Gold Going to Europe.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The indications

Teutonic and 81 900, 900 has already been
engaged for shipment today.

Desperate Indian Prisoners Jump From
Cage and Break Their Necks.
ALBUQUERQUE, N. M, May 1.-Two of
the three Navajo Indians confined in
the county Jail here on the charge of
numbering M. ID. Smith, a merchant and
Indian trader at Defiance Station on
the Atlantic & Pacific railroad, few
days ago, attempted suicide yesterday.
At 7 o'clock in the morning two of the
Indians assembled to the top of a cage
with the intention of jumping off head
first, but were pulled down by other
prisoners. They were persistent, how
ever, hastily jumped up again, and
Jumped off head foremost. One of them
struck an iron bar in his descent, break
ing his neck; the other fell on the stone
floor of his cell, fracturing his skull.
The third Indian concluded not to make
the attempt when he saw the sad
plight of his companions. Strange tc
say, the Indian with broken neck is
not yet dead, while the other will re

WASHINGTON, May 4-The senators
and representatives who assisted in the
repeal of the Sherman act express
themselves in hearty sympathy with
the bimetallic movement in England.
Senator Hill said:
81 Joined in the dispatch to the bi-
metalists In England because desired

standard The best thinkers and best
writers, best statesmen and best fnan-
ciers are gradually but surely realizing
the fact that the single standard of gold
means the impoverishment of people
everywhere, and some adequate relief
from the present conditions is essential.
There are some indications that English
sentiment is now drifting toward BIZ
metalism. 1t is the duty of this govern
ment 10 pursue the course which will
hasten the day when blmetalism will
be an accomplished fact. If the pres
ent administration does not shape its
ruling in that direction the people will
select one that will. Bimetalism by
international agreement, or independ-
emily if necessary, is TO be the great
issue of the future"

GONE WILD FOR OWENS.
5000 Kentucky Men and Women at
an Owens Barbecue.

Lexington, Ky, Sept, 1.-THE last
barbecue of the campaign was given TO-
dav at Paris. the county seat Of Bourbon
county, by the supporters of Mr.. Owens.
In many respects it was a greater success
than the one held in Lexington on
Aug. 30.
The barbecue was held on the Paris
fair grounds. and a conservative estimate
places the number of people at $1,000
Seated on the speakers stand were many
of the most prominent men in Central
Kentucky. Many ladies occupied seats
OF the STAND.
The first speech of the afternoon was
made by Emmett Dixon, a membe of the
legislature, who. after testifying TO the
high character OF Mr.. Owens, urged the
voters to 60 the polls and vote for Mr..
owens next Saturday. He was followed
bv Judge Jere Morton of Lexington, who
made a stirring appeal to the
manhood of the district to
turn Breckenridge down. Then followed
one of the most touching scenes OF this
remarka ole campaign. Mr.. Lockhart
who was master of ceremonies, intro
duced Col. William E. Simms, a man y
years of age, with hair ana beard as white
as the driven snow. II was the first
speech he had made since the war,
The tall, trembling form shook with
emotion when he began in voice almost
destroyed by age, to tell of the deep dis
grace and humiliation that would come
TO this proud people if they returned Col
Breckinridge to congress. 1t seemed, he
said, as if the whole world is looking
upon us and thousands and thousands of
faces are looking up TO God, protesting to
Him against the return of this man
Col. Simms was followed by judge
George B. Kinkaid, who made an appeal
to the voters to reIire Col Breckinridge
from public life.
Mr.. Owens then took the stand for an
hour He was listened to with marked
attention. He made one of the strongest
speeches of the campaign. He scored
Col Breckenridge and set his hearers
wild. He did not believe that Breckin-
ridge had one drop of manly blood in
his veins, or he would not have shocked
the whole civilized world, the entire peo-
pie of his state, and of his district, and of
his home, by making the race
for congress after he had con-
fessed to the terrible crimes that
had been proven against him.
He closed his address by declaring that
should he be elected to congress he would
wish to hear no sweeter song than that
he owed that honor to the proudest and
best wcmanhood that ever graced and
blessed a land.

THE CONTEMPT CASES.
Testimony of Trainmaster as to His
Experience.

Experience.
Chicago. Sept. 1l.-William Kirby, a
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy train
master, was the first witness to-day IN the
contempt cases against Debs and Others
to even directly connect any of theofficers
or directors of the American Railway
Union with acts of violence committed
during the strike.
Kirby took the stand early in the after
noon session. He related how a train on
which he was riding was stopped, and
continued: Il was seized by two or three
switchmen whom 1 knew and told to get
off the engine" l told them tC
go away and leave me alone. I am act
ing under orders of my superior oficer. -
To this they replied: We're acting IN
der orders, too" When | asked them
whose orders, they answered: Under

On objection of counsel for defense
Judge Woods ruled: "a Will admit the
testimony but ! will say uneauivocaIIy
that unless it is borne out by further evi
dence | viii not consider it detrimental
TO Mr.. Debs' case. +"
Judge WOODS also said: 81 am willing

A queer case of natural cross-fertilization is
reported from An.ou France. A grapevine,
which grows in close proximity to large ap-
pie tree of the russell variety has developed
full bunch Of small apples on the stem
which is usually set with grapes. There are
twenty nine OF these queer "gra pe-apples' in
all, and they are so thlCkly set upon the stem
that many OF them. all in fact, except those
growing at the ends, are mashed out of shape,
so that they are almost as angular as corn
grains. Each of these freaks has its bios
som cad like true apples; aad, in the tine
S seclmens which have been e Aamined, eleven
poorly developed apple seeds were found.

cited over the publication Of the facts relating

SOUTHERN ADVANTAGE.
Sovereign Seems to Think That the
South is to be the Poor
Mans Paradise.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Dec. 29.-J. r.
Sovereign, master workman OF the
knights of Labor, has made a
careful study OF the advantages OF
the southern laboring men and
the man limited in means. In a
letter to the Southern States Maya
zine he writes: 81 am more favor
ably impressed with the South
than any other portion Of our coun-
try, not alone as the most promis-
ing place for the location OF CO.
operative colonies, but for the es-
tablishment of individual enter
prize Of all kinds. The climate and
natural resources are such as
to expressly invite those OF linn
tied means. The South Is the
coming Eden Of America, and the
vast tracts OF its fertile soil that
are now open to settlement on
terms within the easy reach OF all
who desire to avail themselves Of
the opportunity offered to make 1t
the one place above all others, is in
my opinion, where people seeking
homes and investment should go.
The last federal census shows that
of the twelve millions increase in
population during the decade from
1880 to 1890 nine millions or three
fourths of it was in the cities, and
it is generally admitted that, our
large northern cities are fast be-
coming overcrowded. 1t therefore
seems to me that, owing to the
great inducement now offered by
the south, the overcrowded urban
population OF the north should
avail itself Of the privilege and go
south, were 'human life, coupled
with a little northern enterprise,
can be sustained better with less
capital and less effort then in any
other place on the globe"

EARLY CONGRESS MEETING.
Cleveland May Call the Fifty-fourth
and Ask Financial Help of
His Enemies.


WAsHINGToN, Dec. 29.-The talk
OF an early extra session of the
fifty. fourth congress has been re-
vived at the capital by the contin-
genCies which may arise growing
out Of the failure OF necessary legis-
lation to pass at the present session.
Upon two pending bills hinges the
question Of whether Mr.. Cleveland
will convoke the new Congress
soon after the death Of the fifty
third, on March 4th. These two
bills are the urgent deficiency ap-
preparation for carrying the in
come tax into effect, and
which is pending in the
Senate, and the Carlisle currency
bill, which is under debate in the
House and the fate Of which will
be decided soon after the House re-
convenes January 3.
Opponents Of the income tax, led
by Senator'S Hill and Quay, will
make a desperate fight in the Sem
ate and will exhaust every parlia-
mentary expedient to defeat it.
The condition OF the treasury Is
critical. The gold reserve Is dwind-
ling rapidly and another bond issue
is regarded as inevitable, IL moth
ing is done to prevent the present
drain of gold.
Mr.. Cleveland is very much in
earnest in his desire for some legis-
lation at this session to relieve the
treasury and IL 1t is not forthcom-
ing there are many who believe he
will Immediately convoke the
Fifty-fourth Congress and ask the
needed relief OF his political adver.
Saries.
