“ Another war on the sugar trust is brewing. Nine Massachusetts convicts escaped from the penitentiary recently through theiSanitary pipes. They escaped per sewers at the public ex. pense. . Young men are on deck for this campaign. Harrity. the Democratic chairman, isn't forty-two, and Carter, the Republican chairman, is a good deal under forty. It cost $4,000 to notify Cleveland and Stevenson of their nomination. This “formal notification" of the nomination is all nonsense, anyhow, ip this age of telegraphy. Ontario convicts are now forced to make twine and rope. This is worse than the old custom of a parent sending a boy into the woods to cut a switch with which to punish him. Why do men of prominence allow their names to be used by the pro' motors of the “snide" investment schemes? is a question made pertinent by the failure of the company controlling the imaginary city of Tallapoosa, Georgia, which carried on its board of directors a list of names well calculated to impress people with its responsibility. It has already been announced that Senator Brice is to occupy the old Corcoran mansion, ip Washington. The improvements being made in the edifice will cost $25,000, which to Washingtonians seems a good deal of money to use in that way, especially as only $5,000 of the amount is allowed by the estate, and the rest comes out of Mr. price’s pocket. The rental will be SIO,OOO a year, besides taxes. /

The preference of the Western man for “a steady, healthy growth" over a boom is explained by tbestatement of a correspondent „that there are twenty well built towns in Kansas without a single inhabitant to waken the echoes of their deserted streets. Saratoga has a $30,000 opera house, a large brick hotel, a $20,000 school house and a number of fihe business T < houses, and yet there is nobody even to claim a place to sleep. At Fargo a $20,000 school house stands on the side of the hill, a monument to the bond voting craze. Tramps ought to utilize these towns as summer resorts. -- J ‘ V, Macauley once Said that English virtue awakens every seven years to sacrifice a victim, and then goes to sleep. There are recent events con. firmatory of this Parnell was hounded to his grave for moral offenses, that were virtuous compared to those of Sir Charles Dilke, the exposures of whose licentiousness shocked the world; yet the as a Liberal and a follower of Gladstone. The horror of his immorality was soon forgotten. ‘ The first pensions ever granted by the United States'were provided for in bills introduced in Congress in April, 1778. On May 15, 1778, Congress passed a bill granting that '“all officers who shall serve to the close of the war shall receive half pay for seven years thereafter, and all private soldiers shall secure a reward of SBO. ’’ This same Congress gave permission -to, South Carolina and Georgia to raise 3,000 troops ot able bodied negroes for service, for whom Congress agreed to pay SI,OOO for every soldier thus mustered into service, provided that no bounty or pay be allowed said negroes, ” and also provided that every such negro shall be emancipated at the end of the war and receive ; sso.

Both sides made concessions. r Ae threatened strikes of the iron workers in Pittsburg and the West have thereby been averted. Mr. Ballard Smith, editor-in-chief of the New York World, has resigned, and his resignation has been accepted by Mr. Pulitzer, the proprietor of the World. The cause of Mr. Smith’s withdrawal is said to be his editorial policy regarding the Homestead strike. Under his leadership the World took ultra grounds in defense of the strikers. I <1 ' The Knights Templar had an immense time at Denver, Col., last week. Tho attendance was far beyond expectations and it taxed the city to tho utmost to provide for the visitors.

He told Dr. Stewart that he was a somnambulist. The first night the Doctor overtook him on the grounds as he was about walking over a one-hun-dred-foot precipice. The second night Screams of murder came from his room. Here he was found in a terrible condition. 14 appears that he dreamed tfiki his toes had been cut off, and he deemed necessary to sew them on. In his somnambulistic haste he pro'cured a rusty needle, with a strong string and drove, it through Spur toes, literally sewing them together. Ho then ayoke and yelled. The rusty needle has caused blood poisoning, and he may die. x The Governor of Tennessee has commuted the death sentence of Col. H. Clay King to imprisonment for life.

AN UNDERGROUND OUTLET.

The Father of Waters Thought to Be Seek. Ing the Gulf byia Subterranean “ Passage., ~ . ■/ ~ • The caving in of the banks of the Mississippi river now goiug on in consequence of the falling water, on Sunday caused the handsome depot of the New Fort Jackson & Grand Isle railway at Algiers, the western district of New Orleans, to collapse. The building was probably the in Algiers, and was built In 18S?. Divers, who had occasion to go down at thisf' point, claim that the river has made a subterranean passage under the land, and at each examination find it growing larger and the velocity of tho water greater. Algiers is on a peninsula, and the theory is that the Mississippi is cutting a subterranean pissage way through the peninsula, which would leave New Orleans, like Vicksburg, off the main river.

The operations which were begun two months ago to determine the value of the mineral deposits, more particularly the silver bearing ores among tho hills of Croy*s creek, in Clay county, are still being followed up. The interested parties secured the assistance of a practical miner, who lias had experience in Colorado, and two shafts have been sunk at a depth ; of twenty feet or more. Numerous sped- ' mens have been secured, pointrhg to rich “leads,” and the work is being pursued with very hopefultindications. A box of specimens has been shipped to tho department of chemistry and mineroiogy at Washington, with the request that the result of the assay remain a secret for the present. Thirty years ago silver bearing ore was discovered in that section,but the outbreak of tho war stopped development. Recently land has increased enormously in value under the supposition that silver wifi be found, and ground formerly offered at S2O per acre can not be purchased now at any price. Thursday night, at Eugene, Vermillion county, Indiana, the saloon building of H. D. Sprague was fired by incendiaries, and the city Abraham Conrad, was murdered by a farmer living near Georgetown, 111., named James A. Campbell. Eugene has always been a liquor town, run “wide open.” The citizens became disgusted at the way things w«jre going, and, for the purpose of maintaining better order, two months. Ago incorporated the town and elected Abraham Conrad marshal. Tho strict enforcement of the laws under the new administration did amt meet tho approval of the Illinois toughs, who crossed the line and made Rome howl at Eqgene. Campbel; and a friend went to Eugene with the gvowed purpose of “doing up” the authorities. About 9 o’clock fire was dis covered in an empty building on Main street. A crowd soon collected and all

—l 1 ; -ry _ were anxiotis to put out the flames except Campbell and his friends, who seemed bent upon mischief. Marshal Conrad three times requested them to be orderly, and the third time threatened them with arrest. This brought son words and the Marshal hit Campbell over the head with a pine stick. Campbell had his arms fold ed. Suddenly raising his left hand with a large knifo inlt, he struck Conrad in the temple. The blade descended, loosening the jaw bone, cutting the jugular vein wide open and making a deep cut as low down as the fourth rib? Coprad was nervy, and, drawing a revolver,said to the crowd: “Boys, be has cut me all to pieces.” Before he could fire he sank to the ground covered with blood, and almost instantly died, pampbell started to ran, but was followed by a couplo of young men named Grimes and Johnson, who overtook “firm’ threw him to the gsouhd, and tied hirfi with ropes.

A REIGN OF TERROR.

Inaugurated In Buffalo By thd Striking SwitchmenBondings and Cars Set on Fire—Many New Men Assaulted,and a Train x J The switchmen in the Erie & Lehigh Valley at Buffalo went out on a strike t Friday. Dispatches from Buffalo on the 15 th say: There had been more or less trouble Saturday between the strikers and their sympathizers and the men who Were doing the strikers’ work and a few desultry assaults had occurred. Things began to put on a more serious aspect at 2 o’clock Sunday morning, when a serious of incendiary fires broke out simultaneously in the Lehigh Valley yards. Eighteen or twentytfreight. cars filled with wool, cotton, hay and various other merchandise two passenger coaches and two watchman s houses were burned. The fires occurred at places where the firemen could not successfully stay the flamesr on ac count of an absence of water besides the difficulty of access to the fires. ) *The water tank adjacent to /the coal trestles was smashed aud an engine that was taking water there wpx&ed by a string of ten runaway cars that bad been turned loose from the trestle. Fira was first discovered in the eastboundyards east of Dingens street. Here a little office building and two or three freight cart were destroyed. At this time Yard-Master Mead discovered flames in two passe'n ger coaches used for the conveyance of workmen, and turned in an alarm from William and Dingens streets. In the yards east of Dingens street fire raged among the cars of merchandise. It took the hose from three carts to reach the flames from the nearest hydrant. The firemen, however, prevented the destruction of a great dumber of cars, and the loss of perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property. The cars destroyed were in the midst of a great number of other cars. The firemen uncoupled a number of cars and removed them from danger. A dozen or so of ears were thrown from the Lehigh tracks through a misplaced switch. !- The first intimation of anything wrong was when the coal cars were set loose and demolished the water tank. Then the 1 fires broke out simultaneously. That, briefly, was what happened up to daylight Sunday morning. But that was only, the beginning. Tho strikers, or their sympathizers, have pulled pins, turned switches and driven off crews. Three men are at the hospital badly hurt. One was assaulted at 3 o’clock Sunday morning, two others at 11 and another at 3 in the afternoom ' , The man who was assaulted at the WeslefnT New . York & ' “Pennsylvania crossing was on his way for tho wreck at the time and was turningaswitch. The strikers had turned switches and thrown six cars from his train before that. He was struck on tho head. When taken to the hospital he was completely dazed and did not know what had occurred. Ono of the men was assaulted at the passenger station and two at William street. One of the most cowardly things done was the throwing of switches under passenger train No. 17 at William street at 7:30 o’clock Sunday night. Two passenger coaches were thrown from the track, but the conductor-does, no t thlnk any body was. hurt, though many were badly frightenedFifty men boarded passenger train No. 3 atjll o’clock in the morning and molested the employes, driving them off. The crew finally succeeded in getting the train to the station. Then the mob- took possession of the Senrea switches three or four times during the day and drove off the signal men.
