ALFRED A. COOPER has sold hie farm to Mayor D. the consideration being 812,000. In exchange Mr. Coopejr takes Mayor Moffltt's residence at the corner of Union and Packard streets at a valuation of $3,600.

The farm coo- tains 181 acres and ia located two miles west of the city on the bluffs juet west of Stevens'Creek. It extends from the river north to the Wabash railroad and is considered a very fine piece of Betnrn of the Uilitary Company from the City of Danville. The Decatur Guards, Company Fifth Kegiment, I. N. arrived home this afternoon from Danville and Creek where they have been doing duty in thefhterest of law and order during the past two weeks.

Captain Colladay was in command of the company and marched the sunburnt soldiers from the depot direct to the armory where they disbanded and lit out for their several homes. Lieut. J.F. Cassell did not return with the company. He is now in Chi cago with the Fifth Regiment.

He holds the position of regimental adjutant and should have been there after the main, body of the Illinois troops were centered there; but Colonel Culver desired the Lieutenant to remain at Danville with Captain Colladay and he did so. The Guards had a hot time of it for awhile at Danville, and they will never forget their experience in their, successful efforts to contend with the mob which were largely made up of coal miners of foreign birth from the Grape Creek district. The rioters would constantly work in the dark, and commit deeds which endangered life and prop erty. One miner stood in the door of home and boldly defied the militia while he emptied his revolver at the soldierjs who were in a coach and had been ordered to the locality to suppress trouble. The soldiers returned the fire, and in the engagement James' daughter was killed.

The soldiers were in camp at Danville Junction, beyond the city of Danville nearly two miles, and they were subject to abuse and fights quite frequently soon after they got there, but after a few nights the rioters became less troublesome. One evening the rioters sent a lot of coal cars down a steep grade toward the soldiers' but it only resulted in- the partial destruction of the cars. Frequently the militia had to make vigorous charges with bayonets to disperse mobs at the depot, and in' each case the soldiers performed the duty courageously. Many a Danville citizen, some of them not rioters but caught in the crowd, will carry marks ot the bayonets and sword points to their graves. On the night of July 7th, the most exciting time at Danville, Captain Colladay and Lieutenant Cassell were in pretty close quarters for a few minutes.

They saw a rioter pick up a rock to throw at the militia, and the sheriff was warned that if the rock was thrown the soldiers would fire into the crowd instantly. Colladay and Cassell knew the man by sight and they went with the sheriff into the crowd to findjiiim. All got separated. Then there was quite a hustle on the part of the company officers to get back to the command without being assaulted. They got out of the crowd but it was a close shave.

TBACT 1W THuB FIGHT. Content in Op Bepublioan Banks for a Office. Since W. W. Tracy came out as a candidate for the Republican nomination for utate treasurer a couple of weeks ago, says the Chicago Trtbunr, his friends have been exceedingly active, and it is assorted will go into theconvontioo with a following.

Mr. Tracy is a young man, and the President of the Republican National League. He was recently re-elected for another year at the Denver convention. He resides at Springfield, and has been engaged in the banking Still Trying to Deceive Labor Some idea of the ignorance or the position to deceive their may be gained in the eot that (febs Soveraign ha vn given out the nor.fc that the President has agreed to commission under the act of 1888, to tirbi trate the difference between railroads and their employes.

He has ability as well as the standing as a financier to take hold of the Treasury of Illinois. The young men of the state are urging hie nomination, especially those who are members of the state league. His friends seem to be working in conjunction with Gen. Atkins, of Freeport, who is also a candidate, to break the strength of Henry Wulff. The friends of Wulff are confident of his nomination and have no fear of a split among his delegates.

The Tracy people won now. 1 cannot tell who thp will be, but this is certain, that Carroll D.Wright will be one of them. as the O'Neilf law that thp Commissioner of Labor shall ex- ofBck a member of commission ap pointed under its proviwonn.

There was an exciting episode on Mason street Friday evening, following the conviction of George Owens in the circuit court for stealing rags. The jury gave Owens a year in the penitentiary for the crime. The mother of the young man was in the ante-room when she heard the verdict of the jury. She fainted, and was in pretty bad shape, when the court bailiffs with her son reached her side. A carriage was hastily procured and Mrs.

Owens was KRHiti UtUUI ntiu vt i President and Congrons for such artior in thn as imi In- proper. The comniumtm will hair no power to arbitrate the be twoon Pullman and his former employ. or between any of thp parties to the subsequent general boycotting of thn railroads. The commission is to mves tigutr and not to arbitrate, and there is a very wide distinction betwi-n ir tigation ami arbitration Thp sion most important duty to perform, and the greatest care i to be exercised hi the srlwtiou members.

Those spots measure all the way from one second diameter to sixty seconds.

One second at the distance of the sun from the earth is 450 miles, so that the largest spot now in sight will equal 27,000 miles. These spots now show cyclonic action, and taken in connection with a like number of spots on the surface of the sun turned from us, would indicate almost unprecedented activities in old Sol.

Holmes came back up while for momenta Bailiff Taylor had hia back turned to talk to Dr. King, Owens arose quickly and ran out of the house, jumping a fence and making a desperate atempt to escape; but Taylor happened to see him start and he lit out after him, catching him before he could jump the second fence.

Taylor didn't have hia gun with him, and he realized that it was to be a hot chase if he caught his man. He did it, and when he came up to Owens he took him by the Their Seventh Anniversary. The seventh wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. W.
