11EIDENHEIMER BROS.
down. If George Washington were to appear
and Insist upon the punishment of the villain
who got up the hatchet story, it would be a
very similar case.
The California correspondent of the Balti-
more Sun predicts that three years hence ship-
ping grain to Europe around Cape Horn will
be superseded by railway transit over the
Southern Pacific's easy gradients to Galves-
ton and New Orleans, shortening the route by
10,000 miles, and the time correspondingly.
The whole line runs through grain fields, so to
say, and it is not doubted that freight will be
cheap. Between Liverpool and these gulf
ports will be the great highway of passengers
and merchandise for the Pacific coast for
China and Australia. u Then will California
be the paradise of farmers, fruiterers and vine
culturists. Then will the producers in the
southeastern counties, now farthest from
market, be nearest."
The advance in the rate of cotton-compress
charges at New Orleans has given rise to con-
siderable dissatisfaction there. The Democrat
of the 26th says:
In consequence of the increased price of hand-
ling cotton at the presses the cotton-press men,
in agreement with their notice, advanced the price
to-day of cotton compressing from fifty cents to
seventy-five cents per bale, and drayage from fif-
teen to twenty-five cents. This advance is met
with considerable opposition on the part of ship-
pers, who. it is reported, are determined not to
pay the advance. Up to the close this evening con-
siderable excitement prevailed in regard to the
matter, and an equal determination was apparent
on both sides not to yield. The result, however, it
is believed, will be a compromise.
The Picayune on the same subject remarks:
The advance in the rates of compressing has met
with strong resistance from the shipping interests.
Ship agents contend that they have not received
proper notice, and the ships' charges are therefore
a direct deduction from the freight money not con-
templated.
The excitement over the publication of the
Garfield Chinese letter, in New York, is intense,
and fears are entertained that an attack may
be made on the office of the Truth, the paper in
which the letter first appeared. The latest dis-
patches mention the arrest of a Mr. Phillips,
charged with malicious libel, in connection
with the now famous letter, "and the cause
will be investigated by ono of the justices of
the Supreme Court to-day. It is claimed that
the conductors of the Truth are able to establish
the authenticity of the letter, and telegrams
say that much of the valuable space in the pa-
per was devoted yesterday to evidence, which
was deemed conclusive, going to establish the
fact that Garfield was the author. It has also
been stated, in connection with this matter,
that other letters of the same tenor to different
persons, by Gen. Garfield, can be produced.
The color question continues to agitate the
citizens of the Third Ward of Allegheny, Penn-
sylvania. Ono day last week a number of pa-
rents of white children went to school with
their children, and, learning that colored chil-
dren were to remain, told their offspring to col-
lect their books and go home. In a short time
the thoroughfare in front of the school was
blocked with people. A number of colored
people were present, and were saluted with
hisses, but they did not retaliate, and there was
no act of open violence. The police were sent
for, but failed to put in an appearance. The
principal of the school would not agree to dis-
charge the colored children, and the conse-
quence was that 250 white children were with-
drawn from the school. Throughout the South,
where the colorod race is numerous, the estab
lishment of white and colored school communi-
ties overcomes the difficulties that attach to
the question in Pennsylvania. In the South
there is provision for both races, and, as the
public-school system is now administered, with-
out prejudice to either. Race distinctions and
affinities, it will be perceived, are not confined
to either side of Mason and Dixon's line.

It is just one hundred and twenty years
since Lisbon was swallowed up by an earth-
quake, and the present rumblings alarm
the Portugese—which is very natural. Tanner
himself would want to swallow something after
an abstinence of one hundred and twenty
years.
Mount Vesuvius is reported to be in an
active state of eruption. And the worst of
it is, the unfortunate Italians have no as-
surance but that it will be worse instead of
better after the second of November. After
all. this country has many advantages over
Europe.
Judging by the number of raiiroad collisions
all over the country, it might not be amiss to
remind conductors that trains running in oppo-
site directions on the same track can not pass
each other without a smash-up. Some of the
conductors may discredit this assertion, but it
is true, nevertheless.
The funniest thing about Garfield's alleged
Chinese letter is Garfield's indignation. There
is nothing in the letter but what is creditable
to him, viz: that he is in favor of labor and
capital settling their own affairs, and that the
treaty with China should be respected until it
is abrogated; but Garfield wants "the villain"
who attributes such sentiments to him hunted
The Financial Chronicle's report of railroad
earnings for the second week in October not
only maintains the ratio of increase that has
been reported all along, but makes a still fur-
tfcer improvement. Twenty-five roads report-
ing show a gain of 30 per cent, on the ex-
ceptional figures of last year. There is not a
single one that shows a decrease in earnings.
For the first week in October, compared with
gross earnings last year, there were five that
had a decrease. The St. Louis, Iron Mountain
and Southern, that last week showed a falling
off in receipts, this week reports a small in-
crease. The International and Great North-
ern's earnings are $64,399, against $46,315 for
same week last year. Of the twenty-five roads
reporting the increase in mileage is 17
per cent., against 30 per cent, in earn-
ings, leaving a margin of 13 per cent,
attributable to the growth in the volume of
traffic. "It will be seen," says the Chronicle,
"several roads report handsome gains, though
operating no more mileage than last year.
Chief among these are the Chicago and Alton,
the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and In-
dianapolis, the International and Great
Northern, and the St. Louis, Alton and Terre
Haute main line. It is on such roads that the
forces at work to swell railroad receipts are
most pointedly shown. Large crops, good
rates, an augmented passenger movement and
an expansion in the volume of general freight,
with more return traffic, are the influences to
which we are indebted for the present earu-
ngs, and just so long as they remain in opera-
tion is the future full of hope and bright with
the promise of continued gains."

As a great many farmers in Texas raise a
little tobacco, and probably more than they
have use for themselves, it will be interesting
to them to know that at the last session of Con-
gress the law in relation to dealing in leaf to-
bacco'was amended so that a country merchant,
by paying tax at the rate of $5 per year, can
purchase and sell tobacco grown by the farm-
ers in his neighborhood. The amendment
reads as follows:
Provided, further, that dealers in leaf tobacco
(other than retail dealers as defined in the seventh
sub-division of the section) who do not deal in leaf
tobacco otherwise than to sell, or offer for sale, or
consign for sale on commission, to an sjuiount not
exceeding twenty-five thousand pounds in any one
special-tax year, only such leaf-tobacco as they
purchase or receive in the hand directly from farm-
ers or planters who have produced the same on
land owned, rented, or leased by them, or received
the same as rent from their tenants, who have pro-
duced the same on such land, shall each be required
to pay for carrying on such business a special tax
of five dollars only. If any. person who has paid
such special tax shall be found tc have purchased
or received or sold, or consigned for sale on com-
mission, more than twenty-five thousand pounds of
leaf-tobacco, such as is herein provided for, in any
one special-tax year, the commissioner of internal
revenue is authorized and directed to assess such

imposed upona dealer in leaf-tobacco.
The object of this amendment, as avowed by
its advocates in Congress, was to enable small
farmers or planters in sparsely settled districts
of country to make sale of the surplus tobacco
grown by them, too small in quantity to war-
rant the shipping of it to a distant market, at
the nearest country store, by allowing the pro-
prietor of such store to qualify as a dealer in
leaf-tobacco by the payment of a merely nomi-
nal special tax.

[Special Telegram to the News.]
San Antonio, October 27.—Gen. Grierson,
at Fort Quitman, telegraphs the following dis-
patch, which was received from Col. Terrasas,
commanding Mexican troops in Northern Chi-
huahua:
On the 14th, in the afternoon, I attacked
Victoria's band in the Castillo mountains. lie
fortified himself in the mountain, and I sur-
rounded him. In the morning, by a simul-
taneous attack, we took his position, leaving
Victoria and sixty warriors and eighteen
women and children dead. Sixty-eight women
and children and two captive prisoners were
taken, aud we recovered also 180 animals of
different kinds. All tho-arms and plunder were
also left in my possession. I lost three men dead
and twelve wounded. There are still thirty
Indians at large, who did not arrive in time,
when I surrounded th©^:e who fell, and they
went in tho direction of the Bosque Banito or
Laguina de Los Palm. Although a competent
force follows tfeern. it is not easy to know with
certainty which way they will go, as they are
scattering. As soon as auv of the forces who fol-
lowed these dispersed Indians return, I shall
communicate to you what information they
will give me of their expedition. With great
respect, etc., Joaquin Terraras,
Chief of Mexican Troops.
Fort Quitnwn, October 26.—Acting Adju-
tant General: Between forty and fifty Indians
from the Mescalero-Apache agency, New Mexi-
co, got as far south into Texas as the Sierra
Diablo, evidently with the intention of assist-
or joining "Victoria, but they were headed
off and turned back by my troops from Eagle
Springs and the Guadalupe mountains. The
troops are pursuing the Indians northward,
through the Sacramento mountains, toward
the agency. My cavalry along the Rio G rande
are actively scouting and watching for tlie
thirty warriors reported net killed by Terrasas.
The Bosque Banito, referred to by Terrasas,
are on the Rio Grande, ha Mexico, south of
Eagle Springs, Texas. I have three companies
of cavalry near that point.
Grierson, Colonel Commanding.
The Sunset road recently run a line over that
adopted by the International, southwest of this
city, to a point in Frio county, with the evident
intention of running their read to the south-
west, and in a manner interfering with the
well-understood plan of the International. In
order to frustrate this move, the International
quietly moved a force of men southwest of this
city and begun to cut out the right of
way and prepared to grade. This secures legal
possession of the right of way, and will force
the Sunset to a line further to the north.
There are now about fifty or sixty
men scattered from here along
to beyond the Mann crossing on the Medina,
and yoar correspondent has it from good
authority that over 100 teams will be moved to
this section before the coming week. This con-
tract takes in the ninety-seoond mile from Aus-
tin. There is little doubt but that the Sunset
will begin work on its extension in a few days.
The arrival of freight to-day on the Sunset
road was the largest since its completion to this

The regular republican National and State
ticket for this section is being printed with the
greatest care, under instructions from national
leaders. The full names of Garfield and Arthur,
which it had been determined to print at the
head, have been modified so as to read, "For J as.
A Garfield and Chester A. Arthur electors," if
the names of the presidential candidates are
used at all. This was determined after a close
examination of the election law, which says:
No device or names of parties not to be voted
for shall be used on tho ballot." The republi-
cans are thus careful, l>ecause it is the purpose
of the leaders to insist on the throwing out of
all ballots cast not strictly conforming to the
law.

Belton, October 27.—The weather for the
past week has been fine for picking, and our
farmers improved the opportunity. The want
of labor is greatly felt in all parts of the coun-
ty. The plant is entirely stripped of leaves,
thus giving the top crop, which is large, all op-
portunity of maturing. There is not at this
time half of the crop picked, and as this county
in 1S78 marketed 18,000 bales, our estimate for
this season, provided this crop can be saved, is
30,000 to 35,000 bales. This crop is not only
much better, but there is a large increased
acreage.

them twice as they started. This happened
about 5 o'clock in the evening. No clew to the
robber, though our efficient sheriff will use

An Afghan Outbreak Undoubted.
London, October 27.—The most recent offi-
cial intelligence possessed by the Government
leaves no doubt that tlie district around Cabul
is in a state of disturbance, and home ofiicials
thus account for the break in communication
between Cabul and Simula. The British politi-
cal a^ent at Cabul wfes constant in his commu-
nications with the Government, and the fact of
these communications being interrupted, de-
duced from the absence of Afghan news in the
viceroy's recent telegrams, tends to the belief
in the "prolvibility of the alleged outbreak hav-
ing occurl-ed.

New York, October 27.—Kenward Philip, a
journalist, was arrested in Brooklyn to-day on
the charge of forgery in connection with the
Garfield Chinese letter. He will be arraigned
the Supreme Court this evening. His
counsel has already applied for his discharge
on habeas corpus. Another report states that
the arrest was made on the charge of counter-
feiting postoffice dies, upou a warr-oit granted
the Federal courts. Mr. Philip
was arrested in the lobby of
the Park Theater, Brooklyn, while
in conversation with ex-Sheriff Doggett, the
republican leader of Kings countv, and other
gentlemen. The arrest was made by Detective
Stewart, of New York, upon a warrant issued
by Judge Noah Davis, presiding justice of the
Supreme Court, which charges the prisoner
with malicious libel. Mr. Philip and the offi-
cer, accompanied by Wm. Veeder, came over
to polico headquarters in this city. After a
brief detention here he was taken to the Su-
preme Court. Judge Davis being temporarily
absent. he was detained in the district atto:--
nev's office. He will be arraigned before Judge
Davis later in the day.
Kennard Phillips was arraigued at 3 o'clock
this evening before Chief Justice Noah Davis
of the Supreme Court. His counsel. Gen.
Roger A. Pry or, objected to the prosecution
reading the "affidavit on which the order of
arrest was obtained, but the judge overruled
the objection. District Attorney Bell then
read the affidavit by Col. Geo. Bliss, who testi-
fied that he examined a fac simile copy of the
letter with othei-s iu his i>o3session from Gen.
Garfield, and pronounced it a forgery; that he
compared a photographic copy of "tlie letter
with the writings of the accused and thought he
was the author of it. The affidavits sworn to by
Jos. E. Payne and Albert F. Southworth, ex-
perts in handwriting, were read, and were of
a similar purport. Attached to the affidavits
was the original copy of an article published
and written by the accused. A motion was
then made to have the warrant dismissed ou
the ground that the affidavits were not strong
enough to support it. The motion was denied
by Judge Davis, who hold that the publication
of an article, atter its authenticity is denied,
which tended to bring odium on the supposed
author, was criminal libel The exrminaticn

FIRE RECORD.
Factory Destroyed.
New York, October 27.—Ansonia Clock
company's factory, situated at corner of
Seventh avenue and Twelfth street, Brooklyn,
together with a large quantity of valuable
machinery ana stock, was totally" destroyed by
fire at 2 o'clock this morning. " Tne fire is be-
lieved to lx) of incendiary origin, as it started
in a reading-room in a corner of the building
where there was nothing of inflammable nature.
Total loss estimated to be about $750,000. In-
surance about a quarter of a million dollars.
About 1000 hands are thrown out of employ-
ment by the fire.
The loss will probably be $-1,000,003. Insur-
ance said to be only $200,000, perhaps less. Tho
factory was put there two years ago to enhance
the value of a great tract of land owned by
the projectors. The main building covered
fifty city lots. A numler of private houses,
occupied chiefly by employes of tho factory,
w -re badly damaged. Fifteen engines worked
on the flames, but the fire was not stayed until
everything upon which it could feed was
destroyed.
The fire was immediate}' preceded by an ex-
plosion, which is thought to have been produced
by gas. About 2 o'clock this a. m. the watch-
man, who was then on the rounds through the
building, gave the alarm. Before a sufficient
number of engines to effectually battle w ith
the flames could reach tlie spot the whole build-
ing, a five-story structure, was enveloped in
fire, throwing out such intense heat that tho
firemen could not get near enough to the burn-
ing pile to do good service. The works
have been in operation about fourteen
months, and the building and machinerv
originally cost over a half million dcllai-s. from
time to time additional machinery has been
added and improvements made until it is said
the works were the most complete in the coun-
try. The superintendent of tue works says it
is not likelv the factory will be rebuilt on the
same site, but the company will put up au-
other factory as soon as they can settle up
their business. He did not know tho amount
of insurance, or in what company they were
insured, but he could safely say that" nearly
every New York and Brooklvn, as well a"s
some foreign companies, LaJl taken risks.
The company manufactured their gas,
and had their own gas retort. Last night,
it is said, before workmen left the gas got low,
and began to flicker. It was impossible for the
men to continue work, so they hastily left,
leaving the gas gets turned on". Some wont
out, aud the gas still flowed in from the gas re-
tort, it is said, and considerable gas escaped^
which may account lor the small explosion
which was heard. Phelps, Dodge & Co.. of
this city, are extensively interested in the An-
sonia company.

Epifeopui Convention.
New York, October 27.—The last day's ses-
sion of the Protestant Episcoj»al General Con-
vention opened in the Hons? of Deputies with
religious services. The committee on canons
reported a resolution declining to concur with
tlie House of Bishops in clianging the existing
canon with regard to tho reinstatement of
clergymen who i.uve abandoned the church.
The resolution was adopted. Rev. Dr. Beri-s,
oi' the joint conij.iitl&e ou securing missionary
bishops for each Territory in which there is
not at present a bishop, reported in favor of
the proposition. The report was adopted, to-
gether with a resolution appointing a commit-
tee of twenty-one to act as an auxiliary to tho
board of managers of missions and create a
missionary bishop fund. A resolution from
the committee o.; amendments to the constitu-
tion. declaring it inexyjedient at the present
time to amend tho constitution so as to require
further legislation l-> be by canon, was
adopted. Hon. V.' . Purgwin, of Pittsburgh,
from the con:ii;iti..'i i conference, in a dis-
agreement of two h-.-u: s as to the resolution
concerning the notification oL the emendation
of the Book of Common Prayer, reported that
they had agreed to restore one portion of tho
clause stricken out by the house of deputies at
its session oi Tuesday. This was the clause
forbidding the use of any prayers other than
those in the prayer book. Rev. Dr. Phillips
Brooks, of Massachusetts, presented a minority
report, in support o£ which he said he saw no
reason why the house of deputies should re-
cede from its action of the previous <lay. The
right, he said, to use extemporary prayers,
was indisputable, and any attempt to restrict
it would be odious to a great part of tho
church. The report of the minority was re-
jected by the following vote: Clergy—ayes
26, nays 12—eight dioceses divided—lay: ayes
11, nays 27. The majority rej-ort was then
adopted, and the subject will now be passed to
the di'jcesan conventions for rati!!cation.
A message was received from til-? House c f
Bishops informing the House cf L>epu:ies that;
the House of Bisuops declined to concur wi: h
the deputies touching the canon on deaconesses,
which was adopted by the deputies on Tues-
day afternoon. The message staUd
that the action of the bishops
relative to sisterho >ds, which was
communicated to the deputies at an eariy
part of the session, has not met with any con-
sideration by the deputies. The. matter create 1
considerable discussion, and the motion was
made for the api»oiiitnie*it of a committee of
two to visit the house of bishons, and inform
them, on behalf of tlie house of deputies,
that no discourtesy was intended hi tho
consideration of their message, but than
i wns overlooked. The whole subject w.*s
fina'ly tabled, .v nivs.->ago was received from
the House of Bishops, informing the deputies
that the former dcchned to concur in then* re-
s .lutiou with regard to the version cf the Bible.
Th-j committee on amendments reported ad-
versely on the proposition to j>ermit missionaries
to speak on quest ions before the hou •. but not
to vote. Judge Prince, of Long Island, con*
tended that these delegates hat L a right to
speak and declarer! it was mockery to bring
them thousands of miles simply to si in Ui«#
house without the privilege of opening their
mouths.
After the passage cf complimentary resolu-
tions to the officers of the convention,
House adjourned si:: • tile.

SUEEP AND WOOL.
Victoria Advocate: The arrivals of wool
have fallen off to some extent the paet week,
and it is thought the fall clip is pretty well
marketed. Growers, though realising le>s
prices this fall than those of last spring, ex-
press themselves satisfied, and our buyers aro
still in the market offering outside" figures.
Twenty and one-half cents per pound has been
paid here for wool of the fall dip.
San Antonio Express: Wool is in large re-
ceipt. Mr. Sam C. Bennett reports the sale of
five bags of the C. D. Burroughs clip of Mexi-
can wool at ISc., and thirty-nine bags of the
Vint James clip at 23c. We" also learn of the
sale of five bags of Mexican wool at l$)^c., and
Ed. Kotaia sold sixteen bags of the Charles
Carter clip at 2Q}£c. Messrs. Chabot, Moss &
Co. sold two bags of the M. Nussle elm of Mexi-
can improved wool at 2lt%c. Col. T. H. Zan-
derson purchased several of the above clips,
and also reports the purchase of tnirty-throe
bags of the Riggs clip at 20^c., and sixty bags
of tlie Toms. Bundy & Proctor clip at l^c. We
quote fall clip at lt><g23Vjc.
We have been oar-ally informed that the
fisherman's daughter took her bo-at his word,
ami like a seine-sible girl, accepted his matri-
monial offer. [New York News.] Yes, she
dropped us a line, saying she would sinker
prejudices, and not thwart him in any wav, or
let his passion a-bait; but hook can tell f They
may be in a xow [.Boston Couuttrciaf
