which included the last warrant for the payment of the awards of the Conrt of Alabama Claims. On one former occasion Mr. Fairchild 8 srned about one thousand warrants. Toe warrant division of the Treasury is now through with the Work of issuing the warrants for the Alabama judgments, and the acting Secretary of the Treasury has signed them all. but there is a blockade in the office of the Treasurer. The . warrant division has worked its force from 7 o’clock A. M. until 10 P. M. a considerable part of the time since the appropriation became available, and, by this extra work has accomplished what it was feared would require some weeks. But the Treasurer's force has not been required to work extra hours, and as the government does not give the clerks any extra compensation, but deducts every minute from their annual leave that they are late, there is not a great inducement to work extra hours. The Treasurer’s office is fully ten days behind the warrant division in the preparation for the payment of the Alabama warrants, and the current work of the regular appropriation bills is pressing. Owing to the fact that these bills were passed so late this year, the warrant aud accounting officers are unusually busy. The total number of warrants issued on account of the Alabama conrt judgments has been 9.500. They have been issued by the Warrant Division at the rate of over 300 each day since the work began. In addition to the something over 2.000 warrants which Acting Secretary Fairchild signed in two days, he signed in the same time 500 other official papers. He h&8 had an extremely laborious summer, and will undoubtedly welcome some relief on the return of Secretary Manning, or the arrival of his successor. The fact that the acting Secretary of the Treasury has been compelled to sigu his name to 2,000 warrants on two successive days has caused some of the friends of Secretary Manning to inquire whether it will be possible for him to return to his desk and do the merely manual work, in the way of attaching his signature to ail warrants for the payment of money, as required by law. It is evident that Mr. Manning will not have the physical strength to do this, and the wonder is why the law which requires it is not modified. But Mr. Manning can return to his duty and be the actual although not the nominal head of the Treasury, and not perform this merely perfunctory routine clerical work. Secretary Folger, in the latter part of his administration, was compelled to resort to this plan, and, although in the city, and at his office, he was constructively absent, and an assistant secretary retained his position as acting Secretary, and signed all the warrants and papers of that sort, while the Secretory himself acted as tho consulting bead of the depart, ment. The law which requires the Secretary of the Treasury to sign in person all of a certain class of papers was passed before the United States was as great a nation as it is. and before the Treasury Department had to transact tho business for 50.000.000 people. It is possible that Congress will be asked to pass a law appointing an assistant to sign warrants for the Secretary, just as it became necessary some years ago to authorize a secretary for the President to sign land patents in his name. The theory of the signature by the Secretary of the Treasury is that he examines all warrant's for the payments of money. The prictice is that he examines none of them.

SPECIAL ENVOY SEDGWICK. The Secretary of State Grows Angry Over the Antics of His Pet Diploinate. Washington Special. Amusement was caused to-day by a City of Mexico dispatch sayiag that Special Envoy Sedgwick had been much chagrined by the receipt of a dispatch from Secretary Bayard peremptorily instructing him to proceed to Chihuahua. Notwithstanding its frequent protestations regarding Sedgwick’s ability to keep sober, the State Department is said to have become alarmed at his whole-souled participation in Mexican hospitality. Every day a report comes of some dinner in his honor. Though Mr. Sedgwick promised his Mexican friends to return and take part in the festivities, of Independence Day, wheu a grand ball is to be given in honor of President Diaz, it is not likely he will be permitted to do so. Peremptory instructions will probably fetch him home as soon as he gets through the investigation at Chihuahua and Paso del Norte. When he returns there will be much cariosity to learn the nature of his report One of the many equivocal tales of the State Department has been that Sedgwick was not a special envoy at all, but merely a messenger sent out to gather facts, and that bis report to Secretary Bayard would be a verbal one. If this proves to be the case the mission will turn out even more ridiculous than has been supposed. Sedgwick Makes More Trouble. St. Louis Republican. There is no room left to doubt that Consulgeneral Porch has been guilty of a very serious indiscretion in the Sedgwick affair. Even had Mr Sedgwick been convicted of all that was charged against him it would have been highly improper for Mr. Porch to attend a public meeting to denounce him, and it seems to us that in allowing the publication of a telegram addressed to the Department of State accusing a fellow diplomate of gross misconduct and demanding his recall he has transgressed the rules of diplomatic decency. The publication has caused serious embarrassment to the State Department, and it will be more than can be expected of forbearance if the offense is overlooked. MINOR MATTERS. Plenty of Cheap Patriots Who Wish to Settle Washington Irving’s Three-Cent Debt. Washington Special. The late Washington Irving seems to have lots of friends. Three persons have already forwarded to the treasury the 3 cents charged Against Irving ou the register’s books, and it is more than likely that the smallness of the amount of indebtedness will invite many more cheap patriots to contribute towards its extinguishment. It is remarked that no one has yet volunteered to pay any of the accounts that run •up to a dollar and over, no matter how distinguished the debtor is. When Washington Irving went out of the Spanish mission he owed the government $52.75. In writing a check to meet it he inadvertently made the amount $52.72. Nothing was said about it when the check was received at the Treasury Department, but ever since he has beep carried on its books as a debtor in the sum of 3 cents. This is the character of the majority of the alleged shortages, and indicates how silly the Democratic campaign committee is to get up such stuff as evidence of Republican malfeasance and corruption. Mail Service Benefit Association. Washington, Sept. B. —At to-dav’a session of the convention of tho United States Railway Mail-service Mutual Benefit Association, a graded system for death dues was adopted. M. A. Buttericks, the president, was unanimously reelected. The offices of secretary and treasurer having been consolidated, Mr. S. K Baughman, of Camp Point, 11L, the present secretary, was elected secretary and treasurer. The following vice-presidents were elected: First division, E. M. Cbamplin. New York city; second. E. B. McKee, New York city; third, George M. Carr, Richmond, Va.; fourth, S. L. Collins, Jackson, Tenn.; fifth, W. F. Hitt, Indianapolis; sixth, J. M. Hubbard, Chicago; seventh, George H. C'smpbell, St. Louis; eighth, J. L. Wilder, San Francisco; Nirth, W. W. Allen. Batavia, N. Y. The following were elected members of the board of directors: Second division, S.

Strgent, Chicago, and William Meredith, Chisago. The board of directors will select an executive committee from their own members. The convention selected Detroit as the next place of meeting. Relics of the War. \\ ashington Special. The Treasury Department has nearly completed an inventory of tho valuables in the Treasury taken by tho government during the war, which Congress authorized the Secretary to return to the lawful owners if they can be found. In one box there are 590 wallets, mostly taken 'rom prisoners of war who dted in hospitals.

These are without mnch intrinsic value. There is a great deal of silverware and jewelry, some of which is very valuable. General Notes. Washington, Sept. B.— The Comptroller of the Currency has appointed Anthony W. Steet, of Council Bluffs, la., receiver of the First National Bank, of Blair, Neb. Daniel W. Atwood, of Ohio, a principal examiner in the Pension Office, has resigned. A man named Jacob Coaster was arrested at the Whito House to-day and sent to the insane asylum. He claimed to be the emperor of all America, and demanded admittance to the White House as its lawful occupant. He ordered 4he door-keeper to eo to the Treasury and bring him $30,000,000. He is an Englishman and only recently came to this city. He had in his possession seventy-one Bank of England notes. LABOR MATTERS. The Clothing Cutters’ Strike Ended—Charges Against the Knights of Labor. New York, Sept. B.—The executive committee of the Clothing Manufacturers’ Association to-day received a formal notice from the arbitration committee of District Assembly No. 49, Knights of Labor, notifying them that their proposition has been accepted, and the strike officially declared off in the two factories where the trouble beean. The manufacturers then, by a resolution, declared the lockout at an end. The men are to go to work to day, as individuals. The non-union men will be retained by the manufacturers. This is a defeat for the Clothing Cutters’ Union. Muoh feeling exists among the union men against the District Assembly, who, they declare, has sold them out in the same way as the Progressive Cigar Makers. The British Trades-Union Congress. Hull, Sept. B.—The British trades-union congress to-day adopted resolutions declaring it to be the duty of the state to provide for the official election expenses of regular candidates for Parliament, and that it is the duty of the state to pay salaries to members of the House of Commons. The congress also proposed that xhe workingmen of Great Britain and Ireland form a fund for use pending governmental action on the subjects of the resolutions, enable candidates representing the industrial interests to enter contests for seats in the House of Commons and to support themselves while sitting in Parliament. A labor electoral committee was formed, composed of fourteen members. Strike of Railway Brakemen. Youngstown. 0., Sept B.—To-day all the yard brakemen and conductors in the Pittsburg & Western railroad yard here struck for an advance of 20 per cent. Superintendent Johnson notified the yardmaster to advance the conductors’ pay, but refused the brakemen. Brakemen were sent here to take the strikers’ places, but the latter met them at the depot and persuaded them not to go to work. Yard business is blocked, to tbe great inconvenience of the road. Printers’ Protective Fraternity. Leavenworth, Kan., Sept. B.—At the second day’s session of the National Printer’s Protective Fraternity convention CharlesW. Edwards, of Wilmington, Del., and W. A. McDonald, of Kansas City, were appointed as organizers. The next meeting of the fraternity will be held in Kansas City in March next.

A Big Lift for Birmingham. Birmingham, Ala., Sept. B.—One million dollars of the stock of the Pratt Coal and Iron Company has been sold to John H. Inman and others, of New York, and Nathaniel Baxter and A. M. Shook. The company has thelargestbituminous coal mines in the world. Nineteen-twentieths of the stock is owned, besides the persons named, by Enoch Ensley, T. T. Hillman, John H. Inman, Nathan Baxter and A. M. Shook, of Tennessee. The company to-day determined to expend $1,000,000 in the erection of four furnaces and Bessemer steel works at the town of New Pittsburg, six miles from Birmingham. Three more coal mines are also to be opened- This assures to the Birmingham district within a radius of ten miles, twenty large hot blast coke furnaces, seven of which are now in blast, one repairing and twelve in process of erection. Besides these, the Pratt company will also make a steel experiment with $2,000,000 capital at their new town of Bessemer City, ten miles south of Birmingham. The President at Saranac Inn. Saranac INn, N. Y., Sept. 8. —Little has been done by the members of the President’s party to-day beside resting comfortably in the shade and recovering from tbe fatigue of their long carriage drive. Toward sundown the President's guide persuaded him to make a trip to Turtle Pond, in the belief that a salmon trout or two might be beguiled into taking the hook. For once guide Crouk’s predictions were not verified. Trout no longer rise to tbe fly, aud trolling will continue to yield unsatisfactory results so long as the water i3 as warm as it now is. Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Folsom busied themselves in tbe afternoon in affixing their autographs to the birch bark albums of the ladies whose acquaintance they have made at Saranac Inn. If the necessary arrangements can be completed, a deer hunt will probably take place here this week, the President and his friends stationing themselves at the various lakes between here aud Paul Smith’s. ■■■■■■—— National Telephone Association. St. Louis, Sept. 8. —At the convention of the National Telephone Association to-day, the officers of the present year were re-elected to serve for the ensuing year, except that Henry Metzger, of Pittsburg, was substituted as vice-presi-dent for G. F. Durant, of this city, and Mr. Metzger also was elected on the advisary board in placeof B. E. Sunny, of Chicago. The following executive committee was elected: AV. D. Sargeant, of Brooklyn; R. M. Bailey, of Williamsport. Pa.; George M. Stone, of Cincinnati; J. W\ Kellar, of Boston. Thomas D. Lockwood, of Boston, read a paper on the protection of exchanges against intense electric currents, and C. H. Barney, the secretary, presented some statistics. A paper was read, “Legislation of the Past Year," and some unimportant business transacted. At 2 o’clock the association went to Crystal City on invitation of the Bell Telephone Company of Missouri. Arrest of Suspected Postolflce Robbers. Cedar Rapids, la., Sept B.—lnspector Darbellay to-day caused the arrest of L. J. Sullivan, alias Sheridan, and Charles Wyman for comSlicity in the postoffice robberies at Minneapolis, Torthwood and Gordonville, Minn. Sullivan’s valise contained a lot of burglar drills and minute profiles showing the arrangement of various kinds of safes. When arrested he attempted to tear a card of Maloney & Thorning, of No. 198 LaSalle street, Chicago, on the back of which was a diagram of a safe lock, drills, and mode of operating. In the valise were found letters which, the inspector says, will absolutely establish guilt Sullivan was shot in an attempt to rob the postoffice at Elk River, Minn., some years ago, and served four years at Stillwater. The prisoners will be taken to Dubuque to morrow for examination. Martin Irons Fined for Drunkenness. Kansas Crrr, Mo.. Sept B.— ; ‘Martin Irons, you are charged with being intoxicated; guilty or not guiltv?” There, among a score or more of dejected-looking specimens of humanity, stood Martin Irons, the great labor leader, in the Recorder’s Court, this forenoon, arraigned for being drunk. He was arrested at tbe corner of Fifth and Main streets last night “I am not guilty of the charge, and have not the means to contest it,” and then, after a pause, “Guilty” was the answer. He was inarched down again to the cell which he occupied all last night, and at 10 o’clock he was liberated, aud walked awav with a friend, who cam© to liis rescue and paid the fine of $5.50. Another Sam Jones Job. St. Joseph, Mo., Sept. B.—The corner-stone of the Y. M. C. A. building in this city, was laid yesterday. This is the first building of its kind erected in Missouri. The funds were raised during the Sam Jonescamn-meeting a year ago, and the structure will cost $35,000. Cure that frightful cough with a few dotes of Red Star Cough Cure. Twenty-five cents.

OCT-POOR SPORTS. Games Played Yesterday by League and American Association Ball Clubs.

Tbe fielding of both teamß was good, and the pitchers made the eame. Flynn made a better record than Keefe. The visitors were unable to hit the junior pitcher for anythine but a single, and only seven of these. Three thousand people were present The game was called at the end of the seventh inning on account of darkness. Score: Chicago O 1 2 2 0 3 I—9 New York 0 0 O 1 0 2 I—4 Runs earned —ChicatJ, 2.

Detroit, Sept B.—The home club slugged terrifically to-day, making nineteen hits, for a total of thirty-three bases, while the visitors were held down to six hits. There were several fine plays, notably Hanlon’s one-banded catch of Carroll's lone hit in the third, for which he had to jump. The game was very one-sided and uninteresting. Detroit has sold Catcher Decker and the recently-secured-and-never-tried pitcher, O’Dav, to Washington. Score: Detroit 3 1 2 4 1 6 3 1 21 Washington 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0— 2 Earned runs —Detroit, 12.

B.—The Maroons knocked Casey out of the box to day in the first inning, after five clean hits, with a total of six bases and three runs, were made. Daily took the box, and, though hit hard, was well supported. The Maroons outplayed the Philadelphias, and played superbly throughout, their hitting and fielding being very fine. The battery work of Ilealy and Myers and Glasscock’s hitting were the best featnres of the game. The attendance was fully 3,500. Score: St, Louis 3 0 0 0 0 2 1 0 o—6 Philadelphia O 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 o—20 —2 Runs earned—St. Louis, 4: Philadelphia, none. Two-base hits—Glasscock, Denny, Cahill.

B.—Eleven thousand people gathered at Recreation Park, this afternoon, to witness the two games between the Pittsburg and St. Louis teams. The crowd extended around the field and encroached so much upon tne players that a rule was made that no hit should count for more than two bases. St. Louis won both games. In the first game they sized up Morris’s delivery, and seemed to hit him at will. In the second game Handiboe, whose arm has been sore for several weeks, broke down in the second inning, and Whitney took his place. The visitors played strongly at all points, while the work of the home team was spiritless. Score of first game: Pittsburg 2 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 o—4 St. Louis 1 3 0 0 2 0 2 0 8 Earned runs —Pittsburg. 3; St. Louis, 4. Twobase hits—Barkley, Smith, Miller, Latham, O’Neill.

Base hits —Pittsourg, 5; St. Louis, 11. Errors—Pittsburg. 1; St. Louis, 4. Philadelphia, Sept. B,—The Brooklyns whitewashed the Athletics in fine style, to-day, by hard batting and faultless fielding. The home team got only two men beyond first, one of whom was thrown out at the plate, and the other left on third. Swartwood’s batting and Smith's fielding were the features. The Athletics played loosely in the field, and O’Brien’s work behind the bat was extremely careless. Score: Athletics 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 o—o Brooklyn 0 3 0 0 1 0 2 0 * —6 Earned run—Brooklyn.

The visitors had a good chance to win in the last inning, but failed to bat at the proper time. AVolf’s two great running catches were the feature.

CHIEF ARTHUR SUSTAINED. The Locomotive Engineers Approve the Course Pursued by the Head of the Order. Scranton (Pa.) Special. A union meeting of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, attended by about five hundred members of that organization, was held here at the Academy of Music. Special train* from New York. Philadelphia and Buffalo broueht large delegations of the order to Scranton during the forenoou, and immediately upon their arrival a business session was held at which matters of importance to the brotherhood were discussed. The animadversions of certain members of the Knights of Labor upon Chief Engineer Arthur and the brotherhood during the strike in the Southwest called forth a spirited discussion, which resulted in the unanimous adoption of the following resolution offered by Nat Sawyer, of Division No. 145, and seconded by George H. Vantassall, third grand assistant engineer: Resolved, That we, as the* representatives of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, assembled in union meeting in the city of Scranton, Pa,, .'-unday, Sept. 5, 1886. do at this time express to our Grand Chief Engineer. P. M. Arthur, our strong and decided approval of his action during the reoent labor troubles in the West and Southwest, regardless of the statement of the labor demagogues to the contrary, viz.: •That the brotherhood did not approve of his actions.” We desire to say to him: ‘‘Continue in the future as you have in the past, as every act of yours has given entire satisfaction to every loyal member and wellwisher of the brotherhood. We adhere strictly to your agreements with the several companies. Carry out to the letter the compact, and if the agreement is broken let it not be said you were the first to break it. Do vour duty regardless of the threat or intimidations in existence, ever remembering our motto, ‘We amalgamate with none.’ ” Soon after the union meeting of the Brotherhood a public meeting was held, at which the principal address was delivered by Grand Chief Engineer Arthur, who sketched the origin and growth of the organization. He said that much had been heard in the past year about labor organizations in this country, and that a good deal of prejudice existed against such societies. He was sorry tor say that much of the prejudice was deserved, but he wished it to be emphatically understood that there was a distinction between the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and all other organizations. While he believed in organized labor, he also believed that capital had rights wnich are entitled to as much respect as labor. There were two sides to the question, and both should realize the important fact that their interests are identical. He described the first meeting of five engineers, at which the foundation ot the present great organization was laid, with ‘-Sobriety, Truth. Justice and Morality” as its motto. Now, the brotherhood has 321 subdivisions, with a membership of 20,000. In the past seventeen years it has paid nearly $2,000,000 to widows and orphans, and another $500,000 to the needy and destitute. At present, ne said, the brotherhood was on the best of terms with the railroad companies of the country, and its principal aim was to settle all such disputes as might arise amicably. Labor and capital should reason together in disposing of their differences. He said that had it not been for the fact that the brotherhood had a written contract with the companies it would have been impossible to hold the men duriug the strike on the Gould system. A written contract with the brotherhood was regarded as sacred, and would be kept inviolate. Any organization could not expect to succeed that resorted to the pistol, the torch and the bludgeon. The employers as well as the employed should observe the golden rule. Addresses were also made by Congressman Scranton and Mayor Ripple. The Tiraes’e representative called, on Chief Arthur this evening, at his hotel, and asked what were the circumstances which prompted the adoption of the pointed resolution of confidence in the Grand Chief. Mr. Arthur said: ‘ The organization known as the Knights of Labor found fault with the position we took during the trouble in the Southwest. They were anxious to have our men join them in the strike, and we advised the members of the Brotherhood to abstain from that strike, and do nothing that did not properly belong to them as locomotive engineers. This gave offense to some Knights of Labor. and led them to censure me severely as the head of the organization. It became necessary for me then to explain to our men what I said and did during that trouble, and they have indorsed my action and pledged me their support in the future. I have always advised members of the brotherhood to keep aloof from other organizations. believing it to be to their best interests to do so. Strenuous~efforts were made in various localities to get our men to join the Knights of Labor. They were threatened and persecuted and every effort was made to get them to join the Knights in the Southwestern strike, but I constantlv advised them not to do it, not that I had anything against the Knights of Labor, but because I wanted our men to carry out the original policy of the order and form no alliance whatever with any other labor organization.” Mr. Arthur said he regarded General Master Workman Povrderly as*an honorable man, and thought if the Knights of Labor carried out the principles advocated by him they could accomplish a great deal of good.

SHE THREW HIM OVERBOARD. no Was Good Enough to Elope With, but She Fonnd Bigger Fry Out West. Cheyenue Special. Ono of the conductors on the overland road tells of a queer customer that he had for a passenger the other day. The man was a New Englander of middle age, who had been in the West long enough to get a pretty good idea of the country, and he was Eastward bound, not for the purpose of settling down but to secure a wife, he having picked out one by letter, as he said when speaking on the subject. "You see,” he told the conductor in one of their confidential conversations, “the West is no place for an eloping woman. 1 had one of that kind. In fact, that was the reason I happened to go West. I’d been farming in Connecticut for a good manv years, over since I was a boy, and the wife of a friend of mine and I got to smiling on each other, and the first thing I knew she was suggesting that we skip for the West. She had some money of her own and was a smart woman, and as I had always hank ered after a little Western adventure, I concluded to join in. Now, stranger, to tell you the truth, I’ve had more adventure than I counted on. In the first place, the woman’s husband got on our trail and clung to it for ail of one wiuter, and in the next place I lost the woman. “When we got out hero I wanted to get a farm somewhere and settle down, but she wouldn’t do it. We went to Idaho prospecting, and before we had been there a month the madam’s head began to swell. Women are very scarce up there, and it didn’t take my woman vert long to find it cut. While I was only a plain sort of farmer-man, she pretty soon discovered that there were judges, colonels, bonanza kings, sil-ver-mine owners and big ranchers who were liable to want wives, and, by craekey, mister, sho had lit out with a colonel before I knew it. They got married, too. Well, I didn’t have much business on hand, and I thought I’d just chase them. So I followed. When I caught them, in Helena, what do you suppose she said to me? She said, said she: “ ‘You are good enough to elope with from Connecticut, but you are small potatoes and few in a hill out here. I'm only taking advantage of the opportunities which anew and growing country offers.’ “After that I let her alone. You see, she was just cute enough to see that, being on the ground, she could marry in great shape if she wanted to, and so she threw me overboard. She’s rich now, and will make a big splurge in the East some day. But what I wanted to say to you is: Don’t bring any eloping women out here. If they elope once, they’ll do it again, and there’s altogether too big a premium on them in this section. The young woman I'm going back after now is forty-one years old, has never been married, and has taught a Sunday-school class thirty years.” Belief and Practice. Chicaeo Tribune. “Do you believe a public office is a public trust?' inquired a seedy-looking man who went into a saloon on the West Side and addressed the barkeeper with portentous solemnity the other evening. “I certainly do,” said the dispenser of cocktails. “lam glad to find you in accord with the principles held by the official head of the great political party to which I belong," rejoined the seedy party, approaching the bar. “I am one of the highway commissioners of the township where I live, and have held the office for eleven years. Being unexpectedly detained in the city this evening, and finding myself rather short of ready

cash. 1 have been compelled to fall back upon my long official career as a basis for some trifling business accommodations. As you have just said, a public officer is entitled to public trnst, and I would therefore ask for about three fiogers of old rye on trust On my return home I will immediately remit—” The highway commissioner was fired out of the saloon in less time than it takes to empty a Bulgarian throne, and another historic utterance of the administration had gone into innocuous desuetude. - Will It Pay? When the friends of prohibition shall have gratified ambition, and sunk, to inanition in the cool November days. Having nothing for their picking, except a wholesome licking, and their consciences a pricking, they will wonder if it pays. Asa straight and plumb transaction, to assist the whisky faction in its system of detraction of a party strong and pure— In the garb of reformation to have stabbed their blood relation and defeated regulation of the ills they cannot cure. —Pittsburg Commercial Gazette. Public Sentiment in Temperance Legislation. Atlanta Letter. Mr. J. G. Thrower, “the Apostle of Temperance,” who organized the Good Templars in Georgia twenty years ago, and who has been a patient but persistent worker ever since, was asked by me to state his plan for fighting liquor. He said: “Mv plan is to fight it by a thorough and systematic education of the people—to educate them up to prohibition. It is useless to pass a prohibition law until the people are ready for it. If they will not vote a law upon themselves, they will not demand the enforcement of a law that is arbitrarily put upon them by outsiders, and the enforcement of a liquor law depends upon the local authorities. If a majority of the people of a county vote that liquor shall not be sold in their county, it is their law, and they can see that it is enforced, and they will do it. You cannot ram prohibition down the throats of any people. The sale is prohibited now in 108 counties in Georgia, Andi believe in five years there will not be a legalized dram-shop in the State. When I came here, twenty years ago, I gave whisky twenty-five years to live, and you see what has been done in four-fifths ©f that time.” Not a Yankee. Detroit Tribune, * Chief-justice Smith, of Arkansas, who is stopoing for the summer at the Crawford House, Windsor, has with him his family. Fanny, his youngest daughter, is a bright, pretty miss, who has made many friends in the hotel. Among them are some children of about her own age. # “Where do you live?” asked one of them the other day. “In Little Rock,” was her surprised answer, and with the inflection and accent of one who had seldom been out of Little Rock. “Where is that?” persisted the geographically ignorant and persistent friend. • “Little Rock, Arkansaw, United States, Amehicah,” very decisively. “Why, then you’re a Yankee!” “Look a heah,” was Miss Fanny’s quick, impatient answer; “yon doan know. I’m not a Yankee”—with indescribable scorn—“We’se all Demochats down thah.” Losses by Fire. Cleveland, 0., Sept. B.—The Riverside glass works, at Wellsburg, W. Va., burned to-day. Loss, $50,000; insurance, $36,000. Three hundred men and boys are thrown out of employment by the fire. St. Joe, Mo., Sept B.—A private dispatch from Beatrice, Neb., reports a disastrous fire there this morning. It originated in the basement of G. R. Scott’s dry-goods store, whoso loss will be $20,000 on stock. M. S. Woobach loses on building $15,000; M. B. Thrift, hardware stock, $2,000; E. M. Lyons, dry goods, $1,000; Daily Democrat office, SI,OOO. Several frame buildings were pulled down to check the conflagration. Scott and Lyons are insured. A Friday Year. Springfield Republican. ' The St. James Gazette thus accumulates horrors: “Eighteen hundred and eighty-six began on a Friday, will end on a Friday and conlaius fiftythree Fridays. Four months in the year have five Fridays. Five changes of the moon oegur on a Friday, and both the longest and shortest days in the twelve months are on Fridays. This might, indeed, be termed a Friday year.” If only four months contained five Fridays, there would be but fifty-two in the year. The fact is that five months have five Fridays each. Yet the earthquake picked another day.

Terrible Death of Richard Hoff. Chicago, Sept. B. —Bichard Hoff, jr., twenty years old, whose father is a member of the firm of Flannigan & Hoff, pork-packers, and employed in the hog-killing room, was at the scrapingtable, this morning, and reached forward to release a carcass that had stopped on the incline plane. This brought his long leather apron in the way of a rapidly revolving wheel, and it was caught between the rim and an endless chain which the wheel carried. He was flung up to the ceiling and forced several times through a narrow aperture. His head was found to be beaten to a jeily and all his limbs broken when the lifeless remains were removed. Morosini’s Higli-Priced Daughter.
