Intelligence by Electric Wire from Every Quarter of the Civilized World, Embracing Foreign Affairs and Home Happenings of an Important Nature. THE PILLSBURY MILL DEAL. Senator Waffibu-n. Naw in London, Tells of the New Company’s Plans. A London cable says; The sale of the great mills of the Washburns and Pillsbury, has been concluded, as well as that of their milling, elevator and water power properties, concerning which negotiations have been under way for many weeks. Lhe sale is to a company recentiV organ- ^, ed and to be known as the PillsburyMashburn Flour Mill Company. It is composed of American and English stockholders. Ex-Governor Pillsbury, Senator V . D W ashburn and C. A. Pillsbury andfour English associates will form the board of directors. Senator Washburn says that the new company would make extensive additions and improvements in the pioperty, as the infusion of English blood would greatly increase the foreign of the mill s products, one-third of which is now exported. The propertv disposed of consists of mills A. B and Anchor of C. A. Pillsbury A Co.; Lincoln i and Palisade mills of the Washburn Mill ' Company, 130 elevators of the Minnesota I “ Northern Elevator Company, the water I power of the Minnesota Mill I Company and St. Anthony's Falls I M ater Power Company, and ncentrolliiiff j^terest in Ue Atlantis Elcvatr^^ I ny. -' 111 - -v-iy elevators. The capital stock of the new company is $5,000,000, and the debenture bonds $3,175,000. The amount paid for the property according to Senator Washburn, is $6,250,000, The sellers of the property retain a large interest therein. The mills of the C. C. Mashburn estate are not included in the deal. OUR CUSTOMS. Report of Commissioner Holliday for the Past Fiscal Year. The Commissioner of Customs, Samuel V. Holliday, in his report for the fiscal yea± ended June 30. 1889, shows the settlement of accounts amounting to $225.202,413. The amount paid out of the treasury on account of the bureau was $20,153,992. The Commissioner calls attention to the necessity for specific legislation to fix beyond doubt the status per diem of employes of customs in regard to leaves of absense, and says it is important that collectors of customs should be authorized to appoint such deputies and clerks as may be authorized at each port. He also urges an increase of the permanent appropriation for the expense of collecting the customs, so that recourse to the income from collections will not be necessary. WRECK IN VIRGINIA. Three Men Killed and Several Hurt in a Collision on the Norfolk and Western. A passenger train going east over the Norfolk and M'estern Railroad collided with a west-bound freight train a mile below Buford Station, Va. Three men were killed outright and several were injured. The killed were: Lee Jones, fireman on the freight; Sonny McDau, a colored tramp from Lynchburg; Joe Gwinn, a colored brakeman. The accident resulted from a misapprehension of ordeis. When the freight passed Thaxton it had until 1:20 a. m. to reach Buford siding, but the conductor read the order 1:40 a. m., and, thinking he had ample time, ran ahead. An old colored man signaled the passenger train and warned it of the approaching freight train. Speed was reduced, but the collision could not be avoided. Four freight cars, a postal car, and both engines were badly wrecked. IS THE ALTON ROAD SOLD? A Report that the Vanderbilts Have Secured It Denied. President Blackstone, of the Chicago and Alton, says there is not a scintilla of truth in the reported sale of that road to the Vanderbilt interests. There have been no negotiations to that end. Efforts were recently made by the Big Four syndicate to close a traffic agreement with the Alton, but none of the plans proposed were acceptable to President Blackstone, and the matter has been dropped for the present. There has been no offer to buy the road. THE BENDER FAMILY. Kansas Officers Believe Th<*y Have Captured Them in Michigan. Kansas officers have taken to that State from Niles, Mich.', a woman calling herself Mrs. Munro, whose daughter was acquitted the other day of a charge of grand larceny. It is alleged that the aged dame is the infamous Mrs. Bender, whose family many years ago committed many murders in Labette County, Kansas. Mrs. Davis, the daughter, insists that the Munro woman is, in fact, Mrs. Bender; and many persons believe that Mrs. Davis is herself the notorious Kate Bender. The Murat-Caldwell Wedding Off. The marriage w hich had been arranged between Prince Murat and Miss Gwendoline Caldwell has been abandoned. Prince Murat has left Paris, and Miss Caldwell has embarked for New York. ‘‘ Texas Jack” Nabbed for Counterfeiting. At Ashtabula, Ohio, Jack Holmes, alias “Texas Jack,” has been arrested. In his possession was found a full set of molds for making counterfeit silver dollars. Yankee Electric Lights for China. Pittsburgh is to furnish China with electric lights. The M estinghouse Electric Light Company has just secured the contract to erect a central station for a verv lar^e electric light plant in 1 eking, China, and the machinery for the plant has been shipped. The town is to be lighted throughout with many thousand incandescent lamps. A “ Day ” for Pitcher Tener. John Kinley Tener, one of Chicago's base-ball pitchers, has been married at Haverhill, Mass., to Miss Harriet J. Day. EASTERN OCCURRENCES. The Boston (Mas-. ) Journal says. After a long warfare in M estern passenger rates between the Boston and Albany and Fitchburg roads, an agreement has been reached. New rates will be announced within a few days. An Erie, Pa.,'dispatch says: The borough of Findlay’s Lake, situated on the line between Pennsylvania and New Vork States, had its business portion wiped out at an early hour this morning. Fire broke out in the basement of* Durham & Calhoun’s general mer-

chandise store and spread rapidly. There was no fire department, and the people became panic-stricken. After the fire had razed the business-houses to the । ground, the citizens saved the residence । portion by tearing down buildings. In all twelve buildings were destroyed. The loss is $40,000; insurance, SIB,OOO. It is believed that the fire was of incendiary origin. John C. Haymond, formerly an architect and builder at New York, is on trial at New Brunswick, N. J., for arson, the list of his offenses being very long. His scheme, as alleged, was to buy houses, and then burn them to secure the insurance. A compromise has been effected in the contest at New Brunswick, N. J., over the will of Millionaire Christopher Meyer, by which his widow and granddaughter receive large sums each. WESTERN HAPPENINGS. A San Francisco dispatch says: Mrs. Charles Crocker, widow of the Southern Pacific Railroad millionaire, died suddenly of apoplexy at her residence on C lifornia street. A few weeks ; ago she returned fiom a prolonged visit I to Europe., where she went after her bus- I band A death. She came I ack to be present at the distribution of his Luge estate, of which she received one-third, amounting to someth ng over ten million dollars. Although she had been a semi-invalid for some time, no one expected her death. She was very hospitable and given to works of charity, having, with Mrs. Stanford, established a large number of kindergartens in San Francisco. Her most lecent charitable work was the building given to the Old Ladies’ Home. Her maiden name was Mary A. Deming, and she came from Albany, N. Y. Mrs. Crocker’s great, fortune will go to her daughter. Mrs. C. B. Alexander, of New York, and to her three sous, Colonel Fred, William H. and George Crocker, all of whom live in Ban Francisco'. ' - * | A rfvris, Mo., dispatch savs: The I Intermit ion al American Congress arrived nt 7 o'clock in the evening. At Keokuk four membeis of Gov. Francis’ stun met the party and accompanied them to St. | Louis. On arrival the party were taken to the Southern Hotel. On all the streets red tire was burned, roman candles and rockets, were sent up, and the sidewalks lined with spectators. After supper the visitors attended a reception at the Merchants’ Exchange. Gov. Francis and staff were present in uniform and all of St. Louis’ society ladies were in attend- ! ance. The reception lusted three hours. [ Mr. Marvin, Chairman of the Relief j Committee for the Dakota sufferers, states that ho feels convinced from in- ■ formation received that there are nearly | 20,00(1 families, representing a total of | upwards of 100.000 people, who are des- I titute iu the Dakotas. James Marr, the colored janitor of j the Mercantile Bank at Kansas City, I Mo., was arrested charged with having stolen $1,500 from the bank's vault. He i confessed the crime, and took the detec- ; fives to where he had left the money. All 1 but $8 was recovered. It is reported that as the result of a hailstorm in the Cherokee strip, 10,000 | cattle belonging to the Cherokee Cattle | Company stampeded and scattered in, Kansas, and it is supposed the company . v ill suffer considerable loss. The fertilizer building of Armour & ' Co.’s establishment at Kansas City has been destroyed by fire, entailing a loss of $ 110,000, fully covered by insurance. A negro perished in the Hames. SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. A call for a mass meeting has been is- : sued at Richmond, Va., the purpose being : the formation of an organization to se- [ cure white nurses for white children. It j is asserted that lunacy is on the increase i among negroes, and that their moral lax- ' ity is simply deplorable. At Alexandria, La„ John David Green, a negro, was tried for abusing Malinda Wallace, aged 12 years, near Cherryville, Oct. 19 of last year, this being his third ! trial. The jury brought in the verdiet of “Guilty without capital punishment.” As he was being conveyed to the jail he attempted to escape from Sheriff Stafford, who had him in charge. He at first attempted to run after the fleeing prisoner, but he got tripped and fell, and by that time Green was thirty yards away. Stafford pulled his pistol and tired, the ball passing through Green’s body and producing a fatal wound. The building No. 165 Canal street, New Orleans, La., lower floor, occupied by E. A. Tyler’s Sons, jewelry and fancy goods, the upper floors by dentist and millinery establishments, has been entirely gutted by fire. The fire was preceded by an explosion, thecause of which is unknown. The flames communicated to the adjoining building, occupied by Kuntz’s saloon, restaurant, and confectionery. The upper portion of this building and the contents also burned. The buildings on cither side were badly damaged by water. Loss $50,000. Gov. Fowles, of North Carolina, has i received advices from Lexington that ! about twenty of the men who assisted in ; lynching Berrier, who murdered his । mother-in-law, have been arrested. The . ringleaders of the lynchers have fled | from Lexington. More arrests will follow, j THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. A special from Fortress Monroe, where Private Secretary Halford has been staying for his health, says that, owing j to continued illness, Mr. Halford has re- ! signed, and that I). G. Alexander, of I Buffalo, N. Y., has been tendered the position. Mr. Halford has suffered j from a distressing complaint since early ; in the summer, and most of the time j since May has performed the duties cf j his position not at all, or only with great difficuly and personal discomfort, j While at Deer Park with the President he improved considerably, and on his re- । turn to Washington attempted to resume his labors, but found the strain too great ■ and went to Fortress Monroe iu hopes of j regaining his former health. The dis- । patch indicates that he has become dis- ■ couragod over nis long illness and re- , signed. A letter received at Washington , from Chairman Cooley, of the Interstate : Commission, from Ann Arbor, states that ' he is steadily recovering from his late illness, and expects within a short time I to return to official work at Washington. I It is understood Secretary Noble and j Commissioner Baum propose to dismiss • all pension office employes who were j beneficiaries of Tanner’s rerating. There > were thirty in all, but some have already been dismissed. RAILWAY GOSSIP. A New York dispatch says: The Chicago and Alton Railroad has been i absorbed by the Union Pacific Company, , through the purchase of a majority of ■ the stock of the first-named company by | the officers of the latter. In brief, the ' Chicago and Alton becomes an integral part of the Union Pacific — \ anderbilt chain of roads between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and the great lakes of the North and the Gulf of Mexico on the South. President Charles Francis Adams, of the Union Pacific, has practically con-

> eluded arrangements with Vice President McMullin of the Chicago and Alton for > the passing of a majority interest in the > shares of the latter company into his own > hands. The transaction involves a large i sum of money, and in this feature of the > ■ deal President Adams was fortunate in ; having the co-operation of the Vander- " bilts. The latter, it is said, stood ready to furnish one-half the sum required to pay for the Chicago and Alton stock, | while other interests in the recently j formed combination agreed to supply the > remainder. Exactly how much cash, if any. has passed in the operation is not known, but the amount involved is probably not far from $12,40(1,000. POLITICAL PORRIDGE. The President has appointed John C. Slocum, of Florida, to be Surveyor General of Florida. Mrs. Emma Beckwith has been nominated by the Equal Rights party for Mayor of Brooklyn, N. Y. She promises many reforms if elected, and agrees to devote her sal try to pay ng the matrons of the various police stations. President Hai bison has appointed I John Field postmaster at Philadelphia, i vice Wm. F. Hurrity, removed. INDUSTRIAL ITEMS. P. M. Arthur has been re-eieeted for the fouith time Grand Chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. It required but one ballot in the Denver convention to elect Arthur, and the vote stood as follows: Arthur, 313; George Vroman, 101; and S. Vedder, of California. 1. (hi the result being announced the convention went almost wild, and for over an hour hundreds of men clamored around their grand old chief and shed tears of joy on his re-election. Joseph 11. Sprague, of Canada, the present incumbent, was re-electel Third Grand Engineer. Cleveland, Ohio, has been i retained as the raf ; onn| headquarters. I * ACROSS THE OCEAN The British ship Bolan, from Calcutta | for Liverpool, has foundered at sea. Thir-ty-three lives were lost. In a railway accident at Hatras, near Agra, India, fifteen persons were killed and forty injured. The general transatlantic line steamer Ville de Brest burst her boiler in Tunis Bay. Five persons were killed by the explosion. j In deference to the earnest desire of j Lord Salisbury the Queen has consented : to open the British Pa-liament in person, I and arrangements for the ceremony, which I will take pl ice in the first week of Febj ruary, are already making. The presence • of her Majesty upon the occasion is ex- ! pected to contribute greatly to the advan- | tage of the government in certain legisla- ! tion which is to be introduced during the i session, and this view of the matter is I said to have been presented to the Queen 1 in the endeavor to obtain her consent to exercise ter pari' unentarv prerogative. FRESH AND NEWSY. ■ In Quebec Messrs. Robitaille, Bernier j A Bernier, proprietors of one of the j largest dry-goo Is and retail houses have i made an assignment. Their liabilities ' are SBO,OOO. Glide Bouchard, another | dry-goods dealer, has also made nn j assignment. His liabilities are $20,000. The world's base-ball championship was decided in New York when the New York team won its sixth game from the Brooklyn club. The closing game was an excellent exhibition of ball playing, and the Giants had to play hard to win. and well earned their victory. They outplayed the Bridegrooms at every i point of the game ami managed to make ■ their hits just at the proper time. The । score of the final game was 3 to 2 iu I favor of New York, and when the last i Brooklyn man bad been put out the ! great prize for which the Giants had been struggling since last April was theirs. The faithful cranks cheered them heartily, and the season of 18s 1 ,) Cll me to an end. R. G. Duz. Co.’s weekly review of trade says: The money market has become more easy, with pros; e.-t that seri ’nsdisturl uuce this season is no longer to be apprehended. The banks are running with narrow reserves, and artificial stringency may at any time lie engineered, but the movement of crops Lus been heavy. Merchandise exports ti r three weeks show a gain of 1-1 per cent, over last year, against again of 10 per cent, in imports. There is a little more stringency at Omaha, less at Cleveland, and an active demand with conservative tone ai Chicago, but otherwise the markets West and South all report supplies adequate for legitimate needs. Collections are unusually satisfactory at almost all piiats, though Milwaukee notes some tardiness, because farmers hold back products for bet ter prices. The volume of trade, is greater than a year ago. Chicago finds a larger increase, particularly in dry-goods, while sales of clotl i >g ; aud shoes are fair, of provisions larger than hist year's, and of grain about as Imge. The wool trade has been th 1 largest at New York for a long time, and more active at Boston, where sales were 3,1ti0,000 pounds, but dull at Philadelphia. Iron grows stronger. Liquidation in wheat continues, with prices 3 cents lower than a week ago. Stubborn facts, heavy receipts, and scanty exports wear out tlio patienceof those who have had faith in the world's famine, and State official reports indicate a larger yield than those of the department. Corn is % cent liighar, and the export movement still exceeds I last year’s. Pork products are weak, and i sugar is again lower. Cotton continues downI ward. The speculative markets are not proinis- | ing. and are judiciously let alone by the public. I But the outlook for all depa' tuif nts of legitiI mate business is more encouraging than it has : been for a long time. The business failures during the last seven days number, for the United | States 188, and for Canada 37. For the correI spending week last year the figures were 222 failures in the United Suites and 32 in the Dominion of Canada. MARKET REPORTS.

The Greatest Mining Camp. “The Leadville of Montana” Butte was called five years ago. But now it is “the greatest mining camp in the world.” Last year’s returns brought Butte to the front of all camps, just as it placed Montana at the top of the list of the States and Territories. Montana’s outp’ tof gold and silver in 1888 was $24,618,000. That gave her first place by $2,(>00,000. And when the copper product was added her contribution to these three items of the wealth of the country reached $40,500,000. This year, if the remaining two months sustain the record of the past ten, the new State will show a yield of $50,000,000 in gold, silver and copper. Surely Mo itaiia has earned her Statehood at a good round price. Her proud position at the head of the gold, silver and co}>per producing States and Territories Montana owes to Butte. More than half of last year's $40,500,000 came from this camp. The development Inis been recent and marvelously rapid. Five years ago “the Leadville of Montana” was a very appropriate title, for Butte then was turning out 86.000.000 a year. But now. with a twelvemonths’ showing of $24,000,000. the claiin to be “the richest camp in th > world” must be conceded. — Butte ( Jfon.) Letter.

It originates in a cold, or succession of colds, combined with impure blood.
