amounting to 1900 bushels, which WAS
enough to have supplied the suffering
people. Spectators, however, put up the
prices and extorted what little money the
poor people had in short time. For the
past two months the suffering among the
poor has been intense and many deaths
from starvation have occurred. The streets
became thronged with beegars and the
hungry men, women and children made
heartrending appeals for help.
This was kept up until last Sunday
night when the starving hordes organized
into mob, and, driven by desperation.
began a concerted attack upon the feed
stores of the city. There were fully 5000
poor people in the mob, and the police
were utterly powerless to stop its
progress. One maceria. or feed
store, after another was entered. aud as
but little corn was found, the frenzy of the
mob increased. The two regiments Of fed
eral cavalry and one of infantry stationed
at Morlia was called out to quell the riot,
but their appearance only added to the
desperation of the mob The commander
planted the soldiers In front of the mob,
but they fought their way through and
several persons were injured.
General Mercade, the governor of the
state, by this time had made his appear
ance and came near falling a victim TO the
vengeance of the mob, who claimed that
he should have taken steps to relieve their
sutferings. The soldiers opened fire upon
the people aud one man was killed aud
several wounded
Acting upon command Of its leader, the
mob started for the granaries Of Jose Mar
timer, one of the rich spectators, in which
!, 900 bushels of corn were stored. They
broke down the doors and supplied them
selves with all each could carry away.
Their temporary wants supplied, the mob
quietly dispersed. L left Morlia on the
following morning and will remain away

a MEXICAN FAMINE RIOT.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Oct S.-Homer Fin
lay, formerly well-known citizen Of San
Antonio, but who for the past six years
has been engaged in the mercantile bust
ness in the city of Morlia, Mexico, arrived
here yesterday and gave vivid account of
the famine riot which occurred in that
city last Sunday, and of which but very
brief mention WAS made in the City OF
Mexico dispatches. He stated that it was
one OF the most exciting and pitiable
scenes ever witnessed in that part of the
republic, and that another serious out
break OF the same kind is threatened at
any time.
Morlia is the capital of the state of
Michoacan aud the residence of the arch
bishop of the diocese. 1t is one of the

IRISH TENANTS.

LONDON, Oct. 3.-The recently started
movement to raise funds In America and
Australia for the benefit of the evicted
tenants in Ireland pending the release OF
the Paris fund is meeting with opposition
from the Evicted Tenants society, an or.
ganization mainly composed of anti-Mc.
Carthyites. The society has formally re-
solved 10 protest by every means within
tts power against the appeal issued by the
Irish Parliamentary party, and signed by
Mr. Mccarthy, unless that gentleman and
his associates shall guarantee that any
money contributed iu response to the ap-
peal shall not be devoted TO political OBJ
sect just what sort of guarantee would
be sufficient to satisfy the objectors is not
stated, and there are some expressions of
doubt as 20 whether it would be possible
10 meet their views-their protest being
regarded generally mere political
dodge 1t is probable, however, that the
promoters of the appeal VIII make some
reply to the sOciety's insinuations, and
give AT least formal assurance that the
proposed funds will be administered
wholly for the benefit of the evicted.

THE SHORT RIBS CRONER.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3-John Cudahy and
Anstin Wright appeared in court this
morning TO answer the charge of conspir-
acy in cornering the short ribs market.
The complainant was not in the court and
the case went over to Saturday.
Neither Cudahy nor Wright appeared
much worried over the matter. No explain
alton was offered for the absence of the
plaintiff, Thomas Rousch. The court
proceedings had no effect on the price of
the product alleged to be cornered. Octo-
Der ribs, so far from being depressed to-
day, as might have been expected, were Is
cents higher than on Saturday. The ad-
vance, too, was in face of the fact that the
monthly statement of stock on hand, as
officially posted by the secretary of the
board of trade early in the day, showed
80 SOC, 900 pounds of short ribs. against the
a, 200, 600 estimated by the provision men
previous to this report. That means that
the clique has 1000 600 pounds more to
take and pay for than it counted upon. 1t
represents risk of 100000 more at the
October price 90 cents per pound) and is
no small matter. Never theless the corner
held its own; but the short sellers were
confident.
The identity Of Rousch is as much a
mystery to the board of trade men AS to
the general public. The attorneys for the
defense intimated that he was dummy,
whose name figures in the case in place of
certain big shorts.

NEW YORK, Oct 3-Tbe famous case OF
Professor Charles II. Briggs of Union
Theological seminary, which has been
agitating the entire Presbyterian church
for year and a half, was brought up
again this morning az the regular meeting
of the New York presbytery, which con-
vened in the Scotch Presbyterian church
The general assembly. which met in Port

out in the fall.
About one-half of the 215 members of
the New York presbytery were present at

FNGI IsH TRADE DEPRESSION


LONDON, Oct. 3.-Rumors have been in
circulation for several days past that a
large drapery house in the West End of
London is hopelessly involved. Comment
jng upon these rumors today, the st.
James Gazette says that several great
drapery firms are lettering under the
severe general depression, which has
affected all ranks of society. This depres-
sion was badly felt last Christmas time,
when some of the largest drapery shops in
the West End did not for days receive a
single customer. The proposed marriage
of the duke of Clarence and Avondale and
Princess May created n demand for new
STYLES of goods, which were no sooner pro-
tluced than all demand for them was
blasted by the death of the duke, and
dealers were left with the materials on
their hands. The greater houses found it
necessary to extend the credit OF the better
dealers, in order to prevent them from be-
coming bankrupt. Unless trade revives
by Christmas a collapse will be inevitable.
Ii one big house goes il will drag others
with it.
The labor outlook in the large manu-
featuring and ship building centers of
Great Britain is very threatening A
crisis is probable in the cotton trade that
promises to have more widespread results
than any previous troubles that has ever
occurred between the masters and the
operatives, and in the ship building trade
of the Clyde only one-third of the berths
gre occupied, and no new orders are in
hand. 1t is said that Is, 900 hands who are
employed in various capacities about the
yards are idle. To make matters worse
sor the employees, the masters have now
decided to make general reduction in

ELECTRIC RAILWAY MILEAGE.

CHICAGO. Ills. Oct. 3.-The present year
is showing a remarkable record in the
amount of electric railway building, both
in thenumber Of new roads constructed
and in the number of old ones extended.
During the last twelve months, says the
Electrical Industries. the number of roads
has increased from 3S5 to 469. The in
crease in capital stock has been from S155, :
0S7, ,973 to sos, SIC, 600. 1t should not be in
ferred from this tnat these eighty-four
roads represent this amount of money, for
included in this sum there is not only the
capital stock of these new roads, but also
increase in the capital stock of roads al
ready established, which in many in.
stances has been considerable. The same
is true of the mileage. The increase from
3,9l6.59 miles to LAG miles represents not
only the aggregate mileage of the new
roads, but also, the extensions of the OLD
ones.
The aggregate capital stock to date is
sos, SIC. QUO, but this does not include the

A VALUABLE MEDICINE.

The claim that is made
for Reid's German Cough
and Kidney Cure that it is
an excellent remedy for kid
ney complaint is borne out
by the facts. Crosby White
is a leading merchant of Pc.
oria. Two years ago he
was the candidate of his
party for mayor. For a
long time he was an inva-
hid. His physicians told
him that he had kidney
trouble, and that his mala-
dy was incurable. He suf-
fered terribly until at last
he took Reds German
Cough and Kidney Cure.
The result was exceedingly
gratifying. Instead of re-
firing from business as he
had anticipated, he recov-
cred his health and is now
actively at work. His ex-
perience may be yours. If
YOU are sick. out of sorts
and depressed, and cannot
tell why, ,fretful and gloomy,
ten chances to one you have
kidney trouble. Take Reid's
German Cough and Kidney
Cure at once. Your malady
is probably a slight one, but
you want to attend it now
before it becomes incurable.
Half the kidney trouble in
world starts with a slight
cold that is neglected until
it is developed into Bright's
disease and then the patient
IS tod that there is no hope
for him. IF your druggist
will not order this remedy
for you write to us.
Small bottles 20 cents, and
large ones SO cents.
