Mysterious Disappearance of q Draft
Causes an Iowa Farmers Arrest.
DUBUQUE, Special Telegram, July 1s.-A
case that battles the officers of the law
turned up in this city to-day. Jan. 10,
1880, Jacob Farr of Ceda, county bought a
draft for $3.50 from the First National bank
of Upton. The draft was in favor of his
father, Phillip Farr of Mincrsville, Ohio.
1t was enclosed in an envelope and directed
to him, but never reached its destination.
On Feb. "a following Cedar county farmer
named Phillip Harrington presented draft
OF the same amount to the bank in Olin.
On being questioned as to how he came by
it, he stated that it was sent by a man
in Montana, to whom he loaned
several hundred dollars thirty years ago,
and that it had just been paid with the in
terest. The draft was then paid by the
cashier. The president of the bank after
wards learned Of the disappearance of the
draft sent by Jacob Farr and went out to see
Harrington about the matter. He asked to
see the letter and envelope i'll which the
Montana draft came, but Farrington's
daughter stated that they had been burned.
harrington was then arrested and appeared
in this city to-day. Harrington stated that
the letter and envelope had not been de-
stroyed and that he could produce them.
The case was therefore continued. It is be-
ieved the draft is forgery, but how Far
rington got hold of the original is mys-

nished the plans for the boat. which
was called the New Orleans. It was
a stern wheeler Of about 200 tons

sails, which were used when the wind
was fair. The hull of this pioneer
Mississippi craft was 1873 feet in
length, 30 feet beam, and the cost OF
the whole, including engines, has
been figured at about $4,000.
Roosevelt and his family, with an

ASHLAND, Wis, Special Telegram, July
'1S.-Thc employees of thAAhree large Wash
burn saw mills strucki to-day for eleven
hours pay for ten hodfs work. Tonight
a large mill employees meeting was held
here, and the question Sf astrike was dis
cussed. The decisio9a las that the men go
out commencing to-nidsfpw, and refuse tc
work until their demand is granted. They
are very much in earnest, and, though pre-
diotions are unsafe, it now looks like week
or two of strike. All classes deplore the
shape matters are in, yet but very little in
the way of condemnation is heard from any
quarter, either of the men or of the posi-
ton of the employers. The mill owners
say they will not grant the demand OF the
men. They say, q lawyer named 0'Keefe,
representing the union, is at the head of
the movement here, and that if they grant
the demand framed by him it will result in
further unreasonable demands which no
business can stand. They believe O'Kcefe
is leading the ten-hour movenl mt solely to
give himself prominence. They also con-
tend that wages are higher in the mills here
than at any other mills in the West, and
that under all the circumstances the men
should he satisfied. They say they are fight
ing for principle, and will not give up.
There is talk tonight that the strike will
involve suspension of shipping, the long
shoremen having made common cause
with the mill men.

A Chicago Judge Renders a Decision ON
an Important Question.
CHICAGO, July 1S.-A decision was rem
dered by Judge Tuley to-day in case in
volving an important question said never
to have been passed upon before by any
court. 1t was a suit by Oppenheimer l.
Co., manufacturers of sausage castings in
Chicago and New York, to prevent
by injunction George J. sayre, a former
employe, from going into the same busi-
ness in illinois and ten other states within
three years from the date he ceased to be in
their employ. The consideration named in
the contract was 81.
Judge Tuley decided that as a result of
modern methods of commerce, it made no
difference whether the contract was as to
one or more states, but that as the COM
plainant was only employed from
week to week week, he was made to
one week he would mortgage his liberty Of
action and practically his means of liveli-
might do in law it would answer in equity
to reply that all other pursuits and trades
were open to him. The injunction was
dissolved.

THE FER Y ELF hfENT

Building in New Yorl-
Rapidity With Which the
Flames Destroy Some
thing Remarkable.

New York, July l8.-The Western Union
telegraph building caught fire at o'clock
this morning. The distributing room on
the fifth floor, the operating room on the
floor above, the associated press rooms and
completely destroyed. James Larrissey. q
wire man, was the first to discover the fire,
About the same time Mr.. Tobin, night
chief noticed an odor of burning rubber,
leading g from A'tf tie battery room 1 to 'h.s the
operating room, saw smoke very distinctly.
The flames followed the wires, which, be-
ing covered with rubber, oil and parrafine,
were very inflammable, to the room be-
hind the great switchboard, and soon all of
the woodwork was burning. The fire
lcapcd from table to table and to the Win
dow and door castings, and all efforts of the
men on duty to suppress it by the appli-
ances at hand were unavailing
Ali above the sixth floor is destroyed,
carpets, papers, etc. The fifth and other
floors below are soaked with water. The
battery and storage rooms occupied the
sixth floor. The operating room and gal
lery. devoted to the work of the Gold &
Stock company, occupied the entire seventh
the bookkeeping department the entire
eighth floor. On the ninth floor were the
Western Union files.
The loss to building and fixtures is esti-
mated at $25O,0oO. The telegraph company
divided its operating force among SUBJ
Offices at Twenty-third street, New York:
Jersey City, Brooklyn and Weehawken,
from which business will be done
temporarily. Meanwhile quarters are
being prepared at the old Balti-
more & Ohio office, at AS Broadway.
The fire burned out the Ship News cable
and no dispatches have been received to-
day from Fire Island, Sandy Hook or
Quarantine. All the commercial exchanges
were cut off from quotations by the fire,
and the outside business transacted in
them was meagcr. The suspension of the
telegraph facilities had worse effect than

Naphtha and lsenzine Shipped ON Bo..,.

Naphtha and Benzine Shipped on Bo."s
Contrary to Law.
CHICAGO July 18.-The coroner's inquest
in tle matter Of the explosion on the steam,
er Toga was continued to-day. City Oil
Inspector Grain testified that he had several
times found naphtha on board vessels in
this harbor shipped by the Genessee Oil
Company of Buffalo. They were simply
marked "Diamond B." and the witness
said he had no doubt that both the Gen.
nesseo company in Buffalo and its branch
house here had knowledge of the violation
ofthe law in this respect.
The coroner tn explained to the Jury
that Alonzo Bedford, the Chicago agent OF
poennd to be present, but that he was not
now to be found. At the afternoon session
Mark j. Griffin, bookkeeper of the Gennesee
Oil company, testified that the company
frequently received naphtha by the steam
boat line, and he thoug ght it was an under
stood thing between the company and the
steamboat lines that the mark Diamond
B" meant naphtha or benzinc.
The treasury. department at Washington
has taken cognizance of the case, and has
ordered the seizure of the Tioga's cargo OF
oil for violation of the United States stat
utes. Treasury Agent Kehoe went to South
Chicago, where the oil is stored, to take
possession Of it on behalf Of the govern.
ment.

MANY places in the South show
that whites are now increasing much
faster than the negroes. Thcre may
be one or two Gulf States, and per-
.hnps only one, where negroes are
concentrating. That one, rather
,curiously, is Mississippi, which is
known as the home of Jefferson
Davis, president of the Confederacy,
based in the policy of keeping the
colored people of the South in per-
petual servitude. Many white own
