There were in the room at the time David Dudley Field, Mrs. Dudley Field, Mrs. Isabella Judson, Cyrus Field Jud- son, Frank Judson and the attending physician. Mr. Field had been suffer­ ing from physical and mental exhaus­ tion brought on by the many troubles which have overtaken him during the past year. \ For some days his mind wandered occasionally, but his friends say that the stories sent out about his having lost his reason were maliciously baseless. The funeral services will be held on Thursday afternoon at the bouse. The interment will be at Stock- bridge, Mass., on Friday. Mr. Field died a comparatively poor man. WESTERN.

BY a series of explosions Saturday morning at the works of the Git ut Pow­ der Company and the San Francisco Chemical Works at Highland, twelve miles from San Francisco, property worth about $350,000 was destroy­ ed and an unknown number of persons were killed. There were over 100 persons, mostly Chinamen, employed at the powder mills. Nearly all of those Who escaped death were wounded, many of them so seriously that they will die. The bodies of three white men and two Chinamen have been recovered. Though twelve miles away, San Francisco and Oakland suffered great loss from shat­ tered plate glass windows. AT Peoria, 111., the pleasuro steamer Frankie Folsom was sunk in the river, Tuesday night, and of the sixty pas­ sengers aboard her twenty were drowned. At Lake View, a mile above the city, a representation of Pompeii was given. The Folsom, a Pekin boat, came up with forty passengers. Two or three couples joined the party at Peoria, and fifteen got on the boat at th^ park, so that the passenger list reached fully sixty. As the boat started down to the city she was struck by the cyclone and turned over. She was midway in the river and sank rapidly. Owing to the howling tempest fche cries of the passengers could f not be heard. The Longfellow, with seventy-five pas­ sengers, from Kingston, pass 3d her and ran to the foot of the next street. Her passengers were driven off and the boat made preparations to go to the aid of the Folsom, when her wheel broke and she was left helpless. Word was conveyed to the police station and Mayor Warner ordered every man to the scene. The Rock Island Road sent a special train to the scene of disaster and small boats were put off to the Folsom, the hulk of which could be seen when the lake was illuminated by the vivid lightning. Four persons were taken off at a time. It is known that there are eighteen drowned, of whom eleven are fiorn Pekin. At the time , of the storm over two hundred small boats were out, and at a late hour the occupants of but ninety-six hod reported. So it is pos­ sible the death list will reach 104.

WliMiiE (Idaho) dispatchr' The strainod situation in the Coeur D'Alene labor troubles culminateel early Monday morning in a pitched battle between ' the locked-out union miners and tho guards at the Gem and Frisco mines. There is grav^ reason to believe that between thirty , and forty men lost their lives. 1- or months there. has been a lockout of the miners in the C'ceur d'Alene section. Monday's fight resulted in the destruction of both the FriseH) and Gem silver mills adjoining Gem City. Dynamite was used, wreck­ ing the structures and machinery and entailing great loss. The mills de- streyed were constructed at a cost of $200,000. They were in possession of the United States Marshal and his dep­ uties. A. M. Esler, the Superintendent, was known to be coming with 150 rifles. A furious battle raged, the sounds of arms being incessant. Jfhe union strik­ ers won the first battle, causing the non-union guards to surrender both,the 'Frisco and Gem mines. They ape now in complete possession of the field, holdj? insr sixty disarmed guards under arrest at Union Hall. - _ / . „ THE strikers have possession of the telegra p'n and telephone offices at Ward­ ner and other Coeur d'Alene points and have blown up railroad t ridges. Tues­ day night a gang of armed strikers over­ took seventy unarmed non-union men at Old Mission, robbed them of their, wages and fired on them while running away. Many non-union men were kill­ ed. Others escaped to the wcods antl swamps. Seven caught the steamer and arrived in Spokane. A relief partv is going after the others. Wednesday morning twelve bodies were picked up in tho canyon. They were riddled with bullets. A ijumber of non-unionists were wound«i, but they were carried away by their comrades. Two hundred more non-union men were sent out-of Wardner on board the cars guarded by members of the Miners' Union. The troops arrived at the scene of the dis­ turbance in Coeur d'Alene Wednesday mom ng. No collision has occurred a,s .yet, but the situation is critical. The Governor has issued a proclamation de­ claring the affected district under mar­ tial law. •»- FOREIGN. WASHINGTON.

THREE persons, names unknown, were tcilled by lightning during a hail­ storm in Lac qui Parle County, Minne­ sota, and Paul Hunzicker was killed in the same manner near Cottonwood. THE free-silver men in Congress held a consultation on the Stewart bill Monday night, anel decided that an amendment should be proposed in the House to provide for saving the legal- tender character of the certificates issued under the Sherman act.

The population of Giarre is about 18,0 >0. It is here that many must have perished. The ' whole country suffered severely from the shock. IN Iheir comment on Mr. Gladstone's narrow escape from defeat both Tory and Liberal newspapers treat of the matter as the most important eo far in tho enmpaign. Tho truth seems to be that the falling off in the Liboral lead­ er's majority was caused by the church war ugainst hint rather than by the home rule question. A J>I8I>ATCH received at Paris, from Switzerland says that Miss Lottie Col­ lins, the famous muslc-halPsinger who created a sensation by the "Ta-ra-ra, Boom-de-ay" song, died Monday. Miss Collins has lately been playing from three,to four engagements anight and was seriously Indisposed when she left London on account of overwork. The report of her death is not confirmed. IN GENERAL. LATER advices say the report that William Waldorf Astor died in London was untrue. Mr. Astor is alive and on 1he road to recovery. THE delay in the appointing of a French Behring Sea arbitrator is due to, Foreign Minister Ribot's objecting to English as the official language of the conferenco. M. Ribot maintains that cFreneh is the official language on such occasions. A compromise has now been arranged. The protocols will be kept in English and French, while French may be the official language of the con­ ference, but the decision of the confer­ ence will be given in English. ALL the great salt factories of the Province of Ontario perfected a syndi­ cate last December to limit the supply and fix the prices. Things went on harmoniously until the Ontario Salt Manufacturing Company of Kincardine gave the combination notice of with­ drawal from the agreement. The com­ bination , has obtained an interim in­ junction restraining the company from going out. The defense will be that the trust is clearly illegal under the anti-trust act, that its object is to limit the production anel sale, fix prices and prevent competition. The attempt of the Ontario Government to smash the binder-twine monopoly has taken defin­ ite shape'. A (factory for making the jfcwlne is to be pet up in the Central Prison, the prisoners to furnish the labor required. The farmers will soon be able to purchase twine at first cost.

It was born in humble sur­ roundings, amidst "the common people," as the result of the quickening oi the spiritual life of a Congregational Church iu Portland, Me. It was born of neces­ sity. The whole theory of the societj is that the Christian must be trainee into Christian manhood. It is the idei for which the industrial tra'nln( school stands, which teachcs apprentice* how to work by working, how' to use tools by using them, how tp exercise hand, att^ foot, and eye, and brain in order that these members may become in the highest degree efficient and ser­ viceable in life's vocation. It was Febl 2, 1881, that the Rev. Francis E. Clark, the young pastor o. Williston Church, Portland, Me., called his young people together and presented to them the con­ stitution of a society which it was pro­ posed to organize and which he de­ cided to name the Young People's So­ ciety of Christian Endeavor, and front that the society has grown to its present proportions. The equipment of the organization is simple. There are three special com­ mittees, lookout, prayer meeting, and social, and the bulk of the society'f work is accomplished • through thes< channels. As the founder of th< society had no idea of its great exten­ sive power in its striking adaptability, no special effort was made fount! branches. Gradually, however, th« fame of the new organization spread through the community and througl New England. Before the close of 188] a second society was estaolished ai Newburvport, Mass., and a little later t third in another church in Portland The r^maikable growth of the organ­ ization NJs illustrated by this officia' table of membership of the united so- c e ies: Members 8 u: 2.87t K/.KX "lO.itft 60,0W 140,001 310,001 485,001 - 6fiO,OC< l,coa,9« 1,100,001 WAR ir THE WEST.

A Boise City (Idaho)" dlspatctf says: GOT. Willey has issued a proclamation plaolng Shoshono County Under martial law. Word has been received that three companies of Federal troops from Missoula have arrived at Muilan. The other troops have not been heard from. Adjt. Gen. Curtis, who is in command for the State and who went to CaeUr d' Alene in advance of the outbreak, has not been heard from and it is feared that he has fallen into the hands of the Strikers. A dispatch to the Governor from Judge Heyburn at Spokane says that union men drgve 132 non-union miners out, firing ono them and killing two. At Portland, Ore., the Union Pacific Company has received word from Coeur d'Alene that the Northern Pacific rail­ road bridge, together with several hun-^ dred feet of track, was blown up by» a?rikers west ©f Muilan. The company is preparing to take all non-union men out of the mines to Tekoa. The union «t«a assert that the moment troops ap- Mar on the scene they will blow un. Bunker Hill, Sullivan, Sierra Nevada and Gem mines. The burning of the bride a near Muilan will ho'.d troops there, unless they march on foot to Wal­ lace and Wardner, a distance of about ten miles. It Is now reported that the union men have taken Van B. Dela- shnutt of Portland, William Sweeny and other mine owners and will hold them as hostages until the trouble is settled. It is reported that the tele­ graph wives to Wardner have been cut. Superintendent Dickinson of the rth^rn Pacific telegraphed the Gov- 'eifnor from Tacoma that their tracks and bridges have been destroyed in the vi­ cinity of Muilan and Wallace, and that ?Vires have been cut. They will hold '/ ijhe county responsible. Another mes- K ( sage to the Governor says that several ^ non-union men liav.* been blown up «&d that the union men propose to fighv the troops to'the death. A speclalitrain over the Union Pacific left Portland, bearing 200 troops of the Fourteenth Infantry from Van Couver, Washington, for Caur d'Alene mines. A special train over the Un'on Pacific arrived at Pendleton, bearing troops from Idaho. Two companies have left Fort Sherman for the scene of the trouble. In all about 700 United States troops and militia are on their way to the mines. Gen. Schofleld has ordered as addi­ tional troops to the Coeur d'Alene dis­ trict four companies of infantry from Fort Spokane, Washington, a troop of cava'.ry and six com. anies of infantry from Vancouver bar.a'dcs, Washington. These troops, with those previously or­ dered from Fort Sherman and Fort Miesjula, will give Col. Cartin an ativo force of nearly 8J0 men. WILL CLOSE SUNDAY. The Semite Talces Decisive Action In the Matter. The United Sena'e, by a vote of 51 to 14, has approved the $5,000,000 appro­ priation in aid "of the World's Fair. At-' tallied to the appropriation is the follow­ ing important proviso: "That the appropriation provided in this act shall be upon condition that the said World's Columbian Exposition shall ,bs closed on the first dav of the week, commonly called Sunday." Another condition of equal importance has been attached, although it is likely to be struck out on a reconsideration. It is as follows: "Provided the sale of intoxic itinji liquor on the Exposition grounds shall be prohibited, except for medical, botan­ ical, or scientific purposes." The final contest on the World's Fair items came up; in the Senate Wednes­ day afternoon as the climax to the three successive days of debate whic 1 have been given tho subject. Through a fic- t'on of the Senate the bill was not be­ fore the Sena'.e itself, but before the "committee of the whole" for prelim­ inary reVision and amendments. It was in this committee of the whole that the important action was taken, so that there is still opportunity for change when the committee of the whole re­ ports to the full Senate* The votes were so decisive, however Jthat there is no possibility of change upon the $5,010,000 appropriation or upon the Sunday question. According to a Washington dispatch, there is a ceriainty that an effort will be made to, strike out the liquor prohibi­ tion, and, as this was passed by only two majority, the prospects are that the prohibition will be elrmina'ed. The two Illinois Senators who voted for the liquor prohibition have determined to change their votes, which is sufficient to change the narrow majority which was given on the first vote."

Doctor Brunton, in an address lately reported in1 the Lo;.JJon Lancet, was cautioning his hearers--the members of a medical society--against hastily expressed opinions, as to the nature of patients' diseases, and emphasized his warning by two professional anec­ dotes. He was once present at a clinic, tlie subject of which was a man evidently suffeting from some disease of the heart.' An unnatural murmurin? sound could be heard from that organ, and the pupil of one of his eyes was very much dilated. The peculiar appear­ ance of the eye seemed to have some connection with the c irdiac affection, but various opinions were expressed by the different students as to what the precise nature this relation could be. The discussion was just becoming interesting when the patient re­ marked that his strange-looking eye was made of glass! At another clinic the professor in charge was discussing learnedly about the importance of attending to minor symptoms. " "Now gentlemen," he said, "in the case of this woman here, certain things should be confidently affirmed from the condition of her teeth." He w'as proceeding to particularize, but just then the,j)atient broke in upon him. "Please, sir," she said, as she took- out her teeth, "I will hand them round; the young gentlemen might like to lookgat them closer.", Femininities.

Mr. Peffef offered a Joint resolution, to lie on thef table, limiting the term of office cf th« President of the United States to one tern:. Mr. Quay presented. In order that it might be printed in the Record, the statement off the employe* at Homestead. The attend­ ance in the House was larger than usual. The following measures w ere passed: Fqp . the construction of a bridge ac:ois the Mis- - Rouri Iiiver at or near Omaha;1 impropri­ ating 82i>i),000 for the publication of the re- - ports of the eleventh census. Mr. Herbert, Mr. Lawson, and Mr. Dolllver were appoint­ ed conferrees on the naval appropriation bill. Mr. Wheeler of Alabama submitted the, conference report on the military academy appropriation bill Mr. Holman and Mr. Robertson opposed the report on account of the Ir.rge appropriations, this bill being the largest ever passed by Cong res* for tha military academy. The silver question, which has been be­ fore the Llld Congress ever since last December was finally settled in the Housa, the 13th. The bill itself was not voted|'* upon, but on the test vote taken cn tber<: resolution reported from the Committee o«' Rules to take up the bill for consld ration," free-silver-coinage was defeated by a ma­ jority of 28. The Senate, by a vote of 51 to 14 approved the $5,000,000 appropriation in aid of the World's Fair. Attached to the ap­ propriation is the following j roviso: "That the appropriation npnvlrtwi f -p In this apt; shall be upon condition that the said World's Columbian Exposition shall he closed on the first day of tho week, com­ monly called Sunday." Another condition is as follows: "Provided the sale of intox­ icating liquor on the Exposition grounds ' shall t be prohibited, except for mcdical« botanical, or scientific jurposei." World's Fair legislation 13 again tha property of the Bouse. The Senate, on the 14th. passed the Sundry Civil bill with va­ rious amendments relating to the Exposi­ tion. Sunday closing is made Ironclad, but former action in prohibiting the r Bale of llquOrs on the grounds is revet Bed and that matter left en­ tirely to the Exposition management. As tho sundrv civil bill came from the House It Kicrcly appropriated the' remain­ der of the fl.500,000 provided for in the bill of the Fifty-first Congress for the run­ ning expenses of the Government exhibit and tne National Commission, with a pro­ viso that the Government exhibit should bo closed Sunday. The Senate increased the amounts for these purposes by $500,000 and added the new propositions for souvenir coins and for payment of awards, making the total Increase over the House in 1he neighborhood of $6,300,000. It also made the Sunday closinsr apply to the entire Ev- ,position. The House was cccupied In minor business. CROP REPORTS. the meaning of the new move. "Will the soldiers protect the 'black sheep' if Carnegie tries tq_staVt up with non-union men?" was the chief question. Many of the men who lingered on the streets re­ fused to believe that tho troiops had be'n called out and said that it jvas like all of the wild rumors that had been circulated every night. The hot-headed strikers were at first disposed to be a little de­ fiant, and 'there were occasional declar­ ations that even the militia would be opposed, but when it was learned that the division ordered out numbered 8,000 men, the declarations promptly gave way to, "Oh, well, we have leat the Pinkertons.anyway; they did not dare to come," and thus consolation is found in the reflection that the most hated enemy of organized labor -- the Pinkerton guards--had been obliged to confess de­ feat and give up the battle. THE LOSS AT ST. JOHN'S. One-Half the Entire T iwn In Ashes and 10,000 People In TVnt*. A stable at the head of Long's hill in St. John's, N.. F., caught lire. The wind was blowing a strong gale from the west and rain had not fallen for three weeks. The adjoining houses* rapidly caught and in a few nrnutes Long's hill was a sea of tames. Fiying embers igni'ed houses hundreds of yards to the leeward, and so rapid was the work of destruction that there was no time to haul down a sufficient num­ ber of hotlses to break the march of tho fire. The Market Houee, tho Commercial Bank, the Athenceum Building, St. Andrew's Church, tho Temple Club House, the Chamber of Commerce Building, the Telegram " Building, the Anglican Cathedral ^ost $5t>0,000), the Methodist College, the Masonic Temple and St. Patrick's Hall all fell before the fames. The water­ side mercantile premises were attacked, and the shipping I egan to get out from the piers to the middle of the harbor. The Anglo-American telegraph office became untenable, and t ommunication with the outside world was cut off. The sea of lire which swept Water street rendered all attempts at saving property futilo. A lew hundred people who had the temerity to remain indoors were compelled to flee to the rear and make their escape frofn piers aboard vessels tbat were waiting,swinging to their lines ready to drop out of danger. The build­ ings on Water stre.-t were built of stone and brick, but those Build ngs fell almost as quickly as the wooden structures in other streets. Having expended its fury to the eastward, where there was noth ng more to destroy, tho fire bt gan to edge ^northward up the slope on which the town was built. Cochrane street, leading from the Government house to the harbor, 'tho town's hand­ somest thoroughfare^ fell a victim, only a few dwellings at the top escaping. The Me:ho list church*on this street es­ caped, but not so St..Patrick's hall. Successful efforts were made to pre­ vent the lire from creeping across to the Mercy convent, bu'i the Congregational Church in this neighborhood could not be saved. Two-thircls of the bus n.>&8 part of the town and one-half of the en­ tile town--three-fourths of tho value of the 1 own--has been destioyed.

The Farmers' Review of this week contains the following: Reports from alternate countips in twelve states have been received on the condition of corn, wheat and oats. The reports from the corresponding counties were published last week. Corn. In Illinois corn is reported a full aver­ age or above by about one-lourth ol' the correspondents; one-half report fair, and only one in four report the outlook as poor. In Indiana 85 per cent, report t h e c o n d i t i o n a s f a i r t o g o o d , a n d i n * Ohio 80 per cent, give fair to good. In Michigan, Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakolas the condition is fair to good quite generally, though a few counties in each of these States give a report of poor. In Iowa not more than one-fourth of the counties will have a full crop, but a large number say that the crop Will be an average. In Wisconsin the outlook is, however, bad; more than half of all the correspondents declaring that the crop will be poor, and in some cases not n.ore than half a crop. In Minnesota the report is quite generally fair. Spring Wheat. Spring wheat is good, with few excep­ tions, in all the States reporting, except Nebraska. There a few counties report the condition poor on account of the long dry spell that haa,prevailcd in some sections. Oats. The oat crop is generally good in In­ diana, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, Wis­ consin, Minnesota, and the Dakotas. In Illinois one-third of the counties re­ port only fair, and half report good. The condition in Missouri is identical with Illinois. In Kansas all r port fair to good except 20 per cent. In Nebraska one-half report the outlook as very bad, and most or the others repbrt that the crop will be below an average. In Iowa one-third report average or above; 40 per cent, report below average, and the rest report poor. CONDITION OF TRADE. Pig-Iron Market Is Overloaded, antl Prices Ara Lower than Kver He tore. K. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says; , There is a stronger demand for fin­ ished products of iron and ateel, while pig-ircn is overloaded and weaker, and the Thomas Company has reduced its price for No. 1 anthracite $1 to $1.50 per ton, which is believed to be the lowest piice ever recorded. Sales of 10,000 tons of steel rails have been made by Eastern works, and the ag­ gregate for the half year,, has been H6c,- 000, with 500,000 tons actually delivered, which corresponds with the de.rease in railroad building, and the prospect that the new mileage for the year will be only about 3,000. Bar iron is in heavy demand and structural also, with an ad­ vance of about $1 per ton. Textile mills arc all well employed for tho season, and better orders for woolen goods have given in^ulte to.purchases of wool by manufacturers. Boot and shoe shops are busy and pressed for early deliver­ ies. and Eastern shipments are now the largest ever known for the year thus far--l,8i7,000 cases, against 1,733,f00 last year and l,820,0t 0 in lb9?, hitherto the maximum. Parafllne rubber is lower at 68 cent?, with works busy. There are moderate sales of copper at llg cents. Tin is inactive, but lead is slightly advanced. The last advance in coal has stopped-' business, but the half year's output was 19,638,000 tons, against 18,374,100 last year.
