for the various walls. Instantly the sen
tries began firing. Other officers of the
institution were quickly at hand, and with
drawn revolvers som massed the ganein
groups. After a hard fight In which
clubs were used and many conviots' heads
badly crushed, word was quickly sent to

200 policemen reached the station IN pa
troll wagons. 1t Is not thought that any
OF the prisoners are seriously wounded.

sided 1t impossible to saw what the result
of the shooting was. The guard on the

To Unite Railroad Employees.

New YORK, Aug. President Com
pers, of the American federation OF labor,
returned to-day from Louisville, where he
had addressed representatives of the rail
road brotherhoods. He said: Il did not
go there to ask them to join the American
federation, and there wa no talk OF any
thing of the kind. | urged them to unite
among themselves, as Mr.. Arthur's policy
of isolation for each brotherhood was I'M
worthy of so grand an organization.
There Is a general feeling in favor of this
step, and it is only the engineers defer
ence to Mr.. Arthur's experience and ad-
vice that has kept them from taking it
long ago. The brotherhood of locomotive
engineers holds it, next convention in Oc-
tober, and | believe it will settle the
whole thing then. The question of join
ing the federation will be in order after

1 was recently told the following story
of a piece of silverware now existing in
the plate room at Marlborough house.
One day the Prince of Wales, on alight-
ing from his carriage at the door of a
house where he was about to pay a visit,
saw a blind man and his dog vainly try
ing to effect a passage across the thor,
oughfare in the midst Of a throng of
carriages. With characteristic good
nature the prince came to the rescue,
and successfully piloted the pair to the
other side of the street. A short time
afterward he received a massive silver
inkstand with the following inscription:
''To the Prince of Wales. From one
who saw him conduct y blind beggar
across the street. In memory of n kind
and Christian action"
Neither note nor card accompanied
the offering. and the name of the donor
has never been discovered. But l think
that this anonymous gift is not the least
priced of the many articles in the princes
treasure chamber. -Philadelphia Tele-

A novelty in printing has been intro
duced into Germany, by which it is said
that two colors can be done at one i'm
preston. In addition to the usual ap-
pliance for printing in black that part
of the form which is intended to be
printed in another color is set up from
type, rules, ornaments or cuts made OF
a porous material, such as pumice, Span
ish reed, or, best of all, walnut root.
The type or cut thus made is inclosed in
a holder, in which is a thin, oily ink,
which it absorbs by capillary attraction,
thus always presenting an linked surface
ready for the impression. The upper
rim of the holder has q rim or metal
border slightly raised above the wood
type, no that the ink roller passes over
the latter without any union of inks.

fects an iiag- lion in two colors.-New

Topeka, Kas., Aug. THE following
is the crop report of the Kansas state
board OF agriculture: Reports received
from about 500 correspondents, repre-
senting every county in the state. midi
cate that growing crops in every portion
have been seriously injured. Severe
drought, intense heat and occasional hot
winds prevailing have been the cause of
the falling off of the corn prospects. Its
condition, which one month ago was re-
ported at go per cent. is now SO per cent
of an average crop. 1t is safe to say that
the crop this year will not exceed 75,OOO,'
