Much Damage Done to Farm Land ana
 Quarries Near Medina, N. Y.
 MEDINA, N. Y., Aug. s7.-A serious break was discovered yesterday in the Berme bank of the Eric Canal at Shelbys Basin, two miles west of here. The break rapidly widened until an immense volume of water was flowing through the break. about forty feet wide and extending to the bottom of the canal. All efforts to check the flow were unavailing. Johnson's Creek has been transformed into 8 raging torrent and farm lands are being flooded badly. The neighboring quarries are all filled with water stopping work and doing serious damage.
 Damage by the break Is estimated at over s50,000. One quarry owner esti- mates his loss at s20, 1000. Between the break and the lake much land is flooded and bridges washed away. A steam canal boat loaded with resin was caught and wedged across the canal and will probably break in two. There Is danger of the water, undermining the Central's tracks. Supt. Servoss and a gang of men are tr ying to stop the leak.

District Attorney White Still Absent.
 Who Will Try Nagle?
 SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 97.-District Attorney White, of San Joaquin, who left Stockton in order to evade delivery of the State Attorneys letter authoriz- ing him to dismiss proceedings against Justice Field, was expected here last night. The letter now lies in the Stockton postoffice, and counsel for Judge Field say that if White does not get 1t they will have the case taken out of his hands. The friends of White say that he is justified in Ghe course he is pursuing by the grave charges ofcon- spiracy which Field brought against him last week in his legal traverse.
 Sarah Althea publishes bitter letter denouncing Attorney-General Johnson for his interference.
 Judge Sawyer, it is said, has grave doubts as to the power of the Federal courts to interfere in the Nagle case and that Terry's slayer will have to be tried in the State courts at Stockton. It is rumored that Terry's adherents will shoot him If he is taken back to Stockton.
 The attack of Justice Field on Sarah Althea and his evident desire to protect Nagle has somewhat turned the senti. ment against Field.

LONDON PARALYZBD
All Water Communication En.
 tirely Cut Off.
THE GREAT STRIKE SPREADING
The City in Fever of Excitement Over the
 Contest Between Labor and Capital.

The vessel-Owners Refuse to Arbitrate-
 Thousands of Tons of Mutton Rotting in
 the Ships-Fears that the Gas Stokers
 VIII Strike and Leave the City in Dark
 ness-The Markets in Mark Lane De-
 moralixed and Prices Advancing.
 LONDON, Aug. 27.-The strike of the dock laborers is rapidly extending and embracing workers in all industries. Seven thousand men employed in the various iron works on the banks of the Thames have joined the strikers.
 The shipping trade is completely paralyzed, the large mail steamers being compelled to leave without car goes.
 The gas stokers, of whom there are thousands, threaten to join the strike and take part in movement compelling the laborers In all branches of trade to cease work.
 The men on strike are perfectly or derly.
 Four of the largest mills at Black burn have succumbed to the prevailing dullness of trade and closed their doors.
 London to-day is an inland town and promises to remain such for some time to come. All communication with the rest of the world by water Is as com pletely cut of as though the Thames had dried up and been turned into a gar den farm. The great ships lying at the docks can neither load nor discharge their cargoes. and the immense traffic of the greatest commercial city of the world lies at the mercy of the man II %oI Io1l Up to to-day the strikes of the dock laborers have been regarded by the Lon don populace not indeed without inter- est, but with that languid interest which is felt In affairs which concern other people and not ourselves. But this Is all over and to-day the strike and | its consequences touch every man, 1 woman and child in this great city. No meat arrived in London to-day. The markets in Mark Lane are paralyzed and maize advanced five shillings the quarter for immediate use. The city was thrown into fever of l excitement when the coal handlers | struck and it was announced that the gas stokers intended to follow suit and | leave the city in darkness tonight. The l electric light companies were filled with | orders from commercial houses who | sought to avert such a calamity and they have largely increased their force. So far the gas strikers remain at work, but there is no telling what nome mt they will quit.
 Although the strikes so far include only a few industries not directly con nected with transportation there is scarcely an important trade carried on In London in which there are not loud mutterings of discontent.
 Another conference was held between the managers of the docks and the Ia
 borers' delegates but no agreement was reached. Arbitration of their differences
 was again proposed by the represents
 tives of the strikers, but the employers
 refused to listen to any proposal to sub
 init their case to the hands of third par | for

A Four-Leaf Clover.

Lying 'twixt tho musty pages
 Of a book with time-worn cover, Mingling with the thoughts of sages, Is spray of four-leaf clover. Years have not effaced it's tinting,
 And mayhap its mystic powers Are as when the sunlight gllnting,
 Gave 1t light in summer hours. Did the hand of some fair maiden.
 Dancing in loves giddy mazes, Pluck thee, whilst the breezes laden
 Whispered of the envious daisiesi An, t may be some woman broken,
 Grieving o'er life's empty measure, Grasped thee as 0 living token
 Of some fleeting, phantom pleasure. Some ono pluoked thee in thy beauty, Mystic fruit of spring-time olden, Some one who in fields of duty
 Gamers now in autumn golden. Still the yellow sunlight gleaming,
 Gilds the bloom where wild bees hover; Other loves, mayhap, are dreaming
 Over sprays of living clover. Hollis w. Field, in Detroit Free Press.

 MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug 27.-At noon to-day it was estimated that fully 1OO, 900 veterans and visitors to the National Encampment of the c. A. R. had arrived in the city.
 The Cream City is decorated as it never was before in honor of the brave defenders of the Union.
 Chief Warner and staff are quartered at the Plankinton House.
 Thousands of old soldiers are arriv- ing on every train, and the city Is in possession of the Grand Army of the Republic.
 Gen. w. T. Sherman, escorted by the Ransom Post of St. Louis, Gen. Alger, accompanied by Mrs. John A. Logan and Secretary of Agriculture Rusk, were among the notables who arrived last evening.
 Corporal Tanner confirms the state ment that he Is not candidate for Com mander-in-Chief He added: With reference to Gen. Alger, I can say, that even If he is a candidate for the Presi- dency in 1892 that circumstance would not prevent his being elected and serv- ing his year as Commander before he would have any occasion to go into a political struggle"
 The Commissioner of Pensions also stated that there was no truth in the reported troubles with Assistant Secre- tary Bussey; that they had eaten din: ner together yesterday and came here the best of friends.
 Everything tends to indicate that Gen. Alger will be the next Commander. in-Chief. Private Dalzell has no fol. lowing, and Consigny, of Iowa, has but State support. The eastern delegates will vote for Judge Veazey, of Vermont, but they admit that he can not be elected.
 A. G. Weissert, of Wisconsin,, will be the Senior Vice, and the probabilities are that Washington will be selected for the next encampment.
