FIGHT WITH OUTLAWS.
Kentucky State Troops Have a Battle with
Band of DesperadOes.

Kentucky State Troops Have a Battle With
Band of Desperadoes.
LoUI1vILLE, KY, April ia special
from Harlan Court House, says:
A deadly fight occurred yesterday
morning at leo o'clock, seventeen miles
east of here, upin the Black mountains,
between a detail of the State troops,
consisting of sixteen privates, Lieu
tenant Milton and Sergeant Pullian, and
about thirty outlaws, who were fortified
in an old barn. Five of the soldiers
were wounded. 1t is not known how
many of the outlaws were killed, as
they still have possession of the barn.
Corporal Blanton was sent in after re-
Inducements and knows but little, as
he left Immediately after the firing be-
gan. The troops have the barn sur
rounded, and it will be impossible for
those on the inside to make their es-
cape, and the only two roads which
lead from the place of action are cut
off by pickets who are instructed to
allow no one to pass toward town, as it
was thought best to keep the news of
the conflict from the people about here
until after the reinforcements had
reached the place.
1t is believed that severe fight will
take place as soon as the additional
troops reach the place, for the outlaws
are fortified, we'll armed with Winches-
ter rifles and swear that they will not
surrender, and the soldiers are deter
mined and want revenge for those who
have been shot down

REVIEW OF TRADE.
The Weather Has Retarded General Trade
-Industrial Outlook Less Favorable.

Industrial Outlook Less Favorable.
NEW YORK, April 19.-Bradstreet's
State of Trade, published to-day, will
say: Special reports show only mod
crate movement in general merchandise
at Philadelphia, New York, Boston and
New Orleans. at St Louis cold, stormy
weather, with resulting heavy roadways
In tributary region, have retarded the
general trade, and even at Chicago ad-
verse weather influences have had the eff
feet on several lines, notably millinery
and clothing. There have been slight
gains at Memphis, st. Paul and Omaha,
but at Cincinnati and Kansas City the
situation remains practically un-
changed. The industrial outlook is less
favorable. For the seventeen DAYS of
April there were 76 strikes, 81, 542 strik-
ers and $4,000 employees idle in conse-
quence reported, as compared with
81 strikes and II, 1913 strikers for
the whole of April, 1889. The
snow blockades on the Pacific roads in
February decreased net earnings. The
gain in net on 106 roads during that
month was only per cent, as against
Is per cent in January over last year.
AOA 1uO 1ISb OiIIlC III SOul0 Ouo
coal roads group showed gain in net
over the preceding year. For two
months the net earnings show gain of
9.3 per cent over 1889 for like period.
There is no change in the generally
unfavorabie position of the iron
and steel markets judged from the point
of view of the makers. Steel rails are
so cents lower per ton and nails very
unsettled as to prices. Exports of wheat
land flour as wheat) from both coasts in
the United States this week equal 2, 146,-
646 bushels, against 1, 419, 927 bushels in
the like week of 1889. Exports from
July to date equal IS, 446, ,O40 against
1,6S6, 100 bushels in the like portions
of 1SsS-S9. The stocks of wheat at
nearly 1000 points accumulation east
of the Rocky mountains decreased
1889, S13 bushels last week, at
which rate for the next fortnight the
stocks available on May promise to be
slightly in excess of those held year
ago. Dry goods are in better distri-
button at retail and there is some slight
gainin the recorder demand. Price conces-
sions are still feature. Agents report
better demand for fall dress goods and
some gain in the West and South.

DEPUTY UNITED STATES MARSHAL
BALLoU has returned from trip thror gh
Sumner and Macon Counties, where he
made two arrests The most important
was that of William Hodges, a fine
specimen of manhood, and brother and
partner of Wiley Hodges, who was ar
rested recently while running his
still in Sumner county. William
Hodges was at work in field when Mr..
Ballow walked up, introduced himself,
and shook hands. Hodges had evident
ly been approached by candidates, for,
with a knowing smile, he inquired
"What erunnin fur" Mr.. Ballou re-
piled that he intended running for
president some day but his present bus
iness was running for moonshiners. He
thereupon took Hodges in charge and
he was bound over to the coming term
ofcourt.
SUIT was entered in the Circuit Court
at Nashville last week against DIR. Dun
can Eve, DIR. Paul T. Eve and DIR. W.
II. Harrison by Mrs. Mary E. Slayden
for 80, 600 damages. Mrs. Slayden claims
that the physicians named are respon-
sible for the death of her husband, who
expired while under the influence of
chloroform administered by them, pre-
paratory to the performance of a sur
gical operation. She further alleges
that the anBsthetic was administered
despite the protest of her husband, who
was subject to heart disease.
THE Nashville union of Sheet Metal
Workers struck last week, as their en-
ployers refused to accede to their de-
mand for more pay and fewer hours.
Nearly 100 timers and copper workers
left their various shops, informing
their bosses that they would not re-
turn to work until some agreeable set
tlement was arranged.
A KNIGHTS OF HONOR LODGE was in
stituted at Troy last week.
Four negroes confined in the cou nty
Jail at Clarksville made successful
break for liberty last week. They over
powered the turnkey, took the keys,
locked him in a cell and skipped. Two
of the negroes have been captured.
Scott Bennett, who was sentenced to
the penitentiary for five years at the
last term of the Criminal Court, was one
of them He is the worst one in the
gang, and there is general joy at the
capture. The sheriff and posse are on
the track of the others, and in
all probability will capture them,
as they have succeeded in locating
them.

The Free Love Editor Found Guilty-Other
Indictments Against Him.
TOPEKA, Kan, April 19.-In the
United States District Court yesterday
morning Judge Foster charged the jury
in the case of Moses Harmon, editor of
the Lucifer. He instructed them that
they would have to bring in a verdict of
guilty, unless they should conclude that
the defendant was insane, in which
case he would have to be discharged.
1t was thought the intimation as
to Harmon's sanity was likely to
have an effect in his favor. E. W.
Chamberlain, of New York, arrived yes
terday morning and will represent Har-
mon if any other indictment is taken up
against him. Mr.. Chamberlain represents
the National Defense Association, or
ganized to protect men like Harmon, has
been contributor to Lucifer and is said
to be a firm believer in the free love
doctrine. The jury came in at three
o'clock with a verdict of guilty. There
are four other indictments pending
against Harmon.

Its Record in Globe-Trotting From England
East to California.
San Francisco CALL
Via the steamship China, which arrived
on Tuesday, came addressed to the postofice
In this city postal card en- route around
the world. It was started at South Ken
sington, England, on July 2 last, and
reached the several ports as follows: Gibral-
tar, July 8; Port Said. July 16; Suez, on the
the following day; Alden, July IA; Calcutta,
August 6; Hong-Kong, August %; Shang-
hal, September 8; Yokohama, September II,
and San Francisco. September 30.
Assistant Postmaster John G. Quinn
stated to a representative that the postal
card had lost about II days by being ad-
dressed to Shanghai. It should, he said,
have been sent from Hong Kong to Yoko-
hama direct. This would have made the
entire trip around the world possible in
about 80 days.
About one month ago the local Office re-
ceived postal card from o. L. Schmidt,
the sender asking as a special favor that
this postal be forwarded across the United
States. Perhaps he knew from the post
master at South Kensington that some such
communication is necessary, for the laws of
the United States do not permit of the for
warding of such tramp" letters without an
American stamp on it.
This is only meant on the part of the
Government to curb a useless and often
foolish desire on the part OF the senders to
have something that had passed around the
globe Besides, as business proposition,
the custom Of sending such missives is to be
deprecated. The card in question was sent
from South Kensington during the Jubilee
Conversations, and is for scientific pur-
poses 1t will be received next at Mont
real, wither 1t was sent last night.

Everybody, in fact, looks jolly. The

An example OF nineteenth century venge-
ance has been offered by such dis
tinguished person as Mrs. William Astor,
says the New York World. 1t is related
that a young woman at Newport, two or
three seasons ago, manuvred very in
geniously and energeticaIly to make a
matrimonial catch of young John Jacob
Astor. Although Mrs. William Astor sig
nified her displeasure in no unmistakable
way the young woman did not withdraw.
Thereupon Mrs. Astor refused to go to any
house where the young woman was received,
and very shortly the latter found all the
doors in Newport closed TO her.

AN EYE TO BUSINESS.
INSURANCE OF WOMEN,
Not a Very Desirable Risk In England,
Though Some Are Accepted.

Not a Very Desirable Risk In England,
Though Some Are Accepted.
The number of women who insure their
lives, says Miss Mantilini, in the Pail Mai!
Budget. scarcely averages per cent, an in
surance agent told ME the other day. Few
OF the agencies, strange to say, care about
enrolling them. women are not bread
winners" said the agent, $50 their lives
have no monetary value. Under some cir
cumstances we should be suspicious of a
woman who wanted to be insured, We
should imagine she expected 10 die
soon, or her husband would have in
sured instead. No, it's our business to
look up the men. Nevertheless, we have q
few women on the books. The rates are q
little heavier for women, on account Of
their health being so precarioua We charge
unmarried women 1 per cent extra for the
hrst year on each 100 OF insurance. Wemen
OF sound health with children are often put
on equality with men, and these, of course,
escape the additional tax
DO you lind women anxious to insurer
mo, they are rather averse to it, we
think. An agent would have q thankless
time OF it if he eanvassed Tor women alone,
granting, that is, that we wanted them,
which We don't We find that weak men
often put of being insured because they
fancy such an act would shorten their
lives"
