CITY Il AGAIN QUIET.
Night Passes at Evansville, Ind, and
No Trouble Occurs-Troops
i'm Control Of Town.

Evansville, Ind, July 9.-This city
has passed the first quiet night fok
months. With 400 soldiers camped
around the courthouse and jail and in
the park on the river bank any dispo-
s1tion toward lawlessness was sup
pressed. Not a gun was fired during
the night and no street gatherings were
seen. In the morning the bugle calls
echoed over the city as the troops were
awakened for the days routine. The
men were fed at the hotels. Brig. Gen.
Mckee Is practically in control of the
city. The troops will be held here, it is
believed, till Thursday or Friday morn
Ing. No time for their return has been
fixed. When this company scatters to
the homes of it's members some trouble
is feared in individual cases due to the
feeling against the troops. The gen.
eral feeling among business interests
and influential citizens is that the SOL
diers, in firing into the mob, did only
what was necessary and their duty.
Business is partially suspended, all
saloons are closed and several fac
tories have shut down.
The first Of the victims were buried
in the afternoon. Five funerals will
be held Thursday. It is believed there
will be three other deaths at least,
making the total dead IL or more. The
effect of the funerals is dreaded and this

INJUNCTION IS GRANTED.
United States Circuit Judge Makes
Ruling of Great Importance
to Diamond ImpOrters

New York, July 9.-Judge J. Brown,
in the United States circuit court for
the district of Rhode Island, has rem
dered the opinion in his decision
whereby a diamond importing firm of
Providence is granted temporary in
junction restraining the collector OF
that port from returning to New York
certain diamonds pursuant to direc-
tons issued by the secretary of the
treasury. The compliments assert that
they were subjected to long delays be-
fore gaining possession of their goods,
occasioned by sending the stones back
to New York to be passed upon by ex-
perts, and alleged that competitive deal
ers were called in to examine their mer-
chandise, thus acquiring knowledge Of
their transactions detrimental to their
interests. The opinion of Judge Brown
restricts the collector from removing
any merchandise from the limits of a
port of entry. 1t is considered of great
Importance by the dealers owing to the
vigorous campaign recently carried on
by the treasury department in the mat
ter of diamond appraisement at the
smaller ports of entry.

PROGRESS IS SLOW.
No More Bodies OF Oakford Park, Pa,
Flood Victims Yet Rec
=, ~ covered. .'@-E" '>

Jeanette, Pa. July 9.-The search
for bodies of victims of the Oakford
Park food is progressing but slowly, and
scarcely anything has been done to
clear up the wreckage that is scattered
for miles from Oaford park down to
Manor. This is due to the scarcity of
labor and the absence of a duly consti-
tuted committee for the work. Manager
Best, of the Western Land and Improve
ment company, has assumed charge and
has posted notices asking for several
hundred men to assist in clearing the
debris. About rs men were put
to work Wednesday morning on a sys-
tematic search. The recovered bodies
number 20, with 20 still missing.
In looking over the valley, which
was wrecked by the flood, it is observ-
able that great damage was done at
score of places. Aside from Oakland
park and the business center of jean
nette, the greatest wreck of property
was in the lower part of Penn Station,
one mile west of here. At least so
families were rendered homeless. They
are the laboring people, and their house.
hold goods were all destroyed or washed
away. No less than ten houses were
swept off their foundations.
All the food-strcken people are NOV
ing away, or have found shelter in the
homes of their hilltop neighbors. Mud
and filth was washed into the houses,
which will more than likely engender
disease without prompt disinfection.

committee, has issued an appeal for
