THE INSURRECTION FUTILE.

LED BY TWO HALF-BREED HAWAIIANS Armed Insurgents March Into Honolulu ta Cain an Entrance Into the Palace Grounds Daring the King's Absence The Blot Soon Qnelled. Sax Francisco, Aug. 10. The steamer Alameda, that arrived last evening f rom Australia, brings news of a daring although futile insurrection that broke out in Honolulu, Tuesday, July 30. Two half-breed Hawaiian, named Robert W. Wilcox and Robert Boyd, who had been sent at government expense to be educated at an Italian military school, had been plotting insurrection for some time, but rumors that were current were little heeded until the movement culminated in an armed band of about one hundred and thirty natives marching from Fal&ma to ITonolulu, two miles, and securing an entrance to the palace grounds in Honolulu. All was quiet during the night, although in most of the native houses lights were seen burning at midnighL About 1 o'clock in the morning an unusual number of natives and Chinamen were seen on the streets as if something very uncommon were about to happen, but while people went to bed ai usual, the rebel rioters formed at Palama and about 3 o'clock Tuesday morning, marched from that suburb to the city, halting at the mauka gate of the palace at 4 o'clock. They knocked at this gate and demanded admittance. "When, after some parleying, they entered the grounds unopposed, the Palama rioters were joined by other squads from the street and other localities, and at one time the rebels upon the palace grounds must have numbered about two hundred and fifty. The king was absent from the palace at the time the alarm was given. He was telephoned. The royal party then hastened to the king's boat, where they remained during the day guarded by a dozen of the household troop. Meanwhile the rebels summoned Lieut. Parker to surrender the palace, but that officer refused to surrender. The general alarm was spread throughout the city by means of the telephone, and the Honolulu ritles were immediately ordered to report at their armories. There was a great deal of excitement, especially among the Portugese and Chinese. A numberof families tied to the top of the hill and a few ladies took refuse at an American legation, where a corps of marines from the U. Ö. S. Adams was stationed. A cabinet council was held and the three ministers present were convened, the American, Pritish, French and I ortugese comrnisbioners alco CapL Woodward of the U. S.S. Adams being present. The cabinet decided to demand the surrender of Wilcox. i. M. Damon was appointed to carry out the demand, but his mission proved to be unsuccessful. Several shots had now been exchanged on both sides. By 11 o'clock the rioters had all taken shelter in a house termed the bungalow, situated in the palace grounds. Finally a corps of government vo'unteers bepan huriin yiant powder bombs at the bungalow. About this time thirty or more rioters surrendered, one of whom had been fatally shot Early iu the skirmih Robert Boyd, chief lieutenant of Mr. Wilcox, was severely wounded in two places. It is stated that WiU cox shot two of Lis men whom he noticed were about to desert. While this bombardment acainst the bungalow lasted, sharpshooters from the opera-house kept np a steady and furious fusihde until fiually, after hours of bombardment, the rioters rushed from the building waving a white sheet upon a pole and shouting "Peace!" "Surrender!" The gate were thrown open and a force of volunteers entered and took the whole of the rioters prisoners. The firing ceased about 7 o'clock in the evening and Mr. Wilcox was marched to the station-house at 7:15, his comrade prisoners arriving at the lock-up a few minutes later. Among thoe opposed to the rioters the only serious casualty was a wound in the shoulder, received by Lieut Parker, and it is supposed it is from a shot by Wilcox. On the side of the rioters there were seven natives killed and twelve wounded, several seriously. An armed patrol was organized to watch the city during the fisht and afterward was composed of Honolulu riilfs, blue-jackets and marines from the 1. S. S. Adams and citizen volunteers as special constables, besides the whole police force. There were, however, no attempts at incendiarism. There were plans of a program said to have been formed by Wilcox in the rash riot that he made. One report was to the efi'ect that he intended to secure the person of King Kalakua, eorapel him to abdicate in favor of his sister, Liliuokalani, heir apparent, and demand a new constitution and a new cabinet. Honolulu papers state this was probably the rtan proposed ither in whole or in a modified form, but matters were kept so very secret that the exact reasons are yet unknown. KANSAS COUNTY SEAT WARS. A Conflict Ttetween the Resident of Havanna mil Eminence Imminent. To PES A, Kan.. Ausr. Adj.-Gen Roberts, wj.o tveiit to Garfield county, Kansa, Monday to investigate the threatened county seat war there between the towus of Havanna and Kmineni"?, returned to-day. He reports that when he arrived at Eminence he found that a company of one hundred armed men had been orgunied to proceed to Havanna, the piesent county seat, to remove the records and money in the treasurer's office there to Eminence. They represented to Gen. Roberts that the treasurer, who i an Eminence man, was afraid that hii life would be endangered if he attempted t- longer transact h;s business in Eminence. The treasurer denied this, and then it became known that their representation were only a ruse to divert Gen. Roberts' suspicion. The Jatter commanded the organization of armed men to disband, and the command was obeyed. He made them promise to raise no disturbance, at least until the county seat question is settled in the courts. He has no hope that the promise will not be broken, and he reports the excitement over the matter and the bitter feeling of the two towns for each other is liable to lead to a conflict at almost any time. Five Iollara Ten Cents. f.anta Barbars (Csl.) Herald. 2 Broadway, Nr.w York. June s, 139. To the Editor Santa ßartara lL-rali, California: Iif.av. Sir A statement i published in the New York Tim' this inorott that in r-pnse to a refloat tor a contribution for a new methodit epivopal churrb, O rover Cleveland k S while Mr. Harrison inclosed 10 cents. A gentleman liets me $ that the latter statement is untrue; that she would either five more or nothing. Can you give me proof r'srardinsr injnnnt of Mrs. Harrison' contribution? Yours, very truly, S. TrorMA.f. The het proof that firover Cleveland eeve $" and Mrs. Harrison 10 cents is from the lips t,t Miss Annie Pyle, who received the contributions, and also from the lips of her father, K. M. Pyle, whose honor and standing in this community has never been questioned. The Cleveland epistle has been published in the olumns 01 the Herald, and we endeavored to get that of Mrs. Harrison's for publication. but failed to succeed, Mr. Pyle presumably thinking (although he did not say so) that it would be too mortifying to tbe rank and file of those who advocated protection last fall and predicted better times, nf which idea Mr. Pyle was an ardent advocate, in case of Harrison's election. The above are the facts of the contribution business at L-sue, and no doubt will put at rest all of those who have heretofore disbelieved Mrs. H.'s contribution, and regarded it aa "another one of those democratic lies." North Dakota's Hchools. P.ifmarck, X. Pak Aug. 10. The "Omnibus bill" for the admission of the four new tatet made liberal provision for the establishment of schools, and the new constitution of this stau baa been careful of the disposition of the extensive land grants for schools. North Dakota will be the first state in the Union to provide for a state system of manual training and industrial education. Of the school lands. 41,000 acres are to be set aside for such a school at Ellendale, and the sngeestion was well received, while the actual embodiment in the constitution of this grant is giving great satisfaction. Noble C. liutler'e Appointment. WAsnnsGToy, Aug. 6.The civil service commission, upon the nomination of the postmaster, has designated Noble C Cutler, the clerk of the U- S. circuit court, a member of the board of examiners of the Indianapolis (lad.) postoiace.

ANOTHER BIG FIRE AT FORT WAYNE.

Several ITandsome Business Edifices Destroyed, With a Loss of 990,000. Fort Watrb, Aug. 7. Special. At 7 o'clock this evening the business portion of the city wa visited by a disastrous conflagration, entailing a loss of about ninety thousand dollars, wrecking three of the finest store buildings in the city and destroying most of the stocks of the occupants. The fire was confined to the block of three four-story marble buildines, 170 feet in length, two of them owned by the Trent man estate and the thin! by the Wagner estate. The fire originated in the third floor of the building occupied by Penner, Cratsley & Co., booksellers and dealers in wall paper, stationery, etc. On that floor was stored a large quantity of fire-works, which exploded and scattered the flames in every direction. From the lower floor to the roof was a large sky-light well, which served as a ladder of fare, speedily carrying destruction to all of the floors. The building was immediately opposite the court-bouse and within a short block of the central engine-house, but it happened that the department horses were at the time of tbe fire's discovery bein? exercised on the streets, and many valuable minutes were lost before the firemen could begin work. By this time the flames had gained so much headway that the destruction of the entire half square was eenerally predicted by the thousands of people who flocked to the scene. At 8 o'clock Kenner, Cratsley fc Co.'a roof fell in. By this time the flames had communicated to the companion building on the north, also owned by the Trentman heirs, and occupied by Stern, Mantner & Freidlich, clothiers best known as "JSam, Pete & Max." The flames spread also to the marble building to the north, owned by Mrs. H. G. Wagner, and occupied by Louis Wolf & Co., dry goods. The stocks of Kenner, Cratsley fc Co., and Stern, Mantner & Freidlich were almost completely destroyed, and Lewis Wolf & Co.'s store was Ku tied. The fire was coufined to these three buildings. Penner, Cratsley it Co. will lose f0,0(X; insurance, $32,000; Lewis Wolf & Co.will lose l-JOmO; insurance. $40,000; Stern, Mantner A Eredlich will lose $20,000; insurance. The loss on the Trentman buildings is $10,000. The walls have been saved. The Wazner building is damaged to the extent of $T,000. The fire burned three hours. DR. BAYLESS DEAD. Kditor of the Western Christian Advocate fasset Away at Hay View, Mich. Bay View, Mich.. An?. 10. The Rev. Dr. Payless of Cincinnati, editor of the Wettern Chrittinn Advocate, died here to-day from the e fleets of a carbuncle. The doctor had been in poor health for several weeks. Dr. Bayless was well and favorably known in this city. For several years he had charpe of T.oberts Park chnrch. the pulpit of which he rilled with ureat acceptability. He was very popular with his people and with all who knew hiio. While he was not perhaps to be clasFed with the greatest preachers of the niethodist pulpit, he occupied a most creditable position as a pulpit orator, a correct thinker and a sound theologian. His editorial career after he left Indianapolis and took charge of the Wfxtrrn Christum Adrocale at Cincinnati is familiar to those who read that paper and to others who watched his career. He made himself and his influence felt as thoroughly in the editorial chair as he did when in charsre of the several churches to which he so creditably and ably ministered. Durinz his residence in this city lie went abroad, visitintt England, Irelaud, Scotland and other Kuropeau countries. His letters tlurin? his absence and the lectures delivered after his return were intensely interesting, reflecting the cultured intellect and his wonderful powers of observation. The many friends of Dr. Daviess in Indiana will be greatly grieved to hear of his untimely taking oil". THE BROWN-SEQUARD ELIXIR. Successful Kxperttnenta Conducted ny a Cincinnati Physician. Cincinnati, Aug. 9. Dr. Pobert Longfellow, professor of dermatology in the Cincinnati college of medicine and surgery, conducted a Eeries of experiments yesterday with the Brown-Sequard discovery. Tests were made on a dozen subjects. The first two patients were Thomas Alburn, an Englishman, fifty-five years old, and Fielden Weir, a colored ex-slave, seventy years of age. The latter was bent and crippled with the rheumatism and Alburn had been lamed by erysipelas. The liqnid was injected in the arms and ler?. When both subjects returned in the evening they could walk with ease, and to show his rejuvenation, Weir kicked with both feet as high as his head, ran about the room and danced. The exhilarating ettect on the Englishman was equally as noticeable. He walked a dozen squares and declared all pain and stiffness had left his limbs. Both experiments were pronounced eminently successful. A TRAIN ROBBER CAUGHT. Captured ly the Passengers Whom lie AttackedA Fatal right. Little Pock, Ark., Aug. 10. At 12:10 this morning (Sunday) news reached here of what is supposed to be an attempt at train robbery, made to-night on the Iron Mountain railroad one mile south of Newport, Ark. Two men got on the train there between the baggtge-car and the smoker. A ficht er.sued between them and the bacage-master, J. E. Garrity, and the colored porter and Brskcnian Crittenden, in which the latter was killed and the former wounded. One of the men jumped from the train and escaped, but the passengers and the train meu, among whom was a detective, captured the mnrderer and brought him to this city on the train, arriving after midnicht. He gives his name as I). A. Whitefield of Baxter county, this state. STANLEY WITH AN ARMY. The African Explorer Coming Down the Coast With Lrnlo Pasha. Zanzibar, Aug. I. Stanley is coining down tbe coast with Eniin Pnsha, 9,000 men and an enormous quantity of ivory. The exact date of his arrival is uncertain. The Germans are doing their utmost to create a disturbance here, and a rising asrainst all Europeans is not only possible but highly probable. The Ilepublican Ilrljadlers. Ietroit Free Prs. President Harrison has placed the patronage of tbe Old Dominion in the hands of Gen. William Mahone, who followed the fortunes of the Confederacy from Bull Ilun to Appomattox. Mont of the federal appointments so far made in Virginia bae been given to ex-rebel republicans, for the faction beaded by Mahone is composed largely of former Confederates. The latest appointment from Virginia is that of W. C. Elam to the chief of the railway division of the land oflice. Elam was a rebel private. Other important places have been lately filled by ex-Confederates as follows: Lewis E. Parsons, lT. S. attorney for the Middle district of Alabama. Beverly Tucker, IT. S. commissioner to llayti. Charles Headley, receiver of puhlio moneys at Huntsville, Ala. Marshall M. Mott, U. S. attorney of West Virginia. William C. Wells, register of land oflice, Huntsville, Ala. A. T. Wimberly, collector at New Orleans. The Confederacy seems to be still in the saddle Death of .Judge liullock. Louisville, Kj, Aug. 9. Judge William F.

St. Pai l, Antr. 10. One feature of the law opening tbe bijr ioux reservation which is especially deserving of notice is that only actual settlers can secure tbe lands, no speculation being possible. Of course there will be, and has been already, considerable land booming in towns adioiniug the reservation, but the settlement of the reservation means the addition to the population of the two Dakotas of so many farmers and actual residents and workers, rather than so many speculators, who will leave the state as soon as they have secured the results of the booms they may be able to manipulate.

THE DEAD CAP BLEW OUT.

TERRIFIC NATURAL GAS EXPLOSION. A Fatal Accident While Testing a MainTwo Men Instantly Killed, Two Fatally Injured and a Score of Others Seriously Lturt. PiTTSBCEG, Aug. 9. There was a terrific explosion of a natural gas main on the south-side shortly after 6 o'clock this evening which resulted in the killing of two men instantly, fatally injuring two more and seriously injuring some fifteen others. The accident was rather a peculiar one. Booth & Flynn were testing a thirty-inch natural gas main which they had laid for the Monongahela natural gas company. Their workmen were testing the main before turning on the natural gas by means of compressed air. They ran the pressure up to seventy-five pounds per square inch, when tbe dead cap on the end of the pipe blew out, scattering debris in every direction. Several hundred workmen employed in the iron mills nearby were just returning home, and a numberof them stopped along the trench to watch the experiment. They were struck by the debris and flying missiles as thou eh a bomb had exploded. The pipe was braced with heavy timbers, and these were hurled into the crowd with terrific force. The workmen and spectators were thrown down by the force of the explosion, and one of the killed was hurled against a brick house and his neck broken. A general stampede followed the explosion, and a scene of tbe wildest excitement ensued. The cries of the injured could be heard for several squares. An investigation showed that two men had been killed outright and about fifteen others injured, two of them fatally. The dead were conveyed to their homes, and the injured who were unable to walk taken to a hospital. The killed are: JOHN MILLER, single, aged twenty-three years. JOHN O'CONNER, single, about twentyfive years of age. Those seriously injured were: John G rein er, married, terribly cut and bruised, iujured internally; will die. Henry Keich, a boy, skull fractured and injured internally; will die. Ions Bkaney, millwright, internally injured and head cut; erious. William Green, cut and bruised; thought to have received internal injuries; serious. James IlEjfPßiCK of bu Louis, Mo., both legs broken. Severance Mcnsicu Thomas Welch. Marti: Gabvey, John Sciiwaltek Patrick Ryan, Frank Doyle, James Pcffy, William Jones. The last seven named were struck by flying debris and cut and bruised, but none of them were seriously hurt FOUND IN THE SAND. Two More Bodies Recovered at Johnstown A Discouraging; Outlook. Johnstown, Pa, Aug. 9. Two more bodies were taken out of the sand to-day. One was identified as that of Alexander Hamilton, jr., a prominent resident of the town. It is very e ideiit that there are yet a great many bodies to be found in the cellars and other places where there are piles of dirt. Notwithstanding this condition, it is likely that the force of workmen employed by the state will soon be withdrawn, and if that is done there will be many bodies that are now only a few feet under the sand that will lie there until their bones are exposed by accident. Under orders from tbe governor the employes to the number of about eighty, who were under the immediate direction oi the sanitary corps, will all be dismissed to-morrow and only three or four will be left on duty in the office of the state board of health. This turn of affairs is discouraging to Johnstown people who had hoped to see enough men put to work to clean out all the cellars and take away all the foul-smelling rubbish everywhere. A large traveling sachel, packed with woman's clothiug, was brought to the room where valuables are stored to-dar. There was a Pennsylvania railroad check, No. otti, from Pittsburg to Philadelphia, on it, and the name "Elizabeth M. Bryan'' was stamped on an an embroidered linen handkerchief. round Two Bodies. Johnstown, Pa., Aug. 5. Two bodies were found to-day in cellars, and it is the general belief that many more will be found when the cellars are cleaned out. One of those taken out was a stout built man, evidently a workineruan. The other was a woman, and was taken out of the cellar of the store-room of Foster fc Quinn, which is just across the street from the site of the Hulbert house where so many people were caught. CHOKED HIS BOY WITH A CHAIN. Merited I'miisliinent Given a Hrntal Fattier by Indignant Neighbors. Winona, Minn., Aug. 6. Ernest Hoppe, a railroad laborer living at Minnesota City, put a heavy log chain about the neck of his twelve-year-old boy yesterday morning and locked it o tight that the boy was nearly choked. Hoppe then calmly placed the key in his pocket and went about his work. Two or three hours after this tbe suffering boy's little brother called the neighbors and they carried the boy to a blacksmith shop where the chain was removed. When Hoppe came home the neighbors came in force and after a struggle put the chain about his neck and affixed him to a post near the house. He swore a blue streak at first but at last quieted down. The only offense of the boy was letting the sheep out of a pen where they had been confined without w afer. The brutal father said that if the boy had died he would have rejoiced over the afiair with a keg of beer. Tbe boy has gone away. STREET-CAR HORSES RUN AWAY. A Serious and Probably Fatal Accident In Newport, Ky, Cincinnati, Aug. 6. The horses to a streetcar ran away on the down grade of the Cincinnati and Newport bridge on the Newport side to-day. The car jumped the track and smashed itself to pieces against one of the stone pillars of the railway approach. The passengers more or less injured are: Mrs. L. C. Eisenschmidt. Miss Lizzie Pythian. Mrs. Anstead. Mrs. H eckei. Frank Stricker, the driver, injured, it is believed, fatally. Why Huston Was Appointed. Ind. Cor. N. Y. Time. Huston's appointment to the office of treasurer was a good deal like the appointment of ltansdell to the district marshalshlp, and the two are the same kind of republicans. Huston is a rich manufacturer at Connersville and has politics for a "fad." As chairman of the state central committee he was in the line of promotion, but hid selection did not please any large number of Indiana republicans. Huston's personality is not pleasing and his friends seem to be tew. Indeed, his appoiutment was altogether in the nature of a reward for services rendered, and its etTect will be of no value to the administration. The ofiiee is too important for the incumbent, and it would have been better to put the new trensurcr in some smaller place. Nobody in Indiana was anxious for his appointment to anything. A Violent Supposition. Fort Wayne Gazette rep.) The committee that decided upon the qcality of the books ofl'ered was composed of Gov. Hovey, Ktate bupL LaFoilette, and the presideuts of the State nniverxity and Purdue university, together with the superintendents of the city schools in Indianapolis, Terre Haute and Evansville. Tbe verdict of this board, if fairly and freely given, ouijlit to be fully satisfactory as to the character of the books. H can hardly be supposed that eentlemen of the standing of the members of this board would indorse a series of books that would not be up to the letter of the standard reauired by the law in the provision above quoted. Prohibition Defeated. Rome, Gl, Aug. 6. After a vigorous and exciting campaign of three weeks, prohibition W88 defeated to-day in Floyd county by a majority of eoOout of a rote of 4.000.

THE COKE STRIKE ENDED.

A Victory For the Men at an Ad vance Work Will Be Kesumed. 1'versox, Ta., Aug. 8. The great coke strike is ended with a victory for the men at an advance of 12 per cent. This was brought about by a conference of the labor leaders, which lasted all day with the three large coke firms H. C. Frick & Co., J. M. Schoonmaker 4t Co. and the McClure coke company. This is 95 cents per hundred for mining and 55 cents per 1Ö0 bushels charged for drawing. All other wages will be in proportion. There is to be no discrimination made against the men engaged in the strike. All are to have their old positions back. The agreement is to last six months whether coke advances or declines, and either party is to give thirty days notice to terminate the agreement. Telegrams and couriers are now being sent out to the different works, and to-morrow's rising sun will witness a general resumption of work, thus averting what promised to be the moot determined strike that was ever known in the region. Semi-official notice has been received by the miners' conference committee that W. J. Iliney, A. C. Overholt & Co.. J. R. StauSer & Co., B. F. Keiner & Co., Pennsville coke company and A. C. Cochran coke company will accede to the compromise and will sign the agreement. The cokers are generally well pleased and to-night there is rejoicing throughout the region. Scottsdale, Pa.. Aug. 9 The Hungarians at Norwood refused to go to work this morning because they did not understand that the strike was settled. Hearing that the Alice and Bessemer works were running they formed a howling mob of about 500 and started off for these plants. The men at the Alice mines were warned in time and tied. Upon reaching the tipple the mob tore boards off and started coal wagons down the slope to wreck them and block the entrance, so that no coal could be hoisted. They then went to Bessemer, and on the way met John M. Dagion, who was riding in a buggy. He tried to persuade them to stop and return to work, but the infuriated mob overturned his buegy and beat and cut him so badly that his life is despaired of. The Huns reached Bessemer and went to the house of an old man, who wis beaten and the windows of his house broken. A man named Love was also caught at the pit, and treated in the same manner. They next made a descent upon the store, and after breaking the windows and doors in carried off all the bread and bologna they could find on the premises. By this time Secy. Walshhorn appeared. He addressed the Hung, and finally succeeded in making them understand that the 6trike was over and in their favor. The Huns then returned to their homes. CAPTURED BY NEW YORK. The Atalantas Capture the Ili Kvent of the Pullman Regatta. Chicago, Aug. 9. The big event of the Tullman regatta was captured by the New Yorkers to-day in spite of Boston's best efforts. Record-mashing in three other races and close finishes throughout made the day doubly memorable. The climax of interest was in the race between the two famous eight. oared crews, the Atalantas of New York and the Bradfords of Boston. Considerable money was ud on the result, the odds being $20 to f 10 on Atalanta. Neither club wasted time about the stand, but answered the rcteree's whistle and made for the starting point, one and onehalf miles away. Five minutes after being in position the two crews were oil". The Bradfords took the water fiift, and held a small lead at the half mile. They also held the lead at the threequarter. The Bradfords started out with a thirty-eight stroke, but lowered to a thirty-four at the mile, while the Atalantas kept up a thirty-foir all the way through. The Atalanta-' 6teady stroke, even rowing, with marvelous precision told. The Atalantas gained the final lead, however, only when on the last few lengths of the finish. Here the Bradfords tried to force ahead, while the Atalantas never changed their stroke. The Bradfords jnade a grand struggle, but their style of rowing defeated them, and the New York crew crossod the line just half a leneth ahead. The time was: Atalantas, 7:41; Bradfords. 7:44. This time beats the record, the best previous cight-oared time being 7: 46": -15 on a running river (the Charles) at Boston. A FATAL' COLLISION. Three Persons Killed And Seven Injured In an Accident Near Forest Lawn, N. Y. Charlotte, N. Y., Aug. 10. A collision occurred near Forest Lawn, on the Rome, Watertown Odensburz railroad, about 8 o'clock this morning. The night express, bound west for Niagara Falls, ran into the Rochester train, which was backing down, telescoping four car3 of the train and killing two persons and badly injuring eight others. The killed were: MISS EMMA PERBIN of St. Johns. Mich., aged twectv-turee. "JOHN HAY of Oswego, died at the city hospital from the result of his injuries. LOWELL C. BROWN, Sherman, N. Y. The injured are: Me. Perkix was bruised and injured iutcrnally. Mrs. Perrin had her collar bone broken and is otherwise injured. Andrew Tifeany, engineer of the steamer Ilazleton of Osweso, badly injured internally; not expected to iive, Jlßit, Lewis Mooke of Gratwick, N. Y., right leg broken. Miss Sarau M. Sweet, West Wolcott, hip injured. Frepfrick Bell, Cheboygan, Mich, compound fracture of left leg. Miss LonsE Moor," Landetown, Canada, right leg broken. Harrison's Treatment of Merrill, find. Cor. N. Y. Times. Strange to say, Ger. Harrison has seen fit to ignore the soldier element iu Indiana an element that is more sensitive than any other which he will have to handle. D. M. B:insdell, appointed marshal of the Bistnct of Columbia, was only a private in Harrison's regimeut, ami was appointed not on that account, but because of his industrious Harrisonism through many years. In selecting him and appointing the unknown drummer, Hildebrand, the collector of customs, a slap was made direct at Mr. Samuel Merrill, who succeeded Harrison as colonel of the Seventieth regiment, and who was thought to be booked for a good home oflice. The treatment of Merrill, who is of one of the oldest families in central Indiana and an honorable and creditable gentleman, assumes large proportions here in Indianapolis, where there is a clearly defined conjunction of society and politics. Merrill was thought to have a clear way to the nostoffice, but in order to please "Ben llur" Wallace, who would accept nothing for himself, William Wallace was appointed and Merrill ignored. So here at the capital the ex-soldiers and the old citizens (the latter having great dignity ard prestige for anew country) are grumbling over the neglect of Merrill, while such appointments as that of Collector Hildehrand are troubling the hearts of the loyal henchmen. Three Were Drowned. PirrsrtCRG, Pa., Aug. 5. Henry Simmons, aged twenty-lour years, and two boys, Willie Simmons and Eddie Deplore, aged respectively twelve and nine yenr", were drowned in the Monontrahela river this afternoon. Harry Deplore and Freddie Schachman, two other boys who were iu the party, narrowly escaped with their lives. The five named were in a wagon that contained ft load of refuse, which they took to the foot of Thirteenth-sL, south-side, to dump into the river. While they were unloading the wagon the horse backed into the river, the wagon was upset and all tbe occupants but young Srhuchroau were precipitated into the water. The elder Simmons, it is said, struetrled valiantly to rescue his younger companions but to no purpose, and before ail could reach them, three of them went down for the last time. Harry Deplore succeeded in petting ashore and Schuchinan, who had jumped when the wagon upset, got off with a broken leg. The bodies were recovered this evening. What He Went Dy. Time.

THE CAREER OF A GENIUS.

MAJ. EDWARDS' REMARKABLE LIFE. A Fitting Memorial of One of the Most Brilliant and Accomplished Journalists This Country lias Known Tbe Best of Ills Writings Preserved. Maj. John N. Edwards, who died in Jefferson City, Mo., last May, was in many respects one of the most remarkable men this country has produced. A native of Virginia, he emigrated to Missouri in early life, and from that time nntil his untimely death was a commanding figure in the politics, the journalism and the social life of his adopted state. Probably no man ever lived in Missouri who had so large a number of warm and devoted friends; certainly none whose rare qualities of head and heart better entitled him to the affection and esteem of his fellow-men. Maj. Edwwarda was an intellectual phenomenon. His early advantages were limited. He left school at the age when most persons are just beginning the serious work of education. From school to the printing office, from the "devil's" task to the case, from the case to war and from war to the editorial chair was the course of his subsequent busy and restless life. His opportunities for reading, reflection and general culture, especially during the tempestuous years of his early mauhood, were very merger. Yet even as a young man his attainments were extraordinary. He was thoroughly acquainted with the whole range of English letters. He was well read in the literature of other nations and of antiquity. He knew the bible by heart. Shakspcare was "at his tongue's end." Tbe great poets, ancient and modern, were at his command. With the "lesser poets" that legion of shy or humble songsters who break silence but once or twice in a lifetime to carol a few sweet or plaintive notes into the world's ear, and then vanish into the infinite, leaving but a bare name oft not 60 much to testify their identity he had a surprising acquaintance. His intensely poetic nature responded readily to the daintiest touch of sentiment or harmony, and he rescued unnumbered gems from the obscure corners of village newspapers, and added their beauty or pathos to the literary treasures of bis generation. He was a perfect encyclopedia of history and biography, ancient and modern, sacred and profane. He had devoured all the fiction, English and foreign, that revealed genuine creative power. He was familiar with all the great essayists and critics; he was fairly versed in political economy and the science of government: he had a good general knowledge of science; and withal there were few men anywhere who had a firmer grasp upon current events. His memory, or his powers of absorption, seemed inexhaustible. As he never forgot a name or a face, so all that he read became his absolute possession from that moment. He was a great lover of nature. He lived much out of doors. The fields and the brooks, the birds aud the flowers, the sky and the sea, had a never failing fascination for him. He was a student of human nature; or rather, perhaps, he had an intuitive knowledge of it; for he seemed to know men without studying them. He was a born poet, although he seldom clothed his thoughts in the stereotype forms of poetry. But almost all his prose was poetry, in the riirht sense of the word. He was an amazingly prolilic and versatile writer. He could dash od column after column of matter upon all sorts of topics politics, religion, science, economics, sociology, a baby's death and not a line of it would fall to the level of the commonplace. His exuberance of diction wis fairly tropical. He thought swiftly but his resources of language were so great thr.t lis mental operations, rapid though they were, seemed never to keep pace with them. All of which is simply to say that John N. Edwards was a genius a man whose rare gifts would have made him as well known throughout the English-sneaking world as be was in Missouri where his name was a household word hud bis ambition and self-control been equal to his intellectual endowments. Maj. Edwards had a romantic career. He fought throuch the war of tbe rebellion as an officer in the Confederate Gen. Joseph Shelby's famous corps. He was a brave soldier, participated in several notable engagements, was repeatedly wounded, aud shared with the gallant Shelby the afiections of all the command. After the war he accompanied Shelby and a thousand of his veterans to Mexico, where they joined their fortunes with those of the ill-starred Maximilian. He spent two years in Mexico and then returned to Missouri, where he passed the remainder of his life, engaged in journalism at St. Louis, Sedalia, St. Joseph aud Kansas City. At his death he was the leading editorial writer on the Kansas City Time, with whose proprietor, Dr. Munford, he had maintained a more thau brotherly intimacy tor twenty years. Maj. Edwards was personally one of the most fascinating of men. Modest, diffident, reserved in his manner, he was as bold as a lion on occasions, yet as gentle and tender as a woman in all the relations of domestic life and social intercourse. He was erratic, impulsive, highspirited, sensitive to aöront, jealous of his honor, yet generous even to his enemies, and all abounding in moral courage. Maj. Edwards died penniless. The most unselfish of men, his heart and hand were always open to the appeals of others, and this fact, together with the terrible appetite, against which he struggled so heroically, though vainly, kept him always a poor man. His widow, a talented and accomplished woman, has made a selection of his writings, including his most famous newspaper articles, several hitherto unpublished poems, and many private letters, which is published in a neat volume of 42$ patres. This volume contains also an appreciative sketch of Maj. Edwards from the pen of the Rev. George Plottenburg ''Twenty Years of Friendship," a touching tribute from the pen of Dr. Muuford; a large number ot personal and newspaper tributes, and Maj. Edwards' brilliant narrative of "Shelby's Expedition to Mexico." There is also an excellent portrait of the subject The whole forms a most graceful and appropriate memorial. It is sold for the benefit of his widow and children, and for this, as well as for its rare literary merits, should meet a hearty welcome from the thousands of Maj. Edwards' friends and admirers, as well as from the general public. Copies can be obtained from Wiley O. Cox, president of the state bank, Kansas City, Mo. The Starving Miners. N. Y. Wor'd. We have received the following letter: To the Editor of the World: I read a terrible article in the World of this dsts, nnder the head of "lTinK to Escape Slavery." If the statements therein contained of the condition of those Illinois coal miners are true, the II orld deserTes the profound gratitude of every right-minded person in this country for taking pairs to pet at the facts and for ffiviug them the wido publicity of it columns; the recital is enough to make the stones of tbe street cry out. But in the name of truth and justice, what has protection to do with it? Cure in the heading and at least five several times in the body cd the article the dreadful and soul sickening state of attairs therein described is deliberately and studiously laid t the door of "protection." With no duty at all on anthracite, and only 75 cents per ton on soft coal, will the ll'Wd, if it can, explain, once for all, in trnis that shall "nail the subject forever to the wall," how protection is lni mediately or remotely responsible? A. P. Bbowv. Jerst-y City, Aug. i. It strikes us that the burden of proof and of areumeut is on the other side of this question. Why ha9 not protection prevented the terrible state of nflairs in northern Illinois, truthfully depicted by the World's correspondent? Last year the miners of that region joined no doubt at the instigation of the mine-owners in republican parades. They bore banners with the familiar device: "Protection fills the dinner-pail." Protection was assured for "four years more." Why are the dinner-pails empty? Another inscription read: "Protection makes wages high." Why were the wages of these miners reduced 12 per cent, within a month alter Harrison's inauguration? In retard to the direct eOect of the tariff in producing or intensifying this suffering it may be said that a duty of "only 75 cents a ton" is equal to about half the price of the soft coal at the mines. A duty which shuts out Nova Scotia or Canada coal, and enables a combination to control the home market put it in the power of this monopoly arbitrarily to fix wage and to put upon coal "all the price thit the market will bear," as one of tbe Pennsylvania coal barons testified to doing. A tanrl' of 47 per cent, upon imported necessaries surely increases the cost of living to the miners and makes the most meager saving an impossibility. But the question tor which Mr. A. P. Brown should seek an answer is "Why has protection not prevented the reduction of wages in the Illinois coal fields, in Carnegie's iron-works, and in scores of other favored industries?"
