cident happened at Himmetberger & Co. s
saw mill, located at Burlington, a station
twelve miles east of Dexter, a man by the
name of Baines being struck In the left
side by a piece of timber thrown i'm some
way from The saw. The timber, which
was smaller at one end than the other,
entered his side just below the nipple and
penetrated him through and through,
coming out on the other side. Drs. Ken.
dial. of Sikeston, and Bartlett, of Poplar
Bluff, were called and the timber re-
moved. The doctors have no hope oil
his recovery, but he is yet alive and
seems to be getting on very well.

A PLEA FOR HELP.

a Vivid Picture of the Destitution Caused
by Drought in stephens County, Texas,
Which Appeals in Clarion Tones to the
Public Sympathy and Purse.
DALLAS, Tex, Aug. 27.-HOn. E. L.
Walker, County Judge of Stephens Coun
tv, arrived i'll the city yesterday, the
bearer of an appeal from the county COM
missioners of his county for aid to avert
the restitution prevailing in that county
on account of the protracted drought. He
made the following statement, which al
most pictures Sahara of desolation;
'sThere has been no seasonable rain
in the county for the last fourteen
months, as the result of which crops
are a failure, while the ground, denuded
of grass, presents the. appearance
of desert, with only post oak
and mesquite leaves for cattle to live on.
Fully a third of the population have
abandoned their homes in search of labor
and food; many more would, but can not
for want of means, and numerous fami-
lies are actually suffering for the neces-
saries of life, beyond the possibility of
local relief. In fact, there is neither
grass nor food in the county. / can not
state the percentage of cattle that have
unless good fall rains intervene, or
ranges are found, not head of cattle of
Stephens County will pull through the
winter. Lots of people in the county
have not had bite of bread for weeks,
and meat is even scarcer than bread.
Many cases of individual suffering have
been brought to my attention, but suffer-
ing is general, and unless the people are
shipped out of the country or provided
for against the winter, they can not
possibly survive that season. The situa-
ton is far worse than it has been repre-
scented. I have resided in Stephens
County twenty seven years, and this is
the first year that has been attended with
a complete failure of the crops.''
Judge Walker added that Shackelford,
Young, Palo Pinto, Throckmorton East
land and Baylor Counties are in very
bad way.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-The Critic
publishes the following respecting the
recent reappointment of Mr.. MATHEWS to
the position of Recorder of Deeds for
the District of Columbia:
The following is an exact copy of the
Presidents letter on file in the office of
the executive clerk of the Senate:
To THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES:
nominate James G. Matthew WIS. of New York,
to be Recorder of Deeds in the District OF
Columbia. vice Frederick Douglass, who has
resigned.
TSienedl GROVER CLEVELAND.
Executive Mansion, Washington, March
1886.
There are no conditions accompanying
the Presidents letter as to vacancy ex.
listing; for he says Douglass has resign
ed. The subsequent action of the Presi-
dent in commissioning Matthews Re.
corder of Deeds was therefore to fill a
vacancy, which happened while the Sen
ate was in session. This action
brings both the President and Mat
thews under the penalties of Sec
tons Nos. 177I and 1772 of the
revised statutes. and the conditions are
aggravated by the fact of Matthews hav-
ing already been rejected by the Senate.
The continuance of Mr.. Matthews to act
as Recorder of Deeds under these cir
cumstances, is not unlikely to create
much commotion If not some very seri.

So Low That MANY Have Returned
IN EovaIox. e0mnaFiaa.


PIrTsBuRa, May 24.-There is such a
scarcity of miners on the Monongahela
river reported that less than one-third of
the mines between McKeesport and
Brownsville are in full operation. The
operators give several reasons for this
condition of affairs. Some attribute it to
the fact that during last years strike
large numbers Of miners obtained en-
ployment at other places and did not
return to the mines after the strike, while
others put ii down to the long dry spell.
The miners explain the fact by saying that
the difference of one-fourth cent in wages
in favor of the railroad mines has caused
a large migration from the river to the
railroad. Another reason given by them
is that miners in England, Scotland and
Germany have been so well posted by
their returning friends on the present
state of the American labor market that
the stream of immigration TO this coun-
try has been practically stopped. Many
miners from those countries who had
been on the river for several years have
returned home disguised at the low rates
of wages now ruling.
