Hidden Under Clay.

Correspondence Of the Chicago Reeord)
Curious but dangerous freaks of nature
frequently found in the deserts of Arizona
are called sumideros by the Mexieans and
indians. They are masked pitfalls of quick
sand tina. occur in the dry plains, and are
covered with a treacherous crust of clay
that has been spread over them in fine
particles by the wind and baked dry by
the sun.
The peculiar properties of the soil retain
all the moisture drained into them after
the infrequent rains, and allow it to be
filtered to unknown depths, so that a man
or a horse or a COW or sheep that once
steps upon that deceptive crust instantly
sinks out of sight beyond hope Of rescue
The sumideros are on a level with the sur
face of the desert There is no danger sig
nal to mark them, and their surface can
not be distinguished by the ordinary eye
from the hard clay that surrounds them
They occur most frequently in the alkali
covered flats. and are often fifteen or twen-
ty feet in diameter. Sometimes they are
only little pockets or wells that man can
leap across, but the longest pole has never
found their bottom. A stone thrown
through the crust sinks to unknown
depths. and no man who ever fell into one
of them was rescued. They account for
the mysterious disappearance Of many men
and cattle.

Bainbridge. Ga, July 27.-Two COM
panies Of State militia ordered here By
Governor Gambler to prevent any further
lynchings arrived at o'clock yesterday.
John Williams, the negro whose life was
threatened Tuesday night. was not lynched,
and when the State troops arrived they
found the mob had dispersed. Tuesday
cambridge was in the hands Of a bowling
mob. which began to assemble about dusk
and which increased as the hours passed.
The mob came from the country and towns
In the vicinity, and it was openly declared
that the Decatur county Jail would be
stormed and that John Williams would BE-
lynched. AS soon as he heard these
threats the sheriff summoned deputies and
organized a Jail guard and at the same
time wired Governor Gambler to send
troops. 1t was expected that the mob
would attack the Jail about midnight. For
several hours there was reign OF terror
on the streets of Bainbridge, the mob
marching here and there shouting and call
ing for vengeance on Williams A delega-
ton of the mob called on Sheriff Patterson
at the Jail and demanded the keys uncer
penalty of storming the prison. The sheriff
told the men that the keys were locked up
in the vault of the courthouse and it was
impossible for him to get them. The mob
then gathered at the Jail and threatened 10
force an entrance. They were warned 10
keep away or they would be fired upon by
the guards inside. Before the mob could
muster sufficient force to attack the jail
the militia arrived on a special train and
quickly surrounded the Jail. The mob then
left the prison and went TO their homes.

A STRIKE AT YOUNGSTOWN.
Three Thousand Iron and Steel
Workers Walk Out.

Cleveland, O., July 27.-Three thousand
five hundred employees of the Republic Iron
and Steel Company at Youngstown, o., are
out The strike has been renewed until
satisfactory and binding contract is made
with the company. The strikers are out
side of the amalgamated association, which
they left in 1892, working since under their
own scale of wages, based on the amalga-
mated association scale. Under the recent
increase of the amalgamated association
scale, the strikers say their wages should
be increased. Since 1892 the amalgamated
association wages were reduced in all 80
per cent and the wages of the Youngstown
strikers only 25 per cent, which, under the
increase granted by the company, is now
restored TO the 1892 standard. The ANAL
gamated association will not take part in
the strike as it has nothing in common
with the strikers. All of the finishing mills
and the valley plants of the, company are
idle today, causing serious delay, the COM
pany being overcrowded with orders for
immediate delivery.

THE BOL7HRs GROW BOLD.
Goebers Opponents May Nominate
a Full State Ticket.
This Conclusion Is Said to Have
Been Reached Bccause OF the
Rapid Development of Sentiment
Against the Present Democratic
Candidate-Brecl<inr May Run.

Lexington. Ky, July 27.-Owing, it is
said, to the rapid growth of sentiment
against William Goebel, head OF the DEM
ocratic State ticket, it is now proposed by
the boilers to name full ticket at the
convention to be held here August 2.
1t is argued that if Goebel was nominated
at the Louisville convention by the steal
ing of the Stone and Hardin delegations,
the remainder of the ticket was named in
the same manner and was therefore not
the choice of the people.
1t is further proposed to continue the
old State committee with Chairman P. p.
Johnston at its head, filling the vacancies
caused by members going with the .Goebel
convention. The ch>-dnan and the old
committeeman are with the boilers This
will make two distinct State organizations
and two complete Democratic tickets, For
mer Representative w. C. p. Breckinridge
opposes the selection of a full ticket by the
boilers, but his wishes in this matter may
be oyerridden and if SO, he will be named
by the boilers for attorney general, in op-
position to his brother, Robert ]. Breck-
inridge, on the Goebel ticket.

A SCHOOL FOR PUBLISHERS.
The Latest Development of Techni-
cal Training in Paris

(Paris Correspondence of the London Telegraph.J
Every single branch of human intellec-
tual activity will some day be provided
with its corresponding scheme of special
technical tuition. Young Frenchmen desi-
rous of fully equipping themselves for a
brilliant career in the Fourth Estate will
shortly, like their fellow aspiring journal
lists in some other countries, be enabled
to learn the profession thoroughly in a
regular course of three years study at
special college. An institute of fiction has
also been suggested, in which novelists
who Joined as students would enjoy the in
valuable advantage Of being taught how
to write properly.
The latest development now on these
lines OF progressive education is a school
for publishers. According to the promot-
ers of the scheme, the need for such an
institution has long been badly felt, and
they ought to know, since they are men,
bers of body officially representing the
publishing trade, the Cercle de la Librai-
rie. Among the public at large those who
most heartily concur in this view are very
naturally, authors, aspiring and otherwise.
When men of letters in Paris get together
and talk shop horrible or humorous tales
are unfolded of the pitiless crue ty or the
absurd incompetency of the absent pub
Usher The idea of an academic school
where the latter would learn his trade is
hailed with delight by authors, the inya-
riably rejected and the habitually sue
cessful alike. They all feel sure of being
better treated by publisher learned in
the schools than by business man to
whom knowledge of his trade has come
through practical experience.
In the first place, the programme of the
new venture expressly states that the prime
purpose of the scheme is Ito raise the in
telleetual level of the corporation general
ly." If this end is achieved, will not the
aspiring, but unappreciative bard be vast
ly benefited thereby? Then the student
publishers will be given every opportunity
of becoming, perhaps, even as learned as
the young author himself. The course of
studies will last three years, and the curri-
culum will be most comprehensive as well
as thorough. French and foreign literary
| history and criticism are down on the pro-
gramme with literary and other biography,
photography. the philogical study Of an
| cient and modern languages and commercial
law. Technical subjects will include every
thing relating to the turning out of a vol
ume, from reading manuscript to binding
-comprehending, in fact, the printers art
and great deal more besides. Whether
the science of advertisement and the art of
making book sell are likewise to be taught
Is not specified.
In any case the new school for pub
fishers promises to be very thorough and
| active institution. Possibly the scheme
has been suggested to the members OF the
Cercle de la Librairie by the somewhat
bitter controversy to which publicity was
given lately among their neighbors across
| the Channr tween several prominent
persons VII ite books and other equal
tly well-known men who bring them out.

Pennsylvania Freight Handlers Re-
turn to Their Jobs.
New York, July 27-The threatened
strike of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany's $50 freight handlers in Jersey City
was averted yesterday mainly through
the efforts of Rev. Father Daniel J.
Brady, assistant rector of St. idary's
Church. The priest was aided by a num-
Der of conservative men among the en-
ployes. The freight handlers quit work
at 12 o'clock and it was the understanding
they would not return to work unless their
demand for an increase of wages was COM
piled with. The priest appeared and
pleaded with the men not to strike, point
ing out the evil of strikes and adding:
Remember your loved ones at home,
dear men. Remember your wives and
children and do not leave them without
their daily bread while you vainly attempt
to right wrong by means of strike.
Remember strikes breed poverty, misery,
sorrow, and in the end few of them are
ever successful
Although the company refused to grant
the increase the men returned to work,
after cheering for Father Brady.

working on a Big Car Contract.


Roanoke, Va, July 27.-Work has begun
in earnest at the Roanoke Machine Works
upon the 1000 coal cars of 100000 pounds
capacity, to be built there for use on the
Norfolk and Western, between the coal
fields and Lambert's Point. The smith
shop has finished enough of it's part of the
labor to furnish at least fifty of the cars,
and the erecting shops will begin to build
them. This, of course, means the en-
ployment of more men, and there are now
200 more names on the pay rolls than
usual the number of men working at the
shops being 1000, which is more than have
ever worked there before at any one time.
The pay roll at the shops in the next few
months will be considerably above the
normal. The building of these cars, it
was estimated at first, would cost in the
neighborhood of $500. 900. most Of which is
to be expended here in Roanoke. The work
has been delayed considerably by the SCARF
ity of material and the difficulty expert
enced in securing it. 1t is thought that
the work will low be pushed to compile
ton.
