Varnum, of Erie, Pa., was wreck- ed off Dunkirk N. ¥, A fishing vessel while going out to raise nets found the spar of the wrecked yacht, to which were cling- ingthe two members of the crew. Captain Thomas Stick was found unconscious and ‘was taken to Dunkirk for medical treat- ment. He will probably die. His companion, George Granzow, aged 18 years, was dead when found. Both men had been dashed about on the spar for 38 hours before being found. James and Thomas Shado, of Indianapo- lis, Ind., aged respectively 7 and 5 years, were horribly burned by natural gas by playing with ‘a gas leak. Their parents were burying another child who had burn- ed to death. Five workmen were badly burned in a gas explosion on Liberty street, Pittsburg, The ex plosion was in a manhole built by the Cen- tral Telephone Company for the conveyance of its wires underground, Coal oil gas, which escaped to a St. Louis sewer, caused an explsion that wrecked a large part or the city's drainage system. Three Lives were lost and several persons were wounded. The steamer City of Concord came in col- lision off Hyde Park, near Chicago, with a tug. The latter was cut to the keel and sank at once. Oscar Page, steward, and William Kopfer, deck hand, were drowned. The other three members of the crew were rescued. A search for four missing children in Medford, Mass., Thursday, resulted in find- ing them in a closet under a sink in an un- finished house, where they had crawled some time during the day. The door was shut in some other way, snapping the catch and making them prisoners. Three of them, all boys, died from suffocation, and the other, a little girl, was slowly sinking. Chas. Newport ate canned lobster at his wedding feast, and soon after died of blood poisoning. At Dell Rapids, 8. D., on Wednesday hundreds of farmers were starting in to cut their barley with every prospect of reaping a most bountiful harvest. In the afternoon they were in the midst of desolation. A large bluish green cloud sweept down upon the ripening grain and left destruction in its wake. The storm of wind, hail and heavy rain came from the Northwest with terrible violence, and 45 minutes later the sun shone as brilliantly as on a perfect summer day. Thousand of acres are laid to waste. Many farmers are insured, but many others lose heavily. Miss Augusta Regan, aged 19, was killed by lightning while bathing in the Passaic river near Stirling, N. J. Crops. The continued heavy rains in the vicinity of Memphis, Tenn., have seriously damag- €n the cotton crop in that section. Harvesting is nearly over in Michigan. good yield is reported. Conservative crop reports from Illinois indicate that the corn crop will fall 25 per cent. below last year. Wheat is now being harvested in northern counties and in other sections threshing 's in progress. . Reports from rye indicate a light yield, while that of oats is good. There is no improvement in the fruit outlook. A A terrific hail and wind storm swept over the town of Farmington, Minn., Friday. Hail to the depth of six inches covered the ground, doing great damage to property of all kinds. The loss to crops is absolute. The total acreage destroyed is estimated at 10,- 000 while the total loss will not fall short of $200,000. Recent rains have insured an almost un- precedented corn crop in Kansas. In the Northwest the harvest is ready, but laborers are very, very scarce. There will be work for thousands from the more east- ern States at good wages, and excursion rates will be almost nothing. Capital, Labor and Industrial, ‘The 800 employes of the Gilkey & Anson Tumber Company. of Morrill, Wis., have struck. They demand 10 hours’ work in- stead of 11 at 10 hours’ pay. All the girls employed as operators in the Central Union telephone exchange, Indiano- polis, Ind., went on strike, and there is - much inconvenience throughout the city in consequence. The trouble, the girls claim, is not one of wages or hours. They say they . have struck because of unreasonable rules which they are expected to observe, but can- not. The polishing girls of the United States Tin Plate Company, of McKeesport, Pa., who were getting 60 cents a day, have struck for 75 cents. The Idaho strikers who have been ar- rested are to be taken before the United States commissioner’s court. When bound over they will be delivered into the custody of the United States marshal. In this way the state authorities will be relieved from the necessity of providing for them. 106 prisoners are confined at Wardner in a place but poorly adapted for such purposes, and he plac is infested with vermin. At Wal- Jace there are 116 prisoners. If all the troops should be withdrawn from this region jt is thonght there would be an exodus of non-union miners. The war department desires to withdraw all troops at the earliest possible moment, but the state authorities are using every effort to retain some of the troops until winter, at least. The Board of Walking Delegates, in their fight with the Iron League, have ordered strikes on a dozen new buildings at New York and called out 15,000 men. There are now over 20,000 men on strike in that city. Workiaen in the fireproof and paint de- partment of the Canton, O., safe works have ‘been notified thata new scale of prices and 30 prostrations. At Reading, Pa., 100° duction in wages in these departments will average 10 per cent. There is not likely to be any trouble. Brown & Co., proprietors of the Wayne iron and steel works, Pittsburg, Pa. signed the Amalgamated scale with standing that if any reduction be'made in the scale during the ensuing year they bene- fit from it. Their 1,000 men have resumed work. Mexicans driven from home by drouth are flooding El Paso and offering to work for 25 cents a day and board. At St. Louis the Belleville Steel Company has signed the Amalgamated scale and works have resumed. The two Dunbar (Pa.) furnaces were shut down for lack of orders. About 300 men have idleness forced upon them. At Martins Ferry, O,, the Laughlin Nail Company signed the scale and resumed work. The 80,000 anthracite coal operatives in Eastern Pennsylvania and the 12,000 train bandsin the Philadelphia and Reading system are preparing to organize a union similar to the Miners’ and ' Laborers’ Be- aevolent Association that was disrupted in 1875. 92,000 men will resist the wage policy of the Philadelphia & Reading combination. Miscellaneous. The case of young Iams, who was drum- med out of the Tenth regiment at Home- stead, Pa., on last Sunday, will be taken in- ‘0 the courts by the friends of the young man, who consider that he has been harshly Izalt with. The first armor plate test on the proving grounds of the Bethlehem (Pa.) Iron Com- pany took place on Saturday and was a tomplete ‘success, the 104-inch Harvyized nickel steel plate resisting the impact of a %0-pound projectile. the velocity of which was 1,700 feet a second. The Government officials present approved the test as highly satisfactory. The Oklahoma craze has broken out among Tennessee negroes, and they are Rocking like sheep to the new territory. Harry Sullivan, who was fatally stabbed at Denver by an Italian named Augusta, has tonfessed that his real name is D. C. M. Mc- Lennigan, and that he is the man who be- trayed the Pennsylvania ‘Molly Maguires.” Augusta is thought to be an avenger of that order, who has been hunting McLennigan for years. Twenty-eight men from the Gem and Burke who where paroled a few days ago were re-arrested and brought to the Wallace {Io.) military prison. At Boise City, Yo., Judge Betty fixed the bail for the nineteen prisoners from Wallace and the six from Wardner, in jail charged with contempt of federal court at $1,500 each. None have furnished the required bonds yet. Political. W. A. MacCorkle, of Kanawha county, was nominated for Governor by the W. Va. Democratic State Convention. The Minnesota Republican Convention nominated Knube Nelsen, of West Alexan- dria, for Governor; David M. Clough, of Minneapolis, for Lieutenant Governor, and Fred P. Brown for Secretary of State. At the Wyoming Democratic State Con- vention, Dr. Osborne, of Rawlins, was nomi- nated for Governor. A PeopPLE’S PARTY Vicrory.—The silver convention held at Denver, Col., under the auspices of the State Silver League, conclud- ed its deliberations in a stormy all day ses sion. The fight was over the motion to en- dorse the full ticket nominated on the pre- vious day by the People’s party convention and a substitute to approve the: electorial ticket only. A faction opposed to both of these motions, and led by Hon. Thomas M. Patterson, the bolting democratic ‘editor of the ‘News,’ urged an immediate adjourn- ment and the future calling of a new silver convention to put a State ticket in the field. The People’s party element won the battle, and their State and electoral tickets were in- dorsed. Editor Patterson is now out in the cold. He has bolted the Democrats, Peo- ple’s party and Silverites. Fires At New York, the New York Biscuiv Company's six-story building on Tenth ave- nue. Loss, about $200,000.

At Philapelphia, while drunk, Winches- ter Comfort, a carpenter threatened to beat his wife. When he attempted to put his threat into executlon his 16-year-old son struck him on the head with a hatchet, frac- turing his skull, and he will die. Charles H. Page, a Philadelphia | stock- broker, was shot and killed by R. Kennedy, a customer, who then killed himself. Xen- nedy was crazed by losses. Washington News, The President nominated Watson R.

About the first of September he will go to Cope May Point and remain there till'the meeting of the Grand Army of the Republic in Wash- ington, September 20, sanitary, Six well defined cases of smallpox have appeared in one ward of the New York City Hospital, and more are feared. Last week there were 870 deaths in Phila- delphia, mostly caused by the heat, a larger number than during epidemics of cholera, smallpox and diphtheria. Judicial. The Michigan supreme court has decided that the insurance companies which wanted to pay only cost of production for fumber of ‘a lumber manufacturer which had been de- stroyed by fire must pay market price. BEYOND OUR BORDERS, During the opening of the annual fairat Alamado, Spain, a riot arose between sold- diers and civilians, and the former fired on the latter, killing two and wounding nine others. . A temporary constructed theater at Bur- ill, France, collapsed. About 700 people were within the enclosure, and of these 80 were injured, but none fatally. Ex-President Bogran, of Honduras, has fled to the United States; that Ceiba and Trujillo are still held by the revolutionists, and that President Lewa desires peace at any price. ; Eighty Chinese filibusters, after invading Upper Burmah, were routed by a small British force. Six outlaws were killed and. rnd the rest taken prisoners. ‘While brigands were raiding Puerporo, Mex., they were attacked by troops. In the battle four bandits and one soldier were killed. No captures were made. Eighty houses and an ancient Capuchin monastery were destroyed by fire at Male, in the Tyrol. Nearly 900 persons are made homeless.

A mass meeting in the east end of Lon- don was held Saturday to protest against Carnegie and the treatment af Private Iams. The four Anarchists who stole a lot of dynamite, were sentenced at Paris. Faug- oux got 20, Chaleret 12 and Dornet and Entivent each five years penal servitude. Two closely packed drags collided at Paris, on the way from the Maisons Laffit races. The horses became unmanagable and threw the drags down an embankment into the gutter. All the occupants of the drags were thrown out and two horses rolled down the embankment with them. Four men were killed and several men and two women were severely injured. : It is again said that Princess May, of Teck, who was betrothed to the late Iuke of Clar- ence and Avondale, has been betrothed to his brother, the Duke of York. The latest estimate places the loss of life by the eruption of the volcano Gunong Aroo, on Great Sangier Island, June?7, at 10,000 people, with millions of dollars’ worth of property destroyed. ENGINES COME TOGETHER. An Engineer Killed and a Number Hurt in a Collision. CINCINNATI, O., August 1.—A switch en- gine on the Big Four railroad collided with an excursion train from Niagara Falls at the Evans street crossing of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton track. The switch en- gine had taken a siding to allow the first section of the excursion train . to pass, and on being told the section was an hour late the engineer pulled out on the main track. Just as he reached the crossing the two en- gines came together with a tremendous crash. Engineer Downsand Fireman Pow- ers, of the freight engine, were caught, the former being so badly injured that he died on his way to the hospital. Powers was seriously but not fatally hurt. A number of passengers were slightly brui:ed. ei SIX BOYS DROWNED. They Were Thrown Into the Water by an Overturned Skiff, Near Winchester, Ky., on Sunday six boys were drowned in the’ K«ntucky river by the overturning of a skiff. Their names are: Kelley Farney, aged 15; Claud Farney 13; Walter Farney, 11; Charles Farney, 9; all sons of James H. Farney; Algin Brock, aged 16; Winner Brock, 12, sons of Rev. Henry Brock. The boys were bathing in the river, climbing in and out of the boat; and were thrown into a panic by .the boat overturning with some of the smaller boys, , SERVIGE IN “THE BG MILL Most Peculiar Conditions. Incidents and Developments in the Homestead Struggle. Sunday morning at 11 o'clock Chaplain Clarence A. Adams, of the Sixteenth regi- ment, delivered an interesting Gospel talk to the men inside the Carnegie works at Homestead. The services were held in the big beam mill. S3rmons have been deliver- ed in many strange places dnd under pecul- iar conditions, but it is a question whether a minister ever before addressed a e¢ongre- gation under such conditions as those: con- ‘ronting Chaplain Adams. The assemblage wumbered about 909, and included work- nen, watchmen and those whose duty it is o provide forthe sustenance and comfort of the others. Superintendant Potter and nany of his assistants were also included mong the listeners. It was an interesting picture to study. ' The bright light of a perfect day was not joftened by rose-tinted windows nor shad- swed by Gothic arches and columns, but itreamed 1n boldly through big skylights, iharply defining the hugh steel beams and girders supporting the big structure, and slearly lighting up the faces of ithe men. They .were.intelligent faces, the majority of them , and plainly reflected the yaryin emotions that stirred them as they engag in the service of sung and praise. : An orchestra rendered **Nearer My God ‘o Thee" as a voluitary, and then every one stood up and sang the Doxology in a way that made the immense building ring like a monster mus ¢ box. This was followed by ihe Lord’s prayer repeated in unison. That ood old hymn, ‘My faith looks up to ‘hee, Thou Lamb of Calvary’ wa: then sung, and again the place resvunded with a tich, full barmuny, such as can only bé produced by the singing of a large boay of men. A short reading of the Scriptures and prayer followed by another hymn, ‘‘Stand ap, Stand up for Jesus, ye Sowuiers of the ross,” preceeded the sermon. A SACRED CONCERT IN THE MILL. Sunday afterno.n the orchestra which bad furnished an accompaniment to the singing during the religious services in the morning gave a concert in the beam mill. The organization was c¢ nposed.of nine pieces, and rendered a program of sacred, classical and popular seicctions in a manner. that was greatly enjoyed by the men. jud- ging from the repeated rounds of applause. This Sunday afternoon concert differed from most entertainments of that name in that there was no bar attachment, The concert was in a way a strange event—fully as strange as the circumstances surrounding the religious exercises of the morning, and was commented on as such by many in the crowds who visited the camp on the hill above and listened to the sweet. strains as they were wafted upward on the cooling breezes. Here, in a free country, were men practically prisoners. guarded by the arms of over 1,500 of the State militia, enjoying a diversion as though in some popular park. OVER 900 MEN AT WORK. More men were received at the works on Saturday and Sunday. The number of men who were at work Monday morning was over 900. Five bunk houses are already built and occupied, another is about com- pleted-and more will be built. The number of men now in the mill exceeds the bunk house capacity just at present and some: have to place tlieir cots in the different mill buildings after work is over. The company is preparing to care for its new force for several months to come, till such time, in fact, us they shall be recog- nized by other people at Homestead and be able to buy and sell undisturbed by any boy- cotting measures. ‘Po this end tion o the 100 new houses tol Carnegie addition on the othe avenue, a number of temporary dwelling houses will be built inside thie mill yards. _ MR. FRICK ON HIS FEET. THE CHAIRMAN SAT UP AND WALKED ABOUT SUNDAY FOR SEVERAL HOURS. Chairman H. C. Frick, of tue Carnegie Steel Company, was able to situp and walk about Sunday for the first time since his narrow escape from deatn by the bullet and knife of Anarchist Berkman. His wounds in the back are entirely healed on the sur- face, and cause him little if any pain. The bullet wounds in his neck are entirely heal- ed. Mr. Frick wanted to go to his office today but the physician would not permitit. Mr. Frick will be out, however, by Thursday or Friday. Arrangements have been made at his hame to enable the chairman to attend to considerable of his regular business this week. THX DUQUESNE STRIKE. The eleventh day of the Duquesne strike ended Monday with but little change in the situation. Supt. Morrison issued a notice to the strikers to the effect that the mill would be started up in one week in all depart- ments, and that former employes who did not return to their jous by that time might consider themselves out of the company’s service. The men say that if non-union men are taken to the mill there will be no trouble, as only moral suasion will be used on them. ANARCHISTS HELD. BAUER AND NOLD GIVEN A HEARING AND SENT TO JAIL FOR A COURT TRIAL. Henry Bauer and Charles Nold, the pair of anarchists who were arrested by detectives at Pittsburg, Pa,, last week, were given a hearing belore Police Magistrste Gripp. They were charged with conspiracy and being accessory before the fact to the at- tempted murder o” H. C. Frick. They were held for trial at court in the sum of $2,000 each on the first charge and committed without bail on the second information. ALICE GOES TO AN ASYLUM. The Murderess of Freda Ward Deaclared Insane by the Jury. At Memphis, Tenn., Judge Dubose deliy- ered his charge to the jury in the Alice fitchell case.; The question was as to her present mental soundness. After being out 20 minutes the jury returned a verdict of insanity. Alice was returned to jail and in a few days will be taken toan insane asy- lum. A faint smile overspread Alice’s face when the verdict was announced and she chatted gaily with her relatives on her way back to jail. Should she be dismissed from the asylum as sound any time in the future she can be tried as to her sanity at the time the murder was committed. The action against Lillie Johnson, indicted jointly with Alice Mitchell, will be nolled. The League Record. The following table shows the standing of the various base ball clubs: Post- Per Won.

Its nal Features, Its Costand the “Troubles That Are to Come. - On June 28, the Carnegie Steel Company locked out its Homestead employes becauss an agreement on the wage scale could not be reached, and then began the most costly and sensational labor dispute the country has witnessed since the great railroad strike of 1877. The Homestead trouble has attracted the attention of the civilized world, has found its way into the executive, judicial and leg- islative departments of municipal, county, State and national governments, and is be- ing forced asan issue in the National cam- paign by free traders and free trade organs. Sensation has followed sensation until the people are even now asking, ‘‘What next?” The appeal to the Sheriff, for aid fo re- covering the steel works from the locked out men who were in practical possession of them, by Chairman H. C. . rick; the send- ine and the return of the Sheriff's deputies without getting inside of the mill fence, was an early act in the great drama, or tragedy. Then followed the Pinkertons, the pitched battle, the death of 10 men, the wounding of a score of others and the awful gauntlet which shocked civilization. The victory over the Pinkertons was followed by a prac- tical reign of mob law in a modified form omestead, which soon gave way to martial law. The main body of the Naticnal Guard was. on duty 16 days, at an average cost per day tothe state of $20,000. The total cost to date for the soldiers will reach in round figures $320,000, and the end is not yet. The workmen have lost in wages $180,000 and the Carnegie Company has lost and # $360,000 m 3 e ‘workmen at Duquesne, Beaver Falls and Pittsburgh have lost about $100,000 in wages and the firm's losses have been swelled by the idleness of these plants.. Workmen in Pittsburgh and other places not employed by the Carnegie Company have also been thrown idle by the strike, but their losses cannot be counted. The county will have to pay a good round sum for deputy sheriffs and for costs in the murder and riot trials to come, not to speak of a possibility of it being compelled to pay for the burned barges. Tne Nation will also have a small bill to pay for the Congressional investigs- tion, and the City of Pittsburgh another for the hunting down of the Anarchists. Al- ready the lockout has cost over $1,000,00C. Beside the money cost and the loss of precious lives, the trouble stirred up those pests of society the Anarchists and led to the shooting of Chairman Frick. A number of steel workersare under charges of murder and more must defend themselves in court against a charge of aggravated riot. A Lient. Colonel of the National guard and pos-ibly the Major General will have to satisfy the civil courts that they had authority to string a private up by the thumbs and to shave his head. Demago- gues all over the country havé found a hearing through the great struggle, both Honses of Congress have wrestled "with it, Pinkertonism has been killed by it, war- ships have been delayed in construction by it, it has brought sorrow to many homes and it is only a month old. That is the Homestead lockout. ¥ EIGHT HUNDRED MEN AT WORK IN THE CARNEGIE MILLS AT HOMESTEAD, AND OVER 100 MEN ADDED DAILY. In order to ascertain the true condition of affairs at the Homestead steel-works, and to learn if the oft-repeated stories published about only a few men being at’ work and the majority of these dissatistied had any foundation in truth, a Pittsburgh reporter ‘secured a permit and yisited the works ursday. The result was a most surprising 3 revelation, and plainly indicated that those persons outside the works who pretend to be thoroughly posted on the workings within the mill grounds ave either wilfully deceiv- ng the public or they have no knowledge about what they speak. Not since the company regained full pos- session of the plant, which for several days was in the hands of the mob, have represen- tatives of the newspapers been admitted to the works until now. The belief has been general that the discharged workmen on one side and the officials of the company on the other have been playing a double game of deception on the public as to the progress of resuming work, for the effect it would have upon those seriously consider- ing the acceptance of ‘employment at the terms offered. Vice Chairman Leishman disproved this by issuing orders admitting representatives of certain newspapers to the works. They were given every opportunity to make a thorough investigation of every department of the plant, even to: talking with the men there at work. The result of this personal investigation proves that there are over 700 men now at work in the mills, exclusive of superinten- dents, foremen and ‘heads of departments, which included increases the total number toabout 800. The new men as arule are bright, intelligent Americans, a large ma- jority of whom are skilled and experienced men in the deparimenty in whieh they are employed. The bestevidence that they are satisfied may be given in their own words. They say their wages and {reatment are satisfactory, and they have no doubt of per- manent employmentin the positions which they have accepted. ANARCHISTS ALONE TO BLAME For the Shooting of H. C. Frick- Severa Arrests Made, and More to Follow The Pittsburgh (Pa.) police autheritia have placed under -arrest Henry Bauer, s notorious Pittsburgh anarchist on the charpy of complicity in the attempted murder ot H. C. Frick, chairman of the Carnegie Co by Berkman. The Pittsburgh Chief © Police, O’Mara, also arrested Fredericl Mollich, a New York anarchist, on sami charge, and ‘brought ‘him to Pitts burgh for trial. Johan Most, of New York, is also believed to be in plicated in the plot against Frick and his arrest is also contemplated. Tht Pittsburg police are active in searching an archistic headquarters for proof of complic ity in the Frick assault, and already haw secured enough evidence to fully prove tha the shooting of H. C. Frick was the result of a deeply lail plot of the Anarchists and sensational developments are expected ‘These investigations fully prove tfat tn Homestead strikers nor the Amalgamated Association had nothing: whatever to da with the case. The anarchists on severa occasions tried to interest the Homestead workmen in their methods, but every time the men sternly refused their co-operation. Died of a Sting in Half an Hour. Mrs. Robert Morrell, an old lady of Hills- ooro, Ilis.. was stung on the neck by a bee, and died from the effects in 80 minutes. Mrs. Morrill had been in the best of health previous to the sting.

When you get men. with guns on their shoulders, shooting froma barricades and men are killed, it comes: close to murder in the first degree. Mr, O'Donnell’'s policy all'the time was for peace. This man's case was all the time fom by and saw th nd o stop it is equally guilty. ¥
