Two passenger coaches and a sleeper were, precipitated sixly sect, killing seven persons outright and injuring a number of others. The loss to the railroad will be very.heavy. Matchwood and Bruce Crossing, two small towns on the DMuth, South Shore and Atlantic railway, were destroyed by fire, Monday.

Sub-Treasurer Tanner stated that the Government, here-, after, intended to pay regularly In gold, the change of policy being made under instructions from Secretary Carlisle, and being duo to the surplus of the yellow metal in the Treasury. Governor Ben Tillman, of South Carolina, is seeking governmental authority to use the sobriquet of the State, "Palmetto,” as a trade mark for his dispensary liquors.

Three thousand Jmcmploycd men In

Chicago held a mass meeting on the lake front, and decided to march, some day next week, to the City Hall, carrying the banners of their various unions, and demand work of the city.

A conference of delegates from the various trades unions of New York was hold in that city, Sunday afternoon, to devise means to assist the unemployed.

A new swindle upon honest and unsuspecting farmers has been brought to light, and this is the way the scheme is operated: Swindler No. 1 calls upon a farmer with a patent wagon tongue and informs him that, having made a big thing of it, he is on his way home, with only this county to sell. He tells the farmer that he can have it for $350, and if he wants it to write to him. In a few days patent right man No. 2 comes along. He has been told that the farmer has the right of the county for the patent wagon tongue, and as he has made a big thing of it in Pennsylvania, ho wants to buy the right of the county, and offers the farmer $403, and pays $10 to bind the bargain. The farmer writes to No. 1 sends him his note for $250. He never hears of either of the men again, but his note comes up for collection in a neighboring town. and Mr. Farmer is out $240. —Bluflton Banner. IN ALL HIS GLORY. * The Rajah of Kapurtltalla at the Fair in Royal Raiment. The Rajah Maharaliah of Kapurthalia gave the people of democratic America a glimpse of Eastern splendor.Tuesday. His Highness appeared in royal raiment, attended by the pomp and ceremonies that are the custom of his dominion in India. The Rajah wqs invited by the DirectorGeneral to review a military and naval pageant.that had been arranged in his honor. It was a great card for the Fair. A multitude flocked to see royalty in royal raiment, and they struggled with elbow and shoulder for points Of vantage about the lagoon through which the Rajah and his suite coursed in an electric launeh, decorated with native banners and rich Indian fabrics. The barge used to convey His Highness was decorated with carpets and shawls and handsome embroideries, the decorations being after the manner of those obtaining in Kashmir. His Highness wore a military costume over which loosely flowed a robe of silk, ornamented with gold and glittering at the neck with iewdls. An attendant held over him a gorgets silk umbrella, and another servant cooled him with a great fan of peacock feathers.. The grand plaza east of the Administration Building was black with people when the Hindoo King arrived at the landing by the Macmonnies fountain. He was heartily cheered by the crowd. A bright rod carpet extending from the landing to the grand stand had been laid to protect ■ His Highness’s feet from thorough gravel walks. At the landing he was mot by DirectorGeneral Davis and a number of World’s Fair officials. A military band had been stationed at the reviewing stand and as • His Highness approached it piayed “The Star Spangled Banner.” The Rajah was much pleased with the tune and asked the Director-General what it was, and when told expressed himself as highly delighted that one of America’s National airs should be played in his honor. The Rajah was seated on a throne. By his side sat the Director-General and around them were seated World’s Fair officials and foreign commissioners. The troops which marched in review were the Illinois National Guard, a regiment from Louisiana, the United States Marines, the French, Italian, Spanish and Russian sailors, the sailors from the caravels, the | troops at the military tournament, the Bedouins and other organizations from Midway Plaisance. I A crusade against Chinese laborers has begun in California. Large numbers of 1 white men are out of work while thousands of Chinese, find employment on ranches and vineyards. Five hundred unemployed men at Fresno, Tuesday, held a meeting and demanded the places of Chinese for white men. Many employers announced that they would discharge their Chinese at once and employ white men instead. There has so far been no violence, but the Chinese evidently will have to “go.”

Fifty men are employed in blasting the rock at Momence so as to drain the Kankakee valley. bThe Citizens National Bank of Attica suspended, Monday. Assets, $136,030; liabilities, $09,030. It is surmised that natural gas in paying quantities can be found in the vicinity of West Lebanon. Hon. P. W. Gard, the well known lawyer of Frankfort, died of consumption in that city, Tuesday, aged sixty years. One farmer who two weeks ago estimated his corn crop in Bartholomew county at 1,500 bushels says now.he will not have 100 bushels. George Stahl, 'near Vallonia, whose watermelon patch was plundered* trailed down the thieves with bloodhounds and compelled them to settle. Miss Daisy Garland, daughter of the former Attorney General, disappeared from her home in Washington, Friday. Search is being made for her. Arrangemenes are nearly complete for the location of the Ranh Locomotive works at Elwood. The company will employ twenty-five hundred men A horse belonging to Ephriam McMurray, of Montgomery county, was bitten by a mad dog, and twenty-six days afterward the animal died in horrible agony. Silas Jones, of Posey county, deputy United States Marshal, has resigned and has brought suit against Marshal Hawkins for alleged breach of contract. After a rain storm at Summ(tville an alligator twenty inches long was found in Zack Bramble’s corn field. It was alive and squirming, and is now in captivity. The State natural gas inspector is looking after the waste of natural gas by oil men in Jay county. Suits will be brought against different oil companies for violating the law. i Columbus will have asanitafium in connection with a sulphur well recently sunk at that place. The water has been analyzed and is said to be unexcelled for medical purposes. 1 Walter P. Davis, a cousin of Secretary Gresham, has received notice at Corydon of his suspension as a pensioner. Ho is almost blind. He drew under the old law $17 per month. Frankfort has been overrun by tramps, and the Mayor has decided that hereafter all tramps arrested and fined for any ordinary offense shall be put to work on the streets of that city. 1 Magic Muncie has fifteen well developed cases of small pox, and there is great alarm. Two of the cases are fatal. The eases are all in the district known as Industry, except one in Avondale. Altogether nearly one hundred inmates of the Soldiers’ Homo at Marion have been notified of a discontinuance of pensions pending further examination. Twen-ty-two received notice in one batch. Henry Ehrlich, twenty years old, son of Peter Ehrlich, a coal operator of Clay county, was bitten in the leg by a spreading viper. Ehrlich’s leg swelled to enormous proportions, and it is feared that he will die. A gang of tramps, headed by a. fellow carrying a lantern, took possession of Sturgis, and robbed every man who presented himself. Fully a dozen persons were plundered before the city marshal organized a posse and drove the rascals out of town. The only saloon at Fairmount was blown to pieces, Monday night. Numerous attempts to establish a groggery there have been made, but the proprietor of this one alone succeeded in opening a place. Angry citizens exploded a charge of dynamite under the building, utterly wrecking it. Eugene Todd, aged twenty, died at Bristol, from injuries received Sunday night in company with a young wonyin* He was seated in a hammock in the telegraph office, where he was employed, when a largo letter press, to which one end of the hammock was fastened, fell from the top of a high cupboard, and striking Todd, mashed his skuII. Charles G. Yelm, a traveling salesman of Lafayette, reports that while in Davenport, la., he was given a silver dollar in change by the hotel clerk while paying his bill. The coinage date was 1804. Mr. Yelm sold his find to an attache of the First National Bank of Chicago for $855 •cash, and was afterward chagrined to discover it was worth twice that amount. IThe great Gas Belt Electric bubble has burst and the chief conspirators have fled the country to escape the consequences of ! their acts. The laborers and teamsters who have worked faithfully for the past three weeks will not receive, one cent for their work. Many of them are destitute of the necessaries of life. Several arrests are likely to follow the explosion of the scheme. Patents were Tuesday issued to Indiana Inventors as follows: R. C. Elliott, Prairie Creek, picture exhibitor; H. C. Miller, Fort Wayne, engine; A. J. Will, Aurora, drill press; J. Marshall, Mentoka, rake attachments for mower; P. O’Brien.South Bend, tire setting apparatus; G. M. Pitch-

er, Logansport, brace; J. Teeter Hagerstown, mail crane; G. H. Shoemaker, South Bend, spark arrester: O. Watson, Crawfordsville, collar fastener. The Elwood Dally Call denounces as absolutely absurd the reports that fifteen hundred workmen are preparing to leave that city because of lack of employment, or that the plate glass-works|will postpone the resumption of work until May, 1894. While no definite time has been set, the managers report that work will resume as soon as the market permits. The Press also says that the window-glass and bottle-works of that city are preparing to resume September 1. Job Holmes, of Montlcello, Is lying at his home with one eye shot out and the other seriously injured by bird-shot. He offers no explanation, but it is surmised that ho was included among the party who stoned Hugh Davis’s residence until driven off by a shot-gun discharged in their midst by Davis. It is claimed for Holmes that he was simply an onlooker, taking no payt in the affair. The Roby prize ring is threatened with a dry rot that promises to do the duty that officials fail to accomplish. The shed came near being destroyed by fire, Tuesday night, while filled with a crowd of 6,000 people. Afterwards hoodlums attacked the building with stones and nearly wrecked it. The disgraceful scenes in and around the building woye never equaled in the history of tho prize ring. The special policemen were powerless to preserve order and the Chicago toughs had it all their own way. Tho officers of the club have fallen out. Matchmaker Houseman has resigned, and other officials threaten to do tho same because of President O’Malley’s action in excluding newspaper men and causing the Western Union wires to bo removed from the building. The car wheel Inspector at the Union Station, Indianapolis, Wednesday morning, while engaged in his duties, found a portion of a man’s leg, dripping with blood, under a Vandalia coach hanging to a truck. Later in the day telegrams were received from various points on the line announcing that other parts of a human body had been found. One from Brazil told of the finding of a head and trunk of a man near that place. In tho pocket of tho vest that was found with these ghastly remains was a note that read: “lam Marsh Gitson, aged twenty-four years, and live in Brazil, Ind„ Clay county. My father and sister live in Brazil.” Information from Brazil discloses the fact that Gibson was seen near tho scene of the accident sometime during Monday night, and that he was intoxicated. His father was present when the remains were found along tho side of the track. Indiana Odd Follows are looking for.ward with much interest to “their day” at y the World’s Fair. They will journey from their State, Sept. 23d, by every road leading Chicagoward, headquarters at the Hotel Fraternity. The parade occurs on the 25th, when it is hoped will bo given the greatest civic display of the century. Odd Follows’ Day at the Fair is Sept. 26, and it is expected that the Fair people will be privileged to report 250 0JO paid admissions on that date. There lias been arranged a programme of especial interest to the members of tho order, which includes prize drills, fireworks, a ball, and banquets.nSeveral of tho Cantons of this State will attend in uniform, and Canton Elwood will drill for first prize, which includes the State’s medal. J. E. Bodine, Indianapolis, will send information to any siring information as to rates, etc. RIOT IN NEW YORK. A Mob of Unemployed Men Enter a Hall By Force. A crowd of more than 5,000 men attacked Walhalla hall, on Orchard street. Now York, Thursday, because admittance was denied them. They smashed the plate-glass windows to atoms, forced in tho doors which had boon turned against them and forcibly took possession of the place. Several persons were cut by the flying glass. All sorts of missiles were used and finally the police reserves from tho Eldridge-sl. station were ordered to the scene. After a fierce struggle the ringleaders were arrested and held for trial. A howling mob followed tho officers to the very door of tho police station. The proprietor of the hall insisted that the men bo allowed to hold their meeting, and this was done. Various speakers said that tho object of the meeting was to devise some means to find employment, and that they had intended no harm to the hall in the’first place. They said that many of their families were starving. They demanded employment from the Government, that they might live. Resolutions were passed condemning the police for their conduct, and asserting that they were peaceably disposed; that they want work and must have it: and warning workingmen to be prepared in tho future to resist the police more effectually. ITALIAN'S BY THOUSANDS. Tho Exodus to This Country Is Increasing and Unchecked. Over 1,030 emigrants have left Italy for this country since the outbreak of cholera in JSaples, and 42,000 immigrants have come from Italy this year. According to the official returns 75 per cent, of tho immigrants who come to this country from Southern Italy can neither read nor write, and they are largely of a class described in a recent dispatch from Naples who “hide their sick under beds,” believing that cholera is the result of the upper classes trying to poison the lower, in order to reduce the population. Considering the fact that Bradstreet reports that over 1,000,000 men have been thrown out of employment in this country in two months, and that thousands are crying for bread, it seems extraordinary that we should allow these people to come hero and take the bread from tho mouths of our own people.

IN THE HANDS OF RECEIVERS. The Northern Pacific Railway Snccmnho to the Financial Stringency. Thomas F. Oakes, of New York, H. W. Payne, of Milwaukee, ami Henry C. Rouse, president of the Missouri, Kansas ami Texas railroad, were appointed receivers of thiuNorthern;Paclfic road in the United States Court, at New York, Tuesday. Vice-President James B. Williams* of the Northern Pacific, makes this statement; “In consequence of the extraordinary depression of business, the Northern Pacific Railroad Company has been forced to acquiesce in the application for the appointment of receivers. The falling off in earnings is owing to several causes. The money stringency prevents the marketing of crops cattle and products of all kinds, consequently the road is not getting the traffic usual to this season of the year. The failure of banks has tied mp money upon which we depended for cash. Payment of bond interest under such circumstances could have beemcarried out only by borrowing money and increasing the floating debt, which would have entailed heavy sacrifices upon the bond and stockholders of the company. The receivership means, therefore, the preservation of the property 'and a conservation of all Interests until better times. TRAIN’S INCOME. He Has *13 a Week, and That !• All n* Wants, Ged. B. Bemiss, Mayorof Omaha, nephew and at one time private Aretary to George Francis Train, received a characteristic letter from the Citizen, Thursday, inviting him to Chicago and the Pair. The Mayor, discussing it, explained how Train manages to get an income, which has boon a mystery all over the world. “When Train was making money he turned over several thousands to his wifo and daughter. The Citizen’s daughter in that way received at least *300,(MX). She has not forgotten the old man, and gives him an income designated by himself. That income is but 113 a week, 65 being for a room and other little weaknesses. Train says if had $13 a week ho would be bothered to know what to do with the extra dollar.
