stock at such risks as are incident to explosive

the strike is to advance coal from 12114 to Is

Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune.
New YORK, Dec. 21.-Though George Francis
Train failed to become President, he has accom-
plished the next dearest wish OF his heart, by
getting into an American Bastile. Train has
been issuing here recently his little weekly,
called The Train Lig14e, which he started origi-
na1ly at Omaha. The last copy Of it fell into
the hands Of Anthony Comstock, whose self
chosen mission is to stamp out obscene itera-
ture, and who has succeeded in conyicting more
offenders than any Of his predecessors. Train
was arrested at his residence, up town, last
night, and went peaceably to Mercer Street

prison, and denunciations Of the Bible.
For some time past Train has been busy upon
a volume with which he threatens the public,
phrases OF the Bible narratives admitted by the
translators. He has deemed the present an op-
portunity to put bis beastly work in print. He
claims to have no religious belief, and holds that
there is nothing after death that man is only
an animal, and must share the fate of the ami
mails, very natural idea for Train, which ar

Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune.
Spn1seF1E1D, Dec. 21.-Ihere is no change in
the situation of the miners strike. However,
the miners published the grievances this morn
ing at length. They say: "1n the spring and
summer months the demand for coal in this
vicinity is quite limited and most OF the miners
ere thrown out Of employment. The proprietors
are compelled to reduce the price Of coal, and
the miners who are SO fortunate as to get em-
ploy1nent are compelled to take such prices as
fhe proprietors are pleased to give, or else be
without work and without the means Of Bup-
port for their families. In the fall and winter
months the demand for coal becomes greater,
and the miners, many of whom have been with
out work for the summer, find employment:
The proprletors advance their price Tor coal
from cents to Ii and u cents per bushel,
and find ready sale for it. But while they
advance their selling rates OF coal 33 or 40
per cent, they are unwilling to advance the
rates OF mining at all The miner gets
cents. the proprietor II cents per bushel Or,
Of s1.75 per ton, when it il we'll known that 50
cents per ton is regarded everywhere as q large
profit. The miner simply wishes to have lis
pay increased in small proportion to the in
crease OF the price of coal in the winter over that
OF summer. Is this unfair or unjust7" Again,
the miner is regarded not as a hired man by the
propretors but as euspmeE to to be ,aS aeecsd and nd
in the market and purchase OF the propEetors at
such prices ae may be demanded To
illustrate: 100 miners will use one gallon each
of oil in month at 81 so per gallon. $50: Cost
to the proprietor Goo per gallon, goo. Miners
skinned out of $l2o. Or take powder: 100 men
will use i've kegs each of powder per month
cost IS per heg: To miner, 81, $50; cost to the
proprietor say - per keg, $4,000: The miners 7
powder, $3.50 per month, enough to
pay the interest on the cost Of the mine, per-
dans, and superintendents and clerk hire. Nor
is this all. the cars are loaded as dictated by
the proprietore, The miners get pay for ten
tons Of coal Tho proprietors sell the coal
for twelve tons.
Your correspondent in an interview with Mr.
6tarne, one of the proprietors of the principal
coal Shaft, learned that the miner is perfectly
free to buy his supples,, wherever he desires,
and that tie price charged was no more than the
miner would have to pay; in the market,
i{f ha could 60 into it to buy.

A City Sensntton-Charges of Mal-Ad-
ministration In the Soldiers Or
phnnss Home.
Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune.
MADISON, Wis, Dec 21.-The city sensation,
to-day, Was an article in the Democrat, Of last
night, charging all sorts Of abuses and ma1~ad-
ninistration at the Soldiers Orphans Home.
The facts, 80 far as can be learned, are that
there has been dscord in the institution since
soon after the present superint tendent was III
stalled; also, quarrel between the Trustees,
originating in q difference between the daughter
Of one Of the Trustees, who WAS q teacher
at the Home, and Superintendent Burton,
and ordinations and recriminations have led to
gross exaggeratians Of faults in the manage
ment Of Home. That the children are INSULT
GENTLY fed or clothed, as charged, is denied by
those who often visit the Home. It is true,
however, that the Superintendent and his wife
have q great deal Of trouble in getting along
with the teachers, and that go1ne Of the children
have been pretty severely punished for faults.
The Journal, tonight, calls for 3 thorough
investigation, which will doubtless be made as
SOON as the Legislature convenes. In the mean-
time, the public are requested to suspend judg-
ment. Many of the children pronounce the
stories falae.

NO Editor-in.Chief Yet Secured.
Special Despatch to Tbs Chicago Tribune.
NEW YORK, Dec, 27.-The fate Of the Tribune
is still matter OF uncertainty. Mr.. Orton says
he bought q controlling interest to keep it, end
he denies that he has offered the chief editorship
to either George William Curtis OF Speaker
Blame. He also says that Whitelaw Reid retired
as managing editor entirely Of his own accord.
Mr. Reid finished his labors on the 1rab-
une last night, and was succeeded. as
managing editor to-day by J. r. G;
Hassard, who has long been general
editorial writer on the Tribune, though not on
political TOPICS. As managing editor, Mr.
Hassard is a novice.
The Harpers say A1r. Curtis would not accept
Mr. Greeley's place, as it would involve total
change Of his habits, which his health would not
permit.
Mr. Orton may not secure q leading editor for
several days, and what his intentions are in that
direction is unknown.
The friends OF the Times say no matter Who
edits the Tribune it can have, during this Ad-
1ninistration at least, no legitimate claim to Re-
publican leadership.

Last night Afiss Anna .. Dickinson addressed

which, she said, only served to I'LL our factories

Not being prepared with an answer, Miss
Dickinson disposed OF the question by saying
that she was there to state her case, and not to
reply to individual objections. She then pro-
ceeded with her lecture, closing with 8 1udicrous
picture Of the results to society should the eight
hour law be adopted BY all classes.
Hardly had the applause which crested the
conclusion Of her lecture subsided when an en-
ployer in the audience requested attention while
he answered the question propounded by the
practical iewel1er. The noise, however, WAS 80
great that he Was inaudible, save to "a few near
him. The person addressed, though much too
far of to know what was being said, seemed to
feel that it was not favorable to his class, and
replied With acrimony, which produced retort
in kind. Miss Dickinson stood on the platform
smiling gracious1y upon the disputants, and the
audience: many OF whom had resumed their
seats, applauded yociferously as a thrust was
