Serious State OF Affairs at Bsnes, an I'm
portant Fruit Port.


BOSTON, Sept 1S.-The British steamer
Taft, just in at this port from Cuba, Sept
10, brings news of a serious state of affairs
at Banes, the most important fruit port
on the northern coast The Taft reports
that Banes has been evacuated by the
Spaniards, after feeble resistance, that
the entire northern section of the island
is now i'm the hands Of the insurgents, and
Gibarn itself, which is one of the strongest
and best fortified cities on the coast, is in
a pcrilous position, although the Spaniards
have between 1000 and 5000 soldiers at
this point and two men of war in the
harbor
The officers Of the Taft say that the
whole country is up i'm arms and that every
body favors the rebels. Only boys were
left in the port of Banes to load and un-
load the vessels The rest of the male
population had joined the rebel ranks.
There was rumor at Banes and Gibara
when the Taft left those places, the Brazil
ian rebel Admiral Mcllo was expected any
day with a war vessel and 500 men to aid
the insurgents, and one of the officers of
the Taft who saw Mcllo lombard Rio say
that there is evidently some good ground
for the rumor, and he further says that
Mello can whip the Spanish gunboats with
even an ordinary man-of-war.

ONE by one the prominent figures in the
war of the rebellion drop from public gaze so
that but very few are now left. General
schoGeld is the last of the generals who were
prominent, and the time has come when, by
reason of age, he lays down the responsible
ties of the command of the army to spend
the evening of life in that quiet repose he
has well earned. His successor General
Miles, was one of that galaxy Of brilliant
young officers who, because of theirpersonal
yalor and gallauty were held in high
esteem. He has the distinction also of being

In a recent letter to the manufacturers Mr..
w. f. Benjamin, editor of the Spectator
Rushford, n. Y, says: 1T may be pleas
ure to you to know the high esteem in which
Chamberlain's medicines are held by the
people of your own state, where they must
be best known. An aunt of mine, who re-
sides at Dexter, Iowa. was about to visit me
few years SINCE and before leaving home
wrote me, asking if they were sold here
stating if they were not she would bring a
quantity with her, as she did not like to be
without them" The medicines referred to
are Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, famous
for its cures of colds and Group Chamber
lain's Pain Balm for rheumatism, lame back,
pains in the side and chest and Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
for bowel complaints. These medicines have
been in constant use in Iowa for almost a
quarter of century. The people have
learned that they are articles of great worth
and merit, and unequaled by any other

THE GOLD MOVEMENT.
Tho Talk of an Early Bond Issue Has
Practically Died out.

IfhtNlNhiil hfANh Ohbs
WASHINGTON, Sept 1S--Reports to the
treasury department show that S250,000 in
gold was Withdrawn yesterday from the
sub treasury at New York for export, and
that S25O,OOO in gold was deposited by a
Rochester, n. Y, bank which offsets the
Withdrawals, leaving the true amount of
the reserve at the close of business $685.
BS2 52S
Under normal conditions the treasury
gains some gold nearly every day, as banks
in all of the sub treasury cities prefer to
exchange for notes any small amounts of
gold they may take in over their counters,
especially if their coin reserve is in no
need Of replenishing. During the last few
weeks the aggregate of these deposits has
been considerable. Several offers of small
amounts have been made lately with the
stipulation that the department pay ex-
pressage both ways, but as there is no APP
propriation for the purpose these offers
have been declined
1t is said at the department that the
most generous offers Of gold nearly always
come from the banks in Chicago and st.
Louis, and W hen gold is the sCarcest these
banks always come forward and express a
willingness to help out. At New York
yesterday S486 900 in large United States
notes were depositedin exchange for small
notes to be shipped to a number of points
cast, south and west.
The talk of an early bond issue has died
out here, the opinion among officials be
ing that while President Cleveland will
protect the national credit when in dan
| ger by any metGs within his power, the
present situation is n ct such as to call fol
any action on his part

THE statement by President Spalding of
the Board of Health that diptheria is not
prevalent in the town and that the number
of cases under treatment is not anywhere
near the mark some people suppose is an
official announcement that is very gratifying
to the public. Epidemics of diseases result
in great misfortunes to the people at large as
well as those actually afflicted and our people
should rejoice that we are free from them.

NoRRIsTowN, Pa. Sept 1S.-E. Chan
ming Potts, the well known ex-marble
merchant and present proprietor of Cedar
Grove park, was shot at his home, and his
escape with his life was miraculous. Mr..
Potts for number of years has been a
widower, and since the loss of his wife, it
is alleged, paid considerable attention to
Miss Mary Freas, an attractive young
lady Of % years, residing at Whitemarsh.
The relations between Mr.. Potts and Miss
Freas, however became strained. She met
Mr.. Potts on the street, and their inter
view must have been a stormy one, for
suddenly Miss Freas pulled a short %
caliber revolver, and, aiming it at Potts,
fired the five charges directly at him. Two
of the bullets made burrows in Mr.. Potts
neck and a third one ploughed through
the scalp, The wounds are not considered
dangerous

IRREsrEcTIyE Of the merits of claims made
by any of the parties to the Coal street shoot
ing, it has been demonstrated that many
young men have been in the habit of inter
feriug on the streets late at night with in
offensive Poles, Lithuanians and Hungarians
for no other object than to pick quarrel 1t
is hoped the result of the case will have the
effect of breaking up the practice. There may
be lots of consolation for some peculiarly CON
sttuted people in beating inoflensiye men
'iust for the fun of the thing, but to be shot
is relished by none, especially by an innocent
party, as McHale claims he was, Two morals
are furnished First mind your own business
and, second, when you seea midnight bnwl
going ON keep beyond the range of pistol
shots

WOULD-BE LYNCHERS SHOT.
A Mob of Seventy five storm Kentucky
Jail.

MEMPHIS, Sept. 1s.-A mob of seventy
five men made an unsuccessful attempt to
lynch Harrison Fuller and Frank Simp-
son, two negroes confined in the Hender-
son county Jail at Lexington, for attempt
ing to outrage the Widow Pomery and
her 16yearold daughter, on the night Of
July II. The negroes were captured
shortly after the crime, and to avert mob
violence they were sent to Nashville, where
they remained up to last week, when they
were brought to Lexington for trial. A
continuance of the case was granted by
Judge Taylor, and Fuller and Simpson
were returned to Jail.
Between midnight and daylight the
mob went to the Jail, broke open the two
outer doors, and on reaching the cell of
the negroes the crowd was fired upon by
the sheriff and his deputies seriously
wounding Hugh Cook, and slightly
wounding men named Jones and Joiner.
The wounding of these three men caused
the mob to disband. Excitement in Lex
ington is intense, and serious trouble is
anticipated.

State Verging Upon Anarchy.


LONDON, Sept. 1S-Privatc letters which
have been received from the Congo Free
StgSS say that affairs there are in Il condi-
ton verging upon anarchy. Encounters
between Belgian forces and natives which
have been represented in official dispatches
as resulting in Belgian Victories are said
to have been i'm fact serious reverses.
1t is reported that two Englishmen trav-
cling in the Congo Free State have been
murdered and eaten by natives. A Bel
gian expedition, under Lieutenant Fran
quir, was attacked by natives on Feb IL.
The soldiers hastily formed themselves
into hollow square, upon which the ma
tives rushed with such overwhelming force
that the Belgians were put to rout within
ten minutes.
Shortly afterwards it became known,
according to the correspondence alluded
TO, that native chief named Ndormu had
massacrcd Captain Hanscns and the whole
of his escort, numbering sixty people.

in the case of David Adams, who died
some time ago in the Dunning insane

ALEXANDRIA, Ind, Sept. 1S.-The Amer
lean Plate Glass works of this city caught
fire at o'clock last night, and the main
building, 900 feet long, was consumed.
The fire originated from the igniting of
escaping gas from defective pipe in the
casting room. The plant was reorganized
thirty days ago with capital of 81 100000.
1t was the largest of the kind in the world.
Last week the works were started with $50
men, and it was the intention of putting
on full force next Monday. This meant
employment to about 500 workmen.
