Tte Secretary of State at Washington has received a report from tJnited States Consul Lynn in regard to the case of Fran­ cisco Rasures. the naturalized American citizen who was surrendered to the police authorities at Piedras Negras, Mexico, as a horse-thief, and summarily executed by them. The Secretary has directed a thor­ ough investigation to be made of all the facts in the case... .In the Cutting affair, Mexican lawyers appear to be of the opinion that the decision had been arrived at before the trial began. They think he will be sentenced to two years' imprisonment. Cutting is an American citizen who, up to the time of his arrest, published a paper called El Centinela in the Spanish lan­ guage at Paso del Norte, Mexico. In that paper he made an attack upon a Mexican named Emiglio Medina, who was about to establish a rival sheet in the same town. Medina had him arrested and taken before a Mexican court, where he was forced to re­ tract the slander or libel, or whatever it was, and then set at liberty. It seems that almost immediately he recrossed the Rio Grande, going to El Paso in Texas, and there had printed in the Herald of that town, a paper published in English and Spanish, the following card: In a late issue of El Centinela, published in Pa60 del Norte, Mex., I made tbe assertion that Emiglio Medina was a fraud, and that the Span­ ish newspaper he proposed to issue in Paso del Norte was a scheme to swindle advertisers, etc. This morning said Medina took the matter to a Mexican court, where I was forced to sign a rec­ onciliation. Now, 1 do hereby reiterate my original assertion that said Emiglio Medina is a fraud, and odd deadbeat to tlie same ; also, that his taking advantage of the Mexican law and forcing me to a reconciliation was contemptible and cowardly, and in koeping with the odious reputation of said Emiglio Medina. Should the Baid Emiglio Medina desire American satisfac­ tion for this reiteration, I will be pleased to grant him all he may desire at any time and in any manner. A. K. CUTTING. On his return to Paso del Norte he was rearrested for libel and contempt of court and thrown into the vile Mexican jail, where he now is.

THE semi-annual statistical statement of the American Iron and Steel Association has received from the manufacturers com­ plete statistics of the production of pig iron in the United States for the first'six months of the present year. The produc­ tion amounted to 2,954,209 tons. The country has never before produced as much pig iron in the same time. The greatest absolute gain in production was made by Pennsylvania, but the greatest relative gain was made by Ohio and Alabama, each of whom greatly increased its production. New York, New Jersey, West Virginia, Tennessee, Illinois, Michigan, and Wis­ consin also show an increase, as do also Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, Indiana, and California. GENERAL.

Telegrams to Brad- atreet'H point to the distribution of a smaller volume of general merchandise than in any previous week during the year. This ap­ pears to be regarded as a natural out­ come at this season, and representative traders at leading cities continue to express confidence in an active and profitable trade in the autumn. The Julv cotton report to Bradatrvet'* shows that the late heavy rains in the Atlantic States, Alabama and Mis­ sissippi, have left the plant in a condition well toward bad, as against good at a like period last year. The crop is equal to last year's in other States, except in Louisiana, where it is fair only. THE Morrison surplus resolution was amend­ ed and passed by the Senate on the 30th ult. It provides for a treasury reserve of $100,000,000 and a working balance of 520,000,000. When­ ever the surplus is 810,000,0)0 above those figures, the Secretary is to call that amount of bonds. Trade dollars are for six months to bo receivable for all dues to the Government or exchangeable at par for silver dollars or subsidiary coin. The Senate confirmed the nomination of Gtorge A.

[Savannah '(Ga.) special.] Inffettnall County, Georgia, la«t negro named Samuel Frick left his daugh­ ter, aged 4 years, with a negress named Mary Hollenbeck to board during his ab­ sence at his employment at a turpentine still in a neighboring county. Yesterd ty Frick returned, and upon demanding his child was met with so many evasive and contradictory replies as to arouse a suspi­ cion that something was wrong. A search of the premises resulted in the finding of half the child's body hidden in a barrel which had originally contained salt pork. The pickle had not sufficed to prevent de­ composition, and the negro was attracted to ' the barrel bv the unnatural stench arising from it. By this time other negroes in the neighborhood had joined in the search, and when the discovery was made there were fifteen or twenty blacks about the premises. The irate father was on the point of braining the woman with an ax, when she fell on her knees and said she would confess everything if he would spare her life. It was decided to hear her story, •' but, as the sequence proved, she would have fared better had she maintained her silence. Two days after the child was placed in her care a negro picnic was given m the vicinity, and she was called on to Erepare the dinner. Having no meat, and nowing that she would get no money un­ less she served some, she determined to kill the child and cook its flesh. Being somewhat under the influence of liquor, the fiendishness of the idea had no horrors for her, and she deliberately brained the child with an ax, dismembered it, find boiled the meat down into a stew with a hetero­ geneous collection of vegetables. When it was served the negroes remarked upon the peculiarity of its flavor, but nevertheless ate heartily. Several now al­ lege thfit they were nauseated by the mess, but none of them were made seriously ill. At the.conclusion of the narrative the fury of the hearers was ungovernable, and it was quickly decided to burn her alive at the stake. She was taken into a field and chained to a post fixed in the ground in tbe middle or a pile of inflammable pine, saturated with kerosene. When the match was applied the flames leaped high in the air, and the woman was soon ablaze. In fifteen minutes she fell among the blazing knots and was burned to a crisp. Nothing remained" after the fire died out but a few St, Louis Still the Lead.-- lotes And Gossip of the Game. charred bones and a ring which she had f-been made to arrest any of those implicated on one of her fingers ring wl .

F.) dispatch. 1 The schooner Nancy Barrett, which has just arrived here, brings the latest reports from the Labrador coast. She came around by way of the Gulf from the Straits of Belle Isle, as the ice outside made naviga­ tion dangerous. For nearly two weeks she -was blockaded in York harb ir by tie Id ice. Her captain brought with him five families who had made their way to that point from Sandwich Bay, more than one hundred miles overland. They came on sledges drawn by ponies, the last of their live stock, end these they were forced to Hubsist on at'ter arriving at the harbor. They burned their sledges for fuel. York harbor is covered with fugitives coist who, know nothing radar was buiie July ID nnd all c The joptlhUio region north of at between 1'».(>( has cemented t all the trails. The relief vessels sent direct to York Bay to relieve those who reached that point first. A dispatch from White Bay says that whalers report Hudson Bay Strait has either been frozen over again or has become choked with floating ice and is solid. About a thousand arctic bears, driven south by starvation, have crossed over from Penny- land. and are devastating the country. What little is left of the stores at Cape Mugford has been .seized by these voracious animals. The Indians in that locality are eating their dead companions, and the white settlers are burying their dead secret­ ly to keep the Esquimaux from getting thean. AN ATTEMPT TO KILL A PRINCE. A Iflmb Found on a Steamer DcNring Doui Anguito Leopoldo, [New York dispatch. ] An almost successful attempt was made to blow up the steamer Sylvan Stream, which had on board Dom Augusto Leo­ poldo, Prince of Brazil, the commandant and officers of the Brazilian warship Bar- rosa, Consul General Mendonca, and other attaches of the Brazilian lega­ tion. The party had been the guests of the Sea Beach Railroad Com­ pany at Coney Island, and in the evening took the boat at Bay ltidge to return to the city. In the morning the officials of the rail­ road had received a bloodthirsty anarchist letter warning them to give up the, fete or take the consequences. But little at­ tention was paid to the letter. Just as the boat started an employe found in the cabin a bottle about Bix inches long filled with an explosive to which a burning fuse was attached. He seized it, and carrying it out of the cabin cast it into the water. A hole was burned in the carpet of the cabin at the spot where the oomb was found, and near the spot were charred bits of wood, which seemed like tbe heads of burned matches. Prince Leopoldo, when informed of the peril in which his life had been placed, remarked simjrty, "The IChic&go correspondenee.1 j of last week has made no ma­ terial change in the positions of the League clubs, Detroit still maintaining the lead by two games over Chicago, the latter seven games ahead of New York, with Philadel­ phia, Boston, St. Louis, Kansas City, and Washington in the order named. The sea­ son is half over, and it seems to be defi­ nitely settled that the contest for the League championship lies between Detroit and Chicago. The New York club claim that they have a show for the pennant, but the chances are that if they play the best kind of ball they may make a fairly close finish with the leaders, and if they don't they will not be as close up when the end is reached as they are now. They are great ball players, but Detroit and Chicago are greater. Many of the friends of Phil­ adelphia claim that club has a chance for the pennant, but we consider it a falling down one at the best, although it would not surprise us to see them take third place. Look out for them next year. The air is still filled with rumors that Von der Abe has bought the franchise of the St. Louis League Club, and will put his American Association champions in the place of the Maroons next season. It is difficult, at this time, to predict what may happen next year, but we doubt the making of any great change iu the material of the League. In the American Association St. Louis is in the lead, Brooklyn following, nine games behind. The pennant, barring some great accident, will go to Von der Ahe's aggrega­ tion of talent, but who will occupy second place is not so easily foretold, Brooklyn having won 40, Cincinnati and Louisville 3i) each, and.Pittsburgh 38 games. What exciting times a race like that for the pen- mint would make. The following tables show the relative positions of the clubs: NATIONAL LEAGUE. Games Gaines Post- LAW-MAKERS.

An Engineer's Heroism Costs Him His Life but Saves Those of Passengfers and Train Crew. [Valparaiso (Ind.) special.] The limited express on the Fort Wayne Bailroad met with an accident this morn­ ing which, but for the heroism of Martin Burke, the engineer, would certainly have resulted in a dreadful loss of life. The limited usually suns through here at a high rate of speed. This morning a mis­ placed switch let it onto a side-track occu­ pied by loaded coal-cars. The engineer immediately pulled the reverse lever and turned on brakes. The latter not working, he told his fireman to jump for life, and then made a second attempt to control the train. He partly succeeded, but lost his life by the act. The engine struck a coal- car. smashing it into splinters, and sent the tender with a crash through the baggage- car. The engineer was struck in the crash, thrown from the cab, and when picked up was a corpse, his skull being cut open. Not a passenger was hurt. THE PRESIDENT'S VACATION. Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland, Accompanied by Mrs. Folaom, to Spend from Four to Six Weeks In the Adirondack*. (WitsMngton. (I). C.) special.| , |t ie stated at the White House that Col. ' Enfciout has gone to his, home in Cortland County, New York, for a few days, but it is believed that during his absence he will make all arrangements for the summer va­ cation of the President and Mrs. Cleveland in the Adirondacks. No information on the subject can be obtained at the White House, but it is understood that the President and Mrs. Cleveland will reach Albany about the middle of August, and will be accom­ panied on their trip to the Adirondacks by Mrs. Folsom and several intimate Iriends. It is said that they will go to the woods from Pluttsburg, and that the trip will cover from, four to six weeks. The Pres­ ident's \\ estern trip is still very uncertain. He »ajr get as far West as Chicago about the season of county fairs, but no plans will be made till after his r?gular vacation. DOESN'T LIKE THE DIMINUTIVE; Mrs. Cleveland Likes.to Be Kemembered, but Objects to a Child Being Christened " Fraukiit" iu Her Honor. ( . [Cincinnati (Ohio) telegram.Jf On June 2!) a daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Winter, of Newport, Ky. It was named Frankie Cleveland Winter, and a letter informing Mrs. Cleveland of the fact brought the following reply: "EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, D. C "DEAK MRS. WIN TEN: Many thanks for the kind way in which you remembered me in your little girl's name. May she be blessed through life as I have be?n. Bnt will you do me the favor not to call her Frankie, but Francos' or Frank. I am never called Frankie, and I dislike the name very much. With my congratulations and best wishes, I am most sincerely yours, "FRANCES CLEVELAND." Kansas City ;; 7 , The Southern League, or at least one or more of its members, is charged with "fat­ tening" the record of players when desir­ ous of disposiug of them to some Northern club. This is equivalent to "salting" a mine before inspection. Tonv Kouke, late of the Augusta Club of the Southern League, hns been signed as change catcher by Chicago. He Is origi­ nally from Chicago, flayed two years ago with the Chicago Unions, and is a good, re- Jjable flayer. •" '""PI » V"^5 ,W ,UPU1 TO IM. will be reRdy to c s" when the Wi grounds. -• conclusion annot support d an American e,- one or me other must quit. shall it be? •Any club wishing to celebrate with tin roosters, new brooms, duck calls, kazoos, etc., can buy a job lot of such articles cheap from the Detroit management. Before the season of 188G is over, left- hauded pitchers will have lost their terror for many of the boys. Clarksou, of the Chicagos, seems to have got his second wind, commencing with the Detroit series in Chicago, and is pitching better ball than ever. His great fault seems to be in getting a little careless when the club has obtained an apparently safe lead. John F. Driseoll, formerly a well-known pitcher, connected with the Athletic, Louisville, Pittsburgh, and other clubs, died of consumption at his home in Lowell, Mass., July 18. Since Larry Corcoran joined the Wash- ingtons, his arm is reported to have again given out, so that he is useless as a pitcher. Larry is a valuable man in a nine, how­ ever, as he is a good fielder, either out or iu, and a fair batter. The question is now: Will Von der Ahe swallow Lucas, or will Lucas swallow Von der Ahe? The defeat of Detroit by Kansas City, July 21, was a surprise party all round. The game was tied at two runs each, until the eleventh innings, wh'en the "cowboys" got on to Getzein, and "punched" out ten runs, seven of them earned. It is hoped that another year will see the umpire question in some different shape. The clubs must be made to respect the opinions of the umpire, at least in public. If ' kicking" during the game is allowed to the players, the spectators will also take a hand, aud such disgraceful scenes as re­ cently occurred in Cincinnati will become the rule and not the exception. When this stage is reached, good-by national game, because ladies and gentlemen will no longer tolerate a pastime which caters to the hoodlum element. Sunday playing and beer-selling, which is permitted on the Cincinnati grounds, may have had some­ thing to do with their recent riot there. The league clubs show great wisdom in not playing Sunday games nor permitting beer to be sold on their grounds. It is rer-orted of Mike Scanlon, manager of the Washingtons, that when in St. Louis recently, one of his players got bis back up and "sassed" him, whereupon Mike took the offender into an anteroom, and chas­ tised him, paternal fashion, until he yelled "muider, police," etc. ' > v 1 '• DIAMOND DCS*. . Ol>D Joe Start has not been released by Washington, as reported. O'KOUBKE, of the New Yorks, now leads the League in run-getting. DESPITE its poor work, the Boston club is said to be far ahead of the season financially. DETROIT is now probably aware that the .Chicagos are the greatest nerve players in the profession. NEW-YORKERS are confident that theit team will be a good second when the club starts on its next Western trip. ANSON, of Chicago, and O'Rourke and Connor, of the New Yorks, are running a great race for the lead in batting. ED WILLIAMSON, short-stop of the Chi­ cagos, took a turn in the pitcher's box at Kansas City during one of tbe Chicago series in that city, and the cowboys failed to hit him. IN six innings during a recent game with St. Louis the champions batted Murphy for thirteen singles, two doubles, three triples, and three home runs, twenty runs coming in as a result. LAKRY CORCORAN, the once famous pitcher of the Chicagos, has become a great favorite with the Washington public, and has proved himself a valuable man to the Washington club.

"Ce- lestine," he said one night, when the young man was announced, "isn't it about time some definite conclusion was being arrived at in this matter?" "Quite time, papa," she replied in a matter-of-fact way. "Well, daughter, is there any prospect of a conclusion ?" "I can't say, really, papa.
