by vigorous rapping on his door at
1881 East Ninth street. He met at the
threshold a very excited man, the
brother of Miss ShyrOck, who re-
quested him to go to the clerks Office
and issue process against Split
log at once, as he was
about to leave the city for the Indian
Territory. After the process had been
issued, MeSSrs. Jordon and Shy
rock went in search of Deputy Sheriff
Pollard, whom they aroused from his
sleep at 1O1S Locust street. The three
then repaired in hack to the AStor
house on Union avenue and found that
the willy Indian land owner had sud-
denly packed up his baggage and de-
parted that night. In the hopes that
he had not quit the ely, deputy sher-
if watched the depot nearly all night,
finding at length that Splitlog had
managed to get away in the evening.
Miss Addie Shyrock's suit is brought
on this ground: THAT on the 1st of
August, 1885. while in delicate condi-
ton from III health she was assaulted
and overcome by Matthias Splitlog,
viii oh, on account of her i'll health, had
done her permanent injury.

Plagued with Flies.

DUBUQUE, Iowa, 19.-The city is
just recovering from an invasion by
Mormon flies such as it has never be-
fore known. Wednesday night these
pests came up from the river in great
swarms and gathered about the cleo
trio light so that people were com
PEELED to abandon the streets. The
morning newspapers and telegraph
offices were compelled to close their
windows and doors to escape the tor
ture. These pests spring from sand
beds along the river, and are some
times called sand flies. They are
about an inch long, with broad wings
and spring into existence in few
hours. After flying about the lights
for one night they cease to exist.
Along the levee the buildings were
so thick with these pests that nothing
could be seen but a writhing mass OF
insect life. In many places along the
street they were three inches in depth
where they had fallen dead upon the
pavement. The stencil from theil
| bodies was unbearable and the healtl
authorities had several wagons EN-
ployed in removing the offensive mass
DisinfectantS have been applied. Ole
| settlers along the river say they have
| never seen the like before; and claim
| that it is an indication of an unusually
| hot season.

Destitute Canadian Farmers.

GRAFTON. OAK, July 2O.-Crops in
the Canadian northwest and along the
Dakota line are in bad shape. The
farmers are almost destitute and some
instances are reported where they are
subSisting on field mice and gophers.
In the Canadian northwest proper the
crops are nil. A party of emigrants
from the Souris country were met
Thursday at the boundary line. They
had travelled three hundred miles
through Well-settled country on the
Canadian side without seeing a fair
crop, and say great many settlers are
leaving their land to drive their cattle
to the timbered country on this side.
Some families looked panic-Stricken,
and had eaten nothing but potatoes
and turnips for some months. They
were afflicted with scurvy and were
sacrificing themselves to save their
cattle. At one place northwest from
Turtle Mountain a family of English
emigrants who were travelling back to
the mountains had killed and were
eating young colt. The suffering in
that isolated region will be awful, and
those who have means will leave in
such numbers as to depopulate that

mouth, Ohio.

CHICAGO July 20,-A firm in this
city engaged in the manufacturing of
tin cans and Japanned ware has pat
ented an invention, which, competent
judges say, will revolutionize the
iron and steel industry of the world.
1t is in brief, process by which mol
ten metal may be rolled into any de-
sired shape, thus saving all intermedi-
ate processes. 1t was invented orig
inally to roll molten solder into tin
plates, but the process is pronounced
by experts TO be equally applicable to
iron and steel in its various forms OF
plates, structural iron and rails.
It is believed that the cost of manu-
featuring steel rails can be reduced tC
the extent of $40 per ton, and that thin
iron plates for thinning can be made
much below the cost of production OF
tin plates in Wales, thus making a
new industry in this country
The molten metal is passed between
rollers which is chilled as it passes, The
rollers being kept cool by a stream o.
water which passes through them
Another advantage is that iron an(
steel so rolled will be much more ever
and closer in texture than that mad'
by present methods, being free from
the air holes which result from the in
termediate process.

NEW YORK, July 1s.-AlI day Wall
street was kept busy with reports of
conferences of railroad officials and
bankers, and after the close of ex-
change it was asserted that the sale of
the Chicago s. Alton to the Missouri
Pacific had been completed, and the
first deposit of the purchase money to
the amount of $4,000, 600 had already
been made. The rumOrs carried addi-
tional weight from the fact that Vice
President Mcmillan was already in the
city, and that Chairman Walker, of
the Interstate Commercial association,
and General Manager Clark, of the
Missouri Pacific, are expected every
hour. Neither Kidder, Peabody s. Co.,
nor DrexeI. Morgan u Co., would adj
NIT that they had any knowledge of a
deal, but in spite of this it was gener-
ally believed that important develop
ments were pending and that an
official announcement of the ABSORB
ton OF the Chicago s. Alton would be
made.
