with four pieces of artillery and 900 men, crossed
the river at Blue Rock and Joined General
Galan. of the Guatemalan army, whose forces
consist of 5000 men and four pieces of artillery.
After crossing the river the San Salvador
troops fired upon their countrymen upon the
other side and few shots were exchanged.
The Guatemalan troops did not fire shot.
A letter dated Chingo, Guatemala, says:
The fight at Blue Rock proves to have been
more serious than was at first reported. It
seems that some 2, 900 Guatemalan troops came
to the assistance of tho Salvador troops. and
the regular troops of General Ezeta drove
them back and scattered them, capturing eight
pieces of artillery The defeated troops retired
to Jutapa, their ammunition being exhausted.
The pickets of the Guatemalan troops were
fire upon at Contepeque, about six miles from
here, this morning. Although war has not
yet been declared, big fight is expected daily,
as this is the only point where Ezeta and his MS
army can enter Guatemala. There are 800
troops mere. U40 more at Contepeque and 5000
scattered along the frontier east from here.
The force here is under command of General
Cuyetzano and Captain B. Emile, a French
artillery engineer, is second in command.
There are "a pieces of artillery here. which
were brought over 130 miles of mountain road
by Captain Emile. He had to use 460 mules,
besides oxen, to get the guns over one hill.
The troops are in good copditlon. and are well
armed. Work on the trenches is being pushed
rapidly.

WHISKY MEMS LOSS.
NEARLY 81, ooo, 900 WORTH OF PROPERTY
DESTROYED BY FIRE.

Large Distillery md Other Buildings Burned
sufTer-Over a Million Gallons of Liquor
Lost.
LOUISVILLE, August 14.-At II o'clock
this morning fire was discovered issuing
from the bonded warehouse of the Kentucky
Distilling Company on Storey avenue, near
Frankfort, in the extreme eastern part OF
the city.
The distillery proper caught fire in mo-
ment. and before the fire department could
get to work the whole establishment was a
furnace of flames. The fire spread to the
Great Western Pork House, on the east,
and from that to the old Kentucky Woolen
Mills, one of the largest jeans manufacture
ing concerns in the South.
It was o'clock before the fremen got
control, and this was not until the immense
warehouse, the distillery proper, the cattle
sheds and the slaughter house and pork
packing establishment of Conrad &c Seller,
which adjoins the warehouse had been
wiped out completely. The loss to the pork
packing company will be about $50, 900. The
remaining loss of nearly or quite $500, 900
is on the dlstillery proper and destroyed
whisky. This loss is divided among IL
whisky firms for whom Julius Barkhouse as
President of the Kentucky Distilling Com
pany, manufactures whisky. These
firms are the Kentucky Dlsrilling Company;
Max Hofheimer & Co., S. Lehman 8, Sons,
J. M. Miller & Co.. Bernheim Distilling
Company, Buck, Frank & Co., Kentucky
Blue Grass DistiIling Company and j. G,
Marks g Co. These IL firms had among
them in the warehouse 23,711 packages,
mostly in barrels, or !, ,12O, ut gallons. This
whisky is valued at 500, 900 in round num-
bers.
The machinery and other contents of the
building brings the total of the distilling
company's loss up to $500, This is ire
spective of the loss to the Government in
unpaid taxes, 80 cents gallon, which will
amount to S981, ,635, making total loss by
the fire not much less than $2.00O,000.
The insurance is roughly placed at $780,
900, divided up among the different losers.
Some OF the local companies are caught for
large sums. Several foreign companies,
however, carried some of the loss.

BLOWN TO ATOMS.
Life DESTROYED In n Terrible Why by a
Boiler Explosion.


NEwBERRY, s. c., August 14-News
reached here to-day of terrible boiler ex-
plosion which occurred this morning at a
country sawmill II miles west OF Newberry,
on DIR. W. M. Dorron's place. Four men,
one white and three colored, were killed and
two colored men seriously wounded.
Pickens P. Matthews, a white son
of the owner of the mill met
with an awful fate. He was literally
blown to atoms, his limbs being found some
distance from the scene of the explosion,
and other portions OF his body suspended in
trees. The colored men, Carey, Davis,
Thomas Ellison and William Chambers,
had their heads blown of, and were other
wise terribly mutilated. Milton Rabb, col
ored. had his thigh badly smashed, and
Wait Davis was fearfullv scalded.
A colored boy named Young was the only
one who escaped uninjured. he says that
the pump was out of order and the engine
had been stopped. Ellison, the colored
engineer, and, the other colored men
were around the furnace of the engine, and
Matthews was working with the pump when

Ohclal Statements Regarding the Three
Notes Signed by MIR. Nimick.
President O'Neil gives the following ex-
PLANTATION of the cause of the suit against the
local IN. L. club mentioned in yesterdays DIS
PATCH: ~
"The trouble grew out of the transfer of
games of the Allegheny club. In the Indian
apolis deal it was agreed that Brush should be
paid in notes made payable at Washington in
equal instsllments two, three, four and five
months. These notes were given in part by
each club in proportion to their supposed at
tendance during 1890, based upon the attend
ance of 1889. Each club, at the conclusion of
every home game, was TO remit to President
Young 10 per cent of the gross gate receipts
Under this method it will be noticed that if
the attendance of one club at home exceeded
its calculated proportion It would pay more
than the amount set apart for 1t to pay, the
whole transaction to be balanced at the end of
the year, and So adjusted that each club would
pays its proper share, and no club was to pay
more than 10 per cent of its gate receipts. The
Pittsburg club during the season up to this
time has transferred i've games to Chicago,
seven games to Cincinnati, ten games to Phiia-
delphia and six games to Brooklyn. The 10 per
cent on these games having been remitted to
President Young by the various home clubs,
viz: Chicago. Cincinnati, Philadelphia and
Brooklyn, the PittsDurg club has received no
credit whatever for the remittances on this ac-
count. While the amount remitted on &C.
more than enough to pay these notes, President
Young claims he has no right TO apply the
money mentioned to the Pirtsburg notes"
Messrs. O'Neil and Nimick had q meeting
yesterday afternoon, and decided not to pay
the notes, but to compel the payment from the
proper source. However, they will pay the
amounts they owe the League on the last home
games directly on the notes.

CHICAGO, August IA shop strike
among the iron molders is threatened in
Chicago, and one was nearly precipitated
on Wednesday by Northside firm receiv-
ing and casting pan for quartz mill on
an order from San Francisco.
Secretary Healy, of the Trades and Labor
Assembly, and member of the Molders'
Union, said to-day that a strike would in
evitably result were the foundries to accept
orders from San Francisco, as strike was
in progress there. 81 don't care to mention
the name of the firm referred to, as they
promised the shop committee to refuse any
further orders from firms where strike is
on. The Molders' Union numbers about
1,60O, and, as good men are scarce, it is
hardly probable any more patterns will be
made here"

THE SURVEY COMPLETED.

Sizing Up the Old Poor Farm Property and
Commencing on the New One.
Assistant City Engineer W. S. Wakefield
completed the surveys of the old Poor Farm
property yesterday. Owing to rush of
other city work, Mr.. Wakefield did not
have sufficient time to make the necessary
calculations to show whether the property is
larger or smaller than the article of sale
specifies. He will at once commence the
work of surveying the Stewart farm, which
will occupy period of ten days.
A serious obstacle has arisen which may
possibly prevent the consummation of the
purchase of the Stewart farm. City Attor-
ney Moreland states that it is optional with
Mayor Gourley whether or not he signs the
deed of sale.
