WE'RE ALL TOO DRUNK.
No One Able to Unlock the Doors o
the Cells.

No One Able to Unlock the Doors OF
the Cells.
Lebanon, Ind. August ia mob
Of forty men went to the Springfield
Jail about o'clock this morning and
demanded the keys of the cells of Mat
thew Lewis and James Ray, who as
saulted Mrs. Shields recently. The
jailer, seeing resistance was useless,
handed over the keys, and the mob
proceeded to business. Everybody in
the mob was drunk, and none of them
seemed to be able to unlock the Jail
door. After working about the locks
and bolts without result, they secured
sledghammers and tried to break down
the doors. They proved too strong for
them, however, and after two hours
hard work they abandoned the job.
They then emptied their revolvers into
the cells of the Jail, but no one was
hit. Returning the keys to the jailer,
they said they would be back tonight
and left. The mob was made up of
men from Washington and Marion
counties. The two negroes will be
confined at Louisville until the excite.
ment is over.

Battle With Tramps.

Ashtabula, O., August 13.-Six men
had desperate battle in a box car be-
tween Erie, Pa, and this place, last
night. Three stonecutters, II. q.
Easily, James Smith and John Mein-
hart, boarded the train at Erie to come
to Ashtabula. At water tank three
tramps entered the car. When the
train had got under way again, two of
the tramps drew revolvers and asked
them to hand over what money they
had. Smith had revolver and showed
fight. In an instant battle between
him and the two tramps was in prog
ress. Easily was shot through the
groin, Smith received wound in the
neck and one of the tramps had bull
let through his neck. On arrival of
the train here the wounded men were
cared for. The tramp, who gave his
name as John Cuddy. of Waterbury,
Conn, is in a critical condition.

NO SIGN OF REACTION.
Business Continues to Be Very Active
for Midsummer.

| Business Continues to Be Very Activ,
| for Midsummer.
New York, August 12.-R. g. Du1
& Co. say in the Weekly Review O.
Trade:
Business continues unusually active
for midsummer, and though there is &
perceptible relaxation, there are ne
signs of reaction. The one change ot
great Importance which the past weel
has brought is the amicable settlement
between coal miners and employers in
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. II
is said about 100000 men will have
their wages increased after October ]
by this adjustment, and while the en-.
largement of purchasing power is Of
consequence it seems even more i'm.
portant that chronic case of contro.
versy has been removed by the new
agreement as to company stores. There
is no important change in crop pros.
poets and at this time no news is emf.
nently good news.
Wheat has declined fraction with
very scanty transactions, the extremely
small Western receipts influencing the
market for the present more than the
restricted exports. The concerted
withholding of wheat by Western
farmers, if continued, would doubtless
affect the price in the end, but it has
already stopped Atlantic exports al
most entirely. The Western farmers
may find reason to regret that they did
not ship their wheat at the proper
time. 1t tends to lower prices with
more encouraging prospects, and the
expectation of heavy corn crop affects
prices of provisions as might be ex-
pected.
The industries continue to make
progress and higher prices for iron and
steel products prove that the supply
has not yet outrun the demand. Bes-
semer iron is shade weaker, but grey
forge has advanced about 60 cents, and
finished products are remarkably firm.
Lake copper has advanced to 12c. Tin
has declined about quarter of a cent
and is quoted at $14.20. Lead is a
trife stronger at So. 55. The anthra-
cite coal market is completely demon
allied, and prices have again yielded a
little to about the lowest ever known.
Sales of wool are not as much in
f1ated by speculation as they were dur
ing the first half of July, but they still
exceed the usual consumption in the
manufacture, amounting at the three
chief markets to $780, 800 pounds.
Prices are very firm. Some staple cot
ton goods have again advanced in
price and the market is unusually
strong for the season.
Failures for the week were 225 in
the United States against 264 last year,
and 43 in Canada against 81 last year.

CANADA COMPETITION
A Bulletin From the Agricul.
tura1 Department.
THE WORLDS MARKET SERIES
creased Twenty-One Per Cent
in Ten Years.

Washington, August 13.-The ex-
tent of the competition of Canada with
the United States in foreign markets is
pointed out in a bulletin, to be issued
by the secretary of agriculture in a
few days. The bulletin is the fourth
of the worlds market series in course
of publication by the department, and
embodies the reports of thirty of our
consuls in the Dominion. 1t shows
that the total export Of Canada in
creased from $50, 100000 in 1885 to
$11S, 900, 900 in 1894, Or 33 per cent;
the imports from $119,000,O00 to
$123, 900, 900, Or 13 per cent; and the
total trade from $19S, 900, 900 to $241,
100000, or 21 per cent during the same
period. The largest proportional in
crease was in 1892, when the value of
the to-. trade exceeded that of the
preceding year about II per cent.
From 1883 to 1891, inclusive, the trade
of Canada with the United States ex-
ceeded that of any other country, but
since then the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland has taken
the first rank, with the United States
second.
An important fact is that large
share of the agricultural products 60
ing abroad from Canadian seaports
are cereals and -four in transit from
the United States. Of $27, 900, 900 of
such products shipped last year, $9,-
900, 900 was American merchandise.
Of late years increased attention has
been given by the government of Can
ada to dairy interests, encouraging the
dairy associations throughout the coun-
try, and passing strict sanitary laws
regulating the manufacture of cheese
and butter. No authorizations can be
used, and the importation, manufac-
ture and sale of oleomargarine and
other similar substances is prohibited.
Through the quantity Of butter export
ed decreased from 10, 500, 900 pounds
in 1888 to 5, 500, 900 in 1894, nearly so
per cent, the value declined only from
$1,7OO,O0O to 81, 100000. This indi-
Gates improvement in the quality of
butter exported.
The statistics of the fishing industry
and the forest products show that the
value of the former in 1894 was $780,
900, 900, and the latter over $50, 0,000,-
900. In wood pulp, in 1894, the
United States alone imported from the
Dominion $369,O10.

A Lost Art Discovered.

Pittsburg, August 13. - George
Crowley, Cornelius Shay and John
Ryan, iron wokers have found the
lost art of welding copper to iron OF
steel. They show several samples OF
the metals perfectly welded. The last
record history gives of these metals
having been welded was in 500 B. G.
The value of the discovery comes in the
fact that copper offers greater resist.
ance to the action of salt water than
any other metal.
The Carnegie Company has offered
the men a fixed price for the secret. A
shop has been fitted up for the men al
the Homestead plant, where tomorrow
the men propose to weld plate o1
copper to an ingot of nickel steel armol
plate. The Carnegie company hopes
to be able to cover all armor plates fo1
the big battleships.

OMAHA'S POLITICAL ROW.
Talk of Settlement in the Local Courts
and Also of Force.

Talk of Settlement in the Local Courts.
and Also of Force.
Omaha, August 13.-There now ap-
pears to be a fair prospect that the fire
and police board muddle will be ami
cably settled in this city, as suggested
by Governor Holcombe at the very in
ception of the trouble.
The injunction case decided yester-
day settled none of the issues involved,
and in passing upon the petition for
an injunction the judge intimated that
the proper procedure would be for the
claimants under the Churchill Russell
appointment to bring quo warranto
proceedings against the old board. The
present incumbents have always claim
ed that they were ready and anxious to
join issues on the right to the Office in
legal proceeding. While no agree
ment to this effect has yet been arrived
at, one possibly may be reached within
twenty -four hours.
Another story which is given Gre
dence in many quarters is that the A.
P. A. board will meet tomorrow, ap-
point police force and demand pos
session of the Office and books, and. if
refused, to attempt to take possession
by force. The present police force is
prepared to resist any attempt of this
kind. In case the newly appointed
police force cannot obtain possession
of the city Jail, it counts upon securing
recognition from the police judge and
setting up little Jail of its own. 1t is
more likely, however, that the pro-
posal for a settlement will be adopted.

San Miguel, Cal, August 13.-Dep-
uty Sheriff Nesbitt has taken Tom
Coughlin to San Luis Obispo. Cough
lin acknowledged that he killed his
partner, Charles Milan, whose body
was found partially cremated near
Cholame. Coughlin refuses to make
any further statement or give any par-
ticulars of the killing. The coroner
found that Milan had been shot
through the head and the skull had
been smashed. The face was charred
beyond recognition, both legs entirely
burned, and the heart and entrails ex-.
posed. Coughlin is quiet and gentle
manly in his demeanor, and does not
look like a man who would commit
such crime. The murdered man
was known as English Charley" and
he and Coughlin were partners in
chicken ranch near Cholame.

Mexico Does Not Like an Alleged In

Mexico Does Not Like an Alleged In
terview With Minister Ransom.
City of Mexico, August 13.-Much
interest is felt here regarding the truth
of the alleged interview with United
States Minister Ransom telegraphed
from Washington to the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat, in which Ransom is
quoted as saying that the new extradi-
tion treaty will be required in order to
prevent embezzlers from the United
States escaping extradition by using
money among Mexican authorities. If
Ransom is correctly reported, he will
probably be regarded here as persona
non grata," the alleged utterance be-
ing direct attack on the highest func-
tionaries, for whom, while here, Ran
som expressed highest esteem. 1t is
believed here that the minister was
misrepresented. Mr.. Gray, just be-
fore his death, was reported by all
American journals as declaring that
Guatemala was right in her contention
with Mexico, an utterance that natur-
ally gave offense here, but Gray died
before there was opportunity for an ex-
PLANTATION.
Great apprehension is felt in all the
west coast ports regarding the contin-
ued ravages of yellow fever in Central
American seaports. ALI vessels recently
arriving from Central America have
been treated as suspicious, principally
those from Acajutla and Ocos.
The American Security Company, Of
New York, has opened branch here,
according to the terms of liberal
charter recently granted. The COM
pany will insure government employees
and government bonds for contractors,
besides doing private business.
Due cause has been found for hold
ing Landsbort, the alleged lover of
Emma Thorn, the manner of whose
death is in dispute.
Two persons Of the twenty-five in
jured in the Tehauntepec railway acci-
dent have died. The road is new, and
the track not altogether in good condi-
tiOn.

THE OREGON PENITENTIARY.
Improvements That Superintendent Gil
bert Thinks Should Be Made.

Improvements L hdt oAA-
bert Thinks Should Be Made.
Salem, Or, August 12.-Superin-
tendent A. N. Gilbert, of the state peni-
tentiary, has been credited with saying
that the prison was in very bad con-
dition. Today he was seen and showed
your correspondent over the peniten-
tiary. In making the rounds of the
institution he called attention to the
repairs and changes he considered nee
essary; to wooden window panes; to
worn and rickety steps and stairways;
to old and unsightly walks; to the
newly-built fume that was contrasted
with the old, which, Mr.. Gilbert said,
had rotted from allowing dirt to bank
up against the timbers;-to an old
tumble-down shed that covered the
pump engine; to the unkempt condi-
tion of the engine; to the neglected
appearance of everything in the me-
chanical departement. In the kitchen,
Mr.. Gilbert said: "This is, sircply
terrible. 1t is the most rotten, dirty
arrangement ever saw for state in
stitution. This kitchen is in the base
ment, under the chapel, the center of
the building, and steam and odors find
their way to every CELL"
"What changes would you suggest in
the arrangement Of the kitchen?" was
asked the superintendent.
"There should be another ell to the
building for a kitchen and dining
room for the convicts. This would do
away with feeding convicts in the cell,
and the nausea Of a kitchen under the
chapel"
In the hospital the superintendent
pointed out leaks in the walls and roof.
"And this window frame corresponds
with the general dilapidation, he
said, as he pulled off piece of timber
from the frame, exposing deserted
bumble-bee's nest. The superintend-
en- thinks a new heating system is
needed, and that the grounds should
be properly drained.
In answer to what course he would
pursue in the management of the in
stitutiion, Superintendent Gilbert said
he would either have to make a deficit,
or curtail other expenses. The latter,
he explained, was being done by sup.
plying about half the discharged con.
victs with the suits they bring, instead
of purchasing new ones at SIS each
and by saving the S. heretofore given
released convicts.
