THE NEWS RECORD.

A Summary of the Eventful Happen* lugs of a Week, as Reported by Telegraph. Political, Commercial, and Industrial News, Fires, Accidents, Crimes, Suicides, Etc., Etc. THE VERY LATEST BY TELEGRAPH. IN THE SOUTH. The President Enthusiastically Received at NashvlUe) Chattanooga, and Atlanta. The President met with the same enthusiastic reception at Nashville and Chattanooga that has been accorded to him all along the route. During the reception at Nashville, while many poorly dressed people, evidently fanners and working mon and women, were passing before him, Mr. Cleveland administered a stinging rebuke to a number of well-dressod people, who, having been presented, bad stepped back of him and were making unkind remarks touching the personal appearance of those passing along in front Hearing the remarks and the laughter, the President said: “These good people aro her® out of respect to me. I am not willing for you to make sport of them. It is not right* The laughter and comment ceased. At Chattanooga the train was greeted by a mass of humanity that filled the large depot to overflowing. Cannons boomed, bands played, and the vast multitude shouted. The city was thronged with people from East Tennessee, North Georgia, North Alabama, and fully 30,000 visitors were in the city in spite of tho drizzling rain. The Presidential party reached Atlanta at midnight Monday. There were at a close estimate 100,000 strangers in the city, and such a jam was never known.

COAL SCARE IN INDIANA. Not s Week’s Supply oil Hand—Tlie Kailroads Illumed—Miners on Strike. An Indianapolis special reports that there is great alarm in Indianapolis and neighboring Indiana towns over the scarcity of coaL The dealers declare that there is not five days’ supply on hand, and, besides having advanced toe price twice within the last week, they refuse to receive orders except upon the conditions that the miners supply them. There is much feeling against the railroads because it is believed that they have designedly delayed the transportation of the winter supply of fuel. The alarm is intensified by the announcement that the supply is short at the mines in the anthracite region and that orders will not be received at present. Other bad features of the situation are the suspension of work in the Southern Indiana mines on account of strikes and the fact that the low ■water in the Ohio Kiver prevents the usual transportation in that way. BLAINE MAV NOT RUN. Impression Gained by Friends Who Have Met Him in Europe. A special cable dispatch from London to the Chicago Tribune says: Mr. Blaine has now been In Paris for two weeks. Many of his friends who have seen him there, as well as many who have met him in Germany, Anstria, ana Switzerland, have lately passed through London en route to America. There is something strange, in fact, that all of these friends have gained the impression that Blaine does not desire to be nominated for the Presidency next year. Some of them, indeed, put it that he does not intend to bo candidate. If asked, however, whether they speak authoritatively these gentlemen invariably say no, but still give their impression with great confidence. Political. ■Washington is making an effort to capture both of the National Conventions, and offers them a market house to meet in. Commissioner Sparks’ forthcoming annual report will show that the Benson surveying ring in California absolutely wasted about all the money used, and that the surveys paid for were in many instances never made. The resignation of Horn W. H. Francis, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Dakota, has been called for by Solicitor General Jenks. Judge Francis was appointed to his present position by President Arthur. The charges against him are that he is ignorant of law, has a bad temper, and is given to favoritism. Disease Epidemics. Iron Mountain, Mich., is in the midst of a typhoid fever epidemic. Over one thousand families are affected, and medical aid was called from other places. Diphtheria is raging to such an extent at ■ Bamapo, N. Y., that it has been necessary to close the public schools. Typhoid fever is sorely afflicting the people ©f Cowden, HL It attacks old and young alike. A large per cent of the patients succumb to the malady. O’Brien’s Life in Danger. A London dispatch says that Balfour is charged with a deliberate intention to kill O’Brien, and report has it that for a second offense against the coercion act on the part of any one the police have been instructed to shoot the offender. There was the greatest excitement, and the belief was that if the coercion act was not sustained by the courts the police will fill graves with the inciters to discontent. Four Men Killed. The walls of the parochial school-house which is being built in New York City in connection with the Church Of Our Lady of Mount Carmel fell on Monday and twenty-one men were buried in the ruins. Four of the men are known to have been killed, and others were severely injured. Utah Affairs. In his annual report the Governor of Utah ©stimates the population of the Territory at nearly 200,000 and the assessed taxable valuation of property at $35,865,865.
