fne sti.ck market was exceeding dull to
'ales being only 176,000 shares. In
till e * r - ‘‘ehlings speculation was strong, and
•acre w a* a good demand for low-priced shares
Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific, and Kansas
and Texas were the special feature, selling up
1% per cent. Texas Pacific rose %, Oregon
transcontinental %, Union Pacific 1%, and
Missouri Pacific 1 % per cent. The advance
in the remainder of the list ranged from % to
1 per cent. Speculation continued strong
till after the second call, when a weaker feel
ing set in, and there was a marked fall in the
go off in the volume of business. Prices de
j dined 2 per cent, for Missouri Pacific, I% for
Kansas and Texas, 1% for Union Pacific, 1
1 for Lackawanna, 1 for Lake Shore, 1 for New
York Central, and per cent, for other
active shares. At the close a recovery of
% per cent, ensued, and the market left off
firm. The outstanding short interest is large,
and a number of active shares commanded a
premium for use. Compared with last night's
closing, prices are %®l% per cent, higher,
except for Northern Pacific, Erie, and Mis-
I soun Pacific, which are fractionally lower.

Waters, a son of Capt. M. U. Waters, a
well-known citizen, shot and killed his
father yesterday. The youug man was
just starting on a hunting excursion

quarrel ensued, whereupon the parent en
tered his house, returned with a pistol
and fired at his son, who returned the fire
with fatal effect.” *

THREE WOMEN OF NOTE.
SUFFRAGIST READERS AT OUTS
ABOUT BLAINE.
Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady
Stanton Declare In His Favor While
Belva B. Lockwood Backs the Saintly
St. Johu—YYhat the Ladies Said Upon
Being Interviewed.
Corretpondence oj the Morning Mewe.
Washington, Aug. 15.—There Is w*r
among the women suffragists, and all on
account of “a man.” Mrs. Belva Lockwood,
Washington’s female lawyer, has rebelled
against the political leadership of Susan B.
Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. “I
have just written,” she said to your cor
respondent, “to the editors of all the lead
ing women suffrage papers in the country
saying to them that I think it about time
that, as advocates of the rights of our
sex, we use our efforts in behalf of men
and parties who will support our cause.
Mies Anthony and Mrs. Stanton have
come out for Blaine and the Republican
ticket. Of course that is their privilege
if they see fit. 1 have always been a Re
publican, but I cannot see any advantage
in standing by the party that does not
stand by us. The Republicans have done
practically nothing for us. Of course the
Democrats have done less, if that is pos
sible, but as there is a woman suffrage and
temperance candidate, it seems to me that
we ought to support him. I have, there
fore, written to the editors of our leading
papers urging them to support the tem
perance nominee, Mr. St. John,”
ELIZABETH CADY STANTON.
She was sitting in her lawyer’s office on
F street, surrounded by a corps of female
clerks, as she said this. Before her was
a desk strewn with papers, presenting as
business-like an appearance as any law
yer’s office in Washington. Just opposite
her desk sat a pretty lady with short curl
ing hair, and at the"table at her right an
other, who seemed quite as well posted in
regard to the “cause” of which Mrs. Lock
wood spoke so enthusiastically as did that
lady herself. “1 cannot see any proprie
ty,” she continued, “in our clinging to the
skirts of the Republican party any longer.
It has done nothing for us. Last winter
I saw its leading men in the Senate delib
erately vote to disfranchise the women of
Utah—to take from them the right of suf
frage, which .They now have. Some of them
did so after living solemnly promised to
vote for sufi.ubte whenever an opportunity
presented itself. More than that. 1 at
tended the Republican Convention at Chi
cago and drew the resolution regarding
the right of women to vote, which was
introduced there. I saw it introduced
and received with nothing but derision.”
“What do you supporters of the cause
of universal suffrage expect from the com
ing session of Congress,Mrs. Lockwood?”
“I don’t know that we have right to
expect anything,” she said with a smile.
“We can expect nothing, 1 suppose, from
the House, which showed itself last win
ter so strongly opposed to our cause.
What the next House will do of course no
one can tell at present. We are steadily
gaining ground. We have now, 1 con
tend, the right to hold office. While the
constitution does not, permit us to vote,
there is nothing which would prevent a
woman from holding any office. As to the
coming session of Congress and what it Is
likely to do for us, I can only answer that
while we do not expect anything we may
be happily disappointed. For instance,”
and she took up a bundle of papers before
her, “here is something to show how hap
pily we were disappointed in last session.
When 1 say we, I speak professionally as
an attorney. Out of the thirty or forty
bills introduced for the alleged benefit of
pensioners and claimants, and for the
purpose, as it was claimed, cf protecting
them from attorneys and claim agents in
Washington, the only one that became a
law helped the attorneys. It put $15,000
in my pocket,” she added. “It increased
the sum which pension applicants may
allow their attorneys from $lO to $25. I
had one thousand of those cases on my
books at that time, and as it added sls to
each case, it was worth $15,000 to me in
mv business.”
SUSAN B. ANTHONY.
“You are successful as a lawyer, then,
Mrs. Lockwood?”
“Oh, yes! I liaY’e a pretty good corps
of assistants and am busy constantly. I
was just going out Yvith this bundle of
papers to the court on my tricycle as you
came in. Y’es; I have all I can do, in
lact, and should be glad to see many more
women enter the profession.”
“How many women are lawyers in the
country, do you think, Mrs. Lockwood?”
“I should say about forty,” she replied
thoughtfully. “There are ’ three or four
herein Washington. One (Miss Emma
Gillette), who recently entered the pro
fession here, is. already constantly em
ployed and doing well. There aro quite a
number in Massachusetts, two or three
successful ones in New York, several in
Illinois, Michigan, and others in the West
ern States, and others still further West.
There are not many in the South. They
are scattered all over the North, however,
and most of those who get fairly started
in the work do well. Another lady, who
has just entered upon a line of public du
ties, which she will undoubtedly perform
well, is Miss Fhcebe Couzins, of St. Louis,
who has been appointed a Deputy Mar
shal. I cannot see any reason why a
woman can’t perform the duties of that
position very well. There are several
women now holding positions of that sort
and giving satisfaction in every case.”
“And as to the Presidential fight?”
“I am for St. John and universal suf
frage,” she replied.
BELVA A. LOCKWOOD.
Mrs. Lockwood’s “bolt” from the lead
ership of Mrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony
will probably create something of a stir
among women suffragists. Their cause
has been and is so closely identified with
that oi temperance, and the sentiments of
Gov. St. John are so strongly with those
of the suffragists, that about four-fifths of
them will support the Prohibition candi-
date. It is thought that Miss Anthony
and Mrs. Stsuton will find many who, like
Mrs. Lockwood, will rebel against their
advice to support the Republican ticket.
Miss Anthony’s face, which is given
herewith, is quite a familiar one in Wash
ington. Considering New England her
home, as she does, she finds time and 00-
portunitv to visit Washington verv often.
This is especially true during the time
Congress is in session, for she always
spends a portion of each winter here,
staying at the Riggs House, the wife of
whose proprietor is an ardent advocate of
the cause.
Mrs. Stanton, whose face is also pre
sented, is not sog>ften seen in Washing
ton. She has been here very seldom of
late years, and only for brief periods. She
has many earnest admirers, however.
Her portrait adorns the business office of
one of the leading papers here and is also
to be found in the homes of many of na
tional prominence.
ALBANY ITEMS.
A Terrible Accident—Society Matters—
New Buildings, Etc.
Correspondence of the Morning A’eics.
Albany, Ga., Aug. 15.—A shocking
accident occurred here yesterday. As
the afternoon train from Macon, on the
Southwestern Railroad, reached Society
street, the next crossing to the depot, Mr.
W. D.Mann sprang from the car platform,
and, his coat catching on the knob of the
railing, he was thrown under the cars.
The wheels of the first truck of the next
car passed over his right arm, crushing
the elbow in a frightful manner. As his
arm was jerked down by the wheels, his
head was pulled down upon the track, his
forfihead lying directly across the rail. It
fortunately happened that Mr. Clark, the
section master, who was working his
gang at this crossing, was standing
mar him, and he had the
presence of mind to drag him away
just as the wheels of the second truck
were about to crush his head. The
wheels, however, crushed the hand of
the mutilated arm,which could not be ex
tricated in time. The arm was skilfully
amputated by Dr. P. L. Hilsman, and the
injured man was resting quietly this morn
ing. A sad feature of this accident was
the fact that Mrs. Mann and her two lit
tle children had left yesterday morning to
visit relatives in Virginia. Mr. Mann
had accompanied her as far as Smith
ville. Mr. Mann is an experienced railroad
man, and was the Albany agent of the
Brunswick and Albany Railroad during
the superintendence of Col. Schlatter.
A negro girl was severely bitten by a
dog at the plantation of Mr. C. W. Ran
dall, at Palmyra, Lee county, a few days
since. She was brought to the city for
medical treatment.
Social events since last writing you
have run their usual course. Notwith
standing the fact that we are in the midst
of the summer season, w T e have had the
usual succession of dances, germans and
picnics. One of the most enjoyable events
was a german given by three young gen
tlemen to Misses Eaton and Ramson, prior
to their departure for the up-couutry.
Miss Mamie Eaton is a resident of St.
Louis, but has passed a portion of the
last two seasons with friends in this city.
Sol. Weslow, eldest son of Mr. A. B.
Weslow, will enter the declamation con
test which takes place at Rome this
month.
A little girl, daughter of Mr. G. H.
H. Thomas, a patent medicine manufac
turer, died of congestion this morning.
Several young men are in attendance
upon the camp meeting, which is taking
place near Ellaville, Schley county.
On Tuesday a match game was played
here between the Artesian City Base Ball
Club and the Pastimes of Thomasville, re
sulting in a score in favor of the Arte
sians of 14 to 3. A game was played the
next morning between the Pastimes and
a scrub nine, in which the former won, 14
to 13. The colored Rough and Readys de
feated a Smithville nine a few days since.
Our warehousemen are showing much
activity in getting ready for the approach
ing cotton crop. Mr. S. R. Weston occu
pies his former warehouse. Messrs. Ed.
L. Wight & Cos. will use two warehouses
this season, having rented the one in East
Albany in addition to the Sims-Rust
warehouse which they occupied last year.
Mr. H. J. Cook has moved into his new
brick warehouse, which is just completed.
Messrs. N.Mfc A. F. Tift & Cos., having pur
chased the old Cook warehouse, are mak
ing extensive improvements and additions
to it. They purpose to bring it up to the
Standard. It will have five separate com
partments with fire walls running two
feet above the roof and outside doors. It
will be one of the most complete and
convenient buildings for cotton storage
in the State, and the insurance rates will
be brought down to the minimum. The
contractor agrees to lay 100,000 bricks
dally and they will have it ready for the
new crop. The planters are complaining
that rust has attacked the cotton and that
it is shedding badly. M.
THE WISDOM OF NEW ENGLAND.
The Colleges Solid for the Democratic
Nominees—Nailing a Disingenuous
Bluff.
Providence, R. 1., Aug. 14.— Editor
Morning News: I notice in this morn
ing’s Journal , of this city, the following
article:
The Savannah News desires us to account
for the announcement that the faculty of
Brown University is unanimous for Cleve
land. It is done very easily. It results from
the prevalent tendency of the Democratic
newspapers to lie.
Now, as a matter ot fact, the above
falsehood does that journal great credit,
for it is in perfect keeping with its course
in the present campaign. I have a son
now in this university and am intimately
acquainted with one of the leading pro
fessors of that institution.
No longer ago than last Wednesday I
met this professor upon our base ball
grounds. In answer to my direct ques
tion as to the political feeling among the
officers of that university, he assured me
positively that so far as he knew (and he
may be supposed to know all the others,
since he is an old one himself,) the officers
of Brown University were unanimous for
Cleveland, notwithstanding the opinion
of the Journal to the contrary. The
President, Prof. Robinson, is one of the
strongest Cleveland men. Prof. Davis,
Prol. Poland and Prof. YVilliams
are firm supporters of Cleveland.
I am not personally acquainted with
all the professors, but the above
1 know are solid Cleveland men. I also
asked what about Harvard College? The
same feeling prevails there, for you re
member President Eliot heads the list of
the Independent party of Massachusetts.
How about Yale College, of New Haven,
Conn.? saul I. The President of Yale
(Dr. Porter) is also one ot the founders or
originators of the Independent movement
in Connecticut, and the entire faculty are
united with him, and Cleveland will carry
Connecticut sure this fall.
Now what possesses this daily Journal
of ours to try to bluff you I can’t con
ceive, unless it be attributed to its innate
pure cussedness. That the statement
made this morning ie false it knows to be
so, if it knows anything, and 1 don’t give
the political masher much credit in that
direction, and it is for this purpose I Yvrite
you, to hold your ground against what is
so well known to be false. Massachu
setts, CoM|cticut and New Hampshire
will quills fly off of their buz
zard, next November, and “don’t
you The Journal is not held
in "much respect, if any, on account of the
course it is persistently pursuing in
slandering Gov. Cleveland. The oldest
and wealthiest men in this State, always
Republican, are for Cleveland.
D. YVkbster.
Britishers Disappointed In Cleveland.
London, Aug. 16.—The Standard ex
presses surprise that Mr. Cleveland
should have sent a letter to the Irish
meeting at Boston ou YVednesday night,
and says: “Even if the letter was Inoffen
sive in substance it is to be presumed that
it would not meet the approval of English
men.” The Standard adds further: “The
power of the Irish vote in the United
States shows the power it is likely to at
tain here.”
Sharon’s Detainers.
San Francisco, Aug. 16.—The Alta
published a statement of Nellie Brackitt,
a witness for the plaintiff in the Sharon
divorce case, alleging that the word
“wife” in the “dear wife” letters is a for
gery. The marriage contract was written
over the signature of Senator Sharon on a
paper stolen from his room by the plain
tiff. George YV. Tyler, counsel for the
plaintiff in the suit pending, furnished the
form of contract.

little romance for summer reading.
Davidson was a fine young fellow, with
the convenient appendage of a wealthy
father. When his offspring attained his
majority the model old gentleman gave
him a handsome sum of money with which
to start himself in business. Speculation
captivated and ruined financially the
young man. His father frowned and told
him that he must retrieve his losses with
out the advancement of another penny.
One day as he wandered into one of those
romantic out-of-the-way nooks in which
Central Park abounds he espied an en
chantingly beautiful girl who had fallen
asleep with her head resting on a snowy
white arm and an opened book lying on her
lap. Audaciously peeping at" Its title,
young Davidson read the encouraging
saw • “If at first you don’t succeed, Try 1
Try Again.” As he read, the fair sleeper
awoke with a little start. The words
which gave utterance to an apology also
paved the way for a continuance "of the
conversation. When young Davidson left
the park he had lost his heart and resolved
to enlist and take part in the war be
tween the States. The identity of his
charmer, who was Miss White, daughter
of a wealthy flour merchant, and at that
time one of the belles of the city, was un
known to him. A bullet wound in the
knee soon put a compulsory stop to Da
vidson’s career as a soldier, and he re
turned home. At a ball given by one of
the blue-blooded families of the upper ten
thousand, Davidsen again saw the hero
ine ot the episode in the park,
learned her identity and obtained the
introduction, which was followed in
due course of time by the marriage, which
the parents of both blessed and bedewed
with copious showers of filthy lucre.
VANDERBILT’S COURTSHIP.
The courtship of William H. Vander
bilt, he whose name is often mentioned in
connection with the famous horse Maud
S, and millions of money, is also of a ro
mantic nature. The scene is laid in
Albany 35 years ago. It was 10 o’clock
at night, and nearly all the good people
had been asleep for nearly an hour. On
one ot the most central thoroughfares the
clatter of swift flying hoofs warned pe
destrians to keep their eyes about them.
Avery pretty girl sought a convenient
doorwav that "the mad rider might pass by
without endangering her life. As he
dashed up the moonlight revealed an un
usually pretty face. A pile of
stones lay near the curbstone. The
fractious ’ animal espied it and
shied, when man and horse took a tumble
together. The maiden in the doorway
gave a little scream and rushed to inquire
whether the man was hifrt. He replied
that he was not injured at all. Glancing
into the pretty girl’s eyes, he lost his
heart right then and there, and she, not to
be outdone in a matter of that kind,
surrendered hers into his keeping.
Pretty Miss Kissam, the daughter of
the prominent preacher of that
name, persuaded William H. to
accompany her to her home near by,
which he was by no means reluctant to
do. Having arrived at the door, her father
was called out, and after hearing the ad
venture of William he was invited into
the parlor, where he made himself so
agreeable that he was invited to call
again. He did so many times, and the re
sult was that Vanderbilt and Miss Kis
sam joined hearts and hands and traveled
through life together.
A TARGET FOR CUFID.
There is a young lady in New York so
ciety of to-day who may, at some future
time, prove to be the heroine of a pretty
little lore story. The admirers and for
tune hunters who bend at her throne are
as many as the sands of the beach. The
lady is Miss Ada Van Tassal, the famous
beauty and heiress of Brooklyn. She
has " been in society the past
three years, and since her
first appearance has been a decided belle.
She is rather tall and very graceful, and
is a blonde of the purest type, possessing
large, deep blue eyes, fringed by long dark
lashes and a profusion of golden brown
hair. Her skin is fair as a lily and her
whole face expresses great intelligence.
Miss Van Tassal, with her mother, re
sides during the winter months at the
Windsor Hotel, and it was there last
season that they gave a grand even
ing reception, with dancing in the
ball room of the hotel. The rooms were
decked with a great profusion of the
rarest flowers. Miss Van Tassal
peared on that occasion in an exquislrc
YVorth costume of pure white silk,
trimmed with flounces of costly lace and
scintillating pearl passementerie. She
wore diamond and pearl jewels, and car
ried in her hand a large bouquet of crim
son roses, over which hovered several
tiny humming birds on wires. Her
mother wore a black Lyons velvet,
made with a court train, and trimmed
with rare point lace. At midnight a
sumptuous supper was served and danc
ing enjoyed. About 500 guests were
present. Other entertainments equally
as handsome’were given during the win
ter. At Long Branch Miss Van Tassal
always creates a great sensation wher
ever she makes her appearance. Her cos
tumes are marvels of taste and elegance,
and her horses and carriage are always
finely appointed. She possesses a gracious
manner and is charming to every one,
old and young, rich and poor. At the
hops and’balls she is the cynosure of all
eves, her beauty, elegant toilets and
graceful dancing all receiving attention.
Her fortune is a large one, something near
$1,000,000. She is the only child, and has
had every luxury and advantage, and
has spent much of her time abroad. As
yet she smiles on no one of her admirers
in particular.
COSTLY LITTLE LUNCHES.
YVine, woman and song go much oftener
hand in hand in the upper social circles
of the city now than they did a few years
ago. Hardly a lady now considers her
lunch or dinner complete without a
bottle of wine as an accompaniment.
One of these female bon virants, dropping
into Delmonico's or any of the other
swell lunching places, seldom leaves the
table without enriching the coffers of the
place by $lO or sl2. Many of them, of
course, spend much more. The profits ot
catering to this class of metropolitan
society can easily he conceived as
fabulous. No wonder, therefore, that
fashionable restaurateurs are rapidly
piling up fortunes which rival those of
their patrons. The tendency of the
people who indulge in these little luxu
ries is more and more to mixing a little
wickedness with the gay lives which they
lead. It has become quite the thing
lately for married women to take young
men to lunch or supper and pay the bills.
The caterers regard them with profound
consideration, for they order more ex
travagantly than men. It is said that when
women do drink they can outdrink men
and show the effects less. An instance
in favor of this theory occurred a tew
days ago. A young married lady of New
York, whose name is known in connection
with the grand charity balls and the flower
parties at Delmonico’s, made a wager
with a young bachelor of the Union
League Club, who was staying at the
same hotel, that>he could "drink him
down.” She appeared on the scene of
the refined contest attired in an evening
dress of White brocade, where her oppo
nent a waited her also in evening dress.
The champagne was ordered, and, accord
ing to the waiters, “the fun began.” It
ended by the gentleman being assisted
from the room before his third bottle
could be uncorked, while the lady, with
sparkling eyes and flushed cheeks, drank
his health’in the first glass from her
third bottle and swept from the room
with a firm tread. This is only one instance
in many. No pink dominoes hide the
faces of the participants in these little es
capades, and if the waiters were disposed
to tell tales out of school society scandals
would be even more numerous, If possible,
than they already are. Gay Gothamites
are daily" becoming more reckless and the
closets of the upper tendom are rapidly
becoming as overcrowded with skele
tons as are those of the notorious
French capital. A racy story is
told of a fashionable young
wife’s escapade at one of the leading
cafes with a handsome actor the other
night, and while the tale is now told only
in whispers It is spreading so last that a
startling explosion within the next few
weeks is not at all improbable. Names
are not admissible in print, of course,
but suffice it to say that the bluest blood
in Gotham flows in her veins, and if
the explosion does come its echoes will
not stop short of the court of St. James.
FREDDY’S LOVE FOR THE LILY.
It is beyond imagining wnat New York
would do without her Freddy. He is the
only one of his kind, and if anything
should happen to him he could never be
replaced. Just now he is at Long Branch,
but runs up to town every day or two,
just often enough, in fact, to sea
that his name keeps its place on
the tip of everybody’s tongue.
The latest story apropos of his
relations with Mrs. Langtry has again
flashed the light of notoriety upon him,
and made him an object of wonder among
women. It will be remembered that the
beautiful Lily returned to England a few
weeks ago. Freddie, of course, went
down to see her otf and loaded her with
floral and other more substantial offerings
in proof of his devotion. Kunningdown to
Monmouth Park he found a crumb of com
fort to assuage his grief by picking up $-2,000
on the day’s races. The next day he won
another pot of money when his horse Eole
snatched the Freehold stakes. The Lily
had not got three days out to sea, how
ever, before the tongues of the gossips
began wagging. Insidious little stories
followed each other in quick succession
on the balmy breezes of scandal, and
seemed to reach a climax in the assertion
that the Lily had returned to England to
secure a divorce from Mr. Langtry in
order to marry Freddie. The hero of the
plot of course puts in an indignant denial
to the whole yarn. M.
BEAUFORT PEN PICTURES.
Borne Facts About tlie Lively Little
Town.
Correspondence of the Morning Sews,
Beaufort, Aug. 13.—Anyone visiting
Beaufort at intervals of a few months
cannot fail to notice the signs of improve
ment it exhibits from time to time. It is
really a miniature city, and is destined to
grow to be a larger one. We have our
cotton mill, closed now, but open again
in winter, our phosphate works, our
dredges, our revenue cutter, always on
the watch but never catching anybody
(we are all so honest and upright), our
bath house, where the Savannah and
Augusta belles and beaux disport them
selves in the brine, our brass bands, who
make night hideous with practice, our
tugs, our steamers—and as to excursions,
there never was a place that had so many.
There is one from Augusta Saturday
night, one to and from Charleston Sun
day morning, besides water excursions
from Savannah and Charleston, mostly
patronized by the colored citizens, how
ever, to whom life here seems to be one
long holiday. I don’t know how deeply
tney follow the old maxim of eating and
drinking, but they certainly are “very,
very merry!”
About a mile down the river, at “Old
Fort,” stands the Wilson Phosphate
Works and the Hume Thosphate Works.
Continually there are schooners loading
there, and now and then a mammoth
steamship, with its big black hull, is
dragged up by the never wearying tug
and then drops down stream again. A
little higher up is Gage’s lumber mill,
where there was an Italian schooner load
ing not long ago, and, finally, along the
bluff and curving round the point we have
the town itself, which is as pretty a little
place as one sees, and with health that
will compare with any other seaport town.
Down on the business part of Bay street
a big traffic is carried on, and Saturday
afternoon a rich harvest reaped by the
lucky shopkeeper, for on that evening
“gentlemen” from the phosphate works
come to spend their evenings.
One would hardly credit the amount of
money that changes hands on Bay street.
The narrow stores are giving place to
larger ones, and everything exhibits the
signs of progress and improvement.
Everything, perhaps, except the Beau
fort hacks and hack horses. They never
change! The steeds may die, but,like the
dragon’s teeth, anew crop springs up of
exactly the same style. All, from their
appearance, live on oyster shells. Every
day phantom horses rush madly down to
meet phantom passengers, and "not meet
ing them rush wildly back, to repeat the
same proceeding next day. Well, it is
considered nobler to wear out than to rust
out, and if so, these steeds are a noble
race; they always “die with their boots
on!”
To those who have never seen the
dredge at work, it is very interesting to
watch it until one gets accustomed to it.
It looks like a huge black monster
perched out in the river, groaning and
puffing, sending out huge snorts of steam,
and seeming to be beating the water with
ineffectual endeavors to get away from it.
At the end of a long crane, up in the
air, is a pair of huge iron jaws or claws.
Presently, by the aid ot machinery, down
goes the "crane, slowly but surely into the
water, opens its greedy jaws, remains a
minute under water, and then comes up
with a huge, black, prehistoric lump in
its clutches, which it deposits in the
lighter alongside, and then descends again
into the regions of the misty deep. It is
really almost fascinating to watch the
process.
The United States has at last performed
a tardy act of justice, in returning the
surplus taxes on forfeited lauds down
here. But, alas! with the fee of $21,000
taken out, what will it be among so many ?

TROUBLE PROBABLE.
Pittsburg, Aug. 16. —The miners’ strike
in the fourth pool assumed a serious
aspect to-day and grave fears are enter
tained of an outbreak. The failure of
Neels’ men to come out of the mines this
morning as promised had a depressing
effect upon the strikers, and the rumor
that Deputy Sheriff McClure, who ha
been guarding Neels’ property, was using
his official character to pursuade the
miners to stay at work, excited them
almost beyond the control of their lead
ers. Threats were made against McClure,
and It was with the greatest difficulty
that President Costello prevented them
from going to the mine and mobbing the
supposed offender. They made no effort
to conceal their bitter feeling, and some
assert that their intention now is to first
request the working miners to join them
and it they refuse to resort to more effec
tive measures, but what these measures
will be they reluse to say.
CASES OF INTIMIDATION.
Several cases of intimidation were re
ported to-day by men on their way to
work. One of the miners says that he
was surrounded by 20 men who threat
ened to do him bodily barm if he went to
work. Citizens are complaining that the
strikers demand food and accompany the
demands with threats of what they will
do if food is not secured. If their de
mauds and threats are continued they
say that the strikers will have to abide
bv the consequences. To-night Deputy
McClure made an information against
six of the strikers, charging them with
conspiracy and assault. Arrests will be
made at once, and trouble is expected.
A special dispatch from Coal Centre (Pa.)
says that Officers McClure, Reilly, Shaf
fer, Pressly and Forsyth tvent to a camp
to-night and arrested Joseph Dowler and
Benjamin Warren, the only persons who
could be identified as having been con
cerned in the intimidation. They were tak
en to town and released on S3OO bail each.
The miners have telegraphed to the
lower pools for reinforcements, and by
Monday 500 are expected. There is great
excitement, but no demonstration. A
warrant has also been issued for the ar
rest of miners by President Costello.
