It has leaked out that naval cadets Wsich, Waters, Gillespie and Steber went into the room of Cadet Lewis Driggs, at Annapolis, for hazing whom Cadet Wiler was recently dismissed, and gave hIm thrashing. Driggs made a statement of the affair to Capt Ramsay, and the belligerent cadets will have to face court-martial. Iu the meantime a second claSsman is de- tailed daily to protect Cadet Driggs, and the members of the second class are highly indignant because one of them is kept on guard at the door of a fourth class man, and they intend to send a protest to the Secretary of the Navy.

squire and Flynn.

New YoRK, Sept. Gan interesting ques-
tion has been prompted by the action of
counsel for Squire and Flynn, and several
outside parties who may be drawn into the
case are OF the opinion that Messrs. Strahan
and Newcombe, their counsel, will appeal
to the encouragement to appoint a pros
ecuting-attorney to represent the people in
place of the district-attorney or his aids.
Judge Gildersleeve is to be witness for
Squire and Flynn, and probably high Off.
cals who are close to District-Attorney
MARITIME may be called. In that event, it is
claimed that Mr.. MARITIME is not proper
person to act for the prosecution. That
Squire and Flynn are armed for the fight
cannot longer he doubted. Their counsel
say they will appeal from Judge Churchilrs
decision although it gives them just half
OF what they asked for and is u practical
victory over the district-attorney's Office.
They will go before the general term of the
supreme court next month and move for a
change of venue to Il court OF oyer and ter
miner in some other county and the decis.
ion there will be final. There are seventeen
idicted al,lermen OF the 1884 board await
ing trial in oyer and terminer. The ques-
tion now arises, who will be tried tirst-the
aldermen who have been under indictment
for several months or Squire and Flynn,
against whom indictments were found only
few weeks ago? A groundless rumor was
started to-day that Squire had run away.

Success Of the Bond Call.

WASHINGTON, u. c., Sept. 4.-Treasury
officials profess to be very much gratiiied
at the evidences of success in the expert
ment tried this week of getting ) per cents
redeemed by voluntary proffer from the
holders. They express the belief that near
" ii not quite the entire ten millions, pro-
offers of which were invited on Monday last
will be received for redemption before the
10th of this month. SO far something less
than II million OF bonds have come in, and
the treasury officers think they will
come in much more rapidly next week.
Their expectation is based upon the idea
that holders very generally realize that all
Ol the . per cents will be called in during the
next twelve months, so that many holders
will endeaVor to make Il change OF invest
ment as speedily as possible. One of the
objects in inviting voluntary proffers was
to ease the situation somewhat for the
national banks, enabling those holders not
at present able to effect the desired change
of investment TO take more time, while
others who are in "a better situation will
supply the treasury with the necessary
bonds to useupwhat { of surplus cash is now
available. The bonds that have come in
so far, it is stated, have been sent largely
by insurance companies and other coIpor-
ations Of that kind in New York, Boston
and Philadel phia. They see opportunities
now that interest Is n little high to MAKE
better investments. and, of course, under
stand il is better to do this while they can
than To wait until these bonds are called
when the opportunity may not be so good
The effect upon themoney market will also
be much more satisfactory ii this plan oi
calling bonds succeeds, as the payment oI
bonds belonging to other holders than the
national banks throws the money more di-
rectly into circulation than where the bank
bonds are paid.

ARKANSAS ENTERPRISE.
A Novel scheme for Utiliz!ng Convict
Labor.

LITTLE Rock, Sept. "a novel proposi-
ton has been made to Capt. James II. Mil.
Ter, lessee of the Arkansas state penitenti-
airy, by an enthusiastic individual who is
confident that he has a scheme by which
every person connected with the prison can
acquire all the wealth they will need for the
balance OF their days, and in addition to
this he believes that money enough can be
made out OF the enterprise to pay off the
public debt uT Arkansas. He il we'll
known citizen OF Little Rock, who has
spent the greater part OF his existence in
trying to evolve from his brain some scheme
that would bring return ofuhtold millions
to himself and friends whom be might sole
cite TO assist him in carrying out the pro-
ject. 1t is the purpose Of this enthusiast To
organize mammoth minstrel show OF 100
convict members and take them through
the country and give regular minstrel per
iormances, the members of this company to
still retain their convict suits and to be
billed as the Great Arkansas Convict Min
strel Show OF 100 members. 1t is a noto-
rious fact that there are great number Of
musical geniuses confined in the pen and
also that the forming ofsuch a combination,
as suggested 10y the above, is quite feasible:
yet the convict laws o: the state would
first have to undergo such modification by
alegislative body that even a Philadelphia
lawyer would not recognize them as ever
having related to confinement for crime,
should he meet them in the course OF his
travels. Capt. Miller informed a cor
respondent that while he had no doubt
radical changes would be made in our con-
Wet laws by our next legislature, he at the
same time thought the scheme proposed by
his friend out of the question, and refuses
the proposition for farming out his help"
for any such purpose.

vengeance to various citizens. Jackson's
time expired last November and he return
ed to his old haunts. About two weeks al.
ter his return a business block in Centralia
burned down one night, the origin of the
fire being traced TO an uCcRdiary, and sus.
pcion was directed against jackson, but
no proof could be secured against him. A
lew months later the large lumber yapl Oi
Sears 4 Wills was destroyed by fire, and as
Mr.. Wills was one of the parties threa tened
by jackson, 1t was strongly suspected he
had hand in il. About month ago Abe
Jackson was again arrested and sentenced
to jail for some miSdcmeanor lie was re
leased on Friday last, and returning to
Centralia, i'll company with another negro
dosperado, he proceeded to carry his vow
of vengeance into execution. The first man
on whom he commenced operations was
Mr.. Barton ;. Roberts. formerly marshal
OF this place. Meeting Roberts, Abe Jack
son made desperate attack upon him,
near the new brick buildings in course of
erection, but Mr.. Roberts getting the best
of the young desperate, bothne.roes began
assaulting Roberts with brick bats, and for
a time the air was full Of flying brick. At
length Roberts succeeded in knocking Jack
son down with brick, and after repeating
took To their heels. After Il hard chase
jackson and his companion were brought
to bay near the lake, two miles south OF
here, and, although defiant, Obcycd the

were beng brought back to town the party
was met by Mr.. Roberts, whom the dcspcr-
ADDE'S had assaulted, now fully armed, and
il was with great difficulty that he was pre-
vented from shooting the negroes. Upon
the arrival OF the negroes in town about
300 excited men surrounded them, and it
was feared that they would be lynched, but
cooler counsel prevailed. Anticipating that
the negroes would 10y lvnChcd during the
night, about sixty armed negroes gathered
from the surrounding country to protect
them, and an equal posse Of armed citizens

TROUBLE WITH NEGROES.
Citizens ofTtxas Taking steps TO Pre-.
vent Imm' 'gratlon of Blacks

FoRT WORTH, TEX, Sept, 6.-There are
indications OF trouble with negroes in this
part OF the state. There is a determina-
tion that refugee negroes in any considera-
BILE number shall not locate in towns and
cities that have not had hitherto many
black citizens. The town negroes as rule
are not good citizens. They congregate in
low quarters OF the city and make life al
most uncomfortable to whites living within
earshot OF them. The recent exodus from
Comanche County perforce and the influx
OF numbers from other counties caused by
the drouth has added largely to the popu-
lation OF half idle negroes, who quickly be-
come vicious. Mr.. w. w. Watson, OF Nor
gan, who owns many houses occupied by
negroes, to-day received u note warning him
to turn his colored renters out, and not to
let TO them again, or suffer violence. In
this city the police force is kept busy arrest
ing gangs Of negro loafers who have lately
arrived. The negro quarters OF this city
are being extended over limits hitherto un-
known. Several property owners have been
expostulated with for renting to this class,
and q sort OF social boycott is laid against
the house-renters. Negroes who should be
in the cotton-fields are found idle in the
habituating places OF vice, and in many
cases making night hideous by their orgies.
This state OF affairs will get worse as fall
advances. How to get rid OF the surplus
OF undesirable blacks is a problem now
being anxiously considered.

Crop Summary.

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-The Farmers Review
in this weeks issue will print the following
crop summary: The frost which prevailed
throughout portion of the corn belt dur
ing one night OF the past week caused very
little damage to the growing corn. The re-
ports Indicate that while the drought and
continued hot weather seriously injured
the general prospects OF corn, it accelerated
the ripening of the grain, and in sections of
Missouri Kansas, Iowa and Minnesota ~
portion OF crop has sufficiently matured to
be beyond danger from frost. The reports
Indicate that as q whole the corn crop will
be out OF the way offrost within fifteen days
il not attacked prior to then, and large
proportion OF the crop cannot be seriously
menaced even now. The general prospects
for the output OF corn show no marked
Improvement. The tenor OF the reports
from all the states except Ohio, Indiana,
Michigan and Minnesota, continne topredl-
cate short crop. In the four states named
the prospects continue fayora BILE Tor a iull
average yield. while majority OF the
counties estimate the yield at from 10 to
65 per cent. Reports from one-hali Cf the
counties would indicate a general average
Of O. per cent. Twenty-six Ohio counties
estimate an average OF 81 per cent. Kan
sas, Missouri and Wisconsin give the prom
ise O. about one-half OF the usual yield.
The reports indicate that the pastures are
rapidly drying up, although i'll portions ol
Illinois and Iowa late rains have served to
renew the grass somewhat. Early planted
potatoes are generally good, but late
planted are poor, and in many districts q

received here of sickening calamity which
occurred about midnight last night, five
miles and half above SOnestown on the
line Of the Williamsport and North Branch
r;filroad, where a large number OF Hungar-
ian laborers are employed on the extension
OF the road. A shanty, in which over twen-
ty OF these men lodged, caught fire last
night from the overtIrning OF a stove while
the men were asleep. Sixteen men slept on
the second floor. Those OH the first floor
and all on the second floor, but seven, sue
ceeded in getting out. The others were left
to their fate and were roasted alive in the
burning shanty. Their eharred remains
we're afterwards found in the ruins. The
men who escaped were so panic-stricken
that they made no efforts to save their
companions. The remains OF the seven
dead we're removed to Sonestown, to await
the arrival OF the coronerfro La Porte.

The BULGARIAN IhUu4LE.
Prince Alexander the Victim OF Kus
sian Diplomacy.

The Bulgarian complication is thc most
important matter now before Europe and
is exciting increasing interest with every
day OF uncertainty. Prince AlCXander's alb
dication OF the throne is having IL very de
pressing effect on the European stock eX-
changes, and the greatest results are
universally feared. \ serious continental
war would not surprise anyone, and there
is much in the behavior OF Russia to indi-
cate that this is her political object In adj
dition to the hatred in which Alexander is
held by the imperial family, the czars en-
nifty toward the prince is due in n great
measure to the influence of the czarina,
whose antipathy for him equals the great
liking entertained by the Gar = mother for
this her favorite nephew. The former
czarina left Prince Alexander legacy of
81 ,O0O, 900 to be surrendered to him at
her death. IL is stated that Alexander has
received only the interest on his legacy from
time to time, and that the principal which
rightly belongs to him has never yet been
paid over.
Among the rumors which have been set
afioat to account for the princes uneX-
pected decision to abdicate the throne Ui
Bulgaria, it is stated that in a long inter
view with the Russian consul at Lcmburg,
the CONSUL K is not known whether with or
without authority from ST. Petersburg, per-
suaded Prince Alexander that by submitting
absolutely to the plans OF Russia lie coul
be restored completely to the cars favor.
Overcome as he was with nervous prostra'
ton and eager to find the nearest way out
OF his difficulty and out OF the perplexity
into which the affairs ofBulgaria had fallen,
Alexander trusted this assurance implicitly,
and nssentcd to place himself thus in the
csars hands. The result is only another
evidence OF the treachery and falsehood oi
Pussan diplomacy, from which Great Brit
nin has suffered more than once.

Foul Murder Suspected.

BELoT, Kas., Sept. Ga woman by the
name OF Belle Blake was killed at her home
near Glen Elder in the western part of this
county last Saturday afternoon. The cir
cumstances corroborate the theory Of a
brutal murder. Aaron Blake, the father
in-law OF the woman was the only person
at the house at the time of her death. He
claims she was killed while attempting to
mount q horse, she being thrown and
dragged and trampled to death by the ami
mal but every indication from the sur
roundings goes to prove she was foully muir
dered. Her skull was crushed over the left
eye and at the base, beside numerous other
wounds about the head and arms, but had
no injuries below the waist. An inquest
was held by Justice McCarty, OF Glen Elder
Sunday morning, and, upon the evidence
adduced, Aaron Blake, the iather-in-law,
is held for the murder. The husband. Isaac
VI. Blake, and brother-in-law, b. A. Blake,
are also in custody. The entire party are
newcomers to the section, having lived in
tho co inty only about three months.
