Sam Cannon won't shoot off his

A couple of railroad hands, Thomas
Conley and James Cox, came into the
city yesterday, and after mixing drinks
for couple of hours tried to inaugu-
rate a camp meeting in Beal street
saloon. They sang a song the police

fine Of s. each was paid to. day.
At 800 Main street, last night, E.
Miller became cnraged because other
boarders in the house intruded on his

to cut the throat Of the intruder, who

her rescue. The hermit wanted to cut
his throat too. The timely arrival Of
an officer put an end to hostility, and
Miller was fined 500,

A Question or Two.
Wall Street News.


The agent of a minstrel show VINO
was travelling over the Pan Handle
route the other day happened to take
a seat opposite a Boston drummer.
Each wore a pin with six diamonds
in it and Displayed two watch chains.
The coincidence happened to strike a
solid old-fashioned farmer as rather
curious, and hitching up to the pair,
he asked:
Gentlemen, will you give me an
honest answer to a question or two?"
They said they would, and he con-
tinued
What time is it by your four
watohes2"
The agent replied that he only had
one watch and that didn't tick, while
the other confessed that he had none
at all.
'One more question. Did you buy
your diamond pins at the dollar
store?'
The two men looked at each other
in a troubled way, and then informed
the blunt questiouer that he had
reached the limit.
"0h, wall, l didn't intend to be
sassy. he remarked, as he tell back,
I'm sparkling a wilder up in Wood
county, and | was a thinking that if
l could buckle on a dollar diamond
and harness two watch chains around

ELECTRIC STORM.

That impOnderable, yet invisible
agent, electricity, diffused itself
through all nature yesterday in sufi-

object free evidence of its presence.
1t exerted an unusually powerful
influence upon people who are suffer-
ing with rheumatism, or who have
crippled limbs and possess nervous
temperawents, and was general topic
Of discussion in many circles to-day.
1t is well known to those who have
studied the subject, that every sub
stance in nature retains a certain
quantity Of electricity, though some
substances, such as glass, oil silk, dry
air and others, known as non couduc-
tors, obstruct its passage, and that its
velocity, when not obstructed, is so
great that the most rapid motion pro-
duced by art appears To be at actual
rest when compared to it. Its speed
through copper wires has been com
puted at more that ten times round the
earth in second, and with iron wire
its movement is from 1900 to 10000
miles per second. The operations Of
natures electrical phenomena have
in many cases never been SATISFACTORY.

THE ELECTRIC STORM.
Interesting Experiments With
the Telegraph.

New York, November l8.-The
electric storm yesterday extended
from Boston as far west as Ogden,
and this morning its influence is still
felt in certain localities, so that tele.
graphic communication is consider
ably interrupted. Various expert,
ments we're tried by telegraphers dur
ing the prevalence of the storm to
work the wires and dispose of the great
detriment to business, but with little
success until it was discovered that
by taking two wires from the ground
between any two given points and
joining their euds together, a circuit
was formed that could be operated.
In this way eight wires between
Buffalo and Chicago were made to do
service. Four electricians seem to
agree that the disturbance was unlike
any heretofore experienced, as it ap.
peared to act on the wires in strong
waves causing a constant changing of
the current.

Great Brltain's Convention With

THE COST,OF OCCUPATION.

By Cable to the New York Herald.
LONDON, November l4-In the
House Of Commons to-day Mr.. Glad
stone made statement relative to
Egypt. He said that there we're now
only 1900 troops there, but the pres
ent state of things was provisional.
The government had no idea Of allow
ing so large a force to remain there
long. The next step would be to con-
clude convention relative to a tenn
porary arrangement for the security of
the country, including the charge for
the maintenance Of the troops. Dir.
Gladstone said the convention fixing
the time OF the occupation and
the payment therefore By Egypt
would be modelled on that
concluded with France after
the battle Of Waterloo. He
stated that the Convention would be
presented to the House when con-
cluded, but he was unable to say that
It would be ready this session. Her
Majesty government had not arrived
at any decision that it would be
desirable to claim from Egypt the
expenses of the war as distinguished
from the expenses of the occupation.
Mr.. Stafford Northcote protested
against the reticence of the govern

tunity Tor discussing the subject of

THE CONTROL.
The Paris Figaro publishes
special dispatch from Cairo, stating
that the English and FreDch govern
ments have come to an understanding
in regard to Egypt. England, as a
compensation for the abolition Of the
dual control, offers France the Pres
idency Of the Public Debt Commission,
which M. Bredif will assume. Other
question concerning the organization
OF Egypt will be treated in concert
with all the European powers, whose
approval Mr.. Gladstone believes as
sured. The story is semi officially
denied. Up to the present time the
French government has not accepted
the English propositions touching
Egypt.
REORGANIZATION.
Baker Pasha's reorganization of the
Egyptian army has so far progressed
that 1000 men have already been sent
to Soudan. Sulciman Daoud and
Moussa ell Akad, who are accused of
completely in the burning and pillage
of Alexandria, have arrived there
from Crete and have been forwarded
to Cairo under guard. An official in
the Ottoman telegraph service has ar
rived in Egypt and asked the permis-
sion of the government to establish
telegraphic communications between
Constantinople and the Hedjaz, ,hy way
of the Soudan.
