COUNTY SEAT WAR.

Wheeling, w. Va, Aug. IA dis
patch from Parsons, Tucker county,
says that the county court has made an
order to have the county records, winch
were forcibly moved by a mob to Parsons
last week, returned to st. George, and d.
rectcd the sheriff to execute the order
with a posse Of men. The Parsonites
have applied for a writ of error from the
decision of the county court, claiming
that Parsons is the legal county seat by
a former order Of the court and by a
vote of the people of the county. The
records at Parsons are still guarded by an
armed force of fifty men, and if the
sheriff attempts to remove them to st.
George there will be q fight. The Pc
culiar feature of the difficulty is that
Parsons has beer chosen as the county
seat in five elections, each Ii but the
last having beer overthrown by a legal
technicality. A bloody battle between the
two factions may occur at any time.

MANY IDLE MIN

Denver, Aug. 15.-The great disparity
between tie number of mon out Of en-
ployment and the amount of work to be
had was strikingly illustrated this morn
ing when 1000 unemployed men gathered
at the place where work on the main
sewer was to begin. There was work
for only forty men. A crowd of about
500 Italian laborers gathered near the
spot, but were not allowed to approach
by the crowd, which exhibited considera-
bic feeling, but was quiet and orderly.
Only three Italians We're given work, and
they were known to be old residents Of
the city. The projected public improve
mcnts cannot possibly supply work for
all the unemployed.
