for a lew houu it was lively. The price
of shirts dropped to 10 cents, then 5 cents,

A Thrilling Ride.
Miss Emily T. English, eldest daughter
of Captain J. W. English, met with a pain
ful accident on Peachtree street this morn
ing, which will cause her a great deal of
suffering, if nothing more serious. Sbe
was thrown from tae back of a runaway
horse. The young lady is very fond of
horseback riding, and every morniDg early
indulges in a canter upon a spirited horse.
This morning she went to ride as usual.
The horse wps unusually frisky and showed
a disposition to run away, but Miss Eng
lish, feeling no fear, rather enjoyed his
antics. When at the corner of Peachtree
and Kimball streets the horse became
frightened at a street car coming up be
hind him and began to run. Miss English
settled heuelf in the saddle, determined
not.to jump. The horse’s speed increased,
aud down the street c? r track toward
north Atlanta he clattered at break-neck
speed, the young lady keeping him in the
road. A olock below Kimball street
Peachtree is torn up on account of the
chain gang being at work on the road. A
heavy rope had been stretched across the
street Saturday rnght to warn drivers of
vehicles that the way was obstructed by
Belgian blocks and piles of sand. The
horse was rushing directly upon this rope,
but Miss English did not see it. It was
just high enough above the streat to miss
the horse’s back about eighteen inches.
When within a few feet of it Miss Englisn
saw it for the first time.
She bowed her head, hoping to pass be
neath it but it was a little too low, and as
the frightened animal ran under the rone
it caught Miss English under the chin,
swept her from the norse’s back, and then,
as it rebounded, she was hurled high in
the air, falling about twenty feet in the c 15 -
rtci.' in in which the horse was going.
Mr. H. Ostleman, who was sitting on
his front porch, saw the horse as he passed,
and realizing the young lady’s danger he
started up, but by the time he reached the
steps he saw her caught by the rone aud
thrown heavily to the ground. When he
reached her she was unconscious, and
picking her up in his arms he carried her
into his house and then summoned Drs.
Todd and Ridley.
Captain English had been out of the
city, and as soon as he arrived on the
early train was told of the accident. Se
curing a carriage he drove hurriedly to
Mr. Castleman’s residence, arriving there
almost as soon as did the physicians.
The young lady soon recovered con
sciousness and told how the horse had run
I essentially” injured. These gentlemen ex
amined Mr. Lutz this morning, and Capt.
Milled^e is studying up the pension law).
Th^y will report on the pension to mor
row. Mr. Lutz seems confident of getting
it.
Attempted Suicide.
I Mr. Charles McKnight, a railroad me
c'ninist attempted to end his life Saturday
ni»ht by swallowing an ounce of laudanum.
He was saved by medical aid, and was up
vfsterdav morning. Disappointment in a
love affair is said to have been the cause ot
the rash act. .
Killed by a Traiu.
The Central railroad ran over an un
known negro at the McDaniel street cross-
i ing to-night, cutting off one leg and badiy
injuring the other. He w?s carried to the
city hospital and died about 11 o’clock.
I While attention was being raid to the
dying negro, E. F. Coates, a Luited States
prisoner from Cherokee countv, charged
with counterfeiting, transferred from the
jail on account of sickness, made his es-
! care and had not been caught at mid
night.
Ellavilie High school.
Ellaville, Ga.. June 29.—The
, term of the Ellavilie High School clcsed
last night. All acted well their parts, and
i without reflecting in the least upon any,
' still the address of Rev. O. W. Branch,
I of Smithviile, deserves special mention.
: His subject was the all absorbing one of
| education. From his discourse it w ’ e\i-
dent that he hid given the subject most
profound thought. He • is plain spoken,
I though at times he became granuly elo-
; quent, as he took flight after flight, ex-
! ploring new fields and gathering fresh

Col. W. McCrory’s address was also
' well received.

tle speech by Col. J. R Williams.

From Hogansville.
Hogansville, Ga., July 1.—The Baptist
and Methodist ministers, Rev. T. J. Cox
and Rev. W. T. Bell, were recently sur
prised by donation barties.
The Baptist churcn has closed a week’s
meeting, with the addition of several
members.
George, an old and reliable darkey, re
ported a water snout as having fallen on
his farm, two ana a half miles from town.
The water flowed with sufficient power to
force a loaded two-horse wagon some dis
tance across his yard, and breaking a rock
fence four feet high aud two feet thick
that had withstood water pressure for
twelve years.
The corn crop is more promising than
for years past.

away.
An examination showed that no bones
were broken, but the muscles about the
neck were very sore, aud Miss English
complained of pains iu her head.
,>She was removed to her father’s home,
where she is resting quietly, and the doc
tors think she will soon be all right. Her
vseape from instant death was indeed a
narrow one, and is almost miraculous in
its nature.
Colouel Buck Returns.
Colonel A. E. Buck, who has been _ in
Washington for three weeks engineering
Georgia’s political engine, returned home
last night.
He was seen by a Journal reporter this
morning,and was asked about the political
situation.
“There is nothing new,” replied the
colonel, “as to the appointments. Dr.
Arnold, the latest official appointed by
the president, was in Albany when he
was appointed, and 1 suppose it will be
about the 15th before he cau perfect his
bond and take charge of the office.”
“Colonel Freeman was very much dis
appointed, was he not?” asked the re
porter.
“He had no cause to be, for he had no
more chance of getting the place than
you had, aud you never thought of it.”
“When will Captain Nelms be asked to
vacate?”
“He will be allowed to hold over until

OUT BEFORE THE PEOPLE.
England’s Royal Family Parading and Re
ceiving Plaudits.
London, June 30.—The royal family has
kept itself before the public to an unusual
extent this week. The queen has appeared
twice at the royal agricultural 3how in the
great park at Windsor, each time with a
large party of foreign and do
mestic royalties and nobilities,
which attracted far more attention
and drew much larger crowds than the
other aaima’s on exhibition. The visitors
at the show were mostly loyal farmers and
they shouted themselves hoarse at the
sight of their queen. Tne greeting to the
prince of Wales was not less
hearty. “Good old prince!” was
shouted continually as he made his way
to the stand. The orince had no idea
he wps so popular. He overlooked the
familiarity and appeared to eDjoy his
reception. Queen Victoria has declared
that she was more than pleased; she
was delighted and amazed. Perhaps
her amazement was due somewhat to the
free and easy way in which her sub
jects shouted, “Good old Vic!” Yester
day the anniversary of the coronation of
the queen was celebrated by ringing
church bells throughout the city, produc
ing a discordant clamor not calculated to
cause even loyal subjects to recall the cir
cumstance with a very h gh degree of
pleasure.

McDow Jurors Figure.
“The reports about you in connection
with this office have been revived,’’ said
the reporter.
“There is no truth in th6se reports, and
I have never said that I wanted the place.”
“What will be done with General Long-
street
“That I cannot tell. He has never said
anything to me about any position, and of
course he can get nothing until he signifies
what he wishes to have.”

maier’s throat was cut from ear to ear in
King street, by John Weir, a factory opera

to-night, and in one hour destroyed the
entire establishment. The establishments
of J. T. Cohens, dry goods, M. Sternberg

While the firemen were at work on
Broughton street, on the front of a build
ing, in the heat of the fire, the wall gave
way and carried the firemen with it,
burying six of them under a mass of
hot Dricks. J. T. Webrs, driver of Protec

DURANGO IN ASHE;
Every Business House in the Town Con
sumed.
Denver, Col., July 1.—A speciaf from
Durango says: At 3 o’clock this afternoon
fire broke out in the southern part of the
city, aud in an incredibly short time the
flames, assisted by a strong wind, spread
in every direction, leaping from building
to building until at this writing, 4 p. m.,
half of the town is in ashes. Every busi
ness house and public building iu the city,
with the exception of the post office
and tne Traders’ hotel, is burned
to the ground. The wind is
still blowing, and the fire entirely
beyond control. The telegraph office is
threatened and may soon go. What the
final result will be cannot be foretold.
Should the flames be communicated to the
residence part of the city, which is not
unlikely, what was but a few hours since
the flourishing city of Durango will soon
be nothing but a mass of charred debris
and ashes. The fire department respond
ed nobly, but were completely powerless.
The origin of the fire has not been learned.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Extent of Business Done iu Listed and Un
listed Stocks Yesterday.
New York, July 1.—The stock market
to-day was extremely dull, especially in
railroad stocks, of which only S't. Paul and
Atchison showed any animation what
ever. Trusts were fairly active, though
lead and sugar monopolized the interest
in that class of securities. Speculation,
however, had all day long rather a holi
day aspect, and little is exDected tor the
remainder of the week, owing to holiday
cutting the week in two, and many
brokers have gone away to stay the entire
time. Tuere was a better tone iu the
market from the opening, and London
was a buyer, which gave much encour
agement to the advocates of higher
figures. Purchases for foreign account,
however, were small, and in a large
market would have attracted no attention.
Fluctuations in the general list were
confined throughout to the smallest
limits, and outside of the two stocks be
fore mentioned, there was actually no
feature at all in the usually active list.
Atchisou was remarkably weak in the
forenoon on rumors that the company
had been compelled to borrow money for
the July interest, and the old talk of re
ceiver was heard in some quarters, which,
while it gained no credence, served to
give a drooping tone to the stock. After
the first hour, however, the stock re
mained steady and became much less
active. There was considerable pressure
also unon St. Paul in the forenoon, but
the effect met with no su.- :ess, and later
in the day a more hopeful aspect of the
western railroad situation sent that stock
up fractionally above its last Saturday’s
price.
| |Sugar continued its rise of last week, and
iu the first hour advanced rabidly, scoring
a gain of nearly 4 per cent, alter which it
remained almost stationary until the last
hour, when it again movea ud ana closed
at 1231 against 11S| last Saturday.
The market closed very dull, but firm to
strong, and generally at advances of small
fractions over Saturday. Sales aggregated
117,000 shares. There were no marked
changes in the list at the close.
THE CHICAGO MARKET.
Review of Speculation in the Grain and
Provision Markets.
Chicago, July 1.—A large business was
again transacted in wheat in a speculative
way, and the feeliDg developed was very
unsettled and nervous. Fluctuations were
frequent and prices ruled higher all
round. July was advanced 3 c, then de
clined l^c under rather free offerings by a
prominent commission house, recovered
jc, aud closed 4c higher than Saturday.
August advanced £c and closed lc higher.
September advanced lc and closed jc
higher. December, which is attracting
more attention, advanced l^c, declined lc
and rose 4c higher than Saturday. The
principafmfluences governing the market
were unfavorable* crop reports from the
northwest.
A moderate speculative business was re
ported in corn. The feeling developed
was comparatively firm, with the excep
tion cf a short spell at the opening, when
an easy tone was apparent. The strength
ening influence was due mainly to an ac
tive shipping demand, cash lots selling at
a premium over July. The state agricul
tural report was also looked upon as a
bullish factor. The markets opened at
Saturday’s closing prices, fluctuated with
in |c range and closed 4c higher than
Saturday.
In oats, a better trade was noted and a
firm feelmg existed, especially in July,
owing to large shipments.
Mess pork was moderately active early.
The feeling was easier, and prices receded
74 to 10c. Later, prices rallied 5 to 7ic,
and closed steady.
Lard was dull and weak. Prices de
clined 24 to 5c early in the day, but during
the latter part of the day the decline was
recovered.
Short ribs were firm. Prices ruled 24 to
5c higher, and closed firm.
The British Grain Trade.
London, July 1.—Tne Mark (Line Ex
press-, in its review of the British corn
trade during the past week, says: Hot
and dry weather prevails, and is pushing
wheat. Harvesting will begin earlier than
usual. It is thought work will begin
about July 29. Storms in the Netnerlands
and northern France have destroyed
much corn. A fine harvest is being reaped
in Spain, from which country the first
European samples come. The Algerian
harvest is satisfactory, and it is prophesied
that then will be a surplus for export of
500,000 Quarters. Over ;an average yield
is promised in northwest Europe. In the
Latin countries there will be a full yield.
The firmness of English wheat is remark
able. Prices are so extremely low that
farmers have no fear of further depres
sion resulting from retaining their grain,
no matter what may be the probable
American surplus in August or English
deliveries hi September.
Sales of English wheat during the week
were 33,335 quarters at 27s lid, against
34.S00 quarters at 31s 4d during the cor
responding period last year. Foreign
wheat has hardened 6 pence. American
reports are less favorable. Russian rc
ports are conflicting. Flour is firm.
Grinding barley is 3d to 6d dearer. Oats
are dearer. Corn is 3d dearer, notwith
standing big importations. Beans and
per s are less deprrssdd.
At to-day’s market English wheat was
6 pence dearer. The reserved supply is
much reduced. Foreign was held at 6
pence advance, which bdyers were not
ready to pass exceot for fine Russian.
Flour was steady. Grinding barley wps
firm and malting was lifeless. Oats were
dull, corn was firm and peas were 6 pence
dealer.
Cotton Futures.
New York, July 1.—The Sun’s cotton
review says: Futures advanced four points
on this crop and two points on the next,
o wine to an advance in Liverpool reports,
of two much rain in the coU >n belt, and a
stronger spot market, closing steady after
a slight reaction. Rains of late have been
especially heat/ in the southwest. The
south was a buyer ofJAugust to-day. There
was some foreign buying of the next crop.
Cotton on snot wrs 116c higher, with a
good demand. Sales 981 bales, inducing
100 bales for export and SSI for consump
tion, and latterly 1124 for export aud 2545
for consumption.
THE CRONIN CASE.
An Effort Being Made to Terrorize a
Witness.
Chicago, July 1.—Police Officer J. D.
Moore gave testimony before the coroner’s
inquest in the Cronin case. Since then he
claims to have been baalv treated by the
Irish policemen atjhis station, and to have
had his steps dogged by spies. A few
nights ago while on duty he was handed
the following note by a boy, who ran away
as soon as he had delivered it:
“ Sir : If you know what is best for your
self you will quit the police force right
away. Your every movement is being
watched by the friends of Alexander Sui-
livan.
“ [Signed] Clan na-Gael.”
Moore is an American, and thinks an
effort is being made to terrorize him.
An Indian Lynched.
Bedford, Iowa, July 1.—Last Friday a
vagrant Indian made hi3 appearance iu
the town of Gravity, but was soon ordered
away. He next went to the residence of a
young German inarned Frank Glassman,
and attempted to assault Mrs. Glassman,
who was alone in the house. She broke
away from his grasp and ran toward her
husband, who was plowing in the field,
screaming for help. The Indian, mean
while, made his escape. Later he was cap
tured and lodged in jail. Early Sunday
morning a mob appeared at the jail and
demanded the keys from the sheriff, but
he refused to give them up. The mob
battered down the doors and took the In
dian out and hung him to a tree iu the
court yard.
Iron and steel Workers.
Pittsburg, July 1.—Seven signatures to
the iron wage scale were received by the
officials of the Amalgamated Association
of Iron and Steel Workers this morning,
making twenty-one signatur s uo to date.
Among the firms signing were tne Tudor
Iron Company, of East St. Louis; Whi f
taker Iron Company, of Wheeling; and
P. L. Kimberly, of Sharon, Pa.
A strike at the H mestead steel plant
was inaugurated to day, and all the de
partments were closed for repairs, pre
paratory to resuming with non-union men,
if the old workmen do not sigr
Silver Mine Discovered.
Chicago, July 1.—A dispatch from Kan
sas City says: A large cave near How
ard’s mining camp, sixty miles from Las
Cruces, N. M., has been opened up and its
interior is lined with veins of almost pure
silver. It had for years escaped the eyes
of old prospectors, because there was
nothing about the cave to indicate min
eral. It is now thought the cffve will ex
ceed in richness the famous Bridal Cham
ber cave at Snake Valley, N. M., from
which over §500,000 in silver was taken.
Defaulter Wright in Jail.
Philadelphia, July 1.—George W.
Wright, defaulting ex-treasurer of the Or
der of Tonti, was to day committed to
prison in default of §40,000 bail for his ap
pearance in court to answer the charge of
embezzlement. The magistrate declined
to hear any proposition of counsel for a re
duction of baii, stating that security must
be equal to the amount of em'oezz lenient,
which is placed at $39,300.

THE GREAT PRIZE FIGHT.!
Reading Iron Works Sold.
Philadelphia, July 1.—The immense
plant of the Reading iron works, which
failed four months ago for over §1,000,000,
was put up for sale here this afternoon.
There was a large attendance of leading
iron men. In forty minutes after the bid
ding began, the property in its entirety,
which includes t-ie furnace, rolling mills,
tube mills, pipe mills, foundry, forge, etc.,
beside valuable tracts of land, was sold to
Wm. P. Bard, of this city, for §150,511,
subject to a mortgage ot §690,000. Bard
purchased it for the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad Company, and the
works will resume operations at an early
day.
SULLIVAN AND KILRAIN TO FIGHT
FOR 830,000.
Preparations Being Made for the Fight
Near New Orleans—Speculation as
to the Probable Winner—Thou
sands Will Attend.
New Orleans, July 1.—John L. Sulli
van will spend Friday and Saturday at
Spanish Fort, where preparations are be
ing made to receive him. A twenty-four
foot ring or square, in which the great
fight will take place, will be surrounded
by another ring at a distance of six feet.
Within tills wiil be seated representatives
of the press, seconds, bottle holdeis, etc.,
and a cordon of police. Outside of this
will be another ring at a distance of forty-
five feet, within which those holding §15
tickets will be seated, police will also
guard this ring, both on the inner and
outer sides, to prevent any interference
with the fighters or their seconds. A p: s-
sage way will be formed to allow the
fighters to enter, jumping over the roots
of the outer riugs. Dennis F. Butler nas
teen given the superiutendency of the
construction of the ring.
Capt. Jameson, of Meridian, with
twenty resolute Mississippiaus, will have
eharge of the inner ring. In addition to
this special guard, there will be a rein
forcement of forty tried man from tbe
city, who, with Jameson’s guard, will pre
serve order.
So far, notices have been received that
parties have been made up to coma to the
fight irom Hazelhurst, Vicksburg, Green
ville, Memphis, Jackson, Tenn., Cairo,
Houston, Galveston, San Antonio, Ft.
Worth, Pensacola, Jacksonville, New
York, Chicago, Montgomery, Den
ver, Mobile, Birmingham and Sc. Louis,
about two thousand in all to date.
Curiosity is expressed as to when trains
leave the city for the battle ground on
the morning of the fight. That point has
not yet been definitely decided, but it is
believed that an early special train will
carry the press reporters, telegraph opera
tors, backers of the men, and interested
parlies, and leave tne city Detweeu 4 and 5
o’clock on the morning of the fight for
Ringside. Attached to this train will ce,
in all likelihood, a coach carrying one oi
the princioals in the fight. It is tnought
Kilrain wui occupy the coach during the
night, and not leave it until he enters into
the ring.
Arrangements will probably be made to
have Sullivan, his trainers and seconds go
over the evening before, it being tnought
that quarters quite near to the scene of
the fight may De obtained, where the big
pugilist can have a quiet night’s rest. Ar-
aangements are being made Decause it is
not thought desirable to have the two
men go over on the same train. When
the first train gets to the grounds all de
tails will be perfected and everything g;ct
in readiness to have the pugilists fight in-
stau.ly after the arrival of tne excursion
ists. The train proper carrying the spec
tators will probably get off about 6 o’c.o. k
in the morning.
The scene picked out, it is said, is not on
the railroad track, but is not far enough
away to make it difficult to reach. The
fact that there are several spots available
on the line of the road in several parishes,
sets at rest all doubt as to police interfer
ence. If there snould be any indication
of interference by officials at the point
selected,an event not at all likely to occur,
the train will move on further.
New York, July 1.—The World oub-
lishes the following: All roads lean to
New Orleans until after July 8. From
now until that date the only subject
sporting men can converse upon is the
great prize-fight for §20,000 and the cham
pionship of the world. If there has been
a certain slowness in waking up to the
importance of this battle it is all atoned
for now. Sporting men from all parts of
the country j especially the far we3t, are
here in shoals. Among the most promi
nent of the Pacific coast sports here is Jack
Hailinan,proprietor of the well-known Cre-
morne Theater,of San Francisco. Hailinan,
who was one of the old time light weight
champions, is enthusiastic over tbe
coming battle. He has secured the opin
ion of every good pugilistic judge on the
result of the meeting between Kilrain and
Suliivau. Though he doesn’t like to
declare himself, I feel safe in saying that
his money wi’l go on the Baltimorean.
Hailinan will probably go to the fight with
the Illustrated News party,which leaves for
New Orleans by way of Belfast and Cin
cinnati from Jersey City to-night. He wiil
do this in order to have a good chance to
inform himself as to Sullivan’s real condi
tion.
It is a surprise to me, taking every as
pect of the case into consideration, that
John L. Sullivan is really the money fa
vorite in the betting on the coming battle.
From my talks with the experts who
nightly gather in one corner of the Hoff
man house cafe I felt sure that Kilrain
would be the choice. To my mind, the
fact that Sullivan has the call in the bet
ting is evidence not that thinking sports
have weighed the chances and found his
tae better, but of the magic of his name.
John L. is a marvel. His old-time
feats ot going on a racket and then knock
ing out the best that came before him
are in every man’s memory still. There
can be little doubt that Suliivau has train
ed weli and faithfully this time. Even
better has he done his work at Belfast
than he did it at Windsor, when preparing
for the battle with Mitchell. And he has
made no bad breaks such as got everybody
down on him before he entered the ring
with the boxing champion of England. If
Sullivan is beaten in the battle of July 8 it
is not likely he can ever recover his old-
time prestige. He has burned his bridges
behind hiui.
Tne battle is sure to come off no w. That
£ reclamation of Governor Nichols, cf
ouisiaua, will not have the slightest ef
fect. It will be remembered that when
Sullivan and Ryan were to fight, seven
years ago, a bill prohibiting orize fighting
was rushed througn the Louisiana legisla
ture, which was then in session, but the
fight did not take place in the 3tate of
Louisiana, nor is it likely that this one
will. The only thing to prevent the com
bat now is an accident to or sudden illness
of Kilrain or Sullivan. I do not
think there wiil be much trouble over the
selection of a referee. The friends and
backer3 of both men are too thorough
sports for that. A s likely as not, though,
two referees will officiate, as in the case of
Heenan and Morrissey and some latter in
stances, but it is time that such nonsense
should be done away with. In a fight be
fore two refrees, if a question of foul blow
should come up, who would decide it?
So much interest has been expressed as
to the opinion of the writer of this column
on the result of the coming fight that I |
give it now before the departure of the !
excursions for the battle ground. I think j
Kilrain will win.

STORMS IN CHINA.
Fifteen Lives Lost and Much Damage
Done to Property.
San Francisco, July 1.—The steamer
City of Rio de Janeiro has arrived from
Hong Kong and Yokohoma. One of the
most destructive rain storms in the history
of Hong Kong occurred May 29 and 30.
The total rainfall for thirty-three hours
was 294 inches, at one time the fall meas
uring nearly three inches per hour. Hong
Koog papers do not venture to estimate
the ioss to private property, such as resi
dences, stores, etc., but place the estimat I
loss t a public property at $200,000. Scarcely
a house within an area of thirty-two
square miles did not suffer. All the roads
and streets in the colony were turned into
mud heaps, aud innumerable shops and
dwellings were flooded. Most every min
ute during the storm flashes of lightning
lit up the streets, which seemed more
to resemble the bed of a river than the
roads in the center of a town. The water
pipes burst at every corner, roads were
cut up almost beyond recognition, and
local roads were piled with eaiih and
loosened stones and the debris of the
up ~>er streets, so as to be impassable.
hhieen lives are known to have been
lost when the steamer sailed. A week
after the storm the city presented the ap -
pearance of having suffered a subterranean
upheaval and subsidence. During the
first part of the week little progress was
made with the work of removing the
debris. Loud complaints, therefore, arose
about the serious danger to health to
which the citizens were exposed by the
chokiDg of the drains, and the govern
ment was forced to call in the aid of the
military.
Italy and the Vatican.
Rome, July 1.—The pope, at a secret
consisroi y held yesterday, referring to the
speech made in the senate, in which Pre
mier Crispi dwelt upon the hopelessness
of attempts made to reconcile the Vati
can, and declared that the temporal power
of the pope was dead, said: “I have sum
moned you at a time of great difficulty.
In my allocution I saoke exclusively of one
act done against Rome, but there were
many others. Statesmen dare even to
bring forward accusations from the parlia
mentary tribune, as though it were able
to desire or not to desire what belongs to
our sacred rights.” Secrecy as to the pro
ceedings was imposed upon the cardinal
present, and a discussion lasting an hou r
loilowed.

Riotous Strikers.
London, July 1 —The striking tramway
employes at Cardift are engaged,in rioting.
The companies have tried to run cars with
new men and under police escort. The
strikers blocked the tracks and threw
stones at the cars, hitting the passengers,
police, drivers and horse, and smashing the
windows. Several of the rioters have been
arrested. The police force is large enough
to cope with the strikers.

Captain Pierce Suicides.
New Orleans, La., July 1.—Captain j
William Pierce, w hile sitting in the club j
room of the Continental Guards’ armorv <
this morning, shot himself through the
head with a revolver, killing himself in
stantly. No cause is resigned for the rr«h
act. Captain Pierce was for several years
a commander of the Continental Guards.
He was a brave and gallant confederate
soldier. He lost a leg at the battle of
Chicamauga, but continued in the service
until thejclose of the war.
London, July 1.—In the house of com
mons this evening Sir James Ferguson,
parliamentary secretary to the foreign
office, stated that Portugal had cancelled
the Delagoa Bay railroad concession,
notwithstanding tbe representations of
England. The Portuguese government
had been informed by England that Portu
gal would be held responsible for any los3
which British residents might suffer by
her action. The legal question involed
was beiDg considered by tne government,
and proper steps would be taken to pro
tect British residents at Delagoa Bay.
In the house of lords to-day Lord Sal is •
bury stated that, in order to provide
against any action by the Portuguese inim
ical to British interests, England had
ordered three ships to proceed to Del?gao
bay. This force would be sufficient to cone
with any difficulty that might occur. He
considered that Portugal’s action in can
celling the railway concession was high
handed and unjust, and the government
had informed Portugal that they would
hold her responsible for all British lorses
Charley Wheeler, of the chamber of
commerce, tells the following story:
“I have a married cousin who lives on
a nice littte place in the suburbs of Peoria,
III. His hothestead includes an acre or so
of ground, and he is thus enabled to enjoy
the delights of fresh drawn eggs, new-
laid milk, and warden sass. He keeps one
cow—a fawn-coiored Jersey, with a pedi
gree a yard long, and blue ribbons on her
finely polished horns. Distillery mash
was just then coming into use as a feed
for stock, and my cousin concluded that
he would experiment with it. Distillery
mash, which is the residue of the grain
after it has served the distiller’s purpose,
is supposed to he inocuous, although its
value on the bovine bill of fare has been
questioned. Well, my cousin had a load
delivered at his house, and the next morn
ing he began feeding it to his Jersey. It
was cheap, and he did not stint in the
quantity.
“It happened that his wife’s uncle from
Oquawka was billed to visit them that
day, and when my cousin went home he
found the old gentleman ensconced on
the front piazza as comfortable as you
please. The old fellow, by the way, was
a strict nrohibitiop ; 8t, and he could ha-dly
forgive a'snicae for marrying a man who
lived in the distillery town of Peoria. My
cousin was very attentive, for the Oquaw
ka sage was weil fixed, and my cousin’s
wife was his favorite niece. At dinner
the old man would dilnk neither tea nor
coffee, and my cousin pressed upon him a
huge bowl of milk fresh l’rom the Jersey
cow. Uncle drained it to the last drop and
c?'led for more.
“ ‘Tell ye,’.said he, ‘that’s the stuff ter
drink. I don’t see how anybody kin
drink Peory whisky when they kin get
this.’
“After (dinner all hands adjourned to
the veranda. My cousin noticed that
quite a change had come over the old
man. His eyes spr -sled, his face flushed,
and in a few urnutes he began singing,
‘For I’m a Jolly Good Fellow,’ to the
horror of his niece who had never heard
anything ligh^r than! ‘Auld Lang Syne’
from h‘i lips. Tne hired man happened
along just then, and the old man chal
lenged him to a ‘wrastiin’ match, side
holts.’ Then he wanted to run a foot race
with my cousin, who thought the old
gentleman was crazy, and was
about to telephone to town for a patrol
wagon when the old man jumped off the
piazza and sprained his ank’e.
“After they had got the old man safely
to bed my cousia began to investigate. He
happened to think of the milk and went
to t_ie pantry and tasted of it. It was as
good mPz punch, barring a little sugar, rs
he ever tasted. He saw it all now. That
distillery mash had done the business. He
fed it to the cow, and she produced milk
punch.
“Tne old man got well in the course of
a week, and went home, but he never for
gave my cousin. He insisted that liquor
nad been but into the milk ‘to fool him.’
He cut his niece oat of his will, and left
ail his money for the constant distribution
of temoerance tracts in Peoria.”—Minne

New Styles in Hostage Stampg.
Washington, July 1.—As Mr. Wana-
maker always sought to display his wares
aitr?ztively in Phiipdelph a—the smallest
as well as the largest—he proposes to sig
nalize his term of service at Washington
by giving us seme sweet things in postage
stamps, and at the same time leave a
wider margin of profit for Uncle Sam. The
postmaster-general invites bids for
two sizes of stamps, either
cf which may be the adopt
ed, but he has a preference for a
postage stamp smaller tnan that now a.
use, on the score of both convenience ana
economy. The new two-cent stamp wtli
be either carmine or metalic red in color.
Postmaster-General Wanamaker said
to-day he believed that the smaller sized
stamp would be quite as useful and popu
lar a3 the larger size now m use, and by
reducing the size a material saving would
be effected which could be profitably ex
pended in a better and in every way more
desirable color. No changes in designs
have yet been determined upon.
CLAIMS HALF OF DULUTH.
The Verdict Accorded Millionaire Prentice
Now Believed to Involve 813,000,000.
Duluth, June 28.—Further particulars
were learned to-day regarding the suit
concerning property valued at aa enor
mous amount which was decided here
last evening in favor of Frederick Pren
tice, the New York millionaire. It is now
thought the property to which Mr. Pren
tice’s title was affirmed by Judge Parish’s
decision is worth about §15,000,000. The
particulars of this case are most interest
ing. Mr. Prentice, who was born in Ohio
sixty-five vears ago, and made his firs!
money in .umbering, visited the Lake Su
perior copper mines thirty years ago for
the purpose of inspecting them with a
view to investment. Ashland, Wis., and
Duluth, Minn., had no existence then be
yond the latter’s having a small Indian
settlement, but Mr. Prentice saw their
elegibility for becoming centers of popu
lation and made heavy purchases ot laud
in what is now the best portion of Ashland
and the undivided half of 160 acres in Du
luth, which is now iu litigation, paying
for the latter something like $2000. He
acquired it from one Benjamim Arm
strong, a white man, who received it
as a dower of his wife, a daughter of
the Chippewa Indian chief Buffalo, to
whom the United States issued a patent
for a section of land, or 640 acres, in what
had formerly been the Chippewa reserva
tion. A quarter of this section, or 160
acres, was given to the chief’s daugh
ter in his distribution of his land
among his chiidred. Shaw-Braw-Skung
(Armstrong’s Indian name;, al„er selling
aa undivided half of this to Mr. Prentice,
resold it to John M. Gilman, and the
land in controversy is now held under
deeds from the latter. Mr. Prentice does
not seem to have paid much attention to
the course of events, and it was only
three years ago that he instituted suit to
recover his property. Tae case was de
cided against him in the United States
court sitting at St. Paul, and before he
took an appeal the limitation of time al
lowed for that purpose was pissed.
Under the Minnessota laws, hovever,
he was able to resume the case de nove
by paying large costs. This was a year
ago. Since then he has been trying to
bring the c~.se to trial. A time was set op
four different occasions, but the defend
ants in each instance succeeded in secur
ing a postponement. The chief and most
important of the defendants was
the Northern Pacific railway, whose ex
tensive elevators and docks at Duiutn are
situated on tne land claimed by Mr. Pren
tice, and against whom he has a suit for
ejectment pending. Mr. Preatics is of the
Prentice Brown Stone Company, of Wis
consin, owning several thousand acres of
brown stone quarries.

Acquitted at Last.
Mount Vernon, June 29.—After a <f?lay
of twenty-eight years the trial of J. Logan
Sigman for a murder committed at the
beginning of the war, took place at Mount
Vernon this week. It was concluded this
morning with a verdict of acquittal, but
the jury had been out for two days.
The crime which Sigman was said to
have committed was the murder of W. M.
Higginbotham, which took place in 186L
The deed was committed for no other
reason than that Higginbotham, who was
a sixteen year old boy, was hollowing for
Jeff Davis as he came riding down the
road past a house where Sigman was talk
ing to some loose woman. He had a stick
in his hand, but no weapon.
Sigman’s defense was that Higgin
botham had threatened to kill a union
soldier and then join the rebel army. He
went through tne war aud was never
tried, although an indictment for murder
had been found against him. When the
war wrs over he went to Missouri where
he lived under an ?«3uoied name. He was
arrested and brought back iu 1886 and was
tried, but the jury failed to arrive at a
verdict. Later another trial was had with
the same result. The third trial resulted
as above set forth. Sigman will return to
to his home in the morning.
Has Mrs. Sabin Gone to Europe ?
Washington, June 29 —There is some
thing queer about the treatment of tne
wife of ex-Ssnator Sabin. Nobody knew
there was anything wrong until the an
nouncement came that the senator had
obtained a divorce and that his wife was
in an insane asylum. She was confined in
the asylum when the divorce was pro
duced. There seemed to be no publicity
and no formality about either tne incai-
ceration of the lady or the divorce pro
ceedings, and now word reaches Washing
ton that the steamer Cormanie, whicp
sailed from New York for England this
week, had aboard a deck-chair marked
“Mrs." E. A. Sabin,” and that the steamer’s
passenger-list bore the same name.
