ANDREWS MERMAID.
The Courageous Mariner Spoken
at Sea.

BALTIMORE, July 31.-Capt. Andrews
and his little boat have been heard
from. July "a the captain was alive
and sanguine that he would reach Eng
land in safety, although he had been
out from Boston thirty days and was
still over 1000 miles from his destina-
ton. Capt. Thomas Morgan, of the
steamship Sobraon, arrived from Liver
pool last night, and reports that July "a
lie sighted a small boat ahead. Sup
posing it was a boats crew from a
shipwreck. he bore down upon it.
To his establishment, there was but
one mar in the boat and he seemed per-
fectly at ease. The man said he was
Capt. Andrews; that the boat was the
Mermaid and that he had started to race
across the ocean from Boston to Lands
End. Eng, with a boat the same size,
called the Sea Serpent. He had been
out thirty days. AS the SobraOn was
north latitude ~. so. west longitude SO. II,
Capt. Andrews and the Mermaid were
about 2, JIG miles from their destination.
By request, Capt. Morgan received the
log book of the lonely mariner up to the
date of meeting, to be forwarded to the
Boston Herald. Capt. Morgan says the
courageous mariner was we'll and in
good spirits: was short of nothing, but
regretted having been out SO long. The
log book contained but little Of interest.

An ALLIANCE FAILURE.
Suit for Debts That Will Set a
Precedent.

CHARLESTON, S. c., July 31.-A Farm
ers' Alliance store in %Spartanburg
ty failed some time ago, and, although
the store was run under the auspices of
the county alliance. when the failure
came the alliance disclalmed all reSp0n-
sibility, holding that it lay with the
managers personally. The cred
itors, Allmet, Nixen & Goldsbrough,
of Baltimore, finding they cauld not
collect the debts, have entered suit in
the United States court for 81. 1925. The
defendants named III the complaint are
S. I. d. Lancaster, H. E. Williams, AL
fred Harris, R. NJ. Smith. Moses Wood,
|. r. Padgett. n. f. Walker, George B.
Dean and William Zimmerman, doing
business under the firm name of The
Farmers Alliance of S~partanburg
county. The complaint alleges that
plaintiffs sold merchandise to the
amount of 81, 1876, but only a 81 bill had
been paid. The plaintiffs ask for a
Judgment of 50, 925. Noanswer has yet
been filed. 1t is expected that the case
will come up soon. 1t is one eff the first
of its kind ever had in the country, and
the decision will probably define the
liabilities of Alliance organizations.

SPOONER FOR HARRISON.
The Federal Elections Bill Is just

CHICAGO, July 31.-Ex-Senator John
c. SDooner, of Wisconsin,, is of the opin-
ion that President Harrison will be re-
nominated. 1.-The fact that there is Il
great deal of talk about Mr.. Blaine,'
said he, ''does not alter my firm belief
that Mr.. Harrison will be the nominee.
| am informed from a source that | be-
lieve to be reliable that the sentiment
of a majoaity of the national committee
is in favor of Mr.. Hlaine, but that cuts
no figure. The nomination is not made
by the national committee. and l be-
lieve that the delegates of the people
will again want to wear the TippecanOe
colOrs." Aside from the tariff issue, he
believes the federal elections bill should
be given a place in the platform second
only to the tariff question. 1t is not a
party matter. he said. 1.-The detection
of a few members of the Republican

FROM SMOKE.
Peterson Finishes His Work and
Then Answers His Critics.

~
"Mr. Peterson, now that your settle
ment with the city treasurer has been
made and you are at liberty to think
over all thai has been said, what have
you to say for yourself ?" was the ques-
ton put to the county treasurer yester-
day.
"Well, l don't care to say very much"
he answered. Most of the abuse has
come from M paper. | know why the
Journal has been throwing mud at me.
A rep rter for that paper has been com
ing in here every day. I've always told
him, as have the rest of the reporters,
that had nothing to say. The city ed
itor of the Journal tod me yesterday
that they had been hammering at me
fol the purpose of making me open up
and talk.
LAS for being behind with the settle
ment, | have done all that l could do.
l have worked. and my men have
worked day and night. We finished the
settlement Just as soon as we could.
When this law calling for monthly set
Elements was passed. in the hbter part
OF April, l had a talk with MI. kOrt-
gard, the city treasurer. about it. l
told him it would be impossible to
make itemiZed statements every month
during the busiest months of the year.
He told me that all he wanted
was the money collected during
those months as near as We could esti-
mate it,. The itemiZed statement could
wait until the rush was over. He told
that to me and my deputy, Mr.. Still
a We paid him the collections
promptly each month. Then he seemed
to get the idea that We were holding
back money from him. Then he re-
pudiated the agreement-denied that
he had agreed to let the itemiZed state
ment 90 until after the rush.
When this talk of monthly settlements
came up | went to the county attorney
about it. He examined the laws. After
examining it he told me that he couldn't
see how that law compelled the iSSu-
anc of itemized statements every
month. Then the city comptroller told
me that they don't want monthly item
lied statements. There was no use for
them: nobody seemed to want them.
and it would have been impossible to
furnish them during the busy months.
what about the statements for June
and July? 1t won't take long to get
them out. They were not to go with
the other statement. anyhow. If they
had been Incorporated with the settle
ment up to the 1st of June and sent
over TO the state auditor, the whole
statement would have been returned.

CAFE ~CfIANrANTE.
One This Evening to Assist in
Clearing Off the Music Festival
Debt.

One This Evening to Assist in
Clearing Off the Music Festival
Debt.
The committee of arrangements for
the Scandinavian festival recently held
in this city have found themselves short
of funds to pay expenses incurred for
that occasion, and are now hustling to
make up the deficit. On that account it
has made arrangements to give a cafe
cafe chantante at Normanna hall
this evening for the purpose
of trying to raise the neees-
sary amount. The committee thinks
and the idea seems also to be prevalent
among the Scandinavian citizens OF
Minneapolis-that the shortage should
be covered by the local societies and not
turned over to the union. A good pro-
gramme has been arranged for presen-
tation, and an enjoyable time is eX-
pected for those who participate. AT
former arrangements of like character
it has been exclusively for gentlemen,
but the committee finds that there IS
nothing that could mar the feelings or
in any way offend the fair sex, hence
for this occasion a special invitation is
issued to the ladies, and it is hoped that
they will respond by being present i'll a
goOdly number.
Humorous selections will be rendered
by MeSSrS. q. Wicklund, Ernest
Schycker, o. Palmer. l.. 0. SHIRLEY, u.
A. Sanberg, and Prof. Oscar Ringwall
will play a clarionet solo. Besides this
the NOrdmanGenes Singing society,
Orpheus and Apollo will render songs
or their finest choice, separately me IN
joint choruses. The rumor is out that
the seating capacity of the Coliseum is
5000, and consequently a great many are
wondering why the receipts OF the con-
certS did not amount to more thanS5, 600.
and TO correct this error it is just to say
that in looking over the diagram of the
building it Will be found that there are
1920 seats, including the balcony, gal
lery and the floor. On account of the
large orchestra, $50 seats were thrown
out from the floor. Then comes the fact
that over 400 complimentary seats were
occupied every night, besides vacant
seats at each performance, amounting
to several hundreds, as, for instance, on
the first night the audience was esti-
mated to be about LOO. This leaves a
better chance for a clear Judgment or
what the actual receipts were.
In spite of what might be said by
those inclined to shower criticism on
any undertaking, it still cannot be de-
MED that the committees Oh the various
arrangements did their best, and. con-
Sidering the immense amount of work
that was to be done, they were to a great
extent successful.
There are as yet a large number of
souvenirs in the hands of the committee,
and these will be placed on sale at the
cafe chantante this evening at a reduced
price. Tables have been arranged on
the floor for refreshments to be served
between the performances, and the
whole will close with a grand ball.

The Flour Trade.

The mills last week ground a total of
1855 bushels-averaging 1852 barrels
daily against 3 1886 barrels the week
before, 17O,6SO barrels for the CORE
spending time in 1890. and 2 1900 bar
rels in 1889. says the Northwestern Mil
Ter. About the same capacity is at work
the current week. The water power is
holding up very well, though if more
mills were running there might not be
enough to go around. There has been
more doing in flour the past week, and
millers appear to be in a little more con-
fdent and happy state of mind.
