PUSHING THE BRIDGE SCHEME.
Col Andrews Not Worried by Riva
Structure : cross the Hudson.

Col Andrews Not Worried by n Rival
Structure = cross the Hudson.
Colonel James B. Andrews left for New
York last evening. He is interested in the
Lindenthal bridge projected across the
Hudson river. Some time ago two Albany
politicians secured charter from the New
York Legislature, and then revived an old
New Jersey charter. They combined the
two, and now propose to bnild parallel
bridge across the Hudson. Colonel Andrews
said they will not pay any attention to these
people. A few days since, with great
flourish of trumpets, they pretended to start
the first pier on the New jersey side bv
shoveling out few handsful of dirt The
Colonel says the Albany crowd have no
authority from Congress to build bridge,
and it will not be granted
The railroad terminal bridge which the
colonel's company intends to build will
cost $50, 900, 900. The cables will be 81 feet
in thickness, and one span only will be
used. In 1889 40,000,0 900 passengers were
ferried across the river between New York
and Jersey City. Colonel Andrews says
the traffic is there to make the bridge pay.

P. J. Hamilton, Secretary of the Build
ers' Exchange, and about dozen delegates,
returned last evening from the meeting
held in Cleveland. They were not in a
good humor by any means, and felt sore
over their treatment. Mr.. Hamilton
claimed the basis of representation had been
changed so that only four delegates from
Pittsburg would be admitted. He said it
was nothing but scheme to exclude the
Pittsburg members and none of the dele
gates attended the convention. They bolted
the meeting and Mr.. Hamilton says other
cities intend to withdraw from the associa-
tion. A.report will be made to the local
exchange at the next meeting 1t is ex-
pected that the action of the delegates will,
be sustained, and the chances are another
association of builders will be formed. The
delegates from Pittsburg had no desire to
run the convention, as charged, but on this
account they were excluded.

After a Long Contest the Jury Decides in
the Old Gentleman's Favor.
The jury in the case of John Woods. of
Mt. Washington, whom his son William,
of Bethel township, wished to have de-
clared of unsound mind, at last came to an
agreement few minutes before o'clock
last evening, finding that John Woods is
not insane, and that he is able to attend to
his own affairs. 1t appeared as though
Commissioner McClay had about concluded
there would be disagreement The case
appears to give great satisfaction in quar-
tiers where the old gentleman is known, but
late in the afternoon but few of the parties
in interest knew of the result Woods SON.
in-law, DR.. Mccormick, waited to hear the
result, and n. w. Shafer, one of the re-
spondent's counsel, also deferred his journey
to West Bellevue until later train than
usual
The case has been most stubbornly con-
tested, and it is supposed this verdict Will
give it quietus. The costs by this time
will be serious matter for consideration for
some one.

Look out for Celery Seed.

a correspondent of the London Times
relates an experience which shows how
danger may arise from the most unsus-
pected sources. He says that ten minutes
after he ana his wife had finished their
soup at dinner the other evening both
were attacked by faintness and dizziness,
the symptoms increasing in violence un-
til he deemed it expedlent to summon
his physician. Then he discovered that
all his servants were suffering in SINH
lar way. The doctor, as soon as he ar
rived, perceived that poison was at work,
and at once resorted to heroic measures,
which proved effectual. Investigation
revealed the fact that the cook had fla
vored the soup with what had been
bought for celery seeds, but which proved
to be henbane. A visit to the grocer who
had sold the stuff was then made, and in
his possession were found two more bot
ties labeled celery seed," but containing
henbane. The grocer, it appears, was
wholly innocent in the matter. He had
procured the seeds from wholesale firm,
which had imported them from France.
1t appears that henbane is 90 per cent.
cheaper than celery seeds, and that some
French exporter is using it as an adulter-
ant. Persons buying French celery seed
would DO we'll to make sure they are get
ting the genuine article.

RACE WAR IN KENTUCKY.
Conflict Between Negroes and Troor
and CiTIZenS.

Conflict Between Negroes and Troors
and Citizens.
CINCINNATI, July 12.-The Commercial
Gazette'S Paducah, Ky, special says:
Shortly after 8 O'Clock last evening, while
the City Council was in session, the Chief
of Police threw bomb into its midst bv
announcing that report had just reached
him that 200 or 300 negroes, armed with
Winchester rifles, had congregated in the
vicinity of the Jail and were prepared
Tor an attack. The council at once ad-
journed.
The Mayor sent dispatch to the Gov
ernor asking him to order out Company
G of the State Guard located here. Every
able-bodied man was soon on the streets,
and everybody that can obtain arms of
any kind are doing Sc, and the Sheriff
has charge of posse of fifty or seventy
five men armed with shotguns and re-
volverS procured from various hardware
stores.
The underlying cause of the uprising is
the hanging of Charles Hill. negro who
made an assault upon Lydia Starr some
weeks ago. The negroes have been Sc
cretly obtaining arms for some time, and
something OF this kind has been looked
for at almost any time. The immediate
cause of the outbreak was the arrest of
colored man named Thomas Burgess.
At 1880 O'Clock the Marshal and the
Mayor returned to the Jail from q round
of the squads of negroes, who, when the
Mayor and Marshal promised no violence
would be done the prisoner in iail, prom
1sed to diSperse and began to do So The
Marshal addressed the crowd of white
people and told them to go home as the
negroes were dispensing and no violence
need be feared. The people began to do
so and in few minutes the crowd was
s.~1
armed citizens.
At II O'Clock a band of seventy-five
negroes suddenly appeared marching
down Sixth street, and opened fire upon
the men collected at the Jail. At the first
fire Elmer Edwards, young man about
twenty years of age, fell, shot through
the abdomen. he was q member of the
militia company. The fire was returned
by the militia and armed citizens, and
the negroes beat a retreat. The militia
also retreated in disorder back to the
Courthouse, where they kept up firing
until the negroes disappeared down the
street.
The Jail and courtroom then became
filled with militia and armed citizens
The negroes retreated TO the Odd Eel
lows Lodge, which was their chief
headquarters last night. The police ar
rested and placed in Jail over fifty ne
groeS who were found carrying arms,
and they were guarded in order to pre-
vent any attempt to release them.
The morta. wounding of young Ed
wards aroused a storm of indignation
that is kept.from breaking out only with
difficulty, and an attempt to avenge his
death is almost certain to be made The
excitement is high, and at O'Clock this
morning the streets were still filled with
people.
FURTHER TROUBLE FEARED.
TOITTSVTT.IE .JulV l3 -Thara hoe l,ano
no more bloodshed, but further trouble
is expected tonight. Elmer Edwards.
the soldier shot last night, died this
morning. If the negroes congregate at the
Jail again tonight there is likely 10 be a
bloody clash.

Forest Preservation in India.

The forests of India offer a most in
structive object-lesson for Americans.
The waste of valuable wood by the ak
and by fire was almost as reckless in that
country as in our own until the Govern
ment began to take measures to protect
it. The first efforts did not strike at the
root of the trouble, and therefore much
time was wasted until DIR. (now Sir Diet
rich Brandt began working in the right
direction. The central idea of Sir Diet
rich was that the State should MANAGE
the forests for the distinct purpose of Sc
curing a revenue, and under his ad-
ministration marked progress was made
at once. Our own forests should be pre-
served for other reasons than merely to
insure lasting timber supply; but, with
the example of India before us, where
the forests now yield a revenue of two
million of dollars year, there seems no
reason why our public forests, if prop
erly managed by the Government, should
not pay for their protection. 1t will be
great gain for this country when we learn
that forest lands can be wisely cut over
without destroying the forests.-Garden
