LATE6T FACTS OF THE KILLING OF
SPAIN'S PRIME MIN18TER.
The .Hn-ln M iitlflrd Wrll I.nM I'lnng
In the ld Maii Ojtlo Inr the
Madrid, Auw. 9. The a nation
of lh j'linio minlHtor of 5Hftin, P.nor
Cnnovap df?l rnsttllo, who whh shot an-1
kjil d by the Italian anart hiPt whose
imino 1 Ix'HeVt-d to be Mich"le Annine
Oollt, at the batlxs of Santa AruiMh
Sunday ft-riinnn, was undoubtedly
.nldbloodt'dly pn-ineditated. Gdli d
librrately wat-J'd f'r an ojijiortunity
tn kill the Spanish Btatt-Hioan, and hu
ntily flrtd when h1 hnl no chance of
mlppiriff. In fact the j;FaP3in, who was
Arrpptfd alniopt inimedlatoly after the
prtmir f"U dyinir at the feet of Jds
wli, has dtH'iard or mueh to th''-x-imlnlnK
nmwlstrate. The e$ime intnlH
ter llnpcied for pome tlnf hi ajtony and
PhppmI awfly with a cry of "Lnni llv
Spain!" Futbf-r details of the apaaspU
nation show tflat H(-nor Canovan del
Castillo and hin wife wre present
Sunday innrnlnr at the celebration of
ninpp in the chapel attached to the
baths. After man the premier wan
readliiK and conversinR with some re
porters when the aspaftnin approached
and fired three shots at him with a re
volver, hitting him in the forenVnd. chest
md left ear. The wounded man fell to
the ground rrylirc: "Assaspin! Inff live
Bpalu!" The premier was carried to
hip rofni and expired at 1:30 p. m.; after
xtiejne unction had been administered
to him by a priest of the Dominican
nrder.
Narrow ly ICannpcd I,ynehln.
The murderer, who-was Immediately
seized by people who were in the vicin
ity of the scene of the rrlme, wan se
verely handled and might have been
killed had It not been for the protection
afford'd htm by a number of civil
ruardp. who onn ran to the scene of the
aeapKinatlon. The prisoner, who de
rlared he had killed the premier "tn the
accomplishment of a Ju.t venffeance,"
at firpt gave the name of Rlnaldl and
?laimed thnt the deed wns the outcome
of an extensive anarchist conspiracy.
Latr, however, the aspapsln confessed
that his real name was Mlchele Angine
t?oli, that he was 25 years of ape, a na
tive of Boirpia, near Naples, and that
he left Italy and came to Spain in ISM.
After reaching Spain OollI, according' to
file confession, resided at Barcelona and
8ENOR CANOVA9.
participated in the doings of the various
anarchist associations of that place and
vicinity. After sojourning at Barcelona
for some time, Oollt visited Prance and
Belgium and returned to Spain In July
last. After hi return the anarchist
peems to have completed the plana for
the assassination of the prime minister.
He left Madrid for Santa Agueda at the
same time as Renor Canovas del Castil
lo and awaited an opportunity to as
sassinate the statesman.
In appearance Golll la of medium
height, wears a full beard and spec
tacles and his demeanor is that of a
quiet, law abiding citizen. He says he
is satlHlied with having dune "his duty"
and asserts he had no personal grudge
against the premier and was merely
obeying orders received from his supe
riors In the secret society to which he
belongs. He frankly professes anarch
istic doctrines, says he was sentenced
in 1 to IS months' Imprisonment In
the Jail at Luceia, Italy, and claims
that he escaped from there to Mar
seilles, from which port he made his
way to Barcelona.
A Courteous AmmmId.
Senora Canovas del Castillo, wife of
the premier, who was but a short dis
tance away from her husband when the
crime wus committed, rushed to hi
side upon hearing the shots and, seeing
the premier dying on the ground, she
bitterly reproached the murderer for
his crime. Golll, in reply to the ago
nizing words of the distracted wife,
said:
"I respect you because you are an
honorable lady. But I have done my
duty, and I am now easy in my mind,
for I have avenged my friends and
brothers of Montjuich."
Montjutch Is the fortress of Barcelona
outside of which the anarchists who
have been sentenced to death for recent
outrages have been executed by being
shot in the back. The anarchists re
cently executed outside Montjuich were
the lust batch of the fiends who were
guilty of throwing a bomb on June 7,
1HW1, into a religious procession about to
enter the church of -Santa Maria de la
Mar, upon the occasion of the Corpus
Chrtstl celebration. Twelve persons
were Instantly killed and about 60 oth
ers, several of whom have Fince died
from their wounds, were injured. For
this crime 2fi anarchists were sentenced
to death and the majority of them were
executed. The condemned men Invari
ably shouted, "Long live anarchy!" Just
before the orders to fire were given.
The Spanish newspapers express
great indignation at Golli's crime. Even
the periodicals which have republican
leanings praise the services of the de
ceased statesman. The Imparclal says:
"Yesterday will prove a black date for
Spain. The crime will centuple the in
dignutkm of society against its would
be destroyers."
Many of the newspapers toduy appear
with black borders around their type.
A I'ot Murtom Made
A post mortem examination of the
remains of the premier was made today,
prior to embalming them for transpor
tation to this city. The funeral will be
most imposing.
The indignution expressed at the
crime Is shared by all parties in polities,
and It la generally believed that the
members of the colonial secret societies
were concerned in thu outrage.
It la reported that Senor A. Pidttl,
president of the chumbcr of deputies,
will be up pointed president of the council
of ministers, tn suotiessluu to the lute
premier, at the expiration of the official
nine days' mounting. The ministers,
for the present, will meet dally.
Golll, it developed at the examination
before a magistrate today, succeeded lu
firing two shots at the people who ar
reted him before he was overpowered.
The assassin calls himself a "revolu
tionary anarchist."
tit nor Hllvela, the leadur of the Dissi
dent Conservatives, has followed the
example of Henor trngaslu, the Liberal
leader; Marshal Muittnes de Campos
and others snd hus tendered yon-
lolenccs to the government, while plac
ing his services at the disposal of th
ministers.
The cabinet sat until S o'clock this
morning and decided to publish In The
Official anisette today, which appeared
with a Hack border, the appointment
)f Lieutenant General Don Murcelo d
Azcarrnga, the minister for war, as
premier ad Interim.
Ptennr Ragasta has postponed his pro
jected visit to this city.
In anticipation of possible dlstut b
ances at Batc-dona, the police force of
that city has been r-enforced.
Lnter In the day It was announced
that the hichest military honors will
accorded the deceased at his funeral.
The court, however, will not return here
fiom San Pebastlan, the summer resl
3enre, to attend the funeral ceremonies.
The (iicn regent, however, will be rep
r. pnted at th funeral by the Duke of
Sotomayer, the chief major domo. The
remains will be brought here tomorrow.
A FEARFUL MURDER.
Innane Mnn Bntrhm HIa Wife and Trtrs
' L tn Hill Himitpir.
Bordeiitown. N. J., Aug. . An atro
cious wife murder was committed at
the village- of Fleldahoro, near here.
While Anna Robinson, aged 31 yeais,
was sleeping In her bed with two little
children nestling on her bosom her
crasy husband, James Koblnson, cut
her throat, almost severing the head
from the body. Then he drew the rasur
across his "own throat, cutting a deep
but not fatal gash.
The family lived In a wretched two
story structure, where thjL woman eked
out a miserable aupportlor her little
ones by taking In wasinng. Robinson,
w hose only occupation was the frequent
and brutal beating of his wife, was sent
to an Insane asylum at Trenton about
a year ago after an attempt to kill his
wife wth a stnlkknif. He was re
leased a few months ago at the In
stance, It Is said, of hli two sisters,
who live In Philadelphia.
The beatings wore resumed, and only
a few days ago Mrs. Robinson appealed
to Chief Burgess Jane of Fieldsboro
for relief, but no action was taken. ,
It was clear that the woman had
made a desperate struggle for life. Bhe
had apparently managed to get out of
bod after the first attack, but growing
too weak for further resistance sank
to the floor, where the bloody work was
finished. There were deep cuts n her
hands and breast, the two children were
covered with blood, and the floor Itself
looked like a slaughter pen.

This year's pledges were more spon
taneous, and there were fewer sensa
tlonnl features than In previous col
lections. There was an Individual
pledge of $2S,000, one of $5,000, a few of
$2,000 and $1,000, while cash gifts and
pledges ranged from 80 cents to $00.
Quite a number of rings and some oth
er articles of Jewelry were contributed.
About 50 young men and women arose
when Dr. Simpson called for volunteers
for the foreign missionary service.

Pittsburg. Aug. 11 A crisis Is fast
approaching In the miners' movement
nsaltiHt the New York and Cleveland
Oas Coal rompany. The ni t few days
should dcfVrmlne whether or not the
strikers' obj-ct will be realised. Yes
tei day's .work Is not .viewed In a
disappointing llnht by the campers at
Turtle Creek, Sitndy Creek and Plum
Crock, y-t the happenings were not of
the most encouraging sort. They had
to contend with their first spell of bad
weather. A heavy rain drenched the
camps and prevented the marchers
from carrying out their regular pro
gi amine.
At Plum Creek the rnln and contin
ued absence of a band kept the men In
th. lr quarters, with the result that lit
tle If any mlsslonaiy work was under
taken. The storm also had the effect
Df preventing the march to the Spring
Hill mines, between Wilmerdlng and
Wall Station, which are owned by Al
exander Dempster. The only inarch of
the day was made by the 150 men at
Camp Determination, who left camp
shortly after D o'clock, and, marching
close to the Oak Hill tipples, spent two
hours in the vicinity of the miners'
homes.
There n as not even ordinary excite
ment attached to th Invasion along
Thompsons ltun.
A summary of the day's developments
finds the conditions much the same as
they were the dayfUefor., save that the
company claims to havs made a fur
ther break in the strikers' ranks at
Turtle Creek and Sandy Creek.
Clamoring For the Lenders.
The Plum Creek mine was running
considerable coal yesterday, and the
number of men reported at work equals
that of Monday. The failure to hold a
meeting at Camp Isolation was another
disappointing feature of the day, and
the men are loudly clamoring for the
presence of the olliclals. The batch of
Italians that stluck camp Monday are
expected to do much good among their
fellow countrymen at work In the Plum
Creek mine, but active labors are being
withhold until today, when It will be
positively known whether or not the
men propose remaining away from the
pit's.
District President Patrick Dolan has
accused the operators of the Pittsburg
district with having broken faith with
the striking miners In this district. He
also outlined the policy to be pursued by
the United Mine Workers In their fight
In the central Pennsylvania district,
where It Is proposed to close down all
the mines. He cannot predict when the
strike will be settled, but claims his
organization can stand the Btrike until
the last of September.
Promises Not Kept.
The operators, he said, had promised
to pay the price when the supply at
De Arniltt's mines had been cut off.
This has been done, but the operators
had failed to keep their part of the
contract. The miners who have been
working regularly at Oak Hill mines
have been paid. Those who Joined the
strikers did not get their cash, the com
pany holding It, as under the contract
the merr forfeited their wages by strik
ing. There was no excitement. Be
tween 300 and 400 employees were on
hand, but few of them received any
money. Mr. De Armltt made a speech
to the men, telling them he sympathized
with them and that the money was
withheld, not because the company
wanted It, but because It had to carry
out the terms of the contract. He de
nounced the midnight marching and the
encampment and said it was a blot up
on the history of the country that the
laws are not enforced and such move
ments stopped.
An epidemic of typhoid fever pre
vails In the Turtle Creek valley, and It
Is feared that the disease will break
out In the miners' camp. The health
authorities have warned the citizens
not to uhc the water from Turtle creek,
as It Is known to contain typhoid
gurms.
Turtle creek is the only stream within
several miles of the camp, and the
strikers are compelled to use the water
for drinking, cooking and bathing pur
poses. In Went Virginia.
Wheeling, Aug. 10. Matters have tak
en a turn in the Wheeling district, and
the miners are feeling encournged. A
small army of miner from Mounds
vllle and Benwood gathered at the
works of the Olendale company, eight
miles below the city, and soon Induced
thjs working miners at that plant to
come out to a man. Fluxhed with their
succeHR at this pomt, the strikers, re-enforced
by the Olendale men and by a
body of strikers that had come across
the hills from Elm Grove, went to the
Boggs Run mines and camped out on
the hillside. As the miners came out
frym their work the strikers took them
In and secured their promise to remain
out of the mines during the strike if all
the men employed by the Hoggs Run
would make the same promise. The
army then disbanded, with Instructions
to assemble at the mouth of the Boggs
Run mines, when the other miners will
be seen and their promise to stay out
secured. It Is anticipated that this ef
fort to cause a general suspension in
the Wheeling district will meet with
success. The men at the Wegee mines,
when interviewed by a comnilltee, de
clined to Join the strike.
Debs Causes Uneasiness.
Altoona. Pa., Aug. 11. The fact that
Eugene Debs lu to address the coal min
ers at Irwin this eveninjf causes un
easiness among the mountain operators.
Although there is no apparent dissat
isfaction in this dlstrltct, except at the
Mitchell mine at Oaliluin. which is
working below the regular mining rate,
the near approach of the agitators may
change the situation. Hume of the
mountain mlneia stopped work Mon
day to attend a meeting advertised to
be held on Tunnel hill for the purpose
of giving assistance to the striking
tlallltiiln miners, but no meeting was
held. They are all at work again.

Washington. Aug. 11. The Btate de
partment has not yet received the appli
cation from the British government for
permission to run a telegraph Hue
through United States territory, con
necting the goldiields of the Klondike

the application will raise a new ques

Another Word About Assessments.
In an editorial which recently appcur.tl
in the PitKss, relative to the present -turner
uf making the snmml iisx'ssmonts in
this, and
, ,.,io ne oppose OUTIT COlUle. in
Pennsylvania, there hppenri several point
which we have lung slnco advocated. It
seems to us the method therein proposed
toward obtaining ajust nnd equitable ratio i
of assessment Is the only one which would
or could bring about that result, and we
bi lievethe day is near at hand when that
mode of finK the ratio will be uniformly
adopted. The precepts now, and Tor years
past, Instruct the nssivisurs to pl '.ccsueh a
value upon property as they lnllevc Hint
property would sell r at a cash sale, or
contain verbiage about to that effect; but
no assessor we know of In this locality has
ever followed Hint prescribed method, nnd
we suppose' every oMicer in that capacity
dislikes to make the innovation toward
bringing about such a system of assess
ment. Of course ninny taxpayers would
at first object to this nM;thod; but if the
commissioners lowered the. rate of taxation
in ratio with the rise in valuation given by
the sum total of assessment, they would at
once perceive they were no worse olt than
now, und would have the satisfaction of a
just valuation lu proportion to that of
their neighbors. Hut Mils method would
have to he adopt. by every township in
the county and every county In the state
nt the same time, or there would be no
justice In the matter. And again, the
idea of putting a true und full valuation
on all property and dividing the sum of
that valuation by a nominal figure as 3, 4
or 5. Is a jjood one, it scorns to us, provid
ing every assessor In the county uses the
same divisor. In that case it would secui-c
a just nnd satisfactory assessment nnd wo
believe would meet with thu approbation
of the taxpayers.
There are only three grndi-s of Improved
land now apparent in the assessments of
the lower townships flats, second grade,
and Improved hill. All the Improved
land "on the hill" Is assessed at the uni
form valuation of lt) per acre. That.how
ever, Is not the fault of the assessors the
valuation being plaoed on It by other olli
clals prior, and In lH'Kl This state of
things, too, since wo arc briefly discussing
the matter, Ih not just, Improved land dif
fers very much In value according to dts
quality nnd location. Tuking 10 as a
value for the best quality of "Improvisd
hill" land and that being In a desirable lo
cationnearer market, occ., It would
SvViu that some of the nioro remote nnd In
ferior quality of so-called Improved should
hi at a much less value, anil the most re
mote nnd lnferlorlmprovcd at n figure low
er still. Could those desidcrntums be ob
tained then much nearer approximation to

Should tho stains be d ioply set, dis
solve an ounce of chloride of lime in
a quart of boiling water and apply
the solution to tho stains. Kinso

injure the fabric.
Fruit stains may bo removed by
chloride of lime, but should it fail,
oxalic ncid will do the work. Bo
