The editor OF The Rural New Yorker
Is experimenting with the new bottled
bacteria of leguminous plants. He Sc
cured bottle OF the special bacteria OF
red clover, and the plan is towork
poor. sandy field well and add q good
dressing Of basic Stag and kainit. The
clover seed will then be soaked In IA so
luton of the nitrogen and sowed IN the
usual manner. The theory is that these
bacteria will at once begin their work
on the clover plants and enable them to
absorb nitrogen from the air. II this is
really happens. suoh seed ought to
produce a good crop without any nj
trogenous fertilizer. 10 is an interesting
experiment, and will be watched with
interest

Brings a Million Dollars Worth of Klon-
dixie Gold-Danger e"f Famine in the
Fields.
San Francisco, September 15.-The
Alaska Commercial Company's steamer
Excelsior, which sailed from st. Mich
aels, Alaska, on August IA last, but
was compelled to put into Unalaska
for repairs on account of an accident
to her propeller while at sea, arrived
in port to-day with 60 passengers and
about million dollars worth of treas
ure.
1t was at first reported that she
brought down two and a half million
dollars worth of gold dust, but this
proved upon investigation to have been
greatly exaggerated.
All unite in confirming the stories
already told of the impending danger
of famine at Dawson City during the
coming winter; they say there are at
least seven thousand people now at
Dawson City and that more are swarm
ing in every day, but the provisions are
already running short and the prospects
of getting more are remote. The Ex-
celsior's passengers are unanimous in
the opinion that the Klondike region
is richer than was at first supposed,
but are also of the opinion that unless
the immigration to that country is
stopped temporarily there will be ter
rible suffering.

INTERN ECINE WAR
In the Camp of the Maryland Repub.
hcans Renders Their Chances in
the Election Doubtful.

Baltimore, Md, September 1.-THE
Republican State Convention, ad-
journed from Ocean City from August
l6 reassembled at Raines' Hall, this
city, to-day, for the purpose of COM
pleting the work begun at the pre-
vious session. In the interim many
things have happened that may mate
rally alter the political situation in
Maryland and render the outcome OF
the elections in November more
doubtful than ever. :
senator Wellington, formerly head
of the Republican machine, has been
deposed, after bitter factional fight,
the colored element, which composes
more than a third of the Republican
voting strength in the State, has be-
come disaffected and threaten to bolt
the Republican party in body, and
unless the present convention strikes
discordant elements, the Republicans
are likely to go into the campaign
with a hot internecine war on their
hands.
The convention nominated by accla-
nation Philip |. Goldsborough for
Comptroller and Gen. Allen Ruth
erford for Clerk of the Court Of APP
peals.
State Senator Norman B. Scott was
elected chairman to succeed United
States Senator Wellington, who, it is
understood, will take no part in the
coming campaign.

Andrews were in the upper tier. Levi,
Jenkins and Shutter showed fight,
and the former was shot through the
breast, while the skulls of the two
latter were crushed with stool.
Ropes were in readiness, and. adjust
ing a moose around the neck of each,
their feet and hands were pinioned,
and then the march began.
They were not carried, but, with
several men at the end Of each rope,
the five prisoners were dragged a
distance of 200 feet to an elm tree,
where their bodies were suspended.
1t is said Levi, Jenkins and Shutter
were dead before they reached the
place, death resulting from hanging
in the case of Gordon and Andrews.
Justice of the Peace Charles Loswell
held an inquest over the five bodies
this morning.
None of the citizens seem to deplore
the action Of the mob, but, on the
contrary, the hanging of three or
four members of the gang tonight
is being talked of, and it may be
done. No troops have been asked
for and the citizens say they are not
wanted.

Jackson Miss, September 15-The
State Capitol depopulated; business
houses closed; newspapers suspended;
seven cases of yellow fever officially
announced, with many suspected cases
at various points; an embargo on the
railroads, and grave apprehension
that the dread disease has obtained
a foothold in numerous parts of the
State; wild alarm everywhere: such
is the condition existing in the mid
die western and northern portions Of
Mississippi to-day.
The worst fears have been realized
and the prevailing disease at Edwards
has been pronounced yellow fever
The State Board of Health has laid
a general embargo on travel. The ex-
odus from this city has attained I'M
precedented proportions. While the
State Board advises all who can to
leave. the railroads say they can han
die the largest crowds. The most
rigid local quarantine prevails

Hazleton, Pa, September 15.-The
work of collecting evidence for the
inquest is already being prosecuted by
the strikers representatives and others,
including the coroner. DR.. Thoder-
ovich, secretary of the Austro-Hun-
gariam consulate, of Philadelphia, WIS.,
tied the hospital and took the state
ments of the injured. He asked one Of
the wounded Hungarians if the mob
ran when the deputies commenced to
fire.
Ran like the mischief was the re-
ply.
DR.. Thoderovich was asked whether
he had read Sheriff Martins statement
that two Of the strikers had revolvers
and threatened the sheriff's life.
Not speaking in my official capac-
ity." said DR.. Thoderovich, Il will say

were about to start for Harwood some
of them carried canes. The leaders
told these men that they must throw
these canes away and this order was
strictly complied with
When DR.. Thoderovich visited the
wounded victims in the city hospital
to find out their nationality, two claim
ed to be Germans They are Martin
Sofrauek and Joseph Pavlacsek. 1t is
possible that the German government
also will claim damages from the
United States.
Among others who will testify al the
coroneI's inquest will be Miss Coyle,
the assistant school teacher at the Lat
timer school house, who saw a deputy
shoot one of the mob on Friday, and
as he fell saw him shoot again
A rather peculiar incident OF the ar
fray has come TO light in the state
ment Of Charles Kennedy and Marie
McCarron, who say that the conductors
of trolley cars passing the scene re-
fused to take any OF the dead and
wounded to Hazleton unless fare. was
paid. The former is said TO have paid

Pittsburg, Pa, September 15.-The
coal miners strike, as far as the
Pittsburg district is concerned, is off,
and the $4,000 diggers will resume
work tomorrow at the 65-cent rate.
The decision to ignore the ten days
clause was arrived at late this after
noon by a delegate convention of min
ers representing the entire district
There were only four dissenting
voices.
The resolutions committee present
ed a series of resolutions which were
adopted unanimously. They empower
the scale committee to meet similar
committee of the operators and set
tie the wages of the dead work and
day work for pick and machine min
ing until January l, 1898; require that
all mines that do not weigh the coal
before screening shall cease work I'M
til the same be complied with on and
after October /, 1897; recognize the
necessity of organization and deter
mine to continue the camps at De
Armbitts'S, Shocks and other mines
where the scale price is refused. Each
miner is to be assessed five per cent
of all money earned to support said
camps. The uniformity agreement
was Endorsed and the organization
pledged to further it's adoption By
every legitimate means possible.
The part of the proceedings which
had the most interest for the dele
gates was the resolution presented by
the committee permitting the men to
return to work at once. 1t was ex-
pected that District President Patrick
Dolan would make an address and an
explanation Of the course pursued at
the Columbus convention. 1t was
late in the afternoon, while the con-
vention was wrangling over the reso-
luton to go to work at once, that he
did make it. Every word he said
was we'll weighed and listened to at
tentively by the delegates.

Parkersburg. W. Va, September Is.
A sensational suit for divorce and
the custody Of the two children was
filed in the Circuit Court to-day by
Mrs. Harriet Glover against Charles
n. Glover, wealthy and well known
citizen.
In her bill Mrs. Glover states that
they were married ten years ago, and
lived happily together until about
year ago, when. she alleges. her hus-
band became infatuated with woman
by the name of May Hickman, whom
he took TO theatres and other places,
the Hickman woman telling the people
she worked for that he was single.
In 1896 he went to Clarksburg, the
Hickman woman going at the same
time, and they. returning together
about nine weeks afterwards.
Since then, she alleges, the Hick-
man woman has rented rooms at Mari
eta, and she has reason to believe that
her husband keeps and supports her.
making weekly trips to Marietta, some
times remaining away all night.
She prays for a divorce and that
her husband be enjoined from dispos-
ing of his property, and that he be
compelled to pay her temporary all
mony during the pending of the cult.
An injunction was granted by Judge
Tavenner. Glover was arrested at
Marietta by Marshal Dye Sunday night.
for unlawful cohabitation with the
Hickman woman.

Hazelton, Pa, September ia
calm pervades Hazelton and its envl-
rons to-day and no disturbances were
reported. The strikers maintain 81
lence and good order, but the militia
is not satisfied that they are not medl-
tating vengeance for the shooting OF
last Friday.
An evidence of this was offered to-
day when an extra guard was placed
about the company stores at Lattimer.
The reason for this was a story that the
foreigners were plotting to blow up the
building with dynamite. They have
ceased dealing there, and are now buy
ing their provender in Hazelton. Some
are going so far as to move into town
and several carloads Of poor household
goods were travelling over the Lattlmer
road to-day. Large groups OF the MIN
ers are constantly lowering about the
stores.
ARRANGEMENTS are under way for
monster mass meeting here on Satur-
day night, and it is understood that
efforts are being made to bring Eu-
gene V. Debs and other prominent
labor men here to address it. All the
miners in the middle coal field Will
be asked to attend, and it is estima-
ted that $4,000 miners will be present.
Gen. Goblin had heard nothing OF the
proposed meeting and said he would
treat with the emergency when it arose.
Another story of the day was that
VIM. J. Bryan had been secured as
counsel for the prosecution of Sheriff
Martin and the deputies.
The strike conditions were not ma
terially changed to-day. None Of the
indictments manifested any DISPOSE
ton to return to work and few more
Joined their ranks. These were from
the Audenried washeries, about one
hundred in number, so far as can be
learned. No plans are under consid-
Grafton by the strikers looking TO a
resumption.
Rumors and reports of more or less
value continue to agitate brigade head
quarters and the various camps. What
was set down as a startling dynamite
plot came to the usual lame and i'm
potent conclusion to-day. 1t flashed in

gave the information that a quantity
of the explosive had been secreted by
the miners there. Two deputies armed
with search warrants and guarded by
a detail of cavalry went over and made
thorough search of eight houses with
out discovering anything.
The funeral of Clemeno Paltrock, an
other victim of the shooting, occurred
in Cranberry to-day.
The entire village was wrapped in an
atmosphere of gloom. Audenreid
drum corps led the line Of march with
the Synourl Polish Society following
two carriages containing mourners and
about seven hundred miners in line of
march. Services were held at the Pol
ish Church by Rev. DR.. Aust, and in
terment followed in the church GEM
etery.
Word reached here to-day that a
mass meeting of Hungarian societies
will be held in, New York tomorrow
night to consider the situation.
