charge of all claims for back pay and

succeeded to his present position he discOv-
cred that only a small percentage of the
audit claims and baek-pay bounty were get

claims of regular army officers for longevity
were pushed ahead as rapidly as they were
presented Mr.. Day at once directed
Judge Maynard's attention to this unjust
discrimination, and 4 halt was called.
Mr. Day says that while both sides shall be
treated with equal justice, if any prefer
ence be shown it will be in favor OF the
private soldier. whose necessities are pre-
sumably greater than those of his superior
officers. Moreover, the private soldiers
claims are in many cases twelve or fifteen
years old, while it is only a

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Aug. 2O.-The
meeting of the Western Lumbermen's
association to be held at Minneapolis to-
morrow, is awakening more than ordinary
interest among those engaged in the
manufacture of that product in this
section. The favorable prospect of an adj
vance of 81 or 81 per 1, 200 on certain grades,
and prOpGTtiOnate advance on
latin, pickets and shingles, is con-
ceded will rather stimulate than cause
depression of trade. At the
present state of manufacture by said mills
in this part of Wisconsin, and especially on
the Chippewa and tributary lodging streams
thereto, the amount of surplus
logs held over for the next sea-
son will be comparatively light The
enormous amount of 507, OOO, 900 feet of
logs have already been RATED and towed off

manufactured at points from Alma as far

other places along the Chippewa. The
amount left in hung-driveS and scattering

Good Work byku KIux.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Aug. 2O.-Thera
is intense excitement at Dalton, Ga, this
morning over visit paid that place by a
band of ku KluX last night. There wera
fifty men. well disguised, who entered the
city shortly after midnight. They visited
q house of i'll fame owned by Mrs. Jane
Kidd. and the woman and six girls were
dragged from their beds and each one was
given fifty lasheS. Some of the women
may die. The band then went to the house
of Tom Carver, noted thief, and beat him
to death after torturing him for half an
hour. Another negro, named Armsted,
was so terribly beaten that he viii die.
The mob then notified several persons to
leave the place at once, or they would be
killed. No clue can be had as to the iden-
tity of any of the band.
The party visited the house of William
Kidd i'll search of Bill Kidd q notorious
man. and twenty-five or thirty shots were
exchanged. 1t is not known whether Kidd
was hurt or not. The Kidd establishment
was demolished, it being very disreputable.
The mob took in all the disreputable houses,
regardless of the color of the occupants,
and then went to the mayors Office and left
a list of those under mob surveillance. The
whole affair was an effort to rid Dali

The mules were therefore hoisted from tie

HungarianS and POl&nders were put to
work about the mine, and although the
striking miners watched their movements
closely no disturbance occurred until late in
the evening, when the foreigners were at

scene crowds Of persons, and in less than
ten minutes the fight became general, and
was participated i'll by 100 men and boys.
All sorts of missiles were used, including
stones, clubs and fence rails. From ff-
teen to twenty-five persons were seriously
and several Hungarians fatally injured. AS
soon as one man became disabled he was
carried away and the battle renewed. The
Hungarians fought desperately and showed
q determination not to leave the place. Yes

have not yet been interfered with. An
other encounter is expected, however.

LONDON, Aug. 2O.-Hugh Brooks IS
doubtless identical with Maxwell. He was
formerly clerk in the Office of Brown 80
AmSWOrth at Stockport. About eighteen
months ago he passed an examination and
commenced to practice law at Hyde. He
met with little success. In January last
he announced that he had an important
law suit in Dublin, which required visit
to London, and he left Hyde, taking with
him trycicie and a photograph apparatus
belonging to DR.. SidebOtton of Hyde, hav-
ing evidently sold his own effects to pay
creditors. Shortly after Brooks departure,
a curate OF Hyde, who had been an inti-
mate friend of Hugh, also left the town
and the two men were seen together in
Paris, where they were giving Photographic
shows. The description given of Max
wells etfeminate manners and mincing
walk exactly
TALLIES WITH HUGH'S STYLE
1t IS noteworthy that Maxwell sold tri-
cycle in Boston, and that the number of the
watch he sold to a jeweler of st. Louis
agrees with the number, recorded in the
books OF Hyde matchmaker. of watch
which he had sold TO Hugh Brooks. The
portrait of Maxwell. published in a Wash
ingtOn paper, exactly resembles Brooks.
Hugh was about five feet six inches high,
ana had dark muStache and
square chin, with Supercilious
air and drawing voice. 1t is certain that
Hugh and Preller became acquainted in
England, and sailed for America together,
and it is equally certain that Hugh was
short of funds. The fact that Hugh dab
bled in chemical experiments makes the
chlOrofOm story plausible. Letters reached
Hyde which were dated at st. Louis a
couple of dlVS prior to the murder one com
tanning an Easter card addressed to Hugh's
former sweetheart. The case has aroused
much excitement at Hyde.
