the American Express company. was mar

took place at the Fargo mansion, and vas
witnessed by select company.
The affair is exceedingly romantic. Mrs,
Fargo's friends have tried every means in
their power to break up the match, and
about six weeks ago the lady authorized a
public denial of the existence of the engage

INTRA-MERcuRIAL PLANETS.

When the American astronomers re-
turned from the. observation of the total
solar eclipse of the 9th of May, at the
Caroline islands in.the South Pacific, it
was announced that one interesting result
of the observations was the failure to
see planet between. the sun and the
orbit of Mercury; and it was intimated,
therefore, that the supposed intra-Mer-
curial planet, Vulcan, was myth. But
the French astronomers were more fortu-
nate. Prof. Trouvelot saw two white
stars in the corona, and third red one
three degrees northwest of the sun. This
latter star was so bright and distinct as to
attract the attention of one of his assist
ants, who detected it with his naked eve
and spoke of it at the moment. This
seems conclusive of the fact that there lisa
planet between Mercury and the sun
probably three planets-and that the
name Vulcan is entitled to a place in the
planetary record. This planet was seen
by two American astronomers during the
total solar eclipse of 1873, but the an.
nouncement of it was discredited, al

ALL QUIET,
And Nothing New to Tell of the Tele-
graph Strike.

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-The wires of the West
srn Union and all the railroads were unmo-
Tested during the night, and the operators
were as positive as ever in their
assertions that the mischief had been done at
the instignation of the company to create a
feeling of irritation ON the part of the public
against the strikers.
The officials Of the Western Union were ne
cheerful as usual, the general superintendent
repeating his assertion of day or two since
to the effect that the receipts for last July ex-
ceeded those of the corresponding period of
the previous year by Sl2, 900, and expressing
the opinion that those of the present month
would be gathered in at q corresponding
ratio
An official of the Wabash road said that
the places of the two or three men who quit
work in their Chicago Office had been salts
'actorily filed, The Chicago 4 Alton peo-
Die again denied that any strike had existed
along their line.
The members Of the brotherhood are reti-
cent as to the extent of the late railroad
strike. TheEusual reply made to inquiries on
the subject is: ''Wait until the mail comes
in"
The men claim that the present month viii
probably be the last one that the Western
Union can struggle through, owing to the
number of ''scab" operators that viii leave
before it draws to a close. They say that
| about 90 per cent. of the operators now at
work are Young men and women who EN-
braced the opportunity offered them. of max
ing some extra money during the vacation.
These, the strikers say, are dropping off ons
by one as their leave of absence expires, ne
cessitating their return to their positions, and
the result will be that at the end of August
there will I've another urgent call made by tbs
company for more plugs to I'LL the vacant
places One of the brotherhood figured il
| that the Western Union was losing 81 900,
900 per week, and thought Jay Gould woul'
not care to keep that up very long.

THE FIRST PUBLIC PRAYER IN DENVER

Father Dyer, Methodist minister,
nowliving on the Divide, was the pioneer
preacher in Colorado. He will probably
offer the opening prayer of the approach
ing quarter centennial. 1t is related o.
Father Dyer that when he first landed in
what is now Denver he saw before him a
large tent and to that, supposing camp
meeting to be in progress, he wendell his
way. To his astonislIment he found
not camp meeting, but very extensive
series of games, such as faro, poker, keno
and the like, going forward. He remain
ed about the tent for forty eight hours,
looking very intently upon the progress
of the games. At the end of that period
he stepped upon table and said, in a
voice loud enough to be heared all about
him: Boys, have locked at your game
now for the. past eightand-forty hours.
Now ask you to give some attention to
mine. Let US pray" They had not before
known that the solemn-looking man was
a minister, but at the invitation hats were
taken off, chips were dropped, and all
bowed their heads in PRAYER, with Father
Dyer leading. And that was the first
public prayer uttered in the Pixies
Peak country After the prayer had been
concluded The games were resumed. =

The average American sovereign, while
a servant of the people would scorn to
pay railroad fare, but in England not even
the Queen is dead-headed. During the
last ten years her Majesty's car fare has
amounted to SAC, 800. But she is not
exactly an object of commisseration on
that account, If she does not have a free
pass, the government pays for the haul
ing and yanking about Of her special
trains. Some people are just mean
enough to think she can afford to pay her
own way, but it must be remembered that
she is a widow with large family on her
hands.

LoNDox, Atg. 9.-The News says: when
the witnesses in the great trial of five Jews
for murder, at Nyregyhaza, had all been ex-
amined the public prosecutor summed upthe
case in q remarkable address, that lasted
three-quarters of an hour His conclusions
were that the prisoners were not guilty, and
that they should be acquitted. BE rldiculed
the idea of ritual murder, which he stigma
TIED as an absurd production of superstition
of the middle ages, a silly tale, worthy only
of village gossips He protested against the
introduction of such superstition in the ma

it was that of Esther Solymoszi, the alleged

NOSE pnlLApgLpHIA SUITS.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug 9-Five*eivil suits
brought by Chauncey H Fuller, gensral
agent in this city of the Chicago Meat cont
pany, against the Western Union Telegraph
company, have been decided by Magistrate
List in favor of the company
The magistrate held that the act of the
assembly under which the plaintiff proceeded
did not apply to the case, that there was no
contract, as Fuller, in failing to leave either
his dispatches or the money for their trans
mission with the company's employees, failed
to comply with his part of the contract, and
that, therefore, the law binding upon the
company in respect to the delivery of mes
sages c0lld not apply to the case. Tie further
held that the law was intended to avoid any
possibility Of discrimination on the part Of
the company in favor of one sender over
another, and that it was doubtful whether
the general application of this restriction
which it puts on sending dispatches subject
to delayn-violated the provisions of that
law. FullerS counsel gave notice that the
case would be appealed
NO COMPROMISE.

himself ''P. D." en- the subject of compro-
mise. The article says; The telegraph
companies have been guilty of missile
meanor in refusing to receive and
listen to n body of men regularly appointed
by the majority of their employees, and ask
ing respectful hearing and consideration Of
their grievances Under the circumstances
the telegraphers could do nothing but leave
their instruments. The situation now is, the
brotherhood have made two requests to the
companies and no compromise can be eff
fected until the companies answer one or
the other, and evince disposition to confer
with them The action taken was forced
upon them and those who censure them would
do well to inform themselves as to the true
situation. aud then try the effect Of their
