Meissonier, like many other celebrities,
had passion for gardening. His gar

to perfection the seeds Of every plant,
and Meissonier had often tried in vain to
throw him off his guard.
this time I've got him, the artist re
marked to party Of friends at the din
ner table, and he showed them small
packet containing the dried roe Of her
ring. He sent for the gardener.
@Do you know this seed Z" Meissonier
inquired.
The gardener carefully scrutinized the
grains. why not?" he said at last.
They are the seeds of the polpus husci-
mus, very rare tropical plant.
@How long will they be in coming up 7"
Meissonier asked, with ehuckle of sup
pressed exultation.
@About a fortnight, [" was the reply.
Two weeks later the guests were again
assembled at Meissonier's table, and after
dinner the gardener was announced.
Meissonier, the man said, the seed
has just come up.
AAhl you surprise me, the artist ex-
claimed, as he rose and led the way into
the garden to examine the botanical
phenomenon.
The gardener lifted glass shade and
disclosed to view small bed with three
rows of picked herrings' heads peeping
out Of the earth. Everybody laughed.
Meissonier dismissed the gardener on the
spot, but took him on again the next day.

MINOR NEWS FROM THREE STATES

ESPECIAL TELEGRAMs TO THE DIsPATCH.1
GREENsBURG, July 29-Joel Moore, the
wealthy citizen OF Jeanette who myster-
iously disappeared several days ago, was
discovered this morning lying in a cave in q
lonely ravine some distance south of that
place. The half-famished man was carried
home, and tonight is suffering terribly from
the exposure and starvation he has under
gone.
The whereabouts of the old man were dis
closed by Joseph and Madison Johnston,
two notorious speak-easy proprietors, who
were captured last night through the ex-
traordinary efforts of five officers especially
delegated to that business. The Johnston
brothers had been terrorizing the entire
community for over year, and their shanty
south of Jcannette had been the loafing place
of toughs OF the most dangerous character.
On the evening of the disappearance OF
old man Moore he was seen in the company
OF one of the Johnstons. He was known TO
have large sum OF money on his person,
and when he failed TO return that night his
friends became greatly alarmed and insti-
tuted a search at once. All sorts OF dark
runors began to be circulated. The officers
were finally obliged to make descent on
the Johnston place, and the two brothers
We're captured, with several other inmates.
one OF the men taken became frightened at
the threats of the officers and revealed the
place where old man Moore had been hid
den.
The cave was visited at once and the poor
old man was found in a terrible condition.
His money was gone and he had evidently
been roughly handled and if he had not
been found then his death would have soon
followed. Tonight he is still in a speechless
condition, and his min is in such a state he
can give no account of his experience.
But very few people in the vicinity of
Jeannette knew or the existence of the cave,
as the entrance is cleverly hidden and the
path leading to it very faint. The revela-
tions concerning the cave have wrought the
people of Jeanette to an extraordinary
pitch of excitement. 1t has been said that
during the past six months four or five peo-
pie Of Jeanette have mvsteriously disap-
peared, and nothing has since been heard of
them. \ searching party has been formed,
and accompanied by officers, the cave will
be thoroughly searched tonight or to-
morrow morning. The Johnston brothers
are powcrfullv-built colored men, and tried
20 make a fight when arrested, but were
cowed by the superior numbers and weapons
OF the officers.

SPANISH AMERICAN POLITICS.
The State of Affairs in Mexico, Guatemala
and Salvador

The State of Affairs in Mexico, Guatemala
and Salvador
ST. LOUIS, July 29-Late advices from the
City of Mexico say that the two American
papers published in that city are making
considerable noise over the recent letter of
the so-called Prince Iturbide, which is now
used as the battle cry by the church party,
who seem to have some concealed candl-
date against Diaz and are using this foolish,
ignorant boy and his hacker, VerdugO, to
cover up appearances. The creation of the
new archbishoprics and five new bishoprics
by the Pope is considered significant. The
Indians who form nine-tenths of the popu-
lation, are very loyal to the clergy.
President DiaZ is again well enough TO at
tend to executive business, but he bears evil
dences of recent suffering. His wife wishes
him to go to Europe for a rest, but his ambl-
tion keeps him here for some time yet The
press is more restricted than ever. Govern
ors of different States are coming here to
consult with ex-President Gonzales. All
this gives rise to many rumors. The PreSl-
dent is known TO have had a serious misun-
derstanding with the Minister of Finance.
Letters from Guatemala say two attempts
have been made on the life of President
Barrillas, and that revolution is inevitable.
The dearth of corn and other articles of
prime necessity is causing great suffering,
and the people are refusing to work unless
food is supplied them. Revolutionary
pamphlets emanate from Salvador. At
Guatemala Presidential elections Saliva
doran money plays an important part and
it is said here that Mexico is likely to take
similar part in coming affairs.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
SCRANTON, July 29.-District No.l6, Knights
of labor, which has just completed its ses-
sion Mt Archibald, passed some sensational
resolutions, and the first to sign them was
General Master Workman Powderly, who
was a member of the committee. The fol-
lowing is of greatest interest:
Resolved, That we view with shame the
spectacle of what should be the fndepend-
ent press OF the greatest city in the Com
monwealth on ITS knees in fear before a self
confessed thief, supplicating his silence
We believe that il is due the people of the
whole State to know how far bribery ex-
tended in silencing the press of Philadel-
nhla on the SpeculatiUns of officials of that
city. philadelphia rules the whole State in
casting her vote in the Legisla ture Ii
through bribery and dishonest practices
That city allows her officials to exert q per-
nlclOus influence on the legislation of the
State il is our duty to protest and call for a
most thorough accounting to the end that
the power OF the thievishly inclined may be
reduced to the minimum"
The assembly also denounced Secretary
Foster for his treatment of the knights of
Labor employees, and asked that the Depart-
1nent OF La Dor at Washington be made fnde-
pendent of the Senate, as the other depart
ments are.

For some time a miner named wilkins had
been boarding with another miner named
Joe Wilson. Both became good friends,
working together in the mines. wilkins
had not been in the place long before he be-
came great admirer of Mrs Wilson. The
lady repelled his advances and told her hus-
band. wilkins was given until this morn
ing to leave and was heard pacing his room
all night.
This morning he said he was sick and
would not go to work, but would get ready
TO leave. Wilson was working. He renewed
his advances, but she repused him. Wilkins
then attacked the woman with q baseball
club, battering her and fracturing her skull.
Thinking he had killed her, he walked up-
stairs and, taking out a pocket knife, hacked
his throat horribly, severing the windptpe
but missing the jugular vein. He fell to the
noor in an unconscious condition, and both
lay where they had fallen until neishbors
happened in about noon. Physicians say
there are no hopes of saving wilkins life
Tonight Mrs. Wilson is also unconscious
and it is feared she will die.
