PLYMOUTH. ind an; MEXICO'S MINE TAX. DESIGNED TO REGULATE THE MINTING OF METALS. Heavy Los to the Philadelphia and Reading One Man Killed in the Wreck Rough Experience of Kob Young, Suspected Incendiary. To Control Mexico's Mines. C. L. Tompkinson, an American resident of Mexico, interested in mining there, in explaining the new regulation concerning the taxation of mines in that country, said at Washington that it grew out ot the fact that the Mexican Government had recently decided to resume control of the mints. It appears that the mines have for several years been leased to private individuals who, while they have charged a mintage tax, have put it on a somewhat different basis from that proposed by the Government. The charge for minting gold and silver has been almost 4V per cent, while the Government has collected in addition a tax of .01 of 1 per cent, making in all a tax of over 5 per cent to be paid by Mexican mine owners having their ores coined into money in Mexico, whilii those who sent their products to smelters either in Mexico or the United States escaped the payment of the bulk of the tax. The Government, upon resuming control of the mints on July 1 next, proposes to levy a uniform tax of 5 per cent on tho gold and silver contained in all the ore mined in the country, without regard to where it is treated. Strung Up to a Tree. Bob Young, a farmer near Richmond, Mo., was taken by a mob and strung up to a tree in an effort to extort a confession from him which would lead to the capture of the incendiary who recently burned barns in the vicinity. The mob seized Young at the house of a neighbor and took him to the woods. Upon his denial of any knowledge of the crime they tied a rope about his neck, threw it over the limb of a tree and drew him up. He was let down, and, still persisting in denying knowing anything about the lires. was twiee more strung up. Not making any damaging admissions, he was then permitted to depart. Young says he knows the men, but will not divulge their names. Bad Wreck, One Man Killed. A bad freight wreck occurred at 1 o'clock Tuesday morning three miles east of Kane, Pa. A heavily loaded eastbound freight train, on the Philadelphia and Lne, while running at a good rate of speed, was ditched and nineteen cars plied up. A car of oil was in the wreck and took fire immediately. The fluid spread to the wreckage and nineteen cars are ablaze. One man was killed, supposed to be a boiler maker from Erie, who was beating his way. It is thought that there are others in the wreck. The loss to the company will be heavy. Left on a Burninsr Vessel. News has been received at St. Malo. France, of the abandonmert, on fire and with her passengers on board, of a British vessel, the Why Not, bound for the Island ftf Tnrciir nn.'l lit-iih-il with fndder.

The fate of the nässender is not known. ' I Early in tlie Field. Iowa Populists in convention at Dos Moines Tuesday placed the following tick et in the field: Governor, Sylvester Crane, Davenport; Lieutenant Governor, A. R. Starrett, Humboldt; judge Supreme Court, F. W. Ivory, Mills County; super intendent public instruction, E. J. Stason, Sioux City. They reaffirmed the Omaha platform, making silver only an incidental issue. Gen. Weaver is said to be in favor of fusion. BREVITIES, Will Johnson (colored) was lynched at Lufkin, Tex., for assault. Ex-Congressman Frank Jones, of Ports mouth, N. II., has just returned from n tour of England. He says: "A late frost killed the crops there. The result .will be to make a market in England for American wheat and grain, which will bring good times to the Western farmers." The ten-stall road house, shops, seven lo comotives, Corliss engine, lathes and tools of the Santa Fe Railroad Comiwiny in Arkansas City were destroyed by fire Sunday night. The loss is estimated at $l-.i,0O0; fully insured. The cause of the fire is said to have been spontaneous com bustion. Pearl Smith, alias Pearl Ferguson, col ored, pleaded guilty to murder before Judge Tuthill at Chicago, and was sen tenced to twenty years in the penitentiary. The woman was not affected by the sentence, and walked from the court room with a smile upon her lips. She is suffer ing with consumption, and her days in the penitentiary will not be many, it is thought. Two inches of rain covered the entire State of Nebraska Sunday and Monday. Fields of grain which had been abandoned as ruined, which had been so parch ed that a match would have kindled a se rious conflagration, have revived, and will in most cases make a full crop. The growth has been something remarkable and most fields might be harvested, if matured, to-moirow. Rivers and irriga tion ditches are running full and crops fan 1k made without further rain during June. At the coroner's inquest over Miss Nel lie Harrington, who was murdered nt San Francisco, a perfect alibi was proven for the late Senator Buck. A fire which broke out at Meriny, Hun gary, was not under control until I.L'O houses had lecn destroyed. Several per sons lost their lives duriog the conflagra tion. Senator Wolcott has purchased the Douglass and Brown group of mines in Nevada for .JOO.OOO. Furniture manufacturers met at Grand Rapids, Mich., and decided to raise prices cn account of increased coat of materials.

EASTERN. The hearing in the five suits in equity against the estate of Benjamin F. Butler, aggregating 218,000, has begun at Boston, Mass. By the explosion of a dynamite cartridge used in excavations at Erie, Pa., Charles Harrity was killed and four men badly injured.

Mrs. Nancy Stark, aged 00, the oldest resident of Mystic, Conn., died Wednesday night. She leaves sixty grandchildren, one of whom is William Stark, Judge Advocate of Nevada. Mrs. Hetty Green has been sued for S100.000 for slander bv Miss Mary Irene Hovt, of New York. The suit grows out of language used by Mrs. Green during the trial of the Robinson estate case, The United Electric Securities Companw of Portland, Me., has implied for a receiver for the Louisiana Electric Light pany of Portland, Me., has applied for a with light. Charges of mismanagement are made. The big relay race between Chicago and New York started promptly at 1) o'clock Wednesday morning. Two riders were started in each one of the relays, each man carrying a message to Gen. Nelson A. Miles in New York. At Lenox, Mass., Miss Florence Adele Sloane was married to James Abercrombie Burden, Jr. The wedding took place at Trinity Church and was attended by men and women whose aggregate wealth is nearly $1,000,000,000. Three men were killed by a rear-end collision at Shamokin, Pa. A Philadelphia and Reading freight ran into a coal train. The wreck occurred on a heavy grade and at a sharp curve in the road, and is one of the worst that have occurred there for many years. About thirty cars were piled on top of each other. Richard Golden, the actor, took the poor debtor's oath before Judge Forsaith in the municipal court at Boston, Mass. The Springer Lithographic Company of New York has sued Golden for $3,000 for a balance alleged to be due on a contract made in 1SIK) for posters furnished the "Jed Prouty" company. It developed that last season the gross receipts on the Med Prouty" company were $00,000, of which 05 per cent fell to Golden. lie accounted for the loss of a good portion of this by n trip to Europe. WESTERN. A portion of the Doe Run lead mine at Flat River, Mo., caved in, killing three men. The McMyler Manufacturing Company of Cleveland, O., has increased wages 10 per cent. J. II. Ileney, former coiner of the mint at Carson, Neb., and alleged to have stolen $0.000, was caught near Phoenix, Ariz., working on a railroad grade. Three murderers were hanged at San Quentia, Cal., Thursday. Five men were to have boon executed, but Gov. Budd granted respites in the cases of two Two elevators, with l."o.000 bushels of malt and barlov, belonging to the is consin Malt and Grain Company, at Ap pieton, were burned. Loss, $150,000The manufacturers of iron and brass bedsteads who have been meeting at the Victoria Hotel, Chicago, disbanded. No organization was effected, as was at first expected. J. A. Jones and Thomas Barnes, broth ers-in-law, engaged in a pistol duel on horseback near Crawford, Neb. Jones' horse was shot from under him. lie con tinued the battle afoot and was killed.

The Bolt and Nut Manufacturers' As sociation, in session at Cleveland. O., ad vanced prices 10 per cent. The National Wrought Iron Pipe Association of Pitts burg, Pa., has made an advance of 10 per cent in all lines of pipe. The Illinois State Bankers Association closed its convention at Rock Island after adopting a resolution denouncing the attempt to establish a silver legal tender currency at a ratio of 1(5 to 1. W. P. Hallitlay was elected president. After three weeks of the highest prices on record during recent years, dressed meats have taken a tumble at Cleveland. Friday the best native beef sold at $8.23 to $$.o0 per hundredweight, a drop of from 50 to 75 cents. Texas beef also went down 50 cents per hundredweight, while dressed sheep are $1 lower. Dressed lambs are 50 cents below the selling price Thursday. A dead man kept guard over the Osbourne Chemical Works at Cincinnati Wednesday night. John Nelson, the night watchman, died of apoplexy in his chair in front of the open door early in the night, but his watch was effective and the place was undisturbed. Brother officers who passed during the night saluted Nelson and it was not till morning that he was found to be dead. Firo early Monday morning in the center of the Milwaukee, Wis., lumber and tannery district, and only eight blocks from the business center of the city, did $750,000 damage. At I! o'clock the flames wer under control. Foster's and Uhrigs lumber yards, Gallun's tannery, the steambarge Raleigh and the steambargo Lucy Graham were destroyed. The Schlitz brewery had a narrow escape from being burned. Other shinning was damag ed, as was considerable other property in the neighborhood. Gov. Morrill of Kansas has removed S. W. Chase from the wardenship of the penitentiary and appointed J. Bruce Lynch, of Chanute, as his successor. The removal was made at the suggestion of the investigating committee which recently found Chase guilty of immorality and malfeasance in oflice. Chase's lawyer has instructed him not to give up his oflice, claiming that Gov. Morrill's action is illogal. He says he will carry the case to the Supreme Court. It was rumored last night that Chase and his adherents are quietlv arming themselves, and that they will, if necessary, hold the oflice against Lynch by force. The free silver convention nt Spring field, 111., Wednesday declared unani mously in favor of the free coinage of sil vcr at a ratio of 10 to 1 with gold. This declaration was adopted without a dissent ing voice from the 850 delegates who composed the convention. The delegates also went on record as being in favor of the holding of a national Democratic conven-

tion, to take action on the money Question. John P. Hopkins, of Chicago; W. II. Hinrichsen, of Jacksonville; George W. Fithian, of Newton, and L. B. Pursons, of Flora, were named as delegates-at-large from the State to attend such conrention if one shall be called by the properly constituted authorities.

WASHINGTON. President Cleveland Friday afternoon announced the appointment of Richard Olney, of Massachusetts, to be Secretary of State and Judson Harmon, of Ohio, to be Attorney General. The announcement of Mr. Olney's promotion caused no surprise, as it had been expected, but the nomination of Harmon caused a sensation, as his name had not been mentioned in connection with the vacancy. Mr. Harmon is about T0 years old, has been a judge of the Common Pleas in Cincinnati and at present is one of the counsel of the "Big Four" and other roads. It is becoming each day a more serious problem for the Navy Department to man the new ships with the small number of sailors allowed by law. In recent years there have been constant additions to the new navy, but Congress has not seen lit to increase in like proportion the number of sailors allowed to man the ships. The modern ship, with its complex machinery and great size, requires more men than the small sailing steamers of the war period, yefc with all the liberality which Congress has shown iu appropriating money for the construction of new vessels it has failed to grasp the importance of giving them effective crews. Last year Secretary Herbert appealed to the legislative branch of the Government to authorize the enlargement of the number of enlisted men by 11,000, pointing to the number of new ships that will be completed and turned over to the navy in the course of a year or tw as the basis of his application. The Appropriation Committee, however, saw tit to cut this number down to 1,000 additional men. The battleships Maine and Texas will be ready this summer to go into commission. To man these two ships about 700 men will be required, and as the Lancaster is also to go into service as a practice ship ÖO0 men must be assigned to her. Thus the entire additional 1,000 men allowed by Congress will be absorbed. Meanwhile the big battleships Indiana, Oregon, Iowa and Massachusetts are rapidly approaching completion, and there will be no sailors to place on them unless the department shall put out of commission some other ships and transfer their clews to the new vessels. FOREIGN. Rudolph Sehiui ubel t, the Chicago bomb thrower, is reported to have been fatally wounded in a fracas at Pinalajo Villa, Honduras. The republic proclaimed in Formosa has collapsed and President Tang has escaped. The Chinese forces in North Formosa are disorganized at the approach of the J a pa nese. The Loudon Times correspondent at Tananarivo telegraphs that placards have been secretly allixed to church doors in that place inciting the people to kill the Malagassy queen and premier and to welcome the French. A Tegucigalpa, Honduras, dispatch says: Fugitive Schnaubclt, alias Kindskopf, the man who is said to have thrown the bomb at the Chicago haymarket riot, was badly wounded in a fracas at Pinalajo Ville. He will die. It is officially announced that fifty fatalities resulted from the cloudburst over the Wurtcmberg portion of the Black Forest. At Bal-ingen alone thirty houses were demolished by the rise of the River Lyach, and many other buildings were damaged. A Ixndon cablegram says: A special dispatch from Shanghai says that it is almost certain that a massacre of all the persons connected with the English, French and American missions at Chengte has occurred. Neither men, women nor children have been spared. It is admitted that telegrams have been inter cepted by the Government, the object be ing to conceal the news of the massacre. French gunboat is en route to Woenchamr to investigate the report. Chengte is situated in the province of Pe Chi Li, 100 miles northeast of Pekin. The people composing the population of the city are of a low order. The fact that Chengte is so near Pekin, the seat of the Chinese Government, makes the outrage all the more flagrant. When the news of the massacre arrived in Shanghai a French gunboat was promptly ordered to Wreng Cheng to investigate. There are several English warships here, but none has been ordered north. The Americans and Lng lish will, however, make a thorough in vestigation. There was a tremendous cloudburst over the Wurtemburg portion of the Black Forest district in Germany, causing de struction of property. The downfall of water caused the river Eyach to rise, and many houses at Ballingen, Frommern, Dirrwangen and Laufen were swept away. Many persons are missing, and it is feared they were drowned in the flood Ten persons were drowned at Ballingen, seven were killed at Frommem and nine persons are missing iu addition from the j last-named place. At Laufen ten persons were killed. The Black Forest is a mountainous region of southwestern Germany, in the grand duchy of Baden and the west of Wurtemburg, separating the basins of the Rhine and Neckar. In many places it is 15,700 feet above the sea, and the Feldberg, 4,G7Ö feet high, is the loftiest mountain in western Germany. The Danube, Neckar, Kinzig, Murg, Kitz and other rivers rise in this region. The inhabitants are mainly engaged in rearing live stock, trading in timber and manufacturing wooden clocks, toys and woolen fabrics. IN GENERAL. The Stt ;i"d Oil Company and the Scotch Oil '..li'pany have concluded an agreement, . h is to last three years, for an adva u.- in the price of candles. The Canadian House of Commons has voted down a resolution providing that women possessing the necessary property qualifications be allowed to vote iu federal elections. The Canadian steamer Jack, which sank the steel steamer Norman on Lake Huron, got away from Alpena, Mich., nt noon Friday, just one hour ahead of a libel for 100.000 in a suit instituted by the owners of the Norman. Rumors are current of trouble between "Jim" Corbet t and his wife, and that she has begun proceeding for divorce. Mrs. Corbetfs father, Mr. Lake, said he thought the papers in the case had already been served on the pugilist. The District of Columbia Court of Ap-

peals has decided against Justice Charles D. Long, of Michigan, in the celebrated pension case. The court holds that a pension is not a vested right and that the courts cannot interfere in matters of reductions. Prof. T. Nash, chief of the British Educational Bureau of India, committed suicide Monday by jumping overboard from the steamship City of Topeka in Alaska waters. It was done in the presence of his wife, who is the daughter of an Indian prince. She was jealous of him and they had quarreled. A San Francisco paper, in its account of the wreck of the Colima as told by the survivors of the wrecked vessel, says the ship was badly loaded. When the gale struck her the men called out to the captain to cut away the deck loading of heavy spars. The captain refused. Then the ship lost her steering power. The captain rang for more steam and would not cut loose the deck h-ad. Steam could not save her. The engines were taxed to their utmost, still the vessel listed. The panic on board grew worse. Then the captain gave orders for the crew to keep the passengers within bounds. Steerage and cabin passengers say they sought to obtain life preservers and were forcibly restrained from doing so. Down in the steerage a guard was jested at the eompanionway door, and those who escaped to the deck in time to cast themselves into the sea before the vessel went down did so only by main force, by kicking and fighting their way past the guard.

It. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: "The tide of business is rising, even as it was falling just two years ago, with surprising rapidity. The gain has gone so far and so fast in some branches that the more conservative fear it may not be maintained. But the period of dullness which comes in each market after an unusual rise brings as yet nothing like a corresponding decline. Industries gain much, halt or fall back a little and then gain once mwrc. The demand for consumption steadily increases as the employment and wages of the people in crease. Demand for money expands, one bank reporting 29 per cent larger in the discounts for the country and another "I per cent more commercial loans than a year ago, and all but two report some gain. The serious question remains whether the crop will be full enough to sustain a large business, but the worst reports to-day are better by far than the estimates recently current." According to the Government weekly crop report, the warm weather of the past week has been favorable for cotton, which is reported as doing well in Tennessee and Oklahoma, and as improved in Arkan sas and North Carolina, though still back ward in the last-named State. In Ixmisiana the stand has been affected by the cool weather of the preceding week, but it has commenced to grow again. In Texas the early part of the week was unfavorable, but the warm weather of the latter part was favorable for cultivation, which was badly needed. The warm weather has also been beneficial to corn, replanting of which over the northern portion of the corn belt is about completed nnil it is coming up and doing well. Reports from Southern States indicate that corn in that section is in excellent condition In Ohio, Indiana. Michigan and southern Illinois corn would be greatly benefited bv rain. Winter wheat is in less promis ing condition in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Missouri, and rust is appearing in Illinois. It is nearly ready to harvest in Kansas and is heading in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Arkansas and Kentucky report improved condition, and prospects in Oregon are excellent. MARKET REPORTS.

HEAVY LOSS BY FIRE.

ALL SOUTH CHICAGO WAS IN DANGER. Railroad Commission Gives the Windy City a Fine Lift-Last Year's Output of Fruit A. K. U. Leaders Must Serve Their Time. South Chicago Blaze. The entire business district of South Chicago was threatened with destruction y fire that started at 11:30 o'clock Mon day night in the furniture store of Peter Young. Refore the Hann s were gotten under control ten buildings were laid in ashes. The damage will reach about $200.000. The lire started in the rear of Young's furniture store, right in the eart of the business district. It spread west, destroying six buildings, and the flames shifted north, laying four more uildings in ashes. Twenty minutes after the tire broke out the flames attacked the ig department store of C. S. Cave. This is the largest store in the town. The firemen fought the blaze at this point and succeeded in saving the structure, but the loss from water will be several thousand dollars. Fruit Crop of 11)4. The review of the fruit condition of the country for 1S04 by the jKnuologist of the Agricultural Department is printed for the tirst time in the year book now almost completed. It characterizes the season as peculiarly disastrous and unprintable in most lines of fruit culture. In the Last and South the result was largely due to unfavorable climatic conditions. Fair fruit crops were harvested, however, in the New England, middle Atlantic and lake States and in iortions of Missouri. Kansas and Nebraska. West of the Ilocky Mountains there was an abundant yield, but losses due to the paralysis of freight traffic during the railroad strikes in June and July, together with the low prices caused by the prevailing indus trial depression, resulted in very low net returns to the growers and shippers of that region. The year was characterized by exceptional extremes of heat and cold, drought and moisture in different sec tions. The average value of apples per barrel exported was about 20 per cent less than in 1M3, and exports of dried apples showed an increase of but 5 per cent over those in 1S03. in which year exports were smaller than during any year since 1S7S. Peaches were almost a total failure in the commercial peach districts of the South, except in Florida and Texas. HilZ lioon to Trade. Chicago merchants have just been given at least 7,00,ooo of additional trade an nually by the railroad and warehouse commission. Merchants in jobbing centers in Illinois other than Chicago will benefit proportionately by the same gift and to the extent of at least 3.om.miO. This enormous increase of trade to Illi nois mercnants comes through the decision of the State commission to establish between all Illinois points as low a mileage basis of rates as i quoted to them from points outside the State. In other words, the commission is now printing its revised classillcation which will remove from Chica'o and other Illinois merchants the onerous exactions in freight rates which have turned over the jobbing trade within the- State to merchants in Cincinnati. Indianapolis, Detroit, Toledo, Cleveland, etc. lels to Ifcturn to Jail. Eugene V. Debs and his associate officers of the American Kailway I'nion will return to the Woodstock, 111., jail. Mo::d;iy the certified copy of the order of the Supreme Court was received by S. W. 1'urnham, clerk of the United States District Court, and the marshal was notified to return the men to the jail. The men who are affected by the order are: Eugene V. Debs, (ieorge W. Howard, Sylvester Keliher. L. W. Rogers. James IIogan. William K. liurns, Iloy M. Goodwin. Martin J. Elliott. George W. Howard, the former vice-president of the union and now the executive Olli er of the American Industrial Union, which is a rival organization, desired to be sent to some county jail in Indiana. She Purloins While the Roy Weeps, Chicago police arrested Mrs. Eeuo with silk.- and clothing she had taken at L. Kh in & Co.'s store. With her was Michael Mastersoii. 0 years old, who had evidently been trained as an accomplice. When the woman-had all the plunder she could carry at any one place the boy was signaled to s't up a piteous cry, which diverted the attention of by-st anders and enabled Mrs. Loue to sneak out. This was his story. P.oth were held. Capt. Ulnckbiirn Drowned. George Kichards, of Milwaukee, mate ot the schooner Mabel Wilson, has received a dispatch from a son of Captain Blackburn, at Oswego, announcing the foundering of a yacht and the loss of his father and three others. Captain Illackburn was an old lake vess d master and once commanded the schooners West Side, J. E. Gihnore and Dan Lyons. N E WS U UGG ETS. The steamer Monarch, owned by Iirydges S; Durham, which left Itat Portago. Out., for Fort Francis, loaded with passengers and freight, was wrecked and sunk at Sault Kapids in the Kainy river. The passengers and crew were saved. At St. John's, X. V., the whaleloat Kite has been chartered to carry an expedition of ten persons to Greenland to rescue Lieut. Peary, the Arctic explorer. Emile Dlebitsch. Peary's brother-in-law, will have charge of the party, which is to start about the middle of next month. A call lias been issued for a meeting of the Mississippi Valley Lumbermen's Association to be held at LaCrosse, Wis., and the Wisconsin Valley Lumbermen's Association has been called to meet at the same time and place. This means a joint meeting will be held and the price of white pine lumber will go up. The swearing in of the new Secretary of State by Chief Justice Fuller Monday was a simple ceremony. During the day the chiefs of bure aus and divisions identified with the department paid their respects to the new Secretary. Orer half the graduating class at the Grove City, Pa., college were expelled for ducking a lieutenant of the college guards because he appeared in a new uniform. Parely a control's guard of the seniors will receive their diplomas. A number of the freshmen were also expelled for taking part in the same affair.

EP WORTH LEAGUEJ

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE, AT CHATTANOOGA, TENN. Second World's Meetin of the Methodist Young People's Societies-Sunrise Prayer Meetings on Lookout Mountain Program Complete. Followers of Christ. THE second interna tional conference of the Kp worth League is to be held in Chattanooga July 27-30. There are many divisions of the followers of Wesley, but they are essentially one family, differing indood a little in government, but identi cal in doctrine and spirit and e-en in methods. Of this unity the Epworth league is a striking illustration. Its functions nnd place in Methodist churches is similar to that of thi Christian Endeavor in Congregational and Presbyterian churches.
