PRECIOUS STONES.
Statistics About the Production of Them
In tho United States.

Statistics About the Production of Them
In tho United States.
Superintendent Porter, of the census
bureau, has issued bulletin upon the
subject of precious stones, diamond
cutting and lapidary work in the United
States. The bulletin shows that up
to the present time there has been
very little mining for the pre-
cious or semi-precious stones in
the United States, and then
only at irregular periods. This
is particularly true of diamonds, of
which only a very limited number have
been found. They have been discover
ed in certain districts in California,
North Carolina, Georgia, and recently
in Wisconsin, but the discoveries have
been rare and purely accidental. Sap
phires of inferior color have been
found near Helena, Mont. The en-
erald and other beryl gems have
been mined to some extent in Alex
ander county, N. c., on Mount An
tero, Col, and at Stoneham, Me. Tur-
quoise and garnets have been found in
Arizona and New Mexico. The entire
production of the precious, semi-prec-
ious stones and ornamental minerals in
the United States during the year 1888
was $1SS, S07. OF this amount S33, 175
was agatized and jasperized wood, $685.
675 turquoise stones and $14, 900 quartz.
Diamonds to the value of 81, 1,O06, ZIG
were cut during the year in the
nineteen lapidary works in New
Vorlx and Mocco nbucattc Tho i'm
portation of rough and uncut diamonds
in 1880 amounted to $129,2O7, in 1889 to
$3.50, 1877, and the total for the decade
was SO, 1873, $40, while in 1883 there were
imported S443, 996 worth, showing that
there was ninety-four per cent. more
cutting done in 1889 than in 1880, but
markedly more in 1882 and 1888 The
imports of diamonds and other precious
stones, noted during the past four years,
are given as follows: 1886, SO, 254, 43s
1887, $40, 6s6, ,4OS; 1883, $40, ,223, $50; 1889,

A RIOT,
Caused By Attempted Dvictions In
the Coke Regions.
Polish Women Charge on Oncers With
Boiling water--A Crowd Attack
the Deputies and They
Are Compelled to
Retreat.

Sheriff Mccormick and his handful
the Trotter works, near Connellsville,
Pa, Thursday afternoon, and riot en-
sued. He arrived there about noon, and
began the work of eviction. He put out
several families without encountering
any resistance until he came to the
house of a giant Polander, named
Fred Strousack, which he attempted
to enter to carry out the furniture.
Strousack rushed forward, but was
thrust aside. Then the women of the
household rushed on the officer. One
seized tea-kettle, and, pouring some
boiling water in a pan, threw it in the
officers face. The others struck at him
with whatever they could reach. Phe
excitement meanwhile had spread to
the crowd outside, which by this time
had numbered fully two hundred.
They attacked the deputies at the door
with stones, and several Of the deputies
were struck. Mccormick, seeing that
his force was powerless in the
face of such mob, came out
and drew his men off, amid a shower of
stones. Strousack was afterward lodged
in jail Mccormick swore in q
number of deputies Thursday and
will start out again Friday on the
disagreeable business of eviction. Dep
uty Crawford with posse will go to
Leisiering No. 2 in the morning to evict
dozen or so families there. The riot
GUS element is in the ascendency there
now, and serious trouble is apprehend-
ed when Sheriff Mccormick begins the
evictions Friday. The sentiment
there is in favor of calling on the militia
now, before there is chance to have
the scenes at Moorewood re-enacted

AN ACCIDENT.

The Firing of n Cannon Too Close to the
Presidential Car Skaters the Windows.
An accident occurred at the time of
the presidents arrival in Atlanta, Ga,
Wednesday, that might have resulted
in injury to the president and Mrs. Har-
rison had it happened few minutes
sooner. 1t resulted from the military
salute fred in honor of the president
The cannon used for this service was
mounted on a fat car at siding near
the track over which the presidential car
ran. In order to give emphasis to their
work the soldiers having charge of the
cannon discharged it just as the presi-
dents train was passing on an adjoining
track. The conclusion was tremendous
and shattered three thick plate-glass
window-panes in the dining car Caro-
nado, Immediately next the seats as
signed to the special use of the presi-
dent and Mrs. Harrison. Luckily, these
seats were unoccupied at the time. A
colored waiter who was standing in the
aisle of the car was thrown down by
the explosion. He was, however, more
frightened than hurt The presidential
party was at the other end of the train
at the time and knew nothing of the
accident until informed of it after

AN UNSPOKEN SPEECH.

1t Was Printed in Ireland, and the Sup
posed Orator Was Sent to Jail.
One of the most extraordinary stories
of the extraordinary state of things in
Ireland was told me as follows:
A member of the land league was
sent from Dublin to certain district to
get up a meeting and make a speech.
You can always get up meeting in
any part of Ireland on very few min
utes' notice. On reaching the town
where the mceting'wa to be held, the
speechmalIer met friend, and both be-
ing genial fellows, they retired to n
public house, and had something. Then
they got talking over old-time reminis-
cences, and the first thing the land
Lacquer knew the man came in to light
the lamp.
"Great heavensr' he said, 81 was sent
down from Dublin to get up meeting
here, and now it is too late"
''oh, well, it doesn't matter" said the
other
'Yes, but it does matter" said the
organizer, 81 have to report to my SUI
perior that the meeting was held"
"Oh, that's all right" said his friend.
Here, you write out a speech and will
send it TO the local papers, who will
print it just as if the meeting was held,
then the folks in Dublin won't know
the difference"
This was quickly done, and the speech
that never was delivered soon appeared
in the Tapers.
The tun of the thing comes in over
the fact that the Lacquer was arrested
for delivering his speech, and was sen,
fenced 10 four months in Jail for s
speech that / never delivered Mt a
meeting that was never held. He
cheerfully went to Jail rather than
admit that the meeting never took
place

Blaino's Letter In Full Reaches Premier
Rudinf.
The reply Of the United States secre-
tary Of state, Mr.. Blaine, TO the Mar
quis di Rudini's last note on the sub
ject Of the New Orleans affair Is the
only important subject of conversation
and newspaper comment throughout
Italy. The full text of the reply
reached Rome Friday. When 1t became
known that the reply reached there the
Marquis di Rudini, the United
States minister, Hon. A. G.
Porter, and other persons hold
ing positions which would enable
them to express valuable opinions upon
the New Orleans dispute were besieged
with interviewers. The substance OF
the opinions which the gentlemen re-
ferred to were able TO express is that
the controversy is in course of adjust
ment, and that, so far as the future
negotiations are concerned, the diplo
mates will seek chiefly to establish ant
maintain the correct construction o!
the various points of international Law
which bears directly or indirectly upor
the subject.

BRITISH PRESS COMMENT.

BIaine's Reply to Rudini an Able Paper,
and He Will Have an Easy and Logical
Victory.
The London Times commenting on
the American-Italian correspondence,
says the American union was nearly
rent asunder generation ago on the
question of ate'srights; now, when the
old sectional feuds are almost forgotten,
it would be the extremity of folly to re-
vive the conflict. Italy appears to have
acted without careful consideration. The
Marquis Imperiali's admissions give Mr..
Blaine an easy and logical victory, and
he has naturally made the most OF
Italy's mistake of recalling Baron Fava
on the assumption that justice would
not be done the lynchers. The Stand
ard says: "Mr. Blaine's reply is very
able paper. We shall look forward
with curiosity to the Marquis di Rudi-
mis- reply. 1t is difficult to see
how supporters of the Malta society can
slip through the meshes of the net thus
carefully spread for them"

New Foundland Confesses That Her Young

New Foundland Confesses That Her Young
Affections Are That Way.
In an interview in London Thursday
morning the delegates from Newfound-
land, who are there to present the
views of the colonial government
on the fishery question to
the imperial authorizes, said there
was no doubt that the present cir
cumstances had created very friendly
feeling toward the United States on the
part of the government and people of
Newfoundland. The action of the
United States in connection with the
embarrassing position in which the col
onists found themselves placed had
proved most attractive to the latter.
The people of Newfoundland, of course,
deeply regret the unhappy estrange-
ment which has come between the col
ony and the mother country. Neverthe-
less the existing impatience of their
people at the cavalier-lilxe treatment
heretofore accorded them by the impe-
rial government, if such treatment
was followed by the failure of the dele
cation in its present mission to Eng
land would be intensified and deepened
into absolute alienation, the effect
whereof would be difficult to foresee.
In any event there never again could be
the same friendly feeling on the part of
Newfoundland towards England as
hitherto had existed The delegation
consists of five members, two from the
Newfoundland legislative council, and
three from the house of assembly.

"PRIzE GOODS"

Kind of Merchandise.

Interesting to Grocers and Dealers in Thii
Kind of Merchandise.
A trial of great interest to grocers
and dealers in prize goods was recently
decided in Baltimore. A grocer was
arrested for selling coffee with prizes,
the prizes being drawn by means of q
ticket inclosed in each package.
He was convicted and fined $50.
The case was carried up to the
court of appeals, and stubbornly de-
Tended by the manufacturer of the cof
fee, but the ruling of the lower court
was affirmed and the fine of $50 as
sessed, the court holding that ever
though there was a prize with eacf
package, it was still game of chance
in the eyes of the law, as the prizes
were of different values and distributed
by chance. The penalty also included
imprisonment, which was, however
suspended, as it was in measure test
case.
