The time of her passage across the ocean was five days, fifteen hours aud fifty-eight minutes. Considerable comment has been caused through Oklahoma by legal opinions rendered by Judge John Dille and other prominent lawyers of the Territory, that Indians will be entitled to vote at the com Ing elections. They say that the law provides that Indians taking land in several* ty have the same franchise as any citizen, and if this opinion be good law, the candidates will have 3,000 Indians to buttonhole. If the Indians vote, it is liable to make quite a difference in the congressional race. The followers of Jack Cooley, the leader of a gang of outlaws in Pennsylvania, are avenging his recent death in a frightful manner. Wednesday evening they proceeded to the house of Wesley Sister, who had participated in Cooley’s capture and death, bound and gagged him and repeatedly outraged his daughter. The daughter was but a child, and probably will not recover. A sheriff’s posse is in pursuit of the outlaws and if captured there will be more deaths to avenge. 1 Near AVinchester, Ky„ Sunday, six boys wore drowned in the Kentucky river by the overturning of a skiff.

O’Donnell is in Now York, his friends say. preparing "a disagreeable surprise” for the Carnegie company. What that "surprise” is to be is not known. It 1s very probable, too, that it never will be known. It is announced that ninety workmen who struck on the 38th of Juno have returned to work. It is believed violence will be resumed as soon as the troops are removed. There is nothing encouraging so far as the strikers are concerned. Shortly before sunset Saturday evening in the eastern part of Cincinnati, Frank Swisher, a boy sixteen years old, killed his brother, Willie Swisher, thirteen years old He was immediately arrested for murder. Frank was at home, sitting in a second story window with a Flobert rifle in his hand. Willie entered the front yard and Frank shouted: “Willie, hold up your hands.” Willie obeyed. Just then the rifle was discharged and Willie fell dead, shot in the head. Frank says the rifle wont off while lying on his lap. Nobody believes the shooting was intentional but the opinion prevails that Frank took aim. Five thousand people at Inver Grove just south of St. Paul, Minn., were the horrified spectators of a terrible fall to death of Prof. Hobc, the aeronaut. When the balloon reached the usual altitude, Hobe could bo seen tugging at the valve cord, which would not work. Before he could manipulate it the balloon was at least 3,000 feet above the earth. In the regular way he cut loose the parachute and shot rapidly earthward, but to the horror of tho crowd the parachute did not expand, and the unfortunate ■ aeronaut fell like a shot toward the ground. So great was tho force of the fall that bo was driven into the soft ground to a depth of twelve feet and Instantly killed. POR&IQN. Four conspirators who attempted th 0 life of Prince Alexander of Bulgaria were executed on the 37th. Others who participated in the conspiracy were sentenced to long terms of imprisonment.

Max Llmon, until lately a rich banker of Kiev, Russia, recently exiled by tho Czar’s edict against Hebrews, is working in the stock room of Kahn Brothers, clothing house, Chicago, for a weekly salary of $7. At one time Limon’s fortune amounted to $500,000 roubles, almost half a million dollars, yet for five weeks he wandered about the streets of Chicago in search of work, and had it not been for a pittance occasionally bestowed by the charitably inclined, he would have starved to death. A letter from Celebes gives details of the recent eruption of the volcano Qunona, on Great Sanger island. The eruption comi menced at 6 p. m. on a day early in June and was unheralded by the slightest siesmic warning. Immense volumes of flame i and smoke and masses of stone suddenly | burst from the volcano. The stones fell all over the island, killing hundreds of natives, who were busy in the fields getting in the rice crop. Those who reached the supposed shelter of their homes found no refuge, many having been crushed beneath the weight of the falling stones an d j roofs having collapsed under the weight i of ashes, burying the inmates, in many ! instances whole families. Streams of lava I flowed with frightful rapidity down the slopes of the mountains, on which were situated numerous farms and villages. Houses and fugitives alike were overwhelmed by these rivers of molten rock. It is estimated that over 14,000 have perished on the slopes of the mountains and many hundreds more In tho low lands, but the total loss of life is unknown. SITUATION AT HOMESTEADi Tho company is said to have 800 men at work on tho 28th, ; A rumor is afloat that if the strikers ■ loose the fight they will blow up the j works. I Tuesday evening the Pittsburg police I came in posession of facts leading them to I believe that bombs are now being made I in that city. A merchant on Smlthfield i street reports to the police that within i the past few days he “has sold unusually large quantities of small glass tubes and other materials used in the construction of the usual anarchist bomb. The merchant’s customers have been mostly foreigners of repulsive appearance, and he says Russian Jews, having the appearance of Anarchists. Inspector Kelly is keeping a lookout for all the Anarchists on the south side. There are several groups of them, and while he has not obtained evidence to arrest any of them, they are being watched day and night, and orders have been issued to arrest any who attempt to leave the city. Knold when questioned by Inspector McKelver, admitted receiving letters from Herr Most. He said that Most’s instructions were very pointed, aud that he had issued strict orders to destroy all letters written by him. This is the reason the police have been unable to get much evidence against any of the men. They have not a scratch of the pen from each other. Many of them had circulars and anarchist literature, but nothing to criminate any one else. Knold is very anxious to regain his liberty, aud he is the man the police expect the most from. He makes incendiary speeches and tells what- the Anarchists will do.

Magnificent specimens of carp are being taken from the Wabash river at Lagro. The United States Fish Commissioner five years ago stocked a few ponds and the river near Wabash with small carp, and these have grown until the Wabash is said to be alive with them, weighing from ’two to twelve pounds.CMany of the ponds were washed out by the overflow of the

stream, which accounts for the presence of so many carp. The fish are caught In large numbers, but are said to be too fat and rank for table use. At Fort Wayne, Lemuel Miller, aged seven years, met death in a peculiar manner Saturday. The boy, In company with other boys, was playing about a steam road-roller, which was standing oa East Wayne street. A number of heavy pieces of pig iron used to give weight to the roller worn lying on top of the machine. Miller’s brother removed a support from the tongue of the roller which throw tho boy to tho ground and a bar of iron weigh ing fifty pounds fell on him, crushing to the pavement and mashing his head almost to a pulp. A remarkable struggle between a fish and a man took place on the falls at Jeffersonville Friday. Thomas Wright, coming from Louisville to Jeffersonville, saw a ono-hundred-pound catfish drifting on top of the water. He struck it with an oar and stunned It, and, grabbing It by the gills, attempted to hurl it into his boat. The fish revived and dragged him out, upsetting the skiff. The life-saving crew, thinking that Wright was drowning, appeared on tho scone just as Wright was reappearing on the surface still clinging to his fish. He managed to hold to the skiff, and, with tho assistance of the crew, got the fish into the boat. All oi the men bad their hands full In capturing the monster. Wright was nearly drowned and utterly callapsod when the captur was effected, having been unable to oxe trlcato his hand from the gills.

The State Federation of Labor which was in session at Logansport adopted a resolution censuring Congress for Its failure to pass an antl-Pinkerlon bill. A res olutlon that members of the organization arm themselves at once created a good deal of amusement, and was voted down almost unanimously, but later a resolution calling on labor men not to join the militia was adopted. The resolutions adopted were numerous, but unimportant. South Bend was selected for the next convention. Officers were elected as follows: President, T. M. Gruelle, of Indianapolis; Secretary, J. P. Hannegan, of Lafayette, Organizers—O. P. Smith, of Logansport; D. F. Kennedy, of Indianapolis, and Miss Belle E. Pearson, of New Albany. District vice-presidents—First, M. A.

Young, of Huntington; twelfth, A. Laemmerman, of Fort Wayue; thirteenth, Albert Harlan, of South Bond. The officers of the Pennsylvania militia wore criticised for tying up a private by the thumbs, and their dismissal was demanded. Governor Pattison will be furnished with a copy of the resolution. A resolution denouncing the Indiana gerrymander was tabled. A printer from Indianapolis caused much excitement by offering a resolution requesting all laboring men to quietly organize and defend themselves against capatalists. Benjamin Marlatt, a farmer living near Attica, was bunkoed out of *4,500 Saturday by two three-card-monte sharks. One of the strangers Introduced himself as the nephew of an Attica banker, and was looking for a farm. While showing him around Marlatt and the nephew met with the accomplice, who introduced his game. The nephew, speaking confidentially to Mr. Marlatt, “tried” the game and “won” $500. The “nephew” and] Marlatt then agreed to try it, Marlatt to put in $4,500 and the “nephew” $500. They won, and the money was counted out to them. Then, as though the thought had just occurred to him, suddenly the card man suggested to Marlatt that he had not put up any money, and of course it would not bo the square thing for him to take that big pile of money on a bluff. Marlatt protested that while ho had no money with him he could get it, and so the $5,000 was placed in a tin box and given in charge of Marlatt’s companion, and the two latter drove to Attica, where Marlatt left his note in the Farmers’ and Merchant's Bank and took back with him *4,500. The card man counted it with a solemn face, and put the money in the box with his *5,000 and passed what purported to bo the same box to Marlatt. The two strangers bade their friend good-bye and departed. Marlatt returned homo, and after supper took the box to Attica to deposit it. Finding the bank closed ho went to Mr. Green’s residence, and that gentleman at once told him he had been buncoed. Marlatt refused to believe it, however, until he pried it open and found it contained only a picture of a man throwing three-card-monte. Marlatt owns three hundred acres of land on which he had just made the last payment.
