General Bumhiethorpe Is certainly big
man--big in stature and btFzs= sui in his
Own conceit. hrimFninE over rs he con-
ssantly i with his own importance. Gen.
eral Bnmhlethorpe was never i'm the army:
he never was even in the militia. But be
was surveyor general once. good while
age, and has al course worn the title OF
general ever since aud has always insisted
gpon IL lie has been shade more over
bearing since he became a general IN this
way though he was sufficiently overhear-
ing before thst.
One tine afternoon last summer General
Bpmblethorpa was taking walk through
the outskirts OF the country town which be
had honored By choosing il as his place OF
summer sojourn. In the course Of his
wanderings he came upon q pair OF bars
leading into = grassy and inviting meadow
The bars he LET down and walked into the
meadow. He had but half crossed the
meadow when he saw TO his horror great
black and white Holstein bull emerge from
the dark shade of an apple tree and ad-
vance toward him. General Bumhlethorpe
is not an sctive man, bat the steady adj
vance Of this enormous animal stimulated
him for the moment to great activity.
And his own rapid flight also served to
stimulate the bull, who lowered his head
and charged furiously, believing tbs
while.
1t was a mad chase. bat General Bum
blethorpe had some rods advantage in the
start and the opposite fence Of the field
was not far away. The general ran wildly
and succeeded in turning a somereet over
the fence just in time TO escape the infuri-
ated animal.
And then < was General Buud,lethorpe
who was iufuriated. From the safe side IL
the fence he stormed and ragged at the bull,
and. seeing q farmhouse not far away, be
stalked over 10 it. The farmer was choring
around the barn when the general rushed
up 10 him.

tIon-Lverpool Sailors -0sher News.

PrqTsBURG, Pa, July 12.-One hundred
Pinkerton men armed with springfield
rifles, arrived here this morning and were
taken to Homestead where the Bessemer
steel works are. They will be placed about
the mill to protect it and the workmen
from the strikers. The sheriff will also
swear in a hundred deputies for the same
purpose. The struggle promises to be the
most bitter in the history of strikes and
lockouts in this section. Both sides are
determined, and long fight is anticipated.
At noon 125 deputies arrived at Home
stead. They were Immediately surrounded
by strikers to the number of nearly a
thousand and requested to return to the
city The deputies refused The crowd
would not allow them to enter the mill. At
1870 o'clock they are still surro unded by
the mob, but no outbreak has occurred.
There is intense excitement.
Forty deputies had badges torn from
their coats and were driven away. The
others are still surrounded. Sheriff Nc
Candless is now swearing in additional
deputies and will have 400 or 500 more on
the ground tomorrow. If necessary, he
viii increase the number to 1000.

THE PARNELL COMMISSION.
Where the Times Got the Letters on 'Par-
nellism and Crime"

LONDON, July 12.-Before the Parnell
commission today counsel for the Parnel-
lites asked SOames, solicitor for the Times,
to produce list of the payments made to
witnesses on behalf of the Times and all
communications between himself and the
Times agents in America and Ireland.
Attorney General Webster declined to al
low Soames to produce the communications
SOames was then recalled.
He testified that he had not made out a
list of payments made to witness. There
was no definite agreement as to how the
witness should pay LeCaron. Several pay
ments had been made to him.
Mcdonald, manager of the Times, said
that he understood LIE Caron would be
provided for. He had lost mis- employment
ii the government service.
Houston, secretary OF the Loyal and
Patriotic union, testified that the articles
on ''Parneliism and Crime" published by
the Times, were an elaborate reprint of
"Parnellism Unmasked," and compiled by
Pigott, for which the witness paid $50
Witness stated that he was willing to lay
the books of the union before the court,
but objected to their being seen by it's poll
teal opponents. Witness borrowed ESQ
from Lord StallbriGge and Sir Roland Blen-
Hassell and $50 from DR.. Mcguire TO buy
the letters printed by the Times Houston
produced voucher for elOO paid to Eugene
Davis.
Sir Charles Russell: "Don't you believe
tina that voucher is in j. Pigott's hand
writ ngF Witness: ''They wrote similarly
don't believeiti is in PigotJ's handwriting"
Under repeated questions the witness pre-
santed Davis voucher, though obtained
through Pigott.
Sir Charles Russell demanded the books
of the Loyal and Patriotic union. He said
he desired to prove that the whole indict-
ment contained in "Parnellism and Crime"
proceeded from the union; that Pigott had
been used by a political organization
to concoct the plan. Attorney General
Webster contended that the books were
wanted in order TO give the Parnellites free
range upon other political matters. The
court decided against the application.

CHICAGO, July 12.-At Louisville last
night an Associated Press reporter joined
Muldoon, Cleary. PGr5on Davis,of Chicago,
and others of the Sullivan party who es-
capped arrest at Nashville yesterday, and
came with them to Chicago. They reached
here at o'clock this morning. At the out
skirts of the city they left the train and
took q carriage across to the southern end
of the city, and took an outgoing train for
the east, in order to avoid any chance OF
arrest. MuldOon escaped arrest at Nash
vile by playing virtuously indignant and
dec airing to the policemen that he was no
prize fighter, and declaring that he was a
gentleman. Muldoon says Kilrain was
overCrained, and at least ten pounds too
light.
Sullivan remained in Chicago tonight
aud arranged TO leave for New York to-
morrow Ut am. by the Grand Trunk
route, which will take him through Canada

observation as much as possible, but man

he could enjoy himself in private.

BISMARCK, July 12.-The meeting of the
committee ON Judiciary to-day developed
the fact that there will be considerable diff
ficulty in settling the work Of this commit
tee. There is no question as to the supreme
court, but the trouble lies between the
county and district courts, and resolves it
self into fight on the part of would-be
judicial lights for the emoluments of the
offices. s
When the convention assembled in the
afternoon, a motion to authorize the joint
commission in charge of the division of
assets and liabilities, to settle temper
arily the boundary line, was carried. John
son offered number of articles for the
constitution, among which were provisions
that counties lying north of the seventh
parallel as they now, exist, shall be de
clared counties of the new state
no new counties shall be established which
shall reduce any county to less than 400
square miles or 10000 inhabitants; no
county shall be divided in any way without
the consent of the majority of the voters
thereof; no county seat shall be removed
without the consent, at a geneaal election,
of two-thirds of the voters of the county.
Moore offered a resolution that the ques-
ton of the right OF the state to tax the
roadbed and rolling stock of the Northern
Pacific road, which is now exempt from
taxation, be referretto the judiciary com
mittee to report within one week After
some other minor business was transacted
the convention Adjourned. -
The temperance eHmmittee stands par
TALLY pledged to submit the prohibition

ity of the members Instruct to that effect.
This settles the temperance legislation of
the convention.

A surveying party is engaged about the
"outlet" of Bear Lake, locating a route
for canal from the lake connecting the
water with Mud lake and so on to Bear
river. The object is to store water in the
lake by the means of levy. Teams are
engaged on the job and the projectors
think they have struck bonanza. 1t is
the same company that is building the
large canal from Bear river to Brigham
city. The people of Bear Lake imagine
they have been slumbering on their priv
ileges
A seven year-old boy was drowned in
Bear'Lake "outlet' last week while bath
ing with several companions. He was one
of the late immigrants from Scandinavia.
Crops through Bear Lake country arc
looking very well, and also along the
Weber river.
The hay crop in Summit county is es-
pecially good. 1t behooves man to give
his boys good education and instruct
them to locate on the head of the ditch.

THE TRANS-HONDUREAN RAILWAY
An English Syndicate will Build tits Influ-
ence on American Commerce.

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch !
WASHINGTON, July 12.-According to D.
w. Herring, our consul at Tegucigalpa,
the English have an enterprise which looks
like an English colonization of Honduras,
with possible annexation in the future
'One of the great questions of the time -
says the consul, lis that of effecting inter
oceanic connections across the American
isthmus, thus opening to the world a most
important highway Tor the trade and com
merce Of all countries One of the posi-
bly, practical solutions of this great prob
lem about to be undertaken is the construc-
ton OF railway across the republic Of
Honduras from Puerto COrtez on the At
lantic to AmaXalla on the Pacific"
San English syndicate last year obtained
a concession to build an inter-oceanic rail
road and organized in London with a cap
itai of 9S,U0O,00O. The engineer of the
English company has given assurance that
the road will be completed in three years.
"What a pity" says Herring, that this
great work will not owe its completion, as
it does its design, to American genius and
enterprise. If our people are to lose it by
failing to grasp the Importance of the en-
terprise, it is not the fault of the govern
ment or its representative here, for all nee
eS5afy information thereon was given years
ago by Squires, who was then our charge
d'atfairs in Honduras, designed the road
and published to the world its superior ad-
vantages over all others for transisthmian
railroad
aside from the Monroe doctrine" he says,
land however little interest as govern
ment we may feel in the enterprise and
however well We may be guaranteed to
complete natural route and the equality of
charges to people of all nations, though
nothing is mentioned, the mere fact
that EnglShmen are to control
this enterprise will give to them
an advantage over the trade and traffic of
Central America which will be of great
commercial Importance to this country,
financially, politically and commercially.
The influence of the syndicate win
be concentrated in London. This
will bring to Honduras, to Central
America and to all contiguous localities in
creased and an increasing number of Eng
lishmen. They will have their cOnnec-
tions established credit affiliations and
preferences in the old country and this will
of course appreciate the natural and manu-
featured products of their own country
more than this. This people. like all
Spanish American people q am now speak
ing Of the masSeS), are strongly affected by
appearances and demonstrations of influ-
ence and power, therefore the mere fact
that it is publicly known that such an i'm
portant railway is to be built by English
men viii raise them and their government
in the estimation of the Honduranean
people, -

"Yes-other women. You never heard of

let the matter drop there, knowing that
time would sooner or later bring my revenge
1t came sooner than expected Mr. Bowser
took his dress coat down to tailor to get a
couple of new buttons sewed on, and as he re-
turned without it, observed:
You are always finding fault with the
procrastination of my dressmaker. Your

hurry"
"Howr'
why, you were to bring that coat back
with YOU

his chair

But I'll get it at the Office tomorrow" he
slowly replied.
Perhaps, but it is doubtful As you can't
remember the number of the car they viii
laugh at the idea, and perhaps take you for
an impostor."
he glared at me like a Gagged animal and
made no reply, and l confess that almost
hoped he would never recover the coat. He
did, however, after couple of days, and as
he brought it home he looked at me with
great Importance and said:
There is the difference, Mrs. Bowser Had
you lost anything on the car it would have
been lost forever. The street car people were
even sending out messengers to find me and
restore my property. Detroit Free Press.

What DOrsey,s Trouble Is.

NEW YORK, July 12.-An evening paper
says that the deputy sheriffs are in search
of Stephen w. Dorsey. They hold an ex-
ecution against his body on an order issued
by Judge O'Brien, Nevada.
The bank of San Francisco brought suit
recently, aud obtained a verdict to recover
$4,632. The Judgment was not hquidated,
so an order was granted by the court di-
recting Dorsey to submit to supplement-
airy examination as to his property This
edict was isobeyed, so Judge O'Brien yes
terday fined Dorsey the amount of the judg-
ment for contempt of court.
At the sheriff's Office it is denied that
such an execution has been received. Dor
sew was found by a reporter and said: Il
supposed this case had been disposed OF
long ago. | am one of three endorsers of
Il note, of the proceeds from which l never
received a cent. | want the other fellows
TO pay: that is all there is to it."
