Terre Register from J. NJ. Kirk pa trick
and will ia future have full control of
that paper. Although somewhat rad
ical in his ideas Bro. X. is as conscien-
tious and fearless a writer as we have

Southeast journalism loses one OF its

were on the grounds. The blue and ne
gray were together and the past for Of
ten. AT IL O'Clock Gov. John b. Cor
don, of Georgia, made the address of
welcome, which was responded to by
Gen. w. S. Rosecrans. After the ad-
dresses, permanent organization of the
Chickamauga Memorial Association was

T. Wilder, of Tennessee; vlce-presi-
dent, Gen. Joseph Wheeler Alabama;

SPOKANE FALLS, w. T., Sept. 1S.-A
very disgrac9ul exposure has just been
made here which duplicates two mem
beers of the Common Council and a
police officer. The names Of the persons
implicated are Sidney D. Waters, Peter
IA1eber and William Gillespie. Sew
eral weeks ago Robert Inglis was
arrested at Chico. CAL, on a charge of
having sold provisions and other sup
plies and appropriated the proceeds.
He was suspected, but made his escape
from Spokane Falls. However, he was
captured at Chico, and on being brought
back made the startling statement that
a conspiracy existed among the Off
Gals and others Tor the APP
preparation of the relief sup
plies on large scale. Inglis
was examined and admitted to bail, but
has since disappeared. The supposltion
is that he was bought off. a partial in
vestigation has been made. It shows
that several thousand dollars worth of
goodS have been stolen and converted
into money. A report has been made
which seriously duplicates Councilmea
Dueber and Waters and Police Officer
Gillespie. They were arrested and held
to trial

Several Americans Lose Their Lives at
Navassa Island.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. ia ca
bic dispatch was received to-day at the
Department of State from Consul Allen,
at Kingston, Jamaica, saying that riot
occurred at Navassa, an island in the
Caribbean Sea, in which a num-
Der of Americans were killed.
The Consul says that at his
request British war ship had left Ja-
maica for the scene Immediately upon
receipt of the news of the trouble. The
dispatch contained 10 further informa-
ton. 1t is learned at the Navy De-
partment that the United States
steamer Galena is now on her way
to Navassa and will probably ar
rive there tomorrow. She was at
st. Nicholas Mole, Hayti, when
news of the riot was received at Wash
ington, and was at once ordered to
Navassa. This island is under no par
ticular jurisdiction. but is regarded as
under the protection of the United
States. 1t is said to be owned by an
American company of which Gen. B. F.
Butler is a member. 1t is about $50

American and English Workmen.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser
If the American workman reads an
article on American Mechanics from
an English Point of View," lately pub
lished in an English journal, he will
probably have q keener appreciation
than he had before of the advantages by
which he is surrounded. In England
the intelligent workman gets no en-
couragement from his employer; in
America, if he is successful in one
instance, he is encouraged to renew his
efforts, the result being that the en-
ployer and the country at large are
benehled thereby. In an English rail-
way shop the same old-fashioned tools
and appliances, with few exec ptions, are
used at the present day as were used
thirty years ago. A bodymaker's chest
of tools weighs two hundred weight or
more. The American car-builder's tools
consist of a small chest weighing not
more than quarter the weight OF an
Englishman's, but each tool is SO con-
structed as to be of the utmost service
to him, and with this small chest of
tools he is able to perform the most in
tricate work with which he may be
brought in contact, with greater precis-
ion and dispatch. Another cause why
Americans surpass the English in in
genuity is that information is not with
held from them. Papers of every
description are circulated and contri-
buted to by. employers and employees
on an equal footing. This circulation of
technical papers is greatly appreciated,
and each issue is looked forward to
with eagerness. Workmen, too. receive
encouragement, and any suggestions
made. by them TO their superiors as to
the most economical ways of working
are attentively listened to; if proved to
be as represented, the system is tried,
and the man receives the thanks of his
employer, and often pecuniary re-
Enumeration as well. This system of
general encouragement is one of the
chief reasons why the American manu-
facturer is able to pay greater wages and
still send his commodities to the En-
glish markets cheaper than they can be
produced in England.

MAYS LANDING, N. j., Sept. 19.-Mrs.
Hamilton, the alleged wife of Robert
Ray Hamilton. was to-day convicted of
assaulting Mary Donnelly with knife
at Atlantic City. The arguments occu-
pied the entire forenoon. At 2 o'clock
Judge Reed began his charge to the
jury: 'The whole matter hinges
on the plea of the defense"
been struck in self.defense but
when deadly weapon is used in
self-detense it materially alters the
case" Continuing. the Judge dWelt
upon the fact that the knife thrust was
deadly one and that the only way in
which the plea of the defense could
possibly be tenable was that the blow
was struck to save the defendants life;
that she was in imminent danger and had
to deal the deadly blow to save her own
life. His charge was clearly against the
prisoner.
The jury then filed out of the room,
and within short time returned bring
ing In verdict OF guilty of atrocious
assault.
The jury was out just one hour and
fifteen minutes and their verdict was

Mrs. Hamilton was led into the court
room by Sheriff johnson, and when the
foreman of the jury declared the YER
dict she fell In swoOn on the floor. 1t
was most dramatic scene, and brought
tears to almost every eye in the court
room. She was sentenced to two years
in states prison.
Mrs. Hamilton is handsome woman
"a born adventures who is known in
various cities under various names.
Hamilton, wealthy politician of New
York, met her and they lived as man
and wife. She had previously been as
ISOLATED with one Joshua Mann, and
the two with Mann's mother, plotted to
palm off child on Hamilton as his own.
The babe was bought for $40. 1t died
and another was secured. While the
plans of the plotters were being carried
out, the SO called Mrs. Hamilton and
her alleged husband had a quarrel at
their cottage at Atlantic City. Mary
Donnelly, the nurse, lnterfered and was
badly slaehed by Mrs. Hamilton, who
was armed with knife. The cutting
affray led to the arrest of Mrs. Hamil-
ton and thus the plot to fleece Ham
ilton, by inducing him to make
will in favor of his supposed child, be-
came public. 1t was proposed to kill
Hamilton and make way with the child,
when Mann and the woman would get
possession of Hamilton's fortune.
