AEOUKD THE WOULD. IN TELLIGENCE FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD. Trouble Between the Police sad BUr Tour Spmpathlxera mt lndlanapotl Fight with Train Bobber The Argentine Republic BaTotatton Ended. BAN RIOT. - Striken and Policemen Have a Battle. Indianapolis special: The pecial police were in place again at the Big Four shops in Indianapolis, Friday morning and expecting more trouble. Two specials refused to go on duty and turned in their badges. The boiler makers were also at work. When it became known, that the notice were back, the crowd soon gathered. If a guard appeared in front of the lines of cars he was at once assaulted by a snower 01 rocKs ana compelled to retire oyine young men wno sympathized with-the strikers. The first serious outbreak occurred at the Moorefield shops Friday evening when an engine and one coach backed Into the round house for the purpose of taking the non-strikers into the city. Three hundred men and boys gathered in the streets, and when the train started the crowd yelled at the work men and some one threw a stone. In a moment hundreds of atones were thrown against the car. After the train proceeded, a man supposed to be John B. Stokes, a special officer employed by the com pany, stepped to the door of the car and fired into a crowd of school children standing on the sidewalk. They escaped injury but J. B. Pitts a fireman employed by the company who was taking no part in the demonstra tion, was shot and fatally injured. The firing aroused the indignation of the crowd, which immediately opened and about fifty shots were fired at the train, but no one was injured. It is anticipated that when the new men go to the shops they will be fired upou. A Pmvi Peed. Some time ago W. K. Hill and wife, who live atjBmntown, Ohio, separated, he going north to a farm, while she returned to her parents. He retained possession of their only child, a girl, but during his absence her mother took her away. Hill returned the other day, and going to his wife's home, tried to get her to live with him again. She refused and a quarrel resulted, in which his mother-in-law, Mrs. Samuel Blake, took part. Hill finally drew a revolver and shot her, inning her instantly, and then turned his weapon on his wife, the bullet entering her right ear. She fell fatally wounded. fattaUjr Injured. At New Haven, Allen County, Ind., occurred a very bad accident which may result in the death of James Foots, the 13-year-old son of Henry Foote. As' the Wabash switch engine was setting a car onto a side track the bov attempted to cross the track ahead of it and the corner of the tender struck him on the side of the head, causing concussion of the brain. He bled profusely from the right ear and is lying in an unconscious condition. Dr. L. S. Null, the attending physician, says he is in a very critical condition and fears the result will be fatal. Fight With Train Bobber. Essex (Mont.) special: Word has Just reached here that the posse stationed at Java, the second station west of the summit of the Rockies, sighted the train robbers who held up a train in Augusta recently, and at once commanded them to surrender. Upon refusing, the officers opened fire, killing one, wounding two, while the fourth man surrendered. One wounded man took to the hills and the posse is in pursuit. Sandy Hook special: The first of the races between the Valkyrie and Vigilant was easily won by the former, the English yacht. Yet it is possible that the race will be declared off as the weather was anything but suitable, the wind only averaging five miles an hour. The committee of judges will in all probability declare the race off. Arrested a Pirate. Detroit special: Barney Williams, who was arrested a few days ago, has been identified as one of the Mackinac Island pirates by Deputy Sheriff Jacquett. Williams is the man Jacquett captured at the time of the fight with the robbers, but who was recaptured. Seath of Ex-Senator Groome. James B. Groome died suddenly at his home in Baltimore. Mr. Groome was elected Governor of the State by the Democrats in 1873 and stepped from the gubernatorial chair in 1879 to a seat in the United States Senate, where he served one term. Peace at last. The Department of State has a dispatch from Secretary Fishback, now In charge of the legation at Buenos Ayres, stating that the revolution is at an end and peace prevails throughout the country. Shot His Sweetheart and Himself. Oscar Dardell of Jamestown, Boone County. Ind., shot his sweetheart, Miss Tillie Magers, and then blew his own brains out. Indiana's Xew Tax law Works Well. ,i The goods effects of the new Indiana tax law are becoming manifest in State finances, and the Treasurer and Aodltcr ot State report that all Interest charges have been met i mmptly without borrowing money for the purpose since the law went Into effect la 1890. The -Auditor sent a draft for 137,387 to Mew York S3 pay off the interest which falls doe Oct. L Missouri Miners Oat. It Is reported at Kansas City that ,M0 miners la Macon County, Missouri, have quit work and are holding a conference at Ardmore In regard to striking for the old winter scale ot wages, the mine owner having served notice that there would be no advance this year. Forest Fire Rajrtns; in Ohio. . Forest ares raged to an alarming extent near Winchester. Ohio, and In Jefferson Township people fled from their homes, as there was no water to light tha flames. Many farm-booses and barns have been destroyed. There are rumors of loss of Una Given Up for IVoss. The schooner Valkyrie, which sailed from Sydney. M. 8., W., for New York five weeks ago. has been given np for lost. She undoubtedly foundered In the hurricanes 'that prevailed soon after she started out; Captain Gilbert and seven men were aboard of her.

RECOVERY IS SLOW. Bnslneas Advancement In Not as Rapid as Was Helped. R. G. Dun & Ca's Weekly Review of Trade says: A complete statement of failures for the quarter vhlvb closed on Friday Is not possible, but the number tlius far reporti'd is about 4,000, and the npgreuate of liabilities about $160,000,000, greatly surpassing the record of any previous quarter. For tho week the failures have been 329 In the United States, against 177 last year, and in Canada 34, against 31 last year. "Hope deferred," explains tho week in part, and It Is doubtless true that many Indulged In reasonable hopes, but business has not entirely answered expectations. lUany works which have rosnmed operations d not find orders as large or the demand from customers as vigorous as they anticipated, and with some it is a question whether they will not close again. While money on call baa been abundant and cheat), and about $4,500,000 clearing-house certificates have been retired, thore Is perceptible groater caution In making commercial loans at New York and at somo Western points. Confidence, proverbially of slow growth, has been somewhat diminished, In part because advancing exchango suggests the possibility of gold exports. RIO AGAIN FIRED UPON. Failure of Efforts to Save Further Blood, shed In Uracil's Capital. A cable message announces that tho rebel fleet at Rio de Janeiro reopened lire upon the Brazilian capital Sunday morning and that the bombardment was continued throughout the day. Tho same cable announces that though the foreign ministers at Rio. backed up by the commanders of foreign war vessels, have for a long time past done everything possible to avert further hostilities between the insurgent atvl government forces, and in spito of the fact that these friendly efforts have been directed continuously toward both sides in the dispute, a failure to Induce the opposing factions to come to an agreement has resulted in more damage to Bio from the rebel guns and In great loss of life. The message does not give an account of tho damage done by the bombardment, nor does It state how many people were killed ashore or afloat; but It is presumed, from tho fact that the rebels shelled the city all day Sunday, that the loss of life must have been considerable, and that both sides must have suffered.

MUTINY I' KANSAS FRISOX. One of the Guards Badly Hurt The Uprising Qnli'kly Suppressed. A serious mutiny occurred at tho Leavenworth (Eaa) penitentiary tho other day. Prisoners have been escaping frequently. In order to terrorize tho convicts and recapture any that might get away two ferocious bloodhounds were quietly secured This caused the convicts to plan a revolt. A few mornings ago Guard Femes attempted to reprove a convict, when he suddenly turned and knocked him to the floor. At the same time a convict struck another guard down and the revolt became general in that part of the prison. An old cuard, who did not lose his head sounded a general alarm, bringing all the guards, and by a great effort the mutiny was quelled. Guard Femes was severely Injured. Fire Bags Indicted. Fourteen men hare been held by tho Chicago Grand Jury to answer the charge of conspiracy. Two of tbeni must also answer to the chargo of arson. The Grand Jury has ended its work, and in the iinal batch of indictments were true bills for conspiracy against the following: Robert McKnlght, one indictment; David Rosen blatt, one Indictment; F. W. rmitb, Ave indictments; Hcffry Sctanek, fire indictments; TX Brown, three indictments; Charles Kinsman, one indictment; Clarce It Sows, . four indictments; Allen & Peck, four Indictments; Otto Jirsa, one indictment; Paul Lonomeyer, two indictments; George W. McKee, once indictment; Oscar C Churchill, one indictment. Smith anil Jirsa had previously been Indicted for arson. They, in conjunction with tho other twelve, are charged with conspiracy to burn property and defraud Insurance companies. The resula-of such a conspiracy, it is claimed In the bills, was six fires with an aggregate loss of nearly 8100,000, as appeared on the proofs of loss and the swindling of the in surance companies out of about 50.00:1 For the Little Folks. At a special meeting of the World's Fair directors It was decided to admit children under 14 years of age for 10 cents each. At the same time It was ordered that all children under 6 years old shall be admltted free. The resolution providing for these clianges in the rules was introduced by Ties President Feck, and was the cause of considerable discussion and amendment before Its final adoption. Some of the directors were in favor of free admission for the young people when accompanied by adults. Others thought It Inadvisable to make the admissions so low as to involve an unmanageable number of children, endangering their safety and rendering the E.i position liable In case of accMent Finally, a compromise wa agreed upon and the order passed. In all cases tho children to be admitted on the low fee will have to be accompanied by pareuis or other adults who will assume the responsibility for their safe-keeping. Decide It Is Not a Trust. At St Paul the United States Court of Appeals banded down a decision in the case of The United States va The TransMissouri Freight Association, affirming tho decision of the lower court The case is a famous one, having been brought In tho district of Kansas originally under the Eberman anti-trust law. the association being allege! to be a trust and therefore illegal. The lower cout decided in favor of the association, and the Court of Appeals sustains that decision, holding that the association Is not a conspiracy against trade, but for t a benefit thereof. Marched Through the Mod. Irish day at the fair was characterized by the worst possible weather. Ralu fell nearly ail day, and of courso prevented thousands from turning ont But fully tea thousand sons of Erin were In the procession that splashed through the mud at Jsckson Park, and they were headed by Dublin's Lord Mayor and Chicago's Chief Executive. They were watched by fully a hundred thousand people, and, altogether, what the celebration lacked In numbers was atoned for by enthusiasm Many Killed In a Storm. A terrific tornado struck New Orleans late the other night from the northeast It raged all night and a portion of the day, sweeping to the south from along the linn of the Mississippi IiHer through the pariah of Plaqucmlne to tho Gulf. The storm was one of tho worst that ever visited that part of tbe country.

Frightful Loss of I ife on the Wind'Swept Gulf Coast. DAMAGE IS $5,000,000 Villages Swept Away and tha Population Perish. Half Harrowing Reports f the Disaster Received from Survivor, tYlio Are Forced to liury the Dead In Trenches Without Ceremony Dreadful Force of the Wind and Waves that Took Everything Opposing Them Whole Families of lTs Ibrtunates Meet Death in Kacli Other's Arms A Chapter of llorron.. Over 2,000 killed and nearly $5,000,000 of property annihilated is tho record of the great Gulf stenni in Louisiana. Thero has never boen anything approximating it hinee the eountry was settled. More than half the population in tho region -ver which the hurricane swept is denil. Kvevything is wrecked and not a houeo in ten is left standing, while the surviving inhabitants are left iu the nu st destitute condition without- food or oven clothing, for most of them wer in their heds when their houses wore crushed by tho wind or the waves. There have beou several similar disasters on tho coast. At Lost Island, where 2li peo plo lost their lives, anel at Johnston's Bayou the lost numbered 220 mx years ago, but. Monday's disaster far surpassed these ill horror. The weak and ill were all killed, and in the sottlcmonta where the storm was worst not a child survived and very few women. Tho survivors are the young men in the vigor of manhood, Not one of them but h.-is a terrible story to tell: not one but is la;lly bruised and injured. They escaped mainly on raits or logs. Hnating lor twenty to ninety hours in tho water, w ith the wind at 115 mile- an hour. The deaths, so far as reported, and which are confirmed, aggregate more than 2,000, as follows: Chenlere t'ominada 820 Fishermen tit sea 240 liaycu Clealton 40 Oys'er Bayon 28 liavott Cook 87 Fishing settlements at llayon Cook 43 Dinl Island 47 Simon Island 16 liosaiio Island , 20 llszor Island 6 St. Mnlo 26 Adntns Hay Fishing ramps at Daisy l'ostoftice 20 Grand Bayou 20 Grand Prairie 5 Tropical Itcntl JO I'tiftsal'Ontre 40 l'olnt a laliacho 4 lii.rthcly 0 Fort St. l'mlilp 0 Hospital hay 6 Shell h acli 212 lirantlMnuk K lirand isle 100 1'uras point 6 Pleasant point 10 Sixty-Mile point 8 Devil's flat 1 llolivar point ... 3 HamivJnck 2 NlehoVs postofflce 8 rftituitng u Fort Crosses 6 Stock rieths....

Visie 4 M tsstsstppl's Swollen Torrent. The Mississippi rose nine feet, being forced up by tho wind, while the water from the Gulf was driven over tho land to a depth of from two to live feet, Iu this water the people stood for hours, their houses being destroyed, until boats or skiffs could come tei their relief. For a distance of forty miles below Pointe a la Hache, on both sides of the Mississippi, there is not a single house which does not show signs of tho storm, and most of thorn are wholly destroyed or rendered uninhabitable. The crops are a complete loss. The country is doroted mainly to the raising of rice, mangos, and early vegetables. The rico hud been harvested and packed in stacks ready to ne nuiiea. 1 nose were swept away by the storm and the ricod, and the loss is complete. The oranges are stripped fi'om tho trees and have rtilled in the water, in which thov have laid for two days. Tho garden truck is almost completely destroyed. the damage by the storm In Iew Orleans will amount to $370,000. divided as follows: West End, $30,000: other lakeside resorts, 20.uoo; vesselmens lovoe. $20,000; clubhouses and yachts, 825,000; coal barges sunk on river. $18,C00; damage to shipping, 1175,000; damage to fences, troes, yards, etc., $54,0!i0; markot: and other buildings and railroads, $100,000; miscellaneous, $30,000. . Tho storm left Mobile. Ala., almost a perfect wreck. At this lime the dam age can only be conjectured, but, it is sale to estimate it at nearly iN.uuo.utKi. Several deaths are reported. In the district across the river dwolt twentythree families. Only one of these homes can bo seen standing. In tho same region it is certain that 300 or 400 head of cattle havo been lost. Terrible Fatitllty In tho Mnrshel The damage to the Ixniisville and Nashville Hailroad is beyond computation at this time. There are 400 trees across the track between llav Minetto and Dyus Creek, a distance of about ten miles, Xo trams can get any farther south than Hay Minetto. A rowboat trip of the marshes made by an 'Associated Press reporter reveals a tuto of desolation and death that will almost equal that of a month ago at havanr.an and the hea islands. t every point touched houses were completely gone, while tho upper cndV crn shore was swept as if by a western cyclone. From Blakely as far southeast, as reports could to had tho nativos report only deatli. and destruction. Burled (he Deutl In Tranches. When the water receded at Cheniere thero were scores of bodies lying about and already beginning to show siyns of decomposition. Under the circumstances, for the safety of tho rest of the colony, it Ik came ncccnary to take orompt steps to bury those who had Iti-t their lives. There were still manv people who were 'nlive and able-hi died.- and they were immediately organized for a week of duty and charity. There, was 110 timo to build coilins. "if there had been, there were no tools with which to construct them. 110 boards that could be nailed together as receptacles for the bedies lying everywhere: so the living merely hunted up spades and commenced tho task of digging ditches into which to deposit the remains. Vast. Territory 8iruif.vi'iit. These towns and settlements extend along tho Mississippi from Pointe a la Hache. forty-live mile-; below New Orleans, to the titilf 011 Bayou Ihtrataria and the oyst .r reefs between there and the mouth of the MissisrJppi, and on the islands strclehing from the .Missis sippi to the main land at ( heniere ( aniinada, Bay St. Louis and Pearl River, are in Mississippi. The great majority of the poaple are whites, and not over ion are col ored. At, Ch'-nieie Caminada was a large ChinoKV cob my engaged in proparing and exporting shrimp to China. St. Malo was sett'e i by lite Malays, oil fishermen. A majo-iiyof the population in the fi liine town., were ereoleu, Italians, SnaiiiurUa, and so-culled Aus- I

trians or Dalmatians. A large proportion of them were engaged in iishing and owned boats. At the time tho storm visited Chenlere Caminada, 120 fishing vessels were in the Gulf fishing. Not a word has since lieen heard fn m them or their occupants. The news lias come in slowly. The first day following the calamity it was known that the storm had been very destructive in Plaiiemino Parish and the loss of life wus estimated as high as thirty-five. The next day the news came of the destruction of Bayou Cook settlement and tho de;aths were thought to to as many a 250. Afterwards came in quick succession the news of the disasters at Cheniero Caminada, the largest fishing settlement on the Gulf coast, at Grand Isle and other points. These returns swelled the mortality estimate to between l.W'O und 2,000. Tho facts will probably exceed the latter figure when the full rt cord is made up. Tho deaths arc confined to two parishes, Pluquemino and Jeflerson, and are more than one-fourth the total white population. Awful to liehoUI. When tho wind died out tho waves began to decrease in size and the water that had swept ovor the land rollod back again into the Gulf. When daylight broke the picture of desolation was awful to behold. Only here and there stood a house. Everywhere there wore only brick foundations to mark where homes had been. Trees lay prostrate upon the ground Timber was lodged in piles in indiscriminate profusion, where it had been thrust by the mighty rush of tho waters. Ktiin. d chimneys suggested stories of stricken hearths. Furniture, bedding, clotheB. stoves, kitchen utensils and other household goods were scattered in promiscuous confusion wherever the visPri was able to reach. Hoie. there and everywhere were the ghastly faces of corpses turned upward to the peaceful skies, cow bright and beautiful with the mild autumn sun, and bearing no traces of tho fury of tho night. On many of the countenances there were still evidences of the terrible agony suffered lie fore death came to relievo the horrur. Somo had lost their lives in the wreck of their hemes: some had been drowned after escaping from the shells which could not shelter them from the blasts of that frightful gale; some had probably given up their lives in a vain effort to Bave those whom they loved and were dependent upon them for pro tection.

As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant aid harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individual Nine-tenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired digestion. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like Btarved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover.

Ordinary food does not contain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves. For tli is reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied. This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous de-
