MILWAUKEE,, June ls.-Action vas
taken by the Knights of Labor of Mil
waukee at the last meeting Of the District
Assembly lO8. and made public this at
ternoon which is likely to have an I'M
portant bearing IN state politics, and
which will certainly afford DO encourage
ment to the already thoroughly fright
ened Republican politicians. Aproposi
ton was made and met with the general
approval Of the delegates present to form
a combination with the Farmers Alliance
to place a ticket in the field and unite IN
political endeavor. The cry OF high tar
i'll or lower wages, which has been effec-
tive in times past with Milwaukee labor
ers has almost entirely lost its force. Such
a combination as is proposed would cut
into the Republican ranks both ways-in
loss from the Milwaukee workmen who
have been assisting the party of Blame in
the past, as well as the agriculturists who
have been coddied into voting the Repub
lIcan ticket on war issues and whose
prejudices against the Democrats on the
old lines have restrained chem from Jump
ing over the traces heretofore.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, June ls.-A dis
tinguishe1 party of lovers of the light
harness horse, consisting OF Robert Bon
ner, X. G. Hamlin, Hamilton Busby
and W. r. Allen, which arrived yester-
terday, were treated to a genuine surprise
this morning. Bonner came here to see
his great 4-year-old FLY, Sunol, now in
Charles Marvin's hands for trainging.
Marvin gave the FLY an easy mile about
9 o'clock AMI an hour later brought her
out again She was logged the reverse
way OF the track, taken back to the hall
mile post and headed home. The first
quarter was IN easy one, but at the
t~hree-Juarter pole Marvin gave Sun
oil her head. She came so smooth
that few supposed it would be a fast
quarter. Faster and faster she came
around the turn and in a breath almost
she had done the quarter in 81 is sec
onds or at the rats of 2:04 4 5 for a mile.
Nine watches caught the time and all
agreed precisely. There was suppressed
excitement among the spectators and joy
in Boomers face. The track was soft with
exercise and the harrow and in no con-
dition for fast trials. All horsemen claim
that the last quarter was at least a second
slower than the third quarter and that
had the track been prepared for fast
work Sunol could have stepped the third
quarter easily in thirty seconds. :

COLUMBUS, o, June lS.-Governor
Campbell today COMMITTED the sentence Of
Charles Blythe. the colored murderer of
Col. A. @. Jones of Cincinnati, to i'm
prisonment for life. The plea was self
defense, which was corroborated by the
fact that Col. Jones was a very irritable
man. He was nearly 70-Years old. how
ever. and the fact that after killing the
old man Blythe robbed him operated
against any show of mercy. Col. Jones
was surgeon general on the staff of Gov
ernor Foraker at the time be was muir
dered. Governor Campbell also granted
a respite until Aug. 90 to Isaac Smith,
charged with numbering his cousin. and

MrsIed.b, am Oriental Villain.

NEW YORK, June ls.-The big Fall
River boat Puritan, which got investerday
morning, had two very mysterious pas
sengers on board. One was Sam Hing,
a cunning-looking Chinaman, whose face
did not tell whether he was twenty or
forty and the other was a blue-eyed little
girl OF fifteen. Both Travelled on frst-class
tickets, but on the trip down the sound
they kept aloof from each other and didn't
give the officers and the other passengers
the slightest sign that they were making
the trip together. When the Puritan was
fastened to her dock the Chinaman en-
gagged a hack to drive himself and the
girl, who by this time was at his side,
to IL Mott street. The driver suspected
something wrong and drove them instead
to a police station. There the girls story
showed she had been enticed away from
her home in Providence by the Chinaman,
who had promised her silk dresses and
diamond rings. The number where they
were to be driven on Mott street was the
same one where the Chinese girl Suen
Yee, who had been bought in San Fran
cisco for 5000 was imprisoned for more

beyond control Of the engines with all
the brakes set. The speed quickened
until a tremendous rate was reached
when suddenly the rails spread and the

Tunsall and Fireman Taylor were killed

DUNBAR, Pa, June ls.-All hope of
being able to rescue the entombed men in
the Farm Hill men alive is abandoned.
The difficult work of reaching the death
chamber from the Mahoney mine is pro-
crossing, and is now supposed to be with
in about twenty feet Of the objective
point. 1t is believed that another explo-
sion occurred this morning. There was a
heavy fall of earth or rock in the main
slope, shutting off the draft and turning
back the smoke in the direction of the
doomed men, making death all the more
certain, if it has not already occurred.

Remarkable swimming Feat.

New YORK. June l7.-"Gene" Mer-
cadier, the southern trick swimmer, swan
across the East river yesterday from the
Brooklyn navy yard to pier No. l9, East
river, on the New York side, in torty-6ye
minutes. His arms were bound together
with seventy-hye feet OF rope and two
leather straps. lu each OF his hands he
held a two pound dumb bell. Steve
Brodie, the jumper, attired in his Boyton
suit, ACCOMPANIED the swimmer so as to
be on hand in case assistance should be
needed. From the handle of Steve's
paddle hoated a small American flag
which notified the boats in the river to
keep at a distance. Mercadier fell into
the water at ll:l2 a IN, and Immediately
sank. Hundreds of sightseers had
gathered at the navy yard to see him
start, and from them arose a shout of
fear lest he should not come to the surface.
Their anxieties were groundless. In less
than a minute he came up with some ap-
parent difficulty. He managed to turn
himselfin the water, back down, and
after drawing in a good supply of air he
commenced his voyage. propellinR him
self along by drawing bis knees up as far
as he could and then suddenly straighting
them with all his power. On arriving at
the New York side Mercadier was helped
ashore by two friends who were ex-
pecting him. The water was very cold and
the swimmer shivered as he was assisted
into a neiRhboring store, where he was
rubbed down. When Brodie wa seen
after coming out OF the water he said
that he had assisted Mercadler twice by
placing his hand under Mercadier's chin
for a few moments in order to give him
rest. Steve thought the feat was a most
remarkable one. He thinks MercadIer
will be successful 10 the one next Sunday
