A BISHOP ATTACHED.
Bt. Rev. Scannell Disobeyed the Or
der of the Court.
Omaha. Neb., Sept. I.—Judge F. R.
Scott of the district court has issued an
attachment for the person of Rt. Rev.
Richard Scannell, bishop of the Roman
Catholic diocese of Omaha, for contempt
of court.
The action grows out of the removal of
the priest of St. Paul’s church by the
bishop. Judge Scott bad granted an in
junction preventing the bishop from in
terfering with the conduct of the church,
pending a hearing in the court.
Judge Scott is a strong member of the
American Protective Association, and re
cently gained notoriety by causing the ar
rest of Editor Rosewater, of the Bee, on
the charge of contempt of court.
At 3 o'clock Bishop Scannell appeared in
court. He was not fully under arrest,
having been merely notified by a consta
ble to be present. The comtempt pro
ceedings were continued. Judge Scott
then ordered the bailiff to secure the
keys to the church and open the edifice
in order that service may be held
to-morrow. The bishop again refused to
surrender the keys, and the officer was
told to open the church if the doors bad
to be broken down. The bishop then
asked the chief of jwlice to send an officer
to prevent the forcible entrance. There
upon the judge declared he would have
the chief arrested if he did. The church
will be opened to-morrow. Bloodshed is
feared. ■ *
TO END THE STRIKE.
Goal Operators Oombine to Crush
Their Idle Operatives.
Massilon, 0., Sept. I.—The operators of
the Massilon district have determined to
end the strike in the mines of the district
at once, and on their own terms. This
morning a nitice was posted in the city
signed by the “Massilon Consolidated
Mining Company,” stating that 1.000
miners were wanted at once. According
to the notice 60 cents per ton will be paid
for all coal mined in feet veins over
1% inch screens, and 5 cents extra per
ton in thinner veins. Two hundred negro
miners from West Virginia will be
brought here to fill the places of
the strikers. It is the intention of
the operators who have pooled their
interests in the Consolidated company,
only to open one or two mines at first in
' the hope that the old employes will come
to their terms when they see that their
hopes of winning the strike are gone.
Relief money from the southern districts,
where the miners are at work, is not com
ing in as fast as was expected, nor in
sums sufficient to prevent a great deal of
suffering. With winter coming on and
want staring the miners in the face, the
operators believe that the strikers will
submit to their terms and return to work:

Interesting Notes of News at the Na

Washington, Sept. I.—The manage
ment of the Texas state fair to be held at
Dallas, commencing Oct. 20, and ending
Nov. 4, has extended through Col. W. G.
Sterrett, an invitation to Mr. Cleveland
to honor Texas with his presence on this
occasion.
Rear Admiral Walker, fresh from Hon
olulu. says that there appears to be no
change in the sentiment of the white peo
plt of Hawaii in favor of annexation to
the United States.
The Atlantic Coast Line claims that
their new route between Sumter, S. C.,

the shortest and quickest line from east
ern cities to Augusta, Macon and all
middle Georgia points.
Carroll D. Wright, superintendent of
the census and commissioner of labor,
and ex-official chairman of the labor com
mission, which conducted the strike in
vestigation at Chicago, has this to say in
regard to speculative forecasts of the
commission’s work in'Chicago.
“All prognostications as to what the
strike commissioii will recommend are
purely guess work. The commission has
not indicated in any way what it will do
as the result of the investigation. The in
quiry was conducted with great success,
in our estimation. All of the principal
parties involved, both on the side of labor
unions and on the part of the railroads
and the Pullman company,, came freely
before the commission at its invitation,
and gave every opportunity for the full
est and most searching inquiry into their
affairs.
“The commission will meet again in
Washington on Sept. 26, for the purpose
of taking supplemental testimony that
may be requirted byWther party, or that
the commission itself may deem neces
sary for its full deliberation. The com
mission will aim to make a report to the
President about the middle of November.
The testimony is very bulky and will
probably aggregate 2.000 octavo pages in
print. Everything has worked well, and
the commission has acted with perfect
unanimity in every respect.”

OOTTON EXCHANGE REPORT.
Secretary Hester’s Annual Review.
Statistics of the New Crop.
New Orleans, Sept. I.—Secretary Hes
ter’s annual New Orleans Cotton Ex
change report of the cotton crop of the
United States . was promulgated this
afternoon. It showed total receipts of
cotton at all United States ports for the
year of 5,940,092 bales, against 5,068,892
bales last year; overland, 931.701, against
912,146; southern consumption, taken di
rect from interior of cotton belt, 678.019,
against 699,827. making the cotton crop
of the United States for 1893-’94 amount
to 7,549,817 bales, against 6.700,365 last
year and 9,035,379 the year before.
The total consumption of southern mills
was 718,515 bales, but of this 40,496 bales
were taken from outports and included in
port receipts. This shows that the
southern mills have used up 25,383 bales
less during the past year than in 1892-’93.
Mr. Hester makes the actual cotton
crop of the state of Texas 2,059,060 bales,
or, say, 49,463 bales less than last year.
These, he states, constitute the actual
deliveries from Texas and inland terri
tory.
Mr. Hester’s full report, which will be
issued Monday, will contain some inter
esting references to the acreage question,
and also the result of his investigations
into the movement of the past five years,
showing actual deliveries from the cotton
states, divided into groups in such a
manner as to be almost equal in
value to an actual census. In
this connection he announces as a
result of his investigations, that the cen
sus figures which it was claimed were
several hundred thousand bales too small
for Texas and Indian Territory, and too
large to the same extent in the Atlantic
states, are proven to have been practically
correct.
FOURTH TEXAS DISTRICT.

democratic congressional convention of

late last night, leaving’ the field open.
David B- Culberson, son of the present

HAD KILLED FOURTEEN MEN.
Gory Record of Al Allison, a Cowboy
Recently Shot in Montana.
From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Al Allison, the cowboy who was shot
and killed at Glasgow, Mont., a few days
ago by George Grinnell, another range
rider, during a quarrel over a horse trade,
was one of the class of picturesque bad
men who, like the buffalo, are fast be
coming extinct. Allison’s right name was
A. Allison Tisdale, and he was the son of
a Texas clergyman, well educated, ac
complished and a member of the Masonic
order. He left Texas years ago as the
result of trouble over a woman, and lo
cated in Johnson county, Wyoming, the
scene of the bloody feuds between cattle
men and cattle “rustlers” two years
ago, in which fights he was prominent.
It is claimed that he was the first
man blackballed by the Cattle
men’s Association in that county for
mavericking, and was the main instigator
of the bitter war that broke out soon
after between the cowboys and stockmen.
During the rustlers’ war a brother of
Tisdale’s was killed by the stockmen, and
from that time dated Al’s career of out
lawry, and he took an open and bloody
hand in the war against the stockmen.
At the time when forty-six stockmen
were penned up on the notorious Bar A
ranch, surrounded by cowboys, Tisdale
was the leader against thepenned-upmen
and fought like a demon. After the United
States troops rescued the stockmen Tis
kale tied to Montana. A reward of $2,500
was offered to any man who would kill
him, and a party started out for the pur
pose of earning the reward, but they were
unable to catch him, although they
had several close engagements with him
in which several of the pursuers were
killed. He located at Glasgow under the
assumed name of Al Allison, and his iden
tity was not discovered until he had re
ceived his fatal wound last Tuesday
When he was told that he had to die he
disclosed his name and asked that his
people be notified. The only concern Al
lison had was about his horse, a magnif
icent animal, which its owner had named
White Man. Ho was afraid the horse
would fall into the hands of a new owner
who would abuse him. and he said that
thought worried him. There had existed
a touching affection between the horse
and Allison. The .latter loved White
Man as he did nothing else on earth, and
he had good cause, for it was the ani
mal's speed and endurance that carried
him safe from Wyoming into Montana.
White Mau fallowed his master about
like a dog, and was with him when he
was shot. When 'Tisdale fell the horse
was first by his side, and, seeming to re
cognize the condition of his master, he
rubbed his nose against the man’s face
and for some time kept the crowd away
from the prostrate body. Tisdale is
credited with having killed fourteen men,
including the victims of his gun in the
rustlers’ war.

give it up or go over the fence. He took
a bit of reyenge out of Roche for he gave

crowding. Then Dobnins continued on
his course and by crowding Roche so
hard that he was nearly driven over thd
fence ho won by a neck. He was sot

Farmers mourn the loss of crops and fear
further havoc by fire and starvation of
stock. Counties like Chautauqua and
Erie, which have dairy interests of great
magnitude, are the chief sufferers, but
unless rainfall comes speedily and copi

Death of Gen. Banks.
Waltham, Mass., Sept. I.—Gen. N. P.
Banks, who has been very low at his
home on Main sttegtJbeße .since Thursday
night, expired - at 8- tfclcwk: this morning.
Nathaniel P. Banks was born at Wal
tham, Mass., in 1816. He received a
common school education and worked in
a cotton factory to learn -the trade of a
machinist. At an early age he became a
lecturer. For awhile he was the editor
of a paper at Waltham. During his leis
ure he studied law. In 184 Vhe was
elected a member of the Massachusetts
legislature. He served In that body sev
eral terms; and was for two terms
the speaker of the House. In 1853 he was
a member of and the chairman of the state
constitutional convention. In 1853 he'was
elected to congress as a coalition demo
crat. During his term he with
drew from the Democratic party and
identified himself with the “Know
Nothing” party. He was re-elected to
congress as a member of that party. He
was nominated* for speaker.of the House,
and a contest lasting more than two
months followed. He was, however,
elected on the 133 d ballot. When the
Know Nothing party went out of exist
ence Nir. Banks became a member of its
legitimate successor, the Republican
party, and was by that party elected to
congress again. In 1857 he was elected
governor of Massachusetts. He served
two terms of one year each. In 1860 he
accepted the presidency of the Illinois
Central railroad. The next year he gave
up that position, went into the army
and was commissioned a major
general of volunteers and assigned to
command of the Fifth corps of the Army
of the Potomac. His first battle was that
of .Winchester, March 23, 1862. Through
Banks’ generalship Stonewall Jaekson
failed to capture the whole corps. Banks
also commanded at Cedar Mountain in
August with such success that again his
forces were not captured. After participat
ing in Siegel’s campaign in September, he
was placed in command of the forces at
Washington, and later, in December, was
assigned to command of the expedition
agaist New Orleans. On reaching New
Orleans he succeeded Ban But
ler in authority. Fiom April, 1863,
until the follbwing spring, Banks made
numerous demonstrations in the Red river
section without accomplishing anything
much except what Farragut helped him
do. Then Banks’ army, reinforced by
Gen. A. J. Smith J s force of 10,000 men.
were defeated by Gen. Richard Taylor’s
confederates at Sabine cross roads, and
the federals retreated to Alexandria. At
that point complications arose which
made Banks think it necessary to Con
tinue the retreat into Mississippi, which
he did with such good generalship that
again his forces were saved from capture.
This expedition, notwithstanding the
masterly retreats, was so unsatisfactory
to the authorities at Washington that
Banks was relieved of bis command and
left the army. He went back to Massa
chusetts, and immediately his old district
re-elected him to congress, where he was
kept until 1872. In that year he was
beaten. Later he was appointed United
States marshal for Massachusetts, which
office he held for years.
A DOUBLE MUBDEB.
Mysterious Killing of a Man and His
Wife in Vernon.
Vernon, Tex. Sept. I.—'Yesterday a
passer-by found the little son of O. G.
Klock, a farmer, living twelve miles
north of here, crying on the doorsteps.
The little boy informed the stranger that
his father had shot his mother and then
himself. Upon entering the house the
stranger found Mrs. Klock dead, with a
bullet through her heart, and Klock dy
ing with a bullet through his head. Aid
was summoned, but Klock died without
saying a word. He was a prosperous
farmer until recently, and it is supposed
financial troubles caused him to commit
the double tragedy.

THE PRESIDENT’S HEALTH.
There is still some talk here that Mr.
Cleveland is by no means well. After his
return from Buzzard’s Bay, DT. Bryant
of New York paid him two visits. There
seems to be no positive information as to
what ails him, but the common belief in
Washington is that he has some internal
trouble that requires constant treatment.
He continues to get more fleshy, and cer
tainly .to all outward appearances he is
not a sick man, but it is not the nature of
the President to be continually in the
hands of a physician unless there were
some specific need of such attendance.

arraigned this afternoon, pleaded not
guilty and his examination set for next
Friday.

PERRY DAVIS & SON, S ole Proprietors, PROVIDENCE, R. I.
CAPITAL IN A HAZE.
Meteorological Sharps Try to Give an
Explanation.
Washington, Sept. 2. —The peculiar haze
that has been noticeable in the sky all
over the country for the last week or so,
has been a matter of great interest to
meteorologists, and many experiments
have been going on in different observa
tories of the country to determine its
cause and nature. The weather bureau
officials, whose reports from the weather
conditions are daily read throughout the
United States, have been making obser
vations of this phenomenon, and the opin
ions of two professors of meteorology
’ were given to a reporter of the United
Press.
Prof. Henry A. Hazen said: “This is
what may be called the Indiam summer
dry haze. Just what is the cause of it, is
a little difficult to determime. Similar
conditions have been noticed in the past,
notably on the “dark days” in 1871, which
was due to a dense condition of the atmos
xphere, probably caused by smoke. Iri
1881 there was another “dark day,”
known as a “yellow day,” which extended
from New England to Virginia on the
Atlantic coast. In 1871 the smoke was so
dense that many thought the “day of
judgment” had come. In 1881 the gas
was lighted in the streets of Boston at
midday. While it was not so dark here
in Washington, still the haze was very
dense. The murky atmosphere that has
been noted west of the Mississippi river
is of a very different character from that
to the eastward, as that is much lighter.
It is probably caused every year
by a settlement of dust or smoke
particles. The air is generally
quiet, and there are no conditions which
would precipitate the particles causing
haze or carry them to other regions. The
conditions east of the Mississippi river are
unquestionably due to forest fires, just as in
1871 and 1881. The fires this year, however,
have been much more serious than com
mon, owing to the drought that has ex
isted. The atmosphere has been very
dry, and extends to enormous bights.
This smoke is not dense in any one place,
but when you get a glimpse through a
great thickness, it appears quite so.”
Prof. Cleveland Abbe of the weather
bureau, who has made a special research
into this smoke phenomenon, said: “I be
gun to-day a collection of all the data the
weather bureau has relative to the speed
of the haze which now covers the greater
part of the United States. Early in July
I began to receive reports of forest fires
and large areas of smoke in Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. Since
then reports have come from lower Michi
gan, New York and Pennsylvania. There
is every reason to believe that all of the
smoky haze which now covers thecountry
is the result of the diffusion of the smoke
of burning forest fires And crops. A com
paratively little fire will make a large
quantity of smoke, unless it is widely
diffused by strong winds, in which case
the smoke becomes like the thin haze of
the Indian summer. But it so happens
in this present season the United States
has experienced rather high temperature
and light variable winds, so that the
smoky haze has not been carried away
to a great distance. It has, therefore, at
the present time an average density
greater than usual. It will doubtless all
be cleared away by the action of the first
general storm that sweeps over the
country.
“This smoke from forest and prairie
fires is diffused perceptibly to greater dis
tances than many people would imagine
possible. ”
VERMONT HAS IT, TOO.
Bellows Falls, Vt., Sept. 2.—The curious
condition of the atmosphere in this vi
cinity caused much speculation regarding
the cause. Some consider it similar to
the “dark day” of 1883. Although the
sun shone all day, it has not cast any
shadow. It has been so dark that lights
were necessary in many churches and
dwellings. The sun was very red and
looked like a ball of fire all day. Reports
from Rutland, Windsor and many other
places in the vicinity state the same con
ditions existed there. It may have been
caused by smoke from the forest fires,
but it seemed too yellow for that. It has
caused an uncanny feeling, and in some
instances real fear and excitement.
DARK ALL OVER NEW ENGLAND.
Boston, Sept. 2.—A peculiar atmospheri
cal phenomenon has to day attracted the
attention of Bostonians. During the latter
part of the morning and all the afternoon,
the sun, unobscured by clouds, has feebly
shown through a stratum of smoke sup
posed to come from the forest fires now
raging in the lake region.
The effect has been a wiprd, unhealthy
tinge to the atmosphere, made oppressive
by the general absence of stirring air.
The day has been a repetition, although
in a lesser way, of the famous “yellow
Tuesday” of 1881. Reports of a similar
phenomenon have been received-from cities
and towns all over New England.
DEATH AT A PLAY.
Amateurs Inflict Fatal Wounds Dur
ing a Performance.
gedalia, Mo., Sept. 2.—At Lee’s Sum
mit last night an amateur theatrical com-’
pany, composed of young society people,
was presenting the play, “The Postal
Clerk,” at the opera house. In the play
it becomes necessary to use a pistol. In
the dressing room of William Gibbs were
two pistols, one loaded with blank cart
tridges and the other with bullets. Dur
ing the act Gibbs fired at J. P. Lather
man, an operator for the Missouri Pacific
railway, who was playing an important
part. The audience was horrified to see
Latherman fall to the floor with a stream
of blood spurting from a ghastly wound
oyer his left eye. He cannot recover.
Gibbs is almost crazed with grief, as the
men were warm personal friends.

WATCHED BY WARSHIPS.
Nassau, N. P., Sept, 2.—The steam
yacht Puzzle of New York was watched
while at Fortune island by three Haytian
war vessls, who gave her a great deal of
trouble, and who waited to capture her
on her leaving that British port. The ad
miral demanded of the resident authori
ties that they should search the vessel,
believing that she had on board arms and
ammunition destined for Hay tian insur
gents. A search revealed nothing sus
picious. The Puzzle slipped away on the
night of the 27th, and was chased by the
Haytian vessels toward Nassau, within
thirty miles, but she eluded pursuit and
arrived here Aug. 28.
! .< POTTERS WILL STRIKE.
Operatives Decline to Accept a Fur
ther Reduction.
Trenton, N. J., Sept. 2. —The operative
potters of this city have voted not to ac
cept any further cut in their wages. This
decision was reached on account of the
evident present intention of manufactur
ers to ask the men to submit to another
reduction on account of Senator Smith’s
failure to get the crockery schedule in the
new tariff bill raised after the manufac
turers and workmen signed the recent
agreement on a basis of a 12X per cent,
cut. The men are working, but the man
ufacturers have held informal conferen
ces with them, indicating that a further '
cut is necessary. The manufacturer's
have made no definite proposal, but it is
likely that they will, do so. This will
probably result in a renewal of the strike.
Some of the manufacturers think
there should be a further cut of 17X per
cent., but others will not ask more than
7X per cent.
TROUBLES INSICILY.
Hatred of Peasants for Landlords

landlord and tenants, and also to improve
the condition of the sulphur miners on
the island.
