. COUGHLIN’S JURY FIXED.
A Reveiation That Will Probably Re-
quire an Entire New Venire.
Discovery of an alleged attempt to eor—
rupt the jury has brought the progress of
the Coughlin trial at Chicago to an abrupt
pause. Thestate's attorney was given in-
formation just before court opened that
certain jurors, whose names the officials
wound not divulge, are intimately connect-
ed with some of Coughlin’s friends; that
they were placed in the venire for the pur-
pose of gett ng them on the jury, and that
they were ‘ coached” how they were to an-—
=wer all que~tions put to them in order to
quaiify themselves as jurors. All their
replies as to their acquaintance with per-
scns interested in the case and their
knowledge of the previous trial are said to
be fulse. :
A dozen detectives were put to work in-
vestizating the allegations and affidavits
embodying the facts were hastily prepared
to be sworn to. itis said the entire jury
way le dismissed, as the only escape irom
the consequences of the alleged plot of
Coughlin’s friends. It is also said the de-
fense has used the jury Jist for six months
back in preparation for the trial. One jury-
man is alleged to have served on another
jury inside that time On his apg earauce at

amounting to $22,000. Hill is known as the
“Society Forger’ and used the name of the

Money was everywhere abundant with rates
comparatively low and the commercial de-
mand was remarkably small, while the de- |
mand for speculative uses appeared to
be increasing. When there are symp-
¢>ms of a transition state, ordinary indica-
tions based npon the course of business
dowu to a few days ago, are not as valuable
as usual, but on the whole such signs are,
however, less encouraging than they were
a week ago. Reports ot different branches
of trade and from different cities frequent-
ly mention the tariff’ uncertainties as a
cause of natural hesitancy, but it will take
some time to determine whether the gener-
al tendency toward improvement has been
checked or to what extent. The volume of
trade has been son ewhat increased and yet
not as much as was expected. The indus-
tries are waiting with visible uncertainty
regarding the outcome of tariff legislation.
1t is a question whether the werk ng force
employed is larger than it was a week ago.
The sales of wool are again larger than
for the same week last year, amounting to
6,619,800 pounds against 4,354,500 pounds last
vear, but part of the transactions are said
10 be speculative, being based on the the ry
that whatever may happen, later the neces-
sities of the country will compel a larger
consumption within the next few months.
‘The vast accumulation of idle money tends
to stimulate speculation, but it is not a
good sympton. It shows a remarkable
shrinkage in the volume of trade, ,and the
reports from all quarters makes it clear
that the demand for money is
light for the season.

A BATTLE FOUGHT.
Rout Peixoto's Troops.
Heavy Losses on Both Sides.
The latest dispatch received from Rio de
Janeiro is as flows: The insurzentsin Rio
Grande do Sul uave been \ictorious in a
battle with the government forces near
Bage, Gen. Isido o of the goveinme 1t forces
was taken prisoner. Both sides suffered
heavy losses. The report that Curitiba had
been captured by the insurgents is denied.
The government jorts at Rio de Janeiro
continue to cannonade the insurgent war-
ship. The transport Madeira has been set
on fire by the expiosion of a shell from the
forts,and the Aquidaban,the most powerful
vessel of the insurgent fleet, has been seri-
ously damaged.
‘The insurgent admiral, Gama, states the
Joss of the monitor Javary is not impor ant.
He says that the addition of the Taman-
dare with ten 6 inch and two 5 inch quick
firing guns and a heavy complement of
machine and Hotchkiss guns, will more
than compensate for the loss.
‘I'he artillery fire of the forts continues.
The fire from the shore upon Ft, Villignan-
on continued. The losson both sides is
small. The insurgent general, Irar, is re-
ported to be eighty miles south of Saolaulo
The government bas ordered the national
guard in the state of Sao Paulo 10 proceed
south to meet the insurgents. ‘The jnational
guard refused to comply with the order and
the government will therefore send 1,200
men from Rio de Janeiro against the
enemy.
Aumiral Gama will assume command of
the insurgent fleet in the harbor on Thurs
day, when Admiral Mello will leave with
the Aquidaban. Admiral Gama states
positively that he will not bombard the
city unless the city ifires upon his
ships.
I thousand men, felly equipped, are
wailing Desterro, ready to march against
the government forces. Political arrests
continue in Rio and 1,500 persons are now
in pr son. Two Biazilians hase beenarrest-
ed vn board the mail steamer ‘lemar.
President Peixoto has become alie ated
from the sympathy of all decent people,and
s.ands atone with his army. Many persons
join the insurgents daily. The states of
Bahiaand Para favor the insurgents. The
island of Cobras is strongly fortitied with a
garrison of 300 insurgent sailors.
LATER.— + he insurgent admiral, Mello,
has finally succeeded 1n forcing a passage
ast the forts guarding the entrance of the
ay of Rio Janeiro, and that bis flagship,
the Aquidaban, is now on jthe high seas.
The passage was not eflected antil some
desperate fighting had beengdone.
The entrance 18 guarded by Fort Sao Joao
and a water battery on the strip of land ex-
tending nortbea t from the Sugar Loaf,
Fort Lage, Fort Santa Cruz and Fort Pico.
When the ship,wasseen approaching the
forts a heavy fire was directea against her.
She replied briskly and the fight was kept
up until she ran past the fort; and was out
of range. It was seen that some of the
shots trom the forts took effect and it is be-
lieved that the Aquidaban sustained con-
siderable damage. The government forces,
particularly the troops manning the water
battery, suffered severely. It is conjectur-
ed at Rio Janeiro that the Aquidaban will
effect repairs as radidly as possible at sea
and then cruise in the vicinity of Cape 5 |

oque to intercept the Nictheroy

GLOOMY VIEW
Of the Knights’ Future Taken by Mine
Worker John McBride.
A decidedly gloomy view of the future of
the Knights of Labor is taken by John Mc-
Bride, President of the United Mine Work-
ers of America. McBride was a recognized
leader of the Powdely forces, but says the
Hayas faction had so organized the ‘body
that all they could do was to oppose and
expose as the Hayes crowd had the vote
every time.
“I anticipate the complete dissolution of
the Knights of Labor. The official reports
to the assembly showed a nomical member-
ship of but 70,000 and of 1hese but 40,000 are
paid up. When you remember that most
of these have stuck because Terry Powder-
ly was in the lead, it isnot hard to see that
they will rapidly drop off now that he has
been turned down. The order owns propery
worth about $60 000. Maybei1t will bring
balf that at forced sale. [ suppose the
assets will all be absorbed in the payment
of the outstanding obligations and in
salaries.

| return from Hanover, where they had been |

On Saturday, November 11, 350 Amherst
|
students were returning from Hanover, N.
|H.. to Amherst on a special. The train
stopped at various stations for refreshments
and the restaurant keepers seized the oppor-
| tunity to charge exorbitant prices for their
| food.
| The boys concinded that it was much
| cheaper to take what they wanted tban to
pay the high prices charged, so they began
helping themselves. The stone once started
kept on rolling, and as they went on their
journey they took more from each new
place. “At Greenfield they cleaned out the
| restaurant, rood, dishes and ali. One young
man was so enterprising as to steal a bottle
of soda and after he had drank the soda he
carried back the bottle and got a nickel
tor it.
Some others thought that it would be
smart to carry home a baggage truck. so at
one of the small stations where they stop ed
for water a hand truck was taken alongand
was highly valued as a trophy. The au-
thorities objected to the extent of theftsand
reported the matter to the Amherst faculty
with the above result.

ADJOURNED TO FIGHT FIRE.
Pastorsi Lead Their Congregations to
Prevent a Conflagration of Cotton.
A spark {from a passing locomotive set fire
,to some cotton in a big warehouse yard at
Livingston, Ala. Almostin a moment sev-
eral scores of bales caught fire. There was
| ‘more than 1,000 bales in the yard, and the
,watchman could do nothing alone. On an
impulse he rushed toa church near by
where services were being held. The watch-
iman jumped up on a pew and called out,
louder than the preacher or the music:
|: “The cotton yard is burning; come and
| ‘help me fightthe fire.”
The minister threw off his ceat and called
to his congregation to follow him. ‘They
were soon in the midst of the burning cot-
ton and men. women and children were
fighting the fire. The news soon reached
the other church and it adjourned in like
| manner and mingled in the battle with the
fiery element. After two hours’ fight all
but 60 bales were extinguished and removed
trom danger, Sixty were entirely destroy-
ed.
LAUDANUM AND MUSH.
The Dose 2a UtahWoman Gave Her Uncle
in Order to Secure $2,000.
At Salt Lake Mrs. Emma Van Patten has
been arrested on the charge of murdering
Soren Neilson, a wealthy banker of Fn'-
riam City. The 20th of last October
son suddenly and mysteriously died and a
post mortem examination revealed the
presence of rough on rats and laudanum in
‘his stomach. Mrs. Van Patten, who is a
neice of Neilson, was visiting her uncle at
the time. Investigation has elicited the
fact that Mrs. Van Patten bad the evening
before Neilson’s death purchased a vial ot
landanum. Mush and milk, which was
served the same evening and of which Neil-
son partoo:, proved fatal when administer-
ed toseveral fowls It was learned that

State Liquor Business in South Carolina
Makes a Poor Showing.
The experiment of State control of the
iiquor tratlic has been in operation in South
Cerolina for four months and the report of
the State Treasurer has just been completed
An analysis shows that the State dispensary
has cost $134 473 and that it has paid back
$100,332, leaving a deficit of $34,161. lt is
Jso shown that the county dispensers owe
the State Treasury $85,000, which includes
all the stock on hand in county dispen-
saries.
No statement is given of how much the
State owes for liquor, but after all due al-
lowances. the State appears to be $40,00)
ehead on the four months’operations, which
means a profit of $120,000 a year. But this
profit on the books isa very difterent thing
from a clean net cash profit, and the indica-
tions are that the returns from the dispen-
sary at the end of the year will never be
felt by the people in lessening the tax rate.

Hot Fighting in Mexico.
Persons who Lave just arrived at El Paso,
Tex., from Chihauhau confirm reports of a |
severe battle between the Federal troops
and the insurgents. Last Thursday morn-
ing a number of officers were brought in
from the West to the army hospital. It was
reported that they were ill of dysentary.but
it is positively known that they had been
shot in battle. Where it was fought is not
known. Neither can it be learn d ho v many
officers were broughtin. The reports of
continued movement of Federal troops to
the west and northwest fom Chihuahua
have also been confirmed.
His Watch Is Missing.
The Rev. William Johnson, one of the |
best known colored preachers of Decatur, |
Ga., is in jail. Thos. Echols, a financial |
pillar of the church, notified Mr. Johnson |
that one his children was sick unto death |
and requested prayer. The ‘prayer was at |
the child's bedside. Mr. Johuson asked the |
father to pray also. When the men arose
from their knees Mr. Echols tound that his
watch was gone, He studied over the mat-
ter and after the preacher had gone decided
to have him arrested. The congregation
stands by the pastor and insist that Echols
is an agent of the devil.

ORACULAR FOR IHE LAST 1I1ME.
How a Lecture on the Sharpness of Train
Newsboys Was Made Valueless.
There is one man in New York who
has learned not to display his knowl.
edge of human nature to an unsym-
pathetic world. How he was cured
was recently told by him to the Tri-
bune. He was traveling with his
| wite, and the talk drifted into a dis-
cussion of the sharpness of train
newsboys. What followed is thus re-
lated. ‘*As 1 told you before, I used
to think that my knowledge of hu-
man nature was very deep. Well, I
let myself loose on this cccasion and
gave my wife the benefit of quite a
I dwelt
newsboys become exceedingly good
judges of characver, and that they
depended upon this faculty to a large
| extent to make a living in their line
of business. 1 went so far as to as-
sert, that they could even tell, by
studying a man’s face, pretty nearly
what his tastes were in the matter
of the bonks which he liked to read.
This is where I got too wise. Soon
after making this assertion 1 was sit-
ting in the seat next in front of that
occupied by my wife, when the boy
came along with an armful of books.
He stopped when he reached my seat,
looked at me critically for a few sec-
onds, then pulled out a book from the
bottom of the pile which he carried
in his arms, and, leaning over con-
fidentially, said in a tone which un-
fortunately was loud enough for my
wife to hear plainly: ‘This book has
been suppressed.’ My wife was sud-
denly intensely interested in aa ex-
ceedingly ordinary landscape when I
looked around at her, but I could see
from the amused expression about
the corners of her mouth that she
had taken in the situation. You
may be sure she laughed when the
boy was gone, and everytime I try to
grow oracular with her she only has
to refer mysteriously to this incident,
when I, of course, am compelled to
| close up as tightly as a clam.”

THE HIGHEST AWARD,
Royal Baking Powder has all the
Honors—In Strength and Value 20
per cent. above its Nearest Com
petitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has the
enviable record of having received the
highest award for articles of its class
—greatest strength, purest ingre-
dients, most perfectly combined—
wherever exhibited in competion with.
others. In the exhibitions of former
years, at the Centennial, a! Paris,’
Vienna and at the various State and
Industrial fairs, where it has been ex-
hibited, judges have invariably award-
ed the Royal Baking Powder the high-
est honors.
At the recent World’s Fair the ex-
amination for the baking powder,
awards were directed by the chief
chemist of the Agricultural Depart-
ment at Washington. The chief chem-
ist’s official report of the tests of the
baking powders, which was made for
the specific purpose of ascertaining
which was the best, shows the leavan-
ing strength of the Royal to be 160
cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce
of powder. Of the cream of tartar
baking powders exhibited, the next
highest in strength tested contained
but 133 cubic inches of leavening gas.
The other powders gave an average of
111. The Royal, therefore, was found
of twenty per cent. greater leavening
strength than its nearest competitor,
and forty-four per cent. above the
average oi all the other tests. Its
superiority in other respects, however,
in the quality of the food it makes as
to fineness, delicacy- and whblesome-
ness, could not be measured by fig-
ures.
It is these high qualities, known and
appreciated by the women of the coun-
try for so many years, that have
caused the sales of the Royal Baking
Powder, as shown by statistics, to ex-
ceed the sale of all other baking pow-
ders combined. .

Marshal Canrobert, kneeling in the
Chapel of the Invalides, when his
fellow veteran MacMahon was brought
home to his last rest under the same
roof with Napoleon, furnished a
splendid example of endurance amid
the world’s rough usage. Canrobert
is eight-four, and the last of the
French Marshals. He has seen his
fellow campaigners in Algeria and
those by whom he fought side by
side at Magenta and Solferino depart
one by one; yet he lingers, as if un-
willing to surrender the baton which
represents such historic memories.
