Hungry Cayotes.


1t has been 'close picking" for the
cayotes this winter owing to the scar
city of rabbits occasioned by the cold
winter of year ago, when they were
frozen stiff by the hundreds while sit
ting beneath the sagebrush Last
week dozens of these bowling animals
swarmed around the carcassas of cat
tie killed in cut east of town, and it
was impossible to drive them away.
They dug the carcasses up after they
were buried. The following item from
the Albion Sentinel shows what they
will resort to when forced by pangs of
hunger: "We are informed by Ed.
Conant that the little boy of Herman
SEricker came near being eaten up by
a cayote one day last week. Some of
Mr.. Strickers men were out grubbing
sagebrush when little Bernard was
sent to call them to dinner. While
on his way the cayote spied him and
gave chase. Bernard ran for dear
life and screamed for help After
falling down several times and almost
exhausting himself the men came to
his rescue and had to fight the cayote
off with their grubbing hoes Sho-

IN CONVENTION.


 Several Resolutions Adopted-Re-
 ports Of the Omcers-Mr. St. John's
 Paper Excites a Lively Discussion.
 KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 26.-At the bankers convention to-day resolutions were adopted recommending to Congress that such action be taken as will revive the American merchant marine, and also to pro vide for at least one or more statements yearly of the condition of the National banks.
 The report of Treasurer George E. Baker, which was found by the auditing committee to be correct, showed a cash balance on hand of $10,118. This and balances the execu- tive committee was empowered by the con- vention to invest The secretary's report showed net increase in membership during the past year of 157, the total membership now being 1870.
 MT. Sneed, of Kentucky, offered resolu- ton that 1t was the sense of the convention that section 5, ,498, revised statutes governing national banks, should be so amended by congress as to expunge the clause governing the resolution in @ long speech.
 The New York delegation opposed 1t.
 MT. Butler, of Connecticut, condemned the law. He thought there should be no laws governing the rates of interest-they ought to be allowed to be governed by themselves. Supply and demand was the only law that would operate justly to the loaner and bor- rover. He urged the adoption of the resolu- tion.
 The resolution was referred to a special committee, who reported recommending that congress be requested to amend the law SO that the penalty would be the forfeiture of only the amount of interest over the legal amount.
 The liveliest discussion of the convention occurred over the report of the executive council, recommending that the paper read by MT. St. John yesterday outlining propo- sition to require the treasurer of the United States to coin $4 ,0s0, 900 of silver each month and retire in the same proportion the United States legal tender notes, go that without affecting the amount of currency cir culating at par the paper could be retired conveniently be referred to the next executive council. MT. Knox moved that the council consider in connec- tion with Mir. St. Johns proposition the question of issuing silver certificates to the | full value of the silver issued in coin. Af- ter some discussion MT. Knox withdrew his motion to fully consider Mir. St. Johns proposition and take vote on it by mail after the executive committee had sent It's report to the delegates.
 All of the officers, with very few excep- tions, were reelected, and after the passing of the usual complimentary motions the con- | yention adjourned.

FrightfuIly Rurnea.

PIrrsBURe, Sept. 2s.-A frightful accident happened at Carnegie's Edgar Thomson steel works at Braddock tonight. Captain w. R. Jones, general manager of the steel works, and number of workmen were horribly and perhaps fatally burned. One of the largest blast furnaces gave way at the bottom and tons of molten metal ran out. The furnace had not been working properly during the day and Captain Jones called this evening to see if he could not ascertain the cause.
 He was working with a number of mer near the base of the furnace when the break occurred. In an instant flames shot forth and the metal exploded. That any persons escaped instant death is regarded as almos an accident.
 Michael King, a Hungarian. was presen when the seething mass poured out of th' furnace, and as he cannot be found it ii feared he has been covered up. The injur ed were brought to the Homeopathic hospi tai in this city where everything is beini done to relieve their sufferings.

 Early last evening two sentries were pa- trolling in front of four tents at Camp Ter " (Quinnipisc rink.) Sentries and soldiers who filled the tents or were scatted about camp were mimic soldiers, bright and viva cious young ladies connected with East Pearl street M E. church. It was the sec- ond and last of the entertainments in behalf of the organ fund, and the affair has been great success, both as an entertainment for the numerous patrons and financially. Six hun dred people witnessed the presentation of the camp scene last evening.
 As the bugle sounded the reveille last eve- ming, the mimic soldiers gay in uniforms of scarlet and white, hurried into line in front of the tents. The first sergeant then rnar- shalled them for drill, and the captain ad- vanced in front of the Champion Lady Ca dets," and with drawn sword took command and drilled the company in the manual and marching. Manual and company movements were well executed and won frequent ap- plause.
 Then the command broke ranks and a camp scene followed, the soldiers sitting down before a camp fire, and "John Browns Body" was sung. Just before this, however, Mrs. B. D. Brown mounted on the horse with which John G. Hurd delivers the COURIER in Fair Haven wards, rode into the rink, prepared to distribute from the mail bags letters to the cadets. Just before the tents were reached the horse slipped and fell Mrs. Brown extricated her feet very grace fully from the stirrups, and, striking on hel l feet, she was uninjured.

 The Bolton and District Operative Cotton Spinners' association has already decided to support the Amslgsmated Association of Operative Spinners in shutting down for two weeks in October, meanwhile paying the men the customary out of work pay.
 It is also expecteds that the operatives in the Blackburn mills will decide to strike to- morrow
