Mr. John Uedrnond, the Parnellite

that the anti-Parnellite party is break

Operators of the North Georgia Road Only
Notlflod to I’ay Up*
Atlanta, July 10. —The attorney gen
eral says that the published statement
that he has entered snit against the les
sees of the North Georgia railroad and
their sureties is’entirely wrong.
The lessees defaulted some months
ago and the state took charge of the
road. The rental for one quarter was
then due aud snit, the attorney general
says, might have beou brought by this
time, but as a matter of fact no suoh
step has been taken. Return day is
still far off. There is plenty of time
and if the lessees default again when
another quarter’s rent is dne, one suit
oan be filed covering the whole amount
instead of two.
What has really been done is simply
to notify the parties that they most
come to time if they would avoid a
suit, the formal notice usual in such
cases.
Something over $8,000 may probably
be sned for, but as yet has not been.
TO RECALL MR. WU TING.

Washington. July 10.—Reports have

Prior to the visit of the prime minister
to this country, the minis er here

taken an active iuterest in American re
lations with China.
This is given as a reason why Lee
King Lee will be the new minister, be
cause the latter is at present chief clerk
of foreign affairs and cotnes. directly
under Li Hung Chang himself. He has
been connected with the judiciary and
with the diplomatic corps of China for
many years.

Pittsburg, July 10.—The decision of
the labor leaders at the conference in
this city to Bend organizers into West
Virginia and furnish funds to bring out
the miners in that state, practically
narrows down the strike to a fight be
tween the coal operators of West Vir
ginia and the labor anions of the coun
try. The cry of -auion miners will now
be with West Virginia in line the strike
wiU ultimately be successful. No money
or effort will be spared, it is said, to ac
complish the suspension of every mine
in the state. *
Special organizers will also be sent to

in this district are auxious to get the
miners of the New York aud Cleveland
Coal company out, aud iu several in

Coal is a very scarce article in the
Pittsburg market, aud it is impossible
lo buy it iu carload lots A represent a-
tive of an oil well drilling firm made
application for a carload and was told
by the operators that he coaid not get
it. He was advised to get a team of
horses and haul wbat he needs for pres
ent wants. The oil man said that if
fuel could not be procured it meant a
suspension of field work in thjs section.
Operators are makiug an effort to pro
tect contracts for future delivery. The
expenditure to- deliver on these con
tracts will entail a heavy loss and sev=
eral million dollars will be forfeited.
A prominent operator said that all the
oil will be cleaned np by the end of the
week and higher prices will be the re
sult next.
At Allenport the 200 men employed
in Vesta mine met and decided to strike
for disirict prices, aud work has been
suspended.
President Dolan, who is just back from

“There was not a speck of coal iu the

Myron T. Herrick, receiver, was nnpre-
pared to say whether the Wheeling and
Lake Erie railroad would haul West
Virginia coal. He had received advices
from Dillonvale that his miners are still
out, with no immediate prospect of their
return.

MeKtnlev to Take About 300 Places Oat
of the Classfied Service. *
Washington, July 10.—The president
and members of the civil servioe com
mission have had a number ot confer
ences recently on the question of a re
vision of the civil servioe rules so m to
exempt certain important plaoes which
were included in Mr. Cleveland's last
extension order. A final determination,
however, haa not been reached, but it is
altogether probable that about 800 plaoes
will be taken out of the classified ser- 1
vice, 4
These will include deputy collectors 1
of customs who are in charge of sub
stations, and deputy collectors of inter
nal revenue who have charge of the dis
tribution of revenue stamps. There are
approximately 150 of the plaoes in each
class. It is not proposed, however to
exempt the plaoes from examination.
Contrary to the nsual course, tentative
appointments will he made as needed
and the appointee will then be ordered
before the civil servioe commission for
examination as to his fitness. In ease
of failure to pass a satisfactory exami
nation, his name most be withdrawn
and another appointment made.
It is argued that positions whloh it is
proposed to restore to the excepted list
are of great importance, as the stations
of these officers are often far removed
from their ohief, who alone is responsi
ble for their acts, should have some
voice in their selection. Bonds fur
nished to the government by collectors
of customs and collectors of Internal
revenue cover all funds passing through
the hands of agents and deputies, and
it is contended that it is unjust to hold
a collector responsible for the honesty
of a man of whom he knows nothing.
It is possible that the president will
take action in the matter within the
next few days.

Negro Labor will Be Employed, Only
Foremen Being White Man.
Columbia, S. a, July 10.—The secre

bia, of the fall capacity of wlnoh this
capital will construct. The labor in the
mill is to be exdusively negro labor,
only the managers and foremen to be
white men.
“This corporation is being formed on
the plan of the Ada mills in Charlotte,
N. O., the subscriptions to be paid in
small amounts, weekly, on the princi
ple of the Building nnd Loan associa
tion, and it is very likely that the op
eratives themselves will, as in the Char
lotte mills, become stockholders to a
considerable extent.
Those who are interested in ‘the
formation of the company hope to have
the entire capital stock subscribed by
Oct. 1, when payments will commence,
and the mill will be constructed with
the company’s own means, so that it
will immediately become dividend bear
ing.”

FISHERMEN’S AWFUL FIND.
Tottof Woman** Hotljr 1)Ucovered la a
Creak Near Quitman.
Quitman, Ga., July la.—A ghastly
discovery was made about 15 miles front
here. Jacob Wooten and some friends,
while fishing on Mule creek, in the up
per part of the county, found a barrel
buried upright in the mud and contain
ing a hum&n body.' The body had been
cot into blocks, placed in the barrel and
mud had beeu thrown iu, filling the
barrel, whioh was then headed and
buried.
Wooten and his friends first removed
the head of the barrel and then the dirt,
whioh had formed into a hard cake, and
to their horror beheld a switch of hu
man hair, neatly plaited, about 2 feet ,
iu length, soft and black and evidently
belonging to the head of a yonng white
woman.
Next pieces of flesh and clothing were
takeh ont, all in a fairly good state of
preservation. The flesh, while partly
decomposed and giving forth a disa
greeable odor, had dried and the skin
sad a mummified appearance. The dresi
was checked homespun, while there
was a knit undervest and an underskirt
of bleached homespun, machine made.
The identity of the corpse and every. v
thing connected with it are shrouded
in mystery. The swamp in which the
body was found is a dense jnpgle, and
the spot where the barrel was unearthed
is a mile or more from any house. The
neighborhood is thinly settled.
