ANOTHER war on the sugar trust is brewing.

NINE Massachusetts convicts escaped from the penitentiary recently through the sanitary pipes. They escaped per sewers at the public ex. pense.

YOUNG men are on deck for this campaign. Harrity. the Democratic

chairman, isn't forty-two, and Car-

ter, the Republican chairman, is good deal under forty.

IT COST $4,000 to notify Cleveland and Stevenson of their nomination, This "formal notification" of the nomination is all nonsense, anyhow, this age of telegraphy. I

ONTARIO convicts are now forced to make twine and rope. This is *wrorse than the old custom of a parent sending a boy into the woods to cut a switch with which to punish him.

WBX do men of prominence allow their names to be used by the pro" moters of the "snide" investment schemes? is a question made pertinent by the failure of the company controlling the imaginary city of Tallapoosa, Georgia, which carried on its board of directors a list of names well calculated to impress people with its responsibility.

IT HAS already been announced that Senator Brice is to occupy the old Corcoran mansion, in Washington. The improvements being made in the edifice will cost $25,000, which to Washingtonians seems a good deal of money to use in that way, especially as only $5,000 of the amount Is allowed by the estate, and the rest comes out of Mr. Brice's pocket. The rental will be $10,000 a year, besides taxes.

THE preference of the Western man for "a steady, healthy growth" over a boom is explained by the statement

of a correspondent that there are twenty well built towns in Kansas without a single inhabitant to waken the echoes of their deserted streets. Saratoga has a $30,000 opera house, a large brick hotel, a $20,000 school bouse and a number of fine business houses, and yet there is nobody even to claim a place to sleep. At Fargo a $20,000 school house stands on the side of the hill, a monument to the bond voting craze. Tramps ought to utilize these towns as summer resorts.

MACAULEY once said that English virtue awakens every seven years to sacrifice a victim, and then goes to sleep. There are recent events con. firmatory of this declaration. Parnell was hounded to his grave for moral offenses that were virtuous compared to those of Sir Charles Dilke, the exposures of whose licentiousness shocked the world yet the latter goes back to Parliament as a

all officers who shall «erve to the close of the war shall receive half pay for seven years thereafter, and all private soldiers shall secure a reward of $80. This same Congress gave permission to South Carolina and Georgia to raise 3,000 troops of able bodied negroes for service, for •whom Congress agreed to pay $1,000 for every soldier thus mustered into service, provided that no bounty or pay be allowed said negroes," and also provided that every such negro shall be emancipated at the end of the v/ar and receive $50.

The figures on South Dakota's prospective yield, given by competent men, are simply astounding, ranging from 50,000,000 to 60,OCO,COO bushels of wheat, besides immense quantities of other grain. The ole* vator experts place the wheat yield at 50 000,000 bushels, while the Milwaukee and Northwestern railroad exDerts place it at 55,000,000 and 60,OCO,OQO respectively.

Mrs. N. E. Beasley, of Chicago, is the inventor of a grain pipe line, for carrying small grain through pipes. The project is still in its incipioncy, but Mrs. Beasley is confident of final success. The scheme is to lay pipes from Chicago to the Atlantic coast. The grain is to be carried in a continuous shaft, it is claimed, without friction. A continuous stream of grain is supposed to move twelve miles an hour. The power stations are to be twenty-five miles apart, the sections being that length and the estimated cost of this transportation is 3 cents a bushel. A model is to be erected in Chicago this fall. Tho cost estimated is $£0,000,000 for a line from Buffalo to the coast.

AN UNDERGROUND OUTLET.

The Father of Waters Thought to Be Seeking' the Gulf by a Subterranean Passage.

The caving in of the banks of tho Mississippi river now going on in consequence of the falling water, on Sunday caused tho handsome depot of the New Orleans, Fort Jackson & Grand Isle railway at Algiers, the western district of New Orleans, to collapse. The building was probably tho most substantial in Algiers, and was built in 18SP. Divers, who had occasion to go down at this point, claim that tho river has made a subterranean passage under tho land, and at each examination find it growing larger and the velocity of tho water greater. Algiers is on a peninsula, and the theory is that the Mississippi is cutting a subterranean passage way through the peninsula, which would leave New Orleans, like Vicltsburg, off the main river.

A REIGN OF TERROR.

InflLllgUTated In Buffalo By tll&

Men Aetuulted, and a Train Derailed.

The switchmen in the Erie & Lohigh Valiey at Buffalo went out on a strike LViday. Dispatches from Buffalo on the 15th say:

There had been more or less trouble Saturday between the strikers and their sympathizers and the men who were doing the strikers'work and a few desultry assaults had occurred. Things began to put on a more serious aspect at 2 o'clock Sunday morning, when a serious of incendiary fires broke out simultaneously in tho Lehigh Valley yards. Eighteen or twenty freight cars filled with wool, cotton, hay and various other merchandise, two passouger coaches and two watchman's housos were burned. The fires occurred at places where tho liremen could not successfully stay tho flames on ac count of an absence of water besides the dilliculty of access to the fires.

Tlio water tank adjacent to the coal trestles was smashed and an engine that 1 was taking water there wrecked by a string of ten runaway cars that had been turned looso from the trestle.

Firo was first discovered in the eastbound yards east of Dingons street. Here a littio oi'iico building and two or three freight cars were destroyed. At this time Yard-M.ast.er .Mead discovered flames in two passenger coaches used for the convevance of workmen, and turned in an alarm from William and Dingens streets.

In tho yards east of Dingens street fire raged among the cars of merchandise. It took tho hose from tluee carls to reach tho llames from the nearest hydrant. The liremen, however, prevented tho des traction of a great number of cars, and the loss of perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars worth oi property. Tho cars destroyed were in the midst of a great nuinher of other curs. The firemen uncoupled a number of cars and removed them from S danger. A dozen or so of cars were thrown ilrom tho Lehigh trucks through a misplaced switch.

The first intimation of anything wrong was when the coa! cars were set loose and demolished the water tank. Then the fires broke out simultaneously.

That, briefly, was what happened up to daylight Sunday morning. Hut, that was only tiie beginning. The strikers, or their sympathizers, have pulled pins, turned switches and driven off crews. Three men I aro at tho hospital badly hurt. One was assaulted at 3 o'clock h'an day morning, two others at .11 and another at 3 in the afternoon.

Tho man who was assaulted at the Westorn, New York & Pennsylvania crossing was on his way for the wreck at the time and was turning a switch. Tho strikers had turned switches and thrown six cars from his train before that. He was struck on the head. When taken to tho hospital he was completely dazed and did not know what had occurred. One of tho men was assaulted at the passenger^ station and two at William streot. I One of the most cowardly things done was tho throwing of switches under pas-r I senge.r train No. 17 at William street at 7:30 o'ciockSunday night,. Two passenger I coaches were thrown from tho track, but. tho conductor does not think anybody was hurt, though many were badly frightened..",
