A cablegbam received at New York from Berlin says: “It is announced that the German Government has definitely resolved to withdraw the embargo placed on American pork. It is added, however, that the official notice of this withdrawal will probably be delayed for some time in view of certain negotiations still going on between the German Government and the Government of the United States.” The report is confirmed by a later dispatch from London. The announcement caused a great deal of comment on the exchanges and among cattle shippers, and the latter were more active than they have been for some time. An inquiry at the State Department at Washington elicited the reply that no information could be furnished regarding the rumored action of Germany: in other words, that no official notification has been received. TRIED TO SHAVE THE BABY. Two New Jersey Children Nearly Murder Their Little Sister. Mrs. James McNerney, of Jerseyville, N. J., left her children, aged eight, seven, and two and a half, at home. When she returned she found the youngest lying on the floor, covered with blood, with a razor by her side. Her little face was one mass of cuts, and in the neck was a huge gash that came within a little of cutting the jugular vein. The other children were finally discovered in a closet fast asleep, their little hands covered with blood. They explained to their mother that they had been playing barber and tried to shave the baby, who could not keep still and was cut. They became frightened at the blood, and hid themselves. The baby will recover.

ELEVEN LIVES LOST. Only One Girl Survives Out of a Family ot Eight Ital'ans At Rochester, Pa., a row of frame tenement houses burned. In the midst of the fire an Italian girl leaped toward the ground, two of the firemen catching her before she struck the ground. Between her sobs she stated that all her father's family were in the burning house, but as the ames had now full control of the building it was impossible to save them, and seven persons perished in the Italian family. E. J. Keene and three members of his family also perished. A large amount of goid was found in the ruins—one dispatch says 8150,000. $1,700 in an Old Fiddin. Casbert Clement, of New Jersey, found 81,700 in greenbacks hi an old violin which he bought for 80 cents at a pawnbroker's sale in Philadelphia. Chance took him to Philadelphia, and while there he stumbled across a pawnbroker's sale. The old violin was knocked down to him. He took it home, thinking he had got a big prize. To his intense di gust he couldn't get any music out of it. It simply produced a squawky sound. He took it apart and "* found the roll of greenbacks within. G> hen Cffic rs Havi the Murder.ru At Goshen, Ind., one of the tramps charged with the murder of Alexander Snyder, has confessed. He says he knew Snyder's wife in New York and she told him the old man kept a large amount of money about the house. Acting upon this information he and his partner came West with the intention of getting hold of the cash. They awakened the old man aud, to quiet him, gave him a blow over the head, but did not intend to kill him. They failed to get the money and were returning East when arrested. Bound for Am-rica . There is no abatement in the tide of Irish immigration. During the last week six liners took from Dublin 1,420 persons, mostly of the farming class, but including a few mechanics, from Connaught and Munster. Fully two-thirds of the passage-money of these people was paid by their kinsmen in America. All the steamers of the Inman and White Star lines announced to sail have full lists of passengers. She Wants a Million. At Denver, Donna Madixxa. formerly the wife of the late William B Daniels,

has begun suit in the United States Circuit Court, to establish her claim to onehalf of his estate, which she claims is worth $2,000,000. She also asks that the divorce obtained from her by the deceased be set aside on the ground <jf fraud. Balmae da’s Downfall ( er'aU. Advices from Chili leave litt e doubt of Balmacedas approaching defeat. The whole country is aroused against the President by the outrages which his troops have perpetrated everywhere. The harvest is rotting in the fields owing to the laborers having been impressed or tempted away by bounties to the military service. St ail / w ik" tor a AV ■ k At Detroit, George Cunningham completed the sleep fast of 168 hours He was the only one of the contestants to complete the prescribed limit. Townsend, the old-time pedestrian, avoided sleep 150 hours and then collapsed. He exhibits strong symptoms of insanity. Pa’nfrrt Strik- for 31 >r“ Pay. At New York, a thousand journeymen painters went on strike for the purpose of enforcing the demand for an eight hour day at the rate of $3.50 per day. Hitherto the men have received $3 for eight hours’ work per day. Another Chilian Ship Jains the R bds. Reports from Chilli state that the officers and crew of the ironclad Pilcomayo have taken that vessel over to the insurgent fleet. The rebels now possess forty war ships.

evSsof the week. EASTERN OCCURRENCES. The coke strike at Morewood, Pa., culminated in two bloody riots, in which eleveq of the rioters were killed and fifty or more wounded: The strikers to the number of 300 gathered about midnight, and after spending some time in inflammatory talk started for the company’s stables at Morewood, reaching there about 3 o'clock. None of the rioters would heed the deputies’ entreaties, and at once made a rush for them. In selfdefense the deputies opened fire and killed eight and wounded twenty-one of the Hungarian strikers. At 9 o’clock another riot was precipitated, in which three more Huns were killed and about twenty-five wounded, some of whom will. It is thought, die. The Sheriff and two deputies arrived home on the Oo’clock train, having two of the rioters in custody, one of whom was wounded in the log. Both were lodged in jail. The names of the killed, so far as is known, are: James Broehle, shot through the breast; Paul Dohannisin, head; John Fudor, left eye; Valentine Zedel. neck; Anton Rist, head; Jacob Shucoskey, head; Creszo Binero, breast. All were Poles or Slavs except Binero, who was an Italian. Shucoskey is the only one known to have been married. None of them were naturalized. The names of the wounded are not obtained. Governor Pattison has ordered out two regiments—the Tenth, of Washington, and the Eighteenth, of Pittsburg— to assemble immediately and to proceed at once to the scene of the murderous riots in the coke regions. If the belligerent Huns show a disposition to resist lawful authority they will be shot down like dogs. At Somerset, Pa., Joseph and David Nicely were hanged for the murder of Herman Umberger, a rich farmer, two years ago. During the storm of wind the sea broke high upon the New Jersey coast. The three-masted schooner George L. Drake, from Mobile. Ala., and bound for Now York, went ashore on Sandy Hook. The crew were all rescued by the lifesaving corps. The schooner, which has a cargo of yellow pine, is well up on the beach, and as the sea has gone down there is no immediate danger of her going to pieces. Cora Roberts, an actress, was taken to Bellevue Hospital, in New York, suffering from insanity. When calmed she cried for cigarettes and confessed that she had been in the habit of smoking seven and eight packages'of them a day for years. At Bridgeport, Conn., Phineas T. Barnum is dangerously ill with the grip. Visitors are not allowed to see him. A workman, F. Budd, employed at the Erie Railway shops in Jersey City, has invented a locomotive which, it Is

expected, will make over eighty miles an hour. The driving-wheels make three revolutions to each stroke of the piston. At New York, a poorly clad man thirty-five years of age threw himself from the new Washington bridge to the ground, a distance of 147 feet. Almost all his txtnes were broken. The New York Grand Jury has returned an indictment against the officers and directors of the New York and New Haven Railway Company for a misdemeanor in permitting the use of car stoves on the trains of the company for purposes of heating them. The Indictment recites that on Feb. 20 while Charles P. Clark was the President company, and.p Trowbridge, W. r>. r? r* • Wheeler, H. C. Robinson, E. M. Reed. James Park, H. 8. Lee, William Rockefeller, and Leveret Brainard, were directors of the company, they ordered the use of stoves in the cars of the company against the law; that on that day in a collision between two trains of the company in the Fourth avenue tunnel the stoves communicated fire to the ^^o CHAUNCEY M. DEPEW. cars and caused the death of one or more persons who were passengers on the company’s cars. The indictment states j that the law distinctly forbids the use of stoves upon railway trains within the , boundaries of New York State, and that , the persons named above are therefore guilty of a misdemeanor. The announcement of the indictment did not cause much surprise, because the Coroner’s jury held the Directors responsible for the fatalities of tire collision of Feb. 20. The lowest penalty for the offense for which the officials are indicted is a SI fine and the highest SSOO fine and one year's imprisonment in the penitentiary.

WESTERN HAPPENINGS. The Kansas crop report shows a winter wheat acreage of 2,033,000 acres, an excess over last year of 527,000 acres. The general condition of the plant as compared with perfect condition is 98 12 per cent. The condition of rye, compared with the average, is 100 per cent. Live stock is reported to be in excellent condition. The season is two weeks later than a year ago, and plowing has been retarded. There is some fear that the Hessian fly, which appeared in disastrous numbers in forty-three counties last fall, may injure the wheat crop. Some, howt’wr, believe the wet and cold weather of this spring has killed the eggs. At Wapakoneta, Ohio, the west bank of the St. Mary’s reservoir is nearlywashed away, and houses for miles around are Hooded. A large gang of men are at work repairing the break. The Lake Erie and Western Railroad track is under water for some distance, and business at the oil wells is almost entirely suspended. The loss to property has already reached $250,000, Oxly a word is needed to cause a riot that will result in great damage and ios- at several Ohio points. The SidneyCity Council refused to allow the Natural Gas Company to increase its prices, and the company, without warning, turned off the supply. At the time there were 1,000 cases of grip and measles in the city and absolutely no fuel. All factories were compelled to shut down, no food could be prepared, a fierce storm

of snow and rain prevailed, and it • was impossible to heat the houses. Hundreds of the sick contracted colds, from which a number of deaths already have resulted and many more are inevitable. ’ A peremptory mandamus was served on It the officers of the company, who are I non-residents, directing that the gas bo turned on. The company ignored the -notice. Affairs reached such a desperate r strait that it was decided to blow up the r main pipe unless turned on immediately, and word to that effect was sent the ■ company. Blowing up the pipe would shut off the supply from Troy, Piqua, 1 Urbana, Springfield and Dayton, affect- . .ing 150,000 people. The situation is one -of the greatest gravity. ’ The Nebraska crop prospects are re- ( ported by the Board of Agriculture to be , superior to those of any year in the history of the State. In many localities in the State and also in the Dakotas, farmers are busy seeding. The quantity of moisture received in snowfall during the winter is believed to assure a heavy crop even in the portions of Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota most subject to drouth. Word has been received ot the death of Tonasket, chief of the Colville Indians. Tonasket had always been a warm friend of the whites. He possessed considerable property. The tug Tempest, went to the bottom of Lake Erie near the entrance to the Cleveland (Ohio) hartror. Ho"-'- v Loomis, engineer; fireman, and Harry Hershey, raftsman, were drowned. Captain John Murray and a raftsman escaped. The tug was towing a raft of logs, and as she turned to enter the river was caught in the trough of the sea and overturned. Waterloo (Iowa) officers went to Fayetteville, Ark., after the two confidence men arrested there for swindling W. F. Dowell out of 83,000. and found that they are the men who confidenced D. G. Ellis out of 83,500 in August last. They are also wanted for swindling a farmer named Blackburn in Callaway County, Missouri, out of 87,500. At Indianapolis.l. E. Meyer, employed as a clerk by the Pittsburg and Western Railway at Pittsburg, by representing himself as a son of Stoughton J. Fletcher, the banker, secured diamonds, watches, clothing, etc., aggregating several hundred dollars in value. He was arrested in the act of taking a train for St. Louis. Thomas Garfield, brother of the late President Garfield, is dying of acute rheumatism on his farm in Jamestown, Ottawa County, Mich. He is 68 years old. Ho toiled that his illustrious brother, who was several years younger, might go through college. The President, in return for the brother’s kindness to him, paid the mortgage on the farm. David E. Davis, of Leavenworth, Kan., smothered his wife, who was for-ty-six years his senior, in order to gain possession of her property. He was sentenced to one year in the penitentiary and to be hanged at the end of that time. The ease has been appealed. Around Sioux City, lowa, there is al- 1 most a total lack among farmers of feed for live stock, and cattle are suffering. ‘ There are reports of actual starvation in ; several localities. Hay is 815 to 820 per j ton. Some farmers have almost given 1 away their herds to save them from * starvation. SOUTHERN INCIDENIS^^M a I r call ill l t Montgomery on May 20 to start a mote- ( ment to raise 8100,000 for an exhibit at f the World's Fair. i Ernest Forbes, colored, who assault- 1 ed Miss Bertha B. Phipps, a white girl, i last November, was hanged at Annapolis, Md. Forbes' neck was broken, and ‘ he was pronounced dead in nine min- ‘ utes. Forbes made a short speech on the scaffold, in which he said he was sorry for his crime and that he was ready to die. The town presented a holiday appearance, and all in-coming ] trains brought in great crowds of conn- 1 try people. The scaffold was built in , the jailyard and in plain sight of the thousands of people who congregated in the adjacent squares. There is considerable commotion among the railroad lines in West Virginia, and there are indications that the Italians are avenging their countrymen by the destruction of property. Two attempts to wreck the fast express on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad were detected in time to prevent loss of life. A few minutes before the New York express passed a narrow cut near Grafton a track-walker discovered several heavy pieces of iron wedged tightly beI tween the rails. An hour later the Chi-

j cago express barely escaped a disastrous . wreck near the same point by a similar । obstruction. A large depot and store building on the Baltimore and Ohio at Constitution was blown up with dynamite, completely wrecking the buildings and causing a heavy loss. These crimes are charged to the Italians in the neighborhood whdre they happened. D. C. O’Malley, the New Orleans detective. surrendered before the Criminal

Court there. He was indicted for perjury, conspiracy to commit perjury and accessory before the fact in an attempt to bribe a juror. He was accompanied by Lionel Adams, his attorney, and James Barry, a prominent local politician. O’Malley was released on $3,000 bond, which was signed by Barry. After his release O’Malley walked the streets alone as if he had never been in danger from the fury of a mob. He declines to talk. THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. Washington, D. C., special: Baron Fava has presented to the State Department his recall by the Italian Government, and has demanded his passports. The department is greatly surprised, because it -was wholly unexpected and because the investigation into the New Orleans matter is not completed. The reason for the recall is “the King of Italy is dissatisfied with the progress of adjustment between the two countries in regard to the New Orleans massacre. ” This action can be construed in no other way than open hostility on the part of the Italian Government to the United States, with which it has heretofore been on friendly terms. INDUSTRIAL NOTES. In Philadelphia at a meeting of Clay AssemtA. Knights of Labor, composed of about 700 brickmakers, it was decided that the men would not go to work at the opening of the brickmaking season. The employers decided some time ago to , work under the schedule of 1889, which i would lower the wages about 10 per

; cent. The e»P lo y crs have refused to treat with arl^* ra ^' on committees representing the workmen. The strike will involve about 3,000 men. The Indfaiiapohs tinners, having refused to accept the agreement presented by the bosses, were locked out. About two hundred men were affected. FOREIGN gossip. The Leeds Millers’ Association has advanced the price of Hour Is 6d, making a total ad^'ancc of 5s fid during the' month of March. This advance in the price of flour is due to the price of English and foreign wheats. The massacre of native Indian soldiers by hostile tribesmen in the province of Assam, in India, is confirmed. The Viceroy is hurrying troops to the scene of the hostilities. The Paris Journal Des Debate declares that Italy has an undoubted right to demand that the United States shall make an effort to punish the men who lynched the Italians at New Orleans. It is understood that the San Francisco will sail at once for Chili and that the Charleston will be immediately dispatched to Honolulu, as Secretary Blaine is said not to be satisfied with the condition of affairs in the Sandwich Islands, and is anxious to have this country rep--re^gpfi^nu Hawaii AND NEWSY - bill imposing heavy penalties for the adulteration of cigarettes will be introduced in the Illinois House.

10 some Business on behalf of his Government. The Minister reports that the Chilian war has greatly damaged business interests in the neighboring states. The Northicestern Miller says: The mills got out about, tho same amount of Hour the last week as the week before. The aggregate output was 130,125 barrels daily—against 133,100 barrels the previous week, 137,450 barrels for the corresponding time in 1890, and 90,870 barrels in 1889. R. G. Dun & Co. s weekly review of trade says: The actual condition of business does not improve, however hopeful the anticipations warranted. The interests of property in many forms are for the time affected, and meanwhile the usual demand for money in April settlements has made markets rather close, though speedy relaxation is expected Nearly all the interior money markets are quiet and comparatively easy. Omaha and Cincinnati note a little closeness, and there is good demand at Chicago and Cleveland. 7he collections are quite generally slow and unsatisfactory, improvement hying noted hardly anywhere, but the state of roads is usually recognized as a prominent cause. The failures for the first quatter in 1891 have been 3.545 In number, against 3.223 last year, and tiie liabilities $42,167,631. against $37,852,968 in the United States, but more than the entire hicrease, bot-h in number and liabilities, appears in the Southern States alone. The Eastern and Middle States report fewer failures and smaller liabilities than last year, bvt the Western States report nearly asxnua- increase.

They suffered nJ hardship* during their enforced residence on Roucador Island. They had plenty of provisions and water, and as they were comfortably housed in tents their stay was more like a camping out picnic than the sufferings of castaways. The relief steamer reached them five days after the Aguan went ashore. Sensational reports of damages to the cruisers Chicago. Boston, and Atlanta are hardly warranted by the facts. The vessels grated on sand-bars while off the Florida, coast, with the result, according to divers, that some paint was scratched off the bottoms M hen the Boston grated on a sand-bar she was in charge of one of the most experienced pilots on the Florida coast. At Shiocton, Wis., several stores and ; residences were destroyed by fire. Loss, । 830,000. At Reading, Pa., Joseph L. Bailey's grist mill was burned. Loss, 86,010. The Colorado House unanimously passed the Senate bill appropriating 8100,000 for the purpose ol making an exhibit of Colorado’s resources at the World’s Fair.

ANGRY WITH UNCLE SAM ITALY’S GOVERNMENT SHOWS ITS GREAT DISPLEASURE. This Move Does Not, However, Mean that Hostilities Will Speedily Follow; but Available Naval Forces Are to Be Massed at the North Atlantic Stations— Indications that Baron Fava Is Not in lavorwlth I'remler BudinL The Government of Italy has committed an exceedingly unfriendly act. under certain conditions, the recall of an ambassador would be equivalent to a declaration of war. But in the present instance it definitely appears that the Kalian legation here is to be continued and left in control of a charge d’affaires. Ihat indicates that Italy Is not yet ready to sever diplomatic relations. The withdrawal of Baron Fava, so far as the official declaration goes, is to be Interpreted as meaning that “Italy is not satisfied with the progress of adjustments between the two countries touching the New Orleans massacre.” It may mean, also, that the Italian Government is not satisfied with the conduct of Baron Fava in general, as well as in this particular instance, and that advantage has been taken of the present situation to retire him from the post to which he has so long been accredited, and to replace him with an ambassador who holds closer relations to the new Cabinet to be forgotten that the Italian Minister has been at Washington a long time, and that his home political affiliations were in a great measure with a cabinet which has recently been displaced. But it is straining diplomatic etiquette to go through the minatory process of withdrawing an ambassador s passports in order to secure a change in any mission. That is not the modern diplomatic usage Whatever may have been the design of Italy, the

action of baron lava, under instructions from his government, was a surprise to the administration, as it will undoubtedly be to the civilized world. Italy has ventured upon dangerous ground upon an assumption. There is no official proof that any of tiie Italians who were killed in the New Orleans jail by the mob were subjects of the King of Italy. That claim is only made as to three. As to the rest, it has been shown that they were registered as citizens of Louisiana, and had voted. If they had registered falsely they had committed a crime against the suffrage of the United States as well as against the lives of some of its citizens. The question of citizenship is still under investigation. The State Department lias not concluded^its official inquiry, of which fact the government of Italy has been well advised, lot, pending this inquiry, and in the absence of official information, the government of Italy appears to have assumed that some of its subjects have been massacred, and that the government of the United States is accountable for It. Accordingly the government of Italy has done that which in like circumstances generally precedes a declaration of war. It has withdrawn its ambassador.

The information that Baron Fava had been recalled was at once communicated to the President by the Secretary of State. The President and Secretary Biaine have been in conference. The President directed the Secretary * .j vv, ... Vr, 1 h A slat ion nil sLlps U1 in Eastern waters 16 • I’aine Gulf <4 ^Q^ico and .

Useful Hints. For friezes, nets have often been used with gcod effect, draped in graceful folds along the top of a room or stretched directly upon the wall. They are used very largely for transom decorations or as valances over window’s or in alcoves. , A slight burn should be tied up im- j mediately in baking powder laid upon a ' wet cloth. This will usually prevent Inflammation. But if the wound does inflame and become sore, bathe it with equal parts of raw linseed oil and lime water. After the inflammation is out, heal with zinc salve, which can be procured from the druggist A very pale color in meat is a sign that tho animal was noor in blood, and that the meat is wanting in nutritive qualities; the cause of the bloodlessness > may even have been some serious dis- ; ease. A deep reddish purple color shows that the animal has not been killed, but that it died a natural death. A marblelike appearance, produced by layers of fat interposed between the fleshy fibers, is posjjssed by none but good meat A I^steful drapery for a square waste-paper basket consists of two festoons of plush or satin; peacock blue is a good Choice, alternating with two deep crocheted points of beige color or paleblue ’macrame cord in wheels, or any other pretty designs, and finished with heavy tassels of the cord. Rosettes and „ cords, both crotcheted, finish the top ” and sicles, and pompons of gathered plush may also be introduced if desired. Selected Miscellany. Chapin once said, beautifully: “The fatal fact about tho hypocrite is that he is a hypocrite. ” Training the hand and the eye to do work well leads individuals to form correct kabits in other respects. Impoliteness is derived from just two sources—indifference to the divine, and contempt for the human. Poverty is the only burden which f>ows heavier in proportion to the number of dear ones who have to help to bear it

STRIKERS FORM A MOB? COKE PLANTS IN PENNSYLVANIA DEMOLISHED. A Bomb Thrown Into a Non-Union Workman’s House—Armed Deputies Powerless—The Sheriff Asks Got. Pattison for Weapons, but the Request Is Refused. A Pittsburg dispatch says: The most eventful day in the coke strike was favorable to the men. The labor leaders say no preconcerted attack was made, but in view of the fact that three of the' principal works in the region were raided, and that in the morning the operators had decided to resume all plants, the talk of accidental raids does not govery far. At two o’clock in the morning the strains of a band woke all strikers on the road from Scottdale to Bradford, and in a short time 1,500 men followed the musicians’ path, which was directed to the Jimtown plant of the H. C. Frick Company^ This place was reached at 5 a m when the works were captuted without a struggle, except the incidental disarming of Superintendent Rosser, whose revolver was flourished in vain. A few workers were struck with stones, but th© body of strikers dispersed without serious damage. Some time later a terrific report in the direction of the Leisenring works gave a warning of trouble there and thousands grathered to witness the work of the first bomb exploded by the strikers. The shock was felt for several miles, but its only visible effect was the tearing of a» great hole In the front of a non-union worker s house and the throwing up of considerable dirt in the vicinity. It is feared that such work is not over with, h-a> ever, as the effect upon the unruly bm, thoroughly organized Hungarians was ominous. After this the workmen at Leisenring Nos. 2 and 3 were ahased out of the yards and a few only returned, when the excited crowd had departed.. The few men at the Leith works were also driven out, though nobody is reported badly injured Trouble is also talked of at the Trotter plant, but this is denied by the operators. The big Morewood plant of the Frick Company also contributed more than its quota to the exciting events of the day. This plant has been in partial operation, and has been carefully guarded by deputies. Some 3,000 strikers gathered about theplace, however, and swept the armed deputies aside as if they had been chaff. Not a blow was struck, not a shot fired, as such a move would have been fatal to both guardsand workers in the face of the 3,000 determined strikers. After the abandonment of the works by the guard an hour of wrecking followed. Tracks, doors, and in fact everything movable were torn and wrenched aside by the maddened crowd, >vho only left after the plant had been mutilated beyond immediate repair. The central board of the federation meets in Pittsburgh, when the strike will be brought up up for indorsement. At Union town Judge Ewing granted a. preliminary injunction against all men assembling at the Frick works not em-

o — - —~ CJUployed by that company. Sheriff McCormick, with a number of armed deputies, left Uniontown on a special train to arrest the leaders in the several raids.
