Among the visit ors Mr. Carter received at the Republican Kational headquarters on Fifth avenue to day was Governor McKinley, of Ohio. The Governor also saw Secretary McComas and General Clarkson. Mr. McKinley was in formed that he was in great demand for campaign speeches, and that there is hardly a State in the Union which has not called for at least one speech from him. He said that he hoped to take an active -part in the campaign, and would speak wherever the committee desired. Regarding the' situation in Ohio, he said: "The situation is as favorable as we have any right to expect. The question with us, of all other questions, is the tarifE Our people do not want it dis turbed, and won't have it disturbed, and as lone as tne Democrats conduct tneir campaigns on the free trade issne thev must expect an overwhelming verdict against them in Ohio. Governor McKinley left for Seabright to day. He will proceed to Brattleboro in a day or two, and will speak in Burlington August 30. His engagements in Maine are for September 5 and C, at places to be desig nated by Joe Manley. A Bone to Vick 'With Carter. Senator "Wilbur P. Sanders, of Montana, was also a visitor to headquarters. He is one of the 16 United States Senators who went to Minneapolis bitterly op posed to the renomination of Har rison, and he is said not to be quite placated yet Senator Sanders has a bone to pick with Chairman Carter. Mr. Sanders is the short-term Senator from Montana, and Sir. Carter is said to have a longing to succeed him. To fur ther his interests in this regard the Republican Chairman is said to have ignored a request for money made by tne Cnairman ot the Republican State Com mittee of Montana, who is a friend of Sena tor Sanders, and to have sent the needed sum, instead, to one of his lieutenants for disbursement, so that it might not be used to further the interest of the present Senator. Chairman Carter annonnccd that many callers to-day were from the Southern States, and that they furnished him with glowing accounts of the possibility of Re publican success there through Democratic disaffection. One of these was John "W. Conner, of Knoxville, who said the Repub lican majority up in Eastern Tennessee would be largelv increased, and that the Alliance vote will seriously affect the Demo crats in the western and middle parts of the Elate. Xe-vr (lentry to Have a Big Meeting. Major Carl Lentz, Chairman of the Essex County Republican Committee, and ex Congressman John Mean and Postmaster Edward L. Conkling, of Kev York, called at headquarters to secure speakers for a mass meeting to be held in Newark soon after the holding of the Republican State Convention in that city on September IS. They said thev wanted AVhitelaw Reid and Governor McKinley. The campaign managers were disturbed today over the information that the Indian Bureau of the Interior Department is being used as a campaign argument against the re-election of Harrison, and that a circular denouncing it is being dis tributed extensively among Roman Catholic clergymen. The document in question is the report of Rev. Father Stephen, secre tary of the Roman Catholic Bureau for the Education of Indians, to Bishop Marty, of South Dakota, President ot the Bureau. It is well-known that Morgan's confirma tion was opposed in Catholic quarters, and it is charged that he retaliated by recom mending that the Government support which has heretofore been extended to denominational schools established among the Indians he discontinued on the expiration of existing contracts. This ac tion, while it affects schools established by all denominations for the education of the Indians, particularly affects those of the Roman Catholic Churoh, which are far more numerous than those of any other Christian sect.

Mr. Reid and his wife attended the Presby terian Church at this place vesterday morn ing and occupied the pew in which the father of Mr. Reid, an cider of the church, used to sit with his little family. After the services were over and Mr. Reid was movinc toward the door the members of the congregation crowded around him, and as he shook each of his old acquaintances bv the hand, reminiscenses were called up and pleasant memories revived. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Reid devoted to the society of his aged mother, whose clear intellect is alive to all that is going on, and who appre ciates keenly the interest in and kindly demonstration of the esteem manifested toward her son.

GERMANS TAFFY GROVER. A Big Bote of Sweetnesa Dealt Out to tho Democratic Candidate fop President Carl fchnrz and Other Fleadlnc for Vote for Cleveland. Xew York, Aug. 22. The GefSan American Cleveland Union has issued an address siened by Carl Schurz, Oswald Ottendorfer Steinway, Henry Villard, Louis "Windmuller and Gustav H. Schwab, which, after praising Grover Cleveland and giving its reasons, urges all German-Americans to cast their ballots far the Democratic candidate. Translated, the address read as follows: To Our Oermin-American Fellow Citizens: Impleaded with the unusual Importance of the coming Presldental election, we re gard It as our duty to civo you our reasons for believing that tiio welfare of our adopted country requires the election of Grover Cleveland, and tliat lie deserves the votes of tlie naturalized Germans. Abovo all, wo wish to state that he Is a thoroughly honest man, which fact even his most bitter enemies do not dare to dispute. Xo one ever attempted to create tho slight est suspicion in this lospect. When he re turned to private life, alter having held tho highest position in this country, bis name was as unsull!ed as that of Washington. Anions: his most marKed characteristics are his undaunted courage and his adherence to his convictions. In his career as Governor of-Ne w Yoi k and as President of the United States he demonstrated In tho most impres sive manner that in this resnect he is sec ond to no other historical character in this country. A Solver of Important Qaeitlons. As bearer of the executive power, he In variably subordinated party interest to tho common welfare. IIo never hesitated to solve tho most important questions accord ing to his own unbiased conviction, resist ing all pressure from members of bis own party. On several occasions, seeing bis party in danger of being misled, he success tnlly and unflinchingly withstood their pres sure, without considering the opposition of party leaders. We need only refer to the flrnincss with which, notwithstanding the strong tendency of tue party in the South and lar West to bring about an unlimited coinage ot silvor, he unhesitatingly warned them of tho dangers liablo to arise fiom such a policy. His innate sense of dnty can not bo better proven than by the fact that during his Presidental administration, as well as during his second candidacy, lie never was a favorite with machine poli ticians whose aim was their own welfare. Giover Cleveland also distinguished him self by a more than ordinary measnrp of political sacacity and statesmanlike fore sight, 'lis not only by his determined stand on the silver question that he has shown himself to be an admirable exponent ot these qualities, but bv bis highly creditable treatment of the tariff question he forever feenred for himself one of the most conspic uous places in tho history of our republic. Ho keenly recognized in tho protective tariff system fostered by the Republicans for many years with tho tendency of levying still more oppressive duties, a steady crow ing evil that required Immediate and strong remedies, and he fearlessly expressed his views in his celebrated mossage to Con fess. It was owing to his intelligence and courage that tariff reform was Inscribed on the banner under which his whole party was united and led to glorious victory. Another Victory Predicted. Therois no doubt that by following the same banner it will win anotner victory at the end oftheprcseiitcampaign. Therefore wo earnestly beseech oar fellow-citizens to aid us in securing tho election of Grover Cleveland, tho independent, far-sighted statesman, the true patriot, the honest and courageous man. We expect a hearty co operation on the parr of the German-Americans, the more so n wo are convinced they particularlj should favor his candidacy as a true and immediate expression of tho will of tl.o people, which at Chicago triuirmli antly prevailed over all party usage, not nithstundiuj; tho opposition Horn the delegate-) fiom ins own State as well as the poli ticians in general. We do not hesitate to make this appeal to ourcountrymrii, because the platform of tho Dcinoo-atic party is entirely ratisractorv in regard to tne inaiii question! It calls for civil eervics reform, it advocates that gold, silver and paper money be placed on an abolntoly equal basis, and that the ob noxious ao-caileu Sherman law bo repealed. It aims at the lulorinutlon of tho existing protective system that only tends to enrich the owners of industrial establishments nnd to impoverish tlio masses ot the people, and strives to re-establish tne good old princi ple ot limiting the amount of duties loviod to the cui.il requirements of the Govern ment.

Philadelphia, Aug. 22. Special Outside of Collector Cooper and ex-Collector Dave Martin, no one knew of Sena tor Quay's intention to visit the cityi to day, and a telegram apprised those two gentlemen of his coming. The Senator slipped into the Continental Hotel just be fore noon, accomranied bv his son Diok. He very rarely fails to register, but to-day-was an exception to the rule, and his rooms were a quiet retreat during the hours of his stay. Life at the seaside has given the Senator a bronzed and ruddy look, and his eye is the eye of a healthy man. "I am feeling much better than usual," said the Senator to inquirers, "and expect to improve on present conditions. Don't ask me anything about politics. I haven't a word to sav on that score, not a word," was his reply to all attempts at an interview. During the morning Mr. Quay called at the People's Bank, the offices of the Trac tion Company and at the Custom House, where he met Collector Cooper. "With this business over, he met General Reeder at Republican State headquarters and was in conference with him over an hour. Senator Quay's principal caller was ex- Collector Martin, and the two were not only together all afternoon but left the hotel to gether shortly before 6 o'clock. Resident Clerk Charles E. Voorhees broke in upon the conference, and was the only one to do so. Among the leadng State Republicans in the city to-day were District Attorney Clarence Burleigh, of Pittsburgh, who expects to join the Pittsburg colony in Atlantic Citv to-morrow: Colonel E. J.

A STATE OFFICER UNDER ARREST Fir Prostituting His Position in Behalf of the Biotous Miners. CAENES MAI SHELL THE MOUNTAINS Cfpeciai. tklxorak to tux dispatch. NashvilIiE, Aug. 22. General Carnes and his troops are still arresting miners and others who are suspected of having con spired with them against the peace and dignity of the State. Seventy-five miners have been taken into custody at Jellico and more than 300 guns seized. The searching of houses for firearms and ammunition goes on, and a large quantity has been found in the Coal Creek Valley. The arrest of George V. Ford, the State Commissioner of Labor, on the charge of aiding and abetting the lawless miners, has. been followed by the arrest of George Irish. Mr. Irish is alleged to have been the chief counselor of the miners. He was captured five miles from Knoxvill this afternoon while making his way westward. It is understood that an order has already been issued by General Carnes for the arrest' of Charles T. Allerman, Mr. Ford's assist ant. Allerman represents Anderson county in the Legislature. Allerman'i Account or Himself. Allerman, who was being searched for in Knoxville and Anderson counties, arrived here to-day from Knoxville. He said in an interview that he had not been to Coal Creek since last Thursday and was then in the town only a few hours. He said he had always been opposed to the course pursued bv the miners, all of whom knew his posi tion, and that he had only been in Coal Creek a short time when he was notified that it would be best for him to leave and return to Knoxville. This advice he con sidered wise and left on the next train. Mr. Allerman said he did not know why an order for hiB arrest had been issued, as he had done nothing to agitate the trouble. He said that when he was going to Coal Creek he saw about 125 miners armed with rifles, and he also saw a fuse sticking out from under the railroad track. Knowing this and believing an attempt would be made to blow up the train if soldiers went upon it, he felt it his duty to notify the militia, telling them they should be cautious. As to the afrest of Mr. Ford, Mr. Allerman said he knew nothing except what had been pub lished in the papers. Bud Llndiay the First Prisoner. .The scenes at Coal Creek are decidedly interesting. Soldiers are everywhere. On a side street is a little Methodist church, and within its walls are 250 odd prisoners, with the notorious Bud Lindsay, the mur derer of 7 men, the most closely guarded of them all. He it was who put the pistol to Colonel Anderson's head. There is a little story connected with him in this affair. "When General Carnes reached Offutts, a heavily-built, evil-browed man stepped on the train. He had with him a pair of telegraph "climbers," pinch ers and some wire. To the General he said: "I am a lineman for the Knoxville and Ohio road. I will go on with you to fix up the lines." General Carnes scrutinized the man closely. "I have linemen of my own," he replied, "and I can take no chances. Con sider yourself under arrest." On all the roundabout ten-mile march from Offutts to Coal Creek, over which the soldiers dragged by hand a tannbn and gatling gun through a "driving rain, that man was under guard. Thus Bud Lindsay became the first prisoner of war. He was released at Coal .Creek. Captured a Second Tlran. Afterward, when his identity became known, Colonel Sevier took a squad into the mountains and recaptured him. At present General Carnes' intentions are to try his prisoners before Squire Wilson, who was one of the committee who recently called on the Goveruorto ask that the militia be withdrawn. The condition of the women of Coal Creek is pitiatle. They rarely venture into the streets, and then only carry food to their fathers, brothers or husbands in prison, who are fed twice a day on cofiee and bread by order of the commander. A negro who went duting the late excitement to visit his relatives at the station above Coal Creek was so frightened that when he got back to Knoxville his speech was gone. He has been writing since. The uneasiness of the women cannot be described. They gather up their children and peer through the little windows, asking quavering questions of every passer-by. The war is over, although Morton's battery was ordered from Chattanooga last night General Carnes May Shell the Mountains. It is said that General Carnes intends to shell the mountains to dislodge, if possible, sharpshooters, and althongh it is said that tlie miners are only waiting to reorganize, there will not be any more fighting. The miners never have given open battle, aud thev never will. The only fatality that is likely to occur is the death of Bud Lindsay. It is almost certain that he will be killed before many days. By ope means or another, all of East Tennessee is on his track. Lindsay nar rowly escaped lynching last night, his life being spared on condition that he would give the names of all the guilty miners he knows. "Work will be resumed. Two additional pieces of artillery and a big supply of ammunition was sent tb Coal Creek to-day. This is to more securely for tify the entire valley against possible in trusion. There was but little firing at Coal Creek last nieht and to-day. No one has been sbo( to-day, but there are many miners in the mountains, and they take advantage of every opportunity to get in a shot at the soldiers. The troops at Fort Anderson are to be strengthened. Every stranger entering the town, and, in fact," every stranger that comes within the tight of a soldier, is held up until he can give an acoonnt of himself. Failing in that he is locked up under a heavy guard. Miners Ili-glnning to Open Their Months. General Carnes was found at supper to- mgnt, ana made the following statement: "We have made better progress to-day Jn our investigation than at any previous time. ' These men (meaning the prisoners) are jnst beginning to open their mouths, and some startling developmsnts will be made in a short time. They all belong to a secret oath-bound order, and the penalty of their obligation is death consequently they have been as close as clams hereto fore. We have been at work on them, how ever; and are just now beginning to convince them that they will be protected against violence for making statements. We have gotten several confessions from them to-day, which at this step of the proceedings it would be unwise to give ont; but I state this much, that whenthey are made known they will create much surprise." The Geperal also stated that at the rate of progress that hid been made to-day he would be able in five or six days to separate the chaff from the wheat, and that their work would be completed. George E, Irish, the notorious miner leader, was brought lrom Knoxville to Coal Creek at 11 :30 to-night At 11:50 p.m. a detachment of soldiers forcibly entered the telegraph office and are examining the files to get addresses and names ot miners. Kuruor has it to-night that Govornor Buchanan has rescinded the commission of Sheriff Rutherford, ot this county, but it cannot be verified. Cost Miners' Marrow Escape. PEoniA, lLT,Aug.22. The Wesley City coal mine, across the river from this city, caved in this morning. Several miners were imprisoned, but no lives were lost -D1HPAT0H TUESDAY, - The men all made their escape through an other shaft, one mile from where the Acci dent occurred. A KENSINGTON SH00TINB. Patrick J. Mnlvehlll Dangerously Shot by Frank Miller, Tl ho Was Attempting to Escape Arrest Threats of Lynching. Frank Miller, while attempting to escape from the police at- Hew Kensington, West moreland county, last night, shot and seriously wounded Patrick J. Mulvehill. Miller was finally arrested, and to prevent his being lynched was brought to Pitts burg and wai placed in jail. Mulvehill was also brought to this city. He was sent to a hospital for medical treatment Frank Miller is a glass-house employe in Kensington. Last evening about 8 o'clock, Miller got into an altercation with a Ger man. They grew excited and Just as a policeman stepped up to them 'Miller knocked his opponent down and took to his heels. Chief of Police Erdman and another officer appeared and Joined in the chase. They had not gone far 'when Miller drew a revolver and fired at his pursuers. The second bullet passed through the right arm of Chief Eraman, Inflicting a flesh wound. The officer in turn fired at Miller, but did not check him: ' When Miller had mn about a block, Pat rick J. Mulvehill stepped out of a store and, attracted by the '"cries of the pursuers, joined in the chase. He grasped Miller, but the latter fired at him, shooting him through the right thigh. Mulvehill, however clung to him and succeeded in wresting the revolver from him and throw ing him' down. The others then came np and Miller was overpowered. The shooting had greatly excited the people of the town and cries of "lynch him" were beard. To guarantee safety the pris oner was brouzht to Pittsburg. Two infor mations, charging him with Bhooting with intent to kill, were lodged against him be fore 'Sanlre Zents. At Central station Mulvehill's wound was dressed. It was thought Miller, who was locked up, had been shot by Chief Erd m'an, but the only injury lie had was a bruise on his side. Mulvehill is employed in the hotel of his brother, James Mulvehill, the ex-police officer of Pittsburc. Miller will be kept in jail here until Thursday, when he will be taken back to Kensington for a hearing be fore Squire Zents. INDIANA FOR HARRISON. The Preslden"s Friends Confident He Will Carry Ills Own State Once More Dissat isfaction Among the Democrats of Iloofterdnm on Account of Several Things. Washington, Aug. 22. Special At torney General Miller, who has been out in Indiana looking over the political field and at the same time enjoying a vacation, has returned to Washington, and was at his desk in the Department of Justice to-day. He declined to be interviewed on the situa tion in the Hoosier State, but his personal friends say he is very well pleased with the outlook from a Republican standpoint The Republicans are counting upon carry ing the State because of the discontent among the Democrats over the new tax law passed by the last Legislature. It affects the farmers particularly, and they are ex ceedingly bitter in their denunciation of the politicians who enacted the obnoxious law. There is also a remarkable lack of en thusiasm among the followers of ex-Governor Gray, for they feel that they were be trayed at Chicago after they were given as surances by the friends of Mr. Cleveland that their man should have the second place upon the ticket They claim that it was the action ot the Indiana delegation, nnder the leadership of Senator Voorhees, in coin? to the support of Cleveland, that made his nomination certain. They also remember that two of Mr. Cleveland's most trusted friends threw away the votes of Michigan and Wisconsin, which sliould have been in the Gray column. Thev still remember .how they -marched into the convention hall at Chicago carry ing Gray banners just before the balloting for the Vice President began, and paraded among -tlie delegates confident that the pledges made between Senator Voorhees and Mr. Cleveland's, managers would be carried out Their mortification and disap pointment is still -alive, and thev propose to have their, revenge op election day. There is another feature in the Indiana contest which affords the Republicans more or less comfort The old soldier element is being appealed to with good effect, and through a combination of the circumstances mentioned the Republicans expect to carry the State for Harrison. NEW YORK'S SENSATION. The Cnttlng-SeUgman Marriage Much Dis cussed Rumor That Supplies Will Be Cat Off by the Catting and a Separation Forced. NewYokk, Aug. 22. Clubdom, swell dom and stagedom here are all discussing the marriage of Robert L. Cutting, Jr., to Miss Minnie Seligman, the actress. The Cuttings have been social leaders in Sara toga for many seasons and the ab sence dt Mrs. Cutting, who is in Europe, has been greatly regretted this summer. Mr. Cutting, Sr., is at Sara toga, but refuses to talk. A correspondent says he learns from friends of the old gen tleman that Mr. Cutting has given no indi cation of his course in the matter. They say he has been greatly troubled by -cablegrams from Mrs. Cutting, now in Paris, which show that she is in a highly excited, not to say distracted 'frame of mind, and her abnormally nervong condition makes him as much troubled about her as he is over the marriage. These friends say his most probable course will be to bring about a speedy separation, and as their theory is that the new bride is after the Cutting casb, they think an annulment of the marriage will not be very Btrenuously resisted after the father cuts off voung "Bob's" supplies. Mr. Seligman expressed himself as highly pleased with the choice his daughter had made, -and was disposed to dilate upon Mr. Cutting's many excellent qualities. He said that Mr. Cutting and his wife had left the city on Saturday night, but to tell where they had gone would be to betray a confi dence. There was one bit of confidence, however, which he was willing to betray. It was as to the age of Mrs. Cutting. "Mv daughter," he said, "is only 24 years old. She was born in the house at 32 West Thirty-ninth street, and I had it so re corded." Commeut was made by some of Miss Seligman's friends on the fact that she had been married by an Episcopalian clergy man. Her first marriage was performed by a rabbi. As she has been a special favorite with Hebrew theatergoers, it was suggested by a manager that her renunciation' of her religion would tend to create a feeling against her.

ATTGUCT 2j 189a GEORGE CAKE'S CASE Under Thoughtful Consideration by Secretary Charles Foster. THE SHOW FOR THE PITTSBURGER Not Considered Fspeclallr Flattering- at the Present Time. J0ST WHAT THE SECRETARY HAS TO SAT rnOM A STAIT CORTtKSFONDENT.l Washington-, Aug. 22. After an ab sence of about two weeks at his home in Ohio, Secretary Charles Foster, of the Treasury Department, 'was again" at his desk this morning, looking much the better for his vacation. He hurried through with an immense amount of business to-day, as he expects to start the latter part of the week for a trip across the ocean, the second? he has taken this year, this time lor the special purpose of accompanying his 'family on their return home. Mr. Foster knew nothing of the strained condition of affairs with regard to the ap plication of George L. Cake or the position of Immigrant Inspector until he came to the department this morning. The day he left for home he-had ordered the appoint ment of Mr. Cake. The appointment was made out by the private secretary, and was ready to be given to the public that even ing, when telegraphic- protests came stating that Mr. Cake was a bigamist, and should not be appointed., Unknown to the Secre tary, and on the strength of the repre sentations, the appointment was held up and a special agent ordered to investigate the charges, and until his return this morn ing Mr. .Foster has looteu upon .air. uase as an employe of the Government. A Cause Celebre Made of the A flair. Meantime, requests for the appointment and protests against It have been pouring in upon the department, and the matter has become a sort of cause celebre. The- Win dow .Glass Workers' Association, of Pitts burg, passed resolutions of admiration and renewed confidence, and to-day a similar declaration from the association' in New Jersey was received. Individual letters by the hundred have been filed away, bearing on both sides ot the case. A few of the workingmen have protested against the ap polntment, but the bulk of the opposition has come from employers who dislike Mr. Cake's activity in labor matters. This has added zest to the contest, and it has become, in a way, a question of employers against workers, the pride and the influence of each being in the balance. Secretary Foster gave the case soifle con sideration to-day, but had no positive con clusion to announce to the public. He had learned that Mr. Cake was the possessor of one wife with whom he did not live, and that the wife with whom he does live, and who is the mother of his children, is a wife on account of bonds of affection so much stronger than those imposed by the law that the legal proceedings usual in such matters were unnecessary to assure protec tion, and were therefore entirely dispensed with. Delicate Position of the Secretary. To the Secretary it was a delicate matter to decide the case. On the one hand, good citizens seemed to have boldly and heartily condoned the fault of Mr. Cake, if they deemed it a fault; and on the other were other good citizens who opposed the ap pointment because of that fault whether wholly on moral grounds he was not in formed. Then the question arose in regard to the wisdom of appointing in any circum stances one situated as Mr. Cake con fessedly is. It was possible that in the Government, service there were men quite as deservedly a 'mark for criticism as Mr. Cake, but if so the fact was kept exceed ingly quiet, and bad not been made an issue, either against their appointment nor their retention in office. As an instance of the manner in w hich some. men are able to live double lives with out detection Mr. Foster referred to the story of a man ot national reputation who for years occupied a high office in Wash ington. After his death the Secretary and others who had been his associates were ask by his wife to write their reminiscences of him, to be printed in a biography which she had in preparation. They did so, but the book never appeared. Dropped I.lkn a Hot Potato. Inquiring in regard to this, at one time, Mr. Foster was told that it had been dis covered that the gentleman had been living with a wife in Washington to whom he was not married, while the legal wife was at home all unconscious of the dual alliance. Of course, after the latter made this dis covery work on the biography proceeded no further. As to Mr. Cake, no formal decision would be given at this moment There was no necessity for haste. His appointment bad been asked for on the ground that he would be one of the most efficient persons that could be selected to look after the enforce ment of the alien contract labor law. This mighttbe the truth, but it was also true that that work was being very thoroughly done by the present employes of the department No important complaint had been heard of laxity in the enforcement of the law. All of the objectionable elements, paupers, criminals and persons supposed to be im ported under contract hod been pretty effect ually barred out during the past year. It had been asserted, however, that the appointment of Mr. Cake would satisfy the glass workers that there was one in the ser vice who wonld give special attention to the prevention of importation of glass work ers under contract, and the Secretary was willing to believe that they were rieht; but the intervention of the moral question had put a new face on the matter, and there it rested for the present A Prediction That Cake Mast Go. It was plain that notwithstanding his de sire to avoid auy positive indication of his purpose, the Secretary was convinced in his own mind that the appointment of Mr. Cake, under the circumstances, would be inadvisable and impossible. It is easy to forsee that the department, even if its chief could personally overlook the conditions, would be attacked all over the country for making such an appointment after the facts were all known and had been publicly dis cussed for weeks. Whether the final word be spoken to morrow or at some future time, it is safe to say that it will be a refusal to make the appointment; and therefore, if the glass workers desire to secure the office for one of their number, they may as well make a new recommendation at once. PECULIAK STBIKE IN A BBEWERY. One Knight of Labor Hired for Another but the Men Still Co Oat. AI.BAHY, N. Y., Aug. 22. Spinal A small strike occurred here in the brewery operated by Granger & Story. The strike was insignificant, since only eight men were concerned,, but the principle involved makes it worthy of note. The firm had signed a Knights of Labor contract to em piny only members of the order, and the privilege was given (hem to discharge any man "for cause," provided another Knight was hired to take his place. A week or two ago the firm discharged one Morrisseyfor cause. Another Knight was hired in his place, but Morrissey's friends continued to labor for his reinstate ment, and td-day secured an order for a strike from the circle of Knights to which he belonged.

The Big Electrlo Hash IJcht Bars to Rv o'ntlonlx the System of Signaling- Telegraphing by Means of It a Dtstanos or 83 Miles. Mt. Washingtok, Aug. 22. Special Each day brings proof that the big electric searchlight, which Electrician L. H. Rogers has placed on this summit is going to revo lutionize the system of signaling. Letters and telegrams from various parts of New England arrive every day, telling of the practical value of the lijjlit as a means of transmitting communications when wires are not at hand or have been severed by one cause or another. , The distance between this station and Portland is about 85 miles in a bee line, yet even at that distance a message was flashed through the air which was read by a telegra pher on the top of the Western Union building in that city. The source of the light itself was not visible from the Western Union building, but its needle-like beam shot across the heavens and was clearly out lined. Telegraphic communication had been es-J tabllshed oetween the tower and rooj oi tne Western Union building, and at 0:30 o'cljlic the electric light was turned on and the beam directed toward Portland. The oper ator at this station telegraphed over the wires: "Can you see the beam of light in the air?" and the answer came back: "Yes; I can see it directly overhead." Then the Mt Washington operator wired: "I am going to telegraph by .flash light; send back instantly by wire the word as yon will get it" Then the key which operates the flash lightens used, and by the code system of dots and dashes the name "Mt. Washing ton" as flashed across the sky. Instantly after the completion of the last word the little ticker repeated the words which were sent back by wire by the Port land operator. Other messages were also sent During the past week there have been superb weather conditions, and many fea tures with regard to the light's pene trating power have been developed. At Maplewood, 20 miles distant, it was possible to read print. On another occasion a lady read a letter on the piazza of Sunset Pavilion, North Conwav, by the light of the big flash light. That was covering a distauce of 20 miles. At Littleton, 23 miles away it was possible to read a book. F0EGING IHIO BIX FIGURES. A Sharp-r Tlctlm'zlng Eastern Banks With Myriads of Small nogns Checks. Chicago, Aug. 22. To-day brought to the notice of the bankers of Chicago a care fully planned scheme of forgery. Tlie name assumed by the sharper is E. J. Whipple; the place of operating Boston, Providence and New York. The checks are drawn on the Atlas National Bank of this city,, and so far as has been discovered are made payable to J. S. Stevenson, by whom they are en dorsed. Thev are first cashed by gome seaside hotel keeper and by him placed in the bank. The checks are drawn for reasonably small amounts, but follow each other In such rapid succession that if the resourceful Whipple be not soon nnder lock and key the sums are likely to run up into six figures with a remarkable degree of speed. The checks are perfect, except for a slight inaccuracy in the certificate stamp. Among the victims in the East are the Narragan sett Hotel Company, Providence; National Bank of New York and Exchange Bank of Boston. It is not known how many of the bogus checks are out, but they are pouring in upon the) Atlas National Bank at a lively rate. Ocean Stenmthlp Arrivals Steamer. Where from. Destination.
