per ton and neutral brands of standard are
now quoted at $40 so cash, and S2l.O0 four
months. 1t is quite probable that num-
Der of furnaces will close down, unless the
cost of production can be materially re-
duced as the furnace men claim that it is
better to do nothing than work at loss

PITTsBURGH, January l9-Gossips were
furnished with a piece of very unusual
news, the announcement that the fortunes
of a gentleman OF 81 years and a lady 50
years his junior had been united for life.
Miss Maria Sanders and an older sister have
lived for number of years in the house
No. l32 Wylie avenue. Neither of the Ia
dies is handsome, but both are blessed
with genial dispositions, and
nent fixtures by all the children of the
neighborhood. To exc out their slender
income they rented furnished rooms to
gentlemen. A few months ago Mr.. John
Beabout, a wealthy farmer living at Ash
land, Ohio, had occasion to visit the city
and remain a week or more, Mr.. Beabout
is estimated to be worth not less than half
a million, but he has always been noted fol-
frugality. Not caring to put up with the
discomforts OF q cheap hotel, or to pay the
rates Of one of the first class, he sought ac-
commodsGons in a private family, and was
referred to the Misses Sanders.
In a few days the old gentleman gave
signs that be was
FaSorably Impressed
with the qualities of Miss Maria Sanders,
and before the close of the week was so
charmed with the comforts the sisters pro-
yided for him that instead Of returning to
his country home at the appointed time he
agreed to protract his stay indefinitely.
Having no business to engross his attention
and being quite hale for his years, he sue.
ceeded in making himself so agreeable TO
both ladies that when he finally made a
proposal of marriage il was accepted The
gentleman returned for short time to the

The Strike in JIinneapolis.

At II o'clock the dispatch announcing the
sudden death of Gen. Grant was received,
and all the brotherhood operators quietly
walked out of the Office withou making
any demonstration or saying anything of
importance. Until afternoon there was
practically nothing done II the way Of
transmitting messages. In the afternoon
Supt. McMichaels and Manager Tuttle
went to the operating room and went to
work receiving associated press dispatches.
Few business messages have been sent,
but tomorrow the outlook is more prom
ising. To reporter, Manager II. A
Tuttle made the following statement of
the status yesterday afternoon;
''Of the twenty-five operators employed
by US, Messrs. Parker, Hogan, Van Ber-
gen, Cox, Rogers, Rosebrook, Packard and
Mcguire have gone cut. There are be-
sides several night operators to hear from,
but the supposition is that they will go
ont. Miss Harris, the operator at the
Nicollet house and Miss Yaw, the East side
operator. whom we depended upon almost
to certainty, also went out, and those
stations are vacant We have Just had a
telegram from General Manager Eckhert,
informing US Of the general walk out, and
containing assurances that there were
plenty of operators ready to FIJI vacancies
at the old prices and the delay will be only
temporary. We have in this Office opera
tors sufficient to carry the most important
business and at most we will not be incon-
venienced more than couple of days"

graphers' brotherhood, and marched
through the streets to Ulrich's hall, the

also quit work, and were vociferously
cheered as they left the Western Unior
Office. Not an operator was left at the
Mutual Union Office, and only about thir.

Special Telegram to the Globe.
New YORK, July 19.-Edward Philip won
a victory to-day in his suit against Geo.
Bliss for 100000 damages for malicious
prosecution in connection with the Morey
letter. The cause of action set out in
amended complaint is twofold. 1t charges
the defendant with having maliciously
prosecuted the plaintiff upon charge of
forgery and libel before Noah Davis, a
justice of the supreme court of New York,
who, after h caring the proofs and allega-
tions of both parties in regard to the al
legged crimes, held the accused to await
the action of the grand
jury, and with having subsequently
caused the plaintiff to be indicted for
criminal libel The amended complaint
goes on to say: GA nolle prosequi of the
Indictment was entered, and since that
time the defendant has not prosecuted the
complaint or Indictment, but has aban-
doned the same" The defendant de-
INJURED to the complaint on the ground that
it does not state facts sufficient TO con-
stitute cause of action. 1t was argued
that to maintain such an action as this,
the plaintiff must establish that the prose
cution against him has terminated in his
favor; that the prosecution was malicious,
and was simply an act of a lawless mob
acting without authority. Chief Clerk
Brown, of the state department, said in
formation would probably be received to-
morrow from consul at Monterey; before
this was received it was useless to specu-
late.

At an early hour Thursday morning the
following order was issued by the head of
the Brotherhood of Telegraphers in st.
Paul:
st. PAUL, July 10. 2:10 o'clock a. NJ
Brethren, greeting The company will not
treat with our representatives. 1 am therefore
instructed TO notify you to cease work at IL
O'Clock, noon, Washington time, Thursday, July
IL, at II O'Clock a. m, st. Paul time. Stand
true and firm to your principles. Remember,
we asking only what they (the W. U J took
from US in 1878 by the infamous sliding scale
(they took 25 per cent. from us in that year,
We ara strong, and with frmness can show we
are men. Do not unlawfully act. Treat your
officials with respect and courtesy. Meet in our
hall at z o'clock p. m, sharp.
Yours Fraternally, W. NJ.
Those who were in the night service re-
Oeived the order during the night, and as
the Others came on duty in the morn
ing the order was promulgated to them.
All the day force resumed work at the morn
ing hour as though nothing important
was at hand and the work went on as usual
during the early forenoon hours. Prompt
ly at II o'clock the operators to the num-
Der of about 40 II the Western Union Office
walked out and the strike here was fully
lnaugurated. They halted few moments
on the street in the neighborhood of the
telegraph Office and then proceeded to the
corner Of Third and Cedar, where their
hall Is located. The telegraphers
and their sympathizers made
quite crowd for some time on
the street corner and then gradually dis
persed for dinner.
A short time before the operators went
out report came over the wires that Gen.
Grant had dropped dead in New York of
apoplexy. This report was entirely
false, and It was currently reported that it
was used as q device to notify the men
that quitting time had arrived. Such an
outrageous falsehood does not seem to
have been necessary in view of the order
which we quote above, something similar
to which was promulgated during Wednes-
day night in every prominent city in the
country. The telegraphers Indignantly
deny that they started the story or had
anything to do with it and the following
note has been sent the GLOBE:
To the Editor OF the Globe:
Please contradict the statement that the ru
NOR about Grants falling dead was the sigma
for the telegrapher's to strike. There was moth
ing known about the Grant rumor by the opera
tors here until long after Ii was out on the street
The operators received their instructions t
strike at II q. m. early this morning. The ru
NOR did not originate amongst them and had IL
connection with the strike whatever, and in jus
tice TO them should be c0ntradicted. Tie mem

At > o'clock in the afternoon a
meeting of the brotherhood was
held at their hall on the corner
of Third and Cedar streets. Members
had been busy IN the meantime in hunting
operators engaged in other business and
urging them not to aid the telegraph COM
pany, and reports at the meeting were to
the effect that all such who were visited
had promised not to interfere Seven
new members were also initiated and
reports were received that operators
employed in railroad offices would
refuse to do any commercial busi-
ness. One railroad operator who had
so refused was discharged but
the other operators employed by the road
in the city notified their superintendent
that if that was to be required of them
they would leave their instruments, and
their comrade was reinstated. 1t was also
reported that the telegraph superintendent
on the Northern Pacific had asked his
operators if they were willing to aid the
Western Union and they had unanimously
refused. These reports were commended
and applauded as they were made and
numerous bracing up speeches were in
