hssuits Of the First Transatlantic Trial
Considered to Augur Complete Success.

Rssults Of the First Transatlantic Trial
Considered to Augur Complete success.
The new steL tank steamship james
Brand, Captain Harding. the first vessel
ever to fross the Atlantic driven by
sfe' m generated by petroleum instead Of
ctal, arrived here yesterday from Dart
n outh after G. passage of sixteen days
" bile the results obtained were not al
together favorable. they were sufficient TO
convince the engineers and officers OF This
vess sci that in the course Of short ti,re
petroleum fuel for steamships will be
much used.
For the first three days the steam was
nsde through the burning Of the petro-
leum and the undertaking worked most
successfully until the new machi lcry te-
came somewhat dersYyed. After this
coal was used as fuel during the balance
OF the voyage. No difficulties were met
with that cannot be overcome. and imme-
dIately on her return to England she will
be taken to the ship-yards again TO under
go some slight alterations.
The new ship Is owned by A. Stuart, OF
London, who Is also the managing owner
of a large number Of the tank steamships
engaged in the bulk oil trade out OF this
port In the event OF the petroleum fuel
proving a success after further trial. he
will introduce the same system on board
all Of his vessels. The Brand is the OBJ
ject Of much interest here at present,
and has already been visited by number
Of marine engineers. She is $3.50 tons
register, 345 feet long 43 IL feet beam,
q feet deep. and is supplied with powerful
triple-expansion engines. Her voyage
throughout was stormy one.
Captain Harding, in speaking OF the
voyage last evening stated that had they
had sufficient oil TO have lasted through
out the voyage, and barring the slight
arrangement to the machinery. the trip
would have been made I'm twelve days
For three successive days the oil was
used with wonderful results. The only
difficulty experienced was with the flames
beneath the boilers, which could not be
properly regulated. For some reason the
flames burned very low. while at other
times they burned too brightly. proper
regulation OF this, he thinks, Is all that
is required 10 render this new and eco
nomical undertaking a success. Captain
Harding is positive all the difficulties
brought out in the experience OF this
voyage will be overcome on the return
OF the ship ia the builders. The Brand
will return to England with coal as fuel

Hit in Battle.

That was good story which the Rev.
c. ]. X. Jones, of Louisville. told in a
Boston pulpit the other day. He said:
IAN alarmist always reminds me OF a
friend OF mine who was a commander
at the battle Of Round Mountain. 1t was
A hot fight-one OF the hottest OF the war.
At particularly intense part Of the ac-
ton my friend stood beside his horse
scanning the field with his glass and di-
recting the troops. He told me il seemed
as II the fire OF the whole Confederacy
was centred on him, the bullets thick
around him.
Suddenly he heard mimic ball singing
in the air, and he felt something strike
his leg. But the occasion was urgent,
and he kept up his glass There was an
other 'pIng-g-C' and he felt another
strike. And so Il continued.
"The captain at last lifted up HIS hand
and prayed: % Lord. 1 can SO home TO
my wife and children without either OF
my legs. but, o, Lord let me get home.
Finally there came the shouts OF VIC
tory The battle was won. With n long
drawn sigh the captain turned. He
shouted 10 his orderly at little distance,
Tn wounded, Jim. Come and help me
on my horse; l must go home. It's my
last battle
Ono, I guess not replied the orderly.
What's the matter? Come. hurry up,
I'm wounded
II you want me to help you, come
here sang the orderly.
But what's the troLble9 Why can't
you come here? Don't you see I'm
wounded and almost dying?'
oh. no, you are not sang out the
orderly.
"'Come here instantly you rascal
shouted the commander.
"'No. / don't. that's the biggest nest
OF yellow Jackets there ever saw in my
life,' was the final laughing reply Of the
orderly.
The storming swarm Of hornets were
the only mimic balls that had struck
him. "-Boston Journal.

dead letter office. sixty-three years old,
was to-day arres ted by postofice IN
spectors for stealing money from dead
letters. When arrested he had just taken
marked two-dollar bill from a decoy

recently was McCracken suspected Of the
theft. He has been in the service since
1881 and at one time was receiving a
salary Of 81, 400 per annum, but has been
reduced to 5000. 1t is said that McCracken

ON SILVER AND TARIFF,
VIEWS OF GOVERNORS AND sENA-
TORS SOUTH AND WEST.
A New York Paper Interviews n Num-
her of officials, Some of Whom
Favor Unconditional Repeal and
others ModiHcntIon-Notes.

NEW YORK. July 21.-The World to-
day prints the replies 1t has received in
response to it's telegraphic request sent
to the governors and u. S. senators Of
every state south of Mason & Dixon's
line and west Of the Mississippi river for
a statement of their views upon three
questions. viz:
!. Whether or not they favor the re-
peal OF the Sherman law.
2. What measures should be substi-
tuted for the Sherman law II they do
not favor its unconditional repeal?
3. Whether or not the extra session
Of congress should enact tariff legisla-
ton?
So far as as they have been heard
from not a single southern or western
governor or u. S. senator favors the
Sherman law out and out. Some Of the
southerners favor its unconditional re-
peal All are willing and many anxious
that it should be repealed conditionally,
but they do not agree as to what ought
To be substituted for II.
Nearly all the western and some of the
southern statesmen favor the absolute
free coinage of silver. Several of them

others condemn 1.-The crime of 70 when
silver was demonetized." Even the
Sherman law is said by some TO have
degraded silver and to have made neces-
sary the rehabilitation Of the white metal
as money.
Senator Power of Montana emphat-
ically states it as his opinion that "un-
conditional repeal cannot be carried
and others say unconditional repe :
would be "a dangerous experiment"

legislation by the special session but

BURGLARS BLOODY WORK.

HILLSBORO, Ill, July 20.-One of the
bloodiest battles in the history of burg
larry in this vicinity took place last night
four miles south of here. Mr.. Jacob

Then began a battle in which all took
a hand. The burglar finding himself get

blunt instrument and a knife upon his
victims, cutting Mr.. Kaberick in several
places on the breast and knocking him

Mrs. Kaberick continued the fight ana
was slashed with a knife i'm a dozen
different places, the most serious being
a cut across and into the abdomen that
may cause death. This ended the fight
ing and left both Kaberick and his wife
in a helpless condition. The burglar had
the nerve TO continue the search for
money, but failed to find any, though
81 900 was hidden in a feather bed In the
house. Toward morning Kaberick re
gained consciousness and crawled to a
neighboring farm house and told of the
fight. The farmer came to town and
gave the alarm and police secured the
country in search OF one Fritz Mast,
whom both the Kabericks say they rec
ognized in the burglar. Mast was cap
tured by Sheriff Michel near the scene
of his crime at a late hour today and is
now in Jail. Blood was found on his
clothing and his hands were scratched.
Both his victims identified him before he

WEIR CITY, Kas., July 20.-The eX-
pected crisis has come in the Kansas
miners strike. Miners who were willing
to work quietly and peaceably have
been attacked by the strikers and blood
has been shed. The feeling which has
been growing more and more bitter for
several days eliminated today in a
fierce battle at Clements pit one mile
south of this city. All the forenoon
there were mutterings OF the approach
Ing storm and the feeling was universal
that serious trouble was at hand.
Just before noon a band of 500 of the
strikers. headed by 100 women. which
had been marching to the various strip
pits. reached Clements pit and sent in
n committee TO persuade the miners
working there to quit. This they re-
fused TO do and when the committee re-
ported the entire body of marchers
moved onto the works to force the men
out. The strip men were ready for them
and when they crossed the trespass
line they were fired upon and a general
battle ensued in which Winchesters.
pistols and clubs were used. over one
hundred shots were fired and IL Is nothing
short of a miracle that nobody was
killed. One man was wounded in the
forehead, another in the leg. a boy in
the foot and one of the women got a
bullet through her arm. 1t Is believed
that none of the wounds are dangerous.
A number on both sides were badly
beaten up with clubs and dubbed guns.
The wounded were quickly removed by
their friends and their names have not
been learned.
AS result Of the battle the men in
the strip were routed by the strikers,
and were forced to fee for their lives,
pursued by the bowling NIB. which
would have lynched them had they been
caught. The owner OF the strip, Glenn
ents. his son and a man named Big
Dick Reed are said to be the ones

excitement was intense after the shoot

would become worse. but a prominent

Come to- the Rescue.

AS surely as any known effect follows a
cause lust so surely will disease of the
kidneys succeed their inactivity, if that
inaction be not promptly remedied. Come
TO the rescue with Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. which gives a healthful impulse to
the action of both the kidneys and the
bladder without exciting them. like an
unmedicated stimulant. Rendered active by
this genial diuretic and tonic, they perform
their functions thoroughly and regularly,
removing from the system impurities which
beget rheumatism. dropsy, gravel Bright :
disease, diabetes and catarrh of the blad-
der The contraction of either one Of these
formidable maladies is the penalty eXacted
by nature for indifference to that plain
warning-sluggish action of the kidneys.
When this exists. not a moment should be
lost in the use of the remedy indica ted.
Bear in mind that the Bitters will relieve
with equal promptitude disorders of the
stomach. liver, bowels and nervous sys-
