Holler came to this city from Lincoln county, Minn., and moved into a small building of Shanty town. The family was poor, and Mr. Bolter went to Hope, Idaho, where he hoped to secure work to provide' means for the support of his wife and seven children. Soon alter his departure the mother and all the children were stricken down with pneumonia, brought on by exposure and lack of the necessaries of life. The attention of the benevolent society was called to the condition of the family a few days ago, and, upon investigation, the relief com- mittee found the mother and her seven children in a single room 12x14 feet in size, with just enough food to keep body and-soul together. - The -mother and all the children were sick, and had it hot been for the . .. .. ■'■ • ■-"-"■-.," .V 1 : ' V kindness OF neoiibgbs; "'". ?"' almost as ; needy as themselves, must have perished for want of care. Kind ladies of -the relief committee at once began the work of rendering the condi tion of ? the suffers ."as -comfortable as ;. possible, but the ravages of disease and want had partly performed the terri ble work of death, and Friday after- - noon Hilda, the baby girl, two months of age, passed away. Yes- terday death again knocked at the door of the stricken family and Louise, a bright little girl of eight years, died. Half an hour afterward Christian, the ten-year-old boy, was a corpse, aud an hour and a half thereafter lnga, a girl two years old, slept the last long sleep beside her brother and sisters. It was the saddest scene ever witnessed in Spokane. One child was scarcely under ground, throe others were lying dead in ii little room and the dying, : '"■*''-■ BBOKEN-HEABTED MOTnEB and three remaining children were un- able to rise from their beds. The mother and surviving children were re- moved to the hospital, where sisters of charity will minister to their wants. Several other families in the same neighborhood are as much in need of assistance as the one mentioned. The ladies of the Benevolent society have been caring for these unfortunates of late, but their funds are almost exhausted and unless the citizens ccme to their re lief it is only a question of a short time when the noble work of this still no- bler band of ladies will be forced to cease for want of means. One of the I children taken to the hospital was very low to-night, and the attendant says it cannot live till morning. The mother and the other. two children were resting easy. DEMAND MORE MONEY.

Wilkksbabbe, Pa., Nov. 25.— The relatives of the Scranton victims of the Mud Run disaster and the relatives of the Pleasant Valley victims held a con- ference to-day at Pleasant Valley, and decided to demand from the Lehigh Valley Railroad company a sum much greater than that offered by the com pany for death losses. It is said that the . ultimatum of the railroad company was made yesterday, . when their agent offered $4,000 iv the cases of adult dead. This was refused. A further conference will held this week, and it will then be decided whether to go to law or not. A Boy Drowned. Special to the Globe.

HE DENOUNCES M, FERRY For Wasting the Country's Resources in Tonquin— Bright Is No Better. Pabis, Nov. 25.— M. Deroulede made a speech at a meeting of the Patriotic league to-day. He spoke in . warm praise of Gen. Boulanger. Referring to the recent accident to the Russian im perial train, he expressed sympathy w.th the czar, and rejoiced over his es cape from harm. The speech was greatly applauded, especially the refer- ences to Gen. Boulanger. The meeting was held in Leiuardelay's restaurant. Access to outsiders was barred by po- lice, who prevented a proposed public reception. The guests on arriving were merely greeted with shouts of "Vive Boulanger" and "A has FJoquet." A few arrests were made, but the proceed- ings were in the main orderly.At the con- elusion of the banquet which followed the meeting. Gen. Boulaneer made a speech, in which he said:. "I am more a patriot ? than a soldier. I : ardently desire peace— not peace which is de- manded, but peace imposed by a firm and dignified attitude. That is the only peace acceptable to French hearts." He inveighed against a policy which divided the forces of the country, caus- ing a misleading appearance of weak- ness— misleading the cause. The least appeal to the country would cause all dissension to vanish like a bad dream. He strongly denounced M. Ferry for wasting the country's resources in Ton quin while cognizant of the perils which threatened France. In conclud- ing, he appealed for energy on the part of the league of patriots, the _ solidarity of which was founded upon honor, dig- nity ami love for France. The depart ure of the guests passed off more quietly than did their arrival. There are Two of Them. London, Nov. 25.— A private per- son near Nottingham, has received a letter signed "Jack the Ripper's Pal," stating that the Whitechapel murders were committed by himself and the per- son calling himself "Jack the Ripper."

About 200,000: brick are yet to be laid, and the roof j is : to be put on before the present contract is completed. Owing to the: lack of funds the contract does not include the inside .finish, which; therefore, can not be done, until spring, or until after the legislature meets, in any case.

A Trip Abroad and a Home in Albany Will About Catch Albany Will About Catch Him. Him. Siieeial to the Globe. Buffalo, N. V., Nov. 2.".— "1t is all newspaper talk," said Mr. Wilson S. Bissell?to \ a reporter, referring to the statement telegraphed from Washing- ton that the old firm of Cleveland & Bissell would be revived after March 4 next, when Mr. Cleveland will become a private ' citizen, and that the two heavy men would locate in Newi'ork. Mr. Bissell has just returned from a visit to Washington, where he was the guest of the president. He found the president in the best of health. ' . "It is all newspaper talk," repeated Mr. Bissell, who was engaged with a client, adding: "There is no truth in it-" gPiJflw^TO "Do you think Mr. Cleveland will re- turn to Buffalo on the expiration of his term of office?" "I don't know anything about it." "What do you think about it?" "I know that Mr. Cleveland is busy on his forthcoming message to congress, and I don't believe he has given the subject a thought. That's all I know about it." v A prominent Democratic politician and a warm personal friend of Mr. Cleveland said : , "No, he won't come back to this town, and you can bet he'll settle in Albany. ;He was much smit ten with the state capital during his brief reign as governor, and made many good friends there, including Dr. Ward, with whom he spends his vacations in the Adirondacks. 1 think he'll retain his residence in Washington, and fluc tuate between the national capital and the state capital." "Cleveland is a rich . man,", said an- other ' intimate friend, "and it's my opinion that he'll loaf aronnd for a year or two, returning about the time of .the next Democratic national ' convention. Don't forget it, Cleveland is a bull dog, and will try to get the Democratic nom ination four years hence. He has saved at least §125,000 out of the four years' salary he has enjoyed as president, and it is safe to assert that his private . fort- une now exceeds $150,000. His wife, as you arc doubtless aware, recently in- herited a large slice of ah estate in Omaha and the West, and she is worth in her own right 1400,000 to .$500, - Grover's mother-in-law has about $100,000, and thus the president's fam ily can show up about $650,000. He can live comfortably on less than the amount I have estimated. But you can bet on it that he won't come back here. He doesn't know where Buffalo is. He was never fond of work, and I think he'll lead a life of leisure and pleasure hereafter. He is tend of attention; and will get more of it in New York and Washington than in Buffalo. No, he won't resume his citizenship here." A GLOOMY PROSPECT. Indications of a Wide-Spread Strike in the South. Houston, Tex., Nov. 25.— For several days past the Brotherhood of Locomo tive Engineers in this city has been in session. Its deliberations were kept en- tirely secret. It has leaked out that the engineers of the Southern Pacific com- pany have a grievance against J.J. Ryan, master mechanic of the road, and propose to take a firm stand against him. The " shop men working under Ryan are with him, it is said, and will stand by him. The brotherhood to-day appointed a committee, who left for New Orleans to-night, ■ to consult and arbitrate with the management of the road in reference to the matter. Things look decidedly squally, and it is thought by many that unless matters are speed- ily adjusted, a big strike, extending from the Gulf to the Pacific ocean, and the entire Southern Pacific system, will be inaugurated. "Looking for Loaves and Fishes." Special to the Globe. Bbaixebd, Nov. 25. The Repub ; licans are beginning to prepare for reaching out to take their share of the loaves and fishes out of the federal offices. As a beginner they have joined a Minneapolis movement of pressure on Gov.-elect Merriam for the appointment of S. W. Farnham, of Minneapolis, as surveyor general of logs. Another new * political move is in favor of C. B. Sleeper, lately defeated for the judge- ship. It contemplates, first, . the re moval here of the United States land office from St. Cloud, and Judge Sleep er's appointment to one of the offices. This is expected to be best reached by \ supporting Washburn for senator, which has already been begun here by all con cerned. On the Anxious Seat. Nashville, Term., Nov.* 25.— The state board of commissioners yesterday heard. the argument of attorneys for Creed F. Bates and H. C.Evans, parties to the Third congressional district con-; test. Both parties now demand the de- cision ou the face of the returns, the question - being narrowed down to "what properly, constitutes the re- turns.'.'

He does hot charge that .the or der has been used for the promotion of political interests,' but in campaigns, he says, the partisan zeal of - Republicans ; leads to social ostracism of ? Democrats in parts where the ' Republicans 7 are ■■ in the ?. majority." In 7 consequence, hey thinks' he.will withdraw from the order?.' himself, and will encourage other Dem- j ocrats to do so, but no j attempt will' be made to organize an independent G. A.

V" Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 25.— Rail- road officials claim that the backbone of the strike is now broken, and that r to morrow they will be moving their? trains with j considerable promptness. ? ■- Of course the roads are more or less block aded at this point, and it will be a day or two, at best, if at all, before the trains are moving with their usual reg ularity. Most of the roads were able on Saturday afternoon to pull > : out loaded cars which were on tracks in their city freight '.depots, and in their y place put - in r cars loaded with freight j for ; the , city. Most of the day .platform ; men were as work, and some switching was done in the yards without the men being molested. To-night the officials thought \it .voo'd be unwise to keep their switching crews in service except those needed to do the \ switching of passenger, trains, but the "understanding with the railroad officials generally is that business, will, to-mor- row, be resumed as usual. "■* This 13 ' M the official SIDE y- .. of the story, at the meetings of the switchmen to-day they seemed to have obtained assurances from engineers and jpremen that, made them more deter- mined. The engineers and firemen do not like the idea, it is said, of moving trains with the substitute switchmen "at work, and at their . meeting? this after noon, the matter . was . thoroughly? dis cussed, leading to a general expres sion that if there was no change to morrow on the part of the railway of ficials :i there 7 must be a stoppage of work in all the operative depart- ments. This is made important by? the fact, as it is given out, that the general ; officers of the Engineers' and Firemen's ' Brotherhood will be here to-morrow. One of the striker?, NY. A. Conklin' i has been arrested under a state law cover ing any interference with railway; busi- ness, and warrants are out for the ap prehension of others. This action, has incensed the switchmen and increased the sympathy of the other rail road em ployes for .them. The wholesale dis- charge of the strikers also threatens to make the trouble general.

Holden drove here ? from Morton in company with Dodge Friday. He registered at the Exchange hotel and retired about 9 o'clock.

Teemer Accused of Selling the Race to O'Connor. DECISION TO BE CONTESTED By James W. Sullivan, the Pittsburger ?.y'; Who Got His Fingers Badly Burned. * Special to the Globe. ■'.:.- ■-.-"■» Washington, Nov. 25.— There have been ugly rumors since the O'Connor-? Teemer boat race was decided yester- . day afternoon, to the effect that Teemer sold out. In an interview, Referee Elder said: "There have been some comments that the race was not an hon est one, but lam : satisfied that it was and cannot find any reason, for chang- ing my decision. I consider myself competent to judge of the character of the contest, and 1 am confident that the race was won fairly, and that O'Connor deserves" his victory. I regard- him as being a wonderful oarsman, and 1 think now that he can not only beat I any one : in this country, but that he can beat , anyone in the world." The men who had bet money on Teenier declare that Teemer could have beaten O'Connor if he had tried. 7 James W. Sullivan, the Pittsburg man, who had" increased the stakes ?to I $2,500, and . who had . made other wagers to the extent of $2,000 that 7 TEEMEB would win, has sent a formal .notice to each stake- holder not to pay over the money, as he proposed to contest the referee's de- cision. Mr. Sullivan also called on Re- feree Elder and stated that he regarded the race as being unfair, and requested that he withhold his decision in order that the matter might be investigated. Mr. Elder, however, replied that he was satisfied that the race was decided : on the I merits of the two men, but he was willing to hear any evidence to the con- trary which they might desire to pro- duce. Mr. Sullivan has already ; em- ployed Campbell Carrington as his at- torney, and it is likely that some trouble will be caused before the matter is end- cd. It should be borne in mind -that these complaints come from the losers. O'Connor and his friends deny that there was anything wrong about the race, and this is the feeling among dis- interested observers.'

WET OR DRY. The Saloon Men of Fargo Want s* * Little Light. V VV Special to the GloDe. Fargo, Dak., Nov. 25.— Immediately upon the defeat of the local option law in this county, the city council of Fargo drafted and adopted an ordinance regu lating the sale of liquors, fixing the li- cense at $1,000. Saturday last the chief of police notified parties selling to closo up Monday evening or take out license. To do this, application must bo made ia writing to the council and be published one week in the city organ, for which applicant must pay; also sureties for proper conduct of the business must ac- company application, the 7 penally of which is §500. During the time of the application and granting of . license ha liquors . can be 7 legally sold, hence the question,l will . saloon men close up 9 , It looks now as though a conflict of opinion on this point is liable . to make trouble, the fault being that the ordinance does not appear to be explicit enough in this particular.? Saloon men express themselves as willing and anx ious to . obey the law, but, as lawyers disagree, they know not which ..way- to turn, y It is hoped the next meeting of the city council, with its able attorney, will settle the matter and prevent auy litigation. 7- ••--_' -: ; -..•_■ -«- BISHOP FOLEY INSTALLED BISHOP FOLEY INSTALLED As .
