AN IMPROBARLE STORY.

REPORTS OF AN ARMED CONFLICT Be
TWEEN UNITED STATES AND MEXICAN
TROOPS,
Washington, Sept. Sin the absence
of official information on the subject,
General Drum, acting secretary of war,
is inclined to disbelieve the reports Of a
fight between Mexicans and our troops
vino are after Geronimo and espresso
the fervent kope that the report Will
prove incorrect. The conditions so
far &c they have been known
render the story very improbable,
the utmost cordiality prevails
between the Mexican government and
General Miles, and the forces have been
cooperating quiet tremendously. Dis
patches were received from General
Miles this morning stating that he
would start the Warm Springs and
Ohinicahua bands least to-day, not to
return to that reservation, but no men
ton is made of the capture of Geronimo
or OF any conflict with the Mexicans.

LEFT OUT IN THE COLD.

LEI WI iS II WIZ .
London, Sept. 3-Ths Daily News
says that Alexander has been abandoned
and isolated by the agreement of all the
empires and that nothing could exceed
the humility of his letter to the czar,
which was only equalled in the same
degree by the brutality Of the cara
answer.
TRIED TO WRECK HIM.
An attempt vas made to wreck the
train conveying Alexander to Sofa.
When near Philipoppolis the engineer
discovered an obstruction on the track
and brought the train to a stand still.
On investigation it was found that five
sleepers had been placed across the
rails. The prince, when informed Of the
attempt, showed no signs of fear. A
conflict between the revolutionists and
followers Of Alexander is feared at Sofia.
BULGARIA TRANQUIL.
Sofia, Sept. 3-The revolutionary
regiments here have surrendered uncon-
ditionally to Alexander and appealed to
him for olemency. Bulgaria is now
tranquil. Alexander, when he reached
Bucharest on his journey to Sofia, tele-
graphed to the sultan assurances OF his
homage and devotion.

After months of doubt Fargo now be-.

complained by Messrs Kent and Winford,
Work has been commenced on the
trenches at the old Fargo foundry. Fire
briok has been purchased, part of the
machinery already ordered, and the
company guarantees to put in a plant
costing at least $4,000 this fall. This,
it it believed, is the commencement of a
permanent manufacturing enterprise.
The ore will be hoated to Fargo by river

a joke on tho Parsnn.

brother occasionally; he was much concerned
over James decision to hold himself aloof
from the world, and added to the ambition to
try to tempt James back to the pulpit again;
Thomas X. found other pleasing labors; no.
where in all the world do the fish bite better
or fight more gallantly; nowhere is the hunt

the Hardenberg native that the Elmira
clergyman did not dote on. Once .ho let the
Beecher in him ooze out at his pen point and
u letter was printed by New York city
journal making fun Of James neighbors.
Not long after he visited the Beecher lake
hermitage By some mischance copy of
that New York paper, Thomas X. letter
and all, got into the neighborhood; the ma
tives reve,ed in it, and Thomas K became
thenceforth marked man. 1t was his in
tention to stay but one day and night ON this
last visit, and he had ventured up into the
baskwoods without baggage. Tho clothes he
wore were all he brought. 1t was summer,
and when the Rev. Thomas X. retired for the
night he tossed his clothes across the window
sill. The natives had learned of his visit.
When he woke up next morning he was
minus coat, trousers and vest There was
but one thing to do--to borrow attire from
his brother 1t wasn't fashionable suit that
he was obliged TO don. The cut wasn't mod

of cloth, were In their makeup, and each
article of the suit was considerably the worse

Among the valuables is an old sword with
jeweled hilt and golden chain No one
can tell TO whom il belonged, but it is a relic
OF the revolution, and was probably captured
and given to the government, but locked up
with the treasures instead of being sent TO the
museum There are two or three small
bottles filled with precious stones, but these
are sealed up and no one knows their value.
They may be stage jewels" for all tho keep
ers know. In the box where these trinkets
are kept is a curious old bottle containing at
tar of roses. II is variously claimed to be
worth from 500 to 100000 Often when the
box is struck and Jared or moved the sweet
odor of the altar of roses permeates the vaults
and fingers about the cold corridors for days.
These, together with few little golden trink-
cts, make up the jewels of the treasury. Chi
