INDIANAPOLIS, IND, October 5.-The
first serious outbreak since the strike
of the Big Four boiler makers began oc-
Cured at the MoorfeId shops this eve
ming, when an engine Eand one coach
backed into the round house for the
purpose OF taking the scabs into the
city.
About 800 men and boys had gathered
in the streets, and when the train
started the crowd howled and jeered at
the workmen, and ONE one threw q
stone. In a moment hundreds OF stones
were thrown against the car.
After the train had proceeded a short
distance u man, supposed to be John b.
Stokes, q special officer employed by the
company, stepped TO the door OF the car
and fired into a crowd OF school chill
dren who were standing on the side
walk.
They escaped injury, but J. B. Pitts,
a fireman employed by the company,
who was taking no part IN the demon
stration, was shot and fatally injured.
The firing aroused the indignation OF
the crowd, which Immediately opened
fire and about fifty shots were fired at
the train, cut no one was injured.

and It is believed that when the scabs
go to the shops they will be fired upon.

lyon Trade Conditions.

CLEVELAND, o., October 3. - The
Iron Trade RCdiCW this week says: The
situation in the iron market is summed
w 10 the statement that while there is
very little, il any, more business going
on than at the same time last week,
there are more producers In operation
anxious 10 get what there IS. This Is
particularly the case with all finished
material. The mills that resumed did
so on the strength Of q handful OF
orders In most cases, and the desire TO
increase tonnage so as to decrease
cost leads to unheard OF quotations on
all contracts Of any size that come
M. Specifications are being furnished
more freely on old contracts, and this
mitigates in some slight degree the
keenness Of the struggle. The rarity
of round orders is a feature that indi-
Gates an unsatisfactory and unsteady
scale Of operations for some time 70
come.
The situation is still dominated by
the possibilities of Congressional action.
IL is plain that the old pace will not
come again until there is some asSur-
ance as TO the price basis. When the
new tariff act receives the Presidents
signature it will be possible TO figure.

The friends and relatives Of one

him for several months, it was fear
ed by some that he had gone to join
the silent MAJORITY. But he turns
up in Central America, having left
Dakota some months ago. He
writes to friend, thus:
II am 1850 miles south Of New

citation grows fine here the year
around. The way they plant corn
here is after this manner: They
get upon a big log when all is cut
down and burned up and SOW the
corn broadcast as far as they can
reach, then get on another log and
continue the operation till all is
sowed or planted.
[ have bought 43 acres of land
and paid for it. Icleared II acres
for bananas-wiIl clear one acre in

ricotS, plums, &c. 1t cost ME $3.50
to clear Al acres, and it is not clean
then. 1t is simply cut down, brush
trees and all, fiat to the ground to
lay and dry for four or six weeks,
then set fire to it and away it goes,
and they call it cleared. l have
seen many small sea-going vessels
which navigate the shores of the
caribbean Sea with safety. Every

Corn Is King.

More than four per cent Of the
land surface of the country is devo-
ted to the cultivation of corn, and
the average acreage during the ten
years 1881 to 1890 was nearly r.
100000 acres each year. 1t is the
most widely distributed crop, and
grown to some extent in every state
and territory of the country, and a
prominent crop everywhere almost
except in the higher elevation Of the
mountain regions. The average pro-
dnction during the ten years ending
1890 was 1,6SO,000,0O0 busels. but
with the acreage now devoted to its
culture thoroughly favorable sea-
son insures crop Of more than q
OOO,OOO.OO0, bushels, the largest ce-
real crop grown in any country.
While corn is grown in all sections
Of the country, it is generally for
home use, the corn Of commerce
practically all coming from the sew
en- so-called surplus states inthe
Ohio and Missouri valleys. 1t is
grown almost enirely far domestic
use, and taking the average Of more
than twenty years the annual ex-
portation amounts to less than 70 ur
per cent of the crop

The Cows Cud.

There is no such thing as cows
cud in the sense in which this term
is often used as part of the animal
that may be lost. The cud is that
of the food which is brought up
from the first stomach and chewed
over again, after which it is again
swallowed and goes directly into
the third stomach, where it is mac
Grated in the maniples and then
passes to the fourth stomach and
finally digsted. When cow is
suffering from indigestion she may
be unable, by reason of the disorder
of the stomach, to bring up the
food orcud, and this makes her sick
and if it is continued, she stops eat
ing. The best thing to do in such
a case is to give pint of raw lin
see oil, aud repeat it if necessary,
when the trouble is generally re-
moved. The cud is formed by the
compression Of a portion Of the
food in a small chanel between the
first snd second stomachs and con-
nected with the gullet. 1t is about
five inches in length and two in
width.-New York Times.

General Skeen Dead.

CovINGToN, VA, May G,-Gener-
al William Skeen died this morn
ing at the residence Of his son-in-
law, G. 7. McClintic, Of this city,
in his seventy-fifth year. He was
Il leading lawyer Of this section and
Cor many years Commonwealth 5
attorney of Pocahontas county, and
also Of Allegheny county. He has
been i'll for sometime but his death
was Immediately cansed from the
effects of a trip to Pocahontas Co.,
". Va,-RichmOnd Weekly Times.
General Skeen was we'll known
in this county and was as a lawyer
and otherwise connected with it for
a number Of years after the war.
For many years prior to and curing
the war he made POcahontas cOun-
ty his home and it was during that
period that he first became known
to our people. The County Court
record book shows that during the
winter of 1872 he came from PO-
cahontas county at each term OF
the Court and.entered the proceed
ings for Mr.. Adam Stephenson, who
was Clerk, but who was absent from
the county attending the Constitu-
tional convention. His home be-
ing burned and his property other
wise damaged by Federal soldiers
during the war, he moved to Gov
ington, Va, where he has since
made his home. During all the
years that have interviewed since.
the General cast his lot with the
people of Virginia. He has never
forgotten his former West Virginia
home, and it was while visiting the
scenes of other years that he con-
tracted severe cold resulting in
his death.

InSOieaGe.

The following we clip from this
weeks issue of Yosi's Wcek'y writ
ten by WISE" otherwise Martin
Colaw, of Crabbottom;
"The Crabbottom correspondent
Wise has severed his connection
with the HIGHLAND RECORDER be-
cause of its downright partisan
Plagiarism, etc. He will continue
te serve his many friends through
the columns of the Weekly"
The above shows the insolence of
the writer, "Wise," and while we
should treat the matter with silent
contempt, we can't refrain from
saying that such statements i'll be-
come one who has been guilty OF
worse faults than plagiarism. We
thought his recent experience in an
adjoining county had taught him
to have more regard for truthful
statements. We will say that
Wise" came to Us as a correspond
ent, unsought and unasked, and we
suppose bee luse we refused to al
low our columns for him to express
his criticisms on his n i9hborS is
why we are accused of "dov might
partisan plagiarism"
