THE sensation of the week in Chicago has been the great strike of the conductors and drivers of the West Division Horse Railway Company, causing a total suspen­ sion of street car traffic on the West Side, embracing over half the population of the city. Public sympathy was entirely with the strikers, and at empts to run the cars were met with determined resistance on the part of the populace. The company would start cars out from the barns guarded by squads of police and Deputy Sheriffs, but vast crowds would block the tracks, drive the men from the platforms, and return the cars to the barns or turn them upside down in the streets. Several of the drivers and conductors were assault- Ad with stones and clubs and severely in­ jured, and a number of the strikers arrested on charges of riot and disorderly conduct.

The victim was a friend, com­ panion, and fellow-countryman of the as­ sassins. While he was being shaved by one of them, two others threw a rope over the neck of the unsuspecting man, and, aftor choking him till life was extinct, hur­ ried out purchased a large trunk, and packed the remains into it. They then shouldered the ghastly freight, went into the street, hired an express wagon, carted the body to the depot and shipped rt to Pittsburgh. Two of the mur­ derers were t arrested in New York while in the act of purchasing pas­ sage to Italy with money taken from the clothes of their victim The trial of Joseph C. Mackin, of Chicago, for perjury in connection with the recent election fraud inquiry, resulted in a verdict of guilty, and a sentence of five years' im­ prisonment in the Penitentiary. rOLSTICAt.

THE South American Commission has reported to the State Department at Wash­ ington the results of its visit to Chili. In % conference with the Commission the President of Chili declared that there could be little trade between that country and the United States because their products were almost identical. He did not favor the re­ ciprocal treaty, nor the holding of a congress of delegates from all the American repub­ lics. He expressed a disposition to co-oper­ ate in securing the establishment of a com­ mon silver coin, to be coined by each of the American republics, and to be legal tender in all commercial transactions between their citizens. He thought commerce be­ tween the United States and Chili would be promoted if there could be direct steam communication between the two countries.

The Occupant* of a two-story frame! tenement house in Broadway, near the Nickel-Plate Railway station, were awak­ ened by a smell of smoke. A few minutes later the building was in flames, and a ter­ rible panic ensued, A number of families occupied the building, nnd the thoroughly frightened people fled by the stairways and ladders. All but three escaped, The un­ fortunates wore Fannie and Sarah Rosen­ berg, aged 8 and 11 years respectively, daughter * of a widow, and Rosa Meisel, their cousin, who was spending the night with them, Mrs. Rosenberg and her eld­ est daughter, Esther, who had been in the same apartment with the three who lost their lives, were rescued with much difficulty. Rosa Meisel was to have been married-next week to Theodore Frau, who slept in the sahie building. Frau was almost beside himself, and rushed madly through the flames and smoke in search of his affianced bride. Again and again he called her name, but received no response. He pounded on her bed-room door, but was not admitted. The flames were every second growing fiercer and the smoke more suffocating. He was about to give up in despair when he stumbled against a female figure in the hall. He thought it was his Rosa. Lifting the girl in his arms, he rushed to the window and sprang out, the girl pressed to his breast. In the leap ne broke his arm and re­ ceived other injuries. Once upon terra firma, he looked into the face of the qggtiden he had rescued. It was not the face or his affianced wife, but a girl named Cohen, of the same age, and same build as his sweet­ heart. At that very moment Rosa Meisel was struggling with death in her room above. The noise and confusion had not awakened Rosa and her two room-mates, the Rosenberg gir's, until it was too late. While the other occupants of the building were leaping from tne windows or being rescued by ladders, the cry ran out that there were three girls in a rear room. The firemen scaled ladders, climbed into the windows, and at'empted to search the sec­ ond floor, but amid the flames and smoke they found no trace of human beings. Some time afterward a search was made, and the three victoms were found in their room, showing unmistakable evidence of & desperato struggle. It is reported that Frau has gone insane from grief. iisr" •"' RAILWAY BUILDIK& Nearly Nine Hundred Miles of Track Laid In Six Months.

This is not a very large showing compared with the figures of the preceding years, and yet it is larger than per­ haps might reasonably be expected. The (States showing an addition of titty miles or more are Georgia, Florida, Kansas Missouri, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Texas, and in these States, as well as in California and Pennsylvania, from four to six lines each have been under con­ struction. Our records for a number of years show that the new mileage report d within the first six months, during a considerable part of •which work is wholly suspended in many parts of the country, represents not more than from 25 to per cent, of the total for the year. Be­ sides this we have record ot a large number of roads, in addition to those already reported upon, on which tracklaying will be in progress during the year. Hence we consider it safe to estimate that the total addition of railway mileage during 1H85 will not be less than 3,000 miles, and may reach 4,000 miles. THE MARKET! $6.80 4.25 1.00 .99 NEW YORK.

[Vincennes telegram.] The Knox County Poor Asylum for ten years has had an inmate named George Steffey, who was brought there from the State Insane Asylum. Steffey was dumb and helpless, and had to be helped to and from his meals. He sat in one position al­ ways, his head bent forward and his hands between his knees. He never articulated a word during the ten years he was at the asylum, and the physicians pronounced him incurable. Last Friday he was Been in the yard, and when some men got after him he ran half-a-mile before he was caught. The Superintendent got into a scuffle with him and slapped him in the face, when Steffey looked up at him and said; "Don't you do that again." The Superintendent was Btartled to hear the dumb man talk, and, returning to the asylum, Stetiey has acted as rationally as any one. He does not know anything of the past, and seems to have awakened suddenly in a new world. He is easily frightened, but realizes that a wonderful change has come over him. He can give no information concerning his ten years of silence and stupidity, and knows nothing of his past. §6.00 .96 9 ' .49 & .38 ($12.00 <g> .94 & .47 & .83 0 6.50 & 5.50 m 4.50 & 4.50 (($ 4.75 THE CHOLERA SCOURGE. Dwulu by the Hundreds in Ferran's Inoculation Fx*. I!!*** , •, [Madrid dlspatath] The total number of new cases of chol­ era reported Monday from the infected dis. trict in Spain is 1,322, and the total num­ ber of deaths 602, being an increase of 30 per cent, in new cases and 6 per cent, in deaths over the total number officially re­ ported Sunday. fAlcira (Spain) special to Chicago Tribune.] J)r. Ferran, accompanied byDrs. Gibier, Van Ermingen, Me adier, the latter the Bordeaux delegate, several other doctors, and the Tribune correspondent, visited the infected town of Alcira. They went to the sick-beds of fifteen cholera patients at the Hosp;tal de la Caridad and to pri­ vate houses. The visitors were escorted everywhere by a crowd of enthusiastic natives, who evidently regarded Dr. Ferran as the third Redeemer, the other two being, according to Dr. Fen an, Christ, the moral savior of mankind, and Dr. Pasteur, the physician-savior. Most of the patients are recovering. There are only two very bad cases there not inoculated. Mendacious official statistics set down the population of Aloira at 16,000. The real population is 20,000 or 22,000. Of these the correspond­ ent finds 9,100 inoculated, 7,500 of whom were reinoculated. After minute examina­ tion of documents the correspondent finds that rich and poor of the middle class have all submitted to be vac­ cinated. The most belong to the richer part of the town, while the non-inoculated include about 1,000 persons dependent on charity or comparatively poor, living badly, and, therefore, more liable to disease. Al­ cira was en the whole a thriving town. Two-thirds of the people have been vac­ cinated--women, children, and the rest chiefly small land-owners or workmen in tolerably comfortable circumstances. Alto­ gether 320 cases of cholera have been re­ corded at Alcira. Of these 130 died and 138 recovered, while fifty-two are under treat­ ment. The deaths of non-inoculated per­ sons were 130, against seven inoculated and three reinoculaled. Of" the inoculated and reinoculated, twenty were cured out of fifty of each category under treatment. On returning to Valencia the whole party was obliged to undergo the absurd pretense of fumigating. SHE IS INSANE. The Woman Who Shot 0'Donovan- Rossa Acquitted--Her Speech from the Witness Stand. [New York telegram.] In the case of Mrs. Yseult Dudley, on trial for shooting O'Donovan-Rossa, the testimony for the defense was to the effect that Mrs. Dudley was a sufferer from chronic mania. Mrs. Dudley insisted on going on tho witness stand and telling her story to the jury. She claimed that she was not insane, and stated that Bossa told her also that ho intended to blow up En­ glish vessels, and in that way strike terror to English hearts. He was a murderer. He had shown himself to be one. "You have no proof except his own word." "No, but I believed him.' I consider him a liar. If I am homicidal, it is queer that I never shot any one before. I have carried a pistol and had it lorded, too, since I was 10 years old. At that age I was liv­ ing in the country, and there was a great scare about mad dogs and hydrophobia, so that everybody--men and women--who were capable of carrying a revolver did so. I gave O'Donovan as fair a trial as a prisouer has ever had in your court. I shot him, and I am willing to take the consequences. I certainly shall not appeal. Even in this land of liberty I don't think a man like him ought to be permitted to go about advising indiscrim­ inate murder. I did not come here to shoot him. I am a good nurse, and was willing to take a position here. While in prison I was perfectly bewildered by offers from managers who wanted me to lecture. I an­ swered them all that I would consent only on condition that O'Donovan should come with me, and I would give a practical illus­ tration, aided by O'Donovan, of the . effect of dynamite in the human fame. If this met their views I would go." The jury, after deliberating five minutes, returned a verdict acquitting her on the ground of insanity. Why He Was Bonneed. IWaflhlngton special.) The Oourt of Alabama Claims has re­ voked the commission of Charles C. Olson, I who had been authorized to take certain testimony in Europe for the court. The following is a part of his letter to Con­ gressman Leopold Morse, of Boston, for which the court revoked his commission: In American politics I have always been a Democrat, but I do not allude to this as a mat­ ter of assistance, as under the new civil service act such a thing is out of the question. How­ ever this may be, I will hereby suRgest to you that if 1 can obtain the above mentioned posi­ tion (that of C onsul at Gothenburg) tlirousrh vour influence, I shall immediately upon being Informed to that effect from you forward my check to tho amount of $1,500 for services rendered. I ab o will render you such service abroad as in my power from time to time without any extra charpre. As 1 under­ stand the salary of this consulate is but a little over 1 er year, it is not for the income of this that I ask of you the assistance to obtain the position, but the main point is to establish an American trade in Gothenburg that will ex­ hibit American manufactures, and if yermltted by your government to hold a commission busi­ ness the otticlal position will bring a fair com­ pensation. Mormon Becruits. (New York telesram.] ' The steamship Wisconsin, which ar­ rived at this port from Liverpool this morning, had among her passengers 514 Swedish and Danish converts to Mormon­ ism. These were in the care of Elder J. Hansen, President of the Emigration Com­ pany. All ages we re represented, from the gray-haired grandfathers and grandmoth­ ers to little grandchildren. Fifteen mis­ sionaries were with the flock. This is the largest company of Mormon emigrants that has arrived in the United States since last summer, and it is stated that it will be soon followed by another equally as large. Near­ ly all of the people will settle in the rural districts of Utah. Some will stop in Salt Lake City, and a very few will go to Mexico. PORTLAND, Me.,has over fifty organized base-ball clubs. THE COUNTRY'S BUSINESS. A Review for the Last Six Months--The failure ltecord--An Improvement Ex­ pected. (New York telegram.] The review of the business of the coun­ try for the last six months, prepared by B. G. Dun & Co., indicates a more hopeful condition of business than has been gen­ erally anticipated, owing to the universal reports of dullness, want of profit, and prospective depression. Comparing the six months of 1885 with the same period in 1884, the number of failures has increased from 5,510 to 6,004,while the liabilities have decreased from $124,301,282 to $74,722,- 855. Of these failures, however, only 2,346, with liabilities of $28,001,000, are to be chargcd to the second quar­ ter, showing a progressive improvement That the improvement is due to general causes is shown by the fact that the same ratio of decrease is exhibited in the report from the Dominion of Canada, which shows failures numbering 090, with liabilities of $5,l(i<j,l()5, as compared with 752 failures and liabilities of $10,742,000 for the corre­ sponding period ot' 1884. The most marked decrease in the liabilities in any one sec­ tion is in this city, where they show only $8,800,000 as against $57,000,000 last year. That the failures are of much less im­ portance than heretofore is manifested by the decrease in the average liabilities, which in the last quarter show $12,000 per failure, as against $38,000 in 1884 and $18,000 in 1883. The review says: "There ought to be no reason why a marked improvement in busi­ ness should not ensue." MEXICAN FINANCES* Consolidation of the National Debt--The Maximilian Issue Kepudiated. (City ot Mexico dispatch. 1 111# Government annouricos in the Dia- rio OJlcial its plan for the consolidation of the entire debt of the country, with the ex­ ception of the floating debt, which is already provided for in an authorized issue of $25,000,(10;) bonds at six per cent. The con­ solidated debt will bear interest at three per cent., but the maximum interest will not be reached until 1800. Next year, 1886, one per cent will be paid; in 1887, 1£ per cent; in 1888, 2 per cent; in 1880, 2J percent.; and in 1800, 3 per cent. The National Bank of Mexico will have charge of the negotiations, aud the interest will be pay­ able iu the City of Mexico, in New York, nnd in London. The debt of Maximilian is formally repudiated. Foreign capitalists are reported to have advised this Government in this matter, and it is believed that now this complete financial readjustment will revive the credit of the nation abroad.

The expenditures show an increase of $18,500,000. The excess of receipts over expenditures in 1884 was $104,393,625. In 1885 it was $59,802,324. As compared with the previous year, the year just closed showed a falling off of $14,000,000 in customs, $9,000,000 in in­ ternal revenue, and nearly $3,000,000 from miscellaneous sources. The ordinary ex­ penditures show an increase of nearly $19,000,000, pensions of about $3,000,000, and a reduction in interest of over $3,- 000,000. Last fall, when returns from one-fourth of the fiscal year of 1885 bad been obtained, the Secretary of the Treasury estimated the customs receipts for the whole year at $185,000,000. They fall short of that nearly $4,000,000. He estimated the internal revenue receipts at $115.(!00,000, and they fall short of that $2,500,000.

Hereafter, says a Washington dispatch, it will be is­ sued from the nearest sub-treasury. It is hoped by this means to reduce the expense of transportation, and also to make it more convenient for the people to get silver, and so get more into circulation. It has been the practice hitherto to redeem mutilated currency at its face value if three-fifths of a note was presented in one piece. By rules promulgated to-day there must be nine-tenths of a note or a gold or silver certificate, or four-fifths of a fractional currency note, in one piece, to entitle it to be redeemed at its face value. These can be redeemed at sub-treasuries. United States notes, gold certificates, and silver certificates are redeemable by the Treasurer only, when mutilated to the extent of one- tenth, but nottwo-tcnths: at nine-tenths of their face value, two-tenths, but not three- tenths; at eight-tenths of their face value, three-tenths, but not four-tenths; at seven- tenths of their value, four-tenths, but not one-half. Fragments of notes, each con­ stituting clearly one-half, are redeemable at one-half the full face value of such whole notes.'

The Most Prominent Colored XJUI H|| Loobiau Ends His Own - S • Existence. . r. Qtetr Orleans specla!4 Andre Dumont, ex-Naval Officer at thir port, suicided this afternoon. Dumonl was one of the most eminent colored mea^ in the State, one of the organizers of th$ Republican party, and its most earnest^ energetic, ana continuous supporter. H# was an admirable organizer and canvasser,; and held in Buch confidence by all tho? " masses of the party that he was generall|. chosen as the figure-head in conventions, committees, etc. In 1876 Dumont wa$ elected as President of the Republican' . State Convention, over ex-Gov. Pinch* back, after a prolonged struggle. In 1880 he was Chairman of the Republican Executive Committee, and directed the can* * vass of the State, and in the late Presidential election he held the same office. He was a delegate to every Republican State Con# veution, and generally chosen as one of th£ delegates at large. He held various Stat®, offices, and represented for some yearB tho. Fifth District of New Orleans in the State Senate. He was an Inspector in the United States Custom House, and was appointed by 11 Hayes Naval Officer, which position he had held up to within a few weeks, when ho- voluntarily resigned, without waiting fo? Cleveland to appoint his successor, an* ; nouncing his intention to settle in Central America, and invest his money in fruit plantations. Dumont had been very de*; spondent for some years on account oi do»i;:^ mestic troubles, and frequently spoke o committing suicide. To-day he returned from a visit to the country gloomier thaii, «yer, and told his wife that he was going to, kill himself. She secured his pistol and hid it, but he found it and took it out. Sho- then locked it in a chest; he assaulted her and by violence wrested the key of tho- chest from her. She endeavored to prevent his carrying out his design, but he was* too strong for her, and succeeded1 in opening the chest and getting the pistol. Pursued by her he fled through the two- bedrooms and parlor to the sitting-room ii| : ^ the front of the house. She heard a shot, and when she entered the room-a moment 3 later she found him dead, he having placed i| the pistol in his mouth and fired, blowing : 3? out his brains. Dumont was 41 years age and a native of New Orleans. He had served as a Lieutenant in the French army,' and was with Maximilian in Mexico. Ho- was a very light-colored octoroon, and neither he nor his wife would have been taken for negroes. He was highly esteemed by all, his merits being acknowledged even by the Democrats. He leaves a very oom- fortable estate. TREASURY CIRCULAR. Relations 'Which Will Hereafter Govern the Issue and Redemption ot Currency and Coin.

DASHED TO DEATH. Awful Results of a Collision. [Erie (Pa.) special.] A frightful accident occurred on tho- Nickel-plate Road to-day, whereby three lives were lost Mrs. John Don'in, with her babe and little boy and nurse girl, Sade Mahoney, was riding in the caboose. The train stopped on a trestle over & ravine at Springfield, where it was run into by another freight. Mrs. Donlin grasped her babe and boy and ran. out on the p atform. followed by the nurse, when all were hurled over into the abyss, 100 feet in depth. Mrs. Donlin and the nurse were mangled to death, but the baby was caught in the boughs of a tree and may possibly recover. Mrs. Donlin held on to her child until it was torn from her grasp by the wires below. She was terribly mangled by the wires about the breast. Brakeman Thomas Fahey was seriously in­ jured in the collision. LEPROSY.
