OHIO MURDERERS EXECUTED. Otto Leuth and "Urocky" Smith Pay the Penalty of Their Crime Two Others Reprieved. Columbus, O.. Aug. 28. Of the four men to bo executed at the penitentiary annex to-night, between 12 and 6 a. m.. Rimer SharKey, tho Preblo county matricide, has been reprieved to Sept. 20. and Isaac Smith, the Pike county murderer, to Oct. 24. Otto Leuth, the boy murderer, of Cloveland, and John, alias "Brocky," Smith, of Cincinnati, will pay the penalty of their crimes. There has been a great aemand for admission to the prison to-day, and hundreds of people have visited the prison, though only a few havo been permitted to see the condemned men. Their last day has been a quiet one, spent in the reception-room, separated from the other five condemned men in tho annex. Leuth and Smithboro themselves with great courage during the entire eveuing. and up to the time the trap was sprung. The death-warrants were read to the men at 11 P.M., when the spiritual advisers took leave of the doomed men. Leuth left a statement giving a history of It is case, admitting the crime, and denying that tho object was lust. He also left a will disposing of his small effects. Louth was hanged first. He had only to say that he forgavo all enemies, anil urged the officials to be quick with the work. He died in seventeen minutes withont a struggle. Tho trap was sprung at 12:05 a.m. The body was removed, and in less than twentvlive minutes Smith was on the trap. lie admitted his crime, expressed regrets at the same, forgave all. and returned thanks to the warden and family. It was twenty minutes to 1 o'clock this (Friday) morning when he dropped. The crime for which Leuth was executed was tho murder ot Maggie Tnompson, the eight-year-old daughter of'Jacob Thompson, of Cleveland. May 9. 1889. Ho enticed her into his home, attempted to assault her. met with resistance and crushed her skull by several blows with a hatchet. The body, after some days, was hid beneath the lloor, where it was finally discovered. He was arrested, confessed the crime, aud was convicted Dec. 2S. On the night of Dec. 9. 18S9, "Brocky" Smith killed Mrs. Briget Byron, an aged lady. He stabbed her in tho face and neck, and she died a few minutes afterward. Mrs. Byron had accumulated some money and bonds, which was known to Smith and which was the motive for the crime. He was speedily convicted and sentenced and his case ran the usual course without any interference. Smith attributes his crime to drink, and being crazy, as he says in a last statement that he undoubtedly committed the crime, but remembers nothing about it. A Hoy's Attempt on His Sinter's Lire. Kansas City. Kan., Aug. 28. At Rosedale. Kan., to-day, Benjamin Carter, aged lilteu, during a quarrel with his sister, aged thirteen, made a murderous assault upon her. He got a case-knife and attempted to cut her throat. The knife was so dull that it would not serve his purpose, and, after making several ragged lacerations about her neck, threw the kujfo away, and then attacked her with a baseball bat. He beat her over the head with it repeatedly, and finally left her unconscious on the lloor. The girl is in a dangerous condition. The boy was arrested. "Weak and weary" describes the condition of many people debilitated by the warm weather, by disease or overwork. Hood's Sarsaparilla is just the mediciue needed to build up and strengthen the body, purify and quicken the sluggish blood, una restore the lost appetite.

STATUS OF THE BIG STRIKES

Lake Shore Switchmen Quit Work at Chicago, but Later Decide to Return. Grievance Committees Make aProposition That May End the Stockyards Trouble New York Board of Arbitration and the Central. MORE SWITCH3IEN GO OUT. Lake Shore Men at Chicago Refuse to Do Stockyards "Work Thirty-Four Keturn. Chicago, Aug. 28. Twenty-seven switch men in the employ of the Lake Shore road went out on strike last night, tying up all the business of the road for the time being, as far as Chicago was concerned. The trouble grew out of the stockyards difficulty. Superintendent Amsden took a crew of men down to the stockyards yes terday afternoon. Just before reaching there tho men quit and left their engines standing on the track. Some time afterward another crew was started but aban doned the engines at Forty-third street. When the night shift came to go to work they learned that Superintendent Amsden had discharged all tho .men who had left their engines. They immediately called a meeting and the men in the yards at Twelfth street, Forty-third street and Englewood walked out in a body. A general meeting was called at the corner of Sixtythird street and Indiana avenue, and a communication was drawn up and addressed to Superintendent Amsden, in which it was stated that the men would return to work when those who had been discharged wero reinstated. To this communication Superintendent Amsden replied that the men had been discharged for refusing to perform their duties. To-day there was a conference at Sixtythird street and Weutworth avenue, which was attended by about sixty switchmen belonging to both the night and day forces. They were met by Superintendent Amsden, who explained to them the circumstances under which tho night force struck last night, and asked them whether they intended to stand by the company or the strikers. Thirty-four of the sixty men 1rcsent signed a paper agreeing to stand y the company and to go to work wherever tho company sent them. Tho remainder decided to bide with the strikers. Two engines were then sent toPackingtown to do the work needed there, and the remainder are at work in the Lake Shore yards. There was not very much to do to-day, as most of tho cars were gotten out last night. Willing to Go to Work. Chicago, Aug. 28. The representatives of the Switchmen's Mutual Aid Association met this morning with the grievance committees of tho switchmen of all tho roads running into Chicago. The meeting was called to devise some means, if possible, to settle the difficulties which are now threatening the railroad trade of this city. Before the meeting opened Grand Organizer John Hall said to a reporter: "The situation is just this: If - any road attempts to compel its switchmen to handle freight from the stockyards it will very soon have a strike on its hands. In this way the matter will bo brought to tho attention of the association, which will make the fight its own. In that way a general tie-up of all the roads may become a reality." The meeting was attended by representatives of nearly 1,200 switchmen, and was the most important that has been held for a long time in Chicago, as upon the result of their action depended much that was of interest not only to the railroad companies, but to the general public andthe thousands of workmen at the stockyards. The switchmen resolved to handle stockyards freight and do switching iu and about Packingtown, provided the chief of police would withdraw his extra forces from tho yards by 7 o'clock to-morrow morning. Another Switching Association. Chicago, Aug. 28. "The switching association has been permanently dissolved, bnt it will be reorganized under another title and on a different basis," said Manager St. John, of the Rock Island road, to-day. "The new arrangement may not be in working shape for a week or ten days yet," continued Mr. St. John. "It will differ from the old switching association in that it will be entirely under the control of tho railroads. Neither the stockyards corporation nor the packers will be permitted to have anything to do with it. The officers of the new system will be elected by the executive committee of the General Railway Superintendents' Association, which will have absolute control of the work. The men at work In tho new system will be employes not of the switching or any other association but of tho difierent railroads, by which they will be assigned to duty at the stockyards. This will do away with the ill feeling hitherto existing between the stockyards switchmen and their fellow-craftsmen in the other railroad yards. It will so divide the employes that concerted action by them will be almost unattainable." The Alton Trouble May Ho Settled. Chicago, Aug. 28. The Chicago & Alton railroad strike will probably bo settled tomorrow and will be a victory for the road. General Manager Chappell was at Brighton Park all day, throwing switches and watching proceedings. When seen regarding tho strike, he had tho following to say: "We are in a better position to handle cars to-day than yesterday, and 1 think by tomorrow, if the police protection continues as it has in the past, we will be able to clear the yard. In no case will we re-employ the striking switchmen unless they agree to join the switchmen's union and bo governed by its regulations and what Grand Master Sweeney says in the future. As many as four ditlerent committees have approached me to-day, and there will be a private consultation at my office to-morrow morning at 9 a. m., at which our striking employes and Mr. Sweeney will state to me why tho men should be taken back, and also try to adjust the matter." Reef Scarce at Baltimore. Baltimore, Aug. 28. Housekeepers, hotel landlords, the keepers of boardinghouses and their dependencies are feeling the effects of the strike of the switchmen in Chicago. The price of Chicago dressed beef has advanced from 50 cents to SI per 100, and it is said that if the strike is not soon broken the price will go higher. There are six agencies in this city which handle the Western meats, and the average daily sales are about five car-loads each. This week the highest number received by auy one was two cars. A largo number of the employes in the Mount Claro shops of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company have been laid off until Monday next. One reason assigned by the men for this action is that the company wishes to give the men a taste of the strikes now pending, particularly the Chicago strikes. A 111 SITUATION 1IOAUD. AT WORK. Mr. Webb and Matter Workman Lee Summoned to Show the Came of the Strike. .ALliANV. N. V., Aug. 28. TLe following notice was to-day ordered served by the State Board of Mediation aud Arbitration upon Third Vice-president Webb, of the Central-Hudson railroad, and upon Master Workman K. J. Lee, of District Assembly 21G, Knights of Labor: "At a meeting of the State Board of Mediation and Arbitration, held at tho Capitol this day, the following resolution was adopted: Resolved, That In the judgment of this board it is best to Inquire into the cause or causes of the controversy growing out of the difference tetwien the New York Central Hudson River railroad nnd certain of iu employes, who, on aud Hire the lid Inst., have gone ou strike, and that such Inquiry be commenced in the city of NewYork on Tuesday next at 10 o'clock at such place as uiay be hereafter designated. It is requested that the purlieu to the eont rover jr be prepared with their evidence to enable the board toproeeed promptly with the lnvestitfutJon at the lime named, witnesses lor whose attendance process may bo required will be summoned by'&ub-

iwrna on presentation of their names and residence to Charles J. Madden, secretary of the board." The strikers were jubilant when they learned that the State Board of Mediation and Arbitration had decided to investigate the causes wbich led to the strike.' They say the investigation will not be finished at the earliest until Mr. Depew returns, when tho true facts of the case can be laid before him. And knowing the decided views Mr. Depew has heretofore expressed on tho benefits to be derived from arbitration, they expect a speedy settlement of the controversy after his return. The Board of Mediatiouland Arbitration will met in New York city next Tuesday morning in the room of the Court of Common Pkas, part first. It may not be generally known that the board, in an investigation, has the -samo powers and authority as a court of record. From a reliable source it is learned that Roger A. Prj-or. of New York city, will act as counsel to the Knights in the prosecution of the investigation, he having volunteered his services to the general executive board without cost District Master Workman Lee said to-night that his side was ready to present its evidence. Towderly Talks Hack to Arthur. New York, Aug. 28. Mr.Powderly makes the following statement commenting on Mr. Arthur's letter: "The main question has not been touched upon by Mr. Arthur in anything that I have seen yet. A simple expression from his lips in opposition to the taking of the places of firemen by engineers who are Brotherhood men would settle the matter, and that has not been done yet. "Those who took the places of the engineers on the Q' road had already abandoned the Knights of Labor before they did that act of treachery. When the' went West from the Reading I warned tho order and organized labor against them, and did it Eublicly. When Mr. Sargent, for whom I ave the greatest respect, wired me asking if these men represented me in any way. my answer was: 'They violate theirobligations as Knights in doing as yon represent. Pay no attention to them. They represent no one but themselves, and their actions will not be sustained by the order of the Knights of Labor. Such men should be ostracized

by all honest men" Albany's Police Chief Mistaken for a Striker. Aliiany, N. Y., Aug. 28. There is no' change in the situation of the strike here to-day. The chief ot police came near being killed here last night by a Pinkerton man who thought he was a striken Pinkerton claims that freight trains havo been stoned for the last few nights as they passed through Hast Albany. Ho said two shots were fired at a train passing through there at 12:40 this morning. The chief of police, who was near by at the time the shots were fired, could find no traces of the miscreants. Mr. Pinkerton has informed the chief of police that if this work: is not stopped there will be trouble, and he will be held responsible. TCNo Delay to Big Four Train sv Cincinnati, Aug. 28. Mr. D. B. Martin, general passenger agent of the Big Four route, is in receipt of the folio wine;: from the New York Central railroad officials: "All trains on the Big Four route in connection with the New York Central failroad are running promptly on time, and passengers need have no fears of delays or detention." :'A Traffic In Its Normal Condition, New York. Aug. 12. All was quietfat the Grand Central to-day, and all trains were leaving on schedule time. At Mr. Webb's office it was stated that reports from along the road declared that freight was moving . rapidly, and that matters wero about in their normal condition. A. M. E. CONFERENCE.

DISREGARDED AN ARMISTICE

Gautemala Shells a Salvadorian Town While a Peaco Treaty Is Being Signed. Two Views of the Outcome of Negotiations Be tween the Belligerents Little Doubt that Egypt's Ex-Khedive Has Been Poisoned. OAUTEMALAN TREACHERY. Salvadorian Town Shelled While the Peace Treaty Was Ilelng Signed. Sonsonate, Gautemala, Aug. 2a Early yesterday morning, in tho face of the arm istice agreed upon by Guatemala, Salvador and Honduras, and which was to end at G o'clock yesterday if peace arrangements were not perfected, tho Guatemalan forces on the frontier shelled a position occupied by the Salvadorians at El Coco, in Salvador, near that border, thereby adding an other treacherous act to its score in the present war. At the time the shelling of El Coco was taking place. Barillas had the peace proposition submitted by Ezcta, through Minister Misner and others, in his hands, and could not have been ignorant of what was passing on the frontier, as half an hour afterward he signed the peace treaty on the basis as laid down by Ezeta, and which fact he caused to be telegraphed to that functionary at once. The reasons given for Barillas signing the peace treaty are: First, he is a powerless man, as his country is practically bankrupt; second, he fears the downfall of his government, owing to interior revolutions, and, third, because he desires the cotton loan of 21.000,000 to be carried through in France. Nobody believes that if Barillas secures the loan , ho will long remain at peace with Salvador, but the latter country will lose no time, though peace be proclaimed to-day, in putting herself iu shane for a future war with her more power! ul neighbors. A Guatemaladispatchof yesterday's date, received here to-day by Senor Dieguez, cho Guatemalan minister, announces that President Barillas last night ratified the stipulations of peace with Salvador presented by tho diplomatic corps, which stipulations were approved beforehand by General Ezeta. The principal condition is that the de facto Salvadorian government binds itself to immediately convoke the legislative assembly which existed before July 22. This Assembly will decide on the presi dency or Ezeta. I his proves that Lzeta has accented Guatemalan intervention in 'Salvadorian aft airs. In this he did well. because this affair is not of local, but is of Central American, interest. This Assembly is not a constitutional.. but is an ordinary legislative, body, and as such can only de cide questions in compliance with the Constitution. Thus it will call Vice-president Ayala, who it is believed will be elected President, unless a new coup d'etat is atitempted, which would be a grave complication. Geronimo Pon. the Salvadorian agent jheref says ho has received no news of the '.signing of peace, and he does not believe it, jbut he has telegraphed for information. Correspondence from Agna Blanca. Guatemala, thirty miles from Jutiapa, upon the frontier, under date of Aug. 4, tells of a jfotir hours1 skirmish and battle of 1.800 Guatemalans with 2,000 Salvadorians, jwhich took placo there the day before. '.The former lost twenty-killed and fifteen wounded, and the Salvadorians are said to have had one hundred killed. Another reiport says: "Of the eight prisoners captured :at Fempisque five were shot as prisoners of war and of tho 112 prisoners captured at vr T l ex. l fi . l a. l : x upe ou iuiy i, uiioou were euut at uuuapa on Aug. 6, also as prisoners of war. This may seem to military men of other nations as a proceeding that reaches beyond tne bounds of military law, but it is simply no more than the Salvadorians are doing, as it is understood that all Guatemalan soldiers captured by them have been shot." EGYPT'S EX-KIIEDIVE, Little Ioubt that Ismail Pasha lias Been Poisoned by Turkey's Ruler. Pauir, Aug. 27. The latest advices from Constantinople concerning the rumored attempt to poison Ismail Pasha, the exKhedive of Egypt, state that it is probable but not certain that tho attempt was successful. The ex-Khedive allowed himself to be tempted to the city by an invitation from the Sultan, and once inside Constantinople all idea of bis ever being able to leave it had to be abandoned. Ismail was rarely if ever seen in public, and when any of his old friends called at the palatial residence which had been set apart for him they were informed that he no longer continued to receive visitors. Tho inferenco from this was that he was no longer master of his own movements, as otherwise this seclusion was inexplicable, and inquiries now confirm this, and show that Ismail was virtually under arrest. It is known that Ismail took with him to Constantinople bonds payable to bearer, consisting of stock, etc.. amounting to nearly $10,000,000. The ex-Khedive became in time addicted to the morphine habit, and as a consequence of bis excesses soon showed signs of mental derangement. He has evidently fallen into the bands of his enemies. There is, unfortunately, every reason to believe that the former ruler of Egypt has been removed in accordance with the old-time traditions of Turkish despotism.' . GENERAL, FOREIGN NEWS. Three-Quarters of a Russian City Destroyed by FireLoss, 3,000,000 Roubles. St. Petersburg, Aug. 2a Three-quarters of the town of Kineshma has been destroyed by fire. The damage is estimated at 3.000.000 roubles. In addition to tho loss of their homes, the people are suffering from a lack of food; and tho greatest distress prevails. Serious fires are also reported at Oreland Kursk. A naphtha vessel has been burned at her wharf at Batoum. The captain and two sailors lost their lives. Five Persons Dashed to Death. London, Aug. 2a A railway accident bearing a remarkable resemblance to the one recently reported from Beading, Pa., occurred to-day at Hohen, Ems, in tho the Austrian Tyrol. A carriage became detached from a train at the top of a steep grade, and ran back with great rapidity. At a certain point in the descent, where a curve occurs, the carriage was thrown from the track and dashed over a precipice. Five of the occupants were killed outright and a number of others were seriously injured. The exact cause of tho train's breaking apart has not yet been learned. Great Strike in Australia. Melbourne, Aug. 28. In consequence of the strike ot the gas-stokers tho supply of gas is failing and the streets are in partial darkness. Numerous assaults have been made on non-union men. At Newcastle the strikers became very disorderly, and it was feared that a serious riot would ensue. The arrival of a battery of artillery, however, had the efiect of quieting tho turbulent element, and the town is now reported to be comparatively quiet. The New Zealand railways have been compelled to curtail tho service, owing to a lack of fuel. Frenchmen Divided on the Tariff. London, Aug. 2a Tariff views in France are somowhat mixed just at present. While the newspaper La France urges a withdrawal of tho prohibition against American pork, so as to avoid an economic war with the United States, the equally prominent journal La Liberte, which usually expresses free-trade views, advocates "war tariff" against the United States in case the McKinley bill should pass. The most marked centers of bitter feeling against the United States are Paris and Lyons. Fatal Experiment by Seven Boys. London, Aug. 2a A number of boys were playing to-day on the field near Hemmer6tein, Prussia, formerly used for military maneuvers, when they found some cartridges and thrust them into a bonfire to hear them explode.

A motion to postpone indefinitely the consideration of the report was carried. General Payne's counsel tomorrow will apply to United States District Judge Phillips, at Kansas City, for a writ of mandamus to compel the encampment togive General Payne a trial. Gen. Payne was elected commander-in-chief in 1885, and re-elected in 18S0. While he was commander he became involved in a civil suit, and, having $1,000 in his possession belonging to tho order, he invested it in real estate, taking the title in his wife's namo to avoid attachments. When his successor was elected the funds of tho order were properly turned over, but, notwithstanding, charges were preferred against him and a court-martial was summoned to inquire into the charges. The court-martial developed nothing against him, but he was dropped from the order with permission to enter again. This meant a loss of all past honors. General Pay no joined the order again, and is a delegate to the present encampment. The Ladies' Aid Society this afternoon elected officers as follows: President, Mrs. Ella Jones, of Aitoona, Pa.; vice-president, Mrs. Hannah, of Bloomington, 111.; chief councilor, Mrs. Atwood, of Colorado. ESCAPED A CONFLAGRATION. , Principal Business Square of Martinsville Threatened by a Burning Bakery. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Martinsville, Ind., Aug. 29. A fire broko out in the rear of W. H. Webb'a bakery at 11 o'clock to-night, which threatened for a time to be the most disastrous ever known in this city, his place of business being located in the middle of an old block with frame warerooms in tho rear. The city is entirely without protection from lire, not having even a force pump of any sort, and it was thought the whole of the west side of the public square would be consumed. Men responded quickly and with only buckets had the fire under control at midnight. Men rushed into the adjacent stores without any kind of order, tearing goods from the shelves and doing much damage. The building belongs to M. W. Grogory and is fully insur-i. The loss on it will not exceed $1,000. Webb will probably be damaged $1,500. He is not insured. Other Fires. Oskaloosa, la., Aug. 28. During the races hero to-day fire broke out in the grand-stand, where 6,000 people were congregated. In less than twenty minutes the entire structure was in flames and shortly afterward was a total ruin. The loss is $15,000. The occupants of the stand escaped without injury. Philadelphia. Pa., Aug. 23. A barn used by Wni. Richter, in Koxborongh, was burned to-day. All the live stock except one horse, which perished, was got out safely. The loss is about $20,000. After the fire Mr. ITichter. who had worked hard to save his property,-dropped dead, presumably from heart disease. Tona wanda, Aug. 2S. The Lumber City has had eleven tires within the past twentyfour hours, all presumed to be of incendiary origin. The Lumber Association hasoftered a reward of $1,000 for the apprehension of the incendiary. DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN. Local Forecasts.

New York Correspondence Philadelphia Press. We bear some talk about the effect of the strike upon Mr. Depew as a presidential candidate Those who are thus concerned take more anxiety to themselves than Mr. Depew does. His friends know that when it was made manifest to him in Chicago, in 18S8, that a man holding such relations to a great railway corporation as he did could not expect to obtain a presidential nomination, he put such purpose aside, at least for the present. If Mr. Depew ever sets out upon the path of a presidential candidate it will be after he has severed his relations with a railway corporation, and probably long after. Merely Duped Again. Buffalo Commercial. The quiet, law-abiding conduct of tbe men wbo went out on strike ou the Central road during tho last two weeks is about the only phase of tho aflair that can be regarded by the public with satisfaction. Many of these meu heartily disproved of the strike but dared not disobey the orders of the oflicers of their union. The best thing they can do when this trouble is over is to select more discreet aud competent leaders. Will Hurt the Agriculturists. Gibson County Leader. The policy lately formulated by the Democratic loaders at Indianapolis and advocated by the Sentinel, to increase the valuation of propertv throughout the State, can hurt no one out the farmer and landowner, who have no means of biding their real estate from the assessor, and these classes should awake at once to the situation and protest against their proposed puliation.
