On the Cruiser Panther on the Way
from San Juan, Porto Rico--Men
Placed in Irons.

PHILADELPHIA, July "A local
paper will tomorrow publish a story
TO the effect hat a mutiny developed
on the cruiser Panther, now at League
Island navy yard, while on her way
from San Juan, Porto Rico, to this port
and that it was necessary to place
twenty-four men in irons.
According TO the story, while the
Panther was at San Juan in command
of Captain George C. Rector, the great
est portion of her crew rebelled against
the food and asked to be transferred
elsewhere. Several desertions occurred
and the departure of the cruiser. it is
said, was FASTENED for fear that she
would be so seriously crippled from
this cause that she. when her time
came, would be unable to leave.
On the voyage home it became nee
essary TO place a number Of the crew
in confinement, although there was no
open or violent breach OF discipline
manifested.
1t is stated that the insubordination
has been reported to the Navy Depart
ment at Washington, but no informa-
ton regarding the affair could be
CLEANED to-day from the navy yard Of
ficials nor from the officers Of the Pan
ther.

Will be Issued Hereafter by the Retail
Clerks Union.
At a meeting of the Retail Clerks
Union, at Trades Assembly hall, yes
terday afternoon, which was attended
by quite a large number of the clerks
of the city, quite a good deal of bust
ness was transacted. In talking to one
of the gentlemen yesterday after the
meeting he stated that n of the most
important matters acted upon was in
reference to working cards. Every
member in good standing will be pre-
sented with a card, and all locals OF
the Ohio Valley will be called upon to
axe action upon the matter by asking
for clerks holding cards who are en-
ployed at the different stores through
out the city, and deal with those clerks
only.
A vigorous campaign in this respect
will be made by the clerks hereafter,
and by so doing they hope to bring
quite a large number of the clerks into
the association who are not in it at the
present time. The meeting adjourned
to meet next Friday evening, the time
and place to be specified hereafter.
From Monday to Tuesday noon we
will sell Boots and Shoes at reduced
prices. All stock reduced. Come and
see us. E. HIGITWART,

DRUG FIRMS ASSIGNS.

The drug firm of ~Sedgwick & Campbell,
at Martins Ferry, made an assignment
Saturday morning for the benefit of their
creditors. The firm has been in business
about one year, and the failure was quite
a surprise, as it was generally supposed
they were doing a good business. Alvin
Sedgwick has been named as assignee and
it is very likely that matters will be got
ten in such shape that they can reopen
in a short time.

To Hear the Tyroiesns and q. III. Band at
Wheeling Park,

wheeling ARK
The special attraction at Wheeling Park
yesterday drew a large crowd in the af-
ternoon and evening, many remaining for
both concerts and securing supper at the
Park cafe. 1t was estimated that not less
than 5000 persons were present during the
afternoon and evening.
The evening concert was an innovation
which is certain to prove exceedingly pop
ular, if it is continued throughout the sum-
mer. The crowd thoroughly enjoyed the
music. and the natural beauties of the
resort as well. The Opera House band
rendered two delightful concert pro-
grammes, and the Tyrolean warblers.
from the German village, at the Oriental
Fair, charmed all who heard them by
their mountain melodies. Altogether the
musical programmes were of exceptional
merit, and the day was thoroughly en-
joyed by all who visited the Park.
