MOrmons May Make Trouble.

OMAHA, Neb., July 16.-Gen.
Howard, commanding the depart
ment of the Platte, e,returned to Oma-
ha last evening from Salt Lake City,
in which place he spent the Fourth
of July. He says there is grave ap-
prehension there over the feeling ex-
:sting between the Gentiles and Nor
mons over the half-masting of the
American flag. Gen. Howard says se-
rious trouble may occur at any hour
on the slightest pretext. The Gen
tiles and United States soldiers are
very indignant.
In anticipation of an outbreak
being precipitated any day the War
Department has made preparations
for it. BY order of Gen. Howard
the troops that were to leave Fort
Douglas and Fort Laramie for Kan
sas to suppress the Cheyennes have
been retained at those posts. A col
lision between the Mormons and
Gentiles is looked for on the oath of
this month, which is great day
with the Mormons, it being the an
niversary of the settlement OF Utah.
They come into Salt Lake City by
the thousand on that day from all
parts of the Territory. Should they
attempt to repeat any such per.or-
nance as they carried out on The
Fourth of July, there will probably
be bloodshed.

The First of the Kind.

ed somewhat like pug-dog. 1t is
four feet in length, and the largest
part of its body is four and one
quarter inches in circumference.
When it whistles or sings it makes a
series of jumps like a frog.
The head snake professor of the
Smithsonian Institution is now at
Woods Hool, Mass, and it will
probably be sent there for his ex-
animation and classification. 1t is in
shape and color altogether different
from any of the African singing
snakes, and besides issues louder
and more harmonic sound than is
recorded of any of the classes of
snakes that are found in the East
Indies. A similar character of a
snake is said in books to be befrequept-
ly seen on the Island of Sumatra.
So far this is the first singing or
whistling snake that has been found
in this country. The man who cap
tured it supposed he was chasing a
young mockingbird.

Six Perish in the Flames

CLEARFIELD, July 17.-Last night
about eleven o'clock the residence
of Josiah NJ. Evans, a small two-sto.
ry log hut, three miles from Gra-
hampton, Clearield county, was des.
troyed by fire and six of his chill
dren, ranging in age from SIX to fif
teen years, cremated. Evans was
awakened by strange noise and un-
der the impression that burglars were
abouttook his gun and went ont side
to investigate. To his horror he dis
covered his humble dwelling in
flames. He quickly gave the alarm,
but before he could reach his six
children, who were sleeping on the
second floor, the roof fell in and in
a few minutes the building was all
ablaze. His wife and three younger
children, sleeping on the lower floor,
we're taken out safely, but the par
ents we're forced to see the others
perish in The flames.
This morning intelligence of the
fearful calamity spread rapidly
throughout the county and hun
dreds were soon drawn to the scene.
The mangled remains of four of the
children, charred and unrecogniza-
BILE, were gathered up and buried in
one coffin. The other TWO were ap-
parently reduced to ashes, as no
trace of their remains could be
found. The parents are crazed with
grief and the whole community is
excited over a horror which has no
precedent in Clearfield county. The
father insists that the ere was un-
doubtedly the work of an incendiary
and in this opinion others share.

DAvESroRT. Iowa, July ia
strange story of the disappearance
off party of six Germans in Chica-
go July 2 isbrought to light here by
the offer Of q reward of 500 for any
clue to thar whereabouts. Chris
tan Paulsen, who offers the reward,
came to this CITY three months ago
from Schleswig- Holstein and bought
a farm near the city. So well did
he like the country that six weeks
ago he sent Tor his brother, Nico-
lima Wacker, to come over and join
him. Nicoiina at once made ready
and started for this country. With
her came Peter Bekrens, John Jun
ge, Anna Ross, Anna Hensen, Mary
Hass and Margarita Elleson. all
young people. The party reached
New York about the end of June
and bought tickets for Davenport.
They arrived in Chicago on the
morning Of July 2 over the Pitts
burg and Fort Wayne Railroad. At
the station they took transfer hacks
for the station of the Rock Island
Railroad. over which line they were
coming to Davenport. Behrens en-
tered one hack and Junge and the
five women another. Behrens arri-
we'd at the station safely, but his
friends did not. He waited while
for them and then spent the balance
of the day searching the streets for
his friends. At night he gave up
the search and took a train for this
city, where he arrived the next day.
He found Paulsen and told him
the story. Upon the advice of
friends Paulsen waited for week,
hoping to hear from the missing
people. Then he sent a representa-
tiveto Chicago, and the police in
that city were given notice of the
disappearance. They were unable
to find the slightest trace of the mis-
sing Germans, none Of them could
speak English. Pqulsen is in dss-
pair at the loss of his sweathearS
and everybody interested in the
whereabouts of the party is mysti-
fed by their disappearance.

LABOR RIOT AT CLEvELAND.


CLEVELAND. July 15.-The quiet
that has prevailed among the roll
ing-mill strikers for several days
was broken by conflict with the
police at 5 o'clock this afternoon,
from which both strikers and police
bore away serious injuries.
A meeting of the strikers was held
in Newburg, and several reporters
who entered were savagely thrown
out. After the meeting seven hum
dred men, mostly Poles and Bohe-
mians, formed into line and march
ed to the plate mill, which was in
operation. The men in the plate
mill are not affected by the reduc-
tiou and were opposed to stopping
work in the first place. They were
forced out finally by the foreigners
and remained idle until yesterday,
when the mill resumed operations.
The mob increased in numbers as
it progressed, and when it arrived at
the mill it aggregated at least one
thousand men. The strikers were
armed with clubs, studded with
nails, pieces ofiron and large stones.
The fifty policemen on duty were
supplied with maces. twenty-five
inches long,and seliacting revolvers.
They were stationed at the -Etna-
street entrance to the mill yards.
A picket fence fifteen feet high en-
closes the grounds. The gate was
open and near it were the police.
Etna street at this point is sixty
feet wide, and is paved with cinders
and Stag from neighboring furnaces.
Thirty-four additional policeman
were scattered in the mill.
At 3:45 the patrolmen were order
ed home to rest preparatory to going
on duty tonight. They started
down Etna street and met the strik-
ers. They turned and double quick
ed it to the mill. They were hooted
and stoned by the strikers. Deputy
Superintendent Mcmahon gave or
ders to fall in, and line was form
ed about thirty feet from the mill
gate. The mob approached, and
Mcmahon asked what was wanted.
One of the leaders replied that they
were determined to close the mill.
The police officer argued with them,
but to no purpose The men in
the rear ranks began to throw stones,
there was considerable hard talk, a
push forward, and then rush. The
police advanced and the two forces
met. The strikers threw stones, Stag
and cinder, and fiourished their
clubs. The police used their maces
and drove the strikers back inch by
inch. The strikers fell by the score
or reeled away with blood stream
ing down their faces. They poured
a terrific shower of stones. however,
into the police, but could not use
their clubs to any advantage. Fin
ally they fell back very rapidly, and
the police seeing their opportunity,
charged on a run, yelling as they
went. The whack of their maces
could be heard for long distance.
The fallen strikers lived on Etna
street, and their wives and sweet
hearts bore them away as fast as
possible The mob broke and ran,
but the police kept up an untiring
whack until every striker was driv-
en- out of sight of the mill.

General Grant Weaker.

MI McGREGoR, July 1S.-Gener.
al Grant slept less than usual last
night, owing to the sitting closeness
of the atmosphere, which rendered
sleep well nigh impossible for the
members ofthe Generals family and
others on the mountain. The pa.
tient was quiet and without pain
and dozed much of the time but
did not enjoy his sound sleep until
late. and then had only had about
four hours of solid sleep. His pulse
this morning was about so, and,
although he was feeling listless, as a
result ofa restless night, he showed
little weakness.
This morning he left his room at
about 6 o'clock and went to sit on
the veranda in the cool morning
breeze. He spent the day quietly
on the piazza and in the cottage, and
retired between s and 9 O'Clock. He
is weaker tonight than for several
days past. DR.. Douglas anticipates
a quiet night.

The Defuncr Cambria Bank.

JoHNsTowN, July l7.-Assignee
Stutzman of Mahlon w. Keim, OF
the deiunct Cambria County Bank.
began selling Keim's real estate in
this county Oh Tuesday. and has
now sold all except a small piece OF
land in West Taylor Township. The
actual price brought is about 50, 500
less than the appraisement. There
is preferred creditor to the amount
of $4,000, and deducting this sum
and estimating the amount likely to
be realized from the unsold proper
ty, the assignee will probably have
$4,000 to pay debts of over SIG, 900.
Two months ago two or three Een
were buying the banks paper at
fifty cents on the dollar, and many
sold. The final distribution will not
be made until the Fall of 1887. The
claims of creditors range from five
cents to $4,000.

JOHN ROACH FAILS.
The Great Sh,pbuiIder Forced by Sec
retary Whitney 20 Assign.

New YoRK, July 1S.--Lightniug
ont of clear sky could not have
been more unexpected than the ans
nouncement that John Roach, who
was considered one of the richest
ship builders Ia the world, lad fail
ed. A club man whose knowledge
of and interest in public aiiiirs has
given him a wide acquaintance with
business men Of the country, ex-
pressed himself thus to reporter !:
THE announcement of the failure
is indeed startling news to me, as it
undoubtedly will be to thousands.
But if you will think moment you
will come to the same conclusion as
myself, namely, that it is nothing
more than could be expected under
the circumstances. Secretary Whit
ney's action in regard to the Dol
phin was the entering point of the
wedge which has parted Roach from
his financial moorings. The repeat
ed trial trips of the Dolphin; the
adverse decision by the members of
the Examining Board, and finally
the decision OF the Attorney Gener-
al, that the contracts held by Mr..
Roach authorizing him to build four
steel cruisers, now nearly completed
in his yard at Chester, are null and
void, was enough to ruin most any
man.
MILLIONS IN GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS.
Mr. Roach has expended in the
construction of these four vessels
SIS, 100000 or s20,000,000. Now he
finds that he has on his hands some
$40, ,000,0 worth Of ironclads which
the Government will not buy. Mr..
Roach has undoubtedly made large
loans on the strength of his con-
tract with the Government, which
ne cannot now meet.
This evening Mr.. Roach and his
two sons went to Flushing, l.. L.,
where the family resides durisg
summer. Mr.. Roach refused him
self to callers during the evening.
Garrett Roach said on his fathers
behalf: Father has nothing to say.
His physical health is such that he
is crushed beneath the blow which
has fallen on bim. He will not see
or talk with anyone. OF one thing
you may rest assured, no one will
ever lose a dollar by him; but in
the complications which have arisen
in his business, and the claim of the
Attorney General that there are no
contracts for the building of these
vessels. be has been compelled to
place his property in the hands of
trustees Whatever may become of
this trouble, you may rest assured
that justice will be meted out to all
to whom my father is in any way
indebted
