tween the coast miners and the mine
owners in the department of Pus de-
Calais, work in the collerieß stopped

who quit work is not at present known,
but it is large. The strike, if long ex
tended, is certain to cause considera
ble embarrassment to the manufactur
ing industries or the department and
elsewhere. The trouble is due to
questions concerning wages and the>
treatment of men by the overseers.

bidding the owners from ginning cot
ton until the price reaches 10 cents
per pound. Several ginners have dis
regarded the notice and opened their
establishments for business. The
white caps promptly burned them to
the ground, and warned them that an
other attempt to resume would be pun
ished with death.
TRADE REVIEW.
Bun & C’o.’s Report of Business for
the Past Week.
R. G. Dun & Go’s, weekly review of
trade says: Returns from every part
of the country show a decided im
provement. A hopeful feeling prevails,
money grows abundant at speculative
centers and is somewhat easier for
commercial purposes. The number of
estalishments reported as resuming
work is thirty-one wholly, and twenty
six in part, still exceeds the number
closing, thirty-three for the past
week, besides ten reducing the force
so that the hands employed have
somewhat increased. The num
ber unemployed is still very large; the
great industries are still far below
their normal productiveness, and part
of the resumption of work has been
secured l *y lowering prices and reduc
ing wages. But business is pulling it
self together, and even the crop report
has caused a little depression in stocks.
The industrial improvement is largely
in cotton, and otherwise appears
scarcely more satisfactory than last
week. About two-thirds of the Fall
River mills are operating, but at
a reduction of about 10 to 13 per
cent in wages, and there has been
a sharp cut in prices of leading cotton
goods. Several shoe factories have
started in part, but orders are said to
be not enough to keep half the force
busy, though a distinct improvement
is noticed. In all eighteen metal works
have started in part and six wholly,
while thirteen have stopped and four
teen have reduced hands or wages.
The output of pig iron, September Ist,
proves to have,been 82,602 tons week
ly a decrease of 98,947 since May Ist,
that only 45 per cent of
the productive force was employed.
Sales of grey forge for $7 at Birming
ham and of steel billets for $19.50 at
Pittsburg, support the statement that
resumption of work in many is
at the expense of a great s%<? in
price. But in this industry 'business
revives more vige tously at the wesl
than at the east.
An obvious effect of short crops is
that railroad earnings may shrink
with a smaller demand the coming
year for iron products and for stocks.
Abundance of money seeking loans on
collaterals and call tends to render th
market indifferent to public abstention
and/jfcduced earninzs.
BUTCHERED IN JAIL.
An Alabamn Mob Kills Five Prisoners
in Their Cells.
Pickens county, Alabama, comes to
the front again with an awful butcher
ing of prisoners confined in the jail
at Carrollton. Paul Archer, Will Ar
cher, Polk Hill, Ed Guyton and Ellen
Fant, all negroes, and the latter a wo
man, were shot to death Friday night
by a mob of masked men.
Some time during last week the mill
and ginhonse of J. E. Woods w ere
burned. In about a week the negroes
were arrested and were confined in
Carrollton jail. The preliminary in
vestigation was in progress, but had
not been concluded. Friday night
the sheriff was called on in his room at
the jail building and was told that
parties had a prisoner whom they had
arrested they wanted to turn over to
him. The sheriff came down from his
room, and unlocking the jail door,
found himself in the hands of a dis
guised mob who demanded of him the
keys to the cell where the prisoners
were confined. This request was urg
ed upon the sheriff by the glistening
barrels of a hundred Winchesters.
After the officer was overpowered
the mob quickly made its way to the
grated cells of the prisoners and
through the iron bars the barrels of
the rifles were placed and from every
muzzle came a dozen balls. In a sec
ond’s time five human beings had been
cruelly butchered and their quivering
bodies lay in streams of blood which
ran across the floor. The mob then
quietly dispersed.
SHELLING RIO.
The City Bombarded by the Brazilian
Rebel Fleet.
A Washington special of Thursday
says: Secretary Gresham has received
the following cablegram from Minis
ter Thompson, at Rio:
•‘At 11 o’clock tfils m irning the revolution
ary fore s bombarded the fort commanding the
entrance to the harbor, also the atsenal on the
wharf in the center of the city. A few t-hells
were fired into the city, and a woman was killed
in her residence. Commercial telegrams have
again I ten forbidden. The Charleston has
not arrived-”
This dispatch practically disposes of
the hopes of the navy department that
the cruiser Charleston had reached
Rio, and it is now believed that she
went direct to Montevideo without
touching at any Brazilian port,

Notes of Interest Concerning the Peo
ple and Their General Welfare.
Congressman Oates, of Alabama,
proposes to introduce a bill providing
for adding the territory of Utah to
Nevada, so as to make that state the
proper size and of sufficient popula
tion.
The senate Friday confirmed the
following nominations: Collectors of
internal revenue, P. B. Trammell,
district of Georgia; R. O. Randall,
district of Alabama, J. T. Essary, sec
ond Tennessee; F. P. Bond, fifth Ten
nessee.
The president sent to the senate
Tuesday the following nominations:
William B. Hornblower, of New York,
to be associate justice of the supreme
court of the United States, vice Samu
el Blatchford, deceased; James J. Van
Allen, of Rhode Island, ambassador ex
traordinary and plenipotentiary to
Italy.
After the approval of the journal in
the house, Tuesday, Mr. Flynn, re
publican, of Oklahoma, asked consent
for the consideration of a resolution
reciting that some of the settlers on
the Cherokee strip had been shot down
by United States soldiers, and request
ing the secretary of war to inform the
houge as to the circumstances, and
further, hv what authority the troops
were acting.
Representative Cooper, of Florida,
will introduce a resolution in the house
calling for an investigation of the
course of United States Judge Swain,
with a view to impeachment on charges
affecting his administration of busi
ness in his court, especially in the
matter of the improper appointments
of masters and receivers. Mr. Coop
er’s action is taken in obedience to
resolutions passed by the Florida leg
islature.
A. H. Gallahue, of New York, ap
peared beforq-the committee on ways
and means Tuesday and presented a
petition of the Associated Trades and
Workmen’s Reform League of New
York, demanding that the duty on the
vegetable products of the Bermuda
island be removed or greatly . reduced,
so that - the middle class or working
people may be able to purchase fresh
vegetables in the early spring. Henry
T. Oxnard, of Nebraska, spoke against
the repeal of the sugar bounty clause
of the McKinley act.
When the proposition was made to
put coal on the free list, the New York
capitalists organized a big trust and
purchased extensive coalmines in Nova
Scotia. Tuesday a strong delegation
of mine owners from Virginia, West
Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania
arrived at Washington and organized
at the Willard hotel. Tuesday after
noon they appeared before the com
mittee on ways and means to argue the
proposition of a duty of seventy-five
cents per ton on bituminous coal.
They claim it will be ruinous to the
coal mining interests of this country
to put coal on the free list.
Associate Justice Hornblower.
Judge Hornblower is a prominent
and widely known New York lawyer
and who has for many years had a very
large practice before the supreme
court of which he will soon become a
member. Senator McPherson, who
knows him personally, says he is a
man of strong mind and great judicial
attainments, with a natural aptitude
for constitutional subjects. He comes
of a family of jurists, his father having
been the late chief justice of New J ersey
where his grandfather was a leading
practitioner at the bars of his day.
Mr. Tfrtrnblower was for a number of
years the law partner of ex-Governor
Chamberlain, of South Carolina, and
is a relative by marriage of the late
Justice Bradley, who married a
Miss Hornblower. In stature, Mr.
Hornblower is small, reminding
one very much of the present
chief justice of the supreme court.
He is a trustee of the New York Life
Insurance Company, of which William
R. Grace is a director. It is evident
that the appointment of Mr. Horn
blower will not be received with pleas
ure by all the politicians of New r York.
Senator Hill declined to discuss the
nomination, but simply said that the
democrats of New York would be dis
appointed.
Fearful Flood in Japan.
A San Francisco special says: The
steamship Peru, Monday evening from
China and Japan, brought the news to
September 3d. The Japan Gazette,
dated August 26, gives an account of
a great flood in Fifu Ken. Three
hundred and four were drowned, and
30,000 are receiving relief. It says
also that 2,356 cases are reported sick
Snd 447 dead.

money. Everything is in a turmoil.-
Thejre was dq bloodshed.
MAD RUSH FOR HOMES.
The Chrokee Strip Formally Opened
for Settlement.
A special from Arkansas City, Kans.,
says: One hundred thousand people
settled npon the Chrokee strip Saturday
On the lines in the vicinity of the
various border towns the boomers had
gathered in great numbers. As far as
the eye could reach in either direction
could be seen men mounted and in
wagons and afoot closely packed to
gether making a solid column 200 feet
or more in the middle and tapering
away to a mere streak of black in the
distance.
THE MAD KUSH OF THE BOOMEBS.
The .scene* when the column broke
at the firing of the signal gqp, and
each individual entered to contend for
a common can be imagined bet
ter than described. Confusion reign
ed everywhere. So closely were the
contestants packed together that the
start was a hazardous one. Horsemen
were unseated, wagons overthrown
and pedestrians prostrated in the mad
rush to be off. The cries of angered
men, the shouts of the racers, the
clattering of hoofs, the rattling of
wagons and the shrieking of locomo
tives combined in a roar similar to that
accompanying the progress of a tor
nado.
In the race many men were injured
and some killed. Of the latter some
met death by accident and two were
murdered. The details of the crimes
are not known, but the dead bodies—
one stabbed and the other shot
through the head—tell the manner of
death. Many dead horses have been
found on the prairie. Some died of
over-exertion, some were killed by fal
ling in the race, and others received
broken limbs in the rough prairie,
were shot by their owners.
FOtJB POPULOUS TOWNS.
Saturday night the strip which
twelve hours before was wholly de
serted, was a populous country. Four
of the new town sites have populations
estimated at 5,000 each. Others boast
populations ranging from 1,000 to j
3,000. Every desirable claim has at'
least one claimant and may have two
to four. Contests will, of course, bej
numerous.

They Are Given a New Resting Place at
Nashville.
A Nashville special says: Alfeer forty
three years in the tomb, the; remains
of ex-President James K. Polk, for a
brief time Tuesday, reposed under
the roof where the happiest days of
his life were spent, and then, followed
by civic and military authorities, state
and federal officials, were conveyed to
what will probably prove their final
resting place.
This is the second time the ex-pres
ident’s remains have been moved.
When he first died, in 1849, he was
buried in the old city cemetery. Then
the tomb at the Polk place was erect
ed, and, on May 22, 1850, the remains
w'ere placed therein. President Polk
made an invalid will, and when Mrs.
Polk died, August 14, 1891, suit was
soon after brought by the heirs, and
the will broken on the ground that it
attempted to create a perpetuity.
Thereupon the Polk place was ordered
sold, and the fiust legislature granted
permission for the removal of the tomb
to Capitol Hill. A beautiful site was
selected just north of the Jackson
statute, and there, the tomb, a square,
open temple, with plain columns, has
been erected. The caskets containing
the remains oi of President and Mrs.
Polk were encased in new boxes and
taken into the parlor of the Polk place,
where pruyers were said. Brief ser
vices were conducted by Rev. S. A.
Steel and Rev. Jerry Withersoon, af
ter which the caskets were placed side
by side and left in peace.
GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.
Industrial Progress as Reported for
the Past Week.
The review of the industrial situation in the
south for the past week shows that the record of
the week has been encouraging in all branches
of business. The banks throughout the south
ern states are well supplied with currency, and
the restrictions as to the amounts to be drawn
out and the notice to be given have generally
been removed. Nearly all of the banks which
suspended have resumed operations.
Then- is a steady but slow increase in the or
ders received by manufacturing establ’shments,
and several good ones have been received by
iron mai rfacturers, although prices are very
low. Cos ton mills are now genarally running.
Mercantile busin'ss is somewhat improved, but
farmers are holding back cotton for better
prices. Among important new industries es
