EEBELS KOUTED AFTER A HOT FIGHT TUT CABLE TO THE DISrATCII. Loxdok, Jan. 9. Copyright. The rrophecy in The Dispatch last -week has been promptly fulfilled by the discovery of a "dynamite plot" in England and the ar rest of so-called dynamiters in London. The three prisoners have been remanded, as it -will take considerable time for the police to complete their investigations, so we are told. Until then there is no need to say more here th3n that the police story lacks symmetry, and that it requires no strain upon the imagination to trace the rascally but masterful hand of Bed Jim 3IcDerinot in the plot. At the moment of cabling this TnE Dis patch reporter learns that the man Deakin who was arrested in London has greatly disappointed the Scotland Yard people. The mysterious fluid which lie carried in a small bottle within a cigar box proves to be chloroform, as Deakin declared it was. The Police Have a "ew Theory Reiuly. This necessitated a new theory, and has been promptlv furnished to fit the case. The police allege that the anarchists have lately been discussing at their meetings the doctrine or "individual expropriation," which is said to mean justifiable stealing, Ergo Deakin meant to stupefy someone with chloroform and then rob him. The theory, although comforting to the police, will not bear magisterial investigation, and it has been decided to take Deakin to "Walsall and chartre him with complicity in the dyna mite plot there. The bomb said to have been found in the house of one of the prisoners is of the size and shape of a large pear, comfortably port able, and, according to official experts, powertul enough, if filled with dynamite, to kill a dozen people. I 1'rom another source of news it has leaked out that the police investigations have de veloped the fact tint the prisoners, Cailes, Slaughter and Deakin, with others who are not yet in custody, were hatching a plot re sembling in its details the plot of the an archists in Chicago which led to the Hay lcarket massacre in 16S6. Sensational Developments Promised. It is asserted that some of the documents seized by the police are of an extremely startling nature. Furtherarrestsare pretty certain to lollow the knowledge obtained by the police, and sensational developments sire promised when the authorities make public all the details o the conspiracy. The plotters had evidently little "fear of the police, or else they thought the nearer they were to them the afcr from discovery thev would be, for their club room was within a stone's throw of the police station. The inlows, which present an extremelv unkempt apparnnre. bear in blue letters the words, "The Walsall Socialist Club." Among the spoils that have tallen into the hands of the police is a heap of pamph lets and tiapers found in the club rooms. These contain articles couched in violent language against rich men, monopolists and i society in generak Among the papers found were copies of the Chicago Anarchut, bsjdes a large number of cartoons pub lished in American and continental Anarch ist papers. The police regard Slaughter as the most dangerous member of the gang. He was born in Norwich, but has lled tor years in the United States. He is a self-educated man. "-peaKs several lauguages fluently and is rabid in his sunpori of socialistic doc trines. I Slaughter's Career in England. Slaughter came to "Walsall six months ago and immediately became a member of the cluk He soon developed into a leader and since then has a irtually been the prime jnoxer in all the schemes concocted by the anarchists in that town. , Notwithstanding their reticence regarding the details ol the conspiracy they have un earthed, the rnlice display "no tiesitancv in jjiving a hisiorv of Slaughter. Thev daim to haie knowledce that he was prominent among the socialists of Chi cago at thetimcoi theHaymarket massacre, and claim that he has been connected with almost eterybig Anarchist movement in recent jears. Slaughter talks with an American accent. He is tall and slim, and wears a sandy mustache. Since last July he has been employed in a roundrv. "When the police searched Slaughter's lodgings they louiid an immense assortment of literature, in which the most violent form oflmguatre was used to call Anarchists lo revenge themselves upon society for the wrongs which they claim to suffer. (Among the papers was a circular which reads: A ISIood and Thunder Manifesto. Flint or starve!

ANARCHISTS IN SPAIN Give Hot ISattlc to Soldiers in a Garrisoned Town They Attack ths Poller, Who HoW Their Ground Till the Troops,Takc u Hand. Madrid, Jan. 9. Last night a band of Anarchists lrom the country surrounding Xeras made an attack on that place, intend ing to pillage the town. The gendarmes had got wind of the affair, and when the Anarchists reached Xeras they were sur prised to find a strong iorce waiting for them. The Anarchists, armed with fowling pieces, made a desperate attack on the guardians of the town, and a stubborn fight , resulted. The gendarme held their ground ' and finally charged upon and repulsed the nemv. The latter returned and the firing yai lumjiiuuu uuiu wui una ujurmng. The military authorities to-day took a hand in the aflair. They dispatched a force of caialrv in pursuit of the Anarchists, who in some way became cognizant of the intention of the military to attack them, and who thereupon fled precipitately. The cavalry pursued them in every direction, and succeeded in capturing a majority of BOMB AID DUG -&. N them. The prisoners will not be given the benefit of a civil law trial. ThcV will be arraigned before a court martiaj, and their punishment will follow swift upon convic tion. The attack made by the Anarchists was commenced just as the" people were leaving the theaters, and was directed principally toward that quarter of the city in which the prison is situated. The intention of the Anarchists was to remove the prisoners. The troops stationed at the prison made a sortie, however, and repulsed the rioters, while the gendarmes were routing a number ot scattered bands which were creating disturbances in other parts of the cify. After a stubborn resis tance by the Anarchists three of their num ber were killed and 20 more or less se riously wounded. An innocent spectator was killed during the fight by an Anarchist armed with a scythe. The audacity of the Anarchists, in attack ing a city whe're a battalion of infantry and a regiment of cavalry are quartered, is re garded as alarming and inexplicable. De tachments of cavalry arc in hot pursuit of the fugitives, .who" are divided into two bands one fleeing in the direction of Lebrijo and the other toward Arcos. SLATGHTEB IN CHICAGO. A Friend of ridden and Schwab, bnt Too Cowardly to Aid Them. Chicago, Jan. 9. Slaughter, the anar chist under arrest in England, is remem bered here as having gone around the city before the Haymarket massacre and given several inflamed lectures oa "Socialism." Police Inspector Schak recollects him quite distinctly, and says he left this city with a good many of those in the secret cir cle of anarchistic groups in Chicago imme diately after the Haymarket riot. 'If I remember correctly," said the In spector to-night, "this fellow was a warm friend of Schwab and Fielden, but he did not remain in Ch'cago to aid them in their hour of trouble." Italy's Finjjer In the Pie. Rome, Jan. 9. Several newspapers in this city state that Italy will s-nda war ship to Tangier to protect her interests there. SATISFACTORY GUN TESTS. The Miantonomoh Stands All tho Experi ments In an Kxcellent planner. Gkeenpokt, L. L, Jan. 9. The Mian tonoinoh left her anchorage in Gardiner's Bay soon after S o'clock this morning, and, after passing Gardiner's Point, fired with the reduced charge of 155 pounds of powder and the full 500-pound weight of shot from each of the guns in the after turret. The proper arrangement of the water valves for checking the recoil at the desired point hav ing been satisfactorily determined bv the use of the reduced porder charges, two shots with the standard weight ball service weight of powder, 255 pounds, were fired from the after turret and three from the for ward turret. One shot fired at 3 o'clock, with a moder ate elevation, skipped over the water and finally seemed to strike the land fur to the southward. During the firing of the service charges, observers were stationed at differ ent parts of the shin, below decks and on the superstructure, "o note the effect of the concussion. Evervthing was found to work satisfactorilv at all points after the heavy explosion, and the firing has been attended, with no unpleasant results to the ship, offi cers or crew. A few more shots will be fired during the wcek and the monitor will then return to the navr vard. THE MEANEST OF AIL MISEES. He Tries to Ilnrn Up His TVcallli to Pre vent Ills Wite Prom Gettins It. Nashville, Jan. 9. Some months ago a miserly old fellow named Hilton living near Franklin, Ky., found himself at death's door. He had quarreled with his wife and desired to keep her from enjpying his estate. He made a servant bring him a nail keg, which he placed on the fire. About this time n maiden sister of Hilton's came in and rescued the keg. Sb opened it and found therein 570,090 in b .nds. She took these home with her for safekeepinz. Old Hilton died, and when an adminis trator was appointed his sister surrendered the bonds, but was surprisedto find that all but 517,000 had been stolen. Some weeks ago the City Marshal of Franklin, Ky., named Stanford, came to .Nashville and cashed some of the conpons from the miss ing bonds, and was arrested on a charge of bringing stolen property into the State. Last Wednesday unknown parties surren dered to Hilton's administrator ?22,009 in bonds, and the charges against .Stanford will not be prosecuted. AH TJHBEGENEBATE BEDSKHf. A TJnatilla Indian It-fnses Positively to Dress Like a Whit; SI an. Washington-, D. C, Jan. 9. A dele gation of three TJnatilla Indians from Ore gon had a conference to-day with Commis sioner Morgan. The lands of (his tribe are now being allotted in severalty, and the special object of this visit is to urge the Commissioner to set aside timber and pasture lands in their old reservation suffic ient for their common needs. This request could not be entertained by the commis sioner, inasmuch as he has no jurisdiction of the matter, Congress alone having the power to grant the request. One of the three Indians who, unlike his companions, was dressed in Indian costume, objected to taking lands in severalty, for the reason that he pieferred to be an Indian rather than a citizen. He wished to con tinue to wear his Indian dress and dance the Indian dances. Life without these would not possess any attractions for him.

A FAB-BEACHING STRIKE. Messengers Quit and Tie TJp the TJxpress Business of a Trunk Line. Nashville, Jan. 9. Some time ago "the express messengers on the Illinois Central liailroad struck, and to-day the 50 messen gers on the Louisville and Nashville Bail road from Louisi ille to New Orleans went out on strike. This will block the whole express busi ness as far north as Pittsburg and south to New Orleans. Three of the Louisville and Nashville men were carried over to the Illinois Central, and refusing to make the run, were discharged. There will be no night express trains on the road. NOT AUTHORIZED TO TALK. An Immigrant Inspector Called Down by a Chief ot Ills Department. "Washington; D. G, Jan. 9. United States Immigrant Inspector Charles J. Goff, stationed at Montreal, being interviewed by a Montreal newspaper, is represented io the i published report as using some very radical and sweeping expressions on the immigra tion system, among other things characteriz ing all immigrants from certain countries in most uncomplimentary terms, and serving notice on Canada that unless her Government should consent to a joint inspection of immigrants at Canadian portsthe Treasury Department would stop all railroad trains en route, and inspect all immigrants at the border. Assistant 'Secretary Ncttjeton, of the Treasury Department, having had his at tention called to this matter, expressed the hope that Mr. Goff had been either misun derstood or misreported, as he has no au thority or occasion to express any views of the sort referred to, or to speak for the United States Government in regard to any future policy affecting immigration. A BIG FIGHT ON BUTTER. PRODUCERS OF THfc MATERIAL ORG 1NIZE AGAINST OI.EO. TO Conjrress Will Be Asked to Act Granges and Alliances in the Movement .Whole sale Prosecutions Promised More Im portant Than Gold and Silver. , Pnn.ADrJl.PHlA, Jan. 9. The Dairy men's Association has announced ito inten tion to make the fight against oleomargarine a national one. Heretofore the great strength of the association has been in this State and city, and here most of the moves against illegal butter -men have emanated. Included in the movement will be most of the State Granges and branches of the Farmers' Alliance throughout the Union. Last year the dairymen expended over 59,000 in their prosecutions, but it is esti mated that from this larger body from J25.000 to 550,000 will be subscribed to keep up the sinews of war. The strength of the newly-orgaDized body is to be first used for the purpose of securing national legislation. Senator Hiscock has charge of a bill giving to the Slates the power to legislate against the sale of oleo in original packages. The verbiage of the measure is identical with the Wilson liquor bill passed by the last Congress, except that the word "oleomar garine" is substituted for the words "intox icating liqnors." This bill was framed by the legal advisers of the dairymen, and by them it will be pushed. As the first step in the battle, petitions have been sent, within a few days, all over the country, through the agencies of the newlv organized association. These are now ponring into the office of Attorney Lu fher S. Kauffman. filled with signers. So ast are they coming in that the services of a nnmber of clerks is nccessarv to handle them. They are being arranged in Congres sional districts for presentation. Early next week Attornev Kauffman and President C. F. Darlington will go to Washington and endeavor to secure votes for the bill. The petitions will be presented as soon as they can be arranged. It is estimated that there will be over 50,000 signers, representing almost every Congressional district in the Union. "The strength of this bodv can be esti mated" when I tell you that the annual out nnt of the American cow exceeds the com bined output of gold and silver in this country," said. Mr. Kauffman yesterday. "By actual fig'nres the butter, "milk and cheese products for last year represented in round numbers 250.000,000, while the com bined output of gold and silver equaled about ?206,000,000. The dairy products of the country would be dealt a death blow if the manufacture of oleo is allowed to flourish, so there is ample reason to believe that the country 'vill act in a mass. As soon as possible we. will begin a scries of wholesale prosecutions in the other large cities where the business has gained a foot hold similar to thosp we have been mak ing here. With all this activity I think that oleomargarine will soon be unknown." MIHNEAPOLIS GETTING BEADY. Fixing Up Her B-st Parlor for Her Repub lican Visitors in Jane. Chicago, Jan. 9. The sub-committee appointed to arrange the preliminaries for the Republican National Convention, met in conference with representatives of the Minneapolis Local Committee to-day. Archi tects submitted their plans for remodeling the Exposition building for the convention's purpose. The changes will cost ?20,000, paid by the city of Minneapolis. It was estimated that the hall would comfortably seat 10,000 people, 3,000 of whom would be delegates. It will be ueveral days before the exact plan is decided upon. The details of the ticket system were dis cussed, and the announcement was made that the regulations retarding admission tickets will be more strict than hitherto. As requested by the National Committee, it was decided that railroad tickets should be made good for the entire month of June. BEITEB THAN A DOSE OF KOCH. A Rural Ifew Yorker Cured of Consump tion by rn Ofllce. Bath,K. Y., Jan. 9. Samuel Carnochan, of Avoca, near Ttath, was attacked with what appeared to be consumption two years ago.

A Comely Wife Who Has Presented Her Trusting Hnbby I WITH 14 CHILDREN IN 8 TEARS. She Comes Prom a Family Long Ji'oted for Such Accomplishments. HER RECORD OP TRIPLETS AND TWIN'S (SrECIAI. TEtrOnAM TO TUB mSFATriM Cold Springs, N. Y., Jan. 9. At the depot to-day Mr. and Mrs. Ellsworth Miller entrusted to a nurse a little bit of a baby boy to be taken to relatives in New York City, who will care for him. Mr. Miller inci dentally remarked that the boy was one of triplets presented to him December 1 by his fair and blooming spouse. He also confessed, after much stammering and con fusion, that the triplets made 11 children born to him in eight years. It m3y be said at the outset that the ex traordinary fecundity of Mrs. Miller is no new thing in the family from which she is derived. Her maiden name was Avery. As far back as the beginning of the cen tury the Averys were the pride and joy of the simple neighborhoods in which they lived, for in those days large families were regarded as a direct dispensation of Provi dence, while the getting of them was held to be obedience to the command to Adam, afterward re-enjoined upon Noah. One Hnband Got Two Qnlntets. Mrs. Ellsworth Miller's grandmother's sister was the most representative of her race now distinctly remembered. When that good lady married along in the forties she made glad the heart of her husband with a quintet of boys and girls, three of whom lived to rear families of their own. A vear after this splendid achievement the lady gave birth to bve roore.but both the mother "and the five children died immediately. Her hushnnd consoled himself a vear or so after her death by marrving her sister, who presented him with three sets of twins in rapid succession. Mrs. Ellsworth Miller's mother pre sented her husband with twins, besides numerous other children who came in single file, after the commonplace fashion. When Mrs. Miller that was to ,be waS a young girl living not far from New York city, she went with a friend to a Gypsy fortune teller, so the family tells the story. This was nine years ago last summer. "You will marry within a short time," said the Gypsy. "You will meet your future hus band to-day. You will have three sets" of twins and" three sets of triplets, beside other children. Your progeny will be as numerous as the sands of the sea." A Prophecy Speedi'y Fulfilled. The future Tills. Ellsworth Miller laughed merrilv at this. She put no faith in it. And when young Ellsworth Miller offered to carry lier hurdles lrom the train that evenihg she had no idea that that that part of the old woman's prophecy was fulfilling. Something over a year from that time she was married to the tall, good looking voung mechanic She was then 22 years old, it being the fall of 18S3, and was a conielv woman ot medium height and slight build. in the following August her first child was born a pretty, dark-haired daughter whom she named Viola. Her husband was glad to see Viola, but wished it had been a boy. Mrs. Miller was not slow in repairing her error, for 14 months after Viola's birth, in .October, 1885, she presented her hnsband with twin boys. Mrs. Miller has always had a horror for common names such as John, William, Henry, and the like. So she named one of the twins Wellington Melbourne and the other Arlington Fair field. They lived but five months. Tqnally Prolific in ?fimes. But the vacancy in the family was not for long. Twelve months after their birth, in October, 1886, Mrs. Miller had twins again, this time a boy and a girl. The boy she named Waldo Esmond and the girl Florizel Elecuror. AValdo Esmond lived but'a few months, but Florizel Eiecuror is still alive, and. although she is small for five years, she is a beautiful child, with hair that curls like the hair of children in pictures. In October, 1887, just a vear from the birth of Florizel and Waldo, Mrs. Miller gave her husband and all the relatives on both sides a surprise. She presented Mr. Miller, by way of variation from.a monot ony of twins, with three fine boys, small in size, but apparently perfectly healthy. She named them Elmer Osb"orne. Lineard Jerome and Lester Hamilton. They lived only a month, however, and then all died in one day. By this time Mr. Miller was used to surprises. In November, 1888, a year and a month from the birth of the triplets he again became a father. This time it was only a pair of twins. Both were boys, and Mrs. Miller was ready with the usual names for them. One she'ealled Avery Whitnev and the other Alton Sher wood. Avery lived six weeks, while Alton was strong and healthy until six months old, when he died. Content 'With One Boy Next So of a"ll these births, but two girls re mained to the Millers, and Mr. Miller was anxious for a boy. On December 2, 1889, a -ear and less than a month from the birth f the last twins, a boy was born. He came alone, and, when this was well assured, was hailed with great rejoicings. Mrs. Miller called him D. Judson. the D. standincr alone, lending further uniqueness to a most unique collection of names. This boy is still living, and a fine, rollicking, deep chested fellow he is. On the first dav of last month, two years from the last birth, Mrs. Miller suddenly overwhelmed Mr. Miller by bearing triplets, two girls and a boy. The matter was kppfa profound secret an.d only leaked out after many days. The girls Mrs. Miller called Lilian Avery and Gertrude Virginia, respectively, and the boy was named W. Barton. At the end of 11 days the girls died, but the boy is hearty and looks as if he would one day be a voter of the metropolis. INDIANAPOLIS HAS HIGH HOPES Of Securing tho Democratic National Con vention Next Summer. iNDlAXArOLis, Jan. 9.

COVERED WITH A PALL A. Strange Fatality Hanging over Cincin nati Plnj houses Death After Dentil Reported Within a Vt'eek Each of.tlio Prominent Theaters Has a Victim on the 1.1st. Cincin-n-ati, Jan. 9. For the past few days a pall has rested over the theatrical community in the city. Some strange fatality seemed to be pursuing the profes sion. The Museum, the People's and the Grand had each Kuddenlj- and in quick suc cession lost a member of the troop under engagement John Dietel, the fat man at the museum, had succumbed to an attack of la grippe after a very short illness. Then last Sat urday night Lizzie Smith, one of the bright performers at the People's, went to her hotel, and next afternoon was a corpse, an ac cidental over-dose of drugs having eaused her, death. The next night Marv Bird, of "A Straight Tip" company, at the Grand, went irom " the theater to'her room, apd from blazing perfume received injuries which re sulted fatally in a few hours. These last two deaths in the theatrical profession proper had especially filled the more superstitious with forebodings. "There must be a third," was the common re mark behind the scenes, and they wondered to whom the summons would next come. When anybody complained of feel ing badly it drewthe "comment, "It is your turn next." These half jesting, halt seri ous remarks spread a ;gloom in the crowd back of the footlights, despite the forced smile that invariably accompanied them. The consternation can be imagined when yesterday, during rehearsal at Havlin's, one of the troupe rushed in and announced that J. F. Dean, of the "Old Homestead" company, had suddenly breathed his last. A similar scene followed a few minutes later at Hcuck's, where the "Old Home stead" was being rehearsed. Dean had gone to his hotel the night before complain ing of a cold, but no serious fears were en tertained, even yesterday morning, when his condition required the strvices of a doc tor. The sad announcement came over the telephone wire to the theater and caused a great shock to his fellow members of the company. The third victim bad been claimed, but was the charm broken? These fatalities among the player-folk are being generally discussed, especially among theater-goers and professionals. It is wondered whether the dark cloud was hovering over other theaters. WANTS $2,000 F0K A PUCKEB. Curious Suit Itronght by a New York Trench Horn Player. New Yoek, Jan. 9. Felix Nickel, a French horn player, valued his ability to pucker up his lips at just 52,000, and be cause bis lips will not pucker as they use'tl he has sued Ries .Bros., grocers, of First avenue and Eighth street, for that sum. Of the 4,000 musicians in this city, there are only So French horn plavers, as the French horn is a particularly difficult instrument to play well. Mr. Nickel until Inst November was one of the best of the 35. He was an employe at Amberg's The ater, and the sweet notes that lie would draw from his beloved horn pleased Leader Nahan Franko of the orchestra mightily. Mr. Franko paid Mr. Nickel 533 a week for his services, and did not consider that he paid anv too much for them. , On November, 21, as Nickel, with his French horn under his arm, was crossing Second avenue and Eighth street, Bies Brothers' grocery wagon ran into him and knocked him down, and he was injured se verely. He was taken to Bellevne Hospi tal, and the next day to his home, 182 Seventh Btreet, where he was ill in bed for ,fi week. Brora being a strong, hearty man before the accident, he became the very reverse. When he went back aqd took his seat in the orchestra at Amberg's he found that his old time skill had departed from him. His lips would not pucker as he wished them to, and the sweetness of his notes was gone. Try as he would, he could not get the melody out ot his born that he did before the accident. Leader Franko found fault with his play ing, and from being a highly-prized mem ber of the orchestra, Nickel soon be gan to be considered as of little value as a musician. Leader Franko and several mu scians examined Nickel and his plaving, and they said unanimously that he did not play as melodiously as he did before the accident. Mr. Nickel then brought suit azaint the firm of Bies Brothers for 82,000. The firm members are. John F. and Herman H. Bies. McAdam & McAdam, of Temple Court, are Nickel's lawyers. NINETEEN WHITE CAP3 SUED For Administering a Thrashing to Two Hold Indiana Citizens. Jaspeb, Iud., Jan. 9. William Coffee and Henry G.

OVUR SEVENTY DEAD.j Only About 19 Bodies Now Left in the Coal Mines at Krebs, I. T. DISTRESSING SCENES AT THE PIT. A Fad Kace Quarrel Xearlj Precipitates a Second Tragedj. SOME EFFECTS 0E , TnE EXPLOSION McAllister, T. T., Jan. 9. Perhaps it will never be known just "how many lives were lost in the accident. Some of the gal- leries and their approaches are so blocked with debris that it is "nearly impossible to open them. The mine officials now claim that only one man is missing. This is an Italian named Antonia Genezteltet, who seems to have no family and no friends except those who were killed. His body is supposed to be near the main entry under a mass of rocks which has nearly been removed. The men claim there are others dead or im prisoned in the mines. There were 335 men working in the mine Thursday, according to the pay roll and the tally reports of eVery man who goes down the shaft. Of these, 51 dead bodies have been recovered j 137 men escaped by way of shaft No. 7, now used as a ventilating shaft, and 108 were rescued from the main shaft in a critical condition. About 19 Bodies Still In ths Mine. This leaves 39 still unaccounted for. The list of those who escaped by shaft No. 7 and those who were rescued from thp main shaft, is known to be incomplete, and it is believed about 29 escaped . who have not been listed. This would leave about 19 bodies still in the mine. The work of recovering the bodies is very slow and impeded by the caving in of shafts and galleries. It is believed all who es caped death have been rescued. No signs oflive miners entombed within the mine were detected to-day, and the rescuers now expect to find nothing but the remains of the dead. It is claimed now that the undue haste of the entrymen to get away from the mine caused the death of many'miners. The -entrymen fire their own shots. John Hurley and John Williams are Warned as the authors of the accident, but death has al ready called them to a higher court. The mine company and tho owners trill hold an investigation into the cause of the accident. Missouri, Kansas, Pennsylvania, Ohio and other great mining States have State inspectors of mints, but there is no such officer Tipnointed by the Government in the Indian Territory. Tho Itaco Trouble Crops Out. Men of all nationalities are aiding in the work of rescue Americans, Irishmen, Scotchmen, Poles. Welshmen, Italians, Swedes all but negroes are at the work. Some time since the miners refused to work with the negroes. This morning a number of negroes went to Krebs and assisted in the work, butonly in a half-hearted way, and one of their number was'heard to say that it served the miners right to have been killed. The word was passed from mouth to mouth, and the fury of the miners knew no bounds. It seemed as if another horror would be added to the seen, but the United States Deputy Marshal, anticipating some such trouble, was on hand with a posse, and thev drove the colored men from the place at the point of Winchesters. All day and all night there were scenes intensely sad and heartrending. As body after body was removed from the ground, women would throw themselves in front of the shaft in their efforts' to determine at once whether some corpse was not a father, brother or husband. Time and time again were the women pressed and carried back from the mouth of the shaft, but as the work of rescue proceeded the same scene was re-enacted. Corpses Frightfully Dismembered. It was almost impossible to recognize any resemblance to thehuman form in the bodies of many of those rescued. Heads, arms', legs, hands and feet were in many instances torn from the trunks. ,The pit clothes were either partially or entirely burned away. The dead were taken to a blacksmith shop near tne main snail, wnere a morgue naa been improvised, and the living were taken to their homes. The crowd vacillated be tween the shaft and the blacksmith shop all day. v A more horrible sight met the rescuing parties as the bottom of the shaft was reached. Here a head, there a hand or leg protruded from the mass of fallen rock. A number of burned camps and dinner buckets completed the desolation of the scene. The Mine a Complete Wreck. The force of the explosion littrally tore the mine all to pieces. It closed up the galleries and tore down the barricades, which kept the air from circulating freely through the unused portion of the mine. thus cutting off all air from the galleries in use, and left them, as was supposed, wholly untenable. Three carloads of mules were in the mine When the explosion occurred, and, strange to say, only two of the animals were hurt. The frenzied brutes committed great damage to the mine in their efforts to find an outlet. Mr. Fleming, a mining expert, and for eight years Superintendent of the mine, was interviewed this morning in regard to the explosion. He said the whole blame should be placed upon the shot fires who fired the blast too soon. A window-shot caused the catastrophe. The blast was overcharged. STARTED ON A PERILOUS VOYAGE. A Tug Goes Oat Into the lake, Perhaps to Sink From Ice's Weight. DuiUTH, Jan. 9. This morning the tug Edward Fiske left here for Grand Portage arfd Grand Marais, 180 miles down the north shore. It is one of the latest lake trips made for a dozen ycrs, and is generally regarded as a very hazard ous voyage. The weather is about zero and every drop of water or spray that falls upon the boat will become ice at once. Should wind spring up tho boat is likely to be so heavily loaded with ice as to sink. There is no harbor between Two Harbors and Grand Marais, 160 miles. Agent Leahy and Clerk Rodman, of the United States Indian Department, left on the boat to take a census of the Grand Port age Chippewas and to pay them their annuity ot cash and goods." The Indians have lately sent carriers to Duluth rep resenting to the agent that thev were starv ing and terribly in need of the payment, which is several months overdue. The In dians, though living on a'niost inhospitable and barren reservation, have so far reTused to move to White Earth, where ample and fertile lands, warmer and in everv way more desirable climate are offered in ex change. THE PROPOSED NAVAL BRIGADE, Organizer Ettlnz Goes to narrisbarg to Get' Paitiso.i's Consent. PniLADELPniA, Jan. 9. Theodore M. Ettiug, who is endeavoring to organize a naval brigade, went to Harrisburg to-uay to consult with Governor Fattison relative to the authority for recrniting the cunmand in pursuance of the action of the authorities at .Washington, who have agreed to furnish a vessel at any time the Governor shall authorize the formation of the brigade.

South Nokwalk, Coxit., Jan. 9. Henry E. Davies, pastor of the Green's Farms Congregational Church, has been requested to resign. Parson Davies was ordained a preacher two years ago, and from the time of his ordination has had charge of the little church in Green's Farms. So cially Mr. Davies is called an nil round good fellowl He is popular with the young j teresting. The trouble originated with re people inn is always emennining aim iu cent sermons, in wnicn it is ciaiineu me doctrines of the Boman Catholic faith are presented as the only trne religion of the Christian people, and the argumenfis made that man is empowered by God to forgive hhr brother's sins. Dissatisfaction nt this construction of the Bible's teachings began cropping ont a month or more ago and developed into open rebellion on Tuesday when, at a meeting of the society, resolutions were adopted to the effect that Mr. Davies' sermons were unor thodox and that he mnt be made to answer beforethe Prudential Committee. In hisown defense Mr. Davies claimed perfect willing ness to submit his sermons to the Church authorities and asked that a hearing in the matter be had at once. "Pason Davies is rapidly becoming nn atheist," said a prom inent member of the church this afternoon, "and I can see no excuse for him, unless it is that he Is insane. His sermons are just the reverse of what we have been taught to expect and we have decided that we must have a change." DEIVEN TO DEATH BY BROODING. A Tonne Woman T7ho Imagined That Her tiro Was Unbearable. New Yonic. Jan. 9. Special Emma Heyland, daughter of Herman Heyland, a retired leather merchant, committed suicide yesterday afternoon by hanging herself to the door of her room in" her father's house. She was only 22 old. Her mind 'had been unbalanced for a long time, and she was subject to hal lucinations. Last autumn she lancied she had a tumor, and to dispel the delusion, Drs. Schmedlcr and Grau pretended to perform an operation for its removal. Alter making a display of instruments they put her under the influence of ether, and when she had recovered from its effects she was told the tumor had been removed. The trick was successful, bnt her insanity now took the form of melancholia, and she threatened to make away with herself to es cape from a life which she declared to be un bearable. On one occasion she said to her mother: "I am going up to High bridge, to do something desperate, this Very day." She continually read, with a morbid inter est, accounts of suicide and of tragical hap penings, and her brooding over them is sup posed to have caused the act. MUSIC IN GERMANY. Its Culture in a Larsro Menure Dae to Frederick tho Great. bt. I,ouls Globe-Dcmocrat.J The musical culture of Germany is, in great measure, due to Frederick the Great. The military enterprises of this remarkable man did not prevent his being interested in many subjects of social importance to his people. He was a musician, performer upon the Ante and other instrument?, and as he advanced in years he determined to secure as far as possible for his people the advantages of thorough musical culture. He therefore commanded that in every parish school an in the public schools and colleges regular weekly instructions should be given in music, while special provision was made for scholars who developed unusual talent. The result was that all ovrr thckingdom"instructioirin mnsie was given and given well, and in less than 25 Tears innumerable small singing societies sprung up in the country districts of Prussia. The State assistance was continued, and to the present day music is taught in the German schools as a" result of Frederick's flute playing. An Alleged Connt Undor Arrest. New York, Jan. 9 A man claiming to be Count Clarence von Rosen, of Stock holm, was arrested to-day as a suspicious character.

He claims his arrest an outrage. An Insurance Company Called Down. Harrisbueo, Jan. 9. Judge Simonton issued a decree to day requiring the Quaker City Mutual Fire Insurance Company, of Philadelphia, to conduct its business here after on the purely mutual plan, with the premium rate3 as a basis of security. It will also have to keep a separate bank account to the credit of the corporation. Why Boots Squeak. A nnmber of remedies have been sug gested for squeaky boots, but it is doubtful whether anything will put a stop to the annoyance except the driving of a number of pegs through both the soles. The real cause of the noise is the rubbing together of the two soles, and hence it is worse in very dry weather, when the leather is exception ally hard and resisting.

BOTIIN YEET PLUCKY The Jndge at the Seat of the Kansas War Holds On to the Death. HIS SPY IS NOW UNDER ARREST. The Han Had Joined the 'Desperadoes to Eeport Their Plans. MARTIAL LAW IS THE 0XLY SOIUTTOX Arkalona, Kan., Jan. 9. Jndgo Botkin returned this afternoon from Pratt, accompanied by his wife, General Murray Myers, of the State militia, snd three armed friends. He at once started for horae,whilo General Myers went to Springfield to join I the troops. Judge Botkin declares he will remain here until the end of his term.unless killed. When informed that Robert Hutchinson, the man who warned him of the ambuscade, had been arrested, the Judge showed emo- tion and exclaimed, "My God! That man saved my life. He must be given every protection. If it becomes known that he is my friend he will be murdered." Hutchinscn joined the organization which plotted Judge Botkin's death for. the sole purpose of keeping the Judge informed of the progress of the plot. Judge Botkin will go to Springfield Monday and open, court under military protection. The Judge's house is still guarded by a detachment of troops. A Squad of Armed Strangers. Late last night Aaron Potter arrived hers from Springfield, and reported ihat on tha way he, met a waeon with seven armed men. All were strangers to him, and he knows every resident of the county. A courier arrived here to-day from Hngoton, who reported that the posse of Botkin's friends who had been chasing the murderers of Sheriff Dunn into No Man's Land, had been compelled to give up the chase and were returning home. A dispatch from Springfield, Kan., says: Company E has arrived in Springfield and went into camp here after delivering the prisoners to Under Sheriff Larrabee. Under Sheriff Larrabee excused many of his deputies who had been on duty since Tuesday, and was left with only about three men to guard the six prisoners. General Roberts established a picket line around the Court House, and his men are in readiness to protect the Sheriff and his prisoners on a moment's notice. It has been agreed that the preliminary hearing of the men under arrest and those to be arrested shall be held next Thursday at Liberal, a practically neutral town in the extreme southern part of the county. Tho Coroner Verillct Soon Expected. The Coroner's inquest into the killing of Sheriff Dunn, which has been in progress since Wednesday, will probably reach a verdict about noon to-day. General Roberts thinks the most advisable thing forthe Gov ernor to do is to put Stevens and Seward counties under martial law and have a Judge Advocate court try all offenders by court martial. That seems to be the only remedy, as the dspartvre of the troops only means a resumption of the tronbles. W. E. Hutchinson has adjourned the Dis trict C&'irt till Monday morning, when it is snpposed Judge Botkin will be better aoie to hold court. It has been demonstrated in the case of James Brennen, who shot and killed Sam Woods, that in these count es civil law is powerless to punish murder. A military court is the only means by which criminals cau be brought to justice. 4n O.ithboand Organization. A dispatch irom Topeka says: Joseph Pitzer, of Arkalona, attorney for James Brennen, and an intimate friend of Judgn Botkin, arrived in town this morning and held a long consultation with Governor Humphrey in regard to the condition of affairs which pxist in the Second Judicial District. Mr. Fitzer says that there is an oathbound organization of Citizens Al liance men in Woodsdalc and Springfield, whoe object is to kill Judge Botkin. and if he does not retire from the bench they will eventually depose him. Said Mr. Pifzer this morning: "Judge Botkin is, just as likely to be killed in, Stevens county or in Morton as in Seward. It will be necessary not only to arrest those who participated in the plot to'kill him, but those who knew ot it as well and who neglected to inform the authorities." GRIP CAUSES ANOTHER SUICIDE.
