A dispatch from Owosso, Mich., in describing a sham battle by veteran soldiers, says the only casualties were the killing of a child and the tearing off of the hand of a gunner. So wide is the territory traversed by the forest fires in Northern and Middle Wisconsin and so meager the information as to the actual extent of the damage that the losses can only be roughly approximated. A Milwaukee dispatch says: The greatest damage was to standing timber, and tho loss will amount to millions of dollars. Portage, Murattion, Wood, Clark, Brown, Door’ and Calumet Counties suffered most severely. It is feared that half the timber resources of the comities named will bo destroyed. The drought lias 'been so long sustained that leaves have withered and fallen weeks before their time, swamps and marshes havo dried up, creeks have disappeared, and streams have dwindled to insignificant rivulets, everything, therefore, burned like tinder, with no barrier to impede the progress. Hundreds of thousands of acres of openings where tie. second growth of pine was growing have been burned over. From the best information obtainable it is estimated that fifty saw mills were consumed along the line of the Wisconsin Central Railroad, and thousands of cords of piled wood, ties, etc., aro in ashes. The number of homeless families is estimated at seven hundred, representing some 3,500 people. Their individual losses are comparatively light, but will in the aggregate reach over a million, mostly uninsured. Tho cranberry marshes destroyed wore among the largest in the country. As soveral vein s will he required to replace tho bushes, the loss is severe; it is estimated at J‘200,000. Cattle and horses perished by the hundred. Many were suffocated, or died from inability to obtain water. Hundreds of acres of thousands of tons of hay, were consumed.

A terrible triple tragedy occurred at Graysville, Teun., tweuty miles from Chattanooga. The liev. F. M. Dandy and John Daria, the latter a prominent farmer, had a difficulty over the attentions of Davis to

Bandy’s daughter. The young lady’s brother attempted to whip Davis, and the latter beat him to death, crushing his skull with a stone. At this juncture the minister drew a knife and attacked Davis. Both men fought with knives, and each was mortally wounded. Miss Mamie Little, from Savannah, arrived at Macon, Ga., and asked ex-Po!iceman Jim Moore for directions. He procured a hack for her, and, getting in himself, put his pistol to her head and compelled her submission. He took her to an assignation house, keeping her under cover of his pistol. Moore was arrested and jailed. An angry mob stormed the prison, battered down the doorr, took Moore out, and, despite his piteous cries for mercy, hanged him to the limb of a tree.

The General had ordered l’ope to leave his premises, and when the ruffian persisted in holding his ground the officer struck at him with a cane. The negro then fired. The wounds are not thought t ) be fatal. The acting Secretary of the Treasury statei that in the future bond calls wilt be based on the state of the Treasury, and that there has been no difference of opinion betweeu himself and Treasurer Jordan. It is xmderstood that the mission of Gen. Sedgwick to PuSJ del Norte and Chialiualma is not in any sense of a diplomatic nature, but is undertaken at the request of the Secretary of State, for the purpose of examining into the facts and legal features of the Cutting ease. His journey may be extended to tho City of Mex'co, hut this point is left for future determination.

State, the electors shall by ballot express their preference for some person for the office of United States Senator. No action has been taken on this process up to tho present time. Senator Van Wyck, who is a candidate for re-election, has determined to appeal to tho people for their expression of preference under this proviso, and he lias accordingly issued a manifesto. This will bo the first instance'of a direct vote of the people for United States Senator, and it is supposed that the choice thus made will be binding as a matter of honor on the Legislature.

A committee of three leading shippers of Rockford, 111., has been appointed to urge the location through that city of the Chicago and Madison branch of the Illinois Central Road. The Southern Pacific Road is soon to commence running sleeping-cars direct from Atlanta to Han Francisco, a distance of three thousand miles. At the annual election of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company, held at Portland, Elijah Smith was successful in heading the list of Directors. The introduction to “Poor’s Railroad Manual for 1886,” which has just been published, shows that 3,131 miles of road were constructed during the year, the aggregate mileage for the whole country being now 128,973. The capital stocks of all railroads is $3,817,697,832. The earnings of all roads equaled $772,568,833, against #770,684908 for 1884. The introduction says the lasl year undoubtedly marks a point of lower depression in the earnings of railroads in ratio to their cost and mileage than is likely to b witnessed for some years to come.

It may bo con ceded, if necessary, that Cutting has been le gaily convicted under Mexican laws, but tin people and Government of tho United States car never submit to such a rule of law. Every ed itor and every other person who writes or print! matter in the United States obnoxious to the views of Mexican , courts can ai any time when found in Mexico lx arrested and punished as Cutting lias been The person of Cutting is not imolved. Surelj our Government has not made an idle demand No ono wants war, and I trust no one wants peaco at the expense of national honor and the rights of American citizens.

Louise Michel has been sentenced in Paris to four months’ imprisonment and a fine of 100 francs for “seditious language.” Two socialist leaders of London have been fined SIOO each for obstructing the streets by a meeting July 18. A Belfast dispatch says the excitement occasioned by the riots has been revived by an outrage committed by the Orangemen of Queen’s Island upon a Catholic named Johnson.

LATER NEWS ITEMS.

Nearly the entire West and Northwest felt the effects of the fierce storm, or series of storms, which swept over those sections on the 15th and 16th inst. The storm was accompanied by a fierce electric display, and in some cases by heavy wind. The rain ponred in torrents. Many deaths from lightning are reported At Newark, Dakota, four persons were killed and one wounded At Mansfield, Dak., the lightning struck the postmaster, injuring him seriously. The house of Peter Strand, near Morris, Minn., was blown down, but all the inmates escaped serious injury, except Mrs. Ole Martinson, , whose thigh was fractured At E.kton, D. T., the depot was unroofed and the Catholic chuch blown from its foundations. ‘At Larimore, D. T., the Presbyterian church was blown down. Some twenty buildings were unroofed at Duluth. Standing grain in the track of the storm was badly beaten down, and that in shock was scattered Lightning did much damage near Moorhead, Minn. Many houses were struck by lightning in Chicago and vicinity. Mrs. John Culver, of that city, was so badly frightened that she died At the first clap of thunder she sprang from her bed and cowered in a corner. Her husband attempted to calm her. At the same moment a terrific triple crash of thunder came, shaking the bouse from top to bottom. Mrs. Culver fell with a scream and went into spasms. She died before her husband could render her any assistance. At Madison, Wis., four incites of rain fell The spire of the Congregational church was badly damaged by lightning. Logansport, ludiana, reports that the storm did fearful damage to the crops in the Wabash valley, eorn being blown flat to the ground on many farma From other parts of the country come reports of the damage done by the wind, rain, and lightning, showing that the storm was generaL One good effect of the storm was the exinguishment of the Wisconsin forest fires. An answer has been filed by the solicitors of Attorney General Garland to the bill recently filed by J. Harris Rogers against Garland, Senator Harris, and others for a settlement of tho affairs of the Pan-Electric Telephone Company. The answer denies every material statement of the bill and calls attention to “the scandalous and impertinent matter” contained therein, which Mr. Garland declines to answer unless directed by the court Tho Attorney General recounts at length his connection with the Pan-Electric Company. R. M. Yardley has been nominated for Congress by the Republicans in the Seventh Pennsylvania District The little city of Ashland, Wis., was startled the other morning by a terrific explosion, which was soon discovered to have been occasioned by the bursting of a boiler in the carpenter shop of Perinier & Webster. The boiler-house was utterly demolished, and five men and boys instantly killed and two wounded. The terrible accident cast a deep gloom over the entire city. The cause of the explosion was lack of water iri the boiler. In an interview at New York, Mr. T. Y. Powderly is reported as saying that the Richmond convention of Knights of Labor will be a democratic assembly in which no anarchists will be tolerated, that the subject of strikes will be considered, that legislation will be enacted to protoct knights from the lockouts and boycotts of employers, and bring industrial people in closer relationship and isolated assemblies under State legislation, and that the insurance and other laws of the order will be revised In speaking of the relations of the order to political parties, Mr. Powderly is reported to have said: The million men who are in the Knights of Labor are to-day studying the science of government. They in turn will be teachers of other millions, and if the parties of to-day do not heed the handwriting on the Wißll and make American laws for the American people the millions so instructed can form a party that will do so. There never will be a political party called the Knights of Labor, but members of the Knights of Labor in such a contingency as I have hinted at may one day co-operate with other thinking men in forming a party that will keep the country straight in the lines marked out for it by the founders of the republic.

News and Notes of Interest to Both the Employers and fee Employed. Workingmen Drifting Into Politics— The Industrial World and the Labor Market. There is a very strong drift among the?workingmen toward political action. This feeling is stronger in the Western Statesthan in the East. Experience, however,shows that they would prefer to throw ten. votes to the politicians they denounce than one vote to one of their own number. In Texas politics is the absorbing question among workingmen. In several cities of Kansas political tickets have been put upby wage-workers. District Assembly No. 65, Knights of Labor, at Albany, became so large that a division wsrs necessary.

C., has purchased 4,000 spindles and 120 looms at Biddeford, Me., to be up and running by Nov. 1. Southern textile competition has driven New York dry goods dealers to get special ireight rates. Southern manufacturers are preparing to increase the competition by doubling their capacity in order to reduce the cost per yard, and to that end are contracting for machinery in the North. A sheeting-mill in Waterville, Me., made 5>4,000 profit on 1,000 hands in oue year, or S4O per hand, equal to 80 cents per week. Several Maine mills are obliged to run dav and night. The Massachusetts paper-makers report business brisk. One maker at North AdamSjhas just put in four new 800-pound beaters. The total production of paper and pulp of all kinds in the United States last year was 8,380,880 pounds, against 7,867,830 pounds in 1884, 6,949,800 pounds in 1883, and 5,315,400 pounds in 1882.

The foriy-two Brockton, Mass., shoe manufacturers have refused to discharge non-union lasters, and slaud by one of their number who was ordered to do so. The largest shoe factory in England recently burned down; throwing out 1,200 hands.

Employers Should Remember that Workingmen Are Human. •From the Altoona Tribune.] If the teachings of the Caipenter of Nazareth were earned into practical effect by all who profess to be His followers, there would be a great deal less strife in the world, as well as less wretchedness and poverty. Then employers, at least all employers who profess to be Christians, would look upon their workmen not as machines but as human beings, and would take into constant consideration their temporal as well as their intellectual and spiritual needs. Carrying into practical effect the golden rule announced from the Mount, they -would be kind, generous and just, and would surely win the confidence and the love of their men. For nothing is surer than that the men who deserve the affection of others will invariably secure it. We know some employers who have a high place in the affections of those who serve them, and deservedly so, for they are worthy. There are others who are hated by those who are under them. As a rule it is because of their mean and tyrannical ways. A little more of the golden rule brought into practical operation in their relations to others would speedily work a marvelous change. But this rule is not a one-sided affair. It is as good for the servant as for the master, for the employe as for the employer. If it is the duty of capital to do unto others as it would have others do unto it, it is no less the duty of labor to do the same thing. If labor is entitled to living wages it must render honest service in return. If it is not a machine to be mercilessly w orked, neither is capital a strong box to be mercilessly robbed. The duties of the workingman toward his employer cannot be shirked. Obligations are mutual. This labor must understand and practice. If the Christian capitalist will not oppress or rob his brother, neither will the Christian laborer exert himself to drive capital into a corner that it may be compelled to stand and deliver. On the contrary, the Christian laborer will demand only that which is just, and will render honest, faithful, and cheerful service. He realizes that his employer has rights also, and he endeavors to deal justly with those rights-
