RAN AGAINST BAYONETS.
Militia Cooled the Ardor of a Mob of strIk-
ing Miners.


PERU, Ills, Aug. The expected in
vasion of 400 strikers from Spring Valley,
Ladd and Seatonville, which had been
planned at n mass meeting, failed to ma
terialize. Sheriff Taylor brought down
so deputies and tho Ottawa militia The
Law and Order league of this city was
called out, pickets were placed on every
road with orders not to allow strikers to
cross the line between Bureau and La
Sale counties, and preparations made
which would have resulted in wholesale
slaughter if they had persisted in attempt
ing to carry out their plans
Murray, their leader. was officially in
formed of the reception they would re-
ceive, and their discretion OvCrpowcrcd
their valor. Only n few scattering gangs
Appeared at the county line and were
turned back wIthout'trOublc.
The militia met the strikers from the
mines south of the river. and n short but
lively experience with the bayoncts CON
vinccd the invaders that they had no par
ticular business on this side of the river.
Meantime 100 men went down into the
mines and arr working Mt tn" Columbus
scale. The Union shaft, owned by the
same company, will hcgIn work today,

WHEAT ranges in price somewhere be-
tween So and So cents per bushel. 1t
needs little figuring to convince the public
that at such prices the farmer cannot real
ize the actual cost of cultivation. How
are those farmers to live who grow wheat
only or whose principal crop is that cereal?
We must either grow less wheat or find a
market abroad for it. But where is such a
market to be found? 1t is now estimated
that we have at least 100 900, 900 surplus
bushels of wheat, aud in a few
weeks the new crop. which is rep
resented as being good. will be gar
nered and will add several hundred mil
lions of bushels more to the already vast
surplus. What disposition can or will be
made of it? Bismarck has made many pro-
foundry philosophical utterances. but
never one more strikingly truthful than
that made to deputation that called on
him: "Unle<s the agriculturist prospers
the state will languish." Farmers were
considered as being fairly remunerated,
and only fairly, when they realized a dol
lar a bushel for their wheat. What must
be their condition when they are paid
little more than half as much?

Of another division of the bird tribe

THE cholera has advanced westward as
far as Holland. where few days ago there
were eight new cases and seven deaths. 1t
will thus be seen that the plague is steadily
asserting itself. and that any day it may
invade England and thence readily find
its way across the ocean to the United
States. There can. therefore, be no harm
in repeating the oft-repeated caution to
our health authorities, to maintain con-
slant vigilance and to leave no loopholes
through which it could possibly find an en-
trance unguarded

The regret with which Gladstone ex-
presses his inability to respond to the cor
dial American invitation to make a visit to
these shores will be sincerely echoed in
every true American heart. As the great
champion for Ireland the grand old man"
displayed the genuine American spirit.
His reception in this country would have
taken the form of a national ovation. He
may be sure, as he sits IN his half blind
ness. that he has the deepest sympathy
and best wishes of that new world which it
may never be his proud privilege to be-
hold, where Gladstone" is an honored

THE PHILADELPHIA FIRE.
Buildings In the Baseball Park, Stables and
Car Depot burned

Buildings In the Baseball Park. Stables and
Car Depot Burned
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. THE pavilion
and spectators stands ut the Philadelphia
ball park and the largo stables Of the orn-
nibus company were destroyed by fra and
the depot of the Thirteenth and Fifteenth
streets and the Twelfth and Sixteenth
street divisions Of the Philadelphia Trac-
ton company, the saloon property of
James J. Boyle and many private resi-
dences were more or less damaged.
The Philadelphia baseball team was
practicing on the diamond when a col
umn of thin blue smoke, followed by a
small red flame, was seen rising from one
of the turrets OF the main pavilion. Three
of the players gave the alarm and attempt
cd to extinguish the blaze. They were
quickly driven back by the heat, however,
and made n rush for their clothes The
players had a narrow escape, for as they
seized as much OF their property as pos
sible in their arms and ran to the doors
the blazing timbers were already falling
about them.
An alarm Of fire brought ali the engines
in the city to the spot, but the pavilions
and open seats were already crumbling
under the roaring flames. Tho fire next
jumped Fifteenth street and attacked the
stable of the omnibus company, which
covers the entire adjoining block. The
offices of the company were soon Quilted,
and then the flames made their way to
the great haymows on the second floor of
the new brick structure, where over 200
| tons of hay were stored. About $50 horses
| were in the stable when it caught, but
the animals, together with the vehicles
stored there, were oil saved after almost an
herculean effort on the part of the sta
blemen and bystanders. The haymows
| burned all the afternoon.
The next building to go was the prod
uce shop of William Bantom, at 1901
Tucker street. Mr.. Bantom was able to
save nothing, and his establishment is a
total wreck. Among the moro seriously
damaged dwellings are 1886, 253s and 25iO
North Fifteenth street. The traction COM
pany's car department on Huntingdon
street opposite the main pavilion caught
fire, but was quickly extihguished. The
saloon of j. J. Boyle, at Broad and Hunt
| ingdon streets, was similarly damaged.
The following were severely burned
while saving property or trying to extin-
guish the flames: James MCGEE, a fire
man, overcome by heat; Charles Boyer
severely burned; Assistant Engineer FL.
