A THINK THEY HAVE CLEWS, People Who Write Letters Containing Theories on the Boston Tragedy. FALL River, Mass., Aug. 17.—The State is making every preparation for the presenta- tion of evidence against Lizzie Borden at the preliminary hearing next Monday.! This murder, like all tragedies in which the public becomes deeply interested, has .de- veloped the inevitable letter writer. Here area few samples of about 300 letters received by City Marshal Hilliard: I will have my say now. When you think you have Lizzie for the murder you are rong. Ididit. I said IwouldandI did. By the time you get this I shall be far from Boston. JOUN DEAR SirR—If it isa second-hand hatchet you are looking for youcan get all you want on Portland Street, this city, 26 cents each, and these will tell you those no the one that was usedin the Borden murder, DEAR SIR—Why not clear up this dreadful mystery by an examination of the retina of the eye of one or both of the murdered parties? If either were con- scious at the time ot the murder the last object seen by them will be found impressea there. In the case of Mrs. Borden it would be a sure test; would think she turned , as is supposed, and faced the assassin. Dark, mysterious cases have been brought to light in this manner, by the means of photography. Do nos care to be known at present. espectfully, DETECTIVE. Another Boston man was suspicious of the Anarchists and sent the following: DEAR Sir—l would suggest that you make in- quiries as to whether Mr. Borden said or wrote any- thing to excite the hatred, malice and murderous vengeance of the Anarchists during the recent Homestead troubles, and did he have any money dealings with persons who may be supposed to have sympathy with Anarchists? vas the person who in an anery talk threatened Mr, B. with ‘getting even with him’’ an Anarchist? PRO BONO PUBLICO. Some ofthe letterscame from New York, some from Chicago and one from Minne- apolis. The Borden family and Mr. Jennings, their counsel, have also received many of these cranky missives, and a few of them have been of an insulting character. The friends of the prisoner are not idle. Some of the strongest points for the defense wiil be: First, thatas to the axes and hatch- ets found, that none of them had an edge of such razor-like sharpness that it could sever the hairof Mrs. Borden from her head as heatiy as a shears would have done, and as Mayor Coughlin and Dr. Dolan say that it was so severed; second, that Mr. Jennings as Mr. Borden’s iawyer would have knowledge of the claim of the police there was a wili forthcoming; third, the entire absence of blood on Miss Borden’s garments. The poison story seems to have been ex- ploded,. It is not expected that Dr. Wood will find traces of poison in the stomachs or viscera ofeither Mr. or Mrs. Borden. The fact is that the identification of Lizzie Borden as the womanto whom Eli Bence refused to sell prussic acid ts likely to prove a case of entirely mistaken identity. Inspector Mc- Caffrey was in Fall River jooking after drug- gists who were violating the law in selling poison. It was known that he was employ- ing a woman to obtain evidence as to sales, and it was claimed that this woman was not as large as Lizzie Borden. ‘The avsence of the poison disproves the theory that the old peo- ple’s sickness was caused as a result of poisoning, andthusthe attempted purchase of prussic acid by Miss Borden on Wednesday will, even if true, fallin value as a supple- mentary piece of evidence showing criminal deliberation and planning on her part. FIRES. An Italian Theater Burned, but No Lives Lost. ROME, Aug. 17.—The theater at Biella, in the Province of Novara, Northern Italy, was burned last night. No lives werelost. The loss is about 300,v00 lire, equivalent to $40,000, FOUR BLOCKS BURNED. KENDRICK, Idaho, Aug. 17.—Early this morning fire destroyed four blocks Inthe business portion ofthe town. Owingto the lack offire apparatus it was Impossible to combatthe flames. Theloss will reach $s0,- 00v. The insurance is $50,000. DRY GOODS BURNED. New YORK, Aug, 17.—The dry goods store of Fischer Bros., was damaged $13,000 by fire this morning. The five upper floors were occupied as tenements, but all the inmates were aroused iniimeand got out in safety. OPERA-HOUSE DESTROYED. COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 17.—Fire at Piqua, which was quenched yesterday, broke out at noon to-day. ‘The Opera-house and two other blocks were destroyed, and four more blocks damaged. Loss not yet ascertained. OPERA- HOUSE. Pigva, O., Aug. 17.—Conover’s Opera-house and four other buildings burned last night. Aid was called from surrounding cities to suppress the fire. The loss will reach $100,000. Another Faith Cure Victim. ELwoop, Ind., Aug. 17.—The people living just north of hereare excited over a case of faith cure that resultedin the death ofalittle child. Mrs. James Stam, the wife ofa farmer, isan ardent Christian Scientist. She is the mother of several children, the youngest of which was 18 months old. A few day ago this child took sick, and from the absence of medical aid, subsided intoa very dangerous condition, which continued to grow worse until Monday when it died. During the iliness of the babe several people Impiored Mrs. Stam to havea doctor sum- moned and render the necessary aid. she stoutly refused, saying she had given the child to God and He would cure or killit at His pleasure. With this she stood beside the child’s bed and watclied the life spark go out. The death of the child aroused a bitter feeling in the neighborhoo:|, where the Stams reside, and it is probable that the matter will not end pleasantly. Chicago Race Track War. CuiIcaGo, lll., Aug. 17.—Another phase of the complicated litigation growing out of the attempt of the city to close up the Gar- field race track was decided in the Circuit Court by Judge McConnell this afternoon. Jonn Murray, a bookmaker, and F. W. Web- ber, a ticket seller, were before him on writs of habeas corpus, having been arrested at the Garfield track. The court released Mur- ray, holding thatthe city ordinance under which he was arrested was vold because of non-publication. Webber, however, was re- fused a release onthe ground thatthe Gar. field track was a place of amusement and was being operated contrary to the jaw com: peliing such places to liave licenses.

The Disaffection Spreading to Many Other Roads. FREIGHT YARDS BLOCKED AND TRAFFIC AT A STANDSTILL, Engines and Trains Deserted at Midnignt —No Further Acts of Violence Re- ported — The State Militia Concen- trated at Buftalo—Vast Interests In- volveiin the Labor Battle—Demands Acceded to by Some Lines. BUFFALO, N. Y., Aug. 17.—The strike situa- tion this morning is most alarming and the danger can hardly be overestimated. There are nearly 1,000 men on strike, with the probability of 300 or 400 more being added to the number within the next twenty-four hours. The strike on the Central and West Shore Short Line after midnight causes much apprehension. Theaim now szems to bea general tie-up. The wildest rumors prevail as to the probable outcome of the trouble, which strikers predict may extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific unless their demands are acceded to. Up to midnight the situation was not ominous, Only two arrests had been made of strikers for rioting, and in one in- stance twenty-five policemen succeeded in dispersing a body of 200 destructionists. But as the strikers grow in numbers more outbreaks are feared’... With the trouble at Sara, Hornsville and Binghampton, and pro- spective strikes at Waveriy, Jersey City and other points, the handling of freight by the men imported to take the place of the strik- ers must necessarily be impeded, and it Is not easy to foresee the outcome should the difficulty extend,as the strikers affirm it will, from State to State. The strike on the Cen- tral was ordered by the Switchmen’s Union. A grievance committee of the New York Central waited on Supt. Voorhees yesterdey afternoon for a final answer to their de- mands. Mr. Voorhees declined to grant them and last nighttheclimaxcame. The committee met at Kaiser’s Hall and decidedto strike. The committee continued in session untila late hour, but about 9 o’clock the order was sent tothe various yards of the company at Black Rock, Suspension Bridge and Niagara Falls to stop work at midnight. The order tothetwo latter places was not ex pected to go into effect until 20’clock this morpning, when the messengers would arrive from Buffalo. The switchmen in the yards at this city were also ordered to go out at midnight. it was understood thatthe order would not affect passenger train service for the present but may at any moment. SUPT. VOORHEES TALKS, Before going down intothe yards this morn- ing, General Superintendent Voorhees was asked how many of the Central men were out: ‘*There are about 150 men in all.’’ ‘*What dothe strikers demand—tewer hours or increased wages?’’ **That’s just what I’d like yon to make clear to the public through the press. It is purely a strike for increased pay. The pre- tension of the men that they want fewer hours isallhumbug. They have worked in the past eleven hours a day actual work, and they expect to continue to work that way, but they want their hourly compensation in- creased by an amount which is practically 10 percent. Itis, as I said before, a strike for increased pay. The men have never before made the slightest objection to the number of hours they work.’’ **They made a formal demand for it?’’ ‘Yes. The night force came to us on Tuesday and made the same demand that has been made on other roads. They be- long to the Switchmen’s Union, and I sup- pose they made up their minds todo as the other union men did. Their demand was re- fused, The men employed on this road to Buffalo have been receiving more pay than any other men performing like service on this road in the State of New Yors, and we decided not to grant their demands.’’ **Do you anticipate much trouble as a re- sult of these men going out?’’ ‘*No, There has been no demonstration as yet and no delay of trains. Ishall not worry about it.’’ **Do you know whether there Is any perish- able freight at present in the yards?’’ ‘‘Yes. Iknowthatthereis none, respect we are in very good shape.,’’ ‘*‘Doyouexpect any difficulty in getting men to take the strikers’ places? No;notif weare given protection by the authorities.’’ Asked whether the fact that the West Shore has been carrying freight transterred from the Erie had anything to do with prompting the Central’s men to go out, Mr. Voorhees said he did not think it had. **Weare able to handle whatever freight is brought to us?’’ VAST INTERESTS INVOLVED. An enormous amount of traffic will be tied up by the strike, as it will, no doubt, involve the Lake Shore road and, perhaps, all the lines in Buffaio. The Delaware, Lackawanna & Western watchmen have plainly been in sympathy with their striking brethren of the Lehigh and the Erie, and they will not prob- ably remain long at work handling freight forthe other lines. The strike is extending and may be far-reaching in its consequences and disastrous to the business community. The Central’s yards are of vast extent and inthree different sections of thecity. Four of the six switch-tenders employed inthe New York Central depot at Exchange street quit their posts soon after 12 o’clock. Ar. rangements were at Once made to send out an engine and crew to bring in the Lake Shore passenger train due here at1:40 0’clock. A police escort was sent with the engine. In the Central yards at 2 o’clock all the men had quit work and all” the engines were being tiedup. Twenty-five policemen under Capt. Zacher were on guardin the yards, Everything is quiet andorderly. The New York Central yards here passed througha strike two yearsago. The company defeated the men, filling the yards with non-union men. It was not believed that the union could Again geta stronghold in the yards, but com- mittees have been at work for several montis preparing fora strike. A vote was taken in the yards a week ago and resulted in three- fourths of the men agreeing to strike for the ten hour system. The action of last night was the result ofthe ballot. The company employs about twenty-five engines and something over a dozen night engines, each having a switcuing crew of three men, be- sides the engineers and firemen, making a total of about 125 men in switching service in the yards. The strike on the Central and West Shore will very nearly blockade business on the lakes, so far as Buffalo is concerned, Already In this the shipments of coal have about stopped. The average movement has been about two cargoes a day since Friday. Already the Northwestern flour agencies are complaining that they are getting swamped with flour, and with only the Lackawanna left to help them out they will accomplish very little to- ward keeping up with Eastern business. The receipts of grain are so heavy that the eleva- tors will soon be full. General package freight is accumulatingso rapidly that the warehouses are overflowing with it. The ef- fect of the strike on the big railroad shops is already becoming apparenj, Cars for re- building and repair are growing few in the shops, while they are Milling up on the road. ‘*If the strike continges much longer,’’said one of the Lehigh Valley men last night,*‘the road will be compelled to make serious fre- duction in its shop force,.’’ j RUMORS OF A CONFERENCE. any rumors of conferences between pign officials of the roads and grand officers of the organizations were Current last night, but so far as known nothing of the kind occurred. The report that President McLeod was com- ing here andthe presence of Vice-President Webb inthecity probabiy gave rise tothe rumors, The General Superintendent of the Reading system, Mr. Bonsallo, is expected here to-day. Grand Master Sargeant and Grand Master Dobbs of the Locomotive Firemen, and -Grand Master Wilkinson ofthe Trainmen, were also reported to be here or expected. The last named left Chi- cago yesterday for Buffalo, but nothing ts kpown of the first two named. Division No, 12 of the Brotherhood of Loco- motive Firemen held its regular meeting last night. Atits close the members declined to say anything about what occurred at the meeting, It was expected that Messrs. Sar- geant and Dobbs would be present at the meeting, but they did not put in an appear- ance. Nearly all the firemen seen did not be- lieve they would be called on to go out. Supt. Finnell of the Lehigh Valley stated last night that the company will for the present pay particular attention to the lake freight business... ‘‘We will soon be in good shape to handle our business,’’ said Mr. Fin- nell, ‘‘as we have sixty men in East Buffalo now ready to go to work.’’ Supt. Brunn of the Erle expressed himself Satisied that everything would be running smoothly to-day, although the company will not attemptto dO any night work while the strike lasts. TROOPS ABUNDANT. Word from Philadelphia was received last night that President McLeod was prepared to send on all the men needed as soos as he Was assured ofthe proper protection. This he will get, for Gen. Doyle thas ordered the Fourth Brigade to report to him here to-day. Representatives of all the roads went be- fore Judge Green lastevening and reported that their property was not sufficiently guarded by the troops called out by the Sheriff. The Judge granted an order on Gen. Doyle, wha,issued a general order at once calling out The. entire Fourth Brigade. In his letter to Gen, Doyle Justice Greeu says: ‘*Itappears to methata riotous and unlawful assembly isin the County of Erie, State of New York, with intent to offer vio- lence to persons and property. I do hereby order and direct youto order your command and all thereof to appear and assemble forth- with at @ place to be designated by you in the City of Buffalotoaidthe authorities in sup- pressing violence and enforcing the law.’’ The ourth Brigade comprises fifteen companies from different points between here and Syracuse, ‘This brings an additional force of 1,140 men on the scene to-day, mak- non beg totalof about 38,000 men under arms ere.. These companies will be armed and equipve‘4d similar to the Sixty-fifth and Seven- ty-second. ‘The battery, however, will leave its guns behind andthe men will be armed with sabers and’pistols. Someof these com- panies staried for Buffale this morning. The Firstand Eighth companies of Rochester ar- rived over the Céntral aDout 4 o’clock this morning. They alighted at the Exchange ~treet Station, and under @harge of a pilot siarted to walk omthe tracks to Kast Buffalo. ARBITRATORSK ON THE SCENE. William Purcell of Rochester, Chairman of the State Board of Mediation and Arvitration, with Messrs. Robertson of Troy and Donovan of brooklyn, arrived here yesterday to in- vestigate the situation. Commissioners Purcell and Robertson drove out to the Erte and Lehigh yards, now under guard of the militia. They had an interview with Gen. Doyle and afterward called on Grand Master Sweeny, Anotherconference was held last night between the members of the State Board and aboutascore of switchmen, to- gether with the grand officers. It lasted till nearly midnight. The members of the State Board will to-day confer with the railroad representatives. Commissioner Donovan at the close of the meeting was asked if they had formed any impression regarding the situation. He said they could not do so untii they had heard both sides. Therallroaders when seen were full of glee over the tidings whicn came from out- side points where the strikes have been de- clared or men are reported on theeve of striking. The strikers are withdrawing from the Erie and Lenbhigh yards, where the mili- tary are in control, to outside territory, where they can have things more their own way and where they can make much trouble. An instance of this was given late yesterday afternoon, when a large body of strikers in- tercepted an Erie freight train at Taylor Park, near Alden, and stalled it, pulling all the coupling- pins and setting the air brakes. The train was backedto Aiden and lay there allnight. Troops will be sent out to that vi- cinity to-day. But one act of violence occurred during the night, which brought ovt the first shot of the campaign. At midnight Capt. Wood, Com- pany H, Seventy-fourth Regiment, who, with his company, was guarding the*Lackawanna Bridge, firedon a man on a movingtrain who threw a stone at him. The stone hit him on the leg and he promptly senta bullet from his pistol into the darkness, but did not hit, sotar asisknown. The early hours of the morning passed without incident, and at 10 o’clock this morning all is reported quiet at the scene of trouble. MILITIA ASSIGNED POSITIONS. A general order was issued from Brigade headquarters at100’clock this morning, as- Signing the troopsto positions. The sixty- fifth Regiment will cover the territory be- tween Tittt Farm and babcock street junc- tion onthe Lehigh. The Seventy-fourth will have charge of the Lehigh from there into the city. The Thirteenth of Jamestown, Forty-second of Niagara Falls, Forty-third of Olean and Twenty-fifth of Tonawanda are to be joined to the Sixty-flith. Companies A, Pand Dhave gone to the Lehigh trestle to relieve Capt. Babcock. During the night Gen. Doyle, who had been concentrating his troops at the principal point of danger, Willlam street, resolved to extend hislines. The Central strike widened out his field of operations. He therfore threw his pickets clear down town to Washington street. ‘The day force on the Central are out as wellasthe night men. The situation is very grave inthe great four track thorough- fare this morning. : it is the opening day of the Fair, and every road coming into the Union Depot has from one to five excursion trains. At10 o’clock a partial block had been formed, and trains getting into the depot. When it is remem- bered that the Central, Lake Shore, Buffalo & Rochester, Pittsbur¢, Lake Shove & Michigan Southern and Michigan Central & Western New York have their terminals in this sta- tion, the serious aspect cf the situation can lized. She Gar amit of the West Shore switchmen worked about an hour this morning and then Their demands are similar to the demands of the Central men. The night shift, without doubt, will refuse to work to-night. General Manager Halstead of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western issued imperative orders that no freight shall be received from any of the tied-up roads. The order also in- structs agents: at all junction points not to accept any freight that has been diverted from the Central, Erie or Lehigh Valley roads. Lake freight that !s bilied over elther of the above lines will also be refused should it be offered to the Lackawanna at this point, The fast freight lines are probably the greatest sufferers by the strike. Thousands of dollars worth of perishable S are standing on side tracks of the several lines ani nothing can be done towards forwarding them. ATTEMPTED TRAIN WRECKING, An attempt to wreck an engine and car at Black Rock was made last night. About 8:40 o’clock ah engine and car loaded with coupi- ing pins jeft the Krie yards at that place for Kast Buffalo. It had gone but a short distance when it into ap open Switch and jumped , The locomotive not. damaged but the car was wrecked : g B nor were scattered about he couror some di The switch 7 a a s bur nd wa ce, uel J." Henry Albach and Wm. Sanders, all strikers, on suspicion of having turned the switch. At 4:05 this morning fire was discovered ina y without difficulty. eros however, are still «badly locked, yards at East Buffalo are filled with cars and tied-up engines. There are rumors fly- ing ofa strike of locomotive firemen being imminent, but none of them can be traced to a reliable source. There is an apparent desire on the part of the strikers and their sympathizers to create trouble. They appear to be doing every- thing in their power to bring about a col- lision between thelr forces and a Boe of the militia, and are leading up to it gradually in order to throw the blame for the first of the outbreak on the military. Itis impossible to predict what the day will bring forth. The sentries are atroliing the yards on beats eight to twelve eetapart. Tents have been ordered tc the camp from Albany and everything indicates that the stay of the soldiers will a long one. Grand Master Sweeney was seen this morn- ing and asked what he thought of the coming of the Fourth Brigade. He replied that the presence of the troops was unnecessary to prevent destruction of property by switch- men. ‘*‘We will do no destruction; we have done no destruction.’’ Mr. Sweeney asserted as firmly as ever that the destruction of property on Sunday was not done by switch- men. Mr. Sweeney said that he had just received a message from the headquarters of the Chicago Switchmen’s Union informing him that an attempt was being made to employ switchmen ip Chicagototake the places of men here but the company had not yet suc- ceeded in inducing any to accept their offer. Mr. Sweeney declined to say whether he would order the Chicago men out or not, Any road that showed a disposition to be fair would not have any trouble. A strike of locomotive firemen on the Le- high Valley isimminent. Oneof their num- ber has been discharged for refusing to do switching. Grand Master Sargent is here. So also is Grand Master Wilkinson of the brakemen, Ohief Arthur of the engineers is expected. A committee firemen has been appointed to upon the Lebigh alley’ offi- and demand the reinstatement of discharged firemen. The situa- tion grows more ominous hourly. ‘he Roch- ester & Pittsburg switchmen struck at noon. It is reported that trainmen onal! the tiled-up roads will out within twenty-four hours, ‘he Sheriff has called on the Gov- ernor for the entire State militia. WILL RESUME THURSDAY. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Aug. 17.—the follow- ing was given out for publication: PHILDELPHIA, Aug. 17. Mr. EF. I. Sweigard, General Manager: DEAR SIR—The operations of the vards at Buffalo, Waverly and Sayre will be resumed Thurs- day, the i18thinst. You are hereby instructed to pay off ana discharge at once ail employes who have gone outon strike, except such hitherto efficient and faithful as you are convinced were coerced into the abandonment of their duttes, and who, if left to their own free will would not have left the service of the company and may have families or others dependent upov them. But the ringleaders ana strikers who are in eny way responsible for or participated in the destruc- tion of the company’s property, or who have been guilty of interference with the movement of trains or the performance of duty by other employes must not now or ever be restored to the service of the company. wis In exercising the discretton with which vou are charged, you should bear in mind that while it is to be regretted that there are men weak enough to yield to the dicta- tion of others in abandoning their places with good pay and steady work, furever disyualifying them- selves for the service of the company, harda- ship may be imposed upon their families, who shonia not be made to suffer if it can be avoided. A. A. McCLEop, President. Gov. Flower sent out this written state- ment: 2p. m.—No request has been received from the Sheriff of Erie County for mere troops up to this bour. Rk. P. FLOWER. At the request of the railroad authorities, Sheriff Beck this afternoon sent the following dispatch to Gov. Flower: FHion, R..P, Flower, Albany: The strike here has assumed such grave condi tions that it is imperative, in order to protect life and property in this ao ! and connty that the National Guard of the State of New York be or- dered out, and I most earnestly request the protec- tion of the State authorities to that extent. AUGUST BRECK, Sheriff. Mr. Webb of the Central, with Attorney Prague of the Erie, called on_ Sher- iff Beck this morning and de- manded more troops. Mr. Webb asked that the, Sheriff telegraph to the Governor for all the militia in the State to quell the disturbances here. Sheriff Beck de- clined to do so at once, but promised to con- sider the matter of the necessity and pro- priety ot calling for further assistance. DEMANDS ACCEDED TO. CunIcAGoO, lll., Aug. 17.—Aftera conference in the switchmen’s national headquarters at which allthe grand officers were present ex- cepting Grand Master Sweeney, Grand Sec- retary-Treasurer Simsrott said: ‘*The Erie lines and the Western New York and Penn. sylvania systems, two of the three great railway systems involvedin the strike, ac- ceded to our demands. ‘This leaves only the Lehigh Valley road to fight. We have re- ceived a telegram from Sweeney announcing the fact as I state it.’’ The General Grievance Committee of the Trainmen’s Union on the Northwestern road are holding secret sessions inthis city. Itis stated that a list of grievances is being pre- pared and that they will be presented next week, GOV. FLOWER AT ALBANY. ALBANY, N. Y., Aug. 17.—Gov. Flower ar- rived here at1:30a.m. He was metat the station by Adjt.-Gen. Porter. Gen. Porter told him he had just received word from Gen. Doyle that he had orderea out the whole of his brigade on the requisition of the Sheriff. The Governor repiled: ‘* Well, the Sheriff has had all the troops he has asked for thus far and he can have more. We must stop this.’’ A NEW PHASE, BLOOMINGTON, Lll., Aug. 17.—The strike of the bollermakers attheC, & A. shops here assumed a different phase to-day.

General Manager Chappellisin the city to- day but his visit is sald to have no connec- tion with the boillermakers’ strike. LABOR NEWS. MEETING OF THE UNITED TYPOTHETZ AT TO- RONTO—NOTES. , TORONTO, Ontario, Aug. 17.—The sixth an- nual convention of the United Typothetz of America began yesterday. President Shep- pard of Toronto was in the chair, After the president’s annual address Secretary. Wad- dey reported five new organizations had been founded during the year. The executive report referred to the printers’ strike in Pittsburg, which has been running since October. 1891, In which 300 men are out. The offices are now running with non-union, men work- ing ten hoursaday. The strikers are hold- ing out for nine hours.

LI NO He eh inc eR te Sa ea FELL TO-DAY. Oliver Springs Stockade in the Hands of the Miners. OE Militia Sent to the Scene Surrender to the Mountaineers. ANARCHY NOW RULES IN THE COAL RE- GIONS OF TENNESSEE, The Guards at the Convicts’ Camp Forced to Capitulate—-An Army of Nearly 2,000 Free Miners Now in the Field— Gov. Buchanan Calling Out All the Available Military Force of the State to Put Down the Revolt. KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 17.—Another con- vict stockade has fallen and for the third time within a weex have the State laws been put at defiance by the free miners of Tennessee. The convict camp at Oliver Springs capitulated to-day and 200 striped laborers are now at Clinton, the county seatof Anderson Coun- ty, uwaiting the orders of the Governor. It isimpossible to get the particulars of tne surrender, asthe wires inall that district are controlled by the miners. The first re- port from Clinton stated that another fight had taken place early this morning and that the guards had been beaten and forced to retreat, but a later dispatch from them states that no battle took place to-day. The ranks of the miners haa been swelled by large accessions from Kentucky and Virginia, and failingto receive aid from the militia, Capt. Ferris, in command of the guards at Oliver, determined to yield rather than run the risk of being blown up by dynamite, which the miners threatened touse. He had but forty men under his command. Until this dis- patch was received at noon to-day Knoxville had been completely cut off from all points in the disturbed district except Harriman Junction. SCENE OF THE CONFLICT. Harriman fs only fifteen miles from the bat- tleflelad of Oliver Springs, but it is difficult to get details oftheevents which are now mak- ing history in East Tennessee. The convict mining canrp,for the possession of which the free laborers of this region were struggling, Is four miles from the little city of Oliver Springs, with which itis connected by tele- phone. From Oliver a telegraph line runs to Harriman along the track of the Walden’s Ridge Railway, which forms a junction with the East Tennessee & Georgia Road at this point. But this line has been destroyed and com- munication by wire interrupted. Reports from the scene come chiefly by messengers. The situation this morning was desperate. The detachment of twenty-six militiamen from Chattanooga reached Harriman at 3 a. m. They failedto reach Oliver Springs. The engineer was afraid topullthem. Passenger trafficonthe road between Harriman and Knoxville has been abandoned. The miners have captured all the road’s engines and torn up the track beyond Coal Creek and Oliver Springs. The soldiers are stillside tracked at the junction. The road between Harriman and the Springs is stillintact, but in the present con- dition of the country it is a matter of life and death to attempt to run a train over it, Knoxville is fifty miles from Harriman, and the line from here there has not been tam- pered with, but all news from the Springs must come by the way ofthe latter place, which has no direct communication with the scene of the conflict. The wires in the nelgh- borhood of Coal Creek and Oliver Springs were again cut this morning. At2 o’clock this morning the operator at the Harriman end ofthe line found that his wire was alive, andthe first message he re- ceived conveyed the information that fully 1,000 men with arms in their hands were on the hills surrounding Ollver Springs, and thatevery preparation bad been made by the forces inside the stockade for a fight. following this came a message thatthe min- ers at Coal Creek and Jellico had taken charge of the Knoxville & Ohio Railroad and are en route to Oliyer Springs to render assistance to their comrades, They had every engine and crew on that Iine and were moving ina body, compelling the trainmen to do their bidding. There were over 5,000 men in the train, Which was pulled by four engines. The next intelligence that Knoxville re- ceived was that contained in the messago from Clinton told in the beginning of this dis- patch. Later in the daya telegram from Harriman announced the arrival there of Maj. Chand- ler of the Knoxvilie militia. He came from the front and confirmed the re- port of the capture of the stockade. The Major estimates the number of miners under arms at 1,700, and says it is absurd toattempt to put down this revolt with the handful of State troops now in the fleld, It is thougbt the Oliver Springs stockade will be burned to-night, and that Coal Creek will be attacked next. A railway official who reached Knoxville this afternoon describes the scenes in the mining regionas a complete reign of an- archy. A mob had complete control of the Knoxville & Ohio road, which runs from here to Jellico, via Clinton, a distanee of sixty-six miles. All trains were Officially annulled, but the miners at Jellico, on the Kentucky border, took possession of three engines and all the coaicars and ran them to Oliver Springs, sixty miles, tothe aldof the miners there. They forced the train men to take the trains through at the point their pistols. More than 1,000 miners had as- sembled at Oliver Springs by dark. ° This official saysthat they increased rapid- ly during the night by men from Harriman and Rockwood. To these were tobe added a thousand to fifteen hundred, who reached there about 2a. m., from the Jellico District. ~-NO LIVES LOST. HARRIMAN JUNCTION, Tenu., Aug. 17—Maj, Chandler, incommand of Knoxville militia, arrived about noon from Oliver Springs on horseback.

The full Getails of yesterday’s fight at the Oliver Springs stockade are not yet known, but a fragmentary description is given by one of the residents of Oliver, who arrived at Harrimen to-day. He says the inrad- ing * army of miners came to the were fully 200 of them. They came from Jellico and Coal-Oreek and had marched across the mountains and through the valley during the night. They made no conceal- ment of their purpose, and after =: short rest in the outskirts of the city, moved forward, not as an ‘‘army with banners,’’ butas men who had under- taken a desperate mission. They soon tra- versed the valley which separates the town from the convict mining camp on the side of a "s ge. Moving up within close rifie range of the stockade a demand was made for its immedi- atesutrender, But the guards within the walls were not taken by surprise. They had an- ticipated au attack and their commander, Warden Farris, did not mean to give up his charge withouta struggle. : The demand to surrender was unheeded. afterwards the mountain side rang with the rifie shots of the besieger echoed back by the Winchesters of the besieged. Fully an hour—from 6 tili6é o’clock—the fir- ing continued. But the fort held out and there were a4 signs of weakening. Then the fusillade ceased and the attacking party withdrew out of range of the stockade marksmen and the leaders held acouncil, It was determined to send for re- inforcements and renew the attack to-day, and in the event of arefusal to surrender,. the stockade and all the company property should be blown up with cynamite. That some of the miners were woun is posi- tively known, whether there were any fatalities cannot yet be learned. . ) From a reliable source it is learned that only two or three men were hurt inthe fight yes- terday. They were J. A. Boss,a guard,a slight wound; Pete Yarnell, guard, hit by a. ball which wus turned by a silver half dollar. J. W. Sailor, the leacdemwof the mob, was shot in the headandisreporteddead. The miners deny thatany of their number was hit ex- cept Sallor. REPORTS AT NASHVILLE. KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 17.—It is reported. here that a desperate fight between the troops and miners took place at Oliver Springs, the former retreating, and are bringing the 200 convicts to this place. Gov. Buchanan has ordered the sheriffs of Knox, Hamilton, Morgan and Anderson counties tosummon assistance and proceed at once to Oliver Springs to protect the prop- i, ege prevent the release of the convicts by the miners. Troops from Chattanooga are side tracked at Harriman, but will start for Oliver Springs as soon as possible. TROOPS ORDERED OUT. | MEMPHIS, Tenn., Aug. 17.—All of the Mem- phis military companies have been ordered by the Governor to the East Tennessee min- ing district. TWELVE REPORTED KILLED. ACCOUNT OF THE CAPTURE OF THE RECEIVED AT NASHVILLE. Oliver Springs was a desperate affair. Seventeen hundred miners attacked the stockade. Thetroops there had been rein- forced. by the military Chattanooga and offered a stubborn re- Sistance. According tothe best information twenty wounded in the engagement. outnumbered, surrendered. They were were marched toward Knoxville. the wires are cut reliable. A mass meeting of miners was held at Coal Creek this morning at which it was re- solved toattack the stockade at that. point Pand drive off § the convicts and soldiers. The Knoxville companies of milltia are stationed at Harrimanand will do anything. A”“report from Chattanooga says that 300 have offered as volunteers and will go to Coal Creek this afternoon. Threats of lynching Gov. Buchanan if he ventures-in this section are freely made. The contents of the above dispatch lack confirmation and the announcement that twelve men were killed is contradicted by other telegrams received from the coal re- gions. THE RETURNSD CONVICTS, STATE OFFICIALS AND PRISON LABOR LESSEES AT LOGGERHEADS, NASHVILLE, Aug. 17.—There are indications this morning that the State will virtually sur- render to the minersin the coal regions by canceling the contracts with the lessees of convict labor, There seems to be no question that the Ten- nessee Coal, Iron & Rallroad Co. will not only for the return of the convicts, but that they would prefer, under the circumstances,to get ridofthem. This confirms the impression made by Cok Gaines, the general manager, who was quoted yesterday as rsonally op- posed to their being taken back to the mines, The position of the company is, in other words, that wnilethe company tis perfectly willing to go on with its contract and con- tinue to work the convicts,it cannot do thig in the demoralized state of affairs that has come pense and arnoyance not anticipated or covered by tiie contract with the State. a Roun rg od of the Kast Tennessee way Co, says: **At the time that the extra session of the Legislature was convened my com offered to surrender the lease to a commit- tee of the Legisiature, who had calied me: before them. : ustained and ro - = bf wees ‘ “« a Re kr to - ude aati : peewee. de | at o- a a 4 a Be aft ~ thea + ae te 4 "ys ( i & Se "ae" fess ‘S ie , toe Springs about 40’clock in the morning.

Mr. Helm is here to consult with Chief of Police Harrigan in regard to one of the most sensa- tional cases that has ever cOme tothe notice of the inhabitants of his State,which after its transpiring caused suchexcitement that talk of lynching was indulged in by the citizens of Marion Country. On Thursday last Miss Lizzie Steuber, an accomplished young lady, 22 yearsof age,a brunette and the society belle of the little village of Hickory Hill, harnessed up a horse to a road cart about 56 o’clock in the after- noon and started on a visit to her brother- in-law, Sam Greenawalt, in .__— Jef- ferson County, a distance of about six miles. She arrived at the Hickory Hill post -office and aftertakinga letter from the office proceeded on her journey. She was seen by various parties along the road driving slowly in the direction of Mr. Greenawait’s fresidence, and she was last seeh driving along very slowly by Mrs. James Dyal, who resides only one-halfa mile fromthe young lady’s supposed destination. Miss Steuber had not teen heard pistol lady scream in the direction the young woman had gone, Mrs. Dyal thought noth- ing of the matter, but afterwards concluded to send one of her boys to the vicinity from whence the shots emanated to ascertain the trouble.

The brothers started in the bricklaying business in a small way David puttine In property to the value of $125 motherthat hesaw noone, but heard two parties conversing In low tones, and he thought one of the two talked Iike a woman. No further investigation was made until Mr, Greenawalt returned and found the horse and cart standing in front of the gate. Upon inquiry he learned that no one had entered the house and he set about to make an investigation. BULLET HOLES IN THE WAIST. Riding down the road a quarter of a mile from his residence he found Miss Steuber’s | valise inthe middle of the road, together with a white waistshe was wearing when she left home and several locks of her hair. The. } waist contained two holes, as if made by bullets,and had the appearance of having been torn violently off the person whe was wearing it. A search was insti- tuted, but the young lady could not be found. The news spread like wildfire and in two hours an angry mob was scouring the country for her assassin. Suspicion was attached tothe Dyal family and the angry mob hurried to the residence and aftera dil- igent examination concluded that no mem- ber of the family was guilty of the crime. The next visit was made to Jerry Henson, who resides at Orchardville, and who it is said, was a sweetheart of the missing = The only information that he possessed wasthat he had received a ietter from his sweetbearton »onday, tmforming him that if he wanted to see her again he had better callina few days or he would meet with a disappointment.

Every citizen in the county as been playing private detective, and the Officers of the county have made a diligent search, but tono avail, as nobody has been able to account for the girl’s dis- appearance, and her whereabouts is shrowded in mystery. If she was murdered where are her remains? and if she is alive in what secluded spot can she be in hiding? are two questions which her most intimate friends cannot solve. One theory is that she was murdered and her body buried in the woods, while an- other is, that tired of country Iife, she adopted these means to deceive her friends, and is nowin St. Louis or Chicago, and thatis what brings Sheriff Helm tost.

Crawford of the militia received information last night that an attack was to be made on the mill by strikers this morning at dawn. Asaresult several companies were kept under arms all night, and shortly after daylight the entire town was patrolled by strong detachments. No violence was offered by anyone. Al- though there seems to have been no truth in the report, the utmost vigilance is main. tained by the guards. The strikers indig- nantly deny thatan attack on the Carnegles’ property was planned or even thought of. The feeling against the military by the a enmates men is becoming more bitter ally. A quantity ofthe gas was allowed to ac- cumulate in one of the pipes of one of the Bessemer furnaces this morning. A non- union man named Cooper did not Know how todeal with it and caused an explosion. Cooper’s leg was shattered so bacly that amputation was necessary. The damage to the machinery was considerable and wiil take a day or two to repair. Aman givingthe name of George Leh- berger and supposed to be an Anarchist, was arrested in Pittsburg to-day. He wore’ a false beard and was acting in a suspicious manner on Fifth avenue, near Frick’s office. He was searchedand on his person was found the following address: Charles Staddler, Government Orensburg, County Werchneurasky, Bielortsker Iron Works, Russia. An _ “investigation proved that this place is where all the Nihilists in Russia were sent, and the police decided to hold him. Another letter was found addressed to Lehberger at Johnstown, and it was decided to telegraph the police there. Ina short time ananswer came back that the man was wanted at that place ona charge of criminal assault on a 14-year-old girl. There are some circumstances connected with the case which the police are Keeping quiet. by a CARNEGIE’S MONEY HELPING THE STRIKERS.

A vote was taken to-day on the Merchants’ Exchange on a proposed change in the rules. As the rules stood no adjournment could be legally taken, even for a “single day, without giving notice for ten days and taking a vote. Le gy eng have for- merly beentaken without this vote, but it was simply done because no one objected to the viva voce vote. When itiwas proposed to adjourn at 12 o’clock on Satur- days during the months of .July and August this point was brought upand the project was defeated. Asa consequence of this action the following amendment to the rules was recommended by the Board of Di- rectors: The directors shall cause to be provided suitable reading and exchange rooms for meetings of mein- bers, which shall be kept open during usual business hours; they shall have control over such rooms, and may establish and enforce such rulesand regula- tions in regard to the use of the same as may seem roper; provided, however, that from 1]la. m. to eta p.m. on each business day the Exchange shall be open for the general meeting for the transaction of business; provided further that the Kxchange may be closed on any day if so authorized by a vive voce vote ofthe membersat a meeting previously held during a business session of the Exchange. Not much interest was taken in the vote, as it wasa foregone conclusion that it would carry. The polis closed at1o’clock and when the ballots were counted it was found that 205 votes had been cast, of which 184 were for the change and but 21 against. Warshall McDonaild’s Case Continued.

Death of Mrs. Lucy Ball at the City : ‘Hospital. SHE CLAIMED HER HUSBAND HAD IN- FLICTED HER INJURIES. Robert Ball, Who Lived With Her asa : Husband, Denies the Charge and Dr. Marks Says Death May Have Been Due to Natural Causes—Police News in General. Mrs. Lucy Ball, the colored woman received at the City Hospital from 503 South Fourth street last Monday, died there this morning. She told one of the nurses at the hos- pital that she had been struck on the head by her husband the day before, but that wasall that could be gotten outofher. She was unconscious when re- ceived at the hospital and remained in that condition until she died, except for a short period last night. Dr. Chambers is making a post mortem examina- tion of the body forthe Coroner this after- noon and an inquest will be held to-morrow. The police have made no arrestsiyet. Robert Ball, with whom the:'woman had been living, was found by a Poast-DISPATCH reporter and be dented having struck her. He said that she drank very hard and had had one or two attacks of hemor- rhages. She was inthe _ habit, he said, of going out late at night or’ early in the morning to work in certain sporting resorts in the neighbor- hood. On Monday morning at 3 o’clock, he said, she left home and came back at 7:30 very drunk. She complained of her head, he = said, and laid down, only speaking once to tell him where some of her clothes were. He staid with her all day, he said, and she was taken to the City Hospital that night. The house where he thought she might have gone on Monday morning was at Third and Poplar streets, where he claimed she told him she used to work. It was denied at that place, how- ever, that she worked there. Bal] is em- ployed at A. Klauber’s rag paper warehouse at 407 South Fourth street. He stated that he was not married to the woman, although she bore his name, but had lived witb her for the last four years, She had lived with four other men at different times before taking up with him, nhe_ said. One of their names was Jim Williams, he said, and another was Henry. He did not know the name ofathird. George Harrison, ne said, was her last husband. Harrison gave her up, Ball said, and he took her. When she came home Monday wmorn- ing, Ball said, she had her head tied up with her apron. He went with her, he said, to the hospital to which she was taken in an ambulance,and kissed her good-by. The reporter experi- enced no difficulty in finding Ball to-day, he being found in the alley back of 592 South Fourth street, where he lived, talking to another colored man anda colored woman, Ball claimed to have examined the woman and discovered no marks of violence on her. He also claimed to have been kind to her and when she complained of feeling sick he said he told her to stay in bed and he would cook the breakfast, which he said he did. Dr. Marks said the woman was brought to the hospital at 6:20 o’clock Monday evening unconscious. She did not recover until the following morning and then only for a little while, during which period she said she had been hitontbe head by her husband. She sank into unconsciousness again and died at 3:30 o’clock yesterday after- noon. Dr. Marks said she was suffering from ovarian and kidney troubles, and they might have caused her death, but |}asshe had said she was hit by her husband and had been unconscious for a time before her death he thought it a case for the Coro- ner to investigate. The Brother Married. A warrant for wife abandonment was is- sued this morning against August Mueller, a basket-maker, living at 918 Cass avenue. According to Mrs. : Mueller’s statement, she is a servant girl and was ruined under promise of marriage by Henry Muel- ler, August’s brother.

She alleges he spent $270 on furniture for their new home at i418 North Tenth street and clothing for himself and put the balance, $350, in bank inhis own name.

He received a gashinthe back of his head, but at the City Dispensary it was pronounced only a scalp wound. He was sermt home and his employer notified, THE OLD MAN WAS RIGHT. Loving Fingers Juggled With the Clock in Vain. From the Detroit Free Press The doctor was making the last visit for the night tothe sick man. As he was leaving the room he beckoned to the anxious wife, who was also the sick Man’s nurse, and she stepped outside the room door to hear what he had to say. It was alldone in panto- mime, but the monstrous distorting shadows made by the turned-down light revealed the message tothe sick man as plainly as words could Lave toid it. And a preternatural acuteness of hearing made every word spoken on the outside land- ing as distinct as if uttered In the sick man’s ear. He smiled—obh, sucha wan and weary Smile as he listened, without effort, toa con- versation about himself. This is what they were saying: **He cannot possibly last longer than mid- night. It will be necessary to have your friends with you,’’ the doctor said gently, **but the passing will be painless. Of that l am sure, as he is very weak.’”’ **But, doctor, he cannot, must not die so soon, How can you be sure? I have heard you yourself say that while there Is life there is hope,’’ answered the wife, her voice tear- fuland wavering. ‘*I have not forbidden you to hope,’’ said the doctor, grimly;and with this obscure bit of philosophy he went his way. The wife of the sick man went back to his bedside. She had cried and wiped away her tears, sothat he should not see them. ‘*Try and sleep, dear,’’ she said, laying her hand tenderly onthe wide-open eyes, **the doctor wants youtosleep. He says you will not be Detter until you do.’’ ‘*What else did he say?’’ His voice was quite strong. courage to tell a necessary lie. ‘*He said you would be better to-morrow.’’ ‘*Lena’’—the sick man was speaking with energy now—‘‘l heard what he said. You need not decelve me, dear. Ishall die at midnight. ‘*Oh, David, that was cruel, and itis not true. Why, you look almost well. I will call father and mother to see you. Perhaps they can make you Delieve.’’ Wait, dear, until after midnight. We two will keep the watch together untilthen. You see, I am not afraid, nor must you be, brave little wife,’’ It was a watch of happy dreams for one, of agonized suspense forthe other. Suddenlya thought occurred tothe wife. She had heard of its being done with the besteffect. David was sweetly sleeping, and she would set the clock on, so When he awakened he would know that the fatal hour was tided over. He could see the clock. When he awak- ened it should be 3—that would be past mid- night—and he would take new courage and It gave her ife. She held the striking bell while she turned the hands nolselessiy and he did not waken— not fora half hour afd hestir. Then— ‘*What time is it?’’ he asked, faintly. ‘*It’s just striking 3, dear,’’ answered his wife quickly. He looked surprised. Once, twice, he swept his hand across his face, as if something had come between him and the world about him, Then be sald in a low voice: ‘*It does not matter. I cannot see.’’ One—two—three. ‘**Do you hear that, David?’’ ‘Yes, I hear.’’ ; ‘‘And you know, dearest, that you will live?’’ He faintly pressed her handas it clasped his.

Warner’s campaign, the one idea he has of stand- ing up for Missouri, isthe theory that Missouri’s sturdy adhesion to the party which elected a majority of the members ofthe present Congress keeps investors and immigrants out of the State. One of Maj. Warner’s St. Louis organs thus ex- ‘plains how ‘‘it hurts the State all over the North and West’’ to oppose Prohibition, Plutocracy, Force Bills and McKinley ism: This acts as a sortof a danger flag, and warns would-be investors and settlers to go elsewhere. It must be confessed that through- out the whole country above the old line of Mason and Dixon there is a strong and abid- ing prejudice against States which submit to continual Bourbon domination. Is it worth while to prick such an air- blown. bubble as this? Suppose it is true that Republican ani- mosity has kept Republicans from immi- grating to the Democratic State of Mis- souri, are there not as many Democrats as Republicans in this Union to supply im- migration? Are there nota million more white Democrats than white Republicans? How then could it benefit the State to re- pel the majority and invite and encourage Republican rather than Democratic immi- grants to come hither? If Missouri has kept Republican voters and capitalists away by adhering to Demo- cratic anti-Prohibition government, she has at the same time kept far ahead of any Republican State on this side of the Mis- sisippi in industrial development, popula- tion and wealth. So it is plain that she has lost nothing by her politics, and can- her faith she can thrive better on the Re- publican-Prohibition faith of Kansas or lowa. But the theory that Democratic ascend- ency has sent Republicansaway from Mis- souri to settlein Iowa and Kansas is ut- terly refuted by the fact that there are to- day 50,000 more Republican voters in Mis- | sourf than in Iowa, and 60,000 more than in Kansas. Who can tell how many of the Republi- can as well asthe Democratic voters now in Missouri would have gone to lowa and Kansas if those States had been Demo- cratic instead of being ruled by Republican- Prohibition fanatics? Why did the largest commercial centers of Kansas trade grow on Missouri instead of Kansas soil¥ Of the Republican Germans who came to | Missouri and built up $30,000,000 worth of breweries, what ome can be induced to move himself or his business plant to Kan- sas or lowa on accountof his preference for Republican rule? Last, butnot least, why did Maj. War- ner emigrate from Kansas to Missouri after giving the former State a thorough trial? The fair inference is that with all its faults, he found nothing in Democratic rule half so offensive to him as the kind of Republican rule he escaped from when he left Kansas. ,- ~ mal Ww THE NORTHWEST SITUATION. Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa were Vemocratic States before the war. On the economic and constitutional ques- tions of ante-bellum days they stood firm- ly with the Democracy fora revenue tariff — —— and an economical, just administration of : the government with equality for alland | special favors for none. Their industrial interests flourished under the low Walker tariff, and their sturdy farmers held to the sound doctrines of the Democratic fathers. On the questions of the extension of slavery and the preservation of the Union, which led to the war, they affiliated with | the Republican party, to which the task of winning the anti-slavery and Union battle fell. They became Republicans on war issues. Minnesota, Kansas and Nebraska became States when the war issues were uppermost in the country. They were settled by the same sort of people with the same senti- ments and sympathies as their sister States of the Northwest, and took their places at once in the Republican ranks. They, too, were Republican for the purposes of the war. ° Since the war the Republican party has lived in these States on the strong hold that war issues and passions gave it upon their people. But with the death of these issues and the gradual extinction of its passions great changes have taken place. The Republican party has changed, Under the control of a powerful plutocracy, built up by war taxation agd discriminating legislation, it has departed wholly from the simple and just tenets of Democracy. Its leaders and beneficiaries have appealed to past issues and feelings and have used false promises to maintain its power and retain their spoils. But signs are plentiful that the point of endurance has been reached. The Re- publicans of the Northwest have awakened to the true situation. They realize that the interests in control of Republicanism to-day are inimical to their interests. They tind no hope of relief from burden- some taxation and unjust legislation in the Republican party. Having repudiated its principles and policy they are ready to repudiate its organization. This readi- ness has been shown not, only in State elections but in the Congressional elec- tions of 1890, which marked the beginning of a revolution. Economic and constitutional issues are up .for settlement this year and on these issues the vast majority of the people of the ae ‘ 4 ee ae | " 5 ee ni 2 Ne eee Oe 4 ae = ae $ a? eee re Ti ae AG ge TO > ae ae * v : =_—- ~ ne 2M re " am, oar ae , Northwest-are opposed tothe Republican ‘party. In the Northwest States formerly Democratic this opposition takes the form, for the most part, of a return to the Demo- ‘cratic party. In the others the reform Re- publicans are affiliating with the third party. In both forms of opposition lies the brighest hope for Democratic victory in the coming struggie. It is to realize this hope that the WorLD inaugurated the Western campaign fund to carry On an aggressive campaign of educa- tion.

TENNESSED is again disgraced by lawless bloodletting in the mining districts; There | has been ample time since the first out- break two years ago to settle the convict labor question witbout loss of money or dignity. The Legislature criminally neg- lected its duty when called together for the express purpose of repealing the un- righteous law which has deprived thou- sands of honest toilers of their means of livelihood and driven them in despair into open rebellion. The only beneficiaries of the convict labor system are the coal com- panies. Thelease money due the State is not paid and the cost of putting down in- | surrection is much heavier than the most | that could be got out of the leases at the best.

JOHN G. PRATHER. BY THE PEOPLE THE WESTERN DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN WILL BB RAISED. New YORK, Aug. 16.—The following letter inclosing his check for $1,000 was received at the office of the New York Wortup’s Western Democratic Campaign Fund from Mr. W. C. Whitney: To the Editor of the World: Isena you herewith a small subscription to your Western Campaign Fund, Your effort originates,as landerstand it, in the idea that the field is much _Drceader than it has heretofore been; that there are several doubtful States among those that have been Republican hitherto. The demand for campaign FUND | literature and the information received at National _ headquarters indicate that thisis probably a correct who have been! view. Isee no objection but much in favor of a vol- unteer effort being made for these States. The na- tional Committee wili necessarily give its atten- tion mainly to the old battle ground with every prospect, as itnow appears, of a favorable result. | The flel! is wide and I see no reason why we shoutd not welcome all who choose to unite inthe work. Inclosed is my check for $1,000. Yours, Wm. C. WutltTnNry. Another subscription of $1,000 was received from James Smith of Newark, N.J., with the following: To the Editor of the New York World: I consider your proposed Western Democratic | Campaign fund not only right in theory, but good, practical politics, and earnestiy desiring as I do the election of Cleveland and Stevenson, I gladly avail myself of the opportunity to subscribe. Ineclosed please find my check for $1,000. Very truly yours, Newark, N. J., Aug. 16. JAMES SMITH. Editorially the WORLD to-day says: **The Western Democratic campaign fund isa relief fund offered by the East to meet the situationin the West. Ordinarily the Democracy of the west would not need help ofany kind In fighting its political battles. Ordinarialy the Wild West fs self-sufficient as itis always self-reliant. But in this cam- paign the Western Democrats need assist- ance because the Republican domination which they are struggling to throw off has impaired their resources. The farmers are the heaviest sufferers fromthe class legisla- tion against which they have risen in revolt. lf this were not true there would have been no revoltand these traditional Republican strongholds would not now be debatable ground, A Democratic victory in these States is possible now because unjust and iniquituous legisiation has im- posed upon their vast agricultural interests. Thatis the reason whythey need help and why it is the duty of the East to come to their aid. It is our privilege to see that inthe brave and unequal contest in which they are sidered it his duty to vote according to his | and that he owed no slavish | the sidewalk near my residence, 1610 Elitott | _BURGLARS entered a yary on Chou n hth str t iSaneiantiagee booty ry enlisted they shall not’ fail for lack of the means needed forlegitimate campaign pur- poses. Itisa good work in which every one should lend assistance gladly according to his ability. The beginning bears promise of ultimate success, but time is precious. ‘The time tosubscribe isnow. Wil you help? The Western Democratic Campaign Fund passed the $14,000 mark yesterday, with over $600 to spare. Two checks of $1,000 each came from Wm. C. Whitney of this State, and James Smith, Jr., the Democratic leader of New Jersey. The remainder represented over three hun:ired subscribers, allof which is very encouraging. Itis only a begining. It will take a deal of money to do all the good that can be done in the great Western States, _Every believer in Democracy and tariff re- form should have a part in the work which must be done to make success certain. The effect of-a one dollar subscription now ts equal to that of one ten times as large later, Be as promptand generous as your means will permit. A WESTERN HEADQUARTERS. The pian fora Western sub-committee with headquarters at Chicago will be presented to the Democratic National Committee to- day. The plan has the indorsement of Mr. Cleve- land and the approval of the most sagacious and earnest Democrats at the West. : It should be adopted. A national campaign is too big and too complicated an enterprise to be conaucted properly from the Eastern seaboard. The need of separated but co- ordinated effort is especially apparent in the West, the new seat of em- pire in and the region most prom- sing for Democratic gains. The campaign in the West should be conducted by Western men from Western headquarters by Western methods. That way victory lies. The only objection raised to this plan has been that it would cost anextra expenditure of money. But the WorRLD’s movement for a Western Democratic campaign fund, which was or- ganized to succeed and is already succeed- ing, will so supplement the money which Western tnterest and Western pride will con- tribute as will supply all the funds that will be required. The surest way to win the West is to force the fighting at short range. Federal Court Notes. This morning Jas, H. Overstreet, @ negro boy 18 years ot age, charged with robbing the mail of Dr. E.

In the early forenoon i was not definitely known whether or not he would report during the day, although the announce- ment had been made that it was his intention to do so. By 10 o’clock the Mayor’s vce 0 Sat oo oe thering of ewa or his representatives, and Sergt. McGrew was busy attending to cases that came within his province. Shortly before 11 Secretary Brennan appeared at his post, and to the first inquiry addressed to him he replied: ‘*Do you want to see the Mayor? ep right into his office. He’s there now.’’ From that time forward there was quite a steady stream of visitors to the Mayor’s of- fice. During the forenoon a Post-DIsPaATOH reporter was among the callers and was given a brief interview with the returned executive, Mayor Noonan was engax«ed in’ tackling the official correspondence awaiting his action, his stenographer, Miss Laura Von der Ahe, being seated opposite him at the long table with a stack of letters before her. The Mayor was not inclined to talk pleading rush of business as his excuse, and after stating that there was nothing of especial news interest coming up immedi- ately following his return, once more re- sumed his dictation of letters to his stenog- rapher. He remained at work throughout the forenoon, and interrupting bis labor to receive the representatives the press or the many politicians who called to see him during that time. The Cut-Stone Contract. The failure of last night’s special session of the Municipal Assembly to takeany action on the contract and bond of the Pickel Stone Co. to supply ornamental stone work for the new City Hall was the topic of interested discas- sion at the City Hall to-day. The Committee on Public Improvements had been unable to report on the matter, pleadin for more time, and adjournment without action was accordingly taken untilto morrow evening at 7 0’clock, when ft is thought the committee will report. Water Commissioner Holman, acting President of the of Public Improvements in the absence of Presi- dent Burnett, this morning said; ‘*The members of the Board of Public Im- movements were called before the Council commilitee yesterday afternoon and supplied that a with of! the informa it possessed bearing on ‘he cut-stone contract. We are ready and willing to go before the committee again if necessary and to do allin our power tosecure action on the contract. I.sincerely hope that at to-morrow night’s meeting the Assembly will take some de- cisive step in the matter, either to approve or reject the contract, so that the board may know what to expect. Headless City Departmente. Department offices in the City Hall are largely headless this week, owing tothe sum- mer vacation season being at its height. Street Commissioner Murphy left thecity last night to join his wife and family at the Northern lake resorts, and Auditor Joe Brown‘ also departed at the same time, City Counselor Marshallis absent, and although Assistant Counselor Macklin is believed have returned to st. Louis this ing he did hot report for leaving the office thereby without an officia head. President Burnet of the Board uf Pub- lic Improvements, being also away, adds to the general official lethargy enveloping the City Hall bullding. Mayor Noonan’s return took the Mayor’s office out ofthe lst of head- less ‘‘bureaux’’ as given above. THE COLORED MASONS, Reports of Several Committees Received —Wilt Probably Adjourn To-Morrow.

Lompon, Aug. 17.—Now that the new Cabi- net has been officially announced the news- papers have promptly taken up the work of criticism and comment. Liberals generally are satisfied and expect much front the aids to the veteran Premier. Tories, however, as might be expected, seize with a rabid eager- ness every point of vantage in dealing with the personnel of the new Cabinet and make the most of their opportunities. The Chronicle thinks that Mr. Gladstone se- lected the members of his Cabinet on the theatrical star company system. It says: **Forces of genius are with difficulty discern- ible, but they are sound and faithful men who will stick to business and to the leader in sunshine and perhaps form as good a Ministry asthe Premier, whois himself a Ministry of all fhe talents, could wish for while he has to be dependent upon a vacillating electorate and a heterogeneous majority.’’ The Chron- icle complains of the giving of a seat in the Oabinet to Arnold Morley when imperial in- terests represented by the Ministry of Agri- culture are left out. \Iitthinks Mr. Buxton equally as worthy of office as Mr. Asquith and Mr. Acland. The News says: ‘‘We consider it immaterial who the Viceroy of Ireland is just now, as long as Mr. Morley has the practical conduct , of the government of Ireland, but it ts satis- factory to knowthat Baron Houghton Is re- garded as a man of. great promise and as likely to go far in a-career of statesmanship. The new government,so far as it has been ar. ranged, hasa good deal of youth about it. Messrs. Asquith, Acland and Arnold Morley are examples of rapid but well-deserved ele. vation. The heaviest work will fall upon Mr. Gladstone, Lord Spencer, Sir William Har- court and John Morley, as the inner council for drafting the home rule bill. It can hard- ly be said that the new Cabinet Is not a duly representative one, nor can the old com- pilaint be made that the peers have it all their Own way. The Freéman’s Journal (Dublin) in an edito- rialon the new Goveinment says: ‘‘If there is substance inthe modern theory of hered- ity, Baron Houghton is likely to bea ju stly popular Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. His father was a gentleman and a scholar of win- ning personal courtesy, with deep sympathy for Ireland’s national aspirations. Theson is said to be active, distinguished and popu- lar in his own country, endowed with political ambition and ability and with Wealth and personal accomplishments will, enable him to fill the position with dignity and success. But unquestionadly the chief lesson of the ap- pofntment of Baron Houghton as Viceroy, without a seat inthe Cabinet, is that John Morley will take the administration of Ire- land completely into his own hands. We trust and Delleve that his administration will be thorough. Hitherto a change of Govern- ment has but slightly changed the adminis- tration of Ireland, This, the first Govern- ment ever elected with a distinct mandateto do full justice to Irish opinion, means a revo- lution in Castle methods.’’ The Times says: ‘‘Itis not without signifi- cance that Sir O, George Trevelyan’s promo- tion moves like his political professions, ina circle. Baron Houghton is a surprise, but he possesses important qualifications for the post, and In spite ofthe obvious disadvan- tage which bespeaks his sympathy there is every reason to believe that he will prove as eMicient a representative of the sovereign as that mongrel, a home rule Viceroy, can oObe.« Taken as a whole, the Ministry can scarcely be expectei to display, with one or two exceptions, that In- dependence of thougnt which was formerly supposed to be an honorable distinction of Liberal administrations. It approaches closely to Mr. Gladstone’s idea of himself as the Government and his colleagues as chief clerks, which he was unable to realize when te had independent colleagues like Lord Hartington, John Bright and Joseph Cham- Derlain. Putting Lord Rosebery aside, the Cabinet is not likely to have much influence on Mr. Gladstone’s policy.’’ The Standard thinks Baron Houghton old enough to have given some evidence of the qualities essential toa statesman. It proph- estes that the new Government will fall in the trial. Lord Rosebery’s appointment, it says,is evidence of the conservatism with which his more advanced admirers have often eredited Mr. Gladstone, and is a warrant for predicting Mr. Gladstone’s bark will prove worse than his bite. The resolutions adopted at the meeting of Irish societies held at Ogden Grove near Chicago on Monday last are being used by the Unionists to embarrass the Liberals. The Times says that one of the principai problems of the separatists is the treatmeut of so- Called political prisoners. It 1s probable, the Times adds, that the Cclericals, including Messrs. Dillon and Davitt, would. readily acquiesce in a_ post- ponement of the subject did the decision rest with them, but the feeling in patriotic circles on. both sides of the Atlantic istoo strong, This feeling affords the Parnellites a danger- ous instrament with which they will keep prodding the Clericals. The Times regards the meeting at Ogden Grove as proof that dynamiting Is still alive. It concludes: Among the convicts now in allare men who were dispatched to Great ritain by O’Donnovan Rossa himself since his re‘ease. Are they to be sent back to enlist fresh recruits who will be hailed as heroes in America? BEHRING SKA ARBITRATION. OTTAWA, Ont., Aug. 16.—Hon. Cc.

A park is to be laid out half between the two towns and made a meeting point for cars.

THE STEERING GEAR BROKE WHILE SHOOTING CEDAR RAPIDS. Bun Hard Aground on an Island—Oool- ness and Bravery of the French-Oana- dian Pilot Alone Prevented a Greater Disaster—Thrilling Expsriences of Pas- sengers—Heroism Recognized. MONTREAL, Aug. 17.—The passengers of the Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Co.’s new steamer Columbian, which ran aground in the Cedar Rapids yesterday afternoon, reached the city later in the day, and relate & thrilling story of their experiences. The Columbian, which was on her way from Kingston to Montreal, had about 200 Ameri- can tourists on board. Everything went well until the steamer struck Cedar Rapids. When about half way through the rapids the Chains connecting with the steam steering gear suddenly broke. Pilot Onlette at once connected the hand steer- ing gear, but to his consternation that also broke. The boat was darting down the rapids at the rate of between fifteen and twenty miles an hour, but Oulette ordered allsteamon. This was done to keep the steamer from going broad ide onto the current and rolling over. Under the impetus the Columbian made with the*rapidity of a railroad train straight toward a little island in the rapids, known as Crane Island. Nota passenger on board knew what had occurred, None realized how close they were to eter- nity. Indeed, most of them thought that it was part of the programme to take them 50 Close to the island and that before reaching it the steersman would sheer the boat off and she would continue on her way down the boiling rapids. Suddenly a crunching sound Was heara as the keel of the steamer grated along the rocks. The Columbian had gone ashore in the center ofthe danger- ous rapids. The terrific current, running like a mill sluice, caught the sternand swung the vessel broadside to the island. If she had not been hard aground the current would bave carried her off the island and swept her helplessly down the rapids. When the passengers realized the situation great anxiety was felt to reach the land, as it was feared that the steamer might at any moment be carriéd down by the current. A rope bridge tothe isiand was at first sug- gested, but finally a temporary bridge was made by cutting down two trees. Hawsers were thrown out to the shore and the Columbian was held safe in her perilous position. About one-half of the passengers went ashore by the bridge. There were three islands to be crossed before they .could reuch the mainland. Between two of the islands the pative boatmen trans- ferred the passengers and the trip was,an experience that few of them will ever forget.

When we noticed thesteamer bearing down upon the island upon which wewere wrecked it seemed as though tie printed descriptions were perfectiy true, but in an tnstant the sound of the bottom crunching upon the rocks, the sightofthe bowspritin among the tree topson the shore and the sudden stoppage of the vessel at once produced general alarm among the passengers. Fortunately it was only momentary, asthe shore bad a reassuring effect. Before the excitement had subsided a French-Canadian, a perfect giant in build,and a companion standing on the shore were waiting to catchtheline thrown from the steamer and makea rope bridge upon which the gangways were thrown out. he crew immediately ran for the shore with their axes and cut a passage throngh the for- estto the shore, where small boats could reach and carry us offinsafety. They then felled two large pine trees about eighty feet long, which were stripped of their branches and thrown across the stream from the shore tothe steamer, upon which a permanent bridge was erected. ‘*In the midst of all the excitement the big French-Canadian by his strength and activ- ity elicited many expressions of admiration. If our experience had ended there nothing bat praise could be saidof him and his com- anions, who came thronging to the islandin heir small boats, shooting the turbulent waters with inimitable skill.

On one occasion when a boatload of thirty peo- le were Struggiing in the stream, these men umped from their boatinto the swift cur- rent flowing up their waists, and holding the boat demanded thateach passenger pay $1 before they would put them ashore.’’ W. Dissauer of New York, anotherof the ssengers, was loud in his praises of Sauve, the leader of the French-Canadian rescuers. He said that this man proved himself to be a marvel of muscular strength and practical engineering skill. ‘‘Under his leadership the other men built the bridge from the boat to shore as wellas any trained body of men could have done it.

AN EXCITING CHASE. Frank Mack Captured After Several Shots Had Been Fired at Him. Frank, alias ‘‘Dick,’’ Mack was arrested by Detectives Allender, Smith and Schoppe last evening after an exciting experience. The police were requested by the Milwaukee authorities a few days ago to catch Mack, who was charged with the theft of a drove of horses in that city. He had been a horse- trader, and the alleged stolen animals were intrusted to him, it was claimed by the au- thorities. Detectives Allender and Smith located a man at No. 2312 Chestnut street who tallied with the description of Mack, except that he had black instead of sandy hajr and mustache. But the police discovered that the man’s hair was dyed and decided to arrest him, Allen- der and Smith went up stairs to his room last evening and under pretense of painful suf- fering Mack made his way to the window and leaped out into the ne dey» Allender and Smith fired at him and he fell with the ex- clamation that he was shot. When they reached the yard they saw him dash out of the alley. Chase was given and many shots were fired at him, but Mack continued to run westward through the alley. At Jefferson avenue and Eugenia street Detective Schoppe, who had heard the shots and saw the fleeing man, drew his re- volver, but Mack struck him and entered an- other alley. Schoppe joined in the chase and fired a shot at Mack, who fell to the ground with cries that he was shot. He was taken tothe Four Courts and stripped, but no evidence of any wounds, was found upon him. He was locked up and the Milwaukee authorities notified. He admits that he was @ Milwaukee stock-dealer and came here three weeks ago. A Notable Success. Mr. Leland Miller, the dispensing chemist, is highly gratified with the reception St. Louis people. have given his beautiful establish- ment at Locug and Sixth streets. He has been obliged already to duplicate orders for many lines of goods, notably Roger & Gallets’ célebrated perfumes, which are the favorites ofthe New York and Paris elite.

Victory Means a Comfortable Home and a Well-to-Do Wife—Something About the Brooklyn Amateur and His Work— Prot. Robinson Analyzes Corbostt’s Blows—General Sporting News. About little Jack Skelly, the amateur cham.- pion feather-weight, who is matched to meet George Dixon at New Orleans, very little is known out West. In New York amateur box- ing circles he was easily the Champion and always bore first honors inhis class. This is his first professional fightof any impor- tance, and some pugilistic writers of note have questioned his backers’ wisdom in put- ting him ap against the champion, His admirers in New York and Srooklyn and they area legion have the greatest. con- Hdencein him. Mostofthem are men who have seen Dixon and are thoroughly familar with his worth yet they are willing to pin their faith on Skelly. Thelrargument is thata really good man will Come to the front ata jumpas Suilivan did in his fight “gvith Ryan and Fitzsimmons ip his encounter with Dempsey. Sporting men and pugilistic authorities who have seen Skelly at work since his ad- vent South have changed their opinion about the walkover conceded to Dixon when the match was first made. Prof. Robinson, who has been working with him, says: ‘‘He is muchcleverer than any body ever knew or any body hereever gave him credit for. He isa splendid general,a good two handed boxer and a hard hitter. crowded doesn’t get rattled but maps out his plans. Hisstyle is very similar to Cor- bett’s. Heisa good feinter, draws his op- ponent out and is a thinking fighter. **He has about an inch advantage over Dixon in both height and reach and will weigh about 120 pounds when he enters the ring.’’ Everyone knows George Dixon’s hurricane methods. Skelly is a nervous fighter, pan- , ther-like in his movements and full of fight. | The spectators at the Olympic Club will wit- ness a Whirlwind scrap on the opening night. Skelly thinks so himself, and anticipates tne mill. Inalettertoafriend hesays: ‘‘I see that Tom O’Rourke ‘expects to win in less than elevenrounds.’ Weil, what do you say to the factthatI expectto be declared the winner in iessthanthattime? It will be a short fight, and the club will see some of the both of us are quick and know what to do,’’ One thing certain the ‘*‘Boston boy’’ get his hardest battle from the ‘‘Brooklyn Amateur.’’ Skelly has moreand divers incentives to of his store, as to the reasonable prices at which he offers his goods, combined with the most courteous attention. His attractive soda fountain is busy supply- ing the most delicious drinks, of which mint phosphate and peach ice cream have made pronounced hits, and many soda parties are to be found enjoying these beverages every evening. Fromthe numberof ladies who visit his place every day it is quite evident that they appreciate the fact that the drug store at Locust and sixth streets isa most attractive place to slop.

There’s no man Hy- ing who hits just the way Jim Corbett does, and few, ifany, whocan makea biow tell as he can, and this accounts tor the fact that many have thought his best knock-outs put up jobs, because lis man seemedto give up too easily.

At the end of the fourth Mr. Von der Ahe’s nervousness superinduced a spell of manage- erial officiousness and Hawke was taken out to give place to [Breitenstein, who was pounded viciously. The slashing stickwork, fearless base-running and sharp flelding of the Brooklyns was in markeb contrast to the listless playing of the home team. An tncident occurred in the eighth inning, which showed a distressing lack of headwork and tactical Knowledge on the part of the Browns. Griffin wus on third base, Cor- coran on second, Both were taking ground. Werden threw wild to third to head off Griffin and the ball rolled to the grand- stand but bounded back. Griffin started for home but, seelng Crooks had recovered the ball, turned back. When he reached the bag he found Corcoran on it. He shoved him back and started him for second. Crooks came upand touched Griffin, but foolishly threw to second to head off Corcoran. ‘Then Griffin started for home and Glasscock re- peated Crooks’ foolishness by throwing to Buckley. GriffiN was put out ina run up, but Corcoran in the meanwhile had reached third base. If Crooks and Glasscock had kept their wits they would have known that both men were out—Griffin on Crooks’ touch and Coreoran for running back tosecond after | touching third, which was running out of | line.
