^PARIS, Oct. 26—Dispatches from Perigueux, capitol of the department of Dordogne,state that a frightful accident has occurred at the Chancelede Quarries, near that town. While a large body of workmen were engaged in taking out stone, the quarries suddenly fell in, destroying a village situated on the ground above the stone pits, and killing a large i: number of persons. Many are buried :i in the ruins and it is doubtful if any of them can be reserved in time to save their lives. Troops have been sent to the scene of the disaster to aid ,j work of relief.

PIERSON'S FAIR.

A Successful Exhibition in Every Way. .g Tlie exhibit at the Pierson township S fair last Thursday was finer than any one had thought to see. The day opened fair and bright and was much v'-w pleasanter than the weather of the pre«ceding days. The officials were early on the grounds and everything which could be done to add to the comfort and convenience of both exhibitors and visitors was promptly attended to.

Much of the success of the exhibition was due to the efficient labors of President Yaw and Gen. Supt. Moon. The following namod gentlemen acted as superintendent in the different departments: «Horses and mules—Hiram Tryon.

Cattle—Wm. F. Jordon. Hogs and sheep—Thomas Hunter. Grain, seeds, fruits and vegetables— John Budisel.

Ladies department—John F. Ferguson. Miscellaneous department—Rev. D. Ifovins.

Any attempt at giving the list of premiums awarded would be an injustioe since a full list can not be published. Newton Bledsoe, of Prairie Creek, exhibited some very fine pumpkins one of which weighed 165 pounds and another 140 pounds. Trustee Weeks of Linton, brought over some fine cattle. The exhibition of horses, mules, cattle, '•c farm and garden products by citizens of the township was excellent. There is better stock in the township than has been generally suppos^.

The flocial features of the fair have -. a more than repaid all expenditure of A labor and cash. Everybody went home well plerased and feeling enthusiastic on

the subject of an annual repitition of the exhibit. You will hear from us again in September, 1886.

ST. JOSEPH'S FAIR.

The Gas Company Wins the Gtld Headed Cane,

And a New Yorker Draws the Gold Watch—A Splendid Success.

St. Joseph's church has added another to its long list of successful fairs in the one that has just closed. It is seldom that so large a crowd has been seen in Dowling Hall as that present Saturday night. But its saccess was not only in the matter of finance alone, but in the social enjoyment that was everywhere visible. Interest mainly centered on the raffling of the gold watch and the phseton, and the voting on the gold headed cane to the most popular secretary of a light company. In view of the controversy that is just now raging between these two companies it was a stroke of good policy for the managers of the fair to hit upon this plan of bringing the rival interests together. Each company was represented in the hall by a number of friends and the contest was nade a right interesting one for the spectators. The polls closed at 11 o'clock. The last five minutes a secret ballot was allowed. Previous to this Mr. Edwin Ellis, the secretary for the Electric Light company, was nearly a hundred votes ahead of Mr. James B. Harris, the secretary for the gas company but in the secret balloting the friends of the gas company tipped the scale in Mr. Harris' favor, the total vote aggregating 1,300 and Mr. Harris leading Mr. Ellis about two hundred votes. The votes were ten cents apiece, so a handsome sum was netted in this manner.

In the voting of a candy pyramid to the most popular school girl the voting was likewise close. The contestants were the Misses Aggie McMinn, Bosa Long and Nannie Jessie, but Miss McMinn's friends rallied for her at the close and she carried off the prize. The vote stood: Miss McMinn, 125 Miss Long, 117^ Miss Jessie, 41.

The rafflings resulted as follows, Mr. Chas. Duffin ably acting as master of ceremonies both in the rafflings and the voting. It is said that Mr. Duffin's voice was plainly heard by the residents of the Third, Fourth and First wards and part of the Second:

good, expelling impuri- Third, Fourth and

THE DARK SIDE YET TO OOME. Henning was seen again this morning by a

GAZETTE

reporter. He said:

"I slept better last night than I have within tbe last week. The dark side of this killing has to come out yet I wont give it out until the proper time. I don't believe Musser when he says I would be as safe at Rockville as I would here. I knew George Yolner (the murdered woman's husband) well. It was his wife that caused the killing of that poor Dutchman. I know it. I don't intend to say much on this question until I can get a lawyer."

Jailor DeLane says the prisoner appears to be troubled with a poor memory. Henning said this morning that he couldn't remember what had happened twenty minutes before, but the disturbed condition of his

tmind

may be

the cause of that. TO BE LEFT HEBE. Sheriff Musser came down from Parke county this afternoon with an order from Judge Jump authorizing him, in view of the Sheriff's sworn statement that the prisoner would be in danger at R«ickville, to convey the prisoner to such other county in the state as he may deem proper, and that he be kept there until further order of the court.

Sheriff Musser formally gave the prisoner over to Sheriff Cleary for safe keeping.

The order says tbe prisoner must not be kept ont of the county later tban the first week of tbe next term of the Park Circuit court

FOQB FE&BFQLFEEDBBS

Are Chased Away From tke Nail Mill by Strikers.

Two Enter and Go to Work-Inter-views With Nailers.

Latest Phases of the Long Strike.

THE FIGHT THIS MORNING.

Not as Bad as at First Reported, but Quite Lively While it Lasted. This morning just before seven o'clock as the six men, who took machines at the nail works yesterday, were going to work, a mob of the strikers intending to attack them, gave chase and ran four of them home. Two of them escaped into the mill and went to work. Tbe four who ran home are now afraid to show themselves outside of their homes, rh© mob then went back to the works and Louis Breezet attacked Cravens, the watchman at the mill. Cravens ran and gaining a little ground turned and struck Breezet over the head with a heavy cane which he carried, cutting a gash in his forehead from which the blood flowed freely. Breezet then yelled to the strikers to shoot Cravens. The crowd started forward but Cravens drew a revolver and told them to stand bacK. He fired one shot into the ground The patrol wagon was telephoned for and when it arrived with several blue coats the crowd dispersed. No arrests were made. Breezet says that he WILL FIX CRAVENS BEFORE THE DAY IS

OVER.

Last night there was a big fight at Cassady's saloon n^ar the works in which a number of the nailers and puddlers were engaged.

The puddlers are taking the side of the men who went to work. It is said the strikers would have attacked the men who went to work last night, had they not been on the company's ground. Some MTT.TH FROM THE GBEENCASTLE MILL ABE

EXPECTED

here this evening and more trouble is feared. The nailers are confident that by tomorrow the strike will be ended, at least the feeders will not go to work with the machines. At nine o'clock all was quiet around the works. The large crowd whioh had gathered to witness the sceoe had all dispersed and there were but few of the nailers or feeders around.

The Nail Works Strike.

During the long strike at the Nail Works both the Nailers and Feeders have behaved themselves, until this morning, quietly and as law-abiding citizens. Tne arguments they have used to keep their ranks solid and to induce the fifteen feeders, who took machines some weeks ago to quit, were such as they had aright to use, whether it be admitted that the reasoning was good for the feeders or not. But the outbreak of this morning was not right and the nailers and feeders^ should hasten to denounce it in a meeting.

Did Not Shoot.

The rumor this morning that John Cravens had shot at Louis Breezet has prdven false. Just after the fight between Cravens and Breezet a revolver went off in somebody's pocket and immediately after every man in the crowd had his weapon in his hand. Cravens had a revolver but did not shoot.

Policeman Attacked.

About half past nine o'clock as special policeman Charles May was crossing down Thirteenth street, he was attacked by a feeder and a naiier and badly beaten. Immediately after a policeman was called but up to noon was unable to find out the parties who had made the assault.

Special Policemen.

The company has five special policemen appointed to watch the mill and guard the men who are working. John Miller, Samuel Sparklins, Louis Pevit, John Cravens and Charles May have been appointed by the company as this special police force.

The Strikers Not Idle.

The striking nailers and feeders have declared their intention of keeping men out if possible. They have succeeded in frightening Harry Shein and not only kept him from working, but have scared him so badly as to make him leave town. Early this morning he left for Paris where he has a job working as a section band. They also bought off two men, who signified their intention of going to work, by giving tbem ful new suits of clothes.

And in fact every one who suffers from nervous prostratiom, loss of appetite or sleeplessness should use Nichol's Bark and Iron.

Bowen, of

Westfield, went to Corry yesterday and attempted to kill his grandfalher, Bev. Mr. Frink, a Baptist minister, 75 years of age. Bowen was arrested and jailed here. Bowen, when but a lad, decapitated his stepfather with an ax while he lay asleep, in reprimand for punishment. The sight of the corpse, instead of impressing him with the consciousness of his frightful crime, excited him to a still higher pitch of fury, and he severed the head from the trunk and kicked the ghastly object away as a child would afoot ball. He was arrested, tried, convicted and sent to the Auburn prison for the remainder of his life. After nearly ten years of confinement he was pardoned and released. He has been out of prison a year, but since then is suspected of a capital cr me. His grandfather was so shocked that his life is in danger.

A BRIDGE BREAKS

And Tumbles Many People into the Water. ATLANTIC CIXY,

N. Y., Oct. 28—About

150 feet of the bridge of the Pleasantville, Atlantic City, turnpike company fell yesterday afternoon while about fifty people were on it. Many of them were thrown into the water but fortunately none were drowned. The cause of the accident was the eating of the piling by worms until it was honeycombed.
