Starvation Wages in the Coal Mines.
Scranton, March 20.-The m liners are
now working about one-thirt of the
time, and earn on an avers ge sixty
cents per day. With full tir ne, under
the reduction, their wages would be
nearly two dollars per day. The la
borers, who form an impor tant factor
in the anthracite industry, re earning
about forty cents day, VIC ,rking one
third of the time, and as Il le majority
of them have large familie }, it can be
easily seen to what destit' ute circum-
stances they are reduced. Even if the
Delaware, Lackawanna &c Western
railroad company felt dis posed to in
crease the work at their mi mes, itwould
be impossible for them to d o so, as they
could not furnish a sufiicie mt number
Of cars to take the coal from the break
ers. On Saturday last owe 5000 cars
lay loaded on a switch at III oboken, and
there is now no prospect w hatever that
work will be increased an y more than
it has been during the past winter. A
crisis has evidently been ret lched in the
coal regions, and the climG < is awaited
with anxiety.

Strength of the Turkish Army.

London, March 2O.-Several highly
distinguished European officers who
have long been investigating the
strength of the Turkish army state that
the official estimates are vastly exag-
gerated. The Turks only have on the
Danube frontier and in Bosnia and
Herzegovina $4,000 men, with-what
seems hardly credible-225 cannon.
This force they are preparing to
strengthen with a reserve of 25, 900 men
They have on the Asiatic frontier about
75, 600 men and 120 cannon. Altogether
their army numbers 259, 900.

Another Big Snow Storm.

Chicago, March 20-A driving snow
fell during the entire afternoon, and
blocked the streets to travel except i'll
the beaten tracks, which were cleared
by snow plows run by the street car
companies. On the sides of the streets
the snow is piled up three or four feet
high, and street cars run with great
difficulty. The air is moist and the
snow heavy, and rain storm and a
flood are not among the improbable
ties. Sleet and heavy showers are re-
ported in the southern and central por-
tions of the State, and telegraph COM
munication is badly interrupted in all
directions.

Minor Matters.

Washington, March 20.-The Presi-
dent, in an interview with Wisconsin
Congressmen, intimated that the choice
Of commissioner Of agriculture lay be-
tween Rusk. of Wisconsin, and Leconte,
Of Philadelphia also, that no successor

present.
These gentlemen think Senator
Howe's chances for the supreme bench
are excellent.
Secretary Schurz to-day appointed as
a committee to investigate the grass
hopper plague, under the act of Con-
gress, Prof. Riley, state entomologist
Of Missouri, Prof. Thomas, of Illinois,
and DR.. Packard, of Salem. These

Terrible Tornado.

Memphis, March 20.-A destructive
tornado passed through Upton and
Lauderdale counties, fifty miles south
of here, on Thursday last. Fence rails,
buggies, smoke and carriage houses,
chimneys, out-buildings and forest
trees were distributed in conspicuous
and unpleasant style over corn and
cotton fields. The storm track was a
mile wide, and swept from Randolph to
Covington, crossing the Hatchie river
near Turner's farm, where oak trees
four feet in diameter were twisted into
splinters. Two negroes were killed
near the Hatchie river A number of
persons, white and black, were injured.

Washington, March 90. Senator
Ferry says he holds over as president
pro tenn. on account of Vice President
Wheeler having complied with sug-
gestion of the Republican members,
and did not, as is customary, leave the
chair on the last days session until it
closed. Had he vacated the chair a
new election would have been neces-
sary. Therefore, if both President and
Vice President should die, Ferry would
succeed to the Presidency.

New York. March 20 Joseph L..
Lewis, of Hoboken, N. j., died short
time ago, aged S6, bequeathing his en-
tire estate, valued at one million dol
lars, to the government to help pay the
national debt. He was accredited a
bachelor by everybody that knew him,
and often declared that he had no rela-
tions in this country or England.
Yesterday, however, a richly-dressed
woman appeared in the Surrogate's Of
fee. claiming to be his wife, and that
she was married to Lewis year ago.
Another woman. claiming to be his
niece, has filed caveat for the million.

Sunday afternoon body was found
