extra session OF congress. A majority of

they will wait until the regular session in
order to be reinforced by Mr. Lsird's

CHICAGO, Aug ~. --Hoyt Sherman, of
Dies Moines, Ia, brother of Gen. Sherman,
alleges that the general was shamefully
treated by G. A. X. men wearing Phil Sheri-
dan post badges on his return yesterday
from the Milwaukee eucampment At the
station the general was shown into a car.
but he had scarcely settled when "a crowd of
q. A. X members swooped down on the car
and claimed it, saying the seats wore all
taken. They wouldn't consent to the gen.
eral remaining in the car, and Mr. Sber-
man was compelled to find seat in a for
ward car for his brother. The general was
so exercised over the occurrence that in
stead Of remaining over day in Chicago
with his brother, as he originally intended,
he sud lenly charged his mind and took
New York train without even going to a
hotel Gen. Alger, when told OF the re-
ported rudeness, said it was almost beyond
belief and thought that either Gen Sher-
man was mistaken or the men did not know

Better Treated at Milwaukee.
The general was better treated at Milwau-
kee. He walked down the main stairway of
the PlankintOn house yesterday morning,
planning strategic movement 10y which he
could reach the bookkepper's ear without be-
ing detained by several hundred people, who
would probably want TO shake hands and tell
him they were with him at Atlanta, etc
After rejecting a monument he decided to
run the blockade, which he did, reaching the
desk without moestation.

audacity to do such thing without per-

There Were No Extras.
"Ain't there no extrasp asked Sherman,
his grim old features relaxing into some
thing of a smile

-Four Fatalities.
CUMBERLAND, Nd, Aug. Shorty five
miles from Cumberland, belonging to the
Consolidated Coal company, yesterday
morning when the wall between it and the
adjoining worked-out Boston, or Etna,
mine gave way from press re of water in
the old mine. 1t flowed steadily in strong
stream over four feet in depth and there
were grave fears for the men inside. Hours
passed before any relief could be obtained
by the men inside, and outside the deep con-
Germ of wives, children and loving friends
was depicted on every countenance.
A Brave Man to the Rescue.
Finally the water had subsidized to depth
that would allow entrance to the mine and
H p. Meem, the mining engineer of the
company, started in alone in search of the
imprisoned men, none of the outsiders being
willing TO venture. After wading through
the water against strong current up to his
arm pits and over irregular bed $40
feet, he came to group of forty -three men
who told him of a man and boy being in a
distant room. No one would go to their
relief
Well Done, Meemi
He started on anew and finding the two,
place the boy on his shoulders and, biddi ng
the man to follow, turned back and Joined
the group. The men seemed terrified and
without judgment They declined to go for
ward until after much persuasion, and then
only after Meem had taken the lead with the
child on his shoulders. Fortunately all es-
capped The water was an accumulation of
years and is still flowing at considerable
depth though with less force.
Heavy Loss to the Company.
The loss 10 the coal company is said to be
heavy; the full extent will not be ascertained
until the water has entirely subsidized.
Mems courage in entering the mine and the
hope and encouragement he gave the en-
tombed miners when he met them may be
justly considered their salvation. He is
certainly the beneficiary to many a loving
heart in homes that would be grief stricken,
where widows tears and orphans cries
would prevail in place of joyful and thank
full hearts, had he not ventured.

ABOUT BAKING POWDERS.
The United States Chemist Says They Are
Generally "AlI Right"

Inc united states Chemist = iys They Are
Generally "AlI Right"
WASHINGTON CITY, Aug 81 The baking
powder investigation which las been con-
Quoted under the direction of The chemist of
the United States department Of agriculture,
DR. II. w. Wiley, has been completed and
the results have been compiled in bulletin
which is now ready for the press. The anal
Uses of large number of samples of various
baking powders purchased foI that purpose
and the conclusions derived therefrom are
not such as to create any general alarm lest
the American people should su der injury to
health from the use of baking powders At
the same time they show cor clusively the
error of the popular impression prevailing
hitherto that ali the chemicals used in the
production of baking powders are expelled
during the process of baking. As to the
character of the residue left in the bread and
its effect upon health, the bulletin assigns
the decision of that important point to the
physicians, holding that the strict line of
duty OF the chemist ends with revealing the
constituents.
Result of the Anal gses.
The analyses OF twelve pow iers are given
their selection being based upon the proper
ton OF available carbonic acid, which, in
conjunction with the minimum of alkaline
residue, is the great test OF excellence in
baking powder. Although the investiga-
tons show that even with the best of tartrate
powders the residue remaining in one loaf of
bread prepared with it WIS of the same
character as seidlitz powder and in quantity
exceeded that of an ordinary seidlitz powder
by more than 80 per cent still in this as
most cases, the character of the residue
in the proportion found can hardly be re-
garded as generally hurtfuL An exception
ought to be made in regard to the class of
powders tanning alum, TO which there is
more serious objection; but ev en- i'll regard TO
that class there seems to be some difference
of opinion

In connection with the analyses Dr.
Champion, by whom the practical work was
done and the bulletin prepa red, gives some
