up in the cell at night, but managed to
pick the lock in some way aud get out in
the corridor and went to work on the brick
wall in the water closet and by daylight,
was almost through aud would have been
out in ten minutes longer but the deputy
jailor coming in rather early that morning,
he had TO desist and get back into his cell
but as II was found unlocked and locks
gene also from the other two cells, the
Sheriff made an investigation and found the
work of "making way for liberty" and
stopped it and has kept Uphold locked up
in his cell ever since. He has had a long
siege in prison here and was getting anxious
to breathe the free air of the mountains
once more but will have to lay here some
time yet. lie will probably be tried at
December Court.

Mayor Ames has decided he will not

said to have a fondness for the mayor 8

portunity to wear that gorgeous brig
adler generals uniform which fits him
so we'll.
The mayors machine is showing signs
of wear. Some of the members of the
police department who were appointed
for work they were capable of doing in
a political way have begun to realize
that there are other than political duties
for policemen to perform. They also be-
heve that year from next January there
will be new mayor and, whether he
be Democrat or Republican, there will
be a fearful shaking up of the present
"reorganized" department. Hence many
of them have ceased to be perniciously
active.

LONDON, July 29.-Man advices re-
ceived here toray from the correspondent
Of the Associated Press at St. Petersburg
glVo details of the expulsion from Rus
sra Oh George KEENAN,, the American au-
thor and lecturer, who, as cabled exclu-
sively to the Associated Press on Friday
last, was called upon at his hotel at st.
petersburg Thursday evening, ard was in
formed by high police official that he
must leave the country by 10 o'clock Fsi-
day evening. Mr.. KEENAN, was Courteous
ly treated, but was not allowed TO leave
his room in the interim. His expulsion
was carried out quietly. He was proyid-
ed with travelling passport, signed by
the chief of the political police and
boarded train for Wirballin, accompa-
MED by an escort. His own passport was
returned to him on his arrival at Wiz
balm The correspondent then says:
Mr.. KEENAN, arrived in St. Petersburg
three weeks ago, after an absence of fit-
teen years. he entered the country by
way OF Finland, on an American pass
port, which had been examined and
signed by the Russian consul at Hull.
Since his arrival here, Mr. KEENAN, has
renewed his old and pleasant ac-
Qualntances, and had collected literary
material. lie was not engaging IN any
political agitation. The Russian press
referred to Mr.. keHnans return courte-
cusly, no paper suggesting that he was
not welcome and he began to feel secure.
About o clock Thursday evening a high
police official placed him under detention
IN his room and read q notice requiring
Mr.. Remnants departure by 10 o. clock Fri
day night. There Is only one eXplana-
ton for Mr.. kennan'S expulsion, which is
that the Russian government has not re-
covered from the effects of his criticisms
OF the Siberian exile system, which has
been greatly modified and restricted since
Mr.. KEENAN, first wrote of 1t. His expul-
sion was simply a question of policy
tude of old friends toward Mr.. KEENAN,.
who was invited to places where the
highest governmental officials were pres
ent."
KEENAN, DID GOOD.
A responsible official of the press de-
partment of the ministry said to \le cor
respondent of the Associated Press on
Mr.. Remnants arrival:
II do not think that anybody here
doubts Mr. Remnants good faith. We be-
lieve he made an honest and sincere In
vestigation of our prisons-exile system
and that he was misled by those
upon. His perspective was wrong. One
can give bad impression Of any country
If one selects the most repulsive subjects
to write about. Personally, | think Mr..
Remnants book did a great deal of good.
Our press is now allowed to discuss the
conditions of exile with a freedom not
dreamed of several years ago. The
shameful conditions prevailing on the ISL
and of Saghalen We're lately exposed
courageously by a st. Petersburg news
paper and the worst abuses have been
corrected"
Mr.. KEENAN, is going to London, and
thence he will go to Nova Scotia.

New York-The Collins & Nolan COM
pany, silk manufacturers, Of Paterson,

who have been on strike. the wage
schedule of 1894, minus Is per cent. These
are the terms demanded by the strikers.
The weavers will resume work tomorrow
at this mill.
New York-It was said at the head
quarters of the striking garment workers
and tailors that no definite day could
be set for the men to return to work
At least 1900 wpuld have gone back
this morning, but\the action of the con-
tractors association in making demands
upon the manufacturers blocked the
programme Until contractors and man
ufacturers reach an agreement a big ma
jority OF the strikers will have to re-
main idle.

WARM TIME AT FELTON,.
Two Claimants for Store Have Sew
ernI Lively Innings

FELTON,. Mimi. July 29.-This village
IS divided in two determined factions as
a result of developments in the settle
ment of the affairs of one of the leading
business firms of FELTON,. Some time ago
Martin Nelson, Of the hardware firm of
Nelson IL Morgan, mysteriously disap-
peared, leaving his business affairs In
bad shape. Louis Gilbert, who was In
charge of the store, has since settled the
accounts of Nelson, and Saturday when
Mrs. Nelson, who has been taking In
washing since Nelson's departure, went
to the store and demanded a voice in the
management, Gilbert refused to recog-
nize her interest. Mrs. Nelson took up
her station in the store, and when Land
lord Byfield attempted to bring her din
ner in to her a hand-to-hand skirmiSh
ensued between him and Gilbert.
The whole town has taken sides in the
matter. Gilbert succeeded in barring out
two young women who endeavored to
take supper to Mrs. Nelson, which so
enraged the supporters Of Mrs. Nelson
that tar and feathers were frequently
mentioned.
Mrs. Nelson was locked in the store
last night, and at 1870 a large crowd of
citizens ATTEMPTED to force an entrance
with bed and provisions for her but
were met by Gilbert and his followers.
Nearly every resident of the village is
gathered in front of the store, and as
each side is dete, mined serious trouble
may result.

MILwAUKEE BREWERS BALx.
Trouble Over Plumbing Likely to
Precipitate War.


MILWAUKEE, Wis. July 29-The Mil
waukee Brewers association late this aft
ernoon unanimously passed a resolution
declaring the contract existing between
that Association and the Milwaukee
Building Trades counsel as terminated
The trouble arose over one Of the brew
cries refusing to recognize the Master
Plumbers association to the extent Of
giving them monopoly of it's business
and prohibiting all competition for
plumbing work. The Brewers associa-
ton took this action after enc Of the
local breweries had been put on the I'M
fair list and upon refusal of the Build
ing Trades council to arbitrate the
trouble
The Building Trades council aft iates
with the Federated Trades council and
lively fight from now on is anticipated
1t remains to be seen whether the
Brewers union will aid the Building
Trades council in it's fight. The Brewers
union will hold a meeting some tine this
week. The Milwaukee Brewers asso-
citation is one of the largest in the coun-
try and for several years past has sign
ed an agreement each year with the
Building Trades council governing all
kinds of work The breweries employ
several thousand union men.
