A BEAUTIFUL TRIO.

Gould Charges Cornell With Agreeing to
Sign the Elevated Road Bill and
Making Blind Pool Which
Cleaned the eStreet
CORNELL DENIES PART OF THE STORY

New York, August 2l.-The Times reit-
crates the charges that Conkling and Gould
are organizing an opposition to CornelPs
denomination. because Cornell refuses to
allow himself to be made Gould's tool in
legislation and judicial appointments. The
Times says Gould feels himself slndry mil.
lions poorer by reason of CornelPs veto OF
the Elevated railroad tax relief bill, and
sees nothing but endless disappointment
and embarrassment if the purchase of half
the Legislature is is to be rendered profit
less by the independence of the Governor.
Gould intimates that Cornell may have
secret reasons for hostility making the fol-
lowing charges: Cornell went to Gould
and begged him to allow Cornell to use the
names of Russell Sage and Sydney Dillon in
a blind pool on American District Telegraph
stock OF which Cornell was large holder,
Cornell being Governor at the time. Gould
hesitated, but Cornell begged, saying it
would be the greatest favor Gould could
ever do ham. The pool would be of small
account without the names. Gould re-
luctantly consented and secured the names
of Sage and Dillon. A blind pool is where
several men put in money, leaving the
buying and sales to one man, who goes on
his own judgement and at the wind up of
the pool accounts to those who trusted
him. When Cornell got the use of the
names he soon had it known through
Wall street that Gould, Sage & Dillon had
given him an unlimited order TO buy
A. ID. 7 Spectators naturally concluded
A. ID. T. was good purchase and rushed
in TO buy and the market for A. ID.
T. became strong and active at rapidly ris-
ing figures After having made the market
and prices by the above method, Cornell
was quietly selling all the time, his Gus
toners being largely his own friends who
purchased'on on the suppOsition he was buy
ing for himself, Gould Sage and Dillon.
Cornell had been the main pillar of A. ID.
T. up to this time, but in this transaction
ne sold out clean and started an opposition,
the Mutual District Telegraph Company,
and the price of A. ID. +. fell from 75, the
point to- which Cornell got it by the above
trick, down to 35, and he made both ways.
Gould says Cornell is understood to have
made several hundred thousand dollars in
this blind pool, and up to date he has not
accounted for his stewardship TO either
Gould, Sage or Dillon.

The Result OF the Coal Miners Strike.
PITTSBURGH, August 21.-As outlined the
past week, the strike of the Pan Handle
coal miners against a reduction from four
cents to three and half cents, ended to-
day, in their defeat, and all the strikers who
could obtain work at the reduction, went in
this morning.
The struggle has been the most protract-
ed and expensive ever known to this dis
trict In the four months and half since
the first day of April, when the men laid
down their picks, they have lost, in wages,
$3.50, 900. The operators have lost their
summer contracts, and their footing, to
some extent, in the merket and the railroad
companies hayelost very heayilyin freights.

At Homecoming.
CUMBERLAND, MD., August 2l.-Nearly
one thousand strikers congregated at Iona
coming by daylight. this morning, to pre-
vent the Georges Creek and New Central
Co.'s old miners from going to work. There
was no demonstration. Those who expect
ed to resume work, to-day, realizing their
position remained away. There is nothing
doing In this region, o-day, excepting that
the New Central Company are working
their new laborers, about eighteen, in the
KoontZ mine, to whom no resistance or
even attention was paid.
Leading knights of Labor say no work by
the old men will be allowed in this region
until their organization has formally de-
cided the strike TO be al an end.
LATER-The Knights of Labor adjourned
late, this evening, without definite action
in regard 10 the strike. 1t is said the sit,r-
alton was discussed, and it was finally
agreed to ask another conference with the
and they adjourned over until
tomorrow. when they expect an answer
from the companies, whether or not another
conference will be granted.

GOVERNOR CORNELL.
He Denies One of Gould's Statements,
But ENades the Other Charge.

SARATOGA, August Ex-Governor Cornell,
when interviewed on the subjects of the
Elevated Railroad tax bill and the American
District Telegraph blind pool said: Who
ever stated that l promised to sign the
Elevated tax bill say is a liar"
Being told that Gould says he did promise
TO sign the bill, the Governor replied:
Whoever says so tell YOU is liar. / do
not want TO get into a controversy with
Gould. 1t is sufficient for me that the peo-
pie know this man is opposed to me-"
Relative to the Governors blind pool in
American District Telegraph stock the
Governor made no response to the inquiry,
simply repeating! Whoever says that
promised 10 sign the Elevated Railroad tax
bill is liar" Without elicitiug response

tight in which two hundred and fifty of our
men, including HiGhlanders, Blue Jackets
aud Marines, brilliantly defeated twice
their number. The tight lasted from IL
O'Clock in the morning until nearly )
clock IN the afternoon.
The firing OF the Highlanders was re-
marEable for Coolness and steadiness. The
Gatlings in the top OF the gunboats worked
with admirable precision and did much
execution among the enemy, who advanced
to within lOO yards of the canal.
The success was all the more brilliant,
owing to the extremely difficult nature of
OF the country, which abOunded with low
ridges and water courses.

was no business transacted, and the session
was more of social one than otherwise.
The cause of meeting, as explained by Ser
retary Folger and Attorney General Brew
ster was, that as Secretaries Lincoln,
chandler and Folger and the President
were in New York, Secretary Frelinghuysen
in Newark and Attorney General Brewster
at Long branch, it was thought best to
meet and inquire whether anything in
either OF the departments required joint
action. Nothing OF this nature came be-
fore the meeting. Both Secretary Folger

been discussed,

disclosing well-osganized pIbt among ne
groes to kill the enore white population OF
that county. was found near one OF their
rendezvous by two. sentlemen. who laid
the matter before the solicitor. On
the 10th qaiet meeting Of
the citizens Of Mt Sterling and Butler
was called at Butler 10 consider the best
mode Of suppressirg the intended outbreak
and massacre.
After discussion il ws agread that the
following ringleaders, Jesse Wilson. Peter
Hill, Willis Leyman, Aaron Scott and
Range West to whom hnd been AssigAoA
the duties Of leading their -foopse>iys
squads TO Butler, Mount Sterling. beyoto-
vile and other places, and killing all the
whites at each place should be arrested and
lodged In Jail.
Their arrest was effected ON the I7th
without disturbance or bloodshed. The
same day mass meeting Of citizens OF ell
classes was called for Saturday ~ decide the
fate OF the prisoners.
The plot has been in existSnce since 1873,
and the conspirators now number 400.
They have powder. shot and guns. and
think themselves sufficiently strong 10 O.
complish their fiendish design.
Sunday night, the 18th Of september. had
been appointed as the date for its consum-
nation. The papers further showed ehat
this day was selected because then the white
people would be at campmecting unarmed
and could offer no resistance.
The meeting called for Sunday brought
together sbout 700 men, among whom were
about $50 negroes, who, after hearing tho
papers read, by an almost unanimous vote,
decided that Jack Turner was o turbulent
and dangerous character, . regular fire
brand in the community. and that the pub
tic demanded his immediate death.
He was accordingly hanged about It's
the same afternoon in the presence OF the
assembled multitude.
The crowd then dispersed, and all signs
of disturbance ceased. Everything VA
quiet Saturday night. The other prisoners
are still in Jail to await further develop
mcnt.
