THE FUTURE IRON AGE.
Gen. WiIder's Visit 10 EngIand-Her
Capitalists Want 10 Control the Iron
Trade of America-But MahOmet
Must Come to fhe Mountain.

Chattanooga OOnUlerClals sept. %
Gen. Wilder having arrived by the East
Tennessee train yesterday afternoon, We
called on him in the evening at the resi-
dence of Capt. Chamberlain, and gathered
from him some facts of the greatest interest
to Chattanooga, and the iron district con-
tiguOus.
The General stated that he bad been
constantly engaged in representing before
English capitalists and ironmasters the
wonderful resources Of our country, and its
facilities for the cheap production of iron.
He is satisfied with the result of his efforts,
though the English are cautious and hard
to move. A number of the best of them,
after Shaving heard so much of our
resources, baye been induced TO
come and see for themselves, among
them Nr. Lowthin Bell, Presi-
dent of the British Iron and Steel lnsti-
tute, who is now in New York. This gen.
tleman, and a number of Others now in
New York, and on their way from Europe,
will make the rounds Of the United States,
arriving in Chattanooga in four TO six
weeks. Gen. Wilder requested them to
give all other districts a thorough eXamina
ton, and then come and see what we have
at Chattanooga ana vicinity.
The General SAYS the iron trade in
England is dull: even worse than in this cOun-
try. The English no longer expect to get
back the American iron trade, unless they
come TO this country to manufacture it, and
even then they expect to have to 60 to the
Southern States in order TO control it. The
idea is that English capital wants to COLI
trol the iron trade of America. They have
abandoned the hope of doing so by manu-

DEATH In THE THRESHER.
Four Persons Killed, Including Two
I.adIes-Tbree Others MangIed-One
Man RIOwn 100 Feet

ST. PAUL, Sept. 26.-The threshing-ma-
chine accident at Franklin, briefly alluded
TO yesterday, was a dreadful affair. A
steam thresher belonging TO Mr.. Burke had
been at work threshiDg, and had nearly
completed the job, when all hands stopped
for a few minutes and the machine was
standing still, and just as they were about
TO start it again the boiler of the engine eX-
ploded with terrific force, throwing the en-
gine and boiler about one hundred feet and
landing it on stack Of straw about tenfeet
high. Three persons were instantly killed,
and three injured, one of the injured having
since died, making four killed. The
names of those killed are Mrs. NJ. Barrish,
Miss Katie Devine, DIR. ;. ID. Grant and
Perry Barke. The injured are Martin De
vine, shoulder broken and injured inter-
nally; Thomas Cunningham, arm nearly
torn Off Perry Barke was blown about
400 feet from the engine and landed in
marsh. Miss Kate Deyine was torn in
three pieces, her body being picked up in
three separate places. DIR. Grant, Of Car
yer. and several ladies with him, had ar
rived on the ground, to witness the opera
tions of the steam thresher, just before the
explosion occurred, and was instantly
blown into eternity.

A GOOD DAYS WORK.

We congratulate the citizens of
Nashville upon the result of yesterdays
election. The canvass Just closed has
been marked by an absence of all po-
litieal feeling, stump speaking, the use
of fife and drum, and, in short, the
customary accessories of elections.
Realizing that their interests had suf-
fered by municipal mismanagement
during the past two years, the respec-
table, substantial class of voters de-
cided a new deal to be necessary, and
the desired change was brought about
in the most elective manner possible
by the use of the ballot-box.
In Morton b. Howell Nashville will
have an efficient Mayor-one who
will fill the position with credit to him.
self and those who elected him. What
is equally satisfactory. he will have the
aid and advice, in his official acts,
of a City Council composed chief
ly of solid business msn.
The proposition to levy special tax
to raise 100000 to purchase new
engine for the waterworks, and lay an
eighteen-inch main from the reservoir to
the Public Square, met with favorable
response on the part of our citizens.
Money, to be sure, is scarce and times
are hard, but the engine now in use at
the waterworks has been for twenty
years In constant service and is liable
to give way at any time, in which case
great inconvenience and even suffering
would ensue. The absolute necessity
of laying larger water pipe in the heart
of the city is also admitted, and now,
after this expression of opinion on the
part of a majority of the taxpayers of
the city on this subject, it is to be
hoped that the City Council will never
order the laying Of another foot
of three-inch pipe. Nashville is
growing every day, and, IN lew years,
Will be streching away over the beau
tiful elevations just outlying our pres
ent suburbs. The demand for water
viii be double or treble what it now is,
rendering the small pipe which it has
been the custom to use heretofore ut
terly valueless.
While the tax to be levied may seem
large, 1t should be bJrne In mind that
the additional revenue to be derived
from the largely increased water sup
ply will more than compensate for this
outlay.
For the success of our ticket great
credit is due the City Executive Com
mittee, who have labored necessarily
for the interests ofreform, and have been
untiring In their efforts to secure the
election of representative men to the
council, in order that Mr.. Howell may
be able to carry into effect his plans fol-
general improvement and the restora-
ton of the city's credit.

dispatch of yesterday says, it is reported

part of scheme of Bismarck to eonvulse
Europe. Russia, being fully advised of the
intention of Bismarck to acquire foothold
in America, and with assurances that we
will not permit the transfer of colonial IpOs-
sessions in America from one European
nation to another, is prepared to form an
alliance with the United States, in the
event that Germany determines to force
her aspirations.

THE EUROPEAN CHECKER.BOARD.

THE EUROPEAN CHECKER-BOARD.
A few years ago we were wont to
speak of the five great powers. Now
there are but two, Germany and Rus
sia,-tke latter half Asiatic. Germany
has become a wonderful meddler since
the downfall Of France, pushing Italy
to its ruin, intriguing in Spain, stirring
up the Algerine Arabs against the
French, coveting the one solitary en-
trane to the Baltic Sea, and even
stretching its ambitious arms across
the sea under the very nose of Uncle
Sam So long as it confined its machi-
nations to Western Europe, there were
mons to say nay, but the attempt 70
annex Denmark has aroused the
Russian bear. He thinks it bad
enough to be ruled out of the
Mediterranean by the Turk, and chafes
under the restraint. But this German
move to possess the Skagerrack and
Cattegat, thus closing him In on the
Northern side also, and making the
Baltic another Black Sea, is altogeth-
er intOlerable 1t is difficult to explain
why the new Empire should thus in
vite the enmity of its powerful Eastern
neighbor, unless we take it as another
illustration of the blindness that so
often strikes successful ambition. This
incipient quarrel, if persevered in, Will
lead to curious results, prominent
among which may be the restoration of
Poland to the map Of Europe. All
readers of history remember that it re-
quired the combined power of Russia
and Prussia to stifle that noble nation.
The Porto. Rico intrigue, denied so
hastily at Washington and Madrid,
but not denied to this good day by the
Berlin Government, gives the United
States a grievance in which she may
make common cause with Russia, as
intimated in this mornings dispatches.
The danger of such an alliance is that
Russia is proverbially selfish and, as a
consequence, treacherous. Witness
her course during the Napoleonic wars.
She and Germany might make terms
TT any time, leaving us the bag to hold.
In this connection, 1t may ba worth
noting that the NelC York Frceman's
Journal, which was the first paper
10 expose the Porto Rico affair, de-
clares in its last issue that war be-
tween Germ6ny and the United States
is ION the cards" This would sound
ridiculous if we could forget that the
Spanish navy is second only to that of
Great Britain, and SerranO is now a
mere puppet of Bismarck. 1t is also
worth noting that the new policy with
which Gen. Grant is credited, of op-
posing the transfer of American colo
nies from one European power to an
other, is not exactly the Monroe doc
trine," but quite an advance on the
principles which the latter involved.

CREEDMOOR.
The International Shooting Match
Americas Team Wins by Three
Points.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-At the sale OF
pools last night, the Irish team had the
call 500 to $50. In the French pools the
American team sold almost even with their
competitors.
The international rifle match took place
to-day at CreedmOor. The ferry boats
from James Slip and East Thirty-fourth
street were crowded with passengers to
Hunters Point, and the trains to Creed
moore were so loaded that many
persons were unable to obtain
seats. The pleasant weather was
the subject of general eongratulation.
The Range presented picture in its ap-
pearance. White tents dotted its surface
and the flags of various nations were sus-
pended over the entrance. the American
and Irish cOlOrs being conspicuous. A re-
served space extending for about twenty
five feet behind the marksmen was sur
rounded by rope, and crOwding against
this were dense lines of spectators, the
Irish element being prominent. In the Ell
closure were the American and Irish teams
and their reserve scores, and few invited
guests. Maj. Leech, Captain of the Irish
team, and Col. 'Wingate, Captain Of the
Americans, were chosen referees and Gen.
Shaler as umpire.
The First Event.
At a quarter past eleven the firing was
begun at 800 yards range, each marksman
having fifteen shots. The shooting was
witnessed with the most lively interest
among the bulls-eyes, exciting loud mur-
murs of applause among the spectators,
who at first also hailed them by round of
hand-clapping At the earnest request of
the CAPTAINS of both teams, these demon
stratiops were subdued, as having tenden-
cy TO disturb the marksmen. The result
of the competition, which lasted an hour
and a quarter, was in doubt almost UP to
the close, when it was found that the Amer

The Best Shooting Ever Witnessed.
The result of the first contest gave en-
cOuragement to the friends of the American
rifiemen, and many confidently predicted
their success in all the trials. The betting
was now $100 to so in favor of the Amer
leans.
The shooting was followed by an inter
mission for lunch in one of the tents, where
congratulations were exchanged, and in a
complimentary speech Major Leech pre-
sented TO the Rifle Association, on behalf of
the Irish team, handsome silver vase, as
trophy, to be subject to annual cOmpeti-
tion, and as amemOri Il Of the international
match. A handsome silver badge was at
the same time presented to C.. Wingate,
Captain of the American team, by Capt.
leech.
Soon after two o'clock firing was resumed
at the nine hundred yard station, and the
result was in favor of the Irish team by
two points. Both teams Immediately
moved to the one thousand yard range, and
the result of the firing here was
also favorable TO the Irish by four
marks, but these latter triumphs were not
sufficient 10 overcome defeat in the short
ranges, and the Americans won the match
10y three points.
