" Uncle Nathan" (ioff, as the good old man was reverently called, has passed away after a long and active Jife. He wae odo of that gallant band of Virginians who stood by the Union in the war time, before there was a West Virginia, and throw his influence on the right side. He amassed a large fortune, but his wealth was not the greater part of the sturdy old citizen who has gone to rest. Mr. Fjia*k Hatton, who as Postmaster General did what he could to defett Blaine, has been bopping on that chieftain and sneering at the "$20 a week reporters" who once in a while show a tender side for Blaine. Since he fed so high at the public crib Hatton has imbibed e J disgust for people who can't make mortthan $20 a week. But Hatton is fortunate ?wi>oi> a u-iml hlnwn tiff and Btronf? oil Lake Michigan he shelters himself undei h thimble and smiles at fate. Science notes that in Volume XIX of thr new edition of the Encyclopadia Britat- j nica the article "Polar regions" does great injustice to the American Lieutenant c i.oi-kwood, who died in the field of his explorations. Speaking of the work of Lock- ( wood the article says: "But all this re- i gion had been explored and exhaustive!} examined by the English expedition ol lS7o-7(J." In vjew of the fact that Lock wood reached the highest latitude evei reached by civilixad man faience declare* tiiat no explanation of this false statemen1 is possible, though in another volume th? publishers might well put on record "book disclaimer of this falsification of history.' However, in spite of the Britannica, "eur flag is still there." The serious feature of the Wood's Bun mintog trouble is, not that there is dis agreement between the operators and the miners, but that the strikers resort to brutal force to drive out of the mines those who wish to work.

In these days of enlighten- i xnent the right of labor to organise ia not denied by sane people, and trades unione are a fixed quantity in our industrial life. But other men have the same right not to organize, to work without any connection with trades unions, or to oppose one trades union with another. Non-unionists may be reasoned with, persuaded if possible, but there is no reason in the club and the revolver, and no community uan afford to tolnrato so great a relapse from civilized methods.

Taka a L?at Look At the F?o? of the Dtad-4 Very Mournful Sand*/, Indianapolis, Nov. 29.?Uniformed soldiers kept up their lonely watch all last night in front of the residence of the late Vice-President. Tho day dawned gloomily and tho gun was scarcely visible before curious people began congregating about the gateway. By 8 o'clock there were one thousand present, mostly working people and at 9 the crowd had increased to such proportions that it was found necessary for the police to keep a passage way clear for those whom duty called to the bouse. Mrs. Hendricks arose early and with the lamily and Dr. Jenckes, the rector of St. Paul's church, united in devotional . services. No callers were admitted except those who were to make the necessary arrangements for the removal of the body to the Court liouso. It lay in the darkened I parlor, the casket and floor around it be- , mg covered wild uorai ueslgos. un tue outside the crowd increased until it reached a block away from the house in each direction. All the streets down town were tilted with people, who hurriedahout searching for eligible locations to seo the procession, while the church and Are bells tept up a doleful tolling. The sidestreets were tilled with carriages and the usual religious observances ot the day were for Lhe greater part not attended. From the lamily residence to the Court House is a listance of about six squares, and the announcement that the line of march wot^d be along Washington street, the mam thoroughfare of the city, was bullicient to ?ause it to be crowded long before the profession formod. The street cars and other vehicles were unable to get through the :rowd,and ilnally, by order of the police, they were kept oft the street altogether. THE MA ltd I TO THE COl'RT 1I0USB. At 10:30 the local military companies, under command of Adjutant General Kuntz, and the Governor's staff formed inline, marched to the,Hendricks residence tnd were drawn up in Iiue In front of the 1 Site, the crowd pressing back in the bu'o \ itreeta. The hearse had preceded then}. r Co it were attached four black horse*, c n emblema of mourning, with black v plumes nodding from their heads, at t which stood uniformed soldiers. The L learse was covered with silken (lags, fee:ooned up with crape. Promptly at 11 /clock the burial casket was placed in t be hearae and the procession slowly moved towards the Court House. Its >rder was as follows: Metropolitan Po'lco Force in Full Dress L'nlforao, wearing crop on badges Mini arm?.

Tha various committees auJ citizens generally. All along Washington street the sidevalkB were lined with people, who with lifficulty were kept otf the streets. Tho vindows of various buildings were tilled. Every building along the line ot march vas heaviiy draped. \Vhen the procession teared the Court Houao it was (otjijd nee* ssary to stop for nearly ten minutes be/oro he way could be cleared for it to proceed, rhia building, a magnificent architectural ' tructure, presented a striking appearance. ARRIVAL AT Til* COL?$T ffOpjUt. The entire front was covered with black, md the marble columns encircled with itreamers of bbick and.white and tho na{r?nol nnlnra. Th? ontrami^a hfiflvilv e Iraped, qtul from the tower l|oated a flag ^ I half mast. Inside tke view was very im.- * josiug. Under the rotunda, directly in the ;entre of the building, stands the cata* c alque, a very elaborate structure. The ranopy of black silk and crape and silk lags is supported by four columns c vrapped with evergreens and crape. iielore the casket was taken from the learse the military companies anduolics 8 vere marched into the building, and were 3 itationed so ad to properly direct tho ex- i jected crowd. At 11 MO o clock the casket vas brought in and placed in tho cata- c alque, after which the floral offerings 8 ?ere arranged. At the head and foot li arge broken columns surmounted by ft ffhite doves and sheaves of rosebuds, imilax, ferns and carnations were placed. " Directly at the head of the collin a very f1 elaborate offering sent bv Patrick Egan. I President of the Irish Land League o: p \merica, was placed. It is live feet high a vith a circular top. the ground work be- d ng of ivy and smllax. On this is a large r larp of whito Mareechel Neil rosebuds, \ :alla lilies and hyacinthes. A bovo are the c words: "Erin Mourns Her Fearless Advocate," and at the base the following stanza: 'It 1? not the tear At thin moment ihod, vhiiii tbo culd lurf ha* bcon laid over him I but mu tell no# belovod wu tbe friend that has tied, 3r how deep In our hearts we deplore him." On the colli n there were placod a beautiful floral pillow of roses and smilax on which rests a broken gavel, the insignia jf ollice made of violets, and below that another pillow of white with the letter "H." in blue immortelles in thecenter. At tho foot was still another very elaborate design sent here by citizens of Madison u'ounty, being a column and white rosea And lilies arising from a bed of violets while another like design had on it. "at rest at last," Mr. Hendricks' last words. LYINU IK STATt. Many other floral offerings, elaborate and beautiful, were placed on the cat** falque. ?Only tUo kbust and face of the dead statesman were visible through the heavy plate glass. Tho body was arrayed in an evening dress of black broadcloth, high collar and white silk tie, and plain shirt front with gold studs. Tho ' loaiurei Were reiumtnuy uavu?i ?uu life-like, with the exception of a plight discoloration juat under the eyes. Theie was no look of pain or Buffering but rather Df quiet relief on the face. TlKWlNa TIIK REMAINS. The first to pasa through the catafalque &nd look upon the features with which in life they had been so familiar wore the various committees and organizations that participated in the parade. Among the drat were Mr. Hendricks' two nephews, Tom and Harry, the latter being the person who was with him just before his death and to whom he last spoke. The militia wereatationed in lineseztending the entire length of the corridor, and arrangements were made for the crowd to enter at the east end of the building and after viewing the remains, pass out the weat end, thore being two lines, one on each side of the coflin. At 11:45 the doori , were opened and the apparently endless procession bezan, while from a stand 1 aboYe, concealed by evergreena, came i the doleful straina of the funeral march, i The arrangements had been made so ] perfectly that there was neither confusion i nor delay, and the crowd passed quietly ] and orderly through the building. Those who had kept their places nearest to the I entrance by patiently standing there lor several hours, and who were consequently the first to get in were workingmtn, their wives and children carefully dressed, and hundreds of them wearing emblems of mourning. After them camo thousands of children, all quiet and well behaved, and seven organized societies in a body. More than 25,000 people passed through the building during the afternoon. Mrs. Hendricks having expressed a dosiro to visit the Court House where the body of her husband was lying in State, General Knufter this evening sent her a message, asking her to designate the time she would come so that the building might bo cleared. She named 9 o'clock. Mrs. Hendricks, Judge and Mrs. Holman, Hon. Joseph H. Rice and Mrs. V. H. Hendricks came in a carriage and were admitted by a private entrance. She bore herself with much composure, giving way to her emotions only once. She exnroHHefl mirnrise and ^ratification it the elaborateness of the drapery and floral display.

Snglish and other personal friends of Mr. c Iendricks have been in receipt of tele- n ;rann from prominent men at Washing- tl on and elsewhere, expressing the opinion hat it would bo unwise and injudicious 8< or Mr. Cleveland to leave Washington d inder tho present circumstances, even to Jj ittend tho funeral of the Vice-l'resident, .nd sueges ing that it would be a grace- M ul thing for Mrs. Hondrioks and her 0 riends to say to him in a dispatch that, tl vhile they woukrUa'gratitied at his at- n endance, his failure to come in (, he present condition of affairs ij vould not ha considered at all * lisrespectful. This feeling haa increased j rery noticeably in the last twenty c oar hours, and this evening messages f( fere sent signed by both M>s. Hendricks n ind Hon. Oacar B.

Chey declined to give these out fqr pqbli ation, saving that the delicacy ol thenatter and the fact that the decision restid alone with the President, made it jroper for the contents of the dispatches o bccomp jmbli> through him alone.

These statements havedoubtr s 388 arisen from misapprehension of the ?j lets of the treatment. Dr. W. C.

TronbU the Fluid I'aaud at a Social Gathering lo Kanawha Couaty. Oamapomlenet of (Ac InUllioeneer. Poci. Distkict, W. Va., Nov. 27.?Last Saturday evening there was a bloody cutting aiTrfty committed at the mouth of Martin's Branch, Kanawha county. Mr. Jack GotTs school closed on that day, and the teacher and neighbors of that vicinity set a big dinner on that occasion and invited everybody to come. Of course a groat many people wopt to partake of the good tiling that were in store for them. Everything went on nicely until after din- i ner. Not far from the school house is a little store kept by a man named Ad Roberts, and in that store he keeps what is known as "Stuart's Tonic Bitters," also ' some very good "jack le^" brandy, sell- i in# this abominable stuff withouta license. Some of the boys had taken on too much \ of the so called "bitters" and kicked up ( a general row. It came about in this way. c K ti. Crane made mention that his horse , could outrun Burl Asburry's home. As- t hurry remarked, "You are a d? liar." . Immediately Asburry, his brother, and J two of the Bailey boys made a rush at t Crane with knives drawn. Crane kuocked E two of them down with his fists, and H fought the four men like a lion, having j nothing to defend himself with but his j, lists. Friends separated them at last, but p not until the gallant Crane was cut in [, many places, one deep cut in the back j 15 inches long, one stab in the breast and p one on the head. His Bhirt collar was cat \ in two twice, scratching his skin slightly. ^ His left arm is cut and hacked in many 2 places, the muscle of the arm being cut equare in two. None of the parties nave been arrested as jet. It is nothing un- T common here in Kanawha to see a man shot down or cut all to pieccs. It ba? been done recently in tha city of Charleston, the capital of the State. a o MININU SITUATION b la th? Slonon|tbil?

The recruiting parties st were notified to proceed no further. The workmen in ths fourth pool are intimidated, and none of them made the at- to tempt to go to work to-day. They all, however, have promised to resume on 0 Monday under the protection of the ofli- _ cers. At Pino Run, in Pool No. 2, about one hundred strikers gathered about the mines and tried to indnce the workmen to quit w work. A brass band accompanied them; x insulting remarks were made to the non- .. unionists, but no violence was attempted. . Kobert McUlure, of the Iron and Uoal Police, is in the city.

In this line it has been the most inactive week of the season. Commission houses at Eastern centres have not been doing much, ind jobbers less. The movement of grocery staples has jecn disappointing, with weak sugar and offee markets. IJairy products are still lepressed with small export demand. The vbeat market has declined almost steadily luring the week. Causes for this are compiled in the stubborn refusal of foreignirs to purchase more freely in this market, he increase receipts at Western primary aarkots and steady increases in the visible upply. Flour has been weak and lower n sympathy with wheat. Hog products lave been quite irregular, but, as com* iared with last week, are higher.

A review of the Bales, as gathered from ie different houses, shows that, of the ools sold, a larger part was of territory, bile several large transactions in Texas, ne moniana ana oiuer medium grauefl ere made. The (act that so much of tho ooIh sold was for speculation made it imosaible to get prices on moat of the large anaactions, which were generally reorted without any price being given, ao is a difficult matter to ascertain if any ;tual advance has been obtained. Of the other gradea of wool the general tuation haa been withoutraaterial change, ade generally ruling quiet, with prices rm. In some extreme casea fine Ohio secea have been sold at full figures, one it of 110,000 lbs being reported at 27a37c, hich takes in the low grades along with ie very choicest.
