An OvER.OFFsCIOUs DEACON.

William M. Nelson, of San Francis
CO, published what purported to be a
true history of the career of l. S. Kali
bch, Mayor of the city. Kalloch as
ssrts that what is said of him in Neil
sons pamphlet is outrageously false
and libelous, but he took no steps to
prosecute his alleged libeler. A MEM

ticed, and instituted proceedings
against Nelson. He seems to be act
ing in good faith, though laboring I'M
der the delusion that his pastor has
been grossly slandered Kydd engaged
a lawyer to prosecute the alleged libel
CIR, who appeared to be not only willing
but anxious to be tried for libel. His
counsel says he is ready to proceed
with the defense, and to prove the
truth of what is charged to be libelous
ia the pamphlet. Kalloch also engaged
counsel, not to prosecute Nelson, but
for the purpose of having the complaint
withdrawn and the case dismissed
This Kydd, who appears as the prose
cutor in the case, will not consent to,
and the over-officious member of Par
son Kalloch's flock is getting his pas
tor into an ugly scrape, which may
result in having the contents of the
pamphlet proved in open Court. 1t is
not always advisable in these days for
church members to have blind and i'm
piicit faith in the rectitude of their
shepherds, as it is too apt to lead to
revelations which the shepherds do not
care to have made public.

j. A. Garfield, who represents the
Ninteenth Ohio District in Congress,
was nominated at Chicago this after

OF the United States. He was born in
Cuyahoga county, Ohio, November 10,
1881, and is graduate of Williams
College, Massachusetts,. He was Pres
ident of literary institution in Ohio
for several years, and was ordained a
preacher. He quit the pulpit to prac-
tice law.

as Colonel of the And Ohio volunteers
and was promoted to the rank of
Major General in 1868. He was elect
ed to the Thirty-eight Congress,
and has had a seat in the House
of Representatives since that time.
He echoes the sentiments of Sherman
on the Silver bill, and is on the record
against the Chinese restriction bill.
Ills course ON the De Gollyer bill is not
above suspicion, as he accepted a fee of
s., 900 to urge it's passage by the law
making body of which he was then a
member His skirts are not as clear as
Edmund's, who, if honesty had been
the test at Chicago, would have dis
tanced all competitors.

More Cinnamon ON the B0die Road

Fifty more Cinnamon left Wads-
worth last Sunday in freight wagons,
to work on the Bodie end of the pro-
posed extension of the Virginia and
Truckee Railroad. We are informed
that the Chinese contractor says there
are about five hundred Cinnamon on
the way to Wadsworth to be sent to
the front. 1t appears, notwithstand-
ing what has been said to the contrary
by Sharon, Mills and Company, that
TIE greater part of the road will be
built by Chinese labor.

LouIsvILLE, September l0.-This morn
ing at half.past an alarm summoned the
iire department to onR Of the most disas-
trous scenes OF destruction by Gre that has
occurred in the city for some time. When
the engines arrived on the scene and 1t
became known that Finer Bros tobacco
works were in flames, a second alarm was
Immediately turned in. By tho time the
steamers had arrived the flames had gained
such defiant headway that oil attempts Of
the fremen to check the Gre in lis onward
course OF destruction were futile. The
combustible matter with which the factory
is at all times necessarily bountiiully sup
piled, was readily destroyed. The whole
iirst floor was enveloped IN fire when the
first engine arrived on the spot. Large
tongues Of kissing flames leaped through
every outlet Of the large spacious building
and piercing it with their intensity Of light,
before reinforcsments could reach the
firemen the entire building was wrapped
In flames, and in less than a halt hour was
a mass OF ruins. The building was en-
tirely Of brick and I've stories high. The
large drying room In the back was filled
with leaf tobacco, and large quantities Of
manufactured plug was stored in other
parts OF the building. Several sharp ex.
plosions from the bursting Of barrels filled
with gpsollne were heard during the fire,
which added much 10 the excitement
around the fire. n. Finser stated to q
reporter that The establishment as It stood
was worth over 10000. Mr.. Finzer
could not say how much stock there was
in the house, because the tobacco stock
could not be kept up Yith. resdlly, but
there was somewhere between 60GOD and

FINGER said was either $4,000 or S72 600,

Guardian correspondent at Ragusa tele-
graphs on Wednesday as follows: AT the
twelfth hour the Turks have taken action.
To-day Ria Pasha dispatched Ave bat.
talions from Scutari to effect the cession Of
Dulcigno. Ria Pasha has been latterly
trying bribery successfully on the more
turbulent Scutarine Chiefs. The eneour-
agement the Porte has hitherto given the
Albanians must, however, still render Its
real intentions doubtful. Should the Al
banians execute their threat to op-
pose the Turkish troops the Porte
may yet wash its hand oi the
affair, urging the impossibility OF coercing
the Mussulmans. I came here through
Montenegro from Dulcigno, as the league
there informed me that owing
10 the influx OF fanatics from the intarior,
they could no longer guarantee my safety.
The spectacle OF q combined European
fleet riding in the harbor is magnificent.
The Russian Admiral, who returned
Tuesday from trip to Cattinje, says the
Prince Of Montenegro is not prepared to
use force TO gain Dulcigno because he
fears that 1t would provoke a general Al
banian invasion OF Montenegro. The Al
banians are encamped in the mountains.

are not agreed as 10 the landing OF the
