BATTLE WITH WEALERS.
They Tried to Capture n Freight Train, bu
Were Themselves Captured.

CoNNEILSvILLE, Pa, Aug. i.-Jcffrey's
commonwcalers, numbering about 200,
arrived here and at once scattered through
the town demanding food. When Balti-
more and Ohio freight train No 30 pull
ed out for the east about 9 u clock, tho
crowd made a rush to capture it. About
all succeeded in getting aboard, but when
about one mile out of the yard the train
was stopped and the swarm of boarders
driven off.
They got together on the ground and
with n rush en- masse swept down the op-
position and crowded into the box cars
Then the trainmen, REINFORCED by yard
men, made n combined charge, and an
other battle cnsucd The attacking party
was met by n storm of stones, clubs
links. pins and scrap. George Workman
and Cashier Thomas were badly injured
While many of the commonwealers went
down under the blows from the miscella-
ncous weapons Of the railroaders, some of
the army escaped, but about 100 were
beaten back into the cars and locked in.
The train was then run back to the town
and the prisoners jailed. One of the COM
monwealers, who was badly injured, was
taken to the hospital and at midnight had
not regained consciousness. A large crowd
surrounds the depot, and great excitement
prevails.

FEARS FOR NELIMAN.
Ensii-hmen Predict Utter Failure and Pc
haps Death.

LONDON, Aug. THE Royal Geograph-
ical society has received the following tel
egram from Baron Nordenskjold:
The steamer Ragnyald Jarl, which con-
veyed the wellman expedition to the po-
lar regions, has been crushed in the ice
near Walden island Six men who were
with the expedition have returned to Nor
way. The other members OF the party
continued northward on the ice, but It Is
evidently impossible for them to penetrate
far, and the expedition is likely to return
very much exhausted to the Swedish
houses at Mossel bay.
These houses arc excellent, but the pro-
visions they contain will not be sufficient.
In August and September there will prob
ably be no leo between Enyl and Icefiord,
and Mossel bay will then he accessible. 1
think q relief expedition Is desirable
The Times, commenting ON the above,
says that Baron Nordenskjold opinion
deserves the most serious attention. 1t Is
too late, it remarks, to express an opinion
upon the foolhardiness of the expedition
Mosscl bay may he bcsct by ice early in
the season. and it Is to be hoped that the
party will get safely out OF their rash ad-
venture. Doubtless Mr.. Wellman's coun-
trymcn will not delay in taking steps to
prevent the possibility of lamentable ca
tastrOphe.

provides that any pensi0n granted to any per-
sons shall bc conclusive against the Government
Of the right to such pension, and IL can only
be cancelled when it is made to appear to q

sion was obtained by fraud perjury. The
bill explicitly provides that neither the Secre-
tary of the Interior nor tho Commissioner OF

ARMY AND NAVY.

In Inspector. General I}reckinridgos annual
report ho makes strong argument in favor Of
closer relationship between the National
Guard and the Regular Army. He says that
schools to which Army officers are detailed as
military instructors deserve the support of
tho National Government He condemns the
red-tape requirements Of Army business
methods. On the subject of recruiting lie says:
Perhaps the best way to1guard against filing
the Army with waits and strays is to accept the
recruit immcd iately'at his own home, and place
him directly in his permanent military family
(Which is the company and thus avoid subject
ing him to the outcast feeling of loneliness and
the treatment that an unassigned recruit re-
ceives." He offers suggestions for improving
the homing- pigeon service. In q chapter de-
voted to the Sold Home at Washington
Gen. Breckenridge notes many things that
should be adopted for the betterment Of the
veterans, and declares that the Home ought to
keep pace with or keep ahead OF, the benefits
and improvements given active young sold iers
at the military posts.
A test. held at the Indian Head Proving Sta
tion last week, demonstrate that an armor-
plate OF nickel steel, varying in thickness from
ia inches to IA inches, cannot stand success
fully the impact Of q Holtzer projectile with
velocity of 1000 feet per second, thrown from
an eight-inch rife. The trials of armor for two
of the monitors and the ram katahdin at Bath
Me- were the first instance in the history of
the new navy where the plates have made a
poor showing against Empowered guns. The
plate tried represented several lots of armor
for the batteries of the M0nadnock, the side
arm0r of the Puritan, and the coming tower
OF the Katahdin, in all about 500 tons.
