ADenIal from servIa.

BELGRADE, Nov. 1.-THE Servian
government denies the Bulgarian re-
port that Servian troops are crossing
the frontier. The State Of Seryia has
no need to invent a casus belli, as Bull
garia has given Seryia ample grounds
to declare war when the proper mo-
ment arrives.
Servia refrains at present from attack
ing Bulgaria, for special motives
which she regards with great solicl-
tude, and which Bulgaria ignores.
Servia proposes state policy, while
Bulgaria follows revolutionary one.

Labor Troubles.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, Nov. 9.-Out Of
a force of about five hundred miners
in the Hooking Valley & Ohio Central
regions less than two hundred were
engaged. The influence Of the strikers
has extended to the furnaces. All
have closed with two exceptions, and
it is expected they will shut down this
week. The operators claim that the
only thing for them to do is to close
their property. The Columbus. Hook
ing Valley & Toledo railroad has dis
charged train men and shop hands to
the number of several hundred in
order to save expenses. There is an
inclination on the part of certain
element among the miners to reinau-
gurate vandalism, and already two or
three attempts to destroy mine proper
ty have been frustrated.

Human Bones on Roadside,

LINCOLN, ILLS, Nov. 11.-To-day as
DR.. Houser was riding along a lane
east of town, his attention was
attracted by a pile Of bones near the
road side. He stopped, examined
them, found that many were human
bones, and he brought them to town.
The discovery started consid-
erable speculation. A boy named
Petit comes nearest solving the
mystery. He says some time ago he
and a companion Lea Barnes were
gathering old bones to sell, and going
to what is known as the Abbot place,
found a lot Of bones under the smoke
house. They put them in a bag and
started to town, but got tired of the
load and threw them down by the
road. One John Haines lived at that
place from 1872 until 1880. He was a
terror to his neighbors because Of his
vicious habits, and is known
to have killed several persons
in tE town and was himself
killed Kansas about year ago in
a difficulty with a neighbor. The con-
clusion Of great many Is that Haines
was another Bender, and that these
bones are the remains Of his victims.
An examination Of the premises Will
be made this afternoon.

DIeCldl 10 COMMERCIAL hcItllu'
JACKSON, MISS, Nov. 9,-The su-
preme court to-day decided two impor-
tant points relative to whisky petit
tions. One that petitioners in heading
their petitions should go strictly ac-
cording to the code and that it Was
not enough to say petitioner was a
sober and suitable person to receive
such license. but in addition to this
must be recommended as Of good repu-
tation. When license is granted by the
municipal authorities to au applicant
who has not complied with these pro-
visions and counter petition is filed
the record may be removed to the cir
cult court by certiorari aud judg'
ment Of said court quashing the order
granting the license is proper dispo-
sition. The second point decided is
where a firm desires a license that
each member must be named in petit
tion, otherwise signers could not tes-
tity as to the fitness prescribed by the
code. The license could not for this
sreason be granted to A. Lobe q Co., as
The petition did not disclose the names
of the persons composing the firm.
w. H. Tarrant, recently arrested
here for passing counterfeit money, TO-
day plead guilty. Sentence has not

THE GREAT ACTOR DEAD.
Scenes Around the Death-bed of
John observation-disclosures and
Fellow Actors to Erect a Monu-
ment.

New York, Nov. 9-Specials from
Philadelphia have the following de-
tails of the last hours of John NJ
Cullough: Friday night last his con-
dition assumed a threatening aspect
and the long expected crisis had come.
Afterwards the peculiar respiration
again set in. He continued in this
condition during the night. A few
minutes before 8 o'clock yesterday
morning his attendant was giving him
medicine when suddenly the muscles
Of his throat refused to perform their
functions, they having become in an
instant paralyzed. The patient became
unconscious and remained so until he
died. When he became unconscious
injections of brandy and ether were
made over the pecloral muscle near his
heart and injections of ether near the
arteries in the neck. This had the ef-
feet of lengthening his life short
time, but was of no avail. During the
morning Mr.. McCullough's two sons
came into the sick room for a last
look at their father, and stayed only a
few minutes. His wife stayed with
him until he died. At the last mo-
ment his wife, his sister, Mrs. West,
DR.. Engel and the nurse were the only
persons present. That peculiar Tespi-
ration which is almost invariably a
forerunner Of death set in, and the
patient assumed the appearance of
one dead. His muscles became
rigid, and suddenly his right leg was
selzed with convulsiye twitching. By
unceasing exertions Of his uttNdants
the crisis was safely passed, and re-
freohing sleep came to his relief. Sat.
urday was passed quietly by the
patient. His mental faculties were
brighter than any period during his
illness. He took cognizance Of all
that passed around him. He took food
and medicine normally, and retained
all the muscular power he had regained
before the attack. His wife visited
him during the day and spent several
minutes at his bedside. He recognized
her, and grasping her hand, made an
effort to speak, but without
avail. Shortly before s O'Clock
in the evening his nurse noticed his
pulse had fallen to about sixty beats a
minute; and in a few minutes he died
without a struggle. His breathing
growing slower and weaker until it
ceased altogether. After death his
features retained natural expression
and he appeared as if sleeping. 1t has
been decided to hold post mOrtem
examination, and full synopsis of the
case. An important one from medical
standpoint will be made. While the
tragedian lay dying groups of neigh
bors stood in the rain around the doors
and anxiously awaited latest news
from the sick room. Much sympathy
was expressed for the family and the
utmost precautions were taken
to prevent noise in the street.
No arrangements have been
made for the funeral, except
that his body will be placed in vault
at Cedar Hill Cemetery, Thursday.
Robson, Crane, Florence, Colyer, and
other fellow-actors and friends propose
erecting a monument to his memory,
and until the location is selected the
body will remain in the vault.

conference of free traders and revenue
reformers met in Haverley's Minstrel

Some routine business was then
transacted. after which the re-
port and address Of r.. r. Bowker,
honorary member of the conference,
was read. Nh Bowker stated that
there were State organizations in be-
half of revenue reform q
thirteen States and local or
ganizations in many other States
Most of these are in relation with the
American Free Trade League, which
is now organized as a National associ-
alton. Mr.. Bowker hoped this con-
ference would select man from each
State who would become the promoter
of the organization throughout his
State, and its general representative in
relation to the free traders, the neces-
sity Of planning for great campaign,
the first step towards which is raising
fund of $4,000, which will be
needed this and next year in
view of the congressional elections Of
1886. One-third Of this sum is already
pledged. We will show before New

bound themselves to the boat, while
the remainder held on like grim deash
to the sides, expecting every moment
to meet their death, either by drown
ing or from exposure and cold. The
half dead inmates were borne on; once
the boat was turned over with the
waves and one of the crew washed
away, but the craft rlghted itself and
was swept on In darkness. After an
half hour the boat suddenly struck the
rocks. The inmates feared all was
over with them as the craft capsized,
but to their surprise, when thrown out
the water was only foot deep, and
they discovered they were on land.

FROM SHREVEPORT.

Negotiations Between the Bond
holders and Shreveport g. Houston
Narrow Gauge SettIed--An Inn
portant Suit--OrganizIng an As
sembly of Knights CT Labor.
Special to the Commercial Herald.
SHREVEPORT, La, Nov. Sat
torney VIM. H. Wise, representing the
Shreveport & Houston narrow gauge
railway, returned from New Orleans
this morning and reports the recent
negotiations between the bondholders
and Capt. Simon Levy, receiver, as
settled, and the proper orders for the
turning over Of the road will soon be
issued by Judge Aleck Boarman Of the
United States court.
An important suit has just been filed
in the United States court here which
involves titles to about one hundred
and eighty-six acres of land within the
lower corporate limits, known as Silver
Lake property. The parties suing for
the ownership are the heirs of the late
w. W. Smith some of them residing
in Kentucky and others in Denver,
Col. The tract claimed as stated above,
is within the city limits, is immensely
valuable. The claim of the heirs is
based on a patent from the United
States to their ancestor in 1855. The
land is now held by the Vicksburg,
Shreveport & Pacific railway, which
claims ownership by virtue OF a grant
from the United States to the State Of
Louisiana in aid Of railroads, and the
point OF difference seems to
be whether it is swamp and
overhowed land or comes under the
designation of shallow lake lands.
If the latter, it is claimed, it did not
pass to the State under the act dona-
ting the swamp and overAowed lands
to the State by the general govern
ment, hence There is great interest
manifested in the suit by a large num-
Der of citizens in property built upon
it. A. II. Leonard and Land Il LaWd
represent the plaintiffs, and Wise &
Herndon are attorneys for the railroad
company which now hold possession.
Quite a large meeting of working
men was held at Ross Hall tonight,
for the purpose of organizing an
assembly Of the Knights of Labor.
Mr.. George Freeman presided and
Mr.. Morris MasterdOn acted as secre-
tary. After the reading Of the pre-
amble, etc, Of the general order and
remarks by several present, the meet
ing adjourned till Monday night next,
for permanent organization.

Report Of the National Cotton Ex-
change.

NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 9.-The report
of the National Exchange for October
says of the cotton crop: Picking has
progressed satisfactorily during the
past month, the proportion of the crop
still remaining in the field being sen-
orally estimated at about one.third. IT.
Texas and Mississippi the weather has
been almost exceptional for this work,
while in portions of Tennessee, Ala
bama, and States east of there has been
considerable rainfall with some heavy
storms along the Atlantic seaboard,
and excepting Georgia complaints are
numerous in consequence. In sec
tions only has the crop made any.
During October Louisiana and particu-
larly Texas being more favored in that
respect. Killing frosUs have been re-
ported in localities in every State
ranging in date from October 10th to
Goth, and were most frequent in Ar
kansas, Mississippi, Alabama, North
Carolina and Tennessee, while only a
few instances thereof are cited in
Texas. Expectations foreshadowed in
the last report have been fully realized
in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ar
kansas and Georgia, but in the States
bordering the Atlantic unfavorable
surroundings have prevented any out
come to a plant whose condition at the
beginning of October was somewhat
uncertain. Alabama also is disap-
pointing, for though in the more north
erly portion the crops show decided
Improvement over last year, in the re-
mainder of the State, embracing some
Of its not largest cotton counties in
the entire cotton belt, the result is
such as to give about the same yield
per acre as in 1884.
