DR.. Wood, the millionaire President of
the National B..uk of Commerce, Of Kan-

Wood read the papers over carefully
and then informed ingalls, that he not
only refused to accept such service, but
that Ingalls, should not leave them in the
Office or anywhere in the building. He
also became abusive, and said that In
gals must take the Objectionable papers
away with him. The Atchison man was
not to be blufed that way SO he deposit
ed the papers on Woods desk and started
to leave the room.
Wood seized the papers and crowded
them into his visitors pocket, and at the
same time attempted to push him out of

DIR. SCOTT QUITS THE WHITE HOUSE.
Life There Made Very Unpleasant for the
Father-in-law of the President.

WAsHLScToN, August i9.-ihe Rev. Dr.
Scott, fathcr-inlaw Of President Harri-
son, has left the city 1t has been givcr
out in the society columns Of the Wash
inSton newspapers that he has gone for n
visit TO his son, Judge John Scott, who is
lawyer in Portland, Oregon. That fact,
however, does not convey the whole truth.
Dr. Scott has gone to Portland, but not
on mere visit He has gone there 10
stay. The old gentleman. who is over
ninety years of age, has had by no means
pleasant time of it in the White House.
When the Harrisons entered the Execu-
tive Mansion it was announced that the
President said that Dr. Scott must resign
the place at 500 per month which he
held in the Pension office and come to
the White House and live with his daugh-
ter. This was commented on as highly
commendabe on the part Of the Prcsi-
dent. DR.. Scott did go to the White
House, but he did not find life there as
pleasant as he had expected. When
there was company it was the custom Of
the President to send the old gentleman
to a boarding house and let him remain
there until the guests had departed. AS
the President has company quite fire.
uuently, DR.. Scott was, SO to speak, kept
on the jump. This was by no means
pleasant to man of his years.
The President and Mrs. Harrison have
other relatives living in this city. One
of them is a daughtcrinlaw and the
other a granddaughter of DR.. Scott.
The Doctor is very fond of them, and
they were on the very best of terms with
the President and his wife. At about
the time the Harrisons entered The White
House there was falling out for some
trivial reason, and the Harrison's ceased
all communication with them. They did
not even speak to them when chance
brought them face to face on the street.
DR.. Scott was ordered to cease visiting
his daughter-n-law and grand daughter
and to act toward them just as the Har-
risons did. Instead of obcying these
orders he would take advantage of pub
lie reception at the White House and
visit his relatives. He was watched and
moro thu once nphraided for his DISC
bediencc His correspondence was in
spected, and when he wanted to cOmmu-
nicate with his daughterinlaw and his
grand daughter he found it necessary to
indict his epistlc and mail it surrepti-
tiousy. These are the known instances
of how his life was made unpleasant for
him. His son, Judge Scott, heard of
these things and he came to Washington
few weeks ago. Finding that the situa-
ton of affairs had been correctly report
ed to him, he insisted On his father leav-
ing the White House and going to live
with him. These are the reasons that
the Presidents father-in-law and Mrs
Harrjson's father is now in Portland.

JAY GOULD is SICK.
He was Quietly Removed to idaho for
Treatment.

New York, August l9.-Jay Gould is
sick and has gone to Idaho for treatment.
The first noticed of his serious ailmcnt
was at the general managers meeting at
the Windsor Hotel 1t was noticed that
Mr.. Gould, who gave close attention to
the proceedings, leaned rather heavily
upon the table before which he was sit
ting. Later on his eyes slowly closed and
his head dropped upon his breast.
There was alarm on the part Of all
present, as it was seen that he was seri-
ously i'll. With the greatest precaution
he was removed to chamber in the no
tel, and medical aid summoned. 1t was
not until night that the physicians in
charge would consent to have him taken
to his own home.
So many and various are the interests
supposed to be more Or less dependent
upon the health and life of this man that
every effort was made to keep all knowl-
edge Of what occurred from the public.
Soon as the doctors thought him able to
travel he started for Soda Springs, Idaho,
where he is now supposed to be.

THE COUNT DENOUNCED.
THE VIRGINIA ALLIANCE.
a Combination Against Trusts and for
the Sub-Treasury.

RICHMOND, Va, August l9.-The Viz
ginia State Alliance was called to order
to-day at noon. There was a large at
tendance. President Mann Page, in his
annual address, said the Alliance was a
combination against trusts, and that
those who opposed aud ridiculed its
efforts for financial relief offered no rem
edy. He urged the repeal of the national
banking laws and advocated the sub
treasury plan. The Government always
rushed to the aid of Wall street and yet
it denied aid to farmers. Mr. Page urged
a strong fight on railroads, and made a
strong plea for the speedy settlement OF
the State debt.
To the question now asked with seem
ing anxiety by the politicians and the
press as to what party the Farmers Ali
sance belonged to he would answer We
are not political party. We hare q

THEY TOOK POISON.
The Narrow Escape from Death of Three
Children.

LYScHBunG, Va, August ia very
narrow escape from death by poison was
made here to-day by three little children
of Mrs. Slider, Il resident Of Washington
city, but who is visiting here. One of the
children was i'll and the mother procured
bottle labelled "paregoric " and gave
the child dose. Her two other children
wanted to taste the medicine, and she
gave them dose to please them. In a
few minutes the children were all taken
violently i'll. a physician was summoned
and he pronounced them poisoned, and
had great difficulty in saving their lives.
How the poison came in the bottle, which
had been used before, is mystery.

Der. The roll amounting to Sl96 was

presenting his revolver at several persons
who attempted to detain him. No traces
of him has vet been found. He called on
Wagner earlier in the day asking for
twenty dollars to help him to get out of
town. This money was given to him and
he signed Z. e. Failing to the receipt and
said he was from Chattanooga, Tenn,
where his business had burned out, and
money he lost playing faro yesterday was

FOR GEORGE AND wALTHALL.
Enough Votes Already Secured to Elect
Them Both.

JACKSON, Miss, August l9.-George and
Walthall now have ninety-three legisla-
tive votes, which is three more than they
need to secure their election.
Barksdale, the sub-treasury candidate,
only has thirty votes. This leaves fifty
FIVE votes unaccounted for. 1t is hardly
possible now for Barksdale to have more
than fifty-fve votes on joint ballot, while
it looks like George and Walthall will get
over one hundred and twenty.
The sub-treasury plan has unquestion-
ably received its death blow in Mississip-
pi. Barksdale, on any sound platform,
would have made much stronger race.
He had much personal popularity and
has never run for any Office
without making respectable showing.
Counties that have always voted for him
before rspudiated him this time.

BIG RISE IN WHEAT.
Orders from Europe Cause an Upward
Movement of Five Cents.

New York, August, l9.-With the tap
Of the gong this morning at the Produce
Exchange, the brokers rushed into the pit
and begun strong buying movement in
wheat, bouncing the prices from lo778
(closc of September wheat last night to
almost at once lO9la, aud then to HOO
II015, at which it remained steady for 4
few moments. Here was clear advance
of 255.
The news that Germany was making a
move TO have its duty on wheat taken OFT
and that the Cabinet there was convened
to-day to take the matter into considera-
ton, had as much rs anything else to do
with the rushing upward of prices and
bringing about the incidental excitement.
All the foreign cables came stronger and
brought as well liberal number Of buy
ing orders The foreign situation was
essentially the cause of this sudden
change.
The outward movements continue large
and export trading full. In fact the for
eigncrs arc taking up grain in an almost
reckless way, SO far rs considering the
price III it's upward movement. The
Western markets were relatively better,
and had also large general trading.
The shorts here and at the Wheat Ex-
change arc thoroughly frightened, and
are covering extensively, while good
deal of stuff is dropped by the more eau

FIRE AT NORFOLK.
The Largest Blaze That City Has lad
For Many Years.

NORFOLK, Va, August l9.-Durng a
terrible thunder and rain storm this
evening a fire broke out in the Norfolk
Storage Company building, and quickly
spread to the warehouse occupied by the
American Fertilizer Company. The next
building to catch fire was the warehouse
occupied by the Merchants and Farmers
Peanut Company, then Lyman Fold Il
Co.'S. warehouse, and the 4Etna Corn
Works quickly followed.
The Marshall & Grenner barrel factory
on Water street was also burned. The
fire then left Water street and caught in
TYLER l. Co.'S ice, coal and wood ware
house on Division street. The local
freight shed of the Old Dominion Steam
ship Company next caught fire, but it was
confined to the outer wall and no severe
damage was done to the company's build
ing. A warehouse on Division street
occupied by Rawins, Whitehurst Co.,
ice and coal dealers, was also burned.
Hardy & Sons warehouse OIL Division
street, occupied by VIM. Y. Johnson's
steamboat line, stands alone unchanged
in the burned district.
The origin Of the fire, the largest that
Norfolk has had for years, is unknown,
but it is supposed to have caught in the
engine room of the Norfolk Storage Com
pany, or from spontaneous combustion.
The loss Oil peanuts is estimated at about
$4,000, and on buildings at $l73,OOO.
The insurance is heavy, but as nearly all
the owners of the property are out of
town, an accurate estimate cannot at the
present time be made.
