Chicago, July 18. The circle of the sun
cut a wide swnth in the population of
Chicago last week and yesterday. It had
its victims in every grade of society, and
left them in every part of the city. The

ferers were pant all help, and night and
morning added to the death list. Twenty
deaths from sunstroke were reported yes

MRS. LUCY PARSONS.
The Female Anarchist Raises a Row at a
Labor Picnic
Chicago, July 18. At a pionio of the
International Brewers'and Maltsters'union
at Ogden's Grove yesterday, Mrs. Lucy
Parsons, wife of the condemned anarchist,
took possession of refreehmeat stand near
the center of the grounds, and proceeded
to aolioit purchasers for photographs of
her husband aud his colleague Spies. She
Also had for sale. 6 number of copies of
Spies' biography, written by his proxy
wife, Miss Nina Yanzandt. A large
crowd soon gathered around her,
and the offioers of the onion who
are conservatives, endeavored to induce
Mrs. Parsons to withdraw from the
((rounds, as they did not wish by allowing
her to vend her wares to identify them
selves with anarchy and bring the union
into disrepute.
Mrs. Parsons, however, refused to ac
cede to their request, claiming she had a
Tight to be there and sell books and pic
tures for the benefit of the relief fund. A
number of members of the union es
poused Mrs. Parson's cause, and the pres
ident, Wm. Heppe, said if she did not get
out he would resign. At this moment
some one in the orowd shouted to Mrs.
Parsons that there were a number of "fly
oops" watching her, and that she had
better be careful. This seemed to en
rage the woman and she launched
into a tirade against the police, say
ing it was a pity Inspeotor
Bonfield and all his men did not die in
Haymarket square. One of the deteotives
present now stepped np and told her to
leave the grounds.
She refused, and shouted to the crowd:
"I am here exercising my rights as an
American citizen, in free speech. If you
Russians and Bohemians haven't courage
to do likewise, you best go back where yoa
came from."
While she was talking a detective harried
to a neighboring telephone and asked his
captain for instructions. He was told to
not molest Mrs. Par sous as long as she
refrained from speech making, aud so the
matter was dropped. A heavy rain, which
came np soon after, compelled the female
anarchist to do what the police officers of
the union had been unable to do, pack up
and leave.
A Colored Organization.
St. Louis, July 19. The oolored Knights
Templar, Grand Commandery of Missouri,
embraoing the states of Missouri, Arkan

ored branch of the order, tie aiiirmed
the legitimacy of the colored branch of
he order in this country. He made a
' iicinber of recommendations. The ad

Blaylock that he must ride the heat to

Corrigan here interrupted, . saying:
"The boy is riding to my orders;" and

used language to the jndge which is said
to have been offensive.
A Kentucky Blaze.
Louisville, July 19. A special to the
Times from Owensboro, Ky., says a de
structive fire broke out there about 12
o'clock last night, whioh consnmod nine
buildings. It was discovered first in the
rear of V'andiner's livery stable, on Main
street, and soon all adjoining buildings
were in llames. A high wind was blowing,
and the flames lapped everything np for
two blocks. The family or U. VV. Miller,
undertaker, had a narrow escape. Twelve
fine horses were burned to a crisp. The
fire company were Unfiled in their at
tempt to save property, as the water
works wore not in working order. The

amounting to $20,000.
A PREACHER'S BRUTALITY.
He Chains Up a Boy for Ten Days as
a Prisoner.-
Chicago, Jrfily 18. A local paper says
Robert O. Ferguson, aged 12, of La
Grange, 111., who has boon confined in the
"Christian homo," at Humboldt park, for
some time, was found on the street yes
terday with iron shackles on his feet.
He tolls the following story: There
were at the ''home" five other boys
besides himself. They were fed on po
tatoes and water, each receiving a certain
allowance three times a day, provided
that he had not been unruly. Rob
ert said he stood the treatment
a few days, and then escaped and trudged
home. His father at once sent him back.
Ou his arrival Rev. Arnold, who is in
charge of the place, chained him in an
np-stairs room, and put him on half
rations. He was kept thore four days, and
was then released on a promise of good
behavior. That night he once more
started for LaGrange, but was caught
and again chained in the room.
This time he was kept iu shackles ten
days. Yesterday while Arnold was at
church, Robert, with the assistance of the
other boys, escaped totho street, where he
was found.
Just as the boy finished telling his story,
Arnold walked into the station to claim the
boy. He admitted that part of the boy's
story was true, but said that he only acted
in kindness. Arnold was arrested.
GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
Bill to Prevent White and Colored Chil
dren Being Educated Together.
Atlanta, July 19. Considerable oxoite-
ment has been created in Atlanta, by the
introduction by William Glenn, of White
field, of a bill in the legislature making it
a penal offense to educate wnite and
colored children in the same institution.
There is a olnuse in the Georgia constitu
tion against this, but much attention has
never been paid to it. The public became
interested in the matter when the board
of visitors of the state university reported
officially to Governor Gordon that white
children were being educated with
oolored children at the Atlanta
university. This university has an annual
appropriation from the state of $8,000
for the education of colored children.
Mr. Glenn's bill is the outoome ot the
exoitement raised by the announcement
of the board of visitors, and provides a
penalty for any teacher, principal or
trustee of a school where whites and blacks
are commingled, of not less than $1,000
fine, twelve months in the chain gang, or
six months in jail. White teachers in
oolored schools claim the right to teaoh
their children together with negroes.
GALE AT BALTIMORE.
Houses Unroofed and Struck by Light
ningRain and Hail.
Baltimobe, July 19. The storm of yes
terday afternoon was followed by another
of almost equal force about 3 o'clock this
morning, several houses on Cumberland
street, near Gilmore, were struck by light
ning and unroofed, and their contents al
most entirely destroyed by rain.
Harlem park, the most beautiful
resort within the city, this morn
ing presents an appearance
of desolation. Nearly all the trees are
damaged and many of them entirely de
stroyed. Unroofed houses are seen all
over the western section of the city, and
the aggregate damage is heavy, though
individual losses are comparatively light.
At the City Marine hospital, down the Pa
tapsco river, the hail of yesterday after
noon broke all the windows on the south
side, aud the entire building was flooded.
Tho rain fall for the twelve hours ending
at 4 o'clock this morning, was 13 inches.
, Robbed Their Own Safe.
Aliiuvueq.uk, N. M., July 19. In De
cember, 1885, the safe of the Apache
county, Arizona, treasury was robbed of
$12,000. Diuuico Dacca, treasurer, aud his
brother Francisco had a number of arrests
made, but could convict no one. Testi
mony accumulated, and recontly sus
picion pointed towards Francisco Baooa,
as the culprit. He was arrested yester
day. His original story of being com
pelled to open the safe at the point of a
pistol by masked robbers was shown to be
a fabrication, and he was held in default
of $3,000 bail.
Attaching Their Property.
Niw Yobk, July 19. Adolph Ladenburg,
Ernest Thahlman and Abraham Limbar
ger obtained from the supreme court an
attachment against the property in this
state of KaufTman Runge, of Galveston.
Texas. Aotion is on a breach of oontract
to recover $1G,91C. On July 8 plaintiffs
purchased of defendants two bills of ex
change, one for 2,000 sterling, on Uthoff,
London, and the other for 26,000 rich
marks, drawn on a Bremen bank. These
bills were forwarded to plaintiffs' corre
spondents in Europe and presented for
payment, whioh was refused. The attach
ment issues because of the non-residenoe
of the defendants.
TUden's English Estate.
Naw Yobk, July 19. The following is
published here:
"The announcement by oable, that the
executors of the estate of tho late ex-Governor
Samuel J. Tilden probated his "will
In England in order to assume jurisdic
tion over his large English estate, was a
surprise to all but a very few of the dead
statesman's friends. It was not generally
known that he had any English estate.
The value of his English property, ao
ooiding to the Loudon Illustrated News,
is 180,000 (about $1,000,000.) A friend
of Mr. Tilden in this city says the most
of the investment is in consols bought at
low prices, and that they were worth from
$000,000 to $800,000.
Murder in Kansas.
Wichita, Kas., July 18. On Chisholm
creek, in the northern part of the city,
two colored men were seen fishing to
gether, and later one of them was seen to
leave the place alone. A short time after
two men found the body of the other man
in the creek, with three knife oats on the
head, and the skull crushed in over the
eye. The murdered man's name was Wra.
Parrish.

White and oolored laces are charming
accessories for evening wraps. For trav
eling cloths of light weight, pongees,
mohairs, surahs, serges, and flannels will
be preferred, while, for evening wear,
costlier materials, such as faille francaise,
satin rhadames, sicilienne, gros grain
silks, and handsomely embroidered or
decorated woolens in black and in colors
will be the choice.
One Great Merit
Of tlint Beaullller of the Teeth, SOZODONT, Is
that its effect upon the mouth is refreshing, while
asa means of cleansing the teeth, and improving
the breath, it stands alone.

worn, including the China crepe, India
silk and cashmere, plain and embroidered.
However, the Spanish lace scarf still con
tinues not only staple, but the favorite.

Hands Off, If You Please.
It is reported that a oolored man
named Black, who has been making anti
prohibition speeohep, was called upon
Monday by Rev. Mr. Blaokshear, a colored
prohibitionist, who has done a deal of
stumping himself, with the remark that if
he didn't quit making anti prohibition
speeches, he, Blackshenr, would see to it
that a position in the public schools
sought by him would be withheld. The
Statesman has not been able to verify
this report, but it is free to say anyhow
that the matter of any man's views on the
prohibition amendment will not be con
sidered by the board of trustees in mak
ing up the corps of teaohers, unless there
be offensive partisanism manifested, and,
if any of the report given be true, it will
occur to the most casual observer that in
this respeet Rev. Mr. Blaokshear had bet
ter look to his own skirts.

Game la Northern Africa.
If it will give an additional zest to Ml
"mountaineering" to carry a gun, ha may
una an abundance of game to exercise nil
skill. An old French officer, who came inla
our compartment, told me that a daring hun
ter may, or might not long ago, have bad t
chance or shooting a panther, or even now
and then of stirring up an African lion. 1
remembered that Numidian lions wen
brought to Rome for the combats in the Col
iseum. But I had supposed that they wer
all as dead as the gladiators whom they
lought. And yet a Hungarian gentleman,
who was a fellow traveler, told me that no
longer than fifteen years ago two of hil
cousins spent three months in these very
mountains, in company with the famous Julet
Gerard, hunting for lions. But ibis royal
game has nearly disappeared since the gov
ernment ofTered a reward for every lion that
was killed. But there are still panther!
which sometimes come about the villages,
and snap up the dogs. Nor need the most
adventurous huntsman despise this as infenoi
game, for, said my informant, "the panthers
grow to enormous size, some of those which
have been shot measuring almost as long at
tigers."
In default of lions or panther, on ordinary
Bportsman may have to content himself with
shooting monkeys or wild boars, both of
which still flourish in numbers sufficient to
satisfy all comers. "Do you see that moun
tain yonder I" said the officer, pointing to a
peak in the distance; "it is given up to the
monkeys; they may almost be said to be its
only inhabitants; the woods are full of them!"

The Salvationist's "Heart."
There is one interesting fact connected with
the women of the Salvation Army which it
not generally known. Nearly all of them
have a heart worked in India ink upon the
right shoulder, the meaning of which is thus
explained by one of the female members of
the army: In case any one of them is token
sick or dies away from home or in a foreign
country, the sign of the heart will entitle her
to care or suitable burial at the expense of
the entire organization, no matter whether
she is or is not a member in good standing ot
the Salvation Army at the time of sickness
or demise. Pioneer Press "Listener."

QKAIN AND PBOVISION MARKETS.
CHICAGO.
Chicago, July 19. There was not much doing
In the wheat market to-day, bidding during most
of the session dragsing slowly. There was little
news, if any, to influence the market, and the firm
ness which existed was attributed largely to buoy
ancy In corn. Kecelpts were smaller, but ship
ments have fallen off proportionately, ttoreby off
setting small arrivals. August opened Wdic
higher, a- 7o?4T(.707aC, advanced to 71fj71Hc, re
acted to 70V4c, and closed at 709470c.
Corn was active, excited and higher, with trading
of larcer volume than for soine days past. The
prevailing feeling was one or nrmness. un
favorable reports continued to be received relative
to growing crops, and rain Is needed in many sec
tions. The "shorts" bought freely, and consider
able long corn was sold. Local opera'ors, who
usually trade In wheat and provisions, were giving
corn their attention to-day. August started a t
msMXc, declined to SsJic, then advanced to
3U5,c and closed at 88c. Considerable corn was
purchased for country account.
Provisions were rather slow and easier, and had
It not been for the strength In corn a more severe
decline would have been the result. There was a
comparative absence of buying orders, but more
disposition on the part of Urge holders to sell, and
the iropre sion prevailed that the market was being
decline of ilc from yesterday. August lard opened
at 0.75, sold at (i.7Ut.75, and closed at 0.7-4, the
same as yesterday.
