The New 7 St. Mary’s Roman Catholic church, just completed at a cost of $300,000, was destroyed. The parson age was one of the first buildings thoroughly gutted by the flames. A costly new’ parochial school, which had never been used, was also destroyed. A New York special of Sunday says: Joseph Jefferson is seriously ill. Mr. Jefferson’s physicians have been for some time baffled by his disease, which is attributed partly to carelessness in treatment or a boil that appeared some time ago. It cun be stated positively that radical measures must speedily be resorted to if America’s great comedian is not soon to go the way of Edwin Booth. Monday morning the Ohio Well Supply Company, operating in Ohio oil fields at Findlay, Fostoria, Ma rietta, Kissing Sun, Yan Wert and Pittsburg, Pa., went into the hands of a receiver xrpon application of Edward H.

This is the hottest weather recorded for eight years. No rain for nine weeks now. Buffalo is surrouuded by forest fires. To the southwest, twenty miles, fires have been burning with more or less intensity since July 7th. Joseph Jefferson, the actor, was seen by a United Press reporter at his villa at Buzzard’s Bay, Mass. .Monday morn ing and shown the published dispatch which stated that he was dying from cancerous affection of the throat. Jef ferson laughed heartily when he read the item and said: “You may deny the story. It is absolutely false. I never was in better health and spirits than at the present time and have en tirely recovered from my recent indis position.” A dispatch from Tallequah, I. TANARUS., states that Bud Smith, Charles Plot ner and “Shorty” Wile, pals of the notorious Henry Starr, were captured at a point near Cherokee late Friday night.

AN OMINOUS WAR-CLOUD. Tie Mniile Between France ani Siam Approaching; a Crisis, Siam’s Obstinate Resistance Said to Be Due to English Influence. A special cablegram of Monday from Paris says: M. Develle had a long conference with the premier deputy all day Sunday. Only at the last minute was it decided to impart to the press Siam’s reply Rnd the government’s decision. It is stated that M. Develle has notified Admiral Humann to pro ceed at once to declare a blockade. The Freneh government has not yet notified the powers of the intention of France to blockade the Menam river. It is stated that M. Pavie, the French minister to Siam, has been ordered to leave Bangkok within twenty-four hours time. Advices from Bangkok aie to the ef fect that M. Pavie, French Minister Resident, handed France’s ultimatum to Prince Devawongse, Siamese Minis ter of Foreign affairs, on Friday. At the same time he informed the Siam ese government that in case France’s demands should be resumed he w’ould at once leave Bangkok to board the gunboat Forfait. The blockade of the Siamese coast, he added, w’ould be de clared at once. THE rOAVERS NOTIFIED. The French government has notified the powers that it intends to establish a blockade of the Siamese coast, with out prejudice to other measures that may be taken with the object of secur ing to France the guarantees to which she is entitled. The French govern ment will make arrangements with an other government for the protection of French subjects in Siam during the absence from Bangkok of M. Pavie, the French minister. READY FOR A FIGHT. The Bangkok correspondent of the London Daily Ch ronicle telegraphs that paper as follows: “The Siamese war ships are anchor ed one mile from the French, and are crowded with men, ready for action. Their intention is, in case the French commence hostilities, to steam dow r n and ram the French gunboats, attempt ing to board them by force and attack their crews with fixed bayonets.” ATTACKED BY STRIKERS. Desperate Conflict Between Miners in Weir City, Kansas. A special from Weir City, Kan., says: The expected crisis has come in the miners’ strike. Miners who are willing to work quietly and peaceably have been attacked by the strikers, and blood has been shed. The feeling which has been growing more and more bit ter for several days culminated in a fierce battle at Clement’s pit, twelve miles south of the city, Thursday. All day there was evidence of an approach ing storm, and the feeling was uni versal that serious trouble was at hand. Over one hundred shots were fired, and it is nothing short of a miracle that nobody was killed. One man was wounded in the forehead and in the leg, a boy in the foot and one of the women got a bullet through her arm. None of the wounds are fatal, and it is believed that none of them are dan gerous. A number on both sides were badly beaten up with clubs and club bed guns. The wounded were quick ly removed by their friends and their names have not been learned. Just before noon a band of 500 of the strikers, headed by 100 women, which had been marching to the va rious strip pits, reached Clement’s pits and sent in a committee to per suade the working miners there to quit. The miners refused to do this, and when the committee reported the entire body of marchers moved on the workers to force them out. The strip men were ready for them, and when the trespass line was passed, they were fired upon, and a general battle en sued, iu which Winchester rifles, pis tols and clubs were used. As the result of the battle the men in the strip were routed by the strik ers and were forced to flee for their lives, pursued by the how-ling mob, which would have lynched them had they been caught. The excitement continues at a high pitch, and further bloodshed now seems inevitable. AINSWORTH INDICTED. The Grand Jnry Places the Blame for the Ford Theater Horror. The grand jury at Washington, Monday, found a true bill against Colonel Frederick C. Ainsworth, chief of record and pension division of the war department; George W. Dant, a contractor, who was employed to make an excavation for an electric light plant; William E. Covert, superinten dent, and Francis Sasse, engineer of the building, holding them responsi ble for the Ford theater disaster of June 9th last, in which twenty-three per sons lost their lives and a large num ber of others were injured. It is un derstood that the defendants will not be arraigned for some days yet, as their trial cannot take place before the September term of the court. The grand jury formally find that in the manner described in the indictment the accused did wilfully kill and slay the persons whose deaths are under investigation. After the Lynchers. A Memphis, Tenn., dispatch states that the lynching of Lee Walker, the rapist, and the subsequent burning of the body and other attrocities, is viewed with great indignation in that city, and Sheriff McLendon is severe ly criticised for his criminal lack of firmness by the press and people. Monday morning Judge Scruggs sus pended the sheriff, pending an inves tigation, and the coroner was placed in charge of his office. The grand jury has been called to meet in special session, and a few bench warrants have been issued for the arrest of the ring leaders, THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH. Notes ot Her Progress ani Prosperity Briefly Epitomized And Important Happenings from Day to Day Tersely Told. The Citizens’ bank, of Jellico,Tenn., the only banking institution at that place, failed to open for business Fri day. No figures are known. Atlanta’s new’ bridge, spanning the railroads at Forsyth street, was open ed to the public Saturday with appro priate ceremonies. The structure is a magnificent one costing over $140,- 000. About 500 negroes were shipped from Birmingham, Ala., Sunday night to Leavenworth, Kas. It is proposed to replace strikers with them. Agents of the mine owners will endeavor to procure 1,000 more negroes. With a reward of $l5O outstanding for his capture and with half the offi cers in Georgia eagerly watching for the sight of him, Harry Hill, the for ger, rode into Atlanta on a sleeping car Friday morning and gave him self up to the sheriff. The third anuual regiment of Ala bama state troops with Colonel W. H. Tinsdale in command, went into camps at Oxford Lake near Anniston, Friday. Eleven companies comprising about four hundred men are in attendance. The camp was named Camp Holtzclaw in memory of Gen. J. T. Holtzclaw, who died a few days ago. A special from Bristol, Tenn., says: The double tunnel on the Louisville and Nashville railroad near Bigstone Gap, Va., caved in completely Friday afternoon. The tunnel is 600 feet long and it is estimated that it will re quire a week to clear it. All travel for the W. & T. via the Clinch valley division of the Norfolk and Western is intercepted. The Llano Improvement and Fur niture company, of Llano, Texas, went into the hands of a receiver Monday upon the application of the North Texas National bank, of Dallas. The liabilities of the company amount to SBO,OOO, and its assets $1,000,000. The company is unable to raise money due, and a receivership was thought best to ease up its difficulties and tide over the present hard times. Henry Singleton, who murdered Lula Payne in the penitentiary at Jackson, Miss., a few’ days ago, has been indicted for murder and will be tried at the present term of court if his condition will permit it. Single ton is now serving a sentence for mur der. His case will perhaps be the on ly one on record where a life convict has ever before been tried before court for murder. The great driving wheel of the Memphis, Tenn., electric power ex ploded into hundreds of pieces Fri day, tearing up the building and kill ing Engineer Pat McDermott instant ly. The wheel w r as four feet across, fifteen feet in diameter and weighed 2,700 pounds. It became wild from some unknow’n cause, revolving at an incredible rate, and before it could be stopped the explosion resulted from centrifugal force. A Raleigh special of Friday says'! The populists have arranged for a se ries of speeches by General J. B. Wea ver and Congressman Tom Watson in North Carolina next month. Weaver opens at Lilesville August sth ; Watson at Aulander August 3d. The populists are earnestly at work. They have practically captured the alliance, it is stated, nearly all delegates to the alli ance state convention next month be ing chosen from their ranks. A Jackson, Miss., special says: The case of the state revenue agent vs. the Georgia Pacific railroad was adjusted Saturday, after several days, consulta tion. Under the adjustment the state and several counties through which the road passes receive, in taxation, $40,- 000 annually for ten years, ending in 1902; aggregating $440,000 for this period. The road claimed exemption from taxation, and, by yielding $70,- 000, the state made a certainty of over $400,000, excluding municipal taxes. James M. Dowling, cashier of the local United States mint in New r Or leans, w r as arrested Thursday after noon, upon affidavits sw'orn to by W. G. Forsyth, an operative in the secret service of the government, charging him with the embezzlement of $25,- 000. The accused was arraigned be fore United States Commissioner Wright and placed under SIO,OOO bond. The arrest of Cashier Dowling is the outgrow’th of a fire which took place in the mint on June 24th. The furnaces and other properties of the Woodstock Iron Company at An niston, Ala., w’ere sold Saturday at clerk and master’s sale to John B. Knox for the bondholders, at $400,000. The company has been in the hands of receivers for several months, and it is understood that the purchase by the bondholders means a general straight ening out of the company. The prop erty sold embraces four furnaces and several thousand acres of iron ore lands. A Raleigh. N. C., special sovs: The railway commission, on Saturday,com pleted its assessment of railway prop erty in North Carolina for the year ending June 30th. It shows that there are 2,571 miles of road, and that only 39 miles were built during the year, though five new roads are under way. The Richmond and Danville, has 1,128 miles, Atlanta Coast Line 715, Sea Board Air Line 667. There are 71 roads. The total assessed value is twenty-four million dollars. The Kentucky National bank, at Louisville, capital $1,000,000, sus pended payment Saturday. There was no excitement. It is thought the bank will be able to resume business in a short time. It has been carrying an immense amount of paper, which, although giltedged, could not be real ized. The bank is the government depository and in the statement of the bank published July 19th, the govern ment’s deposits are placed at $191,- 781.83, Deposits of United States disbursing officer, $318,268.17. The Louisville, Ky., City National bank suspended payment at 1.20 o’clock Monday afternoon. The bank has a capital of $400,000. Three years ago W. H. Pope, its teller, fled with over $70,000, and this was a hard blow’ to the bank. Bank Examiner Escott has been placed in charge. Depositors will be paid in full. The bank was chartered in 1865 and re ehartered in 1885. It was pretty generally known as Lerche’s bank. Its individual deposits were over $222,000, and on Monday its cash was reduced to $14,000. BUSINESS REVIEW. Report of Trade For the Past Week ay Dun & Co* R. G. Dun & Cos. ’s weekly review of trade says: During the past week the country has stood surprisingly well an extraordinary strain. The failure of many banks and firms has come des pite the relaxation in eastern and some western money markets. Den ver banks were overthrown largely by the crazy unwisdom of the people, but in most cases statements show the banks in a healthy condition, and there has been since noticed more readiness to extend accommodation. Under all conditions it is astonish ing that business has been so well maintained with so little evidence of unsoundness. Even w’hile cotton and woolen mills were working over time on past orders, the scantiness of new orders was noticed, with the great frequency of cancellation. Close ob servers say wholesale dealers find lees encouragement to buy. In dry goods cancellations are still numerous and orders are small. Some improvement is seen in dress goods. Sales of wool are remarkablv small. Wheat has fallen 2 cents; corn, 1 cent; pork products and oil are low’d’. In place of the expected advance in sugar a decline has come, and cotton, after some advance, recedes again. Receipts of wheat at the west are moderate and exports fairly large, but unprecedented stocks are pressed for sale. The stock market closed last week hopefully, but prices had reach ep the lowest average since 1884. Lon don and short sellers then bought and some recovery has followed. At Phil adelphia the banks are holding cur rency and strengthening themselves. An easier feeling prevails at Pitts burg in iron. The Cincinnati money market is easier, and Cleveland reports the grocery trade as good, but iron wholly inactive. Toronto notes a bet ter feeling; Indianapolis, no improve ment, but the banks in strong position and doing a quiet business with the outlook not vej’y cheerful. Chicago reports 19 per cent decrease in clearings, 25 in real estate sales, a good demand for loans, but more freedom in lending and better feeling. Receipts of products are 45 per cent larger for corn and 30 for w’ool, but most of the other articles decreased —7O per cent in wheat, 50 in dressed beef and 28 in cattle. At Milwaukee the closing of some manufacturers and the reduction of wages in others and the failure of the great iron syndicate are noticted. At St. Paul trade is re stricted. At Minneapolis lumber sales are reduced and the sales of flour be low the output. Omaha trade is good and St. Joseph fair. Receipts of cattle are light at Kan sas City. Denver trade is demoral ized, but noAv more hopeful and the many reported assignments are re garded as a measure of protection. St. Louis reports business good in volume and character, but trade is retarded by closeness of money. Money is tight at Little Rock, but the strain is borne remarably well. THE SOUTHERN MARKETS. At Nashville trade is fair, at Atlan ta backward, at Macon a better de mand is seen, at Augusta retail trade fair and Columbus business is a shade better. New’ Orleans finds the trade someAvhat improved, banks very con servative, sugar weak and crop pros pects excellent. At Galveston crop reports are less encouraging, but at Mobile better. At Jacksonville cred its are cautious and at Charleston crop prospects are poor. The treasury has been paying gold to the banks, In.'ii on the whole increasing its holdings. Exports of products are a little larger than a year ago, but import sales are large. The failures during the past w r eek number 467 in the United States, against 168 last year, and tw’enty-fh’e in Canada, against nineteen, tAvo fail ures being of capital exceeding $500,- 000 and 101 others capital exceeding $5,000 each. Last week the failures in the United States numbered 374. A BIG MORTGAGE Amounting to $14,500,000 to Be Fore closed Against the Georgia Pacific. Judge Henry B. Tompkins, as attor ney for tho Central Trust company of New York, filed a bill in the United States court at Atlanta, Ga., Thurs day to foreclose a mortgage of $14,- 500,000 against the Georgia Pacific Railroad company. This is for the foreclosure of the issue of second mort gage bonds and does not affect the first mortgage bonds on the Georgia Pacific. * Similar bills will be filed in the United States circuit court at Bir mingham and at Aberdeen, Miss., un der the same foreclosure proceedings. The object of this foreclosure under the second mortgage bonds is to wipe out everything but the first mortgage bonds, so that the Georgia Pacific can be put in the reorganization with all the property of the Richmond and Danville now being carried out by Drexel, Morgan & Cos., of New York. " A NEwTaNK With $500,000 Capital Opened in New York by AVells, Fargo & Cos. An Albany, N. Y., special says: Su perintendent Preston, of the state banking department, Thursday issued a certificate of authorization to Wells, Fargo & Cos. ’s bank to transact a dis count and deposit business in New York city. The capital stock is $500,- 000, divided into SIOO a share. The capital stock is paid in cash. The bank, besides starting with $500,000 paid in capital, has a surplus of $500,- 000, each share of stock having been sold to the subscribers at S2OO. The Wells-Fargo Express Company already have a bank at San Francisco and one at Salt Lake City. Always put the meat in boiling water to preserve its juices.

Never both be angry at the same time. Never meet without a loving wel come. Let self-denial be the daily aim and practice of each. Never talk at one another, either in company or when alone. Never let the sun go down upon any anger or grievance. Neglect the whole world beside rather than one another. Let each one strive to yield often most to the wishes of .the other. Never make a remark at the expense of the other—it is meanness. Never part for a day without loving words to think of during absence. Never find fault unless it is perfectly certain that a fault has been commit ted, and always speak lovingly. The very nearest approach to domes tic happiness on earth is the cultiva tion on both sides of absolute unself ishness. Never let any fault you have commit ted go by unless you have frankly con fessed it and asked forgiveness. What Becomes of Ciohl and Silver, Between 1859 and 1889, 30 years, or less than half one lifetime, India has absorbed £117,000,000 in gold and £227,000,000 in silver, or £344,000,000 in all. What has become of the silver we do not exactly know, though it is certain that a. great proportion of it is hoarded as fixed and valuable wealth, but about the destination of the gold there is no doubt whatever. The peo ple have got the whole of it in their own hands, for it is not in circulation, and are using it either in ornaments, kept, be it observed, to pawn in ex tremity, or as hoarded treasure in coin, such as lies under almost every peas ant’s floor in the Punjab and eastern Bengal. India is a treasure house of gold, yet a man may live 50 years in the British provinces and never see an ounce. —London Spectator. A Popular Fallacy. Vegetarians say it is a popular fallacy that meat is needed for strength. One prominent exponent of the faith says it is a fact that the strongest ani imals in the world are vegetarian and not carnivorous. It is the ferocity of the lion rather than hie strength that makes him formidable. An elephant is a match for several lions, and is a vegetarian. The animals with most speed and endurance —the horse, the reindeer, the antelope and others—are also vegetarians. Dog trainers, says this authority, always feed their trick animals on a strictly vegetarian diet, and many hunters do the same thing. Not Quite Mad. Lawyer—“ Were you acquainted with the deceased?

Jails in Two Countries. There are, we are told,in the United States 1,758 county jails and only 44 juvenile reformatories. Great Britain, on the other hand, supports over 400 reformatories and industrial schools and has in consequence been able to close 58 out of 113 prisons and jails within 10 years.

Italians, as is well known, are par tial to harmless snakes and have no objections to eat them when cooked. A fritura composed of the common wood serpent’s flesh is even regarded as a dainty by the lower orders in Borne, Florence and Naples and is of ten served up to them in their dingy restaurants. Parisians of the inferior classes are also great eaters of fried snakes, but unwittingly so, for the reptiles are palmed oft' on them as eels. Thus the apparently appetizing dishes known as matelotte d’unguille and an guille ala tartare are often in low eat ing houses nothing but harmless snakes caught in the wilder part of the Vincennes wood and brought up to a special market near the Place de la Republique. It is probable, however, that even if the members of the poorer classes here who occasionally indulge in fried or stewed eels were apprised of the fraud practiced at their expense they would evince no loathing nor even lack of appetite, seeing that they are ready to devour not only horse flesh, but meat of mule, donkey and dog any day in the week.
