groes nnd threo of tho negroes have

The slaughter started about 10
.o'clock at night, when Sims and Car.3
were shot down in their etore by a
negro named Sam Clark. Slnu was
cngasod in checking up his cash when
Clark came in. Berore ho could
make any kind of a move Clark
raised a Winchester nnd fired, the

CONSERVATISM A FKATURK.
Manufacturing Firm Prepare for a
Quilt Beaton Many Workmen
Laid Off.
R. 0. Dun Sl Co.'e "Weekly Review
ot Trade" says: Interruption of In
dustrial pi op-ess by the holiday labor
conflicts and Inclement weather again
produced a somewhat unsatisfactory
trade situation. Yet the money mar
ket is easy and accommodation read
ily obtained In legitimate 'business
channels. Liabilities of mercantile
failures are comparatively small, in
dicating that most concerns have pro
pared tor a quiet season end are able
to withstand a period of diminished
tales and tardy payments. This ton-1
servatlve altitude Is the fundamental-j
ly strong; feature of the situation, and i
when business revives there will bo'
no pressure to dls;.oe of heavy stock
of undesirable goods. More manufac
turing plants have reduced hours or I
wages, and several strikes have added ;
to the army o! unemployed. No dell-1
nlte change Is reported in the Iron and
steel Indus! :y, quotations being bare
ly maintained and new contracts
placed with great discrimination.
iMcro machinery has stopped at some,
concerns and runr.iiig time is reduced
at others. Tho impression is gaining
ground that the declines In quotations
will not go much lurcher, and there I
less disposition to secure new con
tracts by making concessions. Small ,
orders for structural material are be
ing placed, and there Is a lair move
moat In pipe and plates, but the de
mand for rails, rolling stock and other
tatiway equipment is distinctly un
satisfactory. In several departments
cf Hie Industry prices have declined ,
miftlcler.tty to attract business from
abroad, and this Increase -In exports
is ths best leature of the situation. ;
Little change is noted "in textile man
ufacturing conditions. Improvements
l.i maintained in woolen goods, the
demand whowlng greater diversifica
tion. Whole-ante clothiers exhibit
mure confidence by making better pro
vision for their needs during the bal
eneo of tho season. Commercial fall-1

ADMITS HIS COMPLICITY
Kovovick Makes Complete Con
fession of Ferguson Murder.
TELLS HOW SCHEME WORKED,
Three Other Men Who Escaped to
Croatia Were Implicated
In Crime.
Mllovar Kovotlck, under sentence of
death lor the murder of Contractor
Ferguson, has made a complete con
fession. The admissions were made Sunday
afle: noon by the Croatlon to Chief of
Detectives McQualde, of Pittsburg,
and several others through Interpre
ter Winkler.
According to Kovovick, Mllovar Pat-
t..,...lnl. ilnnln,nil diiIHv tt tnlirrlot In

j, hB(J nollltng , do wita lt

Kovovick stated that there were
four ne.1 mpncatea in the crime,
(nree of hom have now returned to
crontla He described the laying of
the mjne an,i gave all details,
The first plan was to shoot him, but
this was considered crude and the
dynamite mine In the road was then
adopted as the best (Ian.
On the morning or September 25
Kovovick and his three companions
laid the mine beneath the small cul
vert in tho foot of Seminary hill, and
then awaited the approach of their
victim. Kovovick and another man
were on the west side of the road
hidden In a clump of bushes along the
fence. A third man was hidden be-
hind tho stump and touched off the
battery which hurled Ferguson to his
doom, while a fourth was further down
the road acting as lookout. The gun.
Kovovick stated, was at hand to be
usod In case the dynamite failed to do
the work.
When Ferguson and Martin were
hurled from the buggy Kovovick said
tho men hiding with him ran into the
road, and picking up the satchel full
of money, ran over the bill.
Kovovick claims that his accom
plices will never be caught, for they
left him Immediately, starting for
Erope and are now h1(,J()n.
Kovovick admitted having money
changed, at the First National bank, of
Pittsburg, but says the fact that he

TORTURED BY ROBBERS.
Afjed Man's Feet Burned Till He Plead
for Death.
Bound, gagged and tortured until he
revealed the hiding place of tho money
about his home, was the experience of
David C. Leasure, a wealthy farmer,
living near Rochester Mills, Indiana
County, Pa. Five masked men enter
ed the treasure house, bound Mr.
Leasure, his wife and a girl employed
by them. The Intruders then demand
ed money from Mr. Leasure, who gave
them $10 and denial ed that It wal
all the coin he had about the building.
The thieves became enraged at so
curing so little booty, fastened Mr.
Leasure to the floor and removing his
shoes tortured him by placing burning
taper against his feet.
While the torture was going on the
men demanded money, but the fatmer
insisted that he had no more cash
about him and plead with the robbers
to kill him outright or cease torment
ing him. He offered the mon silver
ware, jewelry and other valuables
about the house, but they refused It
all and continued their demands for
money.
"Where Is tho cash you got for that
load of lumber sold last week?" asked
one of the thieves as he applied the
burning paper to the farmer's feet. Mr.
Leasure said that he had received a
check for the lumber and that It was
deposited in the bank at Intliana. Un
able to secure more money or Infor
mation concerning his wealth from the
man the robbers left the house.
SUSTAINS THE "OLEO" LAW.
In Ohio Case It Makes No Difference
If Product Is Colored.
The supreme court of tho United
States, In an opinion by Justice White
upheld the constitutionality of the
oleomargarine law.
McRay'g counsol argued first that,
although the "olco" was colored to
look like butter, tho color was ob
tained by the use of butter, which was
Itself artificially colored, but the use
of wh'jeh as an ingredient in the manu
facture of "oleo" was authorized by
law; and, second, that the tax 10 cents
a pound was prohibitive nnd confisca
tory nnd an attempted Federal usur
pation of tho police powers of tho
State. The court said that the tax
contemplated the finished product dnd
not the details of manufacture. If the
"oleo" was colored it should pay the
hlghor tax, and If uncolored lhe lower
tax, regardless of how obtained.
As to the amount of the tax the
court said lt was settled that the
court could not consider the amount
of any tax fixed by Congress, this be
ing a purely polltlcnl function.

Theater and Fires.
Since the Chicago Theater fire, the
life of the theater manager In Berlin
has not been a happy one, says the
London Globe. The police decree wa
promptly issued under which, ever
since, at every theater in the city, tho
Iron fire curtain has had to be lower
ed after every act, and as this curtain
weighs about five tons, the constant
repetition of the operation is not "with
out Its lnconvenlencea. Tho other
night it brought about a queer dead
lock nt the Metropol Theater, where,
as the Are curtain stuck at the end of
the last act but one, the performance
was stopped for the night, dsplte the;
protests of the public, who I did not
rveti get their money back. The only
solace offered by tho management wo
to tlx the lapsed act for the afternoon
next hut one, for which ticket "were
Usucd free as the audience left tho
theater.
