case lu
which one was used appenrs to have
been one In St. Bridget's church, Ches
ter, in 1851, but on that occasion tho
penance wns not public, the church
door lielng locked. In the previous
year, however, public penance In a
white sheet was done In a country
church In Essex, and a similar thing
occurred In Dltton church, near Cam
bridge, in lSIO.-Stray Stories.
GUN COTTON.
A Peoullar Characteristic of This Ter
rible Explosive.
Many and odd are the muterluls en
tering Into the manufacture of modern
explosives, but peruups the most Inter
esting of nil these elements of destruc
tion ns well as tho simplest is gun cot
ton. Tho guu cotton manufacturing In
dustry Is largo, as enormous quantities
are used In the charging of torpedoes
and for similar purposes.
The base of gun cotton is puro raw
cotton or even cotton waste, such ns Is
used to clean machinery. This is steep
ed In a solution of one part of nitric
and three parts of sulphuric acid. It Is
the former Ingredient that renders tho
mass explosive, tho sulphuric acid be
ing used merely to absorb all moisture,
thus permitting the nitric acid to com-
blue more readily with the cellulose of
the cotton.
After being soaked for several hours
i tho solution described the cottoti
passed between rollers to expel
all nonnbsorbed acid, a process carried
to completion by washing the cotton in
clear water. This washing process Is a
long one, requiring machinery which
reduces the cotton to a mass resem
bling paper pulp. Should any uouab
sorbed add be allowed to remain It
would decompose the cotton.
If the explosive Is to be used after
the manner of powder It is still fur
ther pulverized and then thoroughly
dried, but If Intended for torpedoes It
is pressed into cakes of various shapes
nd sizes disk shnped. cylindrical, line
squares and cubes. When not com
pressed gun cotton Is very light, as
light as ordinary batting.
A peculiar characteristic of this ter
rible explosive Is that a brick of it
w hen wet may be placed on a bed of
hot coals, and ns the moisture dries out
he cotton will flake and burn quietly.
if dry originally, however, the gun cot
ton will explode with terrible forco at
ubout 320 degrees of bent.
I u general It Is the custom to ex
plode gun cotton by detonation or an
intense shock Instead of by bent, in a
torpedo the explosive chnrge is wet,
this wet cotton being exploded by
menus of dry cotton iu n tube, this
barlug been flretl by a cap of fulmi
nate of mercury, the cap Itself having
been fired by the tnipnct of the torpedo
against the target. Harper's Weekly.
UNDER THE OCEAN.
Things That Happen at the Bottom
of the Sea.
Naturalists dispute ns to the quantity
of light nt the bottom of the sea. Ani
mals from below 700 fathoms either
have no eyes or faint Indications of
them, or else their eyes are very largo
and protruding.
Another strange thing is that lr tne
creatures In the lower depths have any
color It Is orange or red or reddish
orange. Sea anemones, cornis, sunuips
and crabs have this brilliant color.
Sometimes It Is pure red or scnrlet,
and In many specimens It Inclines to
ward purple. Not a green or blue fish
Is found.
The orange red Is the llsh's protec
tion, for the bluish green light In the
bottom of the ocean makes the orange
or the red fish appear of a neutral tint
aud hides It from Its enemies. Many
animals are black, others neutral in
color. Some ttsli are provided with
boring tails, so that they can burrow
In the mud.
The surface of the suhnmrliio moun
tain Is covered with shells, like nu or
dinary scabeacb, showing that It Is the
feasting place of vast shoals of car
nivorous nnlmnls.
A codfish takes a whole oyster Into
Its mouth, crncks the shell, digests the
meat and ejects tho shell. Crabs crack
the shells and suck out the meat. This
accounts for whole mounds of shells
that are often found.
Not a fishbone Is ever found that
Is not honeycombed by tho boring
shellfish and falls to pieces nt the
touch of the hand. This shows what
destruction Is constantly going on lu
these depths.
If a ship sinks nt sea with all on
board it will be cntcn by fish, w ith tho
exception of the metal, and that will
corrode and disappear. Not a bone of
a human body will remain after a few
days. Philadelphia North American.
