Allentown, Pa., July 16.—Yester- day on a farm near Emans, this county, a corps of harvest hands threw down their rakes, scythes aud forks and quit work, all because s buxom women had undertaken to drive a reaping machine in the attire ofaman.

He then rushed off and gave the alarm and soon a mob was scouring the woods and swamps for the murderer. So far he has succeeded in evading cap- ture. He will be lynched as soon as he is caught.

Long of Walker county as the candidate of the re- publican party for governor of Ala- bama has percipitated an odd politi- cal struggle upon the people of Walker county. The Leng family is split on poli- tics. The old gentlemen and two sons are out and out republicans; while two other sons are tbe staunchest Bourbon democrats in the state and heart and soul in the fight to prevent the old gentleman from defeating Colonel Tom Jones in Walker county. John Long, one of B. M. Long’s sons of the republi- can persuasion, was elected chair- man of the republican county execu- tive committee, and started out in the campaign to rally forces suffic- iently in Walker, which is a close county, to give his father a majority for governor. The Walker demo- crats are sharp ones and a bomb has been thrown into the Long campaign by the nomination of Tom Long,one of B. M. Long’s democratic sors, for the legislature. The effect of the nomination of Tom Long is evinced by the resignation of his brother, John Long, who was unwilling to lead the republican forces against his brother Tom. John Long’s res- ignation has been accepted and the vacancy filled, but John’s position is dual and decidedly unsatisfactory. He wants Walker county to go re- publican on the question of governor but when it comes to representative in the legislature, it is thought that he will not care if it should go dem- ocratic and send brother Tom to Montgomery. The republicans do not think that John Long will make an active canvass against Tom. A Deadly Well. Topeka, Kas., July 15.—J. W. Biggerstaff, a laborer, lost his life this morning, being asphyxiated by damp ina well. Biggerstaff was employed to {deepen a well. He fired a shotin the well yesterday and intended to goto work this morning. He returned this morn- ing to work, and, finding that the rain last night had left some water in the well, he descended by a rope to see how deep the water was and to see how the shot had loosened up the rock. Mrs. Lown, a neighbor, heard Biggerstaff call for help from the bottom of the well. She hastened to the well and found him endeavor- ingto climb the ropetothe top. When he got about half way up he let go the rope and fell to the bot- tom. Mrs. Lown asked him if he was hurt and he made no reply and she then gave the alarm. A crowd soon arrived and efforts were imme- diately made to rescue the man, who was in a half reclining position against the side of the well, his head being above the 18 or 20 inches of water. Wm. Quinn volunteered to descend and carry him up. The precaution was taken to fasten the rope under Quinn’s arms, so he could be drawn up in case he was overcome by the damp, it being sus- pected that damp had overcome Big- gerstaff. Quinn descended all right, got hold of Biggerstaff, who by this time was limp and lifeless, and be- raised Quinn only a few feet when he let go of the other man and was himself overcome.

This particular Emans farmer's wife, however, is plucky and original as well as buxom, and yesterday she determined to show “the boys” that she could master the problem of Woman's proper work. So she rig- ged herself up in a snug fiitting bla- zarand a pair of her husband's trousers while a broad brimmed har- vest hat shaded her brown ringlets, and lightly mounted tke reaping machine. Having mapped out her course she proceeded to drive across the field and mow a broad swath of grain. At first the harvesters, farm hands, men, beys and girls were as- tonished at the sight, and then they thought it was funny. The male contingent of the har- vest hands, however, began to feel jealous as they watched the smart little woman drive around the grajn field so neatly, and thought she was infringing on their particular prerogatives. Besides this the sun beat down upon them oppressively, and finally they decided to strike. Fifteen men accordingly threw down their implements where they stood and walked off the field shaking their fists at the far driver of the reaping machine. They have not yet been prevailed upon to return to work and the grain in the field remains uncut. Kidney Disease Cured. Mr. J.C.

An Advance m Binding Twine. Mrsnzaporrs, Minn.,July 16 —The burning of 525 tons of binding twine in this city yesterday will cause a sharp advance in the price of that article, especially in the northwest. It ‘is estimated that the 525 tons represent from one-half to seven- eights of the entire amount on hand in the twin cities, and prices will go up from $c to over 5c a pound. This rise will affect the entire coun- try. The trusts claims twine has sold at a loss, and this is sufficient pretext for an advance all along the line. The amount of advance will depend somewhat on how large a stock there is in the United States. More was stored here than at any other half a dozen points. The Tariff First.
