DETECTIVES ARRESTED.
Charged With Inciting Riot and Disor-
 derly Conduct.

Chicago, Aug. 13.-A force of specially deputized constables, employed local de- tectives, cashed with six members of the Cicero police force at the Hawthorne track this afternoon and were routed Of the fifty private detectives, seven were arrest ed charged with melting riot and disorder ly conduct. Chief Valenso, of the Cicero police force and his six men each captur- ing prisoner.
 The arrest was not accomplished with out slight bloodshed, and there were many bruised and cut heads and faces as a re- suit of the encounter.
 The clash was the result of the attempt on the part of the special deputies to serve warrants sworn in Justice Prindiyilles court by John Mitchell, who at the time the warrants were sworn accompanied by John Brenock under whose direction he was act ing The raid was the outcome of con- troversy between Brenock and Edward Corrigan.

Havana. Every door was tsrown open to Gottschalk. His manners nis blood his dreams were in close affinity with the
 rainbow-chasing Spaniard. At one of the homes where he was received he met a
 Mme s. whose full name has never
 been revealed to the world. The statement
 has been made that Gottsohalk never men, toned her name after the incident occurred which this story relates This much is known, that she was victim of an incura- ble malady and that the improvisations of Gottschalk brought to her tortured mind great relief. He was welcomed to her home, and there evening after evening he sat in the Cuban twilight and gave the best of himself to her through the piano. One night in particular he found her ex- tremely restless Pain seemed to touch every fiber of her body. She knew, as he did not, that the end was near. She said to him while his hands idly over the keys:
 My dear Moreau, improvse something; give me something for myself, for my soul.'
 The prayer of that sad voice was suffi- cient From where he sat the musician could see the shadows of night falling over the bay now made famous by Schley and Ceryera The aftermath was fading. He played as those who know the work say he could never have played before, and when the last note was struck "The Last Hope" was a creation.
 Gottschalll the next day passed into the interior of the Province of Santiago on his concert tour He was gone but a short time. When he returned, on passing ca- thedral in the city he noted funeral cor tege about to depart. He made careless inquiry as to who had died, and the an- swer was:
 Mime S-"
 A profound melancholy came upon him, during which he committed to manuscript "The Last Hope" Once or twice he play ed it in public, but memory was too cruel to permit much of this. Upon those who are fond of emotional compositions which seem to speak the language of the soul the place fastened itself something nev- CT to be forgotten Probably not musical home in Chicago could be found now in which the composition is ever rendered, although it is to be found in some of the best old music folios of fifteen years ago. Gottschalk left Santiago and passed on to Buenos Ayres and Montevido, where he gave concerts Later he came to Rio Ja- neiro, where he gae many concerts and planned a musical festival, which com- menced in November, 1869. On the second evening of this festival, while playing one of his own compositions, La Mort, he was taken ill., Instant removal to Tijuca did not relieve him. for he died in short | time. Before his death he had been dec- | orated with the cross of the Legion or Honor and the Order of Isabella the Cath | olic. Old and staid citizens will remem- | Der him as a contributor to the Atlantic Monthly. "-

Terrific ClOudburst

Knoxville, Aug 13.-A terrible cloudburst in which at least twenty lives are known to have been sacrificed was last night yis- tied upon the community of Beach Creek, about fifteen miles north of Rogersvile, Tenn, which place is eighty miles distant from Knoxville.
 The torrent of water fell in the vicinity of the home of William Figan, a well-to-do farmer, and his entire family of wife and five children were drowned and washed away with the flood. Figan, however, es- caped. The deluge of water carried with it every other human within it's reach and the only names of the lost reported here up to a late hour tonight in addition to the FL gan family are John Arnold and Samuel Henry and wife. These people resided within a quarter of a mile of the Figan home. This afternoon news was received in the city by special friends of the de- ceased.

 The customary formal salutations were exchanged and Lieutenant William G. Ford, the executive officer of the Sylvia, boarded the Pinzon and delivered the docu- ments.
 The ceremony occupied no more time than the physical act involved. The American officer returned to his ship and the two vessels went their respective ways. It is scarcely necessary to say that on neither side was any reference made to the ''recent unpleasantness."
 The Sylvia returned here tonight. Her men are very proud of their first and doubtless last war experience. They feel that it is not every small gunboat which achieves the distinction of drawing Morro castles fire. ~

Desperate Combat

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 13.-A despatch just received from Yazoo City gives an account of a desperate combat between eight depu- ty sheriffs and a negro eX-eonyict named Cranderson, in which two of the deputies, William Everett and James Stonestreet were killed and another, William Ward, se- riously wounded.

THE BISMARCK PAPERS

From the Cleveland Leader.
 Months ago it was announced that Em- peror William of Germany had given or ders to certain army officers to proceed to Frederichsruhe upon the death of Bis marck and seal all the private papers of the prince in the name of the kaiser.
 Bismarck appears to have gotten ahead of the emperor, however, by sending all his private papers to London, where they are now under lock and key, ready to be given to the public when the word shall be spoken. It is to be inferred, moreover, that they contain many things the public will be glad to get. and which young Will liam would very much like to have SUD- pressed. It Is certain that Bismarck held the emperor in contempt, and his feelings

"A Knowing Sort of Chap"

It Is to be presumed, therefore, that the old chancellor would not be in- clined to spare the young war lord in any thing that he may have written concern ing the termination of his official career.
 The whole world will await the publica- tion of Bismarcks political secrets, and that they will cerate a sensation there Is no reason to doubt.

 | Senator Morgan has won almost as much distinction by the war and it's developments as has fallen to the lot of our military and naval heroes. The country Is opening its eyes to the fact that as a far-sighted statesman he has but few, if indeed any, equals in the country. He saw years ago what is now coming to pass. He was then ahead of the times. Now the smaller statesmen are beginning to see with the natural eye what he saw with the prophetic hnd penetrating eye of the statesman.
