Baltimore, Aug. 19. — Pete Ryan,
foreman of the St. Lawrence mine, the
property of the Anaconda mine, aud
Jack Campbell and John Manning, two
miners, were killed at 5:10 o’clock
Wednesday morning by the fall of a car
from the top of the mine to the bottom
of the shaft, at the 1,200 level.
.The miners were working at the bot

level, deepening the shaft, when the
cage containing Ryan fell from the top,
instantly crushing the life out of two

asked for the co-operation of this gov

the country in transit. In seeking in

A Strange Disease Attacks Illinois Cattle.
Ottawa, Ills., Aug. 39.—Farmers iu
Brookfield township just south of Mar
seilles are greatly exercised over a new
disease which has broken out there.
The disease has spread in three herds
of over 100 head aud many of the ani
mals are hopelessly blind and many
others are rapidly losing their sight.
I\lr. Dennis, the Ottawa veterinarian,
who was called to see them, can find
nothing in the authorities relating to
the disease, which iu each case affects
the pupils of the eye. It may be ueces-
sary to have the affected cattle killed to
prevent the spread of the malady amoug
the animals.

For instance Mr. Bryan said in one of his
speeches the other day that if he should
be elected, the people who elected him
should not be found asking favors of the
government. We had not quite finished
clapping hands over this statement beiore
it was made clear to us that the men
who are backing the ticket in New Eng
land will demand that the government
levy a fine ou every citizen who desires to
buy foreign goods which are brought to
this country in the ships of Sewall and his
Republican colleagues.
Mr. Sewall’s presence on the ticket was
meant to say to the privileged classes of
the north and east: “Don’t get scared of
Bryan’s speech, I will see to it that the
present state of things is not disturbed.”
In other words, Sewall is the soothing
syrup of the campaign for the monopolists,
and he is relied upon to keep the northern
and eastern Democrats from wailing too

ulistic proclivities.

Sir. Bryan Will Make a Thorough Caul

Upper Red Kook, N. Y., Aug. 19.—
William Jennings Bryan has determined
to make a pretty thorough canvass of
the state of New York, aud for the first
time since the days of Martin Van Buren
will make addresses iu nearly every im
portant city. He will first go to Albany,
the home of David B. Hill. He will
visit each big city along the New York
Central road. Speaking of his trip he
said:
"We shall leave Upper Red Hook at

p. m. Then we take the first train to
Erie, Pa., arriving there between 7 and

Spain, aud called attention to the arri
val in Cuba of filibustering expeditious,

To this portion of the Spanish Minis
ter’s n te, Mr. Bayard replied that tho
government of the United States did
not attempt to ekercise any power over
the opinion or expressions of people
within its domain. “The government
does not assume,” he wrote, “to visit
with penalty conduct which, if com
mitted within foreign jurisdictions,
might be punishable therein. To do
otherwise would be, iu effect, to attempt
to recognize aiid administer within tlio
sovereignty of the United States a do
mestic law of another sovereign. Pro
ceedings under the neutrality laws of
the United States are set in motion by
due information made under oath by
some person cognizant of the facts al
leged.
It is upon this position of Mr. Bayard
that tliesrate department and the United
States government has been acting. It
has been ready to act so soon as it has
information of unlawful acts. Mr. Bay
ard, in his note, added:
“The executive can no more punish
or repress offenses of this nature (expe
ditions against another government)
without the judicial ascertainment of
the fact that an unlawful act has been
committed than it could by administra
tive mandate award death on charge of
murder. Neither iu one case uor the
other could the representation of parties
claiming to be aggrieved override the
indispensable requisite of a judicial pro
c<-cuing.”
Beyond Government Control.
Mr. Bayard says considerable more ou
this point, emphasizing his position.
He does not ask Spain to be the plaintiff,
but says that tho United States will be
the plaintiff in all cases where a breach
of the law is charged that will bring the
case within the statute.
“The law being so in control of the
case, it must follow it to the end. The
executive has no authority over the ju
diciary. The expressions of sympathy
cannot bo controlled, however mis
placed.”
Mr. Bayard concludes by saying:
“Permit me to assure you tiiat if any
attempt shall be made on your part or
by your agents to cause the laws ap
plicable to the case and the international
obligations of the United States to be
respected to their fullest extent, and
these attempts shall fall, and the inci
dent be brought to the attention of this
department, it will promptly lend its
aid to vindicate the law and enforce its
remedies.”
Mr. Bayard thus placed the responsi
bility of locating filibusters aud hostile
demonstrations against Spain upon the
Spanish government.
The entire note is printed out as de
fining the position of the Uuited States
in the present case, and arguing fully
the assumption of the counsel of the
Spanish legation in the pamphlet just
published.

President Storey called the associa
tion to order and delivered his address.
He reviewed the most noteworthy
changes in statute law ou poiuts of gen
eral interest made in the several states
and congress during the preceding year.
While the year had been marked by dis
content among tho people, the laws only
show peace. Discontent did not effect
legislation. There was a noticeable
growth of a disposition to assert the
general interest of the community at
the expense of the individual freedom.
He cited such legislation as the collate
ral inheritance tax, the graduated in
come tax, the graduated tax on the es
tates cf deceased persons and the char
acter and number of the uses for which
money is raised by taxation. Most of
the address is devoted to railway reor
ganization, reviewing a statute of Ken
tucky which enables courts to protect
investors by making every railway re
organization on the subject of judicial
investigation. Mr. Storey said:
Frpsidenfc Storey’s Spcec’.i.
The failure of a railway company finds
the managers prepared for the emergency
which they have foreseen, while it finds
the creditors scattered, ignor ant, fright
ened and unready to act. We have seen
managers, while stoutly denying up to
the last moment that, any such step was
contemplated, secretly prepare a bill, and
without notice to those interested, file it
in court. These proceedings have been
collusive. The managers of these insolv
ent companies have controlled both sides
of the litigation. Dills filed state that the
company cannot meet its obligations and
that thus the system will be disintegrated
and that the solvent company suffer.
Upon this allegation the company asks the
court, in the interest of the debtor, to de
prive the creditors of their rights.

they could -not accept, iu fact they do not
dare to refuse. The expense of the reor
ganization has been in many cases enor
mous. aud in fixing it there is no one to
audit the accounts, no one to represent the
creditors who suffer while the trustees
profit. Whenever an agreement is reached
the obstruction ceases. The foreclosure
moves swiftly and tho officers of the court
no longer resist the claims of suitors at
the bar. The receivership has accom
plished this purpose.

Albert yacht club off South Sea. Baron
von Zedwitz was formerly German min
ister to Mexico and was at one timo at
tached to the German ministry at
Washington.
The captains of the Isolde and Britan
nia were among those who testified.
The commander of tho Prince of Wales’
yacht expressed tlie opinion that the
Meteor should have given the Isolde a
wider berth, aud added that he thought
it was au error of judgment.
Captain Gomez of the Meteor also tes
tified. He denied having infringed the
rules and said there would have been
plenty of room to puss had not The
Saint struck the Isolde and threw the
latter out of her course and across that
of the Meteor.
The collision, he sai?i, could not then
be avoided except by colliding with the
Britannia, which lie exp’aiiied would
have resulted in a far more serious
smash up. The jury rendered a verdict
that nobody was to blame for the acci
dent.
Tlie body of Baron Zedwitz has been
embalmed and will be taken to Dresden
for burial.

Governor of Georgia Speaks.
Atlanta, Aug. 19. — Seaborn A.
Wright, fusion candidate for governor
of this state, addressed an audience of
about 4,000 people in tho Moody taber
nacle here. Mr. Wright spoke with his
usual force, droll some times, dramatic
often aud always entertaining. He won
loud applause after he got well into liis
speech, though at first the audience
seemed to be waiting for him to line
out liis course. He said that lio was a
Democrat of the original kiud, aud next
declared that ha was independent in
politics.
Mr. Wright dwelt at length on the
Democratic campaign of 1894, and de
cried partisanship in politics. “The
man who is a partisan is a little man,”
he declared. He quoted Washington,
Toombs, .Stephens aud Hill against pai’-

should he a gold man, aud Grover Cleve

Savannah, Aug. 19. — Despite the
stormy weather, about 1,000 people
gathered in the Odd Fellows’ hail here
to hear Governor W. Y. Atkinson dis
cuss state and national issue i. He was
inti-oduced to his audience by President
Mauncy of the Bay an and Sewall club,
aud three cheers were given when he
arose to speak.
Governor Atkinson devoted a lax-ge
part of his time to the financial issue.
His argument to show that competition
iu securing silver must i-aise the com
mercial value to the coinage value was
not short of convincing. His statement
that all the silver in the world divided
by 16 would give the weight of the gold,
and that therefore God Almighty must
have had something to do with the ra
tio, caught his hearers, aud they cheered
him lustily.
Governor Atkinson advocated a plan
for the employment of convicts by the
» te, or such supervision by the state,
will give them immunity from cruel
and inhuman treatment. He also ad
vocated state control of countv cliaiu-
gaugs, from many of which lie said ho
had had reports of innumerable liori’ors.
The state, in its sovereignty, he said,
should exercise its control over these
convicts and see that they wore treated
humanely.

Many see the savings of a lifetime swept
away by mismanagement and the same
managers continue hi charge- To tho
reckless use of power by the managers of
corporations and by those who profit in
their downfall, we must attribute much
of the discontent, the hatred of capital and

cers which underlies the movement that
excites our alarm.
Professor Blewett Lee of the North
western uuiversity, in his paper on
“Teaching Practice Iu Law Schools,”
said:.
Half the cases decided in 3S93 were upon
points of procedure, showing that a knowl
edge of procedure is worth as much as 11
the rest of legal knowledge. Lawyers
must get their technical knowledge in the
school of experience. Law is a science;
practicing law is au art. Law is the only
profession in which students can have
practical training before they begin work.
Most students, clergymen, engineers and
others have it. Professor Lee said the
most courts have lieen overrated, hut
practice could be taught by obtaining
printed trial records and giving them out
as the basis of class work.

A French Admiral’s 31 iracitlons Escape.
Paris, Ang. 19.—During the artillery
practice of the French Mediterranean
squadron off Toulou, says a dispatch
from that city, Admiral Gervais and
his siaff had a narrow escape. Instead
of aiming at a target whicJi was being
towed 500 yard3 behind the flagship
Brennus, a battleship of 11,000 tous dis-
p acement, the cruiser Ventour turned
her quick fire guns on the flagship for
some time. The ?>’ots rained around
Admiral Gerva’s and his staff and their
escape was a miracle. Glass in the ad
miral’s conning tower was riddled and
a sailor was injured. There is much
mystery as to how the mistake hap
pened, as it is not thought possible that
they could have mistaken the vessel at
500 yards distauce.

A Chance to Make Money.
I have berries, grapes aud peaches

I use the California Cold process
do not heat or seal the fruit, jusl
put it up cold, keeps perfectly fresh,
and costs almost nothing; can put
up a bushel in ten minutes. Last
week I sold directions to over 120
families; anyone will pay a dollar
for directions, when they see the
beautiful samples ot fruit. As there
are many people poor like myself,
I consider it my’ duty to give my
experience to such, and feel cdnfi
dent anyone can make one or two
hundred dollars round home in a
few days. I will mail sampie of
fruit and complete directions, to
any of your readers, for eighteen
two-cent stamps, which is only the
actual cost of the samples, postage,
etc., to me. Francis Casey,

Fulton County Prisoners Conspired to Kill
tlie Guards and Escape*
Atlanta, Ang. 15.—A bold scheme to
break jail has been discovered by the
Fulton county prison officials. The con
spiracy had been well planned in its
every detail. Assistant jailer Eubanks
was to be decoyed into the corridor.
Tom Delk, the outlaw, uow under sen
tence of death, ‘who had made a key to
his cell door, would be in hiding in the
bathroom. Whey McCullough entered
the corridor door, Delk was to spring
upon him from behind.
The ceil door of Arthur Hayne, who
is to die ou the gallows uext Friday,
was false locked by a trusty who was
one of the conspirators, and when the
time for action came, the murderer of
Spinks was to rush out aud aid Delk.
The night guard at the door would
have been sileuced with a knife thrust
and the keys would then have been in
the possession of the prisoners. Every
door would then have been opened, and
before au alarm could have been given
the entire number would have been
upon the streets aud probably beyond
recapture.
When tho plot was discovered a search
was instituted aud two knives, a saw,
four pieces of steel and a heavy iron bar
were fonnd in Hanye’s cell.
The ringleaders, Delk aud Hanye,
have been put in irons.
Held Up by Two S’egro Tramps.
Waycross, Ga., Aug. 15.—A crowd
of section hands were held up and robbed
at their houses between Waycross and
Blackshear by two armed negro tramps.
The section men had just finished cook
ing provisions when the desperadoes ar
rived and asked for a drink of water,
which was given them. The tramps
then demanded food. The section men
said they had no food* to spare. The
tramps drew their pistols on the section
men, who fled as a fusillade of bullets
was sent after them. When the tramps
had frightened the men off-they took
all the provisions they found in the
houses and every other article of value
and left the place.
Spoons Free to All.
I read in the Christian Standard
that Miss A. M. Fritz, Station A,
St Lonis, Mo., would give an ele
gant plated hook spoon to anyone
sending her ten 2-cent stamps. I
sent for one and found it so useful
that I showed it to my friends, and
made $13 in two hours, taking or
ders for the spoon. The hook spoon
is a household necessity. It cannot
slip into the dish or cooking vessel,
being held in place by a hook, on
the back. The spoon is something
housekeepers have needed ever
since spoons were first, invented.
Any one can-get a sample spoon by
sending ten 2-cent stamps to Miss
Fritz. This is a splendid way to
make money around home.
Very truly, Jennette S.
