While nearly every housewife has a fear of tomatoes and other acid fruits put up In tin, these goods are purchased, because there has been nothing better in the market.

Correctly speaking, the economic strike is at an end, and this is a revolution. It has taken the form of a huge political movement, evidently directed from Warsaw, and (10,- 0(H) persons are lighting tlie government. More than 100 persons have been killed and 400 wounded. The leaders of the several mobs built barricades in the main streets. These were stormed by the soldiers, who were shot down from the roofs and stoned from the windows of the many houses on the side streets. New York, June 24.—Definite statements were made by persons in a position to know the facts that Paul Morton, chairman of the Equitable Life Assurance society, with the full knowledge and approval of the new owner of the society, Thomas F. Hyan, would in his own investigation of affairs delve deeper than either the Frick committee or State Superintendent of Insurance Ilendrlcks.

He Bald that the sentiments with which they regarded the American ambassador were different from those meted out to the representative of any other power. The American ambassador represented not an alien power, but a power of whose greatness Great Britnin was proud and whose progress Great Britain had watched with interest.

Adam Novak, an Italian residing along the tow path, was arrested at a late hour last night by the city police on the charge of fighting. With several other countrymen he was in a house on North Main street near the Ravine crossing. The Italians In the house had been in a law suit at the office of Aidorman Beynon and in talking it over they became so noisy that it was found necessary for a neighbor to send for the police. Novak and a few others were taken into custody. Novak is still in Jail. Candidates in ltace Ranking Commissioner McAfee appointed five additional bank examiners, as provided by the last legislature. The department has been very much hampered in its examining work by reason of a short force and for several years has been asking for an increase. The new members are E. B. Lewis, Blairsvllle; H. A. Oroman, Bethlehem; John C. McClaln, Lancaster; Oscar O. Klopp, Lebanon, and Albert Wagner, Ellaabeth. Next Thursday evening at 8 o'clock select ami common councils of this city will meet in joint convention for the purpose of electing a city assessor to 1111 the unexpired term of tho late Patrick M. lJoran. The man elected will serve until next April, when Mr. Doran's term would have expired. Election by the people to till the olllce will take place next February. in spite of the short period of the term there is i.o shortage of candidates, no fewer than live citizens having approached the councilin.cn with regard to their candidacies. As many more looked over the ground, when it was known that an election would be held but decided that the present time is inauspicious for them to launch their political balloons. The candidates who are positively In the race are M. J. Berry, common councilman from the Ninth ward, Edward Kemmy, Michael Price, M. J. Doran, and Patrick Madden. Mr. Doran is a brother of the late assessor. Issued mi Older This Morning to the What appears to bo good and sufficient reasons for tho assortlon that more remains to be disclosed is indicated by the fact that District Attorney Jerome appeared before Recorder Goff and jnade the unusual request to have the June term of the criminal branch of the supremo court extended over the summer months. Another request was predicated upon the statement that it might be necessary to take action toward criminal prosecutions with the Equitable. In the southerly end of tbe city mobs wrecked the liquor stores, destroyed tbe street lamps, exploited the gas works and stopped the street cars by calling out the railroad employees. Several policemen were killed In an attempt to drive a mob from the "front of the governor's palace. General Contractor to Proceed With tlie Work of Pine- lug the Steel III Po- sition Every Clny brings some now development In the court house muddle. Yesterday, it will be recalled, a Philadelphia expert who had been employed by the county commissioners to make an examination of the steel work that had been provided for the new court house, presented his report, which In brief, was to the effect that the steel was not up to the required strength. The commissioners took 110 direct action on this report, so far as the public is aware, but this morning issued a significant letter to Contractor W. J. Smith, which reads as follows: President Roosevelt's Peaoe Efforts. Governor I'ennypacker, after conferring with Senator Stewart, of Franklin county, appointed Former Judge D. Watson Rowe to be president judge of Franklin county, to succeed Judge Stewart, now in tho Supreme Court. Judge Rowe will not be a candidate for the nomination and there is promise of a lively contest for the Republican nomination. Former Senator W. U. Brewer, of Chambersburg, on his arrival In England yesterday, cabled Senator Stewart that he will accept the nomination for judge if tendered him and give up the European consulate to which he has been appointed. But to get the nomination, in the opinion of politicians, the aspirant must bo on the ground. The Democrats will nominate W, Rush Glllan. Whitelaw Iteid's predecessors, said Mr. Balfour, bad indicated that it was the wish of America to be little entangled In the politics of the old world, but he doubted whether that doctrine in Its extreme purity would be much longer maintained, as it was not reasonable to think that some great planet could be suddenly introduced Into the solar system and remain there without huvlng an effect on the other planets with which it associated. When the men were arrested it was reported that they had been connected with the killing of Philip Novak, whose body was found along the Lehigh Valley railroad tracks some days ago. The man now being held was a brother of Novak and the latter boarded wltii him. It was rumored that the men had made some admissions during the discussion that caused the arrest. The situation is alurming, and troops have been called for from several cities in Poland. It is known that arms have been smuggled Into the city for the last two weeks, and it is feared that artillery will have to be brought Into use to sulRlue the rioters, who number from 10,000 to 12,000. More than C30,- 000 persons are on strike. Hyde Requests Suit. Through his counsel, Samuel Unterinyer, James II. Ilyde offered to accept service of papers and expedite the trial of a suit to be brought by Attorney General Mayer to determine the right of those who profited by syndicate transactions with Equitable funds to the ownership of those profits. Chief of Police Loftus said this morning that (he arrest of Novak had not the slightest connection with tho death of his brother and that the only charge against him was one of lighting. Ho is being held for a further hearing. This, the premier said, was seen in President ltoosevelt's efforts toward peace. In this groat crisis tbe United States had the great udvantage of not having been so far entangled in any of the complicated relations which embarrass the western powers, but President Boosevelt had taken the right time and used exactly the right means of Initiating negotiations which every man in Great Britain and every man in the civilized world desired should end in the termination of the war. Warsaw, June 24. — Fierce street lighting has occurred here. The news from Lodz that the soldiers had stormed tbe barricades caused several street meetings, which the police attempted to disperse. A bomb wus thrown from the roof of a house which killed three policemen, and the trojps were called out. The soldiers begau firing at once on the men and women. The llrlng was returned not only from the streets, but from the houses. Many of the soldiers declined to shoot the workmen, and the situation Is exceedingly serious. An uprising is expected in ail the manufacturing cities of Poland. The leaders of the labor movement have ordered all the manufactories and shops to close, have called out all the bakers and have begun a strike at the gas and electric light works. Barricades are being erected in several of the streets, and further rioting is looked for at any moment. Troops Called Out at Warsaw. From the present outlook it appears that Mr. Berry has the lead of all hto competitors. He has the advantage of being a councilman at present, which gains for him the support of many of his colleagues. Mr. Kemmy seems to be his closest competitor. He comes from the Eleventh ward and has been active In the light since it was known that there would be an election. It seems a generally acknowledged fact that tho tight is between Mr. Berry and Mr. Kemmy. with the advantage in favor of the former. It will require 17 votes to elect, not a majority of both councils, but a majority of the councilmen. It would be possible for a man to be elected If every member of select council voted against him. "You are hereby directed to proceed at once to place the structure and other steel work required by your contract with the county of I.u - nerne In the construction of the new court house, and you are also directed to proceed at once with tho full force of hands and material to complete said court house in accordance with your contract with said county." Mr. Untermyer In a letter to the attorney general recites that on March 22 last Mr. Hyde deposited with the cashier of the Equitable his check for $63,- 233.M, his share of syndicate prolits, and that Mr. Hyde had been advised before that date and has been advised since thai he is morally and legally entitled to this money.

As he was walking down to the Fort Lee Cerry the matches became ignited and in a moment a premature celebration was going on in his pocket.
