Although the export business of our mills
has been sadly handicapped by unfavorable
conditions during the past year, the above
figures indicate that they have once more
made a gain. though small, over the preyi-
Gus year. The figures of 1885 include the
-four sent TO Canada, but not the exports of
several mills operated from Minneapolis and
locaien outside the city limits. Below are

The trial of Patrick Glaster, young man
employed at the Galaxy mill. in the district
court for asSaulting Policeman Leanad with
a dangerous weapon attracted a good deal
of attention last week. Seven witnesses
swOre Glaster did not strike the blow, but
the jury found him guilty of simple assault,
as it appeared he had at least interfeTed
with the policeman. His attorney person.
ally assured the court that another man
who appeared on the stand as witness
was really the guilty person. The court
finally ordered Glaster TO pay fine OF $50.
Eleven mills were i'm operation last
week, producing not far from fifteen thou
sand barrels of flour daily. These mills
were the PillsbuTy A and b, the Anchor,
the Washburn A (One-third), b and C., the
Northwestern, Petit, Cataract, ST. An
thOny and Phoenix. The Holly was closed
down Thursday evening. but probably not
for long time. The Standard will be
started Monday, and possibly the Columbia,
Palisade and Crown Roller, which repre-
sent about twenty-seven hundred barrels
daily.
A. ID. Scott of the Washbum c returned
from visit to friends at Ottawa, Canada,
last Monday, only TO resign his position
with the determination TO engage in some
other occupation.
l.. Hanganson, an aged sweeper at the
Petit mill. who became deranged on the
subject of religion, has been committed by

1t has been necessary to use steam at the
Pillsbury A and Anchor mills during last
week, the cold weather having effected the
head of water very considerably.
A special meeting of the operative mil
lers will be held Sunday afternoon to de-
eide upon permanent quarters for the or

According to the report of the city police
department 10 millers. millwrights and 40
coopers were arrested during the past year.
Frank Noble, formerly of the Pillsbury

matter, and begins his report by saying "a
dense volume Of yellow smoke rose few
feet aud spread over the shop. The various
'ventilators' utterly failed to carry it OF. A
person could not remain in the shop thirty
seconds without feeling his lungs I'LL with
gas"
Dr. Quinby Of the board of health has
written the Milwaukee officials urging that
the ventilation be bettered. This and the
urgent appeal of the committee from the
Trades and Labor assembly has at last Sc
cured the promise that as soon as practica-
bic some means will be devised for carrying
the smoke and gas out of the building. So
here the matter rests for the present.

A Wheeling West Va special says :
News comes from St. George, the county
seat Of Tucker, that the utmost excite
ment exists throughout the county over
the shooting Of Deputy-Sheriff F. 8.
Pifer by William NJ. Clayton, editor Of
the Democrat, and one Of the most
prominent and influential men
in the eastern portion Of the
State. The trouble began through
feeling aroused by the contested-election
case Of George Mayors against j. j..
Adams, de tacto circuit clerk, which
has been on trial in the court there for
the past week. For more than year
the general opinion has been that
Adams had the just and the stronger
side Of the question and that he would
hold the office, as was proper that he
should, having received a majority vote
in an election, and has steadily main
tanned his position through three courts,
the present contest being the fourth.
The trial engendered the most intense
and bitter partisan feeling, and conser-
vative citizens have been fearful that an
outbreak of some sort would result.
ENCOUNTER ON THE STREET.
Saturday the spark necessary to fire
the magazine came in the shape Of an
editorial in the Democrat, in the course
of which Deputy-Sheriff Pifer was ac-
cused of perjury in the trial of the
election case. This aroused great feel
ing, and it was freely asserted that
Pifer would shoot Clayton, the editor,
on sight. The two men met on the
street near the Democrat office, and the
quarrel at once began between them.
Pifer was in a fair way to summarily
whip his antagonist, when Clayton drew
a revolver and pointed it at Pifer.
The latter caught the weapon, and in
the tussle it was discharged. The ball
passed through Pliers leg, and he
fell to the ground. A crowd was soon
attracted to the spot by the shot, and
when it was said that Frank Pifer was
shot the excitement became violent. and
the cry, "Get a rope-hang him :"
was Immediately heard. Clay ton had
run to his Office and barricaded the
door, having four or five of his friends
with him. Some Of the people on the
outside ran to a neighboring black
smith's-shop and came with the axle
tree Of wagon to break the door
down, and would have done so, but r.
W. Eastman, Of Davis City, prevented
it and kept the crowd hack.
TIE MOB RESTRAINED.
Meanwhile Clayton had gotten shot
gun which was in the Office and held
that ready to fire if the door should be
broken down. Those who had been in
the Office with Clayton, when they saw
the growing demonstration on the out
side, leaped through the windows in
the rear of the building and fled.
Sheriff Miller and the town authorities
succeeded in restraining the fury Of the
mob, and all is again quiet. The inten-
sity Of the hatred Of the two factions is,
however, such that the contest, which
had been dying out, may again
burst forth with more virulence
than ever. Indeed, the animosity is
now so deeply seated that it can only
pass away with the present generation.

A Tiffin (0.) special to the Cleveland
Plain Dealer says: Scipio township,
this county, is exercised over a scan.
dal, the facts of which up to this time
have been for some reason kept secret.
Two years ago Joel Shirley, wife, and
daughter, hailing from Lehigh county,
Pa, came to this county and located
near Rockaway, small station on the
Pennsylvania road, in Scipio township.
The general appearance of these people
was good, and during their residence
there they have gained the good will
Of the neighborhood. Some time
during the past month Mr.. Shirey's
two daughters, Sarah and Hannah, who
resided in Stanton, Va, arrived at their
paternal home in company with man
who gave his name as Mirt Moblske.
He continued his visit at the Shirley
residence for some time, and finally an
nounced his desire to marry Hannah
L., the youngest of the two daughters,
and the father readily gave his consent.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. Mr.. Mcdowell at the St. Paul's
Methodist Episcopal parsonage in the
presence Of the father and sisters Of the
bride.
A short time after came the denoue-
ment. Moblake was receiving letters
at the Rocksway post.ofiice addressed
to "Myrt Blakemore." Then q man
claiming to be Charles Beard arrived at
Republic from Staunton, Va, and stated
that "Moblake" was his brother Moffet
P. Beard, and that he had deserted a
wife at Broadway, Va, to whom
be was married in 1878, and by
whom two children were boIn to
him, both of which are now living.
lie also stated that his brother
had been postmaster and proprietor Of
a general store at Broadway, but on
account Of his Republicanism the new
Administration had decapitated him and
be had disposed Of his entire stock to
the detriment of his creditors, and
pulled out for Ohio in company with
the Shirley girls, leaving his family in
destitute circumstances.
A warrant was sworn out by the al
legged brother against Moblake, charging
him with bigamy, and a hearing was
had before Justice Lspham, at Repub-
lie. 1t now appears that it was Boards
policy to get Moblake" out of the
State without the necessary requisiton
from Governor Foraker. To effect this
Beard failed to appear against the pri-
soner at the hearing, and in consequence
"Moblake " was set at liberty. This
was done in order that certain business
transaction in which he BEARD was
personally interested could be settled
to his satisfaction. The party left for
Virginia Sunday night ria the Baltimore
and Ohio road. Nothing further has
been heard Of them.

WASHINGTON, February 16.--At-
torncy. General Garland to-day said to
the agent Of the Associated Press that
he had nothing new TO say concerning
the manner in which he became inter-
ested in the Pan-Electric Company, or
the circumstances under which the suit
at Memphis against the Bell Company
was instituted by direction OF the Solic-
itor-General last autumn. "For," he
added, my published statement to the
president last October said everything
j knew about those matters, and my
attitude in regard to them has not
changed in the least since then. Be
sides this, it now appears that an in
vestigation covering the whole question
is TO be had by the House of Repre-
sentatives, and am glad of it. and
hope it will be thorough and complete.
and that all there is Of it will be re-
vealed and made public. In ad-
vance Of this investigation, which !
heartily welcome, | feel disinclined
to go into the subject in detail, but will
say this, however 1t is asserted by
some persons that as I am q member
Of rival company to the Bell Company
and the Government is now prosecuting
suit against the Bell patent, this suit
may result to my benefit or advantage,
and that, too, while | am at the head
Of the Department of Justice, through
the Solicitor General, by whom the
suit is to be carried on; and that there
fore something should be done by me
to relieve myself and the Ad-
ministration from the apparently
delicate situation indicated. | have
considered this suggestion in all its
bearings, as far as l am able, and |
recognize the fact that there is much in
it worthy Of thought. | have discus
sed in my mind most thoroughly what
| could and ought to do in view alone
Of this state Of the case, and have de-
termined to take steps to meet this in a
way that will, think, receive the APP
probation of all people who really desire
TO be satisfied. This would be at once
consummated, but as the investigation
by the House is now to proceed, l do
not think it right for me to do anything
or explain what intend to do until the
investigation is concluded, as my mo-
tives, in view of this investigation,
might be misconstrued but whatever
the result Of The investigation may be,
| will carry out and execute the deter
mination | have reached and of which |
have already spoken, and more than

But. Mr.. Attorney General, will
you allow me to inquire whether this
foreshadows your resignation from the

London Tobacco Market.
LONDON, A CROSBY SQUARE, Z. c.,
February |, 1856.

LONDON, 4 CROSBY SQUARE, q. u, |
February l, 1856. J
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
A more general inquiry was expe-
rienced in this market last month for
American tobacco, and the sales must
sum up larger total than for some
months past.
Business was probably assisted a
good deal by the evident disposition OF
sellers to meet the views of buyers on
all medium classes of strips. Holders
are decidedly firm on best qualities OF
GAINESVILLE strips and on good lots OF
Virginia brights, but with these excep-
tions the tendency has been, We think,
in favor of buyers. Common lug and
trash strips are almost entirely neglect
ed, and for these valuations are rather
doubtful. Burley strips have sold in
small lots, ranging from I'd. to Old, &C
cordipg to quality, but at prices paid
we cannot see where the profit lies. For
Burley leaf, however good, or indeed
western leaf of any kind, we have
found no inquiry, although the best Of
this class will no doubt be gradually
absorbed for sake Of the color, which
is so conspicuously absent in most
classes Of western tobacco.
While there seems fair prospect in
our markets next season for new to-
bacco of decided character, there is
no inducement that we can see for the
shipment of nondescripts, or low
grades, either leaf or strips, and the
accumulation Of such stock cannot
even be encouraged at low cost, as the
effect of cheap prices here for common
tobacco is certain to be damaging to
our market for all classes.
The attempt last week To dispose OF
q large miscellaneous lot Of American
tobacco by auction in Liverpool has not
met with much succsss, very little ex-
cept Virginia brights having been sold.
