CASSATT RETIRES FROM THE TURF fan Interesting Talk Abont the Trotting Meeting at Lexington. GENERAL SPORTIXG KEWS OF THE DAI r ,' President Kimick slates that some local Iplayers have faithfully promised to remain with the Pittsburg club, and are as good as signed. It is claimed that the local club cannot hold Pitcher Jones. A. J. Cassatt, kthe Pennsylvania horseman, has resolved to 'retire from the turl, and his runners will be ' sold at once. To-day will be one of great interest to the baseball enthusiasts of the country for all the players are eligible to sign and resign for next year. The interest will be unusu , ally great because ef the many rumors re- garding the intention of the Brotherhood. ' However, President Ximick. of the local club, I during a conversation on the matter lasteven t ing evinced little concern about the situation. 'Eesaid: ' "Of course we expect all of our players to I sign without any trouble. Sunday has given j -us his word that he will do so and that is just as , good as his bond. He may sign to-morrow, (however, we'll have no trouble with him, although he is not reserved by us. We took his word as a. guarantee of his intentions and j depend upon it he'll keep it. His nonestceal- flng enabled us to reserve another player. iManagerHanlon has also given us his word of 1 honor. But at any rate I think that Hanlon would be a very foolish man to even think of ' jolninc any other club or any other organization Itf money is what he is looking alter. As jmanager, captain and player in our club he will get more by far than he'll get elsewhere. Eo that he is only looking after and protecting his own interests when he promises us faitb- jfulty to remain with the club." KEADT TO SIGN. Beside the players above mentioned, Jake (Eeckley stated last evening that be is ready to jsign to-day if his demands are granted. He refused to state what they are, but he'll haTe a '.conference with President Kimick and Secre tary Scandrett this morning relative to the question. It is understood that one of there quests of the genial and famous first baseman .will be to be allowed to go home this evening. Re jls invited to participate in a most enjoyable trip .out West, and a friend ot his stated last even ing that Jake's hopes are extremely high con cerning getting away. Probably no player de 'serves a little favor more than Becklcy. It is also understood that Carroll before leaving promised to sign a contract as soon as It was forwarded to him. These promises indi cate that, despite the rumors to the contrary, some very importa'nt players intend to sign at once if their terms are granted. A member of 'the team stated last evening that Fred Dunlap will be in his usual place at second base in the Pittsburg team next year. It is stated that Fred has CHANGED HIS MIND about retiring from the ball field just at pres ent. A gentleman connected with the club stated last evening that it is not the intention of the officials to ask any ot the players to sign, but if they desire to do so and their demands can be granted, they can sign at once. The players generallyare anxious to get away home as soon as possible, and they claim that It is piling unnecessary expense on them keep ing them here doing nothing. One prominent member of the team said "If the club officials refuse to grant us such little favors, such as allowing us to go home a few days before our certified time is up when we are doing nothing. don't know how they can expect us to grant them any favors, and one favor is just as jood as another. A little favor might result in jetting the majority of us to sign for next teason, while on the other hand the withhold ing of it might cause much obstinacy and double. There was an interesting discussion among lome of the players relative to Pitcher Jones' Jase. One speaker said: "I don't think the dub has any claim on Jones at all. although his lame is on the reserve list. He has never been Ugned either by contract or writing of any and. JONES' STATEMENT. "At least Jones states this himself, and if his itatement is true. I don't seo how the club can ay any claim to him. He was paid oft on Satnr lay, and he complained strongly about not eing dealt with as the other players are." The officials of the club claim that they have in understanding with Jones equal to a ontract. However, they state that Jones is ill right, and that he will certainly pitch for the ?ittsburg club next jcar if all goes well. Referring to the annual League meeting ?resident Nimick said: "Undoubtedly the neeting will be of unusual interest, bnt I don't bink that any great changes will be made in he rules or constitution. Of course I expect o see the classification rule changed or modi led. If it is abolished something else will he ut in its place, though it may not be as far eaching as the classification plan. I am not in . position to say what will be offered in its lace, but it is natural to expect that those who je finding so much fault vitli it will have a ntntitnte. About the BrotLerhood. Well, I hmk it will be one of the best things that ever opened for the League if some of the play rs would start up a new organization. The re ult would speedily be that all of the players rould be applying to the League for engage ments at almost any price- Speaking senonsly, don't think thattheplajersarefoolishenongh o ruin themselves by any such means." AN UNFAIR DECISION. i-Well-Known Sporting Man Talks Abant , the Lexington Sleeting. One of the most popular patrons of the trot ng track, who always objects to his name eing publicly used, but whose jolly face is ell known, was in the city yesterday and liked very interestingly about the recent trot Sg meeting at Lexington. He said: "I attended the entire meeting, and I can jsnre you that it was the greatest meeting I ave seen. The firing of Messrs. Davis and ohms, however, was an unpleasant feature of . As you know by newspaper reports the idges suspected crooked work when Bessemer eat Roy Wilkes two successive heats, hey ultimately fined Mr. Davis, owner t Roy Wilkes, 51,000, and Mr. Robins, the river. $500. Now, this was unfair. Let me ill the facts of the case. Mr. Davis had an nbition to beat the record with his horse, and s lightened the horse's weights ana engaged I. Robins to drive him. Mr. Robins drives lcryon, and the latter is owned by Mr. Noble. t Mire were Messrs. Davis and Noble that Roy 'likes would win the race with the light eights, that Mr. Davis pnt $1,900 on his horse, id Mr. Noble also backed him heavily. oh ever, the light weights caused the horse to eak in the two first heats, when his driver was ken down and Ed Geers pat up. The heavy eights were also put on the horse and he went tteady as a clock, winning the race handily, 'by, after he had lost the first lit I saw Mr. Noble bet $500 to $100 that he ould win the race. In the mntuals in the cond heat there were only nine tickets sold talnst Roy Wilkes and this shows that there u no job. However. Messrs. Davis and abins will appeal against the very hasty and ifair decision." The speaker, in referring to the great Axtell, id: "The young stallion will not be sent to llifornia. "He will be kept at the head of the srre Hante farm. Budd Doble told me that ready six mares at 1,000 each had been oked to him. Next spring Doble will take m in charge and train him for the racing sea- Winning Driven. the New York Sportsman gives an interest stable of the winning drivers of the present ison. Only 12 out of a list of 116 have ached double ficures in victories. They are 'follows: James Goldsmith. 27; Charles Green, JL Turner, 18: W. H. McCarthy, 14; John Person, 13; Bndd Doble. 12; G.

The Wealthy Fennijlvnnla Horseman Ue- aolvea to Leave the Turf Reason! for Ills Action His Runners nod Tenrllnes to be Sold. New York. October 2a Mr. A. J. Cassatt, one of the wealthiest and most enthusiastic patrons of racing In this country, has deter mined upon an immediate retirement from the turf, and it is quite probable that the famous tii-color ot Chcsterbrook, which has been borne to victory by some of the greatest horses seen in recent years, will never appear on a race course again. All of Mr. Cassatt's racers will be sold under the hammer, without reserve, at the American Horse Exchange In this city, on Tuesday, Octo ber 29, and with their disposal the great "Kelso Stable" will be a thing of the past. In response to questions as to the cause of Mr. Cassatt's retirement. Colonel Bruce said: "Mr. Cassatt's horses have caused him more or less trouble uuring the past season, and as he felt that he needed a complete rest be de cided to get rid of them and go abroad. His departure will occur immediately after the sale, and he will not return inside of a year, and perhaps be will remain on the other side somewhat longer. I am quite sure that Mr. Cassatt is not quitting the turf because of any disappointments he may have received in con nection with it. In fact, I am certain that ho is not disgusted with racing. Nor yet has he found it an unprofitable kind of sport. His stable has always been a good winner in days gone by, and during the present season his horses have won in stakes and purses some thing over $60,000. Still Mr. Cassatt is de termined to mako his present separation from racing complete, if not altogether permanent." "You think, then, that it is possible he may return to the tnrt again I" "1 can hardly say that. Mr. Pierre Lorillard retired and has again returned, and Mr. Cas satt may do the same. Bnt if be does it will bo with an entirely new stable, for he will not retain a single one of the race horses now in his possession, Enrns alone excepted. This horse has not yet recovered from the effects of the raco at Monmouth Park last summer which rendered him lame, and Mr. Cassatt thinks that he wonld not bring a fair price if put up at auction in his present condition. But if he were sound and well he would surely go with the others." "Will Mr. Cassatt sell his breeding establish ment alio ?" "No, that will remain intact, for althongh Mr. Cassatt will not actively engage in racing, he will continue to breed and sell the yearlings raised at his farm at Chesterbrook, -where bis stallions, Stratford, Ben d'Or and The Bard now are." The horses that are to be offered at auction are as follows: Taragon, a 4-year-old colt, by Stratford xar-4, urea uy air. ajsatt nimsen, ana a inn brother to Conncmara. He has started 18 times this year and has won six of his races, among them being the Long Branch and Delaware handicaps at Monmouth Park, Now or Never. 4 years old. by Stratford Bye and live, also a product of Mr. Cassatt's breed ing. This colt has even a better record for this season than Taragon, having won 7 times in 13 starts. Eolo, a 4-year-old colt, bv Eolus War Song. Marauder, a 4-year-old colt, by Rayon d'Or Maudina, winner of the Brooklyn cup at Gravesend, in which were Hanover, Elkwood, Glen Echo and his own stable companion, Enrns. Madstone. a 3-year-old colt, by Vanderbilt Nina Turner, winner of the Arrow stakes and the Katonah handicap at Jerome Park, and the Newark stakes at Monmouth. Eric, a 3-year-old colt, by Dnke of Magenta Second Hand, half brother to Exile, This colt received great prominence by beating Diablo and Zephyru in the Belmont Stakes at Jerome Park last spring. He also won the Sheepshead Stakes at Sheepshead Bay last month from Hindoocraft, Diablo, Castaway IL and Slug gard. Equality, a 3-year-old filly, by Bend Or Equi poise. Euroclydon, The Abbess, Tartar, Foxbill and Phoenix, all 2-year-olds, and 34 vearlings. the get of Mr. Cassatt's stallions, Stratford and Bend Or. This will be the most remarkaMe clearing-out sale since Mr. Pierre Lorillard disposed of his horses at Rancocas in February, 1SS6. Mr. Cassatt has not been connected with the turf for as many years as Mr. Withers. Mr. Belmont and others of the more important owners, but during the time that he has been engaged in racing he has owned some of the greatest thoroughbreds in the land. The star of the stable was The Bard, the finest racer of his time. Mr. Cassatt first raced under the pseu donym of "Mr. Kelso." Mr. Cassatt's withdrawal from active racing is a great loss to the turf, which stands in need of the support of high toned gentlemen. The proprietor ol Chesterbrook was not in the busi ness to make money, and he was always a lib eral subscriber to the stakes of the recognized jockey clubs. SHARPENING THE AX Johnston, Alndden nnd Rndbonrne fllarked Men by Boston. tCFECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Boston, October 20. Already the Boston triumvirs are beginning to sharpen the ax for next season, and there are Indications that con siderable dead wood will be cut away from the Boston club. The marked men are Johnston, Madden and Radbourne. Two other players are under a cloud, and one of them will probably have to go. It will be seen that the most important changes in the Boston team for next year will be in the pitching. Clarkson was expected to and depended on to win the championship, as far as pitching was concerned. The men who were supposed to be able and willing to help him out once In awhile were attacked with faintness of heart when the race became close, as witness Rad bourne at Chicago and Indianapolis, and Mad den at Pittsburg, whtfre, in two of the three caes when they thought they were losing the game in which they were pitchiug, they want ed to be taken out and substituted by Clarkson to finish it out. When the men come to open their mail to morrow morning they will find a check in pay ment of their salary In full for the season, an interesting legal document in the shape of a formal notice to the player that the Boston club, by virtue of its contract with him, holds an option on his services for next year, and that the club is now ready to fulfill its claim to that option by signing him for the season 1S90.

THE PENNANT PRESENTED. A Benefit Given to the Members of the New York Clnb. New York, October 20. A reception was given to-night at the Broadway Theater to the New York Baseball Club, and that edifice was filled to the doors. The programme consisted of theatricals and singing, and many prominent players took part in it. The members of the team were marshaled on the stage, and DeWolf Hopper presented James Mutrie with the pennant of the League. Brief responsive speeches were made by Mr. Mutrie and John Ward. The receipts of the affair were about $4,600. Captain Drown's Flyer. The victory of Senorita in the Good Luck Handicap at Westchester last Saturday only confirms what we have claimed all along, viz., that the Prince Charlie filly is not only the best 3-year-old filly of the year, bnt one ot the best of either sex. fis Garrison could not leave Jerome Park Mr. Bryant was compelled to scratch Come to Taw. This left Senorita to concede weight to her entire field. Long street was a great favorite. As Captain Brown started both Senorita and Buddhist without declaring to win, the public was at a loss which to back. Senorita was popularly supposed to be the best, but when Martin was put on her and Bergen, the stable jockey, on Buddhist, people did not know what to think, and many went to the mutual, where they conld get the pair, while in the books they were separate. We noticed In the paddock, however, that Rogers, the trainer, devoted himself exclu sively to the mare, while his assistant looked after Buddhist The latter made the running but as Longstreet had bim beaten, Martin came at the last moment on Senorita and won, bat a great many who saw the race said Cup tain Brown would have won with Buddhist if he could.

The President Wnlks to Church Wearing a Bklnlng Silk Tilo. rsrECLlt TELEGRAM TO THE DISrATCTT.I "Washington, October 20. President Harrison walked to church to-day, with a shining silk hat on his" head and with natty brown gloves gripping a cane which bore a. head fashionably overgrown. At 'the Church of the Covenant the announcement was made that the teacher of the Bible class, who was anonymously announced last Sunday is Assistant Attorney General Shields, of the Interior Department, thereby putting at rest all surmises about Private Secretary Hal Jord and Postmaster General Wanamaker. The various local churches appear to be willing to gain all the advantage they can out of the religious tendencies of the admin istration, for at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church it was announced to day Ih'at a high official of the Government would next Sunday begin teaching the ladies' Bible class. No name was given, but Attorney General Miller was supposed by the audience to be the man referred to. The rivalry among the churches for prom inent members of the administration as teachers of Bible classes is becoming quite oitter, and some extraordinary church poli tics are expected to result therefrom. Another interesting administration re ligious item is that Harry McKnight, of Philadelphia, a clerk in the city postoffice and a protege of Postmaster General Wana maker, is preparing plans for establishing throughout the country a Letter Carriers' Christian Association. STMPATfll F0K THE TOILERS. The Pope Expresses His View to a Party of French Pilerimn. Rome, October 20. The Pope to-day gave audience to a party of French pilgrims and delivered an address to them. He appeared feeble, and his voice was almost inaudible. In his address he urged the necessity of re ligion for the masses, and said that the Papacy was a protector of the working classes. He also reiterated his protests against the attitnde of the Italian Govern ment toward the Papacy. The Pope advised the formation of an as sociation, which shall be devoted to secur ing the material welfare of workmen by procuring increased facilities for labor, in culcating principles of economy and de fending the rights and legitimate claims of workmen. He expressed the hope that go v e rnments evervwhere would treat the work ing classes with kindness and endeavor to restrain tendencies toward luxury and an undue desire for wealth. He advised mas ters to be kind to their workmen, and work men to be obedient to their masters. FIENDISH TRAIN WRECKERS. A Horrible Disaster on the Bock Island Rond Very Narrowly Averted. "Witchita, Kan., October 20. An at tempt was made at 10 o'clock this morning to wreck a passenger train on the Bock Island Railroad, 15 miles east of HcFar land, Kan. A strong piece of timber was placed in an upright position in a culvert, the end projectingfivefeet above the tracks. Tbetrain was rnnningat the rate of 25 miles, and when the engine struck the obstruction one of the cross-ties which held the beam broke in such a way as to permit the beam to fall to the ground, and allow the train to pass with only slight damage to the engine. Twenty minutes before the accident, the Colorado express had passed the culvert without encountering the obstruction. The wreck is supposed to have been attempted lor the purpose of robbery.

Isaac Horton, Tramping Through the Wilds of Panther Creek, HUHTIHG THE PLDMP PARTRIDGE. Meets a Ferocious Bear That Makes a Meal Off of His Spaniel Nick. HE RIDDLES BRUIN'S HIDE WITH SHOT, And DiscoTcrs that He Bas Killed a Former Pet of a Keljlibor. A man who was hunting partridges near Scranton, the other day, ran across and killed a bear. Upon examining the carcass of Bruin the hunter was surprised to find, by a mark upon it, that he had killed one of two bears that escaped from Obadiah Cheesebrough's sen last January. IBFECIAI. TELEGRAM TO TIHE DISPATCH.: Sceanton, October 20. Three years ago last spring, Obadiah Cheesebrongh, who lives at the base of Peachstone mountain, in Springbrook township, captnred a pair of male cub bears in a ravine near Monument creek. The mother bear overhauled and tackled him before he had gone far, and after a hard fight he killed her. Cheese brough's left arm and side were badly torn in his tussel with the old bear, and the scars are there yet. The cubs got away while he was engaged in the conflict, bnt the next day Cheesebrough's sons, Harvey and Eugene, recaptured the cubs and took them home. , ' When they were a few weeks old Cheese brough marked the young bears, so that he conld claim them if they ever strayed away. He had an old branding iron with a figure 6 on the end of it, and on the left shoulder of one of the cubs he branded that figure. Then he inverted the iron and burned a figure 9 on the right shoulder of the other cub. He hadn't named the cnbs yet, and he decided to call them Six and Nine. THE CUBS BECOME PETS. From that time on the names were ap plied to the young bears so often by all of Mr. Cheesebrough's folks, that the little animals soon got to know them, responding to their respective titles as readily as two intelligent dogs. During the first "year Six and Nine were great pets on Mr. Cheese brough's place, and in the daytimetbeyhad the freedom of the premises. At night they were confined in a pen. Last fall both bears began to grow cross and unmanageable. Before then they had been friendly to Mr. Cheesebrough's dogs, but thfy became so ferocious after a time, that they nearly killed his fox hound one day, and it was not safe for the dogs to go near them, Nine was the more ferocions and unruly. Last October he killed a large rabbit dog owned bv Harold Wharton, and later On he squeezed the life out of one of Mr. Cheesebrough's shoats and devoured it. Six wandered away one day in the fall and captnred a sheep" from George Board man's field, lugged it into a clump of bushes and feasted on it. A little too costly. They were both getting to be altogether too expensive pets to suit the notions of Mr. Cheesebrongh, and he concluded to confine them nntil the latter part of January and then butcher them and sell their hides and meat. Early in December he built a strong log pen and placed Six and Nine in it He removed the straps from their necks, let them have full swing, and fed them regu larly. They grew crosser and crosser, and no dog ventured to go near the pen. The bears did not fatten very rapidly in their narrow quarters, and confinement made them uneasy. On the night of January 9 the bears broke out ol their pen and disappeared. It was a rainy, warm night, and there was no snow on the ground. On the morning of the 10th. as soon as their owner found that his bears had broken out and rnn away, he got a party together and went in search of them. Everybody in the township knew the bears by siht and name, but not one of the searching party got a glimpse of either Six or Nine in the long day's hunt. TRACKS OP THE FUGITIVES wire found in the muddy road here and there, within half a mile of Mr. Cheese brough's house, but the trail was lost on the upland and it was never found again. Harvey and Eugene searched high and low for Six and Nine atintervalsduring the next fortnight, and then they gave it us, in the hope that the bears would come around of their own accord when they got tired of leading a wild life. But the bears did not get tired, it seemed, for they never returned. Last Wednesday Isaac Horton and his spaniel, Kick, were tramping through the wilds of Panther creek. Horton carried a double-barreled breech-loading shotgun, and was on his way to a wintergreen patch where he knew partriages to be plentiful. The dog was out ot sight a good deal of the time, running here and there through the brnsh and over logs, and occasionally bark ing at a squirrel or a chipmunk that scam pered away from him. Horton let Nick have his own way, and the dog soon strayed into an old windfall and began to telp as though he was being murdered. The hunter clambered over the fallen trees as fast as he could; and found that the dog had run foul of a big bear underneath a large log. Horton came face to face with the bear, but by that time Nick had ceased to yelp, and the bear was so busily engaged in finishing the dog that he didn't see Horton, and Horton emptied both barrels into the bear's face and eyes. The two charges of shot blinded the bear, but it made a lunge, uttered a groan and knocked Horton off his feet. He got up in a hurry,while the bear was bellowing and floundering in the brush and among the logs, slipped two more cartridges in his gun, blazed away and blew the left side of the bear's face off. That used the bear up so much that Horton was able to cut his throat. As coon as the brute had bled to death. Horton yanked him around by his hind legs and pulled him across a log. In doing this HE NOTICED A MARK on the right shoulder. Looking closer, he found that the bare spot was in the shape of a figure 9, and he then realized for the first time that he had slain one of Mr. Chese brough's runaway bears. The spot where he killed Nine was i$ miles from Mr. Cheesebrough's house. Horton gave the skin to the bear's former owner and kept the carcass for his own use ind that ot his neighbors. An Open-Air SpcnU-Easy. About 7 o'clock last evening a crowd of Hungarians were operating an open-air speak-easy under the Sylvan avenue bridge in the Twenty-third ward.

MONDAY, OCTOBER ,21, THEIE DAY 0fr,BEl3lC The International A'merlcan Delegates Fas a Quiet Sandav at Chicago A Llttlo Trip Around the Cltr the Oalr Feature. Chicago, October 20. The Sabbath day was indeed a day of much needed rest to the delegates to the International Pan-American Congress. Eighteen days ago they started from the city of Washington. Sinbe that day they have been speeding with lightning rapidity through the vast terri tory of the United States, tarrying but long enough in the populous cities and busy towns on theirroute to get a glimpse of their wealth and resources and future pros pects. To be sure, their accommoda tions comprise everything that human ingenuity can devise to alleviate the discomforts o'f travel, the people with whom they have been thrown in contact have been most considerate, their welfare and programmes for their entertainment have been promptly abridged or otherwise modified to meet the slightest suggestion, bnt, nevertheless, the last week has been the most exhausting in its demands upon the physical strength of the delegates, and they welcomed the announcement that to-day they were at liberty to rest Consequently, few of the party were seen at the breakfast tables this morning, and it was well along toward noon before the majority of them de serted their comfortable beds and appeared in the lobby of the hotel where they are stopping. Carriages had been kept in waitingby the Beception Committee, and snch of the ex cursionists as felt inclined were driven along the lake frontoron other attractive avenues. After dinner about 30 of the party were tacen in cnarge oy tne local committee ana escorted to the Armour Mission and Kin dergarten, where 1,500 children are cared for spiritually and materially. The usual Sunday service was in progress when they entered the building, and after listeningto some hymns they were shown into the Kin dergarten. There were no demonstrations or departures from the ordinary practices of this school, except that the children had been gotten together on Sunday instead of a week day, but it may safety hg said that npon no other occasion during their journey were the delegates more deeply interested than when the 75 little tots, neatly but plainly attired, whispered first the words and then sang in smaU infantile voices, and with such expression as the teacher's warning finger conld inspire, of the mother dove and her little ones, and of the baby's birthday. The carriages were again called into re quisition, and the distinguished visitors were taken on a long drive along Michigan avenue, where they saw how Chicago's wealthy men live, and so on back to their hotel and to dinner. This evening, at the suggestion of those in charge, the delegates were left undisturbed for rest A C0MMDN1TI EXCITED. Rewards Offered For tbe Arrest and Con viction of a Murderer and Robber. Cabthage, Mo., October 20. No little excitement has been created by the murder and robbery of G. N. Horn, a prominent grocer, while on his way home one week ago last night. The city of fered a reward of $200 and by private subscriptions an additional reward of $285 had also been raised. These rewards have aroused the local officers to pnt forth every exertion for the capture of the mur derer. The coroner's jury has been in session almost continuouslr since the night of the tragedy and has not yet adjourned. Snspicton has pointed strongly toward Henry Shockley, a notorious tongh character of this city, as the murderer. He has been in the employ of a gentleman who has a railroad contract in the Indian Nation. Shockley, who was on a spree Saturday and Sunday lost, left here Monday to rejoin the party of railroad laborers to which he was attached. Enough evidence having been obtained to warrant his arrest, a depnty sheriff was dispatched to the Nation in pursuit of him last Thursday. The capture was effected yesterday at Chou teau, in the Indian Territory, the arrest being made through one of the Indian policemen. Shockley was brought here this morning and lodged in jail. He asserts his innocence, but has very little to say. He will endeavor to prove an alibi. Evidence against him is purely cir cumstantial. EIGHTEEN PRISONERS ESCAPE. Wholesale Jail Delivery In tbe Night at New Castle. Del. rSFECTAL TELEGRAM TO TUB DISPATCH.! Wilmington, Del., October 20. Eighteen prisoners escaped from the New Castle jail between the hours of 9 o'clock last evening and 6 o'clock this morning. The men, who were all confined in the large cell, made their exit by going down the opening to the sewer, crawling under the- floor to the northeast wall, and then digging a hole about three feet in cirenmference under the wall, the bottom of which is only three feet below the surface, and out into the school green, an open field.. Escape then was very easy, as Wilming ton is only five miles distant. None of them have yet been captured. THE! KNOW WHERE HE IS. An Express Agent Mysteriously Disappear la New'York.

A disas trous explosion occurred yesterday in a coal mine at Bryant Switch, 50 miles south of here, in. the Choctaw Nation. A.miner's lamp came in contact with a keg of powder. The explosion of the powder caused an ex plosion of coal dust, which set the mine on fire. . Sixteen men were in the mice, the shaft of which is 500 feet deep. The work of rescuing the unfortunates was completed at about dark last evening. All of them were taken ont more or less injured. A few were horribly burned and at last accounts were not expected to recover. . TYPHOID PETER EPIDEMIC.

There is scarcely a city, town or village in the Upper Peninsula where there is not an un usually large amount of typhoid fever, and in many places the disease is epidemic. At Ironwood there have been as high as six deaths in one day, while at Negaunee there are over 160 cases -and many deaths daily.

An Almost Complete BteoTcry from the 111 Fortunes of the War. A Mississippi correspondent finds that Cotton U King qnite as truly as before the war.though the kingdom is not so tyrannical now as then. There is sufficient profit in its cultivation to attract Northern capital in large lumps. Strangely enough, the cot ton planter neglects to raise much of any thing else, but buys melons and other vegetables of merchants. I CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DISPATCH. ! Meridian, Miss., October 18. The days when tbe South shouted "Cotton is King, and the North his subject," have passed, and in their stead have come days when the North and the South unite in a common interest and pay homage to cotton and its kingdom. This New South is every day receiving more attention from Yankee capi talists. Vast as the realm of cotton may appear at present, it is but the hint of what the futnre will develop. It is estimated that hardly 5 per cent of the cotton area is n6w devoted to cotton. The growth of manufacture in the South, too, is sympathetic, and Northern capitalists have found no investment so successful in the Sonth as that put into cotton factories. As yet our home consumption amounts to so much that only a small margin is left for export. The immense population of warm foreign conntries will demand all our surplus cottons just so soon as we can deliver them upon competing terms with English mills. The "fortunes of war" worked disastrous changes in Cotton's realm; the lack of cap ital lor so many years retarded the growth of manufactures, but the millions being in vested now by powerful corporations show how soon confidence has been won. PHENOMENAL GBOWTH OF WEALTH. The growth ot wealth is positively phe nomenal, tne cotton crop alone pouring annually into the country $160,000,000. As yet land can be purchased low, laborers are abundant, water power cheap, and the day not far distant when the Southern pride will realize its ambition,. "that the manu facturer of the crop, as well as the crop it sell, shall be a monopoly of the cotton belt." The whole question of cotton has been, until recently, covered in its use as a manu factured article for clothing; but, by expert authority, it is stated that "if the cotton plant could be grown at the North, yet without the lint, it would have been made, long ere this, one of the most profitable of crops. The seed itself adds heavily to the valneof the plant, Thousands of barrels of seed oil are exported to Europe annually, which come back to us.refined and flavored, "pure olive oil." and we use it without sus pecting the difference. No better proof of thesnecessof the cotton industry is needed than in the way English companies have invested. The Englishman is cautious as well as enterprising, and when he sees a guarantee for security he invests heavily. All through the South corpora tions with Northern capital are established, which loan money on farm lands, the per centage in many rases being terrible; bnt even wltn tnis tne oontn is esiaoiismng a good system of credit. A LONG LIFE OF CREDIT. Cotton is the money crop of tbe Southern ?lanter, and his life is one of long credit, he farmer, unless he has been' transported from the enterprising land of Yankeedom, relies almost entirely upon the merchant for everything he eats. Melons and vege tables will grow by simply "tickling the soil," yet the Southern farmer does not seem to'have the nerve or enterprise enough to grow such supplies, and buys butter, meal and vegetables from the town or city markets. There are just three classes in the South the "gentleman born," the "plain people" and the neero. The ignorant, superstitious poor are known as the "Cracker" in the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida, and in Mississippi the "political bulldozer." Thev are, in many instances, tenants- on small patches of land, paying a heavy rental, while tbey live on almost nothing corn bread and corn whisky hunt, swap oxen and loaf around; while the "weemen folks" do the farmwork. We find the old planta tions of hundreds of acres now divided into small farms, worked on the tenant system, and the question for the New South is yet to be settled, "whether we shall have a Peasantry like that of France or a tenantry ke that of Ireland." Cotton, like every other staple, has its enemies, and the boll worm is perhaps the worst. The worms pass over the field as. a conflagration, sometimes destroying an en tire crop in a few days. Then it is that the whole cotton world is excited, and telegrams pass under the sea. Manufacturers and shipowners ore advised, while in the mean time THE INSIDIOUS ,WEETCH, like Shakespeare's worm i' the bnd, feeds upon the interior of the cotton boll, and "corners" and "trusts" become a mania; but tbe danger passes, and still Cotton is King, while hundreds of speculators have made and lost The picking season has just passed, when the true value of the American citizen of African descent, and his industrial affinity, the mule, become conspicuously apparent. No degree of heat affects either. The merry neero melodies that are wafted across the cotton fields convince us that the negro, at least, is not "saddest when he sings," but make us realize plainly that the negro was made for the South. The glory of sending to market the first bale ot cotton is sought by every large planter. And now, something more of King Cotton. It is a Southern paper, certainly, that sug gests the cotton flower for the national em blem, and says: Is there any other flower of the country Bat Mother.tmcel hare been jiringWoWiAen Blacking my shoes wear looser than ever bofomnna Inererget my fee wet. bnt I do not think thejlock ea Smooth as when I fixstosed it.

They Like Illuminating OH, and Always Forecast n Cnve-ln. , Scranton Correspondence tt. Y. Times. A miner, who is not easily frightened, told me the other day that he has oftn been scared by mine "rats. On one occasion he had a considerable distance to go and he had to pass through a portion of an old working. There he encountered about a dozen rats. They were large and fierce, and were not a bit startled by his presence. On the contrary, they soon Bhowed that they rather liked hs company.His oil was bnrning low in his lamp and smelled very strong, and it was evident that it had a great attraction" for the hungry rats. They followed close at his heels, and whenever he hastened his speed they did the same. His only hope was in keeping the tiny flame in his lamp glowing, and he felt that If it was extin guished by any mishap they would attack him at once. It was with unspeakable re lief that he reached his destination before the last faint flicker of his lamp died out. - The drippings of the oil cans from which the miners supply their lamps have a great fascination for the rats, and sometimes they lose their lives for it The same miner who had the adventure just narrated told the writer that only a few months ago a two gallon oil can became so literally jammed with dead rats that it was with considerable difficulty they could be palled out. The cover had been left off, and in their eager ness to get at the oil the rats forced them selves one tfy one through the narrow neck of the can, from which they vrere afterward linahle tn PTtrirafp tfcnmaAlvo Qa.a times the wily rat will help himself "by in serting his long tail into the oil can and saturating it with the contents. This opera tion, oft repeated, will soon result in as empty can and a very happy rat. The first great fall of roof that ever oc curred in this region was at Carbondale about 35 or 40 years ago. The entire side of the mountain fell in and several lives were lost Several days before the disaster the people of the neighborhood were aston ished to see swarms of rats leaving the mine. This fact was recalled after the great disaster occurred, and the rats were credited with extraordinary foresight No doubt they felt the first movements of tbe col lapsing rocks, and were driven forth in fear HAD LOIS OF EXPERIENCE.
