I tlon would result In Intimidating other London
' Jki newspapers that might feel inclined to print
r7 tbo story, and that moro bluff was ail that was
i t necessary to effect this. It has been far
different, Every newspanor in London
'' has been obliged to refer to the matter,
and the loathsome scandal has bo
come publla property. Whether or not Eus
ton Is Innocent, ho has succeeded In Rotting
hlmsolf Into a predlcamont bo had not fore

gentlemen Implicated oonslder that he has sel
fishly sacrificed their last hopes of Immunity In
tho effort to olonr himself, and bo Is being cut

Euston has admitted that thoro eilitod such

that sort of a simple Christian life that lncllnos

The Prince of Wales and the Duke of Edin
burgh had a desperate Quarrel ovor tho I'lfo
wedding. The proud sister of the Ozar of all
tho Hussion, whose feelings wore terribly
lacorated by Beatrice's marriago with Henry
of Dattenberg, almost went into hysterics upon
bearing ol Louise of Wales's ongaeoment to a
common Scotch peer, and abe and ber husband
did tbeir best to break off the match, which
, was the moro galling seeing that Louise bad
fj' already refused a Russian Grand Duke. Tbe
' efforts foiled, and thenceforth Wales and Edln-
H oargir never 'spoke as they passod by. The
,l (L anniversary of the death of Queen Victoria's
i,, j husband ,1s., however, approaching, and It is
v " 1 her Majesty's otistom at this season of the yonr
.'.j 1 to Insist upon the ssttlomontoffamllydlsputes.
' A Tho Prince of Wales was summoned to Wlnd-
sor early In the week, and the Duke wont there
1 on Thursday. Each was appealed to by his
' I mother, and both promised to be good boys,
; I and yesterday they met In London, shook
1 bands, and lunched together. This evening
' H they started together for Wales's place at
Bandringham, when tbo Duke will make
I friends with the Princess of Wales. The
I'' Ji Prince bad previously made it up with the
; Mf. Duchess of Fife, and the brothers havo now to
8 effect a reconciliation betwoentbe two royal
, 4 SI ladies, a task they will doubtless accomplish.
' ' ' It Fortune bos not been altogether kind to royal
VJ'-j JI personages this week. Prince Albert Victor of
mi Wales, who is playing tho sportsman In Mysore,
i W narrowly escaped being trampled to death by
) an energetic bat lnaonsiderate, wild elephant
el The Prince displayed running powers worthy
jr Of a record-beating sprinter, and thereby
,j averted awkward complications In connection
with the succession to the British crown.
About the same time that Albert Victor's
oat tails were flying horizontally In the wind
in India two relatives were having an unpleas
ant time in Europe. Prlnoe Henry of Batten
berg, Queen Victoria's son-in-law, having ob
tained a brief respite from danclngattondance
upon her Majesty, nnwlsely went la for yacht
ing, for which he is fitted neither by nature nor
by training. The Mediterranean received him
, most unkindly, not to say feroolously, and It
was a wobegone Prlnoe and battered little
I yacht that arrived at Messina on Wo lnosday,
Y Princes Beatrice, Henry's portly wife. Is
I credited with the possession of a considerable
1 amount pt tact but no showed none of it on
.- lost Thursday when she joumoved to Sllvor-
; j town, a wretched rlvorstde oastern suburb, to
i j open a Tory church bazaar. The people of
i ' iUlvertown are mainly employed at the groat
rubber works there, and for throe months
past tboy have been on strike for shorter
hours and less mlserablo pay. Tho strug
, ale bos been very bitter. Tho strikers
bave bad little outside assistance and they are
now upon the verge ot starvation. They were
In no mood on Thursday, therefore, for flags
and guards of honor and gorgeously clad
flunkeys. Their leaders hod beggod them to
K be oalm, but the sight of the stout bsfurred
Princess and her well-nourished footmen and
majors domo proved too much for the patience
tj4 pt the starring workers, and they booted and
. W groaned at the royal cortege as it passed.
-'17 The Czar has for the moment ceased to think
"1 f the Eastern question, having painful per-
; 1 aonal and family worries to occupy his spare
, I time. An epidemic- of Influenza of distressing
y I intensity is raging at Bt Petersburg, and at the
a 1 present moment 10 per cent ot the population
-jB are affected, the boom in pocket bandker-
; I, chiefs being, in consequence, prodigious. Tbo
r, ' lsfeotlon spread to the palace, aad worked its
fa Insidious way through tho household to the
Imperial family. The Ozar commenced to
sneeze on Tuesday evening, and although he
promptly and unselfishly quarantined himself,
the Empress soon found her own normal sup
p'AfBocket handkerchiefs Inadequate for In
creasing demands. Now the Czar, Czarina,
and all the little Grand Dukes and Oread DnVi
esses are suffering alike in absurdly audible
concert.
Americans who stay at home at ease should
'4 not oonslder this matter.too lightly, for accord-
. ' lag to eminent medical authority the tendenoy
of this disease Is to become pandemia It will
almost certainly spread to other part of
Europe, and there Is not the slightest reason
why It should not take a, trip across the Atlan

demically, was In 1817, and it is computed tbat
J upon that occasion 350X00 persons suffered.
Y The disrespect toward royalty witnessed this
week ha not been confined to the living. The
Deutsche Theater in Berlin has been rehears
ing a new military play, said to be of great
merit but at the last momont Its performance
ha been prohibited because the character of
Elector George William of Brandenburg Is not
delineated with tho rospect due to tbo ances

In Bpsln the Radicals and Republicans, en
couraged by the success ot tho revolution in
Brazil, are beginning to threaten Queen Re
gent Christina with dlro pains and penalties
should she attempt to rolapso Into the abso
lutism of which she has become- suspected
slnco tho long visit of the autoaratlo Austrian
Archduke.
Tbo Persians have now no doubt that his
Europoan tour upsot the Bhob's mental equi
librium. Aftor ho returnod to Teheran ho
went about the palace sntlSng In an unklnglr
fashion, and now ho neor stirs abroad without
complaining of the abominable smells. He
has ordered hundreds ot houses to bo pulled
down, foul slums to bo demolished, and new
stroots to bo built while tbo very latest and
crowning proof of bis madness is a royal order
for tho commencement ot the systematic sani
tation of the Persian capital.
Dom Pedro, late ot Brazil, who arrived at St
Vincent to-day. is expected at Lisbon on
Wednesday, and the city is filling up with re
porters 'charged to Interview him. Portuguese
Republicans havo boon holding meetings and
passing resolutions of congratulation and
sympathy with the Brazilian revolutionists,
and they threaten a big demonstration In Lis
bon on the day of Dom Pedro's arrival. Bbould
they attempt to carry out the threat there will
probably bo bloodshed, and the chlofs of the
military and police foroes have received orders
to suppress demonstrations at all hazards.
Tho Tory demonstration at Nottingham has
been hold, and Lord Salisbury mado some half
dozen speeches. The only definite fact of im
portance obtainable from the moss of verbiage
Is that the Tories rely upon tbo House of Lords
to throw out the Home Rule bill when It shall
have been passed by the now House ot Com
mons. Tho threat has been made upon the
evootovory great Llboral reform movement
for fifty years past, and Its use by the Tory
leader now Is strong proof of the despondent
foeling prevailing among his followers. Tho
House of Lords has not infrequently resisted
the popular will, but it has invariably yielded
sooner or later whan confronted with the alter
native ot Its own abolition. .,
Mr. Gladstone is at Hawardefc. strong,
hearty, and full of enthusiasm. He starts on
his groat Manchester campaign on Monday,
preceded by a magazine article upon the bye
elections as full of confidence as Salisbury's
was of despondency. The Grand Old Man
points out In the Nineteenth Centurvihe truo Im
portance and significance of the electoral fig
ures, and leaves no doubt In tho minds of his
roaders tbat home rale would sweep tho coun
try hnd the Tories the courage to appeal to tho
constituencies. That Is the frame of mind la
which tbo Llboral leader starts upon his ora
torical campaign, and bo will find it reflected
in bis audloncos.
During the last few days Mr. Gladstone has
addod considerably to bis speaking engage
ments, and has consented to receive an address
from Llboral associations on route to Manches
ter. On Tuesday and Wednesday bo will ad-
drpfift i?rfint ranfla mnatfncm.
Sir Morell Mackenzie Is giving the Royal
College of Physicians and tiurgoons very bad
quartors of hours. Ho contributes to tbo De
cember Nineteenth Century an exhaustive arti
cle called " Tho Dreadful Revival of Leprosy."
in which bo goes for bis brethren of tho roya
Institution collectively and Individually. He
terms tbo commlttoe's report ot 1868 an ill
starred dooument which has done more
to propagate the disease than any other single
agency since the Crusades. Of this commit
tee he declares that only two members bad the
smallest practical acquaintance with loprosy,
ono of them. Dr. Owen Roes, having met one
caso, and the other, Dr, Galvln Mllroy, having
paid a hurried visit to Demarrara, where he
was egrcglously hoaxed even by dull-witted
leper Sir Morell supports all bis assertions
by abundant incidents, and thus sums up:
"The contagiousness of the disease was
never doubted till It had nearly died out Mon
ceased to believe In the contagion when they
no longer saw dally instances of It The whole
system of modlcal police, br which leprosy was
finally driven out of Europe, was based on the
notion that it was contagious, and no meas
ures not based on that prlnclplo bave over had
the slightest effect In checking its ravages.
The alarming spread of this loathsome post In
recent years Is. in my opinion, due to tho fact
that for some time the opposite doctrlno
gained the ascendancy and held captlvo the
minds of men. For this pernicious error and
for all tho disastrous consequences tbat havo
flowed and continue to flow from' it tbe Royal
College ot Physicians of London is chiefly re
sponsible." Sir Moroll's lecture bofore one of the most
critical audiences In Great Britain at the Phil
osophical Institution ot Edinburgh, which has
brought domands for bis appoaranco In nearly
every Important town in the United Kingdom,
did not deal tenderly with members of the
Royal Collego either. Sir Morell has received
many offers to lecture in America, one coming
from Lowell Institute. This morning he in
forms me that he is considering tho project of
an American tour seriously, but bos not yet
arrived at any final determination.
" La Tosca." a trifle modified to suit the pub
llo taste of London, is scoring a great success
at the Garrlck Theatre. Tbe tremendous
coup by which the adapters, F. C. Grove and
Henry Hamilton, have placated the British
matron is the expedient ol marrying Fiona
Totca to Count Oat aradoni. Instead of present
ing her as his mistress, thus creating a situa
tion whereby the horolno does not offend tbe
proprieties In taking a personal Interest In his
torture and death. Mrs. Bernard Boore, as La
Totca. ruse above all her previous efforts. 6be
renders the scene with 8oania, outside tbe
torture chamber, and the subsequent Inter
view In tbe castle, where tbe tyrant makes her
honor the price of her husband's life, with a
degree of power and pathos tbat has reminded
many ot tbe newspaper critics ot Bernhardt
while Forbes Robertson as Scarp la has
created a distinguished success. Not tbo
least Important featuio of tho English produc
tion ot Bardou's great drama Is the costuming.
Edwin Abbey designed every dress worn In
the play with all the historical accuracy and
fidelity to detail tbat have placed him first in
his branch of art. The costumes were con
structed under Abbey's personal supervision,
and it Is probable, therefore, that no play has
over been put upon the stago beforo that form
so perfect a picture of tbe time represented.
Abboy, by tho way, sails soon for America,
whero bo will spend tbo winter, his first ex
tended visit to his native country in eight

Stanley's records grow better as tbey pro
cood. There has boon much dull reading In
tho letters so far as tho advonturo-lovlng pub
llo is concorned, but some ot the later lottors.
Including those last notes of poor Lupton Bey,
who was done to death and wanted his frlonda
to know that he died game, form A touching
chapter in this latest history ot Afrloan ex
ploration. The call of Omar Ball to Emtn to
embrace Mohammedanism Is another interest
ing lncldont " Only believe," he Bays In offset
"and you will be saved; refuse to bellovo
and you will bo hacked to piocos In
this world and damned In the noxt" It Is
said Stanley has sold tho copyright ot his forth
coming work on the Emin rollet oxpedltlon tor
10,000. but this Is probably an exaggeration.
Tho present desire ot tho publishers Is to call
the book " How I Rellovod Emln." There Is
almost as groat a desire to get hold of Emln's
adventures as of Stanley's, but his reoords will
probably be published by a German house.
German newspapers are complaining that too
much Importance Is attached to Stanley's par
ticipation In tbo relief ot Emln Pasha, and
that tho Doctor gets too llttlo credit for his de
votion and heroism.
Boulanger has mado another mlstako.

There has been a big sale of autographs In

A very affecting tragedy has touched a good
many tender hearts In this metropolis this
woek. A poor clerk struggled along In the
suburb of Dalston with a wife and throo chil
dren, trying to keep up respectability on tbo
wages of a day laborer. The continued pinch
of poverty and ber struggles to koop up ap
pearances and make both ends meet so wore
upon tbe nerves of tho wife that sho ended tho
battle for life by murdering bor children and
committing suicide. The market for lower
class clerks In London is so overstocked that
tens of thousands are Idle, or are earning tbe
most precarious and inadequate living. They
havo no trades union and no society to help
them. Hundreds of middle-aged men would be
eager to do the work for less than 1 a week.
Tbe failure to bring off the fight between
Wonnopand Fallon is due to a combination ot
unforeseen circumstances. It was first flxod
to como oft at tbe Agricultural Hall tourna
ment but this meeting was abandoned In con
sequence of the polloe having refused tbolr
proteotlon to the promoters. Another rurso
was thon offered by Parson Davles. but somo
difficulty wob experienced la getting a suitable
meeting place, and finally the Brooklyn strong
boy cam to the conclusion tbat the small
stako of 95 to the winner was not worth wait
ing for. So he bos determined, after visiting
bis friends in Ireland, to roturn to tbe United
States.

" I have nothing whatever to say," said the
Colonel to The Bun reporter yesterday, " be
yond tbe statement that this Is a fight between
lawyers, and that It will bo fought to the bitter
end. I maintain that the Commission which
Is investigating the Dock Department had no
right to ask me what I did with the $13,000
which was received by me from the oystermen
for proper legal services. Any citizen had as
much right to put that question to me as tbe
Corporation Counsel, and any other citizen had
as much right to order me to answer It as tbe
Cbalrman of tbe Commission had."

this is not succosful. an application will be

the Grand Jury against tho Board of Electrical
control death by electricity on the street came
to an Eighth avenuo dry goods clerk last night
while ho was about ono of tbo most ordinary
of a clerk's dutlos. It was at tho dry goods
store of Bornard Callan. 075 Eighth avonue.
Eleven o'clock camo and time to close up.
Harry Harris, tbo clerk, a young follow of 'id.
wont out to the sidewalk to help carry in the
outside show case.
A clork named HnghOs was helping him.
Tho bIiow caso was about six feot high, and
heavily framed with iron, ntckol plated.
Hughes plckod up the end noaroBt the storo,
and Harris helped at tho outer sldo. The two
men woro joking ltb oach other and making
considerable ado over their task, as the show
case was very heavy.
Just abovo the show case hung an eleotrla
light Suddenly Harris moaned a llttlo. and set
his ond of the show case down on the sidewalk
as It to take a rost Ono hand grnspod the
lowor part of tbo metal framework, whllo tbo
other touched an Iron whloh strengthened the
frame.
"Ah. what's tho matter With you?" said
Hughes, as It disgusted with his holpor's lszt
noss. Thoro was no response, narrls slowly sank
to tho sidewalk.
" Ob, come on, and stop your fooling," con
tinued Hughos, still holding his end and
grunting a bit under his heavy load. "It you
don't got up and oarry your end I'll let the
Wholo thing drop."
By this tlmo ho began to seo that something
was wrong.
He set his end of tbe ease down and walked
to where Harris was crouched. Harris's eyes
Wero rolled slightly upward, but aside from
that there was nothing to Indicate tbat any
thing was wrong. Hughes took hold of bis arm
and shook him slightly. Then Harris foil lu a
heap on the sidewalk. Hughes grew very much
frightened and cried out:
nierel Help lor God's sake I Something,
terrible has happened cm Harris."
This brougnt tho clerks from the store, and
In a verr few minutes a orowd had gathered
about tho unfortunate man. An ambulanoe
was called. Tbe clerks, meanwhile, carried
Harris into tbe storo and laid him on e counter.
He was still alive, but bodied Inafewmtnutos.
The body wnB taken to the Forty-set enth street
station bouse. The bystunders at first refuhed
to bellovo that ho had d.ed by electricity, and
some one staited a story that Harris bad boon
murdered.
Harris had a wife and twochlldren. and lived
with them aud bis father at 85'J West Forty
fifth street Ho bad been in tbo store five
years.
Harris, It appears, was standing on an Iron
grating when he lifted the show case. Hughes
was Rtandina on tho flagstones. The metal
top Of tbo case struck tbe electric
light overhead, and tho deadly current
was grounded . ihrouuh Harris's body.
It wns a Brush light rentod to light tbe front of

A JEUHK1' CITY ELEVATED ROAD.
Argumenta (br and Acalnt the Proposed
Route to Jersey city Height.
The Jersey City Board of Aldermen heard
argumonts yesterday for and against the pas
sage of an ordinance allowing tho building of
an elevated railroad from the Central New
Jersoy ferry to Jersey City Heights. Lawyer
J nines B. Vreedenburg appeared for tbo citi
zens who oppose the building ot tbe road. He
is tho counsel of tbo Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, which owns tho Jersey City and
Bergen Street Car Railroad. Tho lattor road
at present has a monopoly of tbe passenger
trnfflo to Jorsoy City Holghts and tbe olevated
road would take a large part of their business
from them. Mr. Vreedonburg said a ma
jority of the residents of Jewett avonue,
the street turouub which tho road is to run,
wero opposed to the building of tho road.
Allan MoDermolt Chairman ot the Democratic
Btate Commlttoe. arguod for tbe road. Ho
said Its opponents all lived In two blocks. All
the other property owners in thelstreot favored
the building of tbe road.
He said tho company would guarantee to pay
all damages that might result from the build
ing of tho road within six months after tho

was an engineer on the Morris and Essex road
until ho lost his sight Yesterday morning he
nearly lost his life on tbo Broad street crossing
ot that road In Newark, and was saved only by
the herolo action of Gateman John Daly. A
train was coming down the steep grade from
High street. Daly did not obsene that Wlllett
was blind, and be rolsod his gates slightly to
let him through. After passing the first gate
Willett's acute oars caught the sound ofthe
approucblng train, and he stood as it paralyzed
and cried out:
"God help mel I cannot see."
Daly heard him, and springing, to his side
caught him and hurled him ueder tho gate
lust as the pilot of the engine struck him. Both
men fell, and It seemed for an instant that
Daly's legs were under the wheels, but he es
caped injury. Willett's right leg was badly In

RocuraTini, Nov. 00. Within two weeks n
dozen stores on what Is known as Main streot
brldgo.in the heartof the olty.have been entered
and more or leas property taken. Threo times
the pollco located tne burglar In some build
ing, and twice he escaped by what seemed to
be impossible foats of climbing and jumping.
The third tlmo bo escaped but dropped a scarf
pin, and this clue lod to bis arrest. His natno
is Albert rerlln. tit Is 20 roars ol ago, ot
small stature, lightly built with n
smooth face, no was formerly a resi
dent of this city. Special Follceman
Nled discovered a burglar in tho Whcelor A
Wilson office on the bridge on Wodnesday
night. He gave tho alarm, and the placo wns
Burroundod by a dozen pollcomcn. That tho
thiol was In the building was a certainty, but
bo could not be found, aud tho mystery was
whoro ho concealed hlmsolf. Whim he saw
that he was defeated ho walked from tho roar
of the Wheeler fc Wilson storo along a lodgo
not four Incbos wldo a dlstanoo of tttonty
or thirty fast A misstep would hae
been oertaln death, as ho would
havo fallen Into tbo river, which was ory
b&. Sa entered a roar window ol Storm's
clothing utere just In time to avoid ohsana
tjon. BeelLg the pollcomnn peering through
tbe front di ors of Storm's store, rerlln re
treated to Jho collar and remained tuoro all
Tbonksgljg Day. While waiting for dark
cess l'erlln took a suit of clothing ond left his
own garments In the cellar.
The way be. worked was as follows: Thsso
stores are all built oer tbo rivet-on tho bildgo
and havo on the rear ends rows of balconlos
for oaoh .floor. From tho main hall thoro Is a
smaller hall, which leads bark to tbe balcouloB.
The key to the, back doorhaegs lu the hull on n
nail, and rerlln claims that ho took it, unlock
ed the door, and reaching over tho transom
hung It back In lt proper placo. Ho
was then on the balcony or platform
over the river, on tbe second floor. Tho
balcony Is shut off at each end by
a closet whloh extends the entire height of
tbe building. He entered tbe closxt, shut tho
door, and out a hole In tbe floor with a nw and
ohlsel. Hers bo left bis onast, test, collar. ,lc.
He lowered himself through tbo bolo whloh he
bad cut to tbo roof ot tbo closot next below.
The roof was slanting, covered with snow, and
a misstep would havo precipitated him Into
the river: but ho jumped to the plutform. and
all was then plain sailing. Tho police say ho
Is tho sharpest burglar who ever worked here.
MURDER IN TUB SECOND DEOItEK
Hodsc, ha Wife Bfnrdernr, Convicted and
Sentenced to Frlaoa lor Lire,
Glens Falls, Nov. 80 The Harvey
Hodge murder trial at Bandr Hill came to a
conclusion this afternoon. At the opening of
court this morning Col B. W. Russell, one of
the attorneys for tho dofenco. addressed the
jury for two hours and twenty minutes In be
half of the prisoner, and endeavored to provo
that the testimony of medical exports proved
conclusively that Hodge was Insane. Dlstrlot
Attorney Hull spoke for one hour and fifteen
minutes.
One feature of tho case that attracted the at
tention ot members ot tho bar. doctors, and
newspaper men was the incontrovei table fnct
that the prlsonor was assuming insanity In tho
court room. From tho beginning ot tbo trial
to its close Hodgo beoamo worse and worse.
He would sit In his rhslr facing the Court, with
estnring expression on his face, contracting
is eiobrows und twitching norvously with bis
hands. At flr.-t be verted this by pretending to
ween, but close observers could not detect tbe
temblanco of a tear. While thoro woro doubts
of the rann s intelligence, there was no ques
tion of his sanity in the tulnds of persons
who knew him nell. Late last night Dr.
Jones of Fort Ldward was put on the
stand, and testified tbat he lmd watched
the prisoner In the court room while he was
indulging in these curious notions, and had
also watched him when he visited tho attor
ney's room In tbe renr, and at tbe times bo was
away from the prosencoot tbe jury he exhibit
ed nono of these symptoms or actions. The
phvHlolan also Bworo tbat during tho latter
part ot October h had visited tho prisoner
while in jail at Palem, and that Hodge then
told him he knew tbat he had killod his wife,
tbat be was sorry for It, ond expected to bo
made to answer for tbo crlmn, and at that time
tbe prisoner exhibited none of tho evidences
of Insanity which be now exhibits In court
Tbo Judge's charge was an hour lone, no
explained tho degrees of murder, and snld
that If the jury considered Hodge insane
tbey must acquit. The caso went to tbojuiy
at 3). P. M.. and In half an hour the jury II lod
into court and gave In their verdict of Mur
der In the seoond degree." The District At
torney then moved sentence, and Hodge was
sontencod to Dannemora titate prison for tho
term of his natural lite.

Tho distinguishing characteristic of yes

dlstriot was its placid serenity. Tammany's
iceman. Charles H. Turner, was known to bo
as good as eleoted when the polls openod, and
all of the bustling of the politicians did not
suffice to get out anywhere near tbe estimated
vote. It was 8.165. There were, nominally,
five other oandldatos, including McGlnty, who
maintained his record by going to the bottom
of the poll, but all together they did not get
votes enough to make a show against Turner.
The nominated candidates woro: George W.
Collier. MIcbaol nines, John J. Haley, and W.
U. D. Clark.
Candidate Turner drove through tbe district
behind a horse of gothlo architecture, just as
though he bad real business on hand. But his
plcnlo was nothing to that enjoyed by tho elec

shals did nothing. Nobody cat ad whether a

of their appointment was to give them a chance

the recent report of the condition ot affairs at
the Spring Valley coal mines, Mr. Scott de
nounced as a consclenceloss liar nonry G.
Lloyd, who Is responsible for tho report which
contained the statement that ho (Kcottl had re
fused to reemploy those who took a leading
part in the dlsiributloti or food during the
strike. Mr. Scott says he did not refuce em
ployment to any miner who was engaged in tho
strike; that when the men accepted the com
pauy's terms, which were more liberal as to
frlce than tho price paid at any other minei in
he Btate, more men slcnod contracts the fit bt
day than tbe company (.ould possibly put to
work, and miners have boon leaving other
mines lu tbe Rime and flocking to Spring Val

It was Intimated within a day ortwothat the

Indianapolis, Nov. 30 Tho recent rejec
tion of Oilier P. Morton's name and the sub

Tbo majority of tbe original members of tbo
club are anxious to join a now organization.
They declare openly that thoy will not any
longor contribute to tbe support ot tbo Farwell
organization. They say that tbe few mombers
who gathered on Tuesday night had
no authority to chango the name of
tbo club, and thereby place It In opposition to
the policy of Prewluent Harrison. However,
there are a great many disappointed ward
workers who endorso the action ol tbe club In
cbsnclnc Its name, and ther assert that thav
v. ill step to the front ana resuscitate tbo ex

Vlowed from all sides, tho quarrel in tho
party Is bocomlng Interesting. A great many
people are anxious to Bee whether the Harri

victorious. It Is tho arrangement now to call
a mooting some time noxt weok for the pur
