LOCAL INDUSTRIAL NOTES.
The Demand for Laboris Great and Growing A Railroad Man on the Subject.
 New Mine.

Labor in this district is at a premium at present, as not enough men can be had to do work that is required in the mining and quarry business.
 During the past three weeks upwards of 1000 men have been brought here from foreign points and still there are more needed. This is due largely to the in- creased demand for coal, iron ore and rock
 Numbers of mines have resumed or- eration and new ones are being opened, while the same is true in among the quarries.
 Yesterday Mir. J. R. McGregor said to an Age-Herald reporter: q am filling or ders for men almost every day, and 1t seems that I can't get enough. If l had them I could use several hundred now. You know how I have been bringing them in here for the past month, and l have agents out after more now. Labor CTS here are scarce and we have to bring them from distance. So you can read fly see what is being done"

SOUTHERN AND sEABOARD.
Old Story Revamped and Just as Promptly
 Denied

New York, July 3.-The Morning Jour- nal says: Reports from Baltimore yes- terday had it that the Southern railroad had laid its plans for the absorption of the Seaboard Air Line. The reports in this city were met with the statement from Charles H. Caster, chairman of the Richmond Terminal reorganization com mittee, to the effect that he knew noth- ing of them. Generally the report is not believed.
 Such a move on the part of the South ern railway just now would give it prac- tically a monopoly of the southeastern trade, especially the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida, where the Seaboard Air Line is it's only dangerous competitor.
 The laws of Georgia would be perhaps the greatest stumbling block in the way ,of such a move, as once before, when the Southern, then known as the Richmond Terminal. scooped every road in the state, it was compelled by one, the Vest ern and Atlantic, to allow competition provided for by statute.

Work on the Montgomery and PrattWe--A
 Hitch as to Right of Way.

Work on the Montgomery and Pratt vile railroad has been stopped tempo rarily on account of some hitch in secur- ing right of way near Prattville. This, however, promises to be obviated, and the work will be resumed shortly. The line taps the Louisville and Nashville line just below Coosada, about fifteen miles above Montgomery. Grading has been finished for five miles or more out from the Louisville and Nashville main line; also about four miles out from the Prattville terminus. There remains a gap of about three miles yet to be graded. It is expected to have the track done and trains running within the next nine ty days.

 for Dallas.
 Austin, Tex, July Estate Comptroller Finley yesterday gave the projectors of the CorbettF Fitzsimmons contest at Dal- las a set back In letter to the tax col lector of Dallas he says:
 After careful examination and consd- eration of the question presented I have rec ched the conclusion that while the act of 1889 provided for an occupation tax of $500 for every fight between man and man. the legislature of this state has, by subsequent enactment. made it unlawful for any person to voluntarily engage in a pugilistic encounter for money; that the effect of said act was to repeal so much of the act of 1889 as permitted an occupa- tion tax to be charged for fights between man and man has been decided by our court of criminal appeals. You are, therefore. respectfully advised that this department will not legalize the proposed pugilistic encounter in this issuance of license therefor, or by authorizing you, as tax collector of Dallas county, to re- ceive any sum of money from any per- son as license tax for such performance. when the same is manifestly unlawful. and has been so expressly declared by the people of Texas through their legisla ture."

Declined to Reduce Fruit Rates.

Atlanta, Ga., July 3.-The railroads de- cline to make any reduction in the rates on peaches shipped in refrigerator cars, and the Fruit Growers association of Georgia announces that it will appeal to the interstate commerce commission. The fruit growers made case last week before the Georgia railroad commission, and the case was argued before that body. It, however had no authority to enforce any ruling on interstate business, and all it could do was to make recom- mendation that the rates be reduced. The railroad men said that they could not afford to give the fruit dealers less rates than they were charging.

False Statements and Misrepresenta
 tions.

Corruption does not exist in politics alone. The time was when people were shocked to hear that such conditions pre- vailed in politics, but worse than all else is the fact that this evil should be carried into the drug business and the sick be made to suffer in consequence thereof. For vari- ous reasons dealers allow themselves to be persuaded to stock up medicines Of all sorts to be sold to the sick on the repre- sentation that they are just the same as Simmons Liver Regulators greater out rage has not been perpetrated upon the people. This has been the experience of many who have been duped by these false statements. Take only The Old Friend, Simmons Liver Regulator. with the Red z on every package, and you'll get the medi- cine that did the old folks so much good in bygone days. It has been kept up as their inheritance to the present generation.

ECUADOR'S TROUBLES.
Believed by State Officials at Wash
ington that the Situation
is Serious.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 16.-The i'm
preston prevails in both state and navy
departments that the revolution in Ecua-
dor will be quite a serious affair before
the internal troubles there are settled.
No adyices have been received concerning
recent engagements. The state depart
ment has received from Minister Tillman
at Quito dispatch dated July 20 which
shows what the situation was at that
time. In it Minister Tillman says that
there are no indications of an cary settle-
ment of the complicated political condi-
tons of that country.
Alfaro, who reached Guayaquil on the
18th or 10Th of June was still there with
an armed force amounting, as claimed by
bis friends, to 1000 or 5000 men. The
government force at Quito was estimated
at 2000, which it was thought might be
increased to 1000. Alfaro's pans and his
strength were not definitely known at
Quito when Mr.. Tillman wrote, but he
says that it was admitted on all sides that
his advance to the capital, a few weeks
before would have been easy.
Colon, Colombia, Aug. 16.-The Pana-
ma Railroad company today conveyed 10
Panama a detachment of 400 soldiers,
which had arrived here from Carthagena,
in order to strengthen the garrison Of
Panama. Precautions continue to be
taken with reference to the southern
neighbor of the United States of Colon
bia, the republic of Ecuador.

Prominent Broker Charged with
Poisoning Women to Get

ST. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 15.-The body of
Nancy Leathe, a negress, sister and heir
of Priscilla Henry, another negress,
whose bagnio has been for years the
most notorious in the city of st. Louis,
was exhumed by order Of the coroner
today and the viscera taken out for
chemical examination. In the mean
time Thomas r. Howard, q descendant
of the English family of that name
and a broker of thirty years standing,
who has been the paramount of the Hen
ry woman and has had charge of her at
fairs, is under arrest, pending the result
of the investigation.
charged jointly with Florence Williams,
cook in the Henry woman's louise, with
attempting to fraudulently transfer to
himself (the Williams woman personal
ing the Henry woman) SO, 900 worth OF
the 100000 worth of real estate accu-
mulated by the Henry woman during a
career of shame of many years. Bond
was given and Howard was released,
but the Williams woman was held in jail.
The Henry woman had been i'll, but
improved during Howard's brief incar-
ceratiOn. This chain of circumstances
led to a suspicion that Howard was slow
ly poisoning her and that he had also
poisoned her sister, who died some weeks
ago. The coroner seized lot of medi-
cine which Howard had been administer
had been given by him to the Leathe
woman before her death. These medi-
cines are being chemically examined and
a report on them is expected shortly.
In the meantime Howard was rearreSt-
ed and is still held

together, have suggested to the government

being considered by the Sultan. and l am

The speech concludes with reference
to the Incorporation of the Bechuana-
land into Cape Colony.
The speech to the Commons merely
says that the estimates for the service
of the year which were not voted at
the last session will be laid before them.
The second portion of the speech says:
My Lords and Gentlemen: At this season
of the year it will probably be found more
convenient to defer to another session the
consideration of any important legislative

SCALE OF MINERS WAGES.
Braastad of Ishpeming, Submits His
PropoSition-No Action
Taken,

Negaunee, Mich, Aug. 15.-[Special.l-
r. Brastad, operator of the Winthrop
mine, this morning submitted the proposed
new scale of wages to his men. The aver
age pay for miners will be $3.50 per day,
trammers will be paid $1.45, surface la
borers 81. %, engineers and fremen $1.6o
and brakemen 81 .45. The increase over
former wages is from 10 to % per cent.
Brastad is the only mine operator at
Ishpeming who has yet made known the
new scale. 1t is not positively known
that the proposed scale of the other COM
panies will correspond with that SUBJ
mitted by Mr.. Brastad but is generally
thought it will.
Iron Mountain, Mich, Aug 15.-[Spe-
cial. THE strike at the Badger mine at
Florence has no new features. Neither
side has made advances and General
Manager Davidson says the company
will make none. If the men return,
which now seems probable mining will
be resumed, otherwise the mine will be
closed until spring. 1t is said that the
men have been misinformed by agitators
as to wages paid elsewhere and now re-
greet their hasty action The Badger
is a low grade, high phosphorus mine
and it has been a constant struggle to
make both ends meet 1t can close for
months without danger from water or
caving.

Orders to Stop the Pumps at lS1-

Complaining.

Ishpeming, Mich, Aug. 16-[Speciall
The mine agents today announce that
the general officials of the different COM
panies have concluded to pull the pumps
and allow the workings to fill with water
unless the men decide to return to work
within the next few days. Definite in
structions as to the time when the fires
will be pulled from under the boilers are
expected from headquarters today or to-
morrow. The local managers will begin
preparing for the stopping of the pumps
today.
The business men of both cities are
now beginning to squeal. They realize
that the time has come when they must
prepare for the worst. They are being
crowded by the wholesalers and their
stocks are getting low. A meeting of
the merchants has been called for to-
morrow morning for the purpose of tax
ing steps against the disaster which is
bound to follow in case they continue to
sell their goods on the credit plan.
Iron Mountain. Mich, Aug. 16.-[Spe-
cial. IA number of strikers at the Bad
ger mine returned to work last night.
The remainder will return, and trouble
is at an end. No concessions were
made by the company.
