BUCKINGHAM, May Especial. This com
munity heard with surprise and regret of the
death of A. r. Moseley, a useful citizen Of this
county which occurred at his residence at
Buckingham Courthouse on yesterday. He
attended church morning and night Sunday,
was taken i'll Sunday night and died yester-
day evening. Truly. I'm the midst of life we
are in death"
The weather for the past three days has
been unusually cold. Considerable damage
was done bv the frost Tuesday and Wednesday
nights in some parts of the county, and much
replanting in the gardens and cOrn-felds will
have to be done. The fruit crop Is not seri-
ously damaged. as the foliage was well enough
advanced TO protect it.
The dry spell which succeeded the terrible
wet weather we had in February, March and
April continues and the ground IS SO dry ana
hard that much Roadway cannot be made for
planting corn and tobacco. The hay crop
will be cut short by the dry weather. and the
complaint is general that there IS a great
scarcity of tobacco plants.

And Has just Fallen Heir to Another
Fortune.
Constantine Ashargan, once million
aire, now q ten-dollar-a-weel1 clerk,
called upon Interpreter Arberly, ex-
consul to Jerusalem, at the barge office,
New York, Sunday. Constantine in
herited million dollars upon the death
of his father, a wealthy manufacturer
of Athens and he proceeded at once to
take all the enjoyment he could out of
it. He built large amphitheater in
the suburbs of Athens, and, besides in
Producing all the sensual revelry of
eastern continental cities, he tried
to revive the games known
to his ancestors. His money went
in streams, and one morning,
after weeks debauch, when he was
about twenty-five years old, he came to
his senses, penniless bankrupt Short
ly afterwards his mother died and left
him another million dollars. 1t took
him seven years to squander the first;
it took him eight years to squander the
second. He purchased costly steam
yacht, furnished it gorgeously, employ
ed rotinue of servants, and proceeded
to Constantinople, where he emulated
his career in Athens. He fought a
duel with a young Russian nobleman
and then, tiring of Constantinople,
went to Rome. His money finally ran
out and he came to this country, land
ed at San Francisco and "beat" his
way to New York, where, after rough
ing it for while, he secured a position
as clerk. He went to see Interpreter
Arberly Sunday with regard TO a third
fortune, which an uncle of his in Alex
apdria has left him. Mr.. Arberly will
assist him to return to his native land,
and if the fortune shall materialize,
Constantine says lie intends to settle
down to a serious life, for he has
learned lesson by his experience in
this country which he will not forget.

HOW WE HAVE GROWN.

HOW WE HAVE GROWN.
WASHINGTON, Aug 25.-The census
bureau has issued bulletin on the as
sessed valuation of real and personal
property of the several states and ter
ritories The valuations are shown for
the years 1890 and 1880, with the ex-
ception of Michigan, which is
for 1886, and of Arkansas, Della
ware, Iowa, Mississippi, New
Mexico, Washington and Wyoming,
which are for 1889. The bulletin shows
that the assessed valuation of all prop
erty has increased from $40, 9O2, 99S,543
in 1880 to S24, ,249, $50, sO4 in 1890, an in
crease during the decade of S7,346, ,596,-
261, an amount equivalent to the true
value of all property as returned by the
United States census in 1850 (S7, 1885,
7s0,22s).
Should it be found upon the compile
tion of the inquiry in relation to the
true value of all property in the United
States that the same relation exists in
1890 between assessed valuation and
true valuation as existed in 1880,
the absolute wealth of the United
States, according to the eleventh
census, may DS SSGluldJeu dG

capita, as against S514 per capita in
1860, $3.50 per capita in 1870 and Ss7O
per capita in 1880. The final returns
showing the absolute wealth of
the country will necessarily be
among the last publications of
this Office, as completed data for
the calculation are not available un-
til after the inquiries relating to agri-
culture and manufactures have been
finished. The state of Illinois shows
an apparent decrease of 1900, 142, be-
cause the state board of equalization
declares that in 1880 the assessed value
was so per cent and in 1890 only 25 per
cent. of the true value. Among the
states showing an increase of assessed

THE WAR OVER.
Chilian Insurgents aubdued After
Six Months lighting.
The Government Had No ships and Could
Not Hem Them In-Bamaceda's Men
Desperate and Rash.

"The war is over" said Senior Laz-
cano, the Chilian minister, to reporter
in Washington, Thursday, commenting
on the cable dispatch received from
the Chilian minister of foreign affairs.
Senior Lazcano wore contented ex-
preston upon his determined face,
while his handsome wife, who acts
as his interpreter, beamed with
enthusiasm and joy over the
happy result ''The war began more
than six months ago." Senior Lazcano
explained, land the insurgents were
led by Col. Canto, who had been dis
missed from the Gillian army. He
had succee led in securing the Gillian
navy, and on this account had been
able until now to maintain his army.
The Gillian government had no
navy, and because of this disadvan-
tage had been unable to hem in the
insurgents Had we ,had ships" said
Senior Lazcano, tracing the positions of
the government and insurgent forces on
a rough map he had drawn so as to eX-
plain himself, 'we would have sue
ceeded long ago." He then traced the
positions of the army of the Chilian
government under command of
Gen. Velarquez, the present min
lister of war, and who distinguished
himself in the war between Chill
and Peru ten years ago. At Coquimbo,
on the northern coast of Chill, 10000
government troops were stationed. Al
Santiago IL, 900 troops were in garrison,
while below at Conception 10, 600 men
were under arms. To the left of Con-
cepcion an army of 5000 men were rem
dezvoused. Between Santiago and Quin.
teros, just over the Aconcaga riv-
er, the insurgents under Col.
Canto landed 10000 men. I'm
der protection from their ships
the insurgents moved down the coast
toward Valparaiso. At the Aconcaga
river the insurgents were met by a
force of 5000 men from the government
army which had moved up from the
left OF Conception. This force held the
insurgents at bay for thirty hours. In
the mean time the government forces
at Santiago, Conception and Co.
quimbo moved down, hemmed in the
insurgents, and compelled their uncon
ditional surrender.

The bodies recovered were in a horrible
condition. In some instances they were
alive with moving maggots, and the
stencil was almost unbearable. The
mayor Wednesday afternoon appointed
a committee of prominent citizens to

IT'S WAR TO THE DEATH.
A Gang of Indian Territory Outlaws to
BE EIterminated.


ST. LOUIS, Aug. 25.-A dispatch from
Caldwell, Kan, says: William Grimes,
United States marshal for the Indian
territory, has taken charge of the re-
mains of Deputy Short, who was killed
by Charley Bryant, one of the Dalton
gang. Mr.. Grimes says that from this
time it is a war of determination, that
the black flag has been raised and his
deputies will shoot on sight. Several
arrests of Dalton sympathizers
have already been made. The
trail of the Daltons ha3 been found and
every deputy marshal in the territory
is on it. Marshal Grims is in receipt Of
news hourly, and before forty-eight
hours pass the capture of the Dalton
gang of desperadoes is antici-
pated. That this result will
only be attended by blood
shed is a foregone conclusion. Bryant
was wanted for many crimes, the chief
of which was the robbery of pay train
in Arizona. The Daltons are duplicates
of the James boys, and much bloodshed
will be witnessed before they are cap
tured,

1ioMn-snnKHRs ORGANIZE

For the Purpose of burning the Grass on
the Cherokee Strip to Prevent the Graz
ing of Cattle BY Indians.
All day Tuesday Caldwell, Kan, was
enveloped in cloud of smoke coming
from the Cherokee strip. The action
of the administration in allowing the
Cherokees to hold cattle in the strip
has so incensed the home-seekers that
a meeting was called, and although it
was held with closed doors, IL
now is known that it was for the
purpose of calling for volunteers to burn
every spear of grass in the Chero-
kee Strip. These volunteers took their
departure Monday night and scattered
in all directions, and the work of Tues
day is only the beginning of what will
be done. The Cherokees have called
on the military to try and suppress the
incendiaries, but they are powerless.
There are not men enough on the regu-
lar police force to prevent the home
seekers from accomplishing their ends.
These men know every part OF
the strip, and whole regiment
could not capture one boomer,
or convict him after he was
captured The home seekers are thor
oughly organized and their actions are
secret. They propose that as long as
they are kept out of the Strip no one
shall be benefited by it. A dispatch
has been received at Wichita, Kan,
stating that U. S. Marshal Grimes, of
Oklahoma, has received special instruc-
tions from Washington to send large
posse of deputies into the Cherokee
Strip with orders to arrest all persons
attempting to make settlements or burn

BALMACEDA'S DEFEAT.
Santiago Is Reported in the Hands
of the Insurgents.
A Mob Burns the Houses of Balmaceda and
His Friends.

The agents of the Chilian congress
sionul party in Paris have received an
official dispatch from Santiago saying
that the congressional party is in con-
troll of the capital; that Balmaceda fed
on Friday night and that the country is
tranquil. Buenos Ayres dispatches say
that Balmaceda resigned in favor of
Gen. Baquedano. The London Stand
ards Berlin correspondent says: 1.-THE
surrender of Valparaiso was preceded by
a rapid exchange of kilograms between
the German foreign Office and the Ger
man admiral in Chill. The avoidance of
bloodshed and disorder is attributed to
the comprehensive measures which the
German admiral took in conjunction
with the other foreign admirals." The
press of both Berlin and Paris rejoice
at the fall of Balmaceda. The follow
ing dispatch, dated Valparaiso, August
90, has been received at the navy de-
partment, Washington, from Rear Ad-
miral Brown: "The insurgents have
possession of the city of Valparaiso. 1t
was taken yesterday morning after a
very sanguinary engagement The
government had advantage of u
good position, but bad general

gent ships were not present. Forts
not engaged. Lynch, with three sec
ond-class torpedo boats captured. The
foreign admirals demanded guarantee
in protecting lives and property of
foreign subjects. l have one hundred
men at the consulate. Many refugees
aboard. Provisional president here. "
The capital city was in the hands of q
blood-thirsty mob Saturday night, and,
while it was unable to satisfy its mur-
derous instincts it did destroy vast
amount of property. AS soon as the
news reached Santiago Saturday of the
overwhelming defeat of the government
troops on the heights of Placilla and the
fall of Valparaiso, and the people knew
that Balmaceda's power was gone and
they had nothing to fear from his
wrath, their enmity to his government
broke forth The cry was raised that
the president should be killed, and a
mob started for his house. 1t grew in
numbers and fury as it went through
the streets, and by the time it reached
the executive mansion, was ripe for
any bloody deed. Short shrift would
have been allowed to the president had
he been caught The bloodthirsty fury
of the mob was ball1ed Then
the mob started for revenge and
found vent in the application Of
the torch Soon Balmaceda's house
was mass of flames. Before il
had been destroyed the mob marched

INSURGENTS NOTORIOUS.

Heavy Battle vought, the Loss being
Great on Both Sides-Valpnraiso Occu'
pied by the Rebels.
The insurgents have taken Val
paraiso. The three days fighting at
the hills between Vina Del Mar and
Valparaiso eliminated Friday evening
in fierce battle on the outskirts OF
the city. The government troops were
completely routed. Valparaiso sur
rendered to the victors The remnants
of Balmaceda's army are fleeing to-
ward Santiago. A division of the
insurgents is in hot pursuit, haras-
sing the retreat. The insurgents
have always had friends in
Valparaiso. The manifestations of
sympathy were never stronger than
they are to-day. The adherents of Bal
maceda seem to have melted away.
The government forces at first far out
numbered those of the insurgents Gen.
Canto, the congressional commander,
had 5000 men. He was deficient in
cavalry, but many of his infantry were
armed with the deadly small bore, Man.
lister rifle, and he was strong in artil-
lery. The Balmacedan generals, Alzer-
reed and Barbosa, had 10000 men. The
government had extended a splendid
line of defense between Vina del Mar
and Placilla. The insurgents took up
a strong position on the hills by the
race track. Gen. Canto hurried his
forces on the formidable government
lines Balmaceda's heavy batteries
played havoc with the attackers. The
issue was long uncertain. Balmaceda
was so sure of success that he kept
the cables, of which he had control,
hot with messages of the defeat of the
insurgents. Friday mcrning the tide OF
battle had rolled along the hills and
reached the outskirts of the city. The
insurgents fought like demons. What
ever they gained they kept. The gov
ernment troops were forced back. They
wavered. The insurgents broke through
the lines and gained position in the
rear. Then what had been foretold by
the clear-sighted happened. Great
masses of the government troops de-
serted and turned their fire on their late
comrades. This completed the demoral.
ization of Balmaceda's army and the

ty passengers were killed outright,
nine seriously injured, and about
twenty badly bruised and shaken up.
The scene at the wreck beggars de-
scription. The night was dismal, and,
to add to the horror of the situation,
the water in the creek was up. 1t
was only through the most heroic cf-
forts of those who had hurried to the
scene of the wreck that the injured
We're not drowned. The accident was
caused by the spreading of the rails.
The bridge was not injured, and trains
are running on schedule time. Twenty
dead bodies are now lying in ware
house at Statesville. The injured are
having the best care at private resi-.
dences and hotels.
