TFrECIAL TEl.r GRAMS TO Till DISPATCH.!
JIorgantowx, W. Va., July 23. The
West Virginia Agricultural Experiment
'Station at this place has just issued a bulle
tin in report on the black spruce forests of
the State. These forests exceed 600,000
acres, and cover 800 square mile of terri
tory. The document deals especially Troth
the terrible destruction of late inflicted by
injects. The report 6tates that the first in
dications the entymologist, Prof. A. D.
Hopkins, noticed of the ravages were in
Randolph county. A special trip was made
to that county twice for the purpose of in
vestigating the queer disease that was kill
ing thousands of trees on the Cheat Moun
tains. In Tucker county, also, great numbers of
the dead spruce were noticed, but the
tpectacle presented by the formerly mag
nificent fcides of the Cheat Mountains was
something remarkable. Thousands upon
thousands acres of 'what was once valuable
and handsome timber now stand a dry,
withered and dreary waste. Somo 75,C00
acres of this land v ere leased to the Cheat
Mountain Sportsmen's Club, and tho decay
lias sot in right in the midst of their reserva
tion. One of the dead trees, at a height of
4,310 feet above the sea, w as at once attacked
v ith a. hatchet, and the first stroke that laid
the bark open showed distinct traces of
insect life. The insects were found to be the
destructive scolytidie, bark and timber
beetles, which are known to have causod
t-uch great destruction to the timber of
Franco, Germany and Canada, and which
are now thought to ha e laid so many thou
sands acres waste here.
Years a;o this dark, dismal section was
named "Miades of Death," and to-day its ap
pearance makes the name yem prophetic
A small trce.about eight inches in diameter,
not quite dead, was next carefully examined,
when hundred of insects, weie found to
liave mined through the bark from every
t-ide and into the wood, thus checking the
How of sap and ultimately killing the tree.
1 his had been going on for the past three
years, but had lately waned, and trees in
tome places ncemed to be recovering their
original health.
Tho entomologist was amazed to unex
pectedly llnd the cause of the stoppage of
the ucct' work of destruction in the very
firt young tree encountered. Hundreds of
ruiall glials were noticed hovering over tho
trees attacked, and these very same gnats
were found in tho mines in the bark made
l the borer-,. The gnats were proving on
the borers, and undoubtedly this wise pro
i i-ion of nature in increasing tho number of
gnats will delay, if not entirely stop, tho
killing of the biiruce. Thee gnats, or para
sites of tho scolytida), were captured in
great numbers and are being carefullv pro
rogated. Mr. Hopkins stating that there is
no doubt they can be successfully propo
gated and intioduccd into infected districts.
The value of the dead trees is estimated at
tho very lowest ns $1,500,000, and every effort
will be made, both by natural and artificial
means, to pi-event the spread of the disease.
WIND, BAIN AHD HEAT.
Heavy Storms Reported From Many Towns
In the Three Mates.
Mansfield Valley, July 23. A peculiarly
violent tornado of a limited kind, yesterday
afternoon, struck the half mile of territory
between Hills and Hastings stations on the
Chartiers Valley railroad, six miles north or
liere. Largo trees and telegraph poles were
torn down, and many head of stock are re
ported killed. Orchards were leveled, and
the loss to small buildings and grains was
juite extensive. All telegraphic communi
cation was cut off for hours and travel de
layed. At Butler a dazzling electric storm, ao
conijiaiiied by the heaviest rain of the sea
ton, deluged the streets. One dwelling was
struck by lightning, and damage was done
to crops in the vicinity. At McKeesnort, iu
spite of showers, the heat was so intense
that mills were obliged to shut down, and a
number of prostrations were reported,
fcimilar reports of heat and rain storms
come from nearly all Ohio towns. At Wells
ville small buildings were blown down and
tho telegraph and telephone systems laid
out. Tho town is in darkness to-night,
PENNSYLVANIA EXTENSIONS.
A Loop I.ine in Frospect, Connecting Mc
Keesport Illi Jeannette.
McJvEESroBT, July 23. It is tho general
opinion here that the Pennsylvania road
entertains the idea of following the Yongh
iogheny river w ith its JIcKeesport line to a
point up Long Hun, from which place it will
continue with two branches one to go up
the river and connect with the Sewickley
branch, and tho other to cross the country
to Jeannette. thus forming a loop from the
main line at Brinton.
At present the lino has been laid as far as
the Wood plant, whence it will run to the
Youghiogheny and up through "No Man's
Land." w Inch seems to be ownerless. It is
also geneiallv believed that the Pennsylva
nuiwill cross the Baltimore and Ohio and
Lake Erie by an overhead route.
FITTSBTJBG ELECTBIC LIGHT.

Wbeeliko, W. Va., July 23. Tho Wheeling
Electric Light Commission have returned
fiom their 4,300 miles jaunt over the country
on a tour of mbpection of every large city
that boasts of a complete electric light
plant. The committee report that they are
now- in posses-ion of information that will
enable them to purchase an electric light
plant for the cty with their eyes open.
Their first stop, at the East End plant in
Pittsburg, was rather unprofitable, as at
that tune they knew nothing of what they
saw. Now, that thevhavo had the experi
ence, they remember that the Pittsburg
plant was one of the smoothest-running and
efficient that they had seen.

SUPPRESSED NEWS OP WAB.
The Taqul Indians Keeping TJp Their
Savage Fight In Old Mexico.
Chicago, July 23. Unknown to the out
side world a bloody war is raging in the
mountains of Mexico. Such is the state
ment of Liberato and Toranato Marcor,
young Jlexican engineers who are in Chi
cago. Hews of the conflict has hitherto
been suppressed, it is said, because of its
possible bad effects on intended immigra
tion. It has generally been supposed that
with the death of the leader of the Yaqui
Indians, King Cajeme, the Indian wars in
Old Mexico had ceased. Such is by no
means the case. Thousands of them are
strongly intrenched in the impassable
mountains of Northwestern Mexico,
and the troops which are stationed at all
the towns along the Yaqui river are power
less to reach them, or to protect the lives
and property of the citizens.
In bands of SO or more the Yaquis daily
make unexpected descents upon the help
less people of the plain. Fierce battles
with the troops follow, but before the latter
can accomplish anything the savages escape
to their mountain hiding places with re
newed supplies of food and ammunition,
generally carrying with tnem, too, a num
ber of helpless women whose fate is never
known. This state of affairs is said to be
daily growing more alarming.
PABMEBS COBNEBING THE MABKET.
The Alliance Movement to Hold Wheat for
Better Prices in Progress.
Washington, July 23. E. "W. Ayer,
Secretary to President Polk of the Farmers'
Alliance, and manager in this city of the
"Reform Press Bureau," said this afternoon
that the work of sending out circulars de
signed to show the farmers of the country
that it was to their advantage to hold back
the wheat crop, was actively proceeding in
this city, as well as in St. Paul, which was
chosen as one of the seats of operation.
He remarked that he could not say that
it was the circular which had brought about
the result, but he had noticed in a recent
market report that the actual movement of
wheat was 140 carloads less than had been es
timated. Mr. Ayer said that the informa
tion that the issue of such a circular by
Alliance men was in contemplation became
public prematurely about two weeks ago.
A final decision to issue the circular had not
at that time been reached, but it had since
been finally determined upon.
AN EXCUBSI0N OF DTJPED NEGB0ES.
The Victims Taken Half Way, Then Mulcted
for the Rest of the Trip.
St. Louis, July 23. A Southern express
car at the Union station is the present
abiding place of an odd assortment of white
and colored excursionists from Birmingham,
Ala., who are packed in the car like sardines
in a box. The excursion originally num
bered about 400 people, who paid S10 and 55
for tickets to Chicago and St. Louis and re
turn. The "excursion" was engineered by a
white man named Packett and the notorious
"Doc" Kennedys negro, who originated the
financial hoax.
When the party got to West Point, Miss.,
?G00 additional was required to continue
the trip, and 3 ahead more tor those intend
ing to go on to Chicago when the party
reached St Louis About this time the
mental eyes of the majority of the dupes
were unsealed, and they refused to pay.
A few, however, paid the required $3 and
started for Chicago The excursionists were
promised work in Chicago and St. Louis at
large wages.
TENNESSEE DBOVEBS ANGBY.
Tho Quarantine Regulations of Secretary
Rusk Excite Their Ire.
UASimtLE, July 23. Tennessee cattle
dealers and growers are very much incensed
over tho recent order of Secretary Busk,
establishing quarantine regulations against
Tennessee cattle except for immediate
slaughter, and declaring to the world that a
contagious and infectious disease known as
splenetic fever exists in this and other
Southern States. The statement, so far as
it relates to Tennessee, is untrue, and, it is
feared, will have the effect of destroying the
cattle industry of the State if not modified.
The Secretary also announces that all the
Southern States are infected with Texas
fever, and forbids any railroad carrying
cattle from that district into Korthem
States, except for immediate slaughter,
from the 15th of Februaryto the 1st of De
cember. The carrying of cattle is
claimed to be surrounded by such vexatious
quarantine regulations as to effectually kill
the trade.

bte, July 23. The highly sensational
trial of Rev. H. E. Sutherland, the Hazel

guilty.
The testimony to-day showed that he had

LIFE OP THE ANCIENT CHATJTAUQUANS
rsPECIAli TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Chautauqua July, 23 A heavy thunder
storm this afternoon cut short the sultry
weather of the past few days. A large dele
gation of New York and Pennsylvania rail
road superintendents arrived hero at noon
from Buffalo, and were entertained in tho
Amphitheater by muslo and reoitations.
There has been the largest attendance du
ring the month of July ever known in the
history of the assembly. New cottages,
which will accommodate at least one thou
sand people, have been built since the close
of the last assembly.
Tho older cottages do not seem to suffer
nny falling off in consequence of the build
ing of so many new ones, as was feared by
some might be tho case. It does not seem
possible for Chautauqua to grow too rapidly
for the people who wish to come here. The
Amphitheater has been repeatedly filled,,
which is altogether unusual in July.
Programme of the Bay.
This was the programme to-day: Woman's
Club, "Conference" to the temple, led by
Mrs. Emily Huntington Miller, lecture, "The
Chautauqua Country in History," by Prof.
F. N. Thorpe, of Philadelphia; lecture, "The
Old Testament From an Assyrian Point of
View," Prof. W. B. Harper; conference,
"Bible Helps," Profs. Horswell and Weid
nen pronunciation match, conduoted by
Prof. B. L. Cumnock, of the Northwestern
University, in the Ampnitnenier.
Melville Newer, the Librarian of tho New
York State Library, who was to have lec
tured to-day, has been ordered abroad by
his physician, and has been forced to post
pone his visit to Chautauqua to another
season. A letter from Mr. II. W. Raymond,
Secretary Tracy's Private Secretary at
Washington, Just received, announces his
serious illness and Inability to meet his en
gagement here next week. An attempt wiu
be made to have his views of the navy ex
hibited on one ot the evenings, so that Chau
tauqua can have some idea of what Uncle
Sam's vessels look like. Next Saturday
afternoon the political equality clubs will
meet at Chautauqua to bear the address of
Mrs. Zorelda Wallaoe, mother or General
Lew Wallace Tho Rev. Anna II. Shaw and
Miss Susan B. Anthony will also be present
and make short speeches on the genoral
theme of the afternoon.

Mrs. Emma Ewing delighted a large aud
ience to-day by showing them how to- do
scientific broiling in three different ways,
suiting the action to the word, in the shape
of broiled flsh, beefsteak, chicken, etc., be
fore the eyes and nose of ner hearers in such
a delicious -w ay that one Southern lady cried
out that Mrs. Ewing would spoil the whole
class for ordinary cooking by preparing
such savory dUhcs.
"I wish I could spoil everybody then," re
plied Mrs. Ewing, "for nothing will bring
around the millennium quicker than tho
proper preparation of food," And every
body there wished tho millennium were at
hand jf it brought such tempting viands as
Mrs. Ewing can prepare.
Quite an Interesting Lecture.
Dr. Francis Thorpe's lecture, bearing on
Chautauqua history, was intensely interest
ing. For ten years Prof. Thorpe has been
investigating the historical interests of the
Chautauqua country the" fertile triangle
comprising the country, Buffalo and Cleve
land, Cleveland to Pittsburg, and Pittsburg
and Buffalo early letters and newspapers;
the conversations of aged persons; and the 1
historical wealth of the Buffalo Historical So
ciety. The forester papers of the Pittsburg
archives have been carefully consulted.
Tho lecturer covered the period of the
Chautauqua country on the eve of the sec
ond war with England, and chiefly described
the social and political life in Western Xow
York, centering in Buffalo.
Tha manners, customs and social life pre
vailing in the Chautauqua country at the
pcriodof the war of 1S12 were shown, and
the westward movement of Xow England
ideas and their modifications under the con
ditions of pioneer life illustrated. Tho early
settlers in the Chautauqua country were
chiefly from Xew England, Eastern Xew
York and Central Pennsylvania, and at tho
present day there can be discovered through
out that country from Buffalo to Cleveland
and from Erie to Pittsburg their religious
opinion, political ideas, social conditions,
styles of architecture, systems of agricult
ure, local names, peculiar idioms of speech,
traditions and customs, directly traceable to
the early institutions of the country.
The Manners of the People.
The lecturer traced these conditions and
their effects through the last 90 years in the
history of the Chautauqua country and
dw elt particularly upon the early religious
life of the community, the institution of the
campmcctings, the curious land speculations
preceding tho building of the Erie canal;
the early Dutch maimers and customs; tho
modification of Xew England federalism in
Xew York; the economic condition of the
time, labor, wages, handmanufacture.prices,
stores; tho books that were read and the
people who read them; styles of dress; tho
crimes and misdemeanors peculiar to the
times; the early newspapers; the lotteries
for tho benefit of medical schools, of
churches, of bridges and of roads; the evi
dence of social excitement at the approach
of the war; the politics at Washington and
at Buffalo, and especially tho effect on the
whole Chautauqua country of Jeffeison's
embargo, and the social and political isola
tion ot tho Chautauqua country from the
eastern part of tho United States.
Dr. Harper, in his lecture, said that the
Assyrian material furnishes direct and indi
rect testimony to the Divine origin of the
Scriptures in the form of actual confirma
tion of what the Scriptures affirm by expla
nations and illustrations, furnished from a
study of the monuments.
