VOT, VI. NO. 16. r AN EFFORT AT EVICTION RESULTS IN UTTER FAILURE. STONES AND CLUBS FREELY USED Miners Won the Bay and the Officers Were Forced to Leave. Women In the Fray. A Pittsburg, Pa., special says: The efforts to evict the striking miners of the Pittsburg and Chicago Gas Com¬ pany at Orangeville, one and a half ( ■pwiles from Gastonville, resulted in a riot Monday. When the news was received that the evictions were to bo attempted, tho whole vicinity about Finleyville, Gas tonville and Orangeville became wildly excited. About 7 o’clock Sunday night, dep¬ uties from Washington, Pa , in charge of Deputy Joseph Hemphill, reached Finleyville, where they were met by a large crowd of strikers and their friends. Each deputy was armed with a Winchester rifle and a revolver, but in spite of this the strikers, headed by one hundred Polish women, closed in on them, and the deputies received rough treatment. They were grad¬ ually Gastonville, forced back aud finally retreated to where they were fol¬ lowed by a crowd of about two hundred men and women. At 7 o’clock Monday morning the trouble reached a climax when the deputies sallied out from their besieged quarters and started to march to Orangeville. Each one carried his Winchester in his hands and his re¬ volver was exposed, hut those had no terrors for tho besiegors. Headed by the same women the strikers rushed on the deputies with stones, clubs and pickhandlos and the blows fell thick and fast. One of the women wrested a rifle from a deputy’s hands and struck him on the head with it, inflicting a serious injury. By this time 1,000 men, women and children had joined the crowd. They came from Venetin, Snowden,Calamity and Oonleyville. The deputies slowly made their way to Orangeville, taking all the above insults and injuries, but never firing a shot. There they took refuge in a vacant house, closely fol¬ lowed building by and a moli threatened who surrounded to burn it. the Finally one of the strikers approach¬ ed the house with a flag of truce anil a conference was held. The deputies were ordered to leave town and after a short parly, (locidod to do so. They emerged from the house and walking between the open ranks of strikers, started for Gastonville. Almost, every man in the posse was cut, and bleeding, and several were seriously hurt. One had his right hand almost severed by a sharp stone. As the defeated deputies ran tho gauntlet they were greeted with hisses, curses and ridicule. Tho strikers then closed behind them aud marched them to the station, where they took the train for Washington. After their departure the mob dis¬ persed and everything became quiet. The officials of the company say no further attempt will be made to evict tho miners for the present. * FACILITIES OF THE SOUTH * For Making Armor Plate Will Be Pre aented to Committee. General Manager A. M. Shook, of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway Company; Congressman Gaines, of Nashville; Congressman Enderwood, of Alabama, and Congressman Living¬ ston, of Georgia, will _go before the naval armory plate committee in a few days to urge the examination of the armor plate-making facilities of the south. Colonel Shook in an interview said that his company stands ready to de¬ liver steel plate at an Atlantic seaboard port at a less cost than can be done by any company in the United States. He also said the iron made by his company was well adapted to making armor plate, for Carnegie uses it as a mixture in manufacturing plates. Colonel Shook claimed that the ca¬ pacity of the blast furnaces at Bir¬ mingham, Ala., is more than sufficient to supply all demands for plate. ( ANDREWS STANDS FIRM. Y Insist, on the Acceptance of His Res¬ ignation. It is unofficially announced that Dr. Andrews .will insist upon the accept¬ ance of his resignation from the presi¬ dency of-Brown university. This decision was arrived at after a conference Monday afternoon between Dr. Andrews and the advisory and the executive committee of the corpora¬ tion. His connection with the Cos¬ mopolitan university, it is thought, will take up too much time to permit of his devoting his attention to both universities. His decision is in spite of a letter received by him from the faculty Peg¬ ging him to remain. SHOT-GUN QUARANTINE May Be Oraaniied By Texan. Through the Report, of Yellow Fever.

Six persons were burned to death and thirty people are lying in tho homes of neighbors burned, scarred and with broken bones. Four build¬ ings occupying a block of the town are in ruins. Of the six dead nothing but charred and Idackene nones remain. Two of the dead ar. fill unidentified, there being no we f identification except by listing t "/ho remain, The bnsino part of the town took fire and the largest buildings were de¬ stroyed. The city of Indianapolis ■was called on for help and sent engines and doctors. The first explosion occurred in a drug store from an unknown cause. Five men were working there and the building was set on fire. Across the street was the Odd Fellows’ hall, un¬ derneath which was a grocery store. Seeing that the fire was sprealing, twenty men were removing the stock of groceries, when a crushing explo¬ sion occurred in the store. The walls were blown out and the upper floor fell in on the men. The fire spread from the Odd Fel¬ lows’ hall and the drug store, leaving ruins in every direction. Five build¬ ings were on fire at once, and were doomed before help could bo attempt ed. BRYAN ON PROSPERITY. Ho Says Politics Has Nothing To Bo With the Bettor Times. The St. Louis Post Dispatch prints a letter from W. J. Bryan, the first utterance after three months of travel and observation during the return of prosperity. Among other things he says: because “Wheat has risen the for¬ eign crop has been exceedingly short, “The fact that silver and wheat have parted company will cause no dismay to those who understand that the law of supply aud demand regu¬ lates the price of both. “Nothing can better disclose tho weakness of the republican position than the joy manifested by tho repub¬ licans over events for which their ad¬ ministration and their polities are in no wise responsible. “If the republicans dosire to claim credit for the high price of wheat they must assume the responsibility for the famine in India. “A great rise in price should be fol¬ lowed by a rise of wages. ” Mr. Bryan says that tho joy over the increase of money from wheat is evident that we have too little money; that if the farmers are benefitted by the rise in one of their prodnets, how much better would it be if the rise was universal; that the price of wheat will fall when the foreign demand be¬ comes normal, aud that the present spasmodic rise will aid rather than in¬ jure the cause of bimetallism. BAD FOR LUETOERT. Damaging Testimony Against Chicago Stiu$ag:c Maker* Saturday was a bad day for the de¬ fense in the Luet.gert murder trial at Chicago, wherein Luetgert is charged with the murder of liis wife. The strongest evidence which has yet been given against him was brought out, and some of it was dam¬ aging. The witness who gave the strongest evidence against the sausage maker was Mrs. Christian Feldt., a widow, with whom the prosecution alleges Luetgert was infatuated, and to whom it is claimed he has written a number of love letters since he has been con¬ fined in jail. Mrs. Fefdt said that on various occasions Luetgert said to her that he did not care for his wife, and once said that he thought more of the domestic in the house than of Mrs. Luetgert. He also said that lie had many quar¬ rels with his wife, and when Mrs. Feldt asked him why he did not seoure a divorce, he said that as soon as his financial troubles wero over, he would settle with her. He repeated this sev¬ eral times, aud called his wife a car¬ cass” aud other names. Money May Siteeeed George.

FLORIDA’S PROPOSED CANAL. Articles of Incorporation Have Been Filed In New York City. A Now York dispatch states that ar¬ ticles have been filed with County Clerk l’urroy for the incorporation of the Florida Trans-Peninsular Ship Ca¬ nal Company. The chief incorpora¬ tors aro Robert M. Caffal, Freeman H. Baldwin, II. Bolet Peraza, consul general for tho Greater Republic of Central America in this country; Thos. F. Cromwell and Francis P. Fleming. The capital is $75,000,000. The projectors have in mind the building of a ship canal and railway to connect the Atlantic with the gulf. Tho new canal will be of sufficient capacity for the passage of ocean go¬ ing vessels. Consul General Peroza, in speaking of the project, said: “The new canal will be of great ad¬ vantage in defense of country in case of an international war, as well as be¬ ing a great commercial benefit in oase of peace. It will shorten the time for vessels going to Texas or Mexico by three days. Tho waters around the southern coast of Florida are very treacherous, owing to the numerous currents. All this danger will be done away with. “We expect that 15,000,000 tons of freight will pass through the canal each year, and even light tolls on this will make the enterprise pay. We have applied for the charter, and will probably get it next month, As 80011 as it is issued we will begin work. “Mr. Caffal, our civil engineer, has already surveyed the ground, and all arrangements have been made to push the work.” The consul general further said that the harbor of St. Augustine would be the eastern entrance to the new canal. The width of the waterway' will be 200 feet through its entire length, and it will be deep enough to allow the largest ship to pass through; It will proba¬ bly be about five years before the canal is finished. PEARLS IN ARKANSAS. Rivers Lined With Peoplo Kngagea In Hunting the Little Treasures. A special from Relena states that the pearl hunting industry, which has been exciting tho whole country, is spreading all over that end of the state. The St. Francis river, from the mouth of the river to Jeffersonville, is lined with white people and negroes, all engaged in unearthing and prying open the richly laden mussel shells. One mar. exhibited a small bottle of them taken from Phillips bayou, a tributary of the St. Francis. They are darker than the ordinary pearls of commerce, but are handsomer shaped aud of good size. AH the chain of lakes in the, hitherto impenetrable St. Francis river bottoms are full of these pearl-bearing mussels, and should they prove to be valuable the whole country will presently be engaged in the business to the detriment of crop gathering. 8TEAMER RUN INTO.

The Louisiana state board of health kept faith with its sister bodied of the south and the rest of the country Mon¬ day afternoon when it made oflicial announcement, as the result of a careful autopsy, that Raoul Gelpi, thirteen years old, had died of yellow fover in New Orleans. Gelpi was the son of prominent peo¬ ple and had been spending some time at Ocean Springs, where he was taken dow n with fever and from thence car¬ ried to his home in New Orleans. Soon after arriving, despite the best medical attention,he dieilj Dr.Theard, the physician in charge, immediately reported to the board of health aud expressed the opinion that death was due to yellow fever. Monday afternoon an autopsy proved that Dr. Tbcard’s idea of yellow fever was correct. Steps were promptly taken to prevent a possible spread of the disease. the As doctors this-case expressed w^t^ne confidence of importance, that they would be able to check the spread of the disease. ... « The death of young Gelpi naturally caused no little excitement in the city. Physicians, however, expressed no ap¬ prehension and state their belief that it was quite possible to arrest the spread of the fever. The board during the day had or¬ dered a rigid quarantine against, all points on the gulf coast and had taken every precaution to guard means of communication against the entrance to the city from any persons from Ocean Springs, Biloxi or other places on the' south, where it was thought the fever might reach. During the day the bulletin boards had been thronged nbonf, the board of health office besieged and the Western Union wires freighted with messages to and from the various coast resorts. In the meantime, however, reassur¬ ing telegrams arrived from Ocean Springs that the Mississippi board of health had taken -every precaution possible to circumscribe the limits of the epidemic and prevent its commu¬ nication to the outside world. “We have no fear,” said Dr. Whlmft ley, acting president of the board of health, “that the fever will spread in New Orleans. The board of health is prepared to spend a million dollars to stamp it out and we see no reason to feel alarmed. People ought not get frightened. This one case was takeh charge of in time and such scientific fumigation has been applied as to warrant the hope that we shall promptly and eifectir'^^p.p laments out the "We have made aph to physician issue a circular Jo t'alueVpracticing in New ing him promptly to report to the board of health every suspicions case of fever. “We have made arrangements to act promptly in every case, and if, unfor¬ tunately, other cases of yellow fever shall be brought to our attention, we shall without delay notify the world through the Associated Press of the facts.” THE JUDGES WILL ACT And Convict Reform In Georgia Will Soon. Be Under Way. The private misdemeanor convict camp in Georgia will soon be a thing of the past. The news is corning in from all parts of the state that the opening of the fall terms of court has marked a reform in the treatment of misdemeanor convicts and that the judges are active in seeing that their orders to the court officers are no longer violated. The action of Governor Atkinson in first calling attention to these evils by making public the report of Special Commissioner Byrd, and then forward¬ ing the information thus secured to the superior and county court judges and the solicitors general of the dis¬ tricts concerned, is rapidly bearing fruit. ALTGELD ADDRESSES LABOR MEN. M-aorernor of Illinois Makes a Speech at Washington Park. Ex-Governor John P. Altgeld, of Illinois, addressed an audience of about one thousand people at Wash¬ ington park on the Delaware river Monday afternoon. and His subject was “Municipal Government Ownership and Govern¬ ment by Injunction.” The ex-governor was present through an invitation from the United Labor League of Philadelphia. CHANGE IN MONEY ORDERS Contemplated By the PostofHee Depart ment Fojr Safety. A Washington dispatch says: The postoffice department intends to reor¬ ganize its money order system. The two recent robberies of government funds by postmasters has aroused the department to the weakness of the sys¬ tem. Hereafter all postofflees and sub¬ stations will be liable to inspection at the most unexpected times. Every¬ thing must agree or the postmaster xvill be taken into custody at once. These examinations will be as unex¬ pected and as carefully made as those of national banks. SULTAN AND CZAR CONFER. Report That a Mutual Arrangement. Has Been Agreed Upon.

OFFICIALLY DECLARED TO HE RAG¬ ING AT OCEAN SPRINGS, MISS. TEN FATALITIES HAVE OCCURRED. People Hurrying Away and Rigid Quaran¬ tine Is Being KHtabli**ied Against the Place. The health officers of Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi—Drs. W. H. Sanders, Of Mobile; S. B. Olli phaiit, of New Orleans, and H. II. Harrison, of Jackson—assisted by Mr. Wisden, of the United States marine hospital service, and a number of medical experts from New Orleans, pronounce as yellow fever an epidemic which lias prevailed at Ocean Springs, Miss., for the past six weeks. The town has a population of about 2,000, which is augmented in the sum¬ mer by numerous visitors to the gulf coast. It is said that over six hund¬ red enses of fever, from which, up to last Sunday, ten deaths had resulted, have occurred since the disease began six weeks ago. Among the deaths was that of Dr, W. H. Remiss, of New Orleans, who succumbed last Thursday after an ill¬ ness of two days. Dr. Remiss went to Ocean Springs to attend the sick, and it is declared that the day he was stricken he sent word home that the cases of illness he had attended wore of a gravely sus¬ picions nature. Dr. Bemiss’ death first attracted outside attention to tho disease. The medical experts mentioned above arrived at Ocean Springs Sunday noon and after careful post mortem examin¬ ations upon three subjects who died Saturday, decided the sickness was yellow fever. Upon receipt of a telegram from Dr. Sanders the board of health of Mobile, Ala., convened and upon their recom¬ mendation the mayor declared a rigid quarantine against Ocean Springs. For the past two weeks there has been a pretty general exodus from Ocean Springs, caused by the goncral nature of the epidemic and the ref¬ are quartered in nearly oYery town and city along the coast.

Judge Gbaud lor bus already signified his intention to sign it. It will be materially the same as the motion for a new trial. The superintendent of the mailing department of the Atlanta postoffice has filed his annual statement. It shows a remarkable increase over tho year before and says that the people of Atlanta write no less than 50 millions of letters every year. Jt is almost an inconceivable number, but it is true, and the report shows that tho business done in the Atlanta postofllce is re¬ markable. Tho tramp named London who was arrested in Atlanta some days ago, un¬ der suspicion of being the man who assaulted Miss Ileathooek and nearly killed lief mother in Ringgold, was carried there for identification. The man was parried to the Ileathcoek home and Jishered into the presence of Mrs. Hmthcoek, who, after looking at him, immediately announced that ho was not the assailant.

Gov¬ ernor Atkinson and Mr. Brown are the closest of friends and both have for years supported the other in the political field. Dawson has secured a removal of discrimination against her in freight rates, and the railroads have met it ill a way that will give them more reve¬ nue, with the result of high rates to Albany. The railroad commission heard the case and issued an order re¬ quiring the railroads to remove dis¬ crimination and submit the new rates for approval. This will allow the rail¬ road to equalize on their own plan, so long as they do not exceod the maxi¬ mum rate. Thus they will equalize actually on higher average. The weather bureau has highly eu couraging crop reports from all over the state. An a rule nil crops are in excellent condition aiul tho yield of cadi is large. With a good crop of w heat saved and demanding exception¬ ally remunerative prices, and the bright outlook of crops now in the field, there seems to be a very decided wave of prosperity sweeping over the farmers of Georgia at present. Cotton is growing well and is now being picked in good condition, while a large early corn crop has been saved, and the late crop bida fair to return even a greater yield. The tax rate for Floyd county lias been raised from $1 to $1.25 per $100 by the county board of commissioners.

Sixteen of the 23 superior court circuits are in this con¬ dition, and only seven are within the law. Seventy of the 137 counties are included in these circuits, and the governor will send a similar letter to the judges of the city and county courts, where there are such tribunals in these counties.
