The Knoxville Detachmment Abuscad-
ed by Miners.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 2O.-At O'Clock
last night a special train bearing two vol
unteers who were killed in the battle at
Coal Greek yesterday morning, three
men who were wounded, and 125 volun-
teers who went to the front Thursday
night, rolled into the station. Three thou
sand people were gathered about the sta
ton and the excitement was higher than
at any time since the trouble began. From
the men on this train the first authentic
account of the fighting ut Coal Creek
was obtained.
The Fi,st Men the Ground.
The volunteers and 100 soldiers of the
Second regiment reached Offutt's, small
village four miles this side of Coal Creek,
about II O'Clock Thursday night. After
thoroughly discussing the situation and
comforting by wire with Brigadier-General
Carnes it was decided to go at once to the
relief of Fort Anderson. Major ID. A Car
penter, who soldiered in that vicinity dur
ing the war and is thoroughly acquainted
with the topography of the country, took
command of the men.
A Very Unpleasant March.
They left Offutt's aboat 2 o'clock and
went across Walden's ridge by circuit
GUS route, so as to reach Fort Anderson
from the point farthest removed from the
village of Coal Creek The night was
dark as pitch, and the loneliness of the
road was depressing. The sides of Wal
den ridge are very steep and covered with
huge boulders and lodges of sand stone.
Over these distractions the troops
clambered.

Just after they started down the noun
tain on the north side toward Fort Ander-
SON the men were divided iato three
squads under command of Capt. w. l.

MI 81,

LONDON, Aug. cot is supposed that
the Irish question was the principal sub
ject discussed by the new cabinet when it
met yesterday. The understanding is

have the special advice of Chancellor
Bryce, Justin Mccarthy and the Hon.
Edward Blake, when that gentleman re-
earns from Canada. The coming two
months will be almost wholly devoted to
this work, so far as domestic affairs are

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-The secretary o
state yesterday received a cable from the
United States charge d'affaires at Con-
stantinople informing him that the house
of DR.. Bartlett, an American missionary
at Bourdour, province of konia, Asia
Minor, has been burned, and that the lives
of five missionaries are in danger. He be-
lieves that if prompt action is not taken
the missionary cause and lives of the mis-
sionaries will be in serious danger in other
places
Sinuosity of the MosIem.
The building of DR.. Bartlett's residence
was originally stopped by the local au-
thorities. On application being made for
permission TO complete the same 1T was
refused unless Bartlett would furnish a
bond or guarantee to neither hold rclig-
ious worship nor instruct children on the
premises. The Withholding of the permit
was claimed to be under orders from Con-
stantinople. The legation applied TO the
sublime porte for such permission, claim
ing that the trea y rights of Americans
extended not only to the purchase OF land,
but TO the enjoyment of the same.

luctance he admitted that the bonds were
absolutely worthless. He further admit
ted that he was compelled to discharge his
son-n-law, McMeacham, supreme adjust
er, in order to gain the consent of Walker
and Davis FOR the loan of $4,000 for the

mentary evidence to show that 100000

About Iron Hall Affairs.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 2o.-The inves-
tigation of the affairs of the Iron Hall was
resumed before Judge Taylor yesterday,
with Supreme Justice Somerby still on the

presumed by the supreme officers to be the
individual money of Supreme Cashier
Davis, but ali knew that it was Iron Hall
money, and winked at the transaction.
The SIS 900 that was sent to Secretary
Hayes ut Philadelphia to be invested, he
stated, had been invested in bonds of the
Mutual bank.

A Million Inva1ids.


The population of the United
States is about 10000, 900 OF this
number about 1000, 900 are sick all
the time. Dosen't that surprise you?
In England and Wales it has been
found that every workingman aver
ages ten days OF sickness every year,
and that the loss Of wages from this
cause is about $8O,OOO,OOO per an
mum. In this country it averages
more than that. And why is it?
Simply because Americans work too
hard. They pound away at the anvil
of toll until they are nerveless wrecks.
Recreation is what they need-free-
dom, rest and fresh air. II haven't
time to go anywhere" the man re-
plies. Take a short trip, then. Go
somewhere, anywhere-only go. For
instance, take a little trip over the
Saint Paul & Duluth Railroad. 1t is
popularly known as the The Duluth
Short Line" and for general excel
lence OF equipment and service can
not be surpassed 1t is acknowledged
to be the best line to take between st.
Paul and Minneapolis and Duluth,

I have secured the sole agency for
the publication, sale, and distribu-
tion Of the, ,pamplet entitled "METAL-

thor OF this remarkable little produc-
ton has spent many years in the

ness, ndpossesses thorough knowl-
edge of finance generally, and bank
ing in all it's branches. The book is
the very essence, boiled down, of a
! luminous, unique and logical argu-
ment, promised upon fundamental
and immutable truths concerning
money, lCS nature, uses, ATTRIBUTES
and functions. There is not super
