L Some of Old England's Home Troubles, ENGINEERING STRIKE GROWING. The Crop Failures in Ireland The Triumphal Visit of the Duke and Duchess of York. By Cable to The Telegram. London, Sept. 4. The bad weather and cyclonic disturbances that has prevailed for some weeks now shows no signs of abating. The rainfallfor August is .largely in excess of the av erage and one of the heaviest for years. The Duke and Duchess of York con tinue their triumphal visit to Ireland. Everywhere they are received with ev idences of enthusiastic loyalty by the inhabitants. The potato, hay and corn crops in most districts of Ireland are almost a total failure and there is the gloom iest outlook for the winter. The price of bread is rising daily, and the pros pects are that needs of a large part of the people will have to be met by out side contributions, or the horrible suffering of the Irish famine of some years ago will be repeated. The hop crop is also reported to be far below the average. The strike of the engineering trades has grown much more serious during this week. At first the strike was con fined to engineers directly, but now it is extending to the various trades con nected with engineering, and grave results may follow soom Six thou sand men engaged in the industries of moulding, boiler-making and finish ing are out. Troops to Check the Redskins. By Wire to The Tei.bgram. Washington, D. C, Sept. 4. Sec retary Bliss has requested -Secretary Gage to furnish four troops of cavalry at Zuni, New Mexico, on the fifteenth instant, for the protection of the terri torial authorities in arresting and prosecuting several Zuni Indians. The charge against them is torturing an aged Zuni woman. Robin Hoods of the Rail. By Wire to Thk Tei,egram. Denver, Col., Sept. 4. A band of armed men held up the Gulf passenger train at Twin Mountain last night, in timidated the passengers and blew oien the safe from which they secured ten thousand dollars. A posse started at two o'clock this morning in pursuit. The railroad commissioner has offered a reward of five hundred dollars for their capture. Crashed Into a Passenger Train. New York, Sept. 3. A heavily load ed coal train, on the Long Island rail road, at Floral Park, crashed into a passenger train today. Six passengers were severely injured and both loco motives badly wrecked. The company's officers are investigation the collision. A NEW NAME FOR A STAR. Or the Advantages of a Vivid Imagin ationComedy that Acted Itself. He was no hair brained fellow, but a bright, shrewd business man; he had seen the airship though, and wanted The Telegram man to see it. He led us, "like a lamb to the slaughter," down two blocks , while images of a monster, shaped like a big "cigar of de Havana," as Svengali would say, with an eye that would make a white search light blush a rosy red for shame, all this with visions of quad ruple headlines swam before our fev ered vision. We came to a halt and our conduc tor pointed a quivering index at the bright red star under the Great Bear, that was doing its poor best to obey the command of the poet and "twin kle, twinkle." We turned a look upon our captor that was expected to freeze the grin on his face, but there was no grin there; he WES in solemn earnest and declared that, like the sun, it "do move." We moved also and on every street corner we found. a group staring with all the intensity of the "bald-headed row." One colored brother remarked as we passed that "it done move fo' feet dis minit." A crowd of a dozen or so were trying to get a line on it over, The Telegram office, but they said The Telegram moved so fast that the airship stood stock still ,nd they hunted up a man's house who doesn't advertise; then the thing moved so fast that it left a streak like a comet's tail. We shall probably be 1 called upon to chronicle soon that Schlatter, the healer the cane, and ring' man and the fellow with a "dead sure thing: have come to abide with us permanently . - " IT IS RAINING 0 0 Gratuitous Reports. It has reached our ears, from various sources, that en emies of The Telegram the report that The Telegram is an experiment, that it would shortly suspend publication, that our subscribers were for a month only and many of them were falling off. xWe have ignored these reports forj a, time, but feeling that some assurance is due our patrons, we have only to say that the patronage received has exceeded our expectations ; that the number of subscribers we have lost is-far on the safe side of a dozen, but on the contrary new subscribers aie coming in daily ; that our subscription books are always open to our patrons and an affidavit may always be had as to their 'accuracy. The Telegram is not an experiment, but a reality; we are at least so encouraged that we are preparing to in crease our equipment at an additional cost of a thousand dollars. I The Telegram is a permanent institution. HE LlED LIKE A DOG. 1 Says Irby of Tillman Claims he Was Knifed In Senatorial Race. By Wire to The Telegram. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 4. Ex-Senator Irby, who is in this city, in speak ing of Senator Tillman today, said: "He is a dead duck politically; I made that man; I have been behind him in; many undertakings, but he has now received fair warning that if we meet again there will be trouble. It was he who said he would 'hands off' in the race and gave a promise that he would pot interfere, but he has been knifing me secretly from the jump. His hand has been in several plays that have operated against me. "In his telegram to me he 'lied like a dog. 'I I give him due notice of what he is to expect from me " COURT ADJOURNS.

The dark shadow of death has fallen in another home, and other hearts are today bowed under a great grief. Miss Mollie Truitt, who has been ex tremely ill for some time, was released from her sufferings by the summons of death at 4 o'clock this morning. Miss Truitt succumbed to an attack of typhoid fever about three weeks ago, and though all efforts of medical skill and loving hands were brought into play, their powers were too feeble to stay the hand of death. The deceased was an exemplary Chris tian and a devout member of the Chris tian church. The remains will be in terred at Hines' chapel, eight miles northeast of town, tomorrow at 12 o'clock. The funeral will be conduct ed by Rer. Jeremiah W. Holt, of Bur lington. I A devoted father and mother, three loving sisters and two fond brothers are left to mourn their loss.
