New York, Feb. 11.-Notwithstand-

rhe Trouble :, ,he Mines.

.f AhS AtoopaS ~ VIC nAihco.
San Francisco, Feb. 14.-The situa-
tion at Bodie is unchanged. The su-
perintendents at meeting decided to
resist the demand of the mechanics,
and import men if necessary. The
miners' union disclaims connection
with the strike, but will probably take
early action in the affair, as many of
their members are thrown out of en-
ployment. George DAILY, superintend-
ent Of the Mono, was stopped on the
street this morning by two strikers,
who announced their intention of TAX
ing him forcibly before the mechanics
union. DAILY drew pistol, drove away
the assailants and took refuge in a
store. Daly's life is now threatened on
the street, the strikers saying it is only
aquestion Of time.
LATER-The strike has ended and
the miners will resume work to-mor-
row.

the beloved companion of her children,

couraaement and meeting him at night
with a welcoming kiss! A home is indeed
made desolate by the loss Of such a wife and
mother. Many a mother is not this
