iRE mm ADVERTISER. PUBLISH Kit EVERY TUESDAY. XWISYTIT. - - G KORGIA There are .1,000.000 Indians ir Mexico,making thirty-five per cent.of the* sitire population. They speak thirty-five idioms and sixtv-nine dialects. They are nearly all grossly ignorant, and live fcy 'hrmselvcs a wild, half-savage life in the ■*nntry districts. Governor Jose Maria Ham ire/, of Chiapas, will soon ask the President to appropriate $1.000.000 to educate these Indians. The fruit production of California is "omething wonderful. During 1881 she produced in raisins over 9,000,000 pounds, or nearly three times as much as n 1884. She also sent to market last rear 1.100,000 pound-of prunes, 1,823,- *OO pounds of apples, 1,900,000 pounds ■if peaches. 1,139,000 pounds of plums, 050,000 pounds of apricots, 2,250,000 pounds of honey, 1,250,000 pounds of wml nuts. 1,010,000 pounds of almonds. A deplorable result of the unwarrant able corruption of the word ‘’fire'’ to made it synonymous with the verb •Vject” is detailed in a Western news paper. A hotel clerk left written in structions fin a slate for the porter to build a (ire in one of the guest’s rooms, reading: “Hoorn 40—tire at 10:30.” When 10:30 o'clock arrived the matter of-fact porter went up to the room and ■'fired” the occupant of room 40 into the •>trcct, in spite of his expostulations. "Will inrn Prcsnell was on trial recently it New Madrid, Mo., for the murder of uia father-in-law. He very successfully feigned to he deaf and dumb and was ra]iidly winning the sympathy of the ■rowd, when the judge suddenly turned lpon him with grim visage and threat •ning mein, and in a voice of thunder de manded: “Can you heir or talk ? n Throwing his head forward, with out stretched arms, the eyeballs nearly burst ng from their sockets, I’resnell sang out it the top of his voice: “No, sir!” The .‘ffect, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, was startling. He dropped back into his seat, paralyzed at the mistake, while his honor, the lawyers and the crowded •ourt-room roared and shouted with hi larious merriment, which continued so long that the room was ordered cleared.

The New York Time* declares that the frauds practiced upon farmers by knaves if various kinds have become so preva lent and notorious that even the agricul 'ural department at Washington has turned its attention to the subject.

In some counties in Ohio where the operators have worked most indus tiiouslv as much as $10,030 in notes ob tained by fraudulent representations has been turned into the banks for collection m only one county, and, notwithstanding the publicity given to the frauds during three cr four years past, the present -ea-'Cn is more prolifi • of victims than :he previous one.

A WRECKED TRAIN. Three Men Killed Outright and Twenty, five Cars Wreked. A freight wreck in the mountains on the Pennsylvania Railroad the other night de molished twenty-five cars, killed three men outright, and obstructed the tracks so badly that it took twelve hours to clear them. The accident was the result of a . heavy storm which swept along the Ccneniaugh Valley during the night, uprooting trees and blowing down fences and outhouses. Near Coneinaugh a number of empty freight ears were standing on a siding. The tornado picked them up and carried them over to the main track. A heavy west-bound freight train of twenty-five ears, going at the rate of thirty miles an hour, came along about midnight and crashed into the obstruction before the engineer had time to reverse his engine. The twenty-five cars were totally demolished and the wreck strewn along the tracks a distance of several hundred yards. Conductor Thomas Conners. Engi neer Thomas Mowray. and Fireman Michael Myers were killed almost instantly. They v. ere caught in the wreck and terribly man gled. The balan eof the crew escaped with slight injuries. The men killed were all mar ried, and lived in the neighborhood of Derry, Penn. HOG MEAT FOR FOOD. A West Virginia Fa'root** Narrow Escape From Lynching.

A FEARFUL TORNADO, 1f.4 AT cnil.milS KILLED on ISJ l Ii E D I V K t YN4 .S CITY. Tap Court House ntul Ollier Prominent Buildings Demolished. Kansas City, Mo., has been visited by a I storm which caused the loss of many lives, j principally childreu, and the destruction | of prominent buildings, including the Court : House. Details as given on the night of the calamity in a di-patch are as follows: A fearful storm of wind and rain swept ■ over the city to-day. continuing from eleven o'clock until noon. The Court House on ■ Second street was to!ally demolished above the second story. The Lathrop school building on Eighth street was jmrtially wrecked, many children were caught in the ruins, and eleven of them were killed. A manufactory of overalls on Second stieet was blown down, and five deaths are reported from there out of the fifteen girls at work in the building, while nearly all the others are wounded. The old water works building near the Court H >use was blown down, and ; one or two pei sons th -re are mis dug. Frank Smith, of Smith & Moffat, owners ; of spice mills situated in tbe old water i works building, was killed. Deputy Sheriff j Dougherty was buried in the ruins of the ! Court House and takeu out dead. Of the four buildings wrecked all were more or less I unsound. The school building has been ; twice condemned, and tbe Court House by | many was considered unsafe. The storm was a violent wind accompanied ; by a flood of water and some hail, which i turned many streets iiito'rivers. S gns, shut j ters, chimneys, etc., were blown with the | gale, and a number of vehicles were over | turned in the streets. The black clouds that i rolled over the city created almost the dark i uess of night, and made the timid ones | crouch in terror in cellars. The streets | were entirely deserted, and in some j instances horses were seen wandering about | attached to vehicles au.i seeking refuge from j the pelting storm. The Lathrop school consisted of a main | building, to which an art wing had been added. The building was surmounted by a tower, which for some time had been consid ered unsafe. The building was crowded \ with children, many of whom went nearly frantic with fear over the appalling darkness and the stillness which preceded the tempest. I The wind seemed to concentrate its force I upon the tower, which yielded with a crash, and, carrying down the heavy bell, plunged j through the intervening floors to the base- J ment. Th 3 main building is a mass of ruins, within shattered walls, which still stand. 1 The wmg nas comparatively uninjured, and the there were unhurt. j In the main building the effect was awful. The falling floors precipitated the terrified children to the basement, where masses of | brick and beams crushed them to the ground and buried th in from view. Owing to the excitement the first work was not very effective, but the fire department and police soon arrived and an organized search was commenced. The dead ! and wounded were taken out as quickly as possible and carried to the Nata toriurn, adjoining, which was turned into a hospital. Here the parents and friends of the little ones soon gathered, uttering heartrending cries as they recognized in the maimed and bleeding forms those whom they loved. Among the first taken out several were dead anil one or two mangled almost beyond recognition, their clothing torn and their bodies covered with dust and mortar. Many heroic scenes w r ere enacted during the rescue, and some of the wounded children seemed to have greater control than their elders. One little girl half buried in the debris, over whom rescuers were busy, i begged them to leave her and help a boy because, she said, he was only five years old. Eleven dead were taken out during the day and the bodies were sent to the houses of sorrowing families. Several of the children belonged to prominent families in the city. In the overalls manufactory conducted by Haar Brothers were twenty-five employes, chiefly girls. When the storm began they started for the cellar. The building fell with a crash, being razed entirely to the earth, and most of the girls were caught in tha ruins. The county Court House was erected nearly twenty years ago for hotel purposes, but when complete was purchased by the county for $200,600, and converted into a Court House. The second span from the north end of the long bridge across the Missouri, opposite the city, was blown into the river, the piers being left apparently uninjured. The dead numbered about twenty, and some of the in jured were expected to die. MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC. Sarah Bernhardt is industriously study ing the English language.

THE h S IGHTS OF LABOR CIIIF.I ISSCE s' .1 SECRET CIRCULAR In Which lit* Declare Again*! Boycott!** and Ali Acts of Violence* A secret circular from General Master Workman Powderly, of tha Knights of Labor, has been issued and read in the vari ous Assemblies. On topics of current inter est to the oilier Mr. Fuwde.iy speaks very frankly. He says: “We have been losing ground, so far as public opinion is concerned, for some time. One of the causes is that we have allowed things to be done under the name of the Knights of Labor fi r which the organization was in no way responsible. I ask of our members to keep a jealous eye upon the doings of the labor men who never labor, and when they charge anything to our order in your locality set the seal of your condemna tion upon it at once by denying it. ” ’1 he Master Workman distinctly advises against boycotting newspapers for criticisms uufavoiab.e to the order or its officers, since the knightsd -mand for themselves "the right of fiee speech’ ami cannot consistently deny it to others. Speaking of the abuses arising from illy-considered strikes, Mr. Fowderly says: "‘I find that wherever a strike occurs ap [ eals for aid are s attered broadcast among the assemblies. Do not pay one cent for such purposes in future unless the appeal comes from your owu district assembly or the general assembly. If boycott notices are sent to you burn them. I have in my possession 400 boycott notices which were sent to assemblies with u request lint they be enacted. A member is editing a papier; he fears a rival aud pro ceeds to get into an altercation with him, boycotts him and then asks the order to i arrv it out. Our order has been used as a tail for a hundred different kites, and in fu ture it must soar aloft, free from all of them. I hate tha word boycott. I was boy e otteil ten years ago and could not get work at my trade for month*.” In the future, Mr. Fowderly a c serts, the Executive Board will suffer no interference in the discharge of its duty. He condemns the j assiug of resolutions by local assem blies, denouncing Jay Gould and other capi talists, since such actions do no good, but only retard the efforts of the General Board to ar biti a! e differences with these men or their representatives. Sir. Powderly says Thai his time is so taken up that he cannot undertake to answer any questions addressed to him by mail. He says: From" now until the general assembly meets, I will receive no committees, answer no letters. I must formulate a plan for the future and will not be interfered with. Nor will I go anywhere at the request of members of assemblies. This is imperative. I must have a chance to do something of benefit for the order, and I cannot do it if I am to sit for eighteen hours a day reading letters.” Continuing, Mr. Powderly says that the order has had trouble from drinking mem bers and from men who talk about buying guns and dynamite. “If the men who pos sess money enough to buy guns aud dynamite would invest it in tho purchase of some well selected work on labor,” he remarks, “they would put the money to good use. They will never need the guns or dynamite in this country.” Mr. Fowderly takes a determined stand against violen in the following sentences: “If I kill my enemy I silence him, it is true, but I do not convince him. I would make a convert rather than a corpse of my enemy. “Men who own capital are not our enemies" If that theory held good, tho workman of to* day would be the enemy of his fellow toiler on the morrow, for, after all, it is how to acquire capital and how to use it properly that we are endeavoring to learn.

Statement of Her Captain to the Uuitel States Consul-CJeneral. Considerable excitement has been aroused by the seizure of the American fishing schooner David J. Adams, of Gloucester, Mass., by the Canadian authorities, for pur. chasing bait in Canadian waters. The State Department at Washington ordered Consul General Phelan to make an investigation and report. The Captain of the Lansdowne. the Canadian vessel which captured the David J. Adams, made a demand upon Captain Kinney, of the American ve sol, for the sur render of bis ship's papers. Captain Kin ney refuel to comply. Consul-Geneial Phelan, representing the United States Gov ernment, told Captain Kinney to keep firs pai>ers. The following is Captain Kinney's official statement of the seizure: ••We arrived in Digby basin on Wednes day night at 6 o'clock and laid at a place called Granville till 5 o'clock the next morn ing, when we got uuder way and started to leave the basin. The win i leaving us when we got outside ab tut one mile, the flood tide brought us back again. After we got into the basin again we sailed around to different parts till -about 4 o'clock on Friday morning, when we started to agam leave the l asm. Shortly after getting under way we saw a beat com ing toward us from a steamer lying opposite Digby, which lat er appeared to b; the Lansdowns's 1 oat. It came alongside of us after we had proceeded a mile and a half. The first officer of the Lansdowne was in the beat, and at once asked our hailing port, our name, the own er’s name, the name of the Captain, and what we were there for. I answered his questions and he went away, apparently satisfiod. Then we again proceeded on our course, but failed to get out oi the basin The wind leaving us, we drifted on to the west shore an hour before low water. There wo lay for two hours, when wo floated agaiu, ami the tide brought us back into the basin, where vve were again hailed by tho first officer of tho .Lansdowne, who came aboard, aud going below, searched our cargo, as he said, in accordance with the orders of the captain. When he returned on deck he said he Lad found herring on board and in pared how old they were. I told him they were ten days old, which I considered they were by their size. He then re turned to the Lansdowne, and returned shortly after with a man whom, I suppose, was Captain Dakeu, who also examined the cargo, and then the beat and officers returned to the Lansdowne. Then the same officer and crew that fir >t boarded us came back and said we would lie delayed for some time, aud or dered us to Digby, aud to anchor as near the Lansdowne as possible. We obeyed the order, and the schoonor was placed in charge of the second officer and five men armed with revolvers and cutlasses. We were ordered to lower our sails and await the orders of Cap tain Scott, who was to investigate our case. About four hours later Captaiu Scott himself came aboard aud examined our cargo, after which he seized the vessel in the Queen's name for violation of the fishery laws. Ido not remember the exact language used bv him. No re-istance was made. He then read to us his regulations that we would be allowed to go ashore here or go to St. Johns. I came ashore to see the Consular agent here, but did not find him, after which I re turned to the Lansdowne and informed C'apt, Scott that I could not find the Consul, anil preferred to go to St. John. He said he would start th? next morning, and that I and my crew might stay aboard of the schooner, which we did, the vessel remaining under the care of the armed crew from the Lansdowne. I again in the evening came ashore and saw Consular Agent Stewart, aul a-ked for instructions regarding tha course to be pursued. He ad vis ; d me to go to St. John, winch we did tha following day. After remaining in St. John four days I re ceived instruction to return to Digoy and report to the Consul-General. I deny having purchased or caught any bait for the purpose of fishing in English waters or having con realed the name of the schooner. Of course there is a jwssibllity that a piece of canvas may have been over the ra l covering a portion of the vessel’s name, but it was’not placed there intentionally.” Commander Scott, of the Lansdowne, re iterated his conviction of the guilt of Captain Kinney, and said the latter simply lied when he denied purchasing bait. In reply to the question as to whether he had received any definite instructions regarding the mak ing of further seizures, or whether it was the intention of the Canadian authorities to await further de velopments in the present case before pr ceeding to the bringing of new ones, Captain Scott said: “The seizure of the Adams will make no difference whatever. If Iha l a chance to seize half a dozen more vessels to night I w ould do so without the least hesita tion.” Consul-General Phelan characterize 1 this latest procedure asnotoingshort of trifling by the Canadians with the affairs of a great nation. “For. said he, “have they not held this vessel since Friday with ut offering our Government any explanation whatever? I sent a communication to Caotain Scott yesterday morning, asking hinT to explain tbe latest turn of affairs, but he gave no satisfactory response. I asked Collector V iets on what grounds the customs authorities held tha vessel, aud ho replied: ‘Violations of the customs laws, em powring a penalty of S4OO, and she was held for that sum? How can these conflicting contentions be reconciled? On one side the assertion is that the Adams is confiscated for violation of the fishery law’s, and on the other is the statement that she was seized lor infringement of customs regulations?” All the satisfaction Mr. Phelan could ob tain from Captain -Scott was that the latter referred the Consul to the Ottawa authori ties. Sheriff Van Blarcom received from Hali fax. N. S., a writ agaiust the David J Adams, bringing the case before the Vice-Admiralty Court in that city. The document is one of the greatest importance. It says that the action is for the forfeiture of the vessel and her cargo for violation of the treaty of 1818 and of various acts of the British Parliament,and of acts of the Parliament of the Dominion of Canada of 1868, 1870, 1871 and 1873.
