Revolutionary Outbreak In Hayti.

Revolutionary Outbreak In Hayt1.
New York, July 17.-Goll's NeDs Letter,
published at Kingston, Jamaica, in its issue
July Sd says: We learn by steamer Jamaican,
which arrived here yesterday from Port su
Prince, that in consequence of dispute in
the House of Representatives the brother of
the president was shot by another member,
who took otfense at the language which had
been used. Mons. Canal, though
wounded 10 the arm, returned the
fire and shot his opponent. There was
then general firing in the house and the pop
ulace and police outside fired into the build
ing. The president of the senate with 9th
ers were shot down, and when the Jamaican
left for this port the government troops
were raking the streets with mitraelleuse.
Same paper in the issue of July, says:
By arrival of the steamer Etna, from Port
au Prince on Sunday, we learn that q seri-
GUS fire occurred in that place Monday, the
Both ult. The fire originated from dis
charge of shells into the town. Several
blocks of buildings we're burned, number
of lives lost, and many per-
sons wounded, the inhabitants having
taken refuge in the hills. A widespread
revolution was considered imminent.
Several deputies of chamber belonging to
the liberal party who arrived on the steamer
from Gownanils finding the revolution in the
town of Port du Prince returned at once to
Gownanils by the German steamer Saxoni,
to take up arms against the national party.
When Etna left Port du Prince the custom
house was closed and all business
suspended and the place was still.

The New Directers-A Qualified Statement
That Nothing Has Happened.
Mayor Dawson received the following tel
egram yesterday from Philadelphia relative
TO the reported change in ownership Of the
Duluth road
PHILADELPHIA, July T.-Peter Geddes, J.
Millbank, David Bows and r. p. Flower have
been elected directors Of the Duluth road in
place of the Clarkes, Rollins and Whitney.
The road does not pass into the control of any
other corporation, but will be run as hereto
fore, for the best interests of Minnesota.
JAMES SMITH, JR.
This is certainly reassuring, but the fact
that the road does not formally pass into the
hands of another corporation does not pre-
vent it's being owned by the same men who
control the Lake Michigan lines and operat-
ed in their interests. The GLOBE, however,
is not severely alarmed on the subject. With
the decision of the courts on record there is
Q way.open to control the matter in the in
terests of the people. If the new manage
ment is wise it will not invoke this interior
ence by an arbitrary and unjust policy.

Tie Alleged Over Issue Of Bonds In Penn
sy1vania.

TIE Alleged Over Issue Of Bonds In Penn
sylvania.
BEDFORD SPRINGS, Pa, July lit is sup
posed the over issue of State bonds is fully
explained by the discovery Of book kept in
the State treasury, but supposed heretofore
not to have existed. By this book it ap-
pears that five millions of dollars of bonds
were issued of the date of 1852, and five
hundred thousand dollars of date Of 1853.
These bonds were placed in four hundred
thousand dollars, returned as sold, and re-
ceipt given to J. Bailey, State treasurer, for
the remaining 100000. This receipt re-
manned in the treasury until 1858,
when Henry s. McGraw, then State
treasurer, demanded the return of the bonds.
The bank, or its president, returned instead
of the bonds of 1853, $4,000 in money,
SOL, 900 of bonds of 1853, and $4,000 Of
bonds of 1852, making total of 300, 900.
The auditor generals Office at that time APP
pears to have noted the fact that 100000 Of
the bonds were dated 1852, but credited them
to the loan of 1858, thus making the loan of
1852 SIS 100000, and 1853 $426, 1000 instead
of 1852. $497 300 and 1853, $447, 900. Thus
the apparent over issue is simply more of the
issue of 1853, and less of the issue OF 1852;
one amount balancing the other.

Almost a Serious Accident.

Mr.. j. Snyder, the confectioner, No. Is
Wabashaw street, met with an accident last
evening, which for time was threateninpIy
serious. He, in company with lady friend, ,
was driving out on Summit avenue near
Carpenters tower. The view was taken in,
and having satisfied their eye for the beauti-
full with look all around the horizon, Mr..
Snyder and lady descended. The buggy
being reached, the horse was unfastened,
and the lady helped to seat in the buggy.
All Of sudden, the horse took fright and
started off with q rush. Mr.. Snyder
grabbed for the bit, seized it, and was
dragged some distrace by the maddened
horse. Though alarmed the lady didn't lose
her wits, but courageously came to Mr..
Snyder's assistance. She reached over the
dash board at the imminent peril Of falling
out, caught up the reins and yigor-
ously pulled to help check
the horse. Thus, with double
pull on him, the horse was checked and
brought under control. After order was re-
stored, Mr.. Snyder found he had been pretty
severely cut above The right eye and other
wise bruised by being more or less trampled
on. The lady escaped all injury except nery-
GUS agitation and anxiety.

The Chicago Cabinet Strike.

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE Southwestern
passenger rates from Kansas City to New
York, which we're recently cut by the Wa
bash, have been restored. In large meet
ing at which forty-eight of the principal
furniture establishments of the city were
represented, it was resolved this evening not
to accede to the demands of the striking
cabinet makers for the eight hour system,
and it was determined that ten hours should
constitute days labor as heretofore. The
opinion was general that it was better to
close business places than to give up to the
strikers. About half of the latter have re-
turned to work on the old conditions. The
mayor to-day accepted the resignation of
Deputy Superintendent of Police Dixon.

His Movements In st. Paul Before He
Climbed the Golden Stair.
The mysterious suicide of Thomas G.
Kidd, whose tragic death at Madison, Wis
consin, was chronicled in Wednesdays issue
of the GLOBE, has given rise to no incon-
siderable amount of local comment, as the
deceased was well known to quite number
Of people in this city. In connection with
the suicide the reader will recall number of
dispatches forwarded by the chief of police
of Dayton, Ohio, making inquiry as to the
whereabouts of Kidd, the full text of which
has appeared in previous Issues of the GLOBE.
In addition to the kilograms from the
police authorities at Dayton, a dispatch was
received by CHIEF Weber from Kidd's family
residing at that city, to the effect that one
of the members of his family was lying
dangerously ill, and urging Kidd to at once
communicate with his distressed and almost
distracted relatives.
One of the kilograms alluded to directed the.
police to enquire for Kidd at the residence of
a woman named Annie Brown, number 25l
Robert street. An officer was sent to the To-
cation indicated, but failed to elicit anything
approaching satisfactory information. The
sudden death of Kidd, by his own act, threw.
an additional glamour over the unusual af-
fair, and subsequent Investigations
by GLOBE reporter developed
some rather startling information.
DESERVING his family at Dayton, Ohio,
Thomas G. Kidd, brilliant young lawyer,
visited st. Paul, where an illicit liasion was
formed with then married woman, whom
he succeeded in divorcing from her husband.
After procuring the divorce the woman, Mrs.
Brown, resided at 251 Robert street, where
Kidd was an incessant visitor. The illicit
relations were kept up until Kidd's depar-
ture from the city a few weeks ago, since
when the whereabouts of the woman have
not been known, and nothing had been
learned of Kidd until the intelligence came
of his mysterious suicide.

The rye and barley harvest has commenc-

Isauk Rapids Denton county, Sentinel. July

If reports are true, and the weather con-
tinues favorable, the wheat crop in this
county will this year average twenty-five
bushels to the acre. The recent storms have
not injured the growing grain to any extent,
but more rain would without doubt work
considerable injury.
[Fairbault Republican, July 16.
Those farmers who have raised winter
wheat report fine yield. On some sandy
quick soils the wheat will be ready for cut
ting in about a week.
Hastings Dakota county, Union, July l6.
1t is now acknowledged by the most san
guine of our farmers, that with the most
favorable weather not more than half a
wheat crop can be realized. The wet, hot
weather for the past month has caused the
wheat to grow beyond its strength on the
richer pieces of land,and the lighter sections
are badly rusted in many places, and the
head at present has every appearance of
being badly blighted. It might do in some
cases to give false impression-thoug we
doubt it-but the best thing our farmers and
merchants can do at present is to look the
matter squarely in the face and make their
arrangements accordingly. 1t is better to
look for light crop and get heavy one
than to look for heavy one and harvest
comparatively nothing.
Lac Qui Parle (Lac Qui Parle county, indie
pendent, July IL.
Weather settled warm and pleasant; crops
are looking good. The farmers are getting
everything ready to strike into their wheat
as soon as it will do do cut, which will be
about the goth of this month. No rust,
graashoppers or damage by the late storm
in this county.

[Jord"n (Scott County, Advocate, July II.
From gentlemen who know whereof they

The Art Exhibition.

Last night the audience at the Opera
House was taken in more than imagination
up the Nile to the second cataract, 800 miles
from Cairo. In mole than imagination, for
s.the art illustrations were such in excel
lence as to present the wonderful scenery
and grand ruins of Egypt in picture nearly
approaching the real. At any rate
the fast appearing places of interest
of the journey were given with such artistic
accuracy, and in such detail, that they were
near akin to real, transferring, as it were,
Egypt to our sight, with all the comfortable
surroundings of the Opera House. Following
this exhibition, the Holy Land was traversed
to the equal qualification of the audience.
The pictures of tombs, ruins, pyramids,
churches, mosques, ETC., follow one another
in quick succession, one blending
into the other, aad throughout the exhibit
ton there was neither hitch nor halt to mar
the effect of successive production of
exquisite scenes. The manner in which the

taken through space, first emerging from

into a cloud, he emerged again
on his winged mission as the messenger of
Jove: and at each temperance he was less
in size, yet distinct in all his outlines and
beauty. Another fine effect was produced

than the accuracy seen in the familiar pic

the graceful female figure leaves the cross
for fight heavenwards; all these changes are
done instantaneously and without any inters
position of wells or darkness. Altogether
"the art illustrations" are aptly named, both
in the presentation of great works of art and
the artistic manner in which presented. The
regret is feelingly expressed that SO many
should have denied themselves the opportu-
nifty of seeing these illustrations, and per-
mitted the pleasure to be enjoyed by the few
who were present last night. However,
there's q saving clause to the regret, as
Paris, in all its wondrous beauty, will be
produced tonight, and the lost opportunity
can be repaired by large attendance.

DOWN IN THE DEPTHS.
Loss of an Ocean Steamship With Most of
Her Human Occupants


HALIFAX, July 1.-THE purser and boats
crew of the steamer State of Virginia land
ed at Sherbrooke Bay, left Sable Island Sun
day when all the passengers saved were well.
The weather had been fine since leaving
New York till they got into fog in which
the vessel went ashore Saturday night. As
sistance will be sent from here to PASSENGERS
on the island.
HALIFAX, July 1.-THE steamer State of
Virginia, from New York to Glasgow, went
ashore at Sable Island at 7:45 P. NJ. Saturday.
Three women and five children were lost in
the surf while landing. The vessel had "a
passengers, 1O4 head of cattle and general
cargo. Sixty cattle were saved.
The purser says after the steamer struck
guns were fired, which brought the governor
of the island, Mcdonald, to our assistance, in
surf boats. This boat took ashore eleven
women and four men, and the purser, four
officers and doctors, all of whom were safely
landed. The surf was very heavy. Two
boats left the ship with eighteen persons.
The second boat when fifty feet from shore
capsized, and all the occupants were thrown
into the water. Some of these struggling in
the water succeeded in clinging to the bot
tom of the boat, which presently was righted
and washed ashore. Those clinging to her were
badly bruised but thankful to have escaped
with their lives. The other beat went
around to the other side of the island next
day and all were safely landed. Monday
night the third officer, with the purser and
nine men, started in an open boat for the
mainland. The first night it was raining
and foggy and most uncomfortable night
was passed. Tuesday night they made the
mainland but the sea was running too high
to land. They waited till morning, when
they succeeded in landing safely at Fort
Beckerton and drove to New Glasgow,
whence they came by train to Halifax.
The vessel likely to be total wreck. -Four
women and five children lost. The names
of the lost are Miss M. G. Martin, boy
named Wilson, Mrs. Peden and two children,
boy named John Wedestrand, Mrs. NJ.
Glore, Miss German and Mrs. Walker. The
ship had eleven feet of water in the hold
when the boatj left the island. The purser
complains of the inhospitality of the people
on the road from where they landed till
they reached New Glasgow.
