V Knights of Labor put a Combine Under the Ban. ; Philadelphia, July 7. The general ve board of the Knights of Labor"ha issued to the order a list of every 1500 cloth-ing and dry goods stores in different (parts of the country that are handling the product of the Rochester, N. Y., combine, which is under the boycott of the order, with the an-nouncement that as the dealers in question refuse to handle the clothing of the combine their names will be transferred to the fair list. The --announcement also says that the combine has made arrangement to. started agencies throughout the couutryto sell their goods, and calls upon every uis-tri- ct assembly to appoint committees to visit all dealers in their respective localities and renew the boycott warning. Officers of the order are also instructed to give widaspread notice in advance of the arrival of the com-bine agents in order that the dealers may know the true state of affairs and be pre-pared to join with the order in rebuking the authors of what is characterized as ihe "arbitrary acts ane edicts of a combine , at war alike with the just rights of the honest workman, and the laws and institutions of the country." This is the most extensive , boycott that has ever taken place under the auspices of the order. THE FINAL MOVE IS MADE. The Government Wants the Escheated Property Turned Over. THE UNFORTUNATE TAILORS. Another Attachment Placed on Their Stock Judgments Entered In the Third District Probate Proceedings. The final move in the escheat proceedings against the church was reached in the ter-ritorial supreme court this morning, when Mr. Varian filed the following motion for all of the escheated real estate to be turned over to the secretary of the interior: Now comes the United States of America and by its attorney general and district at-torney for the district of Utah, gives tha court here to understand that all of the real estate heretofore surrendered to the re-ceiver appointed by this court, and particu-larly described in the certificates of the clerk of the Third judicial district court for the territory of Utah, hereunto annexed and made a part hereof, was, on -- about the "15th day of December, 1S91, by the final judgment of the said district court, adjudged to be escheated to the United 8tates of America; that said judgments are how in full force and unreversed, ns appears by the certificates of the clerk of the court hereunto annexed. Now, therefore, the United States moves the court for an order directing its receiver herein to deliver the possession of said real estate and the whole thereof unto the secre-tary of the United States, to be disposed of as by law provided. Charles S. Varian, District Attorney for Utah. W. II. II. Miller, Attorney General. The property referred to is the Gardo house, Tithing yards and church farm, in this city, and the coal fields situated near Coal-ville. W. H. Dickson, in behalf of the church, ftfked that no order be made at present, as the defendant intended to carry all of the cases up to the supreme court of the United States. On motion of Judge Judd, H. A. Smith of Michigan, was admitted to practice. The hearing in the case of Fisk vs Stephens, which was set for tomorrow, was continued until Aucust 4, aud the court then adjourned until August 3. The Unfortunate Tailors. The London Tailoring company are real-izing the truth of the old saying that it never rains but it pours. Yesterday W. P. Ellison &, Sons of Philadelphia, sued the tailors to recover some $1300, and followed this up by putting an attachment on the es-tablishment. Today J. H. Lesher & Co. of Chicago, brought suit against the tailors to recover $058 and interest, aud they, too, obtained an attachment. The actions will doubtless result in the defendant going to the wall. Court Notes. In the case of W. J. Slee vs. O. R. Zlpf, Judgment has been entered for the plaintiff for $1345.25. In the case of H. L. Driver vs. W. M. Harkins, judgment was today entered for the plaintiff for $1661.90. In the case of L. S. Whitehead vs. Vi'm. Litchfield et al., in which Commissioner Grcenman recently gave judgment for. the plaintff for $123.85, the defendants huve taken an appeal to the Third District court. SAWBONES EXCITED. A Medical Council Cancels a Practitioner's Certificate. New York, July 7. A dispatch from Lou-don says: Physicians and 6urgeocs and members of the medical profession through-out the country are considerably excited over the bitter fight which is now being waged by the general medical council, an organization which has absolute authority over the issuing and revoking of certificates to all the physicans and surgeons of Great Britain, against Dr. T. R. Allinsou, a vener-able physician of great repute. Some time ago Dr. Allinson allied himself with the radical movement and was induced to inaugurate a department in a radical paper of immense circulation, and in which he gave replies to letters addressed to him by poor people regarding methods of treat-ment for various complaints. This was re-garded by the council as coining within what its code designates a "infamous con-duct" contrary to the rules and practice of the profession; and at an ex parte meeting two" weeks ago it was decided by the coun-cil to cancel his certificate, and remove his name from the roll of practitioners. This action created an immense outcry in radical circles. A national conference of Dr. Allison's friends was hurriedly called, and it was de-cided to appeal to the courts and fight the case to the bitter end. The case came up in the court of the queen's bench before Baron Pollock and Justice Vaughan Williams on an application for a temporary injunction restraining the council trom publishing its decision until the issue had been fully argued in court. The council was represented by eminent lawyers who cited in their evidences of in-famous conduct the fact that in the news-paper in question the doctor had advici a man who was suffering from warts to go to a chemist and have caustic applied, the council holding that he should have in-structed applicant to go to a medical man. The judges-listene- to the opposing law-yers with evident impatience and stopped the argument by granting the injunction asked tor. SENATORIAL MEDIOCRITY. Both Parties Trying to Make Capital Out of the Homestead Eiots. REPUBLICANS RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. So Says Voorhees No, They Are Not, Re-plies Hale In the Meantime Whither are we Drifting ? Washington, July 7. Senate The discus-sion on the labor troubles was con-tinued today by Senators Palmer, Voorhees,;; Hale, Galinger, Stewart and Sanders. Palmer mentioned the fact that the workingmen at Homestead had spent their lives in their line of work and had the right to insist on permanency of employment and a reasonable compensa-tion. At the time of the assault oa them they were where they had the right to be. He urged that some principle to solve the problem should be sought. If capital was the master and the people were the slaves then the country must be involved in an-archy. Voorhees made a fiery speech, in which he attributed the labor difficulties to the repnb-- lican policy of high protection. Hale re-plied, denying that the republican party was responsible for the trouble, claiming the credit to the building up of such indus-tries as those at Homestead and Bethleham due to that party. Finally resolutions for the investigation of the Homestead troubles were referred to the committee on contingent. The conference reports were agreed to on the Indian and postollice appropriation bills' and on the bill as to the funding act of Ari-zona. The senate is now considering the sundry civil bill. HOUSE. Washington, July 7. The senate free sil-ver bill was referred to the committee on coinage, weights and measures this mora-- inr without an objection. The anti-option- s bill was referred back to the senate without amendment by the senate committee on judiciary. The judiciary committee ordered a favor-able report to be made on the Williams revo-lution, providing for a congressional inves-tigation of the Homestead trouble. The house will have a respite from a fur-ther struggle over the silver bill for a few days. As a result of an agreement reaehed last night Tracy this morning permitted the bill, which has been on the speaker's table all the week, to be referred to the coinage committee without op-position. A call has been issued by Chairman Bland for a meeting of the coin-age committee ;for tomorrow morning, to consider the senate free coinage bill. All the voting members of the "committee are in Washington except McKeighan of Ne-braska, who is expected this evening or to-morrow morning. Bland does not believe it will be necessary to have sittings of thexommittee during the sessions of the house, but in order to be prepared for such a contingency he will introduce the resolu-tion now before the rules committee giving the committee such authority. The anti-silv- er democrats profess an amazing degree of confidence today in their ability to beat the bill; but under the surface it is nearly apparent that a deep seated fear of some adverse action of the committee on rules prevails and they dread a cloture above all things. They hope to prevent the bill from coming to a vote, but insist if it does they can defeat it. Of course this can only be done by the aid of republi-can votes. When it comes to that pass'J however, they will vote strongly'againstthis measure II it shall he made clear to them that they can thereby defeat it and reap the credit for the defeat. The committee on rules this morning met and decided to report the rule making to-morrow suspension day. This rule was adopted later in the house. SOCIETIES OF CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR. The Great Christian Convention Called to Order Today by Dr. Clark in Now York. New York, July 7. Standing' room was t a premium in the great Madison Square garden today upon the occasion of the open-ing of the international convention of the Young People's Societies of Christian En-deavor. The doors were opened at 11 o'clock and for the three following hours there was a steady inflow of humanity into the great auditorium. As each state delegation headed by its state banner - marched in upon the floor it was greeted with enthusiastic applause by those already on the scene. The Illinois delegates were among the first to arrive, then came those from Massa-chusetts. Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Cali-fornia, Michigan and other states. The delegates from Africa. Australia, Brazil, Alaska, Tnrkey and the islands of the Pacific ftud Canada were given Beats upon the plat-form. The arrival of the itev. Dr. F. J5. Clark, pastor of - the Congregational church of Wiliestou, Me., who organized the first Christian Endeavor society eleven years ago, and who is now at the head of the united society, was the signal for a great demon-stration. The opening session of the great convention was called to order at half past 2 o'clock by Dr. Clark, and after a brief ses-sion of prayer and praise several addresses of welcome in behalf of New York City and Brooklyn were delivered by representatives of different denominations. The honor of responding fell to Rev. Merrill D. Gates, JLL. D. of Amherst college who heartily con-gratulated the delegates upon the line ap-pearance they presented and reviewed the growth of the organization, aud that it prophesied would continue to prosper until it embraced every christian of every sect. The convention then jroceededto consider the annual reports of the various officers of the united societies. Tonight President Clark will deliver his annual address and the convention sermon will be delivered. In his address President Clark will say ttiat in response to a demand that cannot be denied he will start next month oa his journey, around the world, and which it is expected will result in still X . . .... luimcr exienuinir me range ana innueuce of the society. The annual report of the general secretary says that the constitution of the society has been translated into all the important languages of the world. The organization is growing rapidly in Brazil, Turkey, India and Africa, while it has sent missionaries to Samoa and New Guinea. Provisions have been made for overflow meetings near the trarden as the structure ias been found inadequate for the accom-modation of the 20,000 delegates. The cou-- i veulion is not held for legislative purposes, nor will there be any election. Its only ob-- t ject is to promote the interest of the church in all religious matters and to promote ereater activity ou the part of members of Hhe society in the different churches to which they belong in all lines of christian work and benevolence.

STRIKERS FLUSHED WITH VICTORY There Will be a Conflict Between Work--, men and Militia if Brought Tog-ethe- Pittsburg, July 7. A deputy who re-turned from Ilomstcad this morning, says the taking of militia to that place will surely bring about a conflict. The men are flushed with yesterday's success and are unreason-able. A double force of policemen is on duty in this city to provide for an emer-gency in the way of turbulence among the idle crowds in the streets. The home of II. C. Frick was guarded by private detectives last night. Others are keeping personal guard over their homes. Lovejoy, secretary of the Carneeie Steel company, said this morning that the company could do nothing until the sheriff restored to its possession its property. - He added, the time for a con-ference with the men has gone by, but those who wished would be given work individ-ually. A NIGHT OF TERROR. The Terrible Riots of '7 7 Pale Before the Awful Dolags of Yesterday. Homestead, Pa., July 7. After a lengthy conference of amalgamated leaders a meet-ing of locked-ou- t men was called at 4 o'clock yesterday. It was attended by 1000 men, many of whom carried muskets. The Nat-ional officer of the amalgamation made a strong appeal to the men while cannons roared outside. President Weike pleaded with the men to withdraw and assured them that the barges containing the deputies would be immediately removed. P. H. Mc-Ive- r, of the Mahoning and Shenango valley district, said: "There has been an awful slaughter of human life here today, and by all means a further sacrifice should be avoided. I am a stranger in this'town, but from today's action I know full well if you continue doing as you are the militia will be ordered out be-fore dark and you will be defeated." o' DOS Xell's appeal. K 4l;. ; . . . . . T . : .J . : house, says as soon as the men attempted to run out on the gangplank, a shot was fired from the shore. . olley after volley was fired. Wishart says ho became angry, and seizing a rifle himself began firing at the crowd on the shore. After the wounded had been taken to Port Perry the boat returned and Wishart 6ays that by that time the strik-ers bad gained the vantage points in every direction and poured in shot in an uncom-fortable manner. A number of them were on tbe bridge roof. When the boat reached the wharf in this city this afternoon bun. dredsof people surrounded her and began taking chips and digging bullets out for relics. Of bullet there are great plenty, the sides of the vessel having been riterally rid-dled. WILL BE TRIED FOB MURDER. Pittsburg, July 7. A visit to the Union station revealed the fact that the Pinkerton detectives who arrived in this city at 2:30 this morning will not be taken from the city but will be held at the Pennsylvania yards under strong guard until they can be re-moved to the county jail to await trial for murder. DIED IX the jail. Pittsburo, July 7. Last evening a lengthy secret conference was held between C. L. McGee, II. C. Frick, Sheriff McCleary, W. J. Brennan and others. At its conclusion a special train and the party, excepting Frick, went to Homestead. The object of the mission is not known. A dispatch re-ceived says that one of the Pinkertons died in the lockup from the effects of injuries re-ceived on the march from the boat to tha jail. Another is expected to die. GOVERNOR PATTISON'S OPINION. Harrisrcrg, Penn., July 7. Governor Pattison said last evening that he did not contemplate any further action at present. Tbe feeling about the capital is that an at-tempt is being made to shift the responsi-bility. Adjutant-Genera- l Greenland is ia communication with General John A. Wiley, commander of the Second brigade of.troops. If found necessary to restore order they will be concentrated at Homestead on short notice. ELEVEN IN THE HOSPITAL. Homestead, Penn., July 7. At midnighfr- - Homestead, Pa., July 7. Homestead is strangely silent this morning. It is the quiet of sober afterthought. The leaders are wondering what will be the next step. The men are bathing their wounds and pre-paring for a pouring of lead. The leaders prorjose to have the fence around Carnegie's property rebuilt, and repair all other dam-age done by yesterday's riot, with the view of preventing: suits by the company. The guards to look after the interest of the company were renewed, much to the sur-prise here, over the release by the sheriff and the sending away of the Pinkerton guards. Wheu the workmen agreed to not kill them it was understood that the guards would be placed in jail until an information for murder could be sworn out against them. The report of their release EXCITED MUCH ANGRY DISCUSSION at first, but it quieted down when the men remembered that if they appeared against the Pinkertons as witnesses they themselves would be liable to prosecution for riot. The feeling then became one of relief that no legal complications would arise out of yes-terday's bloodshed. The call of the sheriff for a posse was re-ceived with good-nature- d derision as they were confident a posse could not be collected. The men this morning removed tho barri-cades and restored things to their noriaal attempted to address the crowd, but in-stantly there was a loud report and with one accord every man rushed pell-me- ll to the scene. Even while appeals were being made men were endeavoring to pump oil on the barges. It was useless to continue the meet-ing. An hour later, while tho men were waitiDg for nightfall to burn the barges and the men in them, Hugh O'Donnell, a leader of the strikers, grasped the American flag and, mounting a pile of iron, made an im-passioned speech for mercy for the Pinker-tons, who were lying like caged wolves in the barges. The extraordinary power of O'Donnell over the strikers was manifest at once. A few people demurred and cried out, "Let's burn them," but they were silenced. turn them over to the sheriff. "Let's turn them over to the sheriff and make an information for murder against them," said the leader. This was received with cheers and when the strikers waived their hats and asked the Pinkertons to sur-render, there was an immediate response from the boat In a short time the leader of the strikers came on deck. Then began a strange scene. The strikers crowded the boats, captured the rifles and looted every- - thing. They were mad with rage. The first man taken off the barge was dying, having been shot through the side. Then one by one tbe strikers followed in charsre of an al-leged guard, each man carrying a valise. The guards carried Winchesters, taken from the Pinkertons. Six Pinkertons were re-peated kyied and many dangerously wound-ed. The guards took the men a mile to the rink. There were 200 of them, and prob- - last night a special train came in from Pitts-burg in charge of Sheriff McCleary, and the Pinkerton men were sent to the county jail. President "Weike and Hugh O'Donnell counseled moderation and the strikers did not again meet the guards, most of whom were badly injured. Eleven were sent to the hospital on their arrival at Pitts-burg. ADLAI SPEAKS. Chicago, July 7. Adai E. Stevenson, democratic candidate for vice-preside- ar-rived in the city last night. When the above dispatches about the Homestead trouble were shown him he declined to talk about it further than to say it demonstrates the fact that high tariff affords no protection to the laboring men and never bettors their condition. A BITTER FEFLIXG PREVAIL3. , Philadelphia, July 7. Among the dif-ferent labor organizations a bitter feeling prevails over the introduction of Pinker-ton- 's at Homestead. From the headquart-ers of the American Federal Labor Union a card was issued last evening for an indig-nation meeting Friday evening. powderly's mouth closed. Omaha, "July 7. Before leaving for the east yesterday morning General Master Workman Powderly was seen by an Associ-ated Press representative, and speaking of the Homestead riot said he could not talk until he knew more about it, - - APPEALING TO THE GOVERNOR. ' " v The Sheriff at Homestead I.eaTe tho Mat-- , ter With Governor Pattison. - "' confident of their power and while they are determined to preserve the peace locally they will brook no outside interference. The funeral services over the remains of John M. Morris, Anthony Waynd and Peter Fares who were killed in yesterday's fight, were held this afternoon. The remains were followed to the graves by a large concocrse. strikers to be arrested. Secretary Lovejoy, of the Carnegie Steel company, says a number of strikers will be arrested charged with murder. He declares that the last outbreak has settled one thing, and that is,, that hereafter no union men will be employed by the Carnegie company, and that other mill owners will probably follow its example. BATTERED, BRUISED AND BLEEDING The Awful Vengeance Wreaked on the Pinkertons by a Crazed Mob. Pittsburg, July 7. Sheriff McCleary, in addition to a proclamation last evening call-ing on all good citizens to appear armed at his office this morning, sent out a number of personal summonses to the same effect early today. Neither the proclamation nor the summonses had much effect. At 9 o'clock the hour mentioned, only one man had appeared under the general proclama-tion, and of 105 men personally summoned only twelve responded. As it was apparent that a sufficiently large ally by the time they reached the impro-vised jail. They claim that they were miser-ably misled; that they came from different towns, were strangers to each other and had been told they were wanted as watchmen. They huddled in the rink, absolutely terror 6tricken, fearing lynching from the immense crowd of people gathered outside. ONE BRAVE PINKERTON MAN. Among the scenes and incidents attending the surrender and landing of the di?comtit-te- d guards from the barges was one spe-cially worthy of note, as it shows the brav-ery of one of the Pinkerton men. As he reached the river bank with his companions they were assailed from all sides by the angry crowd. In a shower of stones and missiles of all kinds the man separated him-self from the others and begged for a hear-ing. In the silence which followed he said: Fellow Citizen: When I came here I did not understand the situation or I would lever have come. I was told I was to meet and deal with foreigners. I had no idea I was to fight American citizens. I am a mem-ber of the junior order and appeal to you for permission to leave and get myself out of this terrible affair. The crowd cheered him aud he proceeded unmolested. dynamite used freely. The scenes in the afternoon on the hills back of Homestead and as far as the eye could see were dotted with human beings. With every shot from the strikers they craned their necks, hoping only to see a ehastly result. The Pinkertons were hors Pitsburg, July 7. The sheriff again tele-graphed the governor at noon saying that all his means were exhausted and he left the matter in the hands of the governor. Three of the injured workmen are in a precarious coudition, and death is expected at any moment, their names are William Foy, George Ritter and Richard Durham. The physician who examined the wounded Pinkertons says the hands of most of them bear evidence of hard work. Several told him that they were mill men who came here for the purpose of working and not fighting. There are now twenty-seve- n wounded Pink-ertons in the hospital. Michael Connas, one of the number, died of his wounds thia morning. He came from New York City. Ed Jacover, another, will also probably die. , To Strike at Carneicie'a Purse. Chicago, July 7. A committee of tha ' Amalgamated Iron and Steel associations ( from Pittsburgh, is here to confer with the workmen in the building trades with the view to boycotting all iron and steel from, the Carnegie works at Homestead if non-union men are put to work. They were wellj received and the course asked will probably- - be complied with. Similar committees werori sent to other large cities and a general build-- ing tie up is not improbable. j A False Alarm. Pittsburg, July 7. Some excitement was occasioned at 5 o'clock thia morning by the : report that another steamer was going up the river with men. Investigation provei it a false alarm. The boat was merely get-ting up steam to tow some coal barges-dow- n the river. . . a iorce couia not De got togetner, tne Bnerin decided to postpone his trip to Homestead until tomorrow. In the meantime he will issue additional summonses. Much reluctance is shown by the citizens about going to Homestead where they know a fight would await them. In this city and Alleghany there are three thousand members of the Amalgamated association who of course would not march against their fellow Workmen. The figures at the sheriff's office show sixteen killed and sixty-tw- o wounded, six of whom will die, making the total larger than that of the riots of 1877. The names of the sixteen are not given, how-ever, and it is believed the statement is in-accurate. What is believed to be a complete list of the dead makes tho total ten, of whom six are workmen and four Pinkertons, as follows: workmen. JOHX MORRIS; ANTHONY WAYNE; THOMAS WELDIN; HENRY 8TRIEGEL; JOHN FARES; JOSEPH SOPPO. " pinkertons. J. W. KLINE; EDWARD CONNERS. Two names are unknown. The men were de combat and their warring purely passive. The strikers had a cannon, wtich they tried to train on tbe boats, but each shot flew wide of the mark. Finally, the cannon burst, and then they resorted to dynamite. Great chunks of it were thrown at the boat, most of which only splashed the water. Occasionally it struck the roof, but exploded upward and only left a white breath of smoke. One lucky shot struck the stern end of a barge and made a gapiug opening which served as an objective point for fu-ture throws, but was always missed. Other shots ripped great sections of the open deck. Previous to this they had tried to fire the boats by pouring barrels of oil on the water and igniting it, but after wasting half a tank they gave this up as futile. They took a long section of hose and tried to pipe Carne-gie & Co.'s gas to the boats to blow up the company's protectors. Time aud again they tried it, each attempt proving a failure, while the spectators and strikers awaited the result with bated breath. Meanwhile the Pinkertons WERE HUDDLED UNDER THE DECK dragging in the dead and caring for the wounded, waiting for what seemed certain doom, as all overtures of surrender had been refused. Late in the afternoon, down the Pemickey trestle, marched 1000 brawny sons of toil, waring at the head of the col-umn the American flag. They were work-men from Jones fc Laughlin's mill coming to tender sympathy and encouragement to their locked out brethren. Then William Weike, of the Amalgamated as-- snoi auu ieii overuoaru. THE INJURED. Eleven workmen are severely hurt, six of whom may die and twenty-fiv- e others are slightly injured. Those in danger of dying are: George Retter, Kichari Durham, Wm. Foy, Henrt RrsiSKi, Andy Cudia, Chas. Daeska. Nearly every one or the Pinkertons are more or less hurt. Seventeen of them are suffering from many wounds. The remainder bear evidence in the way of cuts, bruises, swollen heads and faces of the rough treatment they received at tbe hands of - THE ENRAGED WORKMEN when they surrendered last evening and came out of ' the boats. The application of fists, clubs, stones and brick-bats a they passed through . the crowd left them in a horribly battcred-u- o condition, but it is not believed that any of them will die from the effect of the' coaling they re-ceived. The men came mostly from Chi-cago, New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Boston. All of tbera except those in the hospital, who were unable to go, left foT New York this morning on a special train, on the Pennsylvania road. Every man of sociation came with a truce proposition from Sheriff McCleary, who offered to send the boat and two-barg- away if the men would cease firing. AGREE UPON AN ARMISTICE. - Finally they agreed to and at 5:30, as told elsewhere, the Pinkertons were allowed to come ashore. Xo sooner had the guards reached the river's bank than the barges were charged on by the crowd of men, women and children. Cooking utensils, beddine, etc.," were handed over to the women and children, while the men seized on a large store' of rifles and ammunition. These rifles are all of the finest pattern and in perfect condition, and with a quantity of ammunition were a great acquisition to the strikers. After the barges had been thor-oughly looted they were fired and soon burned to the 'water's edge. LITERALLY RIDDLED WITH BULLETS. Pittsburg, Pa., July 7. CaDtain William Rogers who contracted to tow the two barges down to Homstead, and Captain William Wishart, commander of the tow boat "Little Bill," tell thrilling stories of their experience up tne river yesterday. Both agreed in the story already told by McMur-ra- y that the first shots were fired by the strikers and not returned by the Pinkertons until three of their number bad been j stretched on the deck of the vessel. Captain Wiehart, who wa la tho-- pilot - POLICE COURT. - A tight Day Before Salt Lake's Chief Mag-istrate. Matters in police court were quiet this morning, the personnel of the mill of ju tice being engaged in discussing the evi, dence in the recent police investigation and?, speculating as to who would be appointed sergeant to succeed George Sheets. ," Tbe court finally got down to work an.'l dismissed the case against Kclpack and Kempton who were arrested a day or two since charged with disturbing the peace.. i. David James, a small young man weigh; sixty-fou- r pounds, then appeared to plead guilty to the charge of being drunk. ' He had no excuse whatever for his conduct ex-cepting that he was from the mountains and that he was little but oh, Jerusalem. He was fined $5. Chas. Smith was fined $2 for leaving his team unhitched and the court adjourned. Preparing for Xew York Campaign. New York, July 7. There is a notable gathering of republican leaders here for the appointment of the republican national ex-ecutive committee and the discussion of ways aud means of carrying next fall's elec-tion. Among those present are: Senator John Sherman, Chairman G. T. Campbell, Secretary J. W. Foster, General Alger, Postmaster-Genera- l Wanam iker, Whitelaw Keid. T. S. Clarkson, Chauncey Depew, Thomas C. Piatt. The executive committee will not be made public till late this after-noon. The chairman will be an eastern man. The brunt of the fight will be centered in Xew York state. Logaxsport, Ind., July 7. S. P. Sheehan, secretary of tho democratic national com-mittee, has issued a notice for a meeting of the committee to organize for the campaign in Xew York on July 20. POSTAL DECISIONS. Postmaster Benton in Receipt of a Number of the Latest. Postmaster Benton is in receipt of a num-- ' ber of important rulings from the depart-- ' ment at Washington which are of interest to the public. The first of these is in relation to news- - paper wrappers and is as follows: , ' "Publishers of second-clas- s matter have the right to print or write on the wrappers thereof requests for its return if not deliv-ered within a given time, and postmasters are required to comply with such requests." Another decision is of importance and reads: "Contractors and mail carriers have no right to refuse to carry packages of mail-able matter which, on accout of size and sIht ape, cannot be put into the mail pouch. is their duty to carry the mail, and every part thereof." Whether this is so worded as to compel each carrier to transport bulky packages ia undecided. The decision does not, probably, apply in such cases else the carrier would be burdened down at times and the " service hampered. ' The following section is of importance to police officers and others: '. ; "Letters addressed to a convict serving a term of imprisonment, should be delivered . to the warden or other officer . .joba..' the prisoner. Letters addressed to a person imprisoned to await trial upon indictment. or pending indictment, should be delivered according to the order - of the person addressed, at any time before conviction and sentence. If such a person were released on bail no question would arise; and, as the law presumis every person to be innocent until convicted by a jury, his inability to give bail ought not to deprive him of the right to control the cor-respondence addressed to him through the mail.

The election campaign grows more wild and exciting daily.

The Chamber of Commerce of Minneap-olis vs. Railways. Dri.CTH, Minn., July 7. Today in Wash-ington begins a hearing before the full te commerce commission of what has Deen designated by officers of the commis-io- n as the most important case ever before it. It is the chamber of commerce of Min-neapolis azainst several railways that run through that city to Duluth and virtually Jetties the question as to whether the flour milling supremacy of America is to be re-tained by Minneapolis or taken by Duluth. In the hearing the millers of southern Min-nesota, the grainmen and millers of Milwau-kee and the grainmen, millers and chamber f commerce of Duluth are intervenors on the idc of Duluth. Because of the distance tf Minneapolis from water transportation to ;he east at Duluth, and because wheat is brought to the one place at the same freight charge as to the other, Minneapolis is at a (isad vantage of 15 centa a barrel in compet-ing with Duluth. ThiB difference was never aoticed at Minneapolis until the last year, Khrn the rapid increase of milling at Duluth began to shut down the other city's mills. Jvow Duluth grinds bOOO barrels of flour Jaily and is building capacity for 16.000 barrels more. Miller Pillsbury of Minneap-olis, swore before the preliminary hearing a lew days ago that unless they had relief the milling, elevator and jobbing trade of would be ruined in a' very short lime. So in this case the city by St. 's Falls is virtually fighting for life. --m- H. CLAY KING MUST HANC. Tennessee's Supreme Court Says August 13 is His Last Day. Jackson, Tenn., July 7.

Ogden Easily Defeats Denver In an Inter-esting Itase Hall Game Van Heest Wants to Fight Notes. ' The prospect for a meeting between the Salt Lake and Provo boat clubs is excellent, and it is believed that a contest will take place this month at Garfield Beach. J. W. Pike, representing the Garden City oars-men, is in town, and has had a long talk with Captain Milt Barratt in reference to the matter. A good regatta with the crack oars-men of both clubs as contestants, would be a big drawing card. Ogdei Wins. The Denver and Ogden teams met at the Junction city grounds yesterday afternoon, and the Colorado boys were defeated by a score of 13 to, 3. A heavy rain storm made the grounds unfit for playing and the game was uninteresting. The Delivers will return to Salt Lake and play another game with the home team before going east. Sporting Splinters. Snnol trotted a quarter in 32 seconds at Meadville, Pa., last week. The iext contest at the California club will bf between Danny Xeedham and George Dawson. Jimmy Carroll has refused to meet Billy Maher, the Australian light-weigh- t. He wants u fight the winner of the Myers-Mc-Aulif- fe tght. The gate receipts the day the Grand Prix was run in France, amounted to about 30,000. Tom Lane, who rode the winner, was presented with $11,600. The value of the race was $50,200. The Paris mutuals did a business amounting to $675,000 that day. Quite a delegation of Salt Lakers will go to 'Friscd towards the end of the month to wit- - ncss the fight between Jim llliBtns of this city aud Turner of California, which comes off on July 28th. They will takejtheir money with them, and every dollar of it will go up on Jim. Joe Goddard's victory over the "Mission Boy" has evidently turned his head. He now announces that he will challenge the winner of the Sullivan-Corbe- tt fight Carl Smith, says in the San Francisco Chronicle that Goddard cannot stand in a ring with any scientific man with heart and heft-John- Van Heest says he is willing to fight Dixon or McCarthy, Dixon preferred, ,lf a suitable place be offered, under the con-ditions which the Dickson-Johnso- n fight took place. In reference to weight, Van Heest says he will scrap at 117 or 118 pounds, to weigh in at 3 o'clock on the day of the fight. A London cablegram is to the effect that tbe National Sporting club refuses to give any purse or have any connection with the contest between Ted Pritchard and Jem Hall, who are to fight for 2000, at 153 pounds, August 22, on account of Charley Mitchell being a er of Hall. Neither will it suspend the rule which debarred Mitehell from tbe club. It is probable that the Ken-sington Social or the Ormonde club may of-fer a small purse.

There is a possibility that some litigation may occur over the flowing well on the Rudy farm which has been put down by the Salt Lake Gas Company. It seems that at a depth of 901 fett an immense flow of water was struck and that it has since been poui-in- g out at a rapid rate, The contract be-tween the company and Rudy specified gas and oil but no water, and Rudy, it is said, will claim the water as his own. a State Building Partially Burned.

A STORY OF BARNUM, The Odd Idea Which Was So Very Profi-table to Two. An exchange gives an illustration of Bar-nam- 's ingenious methods of attracting on to his museum, among which may be mentioned the indident of the "brick man." One day a man applied for alms to Barnum, who was sitting In the ticket of-fice. To the inquiry as to why he did not-g-to work, the mendicant replied that ho would gladly do bo at a dollar & day, if he could find employment, Barnum gave him twenty-fiv- e cents to get his breakfast and told him to return and he would give him, $1.50 a day and easy work. When the man returned Barnum gave him five bricks and told him to place one in front of tho mu-seum, another on the corner of Vesey street, a third at tbe corner of Fulton, on tho St. Paul's church side, and the fourth on tho east corner of Fulton. . Returning then to the museum he was to take up the fir6t brick and replace it with the fifth and then continue his rounds, putting down one brick and taking up the other each time. He was enjoined to ask no questions and to seem not to hear, and at the end of each three-quarte- of an hour he was to pass into the museum, look around at the curiosities for fifteen minutes and then resume his rounds with the bricks. Barnum said that the man played his part to per-- lection, ana his eccentric couauci cause u a great crowd to gather at the museum. Many of these, of course, went into the museum to seek some explanation as to the purpose of the "brick man." This was kept up for several days, until the police re-quested his withdrawal, because such crowds lingered" about the museum that traffic was interrupted. A Papal Manifest. London, July 7.
