gauized a a separate government. Tbe pe
tition sets forth that the population, some

Steamer Jamet Turpie.
Nkw Vohk. Dec. C The Hriti-h steamer
lames Turpie, Captain Miiith. from Medi
terranean ports, which arrived yesterday,
reiH.rts having had a terribly tempestuous
paage. The steamer had flue weather
until In longitude 40. when it became
s(jually. On Nov. :.0, in latitude 'Si.Ho. long
it mie C."i. she changed lier course to the
northwest. The wind was then blow
ing a strong breeze from the southeast and
steadily increasing in force, with heax-y
squalls and liich seas, and tho barometer
fell rapidly. The wind shifted to the south
ward, ami the captain, concluding that ho
was running into a cyclone, put tbe ship to
l lie southwest. At this time a heavy cro-s
sea was running, aud at e o'clock p. in. a
perfect hurricane was blowing. The
steamer lay in tho trough of the sea per
fectly helpless, neither engines nor helm
having tbe least effect on her, and it was
impo-sible to get her before the wind or
to heave her to. The heavy seas filled the
cabin twice aud flooded the euglne
itMim and stoke-hole. nearly put
ting out the fires. The vessel lay
in this condition for eight hours, the sea
making a clean breach over her. This
weather continued up to 4 a. m.. Dec. 1,
when the wind hauled to the westward.
Then the slnj, head was got to the south
west, the vessel laboring fearfully owing to
the licavv sea. which at times was appall
ing. The barometer had fallen to 2s.G0.
The cargo got adrift and nothiug could be
done to secure it. Subsequently the wind
liauled to 1 lie northwest and blew heavily
ai.il the barometer began rising.
The hold was opened and it was
found that great damage had been
done to the cargo On Dec. ::. latitude
:tT:10. longitude 10:5:;. the wind blew fresh
from the southeast, increasing in force and
at midnight blowing a tale, with a lieavy
sea miming and accompanied by thunder
aud lightning. At :i a. in. Dec. 4 the wind
shifted to the northwest and blew with hur
ticane force, raising a terrllic sea. At S a.
in. the Turpie shipped a sea forward which
started the forecastle deck, llooded the
forecastle and damaged the port life loat
anil hurricane house on tbe poop deck. In
all his thirty-eight years at sea Capt.
Mnitli says lie never experienced such a ter
rific storm.

Uer Hotly In the Snow.
Giioton. S. D., Dec. C. The little town of
Gem. this county-, was electrified yesterday
morning by the report that Otto Gundersoii.
a farmer living eighteen miles southwest of
Groton. had murdered his wife. On
Investigation tbe ImkIv of the
woman was found lying on its back
in the snow half way between the
barn and the house with an ugly wound on
the head, made appaiently by some blunt
instrument. There was no witness to the
murder aud the only evidence as to the
killing was that of the mau himself. Ac
cording to his statement his wife had gone
to the barn after supper and he had fol
lowed. "While there an altercation aro-e
about an improper intimacy between her
and an Aberdeen man. during her hus
band's absence at Yankton several years
ago. From words they came to blows and
he finally seized a shovel and hit her a
blow on the head that caused her death.
He then returned to the house, leaving the
body lying out in the snow all night. His
brother discovering these facts In the
morning, the sheriff was telegraphed and
captured him at his home, he having made
no attempt to escape. He was brought to
Groton and taken thence to Aberdeen for
,-afe keeping. The cause of the murder
-eems to have been jealousy on the part of
the husband. The murdered woman was a
v ery handsome one about 30 years of age.
Two children of S and 10 years slept in the
house peacefully during the enactment of
the tragedy.

Citizens' alliance of Kansas were intro

all made addie--es. tbe substance of which
vt.is that their organization was deeply in
tere ted iu tbe -ueee-sof the fariuei-,' move
ment; ihat both bodies weie practically
working on the -ame line, and that they
saw no reason why merchants, traders,
druggists, etc., should not unite in promot
ing this movement. They asked for a com
mittee of conference to arrange for closer
lf-l.ition-. between the Citizens' alliance
ai.d the natioual alliance. Tho lequest
was granted and the committee was ap
pointed. IK It-gate- from the New York Working

all the -'at s of the union.
There is considerable indignation among
c 11 respondents over the failure of the pies
committee, which was togje out informa

Kx eutive Committee Report.
Dr. Macune, chairman of the national ox
ecutive committee, submitted his annual
ropoit. It referred at length to the siib
treasitry bill drawn and presented to con
gress. Tne committee's mission Iu this re
spect is virtually ended because the alli
ance had elected several congressmen who
would look after pushing tbe bill through
the national legislature. In a short time,
he said, congress will pass tills bill. If not
willingly, then by compromise. The report
recommended the reduction of salary of all
national alliance officers and the iemoval
from Washington of the president's office,
li.asmuch as the retention of it theie cn
ta'ls an expense not commensurate with its
usefulness. At the conclusion of the report
Dr. Macune addiessed the o. mention
upon tiie poliey of the alliance, especially
with reference to its position upon leading
public measuits and the attitude toward
democrats and republican-
iu future politi-
cal contests.

T. V. Powderly aud A. W. Wright, mem
bers of the executive board of the Knlghtsof
Lalxir. arrived here yesterday afternoon. At
a public meeting last night they spoke.
Powderly, iu his addiess. said it was time
for the lawyers to stand aside and give the
fanners a chance, as well as the merchants
and laborers, lie was speaking, only for
himself individually, but if it wus the gen
oral wntimeiit for all the producing indus
trial and labor organizations to stand and
vote together in lS'.fJ. lie would be there in
the hottest of the fight. The whole line of
Powderly's talk was iu eucoiiiagement of
the third party movement, if it became
necessary.
In conclusion he said: "Let me say to
you our greeting is the most cordial and
lie'artfelt. We feel we are a part of youi
organization. Let lis all agree upon your
platform. If it is to agitate and do hard
work upon that platform, we are with you.

THE FLOUR OUTPUT.
Frodnctioa JLaaaeaetl by
Water Fowcr Hwmuad FalMaa; Oft
Minneapolis. Dec. 8. The AortAueafern
Jtfi'er says: The flour output dropped oft
over SC.O0O barrels last week. The aggre
gate production was 1G5.0S0 barrels, aver
aging 37,503 barrels dally, against 191.075
barrels the week before and 136.S0O barrels
for the corresponding time in 1SS9 and 83-,
200 barrels In 1883. The bottom has sud
denly dropped out of the water power, and
since Monday night comparatively little
flour has been ground by that kind of power.
Tbe water was entirely cut off froam the
west side mills Wednesday, and 11,000 bar
rels of capacity was thus placed In enforced
idleness for the time being. There were
only nine mills running, including the Lin
coln at Anoka, and seven of these were em
ploying steam altogether as a motive power.
The sudden deficiency of water Is supposed
to be caused by ice gorging In the river and
temporarily holding it back, a lower tem
perature having prevailed for a few days
past.
It is a very difficult matter to estimate
the current output of flour, though it will
probably not exceed 20,000 barrels per twenty-four
hours. The flour market Is quite
Inactive, especially for domestic consump
tion, and sales for a week back have fallen
much short of the manufacture'. Prices are
about 10 cents cheaper aud. with tho weak-
j ness in wheat, are not very strong.! There
is still a good export demand for bakers ,
but most firms are kept from accepting or
ders very frequently, either by the prices
offered being too low for them or by the fact
that they are already sold ahead as far as
they care to be. A sale of 10,000 sacks of
bakers for London, c. 1. f.. was reported on
Tuesday at 27 shillings, but this was ratbei
exceptional. Foreigners also seem to want
low grades quite badly, and considerable
business was done in them. This demand
I s s:,''l to be occasioned by the foreign mar
kets being nearly all bare of that kind ol
flour. Little or nothing is being done In
patents for exports, the bids made being
around 30 shillings 1) pence for London, c.
1. f.. which Is about !) pence below tho cost
of manufacture. The export shipments foi
the week were again large, and a consider
able portion was of patents, sold a short
time back. They amounted to Ct.-Co bar
rels, against 8G.SI0 barrels the preceding
week. London quotations for 2V0 pounds,
c. i. f., are: Patents. 31 shillings 6 pence
to 32 shillings; bakers', 2G shillings 3 pence
to 27 shillings; low grades, Iti shillings to 1
shillings G pence.
