DESPERATE FIGHT
One U. s. Marshall Was Instantly Kill
 ed Desperadoes Wounded

St. Louis, July 10.-A special from Glen Coe, o. sT., says:
 One United States marshal was instant ly killed and three desperadoes mortally wounded and captured in fight on the Ar kansas river, forty miles east of here last night. A messenger brought the newe here today. In that locality there are a great many. bands of the cattle thieves who have terroized residents for some time. Only few days ago a farmer was killed while trying to protect his property The three desperadoes last night had stolen a whole herd of cattle from the reservation and were taking them to a railroad sta- tion preparatory to disposing of them when the three marshals overlook them, and the fight began with Winchesters and Colts pistols.
 One of the marshals was killed at the be- ginning of the fight, as was the leader of the desperadoes. The fight continued for nearly an hour, when another desperado feel, and the remaining one started to run, but was brought down. It is thought that none of the outlaws will recover. If they do they will be removed to the federal jail at Pawnee.

Not only was the condition on July for the cotton region as a whole the lowest July condition on record, but in Georgia.

 Excessive rains are drowning out the crop, and followed by an extraordinary growth of grass and weeds, are reported from almost every State, and the gravity of the situation is greatly increased by the general scarcity of labor.

The entire plant of the Birmingham Ce- ment Company, located at Ensey, was de- stroyed by fire last night, the loss being something over $1O0, ,Oo0, with insurance con- siderably less.
 The fire started about o'clock, but it's origin Is unknown. The night watchman made his rounds of the building about g o'clock. and on his next round, nearly an hour later, on going to the shipping room he discovered that part of the building in flames. The alarm was promptly given, but as Ensley has no fire department there was not much chance of saving either the buildings or machinery. The fire burned rapidly, and at midnight everything about the plant had been consumed except four boilers, two dryers and the office build ing.
 A. W. Crandall, manager of the Cement Company, stated at l o'clock this morning that he had not been to the fire, but that from the information he had, the loss to the company on account of the fire would be over $1OO,OOO, and that while he could not

state definitely the amount Of insurance carried he was sure it was far below the actual value of the property destroyed
 A telephone message from Ensiey stated that the fire was beyond control at all stages until the timber and other com bustible materials had been consumed. The machinery, which was all new. not having been in use more than seven or eight months, was so badly damaged that 1t will be worthless.
 The Birmingham Cement Company was organized here about year ago with capital stock of $1OO,0Oo. The cement works were built at Ensley during the latter part of 1899 and put in operation about the be- ginning of the present year. They had been recently partially closed down, but a week or two ago started up in full force again. The company had offices in the Hood building, Fourth avenue and Twen- tieth street, this city with A. w. Crandall, manager of the company, in charge. The company employed about one hundred and fifty men at the works and had a capacity of several hundred barrels a day.

PLOT TO ASSASSINATE THE
 PRESIDENT IS FRUSTRATED

New York; July 1.-The World says:
 "A plot to assassinate President McTSin- ley has been frustrated.
 Tt was concocted by a group of Spanish and Cuban conspirators, with headquarters in New York
 "One of the plotters weakened and sent a warning letter to a member of the Re- publican national committee. That letter was placed in the hands of Secretary Charles Dick; he referred it to Chairman B. B. Odel of the New York State conn mittee for Investigation. Chairman Odell engaged a detective, who speedily verified certain important allegations made in the warning letter. Thereupon MT. Odell re- ported to Secretary Dick, who laid the facts before Chairman Mark Hanna.
 MT. Odelrs report caused great alarm among the Presidents close friends and ad- visers.
 MT. Odell made it plain that he regarded
