JERSEY CITY, August 13.-Nlore wires
were cut in this city this morning. The
Central Railroad station at RoseIle was
visited and three wires were cut. To the
south OF Elizabeth more wires were sew
cred. The cutters evidently boarded a
milk train and rode to Jersey avenue in
this city, where thirtytwo wires
were cut. They then crossed the
Jersey avenue bridge over the ca
nal and severed thirty-fve wires.
Two Of these were fire alarm telegraph
wires, and the consequence was that
when the line was cut an alarm on the
bells was sounded. A gang of linemen
was sent over from New York, and they
crossed the Central Railroad ferry. On
TINS side they found waiting for boat to
cross to New York one of the striking
linemen. He is suspected of being one Of
The offenders, and will be arrested or put

Two Steps Taken by Pierre which May
End in AnglO-French Complications.
LONDON, August 13.-Lord Edmund
Fitzmaurice. Under Secretary for Foreign
Affairs, stated this afternoon in the House
of Commons, in reply to a question, that
the government was aware that Shaw.
an English missionary in Madagas-
car, had been imprisoned by the
French, but had received no
definite news as to the charge against
him. 1t appears, however, that Admiral
Pierre, the French commander, held him
to be guilty of what the latter considered
a serious offense. The government said
that the Under Secretary would communi-
cate with France on the subject
of the arrest of Shaw. Mr.. Glad
stone, in replying to question
put by Sir Stafford NOrthcote, said that it
was true that Admiral Pierre had issued
proclamation forbidding foreign soldiers
and sailors from landing at Tamatave, in
virtue of the French occupation of that
place, and added that certain questions
might arise hereafter in regard to the
terms of the OrOpIama tiOO

elevator. The ruins were cleared from
Decatur and Pryor streets to-day, so that
half of the street is passable. All the

The bank and Office vaults opened to-day
show that the books and papers were un-
injured. The loss by this fire to Atlanta
is now estimated at $1,5000 900. 1t is a
singular fact, however, that some parties
