The colored residents of Pigeon Roost, Birmingham, were wild with fright on Monday, and many fled from their homes. Early in the evening a large lion escaped from its cage in Forepaugti’s ten cent cir cus, and is now lying under a house in Pigeon R ost. The attaches of the circus could not be induced to go within one hundred feet of the beast. The third one of the four big furnaces at Ensley went in blast.

A suit in the common pleas for $lO,- POO damages, bsought by Geerdes against the Charleston Ice Com. any, for annoy ance caused by the smell of ammonia psed in the manufacture of ice, was end ed with a verdict for the company. A strange accident occurred in Charles ton. Two colored draymen, while at-, tempting to load a carb y of vitriol on a dray, smashed the carboy. The acid set fire to their clothing and also to the dray and mule’s tail. The two men and the tnule were badly injuied, perhaps fatally. Colored tenants on farms in various parts of the state have become imbued with the idea that they will not *be re quired to pay their rents, now that Gen. Harrison has been elected President, and many of them ate squandering their hp.rd-earucd money in the purchase of musical instruments and other luxuries. In Orangeburg county and othersections, some of t.re colored small farmers are turning out their stock to graze at large, as they think that President-elect Harri son will wipe the fence law out of exist ence when he g' >es into office.

WASHINGTON NEWS. WHAT THE UNITED STATES OF FICIALS ARE DOING. Washingtonians who kuew Gea. Har rison when he was Senator, say he does not touch wines and liquors, but he is a | great smoker. He does not force his ! teetotalism upon bis friends, however, I and does not feel that everybody is called upon to adopt his personal habits. The proposed annexation of Canada to the United States is being seriously con sidered. It has, as if in a single day, be come a great national issue, and bids fair to become a question for the consid | eration of Congress at the present ses j sion. Senator Sherman, will introduce negotiations with the British government j and get from that country an expression I of opinion upon the proposed annexation. In the event the British government ; should receive the proposition with fa vor, there will follow the appointment 1 of a commission to negotiate a treaty for that purpose. ! The Postmaster-General’s report pre : sents concisely the condition and history of every division and branch. The total | estimated gross receipts for the year ended June 30, 1888, were $57,392,576. I The amount appropriated for the servics ! of this year is $60,860,233, or an excess i over the amount of revenue estimated oi $3,467,667, which will be drawn from 1 the general treasury should the total amount appropriated be needed. The total estimated gross receipts for the year ending June 30, 1890, $62,508,758. The ; probable amount of expenditure to be | made in carrying on the business of the | postal service for the year ending June 30, 1890, ns shown by estimates sub mitted to the secretary of tho treasury, is $65,812,073. Number of postoffices is 57,376, au increase over 1885 of 6,124. The free delivery service was extended to 169 additional places, under the act of January 3, 1887, making a total of 358 free delivery cities.

Secretary Eudicott has made his report to the Pre*'dent of the administration of the War Department during the fiscal ended June 30th last The total ex penditures were $41,165,107, appropria tions for the current fiscal year amount to $59,679,934, and estimates for the I fiscal year ending June 30, 1890, aggre i gate $44,632,507, as follows: Salariesand contingent expenses, $1,978,890; military establishment, support of the army and military academy, $25,293,372; public works, including river and harbor im provements, $13,785,234; miscellaneous objects, $3,575,010. The estimtes for river and harbor improvements represent the probable cost of such improvements if approved by Congress. All the stages and territories now have an active mili tia, sufficient under the regulations tc entiile them to receive ordinance and quartermaster’s stores from the United States, excepting the state of Arkansas ■ aud the territories of Arizona, Idaho and Utah It is hoped that very s con prac -1 tical instruction in sea coast defences, and the hand.ing of heavy artillery, may J be given to the militia and officers of the army may be relied upon to givo zealous aud cordial assistance. “By a generous supply of amunition for target practice to colleges where army officers are serving as instructors,” the secretary says, “it is possible that com pet tive ! contests in rifle shooting might, in time, | become as popular with some of these | inland colleges as boat racing now is at the universities of our seaboard.” Land has been secured as a site for an arsenal at Columbia, Tenn., and the title is now being examined by the department of justice.

A riot occurred at Lyons, France, on Sunday, owing t© popular discontent over the municipal regulations regarding the grand theater. The windows of the Journal Progres were smashed and the members of the municipal council were hooted. Finally cavalry were called out, and they dispersed the mob. The election in Holborn district of London, England on Thursday, resulted in the choice of Bruce, conservative, by a vote of 4,308 against 3,483 for Lord Compton, Gladstonian. In the election tw o years ago, Col. Duncan, conserva tive, whose death left the seat in Parlia ment vacant, had a majority of 1,700 out a total vote of 5,600. There is little doubt that the steamer “Allentown,” belonging to the Philadel phia and Rending Railroad Company, foundered off Cohasset, Mass. She was in a recent gale and all on board perished. She was an iron boat of 1,650 tons and had a cargo of coal for Salem, Massa chusetts. She cleared from Philadel phia. The socialist members of the German Reichstag published an appeal to thiei supporters to continue their agitation, and to collect funds for defraying the expenses of the next election, which is expected to take place in the Autumn ol 1889. The appeal concludes as follows: “The times ure now favorable to us as never before. Radical social reform is necessary, for the peasant citizen suffers equally with the workingmen.” On Sunday evening Miss Konnovskj was wralking along Fisk street, in Chi cago, 111., wheD she was attacked by a large Newfoundland dog. The woman scream ed aud ran, but the dog pursued her and jumped U[ on her back, tearing her c’oth ing and fastening his teeth in her flesh.

One German was wounded. THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE. Mr. Pruden, one of the President’s secretaries, was announced, and the Annual Message was delivered, to the House and immediately 1 read by the clerk. That portion of the Message in which the President treats of the tariff question was listened to at tentively by members on both sides of the house. Now' aud then a smile, more of triumph than of derision, would ap pear upon tho faco of some enthusiastic Republican, but the silence was not broken until the clerk read in a clear voice: “the came for which the battle is waged is comprised within lines clearly and distinctively defined. It should never becompr raised. It is the people’s cause.” Then the Democrats could no lounger restrain their feelings and broke into a round of applause, which was an swered by the Republicans with derisive laughter. The President’s reference to the Sackville-West incident provoked a laugh from the Republican side of the House, but no counter demonstration was made by the Democrats. From this point interest in the Message slackened. Mr. Mills, of Texas, was the only mem ber who paid the slightest attention to the further reading, and the * noise of conversation was so great that this was no easy task. When, at 3.15, the read ing was complete 1, Mr. Miils offered a resolution, which was agreed to, refer ring the Message to the committee of the whole and providing for its printing. On the subject of trusts and “combines,” he said: “As we view the achievements of aggre nated capital, wo discover tho existence of trusts, combinations and monopolies, while the citizen is struggling far in the rear or is tramped to death beneath an iron heel. Corporations, which should be the carefully restrained oreaturyi of the law and the servants of the people, are fast becoming the people’s masters. Still congratulating ouiselves upon the wealth and prosperity of our country, fc id complacently contemplating every incident of change inseparably from these conditions, it is our duty as patriotic citizens to inquire at the present stage of our progress, how the bond of govern ment made with the people has been kept and performed, and instead of lim iting the tribute drawn from our citizens to the necessities of its economical ad ministration, the government persists j under the same laws by which these re- . subs are produced, the government per- J mits many millions more to be added ( to ! the cost of the living of our people and j to be taken from our consumers, which unreasonably swells the profits of a small but powerless minority. Our farmers, long suffering anapatient struggling in the face of life with the hard st and most unremitting toil, will not fail to see, in spite of misrepresentation and misleading fallacies, that they are obliged to accept such prices f« their products as are fixed in fore g® markets where they compete with the farmers of the world; that their lands are declining in value while their debts increase; and that without compensating favor they are forced by the action of the government to pay, for the benefit of others, such en hanced prices for the things they need, that the scanty returns of ilieir labor fai to furnish their support or leave no mar gin for accumulation. Coiumuni-m is j hateful thing, and a menac< to peace and organized govern ment. But the communism of com bined wealth and capital, the out growth of over weening cupidity and selfishness which insiduously undermine. 1 the justice and integrity of free institu tiocs, is not less dangerous than th< communion of oppressed poverty and toil which, exasperated by injustice anc discontent, attacks, with wild disorder, the citadel of rule. The department of agriculture has continued with a good measure of suc cess, its efforts to develop the processes, enlarge the results and augment the pro fits of American husbandry. Its records of the year show that the season of 1888 has been one of medium production. A generous supply of the demands of con sumption has been assured, and a surplu; for exportation, moderate in ceitain pro ducts and boun'ilul in others, will prove a benefaction alike to buyer and grower. Four years ago it was found that the great cattle industry of the country was endangered and those engaged in it wen alarmed at the rapid extension of the European plague of pleuro-pneumonia. Serious outbreaks existed in Jllinos, Missouri and Kentucky aud in Teums see. Animals affected were held in quarantine. Five counties in New York and from one to four counties in each o the states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania. Delawaie and Maryland, were almost equa'ly affected. V\ ith this gieatdaugei upon us, ami with the contagion already in the channels of commerce, with the enormous direct and indirect losses al ready being caused by it. and when only prompt and energetic action could be successful, there were in none of these states any law s authorizing this depart ment to eradicate the malady or giving the state officials power to co operate with it for this purpose The depart ment even lacked both the requisite ap propriation and authority. By seeking state co-operation in connection with the authority fiom Congress, the work ol eradicdion has been pressed successlully, and this dreaded disease has been extir pited from the Western st a es, and als from the E is.ern states, width are still under supervisi >n. The danger has thus been r m >ved and trade and commerce have been freed from the vexatious stati of restrictions which were deemed nec essary for a lime. During the past four years the proces of diffusion, ns applied t • the manufuc ture of sugar from s rghiim and eugu cane has b en introduced into this com try and fully perfected by the expeii ments carried on by the department of agriculture. This process is now uni versally considered to be the most eco nomical one, and it is through it that the sorghum sugar industry has been estab lished upon a firm basis, and the road to its future success opened. The adoption of this diffusion process is also extending in Louisiana and other sugar producing parts of the country, and will doubtless soon be the only method employed for the extraction of sugar from the cane. Many other matters were touched upon by the President, the document occupy ing a space of nine columns in the daily papers. DISINFECTING. As an indication of the thorough man ner in which disinfection will Re pur sued, Dr. Porter addressed the following uotice to physicians in charge at Jacksonville, Florida: “Instruct the foreman and operatives of each squad, that thev Drovide thomcnlxroo wrjth WAr Jr ing suits of clothes, to be, worn only when performing disinfecting, and to be changed on going home to meals and at night, and leave at the office on Pine street. The object I wish to attain is that the clothing which will come in contact with disinfected ones shall not come in contact, with persons not having had tho fever or uninfected articles. When the general process of disinfection is through with, the operatives of the department must have their clothing thoroughly disinfected by the super heated steam process before returning them to their homes.” The work of dis infecting begins at once. The disinfect ing rooms arc tight compartments, ten by twelve by six and one-half in dimen sion, and closed by trap doors, which are raised on hinges by means of pulleys. There is one steaming room aud two drying rooms. The floors of the rooms are covered with steam pipes, those in the steam room being perforated every six inches to all<>w r toe escape of fine jets of steam. For blankets and 6uch other ar iclcs of clothing as can be ; saved, three large cylindrical vats have j been prepared, where they will be thor- i ouglily purified with boiling water, after which they will be wrung in a steam wringer which revolves with great ra pidity. forcing the water out. HARRISON’S VISITORS. Gen. James Longstreet, of Georgia, accompanied by his friend, Hon. E. A. Aogier and Alton Angier, of Atlanta, called on Gen. Ha rison at Indianapolis, lad. His visit is declared to be purely g social one and at the invitation of hi* o d fi%nd. Dr. Wilson, a neighboi of the President-elect, formerly the commander of O. M. Mitchell Post G. A. R., of Atlanta. On Sunday night, GeneraL Harrison presided at the fifty third <%iuiversary of the Indianapolis benevolent society. The audience num bered nearly 3,000. Gen. Harrison opened the exercises proper of the even ing with a few remark*. He recalled many meetings of tho benevolent society in contrast with this. It was formerly ihe habit to hold these anniversary meetings on evenings of Thanksgiving Day. Many of them, in earlier years of his recollection, were but sparsely at tended. Perhaps this was the result of lethargy of oveifeeding on Thanksgiv ing Day, for, notwith>tanding the sparse ate idance which sometimes rewarded tho invitation of society to its anniver sary, there has always been, he believed, a very widespread aud de ;p interest in the work of benevolence. THE PRESIDENT’B ESCAPE. The trill of John Hronek, charged with conspiiing to blow up the homes ol Judges Gary and Grinned aud Police Inspector Bouficld with dynamite, was continued in Chicago, 111. A German named Schneider told where Grinned live 1 and showed a plat of Al dine squaie, and on July 4th Hionek, Chapek and the witness went in search for the house. They finally found the house and took a good look at it. On the way home, Hronek sai I that Prc s'dent C eveland had a narrow escape when on his visit there. At that time he (Hronek) had a bomb realty to throw at the pre-d --deutial carriage, but was dissuaded by Schneider and Nikolaud. !S HE GUILTY ? An evening paper in Washington re rehearses editorially the chirges against Gover or Pei ry, of Florida, that he was respon>iole for the yellow fever epidemic, nnu then *ays; “It is a serious charge to lay at any man’s do r, and the governor will no <loub make a strenuous defen e in justifie.u'ion of his stubbornness In the face of the imped ng crisi .” COTTON.
