IlAVEKini.T, Mass., April 10. Evan
gelist C. F. Huberts, colored preacher at
tbu Mission tabernacle, has created a
great sensation here by bringing home a
handsome young white woman as his
wife. They were married in Xew York
by the Rev. Mr. Kerwell. She was Miss
Abbott, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ab
bott, or Putinan, Conn., and is evidently
in love with her husband. She presided
at the organ at the meeting last evening
and the large audience saw before them
a slight built and handsome woman,
25 yean old. She had a
pretty face, sparkling eyes and an
abundance of light curly hair. She wore
a becoming tailor-made black gown and
a sealskin sacque. On her head was a
bewitching specimen of the milliner's
art. She played with much expression
and sang sweetly several solos. After
the service she met her husband's par
fshoners and greeted them kindlv. Mr.
Roberts i a tall, haudsouie colored man,
who claims to be part Spanish and part
negro. lie came to this city Miveral
months ago, and at first was an active
worker In the Grace Methodist church.
He preached the holiness doctrine, and
so strongly did he advocate it that the
society decided thbt it would net be pol
icy to let him continue. He afterwards
opened a tabernacle on Pleasant street,
and there preached the holiness doc
trine to large congregations.
AN EPOCH-MAKING EVENT.
A K a-alar Claaa or Woman Law GradoaUa
to 8 Dlploaaaad To-XIght.
New Yohk, Anril 10. There will be
what the Germans would call an epoch
making ecnt at the music hall, at Sev
enth avenue and Seventy-first street,
this evening. Thirteen women, who
who have been studying law asa regular
class attached to the unierity of the
city of New York, will hold graduating
exercises, and will receive certificates
from Vice Chancellor McCrackru. of the
university. This means that for the
firt time a class of women has studied
law in a university. When last summer
the Woman's League Educational soci
ety was organized and tried to get some
college or university in this city to take
up a woman's law class, it had a hard
time. The colleges and univeritics
looked co!dly upon such an innovation.
But at last Dr. McCracken was inter
ested in the scheme, and the University
of New York took the responMbility of
the class, and announced it a regular
part of the university. The course
which these women have taken has cov
ered the entire elementary ground work,
of law, and has also gone into many of
the higher branches. Late Thursday
afternoon the examinations were held.
The examining committee was Noah
Davis, Vice-Chancellor McCracken and
Mr. Rudolph Dulon. The class was
questioned with great closeness, the ex
amination being as rigid as that through
which the ordinary candidate for admis
sion to the bar is put. When it was fin
ished, and the twelve who had presented
themselves were passed, ex-Judge Davis
made a long speech. Among other
things he said:
I h e examined many young men for a J
iiion to the bar. and I mutt say that I
hate never seen anjrtlnc like the intelll
genre and knowledge of the law which this
clas has displayed.
A FAMILY DISPUTE
Tka Twla Dakataa la tka Coart oa a Th

BtsuARCK. N. D., April 10. A case
that will be of interest to the people of
North Dakota will come up in the dis
trict court here on Saturday. Several
hail insurance companies were organized
under territorial laws, but they all went
out of business except the ones located
In South Dakota. It was a question last
year whether they still had a right to do
business in the state under the old law,
but as the transfer of ail affairs of both
the new states from territorial govern
ment to that' of statehood gave a
good reason to allow these com
panies to take a year to clean up
their business of the past, and then
reincorporate under the state law
the Insurance commissioner felt justified
in allowing them to continue the year
out. The companies still doing business
are the Dakota Hail and tlie Alliance
Hail, both located in South Dakota.
The insurance commissioner of North
Dakota issued a license this year to the
Dakota Hail, but under the decision of
the attorney-general he revoked it, and
now this company asks for a mandamus
to compel the commissioner to reissue
the license and thereby permit it to con
tinue business. The decision in this case
will be an important one, for if the com
pany should gain it any mutual hail in
surance company, whether incorporated
in this state or not, can come Into the'
state and do business.

Pittsburg, April 10. The inter-state
convention of miners and operators cam.'
to an inharmonious end suddenly last
evening. After a fierce battle of words
and opinions further talk was declared
profitless and adjournment made sine
die. This action means practically that
the inter-state agreement has been abol
ished and the amicable and harmonious
relations that have existed between the
two classes for the past five years are
broken off and may not be resumed. It
also means that 85,000 mine workers In
the Ohio and Pennsylvania regions will
quit work the 1st of May, affecting 500,
000 persons directly and hundreds of
thousands indirectly. As the mine
workers of the country will also demand
an eight-hour day, continuation or work
after May 1 now seems almost impossi
ble. The two great organizations, the
Knights of Labor and the Federation of
Labor, are backof the men and their
money will be at their disposal.
W. P. Rend, of Chicago, was the only
one of the operators favoring the eight
hour day. The others said In substance
that they could not stand it; that the
cost of production would be increased by
it, etc After the adjournment of the
conference the miners held a meeting
and decided to demand an advance on
May 1 equivalent to 10 cents per ton on
the basis of the eight-hour day, failing
in which a strike will follow.

Wilkesbarre, Pa., April 10. A seri

fire brigade was extinguishing A fire
when Mitchell Duffey, of Edwardsville,
forced his way inside the lines. The
firemen turned the hose on him. where
upon a number of Edwardsville men
took a hand, and in a short time twenty
five men were fighting with stones,
clubs, wrenches and everything that
could be found. The police came to the
rescue of the firemen and reinforcements
arrived from Edwardsville. Business
men along Main street then came to tho
assistance of the policemen and firemen.
After an hour's fight Edwardsville was
put to rout, no less than twenty men
having been badly injured on each side.
Broken heads, noses and limbs kept the
doctors of both towns busy for hours,
and it Is thought two or three will die.

New York, April 10. To-day the New
York World published a cablegram from
Rio Janeiro to the effect that the reci
procity treaty is not likely to be ratified,
that Brazil's mercantile community
strongly opposes the scheme, and that
the treaty will be rejected. This cable
gram in no way reflects the sentiments
of Brazilian merchants. Mr. Charles R.
Flint, or Flint Jk Co., said to-day:
There Is no organized opposition to the
reciprocity treaty. On the contrary, there
is a strong feeling In faror of it. The own
ers of the flour mills In Itlo de Janeiro the
mills are owned principally by the English
are opposed to the free admission of Hour.
In no other quarter are objections made.
Now that the conditions are understood the
treaty is looked upon favorably and hope
fully. The merchants of Brazil want It,
and recognize the fact that It will quad
ruple the South American trade.

St. Joseph, Mo., April 10. Yester
day Mrs. Fannie Kendall caused the ar
rest of F. M. Atkinson, claiming that he
was her husband, who had deserted her
in November last, and that the name At
kinson was assumed. Atkinson, when
arrested, was living with his wife, wnoia
he married three years ago. Mrs. Ken
dal, however, positively identified him as
her husband, but said that her husbaud
wore no beard at the time he left her.
To-day the officers caused the man's
beard to be removed, whereupon Mrs.
Kendall discovered that she had been
mistaken. Atkinson was released from
jail, and Mrs. Kendall was taken with a
fit or hysteria, which threatens serious
results.

ENLARGED THE PARK
PRES. HARRISON ADDS TERRI

WASHntOTOK, D. C April 7. Preal
deat Harrison has done something by
executive proclamation that was made
Impossible ia the last congress by the
selfish oppositioa of a few speculators.
He has taken under the protection of
the general government a large section
of land adjacent to the Yellowstone
National park. There was approved
March 3 a long bill repealing the Umber
cutting act and Sec 24 authorized the
president to set aside In states or terri
tories having public land bearing timber
tracts of lands as reserved, and within
the reserved limits no settlers aroto be
allowed to come to build or to cut tim
ber. The friends of the extension of
the Yellowstone park, having, read this
bill and finding that It offered a way to
preserve the valuable forest at the head
waters of the Wind river and the Snake
river beyond the present east and south
boundaries of the park In Wyoming,
concluded to direct the attention of the
authorities to the power offered to them.
Prof. Arnold Hague, of the geological
survey, laid the matter before Secretary
Noble, with maps and other Information,
and Mr Noble readily agreed to his sug
gestion that the president be asked to
proclaim the desired extension. This the
president has done. This proclamation
adds to the east side of the park a strip
about twenty miles wide and a wider
trip on the south extending; over the
great Rocky Mountain divide as far west
as the line of the state of Idaho. There
are large forest tracts in the territory
added to the park on the south, and If
the powers of Capt. Anderson, who has
command of the military police in the
park, are extended over the added sec
Jon, the forest will be protected from
the woodchopper as well as the hunter,
and If the water supply Is maintained by
protecting the forests the great rivers
rising In tbe reserved section will be
kept in almost their present condition
and remain conservers of the water
started In the mountains.

Superintendent Porter has made pub
lic the result of a special count by races
or the state of California. The object
of this special count Is to separata the
Chinese and Indians from the rest of the
population, as required by the laws or
that state, for purposes of state appor
tionment. The following table shows
the population of the entire state by
races In 1890 and 1880:
1800 1880
White 1,111.558 767,181
Colored 11.437 6,018
Chinese 71,681 75.132
Japanese. ................ 1,099 66
Indians 18.355 12.277
ToUls 1,209.130 8C4.694
This shows that the Chinese pop
ulation has decreased but little In conse
quence of the prohibitory laws of con
gress passed several years ago. Stil
they have dropped down some.
Worklaga of tka Lattery Law.
Wabhixgtox, April 7. "Tho lottery
law," said Judge Tyner, of tho postoffiee
department, "is now working smoothly.
There is a slight falling off In the letters
of inquiry concerning the law, and I
take it the people have come to under
stand it thoroughly. There are more or
less prosecutions arising under the law
all the time. In a number of cases the
parties charged with violation of the law
are allowed to plead guilty and I sup
pose the courts Impose nominal sen
tences. There is a certain class or peo
ple who violate the law without any in
tention of doing so, and tbe cases against
that class of people are not pushed. I
have no knowledge of the extent the lot
tery people have been hurt, but I should
say the lottery business has fallen off
one-half. The lottery company uses the
express companies to a largo extent,but I
suppose a great many letters are trans
mitted through the mails without being
detected."
"Are not the express companies liable
under the law for handling lottery busi
ness?" "That's the questlonj suppose it will
ba raised sooner or later, but the depart
ment will be la no hurry about it.
There are three or four express com
pauiea that a case might be made
against under the section of carrying
mail, but it will be only a question sf
time when the issue will be made."

Sasta Fe, N. M., April 7. The de
tails of the Sunday tragedy at White
Oaks, New Mexico, only reached here to
day, the affair being a double suicide la
which two handsome young women,
formerly of Liberty, were the actors.
Some two years ago Miss Portia Hill
came from Liberty to serve as governess
in the family of Mrs. Ells. At the end
of a year she married Mr. Howard Doyle,
a brother of Mrs. Ells, and a promi
nent ranchman. On their bridal tour
they met an old friend of the bride.
Miss Jessie Ridgely, who replaced Mrs.
Doyle as governess in the Ells home.
Last Sunday Mrs. Doyle came on to
visit Miss Ridgely and the two were seen
in a long conversation at various times
of tho day and seemed to be avoiding the
other members of the family. In the
afternoon they went for a walk, aud In
an old corral near by their dead bodies
were discovered aa hour later. Over
each heart there was a bullet hole.
They were clasped in each other's arms,
and between them was a revolver. No
reason Is known for the deed.

BARNUM IS DEAD.
Old Saewmea'a Vitality Literally
lUa Dawa-A Brief BUaiapfcy.
Bridgeport, Conn., April 8. The
great showman, P. T. Barnum, died at
6:22 o'clock last evening in the presence
of his grief-stricken family. During the
period of Barnum's invalidism and con
finement to the house, which began
twenty-one weeks ago last Friday, there
have been frequent fluctuations In his
condition, from each or which he rallied,
although In each instance with slightly
lowered vitality. Tho change for the
worse, which occurred last night, how
ever, was so pronounced that It con
vinced the physicians that the patient
had not many m"ro hours to live. When
the end finally came it was peaceful and
to all appearances painless. The physi
cians say Barnum had no organic disease
whatever, the enfeebled heart action,
which had been apparent for the past
three months, being due to a gradual
failure of his general vital powers, re
sulting from old age. In a general way
Barnum prescribed the directions for his
funeral. He wished It to be of a private
character aud unostentatious.
Phlneas Taylor Barnum was born In
Iteihel. Conn.. July 5. 1810. Ills father was
nu Inn keeper and country merchant who
died In 1825. leaving no property, und from
the ace of 13 to 18 the son was In business
In various places, part of the time In
Brooklyn and New York city. Ills early
but!ues ventures were unsuccessful. After
his marriage In 1829 he established a weekly
paper called the IltraUl of Freedom, aud for
the fne epres-Io.i of his opinions he was
imprisoned sixty days for libel. In 1834 he
removed to New ork, and on u visit to
Philadelphia raw on exhibition a slave wo
man adertled as the nurse of George
Washington, 161 ears old. Her owner ex
hibited an anclent-looklng,. time-colored
bill of sale dated 1727. Mr. Barnum bought
her forSI.003. adertlMd her extensively,
aud his receipts soon reached $1,500 a week.
Wltlilu a year the woman, Joyce Heth. died.
Having thus acquired a taste for the show
business. however, Barnum traveled
through the south with small
shows, mostly unsuccessful. In
1841. although without a dollar of bis own.
he bought Scudder's American museum,
named It Barnum's museum, and by adding
novel curiosities and advertising freely, he
was able to pay for It the Urst year, und In
1848 he added to it two other extensive col
lections, besides several minor ones. In
1842 he first heard of Charles S. Stratton. of
Bridgeport, Conn,, then less than two feet
high aud welghiug only sixteen pounds, who
soon became known to the world as Gen.
Tom. Thumb. In 1841 he engaged Jenny
Llud to sing In America and made great
profit on her engagement. In 1855 he re
tired to an oriental villa In Bridgeport and
devoted himself to building up the city by
the expenditure of large sums of money. In
1856, In order to secure one manufactory, be
indorsed the company's notes for $1,000,000,
and his fortune was wiped out. But he
started out with Tom Thumb again und lec
tured In England and soon he was again In
charge of his old New York museum. July
13. 18C5, it was burned. Another wnlch he
built was also burned. In lt7l he estab
lished his great traveling museum and
menagerie, which made him famous aud
rich. Mr. Baruum was four times a mem
Iter of the Connecticut legislature, and
mayor of Bridgeport.
EDMUNDS STEPS DOWN.
The Sanlor Tanaaat Senator Files His
Baslgaatloa.
Wasiungtox, April 8. Senator Geo.
F. Edmunds, of Vermont, who has been
in the senate of the United States since
April, 1860, and nearly, if not quite all,
of that time has been one of the repub
lican leaders, has resigned, to take effect
the 1st of November next. In his letter
to the governor he says:
In thus terminating my official relations
with tho state. I beg to express to her stead
fast. Intelligent and patriotic citizens my
profound gratitude for the long and unwav
ering confidence and support they have
given me, covering a period of a quarter of
a century, in my efforts to promote and de
fend, so far as I have been able, their honor
und welfare in common with that of all the
people of the United States.
In ceasing to bo a senator I am proud
that 1 continue to be a citlten of our !
loved commonwealth, and that I may. with
my fellow citizens In private life, continue
to strive for the maintenance of those prin

The senator also sent a letter of noti
fication to Vice-President Morton.
It Surprised tka Veraioaters A Saeeeseer
St. Albaxs, Vt. April 8. The resig
nation of Senator Edmunds was unex
pected in Vermont and was a surprise
to his constituents. The appointment
or his successor devolves on Gov. Page,
as the legislature Is not In session. Tho
candidates are Secretary or War Proctor,
Congressman Powers and ex-Gov. Smith.
Bis Views oa tka Alliance ta Polities.
Senator Edmunds, discussing the pres
ent political situation, is quoted as say
ing: I think It is in one sense of extraordinary
Importance, as applied to one aspect of
affairs namely: the Farmers' alliance
subject. It Is In Its present forma new ex
periment In this country, but not an un
natural one- Some people are trying to
persaude the farmers of the country, who
always have been and always will be the
most useful and Important fraction of the
community, that lawn have been made
which would or should furnish them a more
rapid and steady prosperity. In both those
cases. I think, they are In a large degree
mistaken, and In due time they will dis
cover it.
I don't think there Is any danger to the
democratic party, for in the next presi
dential election. If the Farmers alliance
should carry many states without bavin? a
majority of the whole electoral college, the
simple result would be that there would be
no election by the people, and the present
house of representatives, having a large
democratic majority of states as well as
members, would elect the democratic can
didate in a constitutional and regular way.
although be may have carried the smallest
number of states. As to the danger of the
republican party. It Is that the Farmers
alliance may carry In the next presidential
election some states that would otherwise
vote for the republican candidate, and
thus give the election to tho democratic
candidate by the house of representatives.
I den't think silver will be an issue be
tween the republican and democratic part
ies in the next election, for I think that tbe
democratic party will hardly wish to make
the silver question an issue to the extent of
running any considerable risk of separating
gold and t-Ilver as the coin money of the
country, aud certainly tbe great body of
the republican party will not.
NAMED IN HIS WILL.
Skara Atactica oa tke Buckeyes by
Bagas Barea.
Detroit, Mich., April 8. The baron,
Herman Huer, who recently disappeared
from Detroit, has evidently been resur
rected in tho person of Baron Kirk
Beckley, at Springfield, O. Baron Huer
operated here quite recently. He posed
a a land proprietor-from Germany.
His method was quite novel. One day
he sent for Judge Dewey aud re
quested him to draw up a will,
as he was about to submit to an opera
tion which he hardly expected to sur
vive. The baron instructed Judge
Dewey as to the disposition of some
$300,000 in money, besides vast quantities
or other property.' Most or the benefi
ciaries were residents of this city. Upon
a young lady, whom the baron feel
ingly referred to as his betrothed, ha
conferred the title of baroness. When
tho time came to sign the will the baron
disappeared. It then came out that oa
thu strength of his bequesU be had bor
rowed money from all those aamed la
taewlU aad eosae had been swindled hi

BHUTkat Failed.
The most noted measure that camo be
fore the legislature during its session,
and the one which consumed the most
time of any one bill before cither house,
was the Newberry maximum rate bill,
which, after passing both houses, was
vetoed by Gov. Boyd, passed over his
veto in the house, but failed to receiye a
sufficient vote In the senate to become a
law.
The legislature also adjourned without
agreeing upon tho congressional afpo
tionment bill.
LEFT WORK UNDONE.
A Special Seeelaa af tke Nebraska Leals
latere PraaaMe Its Occasion.
Lincoln, April 6. Governor Boyd has
stated that he would probably call an
extra session of the legislature within
the next thirty days to pass a represen
tative and senatorial appropriation bill.
The Olson measure on this subject,
which passed the house, was unsatisfac
tory to tho senators of all patties, and
was accordingly killed on tho last day.
In the proposed session there will
be hair a dozen bills on the subject.
Among these will be one by Senator
Stevens, who groups thirty-six counties
in the western and northwestern part of
the state into one congressional district.
The congressman from that district is
to be a man who must make a specialty
of irrigation and the need of it in that
section or the country
Senator Collins will also introduce a
bill which will so divide the state as to
give each district an average population
or 173,000. He claims that the counties
are contiguous as required by law. and
that the railroads run through the mid
dle of each district.
Some people here doubt the legality
of the call for a special session on tbe
ground that the constitution requires
the appointment to be made at the first
regular session of the legislature after
enumeration. The best informed peo
ple, however, hold that the courts would
sustain a special session, especially as
the legislature made an attempt to com
ply with the law before adjournment.
Btata Brevities.
Elizabeth Casper, or York, has been
allowed 8550 for caring for her rather
and mother for a period or twenty-six
years. She sued for 82,201.
The 8-year-old son or Samuel
Polowsky, or Lincoln, attempted to

DUNN'S REPORT.
It Is Not Very Favorable for tka Fast
'Week.
Nkw York, April 4. R. G. Dunn fc
Co's. weekly review of trado says:
Tho actualc onditlon of business
does not Improve, however
hopeful tho anticipations war
ranted. The interests of property in
many forms arc for tho time affected
and meanwhile the usual demand for
moi.ey in April has niado tho markets
closer, though relaxation is expected.
Nearly all the Interior money markets
arc nu lot and comparatively easy.
Omaha and Cincinnati note a little close
ness and there is a good demand at Chi
cago and Cleveland. Tlio collections
are quite generally slow and unsatisfac
tory, improvement beins noted hardly
anywhere, but thu state of tho roads is
usually recognized as a prominent
cause.
The failures for tho first quarter of
1S31 have been 3,543. against 3,223 last
year, aud tho liabilities have been 42,
17.63I, against S37,3.2,9CS last year in
the United States but mora than the en
tire increase both in number and liabili
ties appears In the southern states alone.
Tho eastern and middle states report
fewer failures and smaller liabilities than
Iat year, but the western states report
nearly as much increase. In Canada tho
number has been 575, against 635 last
ear, but the liabilities were 50,003,234,
against $.",52t,34l last year.
Trade at Boston has been qulot. The
movement of men's woolens is unsatis
factory. Philadelphia notes slow col
lections in most lines. Pittsburg notes
no important change, and Cleveland
only fair trade, with Cincinnati. Louis
ville, St. Louis and Kansas City in tho
same condition. At Peoria the local
trade is below List year's and collections
are very dull, but makers and jobbers of
implements noto excellent prospects,
with sales exceeding last year's and fair
prospects.
Chicago observes an increase over last
year in the receipts of grain and cheese
and 50 per cent in wool; no change in
cured meats and hides, and decreaso In
flour, lard, butter, and 50 per cent in
dressed beef. Merchandise moved tnoro
slowly than a few weeks ago on account
of bad roads.
Memphis finds trade not yet near the
normal, but at Atlanta It is Improving
and at New Orleans, where sugar Is ac
tive at lower prices, ryo scarco and cot
ton qniet. Bad weather affects the trado
at Montgomery, and at Jacksonville
there are fears of a disastrous spring
and summer trade.
Iron docs not mend at all, for in the
confidence that strikes will soon end
consumers are waiting. Tho lowest
prices on record are maiioby some works
for bar iron, and structural moves
slowly, whilo wrought pipe Is terribly
demoralized. Pig iron is duller than for
years and buyers generally hold off as to
rails, disliking to help tho combination.
Coal Is flat, tho official price being
about 15 cents above last year, but with
some cutting. A better tone is seen In
copper, and speculation has advanced
tin and lead a shade.
Tho woolen manufacturer is doing
fairly, but reports from the west are
that growers look for higher prices on
the new clip or wool, which tho present
market for goods docs not warrant.
Tho boot and shoe trado is dull. The
rubber speculators havo put new para
at 00 cents, and tho syndicate claims to
hold 2,500 tons, the world's consumption
being called 1,500 tons monthly.
Speculation in brearituffs does not
abate and with sales of 33,000,000 bush
els here wheat is IK cents higher than
a week ago. Corn Is a shade lower and
oats unchanged, but pork is 50 cents per
barrel higher and lard li cent per
pound.;
Cotton has not changed, and trading is
light. Coffee is an eighth stronger, and
oil three-eighths, with small sales.
The average of all prices Is a shade
lower than a week ago.
Eastbound shipments from Chicago
for three weeks show a decrease, com
pared with last year, of 19 per cent.,
and the Atlantic export of wheat, flour
and corn are much smaller, but the
domestic trado of tho country, repre
sented by bank exchanges, continues
closo to that of last year, because of tho
largo advance in tho prices or important
farm products.
The business failures occurring
throughout tho country during tho last
seven days number 243, as compared
with a total or 256 last week. For the
corresponding week last year the figures
were 206.
Tka Weekly Bank Statement.
New Yokk, April 4. Tho weekly
bank statement shows a rcservo decreaso
or $2,052,000. The. banks now hold S6,
110,000 in excess or legal requirements.
THE MINES EXHAUSTED.
Two Famous Iron Mines In Missouri Boa
Out To fie Foreclose!.
St. Locis, Mo., April 4. Tho Farm
ers' Loan and Trust company, or New
York, is about to protect bondholders by
foreclosing mortgages to the amount or
S2.COO.000 on the property of tho St.
Touis Oro and Steel company. These
are C per cent, bonds, Sl.000,000 on tho
Pilot Knob mine, Sl.000,000 in tho Vul
can Iron works and SOMO.OOO in tho coal
mines at Grand Tour and Carbondalo,
III. Interest on theso has been de
faulted since July. 1890, when E. A.
Hitchcock was appointed receiver. Tho
failure was directly due to tho exhaust
ing of the ore body, tho diamond drill
after penetrating to a depth of 500 feet
failing to reveal any iron ores that could
be profitably worked. Pilot Knob and
Iron Mountain arc two of tho most
famous mines in I he world, and tho
supply of iron was once supposed to be
inexhaustible. The Pilot Knob mine
first began yielding In 1816, aud in 1334,
at its zenith, it yielded 200.000 tons. In
1396 the vein gave out.
IrUb-Am-rlcant Against IarneU.
St. Louis, April 4. Dr. Thomas
O'Reilly, of this city, a member of tho
executive council of the Irish National
league, has received a letter from Mr.
Fitzgerald, president of the league, an
nouncing that he has called a meeting
of the executive council to bo held In
Cincinnati April 0 to discuss the ques
tion and take action in regard to Indors
ing Parnell. Dr. O'Reilly has written a
letter to Fitzgerald in which he takes a
decided stand In opposition to Parnell,
and says that Fitzgerald will meet with
opposition in the council, as most of its
members are adverso to Parnell, and ho
advises all the friends of Ireland not to
contribute a dollar to the I'arcellitcs, as
It will be used only to continue the dis
graceful scenes now being enacted in
Ireland by that faction.
