The hoisting-engine and boiler near tho shaft were covered by a small frame house. A good deal of giant powder is used in sinking, and since cold weather set in the bo\es containing it have been kept behind the boiler to pre­ vent freezing. There were several boxes of caps on hand and six boxes of giant powder. The roof of the hoisting-works caught fire, and in spite o£t'ie engineers' efforts tho flames got beyond control. They soon burned down to the caps, which exploded, and the concussion exploded the giant pow­ der in the boxes. The result was the most complete wreck of the houses in the neighborhood, about fifty being more or less damaged.

WBSTEK3 HAPPENINGS. AT Youngstown, Ohio, the body of James Kane was found in an alley. He .had been paid off, and was evident y murdered for his money. A saloon­ keeper named Durkin and his wife with a boarder named Frank Nary are held under surveil ance. THE Leland Stanford (Jr.) University at Palo Alto was opened with imposing ceremonies. For some days past exam­ inations have been in progress, and sev­ eral hundred students have been in attendance. The first class that matricu­ lates will be much larger than is usual with new institutions, students having come from all parts of the State and the Union. All the students and the faculty participated in the opening. A GRAVEL train on the Cincinnati Divis'on of the "Big Four" backed into a hand-car near Carrollton, Ohio.

This restriction is very galling to the Montenegrins, and they have more than once asked the advice of the Czar as to evading or defying it There is no doubt whatever that Russia advances the money to pay for these vessels, so that they will be virtually Russian ships of war, going and coming in the Mediter­ ranean. A BEKLIJI dispatch says that the Aus-" trian Government has notified the Ger­ man Kaiser's Government that Austria, whether invaded or not by Russia, will resist any attempt on the part of Russia to advance upon Constantinople. This is significant, as the arrangement be­ tween the members of the triple al I- ance does not require actual invasion of territory to make it necessary for all the members of the alliance to join against the common enemy, and should Austria attack a Russian force advancing upon the Turkish capital the attack would probably be followed by.a general Euro­ pean war. THE refusal of Russia to take a hand in coercing China is attributed in En­ gland to the dread with which the Rus­ sians regard China's capacity for injur­ ing Russia's interests in the interior of Asia. Russia has always feared a sud­ den and overwhe ming movement of the Chinese that would sweep back the Rus­ sian Empire perhaps to the Ural Moun­ tains This fear seems to be traditional and is as strong to day as when Russia was a Tartar province.

STAGE-KOKBKRS are making things lively in Northern Ca'ifornia. A special from Chico says a stage from that place was stopped by a lone highwayman, j who ordered the express box thrown out j "When he found it contained only a few | dollars he ordered tho coach to go on j and did not molest the passengers. The same fellow tried to ho!d up a miner who passed just before the stage, but failed.

Gadd was in love with the daughter of one of the wealthiest citizens of Lincoln, and she had promised to marry him in case he won the first prize in the orator­ ical contest He accepted the proposi­ tion, with tho above sad result THKKE is a good deal of excitement in Stevens County, Washington, over an alleged Indian uprising. It is said the Calispell Indians, with Kontenais from Idaho and Flatheads from Montana, are gathering in Pend d'Oreille Valley, near the mouth of the Calispell River. They have ordered white sett'ers to movo across Pend d'Oreiile River, which has frightened many, and women and chil­ dren have been sent across and cat­ tle are being driven over. The Indians are said to have obtained liquor, but Gen Carlin and other military authori­ ties think there is no danger. SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. A WOMAX giving her name as Jennie Saddler was arrested near Valley Mills, Texas, with two sto'en horses in her possession. She was dressed in male attire and -looked like a cowboy of eighteen years. AT Chattanooga, Tenn., as George Johnson (colored) was walking in com- Dany with two women and carrying a baby in his arms, he was shot by one of his female companions. Jealousy is evidently at the bottom of what will prove to be a murder. T. E. HAMILTON and S F. Vaughan, were lodged in jail at Fort Smith, Ark., for the murder of D'. R. Gage near Huntsville. Hamilton says he was hired to do the killing by Vaughn, who was involved in a lawsuit with Gage, the amount in litigation being about $300.

With B»ot* ani Orders On-Th«»r.+i«l Bsdisg of the Great Iv^ostwr's Life-- Story at His S*ocesses aad MU I»iigl»ee- (Ul Kndtag- The End of His t«W»W. . '; ; The *brav' General," Georges Ernest Jean Marie Botilanger, ex-Minister of War of France, shot himself through the head at Hru sols while standing by tho grave of Mme. Bonnemain, the woman who had been known as his mis­ tress since the stirring days of 1888. He fell forward on the grave, and was found by an attendant, who rushed in­ stantly to the spot, quite dead. The ball had been fired into the suicide's left ear, and the revolver was still clinched in his right hand. Mme. Bonnemain was the mistress of the house in the Rue de Berri, Parts, whither Boulanger resorted so frequent­ ly when he was at the top of his power. Though tho place was constantly wat •hied by spies it was from this house that Boulanger tied to England and with him went Si me. Bonnemain. She was his constant companiou in London, in Brussels and in Jersey, following his broken fortunes with the same fatuous devotion which she paid to him in the days of his apoarent prosperity. Her fortune of 1,500,000 francs was freely his. Mme. Bonnemain died July 17 last of consumption, and since then Boulanger has been in a stat > of unbroken melan­ choly. He frequently visited her grave, over which he caused to be erected an elaborate, .tomb On the morning of OEKEIUL BOULAXOKa his death the General went as usual to the grave, accompanied at a respectful distance by one of the attendants still attached to his person. The attendant from his retreat heard the General giv­ ing way as usual to lamentations, but suddenly these were interrupted by the report of a revolver, and when he rushed forward he discovered his mas­ ter's body bathed in blood The suicide was evidently premedi­ tated upon a tru'y theatrical scale. The dead man was in full military dress, and on his heart were pinned all the medals he had received from France for bravery in the field. There was a letter also, but this was seized by the authorities, who declared it was of too serious polit­ ical import to be made public except with the permission of the French Re­ public. Brussels Is In a state of excitement, and dispatches received from that city indicate that the sa-i o feeling prevails in Paris as well. In the absence of any interference (which is most unlikely), Boulanger will be buried where he fell-- by the side of the woman who devoted her life and her fortunes to him. Since the.t.hird Napoleon took posses­ sion of Paris upon that December night in 1851 no such attempt has been made, even in the South American republics, to estab'ii h the rule of the adventurer as that which was put forth by Bou­ langer in 1888. His efforts to overthrow the French republic by means of a coalition of the Orleanist pretenders and the army seemed at one time npon the very threshold of success By marvel­ ous intrigues with all parties ex­ cept the representatives of Napoleon he managed to obtain money and influence enough to establish himself not only with the Paris rabble but with the clericals and peasants throughout the provinces At tho elections of 1888 he seemed to be fully justified in issuing the famous manifesto in which he de­ clared that France could now "congratu­ late herself upon having reached the hour of her deliverance." And indeed there were ho^ts of intelligent people throughout the world who had come to believe that parliamentary government was impossible for France Boulanger was born at Rennes in 1837. His descent on the maternal side is Welsh. In 1855 he entered the mili­ tary college of St Cyr and was made sub-lieutenant in 1857. He served under Marshal Kanolon in the Kabyle cam­ paign. He also too« part in the Fran< o- Italian war, and was wounded at Ihe battle of Turbigo. In 1MS0 he obtained his full lieutenancy and two years later was promoted to a captaincy, having in the interim seen service in Cochin China. Just before the war of *1870 he became major. He was with Bazainc at Metz, but by some means escaped the fate of Marshal liazaine's army, and made his way back to Paris. He was then promoted to a lieutenant colonelcy by the govern­ ment of national defense and fought at Champlgny (Nov 30 to Dec. 2). After tho suppression of the commune Bou- langer's newly attained promotion was quashed by the grade revision commit­ tee, but was restored to him in 1874. In 1880 he became brigadier general. Be­ ing appointed to the command of the array of occupation of Tunis, Gen. Bou­ langer had a disasrecment with M. Camleon, the resident general, and was recalled. He then held the War Oliice appointment of director of the infantry division and became Minister of War in 188ti. When M. de Freycinet resigned and was succeeded by M. Goblet (December, 1886,) Boulanger retained his portfolio; but on the fall of M. Go' lct his name did not appear in the cabinet of M. Kouvier. Soon after this the General was dispavhed ta Clermont-Ferrend to take command of an army corps, re­ ceiving a great ovation at Paris on his departure. When the Limousin scandal broke upon Paris like a thunder c'ap General Boulanger commented very freely upon tho war minister's conduct, and was Immediately ordered under close arrest for thirty days at his own headquarters The govcrment having decided in March, 188", to cashier the General by placing him on tho retired list, he in­ augurated a vigorous campaign against the ministry. Vacancies shortly after occurred in the representation of Boulogne and the Nor.I. Here he was returnod by 59,500 votes to 35,750 polled by tho Opportunist candi­ date. In the Nord his triumph was still more remarkable, the uumber of votes polled for him being 172,528, against 75,901 for M. Foucart and 9,647 for M. Moreau. This was on the 15th of April, 188f, which, in a manifesto he issned to the electors, he declared would be marked in the annals of the country as a date of true deliverance. Subse* quently his popularity waafd, JOSEPH BALK!*' #• Vtoolly Stabs a Felkw>-I.show to Che B»»N, A desperate murder which was perpe­ trated »t the docks of the Western Transit Company, Chicago, was followed by a succession of events rivaling in sensational features the most lawless sections of tho far West A young lri«>4 dock laborer named Cornelius Sullivan was stabbed and in­ stantly Killed i»y a colored youth named Jo?ph Bales, and this deed was fol­ lowed by two determined efforts at lynching, Which, through a mere chance of circumstances, were in both cases unsuccessful. A crowd of 'longshoremen and laborers had gathered to receive their wagoi which are paid daily. Others were also on the spot looking for work. One of these named Sandy Smith was about to enter the oliice to cash bis timo check when he was accosted by a white dock laborer named Richard Taylor. A dis­ pute ensued and Joseph Bales steppod forward to interfere in the quarrel as also did Cornelius Sullivan. The latter asktd Bales why he wanted to interfere and Bales drew a knife and in an Instant drove it into Sullivan's chest, piercing the heart and causing instant death. To make sure of his victim Bales withdrew the knife and again buried the blade in the fallen man's neck. Alter stabbing Sullivan Bales retreated a few paces and waved the knife with the air of a desperado. The dead man's friends had gathered around the body, and finding life was extinct a shout of mingled rage and revenge was raised. It was taken up by the ever-increas­ ing crowd of strong dock-men, and a unanimous cry of "Lynch him," "Hang him," warned Bales of his insecurity. He started off at a rapid run, which served only to increase the fury of the crowd, and immediate pursuit was be­ gun. One of the foremost pursuers, William McGuinness, drew a revolver and tried to bring do\vn the colored youth. One bullet took etTect and Bales was seen to stagger and grasp his arm where the bullet had lodged. Another shot went wide and struck Jamos Dono­ van, who had joined the crowd. Just as the crowd closed in on Bales a citizen named Geo: go V alentine, who occupied a buggy, observed the condi­ tion of affairs. Calling upon T. C. Kane, and also to the man Alc'Juinness, he sei/.ed Bales and lifted him into the vehicle. With his pistol at Bales' head McGuinness guarded the murderer, while valentine drove speedily to the Chicago Avenue Station. The fact of Bales* escaping from its wrath seemed to excite the crowd still further. A cry was raised that Sandy Smith, who originated the trouble, was an onlooker, and before the luckless man could utter a word of remonstrance he was set upon by a dozen men. A cry of "Siring him up" was raised and re­ echoed by mauy throats, and in a sec­ ond a rope was procured. Trembling with the sudden fear of death, with his clothes torn to shreds, and blood tack­ ling down his face. th;> wretched tiian pleaded piteously for mercy. The blood of the mob was at fever heat, however, and a noose was quickly made and passed with no gentle hands over his head. He was hurried under a beam, and tho crowd closed in for the death. In an instant he would have swung aloft had not the crowd been rough,y parted, and a police officer, coatless and hatless. stood beside the terrified man. It was Officer P. Reynolds, who lives in an adjacent house. He had been awak­ ened from a sound sleep after a long night of duty. Leaping out of bed, he slipped on a pair ol: trousers, and, snatching up a brace of revolvers, rushed to the scene of the intended hanging. Reaching Smith, he cnied: "Stop; I arrest this man," and with a revolver in each hand holnterposed him­ self between the crowd and Smith. The crowd was so taken by surprise that for several seconds not a move was made. After the mob was deprived, of its second victim it returned to the YVestern Transit Company's premises, and here a crowd of sullen, vengeful men stood in groups all day. Cornelius Sullivan was known as a hard-working man and of a peaceable disposition. Bales, on the contrary, had earned a deputation for general tough- nesj. * THEIR ALL AT STAKE, . Farmers Unable to Stack Their Grain Secure Thrashers. If the immense wheat crop of North Dakota is to b^ saved, men and thrash­ ing machines must be hustled in there within the next few days. The St. Paul Jobbers' Union has aroused to the neces­ sity of helping out the farmers, and a special committee, which made thorough tour of tbe State, has made public the following report: Successive partial crop failures tor the past two or three years, coupled with the absolute immensity of their present crop, iind the farmers in that young and newly settled district wholly unpre­ pared tc> perform the increased labor thrown upon them. Instead of the regular increase in population by immi­ gration, such as bad occurred for many previous years, there has no doubt teen a decrease, so that, although harvest hands have been in active demand at high wages, few could be secured, for the simple reason that they are not there. Both the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern Railways have been sending men up there for two months past at nominal rates of fare, but the demand is far from being satisfied. This scarcity of men has prevented the stacking of grain, as is done in all the older sections of the Northwest, and to-day at least 80 Der. cent of the wheat 6tands in shocks in the fields where it grew. In this condition it is unprotect­ ed from damage by rata, and should a Tong period of wet weather set in there is no telling what damage may be done or how much of the magnificent crop maybe ultimately lost. In order to keep all the thrashing machines in the neigh­ borhood at work, the farmers are help­ ing each other and thrashing from the shock. It takes about twenty-five men to keep a machine running in this way, including the number hauling from the scattered shocks. Thus, while one man's grain is being thrashed that of ail his neighbors, who are helping him, lies at the risk bf damage and loss in their fields In many localities where crops have been poor, or have failed before, there are no thrashing machines to be had, and even this "help-your-neighbor" class of work is not being done Competent authority says that ]00 additional ma­ chines can find three months' steady work in North Dakota at better prices than are usually paid. It is certain that all who can be induced to go there can do sa About forty-five days more remain for plowing before the ground will freeze, when it cannot be done. It need hardly be said that prac­ tically no plow!ng has yet been done, for this work is never commenced anywhere until the grain has been en­ tirely secured either by stacking or thrashing from the shock. If the North Dakota farmers are left lo themselves the season will end with no plowing done. Without fall plowing next year's crops up there, with a season shorter at both ends than in this latitude, will be a great hazard, to say the least. It is of the ut.nost, imjfortance, therefore, that this present crop be sot out of danger at once, in order that the farmers can get to plowing, and this is one of their greatr causa* for present anfciejty. t • ^ - • - t p GUATEMALANS REVOLT.

Reportajhave been received of a rovo- lution in Guatemala in which 500 lives have Deen sacrificed. It appears that the people were celebrating the anni­ versary of their national holiday, and President Barillas bad personally ap­ pointed the orators of the day. To this the masses took exception. WVan the orators took the rostrum it ^as a signal for a storm of stones, whieh set t hem to flight, they being chased across the big plaza by a howling mob. An exciting scone followed, and every Barillas partisan was driven from the plaza. The news of the riot spread rapidly, and soon Barillas threw a battalion of infantry into the large square for the purpose of dispersing the mob. They, with fixed bay­ onets, attempted to carry the plaza by assault. They were met with a shower of stones and by a fusil­ lade from revolvers, and fled, leaving many dead and wounded behind. Mem­ bers of the mob shouted: "Let's storm tho national palace, kill Barillas and re­ store a republican form of government " "Plundering the national treasury must cease." Barillas then ordered artillery into the plaza and infantry and two cannon to guard his residence. When the guns were turned on the mob the rioters lied, keeping up a desultory fire on the soldiers. They left the plaza, but fought in the side streets; in fact they practically during the night held full control of the city. It is thought this will cause a general revolt throughout the entire Republic of Guatemala, and engender war in all of the other Central American State* A strict censorship is maintained over all press dispatches, and the mails are also trifled with to prevent any information becoming known. A special from New­ ton, on the line- between Guatemala and Mexico, brings the information that Barillas is master of the situation, hav­ ing put down the revolt in the city of Guatemala after three days of hard light­ ing. The revolt was precipitated by Mon- tufar, a son of one of the candidates for the Presidency, who is a strong partisan of Barillas, in attempting to make a political speech on Independence Day. A mob throw him and his friends from the platform in the main plaza, r etting them with stones until they found shel­ ter in a neighboring house. The arrival of troops from adjoining districts event­ ually restored Barillas to power, and the whole city is now tilled with soldiers and martial law has been declared. A private dispatch says that fully 500 lives were sacrificed in the three days' fighting, and that President Barillas is still shooting down the participants in the revolt as if they were animals. The dispatch also conveys the information that Barillas has declared himself dic­ tator. A reign of terror prevails, the inhabitants being afraid to leave their houses. MAGIC CITY OF A DAY,. Five Thousand People Now Located On the Chandler Town Site. Another great Oklahoma rush is over and another city is born. Where at noon on the day of opening not a sign of human habitation existed, there is now a city of 5,000 people. Hundreds of white tents gleam among the trees, the sounds of the saw and hammer are heard, and people are buying and selling. At an early hour in the morning Governor Steele exhibited a p at of the town site of Chandler, and announced that the survey was completed, aud at 11:58 the bugle would give warning, and at 12 m a volley from the soldiers' mus­ kets in the center of the public square would be the signal to "go." The 5,000 people who had been waiting a week to get in on the town site were gleeful. By 10 o'clock horsemen and footmen stood three and five deep at all available points of the ea?t and west borders of the town site. Few people had noticed that the sky was overcast with black clouds, and all wore surprised when, with a crash of thunder, rain began to fall. For two hours, it poured a perfect deluge and the water rau in streams. Every one was drenched, yet not a per­ son moved from the line. Men in broad­ cloth, women in silk, cowboys, gam­ blers, preachers, boomers, all stood and took the rain. All were too eager for a home or a fortune to be moved by a mere drenching. The plot showed that Manual avenue, fronting on the public square and running a mile through the town and all on the smooth backbone of the town site, would be the main busi­ ness strdA. For it everybody was headed. " The thick woods did not hinder the horsemen, who, a-t tho signal was given, dashed at breakneck >peed for the best lot they cou d get .lumpin? from their horses they would ,1am a stake into the ground and yell, "This is my lot," while horses ran ioo.se pell mell everywhere. The footmen, * however. In many In­ stances got the best lots, as the horses could not bo stopped under fifty feet. Many men were knocked from their horses by tree limbs, while many horses and men fell fiat in the rush, yet there was but one serio ;s accident. Miss Nannette Daisy Eu and, of Sueve-berg, was on a fast horse and ascending a rocky cliff, the horse fell and threw her against a bowlder. Her forehead got an awful blow and her left leg was fractur­ ed. She was unconscious for three hours. Immediately upon regaining consciousness she declared: "The lot where I fell is all mine." Selling fast, at once the scramble began. Many lots had from two to three claimants, each contending that he was there lirst. One contestant would buy out another, while those who "got left" at once wanted to buy. One corner lot sold for §600 and a good many went at from $25 to S40X By 3 o'clock tents wero up everywhere, and the "business houses," which had been down on the school section, planted on the town site as rapidiy as possible. By supper time the city of tents was in good order and the f«p>4ir tion laid for a splendid town. . ; v Missing Links. IT is not consideied an offenss for a switchman to flag at his w rk. PBOF.

When opinions are again challenged* as they were in Dr. Briggs' case, the>« fact is revealed that scores of the lead­ ing tea hers in the church have bee a thinking for years in ways forbidden by the church's law, if the law be rigidly construed. It has teeq made plain by this controversy and by that over "re- vi-ion" that a very large proportion of Presbyterians are not Presbyterians at» all if their soundness be measured by the test of exact conformity to heilet-- New York World. The issue is scuarely joined. Th» position of the seminary is unmistakable, and it now remains to be „geen what the- Presbyterians will do in the premises. They are challenged to battle, and they must fight or allow Dr. Briggs to be their leader. The .controversy will bo long continued, for he will have his ap­ peal to the synod and the general as­ sembly, and he has back of him tho richest of the Presbyterian seminaries and many ol the most powerful of tho clergy. It seems probable that the re­ sult will be a split in the Presbyterian ranks, if it does not lead to actual and complete disintegration. --New York Sun. A minister who does not bel'eve tho doctrines of the church w.th which ho is connected ought not to remain in it, and he ought not to be perm tted to do so. He is not sincere, and not being sin­ cere, he can do those he undertakes to teach no good. He .s forced either to re­ press his convictions and teach what ho does not believe, or cause trouble in the church by condemning the doctrines of church. Having so emnly asserted that he believes the doctrines of the church, he is expected to teach them, and if at any time he fee's that he bas made a mistake, he ought to say so frankly, and ally himself with a church in which his views are acceptable.--Savannah News. The movement in the Presbyterian Church is of vast interest to the world in general, being as it is one of the most important bodies of the Protestant com­ munion. It is, there.ore, certa'nly to be deplored that a question primarily a mattevof scho arship. of historical and critical research, should, by the over- zealous acts of individuals, assume tho aspect of a bull-baiting spectacle, with Dr. Briggs as tho bull and the lower criticism advo ates--such as the New York Mail and Express and some few presbyteries--as the bandilleros,picadors and chulos, who o ily irr tate the ani­ mals, while Pi inceto I Seminary and New Yoric Presbytery, as the rival matadors, stand ready for a conflict to the death.--Philadelphia Press.
