CHINESE fanahcism.1 MORE OUTRAGES UPON CHRIS-IT1A- N MISSIONS. lEvea the Gt. of Christians Dese crated hy the Heathen-Sa- id t Be a net ef Secret Societies to Cover a Insurrection. Late steamships from China bring the news of more outrages upon for- eigners in that kingdom. -- At Nanking the Methodists girls' school has been attacked, pillaged and burned. The China Nan of of June 11 says that twenty rioters were captured at Wuku and the viceroy was glren permission to have the leaders put to death. Information of outbreaks at var- ious places continue to come In. At Tay-na- ng June 1 a mob pillaged the missionary buildings, overpowering the mandarin and soldiers. The Christian cemetery was dug up and the heads piled in a heap and the mandarin dragged to the spot by bis queque. The governor of Annam reports the behead- ing of twenty-fiv- e ringleaders in the trouble. At Pekln placards have been posted by the secret societies threatening to massacre the foreigners. It is said that the Chinese officials are hon- estly anxious to protect the foreigners but have confessed themselves unable to do so. The under officials aro suspected of dis- loyalty and some of the soldiers are inclined to support the rioters. The outbreak is said to be the work of secret societies, the prime object being to entangle the Chinese government in foreign complications in the hope that thereby a successful insurrection may bo started. Will Settle Paraeir SUtas. Mr. and. Mrs Parnell will leave England about the middle of August for this country. They will remain here until after the Baltimore convention of the.Irish Nat- ional league, which Mr. Parnell will attend. The convention, it Is believed, undoubt- edly determines Mr. Parnell's leadership, and what is done in regard to him wllL be followed by the Irish at home, no matter how be may be opposed politically orotber-wl- e. Fifteen Tears for Bardsl.y. Ex-Ci- ty Treasurer Bardsley, of Philadel- phia, was sentenced to fifteen years solitary confinement in the penitentiary and to pay a fine of $237,530, equalling the sum to which he pleaded guilty of embezzlement or misappropriating. IN THE EAST. The business failures for the first six months of the present year, reported by B. G. Dun & Co., number 6,074, against 5,585 during the same period in 1890. President Harrison has issued a proclamation providing for granting copyright in the United States to citi- zens or subjects of Belgium, France, Great Britain and Switzerland. Ex-Ci-tt Treasurer Bardsley, of Philadelphia, was sentenced to fifteen years solitary confinement in the peni- tentiary and to pay a fine of $337,530, equalling the sum to which he pleaded guilty of embezzlement and misappro- priating. At a meeting of prominent Irishmen in Philadelphia a resolution was unani- mously adopted to affiliate with the Irish Federation of America, which was or- ganized in New York a few weeks ago, and cut off connection with the Irish National league. Jcia Adams, of Beadfield, Me., has taken no food whatever and only one swallow of water for twenty days and is yet able to sit np and says she does not feel the need of food and has no feeling of faintness. During this time she has not slept more than two hours in the twenty-fou- r and says she does not feel the need of sleep. The president has approved the rules and regulations prepared by the civil service commission which from October 1 next will govern in the appointment of Indian agency physicians, superinten- dents, teachers and matrons of schools. The rules are in nearly all other import- ant features substantially the same as those governing the department service generally. Assistant Secretary Nettleton has decided that the two Japanese men im- ported by Mr. Wolf, of Chicago, must be returned to Japan. Mr. Wolf im- ported from Japan two vehicles known there as jinrikshaas and two Japanese men to propel them by hand, his inten- tion being to place them in the public parks of Chicago for the purpose of hauling children free .of charge. Copies of the full text of the second memorial presented by HerrCahensly to the papal secretary of state, Cardinal Bampolla, has been put Into circulation. The greatest importance is attached to the memorial. If, as it is hoped, the holy see can be induced to carry out its recommendations and appoint a large number of German clergymen as bishops in the United States, the German influ- ence across the Atlantic country will be vastly increased and will redound direct- ly to the growth of the home German government in American affairs. Hcrr Cahensly indeed appeals for aid to other foreign governments, Italy, Austria, Spain arid Canada, promising them in return a due share of the prestige which will come from a division of the episco- pal sees of America among1 the repre sentatives of the different classes of im- migrants. The war on "Irish bishops" in America will be prosecuted with vigor. It will be no fault of Herr Ca- hensly if he fails. Fob the first time in the history of this country we are to have a series of naval maneuvers involving the problems of actual warfare as presented in the attack of one of our great mari- time ports by a foreign naval force and its defense by the American navy. For years past Great Britain, France, Italy and other European naval powers have annually practiced similar maneuvers, sometimes, as in the case of Great Brit- ain, at heavy expense, bnt the results have been so important as to justify the expenditure. In the case of the United States there has been since the war no naval force adequate to carry out maneuvers of any value. The squadron of evolution was formed with such a purpose in view, but until recently it was not sufficiently numerous to under- take the solution of the larger naval war problems and its operations were lim- ited to great gun practice and fleet evo lutions. With the recent additions to the naval list, however, this obstacle has disappeared, and Secretary Tracy has prepared a scheme to carry out his views which will be given effect at once. Siqnb of improvement in baaiaew grow frequent and distinct, thoaga there Is nothing like a rawieal change as yet. The situation whlch'haa prevailed during the year gives way-hu- t slowly to aereased confidence, the more -- slowly Decease of a few failures ia woolens at Philadelphia and in leather aad shoes hi the east. Yet the soundnesaof the coauMrcial situation ia generally recog-- L'. 5 --X5-4 Vi J. .jfcS-- f ,!: . --. ck-J'.---.sJ:;-- . s2.' -- .v -- r, s- - if ir f e&.-- . nlzed, end the hesitation which remains is rightly attributed mainly to uncer- tainties regarding the demand for gold from Europe and the financial situation there. Hence dispatches announcing the settlement of difficulties which have been hanging over the London market, and which were supposed to affect one or more houses having large interests In this country, are regarded with satis- faction. While gold continues to leave England for Russia the banking institu- tions of western Europe are well sup- plied, and in this country treasury dis- bursements have been enormous. The one point of danger is still the exceed- ingly strained condition of credits abroad on account of past disastrous speculations. The recent movements of the Stand- ard Oil trust, whereby it has seized con- trol of the markets of Germany, Italy and other European countries, are sug- gestive of the international character of the monopoly. Compared with the Standard Oil combination all other pri- vate trusts in this country sink into IN THB WEST. In a recent report on "Flax Culture in Russia" by Consul Hcenan of Odessa there are some valuable suggestions to the farmers of America, and especially to those of the northwest. In Russia the flax industry is an important one, more than 3,000,000 acres being under cultivation, and yielding an annual gain of about 8112,000,000. The point made by Mr. Heenan in his report is the im- mense possibilities for the cultivation of flax in this country and the wonder that it has not long ago become an estab- lished industry. The raising of the plant for seed, which has been carried on to some extent in America, is the least lucrative branch of the industry, and where it has been undertakcnAec fiber has been left- - to rot, although its value per acre is almost four times that of the seed. There arc so many ways in; which this industry, carried to its full possibilities, would work to the benefit of the country as well as of those who were occupied in carrying it on, that it seems as if it must in the near futuro become a feature of American enter- prise. Dr. John P. Williams, who was one of the physicians of the Omaha medical institute, has commenced suit for 75,-0- 00 damages against the World Publish- ing company, publishers of tho World-Heral- d, Omaha. The suit is the out- growth of that paper's treatment of the recent investigation of the medical in- stitute. In his claim for damages Dr. Williams quotes the reports of tho paper on the investigation of Richard Melody and Belle Beaver's deaths. Ho alleges that all of the paper's reports were pub- lished "with the wicked and malicious design to cause the public to believe the plaintiff had been guilty of the crimes of malpractice and robbery." Judge Clifford, at Chicago, ren- dered a decision of interest to railways and thoso who travel by rail. A Mrs. Mitchell, in the course of her travels, lost her trunk and brought suit against the delinquent railroad for the value of it and contents, 350. It was shown that one of tho conditions on the back of tho ticket was that the road should not be held responsible for loss of bag- gage to the amount of more than $100. The court held that as Mrs. Mitchell signed the ticket she had accepted the condition, and rendered a verdict for S100. The jury in tho murder trial of Cul-bcrts- on, charged with being ono of tho murderers of Few Tails, returned a ver- dict of not guilty. The prosecution was vigorously conducted, but with the memory of tho release of Plenty Horses, the murderer of Lieut. Casey, fresh in their minds it was not expected a jury would bo obtained who would convict the slayers of Few Tails. Mrs. Few Tails and other Indians gavo direct testimony which if believed by the jury would have convicted the defendants. Spring wheat prospects in central Minnesota, owing to the rains, are from fair to good and ahead of an average in every way except as to lateness. In-- southern Minnesota the harvest will be earlier than usual, many fields having already headed out. In North Dakota there has been plenty of rain, the water still standing on the low lands. The weeds have been developing fast. Wis- consin reports the last ten days more favorable for growing crops, which are thin and backward. The commissioner of Indian affairs has received advice from Agent Bennett in Indian territory, stating that after a thorough investigation with the assist- ance of 100 Chickasaw scouts, covering a territory of fifty miles, he found only nine intruders in the Chickasaw nation, six of whom were given ten days' notico to gather their cattle and leave. An Englishman wants to sell a por- trait of Columbus to the World's Colum- bian exposition for 910,000. Tho por- trait, it is claimed, was painted by Chevalier Antonio Moro about 1570 from a miniature of Columbus painted from life especially for Queen Isabella, and which is still in possession of the royal family of Spain. Secretary Rusk says that the results of the pork inspection at Chicago have been very satisfactory. The proportion of animals found affected with trichinae is less than was expected and he be- lieves less exists than in the hogs of any other country. THE SOUTHERN SUMMARY. During the visit to Jackson, Miss., of Polk, Livingston, McDowell and Willets, the big alliance lights, some interesting developments came to the surface relative to national alliance matters. U. S. Hall, president of the Missouri alliance, from the inception of the subtreasury meas- ure has been one of its strongest oppon- ents. When" he was elected a member of the legislative 'cOnraiittee it was re- garded as a victojji fir tire .an'rPnefb proclaimed. Hall, after his electKwtf'commcnced to work against the .scheme, and with his coadjutors had succeeded in organizing a movement covering the entire southern states, as is shown by a call for a meet- ing of the Anti-Subtreasu- ry League- - at Dallas, Tex., July 10 next. Within the last month remonstrances have been sent to Hall by members of the legisla- tive council, and members have also urged upon President Polk the necessity of taking action against Hall. Polk has submitted to him two alternatives,eitber to cease his opposition to the subtreas- ury bill or tender his resignation. In event 'of his ce he was given plainly to understand that he would be suspended. Those who know Hall assert positively that he will resign and fight the subtreasury scheme harder than ever. The Tradesman'! report of the new industries established in the southern states during the second quarter of 1891 shows a total of 892, against 1,350 for the same period of the year previous. The paper says that while the number of new Industries established for the second quarter of this year is not np to that of the corresponding period of 1890, still the industrial interests of this sec- tion are la a very healthful condition and the noticeable feature for the past three months has been, the amount of capital iavested In enterprises.

Commonwealth Va- rious Event. ar Mere Tfcaa Usual Im-perta- ae. Lieut. George U. Harris, one of the three commissioners recently appointed to investigate the condition of the Sioux Indians, writes from Pine Ridge as to the vain efforts to get Indians to enlist as soldiers. The government has been endeavoring to civilize the red man by thus inducing him to take np a semi-warli- ke occupation, but Mr. Harris writes that the Indians think a soldier has to many hardships. They arc spe- cially averse to becoming "walk sol- diers." A few have enlisted as cavalry- men, but up to date only one Sioux buck has enlisted as an infantryman. A com- pany was created for him and he is tho sole member of Company I. He is tho only Ogaialla infantryman in the world and unless some remarkable mental up- heaval takes place there will "never be another one. Frost Has a Story. Frost, the young Dakotan, whom La Cointe shot a few weeks ago in Wash- ington, claims to have been played for a sucker. His version is that ho spent the evening in question with Miss Eaton, and left at 11:40, promising at her request to return twenty minutes later. He returned at 12:30, when Miss Eaton dared him to put on her Mother Hubbard. He went into a back room and did so, when La Cointe appeared upon the scene and did the shooting. Frost says ho hopes to sec La Cointe hanged. , Valuable Discovery of Lignite. Lignite has been discovered four miles south of Hermosa, S. D. Tho vein when discovered on the hillsido was only two inches in depth, but now ajunncl has been run into tho hill, following tho vein to a depth of fifteen feet, and the vein at that depth is twenty inches thick. Tho quality is also greatly im- proving as depth is attained. Experi enced coal miners say that it is one of the best prospects for an extensive mine that they have ever scon. Sustained the Grand Jury Law. Judge Haney, at Aberdeen, S. D., has decided that indictments found and returnd in tho regular way by grand juries under provisions of the now law arc good and defendants must prepare for trial. Appeals from his decision will bo taken at once. The points involved will doubtless arise in every circuit in the state, and the decision will be a most important one. The Klver Cutting. The Missouri river has carried away twenty acres of timber land near "Elk Point, S. D., and it is still going. THE NEWS IN NEBRASKA. Events Great aad Small of Interest All Around the State. In spite of years of adversity and great discouragements tho farmers of Nebraska have held their heads above water and in many instances quietly pocketed savings year by year. Local newspapers of tho agricultural counties abound in stories of successful farming which many careful farmers are truth- fully able to tell. Tho following extract from a letter written by a Kearney county farmer will be an encourage- ment for the newcomers and illustrates the possibilities of strict attention to business in Nebraska: "I want to write you something about my experience since I came from Swe- den to America. I arrived in the state of Indiana in 1860. My money was ex- hausted and I had not a dollar left. I hired out to work on a farm at 20 per month. I worked five years at that price, then rented a farm one year. At the end of that time I had saved SGOO. In 1877 I came to Kearney county, Neb., built a sod house, bought a team and wagon, a few household goods, having only a few dishes and as many farming implements as my pile would admit of, reserving a portion to live on till I could raise a crop. I took a homestead and timber claim. By the time I had made final proof on those claims I had accu- mulated quite a stock of horses, cattle and hogs. I therefore bought another quarter section of land and have it ail paid for but one payment, and have the stuff ready to make that payment when it becomes due. I have attended strictly to farming with no outside speculation, and what I have made here cannot be bought for 15,000. There are scores of my countrymen within my acquaintance who havo done equally as well as I. Some came too late to get homesteads, but have done quite as well, considering the chance they had of getting land. In fact, all have made money here (except where they had some extremely bad luck) that would make money any- where. If we had staid in the old coun- try it would have been all we could do to earn enough to eat, and wear very poor clothes and keep out of debt." Nebraska at Eastern State Fairs. The plan of advertising the agricul- tural resources of the western country adopted by some Nebraska counties in collecting and arranging a display of grains, grasses, vegetables, etc., and placing these in charge of a committee of their citizens, to be taken east and exhibited at several of the leading state fairs, has proved, in every instance, a winning card for the county. As a re- sult of this experiment other counties will arrange this year for similar exhi- bitions. Independent State Convention. The committee appointed to select a point for holding the next independent people's state convention of that party in Nebraska decided on Hastings. The time for holding the convention is fixed for August 18. Reducing the Whisky Supply. The whisky trust has notified the col- - ,trii nt fninrnal rovftnup that. t.fiA rmt put of the Shnfeldt and CalumetJUi(fl leries has been reduced. At-roo- ria I similar reduction has taken place and the same is true of other distilleries in the trust. The trust officers claim the decrease in the output from Shufeldt's distillery is because of the usual summer stagnation, but as the trust distilleries are universally restricting their output those who are in a position to know say the trust don't intend to waste its money when this Is unnecessary. The presence in Italv of SIg. Corte, Italian consul at New Orleans, who was given leave of absence by his govern- ment that he might return to Italy and lay the facts of the lynching affair be- fore the authorities, has attracted al- most no notice. One seldom hears now any allusion to the New Orleans lynch- ing. Few American tourists are now in Rome. The shopkeepers complain of their losses by reason of the diverting of American travel to other countries. Frederick Schumacher, Henry Knu-som-an and Albert Schling have been arrested for attempting to wreck a pas-- fsenger train on the Great Northern road the evening of June 19, near Ada, Minn. They are boys only 16 and 17 years old. FOREIGN JOTTINGS. It is useless for the English liberal leaders to attempt to conceal tho fact that Gladstone's condition gives rise to genoral anxiety. As to the fact of his ailment, too much mystery is kept up, which only adds to the anxiety, and that anxiety is deepened by the remembrance of the issue of reassuring bulletins dur- ing his attack 'of influenza at a time when it is now confessed ho was seri- ously ill. His age in itself is sufficient reason for feeling uneasy when he is ordered prolonged rest. He will not again be allowed to address meetings for some time to como. His political activities, unless a general election should be sprung ou the country, will bo confined to a consultation as to tho pri- vate leadership of his party. Perhaps at no time during the last five years could he be better spared than now, for there is a lull in the political contro- versy. Thero Is nothing pressing which demands the attention of the leaders on ono side or tho other, but Gladstone occupies a unique position. His growing years makes his followers despondent whenever it is stated he is ill. Following the'oxperiraents of Fctch-nc-r in applying ciectricity to vegetation, a Russian agriculturist, M. Spcchncif, is reported to havo mado a trial of seeds which he had electrified for two minutes by means of a current, repeating tho operation ten times upon peas, beans, rye, etc. He found that generally tho clectricization of seeds nearly doubled the rapidity of their growth. He then tried to cicctricize the earth, lie toali large plates of zinc and copper, 72 centi- meters (28 inches) high and 1" (IS inches) wide, which were sunk deep into tho ground at the extremity of flat Jron bars and connected above the ground by an iron wire. The cfiVct of this continuous current is stated to havo been prodigious upon vegetables. A rad- ish grew 44 centimeters (17.3 inches) in length, with a diameter of 14 centi- meters (5Jf Inches), and a carrot 27 centimeters (10.6 inches) in diameter weighed 3 kilogrammes (0.0 pounds), nor did this excess in size detract from their good quality. Santo Domingo reciprocity is likely to come closely on tho heels of the Spanish Cub.m proclamation. It is un- derstood that tho details have gone for- ward to the point where tho formalities of ratification may soon be exchanged between the two countries. Mr. Galvan, the special commissioner from San Do-miug- o, had several interviews with Sec- retary Blaine before tho latter was taken sick, and the foundation was then laid for reciprocal trade. Santo Domingo has a population not far from 425,000. Its chief exports arc coffee, tobacco and sugar. To keep its sugar market in the United States and possibly enlarge it a reciprocity arrangement was necessary. In return it will make customs conces- sions on grain, breadstuff, canned goods, machinery and cotton manufac- tures, all of which arc among its main imports. The decision of the czar as arbitrator of tho dispute between France and Holland in Guiana is a great shock to tho French. It was thought in Paris that a great diplomatic advantage had been gained when the czar was accepted as umpire by Holland, and his verdict, which deprives them of rich and coveted territory, has disappointed them bitterly and has filled their minds with doubts as to the sincerity of that Russian friend- ship of which they felt so secure. Thoy wcro encouraged a littlo by his tardy consent to pay an informal visit to tho French exhibition in Moscow, bub arc beginning now to fear that in doing this his object was not so ranch to please Frrncc as to excite tho apprehension of Germany and gain a point in the econ- omic negotiations going on between St. Petersburg and Berlin. A dispatch from Naples gives meager details of a terrible accident which oc- curred on Mount Vesuvius by which a Brazilian traveler lost his life and an- other was rescued with difficulty. Ac- companied by a guide they made the ascent and were noticed standing near the crater, gazing into its mysteries. Suddenly the whole party was enveloped by a dense cloud of sulphurous smoko which so stupefied the travelers that one of them reeled for about a minute then staggercdand fell into the crater. Tho guide who accompanied the men had in the meantime caught hold of the second traveler and dragged him to a position where the crater fumes could not reach him, thus saving his life. Reports which continue to come to tltis country from the wheat sections of Asia indicate that the stories of short crops are understated rather than over- drawn. While tho recent article from the pen of Erastus Wiman, in which he predicts a heavy advance in the price of cereals, was at first believed to be over- drawn, it is now thought that the Euro- pean demands will stimulate prices of American grains to such an extent as to make his predictions come approxi- mately near the truth. Union of Catholic Workmen. Cardinal Manning is forming a union of Catholic workmen on the lines laid down in the recent encyclical of the pope. The society embraces the entire English-speakin- g world. Cardinal Gib- bons is working in conjunction with Car- dinal Manning in organizing the Ameri- can branch of the union. The organiza- tion is open to both skilled and unskilled labor. A small entrance fee will be charged. The aims of the organization are to oppose socialism, to wean mem- bers from socialistic bodies, to maintain a good standard of wages, and to find employment for members. Membership in the union does not involve resignation from other trades unions unless their tenets are opposed to the letter or spirit of the pope's encyclical. Cardinal Man- ning is very hopeful of good results to flow from this movement. He confers daily with representatives of Catholic workmen with a view of obtaining their views on practical questions of organiza- tion. Eight hours will make a full day's work at the world's fair. When the carpenter's union found-tha- t men were being worked ten hours a day, instead of eight, by the contractors, they sent a delegation to protest to the board of di- rectors. That body decided that the eight hour rule must be strictly followed by the contractors. THE MARKETS. CHICAGO.

Matters at tho Franklin (Wash.) coal mines have assumed a still more threat- ening form, and Colonel J. C Haines wired to Seattle for another company of militia to report at once and to bring ammunition, camp equipage, ana rations for a' week's service. Porter Robinson, one of the mine bosses, was brought to the City by a military guard, charged with killing Tom Morris and Ed J. Williams, leaders of the riot. The first authentic Information con- cerning the riot was received from Franklin. At least 1,000 shots were fired during the riot, which lasted about thirty minutes and resulted in the death of Tom Morris, a white striker, who was killed Instantly; Edward J. Will- iams, who was shot through the abdo- men and died six hours later, and tho wounding of four strikers, two women and one colored guard. The trouble commenced with tho return of the train at 7:40 p. m. from New Castle, which contained a number of Pinkerton men who had escorted a load of negroesto tho latter mining camp. The guards say that when the train was pulling Into Franklin ltwas fired upon by some of the white miners in ambush, and that whllo no ono was hurt ballets whistled through the windows of the train at a lively rate. Tho guards returned the fire from the window?, and the engineer seeing the danger put the train under fnll head and ran it to the depot, which is inside the dead line. When the train had stopped the white miners commenced firing upon the ne- groes' camp. They were between two .cs, as the outside niiners were situated on the flats below and on the hill above them. The negroes went perfectly wild, and all the efforts of the guards could not restrain them. They kept within the camp lines, and poured volley aftor volley upon the miners on the flats, whe replied with equal iy as much vigor. The miners on the hill kept up a good fire, but were answered shot for shot by the negroes. After the shooting intense excitement prevailed among the negroes, and they gathered about their camp in groups, threatening to mako another charge upon tho whito miners. They were finally quieted by the officers of the company. Thrco companies of militia ro now camped between the strikers id the negroes. DUTCH CO-.O.H- K8 AT TBTJE FAIB. They Pr-m'- se to Make a Most Iaterest-B- K Exhibit of Their -- lateral Wealth. Lieutenant Roger Welles, Jr., of the United (States navy, Commissioner to Venezuela and the neighboring colonies, reports that the Governor General of the Dutch Colonies in the West Indies, com posed of the islands of Curacoa, St. Mar- tins, Bonaire, Aruba, St. Eustache and Saba, has accepted the invitation to participate In the exposition, and has appointed a commission to take charge of the work. Phillip Walker, formerly chief of a division In 'the Department of Agricult ure devoted to experiments with Ameri- can silk, has been placed In charge of f preparation of the extensive exhibit that industry which the department pro- poses to make at the World's Fair. The work will bJ under the supervision of Assistant Secretary Willetts, and will be done In the museum of the Department of Agriculture. At a meeting of representative shoo and leather men held in Boston it was decided that New England could raise $15,000 toward the construction of the shoe and leather building at the World's Fair, for which subscriptions aro being received frost all over the country, and the committee made plans for securing the necessary subscriptions.

The eastern slope of Mount Tamal-pia- s, California, on which arc many magnificent summer homes, wat report- ed to be on fire. The San Rafael fire department was called out and a large number of volunteers started out to fight the flames. The lire started on Barber's ranch, and burned about sixty acres of bay. The flames spread rapidly to J. J. Kittle"? grounds, which were soon a mass ol flames. Williams Gulch, two mi'es from Boss Station, was on fire, and the flame: ran np the side of the mountain. The fire covered an area of about 1,000 acres. The crackling of the flames could be heard a mile distant, and the air was filed with cinders and ashes. Another brush fire started east of town near the Hotel Rafael, and fifty acres of eucalyptus burned- - The whole town turned out to fight this fire.

MURDER BY A NOTORIOUS DBS MOINES MAN. a Caussl ssm am same Vwav smV tets " mWlal-ar-ml- B le -- fae Frank Pierce fatally weaadedK. H. vfMhart, at Dee Moines, and narrowly iscaped lynching. Intense exdteseeat prevailed when he was arrests- -. aa4 ;rles of BrIag a ropel and -- Lynch Mmi were heard on every hand. Forty were necessary to escort aim' Elkemea The feeling Is so strong against Pierce that trouble may come at sny moment. WUhart was ait by foar bullets, and a crowd of 500 people gath-sre- d at the City Hall when Pierce was placed In jalL For three years Pierce was the leader of the Des Moines searck-jr- s. He has shot several persons in that city, and on three occasions ntobs have been organized to lynch him. The ci af Harry Lloyd aad Terry Chai attracted great attention at the tli Another of his vlctlsss Is In the Insane asylum from injuries received at Pierce's hands. Heretofore Pierce has received Ihe support and sympathy of the tem- perance people, but this crime Is the .ast straw which any kind of public .pinion can stand. Fierce, who is a scavenger, drove one Df his wagons toward the customary Jumping grounds on, lower West Ninth street The officers had notified hist chat he had no right to use the ground used by another or that which was owned by the city. Driving down Ninth itreet, he came about opposite the new srematory. Mr. Wlshart, who Is the egal guardian of the property In behalf .f the city as foreman of the crematory, -- ordered him not to dump there.' On Wishart'a coat was the star of his au- thority as an officer. The two men fell nto a sharp dispute. Pierce ordered his aaen to dig again. They hesitated. Mr. Wlshart, a revolver banging at his lide, said; "I am an officer of the law. I have orders to allow no man to dump in the street. They are going to pave . and will aot allow dumping." Pierce said he had a right to dump sossewhere, and that he would tear down the fence which blocked the street. It being still unopened. Wlshart said: "I have no authority over tho fence. You can tear that down at your own risk, but the street I am here to defend." Pierce seized a shovel and made an attempt to dig, when, his rage overcoming him, he whipped from the holsters at his belt two revolvers and jumped toward Wlshart "Consider yourself under arrest" he screamed. "I'll shoot you or any other man that tries to stop me," and fired. Wlshart ra'sed his revolver to fire back. -- In doing so his revolver came In contact with Pierce's and was broken. Whether . a bullet loft tt is a matter of doubt Wlshart, seeing his revolver was useless, let it drop to the ground. The first bullet of Pierce struck Wishart in tho arm. But Pierce, socing his victim un- armed, did not desist his murderous work. Ho tired three more shots, one, according to the statement of an eye- - witness, after Wishart had dropped to the ground-T- o the crowd which gathered and was gathering in ho said: "Stand back, or thero will be some more dead men." With revolver in hand bis wagon was driven down toward tho river where he had concluded to go and dump. Tho patrol was sent for and Wishart was taken to the City IlalL Doctors were called in and mado an examination. Be- sides the wound in the arm a hole was found in his abdomen. One of the other shots had entered a little to the right of tho middle and lodged somewhere in his back. While in tho City Hall Wlshart lay in great agony on a pallet uati!Mrs. Wishart arrived. Tho grief of the poor woman was terrible to see. At last for the sake of her husband she was. in- duced to control herself. The little son of tho dying man also was there. He had happened to bo at the City Hall as his father was brought in He pushed up to him to speak. Mr. Wlshart said nothing, but raised up his lips to kiss him. He was a manly little fellow of about twelve yeais and struggled hard to keep back tho tears. Ho kept con- tinually asking: "Tell me how he is, please. Will he die?" While Wlshart was lying la tho City Hall basement the officers arrived with Pierce. The crowd had collected In great numbers at the first intimation that tho notorious Pierce had killed a man. . They weie jammed about the City Hall so thickly that the.: officers had difficulty " In opening a way through the mob. As bo sllpped.out of his buggy tho Marshal demanded his re- volvers. He gave them up. A voice in the crowd cried out: "Where Is the rope?" A look of dismay flashed over . Pierce's features. He gave one lookat the angry crowd, another at his weapons, . now out of his hands, and then bounded up the steps. He was carried down-th- o stairs. On the way ho was cursing and swearing continually. He said: "You can't put me in jail. .You've no right to. 1 demand bonds." But, bonds or .no,.' bonds, he was hustled down: When 'he came to the door of the cells he was searched. Tho holsters were still on him. Then turning to the officers who were searching him he said: "What axe-yo- u trembling for? Why, you shake . like a leaf. Does It take six or 'eight . men to arrest one man? lean arrest a man alono and he will come." After a few hurried words, in whlch'he said ho had acted in self-defens- e. Pierce was taken to the cage and put in. When brought down the lower hall he passed ' by the head of his groaning victim, but he did not deign to give him a glance, and seemed actually proud of his deed, He was cool and collected, having recov- - , ered from his fright, and continually, taunted the officers. His lean, cadaver- ous features and furtive eyes did not quail as he looked at any one, 'and his whole appearance was one of dare-dev- il defiance. ' . The Meat Congreaa. The next House of Representatives under the census of 1890 will consist of 35G members. A ratio of representation is 173,901 inhabitants. But the law'ls that those States having a fraction of half the ratio or more shall get a repre- -. tentative thereon. There were seven- teen such fractions,, and they were ap portioned to the following States: Fraction. M.C. Fraetm.LC..

CHINESE fanahcism.1MORE OUTRAGES UPON CHRIS-IT1A-N

MISSIONS.

lEvea the Gt. of Christians Desecrated hy the Heathen-Sa- id t Be anet ef Secret Societies to Cover aInsurrection.Late steamships from China bring the

news of more outrages upon for-

eigners in that kingdom. -- At Nanking theMethodists girls' school has been attacked,pillaged and burned. The China Nan ofof June 11 says that twenty rioters werecaptured at Wuku and the viceroy wasglren permission to have the leaders put todeath. Information of outbreaks at var-ious places continue to come In. At Tay-na- ng

June 1 a mob pillaged the missionarybuildings, overpowering the mandarin andsoldiers. The Christian cemetery was dugup and the heads piled in a heap and themandarin dragged to the spot by bis queque.The governor of Annam reports the behead-ing of twenty-fiv- e ringleaders in thetrouble. At Pekln placards havebeen posted by the secret societiesthreatening to massacre the foreigners.It is said that the Chinese officials are hon-

estly anxious to protect the foreigners buthave confessed themselves unable to do so.The under officials aro suspected of dis-

loyalty and some of the soldiers are inclinedto support the rioters. The outbreak issaid to be the work of secret societies, theprime object being to entangle the Chinesegovernment in foreign complications in thehope that thereby a successful insurrectionmay bo started.

Will Settle Paraeir SUtas.Mr. and. Mrs Parnell will leave England

about the middle of August for thiscountry. They will remain here until afterthe Baltimore convention of the.Irish Nat-ional league, which Mr. Parnell will attend.The convention, it Is believed, undoubt-edly determines Mr. Parnell's leadership,and what is done in regard to him wllL befollowed by the Irish at home, no matterhow be may be opposed politically orotber-wl- e.

Fifteen Tears for Bardsl.y.Ex-Ci- ty Treasurer Bardsley, of Philadel-

phia, was sentenced to fifteen years solitaryconfinement in the penitentiary and to paya fine of $237,530, equalling the sum towhich he pleaded guilty of embezzlement ormisappropriating.

IN THE EAST.

The business failures for the firstsix months of the present year, reportedby B. G. Dun & Co., number 6,074,against 5,585 during the same period in1890.

President Harrison has issued aproclamation providing for grantingcopyright in the United States to citi-zens or subjects of Belgium, France,Great Britain and Switzerland.

Ex-Ci-tt Treasurer Bardsley, ofPhiladelphia, was sentenced to fifteenyears solitary confinement in the peni-tentiary and to pay a fine of $337,530,equalling the sum to which he pleadedguilty of embezzlement and misappro-priating.

At a meeting of prominent Irishmenin Philadelphia a resolution was unani-mously adopted to affiliate with the IrishFederation of America, which was or-ganized in New York a few weeks ago,and cut off connection with the IrishNational league.

Jcia Adams, of Beadfield, Me., hastaken no food whatever and only oneswallow of water for twenty days and isyet able to sit np and says she does notfeel the need of food and has no feelingof faintness. During this time she hasnot slept more than two hours in thetwenty-fou- r and says she does not feelthe need of sleep.

The president has approved the rulesand regulations prepared by the civilservice commission which from October1 next will govern in the appointment ofIndian agency physicians, superinten-dents, teachers and matrons of schools.The rules are in nearly all other import-ant features substantially the same asthose governing the department servicegenerally.

Assistant Secretary Nettleton hasdecided that the two Japanese men im-

ported by Mr. Wolf, of Chicago, mustbe returned to Japan. Mr. Wolf im-

ported from Japan two vehicles knownthere as jinrikshaas and two Japanesemen to propel them by hand, his inten-tion being to place them in the publicparks of Chicago for the purpose ofhauling children free .of charge.

Copies of the full text of the secondmemorial presented by HerrCahenslyto the papal secretary of state, CardinalBampolla, has been put Into circulation.The greatest importance is attached tothe memorial. If, as it is hoped, theholy see can be induced to carry out itsrecommendations and appoint a largenumber of German clergymen as bishopsin the United States, the German influ-ence across the Atlantic country will bevastly increased and will redound direct-ly to the growth of the home Germangovernment in American affairs. HcrrCahensly indeed appeals for aid to otherforeign governments, Italy, Austria,Spain arid Canada, promising them inreturn a due share of the prestige whichwill come from a division of the episco-pal sees of America among1 the representatives of the different classes of im-migrants. The war on "Irish bishops"in America will be prosecuted withvigor. It will be no fault of Herr Ca-hensly if he fails.

Fob the first time in the historyof this country we are to have aseries of naval maneuvers involving theproblems of actual warfare as presentedin the attack of one of our great mari-time ports by a foreign naval force andits defense by the American navy. Foryears past Great Britain, France, Italyand other European naval powers haveannually practiced similar maneuvers,sometimes, as in the case of Great Brit-ain, at heavy expense, bnt the resultshave been so important as to justify theexpenditure. In the case of the UnitedStates there has been since the war nonaval force adequate to carry outmaneuvers of any value. The squadronof evolution was formed with such apurpose in view, but until recently itwas not sufficiently numerous to under-take the solution of the larger naval warproblems and its operations were lim-

ited to great gun practice and fleet evolutions. With the recent additions tothe naval list, however, this obstacle hasdisappeared, and Secretary Tracy hasprepared a scheme to carry out hisviews which will be given effect at once.

nlzed, end the hesitation which remainsis rightly attributed mainly to uncer-tainties regarding the demand for goldfrom Europe and the financial situationthere. Hence dispatches announcingthe settlement of difficulties which havebeen hanging over the London market,and which were supposed to affect oneor more houses having large interests Inthis country, are regarded with satis-faction. While gold continues to leaveEngland for Russia the banking institu-tions of western Europe are well sup-plied, and in this country treasury dis-

bursements have been enormous. Theone point of danger is still the exceed-ingly strained condition of creditsabroad on account of past disastrousspeculations.

The recent movements of the Stand-ard Oil trust, whereby it has seized con-

In a recent report on "Flax Culturein Russia" by Consul Hcenan of Odessathere are some valuable suggestions tothe farmers of America, and especiallyto those of the northwest. In Russiathe flax industry is an important one,more than 3,000,000 acres being undercultivation, and yielding an annual gainof about 8112,000,000. The point madeby Mr. Heenan in his report is the im-

mense possibilities for the cultivation offlax in this country and the wonder thatit has not long ago become an estab-lished industry. The raising of theplant for seed, which has been carriedon to some extent in America, is theleast lucrative branch of the industry,and where it has been undertakcnAecfiber has been left-- to rot, although itsvalue per acre is almost four times thatof the seed. There arc so many ways in;which this industry, carried to its fullpossibilities, would work to the benefitof the country as well as of those whowere occupied in carrying it on, that itseems as if it must in the near futurobecome a feature of American enter-prise.

Dr. John P. Williams, who was oneof the physicians of the Omaha medicalinstitute, has commenced suit for 75,-0- 00

damages against the World Publish-ing company, publishers of tho World-Heral- d,

Omaha. The suit is the out-growth of that paper's treatment of therecent investigation of the medical in-

stitute. In his claim for damages Dr.Williams quotes the reports of tho paperon the investigation of Richard Melodyand Belle Beaver's deaths. Ho allegesthat all of the paper's reports were pub-lished "with the wicked and maliciousdesign to cause the public to believe theplaintiff had been guilty of the crimes ofmalpractice and robbery."

Judge Clifford, at Chicago, ren-dered a decision of interest to railwaysand thoso who travel by rail. A Mrs.Mitchell, in the course of her travels,lost her trunk and brought suit againstthe delinquent railroad for the value ofit and contents, 350. It was shownthat one of tho conditions on the backof tho ticket was that the road shouldnot be held responsible for loss of bag-gage to the amount of more than $100.The court held that as Mrs. Mitchellsigned the ticket she had accepted thecondition, and rendered a verdict forS100.

The jury in tho murder trial of Cul-bcrts- on,

charged with being ono of thomurderers of Few Tails, returned a ver-

dict of not guilty. The prosecutionwas vigorously conducted, but with thememory of tho release of Plenty Horses,the murderer of Lieut. Casey, fresh intheir minds it was not expected a jurywould bo obtained who would convictthe slayers of Few Tails. Mrs. FewTails and other Indians gavo directtestimony which if believed by the jurywould have convicted the defendants.

THE SOUTHERN SUMMARY.

During the visit to Jackson, Miss., ofPolk, Livingston, McDowell and Willets,the big alliance lights, some interestingdevelopments came to the surface relativeto national alliance matters. U. S. Hall,president of the Missouri alliance, fromthe inception of the subtreasury meas-ure has been one of its strongest oppon-ents. When" he was elected a memberof the legislative 'cOnraiittee it was re-garded as a victojji fir tire

.an'rPnefb proclaimed.Hall, after his electKwtf'commcnced towork against the .scheme, and with hiscoadjutors had succeeded in organizinga movement covering the entire southernstates, as is shown by a call for a meet-ing of the Anti-Subtreasu- ry League- - atDallas, Tex., July 10 next. Within thelast month remonstrances have beensent to Hall by members of the legisla-tive council, and members have alsourged upon President Polk the necessityof taking action against Hall. Polk hassubmitted to him two alternatives,eitberto cease his opposition to the subtreas-ury bill or tender his resignation. Inevent 'of his ce he wasgiven plainly to understand that hewould be suspended. Those who knowHall assert positively that he will resignand fight the subtreasury scheme harderthan ever.

The Tradesman'! report of the newindustries established in the southernstates during the second quarter of 1891shows a total of 892, against 1,350 forthe same period of the year previous.The paper says that while the numberof new Industries established for thesecond quarter of this year is not np tothat of the corresponding period of 1890,still the industrial interests of this sec-tion are la a very healthful conditionand the noticeable feature for the pastthree months has been, the amount ofcapital iavested In enterprises.

Events Great aad Small of Interest AllAround the State.

In spite of years of adversity andgreat discouragements tho farmers ofNebraska have held their heads abovewater and in many instances quietlypocketed savings year by year. Localnewspapers of tho agricultural countiesabound in stories of successful farmingwhich many careful farmers are truth-fully able to tell. Tho following extractfrom a letter written by a Kearneycounty farmer will be an encourage-ment for the newcomers and illustratesthe possibilities of strict attention tobusiness in Nebraska:

"I want to write you something aboutmy experience since I came from Swe-

den to America. I arrived in the stateof Indiana in 1860. My money was ex-

hausted and I had not a dollar left. Ihired out to work on a farm at 20 permonth. I worked five years at thatprice, then rented a farm one year. Atthe end of that time I had saved SGOO.

In 1877 I came to Kearney county, Neb.,built a sod house, bought a team andwagon, a few household goods, havingonly a few dishes and as many farmingimplements as my pile would admit of,reserving a portion to live on till I couldraise a crop. I took a homestead andtimber claim. By the time I had madefinal proof on those claims I had accu-mulated quite a stock of horses, cattleand hogs. I therefore bought anotherquarter section of land and have it ailpaid for but one payment, and have thestuff ready to make that payment whenit becomes due. I have attended strictlyto farming with no outside speculation,and what I have made here cannot bebought for 15,000. There are scores ofmy countrymen within my acquaintancewho havo done equally as well as I.Some came too late to get homesteads,but have done quite as well, consideringthe chance they had of getting land. Infact, all have made money here (exceptwhere they had some extremely badluck) that would make money any-where. If we had staid in the old coun-try it would have been all we could doto earn enough to eat, and wear verypoor clothes and keep out of debt."

Nebraska at Eastern State Fairs.The plan of advertising the agricul-

tural resources of the western countryadopted by some Nebraska counties incollecting and arranging a display ofgrains, grasses, vegetables, etc., andplacing these in charge of a committeeof their citizens, to be taken east andexhibited at several of the leading statefairs, has proved, in every instance, awinning card for the county. As a re-

sult of this experiment other countieswill arrange this year for similar exhi-bitions.

Independent State Convention.The committee appointed to select a

point for holding the next independentpeople's state convention of that partyin Nebraska decided on Hastings. Thetime for holding the convention is fixedfor August 18.

Reducing the Whisky Supply.The whisky trust has notified the col--,trii nt fninrnal rovftnup that. t.fiA rmt

put of the Shnfeldt and CalumetJUi(flleries has been reduced. At-roo- ria I

similar reduction has taken place andthe same is true of other distilleries inthe trust. The trust officers claim thedecrease in the output from Shufeldt'sdistillery is because of the usual summerstagnation, but as the trust distilleriesare universally restricting their outputthose who are in a position to know saythe trust don't intend to waste its moneywhen this Is unnecessary.

The presence in Italv of SIg. Corte,Italian consul at New Orleans, who wasgiven leave of absence by his govern-ment that he might return to Italy andlay the facts of the lynching affair be-

fore the authorities, has attracted al-

most no notice. One seldom hears nowany allusion to the New Orleans lynch-ing. Few American tourists are now inRome. The shopkeepers complain oftheir losses by reason of the diverting ofAmerican travel to other countries.

Frederick Schumacher, Henry Knu-som-an

FOREIGN JOTTINGS.

It is useless for the English liberalleaders to attempt to conceal tho factthat Gladstone's condition gives rise togenoral anxiety. As to the fact of hisailment, too much mystery is kept up,which only adds to the anxiety, and thatanxiety is deepened by the remembranceof the issue of reassuring bulletins dur-ing his attack 'of influenza at a timewhen it is now confessed ho was seri-ously ill. His age in itself is sufficientreason for feeling uneasy when he isordered prolonged rest. He will notagain be allowed to address meetingsfor some time to como. His politicalactivities, unless a general electionshould be sprung ou the country, will boconfined to a consultation as to tho pri-

vate leadership of his party. Perhapsat no time during the last five yearscould he be better spared than now, forthere is a lull in the political contro-versy. Thero Is nothing pressing whichdemands the attention of the leaders onono side or tho other, but Gladstoneoccupies a unique position. His growingyears makes his followers despondentwhenever it is stated he is ill.

Following the'oxperiraents of Fctch-nc-rin applying ciectricity to vegetation,

a Russian agriculturist, M. Spcchncif, isreported to havo mado a trial of seedswhich he had electrified for two minutesby means of a current, repeating thooperation ten times upon peas, beans,rye, etc. He found that generally thoclectricization of seeds nearly doubledthe rapidity of their growth. He thentried to cicctricize the earth, lie toalilarge plates of zinc and copper, 72 centi-meters (28 inches) high and 1" (ISinches) wide, which were sunk deepinto tho ground at the extremity of flatJron bars and connected above theground by an iron wire. The cfiVct ofthis continuous current is stated to havobeen prodigious upon vegetables. A rad-ish grew 44 centimeters (17.3 inches) inlength, with a diameter of 14 centi-meters (5Jf Inches), and a carrot 27centimeters (10.6 inches) in diameterweighed 3 kilogrammes (0.0 pounds),nor did this excess in size detract fromtheir good quality.

Santo Domingo reciprocity is likelyto come closely on tho heels of theSpanish Cub.m proclamation. It is un-

derstood that tho details have gone for-

ward to the point where tho formalitiesof ratification may soon be exchangedbetween the two countries. Mr. Galvan,the special commissioner from San Do-miug- o,

had several interviews with Sec-retary Blaine before tho latter was takensick, and the foundation was then laidfor reciprocal trade. Santo Domingohas a population not far from 425,000.Its chief exports arc coffee, tobacco andsugar. To keep its sugar market in theUnited States and possibly enlarge it areciprocity arrangement was necessary.In return it will make customs conces-sions on grain, breadstuff, cannedgoods, machinery and cotton manufac-tures, all of which arc among its mainimports.

The decision of the czar as arbitratorof tho dispute between France andHolland in Guiana is a great shock totho French. It was thought in Paristhat a great diplomatic advantage hadbeen gained when the czar was acceptedas umpire by Holland, and his verdict,which deprives them of rich and covetedterritory, has disappointed them bitterlyand has filled their minds with doubts asto the sincerity of that Russian friend-ship of which they felt so secure. Thoywcro encouraged a littlo by his tardyconsent to pay an informal visit to thoFrench exhibition in Moscow, bub arcbeginning now to fear that in doing thishis object was not so ranch to pleaseFrrncc as to excite tho apprehension ofGermany and gain a point in the econ-omic negotiations going on between St.Petersburg and Berlin.

A dispatch from Naples gives meagerdetails of a terrible accident which oc-

curred on Mount Vesuvius by which aBrazilian traveler lost his life and an-

other was rescued with difficulty. Ac-companied by a guide they made theascent and were noticed standing nearthe crater, gazing into its mysteries.Suddenly the whole party was envelopedby a dense cloud of sulphurous smokowhich so stupefied the travelers that oneof them reeled for about a minute thenstaggercdand fell into the crater. Thoguide who accompanied the men had inthe meantime caught hold of the secondtraveler and dragged him to a positionwhere the crater fumes could not reachhim, thus saving his life.

Reports which continue to come totltis country from the wheat sections ofAsia indicate that the stories of shortcrops are understated rather than over-drawn. While tho recent article fromthe pen of Erastus Wiman, in which hepredicts a heavy advance in the price ofcereals, was at first believed to be over-drawn, it is now thought that the Euro-pean demands will stimulate prices ofAmerican grains to such an extent asto make his predictions come approxi-mately near the truth.

Union of Catholic Workmen.Cardinal Manning is forming a

union of Catholic workmen on the lineslaid down in the recent encyclical of thepope. The society embraces the entireEnglish-speakin- g world. Cardinal Gib-

bons is working in conjunction with Car-dinal Manning in organizing the Ameri-can branch of the union. The organiza-tion is open to both skilled and unskilledlabor. A small entrance fee will becharged. The aims of the organizationare to oppose socialism, to wean mem-bers from socialistic bodies, to maintaina good standard of wages, and to findemployment for members. Membershipin the union does not involve resignationfrom other trades unions unless theirtenets are opposed to the letter or spiritof the pope's encyclical. Cardinal Man-ning is very hopeful of good results toflow from this movement. He confersdaily with representatives of Catholicworkmen with a view of obtaining theirviews on practical questions of organiza-tion.

Eight hours will make a full day'swork at the world's fair. When thecarpenter's union found-tha- t men werebeing worked ten hours a day, insteadof eight, by the contractors, they sent adelegation to protest to the board of di-

rectors. That body decided that theeight hour rule must be strictly followedby the contractors.

Matters at tho Franklin (Wash.) coalmines have assumed a still more threat-ening form, and Colonel J. C Haineswired to Seattle for another companyof militia to report at once and tobring ammunition, camp equipage, anarations for a' week's service. PorterRobinson, one of the mine bosses, wasbrought to the City by a military guard,charged with killing Tom Morris andEd J. Williams, leaders of the riot.

The first authentic Information con-

cerning the riot was received fromFranklin. At least 1,000 shots werefired during the riot, which lasted aboutthirty minutes and resulted in the deathof Tom Morris, a white striker, whowas killed Instantly; Edward J. Will-iams, who was shot through the abdo-men and died six hours later, and thowounding of four strikers, two womenand one colored guard. The troublecommenced with tho return of the trainat 7:40 p. m. from New Castle, whichcontained a number of Pinkerton menwho had escorted a load of negroestotho latter mining camp. The guardssay that when the train was pulling IntoFranklin ltwas fired upon by some ofthe white miners in ambush, and thatwhllo no ono was hurt ballets whistledthrough the windows of the train at alively rate. Tho guards returned thefire from the window?, and the engineerseeing the danger put the train underfnll head and ran it to the depot, whichis inside the dead line.

When the train had stopped the whiteminers commenced firing upon the ne-groes' camp. They were between two

.cs, as the outside niiners were situatedon the flats below and on the hill abovethem. The negroes went perfectly wild,and all the efforts of the guards couldnot restrain them. They kept withinthe camp lines, and poured volley aftorvolley upon the miners on the flats, whereplied with equal iy as much vigor. Theminers on the hill kept up a good fire,but were answered shot for shot by thenegroes.

After the shooting intense excitementprevailed among the negroes, and theygathered about their camp in groups,threatening to mako another chargeupon tho whito miners. They werefinally quieted by the officers of thecompany. Thrco companies of militia

ro now camped between the strikersid the negroes.

at the City Hall when Pierce wasplaced In jalL For three years Piercewas the leader of the Des Moines searck-jr- s.

He has shot several persons in thatcity, and on three occasions ntobs havebeen organized to lynch him. The ciaf Harry Lloyd aad Terry Chaiattracted great attention at the tliAnother of his vlctlsss Is In the Insaneasylum from injuries received at Pierce'shands. Heretofore Pierce has receivedIhe support and sympathy of the tem-perance people, but this crime Is the.ast straw which any kind of public.pinion can stand.

Fierce, who is a scavenger, drove oneDf his wagons toward the customaryJumping grounds on, lower West Ninthstreet The officers had notified histchat he had no right to use the groundused by another or that which wasowned by the city. Driving down Ninthitreet, he came about opposite the newsrematory. Mr. Wlshart, who Is theegal guardian of the property In behalf.f the city as foreman of the crematory, --

ordered him not to dump there.' OnWishart'a coat was the star of his au-thority as an officer. The two men fellnto a sharp dispute. Pierce ordered hisaaen to dig again. They hesitated. Mr.Wlshart, a revolver banging at hislide, said; "I am an officer of the law.I have orders to allow no man to dumpin the street. They are going to pave .and will aot allow dumping." Piercesaid he had a right to dump sossewhere,and that he would tear down the fencewhich blocked the street. It being stillunopened. Wlshart said: "I have noauthority over tho fence. You can tearthat down at your own risk, but thestreet I am here to defend." Pierceseized a shovel and made an attempt todig, when, his rage overcoming him, hewhipped from the holsters at his belt tworevolvers and jumped toward Wlshart"Consider yourself under arrest" hescreamed. "I'll shoot you or any otherman that tries to stop me," and fired.Wlshart ra'sed his revolver to fire back. --

In doing so his revolver came In contactwith Pierce's and was broken. Whether .a bullet loft tt is a matter of doubtWlshart, seeing his revolver was useless,let it drop to the ground. The firstbullet of Pierce struck Wishart in thoarm. But Pierce, socing his victim un-armed, did not desist his murderouswork. Ho tired three more shots, one,according to the statement of an eye- -witness, after Wishart had dropped tothe ground-T- o

the crowd which gathered and wasgathering in ho said: "Stand back, orthero will be some more dead men."With revolver in hand bis wagon wasdriven down toward tho river where hehad concluded to go and dump. Thopatrol was sent for and Wishart wastaken to the City IlalL Doctors werecalled in and mado an examination. Be-sides the wound in the arm a hole wasfound in his abdomen. One of the othershots had entered a little to the right oftho middle and lodged somewhere in hisback. While in tho City Hall Wlshartlay in great agony on a pallet uati!Mrs.Wishart arrived. Tho grief of the poorwoman was terrible to see. At lastfor the sake of her husband she was. in-

duced to control herself. The little sonof tho dying man also was there. Hehad happened to bo at the City Hall ashis father was brought in He pushedup to him to speak. Mr. Wlshart saidnothing, but raised up his lips to kisshim. He was a manly little fellow ofabout twelve yeais and struggled hardto keep back tho tears. Ho kept con-tinually asking: "Tell me how he is,please. Will he die?" While Wlshartwas lying la tho City Hall basement theofficers arrived with Pierce. The crowdhad collected In great numbers at thefirst intimation that tho notorious Piercehad killed a man. . They weie jammedabout the City Hall so thickly that the.:officers had difficulty

"In opening a way

through the mob. As bo sllpped.out ofhis buggy tho Marshal demanded his re-volvers. He gave them up. A voice inthe crowd cried out: "Where Is therope?" A look of dismay flashed over .Pierce's features. He gave one lookatthe angry crowd, another at his weapons, .now out of his hands, and then boundedup the steps. He was carried down-th- o

stairs. On the way ho was cursing andswearing continually. He said: "Youcan't put me in jail. .You've no right to.1 demand bonds." But, bonds or .no,.'bonds, he was hustled down: When 'hecame to the door of the cells he wassearched. Tho holsters were still onhim. Then turning to the officers whowere searching him he said: "What axe-yo- u

trembling for? Why, you shake .like a leaf. Does It take six or 'eight .men to arrest one man? lean arresta man alono and he will come."

After a few hurried words, in whlch'hesaid ho had acted in self-defens- e. Piercewas taken to the cage and put in. Whenbrought down the lower hall he passed 'by the head of his groaning victim, buthe did not deign to give him a glance,and seemed actually proud of his deed,He was cool and collected, having recov- - ,ered from his fright, and continually,taunted the officers. His lean, cadaver-ous features and furtive eyes did notquail as he looked at any one, 'and hiswhole appearance was one of dare-dev- il

defiance. ' .
