Cnaf Fire at Marblehead, .Wa*.
Boston, June 25.—A fire broke out j
in Marblehead at 2 o’clock this morn
ing, and swept away nearly the en
tire business portion of the town. It
began in the stable of the Hathaway
House, and is believed to have been
the work of an incendiary. All the
large shoe manufactories but three j
are now iu ruins. These were mostly
large wooden buildings filled with
machinery, and furnishing employ
ment to hundreds of men and wo
men, who are now thrown out of em
ployment. The Eastern Railroad
depot bad seven passenger, but no
freight ears burned. Over forty dwel
ling houses were consumed, and the
occupants saved but a small portion
of the furniture, and the clothes they
had on. Seventy-two buildings in all
were consumed. The tire is now
under control.
Boston, Juno 2D.—Loss by fire at
Marble Head half a million. A lire
broKe out in the, rear of the Marble
Head Hotel, on Pleasant street, set
ting Marble Hoad, and from this
small beginning spread, until fifteen
acres of buildings, including every
shoe factory, but five, in the town
had been destroyed.
T.rrlftc llaln and Wind fttftrm.
Chicago, June 25.—The Western
Union Telegraph Company is in re
ceipt of news that a terrific wind and
rain storm, which apparently started
in the vicinity of Kansas City is now
raging in Northwestern Missouri,
over the entire State of lowa, in a
large portion of Illinois, and a sec
tion of Michigan ; Wisconsin is pros
trated in every direction, and but
few telegraphic points can he
reached. The wind amounts to al
most a tornado, and appears to be
rapidly approaching this city, which
it will reach, from present appear
ances, in about two hours.
LATER.
About 1:20 this evening the
storm struck the city with great
force. During the2o minutes that it
lasted a vast amount of rain fell.
Considerable damage. The wind
blew with great force, overturning
teams and busses, demolishing signs,
breaking glass and doing other in
jury. Basements were in some in
stances flooded a foot, deep, owing to
the inadequacy of the sewers. No
loss of life has been'reported.

London, June 25,—A dispatch, to
the Standard from Constantinople, j
via Athens, says the Chamber of
Deputies, in secret session, has voted
for a continuance of the war a V out
ranee, even if all Europe continues
agaiust. Turkey.
A telegram to tho Standard from
Constantinople, directly asserts that
Dervish Pasha on Saturday attacked
the Russians investing Batoum and
drove them from the heights.
The Standard’s Vienna correspond- j
ent says it is stated that notes have 1
been exchanged between Austria and
England ns to the character and sig
nificance of measures of preparation
decided upon by the two States.
The Tunes’ Athens dispatch says
the news of the passage of the Dan
ube has strengthened the war party.
A battery of mountain artillery had
already left for Luniaon the frontier,
and another will leave immediately
for Kuravauseri. There is a general
movement of troops.
The Times’ correspondent at Cet
tinge telegraphs that the Turkish
losses are absolutey incalculable.
All Sunday afternoon artillery and
rifles have been firing on the column
as it moves dowu the valley. Pur
suit will be kept up until the column
reaches the protection of the guns of
Spuz. It has still to run the gaunt
let of Planimitz’s division at Murti
nitza.
The Vienna correspondent of the
Times says : The Montenegrins are
said to have lost ulinost one-seventh
of their force, especially the Insur
gents baud appear to have suffered
very severely. Numbers of Monte
negrins are beginning to cross over
toCattaro and Budna, so that it has
been thought advisable to strengthen
the Cardon along tbe frontier.
The Daily News’ Ibrail correspon
dent, telegraphing Friday, sends
long details explaining how the
crossing was effected. The Russians
at Ibrail completed the bridge, un
disturbed by the Turks. Every one
understood on Tbusday that the
crossing was postponed, both on ac
count of the delay in the Czar’s
arrival, and because a large
foreo of Turkish troops lmd
boon discovered in ambush not far
from the bridge. However, Gen.
Zimmermann suddenly disappeared
from Ibrail during the night. This
morning, a little after day-break,
the people of Ibrail were awakened
'by the sound of artillery and mus
ketry on the other side of the river,
showing the Danube must be crossed.
Gen. Zimmermann had gone to
Galatz and crossed the Danube with
; two regiments of infantry and a pro
i portiouate amount of artillery and
| cavalry, iu a number of boats towed
| over by steam launches. The dis-
I tance traversed in the boats seems to
have been over three miles. The
Turks seem to have made very stub
born resistance.
A Vienna dispatch says it is report
ed that the I’riuoe of the;Montene
giios was killed by hi3 infuriated
soldiers in consequence of the re
cent serious defeats is confirmed, but
Prince Nicholas’ whereabouts has
been unknown for a week.
London, June 25. —Latest advices
from the Danube show some bloody,
but no serious or determined oppo
sition to the crossing, either at Ibrail
or Galatz.
London, June 25.—A special dis
patch from Bucharest to the Times
dated Sutkan, says preliminary oper
ations on the Danube have com
i menced in earnest. Bombardment
! continues along the whole lino to-
I day, including the batteries at Or
i iantzu, Beket-Grabera and Kahifat.
j The Turks are reported to be prepar
j ing to concentrate their forces on the
I Lower Danube and the fortress
| forming the quadrilateral ltust
| chuk, Silistria, Shurulaand Varna,
i leaving the Widin force issolate in
l the Dobrudscha.
The fall of Tultcha and Huliua can
! not be far distant as the Turkish
| forces occupying these points
| are cutoff from the lines of contmu
| nieation and reiuforc-ments.
A special dispatch from Vienna to
' the News confirms the foregoing and
and says one Russian division will
march along the Danube to Eserna
rada where the railway for Kusterdi
jie begins, while another division
will turn southeast into the interior
of Dobrudscha and Ihescan garri
sons of Isaktchi and Tultcha.
Note.— The Times’ telegram an
nouncing the evacuation of Tulcha
and Isaktchi was subsequent to this,
which, however, shows that the news
is likely to be true.
A News’ Vienna dispatch also says :
Tbe next crossing will probably be
at Turinu-Magireli. Thus In a few
days tbe Russians can outflank from
two sides at least, the strong for
tresses of tbe Quadrilateral of Rust
chuk, Silistria, Varna and Sbumla,
besides cutting the connections of
Shumla.

lished Saturday says: Frankness

the result is a conviction that the

London, June 25.—A correspondent

I hear that notwithstanding the
$25,000,000 in the Indian budget, the
Government, really did iuteud to ask j
Parliament for $25,000,000 to meet the I
war contingency. However, whether
owing to the antagonism said to ex
ist between Beaeonsfleld and the
Marquis of Salisbury, or to the pro
bability of determined opposition
from the Liberals, application is to
be made only for $10,000,000.

Boise City, Juue 22.—8 y arrivals 1
hero last night, the previous reports
of the Indian outbreak near Salmon
uro substantially confirmed. The
scene of the first massacre was on
the Salmon river, and the tributaries
of that stream coming In from the
northern side, draining Camas prairie
and the neighboring mountains.
The settlement was culled Camas.
The prairie covers the foot of the
hills to the north of Florence Moun
tains, extending several miles norm
ward into the plaiu, which lies be
tween Florence Mountain nod the
breaking down of the table land
called Craig's Mountain. Mt. Idaho
is about the centre of a range of
settlements on Camas prairie, situat
ed at the foot of Florence Mountains,
UJ miles from Lewiston. The settle
ment on the Salmon river and its i
tributaries lie to thesoutband south
west of Mount Idaho, at distances
varying from 15 to 30 miles. The In
dians did not kill the women and
children, but allowed them to be
taken under an escort of friendly
squaws to Slate Creek, which had
thus far been left undisturbed. At,
Slate Creek, tbe whites have fortified
themselves in a stockade fort, into ;
which has been received the wives
and children of the murdered men,
together with the families of the
men who had escaped the massacre.
hemmed up in a FonT.
Gathered in this place are tho fol
lowing persons; Mrs. Henry Elfers
and two children, husband murdered
at John Day’s creek; Mr. Sherwood,
wife and daughter; H. Tilman, wife
aud several children ; Mrs. Osborne
and five children, husband
murdered at Harry Mason’s, on the
Salmon river; the sister of Harry
Mason murdered in his home; Mrs.
H. C. Brown, husband murdered at
his store on the Salmon river; Mrs.
J. J. Manuel and two children, hus
band murdered at White Bird post
office; John Woods, Charles Ford’s
wife and four children; Mr. Cohen,
wife and several children; Win.
Bhett, wife and several children.
These women are thus shut up in the
midst of hostile Indians, without
aid, will certainly bo overpowered
and murdered, and the Indians de
clare their determination to take
fort and murder the men. It cannot
be hoped the Indians will again
spare the women and children after
the losses they must sustain in cap
turing the fort,, as the men will fight
i to the last.
SAVING TUK PROPERTY.
Our informant says lie is reliably
| informed ihe Indians did not tire a
single building or destroy any prop
erty, but cleared the country of stock
which they have driven to the south
of Hulmou river. They seem to hope
they will will be ultimately the un
disturbed proprietors id' all the prop
erty the whites are now compelled to
abandon. They think, not without
reason, that before tho country is re
gained from them an army must be
created, and a long and doubtful
campaign passed through. The In
dians have now
* THEIR PRINCIPAL CAMP
and headquarterters on tho Salmon
river just below tbe mouth of a small
stream ('ailed Skookurnchuck, while
ttie stock is gathered and pastured
on an extensive triangular shaped
region formed by Snake and Salmon
rivers and the high mountain range
lying about the sources of the Pay
ette aud Weiser rivers. Here there
is abundant pasturing for summer
and winter. Here they will doubt
less mane their final stand. Iu con
tradiction to previous reports that
the troops behaved badly, our in
formant says that by citizens who
were in the light he is assured that
the troops, though they allowed
themselves to be decoyed into an
ambush, displayed throughout the
action tho utmost gallantry, and
fought like tigers. About, twenty
five or thirty soldiers were killed in
about tbe same number of minutes.
THE SITUATION
in northern Idaho far exceeds in
gravity any Indian outbreak of our
day, aud it will tax tho best re
sources of the Government and of
the people immediately interested to
subdue the Indiansand restore peace
to tho country. Tho Indians know
the army on this coast is a skeleton
and the people are helpless from
want, of arms.
The Knit of t,ne Molly Manulre*.
The execution of eleven men in one
day is not a pleasant thing to talk
about. Particularly it is unpleasant
when the men were hanged for offen
ses of the same class and series, acts
in the same conspiracy, and When it
was proved < hat, guilty as they were,
they were not tho only guilty men—
perhaps not the most guilty. The
execution in Pennsylvania yesterday
was an act of justice without any
parallel, considering all the circum
stances of it, in the history of this
country, and indeed, without, any
strict parallel in any history. It is to
t>e hoped, for the sake not only of
the peaceof Pennsylvania, buttorthe
sake of common humanity, nothing
like it will ever bo needed again. If
the necessity of so terrible a vindica
tion of the law shall bo averted here
after, the fact that the lives of these
men were not spared will have much
to do with averting it. That tho ex
ecution, terrible as it was, was abso
lutely just and highly necessary, no
person who does not disapprove al
together of capital punishment can
doubt. It was the full, and we rnay
hope the final, triumph of law and
order in Pennsylvania over anarchy
and violence. Before these men
could be brought to justice anarchy
and violence had for a long time,
overridden law and order in Pennsyl
vania, as they hail never done iu
any other of the old and settled
States. The worst that has been
told of Sheffield was not
worse nor blacker than what has
been proved of Pennsylvania. Like
the story of the “Sheffield Assassin
ation Company, Limited,” the story
of the Molly Maguires shows upon
what a seething underworld of sav
agery our modern civilization pre
cariously rests. It seems strange,
that in a country so new, so rich, so
uncrowded as ours we should already
| have come, even io one industry and
l at one plane, to the Sheffield pass.
It ought to be a consolation to us
that the revenge of society upon its
enemies has been swifter and sharp
er among the coal-miners of Penn
sylvania than among the cutlers of
Sheffield. It mnv ho that, the trades
unions of Sheffield wereund are more
effectively organized and managed
than the trades-union of which the
Molly Maguires were tho monstrous
product. But we believe the more j
emphatic result to bo due
also to the courage and energy
of Mr. Gowen and to the skill of
ihe men whom he employed to
fasten their crimes upon the offen
ders who yesterday paid the penally
of their offences. So appalling an ex
ecution Is not a thing to be lightly
spoken of; but it ought to be a cause
of leal thanksgiving. The memory
of these men iu the minds of all who
have seen theirexeciuion, or learned
of it by report, must remain for this
generation at least an awful warning
of the limits set by religions laws to
the right of combination ou ihe part
of laborers against their employers.
It ought to be a sufficient, proof of
the power given by our institutions
to labor not only to protect itself,
but even to entreuch up in the rights
of capital, that this great chastise
ment of crimes as great lias only
been achieved by extraordinary ef
forts, conceived and carried out liter
ally at. ttie peril of his own life, by a
man of much more than ordinarv de
termination and perseverance.— N. Y.

ALL THE GUILT NOT ON THE SIDE OF THE
MEN WHO WERE HANGED LAST THIJRS- ,
DAY.
To the Editor of the San :
Sir—On Thursday, in the mining
districts of Pennsylvania, eleven
human beings, men of flesh and
blood, of bone and sinew, men with
immortal souls who go before their
Maker to render up their final ac
counts, were put to death. Left us
hope that in the next world they may
receive the mercy denied to them in
this. The journals throughout tho
country will doubtless indulge in
numerous homilies bearing upon the
crimes of these unfortunate men,
and pointing to their fate as a tri
umph of those Principles of law and
order which should always prevail in
such a just, honorable, law-abiding,
and God-loving community as that
of the great American people is uni
versally recognized (by themselves)
to be. But there are two sides to
every question, and at least two
lights in which to view every sub
ject.
Grievous, indeed, have beou the
crimes of these men ; yet, perhaps,
we may find in examining the motives
which actuated them, some extenua
ting circumstances that might have
tempered justice with mercy and con
signed them for the balance of their
days to the prison cell rather than
have launched them, shrouded in
mental and moral darkness, into
eternity.
The coal regions of Pennsylvania
arc notoriously owned and controlled
by a few (once) powerful corpora
tions, who, from mere transporters
of coal, have grown into the almost
total ownership of the regions from
which this valuable sLaple is drawn.
Between them and the mining popu
lations whom they assume to rule,
there has existed for years the same
bitter strife wo see constantly arising
upon every side between organized
capital and organized labor; and out
of this strife have been evolved the
crimes for which the ignorant, itn
bruted Mollies have atoned with
their lives.
Now I ask any fair-minded man
who is familiar with the Pennsylva
nia coal regions whether tho corpor
ations controlliong thorn have dealt
in a spirit of fairness, honesty, and
justice with those of their lellow
men whose destinies chance has
placed in their hands? Has aught
been done to elevate, improve, and
humanize the most hard-worked and
least-favored class of our laboring
population? Have facilities for edu
cation, for moral aud mental im
provement, even to the extent of
those provided for the Southern ne
gro, been extended to these poor
Northern white trash, who, with
pick aud spade, arid with lives in
constant peril, bravely hew out a
vast portion of our national wealth?
Have they not, on the contrary, been
trodden down and almost refused
recognition as members of tho great
human family? Emerging from the
damp, dark, noisome mine,
where the sunlight never peno
trates, they find themselves
herded together in rude, un
painted, hare, comfortless shanties,
with nothing refining or civilizing
in their surroundings. Seeing
themselves and their offspring con
demned to an existence beiow that of
the brut, is it to be wondered at that
ihey learn to hate those whom they
believe to be soulless oppressors, or
even that they are led on to shed the
blood of those to whom iri their igno
rance they naturally ascribe their
wretched condition of life ?
Lot, ihe capitalists who revel in tho
wealth extracted from the very life
blood of these miserable people once
realize and perform toward them
ttie sacred duty of man to man, a
duty which t.ney have long and
wilfully ignored ; let them extend to
the benighted coal miner that hand
to helping fellowship which Christ
so freely pur, forth, and the records
of such events as that, which darken
ed Thursday will soon be wiped for
ever from our calendars.

ENGLAND TO OCCUFY EGYPT.
Special to tUn Democrat.l
New York, June 22.—A London
special says that Count Shouvaloff,
tlie Russian Ambassador, at the re
quest of Earl Derby, has put on pa-
I per assuraiices in regard t<> Constan
tinople which he had made verbally
I aud somewhat vaguely. These em
body the following points:
Russia will propose a temporary
occupation by her forces of Constan
tinople, undertaking to evacuate the
city on receiving a full indemeity for
the expenses incurred by her in the
prosecution of the war, and will also
propose guarantees that certain re
forms heretofore suggested in the
administration of tho government of
the Turkish provinces shall be faith
fully carried into operation. It is
certain that any proposition invol
ving a sacrifice of the Turkish mari
time force in the Black Sea will be
rejected bv Great Britain.
Arrangements have been effected
bv which England, with the consent
of the Khedive and not in opposition
to the wlshc* or the Sultan, will be
granted the privilege of.occupying
Egypt with a force of some 20,000
men, under Gen. Sir Thomas Steele.
Tbe required force is ready, and for
this contemplated occupation camps
and other necessary arrangements
have already been made in Egypt.
siewlniv Machine* on Installment*.
In a suit before tho New York Court of
Common Picas on Monday, brought by
a sewing machine agent to obtain posses
sion of a machine bought on the install
meat plan,” Judge Daly said: “1 will
never give my sanction to tbe enforce
ment of such an agreement as tbo one iu
this case. It is upon its face grossly un
just and designed to take an nncor.scion
ttble advantage of tbe ignorant, poor, mid
needy, lly its terms the sowing machine
is sold to the plaintiff for $75. Fif
teen dollars of this amount, it is declared,
is to he paid in advance for the use of the
machine; the rest was to bo paid in month
ly installments of $5 each, and if the wo
men fails in the last payment it author
izes the venders to enter her premises and !
repossess themselves of the machine; so
that lor a failure to pay the last $5 they !
get the machine and tbe S7O that may
have been paid on it. Ami in addition to
this there is a further covenant, tho con
sideration ot which is declared to he the
‘foregoing easy terms’—that waiving any
right in existing laws to the contrary; she
will not bring any suit against the ven
ders nr their agents for any damage done
to tier person, her property, or the per
sons of her family in the recovery of the
machine. It is a reproach to the law
that such an agreement should lie allow
ed to be carried out in any of the provis
ions, and it would subserve the ends of
public policy to hold that no recovery
can be had under it from its papable in
justice.”
Louisiana Sugar. —ln Mr. B mclic
renn’s annual statement of the Louisiana
sugar crop, which we consider strictly re
liable, we find much interesting and val
uable information. The amount ot su-!
gar manufactured in the Slate last year,
was 190,672,570 pounds, with 190,024,108
gallons ot molasses, an increase over the
proceeding years crop of something over
20,000,000 pounds of sugar. This crop
was made from a little less than 105,000
acres of cane and the acre throughout the
sugar region was 1817 pounds of sugar
and 114 gallons of molasses, worth, ap
proximately, at last, season’s prices, $lB5.
A State, ttie soil of which makes such
generous return for the care and cultiva
tion bestowed upon it, ought rap
idly to become rich and prosper
ous, as Louisiana is certain to
become within the next few years.
Tho resuhs given above show that at
present a system of cultivation much
more thorough and efficient is being prac
ticed in the sugar region than was the
case prior to the war. When the Louisi
and sugar planters made half a million
hogsheads of sugar they thought an aver
age of 1200 pounds of sugar to the acre a
a satisfactory yieid, and the avarage was
generally far below,this. Last year tbo
gross product of every acre of land where
on cane was grown for the mill was
about (is much as the value of four bales
of cotton. Is there another solid hundred
thousand acres of agricultural land in
America ttmt produces nearly twenty mil
lion dollars a year?— N. O. Democrat.
Hiir Cholera, or Sly I'ever.
The loss sustained by this terrible dis
ease among hogs from year to year is
simply fabulous. An intelligent statis
tician of tho Department of Agriculture—
Mr. Dodge—reports, as a result of the in
vestigation of losses from this cause dur
ing the past twelve months, tho destruc
tion of 4,000,000 animals of all ages and
the money lost at more than $20,000,000.
One-fifth of the reported loss occurred in
the State of Illinois. Next in prominence,
are Missouri,lowaandlndiana, which, to
gether, lose $10,000,000.
The National Lire Stork Journal re
marks that the country is Hooded with
[nostrums for the cure of this disease, but
it is safe to say that no specific lias yet
been discovered. It seems to be a pretty
well settled conclusion among veterina
rians that the disease is an intestinal
i'ever, very similar in its nature to typhoid
fever in tile human subject. Tho various
remedies, antidotes and preventives that
have been from time to time published,
have but little practical value,: — Knox

A New York letter of Tuesday says:
“Tho Cotton Exchange this morning, set
tled the holiday question, voting to ad
journ over from Tuesday, July 3d, to Mon
day July Blh. This will be tbe longest re
cess in the history of the Exchange. The
resolution was carried with but little op
position. As the Stock Exchange usually
follows the lead of the cotton merchants in
matters ot thiskirid, curiosity is expressed
as to whether Wall and Broad streets
will consent to ho protracted a suspen
sion. The probabilities are that they
will not. A New York stock speculator
with four days’ spare time on his hand
would lie an anomaly. As for the Pro
iluce Exchange it cannot bo expected to
adjourn over for' so long a period, us
much perishable merchandise on consign
ment would be apt to spoil on its hands.
The cotton speculators iu this respect lvavc
a great advantage. They deal in ;iu article
j that does not spoil in warm weather es
pecially ‘futures.’ ”

For restoring Gray Hair to

original color, with the gloss and
freshness of youth. Thin hair is
't hickened, falling hair checked, and
baldness often, though not always,'
cured by its use. Nothing can re
store the hair where the follicles are
destroyed, or the glands atrophied
and decayed. But such as remain
can be saved for usefulness by this
application. Instead ol'fouling the
hair with a pasty sediment, it will
keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off,
and consequently prevent baldness.'
Free from those deleterious sub
stances which make some prepara
tions dangerous and injurious, to
the hair, tho Vigor can only benefit
but not harm it. If wanted merely
for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desir
able. Containing neither oil nor
dye, it does not soil whito cam
bric, and yet lasts long on the hair,
giving it a rich glossy lustre and a
grateful perfume.
