A Fiendish Crime.

CHICAGO, May IA Tribune spe-
cial from Streator, Illinois, says the
coal miners of that place who struck
some time ago, and whose places
were supplied with new men, and
who subsequently were for the most
part taken back, so that only about
one hundred of the new men were
retained, have for long time been
kept separate from the "black-legs,'
as the novices were called, lest trou-
BILE should occur from their jealousy
OF late, however, the two gangs have
been allowed to mingle, and to-day
the ranking hate found expression
by some Of the old miners poisoning
the food in the dinner buckets of the
new ones, and tonight some sixty OF
these unfortunates are in the throcs
of agony, and many of them will I'M
douctedIy die from the effects of the
poison, and the lives of all hang
upon a thread. Arsenic was the drug
used, but in some cases it was SO
plentifully administered as to coun-
teract its own action.
STnEAToR, ILL.,, May 15.-The
miners of the Chicago. Wilmington
& Vermlllion Coal Company. who
were poisoned yesterday, as sup
pose by their envious brother work
men, arsenic being tie medium,
have, under careful and prompt
medical treatment, generally re-
covered to-day. Some half-a-dozen
out of the sixty are however IN a
dangerous condition, and their re-
covery is extremely doubtful. The
city is greatly excited.

A Man Shot for Six Bits.

On Saturday last one Samuels
walked into a saloon at Washoe City
furnishing revolver and inquired
if there was "anyboly who wanted
to die" Then he stepped toward a
man named Hammond, who was sit
ting in a chair, pointed his pistol at
him and told him to hold up his
head. Hammond did so and Samu-
els blazed away. The ball took effect
in his victims mouth, striking his
teeth and glancing upward through
the right cheek, inflicting terrible
wound. The murderous villain was
Immediately arrested and taken to
Reno. The people at Washoe were
naturally much excited and had the
shot been fatal, the murderer would
have been strung up at once. The
ouly reason Samuels gave tor his
cowardly and most brutal assault
was that Hammond owed him six
bits. They had quarreled over the
matter and made mutual threats, con-
sequently he got the drop On him,
and he said Hammond would do the
same under like circumstances. Both
are old residents Of Washoe. Samu-
els used to keep saloon, and Ham
mond was the V. & T. r. X. section
man. He loses three or four teeth
and the surgeons fear that erysipela:
will set 10 and the wound prove fatal

Among the meritorious publica-
tons devoted to the subject of fashion,
we would invite the attention of our
lady readers to one, which we think
possesses in large degree the essen
tials of perfect work-viz., COM
moi sense and taste. We refer to
"Ehrichs' Fashion Quarterly" the
"Spring" number of which has just
reached us.
1t will be found instructive, use
full. valuable. The very low subscrip-
ton price at which it is issued will
surprise our lady readers when they
examine its contents. The leading
idea of the work, the presentation Of
reference book and illustrated cata-
logue of the contents of their great
establishment, is handsomely con-
veyed; and the fund of information,
instruction, and thought thereto
added will make it welcome in all
homes where taste and refinement
dwell. The beauty of its illustra-
tons the topics so ably presented
by its able lady contributors. its
practical common-sense suggestions,
above all, the value Of its price list,
make it the best investment we have
seen in its line. No household should
he without it.
To Fortunes favored ones it offers
manifold attractions in its choice and
rare styles pertaining to the ward
robe and personal adornment. To
those in moderate circumstances OPP
portunlty is gwen for display of
the same refinement of taste, though
1t may be in humber objects. To all
who seek t. learn, to cultivate the
beautiful, and to adorn "home" and
the loved ones it will he found mine
of information. The "Spring" num-
Der, large volume of 116 pages, is
well worth the whole years subsc,ip-
ton price, which is astoundingly
moderate so cents. The

THE EBB OF EMIGRATION. - Two
hundred emigrants we're on the East
bound rain that passed through this
city at noon to-day. Most of them
were mechanics who left the States
about two months ago for Ca lifornia,
expecting to find in that State en-
ployment at good wages. Now they
are returning, disguised with the
West, and many of them declare that,
if they had not been possessed of the
requisite funds to carry them back,
they would lave been obliged to stay
in California and starve to death
They are bitter IN denunciatlon of
those who pictured to them in such
glowing colors the condition of things
in the West, and big majority of
these very men who, two months ago,
passed through here with such gIori-
Gus anliclpations of homes and re-
munerative employment, are now
willing to pull off their coats and
work for their board. They have
wandered through the forest and cut

The New York Tribune says: "

The New York Tribune says: Ut
is difficult to say who has right to
complain of the postponement of the
extra session OF Congress until
October Is. Not the business men.
for they avoid renewal of political
agitation. Not the leaders Of either
party. for they have asked for delay
and will proceed with increased
hopefulness to plot for the Speaker.

venience to the soldiers will be
slight. Not the congressman, for
they would risk health and happi-
ness in a midsummer session. Not
the newspapers, for the close con-
temptation OF Congress tends to
melancholy. Not MIR. Cox, for it
allows him q longer time to put salt
on the tail Of the Speakership.

chances Of finding a seat in the
House that is for sale. Not Mr..

VIRGINIA and Oregon have started
flank attacks upon ium-se'lers thai
are novel and will prove harrassing
even If not effectual. The first has
passed a bell-punch liquor law, which
imposes a tax of three cents upon
every glass of whisky and one cent
On each glass of beer sold, and com
pels the bar-keeper to pull lever
which rings bell and works dial
for each drink sold. In Oregon they
have passed law compelling a man

TIE news from the scene of the
Indian war Is encouraging. General
Crook lie fast gathering in the hostiles
and probably the campaign will soon
be over, and peace with the national
wards be established. Sitting Bull,
with two or three hundred followers,
is yet in the field, but it is thought
that he will soon surrender or pos
sibly retire to British territory and
give up the war.

Sewing Machine Monopoly Ended.

An Eastern paper says: The first
of May ushered in an event of even
greater moment to many housekeep-
ers than the annual moving, namely,
the expiration of the last important
patent which enabled the makers OF
sewing machines to keep up their ex-
horbitant prices. For years past the
large corporations have bought up
inventors patents and concentrated
their rights, thus enabling themselves
to restrict any such general manutac-
ture as might interfere with their
practical monopoly. The grand CEN
trail patented feature, the needle with
an eye near its point, was one to
which all the makers paid royalty,
and for self-protection they combined
to drive dangerous rivals out of the
field. The last of these patents IN
which all the varieties. of standard
sewing machines had common in
terest was the four motion feed, and
for months past the combined corpo-
rations have been working for re-
ncwal of the patent, but renewal has
been denied. Already the principal
companies have begun to offer their
machines at twenty-five per cent. dis
count for cash, and ere long the
Howe, Singer, and other machines
will be extensively made by other
companies than those that have had
the monopoly, and machines that cost
only ten dollars each will no longer
sell for sixty.

WORKING SHAFTs.-The mode of
working the mines OF this district Is
universally condemne'l--every practi-

his opinion that tunnels will not do
for the economical working of our
mines. In only few instances can

have been run in the district. Il is

In view of the threatened revolt
in the Republican party, the follow
ing, from Secretary-of.the- Navy
Thompson, will sit we'll on the
stomachs of Republicans:
That which rejoices the country
to-day more than all else is the pa
cification of the South, a glorious
work auspiciou'ly begun, and which
will be, with Gods blessing,
brought to its full fruition. Why,
sir. that ought to make the people
of that section unanimous in praise
of the mission of the Republican
party. If I speak enthusiastically,
remember l was born in the South,
have had forty years experience in
my Northern home, naturally love
both sections. and it brings back
something of the old glow of young
er manhood to realize that 80
much has been done in g. short a
time. Ny dear sir. I do not see
what room there is in this count, y
now but for one party. You may
call it new party, but it will be
forever the party of the republic
the Republican party if you please.
The Welding process has COM
menced. All sections are now 10
be knit together. and I trust, and
may we all hope. that this good
work shall crown tho labors of the
peoples administration, for that is
what history will call it.

THE COMMlTTEES-REPUBL TO HAVE
FAIR REPREsANTATIoN.
WASHINGTON, Oct. A.-speaker Randall
stated to-day that he did not think he would
be able to announce the committees to-mor-
row. He has arranged them all, 90 far as
the Democrats are concerned, bnt the Re-
publicans have asked time to allow them to
make proper selections of those who are to
compose the leading committees.
He will give the Republicans fair re-
presentation, more, in fact, than tho Re-
publicans ever gave under similar circum-
stances, giving them four on the committee
of eleven, and five on the Pacific Railroad
Uommittee, composed of thirteen members.
In regard to tariff, revenue, and financial
questions, he will compose the committee In
such manner that all the various interests
of the different sections of the country will
be properly cared for.
NO ACTION ON GENERAL HARLAN'S NoAI-
NATION.
The nomination of General Harlan as

OPPOSITION TO MR.. HLLIARD As MINISTER
TO BRAZIL.
It is understood that there will be strong
opposition to the confirmation of Henry W.
Hilliard as Minister to Brazil. It appears
from papers presented to the Senate Com
miLtee that he was not only active but in
strumental in carrying Tennessee and other
States out of lhe Union in 1861. His re-
cord at that time and during the Rebellion
Is regarded as very bad. Whether all Re-
publican Senators will take the same view
as the leading members of the committee
do remains to be seen. If they schould, he
will be rejected; but this is doubtful, as
there are few who are not disposed to re-
ect so able and capable man for his course
buring that period.
