CUNNINGHAM & SON Bailout Warns Secretary Carlisle R»> carding Proposed Bull Kighta. New York, Aug. 5.—The following letter has been directed to Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle: "It is announced that ten bulls have been shipped from the City of Mexico to the Atlanta exposition for the purpose of giving exhibitions of ball fights. I am informed by counsel that my appeal to the president from yonr department's decision, admitting these bulls, acts as a stay. You should therefore hold the bulls at tha frontier port of entry pending the decision of the president. Inasmuch as your decision has had the effect of encouraging the importation of bulls, and as bull fights are being announced in various quarters of the country in consequence, I have no reason to believe that the president will uphold your decision, which was a misconstruction of a section of the tariff law, which in effect seeks to exclude all things of immoral use. Certainly, if you admit the bulls pending the decision of the president, I am of the opinion that you will be liable to impeachment at the next session of congress under the statutes. I have the onor to be faithfully yours, "WILLIAM HOSEA BALLOU." WHECK NEAR PGMBERION. NO AMERICANS KILLED WINSLOW BLOCK, PUNX'X. tims at Kuchen. Only British Were the Vic- Chicago, Aug. 5.—Walter Barnes and Frank Williams were theorising on the Holmes' case Saturday night while sitting in the rear part of O. A. Henla & Company's jewelry store, 570 West Madison street. All the grewsome details had been recalled one by one and the conversation became decidedly interesting to both young men. It finally assumed the form of an argument over the merits of the different methods supposed to have been employed by the terrible Holmes in doing away with his numerous victims. Barnes said he had heard that the feeling while being smothered to death was not as bad as drowning, and his curiosity led him to suggest to Williams that he (Barnes) would enter the vault and have the door shut— just a little while, yon know—and that he would tell how It seems to a man who is about to be smothered. The Door Would Not Budge. Williams was nothing loth to try tha experiment suggested by Barnes, and so the latter climbed into the big steel box, and curled up in the shallow vacancy between the row of drawers and the door. The heavy door swung shut and Williams pulled the lever that forces it into its jamb. He did not pull the lever clear over, but he pulled it so far that when he heard Barnes faintly calling for him to open the door a few minutes later it could not be moved. Williams jerked and tugged at the door, while the sweat came out all over him. He heard Barnes begging for his release in barely audible tones, and strained every muscle to move the door. But it remained as firm as Gibraltar and Williams shouted for help.

Thirteen Missionaries in All Butchered by Chinese—Death the Ijeast Part of the Sufferings of the As- sassinated Women — Experience Engineer Killed and a Number of Passengers Fatally Injured. Phoenixville, Pa., Aug. 5.—The passenger train on the Pickering Valley railroad due hero at 8.40 last night ran into a cow a short distance from Pemberton.

The engineer, Joseph Brown, was instantly killed and tne fireman dangerously injured, while half a dozen passengers were perhaps fatally injured. A score of Salvation army soldiers were on the train. The wreck occurred near the spot where so many members of the Penriypacker family were killed in a wreck Bome years ago. ALFARO ADVANCING. All Towns in His Route Have Submitted. New York, Aug. 5.—A dispatch from Panama says: GuayVluil, Ecuador, advices state that & report has just been received in Guayaquil which says that General Alfaro has intercepted important dispatches from General Sarasti to his confidential agents on the coast. These dispatches disclose the fact that General Suvasti is not prepared to give battle, and that he has already began the tf-ork "of abandoning the i>ositions he now holds.

Cumpoa Hemmed In. New York, Aug. 5.— Estrada Palma, the Cuban delegate, made the following official statement yesterday: "We believe that Gen. Martinez Campos is hemmed in unable to move until reinforcements reach him. and we hare received information that the reserve t he called for from Santiago, Santa Clara and other places have been i ntercepted and held back. My corresjwndenl writing from Marucamllo," Serior Palma continued, "places Campos' force at 9,000 men, including those ill wad wounded, and estimates that not more than a third are fit for fighting. Both Antonio and .Tose Maceo are outside of Bayaino with more than 5,000 armed insurgents. I can assure all that next news from Bayaino will be of a startling nature. The Spanish press in Cuba, with the exception of three papers, are showing a disposition to accord us fair treatment. This is a great point gained, because to win we mast have the aid of the press. In the ten years' war the entire Spanish press was against us. The rumor that General Cam]x)s' son was wounded in the battles of Valenanela, which was at first strenuously denied, has been confirmed, the fact having bin-n published in the Havana Express and republished in tl»e newspapers. AND AIjIJ OVER HIJOOMERS. Unconscious When Released. He had been locked in twenty-five minutes and was sadly in need of a breath of fresh air, when Mr. Hesla grabbed a wrench and began to unfasten the nuts that held the lever on the door. It was the work of bu$ a few moments and then with a mighty pull on the rope the door came open. Bafbes was lifted out of the vault unconscious and black in the face, but he recovered before a doctor arrived. When asked how it felt to be smothered he made sQme incoherent reply. Then he said he Would go out and take a walk in the fresh air. It all turned out without the services of an undertaker being required, but this is due, Mr. Hesla explained, to tlie fact that Frank Williams failed to push the lever of the vault door over as far as it would go. Too Weak To Be Heard. O. A. Hesla heard the call from a back room in the stare and in a moment he was pulling with Williams upon the door handle. The jeweler saw that no two men could move the door, and rushed wildly out on the sidewalk. He returned with half a dozen strong men and began an assault upon the vault door. A rope was fastened upon the handle, and everybody pulled. The door would, not budge a hair's breadth. A crowbar was found somewhere and a vain attempt was made to pry the door open. "Ave you there yet, Walterif" Frank Williams asked, too badly scared to know what he was saying. Barnes could.make no reply. She Is Confined to Her Bed, Hut la 1 111 proving. Rochester, N.

The Quills are old people, wealthy and have a family of grown up children. Quill is 75 years old and very feeble, but ho advocated bloomers. They quarrelled viciously, and finally Mrs. Quill attempted to pull out her husband's whiskers. No succeeding she cut them off. The fight was so bitter that both the old people are under a physician's care and it is feared Mrs. Quill will become insane. Death the lioast Suffering. United States Consul HLxon, who is stationed at Foochow, with a party of volunteers, upon receipt of the news of the massacre, started on a steam launch for the scene and has returned, bringing with him the wounded Americans.

Columbia, S. C., Aug. 5.—Hugh M. Talley and T. Moore, society men, were scheduled to fight a duel here Saturday afternoon, but Sheriff Cathcart heard of the affair during the morning and arrested both gentlemen, requiring them to give bonds to keep the peace for a year and a day. The affair grew out of a dispute at a ball at a summer resort near here Friday night. Moore, who is several years Talley's junior, accused Talley or endeavoring to make a young woman at the dance slight him and prejudice her against him by calling him a "kid." Moore demanded satisfaction, and Talley agreed to accommodate him Saturday afternoon, but the action of the sheriff prevented the meeting on the field of honor. Both young gentlemen belong to the old Bourbon stock and their families are among the most prominent in the state. They are relatives. Fifteen-Year-Old Girl Killed. Paterson, N.

Miss Marie Stookman, of Germany, who is said to bo now in this country, has recently patented a series at printed designs - in raised type, by means of which workers who arc blind are enabled readily to count the stitches and to determine the colon needed for any special pattern. In fact, these designs are much th6 samp as those with which we are fainlliarui Berlin wool work, cross am} ftobeun stitches, the small blocks forming the design being raised and molded m various ways to mark tho varieties in color. If canvas in one of its toaiiy forms be choscn, or any other materia} having a raised thread which thi worker can count by sliding tho finger or needle across it, an intelligent jJerson will with a little preliminary guidance, soon be able to work cross, fiat, long and short, tassel and Gobelin stitches .with due attention io colon and shades of color. It will then bfe open to her to make borders stitable for portieres, mantel pieces, lesidea cushions, rugs and smaller articles at many sorts.

Great excitom?nt prevails amontr Gomez's Proclamation. The rebel leader, Rabi, mentioned above, is the same \tho the Spaniards said was killed in the battle with Captain General Campos between Manzanillo and Bayamo over a week ago. In regard to that affair nothing authoritative is as yet known here. Communication between Bayamo and Manzanillo seems to be almost entirely cut off. and everybody here is eagerly awaiting some important news of the engagement. The writer of this letter saw yesterday a letter from Bayamo saying that during the engagement Captain General Campos Uad the heel blown off his right shoe and cane broken by a bullet from the enemy, and that before he reached Bayamo, he became so exhausted from walking that some of his attendants had to make a litter for him and carry him into the city on it. Insurgents Take Sixty Prisoners— Five Spies Hanged. Santiago de Cuba, July 24, via Key Wast, Fla., Aug.) 5.—In this district of Cuba after some days of quiet the insurgents are again beginning to make themselves felt. Another engagement has taken place at Baire, the town where the first insurgents gathered at the beginning of the present revolution. The place was garrisoned by a lieutenant and sixty soldiers. On July 20 a detachment of 2,000 rebels under the leader Rabi appeared there and demanded that the garrison surrender, whereupon the single officer with his sixty troops entrenchod themselves in a church and kept the rebels at bay for a day and a half. At the end of that time, however, the lieutenant surrendered with his men. Tho rebels, after disarming the surrendered soldiers, let them go free, but they held the officer prisoner. Then, after having hansed five or six persons as spies, they uft Baire. k V % ' " " .. XXIII. w * ? * ¥■ - ' Do you remember about the Bedford-Cord?
