what Can Be Seen by Attending Relig1su,

stupid, lstless- looking man, relegated to
this depressing field by his own lazy in

copal service read by such man, it is i'm
possible to conceive how utterly mechanical
and dreary it can be made But it matters
little to most of the mumbing flock, and the
tedium is relieved at short intervals by
savage masculine growl or the shrill hys-

To Coz. Bro,cn, frankfort, KY:
Reliable information received here indl-
Gates that miners from Kentucky are pre-
pairing to attack and release convlcts In tho
branch prisons at Briceville and Coal Greek,

The prospective trouble is due, no
doubt, to the lack Of action on the part
of the Tennessee legislature.

Judge Freeman Dead.

TRENTON, Sept. 16.-The sad intelli-
gence of the death of Judge Thomas J.
Freeman early this morning, at his sons
(Thos. j. Freeman, Jr.) home in Dallas,
Tex, was received here today. Judge

mel in the Southern Confederacy. In
1870 he was elected to place on the
supreme bench of Tennessee, and was
reelected in 1878, and held the position
until few years ago. He was Christian
gentleman and man of much force of
character. His son, Judge o. b. Free
man, and his brother, j. Hart Freeman,
reside at this place. The Trenton bar
met this afternoon and notified the
Supreme Court at Knoxville of the
death, and made arrangements for
receiving the remains.

THE SEAL INDUSTRY.

The Modus yivendi Alleged to Have Been
Violated by the North American Conn
merciaI Co.. and the United States Called
to Account for 1.-THE Entire Arrange
ment May be Declared imperative az
the Result.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the British minister, has
officially called attention of the United
States to violation of the terms of
the modus vivendi in effect between the
two countries as to the catch of seal in
Behring sea. BY the agreement between
the two countries, the North Ameri-
can Commercial Co., which leases the
seal islands from the United States, was
restricted in the catch of seals this year
to 1880 skins. 1t is alleged that the
Commercial company has exceeded this
catch, thus violating the modus vivendi.
and the British government has called
the United States to account for it.
Special Agent Williams of the treas
ury department has made special
report on this branch of the
seal question to the treasury de-
partment, and his report was for
warded to the state department with
a request that it's contents be laid be-
fore the British minister for transmits
sion to the foreign Office in London.
The contents of Agent Williams report
can not be accurately ascertained, but
it is understood that he makes the adj
mission that the North American Com
mercial Co. has exceeded the limit of
CATCH, 500 slxins-fxed by the modus
vivendi The matter is regarded here
as quite important, and may lead to the
modus vivendi being declared inopera-
tive after this date.

The rostofsoe at summertoa Blown Up

The PostofIfce at Summerton Blown Up.
NASHVILLE, Sept. 15.-At 10 o'clock
last night the postoffice at Summerton.
Tenn. in Maury County, was blown up
with dynamite and completely wrecked.
In the rear of the postoffice are rooms
occupied by j. P. Kidd's wife and chill
dren, and these narrowly escaped death
in the wrecked building, as did Allen
Kidd, who slept above the store in
which the Office was situated. Win
dows all over the village were shat
tered by the explosion. This is the
fourth time kidd's store has been dy-
namfted in four years. Last night a
man was seen running away after the
explosion and pursuers followed him by
moonlight. He stopped to get drink
of water about mile and half dis
tant and was easily tracked. He was
finally captured early this morning sew
eral miles away, and was found to be a
man named Rutherford, who had been
arrested for one of the previous Of
fenses, but was discharged for want Of
evidence. Public Indignation Is high,
and for time mob violence seemed cer-
tain, but better counsel finally pre-
vailed. The escape of the seven occu-
pants of the building from instant
death is remarkable. Rutherford de-
nies his guilt. His motive for the deed
is entirely unknown.

THE CANADIAN cAuLDRoN.


1t is at Boiling Point In the Province OF
Quebec Owing to the Quarrel Between
Premier Mercfer and Lieut.-GOv. Anglers
The Ministry May be Disrupted.
MONTREAL, Can, Sept. 19.-Tho
province of Quebec is in the midst of
the most important political crisis that
has taken place in many years. So
acute is the political situation that a
report was received here last night
from Quebec that the governments
would resign, in which case a political
agitation of the utmost Importance will
be precipitated. The crisis is the out
come of conflict of authority between
Lieut.. Gov. Anglers and Mr.. Mercier.
Mr.. Mercier is charged with being inn
plicated in the Bale des Chaleurs scan
dial, which was recently unearthed at
Ottawa. Lieut. Gov. Anglers transmit
ted the correspondence that passed be-
tween him and Mr.. Mercier to the gov
ernor-general. and, contrary to all pre-
cedent, this has been laid before the
Dominion parliament and made public
The publication of the correspondence
uas created great sensation. The
greatest excitement prevails here over
the situation, and everyone is waiting
anxiously to see what the government
will do. Mr.. Mercier, it is supposed,
will refuse to comply with the demands
of Lieut. Gov. Anglers for explana-
tions, and will force the latter to
dismiss the ministry, in which case
a direct conflict will arise between the
crown and the representatives of the
house. The conflict may have far
reaching consequence, as the French
leaders feel very much ruffied over the
way in which they are being treated by
the English party, and it would take
very little to raise serious conflict.
