MINNEAPoLIs, July %, 1SS4.-We
left Wilmin gton at 11.25 p. m. on the
18th inst, fifteen minutes behind time.
AT Washington we were an hour be-
hind, and at Grafton, West Virgins,
were two hours behind. The lost time
was partly made up, and we would
have reached Chicago on time, but for
hot journal. Our trip thus far was
varied, at first through very pleasant
vallies till we reached Cumberland,
West Virginia, where we commenced
seventeen mile ascent up the noun
tain.
Here the view was simply grand,
windening around one hill and then an
other, a small stream winding its way
along several hundred feet below us, in
which lay thousands of logs ready for
the saw mill. The hill sides were cover
ed with healthy trees of all sizes, and
presented rich and beautiful green ap-
pearance. AT the top of the mountain
are fine hotels occupied by pleasure
and health seekers with grounds fine.

of tall trees.

journey lay over another series O
mountains, coming down which was 81
rapid, and the train swung from side, II
side, almost enough to cause sea sickness
which sensation quickly disappeared oil
reaching the plain below, where tn,
Ohio river soon appeared in view.
We reached Chicago at 8 a. m, the 21s
inst, and after spending twelve hour
in viewing the various attractions of thu
city, by invitation of the Illinois dele
gatiCn, we took n special train of parl0l
cars for Minneapolis via, Milwaukee,
and st. Paul On the train was Gene
raj John A. Logan, who was heartily
cheered by the people wherever W.
stopped.
On reaching Minneapolis we found
good quarters and soon commenced
shaking hands with comrades from
Maine, Vermont, New Jersey, Colora
DO, California and all parts of the UniOr
whom we had met ayear ago at Denver
and two years ago at Baltimore.
In the evening we attended camp a
the fair grounds, where the amphithe
atre or grand stand was crowded will
thousands of people waiting for thl
appearance of Gen Logan, who seemed
the principal attraction.
lie was greeted with tremendous on
thusiasin and three rousing cheer
from very patriotic crowd of com

sOmethIng Tor workInxmen,

The following, from last Saturday
evenings Washington Star, will NJ
doubt be read W ith interest by Ameri
can mechanics and laborsrs
The bill to prevent the importation
of foreign labor TO this country undel
contract, which passed the Houst
during last session, faile to secure con
sideration In the Senate. There exists
consequently, nothing to prevent tht
continuance of this trade, and firm
in this city has prepared to embark il
the business, with view of supplant
ing American labor with workmer
frOm Europe.
The scheme is to import Welsh and
Italian labOrers to work under coutrac
at low wages. W. II, Main, real es
tate agent, is at the head of the con
cern, and his agents are in Europe
making arrangements for the shipping
of laborers to this country. They pro
pose to establish a " Labor exchange .
at the st. Charles hotel, kept by {
brother of w. X. Main, not far from
tile Capitol. The plan is to keep q
number of laborers and dOmestics of al
kinds to meet all demands, and to re
plenish the stock by fresh shipments
as they are needed. The managers will
issue circulars TO contractors all ovel
the country, offering to give them {
superior class OF labor at low rates o
wages. They will not, Mr.. Main says
conilne themselves 90 common labor
ers, bat will get skilled workmen VIII,
will be willing to work for low wagel
TO get f0otholl In this cOGntry.
Mr.. Mains chief associate in this en-
terprise il said to he German named
Kroth, formely an itiuerant preacher
He has now gone to Europe, where he
will preach to the laborers of the ad
vantages to be derived from coming B,
this country. To the skilled lahore
they will offer special inducements
promising them permanent employ
ment at wages much better than they
can get in their native land. He saw
also that hundreds of farmers here
want to sell their farms for want Of
help.
Mr.. Main says he can afford To pa,
skilled European laborers much hiehe
wages than they can get at home ant
still put them to work here for enougl
less than the regular American wages
In connection with this they propos,
to run a colonization concern TO brini
over foreigners, chiefly Germans, VIII,
have small capital, TO take up Western
timber lands. Mr.. Main says the,
have as much as a hundred thousan,
acres in a single region, which will b.
be applicable for this purpose.

York, Pa. July 28.-In Spring Garden
township, about five miles from York,
in what is called the Glades, Mrs.
Adam J. Miller was shot through the
body last night while holding her sick
infant upon her lap. She will in all
probability die. Suspicion points to
the brother of Mrs. Miller's husband,
upon purely circumstantial evidence,
however.
The event has caused much excite
ment in the helghborhood and in this
town. The supposed assassin is named
Plus Miller, young man twenty one
years of age, son of wealthy and re-
spectacle farmer, living in the neigh
borhood of the tragedy.
He has always borne good charac'
ter, but has, however, always been
considered m0nomaniac upon the
subject of witchcratt and has for years
accused his sister'in-law of bewitchinE
him. Upon several occasions, it Il
stated, he has threatened her life.
SO fearful has the supposed assassin
brother been for the security of his wifi
that for some time he has gone, with hi
wife, child and baby, TO his wife's resi
dence, in the neighborhood, for safet.

of paper etc. There was no one in the
mill when the fire started, Mr.. Duwd
and his workmen being engaged in re-
pairing the2am breast which had been
washed out by the flood. The ORR
gin of the fire is, therefore,
unknown, although it is supposed
to have been started in the rag cutter
from matches contained In the pockets
of old clothing, as fires from this source
are frequent. The entire mill was
ablaze in few minutes after the fire
was first discovered, and nothing was
saved. Particles of paper were blown
on the air for several miles, and a man
working in his field near Toughken-
namon found them dropping about
him. The mill was four story struc.
ture, and was built many years ago.
There was light insurance and the
loss will fall heavily upon Mr.. Dowd.

encampment of the Grand Army OF

said that while in Minneapolis
he had made special inquiry

Among the more distinguished OF those
whose views were obtained were Gene
