Legitimate mining in the United
States offers better inducements to
persons seeking investments, than any
"t!lcr industry, not excepting agricul-
ture or commerce. Carefully compiled
statistics show that, for every dollar
expended in searching for gold, be.
tween four and five do lars are realized.
A great proportion Of the failures is
due to gross acknowledgements. Men
who would not entertain a thought of
embarking in Il mercantile venture
without an extended experience and a
corps Of equally well posted assist
ants, will rush blindly into mining and
place reliance in luck Such men re.
gard their efforts as a mere gamble
and arc successful as often as the faro
player. The other class of mine own.
ers who, developing their properties,
put every dollar where it will do the
most good, require their employees to
do good days work for good wages,
save q dollar wherever they see an op.
portunity, are practical miners of wide
experience, or else have in every de
partment trustworthy men; while they
themselves are shrewd financiers-
these men are almost always success
full. Failures with them is an excep-
ton, while with less shrewd investors
it is the rule New. Transcript.

are firm. Oats unchanged, but business
in foreign rather better. Maize is now
in better supply; mixed American extra

Female Compositors Pressed into Service
at Milwaukee.
MILWAUKEE, April 25.-The printers
in the Republican and Sentinel offices
struck to-day for an advance OF five
cents per thousand Both offices refused

apprentices. An agent for the Eastern
unions has gone to st. Paul to organize
similar movement there.
Only One Street Railway in Operation in
st Louis
ST. LOUIS, April 25.-There is nothing
important to report to-day in regard to
the street railway strike. No cars are
being run on any of the roads except
the Bellefontaine line, which has every
car it eau muster in service, and is doing
tremendous business. The Board OF
Street Commissioners will hold special
session tonight and consider the ques.
ton OF granting the protection desired
by the railway managers. The police
force of the city is not large enough to
meet the demand made OF placing an
officer on each car The strikers are
holding another meeting at Turner Hall
and will have parade this afternoon,
in which the hostlers OF the stables will
Join. Public sentiment is still with the
strikers, and numerous voluntary con-
tributions to aid them have been made
by business houses and individuals.
The strikers are very quiet and orderly,
and strongly deprecate any lawless ac.
ton on the part Of their friends and
sympathizers.
Trouble in the Iron Works.
PIrTsBURGu, April 25.-The bar rollers
in the iron mills will ask for an increase
in wages when their present scale ex-
pires on June lst. Their scale now has
65 cents for basis and they will ask
that it be increased to 50 cents. The
muck rollers receive 6<i cents as basis
and bar rolling is held to require more
skill. The Amalgamated Association
say the increase will be readily granted,
but the iron manufacturers feel like re.
fusing it. They say the bar rollers now
make very good wages and that there
must some time come stop to .he de.
mands for increase which the Amaga'
mated Association make each year.
The Cabinet makers Join the Gang.
DETROIT, April 25.-Two hundred and
thirty of the two hundred and forty cab
met makers employed in the Pullman
Car Works, this city, struck to-day for
an advance OF 10 per cent in their wages

quiet and respectful. A committee was
appointed to wait on the superinten'

last week, but was refused.

REyoLrINa MURDER.
Ars Eliza Pope Brutally Murdered by
Girl and Her Lover.

Bosroy, April 25.-A brutal murder
was committed yesterday afternoon in
q tenement house on Jasper street, In
the North End, which has startled the
community, and as vet puzzles the au-
thorities. The victim was Mrs. Eliza
Pope, a woman about forty.two years OF
age and wife OF cook on board sailing
vessel. After q patient investigation of
the case this brief history Of the case has
been elected. About twelve O'Clock
one Michael Gillespie, q pedler, met .
brother pedler, James Tracey, near the
corner Of Hanover street and Jasper
Place. They had drink together, and
Tracey said to his friend, Mike come
up TO Mrs. Pope's and | will show you .
nice girl from East Boston that
| have there" Tracey went up
stairs and Gillespie went to put up his
horse. The former went to Mrs. Pope's
rooms aud stayed there for some time.
About an hour afterward his friend
came TO the door and knocked. He re
ceiyed no answer, and peepins through
the key hole, he saw Tracey sitting on
the edge of the bed with his arm around
a young girl, while on the floor lay the
stia and stark corpse OF Mrs. Pope, one
side OF her head beaten into jelly. lie
ran away from the door and notified the
authorities. The girl turned out to be
Mary McManus, eighteen years OF age.
and resident OF East Boston. She had
been stopping with Mrs. Pope for few
days. Her father this evening said to q
correspondent: "She is a bad girl, and
woull 90 almost anything | turned
her out OF the house recently for lascivi.
GUS practices. She is q bad lot, and
should no, be surprised at anything she
would do"
The girl tod her story as follows:
"The day before yesterday came over
to Boston to visit Mrs. Pope, and at her
request stayed over here 10 keep her
company, ss ] have frequently before
done. This afternoon, n few minutes
before one o'clock, the man Tracy came
into Mrs. Pope's room and began max.
ing vulgar proposals to her and seized
hold OF her. This Mrs. Pope rcpclled,
and he then pursued her around the
room. He then threw his arms around

saw Mrs Pope lying on the floor and
Tracy with stick OF wood in his hand,
kicking her AZ she lay insensble; he
kept me in the room until the officers
came; this is all | know OF the case
The theory Is that Tracy. who has
been visiting Mrs. Pope, tried TO made
love tc tue McManus girl, when he went
in, and that Mrs. Pope resented 1t,
when row ensued, and the two delib-
erately killed her. The officers are dill.

RIVAL DEMoCRATIC LEADERS.
Wallace and Randall Repairing Their
Political Fences


WASHINGTON, April 25.-EX.Speaker
Randall, who is still in the city, is close.
ly watching the progress OF the political
discussionsin in the Senate and the general
policy OF the administration, especially
in financial affairs. Judging from his
conversations he will take prominent
part in the affairs OF the House in the
present Congress upon reassembling in
December, and particularly will
compete with Blackburn and other
would-be leaders for the control
of the tactics of his party
on all national questions. The expert
ence OF the Speakership will undoubted'
ly give him an important advantage.
The Speaker, in referring to the
course OF his party, comedies that the
recklessness OF management IN the
House has been the leading cause OF the
later Democratic defeats. He thinks by
adhering to principle. instead OF manipu-
lating for power, in the next three years
the Democrats can place themselves on
a platform national in character by pur-
suing conservative course and by aim.
ing at harmony in the views and purpo.
SEES of the Southern and Western wings
of the party.
The friends OF Senator Wallace who
come here from the different parts OF
PENNSYLVANIA say that he is also repair
ing his political fences and his retire.
ment from the Senate by no means
means his retirement from either Ma.
tional or State politics. The skillful
management OF the affairs OF his party
in the Senate is generally conceded, and
several Democrats Of prominence OF late
have referred to his retirement from the
Senate as decided loss.
In regard to Randall being no longer
handicapped with the Speakership he
expects to fill larger sphere in parlia,,
mentary as we'll as political affairs, and
his friends say that everything might be
possible for him in 1884, il he carries
out his plans witch he has now in view
for his party in matters of legislation.
