It is an interesting fact that every member of the recent General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church South who served in the war was strongly in favor of union' with the Northern Church. The New York Chinese mission has between 4,00(T and 5,000 Celestials in its Sunday schools. About sixty havjjoined the various churches. The first Sundayschool for these people was founded in New York eighteen years ago. There are now over 1,000 Young Men's Christian Associations in this country, with a membership of 140,000, expending for Christian work $785,000. The aggregate of property in buildings, libraries, etc., is over $5,000,000. People who want land can be aeommodated for awhile yet. There are still 9,000,000 acres of public land in Colorado, 12,000,000 in Arizona, 30,000,000 in California, 49,000,000 in Dakota, 7,000,000 in Florida, 44,000,000 in Idaho, 7,000,000 in Minnesota,41,000,000 inUtah, 20,000,000 in Washington Territory, and some millions of acres in other States and Territories. An interesting case has recently been reported in Boston, that of a child who had three attacks of scarlet fever. The first occurred at the age of five years, the second at eleven years, and the third some seven months later. It is evident from this, says the'Boston Ilcrald, "that one attack of scarlet fever does not secure future immunity, as was formerly supposed to be the case." Trichince have been discovered in a human body which was being prepared for anatomical demonstration at the University of Camerino. The man had lived for many years in a neighboring commune, and died without the presence of trichina; being suspected. Peculiar interest attaches to the case for the reason that it said to be the first case of trichinosis ever observed in Italy. The New York Times says that, notwithstanding the incessant experiments of ingenious projectors, and their success so far as the character of the light is concerned, there are probably fewer electric lights used in private dwellings and places of business by at least twenty five per cent, now than there were three years ago. Electricity, it says, is Etill too expensive to compete with gas. The coal beds of China are five times as large as those of Europe, while gold, silver, lead, tin,copper, iron, marble,and petroleum are all found in the greatest abundance. Owing to the prejudice of the people the mines have never been worked to any extent, it being the popular belief in China that if these mines are opened thoasands of demons and spirits imprisoned in the earth would come forth and fill the country with war and suffering According to the San Francisco Chronicle, "the people of Montana are getting ready to make a telling fight for admission into the Union at the next session of Congress. They claim to have the necessary population, and there is no doubt as to the resources of the Territory. Those who are familiar with the region comprised in the proposed new State predict for it an unparalleled development,being rich in mines, timber, water,and agricul tural and grazing lands." James II. Macdonald, the new Lieutenant-Governor of Michigan, has an income of $40,000 a year on an investment which cost him less than $350. When Captain Moore discovered the Colby mine in the great Gogebic iron range he sold a third interest to Macdonald for a few dollars. The land is now worked by a cojnpany which pays a royalty of forty cent?a ton. The royalty for the present year amounts to $120,000, a third of which goes to Lieut.-Governor Macdonald. X ' A singular phenomenon was lately witnessed near Greenville, Ala. A whirlwind about fifteen feet wide passed over a pond, forcing the water up for about two or two and a half feet its entire width, then twisting it into a pillar about #a foot in diameter. This stem was perpendicular for about six feet, when it giauuuuy wiueneu uuiu a ccigni oi about sixty or seventy feet was attained. The water then fell in a spray. Those ^ho witnessed it say shat the whirlwind formed a huge goblet of the water, and it was one of the prettiest sights they ever aaw. The agricultural Department has issued a report to show that 10,000,000 acres of forests are used yearly in this country for fuel and lumber. Fires, it 33 calculated destroy about 10,000,000 acres aaora The forest area of this country is less than 450,000,000 acres. At this rate we will in a quarter of a century have no forests. Whatever relief may come in the future from a change in the fuel question the demand for timber will increase as the country increases in population. The whole thing seems to point to arboriculture on a large scale systematically, and in no long time either. It "was supposed that the death of the late Captain Eads would end the Tehauntepec ship-railway project, of which he was the originator. It seems not. The stockholders in the enterprise, twenty-five or thirty of whom, representing ?15,000,000 of stock, reside at Pittsburg, have determined to continue the work, and have selected one of their number, Colonel James B. Andrews, to take charge of it. He is a brother-inlaw of the deceased engineer, and said to be entirely competent to carry on the enterprise. The stockholders have abandoned the idea of asking for a Government loan, and will prosecute the work on its merits. A KENTUCKY TRAGEDY. 1 The Culmination of a Sanguin- j ary Faction Feud. t < Craig Tolliver and Three of His Followers Killed. ( A Kentucky feud of long standing which ] t?s cost many lives is ended at last. A , Louisville dispatch gives the following history of the terrible series of tragedies and their origin: In Kentucky's lawless mountain county of ! Rowan was this morning enacted the final chapter in the bloodiest mountain vendetta j known in the history of the State. Four . desperate men forfeited their lives while re- | listing the mandates of law. After the destruction of thousands of dollars' worth of property, and the less of twenty-one lives. Rowan Count}" can now return to peace and prosperity. To-day's work ends the succession of tragedies that "have been enacted in that Bounty since the beginning of the MartinTolliver feud,not quite two years ago, the re- I suit of which up to date has been, besides the killing of twenty-one men, the maiming for life of at least a score or more of persons, the destruction of all social relations and of nearly the entire business interests of the county, and a state of lawlessness and terrorism that have driven good men, with th*ir , families, away from home and friends to seek new homes in other parts of the country. ; The feud out of which to-day's tragedy grows began at the August election in 1SS4, when Cook Humphrey for .Sheriff defeated Sam Gooden by a majority of lli. A drunken fight occurred, in which John Martin was badly hurt. He claimed that Floyd Tolliver and John Day beat him with clubs. Shooting followed in which Solomon Bradley, a bystander, was killed, Tolliver said by Martin. As a result of this fight, John .Martin, "Ben, tns iacner, ?? m anu "Dave," his brothers, and Cook Humphrey, who had lived with the Martins when a boy and gone to school at Morehead from their farm, were ranged on one side; Marion, Craig and Floyd Tolliver, brothers, and "Bud," Jay and Wiley Tolliver, cousins, living in Elliott County, ?n the other side. In December, John Martin met Floyd Tolliver in a whisky shop at Morehead and killed him. To escape lynching Martin was taken to Winchester jail. Six days later a forged order was presented to the iailer and Martin in- irons put on the train to return to Morehead for trial. At Farmers, an intervening station, a masked mob boarded the train and killed Martin. The Tolh vers then began the work of exterminating the Martins and their friends, prominent among them being the Cook Humphreys party, who sided with the Martins. Humphreys < was chased into the bushes, escaping, but his friend, Ben Rayburn, was killed ana a notice posted on his body forbidding burial. Sympathizers with the opposing faction were ] ambushed and shot down without mercy, until the blood of at least ten victims crieu | out for vengeance. The militia were i called in, but the Tolliver gang were pro- i tected by a court in which Judge and jury | were friends of the Tollivers, and the court ( proceedings were a farce. Perjured witnesses j and a partial Judge and jury wiped away ] effectually each crime and turned the mon- ( sters out to commit fresh iniquities. j Sheriff Hogg, presumably acting under instructions from the State authorities?for he recently visited Frankfort to see Gov. Knott ?has been for about a week quietly organizing a very large posse of determined men in ] the upper part of jRowan county and the ad- j joining counties for the purpose of arresting i^raiR luiavcr, ui oil IUC pai ij luaunasmi^u- I catea in the murder of the Logan boys, two I weeks ago. Craig Tolliver had received in- j timations of this, but they were so vague j that he supposed the party would be regulators instead of a Sheriff's posse. Tolliver and his party, consisting of about ten ' men, were "quite vigilant, and went ' heavily armed to meet every east- 1 ward bound train at the depot to search for suspicious characters, and to see that no one 1 got off at Morehead but those whom they de- ] sired. Sheriff Hogg equipped his large party < with Winchester rifles, and the ammunition was secretly conveyed to his rendezvous ( while he was organizing the posse. Sheriff Hogg's band of men, numbering 200. appeared suddenly at Morehead about eignt o clock this morning. A cordon was 1 first established around the entire ' town in the brush where the men 1 could not be seen. The Sheriff then en- 1 tered the town at the head of about 100 wellarmed men. Craig Tolliver and his ten fol- ' lowers immediately retreated to the Cottage j Hotel, which they had previously barricaded in such a manner as to make it quite a formidable fortress. Sheriff-Hogg then notified Tolliver that he had warrants for the arrest of all the men j implicated in the killing of the Logan boys, ana asked that they all submit peaceably to j arrest under the law. Tolliver's reply was that neither he nor his men would be arcsted, and that a hundred men could not take 1 them. His party then opened fire upon the j Sheriffs poss?. Quite a brisk rattle of mus- ' ketry ensued, and the fighting was kept up ' for about two hours. The only casualty for ? a time was a flesh wound received by one of the Sheriff's posse. The attacking party, however, were gradually drawing their lines closer aronnd Tolliver's fortification, and the . besieged party, finding things growing too warm, finally concluded to make a bold rush ior lioeriy, cut wieir way uiruu^u >uo Sheriffs lines, and take to the adjacent brush, i which once reached would afford them a 1 secure escape. ] As they made the rush they were met by a < volley, which killed Craie Tolliver. Biul Tol- t liver. Jay Tolliver, and Hiram Cooper. They were all shot through the heart ana died instantly. Craig Tolliver seems to have been a general target, as he was to thoroughly riddled as to be scarcely recognizable. The other men of the gang got through safely, but as they approached the brush they were met by a volley from the outside cordon, a line of men stationed ten or twelve feet apart, all around the town. This volley wounded Care Tolliver, a twelve-year-old boy, and three others, all of whom were captured except Cate Tolliver, who crawled into the brush and escaped. The other three also escaped, but one was captured afterward. This brought the battle to an end. and the slain were viewed by the people and the passengers from the train. The four men killed to-day were the leading spirits in the vendetta. LATER NEWS, The first surprise in Jacob Sharp's trial was the app?aranceon the witness stand of W. H.

The most daring train robbery that ever >ceurred in Texas was perpetrated at 1:30 >'clock the other morning, a short distance 'rom Schulenburg, on the Southern Pacific Railway. As the train drew up at the station ;wo men, with drawn revolvers, mounted the >ngine, covered the engineer with their | weapons, and conijielled him to pull the train )ut to the open prairie, a few hundred yards :o the east, where a fire was burning, iround which stoo l eight or ten men armed tvith Winchester rifiis.

The city { presents a sight such as never met the eye of 1 any man in the present generation of London- ' "" ll-l-J A 11 1 I erS. ine crowua were uupiamucu. ^xix night long hundreds of thousands of people, < who, by reason of the crowding of the ho- ! queen victoria at eighteen. fcels iind lodging houses, had nowhere to lay , their heads, tramped in endless procession through the streets. Others, armed with camp stools and lunch baskets, betook themselves to out-of-the-way places and prepared to make the l>est of it until morning dawned. At an early hour the police details were trebled in strength, and Westminster Abbey, | which had bten closely guarded during the j night, was surrounded by the police anil military, who ke pt the crowd at a respectful distance. From early in the evening until daybreak carriages and equipages of every description, crowded with occupants, were driven toward the West End. At 5 o'clock, a. m., every point of vantage from which to obtain a view of the royal procession was occupied, and at 9 o'clock the crowd along the line of march was one compact mass of people. The line 01. the procession to Westminster Abbey was us follows: From Buckingham Palace to Constitution Hill, Piccadilly; to ! Regent street; to Waterloo place; to Pall Mall, to East Cockspur street, to Northumberland avenue, to the Thames Embankment, to Bridge street, and thence to the Abbey. The March to Westminster Abbey. The line of route was kept by nearly 10.000 troops, representing all branches of the service, and in addition <i(X) boys from the naval training ship. The latter were drawn up at the base of tiie Nelson Monument. The police force was very large, and whs under the direct eomraan <1 of Sir Charles Warren. The military force was under the command of General Gipps and Colonel Stirling, of the Cold Stream Guards. The first part of the royal procession started shortly after ten o'clock ana was composed of the Indian Princesand minor German Princes. They were enthusiastically cheered as they emerged from the palace gates, and the plaudits were taken up and carried along the crowds that lined the route until the royal party had disappeared within tlie spacious recesses of the Abbey. At fifteen minutes to eleven the second royal procession started. In this procession were the Kings of Denmark, Belgium, Saxony and Greece, the Crown Princes of Austria, and Portugal, the Queen of the Belgians, the Crown Princess of Austria, the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg and others of the royalty. The Queen's cortege came last ? .The first of the royal procession was eompof edof the Indian Princes and a few minor German princes. Punctually at 11:15, A.

When the procession passed along Piccalilly.and turned down by Waterloo Place into Trafalgar Square the cheers of the vast crowds then in sight of the Queen and covering the pavement, stands, windows, roofs, and everything in sight capable of holding a human being, were so long, loud, and overpowering as to be absolutely exciting. The Queen was thrilled. It was while passing through this past multitude that the extreme popularity of the arrangement of the Queen s personal escort was made most manifest. The sons, the sons-in-law, and the grandsons were all cheered by the people, rrince Frederick William, the German Crown Prince, in ws wniie unuorm, was sasily recognized by the populace, and he was applauded by Englishmen as he never has yet been in his own country. At Westminster Abbey. At the central door of the "Westminster Abbey the ladies and officers of the Queen's household awaited the arrival of the royal party. As its members descended from their carriages, the ladies and officers advanced to meet the Queen. The officiating clergy tvera assembled in the nave of the Abbey. When the Queen appeared at the foot of the steps, the clergymen formed a procession, heaaed by the minor canons ana the canon residentiary. Then came the Bishop of London, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York and the Dean of Westminister. The heralds and the members of the royal household followed, preceding the royal princes and relatives of her Majesty, who walked three abreast, the two lines nearest ths Queen bsiug composed of the Prince of Wales and the Dukes of Conn aught and Edinburgh and Prince Christian, Crown Prince Frederick William, and the Grand Duke of Hesse. The Queen then came. She was immediately followed by the Master of Horse and the Mistress of the Etobes, the Princesses coming in pairs. Prince Alfred of Edinburgh and the women of the bedchamber and ladies in waiting and others closed the procession, with the Captains of the corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms ana the Yeomen or the Guard, whose corps was posted at different points in the ADOey. AS Dno processiuu uieu up the aisle Dr. Bridge played the march by Handel, and the royal family slowly took their seats on the dais,"the Queen occupying the coronation chair, over the back of which drooped the regal robes of state, which the Queen presently assumed with the assistance of the Mistress of the Robes. The Abbey was now a blaze of magnificence. On the right of the royal dais the Lord Chancellor. in nis masmiflcent robes of state and Bowing wig, a mass of velvet and ermine,was seated. Behind him sat five hundred paers of the realm and their peeresses, attired in costumes of rich velvet and sumptuous silks. Behind these sat the Lord-Lieutenants, heavy with their robes and insignia of office, and the diplomats, whose bosoms were covered with decorations. On the left, and facing the Lord Chancellor, was the Speaker of the House of Commons, also wearing his robes of office, with the golden mace before him. Behind him were the members of the House of Commons and their wives, all richly arrayed. So, on Bither side of her, the Queen's eyes fell upon two brilliant masses, splendid xn colors and lazzling with jewels. The galleries were crowded with a black mass of clergymen. Down the nave the eye tm'fK a KriorKf nrrfl V nf inilitflrV WCK> gICTTfC\A n*Wl V?. - ?'J J and naval uniforms, and the dazzling Oriental costumes of the Indian Rajahs, sparkling with precious stones. The scene was of more than regal splendor, and must havi reminded the Queen of the lavish display of grandeur which signalized her coronation. Court officials who have seen both say to-day's spectacle far exceeded that of the coronation in magnificence. Among the notables who could be seen from the press gallery were Premier Salisbury, wearing the Order of the Garter; Lord Cranbrook,Sir.Gladstone,in court uniform, with Mrs. Gladstone: James Russell Lowell, and Mr. Blaine. In th> gallery everlooking the dais Queen Kapiolani and Princess Liliuokalaui, in rich golden robes, were seated in the sacrarium. Among the royalties who awaited the Queen's arrival were the bHnd King of Saxony, who was led to a seat in the choir near the dais, beside whom sat the Queen of the Belgians and Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria. A fanfare of silver trumpets announced the Queen's arrival. Another fanfare intimated that she had taken her seat in the coronation chair. Outside there had been heard a continuous roll of cannon salutes, and pealing of bells, all mingling with the thunderous acclamations of the people. But a sudden hush fell ?vflrvwhere when the Oueen, seated, took the prayer book in her hand and bowed her head for a short interval in silent prayer. The service then commenced, the Canon intoning and the choir responding, with an appeal to Almighty God in the Queen's behalf. This was followed by the singing of a "Te-Deum'1 to a setting by the Prince Consort, which was grandly effective. After the Lord's Prayer the Archbishop of Canterbury, stepping to the front of tbe communion table, read the three special prayers prepared for the occasion. During the reading of the prayers the foreign princes and princessess knelt, wliile the members of the English royal family, following the national custom,simply inclined forward. The psalm chosen was the twentieth ? "The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble." The Dean of Westminster next read the lesson for the day (First Peter, chapter 2). Then followed the anthem, "Blessed be the Lord thy Godr who hath delighted in thee," written especially for the jubilee. Ia the middle of the anthem was inserted by request of the Queen, the chorale "Gorha," composed by her husband, Prince Albert The remainder of the service was conducted by the Archbishop of Cantebury. The final organ solo was prolonged to -?u1~ firvr? tn inin in the nrnvpr. cLUiUlC U1C ., Before the cessation of the strains the ceremony ended, The Qneen, rising from the coronation chair, signaled to the heir apparent to approach her. The Prince of wales immediately stepped to her Majesty's side, and, making a low obeisance, kissed her hands. The Queen kissed her son on the cheek before permitting him to depart. The Crown Prince of Germany next approaches and kissed her Majesty's hand, an example which was followed by every other prince on the dais. In each case her Majesty returned the salute with a motherly kiss on the cheek or forehead. The princesses on the left of the Queen, headed by the Crown Princess of Germany and the Princess of Wales, ;hen went through a similar ceremony. The salutation of the first-named lady was remarkable for its warmth and heartiness, and the nore remarkable in the fact that just as her Royal Highness wasabout to retire herMajesty jailed her back and kissed her a second tima Then her Ma jest}' intimated to the LordChamserlain that she was ready, and the return journey was commenced, the organist plajng the March of the Priests in "Athaiie' as the procession, in the same order as at the :omrnencement of the proceedings, left the sacred edifice. The Queen left the Abbey, leaning on the arm of the Lord Chamberlain. The procession, which came by the Thames Embanknent,returnod via Whitehall, j>assingthe War, Admiralitv, and other State departments, which were decorated with flags and festoons ill along ^heir fronts. The return was made imid a prolonged and unbroken succession of popular acclamations, the Queen responding ay bowing to the right and left. The procession readied _ Buckingham Palace shortly ifter o'clock, and five minutes ater her Majesty passed into the )a!ace amid the nio-t tumultions cheering with her escort of Generals )n either side. The Marquis and Marchioness )f Salisbury, who had hurried to the palace by a shorter way from the Abbey, were present to receive her. iiuriuenrs ui mu u;iy. Other Americans present nt the service in the Abbey were United States Ministers Phelps and Lawton, Senators MePhersonand Hale, Congressman Perry Belmont. ex-GovJi'iior English, of Connecticut, and others. Mr. Phelps drove to Westminister Abbey in n landau. His bin .-k coat was in conspicuous contrast with the brilliant uniforms of lis brother diplomats. The Queen's dress was not striking. Across ler breast she wore the broad blue ribbon of he Garter. The only other de-oration she ivore was that of the Order of Cobnrg-Gotha. The most conspicuous figure in the procesilon was the German Crown Prince, wnose nagnificent phj'sique, set off by a snow-white mitorm, shone conspicuously among the irincely throng. A reception and banquet were given at the lalace at night, the guests being limited to nenibers of royal families and diplomats. Mr. Phelps was present. The police reports show that fifty persons were admitted to Charing Cross Hospital during the day. The majority of tnem had fainted in consequence of the great rush. _)ne man was killed by a horse. Several Datients were also admitted to Westminster Hospital who were suffering from prostration caused by the heat, crowding and excitement. The horse ridden by the Marquis of Lome was restive while the procession was moving along and threw the Marquis. He managed to alight unhurt. At 10 p. m. beacon fires were lighted simultaneously on all the principal peaks from Cornwall to the remotest part of Caithness, forming a connected chain of signals over the whole country. t?i oil T^iirnnAan canitals there was a great rejoicing over the Queen's jubilee day, The jubilee illuminations at night were splendid, and were viewed by immense crowds. CONFEDERATE FLAGS. President Cleveland Revokes the Order for Their Return. A Washington special says that the extraordinary outburst of public sentiment throughout the country, condemning the return of captured Confederate flags to the Governors of the respective Southern States, had an immediate result at the "White House in the issue of the following letter from the President to the Secretary of War: "I have to-day considered with more care than when the subject was orally presented to me the action of your department directing letters to be addressed to the Governors of all the States offering to return, if desired, to the loyal States the Union flags captured during the war of the rebellion by the Confederate forces and afterwards recovered by Government troops; and to the Confederate States the flags cap- I TTninn fntvos nil nf whirh for I many years, have been packed in bores and ' stored in the cellar and attic of the War De- ! partment. I am of the opinion that the return ! of the flags in the manner thus contemplated 1 is not authorized by existing law, nor justi- I fled as an Executive act. I request, therefore, that no further steps be taken in the ! matter, except to examjne and inventory 1 these flags and adopt proper measures for ' I their preservation. Any direction as to the final disposition of thepi should originate with Congress. Yonrs truly, j "Grover Cleveland." Prior to the issue of this letter dispatches from G. A. R. veterans and others came pour- i ing into Washington protesting against the original order, and legal proceedings in behalf of the State of Ohio?or at least of the Gov- j ernor and leading men of that State?had been set on foot to procure an injunction against I the carrying out of the order. Governor Foraker transmitted to the President a telegram he had received from the Ohio Department of the Grand Army of the Republic, said to represent 37,000 ex-soldiers, protesting against the order, and added for himself: "In transmitting this message I desire to comply with its request, and do most ear??4.1? fKo o/tfinn fn whi'nh it IieSULy piUl^Sl O^OiltOV lUb w ?>?MVW . , relates. The patriotic people of this State are shocked and indignant beyond anything I can express. I earnestly request you to revoke the order that has given such unqualified offense." The Governor also sent the following to General Bovnflbn at Washington: "Get the best legal advice, and if action can be maintained have appropriate legal proceedings instituted to enjoin the return of the tebel nags, especially those captured by Ohio I troops. If tnis outrage must be committed it will at least help us to endure it with greater patience to know that all lawful means have been used to prevent it. All expenses will be provided." General Boynton, acting upon Governor Foraker's instructions, engaged ex-Secretary George S. Boutwell, of Massachusetts, and Judge Shdfabarger, of Ohio, as counsel to institute proceedings to enjoin the Secretary of War from carrying out the order. The matter would have been brought before the Supreme Court of the District The papers were to have been based upon the claim tnat the Secretary of War was about to dispose of public property without authority of law. FALLING TREES, Three Persons Killed In Delaware and Three in Texas. During a heavy gale a big tree fell against two frame houses near "Wilmington, DeL, crushing them into fragments. Mrs. James Noble, Mrs. George Doran and Frank Doran, two years old, were killed; George Doran and Joseph Doran, his child, were badly injured. In a wind storm at Fair Play, Texas, on the same day, a tree was blown down, crushing the residence of Mrs. Watkins and instantly killing her sister, Mrs. Albert Tite, and her two small children. THE NATIONAL GAME. . The Bostons expect to clear at least $70,000 this season. I Stagg,' the famous Yale pitcher, expects to oecome a preacher of the Gospel. The New Yorks hare lost eight games this leason when a base hit would have either iron or tied the game. When a game is lost, at least eight memoers of the nine are unanimous in expressing ihat the pitcher lost the match. Wkyhing. the Athletic pitcher, discarded Ktt 4Un P^lla/lalnKioc V?oc nt'Al'oH R IVOil yj HUV JL UW7 j/> X- ? vv. .v w* ? der, and is pitching with great effect Campau made three home runs for New Orleans in one game, and the crowd presented him with $60, ladies subscribing with the rest. The first triple play of the season was made by the Baltimores at Cincinnati. Greenwood caught a liner, touched on second and threw to third. Maul, who was considered the best pitcher in the Southern League, has Leen secured by the Philadelphia Club. The price paid for his release was $2,500. What makes umpiring particularly trying to ex-ball players is the lact that ball tossers make it as unplea^nt as they possibly can for one of themselves after he quits the field and goes behind the plate. Coaching, the Boston Courier says, will undoubtedly be done away with next season. It is not enjoyed by the spectators, and the I yelling and hooting that it engenders is evidently done to disconcert the players. In a recent Denver-Topeka game Tebeau, in the sixth inning, made a home run when the bases were full, bringing in four runs. Silver was raineJ on him and lie gathered in $57.65. Voss, in the same game, got $20.25 and Silch $9 for home runs. connor, of the New Yorks. leads in the number of home runs made this season, he having six to his credit.

A TEBKIBLE TUMBLEi An Immense Balloon Falls Over Two Miles Like a Shot. An immense balloon which left St. Lonis a few days ago in charge of Aeronaut Moors had a short but eventful journey. Th? great air ship attained a height of 16,000 feet above the surface of the earth, according to the instruments of the United State* Signal Service. This is the highest on record in America. At this point the thermomefcermarked 37 degrees Fahrenheit. It seemed ^ verv cold, coming from a heat of 95 degree* in the shade an hour before. The air swp left the earth as if reluctant to depart, but once on its voyage it gained speed rapidly and was quickly among the clouds. Moore hurt his hand badly just as they were ascending, and the loss of blood rendered him senseless. One of the party relates these incidents: "Professor Hazen, of the signal service, sings out: 'We're going too fast' There is much excitement, but it calms in a minute, for the instrument records a falling. Again the signal officer gives a warning, 'We are falling dreadfully,' and tosses out a handful of circulars, Thioy shoot upward. Moore, half aroused, realized the peril and calls all hands to drop ballast He sand falls scarcely faster than the car, and the earth seems to fly op*v ward; rivers, fields, houses spread out as a vast map, growing terribly each minute. Moore sings out: "oometning wrung, uyja, if we don't stop her, we are lost;" 1,000 feet from the earth, and still tumbling madly; 700, and the drag rope touches earth; 600, and the check is perceptible. At 400th? balloon skims along, railing no more; the 800 feet of drag rope resting on thaearth gave the relief. More ballast was thrown out, and . the air ship again ascended, this time to 6,000 feet. The aeronaut then no* fciced that the bag was sagging, and. announced that a landing must be made. ' When within a few hundred feet of land the drag rope skimmed along the earth, mftlring a trail for four miles, and in its wake followed a crowd of natives. Several times they caught the rope and were hurled roughly to the ground. "At August Palm's farm, seven miles from ? Centralia, HI., his sturdy wife gave the dragrope a half dozen turns around an apple tree and brought the monster up with a ierk. The wind caught the folds of the balloon and . it soared like * a kite. For an honr the ^ farmers tugged at the rope, and finally * brought the party to the ground. When the aeronaut pulled the rip cord to his amazement he found it already loose,, and this was the cause of the fearful fall, so nearly disastrous to the occupants of the air ship. The carrier pigeons that were released from the balloon at 2,000 feet altitude appeared at their homes. The balloon ws? Drought back to St Louis, and arrangement* made for another ascent. . ? TTTT1 LABOR W01LD. | There is considerable demand for all kin* of mechanics in Kentucky and Tennessee. , ! The Western lumber manufacturers tter a that the prices will be much higher next fait. Denver, CoL, is becoming an Important manufacturing centre, and mil produce $80,-. 000,000 worth of products this year. The builders in the small towns all overtb? country are reporting an increasing demand for small houses. The building and loan a* > sociation fever is spreading in the West. Parke Davis & Co.,of Detroit, have started the ball in motion against foreign labor by, discharging men in their factory who live m Windsor, Canada, just across the border, and are not American citizens. The discharged. men say they will move to the Michigan adr and become citizens. The General Executive Board of the Knights of Labor has in preparation a statement giving a correct Eistcry of the difficulties which finally resulted in the -revocation of the charter of District Assembly 136 and, the local assemblies attached to it. A London paper says that thene is not one corner of Europe where American small coat, hardware is not for sale. Krupp of Germany,:; Armstrong of England, and Hotchkisjoff France, with all their vast resources, are nn* able to produce a monkey or acrew-barJ wrench equal to the American wrenches. Four railroads are now being built fa Georgia to centre in Atlanta. It will then be the greatest railroad centre in the Sooth, ibese roaas wui run inrougn wai, jumwr; and agricultural sections, and already svndicates are operating along the projected lines, securing control or the most desirable lands. New England textile manufacturers are generally improving their capacity and put-, ting in better machinery to decrease cost. A New Hampshire firm has ordered a cargo of wool from San Francisco around Cape Hornon account of high freights. The1 PeppereH mill in Maine has just divided $500,000 in dividends and has $1,030,000 left. Fivx National Labor Unions hove- been holding sessions during the past two weeks, The Printers at Buffalo, the Shoemakers'^ Brockton, the Ironworkers at Pittsburgh and the Machinery Workers and Miners as Cincinnati There were 200,000 shoemakers said to be represented through ISO delegates at Brockton, Mass. The Ironworkers had 180 delegates. ; There is a widespread movement amos? the Knightsof Labor for separate trade associations. The Harnessmakers will want one; the Ironworkers have organized for one, and the Coopers, Painters, and Decorators" insist on sepai ate control. Numbers of oth^crafts are asking for a separate room in th^ order, where they can tallc things over among themselves without interrurtion.
