CINCINNATI, O., June 5.-The freight hand
lers on all the roads here, except the
Louisville g. Nashville, have stopped work
because their demand for an increase in
wages was not Immediately granted. The
railroad managers wanted the men to con-
.tnue at work until Saturday and receive
their answer then, but the men quit work
and no freight has been received since p.
m. The demand is forten hours day, and
that those now receiving $1.S5 should be
paid $1.60 per day and those receiving $1.45
should receive $1-75. There were about 500
men involved. The effect on business is
paralysis, except so far as one road and the
express companies can give relief. There Is
general impression that the demand viii DC

wreck ON the Northern Pacific.

HELENA, MeNT.-No. fast Pacific express
on the Northern Pacific railway was wrecked
as it was entering the yards at Drummonn,
fifty miles west of this city. The accident
was caused by what railway men call 'isun
kink," or an expansion of the rails by heat.
All the train except two sleepers passed safely
over, but these two cars were thrown down &
thirty foot embankmeut, and had not the
train been running slowly the result would
have been fearful. Both sleepers were filed
and the passengers were thrown violently
into heap IN the front ends.
One lady passenger was killed and twelve
other people severely injured.

CHICAGO, July 5.-The western roads have
agreed to advance freight rates to the Mis-
souri, river and st. Paul 10 cents per 100
pounds on first class and proportionately Oh

a scale of rates on the basis of 20 cents first

LONDON, July 5.-An indications point to
determined effort, led by Mr.. Howard Vim
cent, in the British parliament, to discrimin-
ate against the United States exports in re-

government, however, has so much important
business on the list that it is unlikely that
such measure, involving radical depart
ure from the free trade principles of half
century, would receive serious consideration
during the present session. In France, how

Corn is doing well. although in the eastern
and far west counties it needs rain. The
wheat harvest is over in the eastern and
middle divisions, and much of the wheat in
stack, while in the western division it is still
in progress except in the southern counties,
where the wheat. rye and barley are now in
the stack. In the eastern division the oat
harvest has progressed we'll towards compile
ton and the fax harvest has begun. In the
central division the oat harvest is in full
progress. The oat crop is not as uniform as
the wheat, ranging from poor in some sec
tons to very good IN others.
The hay harvest has begun in many coun-
ties, but the wild grass Is much lighter than
last year. Timothy and clover are good. In
Woodson new hay is being bales and shipped.
Blackberries are ripe, south, but the hot, dry
weather is deleterious to all fruits in the
eastern counties.

A feature of the entertainment not

of the latter's mode of performing tricks.

fraud was employed, and in response to
this challenge came to the ex-aldermar

ten minutes. The ex alderman accepted
the challenge, but whether or not he ap-
