The resolution was concerned in. By Mr. Hand of the Eighth—a bill to amend, Section 1997 of the Code relating to vendors lien. It passed.

A resolution for tho relief of the Conti nental Fire Insurance Company, of New York, to relieve the company of the penalty of 3500 for failure to make returns tor tax ation to tho Comptroller General before July 1, 1885. Mr. Lewis, of the Nineteenth, opposed the passage of the resolution. He did not think the facts in the case would warrant the granting of such relief. There is no good reason why the company should be made an exception. It would be establishing a dan gerous precedent unless there were extra ordinary reasons, and such reasons do not exist. Mr. Powell, of tho Twenty-second, chair man of the Finance Committee, supported tho report of Ins committee. He said all tho facts had been carefully investigated by the committee and also by a sub-committee, b was found that the laches or failure to make the return in time was due to a de faulting clerk, and that it was only right that this relief should lie grunted. Mj'. Butt, of the Twenty-fourth district, said it was ovii’snt there wus no intention on the part of the company to do a wrong or commit a violation of the law, and that steps had been taken as soon as possible to repair the wrong committi and hv a defaulting clerk.

Atlanta, Ga., August I.—Doubt Ims been raised in certain quartern and for an ev ident purpose as to Georgia's title to the property in Tennessee occupied by tin: Wes tern and Atlantic railroad, which has now become immensely valuable. If then- were an intelligent doubt on the subject, which there is not, it appears that the act passed by the Tennessee Legislature January 31. 1333, and another Feburary 1, 1343, gave the Stuto the right of way from the State line to the Tennessee river with the usual rights, privileges and immunities, with tho right to purchase and hold iu fee or by lease any lands necessary, even going so far as to provide for the condemnation of lands for this purpose.

KENTUCKY’S ELECTION. Democratic Gains in Louisville—Prohi bition Defeated. Lopisvili.e, An:'. I.—Returns from the interior of the State so fur indicate a very large Repulicau gain. Returns from two thirds of the precincts in th; city Of Louis ville show Democratic gains. Kenton county, part of Carlisle’s district, including Covington, shows that the Union Labor party polled a much larger vote than the Republicans, the Democrats polling about their usual vote. Prohibition is defeated in Jefferson county, including Louisville. Tiie election for State and legislative offi cers of Kentucky passed off quietly to-day. The weather was dear and iiot and the vote does not see in to have been large. Owing to tho length of the ticket und local con tests the, returns uro as yet meagre. The labor and prohibition vote are smaller than was anticipated. In Louisville tiie Democratic majority is about 2,1X10, a Democratic gain of nearly 2,000 over the last election. The city elects a solid Democratic Legislative ticket, and defeats local option by a heavy majority. Tho county and city give a Democratic majority of 3,(M0. Meagre re turns from the State indicate a Republican gain, but prominent Democrats estimate (hat the Democratic majority will be from 25,000 to 35,000 votes. Following Is tho ticket: Governor —Simon Bolivar Buckner. Lieutenant Governor —G. W. Bryan. Audi tor —Fa yetfce Hewitt. Treasurer— J. W. Tate. Attorney General —\V. H. Hardin. Superintendent of Public Instruction —J. D. Pickett. Land Register—Thomas Corbet. Gen. Bin-idler appears to have run ahead of liis ticket and the Democratic losses are mainly in local contests. Lexington gave its lirst Democratic ma jority iu several years. The vote for holding a constitutional con vention was large, but the question will not likely carry. The Legislature will be largely Democratic, and will elect a United States Senator in January to succeed Sena tor liecl;. The indications to-night are that the work ingmen have carried the State ticket in Newport, Ky., by '.too plurality, and in Covington by 2iSO plurality. They arc elated ami sanguine of success in Kenton and Campbell counties. MILL HANDS IDLE. Tho War on tho Holding of Two Jobs Inaugurated. Pittsburg, Aug. I.—To-day inaugurated wlint from present indications will be the most serious misunderstanding that has arisen for years between the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers and the manufacturers. Already a number of mills in the Mahoning Volley have lieen closed down, and nearly 5,009 iron workers aro out of employment, while the indica tions are that before many days there will be a still larger number of idle mills. Tho trouble is caused by an attempt on the part of tho Amalgamated Association to enforce an old law in their constitution which provides that no man shall hold two jobs at, a mill. At tho recent annual con vention of the iron workers an amendment stigmatizing the holder of two jobs as a “black sheep” was passed, and it was de cided to enforce the law after Aug. 1. NON-UNION MEN THE TROUBLE. The members of the association who were notified of tho action taken, as a rule gave up tlieir extra jobs, but trouble arose over non-members who refused. At tho mills of Painter A Sons, Brown. Bonnell ft Cos., the Mahoning Valley Iron f., and Cartwright, McCurdy & Cos., of Youngstown, 0.. tbe mill owners refused to discharge those men and the mills closed down this morning. Some trouble is expected at the Solar iron works in this city and at the iron works at Akron, 0., and Girard, Pa. The manufacturers refuse to recognize the law on the ground that it was not, included in the agreement of tho scale of wages they signed. Both sides are determined to main tain tho stand taken, and unlessan amicable settlement is reached soon several thousand more mill workers may be out of employ ment. LABOR’S RIVAL ORDERS. The Knights and Amalgamated Miners Very Unfriendly. Pittsburg, Aug. I.—The last of the Pinkerton guards, fifty in number, were withdrawn from Hie coke regions to-dnv, and passed through this city this afternoon on route to their homes in Chicago. Tne coke workers made no demonstration on tlieir leaving. President Ileinmel, of tbe Miners Association, at West I else ring, was arrested yesterday and held in $1,00!) bail on a charge of conspiracy and interfering with men at work. He was one of the principal leaders in the strike, and his arrest caused soino excitement. This evening the coke strikers commenced voting to decide which of the rival labor organiza tions, the Knights of Labor or the Miners’ Amalgamated Association, is to boabsorlied by the other. The feeling between the mem bers of the two associations is so bitter that the amalgamated officials have refused to meet with the Knights of Labor in tho con ference with the operators looking to the linal adoption of the sliding scale of wages. Tho original stork of the boot occurs wild on the shores of tho Mediterranean sea, in Greece, and grows wild in some of the is lands of the Atlantic occeftu. This is the common mangold, of which there are two sulKsjieeies. It was cultivated for food by the Greeks, as it is at the present day by the Persians and natives of India. The’ Ro mans wore acquainted with two varieties. Clinrlomngno ordered the cultivation of the beet on his estate, mid from this it was dis tributed throughout Europe, and has ex tended to Nort h America. Prof. Aimsby, of the Wisconsin Erperi ment Station, says that the greater the dif ference of the temperature between milk and the surrounding medium the more rapid will be the creaming. In u series of ex periments the amount of cream obtained ranged from 92 to 94 per cent, of the whole by the well-known Cooley system, while the amount of fat in the skim milk was re lived from 7to 2 jxt cent. It was plain from the results obtained that when milk is promptly set in water containing plenty of broken lee, and having a temperature slightly above freezing, as complete acreamiug is obtained ill eleven or twelve hours as is possible by any method.

A Defeat End3 All Her Hopes of Win ning’ tho League Pennant. Charleston, S. C., Aug. I.—Memphis effectually squelched Charleston's last hope of winning the pennant this afternoon. The game was close and exciting, but it was very decisive and was played in a hurry. Hungler and Hines wore offered by the locals, and Black and McKeogh by tho vis itors. George McKeogh, of Memphis, was put up for umpire. The bleach ing boards crowd thinks that ho favored his side, but as a matter of fact his umpiring was as fair a.s could be expected. On Saturday the locals batted Black out of the box. To-day they sawed the air for live innings, getting only one hit. In the sixth they lit on him and batted him for seven hits, which netted them 4 runs. Hungler. on tho other hand, was hit easily, and despite the errors of the visitors, they won the game. It was the splendid work of tho outfield that saved Charleston a very disastrous and disgraceful defeat. Tho community is beginning to four on Hungler.
