sinuates that the cx-Confcderate lied.

"Miller was introduced to me under re-

him from the fact that when he wrote

asserting and do not require shouting

to suspicion"
Engineer Power, who reached here yes
tcrday on mission to Corca, gave some
curious facts about Mitkiewicz's methods.
He said the Russian employed certain
Chinese in his household who were good
actors. These fellows played the part OF
the Chinese Minister and his attaches
when Mitkiewicz had guests whom he
wished to impress with the idea OF his
confidential relations with the Chinese
authorities. In this way Mitkicwicz in

in his schemes. Power says the Count

he has absolutely no concessions from the
Chinese Government and no standing in

He placed the handcuficd prisoner in

Short was on the platform Of the smoker

MORGAN MARKED.
First Gun III the Alliance Campaign
Against Him.

B,nMlxcHAM, Aug. a5.-At the meeting
of the State Farmers Alliance at Brun-
dige last week President S. NJ. Adams
took occasion. to attack and severely
criticise Senator joint. Morgan for, as
Adams alleged, his having ridicued the
Alliance.
Senator Morgan publishes his reply in
the Daily News, of this city, today. he
saws in substance that Mr.. Adams charge
that he ridiculed the Alliance is incorrect.
Hc has always had great respect for the
Alliance, but the change of the orsani-
zation into political machine, which
politicians are trying to accomplish for
personal ends; has caused him TO feel the
most serious approximations for the safety
of the South. He denounces the sub
treasury scheme as naked humbug and
saws the men who support ii are deceived
rs TO IFS merits. They will soon modify
their opinions and this Illusion sill pass
away as thousands Of such faliacies have
done.

severe blow when he says: ii would be

Hamilton was employed as porter. For
several nights past while returning to her
home from work she noticed that some
one followed her till she reached her home.
After suffering this several nights she
pluckiy determined to discover who it
was. Last night Miss Bent was again
followed After going a short distance,
she turned, and recognized the negro,
who made an indecent proposal TO hcrand
told her that if she ever. revealed what he
had said to her brothers or any ono else
he would kill her. However, hearing
some one approaching, lie was frightened
away and nothing more occurred until the
shooting.
This morning when Miss Bent went TO
her work she noticed Hamilton sweeping
the pavement in front Of Whelan's store.
She quietly passed on into the millinery
store, bat returned to the front again III
few minutes, and leveling pistol at the
negro deliberately fired. The aim was
true and the bali did its work. Hamilton
is considered TO be in a critical condition.

Iowa's Crops Unprecedented.

Never before has Iowa harvested such
a crop of cereals as it will this year
The oat crop especially is immense. 1t
will easily average sixty to seventy
bushels, and in many pie es will go 100
bushels to the acre. In addition to this
oats will weigh from thirty-four to
forty pounds to the bushel. This great
crop is causing railroad officials no little
trouble. All the railroads are building
large mum Der of grain cars in order to
be prepared for the business when the
movement of grain sets in.
