A TEST STRUGGLE.
X Strike at Southampton that Is Leading

A Strike at Southampton that Is Leading
 to DisOrderly Acts.
 LONDON, Sept. 9.-The strike of dock laborers, coal handlers and sailors at Southampton is likely to develop into e test struggle between the unions and the employers.
 Business at the docks is wholly sus- pended, the company having been un- able as yet to bring a working force of non-union men through the very effective lines of pickets which the union men are maintaining.
 A number of non union men who came in on railway trains during the day were assaulted by the strikers after the peaceable methods of persua sion had failed to turn them back These disorderly acts grew so frequen t that the authorities sent to London fo r assistance, and Q detachment of Metro politan police were sent on by train to assist in preserving the peace and pro- tecting such non-union mon as could be induced to go to work.

The Pennsylvania COmpany's offices at
 Altoona Set on Fire.
 ALTOONA, Pa., Sept. 9.-Lightning struck the offices of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company at noon and in few minutes the building was ablaze.
 The building was badly gutted before the fire could be extinguished. Great damage was also done by water, and 1t is feared that valuable records and memoranda are ruined. The loss, which cannot be estimated at present, will be heavy.
 There was great excitement for 5 time among the hundreds of clerks em . ployed in the building, but all escaped though there was several who were suffocated. All railroad business is temporarily suspended.
 The lightning entered the telegraph room in which are stored tons of paper and the fire communicating with these gained great headway.

 CREss0N SPRINGS, Pa., Sept. 9.-Presi- dent Harrison, accompanied by ex. Congressman and Mrs. Ward of Ches- ter, enjoyed a pleasant drive to Loretto. |.

He was invited to go through the con- vent, but not desiring to delay, deferred that pleasure until a later visit. On the return trip Mir. Ward drove through Gallitzen, where @ crowd of urchins recognized the President and greeted him with, "Ah, there, Harrison" The President acknowledged the salute by raising his hat. The urchins followed the carriage. hurrahing for President Harrison and the Republican party.
 Early last evening very elaborate and costly tea was given in honor of the President and his family by Hon. B. F. Jones. The Harrisons and Hal lords attended en masse and had & royal good time. It is the first TO- union sinee the arrival of the Presi- dent in which gentlemen have par ticipated. The decorations were very elaborate.
 Last night President Harrison re- ceived the election returns from Maine, arrangements having been made during the day with the special representa- tives of the United and Associated press to have their bulletin services extended to this point.
 Both President Harrison and Score tary Halford express themselves As feeling much improved since their ar rival here and both show that the pure bracing air has begun to have it's effect upon them. The latter part of this week will be given up to short excur- sions to points of interest in this sec :ion. MT. George E. Boyd has made arrangements to show the Executive all there is to be seen here and it is likely that Johnstown and Rhododen- dron Parks will be among the places visited.

Illinois has the greatest rail-
way mileage of any state in the
Union, 1864; Kansas comes sec
ond with S,810 miles.
AL lines of trade are improy-
ing rapidly. The almost unpar-
alleled advance in the price Of
corn and other products has had a
salutary effect in driving the cry
of dull times away. The farmer
is now getting good price for his
produce, and while the corn crop
IS little short, most other crops
will make fair yield.
"A business man who also owns
a farm in n western Missouri coun-
ty, states that the ground he had
in flax this year paid him 50 per
acre, after settling all expenses,
including paying for the help nee
essary to cultivate the ground, har-
vest the flax, etc. He also says
that his farm is paying him better
than the same amount of money
invested in his business. He be-
lieves that money can be made in
farming even where all the help
has to be hired, if proper manage
ment is used
