THE VIENNA PROGRESS. V TERMS, $1. Per Annnnu “Hew to the Line, Let the Chips Fall Where They May." JOBS E. HOWELL, Editor and Proprietor. VOL. XII. NO. 48 VIENNA, GA., TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 1894. PUBLISHED WEEKLY. The United States produce annually SUMMA [>Y QP NEWS 1 THREATS AGAINST ENGINEERS forty-six million tons of hay. i ' x ‘ Italy’s Foreign Minister cogently reasons that war is improbable be cause no European sovereign wants it and public opinion is against it. Holland puts all beggars to work at farming, whether they like it or not, and there is less of that sort of thing in that country than in any other civ ilized country in the world. Canon Wilberforce, in a recent in terview published in the Westminstei Gazette, contends that the lower ani mals are immortal, and uses his belief ns an argument against the establish ment of a Pasteur institute in Eng land. CONDENSATION OF INTEREST ING OCCURRENCES At hich Happen From Day to Day Throughout the Busy World. ‘Tf it is true, as the.Census Bureau alleges,” asks the Chicago Record that there are 100,000 more married men in the country than there ar6 married women, what, in the name of Hymen, are those 100,000 men mar ried to?” The native Russian peasantry oi Esthonia and Livonia, now numbering altogether about 1,500,000, have sent thirteen deputation to St. Petersburg to celebrate the seventy-fifth anni versary ol their emancipation by the Emperor Alexander I. According to the Chicago Herald all the United States Senators from the States south of the Potomac served in the Confederate armies e cept Irby, of South Carolina, and Blanchard, of Louisiana, who were too young then for military service. At the annual meeting of tha Han- nemann Hospital Association in Phil adclphia the other day an interestin explanation of the crowded condition of the hospital was made. Secretary Lewis said the institution had been crowded beyond its capacity, and the number of typhoid fever cases was in excess of all previous years. This condition the physicians ascribe to the business depression and conse quent worry of men over financial matters. The death of David Dudley Field, the eminent New York jurist, recalls to the Philadelphia Ledger the most remarkable story of four famous brothers, all of whom led useful lives. Cyrus West Fields, one of these brothers, who died in 1S92, was the projector of the Atlantic cable; David Dudley Fieid distinguished himself as a lawyer and acquired a national repu tation by his codification of the laws of New York. Other brothers are Su preme Court Justice Stephen J. Field and Dr. Henry M. Field, the editor of the Evangelist. They were sons of a poor, but distinguished Berkshire clergyman, who managed to give three of his sons a collegiate education, of which they made excellent use. Officials of the United States Navy Department have found a curious typographical error in the.Beryig.Se? law recently passed by Congress, and are wondering what its effect may be. It is feared, states the New Orleans Picayune, that it may invalidate the whole law-. The award of the Paris Tribunal prohibited the capture ol seals^it alt times within a zone of sixty miles round the Pribyloff Islands, “inclusive” of the territorial waters. ' The bill, as introduced by Mr. Mor gan, Chairman on the Senate Com mittee on Foreign Kelations, con tained the correct phraseology, but when it was printed the types ma le the word “exclusive,” and the bill was so passed. What the legal effect of the error may be still remains to be seen, but some people think that the Senate will have to reconsider its work and pass the bill again formally before it will be properly operative. There ie a good deal of red tape about legal matters. NATIONAL CAPITAL. NEWS AND GOSSIP OF WASH INGTON CITY. Brief Notes Concerning the Business of Our Government.

The Kansas state populist conven tion in session at Topeka renominated Governor Llewelling nnd nominated D. L Furbeck for lientenant governor. The platform contains a woman suffra gist plank. At a mass meeting of miners of Oglesby, Peru and La Salle, Ohio, was resolved to accept nothing less than last year’s prices. Resolutions were also adopted denouncing the Co lumbus delegates and demanding the resignation of President McBride and others who were parties to the compro mise agreement. The funeral services over the re mains of Cyrus Field took place at New York Tuesday morning in the Church of the Incarnation, at Twenty- fifth street and Madison avenue. The Rev. Dr. Brooks officiated. The re mains were taken by special train to North Adams, Mass., where they will be interred in the family plot. The Massillon, O., district miners have adopted resolutions denouncing Governor McKinley for sending state troops “foi the purpose of assisting the coal and railroad operators to de feat the miners in nn honest effort to maintain living wages.” The basis of the strike settlement has been received by the miners of the district with mutterings of discontent. The consolidation of three national banks of Deadwood, S. D., has been made, the Merchants’ National and the Deadwood National turned their assets nnd deposits over to the First National nnd closed their doors. Failure to make money and the possession of con siderable nnd almost worthless security are assigned ns the causes of the clos ing of the two institutions.

Senator Gordon has introduced the Atlanta exposition bill in the senate and it has been referred to the commit tee on education and labor. Senators Gordon and Walsh will urge the com mittee to act upon it at once and both are sanguine that it will be attached to the sundry civil bill by the senate. The senate spent all of Tuesday in long-winded set speeches. The weather is intensely warm at Washington and the senate chamber was of the temper ature of a Imkeoven. In consequence very few senators remained inside. The hot weather, more than anything else, is making both sides become anxious to get through with the tariff work.

It The rapid development of the life insurance business of this country is one of the most remarkable economic facts of the time, asserts Frank Les lie’s Weekly. “And as indicating the growth of a provident spirit and habit among our people, it is a fact of im mense significance. Some conception of the magnitude of this interest ie afforded by the returns of the thirty- two old style life insurance companies now doing business in this State. The total amount of premiums paid into these companies last year was $192,- 706,838. The death claims paid dur ing the year amounted to$75,903,820. The surplus, as regards policy holders, held by these companies at the begin ning of the present year was $116,. 549,186. These figures leave no room for doubt as to the steadily increasing popularity of life insurance as a means of assuring reasonable protection against the accidents and adverse fortunes of life to those who would otherwise be defenseless. It is no doubt true that the cost of insurance in some of the standard companies is excessive, and that the business could be safely and profitably conducted at Bauch lower charges to the policy holder, but even at the extravagant rates sometimes exacted, the life in surance system offers advantages whiiffy few persons with others de- peedenf upon them can afford to dis- laboring men of all classes. • Opposed to this great confederation of laboring J men are the American Federation of Labor, tha Brotherhood of Locomo tive Engineers, the Brotherhood of Firemen nnd all kindred orders ; working on the class organization basis. EFFORTS AT CONSOLIDATION. Delegates of Labor Organizations Hold a Joint Conference. The joint conference between the heads of the Knights of Labor and American Federation of Labor, which is confidently expected will cement the two great labor organizations with bonds of lasting friendship and include all other great labor organizations, such as the various railway organiza tions, the Farmers’ Alliance and other bodies not iu strict accord with tho knights and federation, began at St. Louis, Mo., Monday morning. The conference was called to order by General Master Workman Sov ereign. The organizations represented are the Knights of Labor, American Federation of Labor, Brotherhood of Engineers, Firemen and Brakemen, Federation of Railway Trainmen, Or der of Railway Conductors and Farm ers’ Alliance. The details of the conference were not given out, but it is learned from a reliable source that the speakers do not favor amalgamation of the differ ent trades and labor organizations. They advocated, however, harmonious union and concerted action in all mat ters concerning their mutual benefit and for tbe purpose of the protection of labor against capital. It believes was constantly tryiDg to inject the ories where common sense should pre vail. Indian inspectors, he said, now performed the identical service which the commission is required to perform, and the fund appropriated to the com mission is principally spent in main taining an office and paying the sala ries of men who have absolutely noth ing to do. By a large majority the house sustained Judge Maddox ana struck the clause from the bill. LAWLESSNESS IN ALABAMA. The Railroads Ask United States Au thorities for Protection. A Birmingham, Ala., special says: Deeds of lawlessness are kept up and depredations are still being com mitted by bands of lurking strikers. The shadow of anarchy still hangs over the state and not only property, but life, is in danger’ Bridge burn ing is still kept up. Wednesday a mob of armed strikers went to a bridge qpon the Richmond and Danville railroad and made an at tempt to burn it. They were discov ered by guards and driven away. The band left and hurried down the track about three hundred yards, where they saturated another bridge and set it ou fire. About three miles from this place an attempt was made to blow up a large bridge with dynamite. Thursday upon request from the Georgia Pacific’s attorney, Judge Bruce issued an order instructing the L'nited States marshal to protect the property of the road, at all hazards. The road is now under the protection of the United - . States government and if necessary that the conference will agree that all j government troops will be called into labor organizations shall bind them- | service. The entire district is iu an 6elyes to aboye. agreement as outlined governor. A Jackson, Miss., special says: Hon. W. II.

The one hundredth commencement of the University of Tennessee was held at Knoxville, TeDn., Wednesday, and was largely attended. The year just closed has been one of the most prosperous in the history of the insti tution. Dr. W. T. Briggs, one of the most eminent surgeons in the country, died at Nashville Wednesday morning,aged sixty-five years. Dr. Briggs has writ ten several valuable works on surgery, and was one of tho fonuders of and ex-president of the American Medical Association. Tho prohibitionists of Tennessee held their convention at Nashville Wednesday to nominate candidates for governor and the supreme bench. The indications are that they will en dorse the populists’ candidate for the governorship, A. L. Mimms, who is a prohibitionist. S. C. Griffith a prominent young business man of Tampa, Fla., was struck on the temple Tuesday by a baseball and soon died from the effects of the blow. His skull was fractured. Griffith was at the hat when the ball struck him. The pitcher has not been arrested as it was purely accidental. The Texas state republican league club convention convened at Fort Worth Tuesday. Delegates were pres ent from all over the state. A full state ticket will be put in the field. The republican state executive com rnittce decided to hold n republican convention on Tuesday, August 27th, at Dallas. All miners in Coal Creek snd Brice- ville districts resumed work Wednes day. This includes tliedijaek diamond, ojierntcd mines, which worked but very few men since the strike began. Tho miners returned to work at the old scale. A great number of objec tionable miners were discharged. It is believed now that the strike is at an end. The tax payers of Chattanooga and Hamilton county, Tenn., are agitating the^question of reducing the tax assess ments, both in the city and county. A number of petitions are nofir being cir culated, nnd largely signed. The peti tions state that real estate tallies and revenues have shrunk 40 per cent in Chattanooga in the Iasi two years, and a corresponding reduction in the tax assessment is, therefore, asked for. In the supreme court-, at Tallahassee, Fla., Attorney General Lamar has had a motion entered on the docket for the advancement of the case of N. B. Bro ward vs. the Duval Athletic Club. After ten day’s notice the appellees (the club), on motion of Mr. Lamar, the court will take the matter under advisement.

Vance came to Asheville Wednes day and had the body of the senator removed from the Vance family plot in the cemetery, where it Was origi nally buried to a plot she had bought the day the senator was buried. Chas. M. Vance, son of the senator, and his private secretary during his life, ar rived in Asheville Saturday, had the body again disinterred and reburied in the family plot. Young Vance declares that it was his father’s dying request that his body should be buried in this plot, which the senator had bought aud beautified during his life, and that bis wife’s body (young Vance’s mother) should be placed beside him. Vance says that he is determined that his father’s wishes shall be obeyed if the law has to be invoked in order to carry them out. The plot of ground to which Mrs. Vance had the senator’s body removed is a hill top, the mOsc beautiful and commanding spot in thecemetery, and her object in placing the senator’s body was the fitness of the site for the erection of a great monument to the senator’s memory by the people of the state. Mrs. Vance is a Catholic, and when it was found that the senator waB dying a priest was about to perform the last sacrament, when Charles N. Vance in- terferred. Senator Vance was a Prot estant, and, it is said, had requested that none of the rites of the Catholic church be allowed over him. Young Vance said he would permit his father’s body to be removed to the plot secured by Mrs. Vance provided his first wife’s- body be placed beside the senator’s, but this Mrs. Vance de clined to agree to. to be so generally observed as to war rant its continuance, it shall be abro gated, and both parties thereto ab solved from contract obligations here in set forth. When miners desire, they shall be permitted to elect and place on the table check weighmen of their own choice. Wages shall be paid on above scale semi-monthly. All bal ances due on pay day shall be paid in cash. An interstate board of arbitra tion and conciliation,consisting of four Operators and four mineis, shall con sider nnd determine upon any inequity eomplanied of as between the different fields named in the above schedule of prices.” Telegrams received from the centers of Ohio show that the miners are ex tremely indignant over the compro mise settlement of the strike and there may be an organized movement led by President A. A. Adams in resistance to the order to go to work. State officials are afraid now that the miners will be more difficult to control than before. OUT OF JAIL. Wyman’s Trial Begins.

No demonstration attended their departure. They shook hands with the deputy warden and watch officers, thanked them for their considerate treatment and entered a carriage, driven by Oklahoma Sam, drawn by four commonweal horses. At the district line the wealers from the camp were drawn up in line to receive the distinguished party. They unhitched the horses and themselves hauled the leaders to the camp. Coxey and Browne spoke dur ing the afternoon, Coxey said it now looked aB though the men might ex tend their stay at the capital into the Winter. He said he was going to make an address on the 4th of July at Knoxville, Ky., for which he would be paid $250. He also had other engagements to speak during the present month. A census of the camp Saturday showed 584 men present. In speaking of his chances for election to congress, Mr. Coxey said that he was not acquainted with the situation of affairs in the Massillon district, as he had not been at home for about three months. Ad vices received from friends there, how ever, indicated that he would be suc cessful. ^ PANAMA IN FLAMES. The City Nearly Destroyed- Loss of Three Million Dollars. The greatest calamity that has ever befallen Panama was a fire which started Wednesday afternoon nnd burned fiercely for nine hours before it wss gotten under control. The flames were finally subdued after hav ing destroyed over 300 buildings in the most thickly populated section of the city, including the prefecture and the Chinese quarters. The loss of property amounts to nearly $3,000,000. The insurance is estimated at only about$600,000. One- third of the area of the city is devasta ted and 5,000 persons are rendered homeless. The fire burned nearly every building on Lastablas, Juan Ponce, Lastamas, Salisfudes and Es- panadas streets. The city market was saved. WOMEN CAX’T VOTE. The Supreme Court of New Jersey De clares a New Law Unconstitutional. The state supreme court has decided that women had no right to vote iu New Jersey, and that wherever they exercised the right of suffrage it was an illegal assumption of power. The decision came up in connection with a proceeding to oust from office the road overseer of Englewood township, Ber gen county. The court says that, the right to vote can be conferred by the constitution alone and under tbe ecu. . ritution, the privilege is confined to } ’» citiTieBa.

Advices from Tangier state that By- order of the new sultan of Morocco the chiefs and princes of the army who have expressed themselves as opposed to the succession of Abdnl Aziz have been removed from their commands. Some of them have been assigned to stations in tbe interior and some have been imprisoned. The late sultan pro vided in his will for a regency council during tbe minority of his son, Abdul Aziz. A special from New York says: The reorganization plan of the Georgia Central, now about ready for publica tion, provides, it is said, for an issue of $15,000,000 of 5 per cent mortgage bonds which will be used to take up the tripartite and other bonds, the floating debt and also to be given fora small assessment to be levied on the stock. Preferred stock is to be issued to take up the bonds and stocks which do not receive the new first mortgages. TRADE NOTES. Business of the Past Week as Re viewed by Dun & Co. R. G. Dan & Co.’s review of trade for the past week says: “The outlook for business seems a little better on the whole, though the change is not great. Moreover, it is impossible to distinguish between tbe mere replace ment or orders canceled for want of fuel or other causes, and the new bus iness for which works are anxiously looking. That cancellations have been heavy is certain, and it is not entirely clear that orders of equal magnitude have gone to other works that are able to fill them. Through the agency of strikes the interruption of industry and com merce increases every week. Hence, it is somewhat encouraging that the de crease in payments through clearing houses is but 24.3 per cent for the first week of Jane, 27.2 at New York, but only 19.4 elsewhere. The decrease in comparison with 1892 is abont 90 per cent. With only 2,937 coke oven work ing and 14,576 idle, with the Cambria discharging half its force, seven out of nine of the Carnegie furnaces at Besse mer out of .blast, tbe production and manufacture of iron and steel are smaller than at any other time for years. While it is believed that de ferred work will cause heavy produc tion after the strike terminates, the demand for product is at present much below general expectation even at the east. Other industries have been le3s affected, but malf of textile mills, even in New 'England, have now been closed for lack of fuel or of or ders, besides other concerns in great numbers between the Atlantic and the Mississippi river. “The market for goods is dull and weak, with further reductions in price, and stocks visible accumulating. The banks here continue to receive from the interior abont as much money as they lose by gold exports, though the crop-moving season is close at hand. Customs receipts are again 36 per cent, less than a year ago, and inter nal revenue 23 per cent less for the week. Exports of domestic products have been exceeding last year’s a little. “The returns of failures are still en couraging, 216 in the United States for the week, against 322 last year, and 40. in Canada, against 27 last year. The liabilities in all failures reported in the month of May were $13,305,357, abont $5,420,000 at the east, $4,500,000 at the south and $3,400,000 at the west. Of the aggregate, $5,165,025 wa8 of manufacturing, and £6.883,499 o! trading concerns. ” * • I TO MAKE MUSTABt?.

However, if you are where yon_ cannot procure this, it may bj prepared in the following manner: White—To ten pounds of best whiting nse li pounds of white glue, half a pound alnm andai little ultramarine blue. Put the glue in cold water, set it on the fire and stir nntil dissolved. Put a half a gallon of hot water over the whiting, and when dissolved add the glue, the blue and the alum, which must also be dissolved in hot water. Stir the mixture well end run through a sieve. For first coating this may be used while hot, but the other coats must be cold. If your color works too stiff, a little soap will help. All colors and shades are made by adding the dry colors. Before kalsomining, the cracks and nail holes should he filled with plaster of paris. Mix this with paste, and it will not dry so quickly. If yon have a good brash and work as quickly as possible to avoid laps, you will have a good job of kalsomining. A nice stencil border run around the top of the wall makes a neat finish.

A dispatch from Hartford, Conn., says: Warden Woodbridge, of tho Connectiont state prison, has placed in the new execution house an improved gallows, by which a condemned man becomes his own executioner. By stepping on the drop he starts a flow of water. The weight of the water finally releases the spring which holds the drop. Jack Cronin has been sen tenced to die by this machine on Au gust 2d. At the session of the state board of charities, Dr. A. W. Tracy, president of the board, presented his written protest against the hanging of Cronin by Warden WoodbiiJge’** contrivance. Dr. Tracy argues that it is illegal, because tbe law cannot com pel a man to be his own executioner or a suicide. The law, he says, requires that an officer charged with executing the senten'ce shall perform his duty and not shift any part of it to the victim. MARRIED A NEGRO.
