BY the failure of the State Savings In
stitute of Chicago, over 10000 depositors
were swindled out of their deposits.
Long John Wentworth says the "infer-

have left about $4,000 to be divided
amongst 10000 depositors-about dol

poor and needy, and could they get hold

TIVE Democratic ticke now before the
people ofstark county is good one from
top to bottom. Every man has the requi-
site qualifications for his place, and it
should be the effort Of all true Democrats
to. see that every candidate on the ticket
polls the FULL vote. To prevent this the
friends of the Independent candidates
are already circulating lies to cause ill
will, and to procure support for those
who have never had particle Of claim
to the vote ofa Democrat.

THE Duke of Buckingham, Governor

THE LABOR AGITATION.
A GeneraLStrike Of Railway Employees
Threatened.
RAILWAY MANAGERS NOT FULFILLING
THEIR PROMISES. Hh

Danville, Pa, Sept S.-The movement among
the railroad operatives in this State for general
strike on the 18th inst appears to be spreading.
All railroaders belonging to the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, the Train Mems Union
and Conductors Union have been engaged in
holding secret meetings during the past few days
and 1t is learned from those high in authority in
the different unions, thatthe preliminary arrange.
ments for contest with the railroad corporations
are about complete. A member OF the Engineers
Brotherhood states that the trouble has been pre-.
cipitated by the operation on the leased lines of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The Pitts.
burgh, Fort Wayne Chicago men may possibly
inaugurate the strike,
Treschery Of the Company.
1t will, perhaps, be remembered that, at the
time Of the late railroad fight, the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne Chicago men were to go to their several
departments on the road and their demands
would be Immediately considered by the com
pany. The dissatisfied hands decided to resume
work, and at meeting held for that purpose re-
solved 10 give the railroad operators two months
to consider their propositions, when, If not agreed
to- they were to strike again. Upto this day the
old wages have not been restored. The men be-
ing impressed with the belief that the company
does not intend to keep the promise made to them
have perfected arrangements for strike on the
18th. ! he company has acted treacheTously with
the employees on all rs lines, and the men on the
western division cannot make a successful strike
alone the Eastern men have decided to go out
too, 30 the strike may be carried to a successful
issue The employees generally, in the motive
power departments will most undoubtedly, join
in the strike II It Is once lnauguratsd The strike

sion he says: "Its existence should not be

A CITY UNDER THE SEA.
[Paris Correspondence London Telegra

[Paris Correspondence London Telegraph
A strange discovery is reported from
the Lake Of Geneva. A tourist. having
lost his trunk, two divers were employed
to search for it. While they were below
water they found what they supposed to
be village, since covered by the lake.
Their statements led to an investigation
of the spot by the municipal authorities,
who took measures to ascertain the
truth ofthe extraordinary account of the
divers. On covering the placid surface
with oil, these latter We're able to dis
tlnguish the plan OF a town, streets,
squares and detached houses marking
the bed OF the lake. The ruddy
hue which characterized them
led the observers to suppose that the
buildings had been covered with the
famous vermilion cement which was
used by the Celts, Cimbri, and the early
Gauls. There are about two hundred
houses arranged over an oblong surface.
near the middle of which is a space
more open, supposed to have been used
for public assemblages. AT the eastern
extremity lies a large square tower,
which was taken for rock. A super
fetal investigation seems to indicate
that the construction of these buildings
dates from some centuries before our
era. The Council Of Vaud has decided
to have the site of the dwellings inclosed
by lefty stretching from the land, and
to drain off the water, so as to bring tC
light what promises to be one OF the
most interesting archaeological discov
cries OF the present time.
