The bronzed Easterner, a Hercnles, in shape, claims to have found on elixir which will render the human skin Impervious to any metal point or sharpened edge of a- knife or dagger, and calls himself the "man with the Iron skin."

Peters, Since Murdered By Mongo Savngp-. Folk who know Uttle or nothing of the true condition of the Upper Congo are apt to doubt the existence of cannibalism. The following incident took place In the Jurisdiction of Major Lothalra's old station of Basankusu, and wUI tend to dispel such delusions. Mr. Peters of the Free State, since murdered in cold blood by the Mongo savages, was canoeing up the Loporl to oppose the Western Arab incursion, which slowly nut surely was creeping down tho head waters of that river and of the Bolum- bo.

The price of slaves bad been so depreciated by the Arab Influence, that two boys wero sold for the price of a goat, and a man for the price of a dog. Arab-hunted folk were seeking refuge In villages further removed from their devastating raids, and natives, taking advantage of the fears and distress of the refugees, had been tying them up as slaves. On reaching the mouth of the Bolambo. Mr. Peters made a discovery of brutal In.the night, when his boats were moored.

Mr. Peters and- his men heard the songs from some approaching canoes, slave laden, bringing home their spoil. Pnttln? out Into the river stealthllyand getting quite near the traders, he completely surprised the canoers. Six prisoners were taken, others, prang-inginto the river, wereshot. On taklngpos-sesslon of the candes, Mr.

Peters found in each human flesh lnabundance.thecooklng pots full ot legs, arms, hands, boiled and boiling, other pieces roasted and dry. As figure-head, one ot the doomed craft bore, hoisted on a stick, the Jawbones of one of the many killed. aruRDEREHS' MASCOT. Hl Boast Tlint litis Presencellss Pre-Trnteil Many Convictions. There Is a young man going about the country atunding famous- murder trials, and the lawyers have given him the nickname ot "Murderers" Mascot." He said that he had attended thirteen runrder trials In the last two years, and In no case was there a conviction.

He was at the first trial of the Hyarns twins for the murder of William CT Wells. This took place In Toronto. It looked blaclrforthetwins. butwhen their counsel sawthe "murderers mnseot'Mn the courtroom he felt confident of victory. "If yoa will remain right with- ns here." be- said, "we'll win the Jury, sure." He and thejnry disagreed.

He went back to Toronto to be present at trie second trial. New Yort Press. Tennllle's Great Clothing Bale Is today HEEDS OfJBpCT Cwnniissiiners' Report Will Aa-vocatB Many Reforms Io Laws. SOPN TO BE SUBMITTED The Grado Crossings Question Will Be the Subject of Vigorous Action. Extension of Streeta street Lighting Improvement Public.

Library Needed. "I havo known the Commissioners' report." said Mr. Ross, today, "to be finished, as late as Monday morning before Congress met- We haven't bad even one meeting yet to consider the report for this year. "Of course all the department reports combined with It are in and printed, and each of us is thinking over what we want, to put in. But the report Is one of the things that can be left, till the last, and there is always much else that Is pressing for immediate settlement." The report will probably contain recom-mendatiuns as to the extension ot streets, changes in the sewersystem, street lighting, municipal building, public library, harbor boat, and harbor Improvements.

The decision of the District supreme court that the purchase of property at tax sale relieves said property of tne lien ot all unpaid prior taxes upon It, Is still a bar to the collection of a large amount ot arrearages of taxes, and an encouragement to tax-payers to be dilatory In the payment of their taxes. In the hope that they may ultimately evade their payment under the aforesaid ruling. The Commissioners have sought to cover the defects of existing law on the subject by preparation and submission to the first session of the Fifty-third Congress ot a but In relation to taxes and tax sales, and now earnestly reiterate their recommendation ot Its earl snactment. GRADE OEOSBINaS. Ons subject to receive consideration Is the grade crossings ot the steam railroads.

Tho recent attack made by the roads upon the Commissioners In Joint equity suits only serves to arouse them to more vigorous action against what they have long considered one of the most serious wrongs suffered by the people. Their views were expressed strongly In the report ot last year. Their words then were as follows: "So far as known, no action was taken by any of the steam railroads In the District toward changing the elevation of Its tracks from that of the street or road crossing. "Notwithstanding precautions of fcaces. gates, watchmen or signals, accidents continue to occur, by which persons traveling on public highways are mangled to death by passing trains.

"The stoppage by trains of street traffla Is a matter of serious inconvenience and loss to the public. "The Commissioners recommend the enactment of a law compelling steam railway companies to change their track crossings from grade levels in Washington, within two and a half years and in the county within five years, upon plans subject to the approval of the Commissioners." But the last Congress tolled to do anything at all about the matter. Since the lost Commissioners' report the situation has grown worse, rather than better. Two rapid transit street car lines crossing steam road tracks have gone into operation, the city has grown in population and trafiic and the evidence of the Increased dangers has appeared in numerous ecrae of them fatal. The seriousness ot the situation has Iieea kept before the public by toe citizen' associations, by The Times and liy other agencies.

The Commissioners hove recognized the added dangers by making a iollce order requiring the roads to stop tlit'ir trains at crossings and to observe other rules, ror the safety of passers on the Street. These rules the managers of the roads claim are almost prohibitive ot trarflc Tie Commissioners have answered this already in their reirart of last year, quoted above. AN EXPENSIVE RELIEF. In spite of all precautions, they say accidents continue to occur that vould be impossible if crossings were mailtr almve or below grade. It Is coming to be cognized that like the placing underground of dec trio wires, this for the time an expensive but the only sure and reasonable relief to the dangerous conditions.

The Commissioners believe it is the only one th people will ever accept as satisfactory. Ther I wiU almost certainly press the matter upon tne attention or congress with greatly increased energy. The-prospect for the passage or the Icgls-latlon required Is considered much bettor than in the last session of Congress. There are hundreds of new members, and they have not been In reach of the Influences which railroads use so effectively to prevent action unfavorable to them. Many of these new men are desirous tomakerecords for themselves, and not a few sec thegrow-Ing Interest of the people in matters that touch their own safety and convenience in their relations with owners of aluable franchises given by the people.

AWAITING CONFIRMATION. The Senate to Decide tho Fate 400 Positmastern. The almost 400 Presidential postmasters will be presented to the Senate ror its action next month. So far there have been 240 recess appointments and all of these will bo sent to the Senate for confirmation. The terms of 130 postmasters expire during the month, and there are also gbt other vacancies caused by deaths of post-masters whose successors will have to be chosen.

The principal offices where post-mastership terms expire during December are Portland, Maine, on December 10, and Hartford, and East Providence, R. on December 17. Another big office, which soon will be thlcd, is Al-toona. Pa. In none ot these offices has any spirited contest so far developed, ami few papers are on file at the Post-office De partment in the cases.

Hartford is Senator Ha wlcy'shomeand he doubtless will namo the Incumbent. At East Providence the appointee probably will be Senator Aldrlch's candidate, while the Portland office may be filled by some of whum is a resident of that city. Post-office Department officials point out a remarkable Increase In the mi rt-illty among postmasters, disproportionate to the increase In the list. During tie- past year there were approximately hlrty-five among those of the Presidential class. This Is said to be larger than for any year in the past fifteen or twenty years rd Is attributed to generally prevailing ti laita-ful conditions.

A few days ago the deaths of the re'tmas-ters at Bowie, Texas, and Ail. Lee, wero announced slmul and lost Saturday the Bepcrti. es -titled of the dratts of PoMmasttr B. GUI, at Eustls. and Postman McDonald, at Altoona.
