A Remarkable Recovery.
Special to the Globe.

Special 10 the GLOBE.
OIL CITY, Pa. Aug. 2S.-Henry Sutton
is seemingly about TO make one of the most
remarkable recOveries on record. A little
more than two weeks ago, while engaged
i'm agitating an oil well, owned by Collins
IL Thompson, at Stone hill. near Warren,
he attached an iron rod, known as the pol
iSh rod to the stand-pump line, and lowered
il to the bottom OF the well. A sudden rush
of gas threw the rod from the well,
and about thirty feet into the
air and in falling il struck Sutton on the
right side Of the neck, came out on the side
below the breastbOne, entered again at the
hip and emerged from the flesh below the
knee. The vital organs were not penetrated.
but it was thought there was very little hope
of his recovery. In spite OF this Sutton has
continued to improve, notwithstanding the
feet that his physicians say that 995 out of
every 1000 such cases would die in less
than minute after the accident. and that
il would be almost impossible for even 4
knitting needle 10 follow the course through
a mans body which this iron did without
entering a number Of large arteries, whereas,
the rod which passed through Dutton was
three-quarters of an inch in diameter. A
dispatch from Warren to-day says: ''Dut-
ton is getting along nicely and gives every
indication of a rapid recovery. He sits up
in bed and smokes, a habit which has a
very strong hold on him, but it mas been a
source Of strength rather than anything
else /"

The wheat is all cut in Wnkin county
and rough estimate of the average yield
in the county is fifteen bushels to the acre.

than last year, but the wheat averaged
much lower than last year. .. Mr.. q. w.

Gossip About the Convention.

Special to the Globe.
WATERLOO, Ia, Aug. 2S.-A large
number of delegates from the northern part
of Iowa to the Republican state convention
passed through this city to-day on their
way home from DeS MOineS. They seem
to be well pleased with the doings of the
convention. The nomination of Hull for
lieutenant governor was accounted for on
the ground of the demand for a soldier on
the ticket, and he being a candidate for
governor had a following which would
thus in 4 manner be satisfied. ID. B. Hen
derSOn, who was here, was interviewed in
regard to the BTOwn-Sherman controversy.
and said that several gentlemen. among
them Jacob Rich and Senator Wilson, had
labOred hard To bring about a settlement
of the matter. but in vain. \ proposition
was made that both submit their legal
differences to 4 committee, and that Brown
should subscribe to an affidavit which was
attached to the proposition. This agree
ment was signed by Gov. Sherman. but
Brown declined. When asked whether
any settlement of the matter was probable
Col. Henderson said: Il don't know. |
don't hardly think there will be under the
present administration If Mr.. Larrabee
is elected, what will follow" he was then
asked. Il guess that he will fix the matter
pretty quickly" he replied. but declined to
intimate how il would be fixed. Another
delegate said that the committee on reSOlu-
tons had prepared a resolution depreciating
the trouble and recommending that the mat
ter be referred TO the next legislature. 1t
was the intention that this resolution be
submitted to the convention after the plat
form was adopted, but when that was done
experimenting commenced and the TeSOlu-
ton, by some means, was forgotten.

Trouble About Grain Grades.

FARGO, Oak, Aug. 2S.-The Argus

bushels of wheat threshed he shipped forty
five cars TO Duluth. The first eighteen
were graded No. hard. When, il is said.

shipment was Scotch Fife, although grad
ing No. hard, wheTeupOn the remainder
of the forty-tve ears were graded No.
Northern, making difference to Mr.. Green
of about S1.5O0. These "A. ZOO bushels
averaged over twenty-five bushels per acre,
and Mr.. Green expects to have 10, 600 bush
els. He has 240 acres of Saskatchewan hard
wheat, which has been popular in North
Dakota the last year or two but under the
last ruling will not probably go No. hard,
because of the action of the Minnesota state
board in establishing the rule that at least
as per cent. must De Scotch Fife. II is be-
lieyed the board did not fully appreciate the
circumstances when they made this rule, as
one kind of hard wheat is as good as
another. Mr.. Green thinks the rule will
make difference of hundreds of thousands
Of dollars to North Dakota. and action
should at once be taken TO correct this state
of affairs.

COuIdn't Kill Him.

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 2S.-William For
man of New Orleans came here yesterday
from Fallulah Falls for medical treatment.
He tells most wonderful story, all of which
has been Substantiated. While climbing I'D
the rocks at the side of the falls his foot
slipped, and he fell, rolling down an incline
of 400 feet and then fell over precipice
376 feet. He fell into a soft marsh, and
for more than thirty hours remained where
he fell, unable to move and almost too weak
to call for assistance. At one time he saw
members OF rescuing party within thirty
yards of him, but was unable to make him
self heard. Fortunately, he fell near a
small stream, and managed to obtain water
by dipping his handkerchief into the water
and sucking it, lie also spread the hand
kerchief over his face to shut out the rays
Of the scorching sun. With his teeth he
tore off pieces of the alpaca coat which he
wore and made sort of pad for his head to
rest upon. The distance he fell has been
measured, and all his statements have been
fully proved.

Married His Niece.
Special TO the Globe.

CpNSiaI W NAS NaODS-
RICHMOND, Ind, Aug. 2s.-This even
ing middle-aged, pOorly-clad lady. who
was apparently i'm deep distress, came to the
county clerks Office and asked concerning
a marriage license that had been issued TO
Rue Lee and Martha Slick last Monday.
The record was produced and such = license
was found to have been issued, and the afii-
davit was made by John A Stout.
The wonan's name is Mrs. Slick,
whose residence is near Spar
tanburg, Randolph county. Being
a widow in poor circumstances. her seven
teen-year-Old daughter, Martha, was a
great help. Her uncle is Rue Lee, wild
over SO years old, and man Of consider
able means. Martha and Lee were very
friendly, but no one for moment supposed
that this was anything more than the friend
ship of relatives. One day last week
Martha .came TO her mother with a mar
riage certificate, showing that she had been
married to her uncle, Rue Lee. The girl
said that she had been threatened, coaxed
and bullied into eonsenting to the mar
rage, but after its consummation the
horror of the situation burst upon
her and she left her husband at once
with the statement that she did not know
what she was doing when she married him,
but that she would never live with him and
would apply for divorce as soon as posi-
bic. Mrs. Slick says Martha is but II years
Old. and the resident of another county.
She will bring criminal action against Stout
for alleged perjury in swearing TO an afii-
davit for marriage license. Lee is a man
who has quite an acquaintance in this part
of the state, and bears fair reputation. \
gentleman who is acquainted with him says
he is not full uncle to the girl, but more
BY law than blood, and whether he can be
punished for incest or not is a question.

Corn is doing nicely, and with few days
of favorable weather will be out of danger.
-. Considerable threshing is going on at
present. There is quite difference in
the grain yield this year. Some farmers
come up TO the crop of 1884, while others
get as little as ten bushels to the acre.
Taking it all together, the yield is consid-
erably less than 1854, and the quality not
as good. Mayor George F. Strait has
appointed the following delegates to the
Mississippi river convention: Hon. j. L.
Macdonald, judge of the district court;
Hon. Ii. j. Peck, state senator; Julius A.

LabOring Men Slyindled.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-One or more EN-.
ployment agencies in this city have adver-
tised for large numbers Of laborers to 90 to
Manitoba to work on the Canadian rail-
way. The statement is given cur
rency here to-day that vast num-
berS of laborers have been recently shipped
into that far-away region only to discover
that it was impossible to procure work there.
They declared that this shipping of la
borers into that locality results only in great
disappointment and distress to the victims
of what they look upon as an organized
swindle. In published statement, Frank
Mccartney Of Eau Claire says of the adj
ventures OF 400 men who were taken out by
an agent: Nobody would give us work
of any kind. Only a portion could even
get shoveling. The contractors said they
knew nothing about us. We had great
difficulty in getting back over the 1000
miles to Winnipeg again. but managed to
get passes as far as Winnipeg. There
were about 200 of us back in Winnipeg by
July 20, with no prospect at all of work
of any kind. The public authorities fed
us until Aug. 2, when we had to look out
for ourselves. Only comparatively few of
US could get away. Some of my COM
paniOns pawned their watches and theil
tools to get money to get back to Eau
