REBELLION IN LIBERIA.
An Armed Expedition VIII Probably be
Sent Against Unruiy Native Tribes.

Sent Against Unruiy Native Tribes.
New York, Nov. 2s.-Mail advices
from Monrovia, Liberia, to October 3,
are as follows:
Every body here is intensely excited
because of advices which have
just arrived at our city to
the effect that several of the ma
tive tribes to the north of Grand Cape
Mount have rebelled against Liberian
authority and placed themselves under
the protection of the English at Sierra
Leone. The advisability of sending an
armed expedition against these people
is now being considered by the presi-
dent and his cabinet officers.
There is much difference of opinion.
however, as to the wisdom of an at
tempt to chastise these tribes. mas
much as the best informed are disposed
to believe that they have been encour-
aged to act as they have by the English
at Sierra Leone. 1t is an open secret
that the English colonists of Freetown
have long looked with covetous
eyes toward the very rich country
which runs along the northern border
of the Liberian territory and il is now
thought that the Sierra Leone English
chievous with the hope of bringing
about complications through which
they may be enabled to grasp large
slice, if not all, of the much desired
land.
president Johnson, il is well known,
is no cowa rd. so il is safe to say the Lii
berian government will not suffer tt
self to be insulted nor its authority to
be made little of. There is every rea-
son to believe that troops will be sent
Immediately against these unruly saw
ages.
If these tribes secure the protection
of the English it is more than probable
that grave troubles will arise which
may be so far reaching in their effects
as to bring about more or less unhappy
friction between some of the great
governments"

WHOLESALE POISONING.
Indiana Teacher and Pupils In q
Critical Condition.
Two Scholars Have Died and More VIII
Probably Observation-Disclosures Vs.
ter From . Ncighboring Well
Believed to Be the Cause.

FRANKFORT. Ind. Nov. 25.-Informa-
ton has been brought to County Super
intendent Lydy that one of the public
schools in Forest township, in the east
ern part of this (Clinton) county. had
been closed by the wholesale poison
ing of the pupils and also the teacher.
An investigation proves that the teach
er and fifteen of his pupils are in q
critical condition, while two of them
are dead.
The school is located in the country
and u few weeks ago the township
trustees caused n well to be driven on
the premis es, from which the school
got their supply of water. For
the past three weeks the teach
er. Jos. Goar. has noticed the
attendance growing gradually less, all
caused by sickness One week ago he
himself was taken i'll and compelled to
close the school 1t was found
upon investigation that all the pupils
who had regularly drank of the water
from the well were sick, while few
pupils who lived near the school house
and went home for meals were not af-
fected The symptoms developed are
similar to those of typhoid fever.
Thursday child of Robert Dillen, that
had been afflicted for several DAYS,
grew rapidly worse and died Friday.
Saturday another one of the pupils, a
ten-year-old daughter of John Burgett,
became suddenly worse and died Sun
day.
Investigation Monday evening show
ed that fifteen pupils and the teacher
are decidedly worse and several more
deaths are expected by the doctors
The doctors say it is n clear case of
water poisoning. An incomplete an
alysis of the water was made Tuesday
which confirmed their theory
They say that the water possesses
some peculiar chemical prop
erty which in its action on
the water pipes, generates the poison
Samples of the water have been Sc
cured and will be subjected to n crit
ical analysis in order to unravel the
deadly mystery. Later information is
to the effect that the teacher is grow
ing rapidly worse. What makes the
case more dangerous is the apparent
fact that those who have drank the
water are afflicted with blood poison.

Houston Carbon Works and the Mclean
Spike Mill Destroyed at Fremont, O.
FREMONT, o., Nov. 25.-The Thorn.
SON Houston Carbon works, the largest
carbon manufacturing plant in the
world, was entirely consumed by fire
Tuesday night The fire started about
1880 o'clock, and in an hour all that re-
manned were bare walls. The Mclean
Spike and Rolling mill. situated
close by, which is owned by
Cen Alger, was also DESTROYED.
The fire started in the plating
room of the car bon works, and is sup
posed to have been the result of n
natural gas or naphtha explosion. The
carbon plant was valued at about $780,
600. and the insurance upon it is
thought to be about S12O, 900, the insur-
ance being principally in 35 eastern
and foreign companies The spike
works was valued at $50. 900 and insured
for S25, 600. The fire spread with great
rapidity, owing to the high wind, which
carried the flames and sparks so that
little could be saved by the fire depart
ment. The buildings covered nearly
three acres, and the loss to the city is
heavy. Two hundred and fifty men
are thrown out of work. The spike
works had not been used for some time
past. Manager Richmond, of the car
bon works, was absent from the city.

Frightfult Catastrophe Near Tacoma. on
the Northern Pacific Railroad
TACOMA, Wash. Nov. 27.--A land
slide occurred on the Northern Pacific
near Canton Station, fifty miles from
here, which caused the death of fifteen
men and the possibly fatal injury of
twenty more. The hide occurred at
the base of high bluff. at the foot of
which the railroad runs along the bank
of the Green river. and came without
warning to the doomed men. who were
sent into eternity without any sort of
an opportunity to help themselves. A
force of about sixty men were sent out
from Tacoma to fix up the track. which
had been injured by the recent floods
and washouts.
When the slide came thousands of
tons of earth and stone were sent crash
ing down upon the men. some of whom
were thrown into the river and drown
ed before they could help themselves.
Some of the bodies were undoubtedly
carried down stream and it will be some
time before they can be found.
As soon as the uninjured men could
get their wits about them, they began
the work Of digging for the bodies of
the killed, but it is very slow and la
borious work. A relief train was sent
out from Tacoma in the afternoon and
arrived Mt night with the wounded,
many of whom are in precarious con-
dition, and can hardly live through the
night Most of the dead are Irishmen
and Swedes- One man named Andrew
Larsen was thrown nearly across the
river by the force of the slide. but was
comparatively uninjured, and managed
to swim out
