General agent Jones, of the Louisville, Nashville and Great Northern Railroad, sent a letter informing the committee that he would transport supplies free of charge from Louisville to Memphis on his road.

The United States were represen-ted by General Howard, Wheaton and others. There was a full representation of the Indians.

London, August 29.—A special to the Daily Telegraph from Vieuua says all that is known here about General Szapary is that his posi-tion is critical, aud the disaster to him would threaten Phillipovicli also. The reinforce-ments go forward slowly. One division has been sent to General Szapary without waiting the arrival of reserves. Andrassy's Project Accepted.

Cincinnati, August 29.—A special states that Mary Dean, a widow living near Hills-boro, Mo., murdered her two children by cut-ting their throats on Tuesday last. Upon be-ing arrested and brought to Hillsboro she said she was too poor to suppoit them. She mur-dered the baby first, and when she undertook to put the little five year old by ou the bed to kill him he clung to her aud begged piteously saying—“Oh, mama, don’t kill me; don't kill me!’* Without heeding his cries she threw him on the bed, and after cutting his throat she struch him on the side of the head with a piece of iron which completed the work. She presents a woe begone appearance and is possessed of little or no intelligence. She is supposed to be insane. The Alleged. Interview. New Yokk, August 29.—A special to the Herald from Cincinnati says Arch Bishop Purcell was called upon yesterday and the al-leged interview between him and, K» arney shown to him. After reading it carefully he laughed and uttered these words: “Ridlcn-lous stuff. ’' Kearney came here and with him was his secretary. I received them as I receive every one who wants to see me on business. Kear-ne.^’ s first words to me were: “I'm Denis Kearney, and I heard you was going to eat me." I looked at him a moment and replied: I do not thhik any body would want to eat you very much. Then he spoke to me about the Catholic Telegraph having stated that he was an Orangeman. Of course I was willing; if any wrong had been done him by that journal, to have it correct, but I was not the person to be accountable lor it. In answer to the vuestion as to what was the Arch Bishop's impression of Kearney, he re-plied: “I think him a foul mouthed blackguard, and less notice Is taken of him tlie better off society will be. He is a fermenter of mischief and can do the cause he professes to represent no good. Bankruptcy. Chicago, August 29.—Eugene B.

Texas Express Company forward to Major J. B. Jones $1000, Sam Bass reward. Uneven Wool. A writer, who is an authority on wool, says that, as a matter of fact, there is nothing which renders wool so useless for certain kinds of manu-facture as unevenness or break in the continuity of the thickness of fibre, and there is no defect more common and nothing that, year by year, touches the sheep-grower more se-verely on that tender part of his anatomy—the pocket. HoweWr good the wool is in all other respects, the keen eye of the buyer singles out the defective wool, and down goes the price of it. And it is not mere fancy that regulates the prices, for tlie une-ven wool will break at the weak pla-ces during the first process of manu-facture. Some persons suppose that this unevenness of fleece is heredita-ry in certain animals, and perhaps unevenness might be made hereditary by generations of ill-usage and neg-lect. But as the wool of an entire flock is found to he uneven one year and not so another, it shows that the management has more to do with it than descent. If sheep are allowed lo get into bad condition, are neglec-ted, under-fed, or not sheltered pro-perly, the pores will contrat and the wool that issues will be of very fine fibre. As soon as the animal recov-ers a vigorous condition the pores again open, and a longer and stronger fibre grows. The nmol is thus weak-er in one place than in places at each side of it, and breaks at the weak places on the slightest strain. Noth-ing induces unevenness more easily and surely than than -want of water. —Portland Oregonian. QUARANTINE TROUBLES. Spring Station will not be a Hospi-tal for Houston. Shot Guns and Cowkides. It ivill be remembered that tlie Telegram, a few days ago, spoke of the quarantine officer on the Interna-tional and great Northern road be-ing forced by the citizens of Spring Station to take again on the train a blockade runner that he had put oil' there the previous day. He only’ brought him three or four miles be-low when he again ousted the un-fortunate. The man went black to the station a second .time, and was detected and held there by’ the citi-zens. Monday evening, as the train went up, a telegram came to the con-ductor telling him to have the health officer secreted in tlie train when it reached Spring, as he might have some trouble there. This was car-ried out as well as possible, but it failed to accomplish its purpose. The cars pulled up to the station and were hardly still before men Were rushing through it searching for the quarantine officer. In the midst of t his proceeding the conductor signal-ed the engineer to go ahead, but a fellow with a six-shooter had stepped into cab and told him not to touch that throttle until they found the man sought. They were then told that the officer that put tlie man off before was not on board, but they wanted to see the officer who was on board. The circumstances were trying, but Corporal J. II- P. Dolan bad to step out of the baggage car on the plat-form amid a profussion of shotguns and cowhides. Seeing that this -was not the man they’ wanted, there was disappointment perceptible on every countenance, hut they did not lay violent hands on tlie innocent for the guilty, hut gave him fair warning that this must he the last time any officers put off a man from any in-fected point thero. Twenty men with blunderbusses and quirts went very’ far to show that business was meant, and that there had better be other arrangements made. The Health Officer at Willis also informed tlie quarantine officer that he could under no circumstances put oft' anybody there in the future. Superintendent Iloxie, of tlie In-ternational and. Great Northern Road, has telegraphed a pass to Dr. Rutherford on which to carry this man as far hack as Texarkana, which will relieve the present case, but there will have to be a new deal for the future.—Houston Telegram. THE SUN. Facts, Everybody Should Know. The sun is 320,000 times as large as this earth. A lady who weighs 100 pounds here would weigh 2,700 pounds if on the surface of the sun. The heat given off by the sun would melt 287,200,00 cubic milesuftf ice every second. Tlie diameter of the earth bears the same relation to its distance from tlie sun as tlie breadth of a hair to 125 feet. A railroad traveling without stops at the rate of forty miles an hour would get to tlie sun in 263 years. The sun is believed to become some 250 feet smaller every year.. This contraction would be suffi-cient to generate the enormous quan-tity of heat which it radiates. Another theory is that comets and meteoric matter falling into the sun may be its aliment to offset the tre-mendous loss which combustion cer-tainly involves. It would require the combustion of coal over the entire surface of tlie sun every second to generate the same amount of heat. The stars are supposed to average larger than one sun and to have plan-etary systems like his. The nearest star is 250,000 times as far off as our sun. It takes light eight minutes to come from the sun, but it must have re-quired 50,000 years to come from the farthest visible star. When the eleven-y’ear storms on the sun occur, the magnetic needle on the earth is variable and some-times considerably’ deflected, Tlie earth is flying around the sun at the rate of 1,000 miles a minute. The sun and all the stars are mov-ing through space, accompanied by, their planetary systems, at a ri varying from 20 to 200 miles second. _ __ Some of the sun-spots (era!ers) are 100,000 miles in diameter, and one of them would easily swallow up the whole of the planets, Jupiter himself only making a mouthful. Maedler’s curious and brilliant speculation is that the star Alcyone is the central sun of our universe, and ) die visible stars are swinging around it in orbits measured by millions of years. Lost, Stolen or inadvertently taken away from the Examiner office, one large brass roller mould, about 6 feet long, and four inches in diameter, and one small brass roller mould, about six-teen inches in length and two and a half inches in diameter. A liberal reward will he paid for either or both of them, or for information leading to their recovery, at the Ex-aminer office, corner’ Third and Franklin streets, tf.
