the threshing hands with only slight
injuries seems miraculous.
The outfit was an old one. The
engine had seen about seven years of
service and was IN dilapidated con.
ditiOn. Henry and William Cart Of
this city had contracted for the pur-
chase OF the outfit and it was started
up Wednesday Oh the Notesteine farm
to give it trial. 1t had done about
twenty-four hours work when the
explosion occurred. The stay bolts
on the boiler were loose and the thing
was otherwise unfit for service. When
the explosion occurred, the engine
had just been stopped and the hands
with the exception of those slightly
injured were fortunately out of
harms way. Cart and the two Notes
teine boys had close calls for their
lives. Both ends OF the boiler we're
completely blown out. The outfit
was brought to town next morning for
repairs.
NOtestelne had agreat deal of wheat
in rick close to the engine when it
exploded, but fortunately the fire
which burned the separator did not
reach the riCks. The explosion and
fire created great deal Of excitement
IN the neighborhoOd for awhile.

Degree of Honor Social,

The mystery Of that peculiar De-
gree OF Honor program which had
been appearing iD the dailies last
week was explained at the social given
by that lodge at Odd Fellows hall
Friday night. When the time came
for refreshments, cards bearing a
number were distributed among the
guests. The guests were required to
compare the number on the card to a
number on the provision basket iu
the lunch room. The baskets con.
tanned luncheon and the guests were
presumably to be required to make
their supper upon what the baskets
contained. But 10 many instances
the baskets contained only a tooth.
pick or other indigestible substance.
This feature Of the evening proved to
be only a joke, however, and after
allOwingthe guests to mediate awhile
upon the "hardtack" they secured in
the baskets, they were invited to
beautifully laden tables, where a
most sumDtuous repast was enjoyed
a program consisting Of recitatious
and good music was rendered during
the evening. Before the social part
Of the evening was begun, degrees
were conferred upon the Misses Cora
and Franc Beard by the lodge. The
occasion last night not only proved
highly enjoyable to all concerned but
was financially profitable to the de.
serving Degree Of Honor lodge.

reception at Ganeshkind on the even
ing of June %, jubilee day, Plague
Commissioner Rand being dangerously
wounded at the same time, are still at
large.
The aggressive attitude of the ma
tives, prior to the shooting, was re-
marked.
There were whisperings of impend-
ing disaster to Europe and it is thought
that the whole native community, in
Guiding the police, had foreknowledge
that something was going to happen.
On jubilee night-an anonymous let
ter arrived at Rand's bungalow, saying
You will die to-day, and the queen
will die two days after. Many others
will follow, and the soldiers will all be
killed.
Threatening letters have been re-
ceived by other Europeans. During the
progress of the plague prominent Hin
docs made violent accusations against
the British soldiers, charging them
with ravishing the women and rob-
bling and ~ill-treating all who came in
contact with them. The allegations
that the Brahmins are responsible for
the murders which have recently 90
Cured are repudiated vigorously.

The Work to be Pushed by the Present
Administration.
WASHINGTON. June 3O.-The work of
consolidating small outlying post of
fees with a large adjacent one, making
a single postal district with modern
facilities, will be pushed vigorously by
this administration. The OPPOSE
ton to the scheme comes, it
is said, from residents who
have wrong ideas of the
objects of the department, or from
post office employees whose positions
are thereby affected. The results of
the consolidation policy so far carried
out have been most gratifying to the
Washington authorities, and First
Assistant Postmaster Heath has de.
termined that consolidation shall
be affected wherever possible
and feasible. Consolidation abolishes
the individual small post offices, and
substitutes ~substations for them; re-
duces the postmasters to sub-agents,
with accompanying saving of salaries
and complicated auditing work, and
instead of the many post of
fees, substitutes the large of
fees with branches, all having
free delivery and other advantages &C
cruing to a post Office from such privi-
lege. Several consultations nave been
ordered recently, and others are con-
templated.
At Los Angeles, Cal, four or five
offices near by have been consolidated
with good effect, and similar action has
been taken at Denver recently,

SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY GAGE
"At the end of the fiscal year, 1896,
one year ago." continued Secretary
Gage. "the gold reserve was only S102,-
900, 900, or just barely above the the
oretical reserve of a hundred millions.
There was a fear that before the year
was over there might be very large ex-
ports, compelling the administration to
again issue bonds for gold. Now we
not only have a gold reserve of SAL
900, 900, but there is not a cloud in
sight as to its continuance ap-
p~roximately at that very comfort
able level. This is the most hopeful
sign that l see in the present condition
of the government finances, for when
the country is all right and the gov
eminent ali right, the gold reserve is
sure to be all right, and vice versa.
AT the end of this fiscal year." re-
sumed the secretary, looking over the
official statement, which had just been
placed upon his desk, 'the condition
of the government is all that could be
desired. There is no trouble with
the gold reserve-that barome-
ter of confidence. The busi-
ness men, capitalists and investors
not only of our own country, but of the
world, are content with our situation
and prospects. All the nervousness
which formerly held us in its tolls has
disappeared. In its place we have con-
fdence in the future, confidence in the
government, confidence in ourselves.
The boarding of gold has stopped, and
much of the yellow metal that was
piled away during the depression has
come out and gone into circulation.
THE closing of the fiscal year brings
us nearer to the passage of anew tariff
law, which will give business a settled
condition, we hope, for a long time.
That it will also give the government
sufficient revenue for its needs and do
away with deficits we have satisfactory
evidence"

RIOT IN CALCUTTA.

TIL Mosiem Population TAX Advantage Of
tho Temporary Absence of Governing Of
ficials to Foster an Outbreak Against the
European Residents OF the Town-A Com
promise Considered but as q Dangerous
Makeshift.
CALCUTTA, July 8. "A compromise on
the plague measures having been ar
ranged between the authorities and
the rioters the disturbances have
ceased. The absence of rain is causing
the greatest anxiety throughout India.
The rioting arose oat of the growing
practice of thc Mohammedans of seiz-
ing and refusing to pay rent for GER
tain ~so-called mosques, built, contrary
TO the tenets of the Mohammedan re-
ligion, on ground belonging to infidels.
The demolition of a mud hut, a So
called mosque, led to the outbreak.
The rioters were continually reinforced
in response to kilograms sent up the
country, in which they appealed to
all true Mohammedans to aid their CO.
religious brethren.
For As hours the police and military
were repeatedly obliged to clear the
streets. Detached parties of Moham-
medans stoned Europeans wherever
they found them, in some cases drag
ging them from their glarries.
All Geographic lines were cut and
the buildings containing Europeans
were besieged. There were many mar
row escapes. The rioters shouted war
cries and vile epithets and grossly in
suited European
In several parts of Calcutta it is still
dangerous for Europeans to GO about,
and it is likely to remain so owing to
the nature of the compromise by which
the riot was brought to an end.
The trouble is greatly increased by
the absence of the higher officials,
most of whom are now in the hills.
Those who remained behind hesitated
to undertake the responsibility of ex-
treme The result was that
the troops were not allowed to fire or
to take the offensive, even when ex-
posed to every kind of indignity and
insult. Their behavior and ~self-re-
straint under the circumstances were
admirable.
1t is understood that the compro mise
is based upon the unconditional sur
render of the lands, but it is believed
hat this concession will prove astand-
ing menace to the safety of Europeans,
rs the rioters will celebrate the victory
throughout all India.
In spite of the cessation of the riots
the situation is regarded as extremely
grave, and it is felt that unless some
official is invested with plenary powers
during the absence of the governing
authorities European citizens will be
compelled to act on their own respon.
sibility.

trial Show Under q Temperature to
Which They Are Strangers in Their
Southern Homes-ROyally Entertained
by the Exposition People.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 2-Those
members of the Pan-American COM
merical party who were hardy enough
to brave the intense heat spent yester-
day at the exposition grounds. There
was no formal programme, and the
visitors roamed at will about the build
ings, occasionally varying their ex-
animation of industrial exhibits by =
peep at the Midway and its amusements.
In spite of the popular misapprehen-
sion that the men from South America
are Injured to the most extreme heat,
most of them come from elevated spots
where the temperature rarely gets be-
yond the eighties. and they are suffer
ing from the present severe weather.
Luncheon was served al the club house
on the exposition grounds, and the
party again separated, reassembling in
the evening at the Tulane hotel, where
a farewell dinner vas served before
their departure, at ten o'clock, for st.
Louis
There were many speeches and some
graceful responses. President Harris
of the chamber of replied to
a toast, ''Our Guests From Over the
Line" After praising The Philadelphia
commercial museums for having
brought together the representative
business men of Lower America and
Mexico, he told them how welcome
they were to the sunny south and dwelt
upon the rapid growth of its industries
as exhibited in the exposition build
ings.
To this Delegate Henry S. Price, Of
Colombia, replied. He thanked Nash
vile tor its hospitality and for the op-
portunity to view its splendid exposi-
ton.
Committeeman Kitchener, of Chatta-
dustrial and historical interests of his
city. G. H. Richter, of British Guiana,
as a representative from the only En-
disappearing colony of the southern
continent, urged that the business
men of the United States should fol-
low England's example, and suggested
that having the men, money and ma
chimes, they should march to new mar
kets In South America"
Other addresses were made by Maj.
John j. Mccain, DIR. Vim. P. Wilson,
director of the Philadelphia museum,
who spoke briefly on the international
character of the institution, reminding
his hearers of its southern connec-
tions, and Rev. P. A. Rodriguez, who
made a Spanish farewell to the dele

posed to AutonOmy-The Idea that the
United States May Eventually Intervene
by Force Regarded with Anxiety.
LONDON, June 30 1.-The Pail Mall
Gazette prints the following dispatch
from its correspondent at Madrid:
Public attention is engrossed by the
appointment of Gen. Stewart L.
Woodford as United States min
lister to Spain. While the gov
eminent continues to repudiate tho
intention of recalling Gen. Weyler,
l am in a position to reiterate that his
recall will be an accomplished fact at
no distant date. l learn that in all
probability Generals Blanco and
Macias will proceed to the island and
divide the supreme command. have
also reason to believe that,
coincident with the arrival here
of Gen. Woodford, Marshal Martinez
Campos will proceed upon IA separate
mission to Cuba. In accordance with
IAc WISHES VI 1reSlUenL MchlQleV,
Martinez de Campos should be the ex-
ecutor of any arrangements possibly
reached between Spain and the United
States. Indications do not point to any
arrangements being reached with
the United States, and intimate
friends of Senior Canovas del Castillo
declare the premier will strenuously
oppose autonomy. Senior CASTELAR,, the
liberal leader, is also opposed to any
thing of the kind. They both consider
that such a concession would render it
very difficult to maintain Spanish
sovereignty. The report that
the United States will insist upon
autonomy and the withdrawal of the
Spanish troops, and hat otherwise it
will intervene by force, if necessary,
does not make for a peaceful solution,
and the position is regarded through
out Spain with considerable anxiety"

COL. OCHlLTREE ILL.
The Noted Texan Suffering From Serious
Organic Trouble.

Organic Trouble.
WASHINGTON, June 30.-Col. Tom
Ochiltree, of Texas, who became a ma
tional character a few years ago, has
been dangerously ill at Chamberlain's
hotel, in this city, for three months.
The serious nature of his illness
has just become known outside of
his immediate circle OF friends. For
over a year he has been in poor health,
but for a long time was ignorant as to
the cause. A recent examination dis
closed the fact hat he was affected
with organic disease, and several opera
tons have been performed. He is now
gathering strength for the final opera
ton, which is to be performed this
week. 1t is thought this will bring
permanent relief.
Throughout his spell of sickness Col.
Ochiltree has borne his sufferings most
bravely. and his condition is much bet
ter at present than it has been at any
time during the last IL weeks.
Col, Ochiltree came to congress from
the Lone Star state several years ago
