MADDENED MINERS.
The Strike in the Pennsylvania
CollierieS Not Ended.
military Guarding PeaceabIe workmen
Night and Day-A Reign Of Terror.

Scranton, Oct. 12.-The attempt on
the part of the Lackawanna Iron and
Coal company to work the Pinsbrook
colliery has exasperated the strikers to
a fearful pitch. About twenty men
worked in the mine to-day, and were
escorted to and from their houses by a
strong military guard. On quitting
the work they were assailed by the
shouts of the mob, who assembled in
force near the coal breaker, but were
kept back by the soldiers. The colliery
is strongly guarded day and night. The
men who worked there to-day appealed
for protection to the authorities to-
night, stating that they were in fear of
being murdered in their houses before
morning. Detachments have been
sent to protect them, and strong
force of military is under arms in this
city, ready to march at moments
notice. Troops have been telegraphed
for from down the valley, and will ar
rive before morning.

HARRY MEIGGS,
The Man of Monster Schemes.


New York, Oct. 12.-W. r. Grace,
the head of the chief Peruvian firm In
this city, speaking of the condition Of
the late Henry Meiggs at the time of
his death, says he thinks that really
nothing except a mass of worthless Sc
curities and contracts is left behind by
Meiggs, and says he should be very sor-
ry to be creditor of the estate. Every
thing of real value, or nearly everything
had been gotten rid of by him some
time ago, and what may be left was
probably mortgaged for its full value.
Meiggs was visionary man who car
ried out vast schemes, but they were
often things that sound business man
would consider worthless. Grace thinks
the estate cannot be settled so as to
pay the debts, let alone leaving any sur
plus.
The project of continuing the Oroya
road to the Cerro de Passa mines has
not been carried out. The road is fin
ished to about ninety miles from Lima,
at place called Alchi, having been
pushed on to that place at enormous
cost. Alchi is about eleven thousand
feet above the level of the sea. The
road is not doing any business.
AS for the project of opening the Ger
70 de Passa mines and draining them
of water, Grace considers it visionary
in the extreme. There is nothing new
in the project; it was n nursery fable
when Grace was a boy in Peru, over
twenty-five years ago, and may be
thought about as feasible as the dis
covery and recovery of the late lament
ed Captain Kidd. One large English
firm ruined itself years ago on the same
scheme.
The sugar haciendas OH the line of
the unfinished Chimbote railroad no
longer belong to Meiggs, but are in the
possession of Dentiano, of the house of
Drayfus s. Co. These two estates, in
which over one million of dollars each
was expended in improvements alone,
were squandered and paid away as
commission on the sale of Peruvian
bonds. The haciendas are now paying
handsomely.
The Chimboti road was expected to
open up rich mining country but failed
to do so. There are. however, some
coal and silver mining interests about
there fairly nrosperouS but they have

CANADA.
The Canadian Pacific Railway.


Pembina, D. T., Oct. 12.-The first
locomotive, platform cars, and rolling
stock of the Canadian Pacific Railway,
passed here this morning ON the steam-
er Selkirk, for Winnepeg. The stock
is intended for construction service ON
the Pembina branch of the Canadian
Pacific Railway, and will be landed at
Winnepeg tomorrow. As this is the
first rolling stock ever seen in this lati-
tude, its appearance at all points was
hailed with great enthusiasm. At Fort
Pembina a military salute was fired,
and the officials of the post and United
States officials at the post, together
with the inhabitants, turned out en-
masse. Whitehead, chief contractor,
accompanied the stock. The fiotilla
will arrive at Winnepeg tomorrow,
and will doubtless be received with a
great demonstration,

The Cabinet Council.

Washington, Oct. 12.-The Cabinet
session to-day was devoted mainly to
the consideration and final determine
tion of the estimates to be transmitted
to Congress with the Presidents mes
sage next week, and of the amount of
deficiency appropriations that will be
required for the support of the various
branches of public service during the
current fiscal year. In addition to the
amount required for the Army there
will be about $4,000, 900 estimated for
the Navy, s255,0o for expenditures
under the Department of Justice. There
will also be sundry small items for
official postage stamps and for tenn
porary repairs of the Patent Office.

THE Speakership contest is expected

not be elected, because he thought
Southern Democrats were more conser'
vative than their brothers, and to place

Davis Judicial Bill.

Washington, Oct. 12.-Davis' bill is
almost completed. 1t is similar to that
of McCrary's, which failed to pass the
Senate last session, providing for the
formation of an international appellate
court in each U. S. circuit, composed
of the circuit Judge and district judges
in each circuit. The full bench will be
composed of five judges, and they will
have jurisdiction in cases of fact,
whenever the sum in suit is under $l0,-
600; also in criminal cases. AT present
there is no appeal from the decision OF
a circuit court in criminal cases. The
bar of all the circuits, and judges have
always felt that this was severe
responsibility, and it was their almost
unanimous opinion that court of ap-
peals should be given power to review
findings in criminal cases. This appel
late court would not have jurisdiction
over any cases in which the amounts
involved exceeded $4,000, or in which
any constitutional question, treaty OF
act of Congress was point at issue.
This, in brief, was the McCrary bill.
Its objects are good, viz, to lessen the
pressure of business in the Supreme
court of the United States, but it had
some objections. The Supreme court
is terribly behind now, and its work is
constantly increasing. Mr.. McCrary's
bill would tighten its labors, but would
increase those of the already overbur
dened circuit judges. Judge Davi!
proposes to double the number of cir
cult judges, making Is in all. The in
crease of number of Supreme court
judges would be of no avail, since al
would have to sit on each case.
Senator Davis expresses the hop
that Judge Drummond, of Illinois, vii
succeed him on the Supreme cour
bench.

GUILTY GILMAN.

He Surrenders and is Sent to Sing Sing.
New York, Oct. 12.-Wm. c. Gill
man, the forger of insurance scrip.
indicted by the grand jury yesterday,
surl endered himself to-day and ap-
peared before Recorder Hackett, where
he plead guilty and was sentenced to
five years in the states, prison. Gill
mans counsel read statement in eX-
tenuation, in which Gilman says the
decline in business, bad investments,
heavy expenses, both business and do
nestle, and personal extravaganza had
betrayed him. He loved better to give
away money than to spend it himself.
His bonds and interests were with
charitable works. He never speculated
or lost or won any money by any wager.
He made investments in enterprises
which all promised well, but turned
out bad. Prior to the panic of 1873 he
had made improper use of trust funds,
under the pressure of Il declining busi-
ness, and the troubles of that year had
involved him in additional losses. After
that time he must have put forth the
first raised certificate. He had suffered
in thinking of his business and in abus-
Ing the confidence of his friends. Hop
ing that new step would extricate
him, he plunged deeper and deeper.
He had not sold fraudulent securities,
but had borrowed on them. He alone
was responsible for every wrong. act,
and no human being ever had suspi-
cion of it. Suicide has been much in
his thoughts.
Gilman's statement was addressed to
his brothers and sisters, who lose S75,-
600 by his operations, to Rev. DIR.
Houghton, his brother-in-law, and Rec
tor Of the Little Church around the
Corner" and other friends. The scene
in court was exceptional. The counsel
who read the paper did so with trem-
bling voice. Mr.. Lane, who followed,
was deeply affected, and said Gilman
left his wife at home OH the verge OF
insanity. District Attorney Phelps,
with tears coursing down his cheeks.
and with choking utterance, said he
had known the prisoner for years, and
this was the saddest case he had evei
had anything to do with. Recorder
Hackett, in passing sentence, was mucf
affected and wiped away tears. The
detectives turned their backs upon thu
fearful spectacle, hurried Gilman to
coach in waiting, and drove to hi
office, which he leaves this evening
convict for Sing Sing for the term of
wears at hard labor.

A Judge on the war-Pa,h.

Washington, Oct. 12.-Judge Wright.
of Indiana, assaulted Columbus Delano
this morning in the street with stick,
inflicting serious wounds upon his head.
Delano was conveyed to the residence
of his son-in-law, Mr.. Ames. Wright
was indicted during Delano's admins
tration of the Interior Department, for
forgery, in connection with the pay
ment of money to Indians, whereby he
became rich, but he escaped conviction
on account of the st. Louis court de-
Gliding that it had no jurisdiction.
Wright was greatly excited, and struck
De1ano with heavy cane from behind.
He had threatened to attack Delano at
every opportunity. No arrest.

Of murder and suicide occurred to-day

Mrs. Maud Bell, the wife of Robt. S.
Bell, who is brakeman on the Iowa
Central railroad. What passed between
them is not known, but the screams of
the woman brought the occupants OF
the house to the door of Gladden's
room just in time to see both of these
persons fall to the floor, their throats
fatally cut with razor in Gladden's
hand. In dying he clasped his arms
about her with vice-like grip. No
