Captured the Militia.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July 20.-The
crisis came at Briceville to-day about
II o'clock, " hen the miners and
crowd of sympathizers from the sur
rounding country gathered around the
camp of the state militia and captured
the troops and convicts, marched them
off to the depot and put them ON a
train and shipped them to Knoxville.
The camp was on little knoll i'm a
hollow and surrounded ON all sides by
mountains. The miners and their
friends 10 the number of twelve or fif-
teen hundred were divided into four
equal squads and approached on the
four sides of the square which the camp
was formed in. The miners sent up
flag of truce and sent in a committee to
the officer i'm command. The commit
tee notified the officers that they had
come to take the convicts peaceabiy if
possibility force if necessary The
officers parleyed "A while and then
agreed to surrender.
The troops were allowed to keep
their arms and ammunition and they,
with the convictS, were marched to the
train. They were loaded in box carr,
or whatever could be had, and the en-
tire lot sent 70 this city. They arrived
here about 4:3O o'clock. The troop, to
the lumber of lO7 all told went to the
armory of the Knoxville Rifles, where
they now remain awaiting the orders
of the governor. The Miners made
. them promise not to return to Coal
Creek. The convicts were taken to the
Jail. locked up and fed. The trouble
grows out of the employment of con-
victs on the contract system.

THERE is a disposition in some
quarters to make scape-goat of Min

the Balmaceda party in Chilli, just as
though that official had anything to
do with bringing about the result.

to wait until some more serious charge
than a failure to guess the ending of
the Gillian civil war shall be brought
against Minister Egan before his re-
call Is demanded. This is specially
commended to that class of repbuli-
an editors which occasion ally gets
ratified" over some silly and absurd
democratic charge against republi.
can official. If Mr.. Egan, or any
other official, no matter what his
politics may be, shall at any time be
found guilty of neglect or inefficiency
he should be instantly dismissed, but
fair minded jurors do not convict
without proof of neglect.

MATTERS are in statu quo with the
wheat market. There has not been
the rush for American wheat that
was expected, as Russia holds off as
buyer despite her starving condi-
ton. The northwest Alliance men
favor holding on to wheat for the
next thirty days to see what changes
are in store, and this policy only
adds to the nervousness Of the specu-
lators who do not know what sup
plies may be thrown upon the market
or Withheld from it. There does not
appear, however, to be much diminu-
tIon in exports and shipping engage
ments keep up to a high figure
Europe needs American grain, and
this fact favors speculative move
ments, with chances rather favor

Maids Who woulu Never Wed. {

Over thirty years ago fifty ladies
of Milford, Conn, formed a society
as old maids. Every one of them
vowed that they would never marry.
Each member paid S. fee on admis
ion. The interest of the principal
thus raised was to be expended in
annual dinners, while the principal
itself was to go to the member who
remained unmarried the longest.
The young men of Milford have, du-
ring the last three decades, succeeded
in leading to the altar all but fifteen
of the original fifty, but these, hav-
ing withstood the temptations of 80
many summers, are determined to
remain steadfast; and, as the storms
of sixty winters have whitened the
hair OF most OF the little band, it looks
as though the fifteen would stick,
and that 1t is a question of who will
outlive the others as TO the reward,
which now amounts TO nearly 81 900
