The Chimes Trouble

LONDON, October S.-The Times dis
patch from Port Arthur says. There
are no signs of the French feet in this
vicinity. The European engineer and
artillery officers made this place enormous
ly strong and now are in command of the
Chinese forces here, who are well armed
and thoroughly drilled. If Admiral
Courbet attacks this place with his feet
he will certainly be repulsed. The Chinese
at Tamsui are strongly intrenched and are
vigorously resisting the French attack.
The Chinese General retreated from Ke-
lung on the town of Banka. Admiral
Courbet is in pursuit with 1000 French
troops. The French continue to declare
that a purely pacific blockade of the
Chinese ports will be maintained"

Some Chicago Workmen in a
Sad Predicament.
Floating on Lake Michigan in
a Shanty.

Their Death.
Ahoat on the Deep.

CHICAGO, October IA storm on
Lake Michigan last night blew away a
small shanty in which the laborers en-
ployed in the inlet to the lake tunnel at
Hyde Park were lodged. 1t was set on
piles in the lake about a mile from the
shore. There were sixteen menin all en-
ployed in the inlet, and by the carrying
away of the shanty they were left c~linging
to stringers on the beam in a most peril
Gus position. One man came ashore on a
plank near South Chicago. The Life
Saving crew went at once to the rescue.
Shortly before noon they succeeded in
throwing a line to the frail pier from
which the shanty had been blown. Eight
figures could be distinguished through a
field glass, clinging to the pier, which to-
gether with the one who foaled ashore
left seven unaccounted for.
The Life Saving crew have succeeded
in rescuing four persons and it is now
known that ten Of those on the frail pier
when the storm burst upon them were
drowned. The storm was one of great
fury. 1t blew up very suddenly and the
work Of destroying the temporary struct-

WASHINGTON, October s.-Judge Smell
rendered to-day a decision in the civil
rights case of Emanuel Hewlett (colored)
against John Fowler, purser of the Poto-
mac river steamer Jane Mosely. This
was a suit brought under the criminal
clause of the civil rights act for alleged
refusal to sell to plaintiff a supper ticket
on a passenger steamer plying between
Washington and Norfolk. Judge Smell
in rendering the decision said; 1.-The
burden of proof is on the Government to
show that Hewlett was refused a ticket
on account of his race or color. The law
has been declared unconstitutional 80 far
as the States are concerned, but as being
in full force in the District of Columbia.
If the charge was proven that the com
plainant was refused a ticket in the Dis
trict of Columbia l should have no hesita-
ton in giving judgment against the
defendant; but in this case the Govern
ment has not maintained the issue and the
defendant is discharged"

GUARDING THE ..GELD.y
Valuable Bricks From the Homestake
Mines Ready for Shipment.

From the Deadwood Times.
Five yellow bricks from the six mills of
the Homestake Company, of an aggre-
gate value of $l37, 900, were brought
down from Lead yesterday, and will go
east on the treasure coach this morning.
Although a similar shipment is made
every two weeks, it never fails attracting
a large crowd at the express office. The
bricks are brought down loose and
generally while so warm that they are
with difficulty handled. Upon each is
stamped the name of the mill hat pro-
daced it, and its weight in ounces. They
are at once taken to the rear of the ex-
press office by the FIVE messengers in
waiting, where they are wrapped in heavy
canvass, sealed and addressed. The
treasure coach differs from the ordinary
vehicle only in hat the center seat is re-
moved. The old Cheyenne Company ran
a steel lined wagon veritable fortress
on wheels-but such was discarded by the
Northwestern as Objectionable. The
coach en- route is a sure enough arsenal.
Rifles, shotguns, revolvers and any guam
tity of ammunition are everywhere visible,
while some one of the implements heavily
loaded is in the hands of each messenger,
who is ever on the alert for danger.

Judge Lee waived politics and admins

let a house and vent into bachelor quar-

and when October, cold and sere, came
on they felt the need of a fire. Necessity
is the mother OF invention and the Dago
was equal to the occasion. They used a
zinc for a hearthstone and on it kindled

naturally objected and the sons of Italy
