HERE AND THERE.

The joke Is on resident of East Pierre,
who attended with his family the Easter
services in the Grace church Sunday
night. The gas lights were frozen out,
and so the neighbors were called on for a
few lamps, which only operated to make
the darkness more intense in some por-
tions of the church. Among other cxer-
cises was the usual one of taking up a
collection. After the basket had made
the rounds, been deposited in its place
and the entertainment was over, the Sun
day school superintendent proceeded to
coEnt the varied assortment of pennies,
nickels, dimes and buttons. which were to
60 to the missionary cause. and was par
alyzed to find reposing thcrcamJng
bright five dollar gold piece. He called
council of church workers, and after
some of them had bitten the coin and pro-
nounced it good, they lifted up their
voices in psalms of praise to the unknown
bur cheerful and liberal givcr.
The next day the resident referred to
was instituting a lively search In quest
of the treasurer OF that church. or the one
who handled the cash collected. He was
overheard to say: "Dogon this thing of
going to church, anyhow. Its the fist
time I've been for don't know how long
and then ike a fool dropped five dol
lar gold piece in place of a penny. because
it was so dark | couldn't see. That's
what fellow gets by going to church.
won't 90 again. and I'll have that money
back or know the reason. You kc:ch me
in church any more and you can kick
me" And then he got the bearings of the
treasurer and shot away on his rcdemp-
tion scheme. We have not heard whether
lie succeeded or not.

Nome worthy to succeed rennxson.

It is now definitely understood, says
London journal, that there is no in
tention of appointing a successor to
Tennyson at present. 1t is frankly ad-
mitted that the reason is because there
is no poet worthy to wear the laurel
last worn by Wordsworth aud Tenny-

the Conservative leaders to leave the va

Vice President of the American Rail-

able Statement.
Freight Car Burning in Chicago, He
Says, Was Done by Order OF Gem
era. il tnagers.
Rioters at Blue Island Led by q Piuk-
erton Man, Also Employed by
the Railroads.

CHICAGO, July l9.-At the county
Jail Vice President Howard of the A.
r. u, made the following remarkable
statement:
This thing is going TO he a test case.
We don't consider ourselves bigger than
the law, and incidentally we think the
railroads are not. We are getting some
evidence for the coming legal battle,
and we consider it o pretty fair grade.
Here is letter we received telling Of
evidence that most OF the freight car
burning done in Chicago was done by
two men in the employ of the General
Managers association. One OF the se-
cret agents OF certain committee saw
two men on the night of the big fire go
through the yards with o handcar
loaded with inflammable waste. which
they lighted and systematically threw
among the cars. This agent overheard
conversation between the men from
which he CLEANED that they were
paid $500 down and were to
receive 5000 more when the job was
done This. we understand, was before
the troops were called out. An effort
is now being made to arrest these two
men. We turther have pretty positive
evidence that the big man who led the
mob of 5000 at Blue 1slaLd was u
Pinkerton man employed by the rail-
roads, aud It is significant that although
he could 1e easily identified, yet he has
not been arrested. It is safe to say that
this case will not b. entirely one-sided. :"
AT Uhlicl.'s hall, the A. r. U. head
quarters, larger crowd was gathered
than for several days past. The arrest
| OF the leaders was discussed by the ex-
cited groups that stood about the COM
| mittee rooms and Railways, and the
action of the authorities was severely
| criticised. : Several OF the local organ
izers delivered short addresses. and the
usual claims that the strike Is still on
were made.

Forest Fires Doing Great Damage i'm New
Jersey.

Jersey.
Eco HARBoR Cry, N. j., July 1S.--
There is no end yet 10 the forest fires
that have been raging in this vicinity
for the past week. Tuesday an entire
village was wiped out The flames that
had been sweeping towards bridgeport
were turned aside by the wind, and
during the early hours of the morning
they reached u point near the little
hamlet OF Greenbush. The residents,
in the meantime, had driven their live
stock to a place of safety, and when 1t
became apparent that the village was
doomed they loaded their household eff
fects into wagons and hurried them
away. Much still remained to be
moved when the flames reached the
houses. The village stood in the little
clearing in the pine belr, and the stacks
OF hay and the dry wooden uildings
proved even better TODD for the ele-
ments than the woods around. The
villagers had been forced TO flee long
before this and are now encamped in u
clearing some miles away. In addition
TO the destruction of this village, many
residences and arms have beer de-
struyed. 5,

SAN FRANCISCO, July ~. The South
ern Pacific company continues to run
passenger trains more or less regularly
during the hours OF daylight, but all
night trains are still abandoned. For
the present but one westhound and one
eastbound overland train day will be
run on the Ogden route. Non-union
train crews are not focking to division
headquarters and this is probably the
reason why 80 few freight trains are
being moved. The first fruit train des-
patched for the East since the strike
was inaugurated was sent out Of Sacra-
mento during the morning.
AT Sacramento the only exciting Incl
dent of the day was the despatching OF
q train bearing 90 United States regu-
lars to Dunsmuir on the Oregon
branch. The companys agent at
Dunsmuir reported that the strikers
there were becoming ugly.
