G., has been called out to protect the j Central and West Shore property at Buffalo, it being feared that the swltch- ! men on those roads may go out. The Sixty-fifth Regiment was sent to Cheek- to wag a to guard the Lehigh Valley and Erie yards. The two regiments, when they reached the scene of the difficulty, found everything quiet The Central officers made a demand on the Sheriff for protection, but this is considered as a precautionary measure.

It is impossible to learn the nature of these instructions, but the Impression is that they involve the dis­ missal of the consul.

The fire started in a little room back of the Postottice Building on Main street, and horned all day. The loss will reach 176,000. THS general term of the Supreme Court of New York State has decided that fishing in a private pond on Sunday • i m - \ * ble even the poorest paid laborer to afford to take his family to the big show. It is calculated that if the rates were ! placed at $1 the railroads could afford to carry them on excursion trains, on the ! basis that a large number of passengers would reduce the actual tost to the rail­ roads to 20 cent" je- head. A CRACKED fiagotone on the sidewalk In front of the Cleveland Hotel, one of the many cheap lodging houses on Old Chatham street. New York, shows the frightful force with which a suicide's body struck after a leap from a sixth- story window. Pas6ers»by at midnight, Monday, were startled by an agonizing shriek, supplemented bv a crash. Turn­ ing they saw the limp form of a nude man upon the sidewalk in front of the Cleveland Hotel. The dead man's Dame was Johan Kerner, a book printer. He weighed 245 pounds. He was out of work. WESTERN. STX men were killed and fifteen others seriously injured by an accident to a construction train near Coshocton, Ohio. The train was carried on to a side-trapk by an open switch while going at high speed and ran into some osnpty cars. Ten cars were wrecked. WOBK has been begun on the projected Chicago and St. Louis Electric Railroad. The President of the corporation says the building of the road will be pushed rapidly, and that it will be in operation in a few months, as most of the right of way has been secured and much of the preliminary work done, F. J. SCHERMERHORN, geologist and Jfiinera^o^istj of Idaho, writes under date of Aug. 8 that Ke has discovered an immense glaciaj field in Central Idaho, beneath which lie a series of glacial lakes. The field probably covers an area nearly as large, though not so thick, as the great glacial field of the Alps. The glaciers are located about twenty-five miles southwest of Shoup, amid a number of high peaks not down on th*. maps. AT Akron, Ohio, forty milkmen were arrested, charged with adulterating milk. For F orae time the inspector has been investigating the milk supplied to the citizens, his suspicions having been aroused by the unprecedented number of deaths of infants during the heated term. He claims to have secured evi­ dence that salicylic acid and borax have been used to preserve the milk; that these ingredients rendered it indigesti­ ble to infants, and are responsible for the increased mortality. AT Leadville, Colo., the sides and roof of the Sprague Block, two stories high, collapsed. The lower portion of the building was occupied by the millinery store of Hpnlev & Kringen. At the sound of breaking joists Miss Jeffrey, a milliner, rushed to the door, but was caught and pinned to the earth. Her legs were badly bruised. Miss Broderick, the trimmer of the estab­ lishment, was also caught beneath the falling brick, and was taken out uncon­ scious. In the flat above was Mrs. Mollie Pierce, who was probably fatally injured. It is said a woman was passing at the time, and that she is under the ruins. As THE Denver and Cheyenne pas­ senger train on the Union Pacific stopped at the coal chutes at La Salle, Col., two masked men entered one of the cars and with loaded revolvers or­ dered the passengers to hold up their hands. The fellows were on the point of collecting toll when one passenger opened fire. They returned it, but one of them being hit they both jumped from the cat* and fled. The man who opened fire on the hold-ups is a member of one of the Wild West shows that have been exhibiting at Denver the last two weeks and the show was going to Kansas City. Several shots were fired through one end of the car by the cowboy In his at- taok on the hold-ups. Sheriff Arthur is organizing a posse to pursue the fellows and it is expected no difficalty will be experienced in capturing them, as one of them is supposed to be wounded. ventlon of the Seventh Kansas District has renominated Jerry Simpson for Con­ gress by a vote of 72 to 36.

Y/hother it would have proved so very serious to the railroads to have 150 or 200 men leave their posts of duty without warning is not now the question. Property belonging to the railroad company is being destroyed by incendiary fires; mea engaged in the peaceful performance of their duties ia the companies' service have been ae» faulted; the movement of trains has been seriously interfered with, and the lives of innocent persons who were in no way connected with the strike, and had not even heard of it, hare been en­ dangered by the derailment of a pas­ senger train on one of the roads. TENNESSEE'S convict lease system may be considered almost as good as abrogated. It was not done by the processes of legislation but by mob ' violence. One year ago the stockades at Coal Creek and Briceville were burned and several hundred prison­ ers set free Four months later the convicts at Oliver Springs were released. Saturday the convicts at Tracy City were sent to Nashville and the mountain stockade was burned. Mon­ day morning tho Inman "mines in Mari­ on County were visited in a like man­ ner, and in the afternoon the lessees formally declared to the Governor that they would not receive the convicts, feed them, or have anything to do with them. This is regarded as almost equiv­ alent to surrendering the lease. SOUTHERN. IF cleanliness is next to godliness, the New Orleans messenger boys are fit rabjects for missionary work.

FIRE destroyed the Lindell Hotel, the" Cotton Belt depot, and several small adjoining buildings at Pine Bluff, Ark. The lire was caused by a defective flue. It was supposed that all the guests escaped, but workers among the ruins oame upon the remains of a man since identified as E.K.L. Johnson,a prominent lawyer of Dewitt,Ark.,and a guest of the hotel. The loss to the hotel proprietor, J. M> Parker, is $10,000; insurance, $7,500; loss on building, $9,000; insur­ ance, $7,000. Loss on Cotton Belt depot slight; fully covered by insurance. All freight and railroad papers saved. Fire at Piqua, Ohio, which was thought to be quenched, broke out again. The Opera House and two other blocks were destroyed and four more blocks dam­ aged. The loss is $70,000. POLITICAL. IN GENERAL EX-PRESIDENT BOGRAM, of Honduras, is reported to have been killed by rebels. THE national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republlo is to be held in the fall of 1893, but where has not yet, been decided, although It is probable that Indianapolis will be chosen as the plaoe. A party of Indian­ apolis G. A. R. men were in Chicago the other day conferring with Col. J. A. Sexton, H. H. Dietrich, Guy F. Gould, W. C. King, and A. J. Burbank, all of whom are prominent Grand Army men. The subject of the encapment was dis­ cussed and several speeches made urging that it be held in In­ dianapolis. Resolutions were sug­ gested by Mr. King, to be prepared in one week. These are to support the claim of Indianapolis. At the meeting of the George H. Thomas Post resolutions were unanimously adopted declaring that, as the World's Fair would take up all the time, thought, and means of all Chicagoans, rendering impossible the welcome and hospitality which her Grand Army men would de­ sire to show to the members of the Na­ tional Encampment, and as the Indiana department desired the encampment of 18W3, the post heartily approved of the proposal to hold the encampment in In­ dianapolis, and requested the Illinois delegates to vote for Indianapolis as the place for holding the encampment of 1S93. R. G. DUN & COMPANY'S weekly re­ view of trade says: Croy reports are uot quite up to expecta­ tions, and are construed as Indicating a doBcIent supply of corn and oats, while any possible deficiency in wheat and cotton will-be more than met by surplus stocks. But prices have advanced quito sharply, and exports of domestic products fell be­ low last year's prices. Great industries are all doing remarkably well, excepting the Iron manufacturea The iron output Aug. 1, was 155,136 tons weekly, against 100,151 July t, and 160,576 a year ago, but the stocks unsold nevertheless increased 16,000 tons during the month of July, and on Aug. 1 exceeded 1,000,000 tons. Southern pig iron Is pressed for sale, and some quotations are lower than ever. But the resumption of manufacture by Western Iron works, which have settled their controversies with the men. will make a great change in the situation at once. Increasing the output of pig-iron, but probably the demand still more. Man­ ufactured Iron and steel have been In vory active demand, nearly all the works la operation being crowded with orders. There Js no market worth mentioning for coal, but in the textile industries the ut­ most activity prevails. Manufacturers are buylns wool freely. Boot and shoe factories are still pressed to the utmost. MARKET REPORT8, CHICAGO.

Captured the CaptaUb J • - Strikers Are i>et«nnlo< Knoxvllle, Tenn., special: 5 Z-. J»<53*c£2 killed and wounded no one yet knows. The only fact which none can dispute is that the fiercest battle in the history of the Coal Creek 1 roubles began early in the morning and continued daring the day. It is stated that Captain Keller An­ derson,-in command of the Coai Creek troops, has been captured by the m'.ners, taken to an unknown place and lynched. For several hours firing was, not gen­ eral. About 2 o'clock the miners made an organized assault on the fort and were successfully repulsed. The seoond assault was easily repulsed. The third attempt resulted in a .regular pitchud battje and Ci at ling guns got Hi theii work. r Position of the Fort., The fort occupies a crest of a hiii eom- mading the range of Coal CRE _k valley for five miles oast and west. To the norlh is a spur of the valley in which the stockade of the Knoxville Iron Com- Eany is located. It will be impossi- le for the miners to teach the stockade as long as the fort holds out. To the southward from the fort stretches Walden ridge, which is very steep on the northern side and easy of ascent from the south. The top for several miles is a series of great ledgesof sand­ stone, making a natural and al­ most invincible fortress. The dis­ tance from Fort Anderson across the valley to the top of Walden ridge is about 1,400 yards. On the top of the ridge the miners had planted two field pieces furnished them by sympa­ thizers in Kentucky. The north side of the ridge and creek skirting the foot of Fort Anderson hill is a dense growth of hemlock and laurel. The assailants of the fort had all the advantages of hiding, aud if one of their number should be either killed or wounded he could be hastily removed to a place of safety without any one being the wiser. Ho one is allowed to approach within a half mile of the fort unless he Is known to be in sympathy with the miners, therefore it is impossible to get the names or even the number of killed or wounded. Three Miners Captured. Between the first and second assault on the fort three miners were captured. They sent up a flag of truce to Captain Anderson to ask for release. He was expecting such a message, and met the men on equal grounds. He was seized by several of them and rushed down the hill, and finally taken to one of the ho­ tels in the village, where he was guard­ ed by Hobert Lindsay, a deputy United States Marshal, and a , number of friends. They held him as a hostage, and would not agree to give him up on- til tho troops and convicts are with­ drawn from the valley. It is from here he is said to have been taken and lynched. A Kiioxville man, who arrived on the night train, states that three miners went to Camp Anderson under a flag of truce. Thinking they had come, as they had on several occasions before, to hold a conference with, him, Captain Ander­ son walked outside his lines and down to where the miners stood. He wa* im­ mediately Beizcd, and, using him as a shield, they took him down the hill. The men in the fort were afraid to fire when they at last realized what was be­ ing done for fear of killing their com­ mander. He was taken through ex­ cited mobs of miners, who were yelling "hang him," etc. They succeeded in safely conducting him to a room in the hotel. Once there one miner placed a gun at his head, demanding him to surrender his garrison. Looking straightforward at the man he asked permission to say a few words. It was granted. To the leader ho said: "Tell my daughter I died like a soldier," and, turning to the man who had placed the gun to his head, he said, "Now, ---- you, shoo^," Finally Sheriff Kuther- ford and deputies took charge of him.

It was 9 o'clock at night and he could not see a yard before him. Suddenly a flash startled the troops. On all sides shots were being fired at them without mercy. They had been am­ bushed. Taken by surprise the boys did not know what to do, and panic reigned for some minutes; then Carnes succeeded in gett'ng his men together and fired upon the m:ners, who were in full retreat. Several of them were hurt, Four of Carnes' men were killed and several hurt. Owing to the many conflicting rumors It is impossible to get the exact facts. The wires are all down between Clinton and Coal Creek, and no direct communi­ cation is possible except by courier. IOWH'S Movement F >r Good Road*. Judge E. H. Thayer advanced a num­ ber of interesting suggestions in his speech before th >, good-roads conven­ tion at Des Moines the other day. He advocatrd the co-operation of the gov­ ernment, State, county, township, city an>^ individual ^<n buil Jing first-claSe roadways through the State. Quoting that part of the National Constitution which says, "Congress shall have power to establish postoffiees and postroads," he took the giound that every inhab­ itant of Iowa was entitled to have his mail brought to his home, whether that were in the city or country. Judge Thayer woull have the Gov­ ernment help also by returning to the respective States whose lands were sold on Government account the money de­ rived from them, less the purchase price, the cost of surveys and the ex­ pense of selling. This would give Iowa in round numbers $6,500,000 as Govern­ ment contribution to the building of good roads. He would have the State take part by issuing $5,000,000 worth of 3 per cent, bonds, and the cities could aid if the Legislature would authorize the com­ mon c<Vncil8 to appropriate money for good roads in any part of the county, Instead of, as now, limiting the expen­ diture to within three miles of the city limits. ' This convention, its delegates repre- sentiag every county in the State, la one of the most important ever held in Iowa. It is the first fruits of agitation in Iowa in favor of transforming the muddy, sticky, bottomless trails mas­ querading as highways into good smooth thoroughfares serviceable every day tn (AM year.--CWcago Sew» Becord.

More than cars have been burned, and a trainlc of passengers had a miraculous ei with their lives. Freight trains been boarded and trainmen comp1 to desert their post£ Switches been turned and cars thrown intc ditch. Gondolas were released coal trestles and allowed to crash into the yards, wrecking locomoti' and cars and creating general ha with railroad property, and to-night strikers are on top. There is no dou about it, and more trouble of the soi that marked the early hours of morning is expected. All the deputies that the (Sheriff has called out to com­ ply with the demand of the company for protection deserted him, and Sheriff Beck came into town to demand that the militia be called out. This demand was acceded to. The Erie Boad is blocked now. The fires of Sunday night and the wrecks block one end and standing trains block the other. The strikers are busy disclaiming responsi­ bility for that night's events, but thejr do not try to cover their delight at the result. Entire Trains on Fire. It was about 1 o'clock Monday morn­ ing that the strikers put in their best work at the Lehigh yardsc having at that time managed to blockade "the Erie tracks and wreck several trains. It was very easy to set fire to the oars --a lighted mat?h in the oil box of the wheel did the business. So about the hour named fire appeared simultaneous­ ly in the Lehigh yards adjoining the Erie, but so far east that the city fire department could not reach it. At 3:15 a. m. 150 cars were burning and the fires were still breaking out among the freight cars. The fire spread away down the Lehigh and Erie. Long strings of cars were fired at both ends and are burning toward the center. There is no possi­ bility of saving them as no water is near enough to bo of any use. Many Erie men, among them several officials, are on the ground and are making every effort to save what they can, but their efforts are almost unaaviling. By drag­ ging cars apart by hand a few are being saved, but it is hardly one in twenty. No engines are here, and every car has to be moved by hand. Around the burn­ ing cars strikers and their sympathizers crowd and enjoy the result of their work. Perched high on box cars they mock and jeer at the railroad men who work at the blazing wrecks. They have not relaxed their exertions to keep "scab" labor from entering the city. Every one who walks along the tracks is questioned as to his business and destination. When each train ar­ rived it was stopped by strikers and thoroughly overhauled, tb he sure no help was straggling in to the companies. The passengers were indignant, anil asked how long they were going to be kept there. The only satisfaction they received was in the reply that when the strikers got through with them they might go on, and not till then. The Seventy-fourth Begiment has been called out to protect the Central and West Shore property, it being feared that the switchmen on these roads may go out. The Sixty-fifth Regi­ ment has been sent to Cheektowaga to guard the Lehigh Valley and the Erie yards. The Central officers have made a demand on the Sheriff for protection. PROGRESS OP THE PAIR.

There are now 8,488 men at work at the World's Fair Grounds in Chicago. This increase is due to the activity of the work in the various State buildings, special structures and "concession building. The grass plots, flower beds, and roadways are now being made. Nearly all the ornamental railings and balustrades around tho lagoons are in place. The Manufactures' Building is getting along rapidly. The mammoth derrick tor the erection of the great arches has been shifted to the north and work com­ menced in closing up this end of the building. The skylight glass is being rapidly placed over the nave trusses. The ironwork is entirely finished on Machinery Hall, and some of the sculp­ tured figures have been placed along the ridge line of the roofs. The decora­ tive fresco work has begun in the log­ gias of the ' Agricultural Building and the large sculptured pediment is being placed. All is activity at the outer end of the Grand Basin^ on the main pier, where the peristyle, or open colonnade, con­ nects the music hall with the casino. The columns and trusses are all in place for the casino. The peristyle columns are set as far as the opening connecting the outer harbor to the Grand Basin. Construction has begun on the frame­ work for the 100-foot "Statue of the Re­ public," rising from the waters of the basin. Work is progressing well on the new pier, running out 2,400 feet into the lake, where the steamboats from the city will land. Twenty-three State buildings are in progress. The Washington Building will at once be commenced. Montana will probably be the first State Building finished, for the work is already well advanced. The Government departments are being actively pushed forwasfd. The main building is about finished, except around the base of the dome, while t&e battle-ship Illinois is now commencing to I-, ok something like a man-of-war, with its white covering of cement and smokestacks in place. Work has also been begun on the Government life- laving station. On the Mines, Transportation, and Woman's Buildings little now remains to be done except the ipterior decora- Uon. The work on the electricity build­ ing is being rapidly advanced day by lay. * Fair Notes. HABVABD UNIVERSITY -wants 7,000 square feet fdr its intended exhibit.

The best citizens of Marion County are indignant, but a popular feeling exists and the people generally are disposed to encourage the act. Th^ty negroes and some ex-convicts, it is said, were in the mob. Clarence Livingstone was started from Whitwell at midnight to notify the Inman authorities. The miners shot his horse from under him and caught and whipped him. The Marion Cqunty Circuit Court is in session, and it is presumed that Judge Moon will take immediate steps to se- core the arrest of at least some of the miners who participated in the capture of the stpekade and release of the con­ victs. ? The Tennessee Coal, Iron, and Ball- road Company sent a communication to Gov. Buchanan, asking that the State protect them in their rights. Later in the evening the company sent the Governor a formal notification to the effect that they would not receive, or feed the convicts who had been capt­ ured by the miners at Inman and brought to Nashville without their con­ sent. As soon as the communication was read, the Governor called a meeting of the Board of Prison Inspectors. The Inspectors decided to not only receive., the convicts but alBO to supply them with food. Mr. Baxter said: "The company is willing to surrender it3 lease contract and leave the State free to make such disposition of the convicts as the State authorities may deem best. The com­ pany offered this to the last extra ses­ sion of the General Assembly, but no action was taken upon it. This offer has stood open to the State authorities since that date, and is now open to thein. The company only asks that the law he. enforced and the company be protected in the execution of the contract, or that it be canceled." The latest reports from Tracy Cltf state that all is quiet there. There w much apprehension to the safety of Oliver Springs, where there is no State militia on duty. Monday night the miners went to the Inman stockade, pulled down one of the barricades, and demolished the build­ ings with axes. The .oss to the owners of the property is $3,000. All of the works belonging to the company will close down. Restoring the Drowned. Prof. Laborde's simple method of restoring life in persons apparently drowned has been recently tried in France with signal success. The other day at a watering place in Normandy two bathers, a young man and a boy, who were unable to swim, went out of their depth and disappeared. They were brought on shore inanimate, and were taken to the village. Two doc­ tors were sent for, but the young man gave no sign of life, and they declared he was dead. M. Labordo, who was fishing at half an hour's dis­ tance, came up as soon as he heard of the accident. He examined the body, and found that the extremities were cold and the heart had stopped. Then, taking hold of the root of the tongue^ he drew it violently forward, giving it a succession of jefks in order to ex­ cite the reflex action of the breathing apparatus, which is always extremely sensitive. At the end of a few mil* utes a slight hiccough showed that the patient was saved. In addition to the usual restorative means, Prot. Laborde, in extreme cases, rubs the chest with towels soaked in hot and nearly boiling water, although the tfein ts Mistered by thi* 1 Asi.lri Jfcje ifc* i? A.TF. ASI.
