county millionaire who died few
DAYS ago, was most interesting and

friend of jefferson Davis, and when
the latter was elected president OF the
Southern Confederacy he appointed
Payne secretary of the interior, but he
never served in that capacity. On the
contrary he came north and settled in
Fremont county, where he has since
amassed a fortune estimated at from
81 900, 900 to Sd. OOO, 900. He owned land
in every state in the union except one,
though the most of his real estate was
in Fremont county, where he had
5000 acres. When jefferson Davis
died he owed Mr.. Payne Sl0O, 900. which
he had forgotten to pay. When Davis
died. PAYNE was called to his home in
Mississippi to preach his funeral SER

MISSIONARY RIOTS.
MORE GENERAL THAN AT
FIRST REPORTED.
Every Station in Western China Loote0
by Mobs> and 146 Missionaries Only
Escape With Their Lives, After Flee
ing Hundreds Of Miles.

NEW YORK, Sept 2.-Reports of the
outraRes upon missionaries in China
have come from members of the Amer
lean Baptist Missionary union to the
Baptist Missionary Magazine, which
shows that tn. uprisings were more
general than has been told before. In
the last week of May and the first of
June all the missionary stations in
Western China were looted by mobs
anu l46 missionaries, men, women and
children were driven away, escaping
only with their lives.
In the province of SEE Chuan, the
largest in the empire, there were
many small stations scattered over the
valley of the Upper Yang Use river.
Most of the missionaries had gone to
the field in the past five years. While
the authorities seem to have tried, in
some instances, to protect the mis-
sionaries, the only service they were
able to render was to help them to es-
cape. The missionaries fled hundreds
of miles down the river, travelling on
RATS and in Households. hardly carry
ing so much as change OF clothing
and reaching places of safety only
after two weeks of hardship.
The Baptist missionaries believe the
riots were melted by members of the
official class. They kept in the back
ground. however, and, to all appear
ances, the students were at the bottom
of the mischief.

Old Terra Firma Shakes Over . Large
Territory.
BROOKLYN, n. Y, Sept. 3.-Three
distinct earthquake shocks were felt
by the residents of Brooklyn about 6
o'clock yesterday morning. No dam
age to life or property is reported from
any section of the city. The districts
of East New York and South Brooklyn
received the greatest shock, but the
rumblings were distinctly felt in other
sections of the city. Contradictory
reports are given as to the severity OF
the shocks. The first shock, felt
at 6 o'clock, was followed by rumb-
ling noise, like distant thunder. This
was followed by two other slighter
shocks, which, according to most of
the reports, died away in low,
grating tone.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. Am earth
quake shock lasting several seconds
was felt in this city shortly after 6
o'clock yesterday morning. The dis
turbance by mother earth of the quiet
of the Sabbath morning was violent
enough while it lasted to create q good
deal of CONSERVATION and not little
damage. Buildings swayeo percepIi,
bly, windows clattered and banged and
clocks and pictures toppled from their
places. At the Geological gardens the
vibration was clearly pr rceptible, but
the excitement which followed among
the animals continued a good while
after the seismic disturbances. Head
keeper Manly asserts that the trumpet
ing of the elephants, the roar of the
lions and the screeching of the birds
was simply terrific. The shock was
perceptibly felt at Sandy Hook, Wilm-
ington, Del, and Chester, Pa.
JERSEY CITY, n. j., Sept. New
Jersey felt the force of the earthquake,
the tremor extending throughout the
northern part, while the southern Sec
ton appears to have escaped the ex'
perience entirely. From all of the
cities and villages in the northern Sec
ton the story received is the same

CHOLERA IN HONOLULU.
Natives and Chinese Stricken By Ne
Dread Plague

Natives and Chinese Stricken By Ne
Dread Plague.
SAN FRANCISCO Sept. 2.-The Ocean
ic steamship company's steamer Mono
wal, which arrived last night from
Sydney, Australia, did not stop at
Honolulu. as was her custom. The
officers explain that soon after coming
within sight of the port Of HSnolulu
they caught sight of a small boat max
ing toward them. It's action seemed
to portend something out of the ordin-
airy. When it had approached within
hailing distance. it stopped short, and
signals were made that the Monowai
should not come nearer.
One of the men in the boat then
shouted to the officers that cholera had
broken out in Honolulu. He said,
further, that it was raging among the
natives and Chinese. and that there
had been eight deaths from the plague.
The officers of the Monowai were also
told across the water that the cholera
had broken out soon after the China
steamer Belgic had left Honolulu. 1t
is supposed that the steamer brought
the epidemic from China.
The warning was accepted readily
and the report credited. for the in
formants in the boat were recognized.
The spokesman in the small boat was
the American consul at Honolulu, Mr..
Ellis Mills of Virginia, nd with him
were the Pacific mail agent and other
officers of prominence
The record of the Belgic being
looked up. it was found that she ar
rived here August IL from Honolulu,
but that there was no sickness on
board. After an examination by
quarantine officers, her passengers
were landed and the cargo discharged.
The Belgic is now on her return trip
to Japan and China ports.

and Iron Company Demonstrates.
DENVER, Col, Sept. 3.-The third
annual report of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1895, just made public,
shows that the gross earnings for the
year were 5,667, 1855, as compared with
S4,375,474 for the preceding twelve
months. The company earned all its
fixed charges, paid dividend of eight
per cent on 81 ,OOO,GOO preferred stock,
and at the end of the year mad sur
plus of 81, STA. The net earnings were
$SO4, 229. an increase of Si43, AGA over
the preceding year.
The coal product showed an in
crease of 141, 649 tons and the coke
product increased 65,993 tons. The
total product of coal was i.4sO, 4:5
tons and of coke 249, $50 tons. The
company produced upwards of $4,000
tons of manufactu iron. 1t has
been shown that the Fuel and Iron

THE SUGAR BEET.
1t Promises to Become a Factor In the
Worlds Sugar Market.

1t Promises to Become a Factor in tho
Worlds Sugar Market.
NORFOLK, Neb., Sept 3.-There are
about 1000 acres of sugar beets in
Norfolk district. all laid by" and in
much better condition than in any
previous year. Recent rains have ben
'efited the beets greatly and with con-
tinued favorable conditions for root
development the results of the harvest
will exceed other seasons and will
probably be more than 10000 tons,
which would mean an output of some
1000, 600 pounds of graduated sugar,
and run Of more than 100 days and
nights.
The advantages of beet culture were
clearly demonstrated last year. Dry
weather reduced the tonnage, but
made the root richer in sugar.
Weather conditions cut other crops
very short, so that the beet was the
chief one, and in many cases the beet
crop is equally as heavy in other parts
of the states. 1t is believed that the
enormous sugar output of the state
will be factor in the worlds sugar
market

CORPORATIONS It WAR.
The Western Union and the Southern
Pacific at Outs.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. "A dispute
has arisen between the Western Union
and the Southern Pacific. The former
leases all of the telegraph lines of the
railroad and operates them as part of
its telegraph system. This arrange
ment has been in force ever since
1877. One of the provisions of
the contract provides that the Western
Union shall pay Mr.. Huntington $780,.
900 annually. The payment for this
year is now several months overdue,
and the whole troub BILE is the Outgrowth
of negligence on the part of the West
ern Union. The Western Union wishes
reduction of 33 per cent made in this
yearly rental.
Mr.. Huntington and the Western
Union people have had the matter
under consideration for some time, and
the former is said to have so far de-
clined to make any reduction.

before his death had scarcely missed a
day from his desk for any cause. The

CUMRY OWNERS BLAMED.
They Are Ccnsured for Employing an
Incompetent Engineer.


DENVER, Col, Aug. 3l.-The cor
oner's jury, after six DAYS il estiga-
ton of the Gumry hotel disaster, made
its repor. last evening. 1t says that
the testimony was conflicting and that
it is impossible to fix the responsibility
for the disaster on any one person, but
that the owners, Peter Gumry and
r. c. Grenier, were blamable for re-
curing of their engineer sixteen hours
work out of twenty-four, and for en-
ploying an inexperienced engineer,
whose habits were dissipated and UNI
relia BILE.
Engineer Hellmuth Loescher, the re-
port says, had been drinking on the
night of the disaster, and further he
had not examined the safety valve to
the boiler for two months, proving
him to be unfit to occupy any position
of responsibility. The city boiler in
spector is censured for falling to IN
spect the boiler after recent repairs
were made upon it. The report closes
with a recommendation that an or
dinance be passed regulating the use
of steam boilers.
