10WA WOMEN TAKE THE LEAD They Organize the First Republican Club in the Country. THEIR INFLUENGCE TO BE FELT. Interesting Facts ¥arnished By the State Mine Inspector—A Natural Paint Mine—~A Log Cabin Oampaign—lowa News, Women Repnblican Drs Morx T, July 16— [Special o Tite Brr.)--Perhaps the first woman's re- publican club organized this year is the club at West Union in Fayette county. It was organized before the Chicago convention as an Allison club, the ladies composing it de- siring to do whatever lay in their power to secure the nomination of Mr. Allison for president. Although disappointed in that result, they have transferred their allegi- nnce loyally to General Harrison, and are now uctively at work to influence votes for him, There is a field for the women's clubs which they propose to fill much after tho manner in which the women’s clubs in England support the fortunes of Mr. Gladstone: or Lord Randolph Churchill. Without bemng able to vote themselves, their influerice upon voters will be very marked in the campaign, and they will hold meetings 10 be addressed by prominent speakers and endeayor in every way they can to make votes for the republican candidate. Mrs, J. Ellen Foster, who recently addressed th: club, presentéd the subject of women's clubs 10 the national republican committee at New York, and will endeavor to spread the organ- zation: throughout the United States. The adies at West Union have prepared a form of constitution and will be glad to assist any Who may desire to organize women's clubs. fnspector has recently been made publie, and it gives a large amount of interesting informa- tion about their work. Since lowa adopted the system of having mine inspectors, whose duties it should be to supervise the health and sanitary arrangements of the mines, and guard against ace nts, they have done very satisfactory work in each particular. The last legislature changed somewhat the systom of inspection, by providing that the state should be divided into three distri each having an inspector, In the first d tricts comprising the counties of Appalioose, Adams, Jefferson, Lucas, Marion, Monroe, Page, Taylor, Van Buren, Wapello, Warr and Wayne, there were eleven faf thirty-four ' non-fatal aceidents the last biennial period. The of coal during this period wa: during total output 2,601,274 tons AC fnd for each non-fatal ac Which is rather a high per cent of safoty. the second district composed of the counties of Mahaska, Kcokuk, Jasper, Scott, Mar- shall, Hardin and Muscatine 'the output of conl was 1,045,078 There were six fatal accidents in this district. In the third istrict including the counties of Boone, allas, Greene, Douglas, Hamilton, Polk, Webster and Story the output of coal was 1,602,412 tons with one fatal accident for ‘each’ 160,241 tons. In comparing these fig- ures with the average of Illinois years 1883-3-1-5 there appears to have been one life lost in that state for each 188,831 tons mined, a greater ratio of fatality than in any of the lowa districts. In the anthra- cite region of Pennsylvania the average loss of lifo is stated to bo one for each 102,607 tons of coal. So in all respects the manage- ment of the Tawa mines compares very {a- vorably with mining in other states. ———— He Took to the Woods. == , ..

Rev. E. B. Graham, pastor of the First United Presbyterian church announced Sunday to his congregation, that at the next meeting of the Presbytery, he would tender his resignation as pastor of the church..

Mrs. W. P. Shaffroth, a comely little mu- latto woman, filed information with City At- torney Smith yesterday charging Dr Will Franklin and Madam Bernard his wife, with obtaining money under false pretenses and a warrant was issued for their arrest. A Bre reporter had a talk with Mrs. Shaffroth who resides at 10: Thirteenth street, and she said ths months she has been afilicted with some mysterfous allment that was rapidly de- stroying her system. Having. tried many medicines without beneficial resuits, shé determined one day a couple of weeks since, to send for Madame Bernard, who is a mivd-reader and clairvoyant, and endeavor to ascertain the nature of her complaint through the medium of her occult seience. Mrs. Bernard called, gazed steadily in the invalids’ eyesa moment, and then informed her that sho. was under a spell, placed upon her by some secret enemy. She 'then proceeded to tell her of many events in her past life, and predicted glorious possibilities for the future. This lattor con- tingency, however, depended upon her complying with ' certain requirements, chief of which wns tnat she call in the madam's husband, Dr. Franklin, and subject herself to his 'treatment. The pa- tient ccnsented willingly and eagerly, for the crudite madam had forther informed her thatthis was a final resort with her, that if she did not treat with the doctor she would certainly die. Dr. Franklin came, and he told Mrs, Shaffroth that shewas in 4 danger- ous condition, that an evil pressure was welghing heavily upon her, but that hie could cure her within ninc diys. He said his bill would be 20, in tho eveut of a cure, and nothing if he failed. M Shaffroth _acquiesced in _this arcang ment, and gave the doctor a hand- some gold watch as security for the payment of the bill. “'he dootor then took me in my bedroom,” said Mrs, Shaffroth, " and made me strip off my clothes. He then felt of my arms and limbs and back, and spitting on me rubbed me all_over, at thesame time mumbling something to himself. After he had treated me in this manner for a half hour or so, his wife came in. They got # tubof water, made it strong with salt, and tearing a shect into strips, saturated them in the brine and swuthed my entire person im them, Then they put me to bed.” This_system of n'o:\tnw said sho submitted her without any perceptible Am(amro finally being convinced thats humbAgged, she so informed the doctor, and asked him to return her wateh. This he futsed to do, and fearing that he was prop: ing to leave tho town, Mrs, Shaftroth paid him the money and She bud her husband, who = works ‘in the Pa- cific express oftice, determined to resort to the law, and learn whether these peopie were not liadle for their fraudulent practice. Leaving the complaimants, the reporter bent his steps to the home of Dr. Frauklin and wife on Twelfth street, between Chicago and Cass, A handsome, bright-faced, intelligent-look- ing colored lady was found sitting on the front porch, and in responso to an interroga- tory as to her identity she handed the scribe a card, which ran thus: - MADAM BERNARD A NATURAL BORN MIND READER. I can cause you to be successful in all branches of business. “Does Dr, Franklin reside here, too?" was the next question. “Oh, yes,' said the woman. ‘He's my husband and we've never been divorced yet,' and she laughed, showing two rows of teeth that fairly gleamed in their whiteness. “*But the name, Madam Bernard “Why you newspaper men certainly know that we professional people never do busi- ness under our rightful names. We must have something high sounding.” “How do you know that I am a newspaper man?"” inquired the reporter at this prompt declaration of his caling. “Why don’t you ask me how I can tell you all about yourself since you were so high, and what the balance of your life is going e. Shaffroth epeatedly, cment, and e was being “‘Well then how can you tell something about myself." “That will cost you &1, but you're here on other business; you see I can read you like a page of Tk BEE; whatis it I can do for on,” (A Reeovering from the slight confusion the rapid revelations of the bright-eyed necro- mancer had caused, she wasbluntly asked about the treatment Mrs. Shaffroth had been subjected to at the hands of herself and husband. “Oh, that's an experience we often have. ‘We waited on this lady, and not only cured her of fl'fi ‘with which she has been afilicted singe.childhood, but cured her of a sort of muscular rheumatism, which has been caus- ln{har much pain and more apprehension. ‘When through, she wunted to beat us out of our pay, but we would not have it so, and now I sup) she intends to try to make us trouble. Just wait and ’ll send for my hus- band,” and calling a little wench 1 a Mother Hubbard she said: ‘‘Jennie, you-go after ‘Will and I'll give you a half-dollar.” Jennie floated off like an ebony thistle down, but returned ina remarkably short time with the doctor. Ho said that he had waited on Mrs, Shaf- {roth, who imagined that she had been hoo- dooed, and that he had cured hery and she had endeavored to avoid paying him, but he had security and she was forced to liquidate. He told of the nature of his treatment, which is something after the massage system, only he claimed that the good results were ef- fected by the means of a pecu- har electricity with which his person was charged. He claimed that 1 gift, and he had been aware of it ever since he was very young, and that he made a good living oub of it, together with the faculties of presoience with which his wife was endowed. He said they were both good cooks, and when there was a dearth of practice m their profession they went to cooking. He was an honest looking, tolerably well posted fellow, and seems to believe in all he said. 'When apprized of cie likelihood of the speedy arrest of himself and wife, hie swiled and said it wouldn’t be any trick at ull to convinee the court of their in- nocence of any wrong-doing. In the afternoon the warrant was served on the dusky couple and they were taken before Judge Berka. They claimed that they were not ready for trial, and a contin- uance was granted until to-day at 3 o'clock p. m. -5 PLUMBERS GO OUT. A Heavy Union Fine and What It Will Lead to, There is trouble brewing in the ranks of the journoymen and master plumbers, the tirst feature of which has already manifested itself in a strike which has just taken place in John Rowe's shop on Summit avenue. Three days ago nine men to whom that.gen- tleman gave employment deliberately left the shop, leaving but one plumber behind them, & man named Henry Gradle. When asked why they left in so'summary & man- ner, they answered that = Gradle b been expelled from the plumbers’ union because he had refused to pay fine which the latter organization had as- sessed ngainst him. 1t was claimed by some that this fine was assessed against John Towe aud that the latter had refused to pay it. A Brr reporter, yosterday leaened that Gradie employed by Rowe on a water job near the corner of Sixteenth and Nichols streets. The conneetion with the ‘water bad been made and the pipe extended beyond the curb. Night was approaching and it was claimed that the soil was treacher- ous _an ired immediate filling. Gradle was ordered to extend an from, the lead one wun in beltind the eurb. He the order.

Gradle refusing to pay was expelled from the union and his associates refused go work with him. Mr. Rowe is now in.t)je east trying to engago non-union men. If he should be successful, the old questionof.‘‘scab’ und union men will be revived am possibly with bad results, because the Plumbegs’ union has lately re- solved, to work with no tradesman on ar building who is ota member of his trade's union, rAfWAY i ey A Guy Fawkes Scheme—Discovered Geweral Ttems, The inside workings of a little plot de- signed, so it is sapl, go injure some one con- nected with the H.d M., have just devel- oped. On the night of July8 a train con- sting of a half dozen cars was derailed at ibson by an obstruction placed upon the track. Asis usualin such cases, a goodly number of people were attracted to the scene. Among the number was a night watchman employed by the company under the supervision of Chief Detective Melio. While engaged in assisting in tho work of getting the cars on the track he saw a man through the darkness light something with a cigar and turn and swiftly disappear. astening to thoi spot where he had stood the watchman found o fuse burning . and by prompt action extinguished it. It was then discov- ered that the fuse was attachied to a can which contained pertiap one half a pound of powder which was tamped in with coal, The mb, if it may be called such, was taken in charge by the watchman and turned over to the officials of the company. - Yestorday it wus learned that the man Wwho committey the act'is well known and will be arrested very shortly. He s said to be a switchman, Railroad employes say that it was doubtless placed there by somo ono in the employ of the B, & M. who stood in with the witch- man mentioned, and was an_act committed for the express purpose of bringing the striking employes into disrepute, on the other hand it is claimed by those in the em- ploy of the 13, & M. that had the thi Ploded the men engaged around the wrecl would have been more or less injured, pe #haps killed. The derailment of the train is mentioned, and the placing of the can in jus- aposition to the scene of the wreck are two facts which cannot as they say, be separated, one being a sequel to the other.

JOHN CASSON IS He Receives a Blow On the Head With a Billiard Cue Administered By Andy Ruby — A Battle With Axes and Beer Mugs. THE VICTIM. Disorderly Dive Closed Up. Trees’ saloon on the corner of Sixteenth and Cuming streets was the scene of two bloody encounters last evening that would compare well with the wildest stories told of pioneer days. The first is recounted below, uud the second was a mur- derous assault made by one Audy Ruby ufion John Casson that may terminate fatally with the injured man. The two men are perfect opposites in every way. Casson, who isa contractor, is a quiet, inoffensive man who always avoids a quarrel. Ruby is a noisy and blatant rowdy who is always boasting of his prowess as a fighter and the number of men he has ‘‘licked." When Ruby is filled with liquor, which is pretty often, he is a perfect fiend, but is al- ways careful to pick out for ubuse some small and inoffenslve man. The two were about to pluy a zame of pool last evening when Ruby got ugly over a mere pretext and threatened to ‘‘pound the stufiing” out of ~ Casson, The contractor mnot wishing to disgeace himself by engaging in a quarrel, laid down his billiard cue and started to walk from the room. The rowdy followed him, and, with a fearful string of ouths, he s Casson a blow ovep the head hi cue that laid him out apparcatly dead. Ruby im- mediately fled. Casson, who in the course of . time regained consciousness, was taken to the central station, City Phy- sician Ralph was called and he found that Casson was very seriously and perhaps fatally infured.

Free's saloon was the battle ground of another bloody encounter about twi- light Iast evening. “Two fellows, badly in- toxicated, named James Flannigan and James Riley, came into the saloon” and at- tempted to pick a quarrel with one of the bartenders. I'or their trouble they were forcibly ejected from the saloon. Arming themselves with a savage looking but rusty ax thoy stole in the back way and with i wild war whoop they swept down upon the bartenders like a band of Indians, The beer- jerkers hastily gathered each a handfui of heavy glass mugs and commenced hurling them at the heads of the besiegers, Several of the glasses did bloody work, and the bartend- ers also succeeded in_despoling the feliows of their battle-ax. None of the three bar- tenders were hurt to speak of, while both Flanuigan and Riley each received a num- ber of uncanny cuts as souvenirs of the en- counter. Flannigan had his forehead laid open above his left eye and had his tongue split open, that useful member happening to e hanging outside his mouth when a beer giass struck him in the face, Riley received no less than four ugly scalp wounds. HBoth he and his belligerent partner were arrested and taken to the al station where wounds were dressed by City Phy Ralph, The police closed up the saloon and ar- rested the proprietor for keeping a disorderly house, A Long Bicycle Trip.

Loxpox, July 16.—In the commons, to- night, replying to certain interrogatories, Smith, the government leader, said that the statement that the government had received from the attorney general any communica- tion which had come to his knowledge as counsel in the O'Donnel-Times case, was without the slightest foundation. Sexton asked whether the attorney general was con- sulted in preparing the motion or framing the bill in regard to the proposed commis- sion and Smith replied equivocally that the bill is drawn and hence there had been none- cessity to consult the attorney general. Par- nell expressed dissatisfaction with the mat- ter, and for the purpose of obtaining a full debate moved adjour: . The speaker said that tha J out of order, and refused to hear arguments, Gladstone as] if @& vote on & motion to grant formal leave to introduce a bill for the appointment of a commission of inquiry would be tuken to-night. Smith hoped that it would, but said that if it was opposed it could not be taken. He certainly would not occupy the time of the liousc at any length discussing this measure. Parnell—*"Does the right honorable gentle- man (Smith) mean to say that we are not to be allowed to debate the bill, but must accent, like sheep, the jJudgment of a jury of butchers ¥ Smith replied once more that if there was opposition it would probably hinder a vote being taken to-night, whereupon the Par- nellite members left the house to consult. Parnell said outside that the position assumed by the government was intolerable and un- heard of. He must examine every possible bearing of the bill before he would permit it to proceed in the house, The government had offered him as an alleged criminal a tribunal of their own choosing, but had sought to debar him from debating their position, After mudnight, Smith formally moyed that the house permit the introduction of the Lill, Parnell opposed the motion. A more monstrous proposition had never been made Y u minister occupying such a position, said Parnell, 1f the letters are genuine, he (Parncll) 18 not an _ “houorable,” but a dishonorable member. Parnell knew no resson why he should trust the government and accept the bill without knowing the names of the Jury or of the judges selected by Smith. He would not say to-night whether he accepted or rejected it. If he finds on cxamining the details of the bill In committee that thoy fail to insure a fair inquiry he will claim his right to enforce the judgment of the house. ‘Aftor samo further debate, on motion of Smith the bill was read the fivst time, il L Boulanger Still in Danger.
