of this latest stage sensation, one can
more readily see why it's title is appro-
pirate. In England and Africa the ac-
ton OF this fayorite and famous piece
takes place, the first and final scenes
being laid in Devonshire. At the open
ing OF the drama an Intellectual attempt
is made to blight the existence of
Richard Blunt, the hero, who with his
wife goes to the gold and diamond fields
OF Africa. There he is bounded by an
old enemy, Dunstan Leech, who has
taken up the terrible calling OF q slaver
Aided by Arab followers, Leech eeizes
Biunts wife and child To escape the
mother fees through the wilderness
In her flight she reaches q gorge Find
ing the bridge gone, she resolves to
slay her child and commit suicide
From this appalling resolve she ia freed
by three friends (humble followers of
her husband. but none the less heroic

Broke Up in a Riot.

St. Louis, July PA special to the Chronicle from Spring Valley, H., says that a mass meeting of the miners in that district, which was held in the opera house at Spring Valley this morning, broke up in a riot, and as result nearly a dozen men are now nursing broken heads. The cause of the disturbance was the attempt to pass a resolution binding the miners to pay a 5-cent contribution to each ton of coal they mined to their striking brethren in Indiana to sustain them in their fight against a reduction. The non English speaking class is great ly in the majority and they proclaim they are ready to strike on an hours notice. They held a meeting of their own after the regular meeting was broken up and fiery speeches were made in the French and Italian tongues. The split between the conservative and radical elements among the miners is now an irreparable breach. James O'Connor state president of the Union Mine Workers, and District Delegate Watkins were intimidated by the foreign element and left the hall un- der police protection.

planters knew that Mir Bowler had S5,200,000 of their money held up in the department, and they wanted to know what their chances for getting it were. He had promised to tell them on the 7th proXimo, or thereabouts, and with what they would have to be content.
 In the course of their conversation the attitude of the comptroller toward the question was discussed in all of Its ei- fleets, and the reasons for the course pnr- sued by that official. It is understood that MT Bowler holds that it is his duty, in view of the decision of the court of appeals of the District of Columbia in the case of Miles ct al. ys. the secretary ot the treasury and the commissioner of in- ternal revenue. to be satisfied Of the con stitutionality of the act appropriatlng S2 800 600 to pay sugar bounty claims be- fore approving the warrants that have been drawn in favor of the various claim- ants.
 The case was a suit to compel the offi- cials named to have the plaintiffs prod uct tested for the payment or bounty, and The court of appeals, affirming the Judgment of the supreme court for the district, refused a writ of mandamus, holding that the law providing for the payment of the bounty was unconstitu- tional
 MT. Bowler admits that the decision of the court does not affect the act making
  but with the decision staring him in the face feels that he is justified in being assured that the latter act is well found ed. Especially is he justified in his opin- ion. because the plaintiffs in the man damus proceedings rested their case with the judgment of the court of appeals and did not take it to the supreme court as they might have done had they cared to press the matter to the ultimate de- termination. The comptroller, it is fur ther understood, does not assert that this present position is based on any specific provision of flaw regulating the dis charge of the duties of his office, but that ordinary prudence demanded he should call the attention of those inter ested to the facts in the case and hear what they had to say why the warrant should be issued. It is claimed on behalf Of the comptroller that he has decided nothing at all in the premises and that if the attorneys for the claimants shall show that he has Jurisdiction over the determination of the unconstitutionality of the act that he will not undertake to decide anything, but will doubtless order the warrants for the payments of the claims at issue

Selma, July 22.--(Special)-Col Fran cis L. Pettus has returned home.
 Your correspondent sought him out to- day and had brief but most satisfactory interview with him.
 "Is it fact, Colonel Fettus, that you are a candidate for governor as has been represented by several papers in the state?'
 Tt is not" said he. q am not a can didate for governor, nor have I author ized any statement to that effect. The statements that have gone abroad in the press about this matter are entirely without my authority"
 Have you sent out any authoritative denial of the report, colonel?" asked the Age-Herald representative.
 ''I have" said Colonel Pettus. T have sent out letter this afternoon, which presume will appear in print tomorrow, stating in very few lines that 1 am not a candidate for governor. This is all the news l can give, for this is all there is in the matter. Of course, like any other citizen of Ala bama, if the high honor of the goVernorship of this grand state were offered me 1 would appreciate 1t most highly, but 1 simply wish to state that am not candidate for the office"

filibustering expeditions from the east Florida coast, caused wide smile to spread over the faces of Fernandina peo- pie The story is absurd. The Emma B. is under five tons burden, is only 90 feet long, draws 21s feet of water and is a poor sea boat. The other yacht men toned is probably the Minim, which is but little larger. Neither is much more than a good sized launch, and if Spain is only to be defeated by means of expe- ditions carried by such tiny crafts, the independence of Cuba is a long way off. The only effective work either could do for the Cuban cause would be to slip out of the Amelia river and put arms and ammunition aboard of some larger yes sel out at sea.
 The ship yard mentioned is product of the New York correspondents inagf- nation. There is no ship yard in Fernan- dina. Collector of Customs Baltzell says that vessels over five tons burden must have licenses, and that neither of these little yachts are known on the books of the Fernandina custom house, though they belong here.

Spezzia, July 22.-Additional details of the collision between the Italian steam ships Ortigia and Maria P. and the sink ing of the latter in the Gulf of Genoa in clude the testimony of lookouts on both vessels that they sighted each ther too late to avert the collision. Each also charges that the captain and mate of the other vessel were asleep in their hunks when they should have been on deck.

He says he and his family were asleep in their b-rths when they were awakened by the shock of the collision. He immediately ran to the deck with two of the children, while his wife carried the baby in her arms. Reaching the deck they mounted the bridge. when they saw that the ship was sinking. He called to his wife to jump into the sea, which she did and he fol- lowed her with the two boys. The two elder boys were drowned. but Balena swan by the side of his wife and sue ceeded in holding her and the baby above the water until they were all picked up.

Dolph Edwards Brakeman, Is Literally Gut to Pieces at AttaIIa by Sam
 Harris.

Gadsden July 22.-(Special)-A cutting scrape occurred in Attalla this afternoon. which will result in the death of the vic tim.
 Do'ph Edwards, a brakeman. was cut to pieces by Sam Harris. The quarrel originated over a debt of cents, which Edwards owed Harris, when Harris at tackled Edwads with a knife, cutting hin, in twenty different places. One cut laid his head open, another his back. The most dangerous wound, and one that will prove fatal, reached diagonally across the breast from neck to hip bone, letting the bowels fall to the ground, where they were hanging when physicians arrived and replaced them. Edwards presents a terrible sight, being bloody all over and literally hacked to pieces. He is still alive, but cannot survive. Harris was arrested and jailed here.
