THE MINING TROUBLES.


NEW YORK, April 16.--A Potts
vile, Pa, dispatch says The long,
continued suspension of mining in
this region is seriously affecting all
kinds of business. The pinch had not
become severe enough to complain
Of. But when the first of April found
business in anything but a favorable
condition for quarterly settlement,
men began to look grave. Now the
air is heavy with rumors, many of
them only too true, of disasters i'm
pending over merchants and other
business men Of the region. Few
have ever been able to do a strictly
cash business, and those who deal ON
credit have already lost heavily with
no prospect of speedy relief. No pos
tive failures have been reported as
yet, but many merchants have from
$1,000 to 10000 ON their books. of
which they are unable to collect a
dollar, and it is said that one firm in
this place, retailers of dry goods and
groceries, have already invested $40, :
900 in the strike. The same strin-
gency which affects merchants is
felt in all other branches Of business.
1t is
AS BAD AS A PANIC.
Nobody is able to collect money -
Real estate, in which there was q
very large business done last year, is
wholly inactive. The local stock
market is depressed. Savings funds,
which usually issue "a new series of
shares every month, now only issue
one-third as often, for nobody has
any money to save, and shares go
unsold, and it is reported that one or
two in the neighboring towns have
suspended payments.
CRIMES AND NO PUNISHMENT.
The Philadelphia and Reading
railroad has adopted the practice of
running pioneer engines ahead of its
trains on the more dangerous
branches, and one of these, on Mine
Hine Hill branch, last Monday, re-
moved a pile of planks and sills from
the track at a dangerous curve for
the third time. Nobody brings to
justice the miscreants who perpetrate
these crimes; nobody attempts to.

THE BROOKLYN SIN.
Becchcr's TestimOny--Satur-
days COntnminntiOns of
the Court Room Illness Of
Counsel and Reporters.

BROOKLYN, April 17.--There is
but little gossip regarding the Beech
er scandal trial to-day. 1t is said
Florence Tilton and Frank Carpen-
ter win be called to testify by the
plaintiff, and that Moulton viii also
be recalled. Next to Beecher's testi-
mony the interest in the trial centres
in the rebuttal testimony, and in this
connection it is rumored that Burke
and her fellow servants have been
found by plaintiffs counsel and that
the inner life of Tilton's home
will be presented in its truthfullness.
Cleaveland's health is reported inn
proving. He will follow Beecher on
the witness stand to- testify regarding
Beecher's whereabouts on the I'd of
June, which Mrs. Moulton fixed as
the date of the famous afghan inter-
view.
The Graphic, in its issue to-day,
says Plymouth Church employs at
least fifty persons rs private detec-
tives to dog and report the move
ments of M0ulton, Tilton and other
opponents of Beecher in the case. E
The sanitary condition of the court
room is becoming source of appre-
hension to reporters and others who
are compelled to attend. The fire.
quent illness of counsel and jurymen
shows the necessity for better regula-
tion.. One reporter is lying danger
Ously i'll from an attack of pneumonia
contracted through the bad atlnos-
phere OF the court room.

The HOrse.Eating Frenchmen.

Hippophagy is making rapid progress
in France on account OF the Scarcity OF
beeves and the exorbitant prices now de-
manded for all sorts of meats. The con-
sumption of horsefesh in Paris for public
Authorization is much greater than it has
ever been. Its use, except in the manu-
facture of the well known Lyons sausage,
is of recent date. The first equine butch
cries were established in 1866. In 1867,
after trial of one year, 2, 152 horses were
butchered and sold for food. In 1859 the
number of horses, asses and mules
slaughtered reached 1858, and the num-
Der was increased to 5,732 in 1872. In
1874 the figures rose to Z, 1874, which gave,
net, 1896, $50 kilogrammes OF meataa
kilogramme being about two pounds. On
Jan. of the present year there were n1ty
shops in Paris where horsefesh was sold
to the public and there were five more
shops ia the suburbs of the city. In the
provincial towns the progress has been
about the same. do not think that any
one really likes horse-fiesh better than
beef. though some do prefer asses flesh
to beef: but it is sold at about one-half
the price of beef, and hence is used by
the Door for their bouillon and their pot
nufeal. The use of horse-fesh In sausage
is now general in France, and 1t gives a
peculiar taste that is not unpalatabie ana
that peculiar reddish color OF the Lyons
sausages. / need scarcely say that only
old and broken down horses OF small val
ne are sent to the abattoir.-Ports Cor.

SIX MILIIoNs.-About two years ago
DR.. j. WALKER, an old and prominent
physician of California, discovered, by
actual experience upon his own system,
a medicine which may honestly be termed
" boon to suffering humanity" Being
a combination of herbalistic extracts,
pungent and sour to the taste, and yet
possessed of gentle stimulative character
although entirely free from alec.
hol--he named it VINEGAR BrrTERs, and
despite the prejudice existing among his
profession against all patented medicines
he determined to brave the jeers of his
brother practitioners and give to suffer
ing humanity the benefit of his accident
al discovery. He did so, and the benefits
from its use became known. The de-
mand increased, and immense quantities
were sold at merely nominal price. Its
merit is told in the fact that :" in two
years over SIX MILLIONS of bottles have
been sold" and still the demand increases.
Surely such man should be ranked
among the benefactors Of the human
race. 30

Certainly the oldest place in the
world for mouse to thrust bis head INTO
was chosen by little prowler at Ang-
mering, England, the other day: some
oysters were lying, open.mouthed, on the
kitchen table, when mousie, attracted by
the prospect of savory morsei, inserted
his head between the jaws of one OF them.
Together sprang the shells with a snap
and mousie was caught In a vice as strong
and as close as a steel trap. His death
was instantaneous and several persons
in the room at the time will testify TO the
strange manner of his tragical demise.

That "mysierOus Murder"

In yesterday mornings. HERALD there
appeared an article with the above
heading which contained the particu-
lars of a supposed murder near Mr.
Samson's place, some twelve miles
from the city, on the Preston road
We learn now from Sheriff Barley,
who has Investigated the affair, the
real truth of the matter. For some
time past man named Hampton, as
sisted by his brother, both residents Of
Collin county, have been extensively
engaged in stealing sheep and cattle
from the farmers Of that section of the
country. The thieves finding that their
robberies had been at last traced con-
cusively to them, suddenly left the
county with the intention of hunting
II secure hiding place in Dallas. They
were pursued, however, by four dep
uty sherilfs, who finally came in sight
of them in front of Mr.. Samson's res
idence. AS related in our previous
article, Hampton took to the woods,
holly pursued by the officers. The
chase was close and exciting, the pur-
suers several times coming so near to
the thief that they were enabled to
fire upon him, Il compliment which he
returned four times, fortunately, how
ever, without injuriug any of the party.
Finally they hunted him so closely
that he was compelled to enter an
open field, and while crossing it he
was seen to drop to the ground. The
pursuers soon reached the spot and to
their surprise found him lying perfect
ly motionless, and to all appearance,
lileless. An examination proved that
the man was dead, caused probably by
overeXertion or heart disease. His
body was carried back to the wagon
and the whole party, including the
brother and wife, returned to Collin
county.
