EVICTION HIOT. Armed Deputies Stoned and Clubbed by Men. Women and Children. PITTSBURG. Sept. 7.~The efforts to evict the striking miners of the Pittsburg and Chicago Gas Coal Company at Orangeville, one and a half miles from Gastonville, resulted in a riot of no mean proportions, and the utter failure on the part of the company to accomplish its object. When the news that the evictions were to be attempted was received the whole vicinity about Flnleytille, Gastonville and Orangeville became wildly excited. About 7 o’clock last night twenty deputies from Washington, Pa., in charge of Chief Deputy Joseph Hemphill, reached Finleyville. where they were met by a large crowd of strikers and their friends. Each deputy Was armed with a Winchester rifle and a revolver, but in spite of this the strikers, headed by one hundred Polish women, closed in on them, and they received rough treatment. They were gradually forced back, and finally retreated to Gastonville, where they were followed by a crowd of about two hundred men ami women. At Gastonville the deputies took refuge in the office of the company, where they were kept ail night, during which the building was bombarded with stones and bricks, and an occasional shot was tired. At 7 o’clock this morning the trouble of the night reached a climax, when the deputies sallied out of their besieged quarters and started to march to Orangeville. Each one carried his Winchester in his hands and his revolver was exposed, but these had no terrors for the besiegers. Headed by the same women, the strikers rushed on the deputies with stones, clubs and pick handles, and blows fell thick and fast. One of the big women wrested the rifle from a deputy's hands and struck him on the head with it. inflicting a serious injury. By this time one thousand men, women and children had joined the crowd. They came from Venetia, Snowden, Calamity and Finieyville. The deputies slowly made their way to Orangeville, receiving all sorts of it suits and injuries, but never firing a shot. They finally took refuge in a vacant house, closely followed by the mob, which quickly surrounded the building and threatened to burn it. Finally one of the strikers approached the house with a flag of truce and a conference was held. The deputies were ordered to leave the town, and after a short parley decided to do so. They emerged from the house a badly frightened lot of men, and, walking between the opened ranks of the strikers, started for Gastonville. Almost every man in the posse was cut and bleeding, and several were seriously hurt. One had his right hand almost severed by a sharp stone. As the defeated deputies ran the gantlet they were greeted with hisses, curses and ridicule. The strikers then closed behind them and marched them to the station, where they took the train for Washington. After their departure the mob dispersed and everything is quiet now. The officials of the company say no further attempt will be made to evict the miners for the present. The striking miners who were encamped at Irwin left for their homes to-day and abandoned their camp. The strikers said they were satisfied to take 65 cents, and will go to work. All the men of the Westmoreland and Pennsylvania Gas Coal Company were at work to-day. At Herminie the miners are actw’ly on the point of starvation. Tney were receiving 62 cents, and voted to remain at work. The strikers from the river marched to Hermine and got the men out. The Berwind W’hite Company then closed dow’n its mine, fenced in its pits and shipped its mules to Clearfield. The miners are now out of work and out of money, and their condition is serious. They have begged the company to open the mine and let them return to work at the old price, but the company has not yet signified its intention of granting the request. About the same condition exists at shaft No. 4. at Sewickley. The men there were receiving 65 cents, and were satisfied. They ■were forced out by the river miners, and the Pennsylvania Company closed the mine and turned the mules out to pasture. Nov/ the men are in want and wish to return to work. Dubois District Strike Ended. DUBOIS, Pa.. Sept. 7.—A settlement of the miners’ strike in this region was practically effected this afternoon. The committee appointed at the convention last week to conduct all negotiations looking towards a settlement met General Manager Robinson here to-day and an article of agreement was signed. The proposition made by Mr. Robinson will be submitted to the miners at the company’s various collieries at a meeting to be held to-morrow, and, If acceptable, work will be resumed at all mines on the 9th. The agreement provides that a committee from the miners go to the Pittsburg region and elsewhere and get fully posted on prices for machine mining and other labor and the company will pay the highest proportionate scale paid in, any competitive region. Resumption means employment cor six thousand miners and one thousand railroad men and a general revival of business throughout the region.

Will Oppose the Agreement. COLUMBUS, 0., Sept. 7.-State President Carson, of Illinois, who is one of the few representatives of the miners on hand to attend the national convention to-morrow, states that he cannot vote to accept the proposed settlement of the strike. He refused to sign the proposition sent out to the miners, and states he cannot do otherwise than oppose the settlement, since the Illinois operators have notified him they will not abide by any agreement that will advance nriccs in that State. The Illinois miners huve no hop© except in x local strike, and that would be disastrous if work was resumed in other States. President Carson thinks that if the agreement is accepted bv the miners the action of the Illinois operators will soon force a reduction in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Deputies anil Strikers Clash. HAZLETON, Pa., Sept. 7.—Sheriff Martin, of Luzerne county, with a number of deputies, to-day routed about fifty strikers, who were planning a descent upon the workmen at Cranberry colliery. The strikers in the meantime formed in line ready to march, but Organizer John Fahey stopped them and read the sheriff's proclamation prohibiting such demonstration. After arguing with the men for some time he persuaded them to return to their homes. The strikers this afternoon stole a march on the deputies and drove the workmen away from the Lattimer and Erbervale collieries. When the deputies arrived they chased the strikers into camp, keeping up a running fire. To-night the miners are holding meetings in all towns of the district and the end of the strike seems as distant as ever. How Miner* Are Robbed. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SHELBURN, Ind., Sept. 7.—A mass meeting of the miners was called at Hymera Sunday to take action in regard to calling out the ten men working at Hymera mine until the company paid the money due them since May. The miners at the above mine l ave been duped several times by this mining company, and when the strike came the miners were xiut demanding their pay. Since that time another company has assumed control of the mine and offered to pay the miners about one-third the amount due if the miners would resume work. But this proposition has been rejected by the miners,- as they say they cannot live on promises. Indiana Miner* and the Agreement. President Knight, of the United Mine Workers of Indiana, passed through the city yesterday on his way to Columbus to participate in the conference there. He declared that the interests of the Indiana miners would be well taken care of in the agreement and that the rate for this State would probably be 56 cents for bituminous and 66 cents for block.

EX-TREASURER IS SHORT YV. E. HEAD. OF MARION, MISMANAGED SEVERAL THINGS, More Greensburg Failures Result of First National’s Collapse—Dubois County Murder. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARION, Ind., Sept. 7.—Ex-County Treasurer William E. Heal, who was found to be short about $1,400, and afterwards short about th’e same amount as representative cf the Union Mutual Building and Loan Association, of Indianapolis, is again caught for about the same amount as representative of the Homestead Building and Loan Association of this city. What became of the money he does not stare, but admits that the shortage will amount to a ~ out t * ie sum indicated. Both the former affairs were kept comparatively quiet, the missing funds being accounted for by his bondsmen and otherwise, but it does not appear now this is to be settled. The financial troubles of the man always implieity trusted in this city is attributed by his friends more to mismanagement than anything else. Heal’s specialty is mathematics. He had an argument through the newspapers last winter with Dr. Good win, whose formula for squaring the circle came nt'ar passing the Legislature. Mr. Heal is known to mathematici ans by reason of his contributions to mathematical magazines in this country and in Europe. His fall as county treasurer was a great surprise to the people of Grant county and elsewhere where >re was known, ami this third lapse is regretted by many friends who had trusted him for years ANOTHER MAN’S WIFE < a used Edward Statesman to De Shot to Death at Duff Tillage. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HL NTINGBURG, Ind., Sept. 7.—A sensational murder occurred at Duff, a village five miles west of Huntingburg, last evening. Edward Stutesman, a young farmer, was fatally shot by William Solomon, a resident of the village, for persisting in paying attentions to Solomon's wife. For a year past Stutesman has been calling on Mrs. Solomon whenever the husband was absent, and Solomon had repeatedly warned Stutesman to keep away. Yesterday while Solomon was absent from the village Stutesman again called on the woman. Learning of this on his return Solomon armed himself with a revolver and started in search of Stutesman, whom he found at Hoffman’s store. He accused him of calling on his wife, and when Stutesman denied the accusation Solomon drew his revolver and fired twice. One ball grazed the left forearm and the other centered Stuteman’s abdomen and lodged in the spinal column, producing a fatal wound. He died this morning. Solomon has not been arrested, and is still at his home in Duff. The general opinion in the neighborhood is that the shooting was justifiable. Last fall Stutesman and Mrs. Solomon eloped to Petersburg, where they stopped at a hotel and registered as man and wife. Solomon followed, and had them arrested on the charge of adultery. They were found guilty and sentenced to jail, Stutesman serving 120 days and the woman sixty days. Stutesman was also in jail at Jasper,‘after his release at the Petersburg jail, on the same charge, but at the time of shooting he was out on bond to appear at the next therm of court. Stutesman was a married man and the father of two children, but he and his wifo have not lived together for over a year.

♦•Rucking” nn Injunction. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MORRISTOWN, Ind., Sept. 7.—Another chapter has been added to the trouble concerning the street grading since the article in Sunday’s Journal. An injunction was granted by Judge Buchingham on application of Charles T. Williams, president of the Union State Bank, and there was some flaw in the manner in which it was served. Judge K. M. Hord, counsel for the Town Board, came up from Shelbyville and advised the board and contractor to commence work, which they did. Then the other side had the sheriff come up and order the work stopped. This order was obeyed, but the board erected fences across the streets, shutting up some of the main business houses, including the Union State Bank. In so doing they nave shut off the Freeport star mail route, and as the mail carrier is not compelled to go by any different route he could cause them some trouble. The board has been ordered to appear before Judge Buckingham at Franklin next Saturday to show cause for not granting a permanent restraining order. C. T. Williams has filed suit for $2,01)0 damages against the town, and many other suits may follow. Eight Convicts Paroled. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind., Sept. 7.—The Board of Managers of the Indiana Reformatory returned home to-day, having completed the work of the regular monthly session. Eight applications for parole were favorably acted on out of forty-one. Walter Pierce, who killed his brother while the latter was assisting in a charivari, and was sentenced for two years for manslaughter, was one of the paroled. He had just been married, and was greatly disturbed by the members of the party, who were bent on giving himself and bride a “belling.” They carried the matter too far. and Pierce, becoming exasperated, seized a shotgun and fired out of the window. The shot took effect in the head of his brother, killing him instantly. Howard Warner was sent from Indianapolis. He is a member of a prominent Rochester (N. Y.) family, and is in the last stages of consumption. He was paroled to allow him to go home to die.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MONTPELIER. Ind., Sept. 7.—The Diamond Oil Company’s property on the Godfry reserve has proven a little Klondike. Six months ago the discoveries were made, which created great excitement to the producers of Indiana and western Ohio. Every acre in the reserve was taken at good figures and a number of wells were put down, hut the pool did not extend beyond the Diamond Company’s limits. Last month tne production was nearly 1,000 barrels. While the Peru, Alexandria and Broad Ripple fields are being spoken of as good producers, the property on the Godfrey reserve promises to be as good as any in the State. The company has made fourteen locations and has drilled in ten wells. The tenth was finished Saturday, and is showing for a good well. This is not located in the vicinity of the larger wells. There are three more new wells to be drilled near the gushers. One well, which was drilled April 10, is now making six and one-half feet, and is probably the best well in Indiana.

PEACE IS NOW ASSURED -- 1 - ♦ GRAECO-TURKISH QUESTION TO BE SETTLED ON THURSDAY. - British Indignant Over a Proposition from Salisbury T 1 t Is Said to Have Benefited Germany. LONDON, Sept. 7.—The Graeco-Turkish question now promises to be settled without further delay. Yesterday G. eece abandoned her opposition to the demands of Germany for control of the Greek finances. This action was followed by the announcement that the Marquis of Salisbury had submitted fresh proposals for the maintenance of permanent peace between Turkey and Greece, namely, the constitution of an l international commission representing the six powers, under whose control Greece shall pay her revenues guaranteeing the interest to the holders of old bonds and to the holders of the bonds of the indemnity loan, this step to be followed by the prompt evacuation of Thessaly by the Turkish troops. This proposal has been accepted by the powers. The Salisbury proposition is generally regarded as a. victory for German diplomacy, and much bitter feeling is displayed in England over the British premier’s backdown. A fresh proposal was what Germany had been holding out for, namely, tjie control of the Greek revenue in the interest of ail the creditors of Greece, as well as for the security of the loan to Greece for the purpose of paying her indemnity to Turkey. The only remaining question is the dates for the payment of the indemnity. The powers desire to insert these dates in the treaty of peace, but the British, embassador, Sir Philip Currie, suggests that they leaves the dates to be determined on by the international commission. The embassadors expect that all the details of the treaty of peace will be settled on Thursday next. British Trades Union Congress. BIRMINGHAM, England, Sept. 7. The Trades’ Union Congress resumed its sessions to-day, with President Stevens in the chair. The latter, in his annual address, said the engineers’ strike was an instance of one of the best organized and powerful combinations in the world being in the throes of a great struggle with a powerful combination of capital. It was certain, he added, that the struggle would be prolonged and that the engineers would have to appeal for help to the trades unionists throughout the country. That help, the president continued, must be given, for under no circumstances could they allow the engineers to be defeated. (Great cheering.) The delegates then unanimously and enthusiastically adopted a special resolution pledging moral and financial aid to the striking engineers. A resolution was also passed in favor of limiting the hours of labor to eight per day in all trades and occupations in the United Kingdom and instructing the parliamentary committee to draft a bill on the lines of the resolution with the view of getting it passed by Parliament and made the law of the country. The Marquis De Bochambeau. PARIS, Sept. 7.—The Marquis de Rochambeau died at the Chateau Rochambe.iu, in the department of Loir-et-Cher, on Sept. 4, after a long and painful illness.

Henry Vignaux, secretary of the American embassy at Paris, who informed the Washington government of the death of the marquis, was then instructed by Secretary of State Sherman to convey to the family of the deceased an expression of sincere sympathy of the Amerie;ui government. Bismarck Talks Again. PARIS, Sept. 7.—The Gaulois to-day prints an interview with Prince Bismarck in which he is quoted as having expressed fear that the efforts made at Feterhoff w r ere so much wasted time. What was required, the ex-chancellor is said to have added, was a serious active agreement with a well-defined programme and muen clearsightedness and tenacity to achieve a result whereby the pretensions of Great Britain could be stayed. The prince is further quoted as sayingr “It is absolutely certain that Germany will not succeed in attaining this end. and she may regret having harassed England too much.” Indian Fanatic* Disheartened. SIMLA, Sept. 7.—The frontier reports are more favorable. They say the Orakzais appear to be disheartened. They lost fifteen men killed in the attack on Fort Gulistan and are now holding councils. The British political officer at Malakand reports the Swatis to be submitting and to be surrendering more guns and swords, which, with the previous surrender of arms and the fines imposed, completes the government's demands and terms for the punishment of the Swati tribes. Berber Evacuated by Dervishes. LONDON, Sept. 7.—A special dispatch from Cairo says that Berber, the next town of importance on the Nile in the advance of the Anglo-Egyptian expedition on Khartoum, has been occupied by Soudanese who are friendly to the British. Berber is only about two hundred miles as the crow Hies from Khartoum. Major General Hunter, with four gunboats, has gone to Berber.

B.—The Times correspondent in Buenos Ayres says the Uruguayan rebels are within a two days’ march of Montevideo. If they make a determined attack, the correspondent says, the capture of the capital would be possible, as the garrison comprises only 2.000 men and there is no system of defense, while a large number of the inhabitants sympathize with the revolutionists. Plenty of Money for India. LONDON, Sept. 7.—The invitation of the India council for tenders of drafts for one crore of rupees (nominally about $5,000,000) produced tenders to-day of 292 lacs of rupees (nominally valued at $14,600,000), at an average rate of Is 4 l-16d.

La'er.—The confession of Harry F. Leadley, the bicyclist, who died here yesterday, has been shown to be a pure fabrication. Leadley was a cigarette fiend, and his strange statements before his death were doubtless the ravings of a mind diseased from that habit. The body of the young man will be buried here. ROCHESTER, N. Y-, Sept. 7.—Leadly was employed in this city by the Monroe County Co-operative Fire Insurance Company. He was not a defaulter. He did not murder Miss Emerson or anybody else so far as can be learned. No woman named Emerson is known to have been murdered in this city at any time. The opinion is universal that Leadly was insane at the time the statements were made. ANOTHER “ROASTER” Warm, Fair Day Predicted by Forecaster Wappenbans.

SHERIDAN’S GRAVE. The General Himself Selected the Site In Arlington Cemetery. Washington Star. “General Sheridan was not the only officer who selected the site for his grave at Arlington,” explained one of the employes of Arlington Cemetery to a reporter, “though that impression prevails very largely. Hundreds of other officers and soldiers have done the same thing, and there are to-day in the books at Arlington records of sites selected by at least fifty ex-officers and ex-soldiers who want to be buried there, which is their right if they desire. All that has to be done is to select the site. The government pays all the expenses of intermentnxent, digs the grave, places a regulation monument on it and keeps the grave in order. Os course, when it is preferred, the regulation monument is not insisted on, and the privilege is allowed of having any kind of monument at the expense of those who are to occupy the graves, or of their family or friends. Nearly all of the army nurses who have been buried at Arlington in the last five or six years have selected their own burial sites, and quite a number of selections have been made by others who expect to rest there. There is frequent inquiry made in regard to the site selected by General Sheridan, and upon which the handsome monument, which is one of tne many attractions of the cemetery, has been placed, from the fact that it is in front of the mansion instead of in the rear or at the side of it, as are the other graves. This is explained by the fact that General Sheridan himself selected it. His reason for selecting it was that that particular point was in full view 7 of his residence in Rhode Island avenue. It is, besides, the only site which can be seen from the west window's or the house w'here his family resides. It was this, rather than that he w r as exclusive in his desires, that caused the selection. Major Gregory, of the engineer corps, who was buried beside him a few weeks ago, then a captain, was at that time on his staff. They w 7 ere together when the site was selected. After General Sheridan, who had selected the site by viewing it from one of the upper rooms of his residence, had indicated it to the superintendent of the cemetery and a record was made of the exact location, Major Gregory remarked in a pleasant way: " 'General, how 7 would you like company?’ “General Sheridan turned to him and replied: ‘Nothing would suit me better, and, if you want tu, I wfill stake out a claim for you, so that we can rest together.’ “ ‘Thank you, general,’ replied Major Gregory, though I am likely to come here first.' Major Gregory was rather unwell that day. though, as it happened, his illness was brief. Immediately General Sheridan turned to the superintendent and said, pointing to the ground: ‘Reserve a place right here for Gregory. We got along very nicely together in life, and I don’t think we will quarrel after death. Anyhow, we are both willing to risk it.’ ” Losses ly Fire. CAIRO, W. Va., Sept. 7.—A fire which started after midnight in the engine room of the Cairo Manufacturing and Lumber Company destioyed it and a half dozen other establishments, including the chief business portion of the town. A number of dwelling houses also burned, and thirty people are homeless. Four loaded cars on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad w T ere burned. Total loss, $50,000. MAGOG, Quebec, Sept. 7.—Fire to-day destroyed five buildings on the east side of Main street and then jumped to the west side. The fire department of this towm was perfectly useless and that of Sherbrooke arrived too late to do any good. The damage will amount to SIOO,OOO. Where Sullivan Would Feel ut Home. Chicago Record.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Inch. Sept. 7.—A1l speculations regarding attendance have been met .and passed by the National Anti-Spiritualist Convention which convened in this city today. Every section of the country is well represented and more interest is being taken than the promoters expected. The citizens of Anderson tendered the delegates a big reception in the largest auditorium in the city to-day and Dr. Eldridge, pastor of the First Methodist Church, delivered the address of welcome, Rev. Dr. Caylor, of Columbus, 0., responding. W. R. Covert, of St. Louis, is occupying the chair, and will probably be elected president at the organization of the National Association of Anti-Spiritualists Thursday. Many noted Spiritualists are present from a distance looking on. Among the arrivals to-day was Moses Hull, the great Spiritualist lecturer. He came from Bangor, Me. He will probably issue a challenge for a national debate. J. Stanley Grimes occupied the lecture pulpit to-night. Rev. Kendrick. Goes to I,ognn sport. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HUNTINGTON, Ind., Sept. 7.—Rev. H. C.

SEPTEMBER MAGAZINES. Contributors to the September Philistine are Evaleen Stein, Walter Blackburn Harte, May Louise Shipp, Kate Milner, Robert George, Chambers Calvert and Emma Carleton. Miss Sarah Barnwell Elliott, whoste novel, “Jerry,” attracted some attention a few years ago, has begun a serial story in Scribner called “The Durket Sperret”— a story contrasting the Tennessee mountaineers with the university types at Suwanee. Among the notable features In Harper’s Weekly of Sept. 11 there will be an illustrated account of the University of California by Samuel E. Moffett, tracing its present extraordinary development, and an illustrated article on Kansas City as “a great grain and cattle market,” by James Davenport Whelpley. Among the features of the September Godoy is a paper on “Women in Religious Ministry”—-the development in this direction during the last half century being the special theme. An article by Paul Cessna Gerhart tells w r hat are the requisites of a mandolinist. Carrie Hunt Latta, the Indianapolis writer, contributes the first chapter of a story of Quaker life entitled “The Temptation of David.” Miss Frances Courtenay Baylor has an article in Lippincott on European housekeeping. It tells the old story of an economy of which Americans know nothing, but which they would bo the better for practicing, to some degree at least. To emphasize the lesson she tells of an American family of four who, after seven years of experience in England and France, live comfortably on $1,200 a year, and present a far better appearance than half the families th’ey know' who qre spending $3,000. In the September number of the New England Magazine Mr. Eugen’e H. L. Randolph, the editor of one of the well-known college publications, has an article upon “Greek Letter Societies in American Colleges,” in which he gives an excellent account of the origin of the societies and describes their place in the college life of to-day. His article is enriched by pictures of many of the best society houses in a dozen or more of our college tow-ns. “Brother Jonathan and His Home” is the subject of the opening article in the same number, the article being from the pen of Rev. William Elliott Griffis. “Brother Jonathan” was Jonathan Trumbull, the great Governor of Connecticut in the time of the revolution, the stanch friend and supporter of Washington, who gave him th’e title. His home and the center of the state government in his time was the old town of Lebanon, Conn. McClure's Magazine for September contains a practical and useful article on “Life in the Klondike Gold Fields.” It embodies the personal observations of a pioneer who has lately come out, bringing a fair fortune with him, and it tells how tty? miners enter and work their claims, how they live, how they govern themselves, what kind of men they are, and how’ thvy pass their leisure time. It toils also what is the best way to the Klondike. what the best equipment for the journey and a year’s residence there, and what promise of prosperity thv country actually offers. The article is fully Illustrated from recent pho’ographs. The magazine also contains anew ballad by Kipling—a dramatic personification of English rule in Egypt. There is ulso a humorous storv bv Robert Barr, reciting thv discomfiture of a New' York confidence man by a kindly but ingenious and resolute cowboy. , Octave Thanet has a very clever election story in the September Scribnvr. A “national” politician tigures in It, also a “local” man of a certain city—a man who is very rich, very respectable, very much in earnest, and in politics only because he was a citizen who had opinions, not because h’e wanted an office.

But he is perfectly honvst with his employer—after he has taken his side—and his campaign account is all right. And he is working like a beaver.” "Maybe,” the local reformer admitted Wearily; "he does seem Interested. After all, L think It’s the decent, honest men that make me the sickest—too timid to speak out, too lazy to go to the primaries, and too damned stingy to give a cent to campaign funds. They seem to think their whole civic duty is performed if they go to the polls once a year. It is enough to make a man want to emigrate.” The bearing of all which, as Mr. Bunsbv would remark, lies 1n the application on’t—and the application Is not confined to the citizens of Miss Thanet’s town. In giving his experience as a day laborer Mr. Walter A. Wyckotf, who made this experiment in r’eality for the sake of getting the laborer’s point of view, makes a very entertaining story for Scribner. It takes but a little time for him to get this point of view and to feel himself in an entirely new’ attitude toward the world from that he had known but a few hours before. Ho also makes the ingenuous statement that the laboring people, whom he had hitherto regarded as a "class, differ as greatly io character and personality as the people of a higher social grade. He thus describes his s'ensattons at the end of his first day as an Unskilled laborer shoveling dirt Into a cart: "I was hungry, not with the hunger which comes from a day’s shooting, and which whets your appetite to the point of nice discrimination in an epicure’s dinner, but with a ravenous hunger which fits you to fight like a beast for your food, and to Vat it raw in brutal haste for gratification. But more than hungry, I was thirsty. Cold water had been in abundant supply at the> works, and we drank as often and as freely as we ehose. But water had long since ceased to satisfy. My mouth and throat were burning with the action of thb lime dust, and the physical craving for something to quench that strange thirst was an almost overmastering passion. I knew of no drink quite strong enough.” Sughrue Mas Whipping His Daughter. Thomas Sughrue was taken to the police station last night, covered from head to foot with blood which was running from a gash in the forehead. With him was Michael Owens, and they were charged with assaulting each other. Sughrue lives at 5 Williams street, and Owens boards with him. Last night the former was whipping h; daughter, when Owens interfered ana knocked him down. Sughrue’s head struck a sharp corner and the gash was the result-

Lcnmoii of the Wheat Crop, , Leslie’s Weekly. This immediate result of the American wheat harvest is, however, perhaps tha loast important of the influences which it is sure to cause. In the first place. It seems Inevitable that the great agricultural community, or, at least, that part of it which was disposed to support the theory that tha depression in tho price of wheat was due to what was called the demonetization of silver, will now be convinced by unanswerable proof that the silver question had nothing to do with the low prices which tha American farmers received for their wheat. While wheat has been aproaehing the highest price recorded for many years, silver, on the other hand, has been falling until it has recently touched the lowest price ever paid for it, so that two ounces of silver represent the price offered for a bushel of wheat in the middle of August, whereas a year ago it was claimed that an ounce of silver bought a bushel of wheat. We may expect, therefore, to see that an argument furnished by practical experience, not by the politicians, has permanently convinced that great company of farmers who were persuaded to free silver a year ago that they were then mistaken. One result, therefore, of this experience in the summer of 1897 is likely to be the extinction of tha doctrine of free silver, at least as a political issue. Tiiftbont Mnrrliißei. Springfield Republican. A recent decision of Judge Allen, of Los Angeles, Cal., will put a check on the “tugboat marriages” which have become too common in that State. Since the passage of more stringent marriage laws, those who could not be married on account of extreme youth or other legal disability have simply taken a ride on a tug into the high seas and taken advantage of the extraordinary powers which are granted to masters of vessels in the performance of civic duties. Judge Allen decided that a tugboat marriage is contrary to the spirit of the law in regard to marriage on the high seas, and eloping lovers will now have to take a. bonafide voyage. Bread Goes Up. I London Mall. Bread Is going up on Monday. Many of the bakers have been holding out in tho hopes of a collapse in the wheat boom, but the stocks of flour are now exhausted, and the tendency of the market is still in tha direction of higher prices. Therefore, It is practically certain that next week will see the quartern loaf a halfpenny dearer, and we have no reason to anticipate that tho Increase will be removed during the coming winter. Rather is it probable that tho staff of life will grow still more expensive as the year wears on. To Get Together. Detroit Journal. “I think,” remarked the Silk Counter, who was just emerging front girlhood into womanhood and who couldn’t therefore bo much less than thirty-five, “that we ought to stand out for more pay.” “That's all right enough,” rejoined the Notion Counter, a tall, beautiful creature, "for anybody who can’t stand in.” Now the chief difficulty besetting the labor movement was the difficulty in finding a substantial community of interest among those who toil.
