A Day's Work. The Federation of Miners and Mine Laborers at Indianapolis, Ind., decided that after Sept. 1, 1889, nine hours should be a day’s work, and after Sept. 1, 1890, eight hours. The question of consolidating with District Assembly No. 135, K. of L., was postponed till Dec. 12, when a joint convention will be held at Columbus, Ohio. The Yellow Jack. Fifty-one new cases of yellow fever have developed at Jacksonville, Fla., and five deaths were reported one day. Efforts are being made to depopulate the city. Physicians and nurses are needed, and an appeal has been made to the charitable people of the country for financial aid. THE A NTI-CHINEsIe MEASURE. An Attempt to Pass the Measure in the Senate Fails for Lack of a Quorum. The Chinese restriction bill came to a vote in the Senate on the sth inst,, and every Senator present voted for it, but owing to the lack of a quorum the ballot was ineffectual. The Senate has ordered another conference on the army appropriations bill, Messrs. Allison, Plumband Gorman being appointed conferrees. Mr. Oates (Ala.) created applause in the House by the introduction of a concurrent resolution providing for the final adjournment of Congress on the 2 )th inst. It was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means. Bills were passed by the House to limit the jurisdiction of United States District and Circuit Courts and providing for the exchange of worn or mutilate.! subsidiary coin, at coinage value, for new and unworn coin. A favorable report was male by the House Appropriation* Cim uittce on the bill appropriating §200,000 to suppress infection in the interstate commerce. EAST. During a heavy blow the sloop Flora 8., of Pennsville, capsized near Newcastle, Del. She had on board Mrs. Elijah Wheaton, Mrs. Jonathan Turner, Mrs. Samuel Wheaton, and the latter’s daughter, about 9 years of age, and Mrs. Thomas Finnegan, all qf whom were in the cabin at the time and were drowned. The bodies were recovered and sent to their homes in Pennsville. Prominent Knights of Labor of Pittsburgh, Pa., are considering the advisability of introducing a resolution at the next general assembly prohibiting any but I American citizens from becoming members of the organization. Those advocating the change say that it would reduce the membership about three-fifths, but that the order would be better off with 100,000 good American citizens than with 500,000 of the class that is now coming in. WEST. At Dayton, Ohio, by the crossing of wires, the full power of the e’ectric street railway dynamos was turned into the i Telephone Exchange, setting it on fire and ! destroying all the telephones in the city— ! about GOO. i Recently at New Lisbon, Ohio, the

u - - wife of James Thompson gave birth to a j child. Thompson celebrated the event j by getting drunk, which so unsettled the | mind of his wife that she arose from bed j and drowned herself and babe in a biook. A MONTH ago a mysterious disease appeared at Caldwell, Ohio. It had some characteristics of typhoid fever and some of malaria, and whole families were attacked. The malady was lingering, and j victims rarely died under six or seven I days. In the course of a fortnight nearly I every family in town was affected and the j death rate became alarming. Many fam- ■ ilies have left the town. Business is alI most paralyzed and funeral processions I are almost constantly on the street s. The I physicians are nearly all worn out and I medicine seems to do no good. The dis- | ease does not appear to be infectious except to residents, for outsiders are not affected. This leads to the belief that the disease germs are in the water. Forty Kansas vigilantes surrounded a horsethieves’ camp, near Paladora, in the public land strip, and a fight ensued. Seventeen outlaws and three vigilantes were killed. The American House at West Superior, Wis., has been destroyed by tire. Many guests barely escaped in their night clothes. Six persons are known to have perished in the flames. The fire was caused by a lamp exploding. Six section men were killed at a small station near Booneville, Mo., by a freight train jumping the track and crushing them as they stood aside to let it go past. A caboose attached to the freight was filled with passengers, all of whom escaped serious injury. While the pyrotechnic display of the “Fire of London” was being given at Coney Island, the scenery caught fire ami the flames spread, finally destroying the entire auditorium. There was a panic at first in the crowded building and many persons Were trampled under foot and some severely injured in the rush for the exits. SOUTH. Hot Springs, Ark., has been visited by the worst storm ever ever known in that section. The town is located in a deep gulch, with towering mountains on either side. The volume of water resulting from an unprecedented rainfall swelled to a frightful torrent, and with resistless force swept down Central avenue, leaving death and destruction in - its wake. At one time the water in the I houses was four feet deep, the princi- | pal hotels and stores being flooded, and I in the street were floating all kinds of I wreckage, boxes, barrels, etc. A scene lof wild desolation was presented. I Many frame buildings were demolished, and the more substantial [ ones were undermined so badly that most j of them will have to be rebuilt.;- The I town, in fact, is a desolate ruin. Thirteen | persons are missing, and are believed to j have been drowned. Nine bodies were ; recovered from the ruins of wrecked buildings. The lost are mostly colored people. The greatest confusion prevailed, and it is likely the loss of life will prove to have been greater. The loss will run far up into the hundreds of thousands of doliais. A fire broke out in the warehouse of Pryor & Co., of Baltimore, Md., rapidly extending to the drug house of Winkleman & Co. Firemen soon entered the j building, when a terrible explosion oci curved, and the large structure collapsed, burying the firemen in the debris. Only one escaped. Those buried in the building were George Bowers, Thomas Wagner, John A. Combs, Perry Ryan, Harry Walker, George Kerins and Hiram Mci Afee. The entire block from Lombard to I Pratt street was burned, causing a loss of j $1,500,000. Jacob Greweling, a boot and shoe ■ dealer at Louisville, has failed for ■ SIO,OOO. _ WASHINGTON, Following is the public debt statej ment for August: INTEHEST-BEABING DEBT.

A SPECIAL dispatch from Norfolk, Va., says: Republicans of the Second Virginia District, in convention in this city, renominated George i F. Bowden for Congress, and appointed George I A. Martin, who was elected by tue Mahone sac- > tionof the Stale Convention at Petersburg in j May as Presidential elector from the district, j There was an exciting contest between Martin and General V.

The Krupps are reported to be buying : lands in Eknterinoslaff, Russia, where it ■ is said they will establish a factory in ; which to manufacture guns for Russia. The Albanian Manifesto, a new paper i issued by an Albanian society at Bucharest, urges Albanians to energetically resist Greek oppression and strive for inde- ‘ 1 ondence, and appeals to the people to ' furnish funds in defense of their cause. Dispatches from Mellparne, Australia, announce that in a test action in the Supreme Court a Chinese emigrant sued the Government for damages for prohibiting him fiom lauding. A majority of the judges decided in favor of the j plaintiff. Tbe Chief Justice dissented. The Hoods in Bohemia have reached | alarming proportions. At Budweis 15.- ! 000 persons are homeless. The inhab- ; itants took refuge in the hills The Danube rose steadily. Six villages in the Valley of Poprad were submerged. The villagers tied to the mountains. Crops and granaries were swept away. GENERAL. Dun & Co.’s crop and business re- I view for last week is as follows: Crop reports have become exceedingly contra- I dietary and eoniusiuDispatehis by the score I aio publiehel asseraug tout froits have cut ’ down the yield of spring when greatly, espeeia ly in Dakota and Minnesota, ami at the ; same time the Government reports are gioatiy , exaggerated. Such confusing accounts from ail : quarters have helped an active speculation, ' with sales of 31,039,033 bushels in New York, and | a net dec iao in price of only halt a cent for i this week. These facts lead to the suspicion that ' gloomy reports are being n ed to unload specu- ; la.ivo burdens, and that the actual outcome I will not fall much below previous estimates. I Corn is a fraction lowir, with sales of 9,0J0,000 { bushels, and oats 5 cents higher, with some ac- I tivily. In provisions, also, there has been ae- i live speciiltition, an advance, and a reaction. | Hogs remained 1) cents higl er. The dry goods market has been active and buoyant. At some ; points collections were fairly good, but a I much great' r number of reports note more than usual tardiness Ur the season, ami c mplaints are general. Yet there is a noticeable increase in conlidenoj as to the immediate future of business in almost every quarter from which reports are received, and banking returns show a c jutinued increase in exchange. The business failures number 236, as compared with a total of 214 hist week and 219 the wie’.; pre. vious. Forth.: c >rrespondiug week of hist year the figures were 193. In August the failures numbered 'J/2, against 777 last year. The weather-crop bulletin, issued at Washington, says: The weather during the hist week hits bion unusually favorable for the ripening, harvesting, and thras -lag of wheat .11 Minnesota and Dakota. It ba> also bom hi.oraLle in the greatcr portion oi the corn belt, but too much rain occurred in the extr mj soutlieru portions ; of the 'States bordering on the Ohio. Repi ns ; Iran Kansas indica.e hat. the cornel op is secure ! and past possible iiijiuy srom frost. Light j fros s occurred in the upper Like region, probably causing some damage to the cranberry crop in Wisconsin. Thu woatlnr ha been too cold in Michigan to favor a rapid growth of corn, but no injury to the crop is reportidinih.it State, Ind cutting will cimuiei.ee this week. The heavy corn crop in Kentucky is reported somewhat damn; od by recent rains. In the Middle Slates f ivombb conditii ns have prevailed bothforthe ripening of corn and for fall plowing.

DOINGS OF CONGRESS. IMPORTANT MEASURES CONSIDERED AND ACTED UPON. At the Nation’s Capitol — What Is Being Done by the Senate and House — Old Matters Disy osed of and New Ones Cons dared. The President’s retaliation message was brought up in the Senate, the 3Cth, and Mr. George proceeded with his remarks begun the previous day. He den ed Mr Edmunds’ assertion that the President had the right to suspend the section ' of the Revised Statutes allowing the transit inbond of Canadian goods across United States territory, and said that such autocratic power was de--11 ed the executive by tho cons.itution and was only possessed by some potentates in Europe and Asia. Mr, Cullom exp ess d the opinion that in the not far distant future the Canadian provinces would become a part of the United States, and sir'd that the retaliation message might be fairly taken as evidence that even the 1 it sidem has become sitti* led that the tie ity was a mis.ake. He argued that the Secretary of the Treasury already had the Ip< wer practically to prohibit shipments ' ircm < auada to United States ports i lor expor.a.ion by establishing such rules and | regulations as would make it inconvenient. The Smtite adopted the following amendmen s to i the foreific.itions bill; Providing for a snper- | vising board ; increasing from $203,000 to $503,<HO th.: item for torpedoes for harbor defense; reducing the up propriation for a 1 gun factor; and machinery at Watervliet arsenal fiom $750,060 to $550,000; increase mg the ~ appropriation for steel for guns ■>'om 81,560,003 to 82,500,030, and insertin' the word “American” before the word “forgings." the sub-connnittee of the House Committee on : roreig i Affairs completed a substitute for the | v\ 1 son retaliation bill, which was unanimously adopted by the full comm ttee and afterwind re- । TR® Rom e. The substitute is practically the Wilson bill with its ambiguous expressions ■ corrected. The House again attempted to consider th? Oklahoma bill in committee, but after two amendments had been rejected the point of no quorum was raised and the House adjourned. Both houses agreed to the conference report i n the bill for the sale of the Fort Wallace military' reservati n in Kansas. | The Senate resumed consideration of the fortifications bill on t — 31st ult., the question being on the adoption of an amendment authorizing contracts for cast-iron, breech-loading i mortars, not less than fifty nor more than one hundred, nt a cost not exceeding §6,500 each, and i of single charge, breech-loadin ' steal guns, not less than fifty ten-inch an I fifty twelve-inch, ata reasonable pric :; appropriating $530,000 for investi gat ions, experiments, and tests, providing 1 that the contracts shall not involve an aggregate i expenditure of over 86,0)3,030, or an annual expenditure of over 82,903,0'3), requiring nil guns, etc., to boos American production, and to be i furnished by citizens of the United States. , The amendment was adopted and the bill ; passed. The Senate passed the House joint I resolution to extend until Sept. 15 the joint res- | olution of July 31 to provide temporarily for I the expenses of the Government. The House j joint resolution to authorize the Seer, tary of ) the Interior to certify hinds to the State of K nsas for the benefit of agriculture au I the mechanical arts was passed by the Senate. : The House spent nearly the whole day in com- ; mittee of the whole on the report of the confer- ’ once on the sundry civil appropriation bill, and । it was fine y adopted. The Senate amendments, : upon which an agreement had not been reached i in conference, were then taken up and the re--1 mainder of the session was devoted to the dis- : mission of the •amendmen' relative to the Con- ! gressional Library building. The House insisted : on its disagreement and adjourned, leaving the ! other amendments pending. Jx the House Mr. Outhwaite of Ohio, on the 31st ult., called up the motion recently made by him to reconsider the votes by which the Columbus Exposition bill was amended by making provisions for expositions nt Richmond, Va,, Augusta. Ga., j Atlanta, Ga , and Kansas City, Mo. 'lhe motion i to reconsider was agn eI t >”as far as the Richmond and August i Expositions were concerned, but a stumbling-block wus reached 011 the motion to reconsider the vote by which the amendment i.ppropriatii g $251,009 for the Atlmta Colored Exposition view agreed to, and a rollcall was taken on u motion made by Mr. Henderson of lowa to table tl e moI tion to reconsider. The vo o resulted, yeas 87, nays 64 no quorum—mid a cull of the House i was ordered. The call developing the presence of a quorum, further proceedings under the cull were dispensed with, and Mr. Forney, of Alu- । boma, as a question of privilege, called up the 1 sundry civil appropriation bill with Senate . amendments which have not been agreed to in ! conference. After discussion the House ad- ’ journed without action. Tin; So into proceeded t.> the eonsiderat’on of the bill for tie admission of the State of Washington on the 3d inst., Ind was en- ; gaged in it when a message was received from the House with the bill lor the absolute exclusion of Chile ie immigration. Mr. Stewart moved .nt the bill for the ad- ; mission of Washington be laid aside, and that j the Chinese bill be trken up for inimediite action, Agr e 1 to. Mr. George moved that the bill be referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. After some discussion the bid went j over. In the House the Chinese bill passed ! v. itlu ut an objection or division. The measure 1 forbids the return to this country ..f any Chinese laborer after be has one • left the United States, mul declares that nil certificates of identity uud r that act to Chinamen who desire to return ; are null and void. The Oklohama ; bill is practically a dead issue. The House ‘ pass d, under suspension of the rules and over i the opposition of Mr. Blount, of Georgia, the j bill to increase the detail of army and navy of- : fie is to Sire colleges and universities for in- • si rnctors in mili ary tactics. The bill is the one I whi h Ims resulted from agitatiou on th? sub- | ject started first by the Governor of Minnesota । and the Regents of the State University in their j efforts to secure a military instructor detailed ; from the army to remain constantly at the uni- | versify instead of alternating every four years with the University of Nebraska. The Senate devoted the larger part of its session, the 4th inst., to listening to a speech by Mr. Teller on the House bill to prohibit Chinese immigration Mr. Toller began by defending Gen. Harrison s record on the Chinese question, and iliariicteiizing the attack 011 him in that connection as on a par with the Morey letter of 1880. Comparing the couts • of the two parties in California, Mr. Teller said the lb publicans there had always been opposed to Chinese immigration, while the Democ atic party had not been. The bi 1 went over The S mate has confirmed the nomination of W. G. Allan, of South Carolina, as Consul at Kimston, Jamaica. A memorial was pre sen ed in the Senate from the Deepvva er or Hnrbur Committee of Galveston, Tex., favorin ’ a deep water harbor on the northwest coast of the G If of Mexico. The retaliation bill was Hie special order in tire House, and the ; Presid nt’s message was discussed by various i members, A bill was passe I by the House di- | rooting the site of two lots in De.roit ai d the | restoring of the purchase money to the appropriation for the public bui din;' in that city. The Heu io passed u bill punishing by a tine of not more than 81,000, or imprisonment for not 1110 e than ti reo years, deale. s and pretended dea ers in couuteiieit money or other fraudulent devices for using the United States mail. Remarkahle Self-Sacrifice. A family of San Luis Potosi possessed a very fine rattlesnake. They had captured it by me ms of a forked stick when it was but a baby, and succeeded in domesticating it. In the coarse of years it grew to be fourteen feet in length, ami became tame and playful, never showing the slightest symptom of anger when handled by the children, but it would not allow its 5 rattles to be touched. It became very much alia -ked to its master, and would follow him around like a dog. During the recent storm in San Luis many of the houses were struck by lightning. The bolts were falling fast about the dwelling which sheltered the snake from childhood. Nobly determined to die for its benefactors, the serpent crawled up the outside walls of the । house, and, mounting the roof, it stood j on its head in a perpendicular position i for the space of several minutes, .1 shaking its ratfl s vioh ntly at ihe heavens, like Ajax defying the light- । ning. Th • electricity, attracted by this living lightning-rod, reduced to I ashes the noble animal and also the house.

The bite is rarely felt unless it is malignant and persistent. Disease, too, often steals upon us through a vital channel. The air we breathe affects the lungs—if it be malarious it enters the blood, if it change too Quickly in the temperature it produces disease of the throat, etc. Whether Hos- 1 tetter's Stomach Bitters is taken to prevent or to remedy the various forms of disease produced by miasma., such as intermittent fever, dumb ague, ague cake or bilious remittent, it is and ever has proved to be an effective and thorough remedy—one which does not only ameliorate the symptoms of the maladies of this typo, but eradicates their cause. Dyspepsia, liver com- I plaint, rheumatism, bladder and kidney troubles are among the Lumanity-atflicting troubles which it promptly relieves and ultimately re- 1 moves. Mahomet, or Mohammed, was born j in Mecca, in Arabia, in the year 570 or I 571, was denounced as a madman or | impostor by the people of his native city, when he promulgated his docrine, and was forced to flee to what is now Medina. The date of his flight, or "Hi gira” as the Arabs call it, was July 15. (>22 A. D. The prophet died in 632, just as he was preparing to carry anew religion beyond the bounds of Arabia. Edwin Forrest’s Secret. The groat tragedian, Forrest, had a secret which everybody ought to learn and profit by. Said he: “I owe all my success to the fact

Don’t neglect that hacking cough, those night-sweats, that feeble anil capricious appetite, and the other symptoms, trifling in tnemselves, but awful in their sign fieance. They herald the approach of consumption. You are in danger, but ycu can be saved Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery will restore you to health and vigor, as it has thousands of others.

Do you remember his sallow complexion? Do vou recollect how ho used to coinplain of headaches and constipation? “I’m getting quite bilious,” ho said to you one day, “but 1 guess it’ll puss off. I haven’t done anything lor it, because I don’t believe in ‘dosing. Soon after that you heard of his death. It was very sudden, and every one was greatly surprised. If he had taken Dr. Pierce s Pleasant Purgative Pellets he would be alive and well to-day. Don’t follow his example. The “Pellets” are easy to take, mild in their action, and always sure.
