San Francisco Mail.

Auckland, August 16 After, a month's struggle on the part of ihe members of the American Railway Union on all ihe lines using Pullman sleepers the sirikw was dec'ared off on j July 24 The movement involved all the 1 train handlers with the exception of the cwiriuctoru aud engine drivers, and numbered thousands of men. It w*s one of sympathy becausethePullman'ssleepinsr car patentee and multi-millionaire, had. it was claimed, dealt unfairly and penuriously with his employees. The Uiion determined to boycott him and members refused to handle arty tVAins in the make-up of whish hs sleeping c»M wero included. As a consequence there was no mail commuuic ition for a time on mirty of the western and southern routed The business of the country was paralysed. The principal storm CBntr.es of the strike were Chioaeo, Sacramento (Cal.), and Oakland. Most turbulent scenes took pUoe, and were only quieted by putting the disturbed districts under martial law. The local militia were callad out in the first place, but the soliers fraterrvised with the strikers, especially afc Sacramento and Oakland, and refused to charge a train of riotous men, or to fire upon them. it was different when the regular army troops, who had no sympathy in the matter came upon the scene of action. They quickly cleared the depots, and those who hesitated to go, thinking the regulars could be bluffed as the militia were, soon found their mistake as they were shot down without mercy. In California the damage resulting to busi ness will take a long I ime to recoup. Several rich Englishmen—Charles Fleisher, Henry L. Macd, Charles E. Denny, Edward T. Denny, »nd John Fal lon, stock holders—have brought a suit Against the Harney Peak, tin mining and manufacturing Company. A receiver was appointed by Judge L* combe of New York on June 27» The Englishman had become suspicious after investing 3,000,000 dollars, and sent agents to investigate. It is alleged they found that the American owners had only put up 280,000 dollars in cash for the purchase of all die pro perty and not mo c than 600,000 dollars had been expended, it is said, in working the mines and building mills, and com plainants want to know where their millions went. Tha property is considered nearly worthless and is located in the black hills region of Dakota.

A Coal Mine on Fire.

Westi'OßT, August 16. News was received this morning ofj an outbreak of fire in the Mokihinui Coal Company's mine. It appears that a quantity of small coal, fireclay and iron pyrites, stacked in one of the drives, technically known as one of the " bord," ignited spontaneously. The Mine mana ger wired for asbestos, which was sent ou by a special train. The train returned ftt 10 p.m. with the news that the fire had been considerably subdued, having been cut off at four points with logs and clay, the air being excluded, and it was not anticipated that there would be any serious result. The manual fire engine will be sent from Westport tomorrow morning by tram. ■

The following epistle was addressed to the proprietor of an Auckland saleyard recently, when trying to dispose of * pony :— * Please sell the pony to the highest bidder. As to his age, all I can say is that he is over 1 and under 90 years of age. He is fast in saddle and harness, and will teke a buggy across country if you like. He is game to the backbone. As a present to one's best girl, he would b3 dear at 10a, as he is fond of kicking ladies in the stomach, bat for this reason would j be cheap at£so as a present to a mother n-law. He will work and go day and and night.

THE LONDON BHEUMATIO CUKE. TBE ONLY CEBTAIN CUBE For Rheumatics, Gout, Sciatica, Lumbago, Spraios, Stift Joints, Bronobitis, Sore Throats, Chilblains, Brais-s and all Chest Complaints. I Cuet, September 8, 1890. Mr Walker. Sir,- I have great pleasure in testifying to the wonderful cure effected on my knee by using your London Rheumatic Cube. [ I bad suffered for three years, and fp jnt a good deal in doctors and medicines, bus got no teUef. I was obliged to walk with tbe help of a stick, and had given up all bopas of ever getting better. I was unable to bend my knee, suffering great pain, wbioh made me sometimes faint. I «ot one bottle of the LONDON RHEUMA'IIC CUBE, and the fir.t rubbing gave me such relief tt at I could leap for joy, and the day following I was able to walk without my stick and go about my work as usual. Ob, euoh a change ! I was suffering also with my wrists and haode, and was un<b!e losewor knit for a loDg time. I mboed them we.l with the Cure, »nl can ' now do my eewing, knitting, and house work aa f esh aa ever. It ia marvellous ! My neighbors sre astoni«hpd at me, and I «dvj»e 'h*m all to use the LONDON BEEUMATIC CUEE for all their complaints. You can use this as you please. Mas Andruw Gardner, Sefton, October 21, 1890 I her.by bear testimony to thp g e*t relief I sot by using the LONDON BHEUMATIC CUBE. I was suffering terrible pain ia my shoulders with rheumatism, preventing me frcm working and sleeping. I used one bottie, and am thankful to say the pain has gone. I helievo it is a remedy everyone should have in their possession. I naver had its equal. P. Bebrtm n. Springbank, Meeraki, March 5,1891. To Mr Walker. Sir,— I think it right to add my testimony *o the wonderful effects the LONDON RBEUMATIC CUBE. I have suffered with chilblains for years- I tried fiv^rv thirty. bn«- never got b* ter, I Iried the LONDON EHEUMATIO CUEE, and three itubbings completely cured n,e lam thank ful there is sn.h a remedy. I advise every, ons to always have it in their house. You I can mak) this pub'io if you wish. Fuedk. Mitchell, Divlfßton, January 8, '891. Your LONDON RHEUMATIC CUBE is marvellous. I had a very sore back, nnd was suSertrg with rheumatics, both of which have bea completely cured by its use. I b»va also cured my neighbors of their rheumatism, sprain f, chilblains and sore throats. It haa no tqual; everyone should use it. Mbr McCausland. Snringbank, Moeraki, March 5, 1891. Mr Walker Dear Sir,—l can testify to the wonderful cure I got by using the LON DON RHEUMATIC CUBE. I was suffering badly with rheumatics in my hands and wristd ; the back of my hand was badly dis colored. I rubbed them well with the Curo, and am thankful to tell you they are quite better, Thomas Cj^ancey. Ashburton, 0 'tober, 1893. Your LONDON RHEUMATIC CUBE is a remedy worthy to be praised. I took rheu matio fever and was a good while in tbe hands of the doctors; st last it seemed all to lodge in my ankle. I had to walk with a ciutoh and stick. Tha dootor at last advised me to go to Christchurch and get the foot taken off, which I obj acted to do. I got V3ry disheartened, as there peemed no oura for dip. I heard of the LONDON RHEUMATIC CUEE, and got one bottle, and before it was done I was able to lay aside my sucks and to rpfume business, and have bad no trouble since. It is a valuable remedy. I can highly recommend it, as I believe it ha« no equal. D. MACriIER3ON. L wer High Street, Christchureh, May 1893 I have bean a sufferer from Chilblains Bince a boy; my hands broke out every winter, and my feet ware so bad that on Saturday nights I had to fill my boots at the nrtesian sni stand in this till shutting time. I tried everything, but never got a cure, was advised this winter to try the LONDON RHEUMATIC CUEE, and to my astonish ment and delight it healed my wounded hands, relieved my suffering feet, and for the first winter I oan remember kept me free from suffering. I can recommend it with all con fidence to thoße suffering with Chilblains. J W Rice Sold by all Storekeepers Wholesale Agent for Colony R.
