No class Of people Is 50 liable TO throat
trouble as the great class who make up the

vocal organs by constant exercise; the
sudden change from a heated building to

that a minister feels impeiied to use his

Sprecke1s Brothers Sell Interest in

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 80. - The

of bankers and brokers, the new Board
of Directors being as follows: Edward
Pollitz, President; E. NJ Walsh AL
bert Meyer, r. G. Brown and Charles

Some time ago the Spreckels began
to unload, and the stock was snapped
up as fast as possible by the syndi-
cate. This was done quietly, and in
a short time the new owners had con-
troll The Spreckels, it is said tried
to rebuy, but the syndicate refused to
sell, and negotiations for the complete
transfer were arranged, the deal being
consummated to-day.
The purchase price will reach Sc. 900. :
900, or $50 a share. When in Janu-
ary, 1894, the Spreckels secured control
of the stock, it was not worth a cent
share, literally, but by manipulation
and the improvement of the property
the stock went up. To-day, after four
and a half years ownership of what
was almost valueless stock, the Spreck-
els cleared up $3,O00.OG0
The new company will inaugurate ex-

larger scale than under the old regime
and expect to make a handsome profit

Will remain here long enough to shift
her coal, and perhaps take on some
more as ballast, give her machinery an
overhauling and clean her boilers,
which have become very dirty. While
in the China Sea she encountered a ty-
phoon, probably the one that overlook
the Zealandia, and lay TO for thirty two
hours. She had most of the railing and
deck torn away, but suffered but little
serious damage.
The Senator brings a number of non
commissioned officers and privates
from the Eighteenth and Twenty third
Infantry and Third Artillery, whose
term of enlistment had expired, though
none of them left the ranks until after
the capture of Manila.
The military funeral of Private Wal
TALON Heavy Artillery, California Vol
unteers, took place on the 18th inst. The
unfortunate soldier died of typhoid
fever at the United States hospital on
the day previous. The services were
conducted by the army Chaplain from

There are 400 men sick at Camp Nc
kinley and Camp Otis, Honolulu. They
are not i'll enough to be sent to the
hospital, but are suffering from sort
of epidemic due, it is thought, to the
water.
The percentage of officers and men
willing to join an Hawaiian battalion
of United States troops for garrison
service here are so very small that the
idea has been given up. Both General
Merriam and General King are in IA
vor of keeping up the present National

home, armed, terrorized and awaiting
attacks expected to be made on their
homes by the negroes imported from
Alabama.
All night the striking union miners,
reinforced by other miners from other
towns, armed with shotguns and ri
fies, paraded the streets or lay in am
bush on housetops and in alleys await
ing the coming of the blacks from
Springside and Penwell stockades, who
had announced an intention to march
into the city and drive out the whites.
But the Deputy Sheriffs We're success
full in keeping the negroes within the
stockades Many shots were fired in
the vicinity of the mines throughout
the night but with what result could
not be aScertained.
Many visiting miners heavily armed
arrived here to-day and later, with
ECO local miners, left the city for Shell
by County, three miles east, to inter-
cept a Baltimore and Ohio train, said
to be conveying sixty negro miners to
Pana to take union mems places Their
purpose is to stop the train, unload
the negroes, and at the point of guns
march them west. Sheriff Coburn will
dispatch a posse TO the county line to
prevent a hold-up of the train within
Christian County.
Mayor Penwell, son of Operator Pen
well, spent last night in the stockades.
He said he was afraid of being mobbed
by the miners and that his father and
mother have left the city.
Sixty-eight members of Battery B,

with Springfield rifles, side arms and

engine held both Gatling guns, all
ready to fire in case of attack The

hundred striking union miners from
Pana to-day held UP a special Balti-

negro miners to Pana to take the
places of union miners. The negroes
were taken from the cars and compelled
to walk back to Tower Hill, where they
were locked up in the depot until 10
o'clock tonight. AT that hour the ne
groes were placed on board an east
bound train and taken back to Indi-
ana at the expense of the miners

masked.
News of the capture of the blacks
having reached Sheriff Coburn of
Pana, he sent an armed posse of 100
deputies, including negroes from
Springside Camp, toward this town to
Intercept the miners on their return.
Sheriff Coburns force had not arrived
at late hour. In case they fail to
appear the miners will remain here
over night and take a roundabout way
home 1t is believed battle will be
precipitated If the Coburn forces show
up in this vicinity. The Sheriff of this
county refused to interfere with the
union men.
