Dorsey's New Occupation - Going to
 ChInkHis Log Cabin.
 LITTLE ROCK, July 15.-Ex-C Congressman w. Jasper Blackburn, editor of the Free South, makes public the following letter from ex Senator Dorsey:
 WASHINGTON, June 26, 1883.
 My Dear MT. Blackburn am deeply lation, but for the consistent and manly way tice against an insane mob of infamous libel lers. Congratulations have come to me from all over the country and from Mmost every country in Europe. I would like to tell you all the details that brought out what was first called a mountain of wrong, but which has turned out a molehill of nothing. I know it would be interesting not only to you, but to every decent man and to every honest government in the world. It is just possible that I may shove the branding iron of justice across the sleek vanished table of infamy some of these days If ever do, the hot iron of truth will leave marks scorched with intamy. would write you more fully, but after three years find it necessary to chink the logs of my house in New Mexico and arrange for my family for the winter. Everything there is run down and Il sscarcely know whether I will have to rebuild the loghouse or do as we have done before-1ive in tent. I start to night for that distant and lonely place with the hope that myself and family may be permit ted to reside in this remote canon of the Rocky mountain with spy or detective at our heels. s. W. DORSEY. To Hon. W. Jasper Blackburn.

 Inferred Together.

Eight people jumped from the windows and were more or less in- iured, William Wright, commercial travel CT, fatally. A dispatch from Waverly dated midnight last night, but delayed by wire troubles, says: The remains of the three victims of the Cokato confagrAtion were brought here on the noon train to-day. On their arrival they were placed in the depot in a rough box and the friends of the deceased quietly assembled. It was impossible to identify the corpses, which were charred be- yond recognition, the head, arms and legs being gone from each one. The combined weight of the three was about sixty pounds. They presented a sick ening sight. On consultation the friends coffin. A casket was procured and the frag ments of each were wrapped in thin muslin and placed therein. The grief of the parents of the young men was distressing to witness. The wife of Nottingham was ab- sent. having, as reported by Montrose par ties, become insane. The funeral proceeded to the Catholic church here and the funeral services were held. One of the dead men was Catholic and the others Protestants. Just at dusk the interment took place in the cemetery in the outskirts of Waverly where a large concourse of friends had gathered. Kelley met his death on his nineteenth birthday and had the night of the fire occu- pied the bed with twin brother. Yelling ham leaves wife and five children in poor circumstances.

A Bold Robbery-One Man Ransacks 8
 Spectators in Check.
 SAN FRANCISCO, July 15.-A despatch from Tombstone states that last evening about 8 o'clock while s. Marks, 8 storekeeper at Contention, was waiting on 8 customer two horsemen rode up to the front of the store the customer, who had two children with him, pointed two pistols at him and told him to stand still. The other horseman also en- tered the store, ordered the clerk to come from behind the counter aud placed him alongside the first capture. Marks was next ordered to open the safe and be quick about it. Marks proceeded to obey, taking his time but was induced to hurry up. The safe was finally opened. Marks pulled out some silver, offering it to the robber, who con temptuously said he did not want silver and proceeded to inspect the safe himself. The drawer held $2, 300 in gold and greenbacks. Marks suggested to leave some money, to which the robber demurred saying, "You have big stock of goods" At this juncture who knew nothing of the proceedings, came suddenly into the store, but was stopped by a rap on the head from pistol and ordered to hold up his hands and take his place in line with the other captives. After vainly ransacking the store for more paunder both robbers mounted their horses and rode off across the river, leaving Marks poorer by $2, 300. Both robbers were masked and there is no clue to place their identity.

 RICHMOND, July 15.-The manager of the Richmond theater has engaged Mrs. Lsng- try for one week in December. People here think Mrs. Langtry has not visited the city before because of fear of comparison with Richmond beauties She has resisted all of fers to come till few days. Some interest is felt as to how Mrs. Langtry will be re- ceived by the creme de la creme of the Rich mond society. The efforts of her friend and companion Mrs. Labouehere to get from the courts here 8 divorce from her first hus- band are still fresh in the minds of the pub lic. AS the ladies were intimate before they came from London it is generally believed that Mrs. Langtry must have been acquaint- ed with her companions social life there.

 NEW YORK, July 15.-At the meeting of the Central Labor Union to day Denis Kearney with few followers presented him. self for the purpose of making speech and & motion was made that he be accorded the privilege of the floor. In an instant the hall was the scene of the greatest excite ment, at least dozen delegates jumping up at the same time to oppose the motion. One delegate addressing the chair said: 1T should like to know what trade union MT. Kesrney represents, if he has any credentials and who paid his expenses to New York. am opposed, said the delegate, ''to grant ing the privilege of the floor to any person who is not one of our body as the union would be held responsible for anything that might be said" A number of other dele gates opposed the motion and for several minutes the greatest excitement prevailed. A delegate named McGuire said that it would be an injustice to the organization to allow MT. Kearney or any of his class to address them and he trusted they would not be made the tools of any political trickster. ''There were thirty six trade unions in California and MT. Kear- ney did not represent any of them, said the speaker, ''and move that the floor be de- nied him" (Groat spplause) The motion was put and carried amid great excitement and the ''sand lot'' orator with his followers left the hall, evidently greatly disappointed. A few minutes later Kearney hired another hall in the building, where he summoned about fifty of his admirers. After com planning of the manner in which he, had been insulted in the hall below, he dwelt at considerable length upon the greai amount of labor he had performed on behalf of the working classes. He then touched upon the railroad labor question and said: 1T intend to agitate the regulation of railroad corporations through out the country and call upon the wage workers of the United States to regulate the corporations in the interest of higher wages hold the same views now in regard to the question of labor and wages that l always held and have bigger following than all the down stairs crowd put together. 1 propose to address meeting in New York in the course of few days and these men that in- suited me will have an opportunity to hear what have to say"
 A member of the assembly, Stephen May ball, also addressed the meeting and in the course of his remarks said that they intended to have corporations regulated by the United States and to make the question of wages and labor a national one.
