Mr. and Mrs, Gill, Senior, File Answer sd to Their Son's Suit. In the suit in equity recently brought by William S. Gill for an injunction against Alexander J. Gill, Theresa M. Gill and Florenc> H. McCartney the defendants have filed their answers. Alexander J. Gill states that he lefc a lucrative position in Pittsburg at the instance of his son, the complainant, and came to this city and engaged in the manufacturing part of the business of Gill & Son, while the complainant had entire charge of the financial and selling part of the business. The latter kep the books of the firm, and it is averred that there was no accurate account kept of the affairs of the business, but that the records consisted merely of pocket memoranda. The bookkeeping was a practical farce, the father claims, as most of the accounts were kept in a small beok, which his son carried in a vest pocket. The indebtedness of the firm is nearer $5,000 than $3,000, this defendant avers, and further says that if he had an honest accounting of the receipts and prof- its from February 7, 1801, to July 13, 1804, the concern would not now be insolvent. It is denied by Mr. Gill, sr., that he de- signed to acquire without consideration the good will of the business; that it is in any way whatever of sound financial value; that he is In possession of the property be- longing to the firm of Gill & Son; that there is anything in the establishment of any value whatever, and that there are good debts due the firm amounting to $400. Theresa M. Gill, the mother, after relat- ing that her husband and herself left Pitts- burg to engage in ‘business in this city at the solicitation of William 8. Gill, and de- scribing the details of meeting promissory notes signed by her son and the particulars of the recent sale of the business, goes on to say that there is no collusion upon her part whatsoever to injure her son in his business affairs. The lady charges that through the mismanagement and extrava- gance of her son the business has been en- trely ruined and his father and herself almost financially ruined with it. It is also stated that the disagreement in busi- ness is contained in this state of affairs rather than on account of any petty matter concerning the employment of a clerk, and because, as manager of the concern, the complainant has swamped it beyond the Possibility of recovery. In conclusion Mrs. Gill says that she is the owner by purchase of the property in question, and as Gill & Son has been legally dispossessed of the store, she arrenged to lease it herself, and has engaged her husband to manufacture candy to be sold upon the premises. The matter will come up in court on Menday morning next. ——_—_. THREE GOOD OFFICES, Many Candidates for Appointments on the Assessment Board, Considerable pressure is being brought upon the Commissioners in the interest of various candidates for the three appoint- ments on the beard of assersors provided for in the bill which recently passed Con- gress and fs awaiting the President's ap- proval. It is believed the appointments will be made very soon after the Commis- sioners receive notice of the approval of the bill. The appointments are for four years each, and the salary provided for each assistant assessor is $3,000. So the offices are attractive. Several citizens have already applied, and it is known that there are many others willing to have the offices seek them. The Commissioners have been interviewed in behalf of the appointment to the new board of the three members of the late board of revision, Messrs. S. T. G. Mersell, Wm. B. Gurley and E. W. Griffin. Mr. Griffin is at present assistant to the assessor of the District. Then the claims of Mr. Roger Williams, clerk of the excise board, who for some months filied the office of assessor of the District, are being urged. Citizens of the SACKED BY RIOTERS Mission Churches and } Missionaries Attacked by Chinese.” HUNDREDS OF MINERS BURIED ALIVE Explosion of Gas Followed by Fire. HOPE OF RESCUE GIVEN UP ——— SAN FRANCISCO, <Avgust 11.—The steamer City of Peking brings details of the destruction of the American Presbyterian Church at Shuklung near Canton, the men- tion of which was contained in the Ori- ental’s mail. It seems that anti-missionary riots began in the prefectural town of Tung Kan, in June, as the placards posted up contained vile charges against Christians. The mob appeared in Shuklung on June 19 and pulled down the church. Luckily all the missionaries escaped, but a Chinese ecrvert, Kiang Lap, who was overtaken, was beaten to death, and his body thrown into the river. Several Christian families in the vicinity were subjected to indignities and robbed. Some soldiers then appeared cn the s&€ne and effected the arrest of two rioters. The next point of attack was the Roman Catholic Church. Those inside the church fired at the mob ani held them at bay for scme time. At this juncture a squad of soldiers came and dispersed the mob, thus saving the building from sharing the same fute as the American church. Sacked a Village Church. On June 21, the church at Sam Kong, a village of Tsan Shing, was sacked, and a girl, nineteen years old, belonging to a native preacher's family, was carried away. Fortunately in the middle of the night the Christian brethren were able to secretly open the door of the house where the girl had been taken, allowing the captive girl to be conveyed safely to Canton. Simultaneously with this disturbance an anti-missionary Seneeination took place at Liu Fou. Under cover of darkness a na- tive preacher, with his family, had to seek safety in flight. The church, however, was left unmolest- ed, as it was owned by a man of the power- ful Wan family, who protected the building. In Tung Kung city the vilest and most ex- citing rumors are current, and had it not been {or the proximity of the church to the Rhenish mission, and for the daily protec- tion of its premises by a squad of soldiers, who had been applied for by the mission- aries at an early stage of the riots, it would in all probability have to be added to the list of demolished churches in this disturbed district. A complaint against the Tung Kung me frome ey been Gara the Ameri- can consul at Canton, and an investigati will be made. — —_——__. HUNDREDS BURIED ALIVE. Terrible Mi = Disaster in Russian Poland. WARSAW, August 11.—The great coal mines near Lombrowa, government of Gradno, have been burning since yesterday afternoon, The fire started by an explosion of gas while the full force of men were under ground. The main shaft was wrecked and com- paratively few miners have been rescued. The latest report is that several hun- dred men are entombed in the mines, and that all hope of saving them has been abandoned. « The mines are owned by the Franco- Italian Bank, —_—.____ AMERICAN YACHTSM ABUSED. Comment on Gould's Refusal to Sail to Windward and Return. LONDON, August 11.—The Pall Mall Gazette this afternoon says: “It is curious how the American sportsman is never satis- fled unless every possible condition is in his favor. The fact that Mr. Gould refuses to take part in the propesetl match will con- vince the English that the Vigilant is an unworthy holder of the America’s cup.” COWES, August 11.—The American yachts- men are being generally abused owing to Mr. Gould’s refusal to sail the Vigilant against the Britannia in the match pro- pesed by Lord Wolverton, fifteen miles to windward and return, for a £100 cup. It is claimed that the match was proposed in order to give the Vigilant a race on the line of the recent contest for the America’s cup. It is nelad that the Valkyrie lost two of her races in New York waters in 18i3 mainly because each of those events were started to leeward, and that upon both occasions fluke of wind, occuring near the turnit ry point, converted the proposed beat home to windward into a sail off the wind. A member of the royal yacht squadron said that the match proposed by Lord Wolverton was just what the Vigilant’s peo- ple had been ‘asking for. The member quoted added: “They said ‘w: till you see the Vigilant in open waters.’ That has been the cry of her backers, so Lord Wolverton proposed course fifteen miles out from the Needles; but, in order to avoid a repetition of the New York flukes, he stipulated that the race should be started to windward.” LONDON, August 11.—The Field yachting article today says: catia The Britannia has now defeated the Vigilant under every condition of weather and sea, except a hard-reefed sail in a heavy rea. The contests are becoming monoto- nous to both. An incident result is that Mr. Gould has declined to sail the fifteen miles to windward match, on the ground that the Vigilant won the event she came over here for, last Saturday, and that she does not desire any further contests of the kind.” —_——~—__ SPEEDING ACROSS THE COUNTRY. Relay Riders Over Twenty-Nine Hours Ahead of Time. OMAHA, Neb., August 11.—The lettor of President Cleveland to Gov. Waite was de- livered in Qmaha at 8:12 last night, nearly twenty-seven hours ahead of time. Through Nebraska the time is expected to be much slower than the schedule on account of the great depth of the dust. COLUMBUS, Neb., August 11.—In the Washington-Denver relay race Neison and Zerzer came in from Schuler at 3:18 a.m. From here F, H. Lamb of Columbus and Seafort of Lincoln carried the message to Duncan. GRAND ISLAND, Neb., August 11.—Re- lay Rider Arthur Lindley brought the mes- sage here from Lockwood, arriving at 8:46 a.m., twenty-nine hours fourteen minutes ahead of the schedule time. Theodore Boehm took the message from here to Alda. Boehm is the best rider in the city, and is expected to make up time from Grand Is- land. The best riders take the message to Kearney. GIBBON, Neb., August 11.—The Wash- ington-Denver bicycle riders passed Gibbon at 10:25 a.m. ——.—_—_ NEBRASKA'S SHORT LINE. Denver's Proposed Railway Connec- tion With the Lake DENVER, Col, August 11.—Ex-Gov. Evans has returned from a trip to Sioux City, Icwa, the castern terminal of the proposed Nebraska shcrt; line, more than northeast section are advancing the claims |£¥¢™ satisfled of the feasibility of his scheme of Messrs. W. J. Frizzell snd Evan Tucker, Mr. Al. T. Hensey has a formidable list of “packers” for the place, including many members of Corgress and prominent busi- ness men of Washington. Then Mr. Thomas Dowling’s appointment has been urged, and the Commissioners have also discovered that there are many people who would like to have Messrs. Galen E. Green and Wm. Dickerson 2S assessors. There has been some talk that one of the three men ap- pointed will be a colored man, and the two colored men regarded as caadidates are Mr. John F. Cook, who has already served as assistant assessor, and Mr. Daniel R, Mur- ray, an assistant to the librarian of Con- gress, for giving Denver a direct railway connec- tion with the great lakes. Mr. Evans’ plans righ his line from Julesburg té Oneill, Neb. He finds he can shorten the road almost a fourth by running it from North Platte on the Union Pacific to some point east of Oneill. The Gulf road, with which Mr. Evans expects to cperat® the short line, has the right to trackage'trrangements on the Union Pacifie as far east as North Platte, and to run from North Platte the short Ine would cross seven roads and branches at right angles, all running in a southerly direction to On¥aha and Kansas City and penetrate eight counties and coun- ty seats, c ally were to run PINGREE TO RUN. Detroit's Mayor to Be an Independent ndidate for Govern Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., August 11.— Mayor Pingree of Detroit will stand as an independent sandidate for governor. He has not bimself announced his purpose yet, but he is simply waiting for the formal call to step forward with his speech of acceptance. A meeting was held in Lansing last night— the first of a series of meetings in the lead- ing cities of the state. Speeches were made laudatory of Pingree and a committee was chosen, with Jas. M. Turner of Lansing as. chairman, to make arrangements for a state convention, to be held in Lansing within three weeks, when Pingree’s boom will be formally and officially launched. lt is proposed to make the gubernatorial romination only, letting Pingree’s followers vote as they please on the balance of the ticket. The chief planks in his platform will be “down with monopolies, machines and ring rule.” His candidacy is designed as a body blow at Rich’s re-election in November, with the possibility of defeating the re-election of Senator McMillan next winter. The moven.ent is encouraged by the demo- cratic managers, who see in it a golden op- portunity to divide the republican forces. Dr. Champion, chairman of the populist state central committee, is an ardent Pin- gree man, and will resign his position to help Pingree’s campaign. Dr. Nichols, the Populist candidate for governor, also favors Pingree, and will help him as much as pos- sible, and may pull out of the race. When nominated Pingree will make a vigorous stumping tour, and the machinations of the amatame machine will be given particular _o ORGANIZED ROBBERY ALLEGED. An Ex-County Official of lowa Makes Startling Charges, SIOUX CITY, Iowa, August 11.—In the Woodbury county bond injunction case some startling evidence has been brought cut. Ex-Deputy Auditor Roberts was on the stand. From his testimony it appears that there has been an organized movement among certain officials to rob the county. Roberts implicates himself and a number of other officials in the deal. The steal has been going on for a number of years, and it is thought the county has been robbed of many thousand dollars, Roberts was formerly deputy county au- ditor under three administrations, both democratic and republican, He left here July 14 without testifying in the injunction case restraining the supervisors from issuing the 0 bonds. He was brought back and went on the stand for the prosecution. Roberts tcld*an astounding tale of corrup- tion, involving not only the supervisors, but himself, county attorney, deputy sheriffs and others. He said when he wanted to teke a trip Supervisor Strange gave him the money and drew a warrant for the amount, charging it to the transportation of paupers, Bills were padded, often more than 100 per cent, and the rake-off cut up between the recipient of the principal, the supervisors and himself, ——- —_-- TROOPS OFFERED NICARAGUA, ras Has 5,000 to Assist in the Mosquito Campaign. ) COLON, August 11.—The government of Honduras has offered 5,000 troops to Nic- aragua in order to aid the latter country in its operations against the revolt in Mosquito territory. In addition to Gen. Barillas, the Nicar- aguan envoy to Great Britain, Constantino Zelaya, 4 relative of the president, is on board the City of Para, bound for New York and due there August 13. The United States cruiser Columbia is expected here. —— SOMERSET'S It is for Rest and Recreatio: Be for Two Month NEW YORK, August 1l.—Among the first passengers to lend from the American line steamship Paris today was Lady Henry Somerset, the famous temperance advo- cate, who has recently drawa renewed at- tention to j.erself by her vehement de- nunciation of the “living pictures” in Lon- don. She was accompanied by her son, H. S. Somerset, anc his friend, A. H.

PITTSBURG, Pa., August 11.—The wages conferences in different branches of the glass manufacturing trade will be held in Pittsburg next week, and it is the expecta- tion that the end of the week will see all the scales settled for another year. The first conference will probably be between the National Association of Pressed and Blown Table Ware Manufacturers and the officials of the Amerfcan Flint Glass Work- ers’ Union on Wednesday. In the scale of the green glass bottle blowers there is promise of a fight between the manufacturers and the employes, unless the former recede from the stand taken at .their meeting in Pittsburg three weeks ago, when they agreed to dmand big reductions in wages, monthly pay Gays and a revision of the apprentice rules. After the confer- ence on the pressed table ware scale it is expected that the flint bottle scale will be taken up again. The first meeting a weex ago resulted in a disagreement, because the manufacturers demanded reductions run- ning from 10 to 20 per cent. —_— GAVE UP THE CHAIRMANSHIP.

EFFECT OF W ESTERN They Made Grain Easier on the € cago Market.- CHICAGO, Avgvst 11.—Grains opened easier today on account of more or less heavy showers throughout most of the corn belt outside of Kansas, but the government crop report made just after the close of the board yesterday was bullish and cables were firm, and these factors, together with buy- ing orders from the outside, caused the market to wrn firm. But business was light, owing to an indisposition to carry trades over Sunday, in view of the possibili- ties of the weather in the meantime, and fluctuations were confined to narrow limits. September wheat opened Séc. to 56 1-4. the latter yesterday's closing price; sold at 56 1-8Se., advanced to 56 1-2c., and fluctuated between 56 1-8a56 3-Sc. September corn started at Sia55 1-2c. against 55 3-4e. at the close of yesterday; sold off to 54 3-4c., up to 5S 1-2c., off to Sic, and then at 55 1-8e. May started 1-4c. lower at S3c., receded to 52 3-4c., rallicd to 53 5-Se., off to 52 7-Ke., and back to Sic. September oats sold between 31 1-Sc. and 31 1-2c., against 31 1-2a31 5-Se. at the close yesterday. . Provisions were strong on the theory that they are not on a parity with the advanced price of corn. The chief trading in pork was in the January futures, which ad- vanced from 13.62 1-2, to closing price yes- terday, 13.5, easing off to 13.82 1-2 later. Pork showed an advance of jc. at one time, but receded 2 September ribs gained 12 1-2c., but lost Se. of it. —>_—— RNING TO BARN BURNERS. ws Body of a Negro Found Ha Tree.
