Boise, Ida., July 13. Governor "Willey
has issued a proclamation placing Shoshone
county under martial law. "Word has been
received that three companies of Federal
troops from 3Iissoula have arrived at Mul
lan. The other troops have not been heard
from. Adjutant General Curtis, who is in
command for the State, and who went to
Cour d'Alene in advance of the outbreak,
has not been heard from to-day, and it is
feared he has fallen into the hands ol the
strikers.
A dispatch to the Governor from Judge
Heybnrn, at Spokane, says the union men
drove 132 non-union miners out ycterday,
firing upon them and killing two. Super
intendent Dickinson, of the Xorth Pacific,
telegraphed the Governor from Tncoma
tViic frnnnn thai, ilipir trnpfca nm? hridTp;
have been destroyed in the vicinity of Mul- ually threatened bv th
Ian and "Wallace, and that tho uires have
been cut.
Another message to the Governor says
that several non-union men have been
blown up, and that the union men propose
to fight the troops to the death. The Union
Pacific officials have just received advices
from Cour d'Alene that the 2forth Pacific
Railroad bridge, together with several hun
dred Jeet of track, were blon n tip by strik
ers west of Mullan this morning.
Strikers Threaten to lllow Cp Min.
The company is preparing to take all
non-union men out of the mines this after
noon to Tekoa. The union men assert that
the moment the troops appear on the scene
they ttillldow up the Bunker Hill and Sul
livan, Sierra Xevada and Gem mines. Tiie
burning of the bridge near Mullan will hold
the troops there unless they march to "Wal
lace and AVardner, which is about ten miles.
It is now reported that union men have
taken Van Delashuutt, of Portland, "Will
iam Sweney and other mine on ners, and
will hold them as hostages until the trouble
is settled. The wires are in bad shape, and
it is almost impossible to get any informa
tion from Wallace. The wires to "Wardner
have been cut.
A dispatch lroni "Wallace says: The
colored troops bound for the seat of the
miners war reached a point two miles iet
of .Mullan, when they iere ordered back to
.Missoula. Several bridges were burned
west of Mullan to prevent the troops from
crossing. All is quiet at AVallace this after
noon, and no trouble is probable at present.
It is feared if the troops come to Wallace
every mine of the Association members will
hs blown up. Efforts are now being made
to hold all troops at Mullan to aoid dis
aster.
Every Minn Chared 'With Dynamite.
All mills of the mines where non-union
labor has been employed have been charged
v,th magazit and fuse attached since yes
terday. At a signal, it is said, all will' be
blown up. This, however, it is said will be
done only in the event of the troops arriv
ing on the scene.
Consternation prevails. A bridge was
blown up to-day at Mnllan, and no trains
are running between Wallace and Mullan.
The Bunker Hill and Sullivan were to sur
render at 3 o'clock this afternoon If not
surrendered at that time a battle was ex
pected to begin. If surrendered the troops
would be allowed to come in and take pos
session of the Cour d'Alene country.
A special train over the Union Pacific
left Portland, Ore., to-day at 9.30 a. St.,
bearing 200 troops of the Fourteenth In
fantry lrom "Vancouver, Wash., for tne
Conr d'Alene mines. A special train over
the Union Pacific arrived at Pendleton this
morning, bearing troops from Idaho. Two
companies have left Fort Sherman for the
scene of the trouble. In all about 700
United States troops and militia are on the
way to the mines, and were to arrive there
this afternoon and to-night.
Troops nave th Striken Penned Up.
The strikers will have trouble if they
diow up me miues uuu pian to escape, as
State and Federal troops now hold practi
cally all passages of egress from that re
gion. The union menand owners of Bunker Hill
and Sullivan mines met to-night. Presi
dent O'Brien, of the union, gave his ulti
matum to the mine owners as follows: "All
non-union men must leave the State at
once, or the mine will be blown up and an
attack on non-union miners commenced."
The mine owners, to gain time, aereed to
discharge all non-union men within 48
hours.
A dispatch from "Wardner says: Out
wardlyhere yesterday all was the quiet of
determination and desperation. The strik
ers had a day of uninterrupted victory.
They had onlt to demand and receive, and
as a'result they are now in complete pos
session of theminesand millsof the Bunker
Hill and Sullivan and Sierra Nevada Min
ing Companies.
The non-union men have been driven out
of the country, and the men rendered des
perate by the long strike and flushed with
victory, are talking confidently of meeting
the militia and regular troops "and fighting
them with rifle and dynamite.
Forced to Discharge Non-Union Men.
All yesterday bodies of armed men
gathered on the hills and in the canons sur
rounding Wardner. They came down from
Wallace on flat cars and hand cars and
helped themselves to whatever they needed
in the wav of transportation.
They began the day's programme by
marching, several hundred strong-, upon the
property of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan,
threatening Superintendent "V. M. Clement
with the destruction of the entire property
unless he surrendered the works, discharg
ed his non-union men and allowed them
their own way. Mr. Clement had no alter
native. The mill is loaded with dynamite
and can be destroyed upon a minute's
notice. The strikers then turned their at
tention to the property of the Sierra
Nevada, with like resnlts.
Armed men liar cleft town, it is supposed,
to intercept the cavaliy sent from Fort
Sherman. The excitement here is intense.
3Ianv exasperated stories arc being cir
culated, it is thought for the purpose of
terrorizing the cit;ns and concealing Hie
real movement of the strikers.
Governor Willey will place Shoshone
county under martial law as soon as the
i.t'1 rcaulreraents can be completed, the
proper oficials having failed so far to give
the Governor the notice required by the
constitution.
very shortly. The long-talked-of scheme
of securing direct connection with Jfew
York seems now about to be realized. A
line is to bo constructed from Woodstock to
Niagara Falls, and agents of the road arc
now purchasing the right of way between
"Welland, Ont, and Woodstock.
Arranuenienls are near completion for ob
taining of a right o! way over one of the
American railways from Suspension bridge
to New York and other Eastern points.

Washington, July la Messrs. John
Jarrett, William C. Cronemyer and Wil
liam Bonnclil, representing the American
Tin Plate Manufncttars' Association, are
in the city. They came for the purpose of
setting aright the Senate Finance Com
mittee on the question of the Shivcly tin
plate bill recently passed br the House.
This bill provides that on and after October
1 of this year tin plate shall be admitted
to the ports of this country at a duty of IK
cents a pound, and after October 1, '94, be
admitted free of duty.
Mr. Jarrett thinks it impossible that tho
Senate Finance Committee can consider
this bill before the adjournment of Congress
at least, that ii cannot be reported to the
Senate and passed by that body before that
time.
"We want to give the Senate Finance
Committee full opportunity to understand
the situation," said Mr. Jarrett lhiseening.
"Many of the statements rancte by the mem
bers of the Democratic party in the House
are too absurd to go unnoticed. For in
stance, Mr. Bunting, of New York, said we
had claimed that local tin plate factories
could supply the consumption of the United
States within nine mouths after the passage
of the McKinley bill. We never claimed
anything of the kind. It takes years to es
tablish an enormous industry of this character.
"The tin plate industry, however, is in
the most flourishing condition, when you
consider that its existence is beinc contin-
p Democratic nartv.

SrEiNGKiEij, O., July 13. The most
destructive tornado which ever visited this
section of the country struck the southeast
ern portion of the city, the resident section,
this morning at 11 o'clock, and completely
demolished about 30 dwellings and partly
ruined over 100 more. But two persons are
possibly fatally injured, but the loss in
property is appalling, a conservative esti
mate placing the loss at between $150,000
and 5200,000.
The tornado was a mile long from east
to west, and three blocks wide. It first
struck the fair grounds in the western part
of the city, hurled itself along in a south
easterly direction, taking a house here and
there, until it struck the corner of South
Limestone street and Euclid avenue, three
quarters of a mile away, where the destruc
tive monster came to the ground and liter
ally demolished an entire block, all resi
dences.
It then lifted and passed over tho city in
a northeasterly directiou, hurling down a
house here and there. The scene of the
greatest destruction, the block immediately
east of South Limestone street, is appalling.
Scarcely a dozen houses are left standing.
Everything is utter, hopeless ruin. A mass
of debris, lumber, trees and furniture is
piled up for a square in most awtul con
fusion. Terrified spectators who witnessed the ap
proach of the tornado, say it n as preceded

Philadelphia Times.
The experience of a professional beauty,
Mrs. Langtry, in regard to black gowns, "is
worth recording. The first season that the
Jersey Lily spent in London found her the
possessor of one evening gown, and that a
very simple black. Immediately after her
picture appeared she became the rage, and
duchesses themselves did not hesitate to
stand on chairs to get a glimpse of her as she
passed. Everywhere she wore the black
gown. One night it was turned in so that
her beautiful throat showed; another night
it was drawn up close to her neck and a
bunch of white lilies against it brought out
its blackness and her fairness. It was
mended, it was pressed, but at reception or
ball all that season the beautiful woman
wore the black gown. Later on, when even
ing dresses were very ordianry things to
her, she said most positively: "Kever tell
me that a woman can't dress well who has a
single iroce. I know that she can not only
look well, but always be distinguished;
and I know it through the best teacher of
all experience."
And so it is that the black evening gown
is commended, not only to the woman who
has a great deal of money, but to her who,
though she may be bent on pleasure, yet
has a frugal mind.

sent to Piobate Judge Miller to obtain a
license to marry Nora Butman, a daughter
of his neighbor, James Butman. His uncle

go home with him. He came to this city
and miide affidavit that hi" daugeter is only

A remarkable case of ossification of the
bones has been brought to public notice as
the result of the last meeting of the Medico
Chirurgical Society, at Dr. Turner Ander

Miss Emma Schambach, aged 17, the
daughter of John 3?. Shambach, a black
smith, living at 914 East Market street, is
the victim of a mysterious malady, which
since it has been known to physicians has
caused great interest. She has been attended
by Dr. App Morgan Vance, and skillful as
he and the other physicians and surgeons are,
nothing can be clone to relieve her. The
affliction is the disease known as "myosotis

affected in the neck, arms, sides and lower
limbs. On the right side of her neck a
bony formation under the skin makes the
movement of that part of her body difficult.
Her right arm is immovable at the elbow
with the forearm at right angles w 1th the
upper portion. The leit arm is barely mov

Committed for the 1M order of
Thomas Conners.
Coroner McDowell deputized 'Squire
Miles Bryan yesterday to hold an inquest
into the death of Thomas Conners, the 17-year-old
boy who was cut by "William
Hughes at Chartier's on Tuesday night,
during a quarrel. The inquest was held at
McKee's Kocks. Dr. G. "W. Beam testified
to attending Conners at the car station,
where he had been taken, and to binding a
cut on his breast an inch long just above
the heart. It was necessarily fatal.
Other witnesses were called and they re
cited they story of the murder as was
given in yesterday morning's Dispatch.
The jury found that Conners' death was
caused by Hughes' stab, and 'Squire Bryan
committed the boy to jail on a charge of
murder.

There were two Gordon sand wells devel
oped in the McDonald field yesterday.
They both belong to the Wheeling Gas
Company, and are located about a milo
west of south from McDonald station.
Their No. 3 on the Gladden farm is
through the Gordon", and is good for 170
barrels a day as it stands at present, but
they expect to be able to bring inip to at
least a couple of hundred a day.
The same company's No. 3 on the Gladden
farm was being drilled into the Gordon
yesterday afternoon. It made one flow
when two bits in, and was filling up rap
idly when last heard from. Down near
Venice the "Wheeling expects to reach the
gas sand this week in Patterson No. L In
this section of the field the strongest gas
is found in the GO-foot formation.
One dry hole was also developed by the
drill in the McDonald region yesterday. It
is Stewart & Co.'s No. 1 on the Kobb larm,
and is located in the vicinity of the old
"Wetmore wells, which produced thousands
of barrels of oil not many months ago. They
are about two miles north and west of Oak-
dale.
J. M. Guffey & Co.'s No. 2, on the J. C.
McMichacl farm, in the southwest end of
the McCurdy pool, was drilled through the
Gordon sand yesterday and is absolutely
barren of oil in that rock. It is now being
drilled to the fifth, which they expect to
reach in a day or two. The fact that it is dry
in the Gordon is not disappointing, as none
of the wells drilled in the locality have been
payintr producers lrom the third sand
formation.
Will Bench the Ffth To-Day.
Greenlee & JTorst's orchard well, on tho
McLean lot, located less than a quarter of a
mile southwest of Oakdale.wos on top of the
fifth sand last evening and its capacity as a
producer from that stratum will be known
to a certainty this morning. It is south
about 200 feet lrom a fair producer, and the
owners expect a nice well when it is drilled
in. Greenlee & Forst's "Wade No. 7 is
down 1,000 feet. Their well on
the Noble heirs' farm, located
800 feet southwest of Eitzgibbons
&Co.s "Walke'rNo. 3 is due in the filth
early next week. Their No. 6, on the Mar

their No. 2 Kirk, in the Meise district, are
both due next week.
Jennings, Guffey & Co.'s Na 7 Herron
will reach the fifth sand within the next ten
davs.
J. M. Guffey & Co.'s No. 2 on the Shane
farm, located southwest of the old Meise
about three-fourths of a mile, is down 1,700
leet, and is expected to be in the list of big
wells reported within the next eight days.
J. M. Guffey & Co. have two wells drill
ing on the Clark farm in the region of the
"Wetmore wells. Each of the Clark wells is
down 1,100 feet.
The Forest Oil Company's Na 1, on the
Robert "Wallace farm, east of the Meise,
was on top of the Gordon yesterday after
noon, and they expect to get it drilled in
to-day. This is one of the most important
wells now drilling in that locality.
The Woodland Oil Company's Na 2, on
the Crawford farm, two miles southwest of
McDonald station, which surprised the
trade Tuesday by showing up CO barrels
and hour from the fifth sand, was reported
to be maKing w an hour yesterday.
The estimated production of the field did
not change yesterday and is still reported at
21,000 barrels.
Alone the Ohio River.
CORAOPOLIS The Forest Oil Company
has just finished a rig oyer the old hole on
the Hog bar. The rie at this well was
burned June 28, 1891, and two men were
badly injured by the flames. They will
clean out the hole and try to make it pro
duce more oil than it has been doing. The
same company is putting the last casing in
its No. 2 Erhart, and its No. 4 Carry is
aown wv leet.
There were no new wells reported in at
Sistersville vesterday. The reports irora
the old wells are very conflicting, and
every man who visits a well has a different
story to tell from that told by every other
visitor when he comes away. The conse
quence is that the estimate of a well must
be made from an average struck from a
comparison of the various accounts given by
those who have seen it. There is a great
deal of new work being started in the field,
and there are a number of wells which
should be finished up before the middle of
next week.

issue before the people military rule in the
South, sectionalism and a force bill. "Until
this is slopped I see no hope of any general
legislation in the interests of the people."
Mr. Pierce, of Tennessee, who has been
one of the most active workers in behalf of
the silver bill, said he was not surprised nt
the result of the vote. It settled the sub
ject of silver legislation for this session.
Its political effect would be to serionsly
damage the Democratic prospects in the
South. The bill was defeated Mr. Pierce
declared, by men who had previously voted
for the Bland Sill and who had since
changed their position.
W ou'dn't Strengthen Hnrrl-on.
Representative McMillin, of Tennessee,
said: "The bill would probably have
passed at the next session of Congress. The
indisposition to allow Mr. Harrison an
opportunity to strengthen himself by veto
ing it influenced some members."
Representative Tracey said: "I regard
it as very fortunate to have the matter set
tled for tho session, leaving the Democratic
party free to meet the question of tariff re
form and the issue on the force bill."
Representative Watson, of Georgia, the
leader of the Alliance party in 'the House,
after calling attention tothe fact that the
ten Alliance men were willing to support
anything necessary to ootain free silver
legislation, said: "Now that the bill is
killed, there will no donbt be an immense
impetus to the People's party. It will be
utterly impossible for the Democrats to ex
plain to the country the defection that took
place in their ranks on this bill, and it will
be utterly impossible for the Democracy to
explain to the country why a Republican
Senate was able to pass a bill and a Demo
cratic House could not do it. In other
words, it will put a limit to the patience ot
the people, and will make an end of their
confidence in the promises that have been
made to them on the silver question."
Mora Apt to Hold Their Own.
Representative Breckinridge, of Ken
tucky, said he regarded the result oi the
contest as fortunate, as he said that he was
confident that it would result in the elec
tion of Mr. Cleveland as President and in
the retention of a number of members of
the House who would have otherwise lost
their seats.
Tho Republicans smiled broadly when
any reference to the silver fight was made.
They feel gratified that they were ab'e to
take such a large part in the defeat of the
bill, and are not backward in claiming the
jlory for the victory.
Representative Payne, of New York, one
of the leaders among the Republicans, said
this afternoon: "The Republicans simply
made up their minds to lilt tree silver the
first time it came up. There was no use of
further discussion of the subject, as the
members of the House had made up their
minds. The Republicans ought to get the
propercredit for the victory"

"Washington, July 13. In the Senate
the expressions concerning the defeat ot the
silver coinage bill were varied, the free
silver Republicans feeling evidently much.
chagrined, though they hardly expected the
bill would pass, owing to the great pressure
brought to bear against it, as they claim, by
the friends of President Harrison and of
ex-President Cleveland, both of whom, they
tiiink, urged the defeat of the measure. The
Democratic Senators were not surprised at
the vote against the bill, as few of them
were so sanguine as to expect its ultimate
passage at this session, and all seemed to
realize the utter hopelessness of attempting
to bring the bill up again tor consideration
this session.
The Republican silver Senators maintain
that the action of the House to-day does not
by any means mean the death of the bill
finally, Senator Stewart being particularly
sanguine that the measure will again be
brought to the front at the next session of
Congress, and even going so far as to say
that he thought if Congress was in session
two months longer the bill would pass both
Houses owing to the revolt of feeling. It is
quite certain, however, that the bill will
not, in any torm, come up in the Senate
again this session, as everybody is convinced
that it is now too late in the session to at
tempt any further silver legislation. Sena
tor Stewart, who led the fight of the silver
Republicans in the Senate, showed that he
felt no surprise at the vote by admitting

TheJBoard of Viewers' report on the grad
ing, paying nnd curbing of Center avenue,
one ofv the most extensive and costly im
provements ever made in the city, and the
one over which there was such a lively
fight when the viewers were making the as
sessments upon it, has been completed and
will be filed for the final approval of the
Court under the curative act on, the 27th
instant
it was oyer the assessments ou this im
provement that Senator Flinn was called as
a witness before the viewers and gave testi
mony regarding the cost of pavements,
which resulted in the passage of an
ordinance under which the city pays
contractors G per cent interest on the money
due them from the time a street contract 13
completed until the benefited property
owners pay. up to the city's officers or liens
haye been filed.
Cost Over a Quarter of a Million.
The total assessment for the improvement
is 5272,311 43. Tho rate per front foot
charged to property holders is J8 25 less a
fraction. The cost in detail is as follows:
Eighty thousand one hundred and fifty
eight cubic yards of grading, at 63 cents a
yard, 554,507 44; 23,105 square yards of
block stone paving, at 53 00 a yard," 583,394;
24,505 sqnare yards of asphalt paying. 585,
707 50; 29,408 lineal feet of curbing, at 85
cents a foot, 24,990 80; 2,357 square feet of
crossings, ut 95 cents a foot, 52,239 15; al
tering sewer drops, 51,352.
The Central Traction Company is assessed
520,253 GO for 5.G20 square yards of block
stone paving between their" tracks and one
foot on each side of the rails. Every property
fronting on Center avenue, from Soho
street to Highland avenue, is assessed, and
the report covers many pages of legal cap.
The largest individual assessment is that of
Mrs. Mary E. Schenley, the total being
510,191. There are a number of others run
ning well up in the thousands.
Troperty Owners "Will Resist
"When the report is filed in court there is
no doubt but that some of the assessed
owners of property will file exceptions and
make a fight on it They have been talking
of it since before the curative act was
passed. The basis of their objection is that
the cost of the work is excessive. They
argue that for the kind of soft earth grad
ing, except nt one place, where a small
cut had to be made through a vein of
stone, the schedule price of 68 cents a cubio
yard is far too high. As to paving, they
say tne same contractors who paved Center
avenue and charged 53 50 for asphalt paving
are now taking contracts for the same class
of work at 52 50 and 52 GO a yard. The
difference, they say, between the former and
the present price is out of proportion to the
advantage gained by contractors from the
new law allowing them 6 per cent interest,
and cannot be accounted for in that way.
It is not likely that any question of the
validity of the street act will be raised, but
there are several objections applying to in
dividual properties where the work of the
viewers will be attacked. "With the ex
ception ot two small sewer reports, this is
the last improvement under the curative
act which is to be filed in court

the country. But Mr. Murdock's explanations, of
the fortunate turn of bis affairs is of general Inter
est. He says:
"I am a well man, comparatively speaking, and
yet I am positive tbat If I had not used Falne's
Celery Compound. I shsuld have been under the
sod months ago. My case wasoneof nervous pros
tration of years' standing. I tried many things,
but without DcneSt. Last year my wife, by the ad
vice of a friend, purchased a bottlt of Falne's Cel
ery Compound for me.
At tbat time I was reduced In weight to 104
pounds. The first bottle that I used made me feel
better so that I could eat well and sleep well.
Within fire weeks I was gathering news around
the city for my paper. This is the result of my
taking three botUes of Falne's Celery Compound."
In writing to the Wells & Richardson Co., Mr.
Murdock says:
"You may nse this statement of mine for any
good that It may do to bring the compound to the
notice of 'poor, unfortunate sufferers who don't
now know of its value."
Its value is certainly recognized by thousands of
people who one the fact that they are well to-day

nothing can compare with It. Ills as superior to
