Kansas City, Dec. 5. —The Journal's Al
buquerque, N. M., special says: “At Union,
near Mesilla, on Tuesday last, Aligo Garcia
died under circumstances which led to the
suspicion of poisoning. His wife has since
confessed that she murdered her hus
band by putting arsenic in his
food. About a year ago, she, an
attractive senorita of good family, married
Garcia, but continued, clandestinely, to re

Some Sense About Stoves,
lialteuton News. •
New-fangled ornamental stoves, as intri
cate ii3 a steam engine and more wasteful of
coal, are pronounced to be a mistake. One
hundred pounds of coal might be burned in
a stove constructed entirely of mica without
radiating heat enough to comfortably warm
a small bed-room. A considerable portion of
the outer surface of these stoves which is not
mica is nickel, copper or silver, rendered
very smooth and highly polished. If one
should seek, by careful study, observation
and experiment, to find materials that would
radiate tiie smallest amount of heat, he
would {finally select the substances named,
and would finish them in the manner they
appear in the modern parlor stove. The re
maining parts of the stove which require
strength, are made o e iron, it is true, which
is, when rough, a very good radiator. In
the stove, however, it is highly polished or
covered with plumbago, which is rubbed till
it is as smooth as plate-glass. In this condi
tion it is a very poor radiator of heat.

THE COnOES FIRE.
Rolling-Mills Burned, Entailing a Loss of
Nearly Half a Million,
Cohoes, Jan. s.—The rolling-mills of Mor
rison, Colwell & Page are burning. The
Pilot Mills of r. Gugertv, and the tubing
works of A. G. Curtis & Cos., are in danger.
A high wind is blowing.
A later dispatch says the rolling-mills area
total loss, and the Pilot Mills are burning
fiercely.
Subsequently, the fire was got under con
trol. Morrison, Colwell & Page’s rolling
mill, O’Brien & Powers’ knitting-mills, and
the Pilot Mills were totally destroyed. The
loss exceeds $250,000; insured for two-thirJa.
The fire originated in the wheel pit of
the rolling-mill. Work was suspended last
Friday for repairs, and was to be resumed
this morning. During the severe cold last
night the wheel was frozen in the pit. The
engineer began thawing it out by the usual
process, whei£ by some accident, the oil
caught fire and the flames spread with most
wonderful rapidity. The firemen did splen
did work, and successfully diverted the
fire from the central portion of the city,
which includes the great knitting manu
factories. A more rapid fire never was seen..
Inside one hour from the time the oil took
fire in the wheel pit, the entire
works had been consumed, ar.d nothing
was left but the furnaces and their chimneys.
The flames drove the workmen away so
quickly that they had no time to think of
drawing the furnaces, hence the loss is much
greater than it otherwise would have been,
as the iron will have to cool in them and
they will then have to be taken apart.
The total loss on the rolling-mill is now
estimated at $500,000; the insurance is about
$75,000.
The flames were driven to the Pilot Mills,
which were soon enveloped. The fire ran
riot through the oily and combustible ma
terial, and communicated from one story to
another with great rapidity. Within five
minutes this immense brick structure was
totally enveloped in flames and the firemen
utterfv helpless to stay their progress. Soon
a gasoline tank exploded, rending and level
ing the walls. Loss on Gu.srertv’s mill, SIOO,-
000; insurance $75,000. O’Brien & Powers’
mill occupied a portion of the Pilot Mills
building, and is involved in the general ruin.
Loss $350,000; partially insured.
Tiie Morrison, Caldwell & Page rolling
mills, in which the tire originated, cost, it is
claimed, $600,000. Loss on building and ma
chinery, $250,000; insurance extensive and
well distributed.

Salem, Mass., Jan. s. —Danvers’ rolling
mill, at Danversport, was burned to-day.
Loss, $40,000; insured partially.

CONSPIRACY LAW.
Jere Black's Letter of Legal Advice to Meu
Under Arrest for Fomenting a Strike.
Flttaburg Special
The following letter from the lion. Jere
miah 9. Black is in answer to one written by
Mr. D. It. Jones, miners’ general secretary,
in relation to the arrest of Messrs. Jones and
Anderson for conspiracy, on information ot
the Waverly Opal Company. After a few
preliminary remarks, Judge Black says:
“Any number of employers may combine
together and act in concert to reduce the
wajres of their workmen, and nobody lias
ever called that a conspiracy. But if the
laborers in a shop unite ro increase their
wages, and threaten to quit work unless
they are better paid, this, according
to the old decisions in England and
America, is a criminal offense. More recent
cases, however, lay down the rule that a
body of laborers may as lawfully say what
they will take as employers may determine
what they will give. Somewhat slowly, and
with evident reluctance, capitalists have suf
fered the judicial mind to reach the con
clusion that the employer does not exactly
own the workman. If, therefore, the aim of
your association was nothing more than to
put up the price of your labor to a satisfac
tory standard and to counteract the natural
tendency of other interests to reduce it, you
are innocent people, and the court will say
so. I infer from your letter that you solic
ited others to join with you and make a de
mand for wages as high as your own or
else stop work. That was not wrong
either. If you had a right, to form the asso
ciation, you had an equal right to get as
many into it as you could, so that outsiders
might not defeat its purpose by cutting under.
But you did not confine your membership or
your influence to your immediate fellows
working together with you in the employ
ment of the same master. You went to an
other mine, owned by other parties, and per
suaded, or tried to persuade, the underpaid
coal-diggers there that justice to themselves,
as well as to you, required tneiu to lay down
their tools unless they got the rates generally
received in tiie neighborhood. At first blush
this looks like intermeddling with a matter
which did not concern you. But, in truth, you
bad a fair interest in it, because the accept
ance of smaller compensation by one man
always tends to depress that of another.
Your resistance to low wages was, no doubt,
weakened by the admission of others near
you. This principle is understood by em
ployers. If Scott, and Garrett, and Jewett
would agree to reduce the wages of the labor
ers on their railroad 20 per cent., Vander
bilt’s refusal to do likewise would be a thing
of evil example in their eyes, and they would
exert all their influence to make him come
down to their level. Persons engaged in a
common cause, whether it be to raise or
lower wages, are entitled to the support
THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1883.
of others if they can get it by fair
means. They charge you, however,
with getting or attempting to get
the concurrence you wanted vi et arm is
—that is to say, by force and with arms. If
your association went to the other mine in a
body or sent a very large delegation.it was
not worse than any other big meeting, un
less you behaved with unlawful violence.
Our institutions and iiabits rather encourage
the peaceable show of numbers as a means
of persuasion. All organizations, political,
religiousand charitable, resort to it. But
you went there, or said you would go, with
a brass band. Ido not think this implied
violence or any threat of violence. A trum
pet or a trombone is not a deadly weapon,
and music is not essentially wicked, or else
it would not be used, as it always is, in
church and camp-meetings.
In addition to these charges of conspiracy
and riot, you are accused, as I understand
you, of bribery. The miners whom you
were trying to convert to your way of think
ing had agreed thai. they would forfeit $lO
apiece if they did not work a full year at the
rates of wages previously agreed upon be
tween them and their employers. This pen
alty for accepting your doctrine and acting
upon it they could not pay without assist
ance. Your association offered to give them
the necessary material aid. This does not
come within any common law or statutory
definition of bribery that I know of. I may
have misconceived this whole case. If I
have, it is your fault. I take the facts as I
gather them from your statement, which
does not profess to be perfect or full. But,
assuming it to be proximately correct, as a
general outline, you are certainly in no dan
ger of being sued, for the district attorney is
a gentleman much too sensible to ask a con
viction on such grounds. I am, very truly,
your obedient servant. J. S. Black.
PORTER'S CASE ABROAD.
A Borman •Military Critic on the Second
Battle of Bull Run.
Philadelphia Times.
An able and interesting work on the case
of Fitz John Porter has recently been pub
lished in Germany. Its title is. “Der Feld
zug in Nord Virginien ini August, 1862,” and
its author is F. Mangold, an artillery officer
in the Imperial service. It contains between
three and four hundred pages, and has at
tached to it several carefully-prepared and
valuable maps. The author remarks in his
preface that such cases as that of Fitz John
Porter are fortunately very rare. He adds
that it is a very remarkable case for the
reason, first, that an officer of General Por
ter’s ability and high rank should
have been accused of treason and diso
bedience of orders, and should then have been
convicted on false testimony and should
still have escaped with his life. This is a
repetition of what lias been said by other au
thorities, that General Porter should have
been condemned to death or else honorably
acquitted, and that the court-martial which
tried him stultified itself in adopting the
middle course which it did. Secondly, that
after it had been fnllv ascertained that so
great an injustice had been done to a distin
guished and patriotic officer so many years
should have been permitted to elapse with
out awarding to him the restitution to
which he is so clearly entitled, the author
intimating very distinctly that the treat
ment which General Porter has received
from our government has cast a very dark
stain upon the name of the American peo
ple.
Major Mangold states that his Role object
in publishing this work is to contribute his
niitc to the defense of a skillful and meritor
ious officer, who has been cruelly outraged.
In scathing terms of rebuke he comments on
the course pursued by Generals McDbwell
and Pope, neither of whom has gained any
distinction except as the defeated command
ers in two of the most disastrous bat ties of
t’ne war, and lie points out why it was neces
sary for them to pursue the‘course wh ; ;h
they did in order Ln save- Jor tWenicwl ,n v
reputation whaiever. The fact that Mc-
Dowell and Pope, the commanding officers
at the first and second battles of Bull
Ilun, should have been pe unit ted for
the past fifteen years or more to hold the
high rank in the United States army which
they have done, while General Porter has
been disgraced and several other officers of
rare merit have been compelled to remain in
inferior positions, furnishes a striking com
ment on the gratitude of republics.
Tiie work of Major Mangold, though of re
cent date, was written some time prior to the
appearance of General Grant’s article in the
North American Review. Both writers in
many particulars appear to have taken the
same views of this important case, and the
German officer clearly demonstrates as he
proceeds with his work that General Porter
was for his conduct at the second battle of
Bull Run deserving of high commendation,
instead of the unjust and iniquitous sentence
imposed upon him by the court-martial.

A Long, a Last, a Sad Farewell.
Honolulu Saturday PreiM.
Last Saturday evening twenty-nine lepers
were sent from the branch Leper Hospital to
Molokai by the steamer Mokolil. The steam
er anchored off the marine railroad, and tiie
lepers were brought from the hospital in
drays and taken to the little jetty at the
quarantine grounds, from which they were
carried in boats to the Mokolil. Tiie re was
one Chinaman in the lot; tiie others natives,
sixteen males and twelve females. A large
number of people were gathered at the hos
pital to see their friends, and later, at 5
o’clock, when the lepers were taken to the
steamer, they assembled on the shore to bid
the unfortunates a last farewell. There was
considerable walling by those on shore, and
the parting scene was an affecting one.

many aiul Russia—Cable Notes.
Paris, Jan. 5. —It is estimated that 15,000
persons yesterday visited the Palais Bour
bon, where the hotly of Gambetta is lying.
The cabinet council has invited the com
manders of army corps and judges to attend
Gambetta’s funeral. In consequence of the
New Year’s fair on the Boulevard, the funeral
procession will pass through the Rue de
Rivoli, the Boulevard de Sebastopol and the
Rue de Turbigo. The entire front of the
Chamber of Deputies is draped in respect to
Gambetta.
The number of wreaths sent to be placed
on Garabetta’s coffin exceeds 2.000. Over one
hundred deputations from the provinces will
attend the funeral. Eight orations will be \
delivered at the entrance to the cemetery of
Pere La Chaise. Among the speakers will
be the Minister of Justice, representing the
government, and Peyrat, vice-president of
the Senate, representing that body.
The statues in the Place de la Concorde
will be veiled to-morrow. The troops will
march past Gambetta’s coffin at the gates of
the cemetery of Pere la Chaise.
Duclerc, President of the Council, is nn- j
well, and will be unable to take part in the
funeral ceremonies. Lacour will speak in
behalf of the government of national defense,
Chatour for the Alsace-Lorraine Association,
and Kable for the Alsatians.
Pere Hyacinthe will preach the funeral
sermon on Sunday.
The gas and electric lamps in the Place do
Concorde will be lighted and veiled with
crape on Saturday.
There will be funeral services at Nice on
Tuesday, the municipality bearing the ex
pense.
One hundred thousand persons viewed the
coffin on Thursday and Friday.
The Paix denies that Gambetta’s death lias
produced any great change in the foreign
policy of the republic, which neither desires
nor fears war, and adds: “If forced into it
by the action of any power, France would
undertake it without, as it would have done
with Gambetta.”
A Berlin disnatch states that the Provin
cial Correspondence concludes a warm tribute
to Gabetta thus. “It is our right and duty to
pay testimony to the greatness of this
i extraordinary man, whom we have
learned to know in honorable com
bat, and whose future destinies we fol
lowed with the respectful sympathy which
he compelled alike from friends and foes.”
La France asks: “What has France done
to Death? Has Bismarck signed a compact
with it? General Chaucv’s death is a great
sorrow. The Germans feared him as they
dreaded General Skobeleff.”
A Disgraceful Encounter.
Paris, Dec. s.—To-day, while Paul DeClere
was watching by the side ot Gambetta’s cata
falque, Mayer walked into the room. De
j Clere said: “You have no right to approach
| the coffin of the man you insulted during
I life.” With these words he struck Meyer,
who returned the blow. Bystanders sepa
rated them.

PETERBOROUGH CATHEDRAL.
Oll© of the Most Venerated and Beautiful

Peterborough Cathedral, the central tower
of which is to be demolished, is one of the
finest religious edifices to be found in Eng

monastery founded by one of the Mercian
thanes, Saxulph. The Danes, during one .of
their periodical marauding excursions into
England, about the year 870, attacked the
building, and, after a protracted siege, bat
tered down the walls, slaughtered the priestly
inmates, and set fire to the cathedral itself,
causing its complete destruction. King
Kthelwold, surnanied by his subjects "The
Skillful Architect of (rod.” rebuilt the place
some year* afterward, and it remained intact
*vntil the year 1110, when, as had been proph-
esied by Egelic, the Bishop of Durham, it
was again completely destroyed by fire,
John of Salisbury, a noted ab
bott, in 1818 commenced the
foundation of the building of to-day. Tiie
grandeur of its outline so greatly impressed
the country folks in the neighborhood that
they christened the new cathedral “Peter
borough, the Proud,” and the principal feat
ures of the building as it was then, the mas
sive column in front, and magnificent arches,
over eighty feet in height, have survived the
inroads of modern improvements, and re-
as they were originally planned
and executed by the Twelfth century archi
tect. Tiie cathedral consists of a large nave,
with side aisles, with a choir terminating
in a semi-circle at the east end; while the
side aisles make a complete circuit of the
building. The transcept was designed by
Sir Reginald Bray, and the central tower
was built by Abbott DeWaterville. The
latter piece of work, however, had to be re
duced by three stories some years ago, as, in
the opinion of competent judges, its fall
was only a question of time. Peterborough
was often made a resting-place by English
sovereigns as they journeyed to and from
the North.
Edward lIT. held the Easter festival there
with his queen in tho 1327, and the little en
tertainment cost the Abbot of the Cathedral
$2,500. Cardinal Wolsey celebrated tiie same
feast thereon a more elaborate scale 200 years
afterward. The body of Catherine, of Arrar
gan, tine first wife of Henry VIII., lies be
tween two pillars near the altar, and lovely,
but unfortunate. Mary Queen of Scots rested
there until her subsequent removal to West
minster, where she now sleeps, long forgot
ten. The cathedral underwent some terrible
usage at the hands of Cromweil in 1643. It
was utilized by him as a stabling place for
his soldiers’ horses, and the troopers *tore
down valuable monuments, and ruthlessly
destroyed many priceless relics of past ages
in their puritan fury. One of the soldiers,
it is said, having discharged a musket shot at
the statues of tiie four evangelists that stood
above the communion table, was struck
blind by the rebound of his own bullet.
Dr- Harter’s Iron Tonic-
The attention or th© readers or this paper is
called to the advertisement; of Ur. Harter’s Iron
Tonic, which appears iit another column. It is
indorsed by all physicians as containing the
very elements essential to tlie eradication of the
seeds of Dyspepsia, General Debility, Female
Diseases, want of vitality, etc.., from rm- system.
Tiie medicine is manufactured by the Dr. Harter
Medicine L’pmpnity, Sr.. Louis, Mo. A large force
•of men is kept continually at work receiving and
tilling orders and shipping goods, and the sales
are rapidly increasing. You may have a preju
dice to what some might term a parent medicine,
but in this case it would bo absurd, for it is a
medicine compounded with great care by skilled
persons, and contains iron and calisaya bark, in
connection with the phosphites, and any who
have, tin- slightest knowledge of medicines Know
that these are necessary 111 cases where the con
stitution is shattered or weakened. Let at least
one bottle be tried by you who are in need of
medicine, and you will thereafter use it and save
many an expensive doctor bill.
