and Thrown a distance Of feet
Cause of the Trouble

New YORK. Aug. 2-Jay Gould was
this morning accosted by Major A Selover,
a friend of Jim Keene, the Californian.
while passing through Exchange Place.
Words were exchanged, when Selover
struck Gould one or two blows on the side
of the head, and then picking hin; up
threw him down an area way distance of
s feet. Gould vas rescued by some
friends and was found uninjured, with the
exception Of few bruises. He was able to
walk to his office. The trouble is said to
have originated from Gould's having be-
trayed the combination to put up the price
of Lake Shore, in which Keen and Selo-
yer were interested with Gould There
was considerable excitement on the stock
exchange for few minutes, as it was
rumored Gould had been grievously
injured.
New York, Aug. 2-Selover thus ex-
plains the causes which led to the personal
encounter: Il helped Gould, at one time,
out of the tightest place he was ever in,
and | told him if ever | found him de-
ceiving me would thrash him, and have
done it. He tried to make me sell stocks
when he was buying, aud in doing 80 tried
to over reach me. | told him | would
thrash him, aud l. have kept my word, even
it he could not keep his.

crate amounts Of whisky two or three times during
the day In q little while those who adopt this ad-
vice frequently increase the number Of drinks
and in time become confirmed inebriates A bev-
erage which will not create thirst for intoxicating
liquors, and which is intended especially for the
benefit OF debilitated persons, whether at home or
abroad, is DR.. SchPnck's Sea Weed Tonic. Con-
tanning the juices of many medicinal herbs, this
preparation does not create appetite for the in
toxicating cup. The nourishing and the life sup
porting properties of many valuable naturvl pro-
ductions contained in it and we'll known to medi-
cal men have q most strengthening influence. A
single bottle of the Tonic will demonstrate its val
uable qualities. For debility arising from sickness
over exertion or from anv cause whatever, a wine
glassful Of Sea Weed Tonic taken after meals will
strengthen the stomach and create an appetite for
wholesome flood. Eo all who are about leaving

ST. Louis Strikers to be Released on So 900
Bonds.-The Coal Troubles in
Southern Illinois

ST. LOUIS, August 2,.-Judge Cady. Of
the court of criminal correction, has de-
cided upon $4,000 as the bond necessary
to release the members of the working
men's party, against whom warrants naye
been issued. 1t is not probably they can
procure so high bail, and they will there
fore remain in jail.
The coal miners Of ST. Clair and Madi-
son counties, Ill have reconsidered their
demand of cents per bushel for digging
coal. and reduced the price to cents, with
the guarantee from the mine owners that
that rate shall stand one year. The own
ers accepted the 3 cent rate, but refused
the guarantee, whereupon many of the
miners resumed work at cents without
the guarantee, and it is believed all of
them will do so in day or two.
