THE WEST, Sixteen striking coal miners, who interfered with the working of new in c rt near Pinckneyville, HL, were arrested on a warrant sworn out by the owner of the mine, and fourteen of them lodged in jail in default of bail.

Being refused aid, the women attacked the non-union mih Fr as they were going to work and drove them back. The National Exposition of Railway Appliances at Chicago is the largest industrial exhibition ever witnessed in this country, with the probable exception of thd great Centennial display at Philadelphia. The exhibit of railway appliances is simply enormous. In addition to the gn at Expo ition building, about twelve acres of ground is covered by temporary ouildin s, and every foot of spare is tak<m up by exhibitora The regular exposition which has been given every fall in Chicago, is dwarfed into insignificance hy comparison with, t'his stupendous railway show. Its extent is simply bewildering. More than a thousand firms, companies and individuals are represented in the vast inclosuies. The visiti ris confronted on all sides by every possible combination of mechanical genius as connected with railroading in all its d parturients, forms and ramifications, from its earliest history to the present time. In one of the departments, called the “Old Curiosity Shop?’ the whole histor* of railway i regress is Illustrated, step by step. The first locomotive that ever turned a wheel, built by George Stephenson, which was loaned by England, ana the “Grasshopper,” the firs engine t hat ever ran on the Baltimore an 1 < >iiio road, are among the rare curiosities One of the novelties of the exhibition is a railroad run by e’ectricity, which carries passengers around the extensive building for a nomin d fare. Enormous crowds, representing every section of the world, are visit ng the great exhibit Agent Wilcox of San Carlos, reports to the Interior Department that he refused to admit the party of fourteen Indians from Loco's band to the reservation, and that they are now being cared for by the military. Wilcox says the Indians, finding themselves in danger of capture, offered to surrender, but are still hostile at heart, and their presence on the reservation would tend to alienate the peaceable Indians.... At the ; uu'.al meeting of the slo k oldvrs of the Chi ago, Rock LI mdand Pacific Railway Company held in Chicago, Hugh Riddle declined re-election as President and P. R. Cable, the Vice President and Gener:d Manager of the road, was elected as his successor. A. Kimball was elected Vice President to succeed Mr. Cable.... A train on the Jeffersonville.

The June crop report of the Ohio State Board of Agriculture, based on 1,020 township reports, gives the percentage of wheat, as compared with its condition in 1882, at 52, or ‘.3,250,(D0 bushels, against 45,5* o,< 0• in 1882.

These twelve States last year produced 367,000,000 bushel a The two Barber brothers, who had been engaged ui a number of killings, were taken from the jail at Waverly, lowa, by an orderly mob and hanged. The particulars of the affair are as follows: A large number of persons congregated around the jail at an i early hour in the evenftig, and a mob was , talked of on all sides. At about 9 o’clock a man appeared with a repe, followed by about 2JO people, and demanded the delivery of the two Barbera The Sheriff was obdurate. They then proceeded to the door of the Court House, and smashing it in were soon inside. There were now two doors between the outlaws and the mob. who immediately procured a crowbar and sledge and commenced operations upon the doors, it taking over two hours to get at the Barbers. After breaking the doors down the desperadoes were taken through the hall to the stairs, one of them being dragged part of the way down the long stairway. After getting into the street the Barbers were allowed to make a confession. Bill Barber said he had never killed a man until last fall; that they had been accused of killing seven men in Illinois. He said thL was false. Ike Barber said he had no hand in killing Shepherd last fall; that he had never killed a man nor assisted in a< ing so un il within the past week. The desperadoes appeared to have ulenty ot grit, aithough Bdl shed a few tears. They conversed in a strong voice, and did not exr tet or ask tor sympathy. The leader ot the mob was captured by the Sheriff. The county officers did the best they could to prctect the prisoners, but it was of no avail Some extraordinary time was made in the races at Cleveland. Pilgrim, a horse without a record, trotted the last half of a mile-neat in and Clmgstcme went from the th rd quarter-post to the «ae in 32 seconds. Little Brown Jug paced am le in 2151 i a heavv snow s;orm prevailed in Colorado cn the Bth of June. The mob which lynched the Barber bandits at Wavedy, lowa. was. considering the mission performed, as mildly riotous as any assembly that ever officiated under the auspices of Judge Lynch. Not a shot was , fired, and the crowbars u-ed to force the bars and bolts were unaccompanied bv profimtv. The leaders were men whose relatives ha 1 been killed by the oi t]uw\ and their determ ni:bn was sha el ov about I.OOJ sympathizers.

There is a large increase in acreage planted t his year e.sj ecially in the winter-wheat | States, where thousands of acres of ruined wheat have been plowed up and planted to coi n. The damage done by the cold weather ami rains in May and the latter part of April appears to have amounted in most case to but little more than the del:i\ ing of planting and the reta.ding of the growth of the grain after planting. The warm weather which set in al out lune 1. changed the aspect of affairs very much. The warm, bright weather came just in time to do its work. Had it been delayed ten days longer, the result wou d have been disastrous. As it is, there is promise of a large yield, and with good v- other the promise Will not fail of fulfillment.

A. H. Hill, a Richmond mechanic, has constructed a miniature steamboat, perfect in all its parts. Although the machinery is moved by a spring, it has all the appearance of being run by steam. Everything about it ' is perfect, even to the brilliantly-lighted saloon. Joseph Benson, of Madison, was sitting on a chair with a large pair of cutting shears in his hands, when he accidentally fell off the chair, and by some means onto the sharp point of the scissors, which entered the right side of his body, inflicting a very ugly wound. The following Indiana postmasters were commissioned last week: James D. Smythe, Lochiel, late Harland; James G. Boyse, Carrollton; Robert M. Bante, Rock Lane; Jacob E. Hinshaw, Snow Hill; Horace C. Owen, Bishopville; Mattie J, Thompson, Nickel Plate, Stark county. The proclamation of Governor Porter declaring the acts of the last Legislature in operation, was issued June 8. The matter has been delayed several days since the acts were published by the failure of two or three counties to promptly return receipts for the volumes distributed Benjamin F. Arnold, a married man aged 38, residing in Shelbyville, has been missing from his home tor four weeks. He left home intending to go to Fairland on business, expecting to return the same day. He has not been beard of since that time, and his wife and children are almost crazy with grief. James Ott and Joseph Kennedy, of Pleasant township, Wabash county, were arrested at the instance of the Chicago A Atlantic railway, for attempting to wreck its trains. They protest innocence, but both were bound over. Both are respectable farmers, and their arrest causes much astonishment. The Fort Wayne shops have turned out the first of five great locomotives for the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago railroad It weighs 97,000 pounds, and has eight driv-ing-wheels. The cylinders are 20 by 26 inches. It will haul sixty loaded cars. The other four will be completed during the summer. James 11. Smart, ex-State Superintenden of Public Schools, was elected President of Purdue University last week by the Board of Trustees. The action of the Board meets wdth hearty approval. Dr. White, w*ho recently resigned the Presidency, will spend the summer trading, and will probably thereafter remove to his old home in Columbus, Ohio. , Civil Engineer Pearson, of the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago railroad, has comI pitted the survey for the location of the ' company’s general repair and construction shops in Lafayette. In addition to the grant • of land already made by the city, four more eras are asked, for, and these the city has 1 agreed to furnish. The city will grade up the ground, and, that being done, the work of erecting buildings will begin. k During the war a Gibson county soldier received injuries which disabled him so he was compelled to discontinue the practice of his profession. He applied for a pension, the granting of which was delayed for some i time. In the meantime he recovered to • such an extent that he did not consider himi self as deserving a pension and stopped • proceedings. The Trustees of Purdue University have made the following appointments in addition to that of James H Smart as President of Purdue: M. C. Stevens was chosen to the chair of mathematics, made vacant by the resignation of Prof. D G. Herron; E. E. Smith, principal of the Academy, was elected to the chair of English Literature, and W. F.

David Bowen, an old and respected German, has recently gone insane, and proceedings werd instituted to procure his admission into the asylum. Pending the arrangement of the preliminaries, he left the room and sat upon the edge of the balcony outside the railing. In a moment afterwards he fell or jumped off and landed upon the stone steps, about twenty feet below. He ’ was badly injured and will probably die. Another bad wreck occurred on the J., M. A I. railroad, near Jonesville, ten miles south of Columbus. The south and northbound freights filet oil a oUrve that hid them from each other until too late to pre--1 vent the crash. One engine was entirely disabled, the other injured, and ten cars i almost completely wrecked. The train men j jumped aud escaped injury. The accident was caused by the failure of the northbound train to side-track, as it should have done. ITie jury in the Circuit Court, at Covington, awarded $1,200 damages against the Chicago : and Eastern Illinois railroad in favor of Mrs. Maria Hedges, widow of Daniel T. ' Hedges, w’ho was killed by the ears at the depot in Covington, March 28. The suit was ; warmly contested by the railroad, reprel sented by Judge Davidson, of Covington, and Mr. Armstrong, of Chicago. The attorneys for the plaintiff were R. R. Jones, of Covington, and C. D. Jones, of Lafayette. Wm. McCaslin, an old citizen of Frank- ■ lin, went to his farm last week, and, finding i some horses trespassing on his pasture, unI dertook to drive them out. In the effort he became very much exhausted, and on the way home stopped at a farm-house and asked permission to enter and lie down, as he was ill. The lady who appeared at the door ' feared he had the small-pox, and refused to grant the request. Later in the evening he was found upon the roadside and brought ; home. Under medical treatment he rallied a little, but was taken worse, and soon after expired. The Attorney-General holds that a statute cannot be altered, revised, amended or abrogated by a joint or eonourrout xtwuiuuon. The opinion is given m answer to a question touching the validity of a concurrent resolution of both Houses directing the Secretary of State to distribute a copy of the statutes to each Township Trustee, to the Clerk of each county, etc., and to sell to any person at $2 each. The Attorney-General holds that the distribution of the statutes must be . limited, and the price therefor be regulated exclusively by statutes (p. 600, acts 1883)| and not by the concuarent resolution. Lawson E. McKinney, treasurer of Monroe county for three years past, has proven a defaulter to the amount of about $15,000. Mr. McKinney has served in official positionin Monroe county for nearly ten years—two years as Recorder, four years as Sheriff ■ and almost four years as Treasurer, during I which time no man has been so trusted or j enjoyed more completely the confidence of , his constituents. At the end of his term in . the Recorder’s office his accounts were correct; and the same in the Sheriff’s office, with the exception of about S2OO, which it I was thought was only a mistake; and upon | his making the amount good nothing more was thought or expected. When his term as . farming for two years, after which he was a candidate on the Republican ticket and elected Treasurer by a small majority. In several of the counties the succession ‘ to the County Superintency of Schools is contested. In reply to an appeal by one of the contestants for official recognition, Hon. John W. Holcombe, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, makes the following re- j ply: “My duty is plain. I must recognize i the person whom the County Auditor reI ports to me as elected. The statute which provides for the election of County Superintendents directs that ‘the County Auditor shall report the name and postoffice address of the person appointed to the Superintendent of Public Instruction.’ (Section 4,424 R. S.). That is the means provided by law for informing me who is the County Superin- | tendent, and I have no power to determine | the validity of an election upon informs- ' tion furnished from other sources (‘evidence aliunde’). My recognition, however, does not make a man County Superintendent. That question must be decided in the courts or between the contestants.” A Vincennes dispatch of the 10th says: “The most shocking murder and suicide that ever occurred in this city took place at midnight last night. Charles Pollock, aged 28 years, son of Joseph Pollock, proprietor of the Broadway flouring mills, shot and instantly killed his wife, while in bed at his father’s residence, and then shot himself, j dying in a few minutes. Both were shot through the heart. The unfortunate victims were married only a few months ago. i No cause for the rash act has bet n developed Mrs. Pollock was a Miss Clendenen, a very beautiful and accomplished young lady, a j niece of Judge J. C. Denny, of this city. She ! ’ returned from Petersbugh, on Saturday, | wffiere she had been visiting her mother, beI ing very happily surrounded by a host of I friends and everything needed to made life > desirable. What took place prior to the commission of the crime is not known, and the only words heard were uttered by the lady—“Oh, Charlie, don’t!” Charles PoL lock had been drinking in the early part of the evening, and returned home intoxicated, and it is supposed committed the rash ac| while laboring under a fit of frenzy pro’ duced by strong drink.” Just after Dr. Knickerbocker received the news of his election as Bishop of the Diocese of Indiana, he was interviewed by a reporter of the Minneapolis Trtftwne, to vhomhesaid: “The news comes upon me as a lightning stroke, and it is hard at present to say wheter I will accept it or not My work in the ministry has been wholly in this city, and Gethsemane parish is the only charge I have ever had. In the twentyseven years I have labored here, many and tender ties have been formed, and it is like plucking at one’s heart to think of sundering them. Os course, my selection was w holly unsclicited and entirely unexpected, for, although I had known that my name would be mentioned among others, I had fio idea that the choice of the convention would fall upon me. The nomination, occurring as it does within six months of the General Con--1 vention, will have to be confirmed by that body, which convenes in Philadelphia in Oc tober next. Therefore, should I accept, it will give ample time to shape my affairs and the work in which I am now engagedso that no disastrous results will follow. For me to leave our new church building as it is would be a hardship, but my feelings in the matter are not to be regarded. If the Genera] b ■ Convention shall confirm the nomination it 5 Would seem like disobeying a divine call to ' refuse. lam ready to serve the church where I best can. and the judgment of her 1 clergy as to my fitness must be regarded rather than my own feelings of unworthiness.

THE SPOOPENDYKES. They Embark In the Printing Business with Disastrous Results. SpOopendyke came home one night bringing a small btUldle in his arms. “It's a printing press on which I expect to do all my own printing hereaf- 1 ter,” he said. “Oh, but isn't that lovely!” fluttered 1 Mrs. Spoopendyke, dropping the stork I and rushing to her husband's side, "and I can’t we do the loveliest things With it. Is it the kind that the Herald and .Still and all those papers are printed with?” “Oh, yes, Mrs. Spoopendyke,” growled her husband, “you've hit it exactly. This is the very kind. 1 got . Mr. Bennett to kindly try it on, so as ! to get it the same size as the Herald is printed on.” “And will you print papers with , yours like Mr. Bennett and the other editors ?” continued Mrs. Spoopendyke, timidly. “Oh, but won’t I, though?” yelled her husband. “It needed a dod gasted female idiot to think of that; you've . struck the proper plan. “Think you can print a 50x60 showbill with a 3x4 ptess ? Well, I tell ye that ye can’t. Can ye get into your measly head that this is a card press, and can only print a card three inches by four inches.” “Oh, it’s a card press, is it?” ventured Mrs. Spoopendyke; “then we can print ! those beautiful Christinas cards on it, i can’t we?” “Now you’ve got it,” yelled her husband; “that’s the idea. It prints hi I thirty-five different Colors at one un- , ! pression, and any design, from the j picture of an old crank with a sealskin i overcoat, loafing round somebody's chimney with a game-bag full of jumping jacks, to the New Year, 1883, represented by a hump-backed baby | dressed in a broad grin, with a napkin , tied round its waist, driving out the old | year, dressed as an old tramp, with a | : whisky under his arm. That’s the idea I ; exactly. Think you can print chromos ■ and lithographs on it, don’t you ? Well, ' you can’t. You can only print one color, and that is black. Think you | grasp it now ?” 1 • “Well,” said Mrs. Spoopendyke, “I | suppose you can print visiting cards on . it?” “Yes, Mrs. Spoopendyke, I can,’’said her husband, in a softer tone, and he ■ grew in a much better humor as he pro- I ceeded to show his wife the press and ex- | liibit his dexterity in the use of the tyjio I and the press. At last he got his worthy helpmeet’s name set up in type, and proceeded to I pnt the chase on the press with a grand | i flourish. But in an evil hour he had forgotten to key it up, and at a touch j ! the whole business went to pi, and at j j the next fell in a confused mass all over , the carpet. “Why. what makes it do that?” said ! Mrs. Spoopendyke, laughing. “What makes it do what, Mrs. S. ?” sneered her husband, as he hit bis head ; on a corner of a table, in a mad dive aft- i ler the tvpe. “What, d’ye s’pose makes uuo it.' nmu maaes auynnng m> any- I thing? If I had your talent for asking I idiotic questions I’d get a glass of beer 1 J and a three-inch paper collar, aud live [ I out as a prosecuting attorney." By this time the worthy gentleman had got the name set up and securely fastened, and was prinking with great gusto; but he had, unfortunately, set the I types in wrong order, and the first eight ; perfumed visiting cards came out like the following: .ekydnepoopS .srM When Mrs. Spoopendyke saw it she set up a little scream, “Oh, isn’t that funny, though? What makes it wrong side up ?” “Funny I” howled her husband, with horrid derision, as he grasped the situation. “It's a perfect thunderbolt of fun. ! It’s the most delicious humorous thing lof the century. All you need is an ad- ' vertisement of liver pills on the cover, I and a joke about a goat on the first i page, to be a comic almanac. With your appreciation of humor, all you j need is a broad grin and $3,000 worth of stolen diamonds, to be the leading | comedienne of the American boards. Can't you see the measly type’s turned wrong? They have only got to be turned round the other way." After half an hour of diligent labor I the types were again in position, securely keyed up, and put on the press. When the final arrangements were completed, Mr. Spoopendyke turned round to wink at the baby, and incautiously left his thumb over the edge of the press. As luck would have it. Mrs. Spoopendyke, in her anxiety to show I her husband how well she understood and appreciated the press, brought the I lever down and the press closed on that gentleman’s thumb, making him jump : four feet high, and utter an exclamation J that would have made the Second Lieutenant of a company of pirates blush. I “Dod gast the measly printing press,” he shouted, as he smashed the base burner with it, and then he threw it in the alley. “Haven't ye got any sense scarcely ? Why didn’t you go on with the entertainment ? The measly thing only got as far as the bone. Why don't j ye finish the chapter?" and Mr. Spoopendyke danced up stairs, five at a time, with a parting injunction to his wife to hire out for a slaughter-house. “Well,” said Mrs. Spoopendyke. as 1 she picked up the baby, and put a pitcher of water where her husband would be sure to fall over it when he went down stairs in the morning, “if we have so much trouble in printing one , word, I wonder how Mr. Bennett gets j along with a whole newspaper to print.” Felice Efficiency in Russia. Returning home from i dinner party in St. Petersburg once, Prince Gortschakoff missed from the pocket of his overcoat his pocket-book, containing | 30.000 rubles. He at once informed the Chief of Police, who assured him I that the thief would quickly be hunted I down. Sure enough, before a week had I passed the Chief restored to the Prince I the entire sum of money intact, but without the pocket-book, which, he said, the thief confessed haling thrown away to avoid identification. This was very well; but a day or two later Gortscha- | i koff. putting on the same overcoat, was surprised to find in a pocket overlooked i before the missing pocket-book, conI taming untouched the 30,(*00 rubles, which be never had lost at all. The , idea of restoring the supposed stolen , money to the Prince from the public funds, in hope of thus winning favor for , zeal and efficiency, speaks wo Ids for the police officer’s ingenuity, but prej sgits a curiofts phase of Russian official ' ethics. —-Vein York Tribune.

A middle-aged married couple turned in next to me, having boarded u train at away station. They had evidently been much hurried and were out of humor, f‘>r the wife was fretful and excited, and the husband growled itbbve his breath in this style: “Now, I’ll just bet you didn’t put iny ' nightsliirt in." “S'litlsh! It's in the basket in the I corner,” replies the woman. “I’ve looked in the basket, and it ain’t i there. I s'pose you put it in the ■ bottom, tinder the vittaks ?” “In the vittals, indeed! Why, -Tolin, what on e-a-r-t-h lire you doing?” “Pm looking for my shirt.” “Don’t. That’s the wrong basket. You've gone and spilt them pieties all Over the bed. I never saw such a man. ” “Never mind, Mary; you needn’t tell the whole car.” This in a whisper peculiar to the stage. “Looking for yonr old shirt in the dinner basket. I don’t see what anybody wants with a nightshirt on tho railroad, anyhow.” retorted the indignant female, and there was a whirrjug sound to indicate that she had pitched the mfcmiug article in his face just id time to choke off a wicked rejoinder. "S'posin’ the cars were to run off the track;” added she, “you’d be a fine picture wailin’ out of a swamp or roll, i’ down a bank in that, wouldn’t you ?" “I’d be just as comfortable as you are in that—” “S’hush. You disgrace us both with your tongue. ” Whimpering. “My tongue. Well, dang it, Mary, if-2 y Ol1 —you.” Breaks off to sob. That’s where she had him. I fancied, shortly after, hearing the resonant and agreeable sound of a kiss but perhaps it was only the angels, and I dropped off to sleep again. On the following day I saw the same couple seated opposite munching pickles and fried chickens at intervals, as docile and happy a couple as anybody may wish to see.— Errhanae. The Northern Bonndary. The whole of this boundary, from Michigan to Alaska, has been distinctly marked by the British and American Commissioners, and some interesting details have been published of the way in which this difficult task was accomplished. The boundary is marked by stone cairns, iron pillars, wood pillars, earth mounds and timber posts. Iheso structures vary from five feet in height to fifteen feet, and there are 385 of them between the Luke of the M oods and the base of the Rocky mountains. I That portion of the boundary which lies ’ east and west of the Red River valley j is marked by cast-iron pillars at even- [ kkiilxy CJ lio 0110 * ; every two miles, and the Unit 'd States I one between each British post. Iho pillars arc hollow-iron casti' gs, aud upon the opposite faces are cast, in letters two inches high, the inscription, “Convention of London” and “October 20, 1818.” The average weight of each pillar when completed is eighty-five pounds. With regard to the wooden post-, the Indians frequently cut "them dowa tor fuel, aud nothing but iron will last very long. Where the line crosses lakes, mountains of stone have been built, the bases being in some places eighteen feet under water, and the tops projecting some eight feet above the surf me of the lake at higli-water mark. In forests, the line is marked by fell ng the timber a rod wide and clearing i away the underbrush. As might well Jbe imagined, the work of cutting j thro gh the timbered swamps was very I great, but it has all been carefully and thoroughly done. The pillars a e all ( set four feet in the ground in ordinary I cases with their inscription faces to the I nort'i and south, and the earth is w. 41 settled and stamped about them. Ihe iron posts afford little temptation for dislodgment and conveying away by the Indians. Mr. and Mrs. Topnoddy. Mr. Topnoddy sat for along time the other evening studying the fire in a reflective mood, building a pretty fancy about a jet of flame, only to have it go out in smoke, and wreathing dbont a i glowing coal a chaplet of happy | thoughts, only to see it smoulder ami fade away into dust and ashes. At last he said to his wife: “My dear, would you be sorry if I I were to die ?” “Don’t talk that way, Topnoddy,” she replied; “of course I would." “Sometimes, my dear, I think it would I be a relief to you if I should join that I innumerable throng which has gone on ' before.” “No. no, it wouldn’t.” "But you could find some one else to , take my place.” “I know it, Topnoddy,but vou mustn’t I die.” "Why not, my dear?” he persisted, ! thinking a tender chord was touched. “Because black is so awfully unbe- ■ coming to me, and you know I’d have to wear it a year or more. But it's just : like you, Topnoddy, to go and die now, I simply to compel me to make a fright ! of myself.” Mr. Topnoddy stopped talking, covered up the fire and went to bed.— j The Drummer. Preaching ami Music. It is said that certain dull preachers of Rochester, N. Y., are anxious because a good many sinners attended I their churches, not to hear sermons and get religion, but to hear the music and be entertained. There is but one cure for that sort of difficulty, aud that is to make the pulpit more interesting than the choir. When people go to church, not to hear the sermon, but to enjoy the music, it argues that there is more human and divine ministry from 'he choir than from the sermon ; that, in a word, the organist and singers aie j smarter than the parson. The thing I for such anxious parsons to do is not to scold the sinners or the singers, but to I overhaul themselves. Think of Paul ! worrying as to whether people came to his meeting with right motives, as they are called. The thing for the true preacher to do is to create or ins pre right motives in his audience, no matter what prompted the people to come. Let the Rochester preachers wake up on their own account, and sinners will hear them gladly. — Philadelphia Times.
