legislation for the protection of the weak against
competition, and organization of workngnen,
who should be united and disciplined.
Resolved, That it is the duty of workingmen
to direct their efforts against unjust laws which
render organization of labor impossible aud
hinder international Legislation, which is 80
necessary to anieliorate the condition of the

"sALTING" A COAL MINE.
The Ohio Niue Inspector Gives His Opinion
of an Alleged Coal Find.

AKRON, Oct. 30.-In reference to the al
legged coal find between Clinton and Canal
Fulton, Ohio, State Mine Inspector Roy
says: ~ have been shown some of the coal
which the drillers claim to have struck. 1t
is not albertite, as Prof. Orton suggested,
nor is it the lower coal of the State SERIES as
claimed by local experts, but pure anthracite
coal, of the Pennsylvania quality. Further
more the specimens shown me were mined,
/ firmly believe, in the anthracite region of
Pennsylvania. do not wish to be under
stood as charging tue drillers with
having stuffed the hole They
may be, probably are, perfectly
innocent-but somebody has salted it,
The very best evidence in the world that
this coal was never drilled is the size of the
pieces When solid seam of coal is drilled
through it is ground as fine as oat meal by
the action OF the drill. In this case pieces as
large as your thumb point were pumped out.
This is always the case where a hole is
stuffed The salters' stuff the hole with
small pieces, such as will readily tall to the
bottom, but much rounder than true borings
ground mp by the drill. Furthermore, the
chemical analysis of the borings, giving 80
per cent. carbon, proves the coal to be an
thracite. for no bituminous coal in Ohio or
elsewhere contains anything near this
amount of carbon. But aside from the anal
ysis, the judging eye of good mining expert
would at cnce decide its quality"

A DIVIDED NUNNERY.
Three Sisters Sever Their Connection with
a Cleveland Sisterhood.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 31-The Leader of this
man Catholic Bishop of Cleveland and the
nuns of his diocese have resulted in the de-
termination on the part of number of the
Sisters of st. Vincent de Paul to revolt
against his abitrary attempts to govern
them. The difficulty originally grew out of
the troubles at St. Vincent's, or Charity Hos
pital, which have continued during the past
four or five years. Bishop Rappe gave to
the Sisters deed of the property on which
their nunnery is located, and ever since that
time they have held these premises
and their other property in their
own name The Sisters also had a
right to choose a new Mother Superior once
in three years, none of the Sisters being eli
gible to hold this office for more than two
terms of three years each. They were thus
Independent of the Bishop, and bound only
by the rules of their order, which they swore
to obey when they took the veil. Their
rights to elect their Mother Superior and to
hold their property had always been re-
spected until Bishop Gilmour attempted to
take from them all their rights, coerce them
and make them recognize in him master
Gilmour made new rules for their govern
ment both in the nunnery and at the hos
pital, which was an act unprecedented in the
history of the slsterhood. Further than this
he endeavored to force them to exc
cute to him deed of their. premises
This they absolutely refused to do
As result of this, the mutiny among the
sisters has increased. They hold that they
are not bound to obey the rules laid down by
the Bishop, and do not propose to place
themselves entirely in his power by giving
him their property. While this spirit of
dissatisfaction prevails among many of the
nuns, there are some who deem it proper
and right to kiss the hand that smites them,
and would be willing to accede to any re-
quest or obey any order coming from the
Bishop.
Within the past two days rumor has
been circulated to the effect that number
of the nuns had packed their few worldly
effects, gathered together as much of tho
property of the sisterhood as possible and
hied themselves to parts unknown. One
version of the story is that they have
gone into another diocese to start a
new nunnery, while another is that
they have gone to Europe, taking
with them sufficient amount of the nun
merry property to support them for some
time. 1t is difficult to learn how much truth
there is in these stories, as any knowledge
of the facts regarding the flight is, of course,
held only by the Roman Catholics, who will
not expose the weakness of their institutions
or the faults of their Bishop. The Bishop
will, it is understood, within a few days
commence an action in court against the
Sisters.
Referring to this report, Bishop Gilmour
says: "Three sisters have left st. Joseph's
Hospital and returned to their families.
They have done so after years of dissatisfac-
'tion at their duties and the responsibilities
they assumed, and at their own wishes. They
have simDlv aavared their cOunectiOn with

General-I have submitted to the President
your letter of the Sth inst, requesting that you

BooNvILLE, Oct. 3I.-One OF the largest
and most important raids of secret-service
officers, for years, was inaugurated this after
noon by the arrest at a small station on the
Louisville Evansville & st. Louis road
known as Blind Tiger, twenty-five
miles above Evansville, OF coun-
terfeiter named Zmey Render, a member
of one of the most skilled and dangerous
counterfeiting gangs that the detectives have
ever discovered. General r. s. Foster
United States marshal, with nine deputies
and E. A. Abbott, of the secret service with
three deputies, are now in the country sur
rounding here, and before tomorrow morn
ing will probably arrest ten more members
OF the gang Detectives have been working
on the case FORTH lasr nine months 1t is
expected there will be some trouble in max
ing the arrests, as the counterfeiters are all
dangerous men, and if given any opportuni-
ty will make desperate resistance. They
have been operating in this section
of country for the last two years, and
have manufactured thousands of dollars of
counterfeit coins. The denominations of
spurious money have been half-dolars and
dollars in silver and two-and-a-half and
five-dollar gold pieces, Their operations
have extended into neighhoring States, and
the business of man ufacturing spurious coin
has been conducted on large scale. 1t is
believed that all the members OF the gang in
this section will be captured during the
night, and the officers who are divided into
several parties, are expected to meet here to-
morrow morning with the prisoners The
workshop of the counterfeiters is located
among the hills below New Albany, and the
man who does most OF the work is a profess
sional criminal who has served several terms
in the penitentiary There are portfolios in
the house covering all approaches, and Win
chester rifles are kept in readiness for use at
any time. 1t will be impossible to capture
the occupants without trouble
