THE eRIcEvlLLE TROUBLES.

Further Particular OF the Wholesale Re.
lease OF Convicts BY the Tennessee
Mountalneerl
KNOXVILLE. Tenn, Nov. 1.-The dis
satisfaction of the miners at Briceville
and Coal Creek with the law which
authorizes the employment of convicts
in the mines, which caused trouble .
few months ago, has now taken on .
very sensational and serious phase.
This city was thrown into great excite
me1t late last night by the report that
the convicts in the branch prison at
Briceville had been released by the
miners and their stockade burned A
man from Briceville brought word that
8, 900 miners surrounded the stockade
and that the guards thereupon gave up
the convicts, who were given citizens
clothes. The stockade was burned One
hundred and forty-one convicts were re-
leased. No one was killed The miners
were surrounding the stockade at
Caimba when this man left They
were armed with Winchesters The
guards who have been in charge of the
stockade at Briceville arrived this
morning and confirmed the report
At Coal Creek the stockade belong
ing to the Knoxville Iron Co. was not
burned, but the convicts employed were
released and all are now at large. The
arms of the guards were all captured,
with triding exceptions. No PERSISTENCE
was made and consequently there was
no bloodshed
The miners who effected the release
seemed to have acted with the greatest
secrecy, showing perfect organiza-
ton There were no outward indica-
tions of immediate action and people
were beginning to believe that the
matter would be left to the courts for
settlement The acts of the miners
seem to be a surprise to the people in
the vicinity of Briceville. Those who,
in violation of the law, released the
convicts repaired to the stockade soon
after dark, gave their orders and the
work was done. All was quiet at the
mines this morning and no immediate
trouble was anticipated
CONv1CTs WILLING TO SURRENDER
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 1.-Gov. Bu-
chanan received dispatches from state
authorities stationed at Briceville and
Knoxville this morning confirming the
reports of the releasing of convicts by
miners. The latest accounts state that
163 convicts were made free at Brice-
vile and 143 at Coal Creek. A colored
convict telegraphed the governor at II
o'clock to-day from Clinton, stating
that he and 163 others were in that
town and vicinity and asked what he
must do

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn. Nov. "A ru-
NOR is current here to the effect that q
secret understanding exists between
the miners throughout the state to lib.
crate all eonviets working in the mines.
In consequence it is thought the next
move will be on Oliver Springs Tracy
City and Inman, where convicts are
employed. No further outbreaks have
occurred at Briceville and the miners
resumed work Saturday morning. The
eonvicts are scattered. the majority
fleeing to the mountains Of Kentucky.
The total number Of convicts released
exceeds 800.

CHINESE PATENT MEDICINES

Wong Chin Foo Throws Light Cpon n
Interesting Subject.
The Americans arc not tho only peo.
pie who are famous in tho world for
patent medicines Tho Chinese have
patent medicines, too, and they have
millionaire patent medicine makers.
The most famous Of these fortunate
manufacturers have been enjoying tho
celebrated sentimentalities Of the
famous Col Sellers, in fact Just think
of it, q medicine that is made use Of in
every family in China At half an ounce
of silver box, which is equal to seven
ty-dve cents in American money. Sew
enty-fve cents box, or q clear profit
of seventy cents on each box, bought
annually by over seventy five million
families, or fifty-two million dollars a
year profits and this has been going on
from the great Soong dynasty to the
present day. or nine hundred and twen-
ty-nine years prosperity. Where il
Col Sellers now?
Here are some of the leading patent
medicines of the empire of China that
are considered the standard cures for
the various ailments of the human body:
The famous Ming Shin Yo Wan"
made by Chin Lee Chop. is q small
black pill, like shot, and is said to be
Q sort of tonic as well as blood purifier,
which all classes have much faith in.
An entire box weighs about an ounce.
The next in importance is the Pop
Fa Yo." by Yip Man Troong, or cam
phorated oil with some other mixture,
said to be sure cure for headache; it
high by half an inch square, is sold at
ten cents bottle, and is about four
hundred years old Its proprietors are
also millionaires- These are composed
of the descendants of the founder, more
than hundred families of them all
told. and every one Of them is wealthy,
while few of them are millionaireS
Like the Ming Shin Yo," it is in Sc
almost constantly in every family, many
families using bottle each week.
The Way Sung Due" or Come to
Life Wine." is made by Jhoo Chung
Yuen, of Canton, and is only about fifty
years old. This is medicated wine in
quart bottles and is sold at seventy-five
cents bottle in New York and much
cheaper in China The proprietor is
also a millionaire. But like all other
paying business in modern times, all
over the world competitors sprung up
who claimed to manufacture an equally
good brand This has been the means
of reducing his profits recently, so that
he was compelled to issue proclama-
tion warning his patients against pur-
chasing counterfeits- There is no law
against Infringement on patents in
China, and the only safeguard an in
ventor has is keeping the secret Of his
invention to himself
The devices in advertising these wares
are even more prolific and varied than
are the Americans. The Chinese ad-
vertiser seems to have no limit in his
language of praise of the medicine he
wishes to introduce to the public. Ere
quently a medicine is made to do for
fever as well as for dyspepsia, cold or
debility.
A great quantity of Chinese patent
medicine is sold in New York. The
Chinese believe in large doses. When
they take medicine at all they take
whole meal of it at one time and then
sit down and wait for results-N. Y.

Barnum to the clergymen and min- isters of any town the Greatest Show on Earth" was coming to, calling the atten- hon of these reverend gentlemen to the moral nature of the exhibition, and dis counting any objections that might be made to a frivolous circus. Shortly af ter MT. Barnum's death one of these cir culars was received by the minister of the First Congregational church. of Hartford, addressed to the Rev. Dennis Hawes. Now it happens that the Rev. MT. Hawes has been dead for ten years
