THE OFFICIAL SUNSET.
1t will Conform to the New Time and
Occur Four Minutes Later.


At Governors Island, the picturesque
and famous spot where the sun is
made to 90 down daily with a big bang at
the nations expense, there has been
some little confusion of opinion as to how
the piece of ordnance that utters the
bang would be affected by the new time
system. BY a regulation of the War De-
paTtment, the operation of the gun must
be carried out by the Corporal of the
guard. There are many COrpOTals of the
guard on Governors Island, and the
salute is accomplished in this way:
One Corporal Of the guard, as noon
draws near, fixes his eve upon the West
ern Union time ball, which can be dis
cerned with the unaSsisted human eye
from the guard house. When the ball
falls the Corporal says as much to another
Corporal, who instantly sets the guard
house clock. The second Corporal
then tells a third Corporal to set all
the clocks on the island. While
the third Corporal is setting all
the clocks the second Corporal hunts up
the hour provided TOR sunset in the
almanac, and writes it down on slip of
paper. 4 fourth Corporal carries this
slip to a fifth Corporal ut Castle William.
The fifth Corporal waits until his clock,
as corrected by the third Corporal, marks
the hour designated on the slip Of paper
furnished by the second Corporal, and
then gives signal to a sixth Corporal,
whereupOn a bUgle is blown, the gun is
discharged, and the sun has been gone
down officially.
Thirteen handsomely uniformed Cover
nor's Island COrporals, who were ad-
dressed by the reporter yesterday, said
cheerfully: 'Oh, it's the other Corporal
who knows all about that" A fourteenth
Corporal smiled decOrOusly and said: "On
Sunday and thereafter the gun will 20 of
four minutes later than it has been doing"
i venerable Battery waterman, with an
exceedingly handsome nose, was asked
by the reporter if the new time would
affect the tides.

pended Opun ther changes ur the moon

STRIKING MINERS TURN BRUTEs
A Superintendent Beaten and Kicked
by "a Mob after their Parade.


CHICAGO, Nov. 18.-A special dispatch
from Norways Michigan, says THAT yester-
day the men at the Ludington mine joined
the Chaplin mine strikers at Iron Noun
tain and, with brass band, paraded the
streets, 1,000strong, until they were forced
to disperse by the cold weather. Four
hundred then surrounded Superintendent
StOckbridge, of Ludington mine, and upon
his refusal to yield to their demands
attacked, kicked and beat him until he
promised them anything they wanted.
The mob then started in search of Super
intendent Cady of the Chaplin nine, but
he had left for Milwaukee. The men
threaten unless their demands are con-
ceded that they will compel the stOppage
of the pumps at the Chaplin mines and
allow them to be flooded. All the saloons
are closed and the local police are power
less. 1t is probable that one or more
companies Of the State militia will be
called out. The county Sheriff had been
sent for

Those Democratic Congressman who

The statement which appeared in last
weeks contemporary that Mrs. Mackey.
the wife of the bonanza silver king. was
the largest bidder for the Porter Rhodes
diamond is utterly without foundation.
1t is true that Mr.. Porter Rhodes, in com
Pahy with the Nari correspondent of
London daily newspaper, went TO No. 9
Rue Tilsit to show the diamond to Mrs.
Mackey, but nothing transpired as
TO possible purchase, although the
lady III question likes handsome
