Womar^ Tries to Kill French Minister
of Public Work;.
Paris, July 16.—P. Eandin, minis
ter of public works, was shot at while
driving to a cabinet meeting at the
Ely see palace today.
The author oi the attempt oil the life
of M. Buudiu was a woman accompa
nied by a W-year-oid child. She ap
proached M. Baudin’s carriage and,
suddenly drawing a revolver, tired at
the minister. M. Bauain was not hit
and proceeded to the Elysee palace.
The woman was arrested and gave
her name as Oigewska, and said she
lived at Naterre. Her husband is a
Pole and was an architect at Nice until
1894.
Madame Oigewska asserts that she
had no intention of hitting M. Baudin,
but that slit, fired her revolver in the air
to draw attention to an alleged griev
ance of her husband. Her husband is
described as Couut Oigewska, a natural
ized Frenohman, holding a government
receivership in the neighborhood of
Paris. He believes he is being deprived
of money due him by the minister of
foreign affairs.

OITIET AROUND TEE MILLS
Concensus of Opinion Is That Com
bine and Amalgamated Ollicers Will
Got Together Soon and Adjust Their
Differences.
Pittsburg, July 16.—There were no
new developments in the great steel
sirike in this district during the early
hours of the second day. Ail the plants
closed yesterday were shut down tight,
and matters about the Painter mill,
LiniLav and McOutcheon, Clark’s Solar
ironworks, the Monongahela and Star
tinplate plants were quiet. It was
stated that Painter’s mill was in partial
operation, but the only men at work
were a few Hungarians, who were
cleaning up about the yards. Replying
to tne rumor that the management had
brought a strike breaker from Alabama,
Assistant General Manager Hari^rsaid:
“We can break our own strikes. ”
Superintendent Albrecht, encountered
a few moments later, said the plant
would be running in full within a few
days.
Speculation as to the probable settle
ment of the strike is talked of among
the business men and people generally
and the concensus of opinion is that the
combine officials and the Amalgamated
officials will get together before long
and adjust the differences, home of the
managers were emphatic in stating that
it would be arranged witnin 48 hours,
yet they could give no positive informa
tion of any movement to start negotia
tions.
President Shaffer Cheerful.
President Shaffer was cheerful when
seen this morning and said he was en
tirely satisfied with the situation. He
had just been in communication with
George Powell, president of the Ameri-.
can Tinpiate Workers’ Protective and
international association of America at
Eiwood Citj 7 , who announced that his
organization, was in hearty sympathy
with the Amalgamated strikers and the
statement was untrue that 3,000 dipper
men would continue work. It was re-
ported that these men had decided to
eoutmne work because of the lack of the
Job printing at the right prices.
co-rnegation of the Amalgamated asso- j
elation when the scale wuu the Ameri- j
can Tinplate company was adjusted a
year ago.
President Shaffer announced that j
strike benefits will go to the idle men :
from the time of the actual inaugu
ration of the strike yesterday. The as
sociation has a substantial fund, he says, '
and the men remaining at work in
plants outside of the big steel combine
will pay liberally to support the strike. ,
He is preparing a circular for the in
formation of the strikers.
When asked about President Mar
shall’s statement last night President ;
Shaffer said:
‘T shall not ask the miners to go out j
on such a strike. God help the poor !
coal miner. He is the best union man
in the world and the poorest paid of j
them all. He has troubles enough of ;
his own and we have no desire to in
volve him. But while I shall not in- |
vite nor solicit a sympathetic strike, the ;
Almalgamated association stands ready
at any time to effect an alliance wltn
the United Mineworkers or any other
kindred organization, many of whose
members are employed by the United
States Steel corporation.”
Lodge Formed at Monssen.
Assistant Secretary M. F. Tighe of
the Amalgamated association returned
from Monssen, Pa., today, where he
went to organize a lodge in the steel
hoop mill of that place. He reported
that a lodge was formed with about 75
members ont of the 250 men employed
in the mill and that he had succeeded in
closing the plant.
Vice President David Reese reported
to headquarters that he had organized
the men in the William Clark Son’s
mill, taking 100 men ont of the 500 em
ployed and as a result the plant was
closed today. This mill was the only
hoop plant in the city that worked yes
terday and has been non-union since
1889.
President Shaffer stated mat there
i was one mill working at Dnncansville,
I Pa., and that the Scot dale and Old
Meadow plants were still at work, but
nothing was heard from Saltsburg.
J. R. Phillips, district manager of the
1 American Tinplate company, was asked
| whether the company would attempt to
1 start up the closed mills with non-union
! men. He said he did not know. Mr.
i Phillips was then asked whether any

SEARCHING FOR SUMNER,
Swindler Gets $6,000 From Jackson*
ville People.
Jacksonville, Fla., July 16.—Scorns
of Jacksonville people are making a
search for Elliott Sumner, who came to
this city a short time after the fire and
advertised to buy lots and build modern
homes for fire sufferers for small month
ly payments. He did a land office busi
ness. In nearly every case 837.50 was
charged for plans and specifications,
which was the only payment required
until the house was finished.
W. J. McTimmons, a well known cit
izen who paid $42 for plans, etc., alleged
that the said Sumner was not comply
ing with his contract, and through his
attorney secured an attachment against
Sumner’s bank account. The news of
this legal process spread and a swarm
of people have crowded around his
offices. In the meantime Sumner has
disappeared, and it is said withdrew all
of his money before leaving. It is esti
mated he had collected over |6,000.
Tampa Cigar Industry.
Tampa, Fla., July 17.—For the fiscal
year just closed Tampa factories paid
for making cigars $1,909,900, a fraction
less than $2,000,000 for wages for cigar-
makers alone. This is a monthly pay
roll the year round of $159,153.33, which
means that much money placed in cir
culation here by the cigarmakers and
does not incjpde the aruout paid to the
strippers, the selectors, the pickers and
packers and all that class of employes in
a factory. This amount was for the
manufacture of the 128,660,000 cigars
produced during the fiscal year. The
present fiscal year will largely exceed
the previous one. The sale of the ci
gars during the year amounted to $9,-
000,000.
Negro Thief :*hot.
Jacksonville, Fla., July 17.—Robert
Turner, a negro, received what may
prove a fatal wound in the Plant system
freight yards, back of the ice factory.
He was shot in the back near the thigh
by a 32 pistol balL It is claimed that
the man had broken open a Plant sys
tem freight car for the purpose of steal-
_ ing. Watchman Davis and Deputy

Lawsuit Over North Carolina Laml
Thought to Be Valueless.
Raleigh, July 16.—In Clay county, on
the great estate known as the Cunning
ham lands, copper has been discovered.
The land is virgin forest, lying in the
foothills of the Great Smoky mountains,
very near the Tennessee line. A great
suit will result.
It is asserted that the land, which
was regarded as practically worthless,
and which bankrupted Cunningham, is
now worth $1,000,000. George West-
feldt of Buncombe county, bought the
tract, which was then thought dear at
$3 an acre. The Adams heirs and the
Westfeldt heirs are now to have a great
suit for ownership. The Adams heirs
lay their claim on a state grant made
prior to Westfeldt’s purchase.
A boundary question comes in and
makes the whole contest hinge on the
location of two trees supposed to have
been marked when the original survey
was made. It is claimed that certain
marks on one of the trees were cut at a
more recent period, to mislead.
DEATH IN-THE CHAIR.
Frank Wennerholm, the Cliatauqua
County Murderer, Electrocuted.
Auburn, N. Y., July 16.—Frank Wen-
nerholm, the Chatauqna county mur
derer, was put to death by electricity
in the prison here today. The current
was turned on 1 minnte and 5 seconds,
and the man was pronounced dead.
When he took his seat in the chair
Wennerholm appeared to be on the
point of utter collapse. As the strap
over the face was put in position the
doomed man tossed his head uervonsiy
to one side and uttered a low moan.
The current was of 1SOO volts and
seven amperes, which was reduced after
2 seconds to 200 volts for half a minute
and then increased to its original
strength for 2 seconds, when it was re
duced to 200 volts and again increased
to 1800, when it was turned off and the
the man was pronouuced dead.

Memphis, July 17.—Memphis is be

SIX PERSONS DROWNED.
Party of Excursionists Meet Tragic
End Near Savannah.
Savannah, Jnly 15.—The twelfth an
nual excursion cf the Hebrew Gaemahl
Hasad, commonly known as the H. G.
H., had a tragic ending today, six mem
bers of the party being drowned. The
H. G. EL is a popular society with the
orthodox Jews, chiefly from Russia and
Poland, being of a benevolent charac
ter. One of its features is an annual
excursion for their members and their
families. The excursion today was to
Danfnskie, 20 miles down the Savannah
river on tfle South Carolina side. The
beach at Dauiuskie is a poor one, and it
has been largely given np as a resort.
This accounts in part for the accident.
The steamer Eulalia had been char
tered for the trip, and left this morning
with 175 excursionists on board, the
majority being women and children.
The mooring place at Danfnskie is at
the month of a creek and is called
Bloody Point
A party of 12 or 14, mostly women
and children, decided to go in bathing
on the seaside of the island. Between
the shore and the deep water there is a
wash or sluice, then a shoal and then a
fairly good shelving beach. The tide
was ont when the party went in, and
there was iittle water iu the sluice and
none at ail on the shoal. After being in
some time the party noticed that the
incoming tide had covered ch« shoal,
and decided to return. They were all
right until they reached the sluice,
where the water was running like a
mill race. Almost the entire party was
caught and a struggle for life began.
Some managed to get back on the shoal
and a few got across the danger spot,
bat six—five women ana girls and one
man—were caught by the tide and car
ried down.
The dead are: Mrs. Abe Erickstein,
aged 24, married, with two children;
Annie Kronstadt, aged 14; Ida Kron
stadt, aged 18; Leah Silverstein, aged 17;
Annie Horrowitz, aged 13; Ike Seacht,

steeple of the Methodist church, struck
the barn of A. S. Oliver and burned it,
together with its entire contents, live
stock only being saved. The loss is
about $300. In about an hour the barn
of W. M. Wilcox was also struck, and,
together with several buggies, wagons
and other storage, was totally consumed,
entailing a'loss of about $300.

What We Charge.
our
goods
We charge a little more for
than it costs to produce them.
We are not “cheap” manufacturers how
ever. Things have got to be done just as
well as brains and brawn can do them be
fore they are good enough for our customers.
The great item in the cost of anything
is the labor in making it Skilled workmen
command good pay, but they do more and
better work than the unskilled. That is
why it is cheaper to pay good wages to good
men than poor wages to poor men.
Our business is big. That makes onr
prices little. The more orders we fill the
lower down our prices go. A small profit on
each ot many sales is a source of a larger
income than a big profit on each of
sales. As the boy said ;
makes one big.”

Samuel A. Gaylord, Senior Member of
the Bankrupt Concern, Admits the
Crookedness of His Late Firm’s
Ways.
St. Louis, July 16.—Sensational ad
missions have been made on the stand
by Samuel A. Gaylord, senior member
' of the firm of Gaylord, Blessing & Co.,
which failed recently. Mr. Gaylord,
who is one of the oldest stock brokers
in the city, admitted at the hearing be
fore Bankruptcy Referee Comes that
the firm had been practically insolvent
for two years and has been doing busi
ness on other people’s money—on funds
secured from local customers. Deals
wherein no stock ever changed hands,
being merely a matter of bookkeeping
in which the firm never forgot to charge
np commissions, margins and interest,
were admitted by Mr. Gaylord, who also
told of the employment of relatives’
names and the use of an insane man’s
name in the accounts.
At the time of the failure they were
short $150,000,000 bonds face value, and
of 5,000 shares of stocks in New York.
It is admitted by the witness that the
failure was due to their own specula
tion, by which they had hoped to win
and pay off their indebtedness, esti
mated to have been something near
$200,000. As to the missing collateral,
left with the firm’s customers, attached
to promissory notes, Mr. Gaylord ad
mitted that all had been hypothecated
with the banks as security for loans to
the firm. There was no apparent de
sire to conceal anything of the involved
transactions of the firm on Mr. Gay
lord’s part and the revelations he made
were the more astonishing to the cred
itors assembled, because of the confi
dence and trust for many years reposed
in Mr. Gaylord.

There is more catarrn in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until thelast lew years was supposed to
be incurable. For a great, many years doc
tors pronounced it a iocal disease, and pre
scribed local remedies, and by constantl-
faiiing to cure with local treatment, pro
nounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only con
stitutional cure on the market. It is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. It acts directly on the blood and
