The fire started in Murphy's Hotel and spread to John Pankey's liv- jnbt1»nt and the manufacturers satisfied, i The s«'ale as signed has but one change from that first presented. The manufacturers Insisted that the nine hoars heat must bo extend­ ed, and at the last moment the men agreed to make it nluo hours and fifteen minutes. This wholesale signing of the scale is expected to bring in the. Mahoning and Mieuango Valley operat­ ors, who are now the on y objet tors.

In the last named district there is but one other union mill, all being unorganised, owing, principally, to trouble with the millers a few years ago. AT I'ottsville, Pa., the Flshback Roll- <ng Mills, operated by the Pottsvllle Iron and Steel Company, closed down. The men refused to work unless the company sienedthe Western scale,which they positively refused to do, and the fires were drawn and 1,000 employes marched from the works, fully deter­ mined not to resume their places until their demands had beon granted. AT Cleveland, 650 employes of the Union and Lake Erie Rolling Mill Com­ panies went out on a strlko. The trouble was all caused by the adoption of a nine-hour scale by tho Amalga­ mated Association of Iron and Steel Workers. Formerly they were paid by the tou. The companies refused cept the scale.

Italy's formal adhesion has been received by loth Austria and Germany, and the document has been signed oy Emperor William, who said in a conversation that it renewed the trtple alliance for six years. The Frencti Government appears to have had an inkling of what was going on, and the result has been an increas.ne irritability in the foreign policy of France and renewed efforts to exact pledges of co-operation on the part of the t zar.

Northwestern Iowa has been visited by the heaviest rainfall In twenty years. An eye-witness of the recent floods in the vicinity of Cherokee, states that it is necessary for one to see to have the least idea of the great amount of dam­ age done "Why," he exclaimed, "It is simply terribly wonderful the way that immense body of water swept things be­ fore it > Houses wi re but bubbles on its crest. I was at Cherokee when the cloud-burst came, and in less time than it takes to tell it a flood was upon the town. Houses were seen to tremble, swing hall around, and then carried along by the torrents. Trees were bent and broken like reeds and not a thing could stop the terrific onward rush of the water, and all this occurred before the people could possibly realize what had happened. The most remarkable feature of the disaster is that any of the people in the track of the flood escaped with their lives. As far as I know no lives were lost at Cherokee and the im­ mediate vicinity. * The storm rendered between 300 and 400 families homeless in and about Cherokee. These are being cated for in the Masonic, Grand Army of the Repub­ lic and Knights of Pythias halls at Cherokee. The Illinois Central lost 12,777 feet of roadbed and 5<85 feet of piling. This does not include the bridge takeu out over the Sioux River. The amount of damage will reach 8i50,00a As tho waters recede tho carcasses of catt e are landed and to-day thp stench from them permeates the air. It is es­ timated that hundreds of head of stock have been lost. Two miles of track of the main line of the Illinois Central has been wash'd out between Cherokee and Sioux City, aud it will take a week to repair the damage. The Onawa and Sioux Fall branches of the same road are in a worse way. and it will be about ten days beforo traffic can be resumed. Both wire connections are still broken. The Sioux River is sub­ siding, but It is still forty feet deep, and covers a quarter of a mile of country. The average depth of tho river when in its channel is about four feet. The work of cl&aring away tho debris is now in progress, and aid is leing rendered the unfortunate inhabitants. The town of Movllle Is still flooded aftd not one of the 200 inhabitants is able to occupy his house, and all are camping out. There is only 250 pounds of Hour in the town. The town is almost completely cut ofif from succor. Hundreds of horses and other Jive stock out in the fields in the valley were fearfully lacorated by the barbed wires carried down by the swol­ len torrent, in which the beasts become entangled. The damage at Cherokee is estimated at over £501',000. Tho river fell about ten feet, but was still twenty feet above low water mark. At ordinary stage of water tho river is only about 200 feet wide, while it is now 1,200 feot The engineer of the relief train which was the first to go from Fort Dodge to Cherokee after tho big storm, has return­ ed to this city, says a Waterloo special. It took them eight hours to run from Aurelia to Cherokee, and many times thev weflre compelled to stop on account of the rain, which came down in torrents. From Storm Lake to Cherokee the country resembled ono vast lake almost as far as the eye could leacta in every direction. Only water was visible, while debris of destroyed buildings, bodies of hor-e? and.*attle and other farm animals floated past Cherokee in large numbers. Slost of them were still struggling to escape, but the rush of the torrents pre­ vented their reaching dry land. The farmers along the line suffered very much. One farmer living south of Cherokeo stated that over 200 catt e are missing from his pasture, and he expects all are drowned. The nierc-hants in the small towns have had their stores under­ mined, the basements filled with water, and in many instances the water has come on the first lloors and damaged their goods extensively. At Cherokee seventy-five to one hundred houses are destroyedgand many of them have been swept avrav. The gravel train which was in the p t at Cherokeo is buried out of sight, tlio only portion of it that is visible being the top of the smokestack of the steam shovel. Superintendent Gileas reports that the damage to the Illinois Central track al­ ready in sight will foot up $200,000, and but l.ttle is yet known of tho condition of two branches from Cherokee. The water fell about ten feet at Cherokee, and many occupants of houses in tho flooded district ware able to regain en­ trance to-day. The ruin wrought made many a heart sick. Where the houses were not destroyed their contents are all covered with thick, black mud, ruining them. Throe hundred poor people in Cherokee are being fed and clothed by the relief committee, and a dispatch from there says outside aid will have to be asked. A. W. Thesher, a mail-clerk on i Mil* waukee and St Paul train that was water-bound, at Iiornick, thus relates, his experience: "Between Iiornick ancl) Hedge's Siding the track Is out in many places, and so great was the force of the water that tho rails were carried far from the roadbed. I got hungry, as did all the passengers. Our rations were rather slim, and so I made up m/ mind to come to Sioux City. I put my letter mail in a pouch together with my cloth­ ing and started to wade. I waded through fully a mile and a half of water between Iiornick and Hedge's, and in many placos it was up to my neck. At Hedge s I caught a construction train and rode into Sioux City. "The low lands are covered with water as far as you can sec. Field after field is submerged, and all over tho flats the water is from one to four feet deep in the first tloors of houses. The farmers have moved out to the high ground in nearly all instances. "I saw farmers wading in the water up to their waists pushing rafts, on which were loaded their families and household goods, ahead of them to the high laud. I>1> VNQMM la WaihiaftM CM!

VOB Aia The People of Iowa Asked to Aeaiat BOO Hoineleas Persons la Clu»rolce«N Gov. lioies. after surveying the flooded district at Cherokee, Iowa, issued ihe following proclamation to the people of the State: To THE PEOPLE or THE STATE OF IOWA: You have heard of the affliction which has fallen upon »oiue of the towns of our State. I have wade a personal examination of the condition In this city by coming here and going over the flooded districts and find that at least seventy-five families hare lost everything and some twenty-flve more have lost most of their household goods ond much of their clothing, while tholr dwell­ ings have been greatly Injured by the floods. In addition to this loss of bones and furniture and clothln; the county at large has suffered greatly In the less of nearly every t>rldgo, both icon and wood, within its limits. A careful estimate places the number of families which require help at once at 100, thus making a population of about 500 that require and will require for a considerable length of time to be cared for by tho char­ ity of our people. In addition to the above many of the surrounding towns have also suffered greatly, and will necessarily be compelled to appeal to the people cf the 8tate for aid. In view of this calamity I recommend that the Mayors of the several cities of the State and all other charitably disposed persons immediately take steps to organize proper committees to solicit aid for these unfortunates, and see that the same is promptly forwarded to Da fid H. Bloom, Mayor of Cherokee, for distribution am ng those of this city who have suffered losses, and to such persons as may be named by the i roper authorities of the other towns which have suffered from tho same calam­ ity. All contributions so forwarded will be faithfully applied to the purpose for which they are sent. Let contributions be prompt and liberal. HORACE BOIKS.

Matters at the Franklin (Wash.) coal mines have assumed a still more threat­ ening form, and Colonol .1. C. Haines wired to Seatt e for another company of mii,it"a to report,, at once and to bring ammunition, camp cqu page, and rations for a week s servi< e. Porter Robinson, one of the mine bosses, was brought to the city by a military guard, charged with killing Tom Morris and Ed J. Williams, leaders of the riot The first authentic information con­ cerning the riot was received from Franklin. At least 1,000 shots were fired during the r.ot, which lasted about thirty minutes and resulted in the death of Tom Morris, a white striker, who was killed instantly; Edward J.. Will­ iams, who was shot through the abdo­ men and died si£ hours later, and the wounding of four strikers, two women and one eolored guard The trouble commenced with tho return of the train at 7:40 p. m. from New Castle, which contained a number of Pinkerton men who had escortod a ioad of negroes to the latter mining (amp. The guards say that when the train was pulling into Franklin it was fired upon by some of the white miners in ambush, and that while no one was hurt bullets whistled through the windows of the train at a lively rate. The guards returned tho fire from the windows, and the engineer seeing the danger put tho train under full head and lan it to the depot, which is inside the dead line. When the train had stopped the white miners commenced firing upon the ne­ groes' camp. rJ hey were between two lircs, as the outside miners were situated on the flats below and oi. the hill above them. The negroes weut-porfectly wild, and all the efforts of tho guards could not restrain them. They kept within the camp 1 nes, and poured vo:ley after volley upon the miner.4 on the flats, who replied with equally as much vigor. riho miners on the hill kept up a good fire, but wdte answered shot for shot by the negroes. After the shooting intense excitement prevailed among the negroes, and they gathered about their camp in groups, threatening to make another charge upon the white miners. They were finally quieted by th^ .officers of the company. Three companies of militia are now camped between the strikers and the negroes. DUTCH COLONIES AT THE PAIR.

Six Men Leae Their Lire* Whlle^Work in( on a Coal lireaker, at Natalie, Pa. The Pattergon Coal Company's breaker, located at Natalie, Pa., was destroyed by a cyclone and the the following per sons were killed: J. N. Blossom, Hawley, Pa.; J. Bent- jy Dodson, Shickshinny, Pa.; Richard Roberts, and William Lodge, Luzerne- borough; and two unknown strangers. Lodge, Roberts, and the two unknown men were slaters and were engaged in roofing the breaker at the time of the accident. The other two killed were carpenters and met their while at work on the the Interior of the breaker. Shortly after noon tho sky in the north became black, and the darkness grew in intensity. The men perched on their high tower gazed on the advancing storm, expecting to descend in time to avoid the rain. Suddenly a terribio wind-gust gatiiered up the mighty struct­ ure as though it w. re a feather, and, whirling it around, dashed it to ruin. The men were mangled almost beyond recognition. . - ^ ONE THOUSAND ACljtKS OF Terrible Fire on Ilig lUiieliii Wear tea Hala--!, cak The eastern slope of Mount Tainal pias, California, on which are many magnificent summer homes, was report­ ed to be on fire. The San Rafael lire department was called out and a largo number of volunteers started out to fight the flames. The fire started on Barber's ranch, and burned about sixty acres of hay. The flames spread rapidly to J. J. Kittle s grounds, which were soon a mass of flames. Williams' Gulch, two miles from Ross Station, was on flre, and the flames ran up the side of tho mountain. Tho fire cohered an area of about 1,COO acres. The crackling of tho flames cou d be heard a mile distant, and the air was tilled with cinders and ashes. Another brush fire started east of town near the Hotel Rafael, and fifty acres of eucalyptus burned. Tho whole town turned out to fight this fire. As there was no water it was necessary to fight it with branches and sacks. tt. toai* Viiltad by a Quarter Ml,ton Do lar Blaxe.

There is nothing more refreshing than the faint, fresh fragrance of a properly made potpourri. It is now an easy mat­ ter to get a pretty Oriental jar in ortho­ dox shape for a trifling sum. The fragrance of a well made potpourri will last for years, but as the scent of the vaSfes sometimes grows faint, house­ keepers often make a fresh preparation each year as the rose season arrives. The following is a well-tested rule, which is republished by request: Measure out a liberal half peck of fra­ grant rose leaves. Pack them in a bowl in layers with salt, using a small hand­ ful of fine salt to three of rose leaves. Keep them five days, turning them twice daily. Do this'thoroughly. Add to this mixture three ounces of powdered allspice and one ounce of stick cinnamon. Let this mixture stand one week longer, turning it daily. Now put the prepara* tion into the permanent jar, mixing with it ene ounce of allspice, half a pound of dried lavender flowers, one ounce of bruised cloves, one ounce of stick cinnamon, one nutmeg coarsely grated, half a cup of ginger root thinly sliced, half an ounce of anise seed, ten grains of Canton musk, of the finest duality, and two ounces of orris root. Stir all the ingredients thoroughly to­ gether, and put them in a jar of suitable size to hold them. At any time add a few drops of attar of rose, or of any es­ sential oil or extract of flowers. Every morning, after airing and brushing out the parlor and dusting it, open the rose jar and allow its fragrance to diffuse through the room. In half an hour's time close it. A delicate, refreshing fragrance will be given to the atmos­ phere. A portion of this potpourri mixture may be perfeotly dried from moisture and used with wool to fill a slumber roll for the baok of a chair.-- JNew York Tribune. Chlokena a* Diamond Mtnea» A Hew York diamond dealer relates the following story: "A few days ago an unsophisticated couple, hailing from one of the flourish­ ing villages on Long Island, made their way into my office, and, after fishing out a small bag from the depths of an exaggerated hand bag, asked me to ex­ amine a stone it oontained. It was a diamond about half a caret in weight. The possessors, on being assured that it was genuine, nudged each other, grinned and looked as if they had suddenly acquired possession of a South African mine. "Inquiry on my part elicited the fact that the wife had discovered the treasure in the crop of a chicken pur­ chased at the regular market price from a local butcher. A few days later the couple called again, this time to sell the diamond. They informed me that wild exciteineut prevailed in their village, especially in the neighborhood of the butcher shop, which had been besieged ever since the discovery of the diamond by a crowd of eager women, seeking to invest their ready money in all sorts and conditions of poultry*"--Jewelern' Weekly*. ; ^ A Woman Stop* a Kunaw^jr, : Mrs. Bollin M. Squire, who is one of the noted horsewomen of New York, was out riding in Central Park one day recently, when a runaway saddle horse dashed by her. The rider, white faced, had dropped his reins and was clinging to his pommel for dear life, while the animal was bolting along at his topmost speed. Mrs. Squire's saddle horse, Harker, is one of the best trained ani­ mals in the world, aud as intelligent as a human being. He wheeled about, even before his mistress oould lightly pull the rein, and as she cave the word followed after the runaway. Harker is a Kentucky thoroughbred with a tre­ mendous speed and soon overhauled the bolting horse. Mrs. Squire quietly seized the fallen reins,, and as the two horses ran along together brought them gradually to a standstill, Harker doing his part as if he had been in the busi­ ness of stopping runaways all his life. The seared horseman was all oonfusion and thanks, of oourso. -- Neva York Frean. MURDER BY A NOTORIOUS DE8- MOINES MAN. S ; Y; In a Caiml-- Ra«e He Vires Wvmr Bnl# lefts Into m H.

Intense excitement prevailed when he was arrested, and^4^V;; cries of "Bring a rope!" and wl,ynch: *•*" him!" were heard on every hand. Forty policemen were necessary to escort hlut; to the jail. The feeling is so strong against Pierce that trouble may come a| ' any moment. Wishart was hit by fouf bullets, and a crowd of 500 people gath* eied at the Cit/ Hall when Pierce wail ' placed in Jail. For three years Pierce- was the leader of the Des Moines search* . f ers. He has shot several persons in thaft & : city, and on three occasions mobs hav#.'"-; " been organized to lynch him. The casef*; of Harry Lloyd and Terry Chamber* attracted great attention at the time... Another of his victims is in the Insan#'.. asylum from injuries received at Pierce'B: " hands. Heretofore Pierce has receive# J the support and sympathy of the tern* •„ perance people, b>it this crime is the last straw which any kind of publie ;/ opinion can stand. fC "£0 Pierce, who is a scavenger, drove one - - of his wagons toward the customary < dumping grounds oti lower West Ninth street. The officers had notified hiiik . ; that he had no right to uce the ground used by another or that which wiu^A-f/vv, owned by the city, Driv ng down Ninth street, he came about opposite the ne# crematory. Mr. Wishart, who is thf v legal guardian of the property in behalf # 1 of the city as foreman of the crematory^' ordered him not to dump there. O# * . Wishart's coat was the star of liis au ­ thority as an officer. The two men fell into a sharp dispute. Pierce ordered hiji ri men to dig again. They hesitated. MR ' Wishart, a revolver hanging at hi* 1" side, said: "I am an officer of the law^ t I have orders to allow no man to dump in the street They are going to pave and will not allow dumping." Pierc# said he had a right to dump somewherei,' ttnd that he would tear down the fence . which blocked the street, it being still unopened. Wishart said: "I have no *V; authority over the fence. You can teat' that down at your own risk, but tLut: ; i street I am here to defend " Pierie seized a shovel and made an attempt to dig. when, his rage overcoming him, he i whipped from the ho ster3 at his bolt two revolvers and jumped toward Wishart. - "Consider yourself under arrest," hi|: , ^ screamed. "I'll shoot you or any othctf . \) man that tries to stop me," and lired. . ^ Wishart ra sed his revolver to tiroback»( ^ In doing so his revolver came in contacts - ;; with Pierce's and was broken Whethet > ^ a bullet left it is a matter of doubt. • ^ Wishart, seeing his revolver was usele?^ lot it drop to the ground. The first bullet of Pierce struck Wishart in the arm. IJut Piercc, seeing his victim un-" armed, did not desist his murderous work. Ho fired three more shots, one, according to the statement of an eye^ >V|: witness, after Wishart had dropped fS^^t the ground. To the crowd which gathered and was " ^ gathering in he said: "Stand back, or . ^ there will be some more d* ad men.* With revolver in hand his wagon wa» driven down towaid the river where he nad concluded to go and dump. The/ . ; i patrol was sent for and Wishart wa*'. taken to the City Hall. Doctors were> * . called in and made an examination. Be*' •/ s des the wound in the arm a ho!e waa , | found in his abdomen. One of the e ther shct< had entered a little to the right o£ tho middle and lodged somewhere in hifc ba;'k. While in the City Hall Wishart ^2 ]ny in great agony on a pallet until Mrs. Wishart arrived. Th'a grief of the roc# woman was terrible to see. At las& for the sake of hor husband she was in- • d u c e d t o c o n t r o l h e r s e l f . T h e l i t t l e s o a ^ of the dying man also was t'leio. He had happened to be at the City Hall a* - his father was brought in He pushed: up to him to speak. Mr. Wishart said, nothing, but raised up his lips to kis» him. Ho was a manly little fellow of about twelve yeais and struggled hard to keep back the tears. He kept conr tiuually asking: "Tell me how he ia, A please. Will he die?" While Wishart was lying in tho City Hall basement the officers arrived with Pierce. The crowd had co iccted in great numbers at the first intimation that the notorious Pierce had killed a man. They we e jammed, about the City Hall so thickly that the oflicers had difficulty in opening a way through the mob. As he slipped out of his buggy the Marshal demanded his re­ volvers. He gave them up. A voice in the crowd cried out: "Where is the rope?" A look of dismay Hashed ever Pierce's features. Ho gave one look at the angry crowd, another at his weapons, now out of his hands, and then bounded up the steps. He was carried down titer stairs. On the way he was cursing and , swearing continually. He said: "Yott , can't put me in Jail. You've no right to. 1 demand bonds." Put, bonds or no bonds, he was hustled down. When he came to the door of the cells he waa- searched. The ho'stcrs were still on him. Then turning to the o:Mcers who- were searching him ho said: "What are you trembling for? Why, you shake- . like a loaf. Does it take six or eight; men to arrest one man? lean arre(t , a man alone and ha will come." / ' After a few hujried words, in which hb said he had acted in self-defense, Pierce was taken to the cage and put in. Whett brought down the lower hall he passed by the head of his gioaning victim, but he did not deign to give him a glance* and seemed actually proud of his deed. He was cool and collccted, having recov- . ered from his fright, aud continually taunted the officers. His lean, cadaver- -: J ous features aud furtive eyi s did not quail as he looked at any one, and his ' whole appearame was one of dare-devil delianco. ^ Two Hlnlt to Nittwfcere.

The constant motion of your right arm is sure to crush the tobacco aud loosen tbe wrapper, if the cigars be on the right side, and the re­ sult is more readily attained with the match end down. If you have to let a cigar go out and are not too fastidious to smoke an 'old soldier," do not pull in the last puff, but blow it through the burning end.
