BROKEN PIPE REPLACED.
The Sewerage Break Is Repaired and All
Working Smoothly.


The break in the sewerage system
tenn was repaired yesterday.
The break was located in the terra
Gotta pipe connecting the pumping
station with the Mansfield street main.
The break stopped the operation of a
considerable part of the system, and
might have been quite serious in Its
results if it had been left unattended.
New pipe was put down yesterday,
and everything is again working
smoothly. The excavations were
sprinkled lavishly with lime and car
bolic acid.
The work was done by detachment
of the city chaingang. 1t is not be-
lieved that the pipe will give any fur
ther trouble.

Subject of Louisville.

Louisville, KY, Aug. 14.-For 26
days little Ebie Dick, the 13 year, old
daughter of Mrs. Thomas Dick, of 6O2
East Kentucky street, has not opened
her eyes and has not known a waking
moment. She has been fast asleep the
entire time, and DIR. Frank Wilson,
who is attending her, says she will
probably sleep week longer.
Twenty eight days ago she was at
tackled with typhoid fever and for two
days the fever ragged and then sud-
denly left her. She then sank into a
stupor, from which she has not
aroused, although every effort known
to medical science has been used.

Savannah, Aug. 1.-THE condition
Of the wheat market the past week has
been one of buoyancy, with a liberal
advance in prices brought about by a
state of circumstances that have been
somewhat peculiar, yet of a nature
tending to enhance values on a light
mate basis. For some time past the
market has been gradually gaining
strength, most of the bullish influence
coming from abroad where an ex-
pected large shortage in the European
crop not only caused foreigners to be-
come large buyers of futures but of
cash commodity as we'll.

Despite the Orders of officials,
Miners Marched on
the Mines.
WEST VIRGINIA STRIKERS GAINING.
Wheeling District Entirely ClOssd-Italians,
Carrying Knives, Return
to Work,

Pittsburg, Aug. l4.-Despite the or
ders OF the miners officials, the strlk-
ers at Sandy Creek and Turtle Creek
attempted to march on the mines this
morning, but the deputies were on the
alert and both bodies were forced to
break the ranks and return to their
camps. There was the same show of
resistance made by the marchers at
Sandy Creek this morning that occur
red at Plum Creek yesterday, but of a
milder degree. The campers began to
march al 3 O'Clock, an hour and half
earlier than usual. This was done to
outwit the deputies, but it failed.
The sheriff's men were on guard and
when the strikers came to the road
they were met by twenty six deputies
and ordered to halt. The inju notion
was then served on them and they were
ordered back to camp. They resisted
at first, but when the deputies pressed
forward the strikers quickly broke
ranks and returned to their Quarters.
About forty Italians returned to
work at Oak Hill mine today under a
guard of deputies. Most of the Ital-
ians carried knives, and when they
marched to the tram, they kept close
to tho deputies, but no attempt was
made to interfere with them.
Notwithstanding the injunction Sc
cured by the Bunola Coal company,
the strikers continue to march every
morning to the PIT. This morning the
deputies arrested eighteen and
brought them to Pittsburg. They
were placed in jail on the charge of
disorderly conduct. The Injunction
against the Bunola miners was
heard before Judge Colyer of the
county court this morning and the
decision reserved.

The Wheeling district is now en-

cLEvELAND's MEMOIRS.

] 1t is said that eX-President Cleveland
viii devote much of the leisure of his
remaining years to the writing of his
memoirs or history of his two terms
as president of the United States. 1t is
also said that if these memoirs are
written they will not be published until
after his death.
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Cleveland
viii do this, for his memoirs would be
! both interesting and valuable. Men of
/ his time differ as much as it is pos
sible in their estimate Of him, and men
may do this in the future. but no one
will deny that he has carved upon the
American pillar of fame a name for
himself.
His administrations were rather re-
markable in themselves. He was the
first. in fact the only Democratic presi-
dent since the Democratic party went
out of power in 1851. He enjoys the
distinction of being the only president
of the United States who has had two
terms. but not consecutively. His in
fuence upon the domestic policy of the
country has been great, but his infiu-
ence upon its foreign policy immeasur-
ably greater. 1t would be interesting
10 know the full history of the dis
missal of Sackville-West because of the
Murchison letter. 1t is known that
some preparation for war with En-
gland was made as the consequence of
that dismissal What all would IKE 20
know is whether the dismissal was
made that there might be war with
England. On this point Mr.. Cleveland
could shed great light. He made out
of the Murchison letter everything it
was possible to make. That whole af-
fair was a mere incident. The Vene-
zuelan message. with its implied
threat and Mr.. Olney's note saying the
fat Of this government is law on the
American continents was epoch-makins
in the foreign policy of the United
States. Mr. Cleveland could do no
greater service to posterlty than to give
full history of that famous message
and all his plans and intentions regard
ing Il, had matters taken another turn
than what they did.
Mr. Cleveland has it in his power 10
make some valuable contributions to.

SIGNS OF BETTER TIMES.

Signs of better times are said to be
visible on all hands. It is surely to
be hoped that they are. though ali
have not seen them. We tind in some
of our state exchanges a Supplement
giving extracts from papers all over
the country. stating that business is
improving. It is true This supplement
is sent out from Republican national
headquarters and is of much the same
character as campaign literature, and
is for party purposes. If it has the
effect to make people feel that things
are changing for the better ana makes
them more cheerful. it will do good,
and it win not have been sent out in
vain.
What the people want is better times
and they will welcome anything from
any source that will tend 10 improve
them. The man who would prefer that
hard times continue until good times
shall come in accordance with his the
Org; or who. having it in his power
would in any way obstruct the return
of good times because they did not
come as the result Of some policy IA
vored by him, is g churl. Men viii
always be divided in their beliefs as
to what financial and commercial poll
cies tend most to induce or retard the
greatest prosperity. but those policies
do not absolutely control. If a people
is extravagant and wasteful. living on
great expectations, instead Of actual in
come, there is bound TO be much dis
aster, and it viii never be retrieved
until they learn. and put in practice
the lesson, that the only sure and per-
manent basis Of prosperity is 70 reduce
expenses, public and private, until
they are covered by the income.
Whenever the people win do this it
will be the very best sign of better
times that they can possibly have.
That is the grand sign to be looked
for, but there are one or TWO transitory
ones that-are perhaps worthy Of men
ton The chief Of these is that con-
gress has about completed its tariff
tinl1eing and the people are to have a
rest from that most disturbing of bust
ness disturbers. People can adjust
themselves to any conditions, but it is
the continual change of conditions
that so upsets them and makes it i'm
possible for them TO put forth their
best efforts and build up. Permanency
of policy is a condition precedent of
any extended prosperity.
