Their Supplies Cut Of by the Recent Colorado Cloudburats. DENVER, Coro., July 27.—As a sequel to the series of cloudbursts there is a new and serious trouble confronting the people. It will take & month or even more for the railroads reaching several of the most im- portant mining camps to make sufficient repairs to enable the running ot trains, All of these camps depend on Denver for their daily supply of provisions and stocks. General depopulation of the towns and a suspension of mining operations until such time as the railroads are able 1o care for the requirements of the resi- ’| dents is not improbable. On Saturday the second clondburst oyer- took several teams that had been sent into the foothills for the purpose of bringing in the bodies of the dead, ana it was only by shouldering corpses that the searchers suc- ceeded in regaining the lower level. sl ARMENIAN FAMILY REUNITED.

There Is Now a United Demand Upon the Manufacturers for Higher Prices. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 27.—With the tailors’ strike,the workmen find them- the unions in alliance with the contractors against the manufacturers. What little concealment of this situation there was | yesterday was entirely cast aside to-day, and even the contractors themselves ad- mitted they had committees scurrying around about town to get all the contrac- | tors to come in and unite in a demand | upon the manufacturers for higher prices. They based their demand upon the con- tract submitted by the striking talors, which calls for higher wages and shorter hours for the coming year. 1t was the, opinion of tbe contractors that it would be the end of the week be- fore the demands of the contractors would be presented to‘the manufacturers. Unless the latter acquiesced the contractors could | not agree to the terms proposed by the tailors, Two hundred snd fifty young women, members of the United Garment-workers’ this morning.

Since her secret marriage on June 13 to young Leeds Vaughan Waters rumors have been afloat of legal difficuities, in which the family of the young man are taking an aggressive part. Mrs. Waters, the mother of the young man, is now in Paris, and it is said the Waters family is endeavoring to secure an annulment of the marriage.

This part of the re- port, however, is denied by the law firm. Before meeting Waters she had been married to Alfred Laurence Riggel, Fred- erick N. Blanc and Shirley Onderdonk, who is said to be still living. el R ELUPEMENT SPOILED. Daughter of an Aged Farmer Brings Him to His Senses. BENSONVILLE, N. Y., July 27.—Joseph K. Walworth, 65 years old, a widowerand well-to-do farmer, set out yesterday to elope with Busie Hail, the 19-year-old daughter of a neighbor, but thecouple were pursned and overtaken by the farm- er's daughter on a wheel.

TAKEN FROM THE FORT And Surrounded by a Double Line of Pickets During the Conference. FIRST OUTING IN TWO MONTHS Weyler’s Order Prohibiting Exporta- tion of Cuban Fruit Injures American Merchants. HAVANA, Cusa, July 27.—The son of General Lee and two gentlemen from the American consulate held an interview with the Competitor prisoners on July 24. They were not permitted to enter the prison, but the seven men of the Competi- tor were taken outside of the fort to a guaadhouse for a conference. General Lee, being slightly indisposed, was not able to be there in person. The prisoners were closely guarded, a double line of pickets being stationed | around the guardhouse. They had not | been out of their cells for two months. All appeared to be in fairly good health. 1t is understood the review of the Com- petitor case will be taken up in the Su- preme Couit at Madrid some time in Angust. Nothing whatever as yet has been done in the case. Strenuous efforts are being made by General Lee on behalf of the Government against the order of General Weyler pro- hibiting the export of fruit. This prohibi- tion is causing an immense damage to American commerce and business. The principal reason for the prohibition of the export of fruit to certain seaport towns is that they are virtually under the control of the rebels. The Spanish are not able to station large bodies of troops at all of these places, ror are the Cubans able to openly hold the places on account of the Spanish fleet, but a1l the Cubans shipping fruit are in sym- pathy with the rebels and furnish them with money. This order is an indirect blow at the rebel resources in Cuba, as the prohibition of the exportation of tobacco was to Ameri- cans. SIS E T CUBA’S PRESIDENT. Groundless Kumor That He Is im New York City. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 27.—There is no foundation for the rumor that Senor | Salvador Cisneros Betancourt, President of the republic of Cuba, is in New York, or even coming to the United States at the present moment. Dr. J aquin Castillo Duany, the Cuban subp-deiegate, said yes- terday: “On Saturday evening Senor Estrada Palma went to Central Vailey to spend Sunday with his family, and he did not say a word about the President coming. The news must come from a Spanish source. Our enemies are now inventing all sorts of things to destroy the moral effect of our unquestionable success. They report encounter after encounter in which the patriots are always defeated, and yet we know that, with few exceptions, the | fighting is for the present reduced to mere skirmishes.” | | S AR CUBAN REFUGEES QUARANTINED. Eleven Men Arrive at Nassau From a Yellow Fever Port. NASSAT, N. P., July 27.—Colonel Ces- pedes of the insurgent forces in Cuba, wounded, and ten other men, arrived here to-day in an oven boat.

The insurgents left seven of their number dead on the field and carried away with them the bodies of several others who were killed and a num- ber of wounded.

MADRID, Spary, July 27.—A Genoese firm of shipbuilders has refused to ratify the contract made by its agent with the Spanish Government for the purchase of two cruisers and their action has caused much excitement here. 1t is said that the vessels in ;huemon have been bought by the United States. —_— e e—— SAVINGS BANK DECISION. Validity of Rules Governing in Tiegard to asspciat " NEW YORK, N. Y., July 27.—Judge Daly, in the appellate term of the Supreme Court, to-day handed down a decision which is of interest to every savings bank depositor in the country. In it he holds that when a depositor subscribes to the rules of a savings bank governing deposits, which rules provide that ihe presentation of a bankbook shall be sufficient evidence of authority to the bank to make any pay- ment to the bearer, such payments shall be valid when there is no circumstance in connection with the passbook to justify suspicion. The decision is in the case of a depositor of the Citizens’ Savings Bank against that institution, who h.E' nearly $10.000 on deposit, and which deposit was withdrawn by another per: had obtained possession oluhl'coni:::ooh. Judge Daly’s decision was on an appeal.

ST. PAUL, Mi~~., July 27.—Professor J. E. Todd, State Geologist of South Dakota, who recently left Vermilion in charge of a geological surveying party for a tour of exploration in the Black Hills, is sending back reports of great interest concerning the discovery of an old volcano on Sand Creek, in the Bad Lands, not far from Hermosa. Near the point where Sand Creek empties into the White River is a hill some eighty feet in height. This hill, Professor Todd says, vibrates and groans aimost con- stantly. The squaw men living in the vicinity are given &s authority for the statement that it has once or twice trem- bled so violently as to overturn heavy wagons and has thrown down persons standing upon it. About half way up its side is a bed of volcanic ashes, between ten and fifteen feet in depth. Another peculiar formation is a valley near Pine Ridge, in which are numerous shifting dunes, which are believed to change their positions every change of the wina and are receiving much attention from the surveying party. Itisexpected the results of the expedition will pe of much value in science. —_——— DIED IN A SWIMMING POOL, W. B. Noble of Washington Expired Un- der Peculiar Ciroumstances. GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Coro., July 27.—W. B. Noble of Washington died in the swimming pool this evening, His family are in Bar Harbor. Me., for the summer and Mr. Noble had decided to-day to join them. He bhad purchased a rail- road ticket and ‘yhxle waiting for the train decided to go in the pool once more. Being an invalid under the care of an at- tendant and physician Mr. Noble was not easily satisfied and he sent the attendan | into the bathhouse on an errand while he sat on the steps leading into the pool. When the attendant returned Mr. Noble's head was bent forward under the water and he was taken out dead. Senator Mc- Pherson of New Jersey, who 1s stopping at Hotel Glenwood, took charge of the body and will await advices from the family. A DONNYBROOK OPENING, Anarchists Are Denied Seats in Lendon’s Socialist-Labor, Congress. A Battle Results, the Hall Is Cleared and the Meeting Adjourns for a Day. LONDON, Exc., July 27.—The fourth International Socialist Trade Council opened in this city to-day, 800 delegates being present. Among the American dele- gates are Lucian Sanial of the Socialist Trade and Labor Alliance; Matthew Ma- guire, who represents the Socialist-Labor party of New Jersey; H. Bestold, who rep- resents the brewery employes, and M. Dalski. It is expected that the congress will be more important than those held in Paris in 1889, in Brussels in 1891 and in Zurich in 1863. The chair was occupied by M. Cowey, a Northumberland miner, who made a speech welcoming the delegates. The re- port of the sectional meetin:s was read. A large majority of the delegates voted against. the admission of anarchists when the question of whether they be received as delegates was mooted in the plenary congress. A prolonged uproar followed, the an- archists and their supporters being appar- ently determined that they should be re- ceived as delegates. Finally the anarch- ists tried to storm the platform. Their opponents rallied in front of the platform and hurled the anarchists back in a fistic encounter. ‘The delegates of the British Inde- Labor party sided with the in their efforts to command recognition. James Keir Hardie, who formerly repre- sented the Labor party in the House of Commons, was conspicuous for his bawl- ing and his personal tbreats against the chairman. It having been found im- possible to restore even a semblance of order, the chairman declared the congress adjourned until to-morrow, and ordered the hall to be cleared. ——— FIG PLANIS FOR CALIFORNIA, Experiments to Be Made With Smyrna and Adriatic Varieties. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 27.—Cap- tain Heiges, chief of the pomological divi- sion of the Agricaltural Department, said to a CaLy corresvondent to-day that, if possible, the department would distribute some varieties of fig plants in California this season. “The Royal Horticultural Society of London,” said he, ‘‘obtained about 100 varieties of Smyrna and Adriatic fig plants, and we secured sixty-nine varie- ties from the society. They sre growing on the farm of John Rock at Niles, Cal. “Dr, Gustave Eisen of California, who is an autbority on horticulture, knows all about figs and has listed the various kinds. His list of names agrees with that of the Royal Horticultural Society. Our prin- cipal object in growing the mxtruims varieties’is to properly name and classify the fruit. Some of each kind will be sent to the department for that purpose. Ido not know whether or not Mr. Rock will have plants to distribute in California, but I expect to hear from him soon in relation to this matter.” Captaln Heige says fis«mwing prom- ises to be an important industry, not only in California, but in Northern and Eastern States.® He says they are being success- fully grown in Illinois, in Washington State and as far north as Canada. Of course the fruit grown in the North and East is only for. immediate consumption, or for canning or pickling, as the figs can- not be sun dried and cured except in Cali- fornia. The Department of Agriculture will issue a bulletin on figs in about ten days. ——. FOK DEPENDENT EX-SLAVES. Cornerstone of a Home Laid at &t Joseph, Mo. ST.

LOSS OVER A MILLION. Founded Thirty-Three Years Ago and Owned by Harland & Wolff. BUILDERS OF THE OCEANIC Figures Showing the Business Growth, Enterprise and Originality of the Firm. BELFAST, IreLanD, July 27.—The great shipbuilding yards of Harland & Wolff, in this city, were burned to-day. The loss is $1,250,000. They covered eighty acres. The firm employed upwsrd of 8000 hands. 1In 1853 the foundation of what has been known for years as Harland & Wolff's shipyard was laid on Queens Island, and the Mary Sewhouse, a sailing ship-of 1239 tons register, was launched in the follow- ing year. It was owned by R. Hickson & Co., and Edwara Harland was general manager. At that time it covered four scres of ground and turned out 6707 tons of shipping in the period from 1853 1o 1858. In the latter year it was sold to Mr. Harland. At the time of the fire it cov- ered over seventy acres and employed at times 10,000 men and never less than 7000, and in October last had ships of 33,000 aggregaie tonnage under hand. The gro-vth of the business is shown as follows: From an aggregate tonnage of 6707 in the five years ending in 1358 the aggregate rose to 30 vessels of 30,276 tons in the period ending in 1864; then 36 ves- sels of 28,023 tons; then 17 vessels of 46,282 tons; in the period ending in 1879 44 ves- sels of 57,068 tons; in the five years ending 1884 104,025 tons; in the period ending in 1889 156,077 tons, and during the four years ending December, 1893, 247,777 tons. After standing alone two years Mr. Har- land took G. W. Wolff as his partner, and they pegan by building three iron steam- ers for Bibby, Sons & Co., of Liverpool. Mr. Harland’s originality and independ- ence of thought at once assertea itself, and he departed from professional orthodoxy. He did not build fat, tubby ships, but long, lean ones; he increased the length without increasing the breadth of beam; he got great strength by the extension of the ironwork, so that the hull became really a “box girder’’; he made the masts all of one length, abolished yards, reduced the number of sails, and in divers other ways made changes in the form of steam- ers which time showed to be improve- ments, but which were viewed with sus- picion, and often with derision. The earliest steamer of the long, lean type which entered the Mersey from Belfast was scoffed at and foreordained to Davy Jones, and the immense Campania, built by this firm, is even now viewed with sus- picion by seamen. Every boat now in the White Star fleet has been built by Harland & Wolff. The Oceanic, which for years ran between San Francisco and the Orient under the fiag of the Occidental and Oriental Company, first of the series built to equal and excel the Cunarders, had 400 feet keel, 32 feet hold and only 41 feet beam; and she inau- gurated a new type of ocean steamer, both in the principles of construction and in the improvements of the internal fittings. In this, for instance, cabin passengers were first carriea amidships; hitherto they had been at the stern, where the heaving and the vibratign are the greatest. The success of tais vessel led to the building of the line entirely at Beliast. ON EASTERN DIAMONDS. Standing of the Clubs and Scores of the Games in the National League Yesterday. Per Cruss.

NEBRASKA CITY, NEBR., July 27.—At an early hour Sunday morning John Ricker, a nacking-house employe, was shot and killed at a house of ill repute by Mrs. Anna Sopher. Ricker, with some companions, bad been drinking, and they called at the house and were refused ad- mittance. It is claimed that Mrs. Sopher, from an upper window, fired the shot which killed the youth. She and a man named Spencer were arrested pending an | inve-tigation. This evening news reached the city that a mob of packing-house men was forming with the avowed purpose of lynching the woman and man. The Sheriff placed a strong guard about the jail and did all in his power to protect the prisoners. At midnight it is reported that the plans for the attack upon the jail are complete, and that the mob is on the river bottoms preparing for its work. The intention, as near as can be learned, is to move on the jail about 3 A. M., and, as the city and county officers have had warning, stub- born resistance is promised, and several prominent citizens are out seeking the angry men to try and dissuade them from their purpose. The efforts of the peace- makers to find the mob have been so far unsuccessful, as the leaders are trying to avoid observation. Death of @ Great Publiciat.
