THE CONVICTS ORDERED OUTOF
THE MINES AND GO.
Knoxvii.i.k, Tcnn.July 21. The labor
trouble nt Iriccville cutminatcd yester
day in the withdrawal of the convicts
from the mines of the Tennessee coal
company nnd of those in the Knoxvillc
iron company's mines.
The mines at Itricevillc arc ill a pocket
formed by three mountains. On all sides
the site is commanded by wooded hill
sides, from which sharp-shooters could
pick off the militia one by one. The total
number of effective militia was 88, and
opposed to them was a fighting contin
gent of from 1 .fiOO to 2,0(10 miners.
An armed and thoroughly organized
body of miners, numbering not less than
1,000 men, assembled nt Coal Creek and
in company form marched to lirice
ville, five miles. Itcforc the march liegan
every man was searched, and those hav
ing whiskey were excluded. When Hrice
ville was reached the militia were sur
rounded on all sides by the miners, who
marched within 200 yards of the militia
lines and a committee of three demanded
a surrender. Seeing the utter folly of
resistance. Col. Sevier, in command,
agreed to withdraw the militia and con
victs and bring them to Knoxvillc. When
Sevier's command had lieen placed on
board the train and it had pulled out,
lllc miners in tne siime eiriierly manner
marched to the mines of the Knoxvillc
iron company. The guards, being so
Kieatly outntiinlicrcd, marched out with

TREMENDOUS DOWNPOUR.
A PHIvNOMKNAI. PRECIPITA
TION OF WATER.
Willi Scarcely a Cloud, the Vapors
are Huddeiily Condenced Into
Water and Dropped I'pou the
Cltv Only Sllulil noinnite Done.
The rain, if it can be called a rain, of
yesterday afternoon, was something not
soon to be forgotten, for some of its fea
tures were too remarkable to escape ob
servation. It was not a cloud burst, for
there were no clouds to burst. A few
fleecy, watery masses of vapor lay in the
sky here and there, but they were too
thin to indicate volume ordanger. They
floated idly along before a gentle south
cast breeze, and looked as innocent as
the fog which obscured the sky early in
the morning. Suddenly, at about half
past five o'clock, the whole upicr strat
um of air seemed to have lieen condensed
into water, as if the proportions of the
hydrogen and nitrogen had been instan
taneously changed, and what had been
air became water, and fell in overwhelm
ing volume. There was little wind, there
was little electrical discharge; there may
be said to have been scarcely any cloud.
The upper sky seemed at once to have
changed its functions and liecnme an over
hanging sea, unable to hold its contents.
The downpour continued for quite an
hour to the confusion and susension of
nil out door operations.
At town branch the water filled the
roadway to the upper edges of the flat;
the drivers of half n dozen teams made
ineffectual efforts to get their vehicles
across, but the seething waters forbade
the passage and the occupants of the
carnages were compelled to wait until
the storm had passed.
The denizens of the upper end of the
Cripple Creek section beheld with dis
may the ncarapproach ot the eltccts ot
the phenomenal precipitation and ns the
angry water like masses of twisting,
writhing, hissing serpents curled to
their doorways, they fled in terror to
the ranches lower down the bottom;
the relief was but temporary, compara
tively few minutes elapsed before the un
washed were stnmiieded, nnd their prog
ress was continued to the high grounds
with evident signs ot terror nnd distress.
1 he yards oi the Carolina wood work
ing company were devastated. Wood
was Idled by the torrent nnd carried
down the stream in huge piles. A team
ster surrounded by the water was com
iiellcd to swim his mules, and only sue
cccdcd in gaining n place of safety after
moments ol ceaseless activity. 1 be loss
was lortunntely small, not exceeding .l.i
or $.'0.
A car-load of passengers, a weakened
bridge, and the surging deluge at a point
on the track just below the company's
ihon, combined all the elements tor a
lively swimming partv. The perilous
passage was safely made, however. 1 he
washout in the road lied made it unsafe
for succeeding cars to pass over the line
and passengers were transferred to the
station with the slight inconvenience of

mass of surging, roaring water appeared
to be twenty feet deep at this latter
point.

forded welcome resting places. The serv
ants quarters were flooded four and a half
Icet and the yard was a mass ot noating
debris. Measurements made on the trees
in the rear ol the house showed the depth
of the water to have been eleven tcct.

of the city, considerable damages was
done. The dam to the lake, though no
washed away, was greatly injured, nnd
the new streets nnd avenues considerably
washed. The damage there will proba
