nominated Hon. Samuel w. Hale for
governor, on the fourth ballot. Ed
ward J. Tenney, b. w. Hoyt, and Still
man Humphrey were placed on the
ticket for railroad commissioners. The
platform indorseS the protective tariff,
American navy and merchant marine,
and applauds the president for vetoing

Yellow fever of the most malignant
type has broken out at Mier, Mexico,
about one hundred miles below Laredo,
and the citizens are fleeing. There are
many patients at ranches on the Texas
side of the Rio Grande. The Mexicans
can hardly be made to appreciate the
danger of lax enforcement of quaran-
tine regulations. 1t is now announced
that hundreds are PROSTATE at isolated
localities in the state of Tamaulipas.
A plan to rob train on the Missouri
Pacific road was communicated to the
officers in good season. The route agent
of the Adams Express company select
ed squad of men and boarded the
train at ChOuteau. AS Vinita was left
behind two robbers caught Conductor
Warren on the platform of the smok-
ing-car and shot him in the face. The
detectives then opened fire, killing one
of the raiders and capturing the other.
There are alarming rumors in re-
gard to the health of Samuel j. Tilden.
1t is true that Mr.. Tilden is in the dis
ordered nervous condition which pres
ages softening of the brain. A consul
tation of physicians has been held, and
the statement is made that while his
brain is. seriously affected he may pass
away within week or be spared for
several months. An intimate friend
says the sufferer has put himself in
waiting for death.
Hon. Abraham s. Hewitt appeared
before the tariff commission at st. Paul
as an expert in iron manufacture, and
declared that there was no reason for a
duty on foreign ore. He urged the free
admission of scrap-iron and the reduc-
ton of the duty on steel to $14 per ton.
Mr.. Sanborn, president of the st. Paul
chamber of commerce, said men of all
parties in Minnesota thought the pres
ent tariff higher than is necessary. The
commission will spend the rest of Sep
TENDER in the southern cities.
An order for forward movement of
the British forces at Kissassin has been
issued by General WOlseley. The tents
and baggage will be transported by
rail. Boats have gone up the fresh
water canal to blow up the dams con-
structed by the Egyptians. Lieutenant
Commander Casper +. Goodrich, an
the British army, has arrived at Alex
andria. The very latest bulletin states
that the British were bivouacking along
the line facing Arab Pasha's front,
with orders to reach fighting distance
early Wednesday morning.
Intense excitement has been created
at Putnam, Connecticut, by the arrest
of G. F. Willis, trial justice and deputy
United States marshal on charge of
burning block of stores to defraud the
insurance companies. The detectives
developed the fact that the accused has
for years been connected with gang
of bank thieves in Boston, and caused
bogus robbery to be committed by them
to show the judges completely, forcing
from him confession that almost from
his cradle he had been an incendiary
and thief.
Arabi's attack of the English forces
near Kassassin Saturday morning was
q disastrous move. The British success
was complete. the Egyptians leaving
200 dead on the field, while the English
loss was slight. -Four Egyptian officers,
who surrendered at Ramleh, say Arab
has but 5000 troops at Kafr-el-Dwar.
A feeling of irritation is apparent in
Turkish official circles at the hardness
of England in signing the military con-
vention. Great difficulties are ex-
perienced by the English troops while
on the march from excessive heat. The
Highland brigade suffered severely
from this cause.
A masked mob from the country
gathered at Washington, Indiana, ear
ly Sunday morning, with the intention
of lynching John Hunter, who muir
dered William LeutZ. The sheriff had
quietly garrisoned the jail with thirty
armed men. The vigilantes displaced
the ropes of the fire and police bells,
fired volleys to brighten citizens, and
sent fifty men over the Jail fence.
Three attempts to force the doors were
unavailing, and the appeals of the
sheriff and prosecuting attorney caused
the mob to dispense. Hunter lay
crouched in his cell all day.
General Wolseley advanced upon
the Egyptians opening fire when the
British were one mile distant. The
place was captured by charge, the
struggle lasting only twenty minutes.
The loss of Arab Pasha is estimated at
two thousand men, besides forty guns
and three thousand prisoners. The
number killed on the British side was
about two hundred. Arab is said to |
have escaped on horseback to ZagaZig, !
while his men fled toward the desert,
holly pursued by the Indian cavalry on
the south and the British cavalry on
the north. The Egyptian regiments
are credited with cowardly behavior,
while the black troops from the Soudan
fought bravely, and the rebel artillery
was well served. The khedive's band |
headed a procession at Alexandria |
which INDUCED in jubilee over the vic
tory of the British. General McPher-
son pushed forward and occupied Zaga-
tig, capturing five railway trains.
