March Of the G. A. r.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 25-A heavy
mist lowered over Camp Jewett early
this morning but the sun soon broke
through the clouds and gave promiDe
of brilliant day. The posts OF the va
rious departments were early on the
march. The music and the tramp OF
the marching feet brought cheering
crowds as they passed and the hum OF
expectancy grew into roar of excite
ment as the time for the moving of the
procession grew nearer. At 10 O'Clock
President Mckinley left the Niagara
Hotel accompanied by his escort. Along
the way to the point of formation the
President was cheered to the echo. at
1890 o'clock the command to march
was given and the procession moved.
To the roll of innumerable drums and
the blare of trumpets the Grand Army
of the Republic, headed by the Presi-
dent of the United States, took its way
through sea of cheering humanity.
Against the strong wires stretched along
the route of march the people crowded
each other until the wires bulged be-
meath the pressure. The sidewalks on
each side of Main street, as far as the
eye could reach, were filed with a solid
mass of people, packed in 80 tightly
that to move was almost out OF the
question. From every window faces
beamed out and the roofs had apopula.
ton equal, il not greater than that OF
the windows.

Tried to Sacrifice his Boy.

WOOSTER, Ohio, Aug. 25.-.Samuel
Hostettler, q young farmer residing
near here, while laboring under reli-
gious excitement, attempted to offer
up his young son as q sacrifice last
evening. He carried the boy into the
rear yard and gathered large quantity
of wood. The boy helped his father get
the wood, and was in high glee over
the pleasure he expected to get out of
bonfire. The young wife came to the
rear door of the house and watched the
preparations curiously for moment
She did not anticipate the intention OF
her husband until after the pile was in
readiness to light and Hostettler drew
a razor from his pocket and called the
child to him. Realizing the fate in store
for her child, she rushed toward her
husband crying for an explanation. He
told her that be had been directed by
Divine power to offer up his child as q
sacrifice and explained that he was 60
ing to cut his throat and burn him on
the pile of faggots, and warned her that
she would 60 to hell if she interfered.
She tried to pull the child away, but
failed, and then she fought for the
razor. She finally got the razor, but
not until her hands and arms were cut
badly. Neigbbors got the husband un
der control, and he was lodged in jail.

The Strike Situation.

P1TTsBURG, Pa, Aug. 25.-The pow
or house of the Federal Court Coal Co.,
at Federal, Pa, was destroyed by fire
shortly after midnight. Great diff
Guilty was experienced in saving the
tipple. There seems to be no doubt
that the fire was the work of incendi-
aries. Since the strike was started Mr..
Powers, the manager, had threatened to
import colored men and start his mines.
Striking miners are accused of poison
ing the mules in Sterling mine No. s
at Hastings, Pa. One mule has died,
another is missing and four more are
extremely sick. 1t is understood the
mine will be closed down and the tracks
removed.
PIrrsBURG, Pa, Aug. 25.-No march
ing was done by the striking miners in
the De Armit mine coal region during
the night or early morning. At Plum
Creek the strikers seem to be losing
ground every day. To-day the COM
pauy decided that every man who did
not 20 to work at once could not 60 at
all hereafter.
HAzLEToN, Pa, Aug. 25.-The Hun
garians and Italians employed at the
strippings and canal at Van Wickle's
Coleraine colliery struck to-day for an
advance in wages. The superintendent
is willing to make the wages correspond
with the rates paid at other collieries.
1t is said that Van Wickle has been
paying dollar day. Other collieries
are paying but eighty-fve cents.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Aug. 25.-Repre-
sentatives of all the coal operators in
the Pittsburg district met at the Mo-
nongahela House this morning to de-
wise ways and means for opening the
mines Immediately at all hazards. II
was resolved to discharge all commit.
tees and adjourn sine die. 1t is said
that the operators will now prepare to
open their mines. Notices will be
posted at once notifying the strikers
that they can return to work if they
care to. After sufficient time has
elapsed and the men do not return the
operators will engage employees from
other places and start their mines.

ChIoroformed by a Robber.

NEW YORK, Aug. pa tall man
with dark mustache rang the bell OF
DR.. Fred Balk's house of 146 East
Thirty-seventh street shortly before 8
o'clock last night.
Lizzie Murphy, the doctors servant,
opened the door. Darling in, the man
seized the girl, but she broke away
from him and ran upstairs and pulled a
messeger call.
The man followed her. Selling her
again he threw her down and gagged
her. He then applied chloroform to
her nostrils.
She became insensible, and the rof .
Der hurriedly packed ell the silverware
in sight and took $22 in cash from q
bureau drawer.
Meanwhile another servant came to
the door and rang the bell. This
frightened the robber, who ran out,
leaving the silverware behind.
DR.. Balk returned soon after the man
left and called an ambulance from
Bellevue Hospital. The girl was taken
to the hospital In delirious state.
The special police from the messen.
ger Office got around too late to catch

BURIAL OF SATAN.

A dispatch from Mountville, S. c.,
says: Over 5000 colored people in this
vicinity have quit work in answer to q
call to assemble for the burial of Sa.
TAM" who, they say, has just been con
victed by jury of twelve angels anc
sentenced to everlasting burial in this
place.
These people have been holding re
vival meeting in the town, and as re.
suit of q collection they bought a bell
to adorn their church. 1t was upon
the first ringing of this bell that some
of them said they detected the an.
nouncement that the burial of Satan
was at hand and that the ringing must
be kept up continuously. The ringing
has since been kept up and the colored
people have been thrown into high
pitch of fervor, in which they forget all
things of earth and rave like lunatics
Every day the number of devotees is
being added to from the surrounding
country, and the result is that the cot
ton is standing unpicked in the fields
while this wild demonstration is in
progress. The attending colored minis
tiers say they have attended the court
of heaven in person, where God, the
Judge, after Satan had been convicted
by jury of twelve representative an
gels, passed sentence on him, turning
him over to the colored people OF
Mountville to bury once and forever.
Ten minutes are now allowed between
the intervals of ringing the bell, during
which the attending crowd sings vo.
ciferously and declares all manner Of
revelations.
