to prevail over this State, no rain having
fallen at many places for from three to

almost zsro, the only rains reported be
ing O. IL inch at Raleigh and 0.49 inch at
Hoose Cove. Hot sunshine during the

damage to crops. All vegetation is now
suffering from lack of rain. Cotton is
holding up best, but is beginning to shed
rapidly, some is willing and the lower
leaves turning yellow. Corn is matured in
some places, in others while it has good
growth much of it is barren Late corn

Much Need R. R. to be Constructed.
BY Telegraph to the State Chronicle.


PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 22.-The Penn
sylvania railroad company will in few
days begin the construction of single
line of railroad from Washington, D. G.
to Rosslyn, Va. The road will be six
miles long and will pass directly by the
National cemetery at Arlington. For
many years the officials of the Pennsyl-
vania company have been requested to
construct road from Washington to
the National cemetery and number of
surveys have been made. As the mate
rial is now all on the ground the work
will be pushed rapidly to completion
and it is thought before the winter
is over the road will be open
for travel. Besides passing this histori-
cal spot it will run to Rosslyn which is a
suburb of Washington in which there
are number of handsome dwellings and
the only means of access to them is by
carriages. The Pennsylvania railroad
company will in the near future con
struct line from Washington to Mt
Vernon, the resting place of George
Washington.

Work on the New Canadian Canal
Will be Pressed Night and Day.
By Telegraph to the State Chronicle.
OTTAWA, August 22.-President Har-
rison's proclamation against Canada is
the sole topic of conversation here. The
move was unexpected and will likely ne
cessitate the early meeting of the cabi-
net. Will Canada back down? That is
the question every body is asking. AL
though no official opinion can be learned
in the absence of various officials there
was a general imp assion that the gov
ernment having taken action by declin-
ing to abolish the rebate of the canal
tolls until the end of the session
will not humiliate itself by a complete
back-down. Unsuccessful in reciprocity
negotiations at Washington, it will be
unwilling to adopt any course which
would assist the republicans in the pres
idential campaign. Work on the new
Canadian canal at the 500 will be pressed
forward day and night, and but year
will elapse before it can be completed.
The newspapers are seriously urging the
government to pay the canal tolls fol
the Canadian vessels passing through
the 500 canal. Many are also agitating
for a policy of reprisals in Wellanc
canal

to Mormon recruiting in England. A
Baptist minister states that Brigham
Young, Jr., who is an European apostle
of the Norman Church, sends five hun

greater part of these converts, he says,
are English. The Mormans are very

A Sensational Episode In Which q

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, August ga
sensational episode occurred last night at
Coal Creek. The leader of the most
daring, most lawless and most trouble
some body of miners was Bud Lindsay.
To his Vaccinations has been due much
of the turbulence on the creek He has
made himself so obnoxious to the more
conservative miners and to citizens not
in sympathy with the rioting, that he
had been marked figure and only his
keeping within safe distance of the
military since his capture and generally
between four walls, has prevented his
being killed. For several nights he was
confined in an old mine and the mouth
guarded by large squad of soldiers.
Affairs during, the day have been SO
| quiet, the submission of the miners so
general, that watch was somewhat re-
laxed and Lindsay had lost some of his
fear and wandered more widely within
the enclosure. Last night in some way
that no one seems to understand, four
citizens managed to seize and
silence him and in the dusk slip
ped him between the pickets
| I1c was AuII1co vi tuC NdlIcy lOWdTuS
Briceville and the mob which gained
force almost at every step, hurried him
forward, fearing alarm and pursuit by
the soldiers. The journey was not ended
until he reached BricevilIe, the scene OF
the labor troubles last year and the
homes of the more conservative class OF
miners was reached. Once there a rope
was secured and placed around his neck
His true character was soon seen
Though considered desperate man and
although he has at least dozen murders
to his account, he broke down and
begged for his life with all posi-
BILE fervor. His pleadings and la
mentations were effective. He was
promised life upon the solemn
promise that to-day he will turn State'
evidence and reveal the names and plans
of all the leaders, tell how the mob wa
raised, the nature OF the oath, the name
of the miners known to have killed
soldiers or guards, in short to reveal t
the civil authorities all of the lawlessnes
that has reigned and this he has agreed
to testify in court. When all this wa
promised the rope was taken from hi
neck and he was returned to the CAM
for safe keeping. It is now believed
that with his testimony twenty or thirt
leaders can be successfully tried fo
; murder and convicted.

"barbarous and treacherous" methods of
the strikers, especially the miners 1t
says: ''These men are not entitled to
the name strikers in its ordinary sense.
They are not even insurgents, who re-
spect the ordinary laws of war They
are destroyers of life and property. No
wonder that public feeling throughout
America is aroused to great degree
against these desperadoes and bearing

strong probability of strike among 500
nongahela river miners. The opera

demand for a reduction of one half cent

to the miners. They claim that the
railroad operators pay about 3 cents for
the same work for which the river ope-
rators have to pay 81 cents and they are
thus deprived of legitimate trade. They
don't expect to win without strike and
are willing to risk one.
