MORE RIOTING AT BEVIOR, MO.
One Man Killed Saturday Night and
Three Others Wounded.

KANSAS CRY, No., Nov. IA Journal
special from Bevior, Mo-, reports a riot at the
coal mines at that place Saturday. A strike
has been prevailing there for some months,
and there have been frequent rows between
the strikers and the new men. A short time
ago a number of Swedes were engaged to take
the places of the strikers, and Saturday night
the bad feeling resulted in pitched battle. A.
]. Anderson, Swede, was shot through the
breast and killed, and three other Swedes were
slightly wounded. 1t is rumored that one
striker was killed, but this is not confirmed.
Over one hundred shots were fred during the
riot, and number Of houses were pierced by
stray bullets. The situation is critical and the
militia will probably be called. Thos. Wardell,
owner of the mine, was shot and killed by a
mob of strikers about six months ago.

The Umbria Sails Again.

New YORK, Nov. 12.-The big Cunard steamer
Umbria, which was injured by colliding with
the steamer iberia, on Saturday last, again left
port this morning fully recovered from the
shock of the collision. The big hole in the bow
was covered by big iron plate, and to one not
versed in marine architecture it would be
difficult to discover where the steamer had
been injured. Only two of its passengers were
absent, an old lady and her son, they deciding
to wait until spring for their voyage across.

tention to the delay in a decision in the tele-
phone cases argued before Commissioner OF

charged that this delay was made on account Of
political Reasons, IL not being considered wise
to make decision in favor of the Bell Tele-
phone company prior TO the election. Commits
sioner Hall is absent from the CITY, but il is stated
at the patent Office that Mr. Han did not take
up the telephone cases because Of the pending
cases before the Z. 5. Supreme Court involving
substantially the same principles. One OF these
cases was decided about month ago, but there
are still other decisions to be made. Mr.. Hall
however, proposes, 1T is said, to decide the
cases pending in his Office as soon as he can
reach them after disposing of other accumula-
ted business. Ii is also said that there has been

TEMPERATURE.

~-sA|AAA-'''b
TEMPERATURE.
The mean temperature of the State
for the week has been slightly in
excess Of the normal ranging trom
one degree above in the southern
section, to five degrees above the
normal in the northeastern section.
PRECIPITATION.
The rainfall has been above the
normal in the northeastern section.
about normal in the northern north
western and central sections; while
for the south central and southern
portion of the State there has been
a slight deficiency in the rainfall, as
compared with the normal for the
second week in April.
The heaviest rain within the week
occurred at Delta, one iuch and
three-tenths fell on the 7tb and one
half inch On the 10Th.
SUNSHINE.
The percentage Of sunshine during
the week has been about the average
in all the parishes reporting, except
ing Caddo (northwest) from which
deficiency is reported.
GENERAL REMARKS.
For the State as whole the farm
ers have had another week of fine
weather. Under the high tempera-
ture. warm sunshine and light April
showers, the growth of vegetation
has been rapid and farm work has
been pushed rapidly forward. Only
from the Red River bottom ia the
northwestern part of the State, re-
ports are not so cheering in regard
to the staple crop; deficiency of
sunshine, and a cool northeast wind
have possibly done some injury to
the fields of young cotton, but the
general outlook throughout the State
tor cotton, corn and cane is decid.
edIy encouraging.
