INCORPORATED 1566. !• jEsTiausHEi ESTILU pretudeot. \ OURNEWNAVALTERRORS indications that the petrel L 13 TO BE ACCEPTED. . rVm b y the Builders That the Test Vas Not Begun Until Thirty-Three M , nut o. After the Engines Were In Readiness-Tho Charleston 300 Short in Horse Power. Washington. Sept. 4.-The Secretary . th Navy ban notified the president of the rv.lumbia Iron Works of Baltimore to have the gunboat Petrel, recently trie-1 hy an official board, painted ami cleaned, ready L the final inspection. This is taken to m ; an that tbe vessel is satisfactory, and will b,. accepted by the government. Pending t e fi ,a! action, however, the Secretary is considering the claim by the company to the effect that they were ready for tho trial thirty-three minutes before tho board began to take the records of the engines, which were, during that period, at their best. had begun to fall. When tie test actually begau the engines had begun to tail off and before the end of t o run bad gone down quite low. They armed that they were entitled to credit for the performance of the ship thirty-three minutes before the records were taken and t'i a! an equal amount of time be taken from the end of the four hours In this ca9e their indicated horse p )We r would be very near 1,100, which is the requirement. This olaim is likely to be allowed, in which case the penalties from tins cause will not amount to much. She has, however, earned a large sum for the government in time penalties. SHOWING OF THE CHARLESTON. A rep rt received to-day at tho bureau of st-iain engineering of the navy department from' one of tne inspectors on the new Cruiser Charleston, built by the Union Iron Works at San Francisco for the govern ment, states that the horse-power developed by the ship in her recant official run will probably not bo reported above 6,700 by the trial board in their official report. Tho v-s 1 worked beautifully, every part of her machinery moving in perfect order without tLe least heating. RUN IN SIX HOURS. She was run six hours instead of four, as stipulated in the contract, and she worked be:t;rduring the last two hours than she did at first, thus proving her excellent stay ing qualities. Her speed during tho six hours averaged about 18% knots. If this bo confirmed by the official report the ship will have failed to make the contract re quirement -f 7,000 hi.rse power by 300, which will subject her builders to a penalty of 130,000. HER BOILER PERFORMANCE. The boiler performance on this ship has been in excess of that of the Yorktown in proportion. The contractors did every thing i : their power to meet the require ments of _ their contract, importing hand P eked Welsh coal for use on the trial. The vessel was built-.n the plan* of the Nani wakan, an English design, which had ab ut twenty-four trials bef' to she was accepted. It ts believed that the contractors will go to c ingress h r relief from the penalties, on tho ground that the plans for the vessel were defective.

Washington, Sept. 4.— When the Presi dent gets hack be is expected to take up Corporal Tanner the first thing. Corporal Tanner says he will not resign, there being no reason who he should, and that if they want his place they must remove him. Secretary Noble will probably have the report of the investigating committee by the time the President returns. Whether favorable or unfavorable, it will hardly decide the case. The trouble with Corporal Tanner, from the administration point of view is restlessness of his tongue. Corporal Tanner has not heeded the warning commands to keep it quiet. He does not deny the state ments attributed to him, but- complains that they were either made in confidence, or as at Milwaukee in secret. He roundly scores tho republican congress ami tho G. A. R. for having violated his confidence. The general opinion is that ho will have to go. MEMPHIS* SENSATION. H. Olay King Sues Two Papers for Publishing His Depo3itlon3. Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 4. The Avalanche and Appeal published this morning abstracts of the depositions filed fer the defendants in the suit of H. Clay King against Mrs. Mary E. Pillow, and this afternoon the complainant, H. Clay • Kiug, commenced suit in the circuit court against each paper for *25,000. D. H. Poston, counsel for Mrs. Pillow, was made co-defendant in the suit against the Appeal. No bill of allegations was filed, but it is understood that the grounds for the suits are that the publica tion of tbe depositions before the trial of case is calcitlated to prejudice the complain ant’s case, and that the approving head lines in both papers have a tendency to bring the complainant, honored gentleman, into disropute. The ground of the ease against Mr. Poston is alleged to bo due to the fact that he furnished the ap peal with information of the con tents of the depositions before they were filed and causing publications damag ing to the complainant. The history of the case has been reportod through the press p-eviously, and this now phase only adds to tne sensational features of the suit. Mrs. Pillow is the widow of Gen. Gideon J. Pillow, of con federate fame. Col. King is a well-known attorney of this city. NAVY YARD PROSPECTS. Savannah Mentioned as One of the Preferable Sites. Washington, Sept. 4. —The best infor mation about the navy yard report is that no one place has been recommended, but that the merits of all the places inspected are presented and several are given prefer ence, among them Savannah and New Or leans. A QUESTION FOR PENSACOLA. Pensacola, Fla., Sept. 4.— That the commission appointed to select a site for a new navy yard in the south havo not yet completed their report or arrived at a con clusion, may be inferred from the fact that Col. W. D. Chipley to-day received a tele gram from Commodore McCann, in which the latter asks the approximate cost of re moving the Pensacola and Atlantic railroad track back from the bay shore for a quarter of a mile at twi separate places. Col. Chip ley is vice president of the railroad which skirts the shore at several points examined by the commission on their visit to Pensa cola. The nature of tho rep'y has not j’et been ascertained, but is probably as favor able as the colonel could wish. DEFLECTIVE ARMOR. A Test at Annapolis That Was Not Entirely successful. Annapolis, Md., Bept. 4.—A committee of the naval advisory board, consisting of Commodore J. 8. Skerritt and Cnief En gineer Henderson, were detailed for special duty at the naval ordnance proving ground to-day to witness tho test of tho Clark de flective armor Tbe inventor, Engineer N. B. Clark (retired), was represented by Capt. Bartlett, and F. B. King and a number of naval officers and others were paesent. THE TARGET BADLY USED. The target consisted of a section of a pro posed turret, designed to represent the same resistance as thirteen iuches of vortical armor, and consisted of four inches of steel at an angle of fourteen inches to the line of fire and supported by a vertical steel base of eighteen inches. A ten-inch breech-loading gun was used. The powder charges were supposed to give a velocity of 1,475 feet to a 500-pound projectile. Shot No. 1 tore a hole in the armor, though the larger part of it was deflected the second made a similar hole, and shot No. 3tura off one of the plate fastenings. The fourth aimed at the vertical armor pierced it also. BETTER PAY FOR PUDDLERa The Pottstown Iron Company Ad vances Wages. Reading, Pa., Sept. 4. —The Pottstown Iron Company, at Pottstown, to-day an nounced an increase in the wages of the puddlers in its three mills from *3 25 to |3 50 per ton, to take effect Sept. 16. Over 500 men are affected. A year ago nearly all the mills in the Schuylkill valley were pay ing $3 per ton, and since then nearly all have increased the wages, until a large ma jority are nov f paying from $3 40 to *3 85 to the puddlers, and all other employes in pro portion.

THE DEAD MAN’S THREATS IN ALAMEDA JAIL RECALLED. An Out and Out Boast That He Would Kill Judge Sawyer if Necessary- Marshal Franks Tells What Instruc tions He Gave to Deputy Marshal Nagle. San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 4.—Among the first witnesses examined in the habeas corpus proceedings in the case of Deputy Marshal Nagle to-day was T. T. Williams, formerly city editor of the Evening rost. He testified that ha visited Judge Terry, while tho latter was couflnod in the Alameda county jail a year ago, and that during a conversation Judge Terry threatened to pull Justice Field’s nose, or :-lap his face. The witness sug gested that Justice Field might use weapons to defend himself, when Judge Terry inti mated that he would be pleased to have Jusjice Field attempt to use a weapon oa him. ALWAYS CARRIED A WEAPON. M. M. Estee stated that he had known Judge Terry for over thirty years and that the fact that he carried a weapon was known to all his acquaintances. !’• E>. Wiggiugton testified that he visited Judge Terry in jail, and Judge Terry said he would kill Judge Sawyer if it became necessary. J. 8. Cosgrove, a newspaper reporter, stated that he called upon Judge Terry at Fresno after his release from jail and asked for an ex pression of his intentions regarding Justice Field. Judge Terry de clined to be interviewed and said he had no intentions regarding him. As the witness was leaving, Mrs. Terry came to him and said it was unfortu nate that the country no longer recognized the code, for if it did Justice Field would havo a chance to try his skill at shooting. ATTORNEY GENERAL MILLER’S LETTER. A letter from Attorney General Miller to Marshal Franks, directing the latter to provide proper protection for Justice Field and Judge Sawyer, was also submitted in evidence. Marshal Franks testified that upon the arrival of Justice Field in San Francisco on June 17 last he appointed David Nagle and two other deputy marshals to protect Justice Field from assaults. He gave general instructions to these meu io look out for Justice Field when the latter left for Los Angeles about Aug. 7. He instructed Nugle to accompany him, watch toe l’errys and pre vent them from doing Justice Field any violence. He called Deputy Nagle’s atten tion to the fact that Judge Terry was not au ordinary man, and if he met Justice Field it would probably be difficult to con trol him. He told Deputy Nagle that in his opinion Judge Terry would assault Justice Field, aud if he did Deputy Nagle would have to act quickly. The witness said that although Judge Terry might only intend so insult Justice Field when he saw him. he did not believe Judge Terry could control his temper and would probably im mediately draw his knife. He warned Dep uty Nagle to take no chances, but to pro tect Justice Field at all hazirds. The case was continued until to-morrow. GEORGIA FARMERS IN OHIO. The State Fair at Columbus Full of Agricultural Wonders. Columbus, 0., Sept. 4. — The Ohio state fair opened yesterday. The displays in live stock aro magnificent. In cattle the short horn and Holstein are in the lead. One bull weighs 2,800 pounds. The hogs are immense, quite a number weighing over 700 pounds. The exhibit of machinery exceeds any former display and is vory extensive. The fruits, while very good, do not meas ure up to the Georgia standard. It is tho best state fair held for years. SHOWN MANY COURTESIES. The Georgia farmers have received every attention from the Ohio State Agricultural Society. They were carried to the experi mental station farm in a carriage, and en tertained by the authorities. Many im portant lessons were gathered, and will bs of value to the farmers at home. Among thorn is a treatment for ti e plum curcuboi making one application per insecticide and fungicide, by the combination of sulphate of copper and London purple. In the afternoon tne Georgia farmers were taken to the fair grounds and were welcomed by the President, Mr. Pow of the agricultural society, and Seth Ellis of the 6tate grange.

Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 4.— John Wieubrocks’ saloon, at the suburb of Haughville, has been entered by burglars several times, and the proprietor recently put a watchman named Johns in the place at night to guard it. Monday night Officer Campbell, who had orders froin the police department to watch the store, saw a man inside and attempted to go in and arrest him. Johns fired and tho policeman ran. In half au hour ho returned with two officers, and they demanded the surrender of the man in the saloon. FATAL FIRING.

Tbe watchmau was locked up and tbe policeman taken to a hospital, where he is alive but uncon scious. STILL WORKING FOR A JURY. A Member of an Anti-Catholic Organi zation Ruled Gut. Chicago. 111., Sept. 4.—The work of securing a jury in the Cronin case was re sumed this morning. The only matter of interest developed thus far was a ruling by Judge McConnell, excusing Talesman W. P. Turner for cause. Turner testified that he was a member of the American League or Independent Order of Deputies, w hoso object is to prevent member* of the Roman Catholic church from holding or controll ing political offices in this country. The talesman, however, thought this would not influence his action and that be could give the defeudants a fair trial even it It were snown that they were members of toe Clan na-GaeL The defense challenged him for cause and the court sustained tne challenge. Prohibition Ticket of Massachusetts. Worcester, Mass., Sept. 4.—The prohibition convention nominated Dr. John Blackman of Springfield for governor, and B. F. Sturtevant of Jamaica Plain* for lieutenant governor. KSYSTONE DEMOCRATS. New Faces Numerous at the Harris burg Convention. Harrisburg, Pa., Sept 4.— Clouds and sunshine alternated this morning as the del egates to the democratic state convention liegan to bestir themselves, and there was an absence of brass band enthusiasm and decorations when they arrived at the opera house. There was a long delay in tho assembling of the couvbnt ion, ana it was about 11 o’clock when Chairman Kisner rapped the delegates to order and requested Secretary Nead to read tbe call. Even at that hour thtro were comparatively few people iu tho hall, and the preliminaries were listlessly goue through with. On the stage were representatives of all the leading newspapers iu the* state, and a few of the more prominent democrats, who came to participate or look on. There was a conspicuous absence of tho old-time leaders, and the convention teemed giad when it was whispered about that William A. Wallace of Clearfield would arrive be fore noon. YOUNG MEN TO THK FRONT. As was the case at the republican con vention, there are many young men among the delegates and numerous new faces. There were few substitutions as tho calling of the roll proceeded, and when Secretary Nead’s voice died away Jon the last name it was found that there was a full representation for all tho districts. Hen. Samuel W. Cherry of Cumberland was chosen temporary chairman without delay, and was escorted to the stage by Samuel Johnston of Philadelphia, aud Patrick Foley of Alleghany, thus represent ing the seat and west and center of the stats democracy in one group. Mr. Cherry’s speech was'not long. He arraigned the Re publican party for its many misdeeds, and severely criticized the management of the sinking fund commission, closing with a eulogy of the Democratic party. He men tioned tho name of ex-Presideiit Cleveland and the convention was soon cheering itiself hoarse. Ex-Senator Kiug of Schuylkill county moved that committees of one from each senatorial district bo constituted on resolutions, permanent organization, cre dentials, rules and vice presidents, which was agreed to. The secretary announced that the names for these committees had already been handed in, whereupon the convention took a recess for half au hour. THE PERMANENT CHAIRMAN. After the recess, J. B. Riley of Schuylkill ciunty was made permanent chairman. There were no contests. The platform was read and adopted, the different planks being greeted with hearty cheers. Mr. Foran of Philadelphia presented a resolution, which was unanim usly adopted, commending the course of Mr. Gladstone iu his attitude toward the Irish people. Edward A. Bigler of Clearfield county was nominated for state treasurer on the first ballot, and the convention adjourned. THE PLATFORM. Tho platform declares in favor of tariff reform; denounces trust*; accepts the de cision of the people of Pennsylvania ren dered by ballot on the prohibitory amend ment ns a deolarat ion iu favor of reason able, just, and effective regulation of the traffic in ardent spirits; expi esses sympathy for the flood sufferers and favors liberal pensions to honorably discharged soldiers rendered unfit for labor by wounds, or other infirmities resultant from the war. MISERY AMONG MINERS. An Appeal in Behalf of the Locked Out Men of Illinois. Chicago, Sept. 4.—An appeal to the public through the press is made by Henry D. Lloyd, formerly on the editorial staff of one of the Chicago morning papers. Mr. Lloyd has made a personal investigation on bis own account of tho condition of the Illinois minors. He says: “There is greater need than ever of help for the starving men, women and children of Spring Valley, in this state. There are thousands of sufferers there from want of food, clothing, medicine and sym pathy. Most of these sufferers aro children, and most of the children are little ones. 1 have just returned from Spring Valley. There, in this great and prosperous state, and iuthemiditof harvest laden farms aud rich cities, visitors will see a cemetery of the living. In stead of the light of health there shines in tbe eyes of women and men the phosphorescence of decaying strength, and children fatally weakened by want are dying of diphtheria. There are families where adults and children, grievously sick, are without medical attendance and medi cines, because there is no money to pay for them. not strikers. “The men at Spring Valley are not strikers. They did not lose t heir work by the striking. It was taken away from them. They are the victims of two lockouts. Last Christmas about 1,000 of thorn were shut out; of work by order closing part of the mine. Their comrades, knowing that the men and their families thus turned into un expected idleness in thede .and of winter w< u and starve, divided thoir own work with them. For tho rest of tho winter every miner laid off one day in three in order to give part work to all. This lasted into April. Then tho community exhausted by this strain of supporting three men aud their families on tho earnings of two men received its final blow. LAID OFF WITHOUT NOTICE. “April 29, without previous notice of any kind, tho miners were told to tako away their tools and leave the mines, which ware closed. In one afternoon their livelihood was taken from them. They had no thought or plan of striking. They were not even given a chance of working for lcwor From the day they received this notice to quit until W. L. Scott of Erie made his recent offer to them of a reduction of wages from 90 cents a ton to an equivalent of about' 55 cents or less, coupled with the demand that they give up their labor unions, these men have been waiting in invbiuntary idleness to learn what was to be their fate. BEGGARLY EARNINGS. “Before thq lockout they earned on an average, according to their own figures, about @3O a month, Recording to the figures given me by an official of the company, they earn and about #43 a month, if these wore their earnings at 90 cents a ton, what would they be at 55 cents a ton? The settlement of the strikes olsowhere in the coal regions has caused the public to slacken in their contributions of relief in the mistaken belief that the .Spring Valley difficulty was inclnded in the agree ments. This is an error. Tho men are stili out of work and the situation at Hpring Valley is worse than it has beeu elsewhere. West Virginia’s Governorship. Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 4.—A special from Terra Alta, W. Va., says: ‘ The guberna torial commission is nearing the end of its labors. To-day Mercer and McDowell counties were disposed of finally, Tho two show a net gain of 193 votes for Fleming. Brocton countv was taken up this after noon, and 33 Fleming and 17 Goff votes were rejected on a distriot boundary dispute, and 2 Fleming and X Goff vote was rejected on other points. GREENWOOD'S RACE WAR KILLING A FEW OF THE NEGROES ENDS THE ROW. Everything Quiet at the County Seat —A Peaceful Negro Killed by His Own Race Because He Wouldn't Join the Rioters—A Heconnoitering Party on a Search. New York, Sept. 4.—A special from Greenwood, Miss., says: “From present appearances it looks as though the sun of peace would supercede the ( loud of war. Tbe sheriff of this county returned from Winter City, the seat of war, last evening, and reports everything quiet up there. Four of the ring leaders, Adolph Horton, Scott Morris, M. J. Dial aud Jack Dial, were killed. The military arrived at Minter City at 7 o’clock yesterday morning. The excitement among the negroes was aug mented by a report that a peaceful negro had bzen killed during the night for refusing to take up arms against tho whit > people. Upon tho arrival of the troops it was learned that a party of about 160 negroes well armed with Winchester rifles were encamped near Cane lake, a distance of six or eight miles from Miuter City. a reconnoitering party. “A recommit Tiug party of citizens, num bering about fifty men, was organized and proceeded to interview tho belligerent lilaoks. After riding for some time through a dense forest of cane and vines. They ar rived at the place designated as the camp of the negroes, but to their surprise they had moved to some other place. A search was at once instituted. Part of the men were detailed to go in different directions and make a thorough search of the entire surrounding country in order to discover their whereabouts. The party, while pass ing through the plantation of C. A. Lownes, came upon Adolph Hulhm and Jack Dial, and they were commanded to surrender. BOTH SHOT DOWN. “Without regarding tho command of the offleors they drew their pistols and started to run, when they were shot down. Tho two were vory desperate aud mischievous, and had been the principal aiders of Crom well und Thomas iu arousing the negroes of this county. The other loaders wore killed this morning while resisting arrest. Thomas, Allan and Cromwell, tho moving spirits of the insurrection, have not been arms ted. but the whites and better class of blacks are determined to briDg them to justice. TWO BAD ONES. George Allan is the one who killed another negro last Sunday night ou the Townsend place for refusing to join hi* band, and it is believed that is still in this county. Crom well is an ox-convict and one of the princi pal instigators of the not. His whereabouts at present are unknown, cut there are about 75 or! 100 men searching for Allan and his accom plices, of whom there are about eight. The best of feeling prevails between the whites and letter class of negroes, and when this troublesome element fms boon brought to justice the machinery of affairs will move as though nothing had happened.” " r WESTERN WATERWAYS. The Eighth Meeting of the Conven tion Now in Session. Cincinnati, 0., Sept. 4.— The conven tion for tho improvement of western wator ways begaus its eighth meeting here to-day.
