ENGINES FOR ENGLAND.
Twenty More to Go From New York
Next Week, Making More
Than so In a Year.

New York. Aug. 2.-Twenty Iocomo-
tives from the Baldwin and the Sche-
nectady Locomotive Works viii be
shipped to England in the steamship
Nutfeld of the LampOrt & Hope line
this week.
This shipment makes something over
sixty American locomotives that have
been shipped to England in the past
year. The reason the orders came to
this country was not because we could
build them cheaper than they could be
built in England, but because we could
build them quicker The American en-
gines that are now being shipped are
for use in the freight business on the
Midland road in England. They are not
so heavy as the engines used in the
same class of trains here, for the rea-
son that the English road has no such
grades as the roads in this country and
no such curves

STRIKE IN MILWAUKEE.
Union Men Object to Brothers Doing
the Work of I.aborers.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. "A peculiar
strike occurred here this morning. It
was not for increased wages or shorter
hours or against the employment of
nonunion men, but because certain 'un-
ion plasterers objected to other union
men doing work for which they thought
additional union men should be en-
ployed.
The plasterers were engaged in MAX
ing extensive repairs on the court house
and the strikers employed by one con-
Germ objected to union men of another
concern doing the work of laborers. The
latter concern professed willingness to
employ union laborers on the work, but
said that no men were to be had, and
that they would employ any union men
the directors might send 20 them.
Meanwhile they were anxious to push
the work and their union men were do
ing the work of the laborers. The strik-
ers insisted that this should not be done
and walked out and the controversy is
now being considered by their respec-
tive unions.

FORTUNE IN ZINC.
Austin Corbin, Jr., Acquires $4,000
600 In the Missouri-Kansa
District

New York, Aug. 2-Austin Corbin Jr.,
son of the founder of the Long Island
railroad, is the latest addition to the
list of bonanza kings, having in the last
year acquired fortune in the western
mining country which, it is said, may
be conservatively placed at $10,000,000.
Young Mr.. Corbin's wealth, as has been
detailed, was won in the zinc mining
industry, of which Joplin, in southwest
Missouri, is the center He uncovered
a veritable Klondike in this neighbor-
hood, and is now directing head of
dozen companies, controlling some of
the most profitable mines in the zinc
belt known as the Missouri kansas dis
trict, and is reaching out for other pro-
perties.
Just now he is trying to find time for
a vacation, and it is understood that
he will spend part of August in the
Shinnecock Hills.

JORDAN RELEASED.
Notorious Negro Is Not Held For
mcfarland Murder.

johnson Jordan, charged with being
implicated in the Mcfarland murder,
and for stealing shoes from a freight
car, had his hearing at Alma Tuesday
and was discharged, as there was no
evidence whatever against him and he
proved easily that he was in no way
mixed up in the trouble.
VIII Collins and ''B1anke" Souse were
discharged as the only evidence against
them was that they had been seen by
a stable keeper the day before the muir
der. The evidence against James Rem
der and Dick Williams is almost con-
elusive and as their stories differ they
were bound over to stand trial in the
district court for murder.
There is still talk of lynching. Tues
day a coIored man called on Governor
Stanley and told him there was danger
of Render and Williams being lynched.
Governor Stanley telegraphed the Alma
officials to use every precaution to pre-
vent lynching. Sheriff Cook fears
that Render and Williams will be
lynched if kept at Alma.

MORE UGLY THINGS.
Politicians Seem Bound to Deface
State House Grounds

The latest improvement added to the
state house grounds consists of two
immense signs warning heavy trucks
and wagons to keep off the pavement in
the grounds. These signs are nailed to
telegraph poles at the east and west
entrances Of the grounds.
While the motive which prompted the
placing of those signs is no doubt an
excellent one, yet it is difficult to recog-
nize the necessity of such ponderous
words of warning. The signs are too
large to be pretty and they spoil the
appearance of the vicinity in which
they appear. Signs one-fourth the size
placed in a conspicuous place on either
side of the entrance would have been
much more attractive and would not
have added the fierce and foreboding
appearance that these two monsters
give the grounds.
The signs remind spectators of the to-
bacco buckets in which the century
plants were formerly displayed on the
steps.

RENOUNCES HIS vows.
Father Gloria of San Francisco Re-
signs and Is Married.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. Oakland
has developed a sensation of unusual
human interest. Rev. Father Gail
herne Gloria, the brilliant young pastor
of st. Joseph's Portuguese Catholic
church, has resigned his pulpit and re-
nounced his priestly vows and this even
ing he was publicly married by a justice
of the peace to Miss Annie Collins, who
for nine years as his contract wife has
been his faithful companion.
The young priest became attached to
Miss Collins, who was a member of his
church, when she was but a child, and
as she grew to beautiful wOmanhoOd
his feeling became an ardent passion.
which caused him to forget his vows
to his church. The intimacy began
that has continued to the present and
the delay of the public marriage was
due to the fact that the young priest
hesitated to undertake to make a liv-
ing in the world after years of shelter
in the church. The couple have one
child, a handsome boy of T.

AFTER Mr.. MILLER

ing Pitfalls For Him.

and StOckman.
News From the Departments of
the State House.

The action of Congressman J. NJ. Mil
Ter of the Fourth district in having
Charles S. Briggs of Carbonate turned
down for census supervisor. has even
at this early date resulted in the origin
of a scheme to get NGiller's scalp next
year.
The movement is inspired by R. c.
Heller. Mr.. Briggs and other politicians
of influence and the man they have Sc
lected and almost persuaded, lis Hiram
Miller the well known stock man, farm
er and banker of Usage City.
Mr. Miller had planned to become a
candidate for state senator to succeed
Horace Greeley Jumper and was laying
his political wires with that purpose in
view when he was approached with the
proposition to run for congress. Mr..
Miller was not inclined to accept the
new deal but it is reported that he is
now about ready to permit his friends
to announce his candidacy.
The friends of the Usage Miller argue
that the strength of Miller Of Council
Grove, the present congressman is linn
tied. They claim that it would be easy
to get the nomination away from him
next year. They took the Usage Miller
on a high mountain and thus the pros
poets were explained and displayed to
him:
There is Woodson county which will
likely help US. Coffey county is not too
friendly to Miller of Morris and we can
rely upon our friends over there to help
us. Butler county we can depend upon
because many of the Republicans there
are in revolt against Miller of Norris.
Marion county will be for Usage
county in preference to Morris and we
think there is much hope for you
These were the representations which
Mr. Briggs and Mr.. Heller made to
Miller of Usage as reported to a Jour
nal reporter by one of their friends. 1t
is claimed by this gentleman, who lives
in Usage City, that there is no doubt
that Miller will enter the fight against
Miller of Norris

brought about by playing horse when
he was younger. The idea that he was

brain that he seems to be unable to
shake it off. He has constructed a
set of harness and a halter, which he
fastens around his neck, and he has
assumed all of the actions of the animal
that are possible.
He refuses to play with children or
have anything to do with anyone unless
they drive him or treat him like a
horse. He tries to eat, sleep and
stand" like a horse. He fastens him
self to hitching racks and stands for
long periods in the boiling sun or in the
rain. Recently his parents hid his hal
ter. He pinned away until he got hold
of it again and had it around his neck
