A It»aal»n Jew Atteiixpta to Aaaaaalnut* Mr. Frick, Carnegio'a MaiiHßcr In U>l» Country—Mine Men Killed by an Explosion—A Bloody Murder. BULLET AND 1)1 UK. An Attempt to Murder Manager Frick. A Pittsburgh special, dated the 25th lust., says: The most sensational incident yet In the great Homestead strike was the attempt Saturday afternoon of an anarchist printer to assassinate H. C. Frick, the chairman of the Carnegie company. Mr. Frick was seated in his private office in consultation with vice chairman Leishmau at the time the attempt was made. A German carpenter known as “Andy" was also in the room at the time. The intruder walked In off Fifth avenue and up stairs into the general office. He bad previously attempted to got in but was refused entrance by the doorkeeper. This time without asking any questions he rushed through the gate inside the railing dividing the desks from the recepticn room. Entering Mr. Frick's office, he pulled his revolver and commenced firing. Mr. Frick first grappled with him, then the other occupants came to his assistance. Before this, however, throe shots had been fired and then, the assassin’s revolver not working satisfactorily, he drew a stiletto and'Succeeded in wounding his victim in several places. When the would-be murderer had been finally overpowered. Mr. Frick lying on the floor and almost fainting from his wounus, * interposed to save the man's life. One of the company’s clerks came rushing in with pistol in hand and would have killed the intruder but Mr. Frick said: “Let that man alone,’’ and was obeyed. The news of the shooting quickly spread to the street, and police arrived within a few minutes and placed the assassin under arrest. He was taken at once to Central station, where the police were compelled to shut the gates of the yard to keep out the people. He gave his name as Alexander Berkman, a printer, of New York city, aged 26 years. About 4 o’clock, on the police surgeon visiting his cell, it was discovered that Berkman had made plans to commit suicide as well as murder. He had been dressed in prison garb, weighed, measured and had his photograph taken. While before the camera his facial movements as if chewing something bad been noticed, but it was attributed to nervousness. When it was still continued in the coll an investigation resulted, and after being choked until black and bine in the face, two dynamite cartridges were taken from his mouth, r It was evidently the man’s intentions to explode the dynamite in his mouth and kill himself in the manner that Anarchist Ling, the Chicago Haymarket rioter, who was condemned todeath. did. The caps would network, and his scheme * failed. Inspector McKelvey had the caps examined. and it was found that they were the same kind used by Ling, the anarchist. It is not understood how they failed to explode. At a late hour Monday night the physicians attending Mr. H. C. Frick, the Carnegie company’s chairman, who was shot by Alexander Berkman, reported that their patient had passed a comfortable day at his home under the circumstances, and th*t there was no evidence of any unpleasant symptoms. They are taking every precaution against inflammation, which, it is feared, may develop in the knife wounds. Gladstone Will Stand by Home Bule. London special: Information recently obtained leaves no room for doubt that Mr. Gladstone is most earnestly resolved to nroceed with the home rule bill with the least possible delay. A vote of want of confidence in the present government will be moved and pressed to a division as quickly as the forms of Parliament permit, and as soon as a new ministry has been formed Parliament will be prorogued, in order that the literal members may have a much needed holiday previous to commencing, probably in November, the hard work of «. passing a home rule bill in the face of a determined and unscrupulous opposition and obstruction by Tories and mugwumps. « , Ghouls at Work. Some weeks ago there was quite a slide at the Hillside grave yard, several miles from Waynetown, Ind. By this several coffins were nearly exposed, and negligence allowed them to remain, so. The grave yard, which is in an out-of-the-way place, was visited recently,when it was found that ghouls had removed the slight covering from nearly a dozen coffins, and breaking them open, had despoiled the corpses ot all ornaments and jewelry an< since that dogs and hogs had torn the bodies to pieces, scattering the bones and grave clothes ov-.r several acres. Nine Men Killed. Pottsville (Pa.) special: An explosion of gas occurred in the tunnel on the first lift of New York farm colliery, by which nine men are known to have been killed outright and probably three others whose bodies can not be found, while at least ten men are more or less badly turned and mutilated, some of whom will die.

The Coroner’s verdict in the Licking bridge disaster, by wllch twenty-five men were killed, exonerates the Baird Brothers, contractors. The jury finds thpt the accident was caused by the spreading of the false work, and was unavoidable

lOWOEKLI TAKES A HAND. . He Has Rome Advice to Otter the President and Governor Pattison. General Musior Workman Powderly has I addressed a letter to president Harrison and another to Governor Patti-on calling attention to the fact that the laws of the United States and of Pennsylvania have been violated by the Invasion of the Pinkertons on July 6. In his letter to the President Mr. Powderly points out that an armed body sailing under the United States flag mid not acting under the legal authority of the State or I any country or municipality had come up the Monongahela RD er and opened lire uplon the citizens of Homestead, killing a ; number of persons. Mr. Powderly says that whoever ursurped the functions of the Commander-ln-chlet of the army of the United States in ordering these men to invade Pennsylvania Is guilty of treason and should be punished accordingly, and ho therefore asks for an investigation. In bls letter to the Goiernor he points out the illegality of the acts of the Pinkertons in operating as an armed tody without the Governor’s permission, and asks that steps be Immediately taken to effect their punishment A YEAH of great crops. Irrigation Is Doing Wonders In the State of Idaho. Never since the settlement of Idaho have there been such enormous crops as during the present, seas m. The product of grass and grain has been wonderful This is the result of a change in the climate, produced by the’ multiplication of irrigating canals, which moisten a great extent of country and create a humid atmosphere. It Is believed by monos experience, who have lived on the arid belt for the last forty years, that the time is not far distant when lands lying far above where water can be directed will become arable. Formerly there wIOB no rains In June. Last year there were two after the Fourth of July, and the rainy season this year has been unusually prolonged. Colorado had the same experience If the grass crop has been large there Is use for it. for the last two winters have been favorable for stock raising, and the number on hand is estimated at nearly double that of two years ago.

St Petersburg advices sayt Six cases ot cholera and four death* have occurred at Kolomna, sixty-three miles front Moscow, where there are extensive factory works. Two deaths from cholera has occurred in a village near Moscow and two within Moscow. Not eof these, however, have been reported officially. Few of the principal merchants Intend to visit the Nijnl-Nov-gorod fair. Many will abstain from doing business at the fair while others will send subordinates. The Novoe Vremya, describing scenes in the cholera-Infected districts, says: “The Baku railroad station was filled with a tumultuous crowd of fugitives. When the doors were opened the crowd rushed to the platform and so overcrowded the trains that many sat on the floir rather than bo left behind. The stench of the atmosphere was suffocating. Prudent passengers sprinkled their own and their neighbors’ clothes wIRi carbolic acid. A doctor looks at the tongues and feels the passengers' pulses Everybody protests that ho or she Is In perfect health. The train then start*. Often within a few minutes a passenger Is taken 111 ■with cholera. The inmates of the patients’ compartment at once become panic-strick-en. The patient is removed and the place whore he sat Is sprinkled with carbolic add and the passengers immediately refill their places. A similar scene occurs frequently. At each station the same perfunctory examination is made. No wonder cholera is spreading in THlls and other places. HEAVY LOSS AT SAUK CENTER. Davidson MUI.

Messengers were sent to St Cloud and Little Falls, and those cities responded by starting their fire departments to the st ene. The great mill In a short time was beyond saving.

The Davidson mill, which had just been turchased for *36,000. is a total loss, as is also the electric light works across the street The fire was creeping Into the Northern Pacific Depot, when the wind suddenly changed to the north and gave the sweltering bucket brigade a chance to cheek the flames.

NOTIFIED THE LEADERS A 810 DEMOCRATIC DEMONSTRATION. Cleveland Finally Told of Hie Nomination— Btevenaon Also Learns-What Part He Has In the Democratic Ticket— Thoasande Preeen'. Now They Know ItGrover Cleveland and Adlat E. Stovenson wore formally notified by the Convention Committee at Mudieon Square 1 Garden, in New York, that they bad bi eu chosen t>y the Democratlo party as [ ita standard-bearers on the national > ticket during the campaign which will end Nov. 4 next. The formal duty im- I nosed upon the Notitl. ution Committee by the wigwam convention was made the excuse for a free-for-all mass meeting of Tammany and Kings County Democrats. For that purpose President Cleveland's runnlng-muto was brought from Bloomington, 111., to stand up with his chief and receive the homage of the host. The crowd which surrounded Madison Square Garden was big and unruly and Impatient to. get In, The police had their hands full, and were glad when the doors were swung open at 7:45 p. m. The body of the theater was free to the public.

OBOVEa CLMVILAHB.

Meantime, members ot the reception committee had driven to the home of Mr. Whitney, where they took Mr. Cleveland into a carriage, which was driven to the Manhattan Club-house. The National and notification committees were In waiting there. They were joined by other members of the reception committee who had escorted Mr. Stevenson from the Hoffman House. The three committees, with the nominees, entered carriages and were driven to Madison Square Garden, where their arrival was marked by an elaborate display of fireworks. The party alighted and entered the hall amid cheers. As the candidates passed inside more than 15,000 people were awaiting them. The admission tickets were confined to the stage and boxes, and the vast amphitheater was occupied by the general public. In many respects the occasion was typical of a national convention. There were the same decorations, the same gay streamers of variegated colors, and from the topmost gallery surrounding the inolosure were Suspended the coats of arms of the various States and Territories of the Union. While awaiting the arrival of the party the audience had passed the time cheering alternately for Cleveland, Stevenson, and Governor Flower. At 8:20 there was a little commotion in the rear of the stage and a moment later the committee entered, headed by Perry Belmont, who walked arm In arm with Mr. Stevenson. Instantly there was a cry of “Here they come,” and, as the crowd recognized the Vice Presidential candidate, the vast auditorium trembled with Democratic cheers. The demonstratkm of the evening was reserved fo* Troyer Cleveland. - As he entered the ’ hail and before he had crossed the stage entrance a sharp eye from the rear gallery, 300 feet away, recognized his generous form, and the shrill cry of “Here comes Cleveland" was the signal for a demonstration that he has not witnessed since 1888. The .leader received the ovation with his usual stolidity, but his apparent modesty seemed to excite his admirers

to make more noise. Then the speechmaking began. Officially Notified. Congessman W. L. Wilson, Chairman of the late late Wigwam convention, made the opening speech. He was followed by Secretary Bell, of the National Committee, who officially notified Mr. Cleveland of his nomination. Mr. Clevelan 1 accepted in a speech of considerable length. Stephen V. White informed Mr. Stevenson that he was the choice for Vice President, and the nominee accepted in brief words of thanks for the honor conferred. During Mr. Wilson’s address Mrs. Cleveland, who had been detained, tried to enter the hall unobserved, but the audience caught sight of her and went wild with enthusiasm. In the midst of Mr. Wilson’s speech three cheers were given for Mrs. Cleveland, and when a voice from the gallery proposed "Three cheers for Ruth” the enthusiasm reached such a height that the Chairman was obliged momentarily to stop. Mr. Cleveland’s face darkened with displeasure, but even his frown was powerless to check the cheering, and it was fully a minute before the enthusiasm for Miss Cleveland ceased. FATAL SOUTH DAKOTA STORM. A Woman Killed at Gettyaburg and Her Child Injured—Churches Destroyed. Specials from various points in South Dakota give details of a severe storm that did considerable damage to crops and property Wednesday night.

The storm struck that place at 10 o’clock and destroyed the Methodist and Baptist churches, and nearly every house in the city was more or less damaged. Two heavy freight cars were blown fifty feet from the track. Wires from Gettysburg are all down and the details of the storm are meager.

There is a story, at his own expense, which the late Professor Moses Stuart Phelps used to tell with great glee. In the days when he was a graduate student, he took a walk one morning with Professor Newton, a man who lives in a world of mathematics and simply exists in the com- ' mon world of ordinary things. Pro ‘ fessor Newton, as is his habit, started ‘ off on the discussion of an atstruse i problem. As the Professor went , deeper and deeper, Mr. Phelps’ mind wandered further and further from i what was being said. At last Mr. r Phelps’ attention was called back to r his companion by the Professor wind-’ L ing up with, “Which, you see, gives i us ‘x.’” “Does it?” asked Mr. Phelps, ; thinking that in politeness he ought t to say something. “Why, doesn't it?" • excitedly exclaimed the Professor, ’ alarmed at the possibility that a flaw had been detected in his calculations. J Quickly his mind ran back over the , work. There had indeed been a mist take. “You are right, Mr. Phelps; f you are right!” almost shouted the i Professor. “It doesn’t give us ‘x;’ it gives ‘y.’ ” And from that hour Pro- - fessor Newton looked upon Mr. Phelps as a mathematical prodigy. He was r the first man who had ever caught the Professor tripping. “And so,” t Mr. Phelps used to add, with his pe- ■ culiar smile, in telling the story; “I ' achieved a reputation for knowing a ’ thing I hate. It’s away many repu- . tations are made in this superficial i world."

HAS ANoTllEli CHANCE. FAIR APPROPRIATION BILL MAY PASS. *lou»a lUJooU the World'* Fair Amend, menu — Friend* or the Meaauro SUH Hope fur Suocom— BlH Now Uoe. Into tho Hand* of Conferree*. ■/ Bunday Closing Settled. The $5,000,000 appropriation for tho World's Fair has been defeated in the House by a vote of 78 yeas to 132 nays. This action was taken in committee of the whole, and, of course, this practically ends the matter. Chicago will now be forced either to raise the necessary amount Itself or curtail the dimensions of the exposition. Tho proposition to close the fair on Sundays was carried by a viva voce vote of 78 to 74, and tellers were ordered, with the result of making tho vote 102 yeas to 72 nays. A prohibition amendment offered by Mr. Atkinson was rejected by a vote of 41 to 189. The oppropriatlon of $43,001) for 50,000 bronze medals and diplomas was agreed to, but tho Senate amendment making the appropriation for the Government exhibit $500,000 instead of $310,500 was knocked out, Mr. O'Neill’s amendment making a loan, not an appropriation, of the $5,000,000, with strict provisions for its return to the Government, was defeated. The Chair next put tho qut stlon on concurring In the Senate amendment embodying the $5,000,000 appropriation. By a standing vote the House refused to concur—years, 78; nays, 132. Tellers wore demanded, and Messrs. Holman and Hooker, of New York, took their places as tellers. The result was: For concurrence, 91; against concurrence, 116. The Republicans generally voted to concur. Mr. Taylor, of Illinois, offered an amendment providing that no machinery shall be run or unnecessary labor be performed on Sunday. This was in effect a substitute for the Senate amendment. Mr. Taylor’s substitute amendment was rejected. Mr. Lind, of Wisconsin, submitted a motion to strike out the Sunday-closing section, but on Mr. Dingley’s of order it was ruled out and the question was taken on concurrence in tho Senate Sunday-closing amendment. The standing vote resulted: Yeas, 78; nays, 74. The point of no quorum was made and tellers were appointed. The result this time was: Yeas, 102; nays, 72. That disposed of the World’s Fair amendments. The House had concurred in the Senate Sun-day-closing amendment and in the paragraph making appropriations for medals and diplomas and had refused to concur in the $5,000,000 appropriation and every other substantial amendment. The Buttle Not Lott. “I don’t understand it,” said Director Lyman J. Gage. "Congress made possible the World’s Fair, designated Chicago as its site, stipulated that wo raise $1(1,000,000,000, and then Invited the world to be present. Any hope I have lies in the fact that the matter has been referred to a conference committee. The battle is not yet lost, nor Is the day done. A bad feature is that foreign countries will not understand the attitude of the Government. If the conference committee, however, takes prompt action the Exposition may not be seriously Injured abroad. ’’ While the Sunday amendment may stand in the bill, theie is a belief that if the appropriation carries, the Sunday clause may be stricken out or modified at the next session of Congress. The elections will then be out of the way, and this, it Is thought, will make a change in the vote. President Palmer gives it as his opinion that the fair will be as strong financially with Sunday closing as without it, and he is quite hopeful that the $5,000,090 appropriation may yet be secured, and that in the end all will be well. .It is understood that President Palmer has been largely influenced by Senator Hawley, who deelares. as k result of his experience in the Philadelphia Centennial, that If the gates be closed on Sunday the aggregate attendance throughout the summer wi 11 be fully as large as it would be were the gates open every day. HELD FOR MURDER. Cceur D’Alene Fugitive* to Answer Till* Charge. Wallace (Idaho) special: The arrest of miners continues and several hundred are now huddled in the school-houses, empty warehouses and base-ball Blockade. They arc closely guarded and can not hope to escape. A number of the leading spirits in* the insurrection are still at large.. Among these are Breen and Dallas, who came here from Butte to direct the campaign. A large number of fugitive non-union men are gathered here. They huddle together and seem to be dazed over their rough experience, but are willing to go back to work as soon as quiet has been a little restored. It is the general impression that a permanent garrison ought to be maintained right In the mines. Unless this is done, this section will be the theater of many dark and bloody crimes of revenge. The western part of Wallace, at Placer Creek, is now a tented field. Eight companies of troops arrived from Fort Keogh, Mont., to-day, and will be distributed In various portions of the mining district. Many of the miners under arrest are married and have families, and to-day many wives and children were seen about the camp seeking the privilege of speaking to the heads of iheir families who are held prisoners. In most Instances this privilege was granted. It Is probable the entire body of miners under arrest will be tried in ihe United States District Court for contempt, though some of the prisoners will have to answer to the charge of murder. WHISKY TRUST IN PERIL. Owner* of Leased Distilleries Moving to Get Back Their Properly. Government officials in the internal revenue offices, who are in a position to know, say there will be lively times among whisky trust officials In the next sixty days. When the whisky combine was formed of all those independent houses which joined the Trust gave it leases of their plants. These leases are about to expire, and as the owners of the distilleries see they have a good thing they are said to be demanding something better from the trust —in other words, they are raising the rents. Another reason for this move is that the concerns that refused to enter the trust have been continually extending their buniness and plants by cutting under trust prices. The independent refiners chafe under a condition which has benefited their rivals so enormously, and hence the move to regain possession of their plants. So far the managers of the trust have not signified their intentions In the matter. World'* Fair Noto*. The Washington commission has arranged to make a very complete fish exhibit. It is reported that King Alexander of Servla has decided to visit the Fair next year. ItaLy has asked for more space In the Fine Arts Building for the fine art section of the Italian exhibit.

The House disagreed to the Senate amendment making an appropriation of $6,000,000 to the World's Fair by a vote of 78 yens nnd 133 nays. On a viva voco vote the proposition to close the Fair on Sundav was carried— 78 to 74^g« ; In the Senate, on the 20th. Mr. Vest infirm a vigorous speech against tho anti-option hill. Mr. Daniel of Virginia also spoke In opposition. No bills were passed by the Senate, but the House passed a number of measures, the most important of which was a bill Increasing tho pay of life-saving service men. Tho bill granting an American registry to the steamship China vat defeated. The Commerce Committee was authorized to Investigate the Reading combine; the House Judiciary Committee hue summoned Robert A. Pinkerton and William Pinkerton to appear before the committee to be questioned In regard to their police and detective system. Mr. Blount reported the bill Introduced by Mr. Curtis, authorizing the President to close the St. Mary’s Falls Canal to all Canadian vessels or levy a tax of from 82 to $5 a ton on them, if It Is shown that American vessels are discriminated against In passing through Canadian canals and In the Imposition of duties. In the House on the 21st the bill for enforcing reciprocal commercial relations with Canada was passed without division. In the Senate Messrs. Daniel and White denounced Washburn'S antl-optlon bill, and the general opinion is that its enemies will try to kill time until the final adNotbing was done by the confsrrees In regur I to the World’s Fair loan, and it is expected that an adverse report will be presented to the House. The World’s Fair, however, has gained many friends since the non-concurrence vole. The House bill io enforce reciprocal commercial arrangements between the United States and Canada was taken up In the Senate on the 22d, read nnd passed without any explanation and without a division. The relations of capital and labor were brought to the attention of the Senate in two speeches. Tho first of them ■was made by Mr. Peffer, and was baaed on a resolution previously offered by him instructing the Judiciary committee to Inquire into that subject and as to what legislation whs necessary to protect the Tight of theeniph yes to fair rates of wages. The other speech was made by Mr. Call, and was directed chiefly against the Pinkerton detective force. Mr. Peffer's resolution was referred to the committee on education and labor. The World's Fair question still agitates the House. TRADE MUCH BETTER. Returns Show That the Spring Wheat Crop Is Surpassing AH Expectations. R. G.
