Mr. John Redmond, the Parnellite
leader, expressed himself as being confi

dissensions between Mr. John Dillon
and Mr. Timothy M. Healey as proof
that the anti-Parnellite party is break

Hayaen has for years been in direct
conflict with the bishop of Veath, whd
has published repeated pastorals de
nouncing him from the altar.
The bishop also forbade his flock, un

Ipted and Dismembered—Rivals
New York’s Crime.
Quitman, Ga,, July 10.—Jacob
Wooten and a party of friends were
out on Mule Creek fishing today, when
they noticed a barrel floating down
stream.
They managed to get it to the bank
and*broke in the head. A horrible,
overpowering stench came from it,
and when they Anally approached and
looked into the barrel a grewsonie
sight was revealed. <
A human form fearfully mu tula ted
and dismembered was packed into the
space. A hank of long, silken hair
sticking up, was pulled at, and the
head of a handsome woman was
brought forth.
The mud in the barrell had formed a
perfect death mask. The odor was so
sickening that the party had to give over
their investigation.
They hurried into town and notified
the officials. The news spread and
hundreds flocked to the scene. Further
investigation revealed an apparently
young woman who had been literally cut
into bits and crammed into the close
barrel, The crime had evidently been
committed sometime since, as decompo
sition had set in. There was a home
spun dress in the barrel.
The country is aflame with excitement,
and many wild and speculative rumors
are rife. The identity of, the woman is
not known.

ing her in a dying condition.
The negro fled and when the little
girl was found, a posse started in
pursuit of the fiend. They came near
enough once to Are on him, but with
out result. The negro is making his
way towards Pike county, with the
crowd in grim pursuit. If the demon
is caught, it is not a guess to say that
swift retribution will be meted out to
him,,.

ary, reducing the number of pension
agencies in the United States from 18
to nine, will be revoked by President

Pittsburg Market.
MINERS ARE CONFIDENT OF VICTORY
- A
It West Virginia Will Join the Fight—Re
ports From Varlots Towns and Cities I —l
In the Strike Region.
Pittsburg, July 10.—The decision of
the labor leaders at the conference in
this city to send organizers into West
Virginia and fnrnish funds to bring out
the miners in that state, practically
narrows down the strike to a fight be
tween the coal operators of West Vir
ginia and the labor unions of the coun
try. The cry of union miners will now
be with West Virginia in line the strike
will ultimately be successful No money
or effort will be spared, it is said, to ac
complish the suspension of every mine
in the state.
Special organizers will also be sent to
the mines of the New York and Cleve
land Coal company and every argument
used upon the men working under them
to join the movement. Many operators
in this district are anxious to get the
miners of the New York and Cleveland
Coal company out, and in several in
stances money has been offered to help
pay the wages of De Armit’s men if
they consent to strike.
Coal is a very scarce article in the
Pittsburg market, and it is impossible
to buy it in carload lots A representa
tive of an oil well drilling firm made
application for a carload and was told
by the operators that he could not get
it. He was advised to get a team of
horses and haul what he needs for pres
ent wants. The oil man said that if
fnel conld not be procured it meant a
suspension of field work in this section.
Operators are making an effort to pro
tect contracts for future delivery. The
expenditure to deliver on these con
tracts will entail a heavy loss and sev
eral million dollars will be forfeited.
A prominent operator said that all the
oil will be cleaned up by the end of the
week and higher prices will be thfe re
sult next.
At Allenport the 200 men employed
in Vesta mine met and decided to strike
for disirict prices, and work has been
suspended.
President Dolan, who is just back from
a two weeks’ tramp through fields, says:
“There 'was not a speck of coal in the
Yongh froin Whittset to Pittsburg. I
have been all over the territory and I
know what I am talking about.’’
Dan Hanna on the Strike.
Cleveland, July 10.—Mr. Dan Hanna
of the firm of M. A. Hanna & Co. de
clares that the West Virginia mines
will never quit work and that coal can
be secured trotn that source if the rail
roads are prepared to haul it. Colonel
Myron T. Herrick, receiver, was unpre
pared to say whether the Wheeling and
Lake Erie railroad would haul West
Virginia coal. He had received advices
from Dillonvale that his miners are still
out, with no immediate prospect of their
return.

Columbus, 0., July 10. W. O.
Pearce, secretary of the United Mine

more idea of stopping West Virginia
coal on trains enroute west than he has
of stopping cars in Columbus. The
miners are home in their garden patches,
very quiet and very much satisfied with
the suspension of work because they be
lieve the public to be with them.

RAIN DAMAGES CROP
Heavy Wind and Rain Storm
at Cave Spring.
Loss Is Very Great—A Very Serious
Accident to a Young
Boy.
Cave Spring, July 10.—Our section
was visited yesterday afternoon by a
fearful electrical storm, accompanied by
a perfect torrent of rain. The lowest es
timate placed on the rain fall, and which
is consider very.conservative is 5 inches.
The rain lasted about forty-five minutes.
Little Qedar creek rising over 6 feet in
thirty minutes.
The damage done to farmers and
crops cannot be estimated. The torrent
had no regard for ditches
creek banks for the time being were
over run,.Jand where yesterday at noon
corn prospects were estimated at 50 to
75. bushels, nothing remains but a drag
gled mass of vegetations. The farming
lands in this immediate sic'ion cannot be
brought back to the condition they ne.-e
in before this ram, in five years.
Serious Aecldent to Boy.
What uiight havp been a fatal ac
cident occurred to Little Felix Bow
man, son of Mr. H. M Bowman of Ce
dartown, last night. The little fellow
had been spending some time with
his brother Dr. E, M. Bowman of this
place. Some time during the night
he walked out of the window a dis
tance of eighteen feet from the ground.
Mr. Bowman was awakened by his
pitiful moanings. When discovered
it was found that he escaped with a
broken arm. Special providence, for
children evidently came to the rescue.

Constantinople, July 10. —The col

cessation of the obstruction of peace ne
gotiations, which was presented by the

terma It insists that the frontier be

unanimous determination of the powers
to secure a prompt conclusion of pbace.
As, however, the note does not fix a

it does not mention the steps it is pro

SCRAMBLE TO GET SEATS.
San Francisco Pavilions Too Small to A<j
commodate the Endeavorers.
San Francisco, July 10. All the
Christian Endeavorers now assembled
within the city’s walls are here for a
purpose and that purpose is not one of
recreation or pleasure. That all the as
sembled Endeavorers take a deep and
pensive interest in the proceedings of
the convention is manifested by the at
tendance at the daily sessions at the big
convention halls With them all is
enthusiasm.
• Never has San Francisco been called
upon to entertain such a throng of peo
ple as has been gathered together for
the ’97 congress. There have been re
vival meetings and religious gatherings,
all sorts of conventions and some pretty
big political gatherings in San Fran
cisco, but the Christian Endeavor con
vention is a revelation.
Profiting by the experience at the pre
vious sessions of the big convention
when they came too late to get within
hailing distance of the Mechanics’ and
Woodward’s pavilions, many Endeav
orers were up With tne coming of day,
determined to be among the fortunate
ones in securing seats. All roads seemed
to lead to the headquarters at Mechan
ic’s pavilion. By 8 o’clock they came
pouring in from the east, west, north
and south, on foot and in street cars,
until the broad entrances to the big
frame structures- were crowded with
humanity.
The weather was quite cool, just cool
enough to bring back- the color which
had been temporarily driven from the
cheeks of thousands of pretty young
women, with the hardships of a trans
continental journey.
At 9:30 o’clock all the 9,000 seats were
filled, while fever al * people formed a
fringe of humanity around the outer
edges and packed the aisles until tne
police and fire departments cried enough
and barred the (floors to further ar
rivals.
WEATHER SO WARM.'
Backbone of the Hot Wave I. at Last Be-
Sieved to Be Broken.
Washington, July 10.—The intense
heat of the past few days in the central
valleys, due in part to the stagnation of
the atmosphere, has been broken by the
forward movement of the trough of low
pressure from Kansas to the lake re
gions and by the advance of the high
pressure area from the north Pacific
coast to Colorado.
The fall in temperature of 30 degrees
in 34 hours has been reported from
Sioux City and Concordia. The area
indicating the fall in tempearture has
advanced to the sixth meridian and
covers the whole country from that me

McKinley to Take 300 Places
Ont ot Civil Service.
That Is the Way the Republican
Party Takes Care of Its Follow
ers—Argument on Subject.
Washington, July 10.—The president
and members of the civil service com
mission have had a number of confer
ences recently on the question of a re
vision of the civil service rules so as to
exempt certain important places which
were included in Mr. Cleveland’s last
extension order. A final determination,
however, has not been reached, but it is
altogether probable that about 300 places
will be taken out of the classified ser
vice.
These will include deputy collectors
of customs who are in charge of sub
stations, and deputy collectors of inter
nal revenue who have charge of the dis
tribution of revenue stamps. There are
approximately 150 of the places in each
class. It is not proposed, however to
exempt the places from examination.
Contrary to the usual course, tentative
appointments will be made as needed
and the appointee will then be ordered
before the civil service commission for
examination as to his fitness. In case
of failure to pass a satisfactory exami
nation, his name must be withdrawn
and another appointment made.
It is argued that positions which it is
proposed to restore to the excepted list
are of great importance, as the stations
of these officers are often far removed
from their chief, who alone is responsi
ble for their acts, should have some
voice in their selection. Bonds fur
nished to the government by collectors
of customs and collectors of internal
revenue cover all funds passing through
the hands of agents and deputies, and
it is contended that it is unjust to hold
'a collector responsible for the honesty
of a man of whom he knows nothifig.
It is possible that the president will
take action in the matter within the
next few days.
NEW MILLS FOR COLUMBIA.
Negro Labor Will Be Employed, Only
Foremen Being: White Men.
Columbians. 0., July 10. —The secre
tary of state has issued a commission
for the formation as another mill enter

"It is proposed to erect a cotton mill
within the limits of the city of;Colum
bia, of the full capacity of which this
capital will construct. The labor in the
mill is io be exclusively negro labor,
only the managers and foremen to be
white meh.
“This corporation is being formed on
the plan of the Ada mills in Charlotte,
N. C., the subscriptions to be paid in
small amounts, weekly, on the princi
ple of the Building and Loan associa
tion, and it is very likely that the op
eratives themselves will, as in the Char
lotte mills, become stockholders to a
considerable extent.
“Those who are interested in the
formation of the company hope to have
the entire capital stock subscribed by
Oct 1, when payments will commence,
and the mill will be constructed with
the company’s own means, so that it
will immediately become dividend bear
ing.”

vent the new company organized by the
syndicate from issuing any stock or
bonds, or in any way encumbering the
road with debt, and seeks to have a re
ceiver appointed to take charge of the
