The Strikers Putting Private Marks on the Cars to Show that They Were Loaded by “Scabs”—A Large Force of Holies on Hand but no Trouble Chicago, Aug. 27.—A1l the packing houses at the stock yards were killing to day. The striking switchmen marked every car that went out of the yards with a private mark, to indicate that it is “scab” freight, and claim to believe that it will not be handled by the regular men. Tbui ftr there has been no trouble in the down town yards. The men are all work ing except those on the Chicago and Alton road, strike has no relation to the stock yards affair. THIRTEEN" ENGINES WORKING. At 1 o’clock this afternoon thirteen en- were at work in the stockyards, hand ling about ail the goods that shippers cared to move. The engines w orking belonged to the Fort Wayne, Northwestern, Milwaukee and St. Paul, Baltimore and Ohio. Illinois Central. Pan-Handle, Michigan Central and Lake Shore roads. In many instances engine* are being manned by officials of the roads. An engine of the Baltimore and Ohio Company came into the yards to remove some loaded cars, and while making connections the Baltim re and Ohio switchmen quit work. A large force of police are on the grounds and the best of order and apparent good feeling pre vail. POWER OF THE SWITCH MEN'S ASSOCIATION A mass meeting of railroad employes was field to-night to refute the allegations that the switchmen’s association had it in its power to prevent the frequent outbreaks among the men aud failed to use its author ity. Of the switchmen employed tn the various railroad yards in this city, it is safe to say that not more than one-third belong to the association. Among the switchmen at the stock yaris not over eight are members of the association, while on the Chicago and Alton road there are only three members. That the supreme council of the association was not in sympathy with many of the strikes inaugurated, Grand Organiser Ball’s comments at the meeting to-night on the Chicago and Alton affair show plainly. He said: “The strike was begun without cause, and were the men members at our order such a strike would be quickly settled by the men being ordered back to work. Wo are not making war on any men simply because ho is not a member of oor order. This strike on the Chicago and Alton would saver have occurred had the manage mco listened to us at the time of the last big strike. Were our men only at work in the yards the association could control them and half, yes, nine-tenths of the strikes, would be avoided. “In order that a strike may be proclaimed the men mart go through as much red tape as the gravest bill has in the United Htates Senate." VANDERBILT'S STRIKERS. No Change in the situation at tba , Albany Y ards. Albany, N. Y., Aug. 27.—The New York Central officials say that the freight move ment out of the West Albany and Karner yards was a great improvement over that of yesterday. The Boston and Albany road to-day informed the Central that they were delivering too many cars to it, and the road will be somewhat detained in clearing the yards. The yard at Karner, from a personal in spection, apperrs to be muoh more orowded than it was a week ago. There are several hundred loaded cars iu the West Albany yards. The cars are very’ much in need of repairs, and the freight in them will have to be transferred. A LACK OF MEN IN THK SHOPS. This work would have been done before this were it not for the fact that there are not enough men in the repair shops be do one-third of the necessary repairs. An engine in the West Albany yards, as it was passing over a switch known as the Chinese puzzle, ran off. It was three hours before the switch was again ready for use. About 300 men were at work in the shops to-day. Two striking knights returned to work in the blacksmith shop. About one-third of the men in the shops are non-union men, who went out with the knights, but have since returned. The rest are new men. CLAIMS OF THK KNIGHTS. A striking knight to-night said that as yet not one of his brethren had returned to work in the yards or at Karner. In a bul letin issued to-night the strikers 6ay the Central officials are giving out exaggerated statements of the movement of freight. They deny that any of the knights have applied for reinstatement. SupL Hammond of the Delaware and Hudson road says he will have a full force of men to-morrow morning. The situation is the same in the Albany yards. The Pinkerton force has been reduced one third. There are about 200 of these men there. MELBOURNE'S TOILERS. The Gae Stokers go Out—No Chansre In the Seamen's Strike. Melbourne, Aug. 27.—The gas stokers •were out on a strike to-day. Tbeir griev ance U that the company employs non-un ion men. The steamship company’s hands will strike to-morrow, stopping all seaboard traffic. A dispatch from Sidney says that great excitement prevails among the strikers at New Castle, and troops have been sent to that town in anticipation of trouble. A special force of constables has been enrolled at Sidney to take the place of the military that have been Bent to New Castle. PRESIDENCY OF THE SENATE. Thomas County Urges the Claims of Hon. Robert G. Mitchell. THOMASvn,t,E, Ga., Aug. 27.—This •enatorial district has a candidate, a strong one too, in the field for president of the Senate. He is the Hon. Robert G. Mitchell of Thomas county. Col. Mitchell is indeed one of natures noblemen and impresses every one he meets with the superiority of his mind and heart. The press all over the state ha-' made complimentary mention of his candidacy for president of the Senate, and he will doubtless make a close race for that honorable position. A BOY UNDER A TRAIN. The Engine and Every Car Paes Over dm and He Survives. Ccrdelk, Ga.. Aug. 27.—A negro boy, a mute, about 12 years old. while crossing the track of the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad yesterday morning id this citv, was struck by the cab of a backing freight train, knocked between the rails and the entire train of cars, together with the engine, passed over him. He is not sup posed to be injured beyond some severe bruises about the head and shoulders. H. CLAY FOSTER DEAD. Be Was One of the Most Successful Lawyers in Augusta. Acouhta, Ga., Ang. 27.—Hon. H. Clay Foster died at 6 o’clock to-night ut his sub urban residence from congestive fever, lie was the third son of the late John Foster. He was associated in the practice of law with Hon. Joseph R.

A FIRM EMBARRASSED Ita Paper Reported to Have Been Thrown Out Boston, Aug. 27.—1 t was rumored on the street this afternoon that P-tter, Lovell A Cos. of 44 Federal street were financially embarrassed. There are two concerns car rying business of similar character at the same plae-. Potter, Lovell A Cos. and the Potter-Lovell Comiany. Th>* firm of Po - ter. Lovell A Cos., bankers, i- composed of Wal e- Potter, W. D. Lovell aDd G. W. Terrell. Th Potter-Lovell Company, dealers in commercial papers, has for its president, Walter Potter, vice-president Thomas G. Carson, treasurer W. D. Lovell and secre tary- George W. Drill. The Quantity of in terest on the part of the individuals and otherwise and the close Conner ion between the concerns, makes it impossible to deter mine at once just what the relations of the two concerns are to the existing difficulties. PAPER THROWN OUT. It is stated that the firm's paper bad been thrown out during the day, but the informa tion was coupled with the assurance that there could not be an absolute failure be cause of an existing surplus of s3<>o,ojo. and efforts were being made to r l'O 4 rX),000 to tide over the present difficulties. The Potter Lovell Company was incorporated under the laws of Massachusetts in 18*4 with a cash capital of $400,000, with the purpose of discounting commercial paper. IHOMASVILLE TOPICS. The 8., F. and W. Making Extensive Repairs—Building Activity. Thomasville, Ga., Aug. 27.—The Savannah, Florida and Western railroad is making extensive improvements in its I depot property in this city. The little creek below the postoffice has been splen didly sewered by a substantial arched brick work, and the whole valley is being leveled up. A dozen new tracks will be put down, some running on each side of the ware houses and the passenger depot. A spacious and first-class freight ware house will also take the place of the old one, to o mplete the facilities requited for the largely increased business of the oompanv at this point. Building activity is once more manifest ing itself after a season of comparative rest. A number of dwellings are now in course of construction, and several elegant ones will be begun at an early day. Contractors are scarce and there is plenty of work for the carpenters now here. Thomasville tourists are returning home daily. John T. West, W. K. Ward and wife, Hall Parker, Miss Jessie Stuart and John L Finn and wife have arrived re cently. taxes on railroads. The Controller General Finishes the Computation of His Estimates. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 27.—Controller General Wright to-aight finished com puting the amount of taxes that must be paid the state by the railroads and Btreet railroads by Oct. 1, or each delinquent will be fiued 1500. There are now sixty eight railroads in the state, valued at #136,- 606,834. The ad valorem tax on them amounts to #748,940, This does not include the Macon and Covington, which has not yet been as sessed, but which was valued last year at •780,369. The street railroad property in the state is return oil at #1,020,083, on which the tax amounts to •4.435. There is a considerable increase iu the value of railroad property in a year sinoe it was assessed. Last year it was at f34,250,477, on which the tax was #136,909. This is the first year the street car property has beau returned to the con troller, and hence no comparison can be made. QUITMAN’S NEW ENTERPRISES. The Alliance Bank to Open Oct. 1--The Cotton Compress. Quitman, Ga.. Aug. 27—The directors of the Brooks County Alliance Bank met here to-day and decided to open the bank on Oct L The capital stock is to be #25,- 000, which has keen subscribed. Maj. J. C. McDonald of this place will be the presi dent and Gus Groover, now in the employ of the Savannah, Florida and Western rail way at Savannah, the cashier. Quitman’s comprees will start work next week. It would have been ruuning before this nut for the failure to receive some parts of the machinery. The railroad allows all cotton west of here to be stopped here for compression. It is expected tliut from 20,000 to 30,000 bales will be compressed this season. Brooks county's oottou crop will be short, probably one-third. Continuous rains and the boll worm are the cause. PHOSPHATE IN THOMAS. Great Excitement Over Finds Near the Winter Sanitarium. Thomasville, Ga., Aug. 27.—There is great excitemeut over phosphate finds in the Varuedoe and McKinnon neighborhood, near this city. Dunwoody Jones, repre senting an Atlanta syndicate of capitalists, has been prospecting diligently for some time in that section, and now reports rich discoveries of phosphate rock. The rock is is said to be very rich in phosphate, and it is thought will analyze from 50 to 80 per cent. It has been found on plantations of CaptVar nedoe, Clinton and Leander Varuedoe, the Vauns, K. McKinnon, Mrs. Mac McKinnon and the Heaths. The syndicate has bought certain lands near Boston and is taking options on tho above places. It will be strange indeed if Thomas county should prove to hold a phosphate bonanza, but no stranger than many other unexpected dis coveries. GUYTON’S TICK ST.

Ah Wing's Escape from Being the Cen terpiece of a Banquet. From the San FSanriteo Examiner. Pocahontas has been outdone by an A lasts maiden. John Smith was only in danger of having his brains spattered over the sur rounding real estate when Pocahontas res cued him witu her love. The John Smith, of Alaska, was not only in danger of oeiug killed, but of being eaten when tne woman in whose eyes he found favor saved him. Of coarse the situations in life of the actors are se me what dittereut, but the plot of the play is the same. The Alaska John Smith was not a titled j explorer when he fell into the hamls of the savages, nor was bis name John Smith. He was only a common, yellow-skinned sea cook. His name is Ah Wing, and there is noth- ! ing attractive abuut him. He is about a? j Homely a mi .ture of Chinaman and Malay pirate as could fie found in a day's walk. His Pucafiontas auswers to the name of Julie just now, but nobody knows what her Indian name was. Shu is a long way of being Pocahontas’ equal in beauty, and the •si wash features of generations were consoli dated w hen her face was made. Htill tbe romance is there. Ah Wing and Julie, now Mrs. Ah Wing, arrived here on a codfish schooner several months since, but have not gone into society jet. They reside on Ros alley, in China town, and submitted to an interview yester day. They only submitted to it, they did not lake part in it, and ‘when it came to securing the story of their love the reporter was obliged to obtain Ins information from a third partv, to whom Wing had confided it in explanation of his off-color bride. Ah Wing, some nine years ago, was a cook in the employ of the uavy department, and was shippe i north on the Jamestown. While on the Sitka station Wing's time ex pired or he deserted —just which is not quite plain—aud shipped aboard a whaler. The w haler was wrecked aud Wing was cast up on an inhospitable ice floe. Julie was the daughter of a chief of a tribe of Indians, and, while hunting with her father, discov ered Ah Wing, who was as near dead from starvation, cold, and exposure as it was pos sible for bim to be and retain life. For da vs and days Julie nurzed him, and he filially recovered, to find himself the object of a great deal of attention on the part of the Indians. They couid speak no Chinese or F.uglish, and Wiog had no comprehension of their dialect. He was at a loss to u der stand the solicitude with which they fed him and the interest they took in watching the accumulation of fat upon his ribs. At last tbe horrid truth dawned upon him —at least so he says. They were going to barbe cue and eat him. He attempted to escape, but was captured and returned to the village and put under guard. The fatal day arrived. Wing was informed by pantomime that an incision would be made iu his neck and his life fluid allowed to escape into a soapstone basin. He gave all up for lost, when he was in spired by the sight of Julie in tears. He made love to her. She comprehended and went to ask papa The old chief was fond of his daughter aud could refuse her noth ing- He issued an edict ag iinst baked Wtug. Tbe remainder of the village pro tested and the chief was obliged to state why he desired the stranger’s life preserved. The objectors gave in and Wing and Julie were married in Indian style. Wing lived with the tribe for some time, but never became very popular. He was not much of a hunter and preferred to lie around the house, sewing with the women, to chasing polar bears, walruses, seals, and the like. Finally he had a chance to escape. A boat’s crew came in from a schooner to trade for skius. Their cook was dead, and Wing begged them to take him away with them. Wing’s father-in-law gave him leave of absence f r three months aud sent Julie along with him to insure his return. They sailed away, and after much marine wandering anil transferring from one vessel to another, arrived in San Francisco. Wing had a taste for the needle and secured a job of tailoring. The faithful Julie proved an adeot, and shares Wing’s labors. They still find tome difficulty in conversing. Wing knows a few words of Euglish and a few of Indian. Julie knows a few of English and a few of Chinese. When their discussion beoomes animated they resort to all three languages at once, aud the talk Is very exciting There is a little Wing now, and he is learning ail three languages. Their home is on the too floor of a Ross alley tenement, where Julio is rapidly being converted into a Chinawoman by her fel low lodgers. She is quiet at all times, and Is presumably mourning for the freedom of her nativesnowfields. She does not go out boenuso the noise and the bustle of the streets frighten her. W ing’s leave of ab sence has long since expired, but in the con fines of civilization he has become the mas ter, and has no intention of returning to the land of his wife’s people. Julie will not live long here; she already shows signs of consumption, developed pre sumably by the unaccustomed foul air. Tbe story has been pretty well authenti cated, with the exception of the intention of the Indians to eat Wing after killing him. His own countrymen tto not believe this part of his story, but Wing adheres to it stoutly, and the strongest tie between him and his wife is his gratitude to her for sav ing him from such a fate. Voyagers to the far north state that they have heard of cannibalism among the In dians, but it has always been attributed to isolated instances of starvation’s necessity, aud not habit. ON WHAT DID IT FEED? Perhaps It Got Ita Board Out of the Log that Surrounded It. Fi-Oia the Chattanooga .Veins. The following is rela ed by Frank Wyatt of Rome, Ga., who has b?en visiting rela tives at Mart indale, ou the Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus railroad, about thirty miles south of Chattanooga. Frank used to attend Sunday senool regularly, and is considered a truthful boy, without much Mulhattonism flowing in his veins. Ho says: "My cousin owns a water mill, and in removing some obstructions found an ini men e log imbedded in tbe stream, which must have lie -n submerged for a number of years. The log hail to be cut in two to remove it. aid much to our surprise we fouud it hollow, although it had every appearauce of being solid. One of the negroes, > bile examining tho log, looked into the hollow and thought he saw some thing moving. He began using his axe, and soon had the log cut in two in anot .er pin e. “Imagine our amazement when we dis covered a live catfish which had grown to an enormous size aud length, and was so completely wedged in toe hollow as to be unable to move except to open its mouth and wiggle its tail. The fish was very lively and apparently in the enjoyment of excel lent health. “The question is how did the fish get into the log, as the only meins of ingress or egress we could discover was a small, round hole, not more than two inches in diameter. We surmised taat he must have entero 1 the little opening w hen no larger than a min now, ami grown great in his solitary con finement.” IK YOU WANT If you want a DAY BOOK MADE.

He agreed to consider the advisability of ac cepting the status quo in Bulgaria if the proposal ethanated from Bulgaria, and to withdraw troops from the frontier if Germany would set the example. He would connive at practical annexa tion of Bosnia and Herzegovina, provided Russia be allowed to exert pressure to pre vent radical changes in the government of Servia. He disclaimed any wish to interfere with Turkey, but proposed to hasten Armenian reforms by collective pressure of the powers. Anew commercial treaty be tween Russia and Germany was also dis cussed.
