A Tacoma Minister Severely Scared

Officials.
There VIII Be Representatives From all
the States at the Gold Conyention-The
Socialist Congress Adjourned-An
Old River Captain Dies

CLEVELAND, Aug. "A startling
piece of news in connection with the
Brown strike, which comes from an
| apparently reliable source, is To the
effect that the stlikers are armine
| themselves and drilling. 1t was said
today that 40 of the strikers had organ
lied company last Saturday, elected
captain and purchased revolvers.
The company drilled Saturday even-
ing, and 1t was announced that the
purpose of the men was to avenge the
death Of the two who were shot at diff
ferent times in conflicts between union
and nonunion men.
James O'Ccnnell. the head of the
machinists' union, who was here In
charge of the strike. and who helped
to bring about the settlement under
which the men returned to work, came
back to Cleveland today. He was very
much chagrined to learn that the men
that he believed the company had en-
tered into the agreement with the
men in good faith, and he was satisfied
the company intended TO live up to its
agreement in every respect.

duty al the works tonight. and large
force of police will be on hand in the

WILL WITH A TIME LOCK.
Odd Testsmentary Freak of an Eccentric
Polish Land Owner.


Polish Land Owner.
The contents of most eccentric will,
left by NJ. Zalesky, a rich Polish landed
proprietor, who died in the province Of
Taurida in March, 1889, were recently
published, says the London Telegraph.
The property left by the deceased
was valued at seventy-hve thousand
dollars, and his will was inclosed in an
envelope bearing the words: ''To be
opened after my DEATH" On this en-
velope being opened, the executor
found sealed envelope, on which was
written: ITO be opened six weeks
after my death" The stipulated time
having elapsed, the second envelope
was opened and third was found
with the words: ITO be opened a year
after my death" At the end of the
year a fourth envelope was discovered
which was to be opened two years after
the death of the deceased.
This continued for five years, and
when, at length, ia 1894, the actual will
was read, it was found to be as eccen-
trio in its dispositions as in the direc-
tions attaching to it's opening. The
testator bequeathed half of his fortune
to such one of his heirs as has the
greatest number of children. The rest
of mis- money he directed to be placed
in bank, and at the end of one hun
dred years, distributed, with the acz
cumulated interest, among the de-
scendants Of the testator.

have taken proceedings to test
legality of the will, on the ground at

Walia Walla Grain.

WALLA WALLA, Wash, Aug. l.
Harvest is now in full blast, and mLny
farmers have loaded and threshed
their grain. The general result shows
that the damage from hot winds was
not as great as was believed few
weeks ago. Along the foothills and
around the city fall grain is yielding
heavily, while spring grain is fair.
On Eureka fiat the grain is fair, and
the farmers will come out much better
financially than they expected. Around
the foothills wheat is averaging so
bushels to the acre, and barley 80
bushels. On the fat wheat will aver
age 20 bushels.
In the Waitsburg section the show
ing grows better, and the average
yield will be about 40 bushels to the
acre. Taking the entire county, fall
wheat will be fair crop, and spring
wheat has been damaged about 20 per

of the Paris congress of 1889, including
those in support of eight hours for a

1899, but in what particular city is not
decided upon. The session ended with
the singing of "Auld Lang Syne,"
THE Marseillaise, and "Carmag-
nole." and with cheers for the socia-
list revolution.

here tonight, on the condition of mum

the city officials, from the mayor down,
for their neglect to enforce laws, and
blamed them for the recent ballot
robbery. The speaker said:
''We have nsd three years of awful
examples, and unpunished criminals
are walking the streets. Go down to
the officials and be laughed ut for your
pains. The mayor. the municipal
Judge, the attorneys, who are sworn
to protect the laws, will do nothing TO
help you. This siege of crime has cul-

has burst on the community like

ELECTION IN ALABAMA.
The state Carried by the Csual Demo-
cratic Majority.

| Ine state carried the Usual Demo
| cratic Majority.
| MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. 3.-The
size of the democratic majority seems
ali that remains in doubt, with regard
| to the result of today's election. Be-
cause of the slow counting under the
new ballot law, returns are necessarily
slow in coming in, but there is no
doubt of a complete democratic victory.
Incomplete retnrns from about half
the counties so far received indicate
democratic gains in all but Mobile and
Macon. In the former, the democrats
appear to have lost some 500 votes by
stay-at homes, but the county is still
in the democratic column by 800 ma.
jority. In Macon county, which gave
Oates majority of 800 in 1874, tile
result is close and doubtful,
The populists, on the other hand,
have carried Tuscaloosa county by
1000 majority. 1t gave Kolb 200 ma.
jority two years ago. Marshall county,
which went for Kolb by 600, is close,
and probably democratic. Lee county,
which had populist majority of 500,
is like Marshall. Chambers county,
with 400 majority for Kolb In 1894, is
in the d6mocratio column. Tallapoosa
county, with 800 majority for Kolb at
the last election, is close, and may be
democratic. Fayette, another -popu'
list county, is in the doubtful column,
as are also CoOaa and Dekalb.
In the counties which Governor
Oates carried two years ago, there
have been increased majorities in all
SO far heard from. except two.
