MEN.WOMEN AND CHILDEEN TIGHT Three Yonn; Women Among the First to Fall Gashed by the Long, Keen Blades of the Arabs. CniCAOo, Fub. 20. A fued which has long existed between two rival factions of Syrians living in a tnnibled-dow-part of Pacific avenue, culminated last night in a desperate riot, in w hich re-volvers, knives and hatchets figured, and a number of persons were wounded. The women and children took a lively baud in the scrimmage Three young women were among the first, to fall, horribly gushed by keen blades. The other beligerents surged to and fro over the nrostrate bodies of the wounded girls, until the police came dashing up from different directions. The Arabs, iufuriated by the conflict, turned unanimously upon the officers, but were speedily subdued, and a do.en of those who were in the thickest of the fight were arrested. Besides the throe girls, four of tho men under arrest have ghastly stabs, and several of the com-batants who received cuts or broken heads are known to have escaped the ollicers. Notwithstanding the ferocity of the conflict, it is believed no fatali-ties will result, though the wounded participants will be disligured for life. PHENOMENAL SLEET STORM. It Extends from th. All.ghaalss t. th. Missouri Rlv.r. Chicago, Feb. 20. A phenomenal sleet storm plastered a great area t' country with ice last night from the Alleghanles to the Missouri river, north of the Mason and Dixon line. It be-gan about 6 p. ni., ami in half an hour the telegraph lines began to show signs of demoralization. By 0 the life had been temporarily choked off a largo portion of wires through a wide section of the middle states by the constantly thickening coat of ice. Thousands of words belated newspaper dispatches were piled up unsent in oiliees on tho edge of the affected district. Inquiry elicited the fact that in the various rail-road telegraph offices in Chicago tho dispatchers were completely in the dark as to the running of trains. At a late hour last night a rain was succeeding the sleet ami the telegraph people were beginning to recover some of the wires. PlTl'slU KU. Feb. 20.

Mr. Nick Treivcek returned yester-day from a trip oi inspection to bis numerous mining interests located at Park City. Of course the Alliance was the particular piece of property to which he directed his investigations. Good pngress is being made in tho Al-liance drain tunnel which is being pushed with all tho speed possible. The immense flow of water which was encountered some time ago in the Hammer tunnel carried with it a gnat amount of debris and slime which filled the tunnel for a dis-tance of 200 feet. This has been cleaned out for 100 feet, but fit that point it was found that the timbers were so badly crushed and that it would facilitr-.t- mat-ters and be much cheaper to run a parallel drift, and by so doing keep away from tho bad ground and avoid as much as possible an excessive fiow of water. The volume of water has been decreasing for some days and has partially subsided, but it is still stroug enough to be a disagreeable ele-ment. Th. Anchor a Wg Mine. Mr. Trcweek also went through a largo portion of the Anchor workings and describes the developments re-cently made as being of such a substan-tial character as to make the mine a big one and getting bigger every day. A new Rand air compressor has been put in place and started up, which will greatly facilitate the working of the mine and add to its production. At the present time the miue is shipping to tho concentrator about eighty tons of ore a day from wh'ch is derived forty tons of high grade uncentrates.

As the funeral train neared Pittsburg and road cross-ings became more numerous, group after group of people, were to be seen standing there unmindful of the rain, and only intent on honoring in their humble way the remains of the dead hero. Soon after they got on the train the graudchiidren were taken by Lieu-tenant Fitch, their father, into the ci m,iosiie car that they might see the casKut in which lay all that was mortal of their illustrious grandfather. Nearly all the people on the train arose and got ready lor breakfast as Pittsburg wes reached at ti:07.

Our St. Petersburg corraspondent sends us a enrious story of the operation of the customs laws in Russia. It ap-pears that the Brit in h and American Congregational church, to celebrate the) jubilee of its foundation, resolved on petting a new organ, and at the expense of i'500 obtained from London an in-strument which duly arrived at Cron-stad- t. But hero tho difficulties began. There were forty cases, and these hap-pened to come in two ship.s thirty-tw- o in one and eight in another. Church organs are practically unknown in Rus-sia, where church music is entirely vo-cal. The only instrument known corre-sponding to the organ is one which is found in every trakteer, or tea house, and is of tho nature of a musical box with a few pipes. The custom house officials claimed the duty on six orgaiiB, saying there were pipes enough for so many. After long negotiations the organ was ullowed to pass through under protest, and is now being erected under the supervision of the custom house authorities. Two offi-cials with swords are on duty at the door, and watch ""very one going out to see that he does not take an organ with him."Durlng diVine service the guards '"take an ccioii.il pw?p to see that every.

(Inly 3 a W. k. Bessie Bramble In Pltt-b'irtf- h Dispatch. There are plenty of women working in the stores and workrooms of Pitts-burg today for $3 a week. If the most of these did not live at home, it is not hard to see that their struggle for an existence would be arduous indeed. When such a condition of little more than half starvation is imposed upon workers in this country of 'smiling plenty and abundant prosperity," can it be wondered at that the long smolder-ing fires of justice begin to blaze, and that revolution is predicted'.' The royalty and nobility of France heeded uot the murmunn;; of poverty and disconteut. They laughed and danced and feasted on the brink of llin volcano. "After us tho deluge," said Louis XV. The deluge came in blood. The despotism of wealth is no le ss bard to bear iu this country than that royalty and .nobility founded on heri-dit- y and alleged blue blood. K. OF P. FUNERAL, Th.

The Great Salt Lake Navigation com-pany that promises to be a source of iulinite pleasure, and relaxation will its season in a short time and continue to operate for an indefinite period. In its equipment the company that has long had in view the profitable navigation of the great lake has provided for the tourist as well as freight traffic and the waters will be plowed by a fleet consisting ol two steamers and three sailing crafts. The former will be devoted to passenger traffic and the latter to freight., The fleet will ply between pmuviA up ft regular trips will b made from 'iaoj field beach to Lake Pt.rk touching ?Jit-elop- e island and Inter.ying points. The vessels will be c6nflned to the handling of freight, including ore and such other classes of freight as the route may af-ford. It is well known that on the western margins of tho lake large deposits of ore were disclosed years ago but the absence of any means of economic transport-ation made it imposible to handle it at a profit. The result was that it was permitted to remain in pUco and now that a lino of boats will tap it much of this will reach tho ore markets. On the other hand the steamers will pro-vide for the tourist who will find an ex-cursion one of the most pleasant fea-tures of a trip to ami around ion. Manager Ed. Smith who is directing the affairs of the company is overlooking nothing that the equipment of the line may be complete and for the accomo-dation of the tourists to Antelope mountain that rises from tho bosom of the lake has ordered plans of Carroll & Kerne, fur a commodious hotel.

Sew. Keffh 'Informs us that lie liaf shipped 130.383 pounds of walnuts from Anaheim this season. This aggregates seven carload. The price paid is about nine cents. This will bring $12,274 into the valley. Max Nelielon has shipped forty tons of walnuts. At the same price his ship-ments will bring in i?7,20(. The walnut crop of tho valley this season will amount to $20,000. Mr. Kroeger gathered 200 pounds of nuts from one tree. At nine cento this would be $23.40. If these trees are planted forty feet, apart, giving twenty-- 1 seven trees per acre, the income will lie $031 per ucre. There is money in wal-- 1 nuts. R. II.

"How is it that yon can afford to buy such a valuable stone as that?" asked one of his friends who knew his circum-- ; titan;es." i "I will pnt you on to the snap," said the joweler. "That stone has been grow- - ing for a year, and I think it has got its growth." "What do you mean by a diamond growing?" adred the friend. "I will tell you. You remember the little spark I had in my scarfpin Christ-mas. Well, this is what it has grown to in less than a year. That litrlo stone cost, me a dollar and tlx pin cost me $2.80. I sold the pin for $3, and bought au eight carat stono a little off shade for a trifle over $5. I bonght a stud setting. You know you can get those things quite low now. They are made up by the thousands by firms which do not take finished goods. Well, I put the stone in the setting on a spiral and sold it the Siimo week for $18. Then I went to the office ami bought the best stone 1 conld get for $15 and mounted that in the same manner. I wore it a month and then sold it for $30, and I put $25 into another stone. It was a little beauty, and I traded it for another one of about the same size, and got $5 to boot. That put the stone down to $20, and I put it into a setting which cost me $3, and sold it a few days later for $35. I got another stone for $30, and had it two months be-fore I made a turn with it; then I cleared $12 and put the money into a beautiful stone, which brought me up to $60, when I sold it in a handsome stud setting. "Then I got a chance to sell a ring for $75, and I made it to order, putting in a stone which cost me $45.50. I pat the whole $75 into another stone, which I carried aronnd for a while, and had fully made up my mind to keep, but a butcher offered me $100 for it aud I sold it to him. It was iu a crown setting, which cost me $6.25. For the hundred I got a dandy stone, and I was sure I could keep that one, but I have had four bettor ones since, and have got up to $180. I can't go much higher than that, I guess, for there are few men among my acquaintances who can afford to tempt mo with a profitable offer for it. I wouldn't soil it for $200, be-cause I know that I have got a bargain. I'm a pretty good judge of diamonds, and when I put that stone into a nice ring I will make it look like $250 worth, and I don't think that anybody can per-suade we to sell it for anything less. In all tho changes 1 don't think that I have put in more than $10 or $18 of my pocket money. Tho rest has all been profit on the stones and settings." New York -- Art.. Negotiating for Fr. Tobacco.

There are indications that the tide of emigration from certain countries of Europe will soon be turned toward Brazil. Rio Janeiro advices indicate special satisfaction on the part of the large number of Italians and Jews whe have settled in Brazil within the pasf two years, and of their welcome and good treat ment by tho authorities and the native citizens, As a result of this' mutual satisfaction the Brazilians ex-pect a vast increase of immigration from Italy during the coming year. The Jew-ish emigrants havo thus far been mostly Germans and Toles, bnt the plans of the rich Baron Hirsch for the colonization of people of his race flying from Russian evictions are understood t involve a scheme to transport half a million Jews from Russia to the South American continent. Brazil con-tinues its efforts to encourage immi-gration. It will very probably be tht country chosen for tho Russian refugees. In any case tho movement from Itidy tc Brazil is favored on both sides of the ocean. Worcester Gazette. w - Probitte t'onrt.
