At Sedalia the Missouri Pacific shops shut down. The shops of the Central Branch Railroad at Atchiscn, Kan., which is controlled by the Missouri Pacific in that city, have been closed indefinitely. Several regular freights have also bee.n discontinued. , At Van Buren, Ark., the Missouri Pacific Road shops aqd roundhouse are at a standstill. v Noth­ ing but passengers and perishable freights are moving, owing to the scarcity of coal, caused by a thousand men striking Sunday at Cdal Hill, Huntington and Jerjtfy liind There are but twenty-five cars of coal accessi­ ble and that is to be used for passenger trains and emergences only. At Lin­ coln, 111., the roller-mills hstfve closed down and the electric streetcars were} obliged to stop running. The Illinois Central has begun to draw on its 1,500 tons of coal at Sioux Falls, S. D. At West Superior, Wis., the price of soft coal has risen frtm $2.75, at the open­ ing of navigation, to $3.50. THE Chicago Health Department re­ ceived notice Monday that there was smallpox at 1072 Trov street. Dr. Beegle, with thres health officers, was detailed to investigate. Dr. Chloupek went along to act as interpreter. The district is populated almost entirely'by Bohemians. The health officers found women armed with clubs, men with pok­ ers and crowbars, and boys with rocks clustered in front of No. 1072. A hail Of bricks, clubs, and stones came when they drove up, and Dr. Peegle, seeing they were in fbr a fight, ran for a patrol box. Apparently the wagon was ready, for it came in a hurry. So did those from Hinman street and Lawn- dale. When Dr. Beegle got back the fight was on. The four men remaining hacLbeen surrounded bv the mob. Some oneriiad fired two shot-< at the men and they were fighting for their lives. O'Connor had been knocked down and his grun wiested from him, Schlessler wa=? bleeding, and half the crowd were kicking Campbell, who finally escaped and ran to the pesthouse, where he took refuge. When the patrol wagons arrived all the officers did was to hus­ tle the health officers into their hack. They asked for protection while they went into the house to get the patient, but they were re­ fused. So there' is still a repotted case of smallpox at No. 1072 Troy street. The doctors say one of their assailants, John Vanecek, had a case of smallpox in hi* house for three weeks. When Drs. Chloupek and Campbell went there they say they were driven out with shotguns. Jus­ tice La Buy, they claim, refused them warrants and Justice Dooley, who granted them, dismissed the case when he found it had to do with small­ pox.

IN the United States Circuit Court of Appeals at New Orleans a decision was rendered which finally settles the suits of the relatives of the Italians killed in the parish prison March 14. 1891. The suit was for damages for the act of the lynchers. Judge Dan A. Pardee read the decision oi the coui t, which was that in the absence of a statute giving right of action to sue for damage to lile by mobs the suit was to be dismissed, and the city freed from its liability for damages. The sole statute on this subject reads: "The different municipal <M pporations in this State Bhall 'be liable for the damage done to property by mobs or other assemblages in their respective limits." This law, the court held, lim­ ited the liability of municipalities to damage to property and grave ho ac­ tion for damage to life. The case de>- cided was that of the Widow Givanni Abbagnate against the city' of Now Orleans, and the decision will govern in five similar cases, in all of which juries returned verdicts of $5,000 datn- againgt the city. ,8$ WASHlNGTdN. add to 11.

THE marriage of Princess Josephine of Belgium to Prince Hohenzollern- Sigmaringen took place in Brussels. The civil wedding occurred at 10 a. m., and the religious ceremony was cele­ brated soon afterward in the private chapel of the royal palace. The wed­ ding was a distinctly private affair and therefore all the ceremonies were per­ formed within the walls of the palace. CALCUTTA advices say that in ad­ dition to the loss of 200 lives by the. bursting of a dam forfhed by a land­ slip in Charkkupria, Kulu., and the destruction of livestock and dwellings, which accompanied it. disastrous floods nave wrought much damage in North Cachar. The Jetinga has over­ flowed its banks and has in­ undated an area of hundreds of miles. The result has been tre­ mendous loss of property, and in addi­ tion the loss of life is believed to be enormous. Whole villages have been destroyed in a number of sections of the flood-visited country. The flood IS pronounced to be the most severe in many years. A dispatch to the Lon­ don Times from Calcutta, describing the bursting of the dam at Chark­ kupria, says that the water swept on­ ward like a forty-foot wall, sweeping away several villages, among them one having eighty nouses.

Moruis and floods, prolonged strikes, and large exports of gold have done their utmost to give bwsinesi a vacation. But wants unsatisfied during the last year, be­ lated and mach lessened, and yet greater than those of any other nation, havo caused a volume of trade quite large for the season. Prices of products still tend downward without much speculation. Failures diminish in importance, the amount of liabilities for the past week be­ ing only 12,304,139, and for three weeks, $7.83R. 072. of which $2 642,687 were of man­ ufacturing and $5,t)25,007 of trading con­ cerns. The number of failures reported is 183 in the United States, against 259 the same week last year, and* in Canada 28. against 14 last year, and again there are noted scarcely any ot importance THE elevator combine has at last been brought to time, at Buffalo, by the floating elevators, which this spring entered into competition with the I egular elevators for the trade of transferring grain from lake vessels to Erie Canal boats or to regular cars. Whether the business has been good or bad, whether the farmers were raising grain at low,., cost or not, or whether boats were carrying grain to Buffalo at less.than the cost of transportation, this elevator pool has demanded its full tolls of seven- eighths of a cent on every bushel han­ dled. In good times and bad it has paid dividends as high as 30 per cent, a year. To-day the combine, in order to drive out the floating elevators, is transferring grain as low as one-eighth of a cant a bushel, and it is even claimed that some cargoes have been handled for nothing. It is possible to ship corn from Chicago to New York at 4^ cents a bushel, the lowest through rate ft r many years, on account of the war. What the outcome of the strug­ gle will be no one can now fore­ tell Some predict that the combine, which has withstood numberless at­ tacks, will go to p'ecas and that the elevaters controlled by the trunk lines will go by themselves, leaving the other elevators to fight it out for them­ selves. Others predict that the pool will put in enough money to buy out all the floating elevators and its grip on the grain trade will be resumed. The Erie Canal boatmen are feeling extremely comfortable over the war­ fare, as they are the gainers whichever side comes out ahead. The trunk lines are the big losers in the struggle, for they are unable to get grain, while the canal boats are being ail filled, KJ? j- MARKET REPOAT8.: CHICAGO.

News of th«» Strikew There in nothing in sight, aooording to a Springfield dispatch, to warrant the belief that the strike of the Illinois coal miners will be settled this week or the next either. A conference of coal operators of Central and Southern Illinois on the one hand and represen­ tatives of the State and National Mine- Workers' Union was held at Spring­ field, but nothing looking toward a com­ promise or adjustment of the difficulty has been accomplished. The parties are as far away from each other as ever. The representatives of the Miners' Association stubbornly refuse to specify their demands. A^meeting; of the coal operators of the entire State will be held, when, it possible, the operators will agree on what they will offer the miners. So the strike goes merrily on. It is hurting every class in the community now. It is working hardship on the poor, both miners and consumers. It is decreasing the revenue of corpora-, tions, factories, and everybody who use.-; soft coal It is a great detriment on some of the State institutions. The Kankakee asylum uses a groat deal of coal, and has only ten carloads in stock. This will last only a few days. Some weeks ago, by way of precaution, the Superintendent, Dr. Gapen, wrote President McBride, acquainting him with the wants of the institution, and McBride gave a written authority that forty carloads of coal might be mined for the Kankakee asylum. This permission was sent to a representa­ tive of the Miners' Union in the kan- kakee district, and Dr. Gapen thought he was goinar to get his coaL Unfortu­ nately, some district officer a little higher in authority than the man to whom McBride's communication, was sent was ignored, and the understrap­ per will not allow the work to proceed. Anarchy Bans Riot at La Salle. La Salle, I1L, special: This whole region is on the verge of riot and open rebellion. Loyal American citizens in some localities are at the mercy of a horde of low-browed, vicious Anarch­ ists. An armed force of militia holds things in check in one or two towns, but outside of these centers lawless Italians, Slavs, Poles, and other treach- eVous and ignorant foreigners hold sway and defy the authorities. .An Aiterican citizen who goes abroad after dark takes his life in his hands and if he dares express himself at any time in a manner that does not suit the Anarchists he is liable to be beaten to death. At Spring Valley the Mayor is in terror of his ,life. The city prison has l een sacked by the mob. The local police do not dare to arrest an Italian, a Pole, a Hun, or an Anarchist of any nationality, no matter what offense against the laws he may com­ mit. Practically the same state of affairs exists at Wenona. It is a little less violent at Peru, and were it not for the presence of Col. Eennitt and his soldiers in this city it would be worse here. Time and again during the last two or three weeks the Stars and Stripes has been dragged in the gutters of Spring Vally, while the red Hag of anarchy and lawlessness has been flaunted in the faces of the prop erty-owners and citizens by a mob of men who cannot speak the English language and who have no legal voice in the conduct of public affairs. Ballets Fly Thick at Mlnonk. Minonk, 111., special: A striker threw a switch here directly in front of an Illinois Central freight train. In an instant weapons we.e directed at him. Bullets from revolvers and rifles flew about the daring striker's head, while buckshot and other kinds of pel­ lets discharged from shotguns spread all around him. Why he was not hit is one of the mysteries. He was, how­ ever, quickly arretted, and is now in jail. He is Henry Myers, and he had a good position as cableman in the Ames shaft here. He was trying to keep the Illinois Central from moving a train of coal. With him were 200 des­ perate Poles, but the railroad cari ied its point, thanks to the presence of Colonel Culver and three companies of the L N. G. Disposition of the Military- Springfield, 111., special: Gov. Alt- geld received a message from Wenona, Marshall County, saying the strikers there are preventing trains from mov­ ing and asking for arms and ammuni­ tion and that troops ke held in readi­ ness. Fifty rifles with ammunition were sent and Col. Culver was tele­ graphed t3 proceed to Wenona and in­ vestigate. Gov. Altge'd ordered the two remaining c mpanies of troops at Pana to return home, The Governor also ordered home the troops stationed at Centralia and two companies of those sent to Minonk, leaving one company at the latter place. The trcops at La Salle have been ordered to remain there until further orders. ($12 no crowd ol antanet on any <*.( i1."* WAR OFKX1ERM1 NATION DICUBKD.

Philadelphia, Pa., special: "We will start up our mines at 40 cents par ton if a deputy has to guard every miner with a rifle." was the answer of the soft coal operators at their meeting in this city to consider Gov.

The opera­ tors represent the Clearfield, Peech Creek, and Broad Top re­ gions on the eastern slope of ti e Alleghenies, extending from the Maryland to the New York lines. A few years ago the operators "black- legged" the district and reduced the wages of the men to 40 cents a ton. The miners now ask 50 cents,as against the 70 cents asked for by the men west Of the Ohio River. The miners paraded the stieets of Osceola and Phillips- burg. flaunted banners, declaring they Would not go to work, and dared the Uperatoiv* to import outside labor.

Michigan •atlxpr MOaped toes !u her wheat, the cron fco*aver, ife many ewe* bavin* received serious set­ backs. Kentucky wheat suffered exten­ sively, ia soma counties the loss being set at 25 percent. This result wu largely oc- cailoued by the snow leating down the grain. Fortunately the damage 1 limited in area, and will not greatly affect the general condition of the State, In Missouri there has been •ome damage by frosts, and dry weather Chinch bugs continue to get fh their work. The crop is now rapidly Improving. Army worms are reported working in'some of the fields, but uo esti­ mate can now be made of the damage they are doing. Few reports from Kansas indi­ cate any great loss from the last heavy frost, Chinch bugs and drouth are prov­ ing more serious enemies. The latter has been holding back the crop for some time, and now that it Is beginning to head out the plant Is not full grown, and the yield must of necessity be light Rain is badly needed, but is even now too late to give full development to the crop Ford County ceports 80 percent of the winter wheat crop killed by.drouth and worms. High winds also have been an important fatftor in keep­ ing back the crop. Nebraska wheat is In very bad shape. In sume counties it has been so dry that there is no longer any hope f or apartlai crop. Large areas have been plowed up. and large iield« that are left are heading out so low that the grain will be of small consequenceb The frost of last week did some damage, but In a num­ ber of the counties the crop was too far gone for anything to hurt it. Here and there is found a good field of wheat and a few counties will have good crops, but for the State as a whole the crop will be a very light one. What little winter wheat is grown in Iowa did riot sustain any great injury from frost The thermometer sev­ eral times went down to 32 dejrees, but the winds prevented serious freezing In Wisconsin wheat is generally good, and little injury resulted to It from the recent cold. " _ Spring Wheat--Spring wheat la Wiscon­ sin is in generally fair condition. In Iowa it will be nearly an average cropi Iu Min­ nesota.the crop was not extensively hurt by frost, though It was washed out a little on rolling land. The general condition In the State ,is good. In Dakota the crop is in fair condition, except where injured by the high winds. Some complaints of drouth are made. Rain is needed to carry the crop forward at Its present rate of improve­ ment Oats.--In Illinois the general condition of oats is fair. The cold damaged the crop In April to such an extent in some counties that the crop had to be rcsown. Soino of the earliest sown fields were also damaged by the March freeze, and where notresown are very thin on the ground. Only slight damage was done by the recent cold storm. Conditions iu Indiana are very similar to those In Illinois. A good deal was killed by the cold in March, and many fields have not been resown. Very little damage was done by the recent storm. The general outlook in the State is for a fair crop. In some counties in Ohio the first sowing was all killed by freezing. Many of the re- sown fields have not done well. Some dam­ age by cut worms Is also reported. The recent storm did not materially hurt the crop. Some counties report the stand very good, and the aggregate crop of the State will be large. Though the crop is backward in Michigan, on account of the cold, the crop promises to be a good one. Few counties in Kentucky report a favor­ able outlook for oat*. In a number of counties the crop is almost a failure from drouth and the cold in March. Where fields were sown after the cold spell the condition is better. The average condition tor the State is low, and the crop will be light Missouri reports that in many coun­ ties the crop will be light having been cut short by dry weather. It has also been held back in its development by the cold. The general outlook Is bad, and in some sections there will not be half a crop. In Kansas the outlook Is still worse, an entire failure being reported in some sections. Cold aud drouth have been the main factors in cutting down tfeQ gon- . ditlon. The crop in Nebraska will be very small. It Is rare to find a county where the stand is good. A few correspondents report prospects for a fair crop, but re­ ports of low condition are more common. Some counties report a total failure, while In others the outlook is for one-fourth or one-half crop. In Iowa some of the early Bown fields sprouted and froze out. Iowa conditions are at present favorable, and the crop for the State will be a fair one. Wisconsin reports conditions favorable for a large crop, and no severe set back to tho crop lias been sustained. In Minnesota tho outlook is good, and the crop will doubt­ less be larza In the Dakotas the outlook <s favorable at present, but moisture is needed in some counties Corn. --Whether or not the corn of Illi­ nois has been permanently damaged by the recent cold storm au open question stilL It was certainly set back by the frost in many counties, but hopes are ex­ pressed that the plant is merely retarded in Its growth, and that warm weather will repair the injury. The early sown was In­ jured the most, the lato sown, in many counties, not being above the grouud. In­ diana reports slight daniage by frost but at present the weather is too cool for the development of the crop. The acreage is large, and with a period of warm weather the development of the crop will be rapid, aa there Is a sufficiency of moisture. On account of the al­ most constant wet weather for some time past, much of the corn crop remains to be planted. Ohio reports damage by i^cold and cut worms. It is too cold and wet *lor development but the stand is very good and promises a large crop. In Michi­ gan the cold and wet have hindered plant­ ing and the crop conditions are doubtfuL The outlook in Kentucky is for a fair crop. The cold storm appears to have done con­ siderable dama'ge. but the loss may be re­ covered. Cut worms are working vigor­ ously in some ot the fields. Corn in Mis­ souri needs ratn and sunshina It is in very fair condition, but was checked in growth by the recent frosts. The dry weather is enabling the farmers to clear the ground. The outlook for Kansas is favorable, though the frosts have re­ tarded development In Nebraska the re­ ports vary from good to bad. Some sec­ tions report the best stand evnr known, while in semi-arid counties the lack of moisture makes the outlook gloomy. Corn in Iowa was put back by frost but is prob­ ably all right Cut worms nro working in some of the fields on sod lands. In Wis­ consin the crop had not progressed enough to suffer much loss from the cold. <§! The mouso broWhlJtaUu t hat the EIGHT PERISH IN THE FLOODS. Fraur Ktvert ia British Columbia, a Raging Torrent--Houses Submerged. * The Frazer River, in British Colum­ bia, has become a raging torrent and is dealing destruction and death at every point. The surrounding valleys have been submerged, houses and out­ buildings of ranchers have b«en swept away, and where a few days ago wav­ ing fields of growing grain met the eye is now a waste of water. Whole herds of cattle and flocks of shcep have been drowned and whole villager on the banks of the stream are floitr So far e'ght human lives are known to have been lost.

During the past three years "moon- shining" ha* inci eased greatly all over the country, The number of illicit stills captured in 1891 was 795, in 1892 852, and last year 806. Prior to that time the average of seizures was about 450 a year. The internal revenue agents have prepared an interesting table showing the localities in which illicit stills were discovered last year. In- detecting and destroying the stills 487 moonshiners wete arrested and three revenue officers were killed. The record of seizures from 1881 until and including 1893, covering a period of thirteen years, is 1,282 stills de­ stroyed. In-suppressing these illegal distilleries fourteen government offi­ cials have lost their lives and twentv- one others have been seriously wounded. " ' A Few Facts About the Cent. Until within the last few years cents were not recognized as currency in the West and South. Of late they have begun to be used all over the country, though their introduction has been gradual and their acceptance reluctant. Cents are as yet practically unknown in Nevada, Wyoming, and Arizona. New York employs the greatest num­ ber of pennies. Last year that State drew for currency 7,994,000 brand-new cents from the Treasury. Illinois came next with a demand for 5,573,000 coppers, partly on account of th« World's • Fair. Massachusetts was third, calling for 4,298,000 eents, and Pennsylvania fourth with 3,373,900 cents.
