The doorkeepers did not intend to offer anvthine like a slicht to the sons of the

martyred President, and perhaps really did not know them, but they had been so

schooled in the art of shutting out officeseekeia and others who make life miserable for the President that they turned the

young visitors away. President Cleveland afterward heard of the matter and expressed his disappointment because he did

is absolutely necessary to prevent "ruinous competition," etc. is urged by its projectors, and seems to havo mado a profound impression upon tho minds of tho ranch-owners.

The prospect is that the scheme will be con

summated, and another colossal monopoly created, to levy tribute on the American people.

to tne ecanoid. f any l.ouo people had collected tliero, and an immense crowd followed Leggett and his guards from the town. Dozens of men and boys had climbed up into the trees to get a better view. Hundreds more swarmed over the carts, stand ng up on the wheels, scats, anywheie

'and everywhere that a loot bout ottered. THE BLACK CAP. The jesting lulled as tho prisoner ascended the scaffold, but still a low buzz of excited comment arose from the throng. After a few minutes of prayer and a short confession from the murderer the sheriff slipped the noose over Leggett's head, carefully tightened the rope around bis neck, and adjusted the knot. Then the black cap was put on and pulled down over the prisoner's face. He had walked up on tbe gallo'.vs with a firm step, and showed little sign of nervousness in his voice as he oang and prayed. He did not falter when placed on tbe fatal trap, and held his hands quietly behind his back to have them tied together. His ankles were next bound tightly with a stout rope. Mr." Clifton was in his bed in Savannah when he received a telegram from Clovernor Gordon firanting a respite. When fie attorney left the train at Johnston's station, on Ihe Savannah, Florida and Western Kailway, he had forty-five miles to drive through a country not noted for its good roads. The breaking of a trace or an axle or anything happening to either of the horses, or any one of a hundred accidents, was liable to" delay him and prevent his reaching Riedsville before the trap was sprung. While Leggett was watching through his cell window the first gleams of dawn bis faithful lawyer was urging a switt pair of horses across the country at a gait that covered them with foam. The hours sped by with equal rapidity to the prisoner and to the man who was hastening to eave his life. IS TISIE. The Sheriff bed just turned to step down

off the scaffold, prcparulory.to cutting the rope which held the trap in tho floor, when Mr. Clifton pushed his way into tho crowd and shouted: "Mr. Sheriff, I have hero a message

from Gov. Gordon, directed to you. "Come this way and let mo see it immediately," answeied back tho Sheriff. For a moment not a whisper was uttered. Even- one held his breath. The crowd

divided and made way for the lawyer to

pass to the foot of the gallows. The Sheriff

glanced nastily at rue icjegruiu, uuu ui ironed the hatchet which he held in his hand.

"Go up on the scaffold, Clifton, and

read to us!" cried a thousand voicos. Tatnall is the attorney's native county. Everybody down there knows him, and there was not a man in the crowd who did not recognize his tall, broad form as he elbowed his way to the Sheriff. Many a time in his life had the lawyer heard the cry, "Take the stage," but never before under such circumstances. SIB. CLIFTON EXPLAINS. Taking ex-Senator Muttox by the arm, Mr. ( lif ton stepped briskly upon the platform, and without waiting for Leggett to be unbound read the dispatch from Governor Gordon granting u respite for thirtv days. "Tuis is anthentio," the speaker added, and he read another telegram addressed to himself, to the effeot that a reprieve had been granted. He then read a third dispatch, inquiring if the first and second had been received. The telegrams had a magical effeot upon the crowd. They yelled and shouted for Gordon and Clifton and pressed up close to the scaffold to congratulate him. Leggett stood at first as though paralyzed, being unable to believe what his ears heard. Then when it dawnod upon him that he was not to die, ho made frantic efforts to be released. The cap and noose were quickly removed, aud he fell down on his kuees and poured out thanks to God and his attorney. His bonds wero cut aud he was led away, declaring that he loved bis lawyer more than any one in the world. The scene was one not witnessed twice in a lifetime, except in the last act of some dramas on the mimic strage where a courier rushes on breathless from the wings and bands the heavy man in the plav a pardon for the hero. Tbe crowd was disappointed, but it seemed perfectly well satisfied that the affair had taken the turn it did. Mr. Clifton was a sort of hero, and in less than an hour petitions w re being signed asking the Governor to commute Leggett's sentence to imprisonment for life.

The Henry (ieorge wing of the Labor party will hold a contention in Cincinnati on tho some day. South Carolina has 'JO mills, 4,600 looms, and 230,0(10 Kpindles. The next convention of the Ciearmnkers' International Union will be held at New York. The labor limitations in Great Britain are assuming larger dimensions, particularly in mining, iron-working, and in the engineering trades. The coal miners in Northumbeiiaud have been on strike several months for 1"2A por cent, advance. The equivalent of $150,1 00 has been expended in benefits npou tbe membership. Never before has there been so much agitation among British workmen of all crafts with reference to emigration. Tne leading officers of the Farmers' National Alliance are in correspondence with the leaders of the labor political movement. Several of the Western barbed wire fence manufacturer are having a hard time of it. Two or three have failed, and seven or eight are in a tight place. Manufacturing eupeity has been too greatly extended. The manufacturer!) of special machinery in several of the larger machinery centers, such as Providence in the East and Chicago iu the Wei-t, are preparing to increase their shop capacity. A Pittsburg electrician has adopted the half -holiday on Saturday, and will erect baths iu his works for the use of employes, and will fit up a large library for evening reading.

Some iron journals are talking about the approach of overproduction. They point out that tbe nail-making cupacity is far in excess of the demand. Two or three cooperage journals speak rather unfavorably concerning the prospects for coopeis. Several mechanical journals predict that skillful mechanical labor will be much scarcer during the next twelvemonths than it has been. A good many New England woolen-mills

have been flooded with high water. Some Eastern textile-mills are running three to four hours overtime. New yam-mills are beiug built at Fall Biver. A number of small strikes ore constantly occurring

among the spinners and weavers of the

THE FOURTH OP JULY.

General Master Workman PowJerly's

Timely Letter to the Knights of Labor,

Labor and Industrial Notes. Tho industrial developments in Northern Alabama, if written down, would read more like a Jules Vorno novel than like facts. Advances of wages have been made in quite a number of small shops and factories throughout the Stato of Now ork. The Texas Stato Farmers' Alliance Cot--ton Congress has just appropriated $500,000 io build a large cotton factory at Waco. The richest lead discovery of moderu times, so goes the story, has been made iu Franklin County, Missouri. The solid vein is eiht f ect'hich aud six feet broad. In San Antonio, Texas, there are seven assemblies of Knights. Iu Winnipeg, Alan., there are six, and two or three moro are forming. In tho State ot Maryland there are 161 assemblies in good standing. At liordentown, N. J., one assembly has named itself tho Bonaparte. At Denver, Co!., the other day 3,000 persons listened to Mr. l'owderly, and on the stage wore the Governor of the State, the Mayor of the city, and the Catholic Bishop ot the diocese. At Omaha Mr. l'owderly declared that he would never again hold office as (ieneral Master Workman. A great many Knights aro aspiring to the position at tho head of tho order, in anticipation of tho vacancy to be made. Tho Missouri Synod of tho Lutheran Church warned its members against joining the Knights. The Knights in Tennessoo are taking active steps to form a Labor party, and Richard Treveliok has been engaged to stump the Stato. Josso Harper and some other Labor leaders havo been working Kansas.

To tbe Order wherever found, Greeting : For several vears tho nract.ee of ho'ding

dumonstrat ons and celebrations on the Fourth

ol Jnlv has been dvina out. Tho old aud the

middle-aged are forgetting that on the fourth dav of Julv. 177l. a nation was born and a gov

ernment was inaugurated which differed from the governments and nations of the onrth, inasmuch as it was to be a nation and a government to be composed of the whole people, to be managed and controlled by tbe whole people ; and the intention was that tnoso who served the people as public officers were to act for the whole

people. Kvi-n while the Declaration of Indenondence

was being rend, tho struggle for liberty for free iiech. tor a free peonle and a free coumry

w as going on. and it continued until liberty throughout the length and breadth of tho United Colonies was an established fact. I- or years the citizens of the republic wore accustomed to meet on each succeeding Fourth of .luly and celebtato tne event which proclaimed a nation born. For years tbe doings of

those who erected the proud structure on which

our Uowrnuieut resw were tola anl retold in song and story. Kik-Ii Fourth of Julv saw the oltizons of the

rapublic gathered together under one and only one lla, on tbe village green or the city

situate, and, auiiu tne ooomiug or cannon ana beating of drums, awakened memories of the "davb that tiied men's souls." Tiie si-e:ikcrof tho day told how the power nf a kin" oave wav at tho command of tho neo-

pie. Or, if no speaker could be had, one of tho ctflohrauts read to the assembled multitude tho Declaration of Independence. Old men among us can recall such incidents as theso, but thoy are fast forgetting how it was dono or what it was for. and tho young people are not taught to respect or celebrate the dav. Such a condition of affairs is wrong and un

patriotic. Thorn Ik one nortion of our country s popula

GOLD AND SILVER.

Precious Metals Mined in the United

States Report of the Director of the Mint,

(Washington special. The report of the Director of the Mint on

the production of tho precious metals in the Dnited Stales for the calendar year 1886 is in press, and will soon be ready for

distribution. The Director estimates the production of tbe United States to have been in 1880: Gold, 35,000,000; silver, $31,000,000. The value of the silver in the above estimate is calculated at the coinage rate of silver in United States silver dollars namely, $1.2029 per ounce fine. The production of silver was I 39,'M j,:)12 lino ounces of the commercial vnlne, at the asernge price of silver during the year (namely, about $1 per tine ounce), of $:0,44Ti,:tl2. The production of gold shows an increase over the

prior year 01 ?:t,2(io,otlo. I he production of silver is slightly less than in ltirlo. A tabular statement shows that tbe production of silver in ihe United States has

largely increased from 1880, when it was

$30,200,000, to 51,000,000 in 1886. The

year's production of gold has approximated

the maximum of U.e last seven vears, the product of 1880, which reached '$36,000,000, against 35,000,(100 in 1880. Colorado maintains first rank as the largest producer of the precious metals in the United States, the value of its production of gold and silver having been over $20,000,1)00 during the last year. California yields second place to Montana with a production of nearly $17,000,000, against $10,000,000 by the former. The produotioof Nevada and New Mexico has decreased, while that of the other States has remained almost constant. Texas, for the first time, is added to the list of producing States, with a production of $200,000 in silver. The annual supply of silver from the mines of the world has largely increased in the last fourteen years, the period covered by the marked decline in the market price of silver, and has doubled since 1872; that is, from 02,000,000 in that year to $124,000,000 in 1886. During the calendar year 1886 the changes in the prict of "silver were very marked. Opening Jan. 2, 1886, at 46 15-16 pence per ounce, British standard, the fluctuations were slight until April, when commenced a rapid decline, which continued until July 31, when the price of silver reached 42 pence, remaining at that price until Aug. 10, when an advance took place which continued until Nov. 20, when the price reached 47 pence, but remained at that point only a short time. Tbe closing quotation Dec. 31 was 4U pence. The average price for tho year was 45.374 pence, equivalent to 09.405 cents per ounce fine.

The prico of silver at the present time is

43$ pence per ounce, uiitisu standard, equivalent to 05.6 cents per ounce fine. The value of the gold deposited at the mints of the United States during the cal

endar year 188t was $79,057,818, of which over 21,000,000 consisted of foreign

bullion and over $'j,uuu,uuu roreign com. Tbe deposits and purchases of silver amounted to S3'J,08t,070. The coinage

executed at the mints during the calendar

year consisted of 03,739,966 piecO, of

the face value ot ioi,37o,4ls. ine Camber of silver dollars coined was 31,423,886,

on which the seigniorage was $7,095,361.34. The Director estimates the stock of coin in the United States Jan. 2, 1887, to have been, in round figures, gold, $560,000,000; silver, $304,000,000; total, 954, 000,000. In addition to tb-3 stock of coin, the Gov

ernment owned gold and silver bullion in the mint awaiting coinage of the value of gold, 81,400,000; silver, $7,000,000; total, $88,400,000; a total of metallic stock on

Jan. 1, 1887, of gold. $041,400,000; silver,

S331,8(h,000: total, 'J (3,200,000.

The Director presents official figures to show that of the stock of gold coin estimated to have been in the United States the first of the present year, there was in the Treasury of the t'nited States and in

the national and t-tate banks and in circulation on the Paciric slope $360,000,000,

leaving $2( 0, 0(10,000 in Ihe hands of the

people sou IU luo uuun 3 iuiu Duiaign mow" tutions of the United States east of the Sierra Nevadas (other than national banks

and tho 840 State banks which reported to the Controller of the Currency). The stock and ownership of gold and silver coins in the United States, Jan. 1. 1887, aro given as follows: United States Treasury, $18:;,!Hl,f.l4; national banks, $166.9y3,55l; State and other banks and

private individuals, soul ,lob ,804; total.

THE CROPS.

Bain in Some Localities, bnt Badly Needed

as a Itule Injury from Chinch-Hug. (Chicago special. The following crop summary was com

piled by the Farmers' Review: Owe reports again show that some localities have

been favored with beneficial rains, bnt, as

was the caso at the date of our former re-

port, the majority of the counties

m all of the Western states, ex-

cent perhaps Missouri and Kentucky,

need rain. Dakota is apparently in better condition as regards the crops than any State roporting. Thirteen counties in Illinois report an average condition in winter wheat of 90 per cent. Damage by chinch-bugs is reported in some connties, while rain is needed in others. Ten counties in Indiana report the condition of winter wheat at an average of 85 per cent.

The reports from the State are on the whole

good. The weather in Michigan still continues very dry. Pastures are short from laok of of rain. Twelve counties in Ohio report the average condition of wiuter wheat as low as 66 per rent. Eight counties in Wisconsin reprot an average condition of 85 per cent Rain is badly needed. In Iowa tho average condition of winter and spring wheat is 100 per cent, and prospects aro good. Chinchbags are injuring Ihe wiuter what in many Kansas comities, while others are from the insect. Wheat is iu good condition in Kentucky and r.iiu plentiful. Spring wheat is in very fine condition in Minnesota. In Missouri eleven counties report tbe average condition of winter wheat at 01 per oent. Local rains have fallen iu Nebraska during the past week, and wheat is in a tail condition. The reports from Dakota are highly satisfactory, and prospects for heavy crops nro good. The poreeutages of condition are beginning to show tbo effects of continued dry weather, but local rains have fallen in many districts and conditions may consequently be expected to improve should the rains continue. The hay crop will probably bo light iu most of the Western Btates. In Times of l'eacs. Tho energy of chemists is now being largely directed to the development of improved methods of destruction, and iu addition to tho lately desoribed "bollite" many new ex loaives are under trial. The French "melinite" is among them, and is said to be as much superior to nitro-glyoerine as the latter is to common gunpowder. Its destructive effects are made especially terrible by tbe fact that bombs charged with it do not explode for some little time after penetrating a wall or oilier obstacle. In Germany' a new shell contains two separately harmless substan X which are forco'd together by the g of the bomb, and unite tr rjplosion. A Berlin in entor ' aced an explosive called "rob- ' -which is effective, but is danto handle, and deteriorates.

INDIANA STATE NEW8. -The people of Republican Township,

in the southern part of Jefferson County, are greatly excited over the prospect ot finding gas and oil. Recently au explosion occurred in the bed of a small stream running through the farm of J. Henley, the

report being heard for several miles, and frightened cattle until they ran about like wild. A large opening was made in the

creek bottom, and the strong odor of gas permeated the air. The general supposi

tion is that tho explosion was caused by

natural gas, as shale taken from the same spot several years since was found com

bustible, and it is thought gas and oilcan be found.

-A singular incident is reported from

Roann, Wabnsh County. A lady passenger bound for Detroit boarded a Wabash

and Western passenger train, and, by mis

take, went into the smoker and sat downIn a moment she jumped op exclaiming.

"I am on fire," and the flames were seen

enveloping her body. Several passengers rushed to the rescue and the fire was

smothered, chough the fair passenger was considerably injured. Investigation

showed that her celluloid bustle had ignited from a burins; cigar-stump which had been left on the seat.

Tho Governor is about ready to pro

claim tho laws passed by the last Legislature to be in force, bnt the absence of the

State's financial exhibit from the volume of

laws, as published, has caused him to ask tho Attorney General if that fact rendered the publication illegal. The Attorney General advised him tbat such failure did net

have that effect, as the constitutional provision requiring the publication of the statement was only directory. The essence of the thing to be done was the publication and circulation of tbe laws. Patents have been issued to Indianians as follows: Cline, George J., assignor ot one-half to W. B. Lehman, Goshen, roadcurt; Crossman, John A., and N. C. Bach, assignors to E. C. Atkins & Co., Indianapolis, saw-swaging machine; Hand,Townson, assignor of one-half to O. Hand, Sheibyville, washing-machine; Line, W. F., Andrews, fumigator; McGriff, John N., Anderson, corn-planter; McKinney, Wm. H., Evansville, non-conducting jacket; Wilcox, Charlos D., Indianapolis, boilercleaner. A recent shipment of twenty ions of ore from Warrick County, sent to a Newport, Ky., smelter for test treatment, yielded $255 per ton of bullion in silver and gold. The average assays of the twenty-ton lot run 9.7 ounces in silver per ton; .3 ounces gold; 7 per cent, lead; 70 . per cent, fcilicate; 8 per cent, iron and manganese; 12 per oent lime; value, $18 per ton. It carries almost its own fluxing, and is a desirable smelting ore. ' Near Danville, Hendricks County, the 14-year-old son of Thomas Hewlitt, while attempting to mount a mare hitched to harrow, for the purpose of riding, fell beside the animal and got entangled in the harness. The horse became frightened and dragged the boy a distance of a hundred yards, continually kicking him until be wan -dead. - The State Homoepathie Society in session at Indianapolis, elected the following officers: President, Dr. T. D. Lewis, Evansville; First Vice President; Dr. J. T. Boyd, Indianapolis; Second Vice President, Dr. J. A. Thompson, New Castle; Treasurer, Dr. J. S. Martin, Mnncie; Secretary, Dr. William B. Clark, Indianapolis. The Treasurer of State asked the 'Attorney General if a County Treasurer could levy on notes and money to satisfy m claim for delinquent taxes. The Attorney General's opinion is that no exemption pertains to this class of personal property, -and that a levy for the purpose named can be made on them, The body of Ellas Cutler, ot Ten Haute, was found on the I. A St L. track, badly mangled. There was a report at first that he had been murdered, but investigation indicates that he committed suicide. He was engaged as a wood-chopper. He leaves a wife and three children. Tho case of William Carroll vs. The Ohio and Mississippi Railway, for $10,000 damages for the killing of his brother in the Muscatatuck bridge wreck, near North Vernon, two years ago, on trial at Versailles, has been decided in favor ot the plaintiff in the sum of $1,000 damages. J. M. Trester, a brakeman on the Jeff ersonville, Madison and Indianapolis Railroad, whose home is in North Madison, was probably fatally injured at Sheibyville, while making a coupling, a brake-wheel falling on his head. He was taken to Columbus. John S. Edwards was fatally injured in a runaway accident near Plainvttle. Edwards, his wife and child, started to church in a buggy, and the horse became frightened and unmanageable. Mrs. Edwards aud the child were not dangerously injured, The appraisers appointed to fix a value on the Noble County property, at Albion, from which point it is proposed to remove the county seat to KendaUville, have re
