TROUBLES OF A MINING FIRM.
Compelled to Suspend Work by a
Railroad Company For Which the
Miners Cannot Give Thanks.
Njcw SruiiTsULHi:, O., Nov. Kind A
Co. h;ive becti compelled to cloe-their mine
on account of the railroad company re!ufin
t jjive cars to load. They h id been employ
ing 2ui cniou miners and it look4 a$ though
a syndicate of the Hocking Valley Hail road
Coin .any tutvu cornhiaed to drive them out
- "of the valley. The real motive of the Hock
ing Valley j.oj le U not known, but it is the
opinion of the miner that they have been
playing into the hand of th syndicate man
aern, ho object to Ilend running theStraiU
title mint. ItMia. impossible carry out the
threat that they would starve Union men
oat, o hmj a thw mine was in operation.
Mr. Uend ha.s been a friend of the miners
in this valley. When the rtrike ag-vint the
syndicates on account of the redaction of
wages, broke out, he contributed ..V)0 to
relieve the families of impoverished work
men in this place. It is said that at other
Ijints also he w.-.s literal to the starving
men, women and children. Ho maintained
a living rate of wages, and frequently de
clared that the miners were entitled to the
sympathy of all fair-minded men. He stated
thi'.t it wa nothing le:;s tlum infii
inotn that pauper", from abroad,
should be brought here to starve na
tivel miners into subjection. This is not
the first attempt made by the syndicate to
taJce revenue on Mr. Keud. A few weeks ago
they Hent emissaries among his own miners
and by clever work indaced them to o out
on e strike. Mr. Kend, who was in Chicago,
was telegraphed for by his superintendent,
and responded promptly. He came home,
called a meeting of his employes and ex
plained the situation to them. They saw at
once that he had been played upon and re
turned to work.
s Chicago, Nov. !. A reporter who called
i at Hand's office to-day was informed that
that gentleman had left for New Straitsville,
()., yesterday morning. He had been advised
by the superintendent of his mine at that
Iint that the Hocking Valley Koad had re
fused to give him cart to load. Those in
cliargu of the office in this city had no fur
ther information in regard to the trouble.
Bloodshed Feared.
Cleveland, Nov. LC. The greatest anxie
ty is felt here over the situation in the Hock
ing Valley. Late to-night it was learned
that the colonel of the Fifth regiment, locat
ed in this city was quietly at work enlisting
a company to prepare for active service in
the Hocking Valley. After waiting for many
days, Gov. Iloadly has concluded to call out
the militia. The miners are having a hard
time of It. They can take their choice,
being arretted or shot down by poldiers. In
case these schemes of the Hocking magnates
fail, as a last resort the poverty-stricken
miners are to bo starved out. The situation
is hourly growing more desjx rate, and blood
shed is feared.
CROUCH'S LIFE INSURED.
? A Witness Testifies that Holcomb
Made the Application.
Jackson, Mich., Nov. 20". At the opening
of the court this forenoon Geo. Bolles was
again put on the stand, and kept there by
both sides till noon, but very little new tes
timony was brought otit. He explained, by
using his hands, how the blows he heard the
night of the murder sounded, and the time
between them. There were three blows upon
tio floor, followed by the cry of "oh." Then
another blow followed, and another "oh,"
and a final blow upon the floor. After that
all was still but the wind. He said Crouch
owed him 2M at the time of tho murder.
After hi release from jail he started on Hol
comb's horo, but met Dan and camo back,
and the latter paid him the amount. Wit
ness swore positively that he did not know
who it was that did the murder, nor never
though he did. riever spoke with Julia
Reese fdoai it while in jail, but saw her
daily.
An insurance agent swore that in 1S79 Hoi
comb hail Crouch's life insured, answering
the questions and signing Crouch's name to
the apj hcation.

Glenn was arrested. He claimed thrt Hol-
land struck him with a stick twice (Wore the
stabbing took placA. Holland was a black
smith, aged 2 h Glenn is aged 'X). At one
time during th night the jail was surrounded
bv a mob who threatened to lynch tho mur
drer, but wiser heads persuaded them to
abandon the rurise. The mayor was in
formed of the situation and appeared on the
scene. He addressed the crowd, warned
them that all disorderly persons would be
arrested and requested the people to dis
perse, which they did.
A Troublesome Crank.

UNION WITHOUT HARMONY.
Cold-Water Sauce Not Relished on
Thanksgiving Turkey.
Iijon, N. Y., Nov. ttf. For several years it
has bt-en the cu-sUm of the citiens of lliou
to hold union fcervices onTLauk-giving Day.
The Frerbjterians would throw open their
church one year, the Uapti-t.s the next and
the Methodists would follow thd example et
by the Presbyterians and Baptists. Hitherto
the bet of good feeling Las prevailed and
the three congregations have united with a
will. This year the St. John element in pol-
itic bis edged its way into religion al-o, and
the demon of discord las been rampant.
This is in the natural sequence of events, the
Uapti-trt year, and the pastor of the Presby
terian church is the man! who, according to
thft llion rule of three. delivers the discourse.
That ho will preach from a pulpit whence
doctrines of the etficay Df water as an out
ward application naturally emanate is a
matter of no moment to Republicans who
look with disfavor on the St. John move
ment. Unfortunately, however, this same
clergyman, Rev. M. K. Dunham',
has preached tho virtues of
water taken internally as a panacea for all
the evils of polities and indigestion. While
Mr. Duuham has, no doubt, been sincere in
his advoeacv of the modern St. John, he has
antagonized a large jjortion of earnest tem
reraiiee workers, man v of whom will neither
contribute to the support of his church nor
listen to his preaching. Ihis fcehr g of an
tagonism has found vent in hundreds of cir
culars of unknown authorship which have
been scattered about town. The circulars
read ils follows: "Good Renublicans and
others who can find anything to feel especially
tbanktul about in the results or the late elec
tion will, of course, attend services at the
Raptist Church on Thanksgiving day and
listen to the oration on that occasion. A full
attendance of Democrats and Prohibitionists
is already assured.
A PENITENTIARY BURGLARIZED.
i
Experts Secure $3,000 From the Jail
that Should Hold Them.
Bbooklin, N. Y., Nov. 'JG. It has been
demonstrated now that thieves cannot only
break out of the Kings county penitentiary,
but can break into it. The prison looks
very secure from the outside, for it is sur
rounded by high walls and the windows are
protected by stout iron bars. Furthermore,
there are watchmen who are supposed to be
always around and prepared to resist any at
tempted intrusion, a3 well as to prevent any
escaie. The idea of an attempt being
made by burglars to break into 'the prison
would seem to be ridiculous. To the un
professional thief it would look like walking
directly into tho lion's month. It is not sur
prising, therefore, that Warden Green should
be slightly vexed when he was informed this
morning that burglars had broken into the
prison and robbed tho safe in the shoe shop.
The burglars entered tho window of the
shop on the Carroll street side. They used
a stout iron bar or sectional jimmy and pried
tho bars of the windows apart. They took
upwards of $.'?,000, which the Bay State shoe
and leather company had sent there yester
day to pay otT the outside help. Several de
tectives have leen sent out to the penitentary.
That the burglars were professionals there is
no doubt, and they certainly knew of the
money in the safe.

Senator Conger and His Office.
Boston, Nov. 2. A Washington special
fays: "The report is again circulated that
Senator Conger, of Michigan, is to reign in
order to succeed Chief Justice Carter on the

fill his seat in the Senate. Mr. Conger says
he knows nothing of the President's plans."

OUR NATIONAL AFFAIRS
SOME CURRENCY STATISTICS.
An Increase of the Business of the Na
tional Banks The Affairs of the
Navy Discussed.
Washington, Nov. 20. Comptroller of the
Currency Cannon has just completed his an
nual reiort. Tliat portiou devottd to na
tional bank statistics tdiows that during the
year ending November 1, 1881, 191 banks
were organized with an aggregate capital of
$ lC,012f!, and with $3,800,2:50 circulation.
Since the establishment of the banking sys
tem in 1803, there have been organized 3,201
national banks, and, of this number, 2,071
were in existence Nov. 1, lat, the largest
number in operation at any one time. The
corporate existence of ninety banks expired
during the year, of which eighty-three have
been extended. The coriorat existence of
lfl banks will expire dnring November and
December this year, and 720 banks with an
aggregate capital of s i80,uU0,XX will expire
during 1885. Kleven banks have failed and
were placed in the hands of receivers during
the year.
Items of resources and liabilities
tabulated in the report indicate
that the business of the national banks dur
ing the past eleven years has generally in
creased. " The aggregate liabilities of na
tional banks to depositors and correspon
dents were reduced during the year more
than 100,000. This reduction of liabili
ties and general reduction of loans by banks,
which amounted to more .than $03,000,000,
during the year was doubtlessly caused, the
comptroller says, by financial troubles last
May, nnd the general depression of business.
Naval Affairs Discussed.
WAsniNOTON, Nov. 20. The sub-committee
of the appropriation committee having the
Navy Bill in charge, had a conference with
Secretary Chandler to-day. The Secretary
said the affairs of the Department had gone
on smoothly thus far under the continuance
of the old appropriation, and the committee
seemed to favor the idea of further continu
ing it for the rest of the year. The question
of the reconstruction of the navy will prob
ably be considered iu co ar.estion witli th3
new bill for the fiscal year.

MICHIGAN'S INSANE.
Some Information Concerning Num
bers and Their Accommodation.
F. M. Carroll returned from Kalamazoo
yeiterday, where he endeavored to gain for
his brother Charles admission to the Insane
Asylum. His efforts were entirely fruitless,
owing to the present over-crowded oondi
tion of that institution. While in Kalama
zoo he received from Dr. Foster Pratt some
very significant information relative to
Michigan's insane. The doctor says there
are 2,500 insane people in the State to be
cared for. The asylum at Kalamazoo can
comfortably, and without danger to attend
ants, accommodate C50. They now have
theie over 800. The Pontiac asylum can
care for 00 comfortably, but now contains
over 000. The asylum at Traverse City can
care for 500, when complt ted. Besides these
institutions of the State there are a few
private institutions that provide for a small
number each. From this it will be seen how
utterly inadequate are the provisions in this
State for tho unfortunate insane. In the
case of Charles Carroll, who served four
years during the war, and the last nine
months of the time inside of wretched rebel
prisons, it seems Bad that there is no institu
tion to open its doors to him and provide
treatment for the unfortunate inalady, tliat
was brought upon him only from the hard
ships and exposures received in serving his
country in war. '
The School Exhibit at New Orleans.
The pupils of the se veral school depart
ments in the city have been asked to con
tribute their share to the collection at New
Orleans Exposition, and Supt. Mitchell has

ting the specimens together and classifying
them. About sixty specimens of pupils'
work in geography, arithmatic. spelling,
writing and composition from the grade to
the High School. The display of drawing
and designing will be especially attractive.
Some of the best specimens of designing for
wood carving aro now on exhibition in Pat
ten's Art Emporium windows on Monroe
street, together with these designs ciecuted
on wood. The designs are finely executed
and would do credit to much more advanced
artists.
CARPE DIEM.
A Thanksgiving Fable Related by
Puck."
Sallie Fussandfeather was tho finest turkey-hen
in the farm-yard' of Silas Groot
She had been born in th6 Spring from an
unusually largo egg, and each eacceeding
month had seen her increase in beauty and
plumpness. Every feather was slick and
smooth, and if there was any fault about her
it "was i -realise she waddled a little from very
fatness. She was the acknowledged belle of
the yard, and it was thought the proper thing
when John Dindon, the magnificent turkey
cock, picked her out as his favorite hen.
Silas Groot, the farmer, did the same
thing, and one day as Sallie strayed near the
open window, she heard him say:
"We shall have a fine feast on Sallie Fuss
andfeather come Thanksgiving. She is just
in shape to kill."
Sallie saw that her beauty bid fair to be
her ruin, and at onco knew that she must
take measures to save her life. She thought
of running away, but gave that up when she
remembered the savage xlogs outside. Then
she determined on starving herself. She re
fused the fat worms and grains of corn
which John Dindon brought her, and she
ate only enough to sustain life. Sho stood
out in the rain, neglected her feathers and
moped like a sick cat. She soon became
thin and worn, and as shabby as she had
been beautiful. John Dindon deserted her,
and she was the laughing stock df the whole
yard. But she was more than repaid for all
her sufferings when, on the day before
Thanksgiving, she heard Silas Groot say:
'Something is tho matter with Sallie Fuss
andfeather. She is too poor to kill, and she
won't do for dinner."
That night Silas took her from her roost,
chopped off her head, and sent her as a pres
ent to a poor family.

PRACTICAL GRATITUDE.
THANKS-GIVING FOR THE POOR.
Over Four Hundred Dollars Contrib
uted for the Benefit of the Worthy
Poor in the City.
! The household of many a poor family will
be gladdened to-day by a full twpply of good
things for a substantial Thanksgiving din
ner, and thanks to the generous well-to-do
citizens of Grand Rapids. No worthy pro
ject was eTer undertaken and met with such
prompt response as the one undertaken and
executed by Congressman Houseman, I.
M. Weston and Supt. Perry yesterday
These gentlemen met at Sweet's Hotel
yesterday forenoon, 8upL Perry was handtnl
a subscription paper headed with the names
of Messrs. Houseman and Weston, and in a
few houre succeeded in raising over $400.00.
The Alderman and Superintendents of the
Poor met in the city building in the after
noon. The lists of the city poor were boou
completed from those of the Superintendent,
the U. B. A. Home, St. Mark's Home and
from suggestions made by those present. A
committee to purchase supplies was ap
pointed. They did their work promptly and
effectually, and by 7 o'clock in the evening
the city supply store, under the American
Express building on Pearl street, was well
filled with turkeys, chickens, ducks, oysters,
steaks and roasts. There was also an abund
ance of crackers and canned fruits and vege
tables. Messrs. Houseman, Weston and
Mayor Belknap were soon on
hand and hard at work sort
ing out tho provisions, labelling them
with addresses of the families to whom they
are to be distributed this morning. Mayor
Belknap took hold of the work heart and
soul, and volunteered to distribute the food
among the poor of the Sixth and Seventh
wards himself. When it made this proposi
tion, some suggested he had better have
some help; that he could not do it all alone.
" On, yes I can," he replied, as he grabbed a
twelvt S oun turkey and marked it to a man
in the Fifth ward, with a family of nine
children. The prime movers, together with
the Mayor and the Aldermen, were kept
busy until after 10 o'clock, dividing up the
turkeys and such among the 250 poor fami
lies on the list. This morning they will be
distributed in tho city under the direction of
the Aldermen and others who have interested
themselves in the work. Wagons have been
procured, without any expense to the city,
and the work of distribution will be prompt
and in time to give the recipients time
to prepare their presents for dinner. The
little gamin have not been overlooked and
will have a feast in the old Peninsular Club
house between one and two o'clock this af
ternoon. The newsboys, boot-blacks and in
fact all youngsters unacquainted with fre
quent recurrence of a "square" meal are
cordially invited to be present and gorge
themselves, though they must not put any
away in their pockets. The following are
the names of the citizens who so frequently
contribute toward making so many of their
fellow-townsmen having occasion in a great
