to refit, but it is said she is really off on a 1

sealing cruise into Behring Sea, -where the owners believe they have a legal right to hunt seal. This action shows what the popular feeling is there in regard to the United Stat j tLricdi at job iix &ehru&g Sea and hei power to enforce it. Boll Worms and Bust. The boll worm has made its appearance in the cotton-fields of Arkansas to an alarming extent. The cotton also has rust very bad in some places. Up to a short time ago the prospect for a very heavy yield was flattering. At present the pro&peots are gloomy. A Pastor's Suicide. At St. Louis, Mo., the Rev. C. V. Wargowski, a minister, formerly of Chicago, committed suicide by shooting himself through the head in the Western depot.

EASTERN OCCURRENCES. There was an explosion of fire-damp in the No. 2 colliery of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, at Scranton, Pa., and five men wero seriously and perhaps fatally burned. A Niagara FaMiS (X. Y.) dispatch says: Carlisle I). Graham has made a successful trip through the whirlpool rapids in a barrel-shaped boat. At first the boat traveled easily, but soon was in the grasp of t he more lapid current that hastened its journey. When it struck the big wave in front of Buttery's ele-

WESTERN HAPPENINGS!. An investigation by Territorial Veternanan Collins of the epidemic among cattle in Yankton County, Dakota which has been fatal in over 300 cases, develops the fact that the disease is splenic apoplexy, caused by drinking impure water. Upward of thirty herds are affected, and the epidemic has not jet been brought under control. The factory of Saminons, Clark k Co., manufacturers of picture frames and moldings, was destroyed by fire. The loss amounts to $12,000 on the four -story and basement building and $30, COO on the stock and machinery. A Sak Fbakcjsco dispatch says: The steamer Oceanic hits arrived from Hong Kong and Yokohama, bringing advices

fup to Aug. 10. Further details of the

bursting of the YelJow Ilivor embankments, in the province of SoaiUuug, July 22, state that the destruction is widespread. The breach iu the river is over 2,000 feet in length, and a swift current swept through, flooding to the depth of twelve feet a largo extent of country lying adjacent. Many houses were washed away, and a dispatch from Chefoo states that the number of persons drowned is too great to be cornted,, Ten districts are alrtaiy subme;getl, and it is feared that many more in the lowlying country south will suffer a emilar fate Latest advices concerning the earthquaka at Kumumota July 28 place the number of the killed at eiphtec uand the wounded at nineteen. Fifty-two dwellings were demolished. A tele gram of the 30th of July states that fifty-three shocks have been experienced and that they continue to be felt. Tne inhabitants were sleeping in the open nir. The sunie

earthquake was felt in the provhvo of Clukugo. Considerable lo6s of lifo :.s reported, but no particulars have been received. Lett Nye, a pioneer of Chico, Cal , died, aged 74. He built the first frame house erected in Sacramento. Henry Shaw, the venerable philanthropist of St. Louis, and the best friend St. Lonis ever had, is dead. He died without showing evidences of physical pain or mental suffering. At his bedside were Mrs. Julia Monies, Mr. Shan's sister, and a number of his most intimate friends. Shaw's estate is valued at $2,500,000, and it is thongnt the greater part will be left to the city of St. Louis in various bequests. Jacob Mill eh, one of the wealthiest men in Ohio, died at Canton. He was a noted philanthropist. The North Dakota Millers' Association has decided to place an ageni; in London to dispose of fiour direct to the bakers of Great Britain, and J. S. Biillyer, of Bismarck, will depart immediately to attend to that duty. It is thought this will have a strong tendency to strengthen the home wheat market, and besides will result in the building of a number of new mills. Meageb news of a riot at Jardineville, Ark., has been received at Little Bock. Several persons are known to have been 6hot to death and many are reported wounded. The list of the dead includes Joseph Jordan, William Newcoinb, Frank Holt, and Anderson Nell. The e::act number of the dead and wounded is not known. The town of Port Costa, on Carquinez Strait b, the great grain entrepot of C alifornia, was the scene of a destructive fire involving a total less of about $600,000. The tire originated in warehouse No. 2, a wooden building 1,500 feet long, owned by G. W. McNear & Co. The warehouse cont alned about 7,000 tons of grain, which is a total loss. The fire communicated to the wharves and shipping alongside, and the American wooden Fhip Armenia and the British wooden hrp Honowaur, both partially loaded with wheat, were burned to the water's edge. The only casualty reported i the death of the Chinese cook on board the ship Honowaur, who was drowned by jumping from the ship. In addition to the warehouse and wharves, forty freight cars of the Southern Pacific Company, loaded with grain, were burned. A construction train on the northwestern extension of the Burlington and Missouri Kailway was wrecked near the Pine Ridge Tunnel, in the northwestern corner of the State. The train wiib backing and two cars were thrown from the track. Eleven men were hurt and two at least my die. George Moore, the engineer, and James MurD an, a laborer, are in a bad condit on. The others injured are: C. Compton, the conductor; Charles Strong; Jenbon Brown, Jens Hansen, Aimer Fairbanks, William Krupp, George Thomas, Charles Vermillion, and Robert HaiiKen. Nearly all the injuries are broken legs and dislocated ankles. It is thought that a plank on the track caused tbo wreck. A vestibule train on the Santa Fo Road bound for Chicago, and having a numbsr cf Grand Army men on board, was wrecked fifteen miles north of Streator, 111., throe coaches, two sleepers, and dining-car being thrown down an embankment. Fifty persons, mostly

residents of Kansas, were wounded. About a dozen of the victims ware dangerously hurt. At Stockton, Cal., Justice Swain, on motion of Distr ct Attorney White, dismissed the case against Judge Field, in connection with tlie killing of Judge Terry. S. J. CiiAliK has been arrested at Wiscoy, Minn., for using the'mailsfor fraudulent purposes. A. J. Jackson. Cleveland representative of Thomas Cook & Son, tourist agents, is short J?:SfCO0 in hies accounts, and is supposed to have gone to Canada. At San Francisco, Cal,, tho United States Circuit Court having been officially informed that the charge of murder against Justice Stephen J. Field had been dismissed by the Stockton court, Judge Sawyer accordingly dismissed (he habeas corpus proceedings in the case of Justice Field and said: Wo ere glad that tho proRocutlon of fr. Justice Field lias been diemifiKod, founded as it was upon the sole, reckless, and, as to him, manifestly false aQUlavit of vva whoso relation to the matters leading to tho tragedy, and whoso aniinositv toward the courts and "indues

who have found it riieir duty to decido against

for life. The decision was based on the conflict of medical testimony as 10 whether the poison found in Mr. Maybrick's stomach was sufficient to produce death. After a prolonged consultation between eminent lawyers and Mr. Matthews the unanimous opinion was arrived at that Mrs. Maybrick had administered poison to her husband with intent to kill. o further appeal, either for a release from prifeoa or for mitigation of the sentence to imprisonment for life, will be entertained. This decision is in accord vith public sentiment, and tho liveliest tiatu'f action is manifested ou all sides. An earthquake has been experienced on tho liussiau frontier. In the village of Kheuzorik 12D persons were buried alive. FRESH AND NEWSY Fire at St. Catharines, Out., totally destroyed the Empire aud the Phoenix flouring mills. The total loss is estimated at $200,000; insurance, $'35,000. Senator Mandeksox, of Nebraska, has forwarded to Commissioner Tanner a letter, in w hich he demands an exam

her. and especially against lr. .rustic Field, j whether or not he is entitled to the re-

rated pension recently granted him. In his letter he says the Commissioner will bear him out in the statement that the pension was wholly without his peeking, and was granted without his knowledge, although he would have a perfect light to apply for it under the laws. The weather crop bulletin says: The weather has been favorable for harvesting in Minnesota, where an unusually large wheat crop has been secured. Late crops have been in jured in Dakota by drought. For Pennsylvania, Iowa, and Illinois the weather is especially favorable for corn, which is maturing rapidly. In Michigan it has been unfavorable for corn, potatoes, and pastures. Over the greater portion of Kansas and the western half of Missouri the corn crop is excellent, but in eastern Missouri the crop has been injured by drought. Numerous reports from tho corn belt indicate that the crop will be secure from frost on Sept. 15. In the western Gulf States staple crops are much improved. The weather of the week has been generally favorable in New England and the Middle States. The monument to Eoscoe Conkling, recently placed over his grave at Forest Hill Cemetery in Utica, K, YM bears: this inscription: Eoscoe Conkling, born Oct. 30, 1S29; died April 16, 188." His death took place April 18. Tho discrepancy was not discovered until the monument was set up. It is not possible to nutke a change without disfiguring the frtono. The gross earning? of the Union Pacific Eailway for July wera 2,710.577, an increase over thu same month last year of $172,514. Bradstkeet's review of the state of trade says: Fpecial telegrams indicate no noteworthy change- in tho volume ot general merchandise being distributed, except that moderate) iucreates avo reported at Philadelphia, yt. Luia, Sew Orleans, St. Joseph, and Omaha. There ia an average movement at mont other pnims. aud nt alniOKt ail general belief favors an active fall trade. The unfavorable feat uze of the week ia found in rears of stringnienc nouey. more particularly at New York City. Mercantile collections South, West, aud Northwest tiro easier, and interior merchants feel en courted by generally favorable crop proaptcis. BrcadstuiTs markets have been depressed and prices lower all around. This ia caused by a (Utri'.tat .1 don Laud for flour, wht.vt and corn, both for heme use and for export. Western deliveries of wheat are restricted, but Kastern offering?; are freer. Tho la tier is true of corn Ka-a and West, and of oats. Kxports of -wheat (and llour as wheat ) aggregate U,7u3tU5 bushels (both coasts), against 1. lJ14. 412 Imshelb tho previous week and 2,336,(i'2u bushels one year ago. The aggregate exported from July 1 to date is i;i,5.nf,VjO, against 15.91)0,600 bushels in the" liko period of .1888. Dealings in hog products have been of fair proportiontj, but prices aro lower in sympathy with the West, business failures reported number 218 in the United State, against 177 the previous week and 357 The corresponding week last year. The total failures in the Cuitc-d btatcs from Jan. 1 to date is 7,427, against i,5S5 in 188$.

is part of tho iudicial and notorious public

history of tho coin try. It wan. so far as Sir. Justice- i'ield is concerned, a shameless proceeding, and, ns intimated by tho Governor cf the commonwealth, Mould have been a lasting disgrace to the State. Officers of the law should certainty have taken soino little pains to ascertain the facta before proceeding to arrest so distinguished a diguitaay and to attempt to incarcerate him in prison with felons, or to put him in a position to bo further degraded and perhaps assaulted by one bo violent as to bo publicly reported, not only ther but on numerous previous occasions, to have threatened his life. The case of Deputy Marshal Nagle was also taken up in the Circuit Court, and Judge Sawyer announced that a time would be set for taking testimony nnd arguing the law points in regard to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court, Gu stave Klaube, the Chicago tinsmith who made the boxes in which tho murdered Dr. Cronin's clothes are supposed to have been shipped to Europe, was nearly killed by a gang of roughs who attacked him on the street at night. At San Francisco, OalM Jack Dernpsey was knocked out by George Le Blanche in the thirty-second round of a prize fight. The fight was unde r tho auspices of the California Club. SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. A Moxtgomeut (Ala.) cotton circular says that this year's crop promises to be the largest ever produced in the United States. At Purvis, Miss., Bud Jlenand has been found guilty of jiarticipatin in a prize-iiht aud sentenced to $501) lin?. Ivencud was the man who made r.11 the an angoments lor the Sullivan-Kilrain liht. llenaud has token nn appeal to the Supreme Court and was released ou SoUO bail, and he also iurnisbed c:2(0 to appear as a witness iu December before the Grand tlnry. At Baltimore, Jake Kilrain was successful in his habeas corpus suit and was remanded to the care of the Mississippi oHicers, who took him to Purvis. While a party of laborers were drilling the powder out of an uuexploded blast in a tunnel at Bickley's Mills, ltussell County, Va., the charge exploded, aud an eighteeu-loot drill was driven into Miclmel Daucu's skull, half protruding on either side. John Bamery's hands were blown oft'. Joe Moore's shoulder was knocked of! by a fragment of rock, and William Burns vas fatally bruised by flying stones. Ax east-bound special train with officers of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad on board ran into an express train at Petrolia, W. Va. The fast express had been ordered to stop at Petroha and the paycar, with the officials of the road, had been ordered to stop at Silver Bun. Each tried to make the point and collided. At the time of the collision both trams wero ?oing thirty-five miles an hour. They met on a sharp curve, and, without a moment's warning, dashed into each other, wreck

ing both engines and the baggago-car. Three persons wero instantly killed, one fatally and fifteen slightly injured. The killed are: Engineer Layman, Fireman Jo.hu Fletcher, Fireman John Bailey. Engineer George Lowland was fatally injured. One of the officials, named Hunter, was perhaps fatally injured. Mrs, Manley, of Central, W. Va. , was badjy injured. Councilman Robert Mnlloy, of Parkersburg, was cut and bruised. Ba?agemaster Ross was cut. The colored porter on the special was thrown through a glass door and probably fatally injured. The will of John W. McCoy, of Baltimore, Just admitted to probate, makes the Johns Hopkins University tho residuary legatee and bequeaths to that institution $100,000. Sir. McCoy also leaves it his magnificent library and gives to the Peabody Institute his collection of paintings. The rest of the estate, about 150,000, is divided up among literary friends.

The Qnadruple Execution Carried Out ia Accordance with the LawSensational Scene on the Gallows One ol the Condemned Dies Assorting His Innocence. At New York, four coudemued murderers Patrick Packenham, Jack Iewis (colored), James Nolan, and Ferdfnand Carolin were hanged in the yard of the Tombs prison Friday morning. There were two scaffolds and two men were hanged on each. Pecfcenham and Nolan were first executed on the scaffold which had been erected on the Franklin street side of the prison. The Crop fell at 6:5o o'clock. Eight minutes later Lewis and Carohin were hanged from the gallowa near Ijeoniird street (Sheriff Flack and Under Sheriff Sexton entered the prison at 0:32 o'clock. They wera followed by twenty deputy sheriffs. At l:46 Carolin and Lewis were removed to the boys' jail, on tho Leonard street side. The last rites of the church were then administered. At 6:40 two of the condemned rion, Packenham and Nolan, emerged from the jail. Father Pendergast supported Packenham and Father Gelinas walked by Nolan's side. Father Van Rensellear followed, Packenhom'fl face was ghastly pale, but his step was firm. Nolan hardly appeared to realize his position. Reaching: their places under the ropes both men turned and grasped the priests by the hands. In a twinkling the black caps were adjusted, md Atkinson rapped threo times in rapid succession on the side of the box, wherein a third assistant stood with a hatchet. The third rap had hardly ben given when the bodies of tho murderers were swinging in the air. At the expiration of Jour minutes a mighty throe parsed through both of the suspended men. At 7:10 o'clock both men were pronounced dead, but were permitted to hang fifteen minutes longer. While this scene was being enacted preparations were being made for what proved to be the most shocking spectacle that has ever been witnessed within the walls of the Tombs prison. At 6:45 th6 two murderers received their last iipiritual consolation. At 7:03 Carolin and Lewis, accompanied by the priests, came through the door. Lewis waiked unsteadily for the first dozen paces, but quickly recovered himself. He was smiling? and looked fearlessly around him. Carolin's face was pale and the scowl upon il. almost demonaical. He glared at the priests .is he turned around and felt the rope touch his shoulder. Then he broke out into blasphemy that horrified the spectators. Looking sullenly at the priests he doomed man suddenly exclaimed: 4I die an innocent man, ; I dicln'tt do ;his thing.1' Lewi? half -turned his head and said: "What's tbe matter with you, anyway? Why don't you die like a man?" "1 will die like a man," shrieked Carolin, his face turning perfectly livid. i(I ffill die like a man an innocent man." The word s were scarcely out of his mouth when the black cap was clapped over the murderer's face, the signal was given and the weight fell. Instead of bounding upward as Packenham and Nolan had done, the wretched men went into the air with such little force that there was scarcely any spring at all. Lewis immediately began to struggle in the most sickening manner. He threw his legs about so violently as to kick off his slippers. Then he began to gurgle and choke. The rasping, whoey sound came from under the cap for fully ten seconds. His body turned and swayed, and the contortions were so painful that the spectators turned away their head-. The man was slowlv

strangled. Carolin's body also underwent art'

violent conwrtions but he uttered no sound. The weight fell at 7:03 o'clock and at 7:10 both men were dead.

Making a Large Fortune in Twenty Yettr of BnsLnesK Life He Retired and Spout Two Sicore Years in Study and Deeds ot Charity What He Has Done for MU Louis. A St Louis (Mo.) dLpatch mjn: Th flags in the city are at half-mast on itecount ot the death of Henry 6haw, the city's greatest benefactor. By proclaa tion of Mayor Noon an all tbe city office 7ero closed on the day of the funeral. Mr. tihaw was an Englishman by birth coming of a sturdy and thrifty stock notedfor business sagacity and success in life Leaving his native city at the age of I'Jha came to America and located finally in St, Louis, arriving here May 4, 1819. em barked in the hardware business on hi own account in a small establishment on the river front, where he prospered, and after tv en ty years of active commercial life he found himself possessed of a com petence that justified him in his determination to retire from business. This he did wh in but 40 years of age, since whicfav time he had not been connected with any enterprise that required either his attention or the investment of any portion of his wealth. Even during the busiest part of his lif he had found time for study, and when heretired from active life Mr. Shaw was well fitted to appreciate and profit by the year of lrav.:'l in which he indulged at this period. He visited nearly every quarter of the globe, being away from this country ten years. It was upon his return front this Ion.? period of travel that he comn enced the study and cultivation of plants and flowers, and it was in the prosecution of thesi studies that tbe now world-renowned botanical gardens had their origin Devotea to the fascinating pursuit with which lie sought to ornament his life of leisure and culture, Mr. &haw determined to extend to others the pleas ir that his wealth had procured for himself, and to that end made his gardens and beautiful estate free to the public. He continued en larging and adding to the gardens, maintained them entirely at his own expense, and yet generously allowed such free use and en joy men i of them that they were aa much a place of resorc as could have been a city park or other public property. In tha extent and variety of this horticultural and florioultural collection the gardens rank with tho best displays of Europe.' With the death of Henry Shaw they become the property ofi tho city of St. Louis a gift the value of which can not be estimated. Mr. Shaw's estate is valued at $2, 500, 000, and it is thought the greater part will be left to tho city of St, Louis ia various bequests-. Air. JShaw was by leaning: an Episcopalian and the charitable institutions of that church, it is understood, will be particularly favored in his will. The only relatives of the the deceased in this country are his sister, Mrs. Julia Morris, and a cousin, Frank Bradbury. A large number of distant relatives reside in Manchester, England His life is a record that has but few parallels, a career similar to those that have caused the names of such men as Stephen Girard and George Peabody to be placed among the ' 'immortals' of American history, where that of Henry Shaw will also henceforward be known.

A man named Yeaw, who was about

quarter of a mite off, noticed the water coming through the masonry of the dam, as he de&n'ibos it, in a stream atout as biff as a barrel. The hole was Jipparently growing ve-y rapidly. The only living object in sight was a cow a few hundred feet across the field, which Yeaw suo ceeded m rescuing. Meanwhile" down the valley were Mrs. Grwene Tew, aged sixty; a Mrs. Hawkins, aged ninety, and Mrs. Tew's son, seven years old. They were walking through a strip of wood and were overtaken by the flood and drowned. Their bodies were found ia the wood, through which the water quickly ran until it emptied into the Pawtuxet river. Pari Dodge, nine years old, was with the party that was overtaken and drowned. He escaped with bruises by clinging to a tree. The river rose rapidly and caused considerable uneasiness among people along its banks, who thought that the Ponegansett reservoir, the biggest in the State, had gone. Many of them left their homes and fled, but the flood subsided as rapidly as it had come. The path of tha water from the reservoir was through a thinly settled country, and th only damage done to property was the wrecking of a stable belonging to Russell Matthewson, the capsizing of Dr. E. Clarke's carriage shop, and the demolition of three road bridges. The dam was built in 1887 for the service of the Pawtuxet Valley company, redeeming a small swamping pound locacally known as Spruce Lake. The reservoir covered eighteen acres and contained about thirty three million gallons of water. The dam is 1)25 feet long, 17 feet U inches high, and 8 feet on top and 35 feet wide at the bottom. The gap left by the water is between sixty and seventy feet long. It is just above the waste pipe. Yeaw is tha only witness to any part of the casualty. The reservoir was practically emptied. The cause of the bursting of the dam Is believed to be a spring that existed under the middle of the dam, which under mined it Fly Faker.

That happy state of mind, bo rarely possessed, in which wo can say, "I have enough," is the very highest attainment of philosophy. Happiness consists, noi. in possessing much, but in being content with -what we possess. He who wants little always has enough. They have flannel bathing suits at the seaside reports that do not shrink. They are ashamed to, probably. The ups and downs of life are better than being down all the time.
