aged l6, who shot herself, Thursday,
died yesterday in Bellevue Hospital.

seduced by man named George Reed,
under promise CT marriage, and being
deserted by him, resolved to kill her
self better than to be disgraced.
The little ship City of Ragosa, cleared
yesterday for her voyage across the
Atlantic.
A special from Scranton last night
says: There has been no disturbance
to-day. The laborers employed at
Briggs breaker, headed by their en-
ployer, NJ. w, Scranton, marched in
a body armed with rifles and guarded
by soldiers to the shaft this morning
and after their days work returned in
the same imposing manner No vio-
lence was offered them, nor were they
insulted any way by the thousands Of
miners who had gathered along the
line of march. The funerals of Davis
and Jones, killed in the riot on We'd
nesday, took place this afternoon. The
entire population of Hyde Park turned
out, and large delegations from Belle
vue, Providence, Dunmore and Shanty
Hill were in attendance. The process
sion to the cemetery was one mile in
length, the entire street being literally
fllcl with people on foot. A line of
carriages also approached the burial
place by another street, and hundreds
of people came focking over the fields.
The services were conducted in Welsh,
and were very impressive, upward of a
thousand joining in singing the closing
hymn.
A resumption is close at hand. Meet
ings were held to-day in Hyde Park by
the miners of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western. 1t was voted to
accept the proposition to resume work
at ninetv-three and a half cents per
diamond car. A committee was ap'
pointed to wait on the representative
OF the company and inform him Of the
action taken, after q conference Of four
hours. Tonight arrangements will be
made by which all the collieries of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Company will he started on Monday
next. The news rapidly spread through
out, and cannon are now being fired in
JOYOUS anticipation of better times.
There will be a meeting Of the Della
ware and Hudson Company's men at
Providence tomorrow, and it is almost
certain that they too will accept the
same terms, and the resumption will be
general throughout the entire region.
The miners are making extraordinary
efforts to convict Karns, who is alleged
to have fired the shot that killed both
the miners. Jones and Davis subscrlp-
tions are coming in from all parts to
defray the expenses of pushing the
prosecution to the last extremity. Harms
who is now in Jail will have hearing
tomorrow. No attempt was made by
the authorities today TO arrest any OF
the leaders Of the W. B. A., although
warrantsa are in the hands of the officers.
New Telegraph Company.
New YORK, May 2l.-lt has just
leaked ont that there is a telegraph
company being formei, composed of
capitalists in New York and Europe,
who intend to lay, at the earliest posi-
ble moment, a submarine cable from
some point on the coast of Germany to
San Domingo, Jamaica, and other West
India Islands, and then run down the
East coast OF South America to Rio
Janeiro and other points. 1t is also the
intention OF the company to lay another
cable between the United States and
Aspinwall and build a good land line
across the Isthmus to Panama, and
from thence lay submarine cables down
the west coast OF South America, touch
ing at Lima, Valparaiso and other
points. The company will also extend
its line from the United States to Cuba

the Cuban coast can be obtained from
the Spanish Government. The parties
engaged in this enterprise believe they
can build up an immense business by
charging very low tariffs. The compa-
ny asks ne subsidy from any Govern
ment, intending to establish the enter
prise upon purely CONNIE rcial prlnci-
pies.
