THE EAST. Tbtxb A. Rattioan, editor of The Herald, at Millerstown, Pennsylvania, was horsewhipped by a dozen members of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, whom he had treated in an objectionable way in his newspaper. On Jone 28 a mail pouch destined for St. Louis, Containing $20,000 in money, and bonds, checks, and other papers, valued at $60,00Q, was stolen between New York and Pittsburgh. Postal clerks, who have since left the service, are suspected. The yacht Sarah Craig, which left Atlantic City with a pleasure party of sixteen ladies and gentlemen, was oapsized off Sandy Rook, and the following persons perished in the storm: Mrs. Cora E.

THE WEST.

Lansing (Mich.) dispatch: “At the Agricultural College there is likely to be a revolt, owing to the expulsion of one of the students. He refused to testify before the Board, which immediately expelled him. The juniors have removed their effects from the college building.”... .One of the anarchists’ bombs was exploded in Lake Michigan, opposite Chicago. A stream of water several feet in diameter shot 100 feet into the air, and scores of fish- were killed. The latest issue of the Farmer's Review draws a decidedly discouraging picturebf the crop prospects. It reduces its last previous estimate of the spring wheat by ten to fifteen million bushels, which would bring the whole of our crop of wheat to between 405,000,000 and 410,000,000. It reports a probably large shortage in the corn crop, owing to want of rain, which is still badly needed, places the oats crop at only half an average, says there is a threatened failure of the potato crop, and declares that the greatest damage of all is met with in hay. The Northern fruit crop is about the only one that promises well. ... .Leander Moody was lynched by a mob at Seymour, Ind., for committing a nameless crime on a 10-year-old girl by the name of Lissem, who resides near Seymour.... S F. Converse’s wholesale and retail paper-house at Minneapolis, Minn., has been closed by the Sheriff,the liabilities being $30,000. Gen. John A. Logan spoke at the Grand Army headquarters at Salt Lake City, telling the polygamous Mormons they must obey the laws. He said no organization could successfully resist the spirit of civilization and the laws of the Republic; they must give up their resistance or leave the country. About 12,000 Grand passed through Salt Lake City during the week. They had big meetings, making antiMormon speeches every night. The Mormons are much agitated over the matter.... Near Butte, Montana, Miss Jane McArthur plunged into the river and saved three persons from drowning, but lost her life in attempting to rescue the fourth... .Mr, P. B. Smith, manager of the Northern Pacific Elevator Company at Fargo, estimates Dakota’s wheat yield for this year at 16,000,000 bushels. In the trial of the Chicago anarchists on Saturday, the 31st ult, the prosecution read articles from the Arbeitcr-Zeitung, thesocialistic organ, and exhibited the red and black flags of the anarchists, and there rested. attorneys for the defense offered a motion to have Neebe discharged, which motion was overruled. Attorney Salomon then made the opening address for the defense. There were two leading points in his argument: 1. There cannot be accessories without a principal. The State must prove that somebody was a principal in committing murder before it can convict others as accessories. 2. The defendants did not throw the bomb, therefore they are not guilty. It is estimated that the trials of the anarchist conspirators for connection with the haymarket murders will cost Cook County and Chicago about SIOO,OOO.

THE SOUTH.

Lincoln Sprole and Calvin Janies were executed at Fort Smith. Ark., for murders committed in the Indian Territory. There have been forty-six men hanged at that place since 1871. Joseph Jump was hanged for murder at Gallatin, Mo. PROF. Cummings hfc Returned to Dallas, Texas, from a thr&e—weeks’ geological tour through Palo Pinto, Stephens, and Young Counties.

The firm is extensively engaged in the manufacturing of seine, twine, etc. The liabilities are put at $125,000 to $175,000, and the assets at $500,000. ~ Gov. Ireland, of Texas, has written to Secretary Bayard informing him of the murder by Mexican authorities of Francisco Arresures, a naturalized American, and Baying: “A demand will be made in the name of the State and its people that this wrong by Mexico be atoned tor and punished. If this" State and her people must depend upon themselves for protection, the necessary redress can and will be obtained.” Meetings in approval of this action of the Governor have been held in various parts of Texas. In Dallas, a fife and-dram band, followed by a crowd bearing the .United States flag, paraded the streets. Thousards of men, white and black, turned out, and for nearly an hour the city presented the appearance of being in the hands of a moo. At night inflammatory addresses were delivered by the Mayor and half a dozen others. Whatever may be th) merits of the case, a point is nearing at which it may require the use of the United States army to prevent the invasion ox Mexico from the Texas bonder. A letter was exhibited at Dallas from a well-known ex-Confederate officer, who says that he only awaits the moral backing of Governor Ireland before taking the field with

A dispatch from Corpus Christi states that preliminary steps have been taken there to organize companies for active service in avenging the murder of American citizens in Mexico. The Democratic Congressional Convention at San Ahtonio passed resolutions calling on the Preaident to demand of Mexico the release of Cutting and the punishment of the murders of Arresures, and full satisfaction and indemnity to be paid his family. t

WASHINGTON.

The Secretary of State at Washington has received a report from United States Consul Lynn in regard to the case of Francisco Rasures. the naturalized American citizen who was surrendered to the police authorities at Piedras Negras, Mexico, as a horse-thief, and summarily executed by them. IJae Secretary has directed a thorough investigation to'be made of all the facts in the case... .In the Cutting affair, Mexican lawyers appear to be of the opinion that the decision had been arrived at before the trial began. They think he will be sentenced to two years’ imprisonment. Cutting is an American citizen who, up to the time of his arrest, published a paper called El Centinela in the Spanish language at Paso del Norte, Mexico. In thatpaper he made an attack upon a Mexican named Emiglio Medina, who was about to establish a rival sheet in the same town. Medina had him arrested and taken before a Mexican court, where he was forced to retract the slander or libel, or whatever it was, and then set at liberty. It seems that almost immediatelv he Yecrossed the Rio Grande, going to Ll Paso in Texas, and there had printed in the Herald of that town, a paper published in English and Spanish, the following card: In a late issue of El Centinela, published in Paso del Norte, Hex., I made the assertion that Emiglio Medina wa* a fraud, and that the Spanish. newspaper he proposed to issue in Paso del Norte was a scheme to swindle advertisers, etc. This morning said Medina took the matter to a Mexican court, where I was forced to sign a reconciliation. Now. Ido hereby reiterate my original assertion that said Emiglio Medina is a fraud, and add deadbeat to the same ; also, that his taking advantage of the Mexican law and forcing me to a reconciliation was contemptible and cowardly, and in keeping with the odious reputation of said Emiglio Medina. Shpuld the said Emiglio Medina desire American satisfaction for this reiteration. I will be pleased to grant him all he may desire at any time and in any manner. A. K. Cutting. On his return to Paso del Norte he was reafrestecj for libel and contempt of court and thrown into the vile Mexican jail, where he now is. Leading officials of the Treasury Department are about to request the Civilservice Commissioners to take charge of examinations for promotions The first proof of the new $lO silver certificate is now in the hands of Treasurer Jordan. It bears a vignette, portrait of Vice President Hendricks. The $1 certificate will have a copy of the Stuart portrait of Martha Washington, never heretofore used on any of the Federal securities.

POLITICAL.

THE Ohio State Prohibition Convention held at Canton, last week, was. the largest gathering of the kind ever held in the State, JOOdelegates and 5,000 sympathizing visitors being present. A State ticket was nom- ■ inated, ana a voluminous platform adopted. The platform denounces the Dow saloonlicense law; favors the submission of female suffrage to a vote of the people; denounces anarchists; opposes violent changes tn the tariff; declares the National Soldiers’ Home at Dayton, Ohio, a disgrace because it tolerates a saloon, and opposes the liquor traffic generally... .The Vermont Greenbackers met in convention at Essex Junction, and nominated a State ticket, headed by T. B. Smith, for Governor.... Washington telegram: “It is stated that Public Printer Rounds has formally tendered his resignation to the President. It is to take effect Sept. 16. Rounds’ intention was made public some days ago, and it was said he would retire some time in September, but it was not until this afternoon that the document went up to the White House. All the signs point to the President’s New York friend. Rogers, as the successor of Mr. Rounds.” The New Hampshire State Republican, Convention is called for September 14•..... Congressional nominations: General Alvin P. Hovey, Republican, First Indiana District: Hoh. John A. Anderson, bolting Republican. Fifth’Kansas: Rev. Ira J.

Public Printer Rounds, in aq interview at Washington, said: “From the best of my information the next Public Printer will be Mr. Rogers, of Buffalo, a thoroughly practical printer, and cne who was foreman of the Buffalo Commercial when I was sticking type in that city fifty years ago. Ex-Treasurer Wyman, who, by the way, is now at the head of one of the leading banks of Omaha, worked the hand-press in the same office. There will be little or no friction for the next public printer to overcome, for I flatter myself -that I have put matters in good shape. To be sure, Congress has cut down the appropriation from $2,250,000 last year to about $2,1.00,000 for this year.”

INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

The semi-annual statistical statement of the American Iron and Steel Association has received from the manufacturers complete statistics of the production of pig iron in the United States for the first six months of the present year. 1 The production amounted to 2,954,209 tons. The country has never before produced as much pig iron in the same time. The greatest absolute gain in production was made by Pennsylvania, but the greatest relative gain was made by Ohio and Alabama, each of whom greatly increased its production. New York, New Jersey, West Virginia, Tennessee. Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin also show an increase, (is do also Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland. Indiana, and Calif orma.

THE RAILWAYS.

A dispatch received in New Ybrk says that Chauncey Depew has negotiated through J.. 8. Morgan A Co., of London, a loan of $25,000,000 for the Lake Shore Road, with a view of adj fisting the NickelPlate affairs. The Illinois Central has a good many irons in the fire at present and is gradually developing into one of the most enterprising roads in the West. Aside from its scheme to build an independent line between Chicago and Freeport, with the ultimate object of securing an independent line to St. Paul, it is now considering the advisability of building an independent line to St. Louis. At present it uses the Vandalia from Effingham, but this does not give the road the chance to compete against the other St. Louis roads as effectively as if it had its own line to St. Louis. It is probable that the new extension will be made from Springfield, 111. It has also entered into' a close traffic arrangement with the St. Louis, Arkansas and Texas (Texas and St. Louis), and by the time the gauge of the latter is widened the Central will have tapped the Texas line at some strategic point and thus secured the most direct route to Texas. The Canadian Pacific • Railroad has memorialized the English Government asking for a subsidy of the proposed line of steamers from Vancouver to Japan, China, and Australia.... The rumor that the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company’s lines had been sold to the Union Pacific is confirmed.

GENERAL.

The pallium was conferred upon Archbishop Fabre at Montrefil by Cardinal Taschereau amid great pomp and splendor. There was an attendance of about 17,000. .. .William P. Pierson, cashier of the American Baptist Publication Society, is charged with being a defaulter to the extent of $30,000. A syndicate, having for its purpose the “cornering” of Kentucky and Bourbon whisky, has been formed, with a capital in excess of $1,080,000. Senior <t Son. of Cincinnati, and E. H. Taylor, of Frankfort, are said to have been the organizers, but other perfeons in Chicago and elsewhere are interested in the scheme. The syndicate is reported to be buying up all the free whisky of the years 1877 to 1883, and expect to be able to control the output and the market price for years to come. The Postal Telegraph Company has been completely reorganized by foreclosure and sale. Mr. Mackay is the principal stockholder aud the new company will push •its'fines toward the Pacific. Thebe were 162 failures in the United States last week, against 184 in the corresponding week of 1885. Telegrams to Bradstreet'S point to the distribution of a smaller volume of general merchandise than in any previous.week during the year. This appears to be regarded as a natural outcome at this season, and representative traders at leading cities continue to express confidence in an active and profitable trade in the autumn. The July cotton report to Bradstreet's shows that the late heavy rains in the Atlantic States, Alabama and Mississippi, have left the plant in a condition well toward bad, as against good at a like period last year. The crop is equal to last year's in other States, except in Louisiana, where it is fair only.

ADDITIONAL NEWS.

AN E 1 Paso (Texas) dispatch states that “a mass meeting 6f 1,000 people adopted resolutions indorsing the action: of Governor Ireland and denouncing “ Mexico. Great excitement prevails. The secret trial of Cutting has been concluded, but instead of being sentenced he was informed that a public trial would be held later, and that Medina would translate the laws of Texas regarding libel and slander for use in the trial. Americans are insulted and abused daily by the Mexicans, even going so far as to beat a horse which a small American boy was driving, causing him to run away.” An Austin special states that Gov. Ireland “has directed the Adjutant General to order Capt. Jones’ company of rangers, now in Uvalde County, to proceed at once to Eagle Pass. The Governor continues to receive applications both by wire and mail to raise troops. Gen. Henry E. McCulloch, an old Indian fighter and General in the Confederate army, has offered his services. Col. Smith, of Cleburne, offers a brigade of ten regiments.”... .An Eagle Pass dispatch says that by order of Gov. Ireland, County Judge Hoffstetter, Sheriff Oglesby, and Deputy Sheriff Diaz have been arrested, charged with being concerned in the illegal capture and delivery of Francisco Arresures to the police of Piedras Negras. They were released on SI,OOO bail each. The bondsmen of AlmOn B. Thompson, the defaulting cashier of St. $50,000 to the receiver to compromise all claims, with the consent of the court, and were given the bogus collateral containing the evidence of his guilt.,. .Medals presented to Indians by Washington and Jackson have been brought to light in Wabash, Ind. The Miami tribe are possessed of some very valuable relics.

In response to a resolution of the Senate asking for information concerning the alleged illegal detention of A. K. Cutting by the Mexican authorities at El Paso del Norte, the President transmitted to the Senate, on the 2d inst., the report of the Secretary of State, together with a voluminous mass of correspondence relative to the case. Secretary Bayard explains that he has no reason for making twice a demand for Cutting’s release, because if his offense was committed in the United States Mexico has no jurisdiction, and Mr. Bayard, after pointing out that he has done everything within his power, says that he turns over not only the papers but the ease to Congress. It is an open invitation to Congress to take some action—to back him up in something more substantial than demands. The Senate passed bills to tax fractional parts of a' gallon of distilled spirits, and to provide for the in- - spection of tobacco, cigars.aud snuff. The Senate in executive session rejected the nomination of Richmond S. Demont to be Surveyor General of Utah. The nomination of E. H. Kinman to be postmaster at Jacksonville, Hl., was also rejected Fitz John Porter was confirmed without debate. The House of Representatives, by a vote of 167 to 51, passed the Senate bill increasing the pension of soldiers who lost an arm or a leg in the service. The House concurred in the Senate amendments to the naval establishment bill. An agreement was reached by the conferrees on the river and harbor bill providing for a survey of the Hennepin Canal route by a board of Government engineers and striking out tho appropriation for construction. President Cleveland sent a message to the House of Representatives stating that he had signed the oleomargarine bill, and giving his reasons for approving it. The President says that many communications have been addressed to him for the purpose of influencing his action thereon, the greater number being influenced by local or personal considerations. The bill, upon its face, and in its main features, he says, *is a revenue bill, and while he might doubt the present need of increased taxation, he defers to the judgment of Congress. He believes the selection of an additional subject of taxation, so well able to bear it. may be consistently followed by relieving the country of some other unnecessary revenue burden. In regard to the argument that the purpose of the bill was to destroy, one industry for the protection of aiiother, the President says: “If this article has the merit which itsfriends claim for it. and if the people of the land, with full knowledge of its real character, desire to purchase and use it, the taxes enacted by this bill will permit a fair profit to both manufacturer and dealer. If the existence and profits of the commodity depend upon disposing of it to the people for something else, which it deceitfully imitates, the entire enterprise is a fraud and not an industry; and if it cannot endure the exhibition of its real character, which will be effected by the inspection, supervision, and stamping which this bill directs, the sooner it is destroyed the better, in the interest of fair dealing. ” Mr. Cleveland notes several changes that would improve the bill, and suggests that it is not too late for them to be acted upon. There is danger, he says, of the fourteenth and fifteenth sections being construed as interfering with the police powers gs the States.

THE ANARCHIST TRIAL.

The Prosecution Close Their CaseAttorney Salomon Opens for the Defense. Ah Interesting Story as toHow Oapt. Schaack Hunted Down the Conspirators. > IChicago telegram.] After the presentation of some purely formal evidence as Io the time and place of Officer Degan’s death, and the reading of various incendiary articles from anarchistic journals, the State closed • its case against the bomb-throwers on Saturday. During the reading of the articles, which grew more virulent as the Ist of May approached, the red and black flags and inflammatory banners of the socialists were presented to the jury. When the State had rested, the attorneys for the defense moved that Oscar Neebe be discharged, and followed by a motion that all the defendants except Spies and Fischer be dismissed. These motions were argued at some length, but were overruled by the court, which held that where there is a general advice to commit murder, the time and occasion not being foreseen, the adviser is guilty if the murder is committed. Mr. Salomon then made the opening statement for the defense. His effort was not remarkable in any way except in that it practically admitted very much that was claimed by the prosecution. His chief arguments centered upon two points: First, there cannot be accessories without a principal; second, the defendants did not throw the bomb. Upon the first of these points he held that the State must prove that somebody was a principal in committing the murder before it could convict the defendants as accessories. The manufacture of bombs, the intent to use dynamite, and the preparation for a revolution by force were admitted by Mr. Salomon, who made fully as many points for the State as for his clients. At this stage of the case a brief and authentic record of the clever work of Captain Schaack and his assistants will be of interest. Captain Schaack has only six detectives in his -district or under his control. These are Schuttler, Lowenstein, Whalen, Hoffman, Stiff, aud Rehm. These are 1 the men that gathered the evidence that hung Mulkowski, and it was these same men who gathered practically all the evidence against the anarchists. Acting under the general direction of Captain Shaack, they worked night and day and left no stone unturned until every fact was laid bare. The morning of May 5, the day after the massacre. Captain Schaack had a consultation with Chief Ebersold. “I want to work independently in this case,” said Shaack; “I want no help from the Central Station. Your detectives here can work by themselves, and I and nay men will work by ourselves.” Chief Ebersold agreed. At that time Lieutenant Shea, chief of the detective department and its force of thirty men, had arrested Spies, Parsons, Schvvab, Fielden, Fischer, and several others openly ’ identified with the anarchists or connected with the anarchic publications, and had seized the stuff in the Ar better-Zeitung Building. Schaack called in his six men and gave them their instructions. The second morning afterward (May 7) he had learned of bombs having been made in one or two houses on Sedgwick street, and also in a certain place in the lumber' district. In those two days, it might be stated, the whole city was practically scoured by those six men in their search for a bomb factory. The work had not been completed, but had merely narrowed down to certain districts and had resulted in certain pointers from which that information of May 7 was gath-. ered. Schuttler and Lowenstein and some officers in uniform were sent to the two houses on Sedgwick street, one of which was Seliger's (No. 442), and the other a few doors off on the opposite side of the street. Oppenheimer, the escaped inform■r, said that when the officers were going toward Seliger’s he and Lingg were standing on the opposite sidewalk and that they discussed the feasibility of making a rush for the house and getting in in time to arm themselves and kill the officers in case they were actually bound for Seliger’s. But the unconscious; officers were too quick in their movements and got to the house first. Then Lingg said he would hide, and instructed Oppenheimer to send his trunk to No. 71 West Lake street in case the officers did not take them away. It was then that Schuttler and Lowenstein found the Lingg - Seliger arsenal and all the infernal machinery for bomb manufacture. The officers, held possession of the place until everything was taken to Seliger was found at work at Meyer’s carpentershop the same evening, and was lodged in the East Chicago Avenue Station. This was the first arrest of importance as leading djj-ectly to the conspiracy. That night Thielen came to see what his friend Seliger was arrested for, and he too was put under lock and key. It was then that Lingg first was heard of. Thielen was the first informer, but it was some days before he willingly told anything. His talk the first night, however, regarding Seliger’s lodger, Lingg, and Seliger’s talk on the same subject, led Schacck to believe that Lingg was an important factor in the case. Schuttler and Lowenstein then bent all . their energies to Lingg’s capture. They tracked him first by an express wagon he had hired to deliver his tool-chest at Twelfth and Clark streets. Then they traced him to Canal street, and then to the lumber district, frequently losing the trail and then catching it again. Finally, -the 14th, they located him in the little cottage on Ambrose street, where they arrested him. Lingg was an unconscious infprmer.

A host of conspirators were hunted down by these six detectives and arrested. Assistant State’s _ Attorney Furthman, whom Schaack describes as better than any two detectives in the city, interviewed the prisoner’s daily and nightly in their native tongue, and kept a record of all their statements.

" A lawyer walked down the street recently, with his length of arms taxed to hold a lot of law-books. To him a friend, pointing at the books, said: “Why, 1 thought you carried all that stuff in your bead?” “I do,” quickly replied the lawyer, with a.knowing wink; “these are for. the judges.” { A young lawer, who had long paid his court to a young lady without much advancing his suit, accused her one day of being “insensible to the power of love.” “It does not fbllow,” she archly replied, “that I am so because I am not to be . won by the power of attorney.” A MAN who had been arrested as a vagrant protested he had a regular trade and calling—-to wit. smoking glass for total eclipses of the sun; and as these occur only a few times in a century, he was not to blame for being out of employment a good deal.

Dr. Waldo, of the Yale Observatory, New Haven, recently delivered an address on the “Mechanical Art of American Watch-Making,” which is published in the Jewe er s’ Journal, of Chicago.

Dennison, formerly of Boston and now of Manchester, England, and that the practical success of applying the system logically and thoroughly to all the details of watchmaking is due to Mr. Royal E, Robbins, of Boston, and principal owner of the great Waltham Company. There are now ten factories successfully making watches by machinery in the United States,and nine more are in process of oggMHtfatjeih. —————— In New York the iron pillars which support the elevated roads have been pre-empted by the English sparrows, and there, in the midst of an almost constant din, thousands of little sparrows have been hatched. . ■ Success rides op every hour ; grapple it and you may win; but without a grapple it will never get near you.
