 CoHoEs, April s.-signs of weakness are apparent in the attitude of the strikers to- day. A committee of spinners waited upon the company this morning with proposition to drop the demand for the discharge of Mur- ray. They desired to exact promise from the company that Smith and Mara, the blacklisted men, should be taken back and no one discharged or blacklisted in future for any part they may have taken in the present or recent strikes. The company represented by Mayor Thorne and Superintendent Johns ton replied that Murray should remain wheth CT the strikers desired it or not, that the mills were open for them to return if they wished to. Smiths case would be investigated after the difficulty was settled, but Mara could never return to work. The company propose to run their own business now. The employees had undertaken to dictate in the past, but the company proposs to do so now where their own interests are concerned mass meet ing will be held at half past seven tonight, when it is expected some definite action will be taken.

THE ELEMENTS.
How Our Local and the Signal
Observers Figure on Their
Freaks

In the early hours Of this morning
a dense mist and im~penetraole gray
fog envelOped all nature hereabouts,
Early risers complained of stiff joints
and achy rheumatics, if afflicted that
way, while persons blessed with bun
ions and corns, grOaned, grunted and
felt bad. The temperature at sunrise
this morning was 81 degrees, 5 de-
grees higher than yesterday at the
same hour. and the range yesterday
was from 46 to 81 degrees. The wind
came straight from the north all Of
yesterday, and this morning it blew
freshly from the same direction at the
rate of eight miles per hour. 1t
rained a little at several points south
last night, and several persons re-
marked that the sun has not shown IFS
face here for the past four days. The
chances are they were mistaken,
slightly, though it was not visible per-
haps all of yesterday. The winds will
shift to the northeast and thence to-
ward the southwest to-day. 0cca,
SIGNAL rains are probable, say the sig
nal service bulletins, in the east gulf
states, the New England states and in
the upper lake region. The same au-
thOrity says the Cumberland river and
the upper Ohio will rise, a welcome
bit Of news to river men.

Nevada is a land of curious pheno-
mena, Her rivers have no visible
outlet to the ocean. She has no lakes
Of any magnitude. She has vast
stretches of alkali deserts, however,
that give every indication of either
seas or lakes. Downin Lincoln county
there is a spring Of ice. cold water
that bubbles up over a rock and dis
appears on the other side. and no one
has been able to find where the water
goes. AT another point in the same
county is a large spring, about TWEEN
ty feet square, that is apparently
only some eighteen inches in depth.
with a sandy bottom. The sand can
be plainly seen, but on looking closer
it is perceived that this sand is in a
perpetual state Of unrest. No bottom
has eve been found to this spring.
It is said that a teamster on reaching
this spring one day, deceived by its
apparent shallowness, concluded TO
soak one Of his wagonwheels to cure
the ~loosneess Gifts tire. He therefore
took it off and rolled it into the, as he
thought, shallow water. lie never
laid his eyes on that wheel again.
Our mountains are full of caves
and caverns, many Of which have been
explored 10 a great distance. Speak
ing OF caves, a. redeO was held last
spring over in Huntingdon valley.
During its progress quite a number of
cattle were missed, and for a time un-
availing search was made for them.
Az last they were traced to the mouth
OF a natural tunnel or cave in Che
mountain. The herders entered the
cabin, followed it for a long distance.
and at last found the cattle. 1t ap-
pears they had probably entered the
cave, which was narrow, in search Of
OF water. 1t had finally narrowed SO
that they could proceed no further.
Neither could they turn around or get
out. They had been missed some
days, and if they had not been found
must inevitably have persisted in a
short time. As it was they were ex.
tricated from their predloament with
difficulty, by the herders squeezing
past and getting in front Of them and
soaring them into a retrograde move.

The comic musical composition
"Pinafore," which like the drama o.
the Two Orphans" has habits day and
served a good turn for a long period in
amusing the public with its pleasant
jingle, was presented at the theater
last night by the Miles Juvenile opera
troupe. The friends Of the children
we're on hand and manifested consider
able enthusiasm. The opera was
smoothly rendered throughout. To-

Of the brightest and best Of the chill

THE FIREMAN's BALL.
Tonight at the hall oftheir engine
house, fire company No. 2 viii indulge

music Of he sweetest aud the best,
terpsichorean exercises of the newest

all Of the enjoyments usual ON such

for the affair, and they have enter
tanned brilliant anticipations for two
or three weeks past regarding it. 1t

HOW WE FARE.
The Variety from Which Our
Bills Of Fare are Made.

Our high living citizens with pleth-
oric pocket books are just now enjoying
richness in the way Of good things for
their tables. The markets are sup
piled with a large list Of fresh and
toothsome edibles, from which every
taste can draw without limit. From
the salt water of the Mexican gulf, in
less than 45 hours from the time they
are caught, we have luscious sea bass,
red snappers and blue fish, purchas-
able at l2l cents per pound in a retail
way. Pompano are to be had off and
on, but at this moment none are here,
because they run, like snappers, in
shoals, and cannot be caught every
day. Besides plenty Of oysters of the
Saddle Rock, Shrewsbury ,Lynnhaven
bay, and other ocean quarters, we
have fresh fish from the northern
lakes, including white, MackinaW
trout, salmon and other kinds clans
too, are in good supply. Reelfoot
lake has also sent several consign-
ments taken from its waters, and pan
fish taken from Reelfoot are good.
The game seaso is just opening, and
we have venison at Is cents per pound
in a small way, or 5 cents at wholesale,
hides, tallOw, tails, bones. Saddles
go at Z to 10 cents per pound.
Ducks from the wild tribes that in
habit the swamps and lakes are here
at $3.50 per dozen, or IS cents per pair,
Quails also offer at s l.5O per dozen in
lots, and 81 in a small way. No bear
meat on hand, but we have had it,
a heavy fellow being shot in Cache
river bottom, fifty miles west of here.
He was eaten by bear gourmands with
a relish; a few 'possums have been
eaten BY old timers, and retired wood
men. In the way of fruits we have
choice oranges from Louisiana at
"a % to "a SO per barrel; bananas from
the tropics at 81 50 to 50 per bunch,
plenty Of lemons at 81 80 to s. per
box; California pears; catawba grapes,
malaga do, and other species all at
reasonable prices. Apples have sold
very rapidly during the past two
weeks, nearly 1000 barrels have been
taken since Sunday last. And, be-
sides all Of this, we enjoy an abun-
dance Of grass-fed beef, no fed
offering, Mutton and pigs are
plentiful aud nothigh. A drove of nice
hogs went through the streets to-day.
This class Of proyender is droopy in
value, and seems to be going lower
every day. We are having any
amount Of home productions in the
way Of garden vegetables in season.
none Of which are overly steep in
value. Nice celery is selling at Coo to
75c per dozen stalks. II is an excel
lent relish with oysters stewed, fried.
or otherwise, and asst requires nearly
$1,000 worth of the juicy bivalves to
this market for a single week,
is an important adjunct to an
epicurc's meal. Much more might be
said on this subject. But readers of
are apt to take a tour and learn
how it is themselves, when they 60 out
in search Of basket full of provender
Tomorrow to make up their Sunday
dinner.
