Anderson recovered from his wound and
a few weeks sines startled the communi

leaving a dummy in his bed and enough
money to close the eyes of some of his
guards. Communications were opened
up between Columbus and Cincinnati
detectives to shadow Anderson's family.
Saturday night a message was received
at headquarters here that Mrs. Ander
son and children had boarded a train
for the northern part of the state.
Detective Pat Kelly boarded a train and

An Exciting Glove Contest.
Santa Clara, Cal., Aug. 31. GeorgsJ
Dixon of Streator, Ills., and Albeit
Corrill, a young Mexican, fought nine
teen rounds with eight-ounce gloves.
Both men were out of trim, and it was
a slugging match from the commence
ment. During the battle their props
flew like the fans of a windmill. Each
obtained a number of knock-downsantl
the visitor won first blood. William A.
Pharis, who was selected as referee,
parted the principals during the battle
when they commenced to clinch. After
one hour and sixteen minutes' fighting,
Referee Pharis decided the fight in favor
of Dixon, as the young Mexican was"
unable to respond to the call of "time."
Both men were bruised about thoir
faces, but as the gloves were heavy the
blows were not very telling.

Tho Legislature in .Extra Session
in CoiiHtnni Attendance.
Nashvillv., Aug. 31 Tho extra ses
sion of the general assembly of len
nessee convened at noon today. Tho
chief'business to coma before the body
is the. settliug of the questions "that have
.grown out of the recont trouble be
tween the miners and convicts at Brice-
ville, referring to tho abolition of the
lease system and to the rebuilding and
enlarging of the state prison. The lease
system, as now operated, yields the state
$100,000 per annum, and if it is abol
ished the extra rate of tho state must bo
increased. There is a strong sentiment
among the members of the assembly
against a change. The military lawij
are to bo changed so as to give the ex
ecutive more power in emergencies liko
that at Briccville. The body will be tu
session twenty days, but it is not
thought the work before it can be at
tended to in that time. If not, an ex
traordinary session will be called. A
committee representing the miners o-f
tho state will be in constant attendance
during the session, their object being
the abrogation of the lease system or
the passage of such laws as will keep
convicts from being sub-leased to any
mining company that will pay for then
services. DAKOTA CROPS.

will case Saturday W. M. Wright, a
banker from Livingston, and David
Lamont. a banker from Dillon. Mont,

who was the legal advisor of the de
ceased. The latter had a conversation
with Cashier Knight of Helena on tho
day of the funeral about the affairs of
the deceased, when Knight, mentioning
the provisions of the will he had drawn,

The Deadly Current.
Grakd Rapids, Mich , Aug. 31. The
current was turned on the west side
bridge street electric railroad yesterday
for the first time, and within an hour a
man and his horse were killed. George
E. Heydern's team became frightened
and ran against a telegraph pole. A
small copper wire strung on the pole
was broken by the shock and fell across
the street railroad trolley wire. The

Less Damage by Fro.it Than Expected
Immsnne Yield of Small Grain
Huron, S. D, Aug. 31. The United
States weather bureau is in receipt of
reports from thirty-one South Dakota
and fifteen North Dakota counties which
show frost to have done les3 damage
than expected. The warm days with
some rain following tho frost greatly
benefited corn and late flax. Corn that
was damaged is cut for fodder. Over
all South Dakota the damage will not
exceed 10 per cent. Thrashing is in
progress, and the yield of wheat and
oats is invariably greater than estimat
ed. In North Dakota th9 harvest is
progressing slowly, grain ripening only
moderately, because of cool weather.
A Caso of Cnrus.
Muskego;.', Mich., Aug. 31. At
Whitehall, near this city, George Beard,
a 3-oung man aged 21, has been confined
to his bed for the past three months,
dnring seven weeks of which time he
has been in .in unconscious condition.
He seems to have lost every sense save
that of feeling. When he i3 touched on
the arm with a slight downward pres
sure he will raise his arm. When an
attempt is made to move his head to tho
right he will move it to the left. In
order to feed the patient four teeth had
to be knocked out, as it was impossible
to open his mouth either to insert food
or extract the teeth. Through thi3
opening ho receives his liquid nourish
ment. The attending physician pro
nounces it a caso of cams.
The "Empress of Japan" Arrives.
Vancouver, B. C., Aug. 31. Tho

passengers and 2-10 Asiatic steerage pas
sengers and 3 000 tons of general cargo.
She left Hong Kong at noon Aug. 11th

Chicago, Aug. 31. It is generally
understood that Jay Gould has virtually
relinquished control of the Union Pa
cific railway, and that a majority of tho
stocks and bonds of tho company havo
been placed in the hands of the bank
mg firm of Drexel, Morgan fc Co. S.
Pierpont Morgan, of that firm, is to be
the leading spirit in the management of
that road hereafter. Sidney Dillon, the
president of the Union Pacific, it is
said, is about to resign his position, and
S. S. Spencer, f ornierly vice president of
the Baltimore and Ohio, and at present
in charge of Drexel, Morgan & Co.'s
railway affairs, is mentioned as Mr.
Dillon's successor. The management of
the company is to undergo a complete
cnang;;. toi binitn, lormerly receiver
of the Kansas Pacific, who has just re
signed the position of general manager
oi tue uenver and iiio uranue. is to
succeed S, H. H. Clark as general man
ager of tho Union Pacific.
I he general opinion is that Drexel.
Morgan & Co. ncouired control of tho
Union Pacific in the interest of the Van
derbilts. Drexel, Morgan & Co. are tho
financial agents of the Vanderbilts and
are also in control of the Chicago. Mil
waukee and St. Paul. This indicates
that a close alliance between tho Union
Pacific and the Chicago and Northwest
ern and tho Chicago. Milwaukee and
St. Paul roads is contemplated. The
Vanderbilts havo lonsr been anxious to
secure a foothold west of the Missouri
river and gain an independent outlet for
their sj'stem of roads to the Pacific
coast. It is not likely thev will ba con
tent with the Union Pacific, but that
they mean to acquire other important
railway systems west of tho Rocky
mountains.
A contest is said to be now in nrocrress
between the Vanderbilt3. the Chicago.
Burlington and Quincv. and the Atchi
son, Topeka and Santa Fe for the pos
ses3ion of the Denver and Rio Grande
road, with tho prospect that the Van
derbilts will carry oft" the plum. Tho
resignation or President Moffat indi
cates that tho Rio Grande is about to
change hands. Mr. Copell, the man
aging director of the company, is un
derstood to be on intimate terms with
the Vanderbilts and Drexel, Morgan &
Co., and will do all in his power to as
sist those parties in gaining control of
the roaii.
If the Vanderbilts succeed in crettinrr
the Rio Grande, it is believed their next
move will be to secure control of the
Southern Pacific, and there are no seri
ous obstacles in tho way of their getting
it. With this road in their control thn
Vanderbilts will be masters of the san
ation and be able to dictate terms to all
other lines, so far as through traffic be
tween the Atlantic and Pacific is con
cerned. It would simply bo carrying
out Gould's and Huntington's original
pian piacmg ail tne roau3 between
Chicago and the Pacific coast nnder the
control of a syndicate of bankers, with
the only difference that instead of the
three banking firms of Kidder, Peabody
& Co., thn Baring Brothers, and Drexel,
juorgan cc uo. being the controlling
nnauciai nouses, tne latter hrm alone
will take care of the finances, and the
system under their control will include
all tho Vanderbilt lines east of Chicago
and St. Louis.
Gould is probably interested in this
scheme and has an understanding with
the Vanderbilts and Drexel, Morgan &
Co. whereby his railroad interests in the
west will receive ample protection.

The Pliimzner Failure.
New York, Aug. 31. A settlement
of the affairs of John t". Plnmmer has
just been effected. His creditors and
those of his brother, Albert F. Plummer,
have fully discharged them from all
claims, retaining, however, all their
rights and claims against William S.
Darling, of the firm. The settlement
was due in part to tho belief held by the
creditors that Mr. Darlinpr had disDOsed
of the greater part of the aisets of the
nrm and also m consequence of a con
cession of certain claims aeaincrt- tha as
signed estate by relatives of the Messrs
Piummers, including tho dowry right
of Mrs. John Plummer. A nnmber of
creditors preferred a cash dividend and
were paid 20 cents on the dollar. Somn
of the largest creditors have taken title
to J. i . Plummer s real estate as their
share.

A aiovement to Secure the Pardon of
Irish Prisoners.
London, Aug. 31. An immense am
nesty meeting was held in Phoenix Park,
Dublin, with tho object of obtaining the
pardon of Irish prisoners under sen tenco
for alleged dynamiting and other crimes
partly of a political character. The
weather was fine and the sun shown
from a cloudless sky. Multitudes at
tended, from Dublin and other cities,
bands of music preceding the arrival of
each delegation. The meeting resolved
that the time had arrived for the re
lease of all political prisoners now un
der penal sentences: that whatever
error they had committed in seeking to
achieve the right by wrongful methods
had been sufficiently atoned for by
their sufferings, and that the govern
ment ought without further delay order
their release. It was voted that copies
of the resolutions should be sent to
Lord Salisbury, Chief Secretary .Bal

Cold iVeek In Iowa.
Des Moines, Aug. 31. The Iowa
weather and crop service bulletin Bays
last week was the coldest August week
experienced in Iowa within twenty
years, the average daily deficiency in
temperature bcincr about 10 dez. Licrht
frosts are reported in all districts in four
days during the week, but only the
tenuerest vegetation has been injured.
The rainfall was light, but sufficient,
and in some localities grain in shocks is
damaged by humidity and cloudiness.
The maturing of corn i3 retarded, and
two or three weeks' favorable weather
is needed to ripen the bulk of the crop.
Abont 30 per cent, of the corn acreage is
too far behind to mature nnder normal
weaaher conditions in the coming
month. Potatoes will show a very
heavy crop, but a tendency to rot has
been developed in some places.

London, Aug. 31. Mr. Parnell in
tends to speak nest Sunday at Tuam
and yesterday the Bishop of Tuam took
occasion to anticipate Parnell's visit and
prejudice the people against him by de
livering a scathing sermon on the wick
edness of adultery. No direct allusion
was made to Parnell and his O'Shea ex
periences, but the congelation under
stood what wa? meant and several
prominent Parnelhtes severely de
nounced the bishop after services were
over for his evident attempt to belittle
the Irish leader. The prospects are that
Parnell will have an enthusiastic re
ception in Tuam.

Washington, Aug.3r. Senator Wash
burn of Minnesota, just returned
from Europo, has expressed himself
quito freely in regard to the next presi
dential campaign. The senator charac
terizes the recent reports of Secretary
Blaine's ill-heath as a conspiracy to kill
Mr. Blaine noliticallr and nhTi11
Mr. Washburn details a conversation
he had some time ago with Mr. Blaine,
and said in that connection: "Ho has
always taken good care of his health.
He is stronger today than many men at
the age of forty and I believe that fce
will live for many years, and live ia
health and strength." In reference to
Mr. Blaine's candidacy for the presi
dency in 1892, Mr. Washburn said: "I
do not believe that he is a candidate, ia
the ordinary sense of candidacy. I do
believe that ha sees as plainly as every
one else sees, that the people of this
country are going to nominate him and
elect him to the presidency in 1898.
Nothing can provent this happy consum
ation. Ho will be nominated by ac
clamation. Harrison will not be a can
didate before the convention when he
sees the unanimous drift towards Blaine
next Bpring. Ho will cordially support
Blaine and do all that he can, in a man
ner compatible with his position, to
aid Blame's election. I know that the
entire northwest is for Blaine and has
been for years. I want to declare my
self strongly for Blaine, for I believe
that the people of my state will endorse
my sentiment in that direction.
