DEFENDING DRINK.

The Custom OF Drinking Socially Upheld
by the Federal Council of Berne-An Ex-
traordinary Surprise.
BERNE, September 1.-The Federal Coun-
ell has sent a blue book to the Assembly
embodying the results of an official inquiry
into the liquor traffic, induced BY petitions
sent up from various cantons for legislation
against such traffic. The petitions give
statistics which show that the consumption
of alcohol in Switzerland is greater per
head than any other country Of Europe.
Statistics also show that the consumption Of
brandy among the Swiss is increasing, and
that, parallel with this, there is an increase
Of mental disease and an increase Of misery
and want. In spite of all this, the Council
refuses to recommend restrictive legislation.
1t saws that the sales of liquor in Switzer.
land represent an annual returnof 10000
900 francs.
In one clause of the report, headed The
Advantages Of Spirituous Drinks the
Council is outspoken in defence Of social
drinking. Among other extraordinary
statements it says The practice Of social
drinking of spirituous liquor brings cheer,
full temper into society, effaces the traces Of
daily labor, opens the heart to other im,
pressions, and is intimately associated with
the developments Of public life: The pub
lie house fosters intellectual activity and as
remedy against misanthropy, egotism
vanity. narrowness of ideas, and extrava
gancc of imagination" The report has
taken the country by surprise.

SOLDIERS At COLUMBUS.

Some Miners willing to Work at the Re-
duction Until rhe Convention.
CoLCNBCS, o September 1.-The srmory
of the Fourteenth Regiment 0. y. G., is
filed with soldiers this morning awaiting
orders to proceed to the mines. A special
train arrived at noon from Delaware, bring
ing the company of guards from thatplace,
and now several hundred are in readiness to
move when necessary. Besides the reg;-
ment here, the Goyernors Guard, Duffy 5
Guard and the Columbus battalion have
been ordered out, so that the force at the
mines would be sufficient 10 quell any out
break. Governor Hosdly left for the scene
of the riot early this morning, but il
is very difficult to hold any eommu-
nication direct as the wires are all down.
No Attack.
A telegram from Buchtel at 1890 o'clock
reports no attack at that mine as the Pinker-
ton guards are strong enough to repel an
assault. But the condition at Snake Hollow
remains unchanged and more trouble Is
anticipated. The men at Murray City and
number twenty-three were working this
forenoon. The man who shot and killed
Vim. U Hare in the riot Sunday morning is
supposed to be David Woody, and he is now
under arrest and confined in the Logan couu-
ty Jail The special train bearing the Gov.
ernor arrived at Logan this morning. and
this afternoon he viii endeavor to address
the miners, but il is thought that they will
not heed his advice after II is given. Al
though there has been no disposition to
raise any disturbance to-day it is not vet
over and the miners are only waiting for
nightfall to again commence their depreds-
tions. A special to the evening Dispatch
from New Straitsville says that everything
is quiet in that vicinity, and that some OF
the miners are willing to continue work at
20 cents per ton until after the convention,
which Is to he held here on September ..
The affairs at Nelsonville and New LaNing-
ton are unchanged, Snake Hollow being the
chief troublesome district.

SOCIAL DRINKING DEFENDED.

NV YoRE, September IA torpedo boat
OF novel construction has been building for
some time at the Delaneter Iron Works
at the foot Of West Thirteenth street The
inventor, Professr J. Fl. Tuck, of San Fran
CO, has personally superintended its con-
struction, and it is understood that the Chi
nese Government has made bid Of SlK
100000 for the sole right to use the boat II
it is success. 1t is shaped like whale,
made wholly Of iron, and intended to move
either way under the water with speed Of
ten knots an hour.
The Trial.
Yesterday was set for trial of the boat,
and number of invited guests were pres
ent including representatives of the Chinese
government The boat was weighted with
iron, still attached to the big derrick, until
il sank some Ten or twelve feet under water
Professor Tuck and the electrical engineer
were inside and John Rice Of No 81 Duf'
field street. an experienced diver, stood in
the wellhole in his armor. 1t was the in.
tention. to run the boat out to the middle OF
the river and back again to show with what
facility it could be handled. When the sig
nal to cast off the lines was given it moved
out twenty or thirty feet in straight line
and then began to veer toward shore in an
uncertain manner. Its course could be
plainly traced by the onlookers by the bub
bles Of air that rose to the surface from the
diver.
Something Wrong.
As the boat sYerved from its straight
course these ceased to rise, and it was seen
on shore that something was wrong. The
order was given Immediately to lift the boat,
and BY means Of derrick it was raised TO
the surface. The diver was not in sight.
A workman leaped on its deck, and put his
hand into the well-hole shouted; He is
here dead as door-nail.'
Forthwith every effort was made to drag
The boat ashore. Professor Tuck and his
assistants stepped out and the diver was
lifted from his hole and his armor unscrewed
He did not breathe and blood ran from his
mouth. Examination showed that he had
fallen on the rubber hose that supplied him
with air and so shut off his own supply. An
army surgeon who was present gave what
assistance could be given until an ambul
ance arrived and he was taken to st. Vim
cent Hospital. There restoratives were ap-
piled that soon brought him to- and at mid
night his recovery was considered certain.

WAS HE MURDERED?

Or One OF the Mysteries of a Great City
A Tragedy in One Act.
New York, September Three men
were seen plotting an intoxicated stranger
toward Battery Park at an early hour yester-
day morning. The party who first noticed
them was James Cleasy of lis Chrystie
street, who is employed as night watchman
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
The drunken man could scarcely walk and
was almost carried by his associates.
Cleary suspected all was not right and
watched the men until they were lost in the
gloom. He recognized the three men to be
well known members of gang of thieves
styled the Stable Gang" whose depreda-
tions in the First Ward are not ofinfequent
occurrence. Seeing. that they went in the
direction 0f the Battery sea wall, it flashed
across his mind that robbery was contem.
plated.
Something Wrong. -
Nearly half an hour later he was con-
vinced that his first suspicious were correct
for the three well-knovn thieves returned
alone, and as they passed Cleary were sus
piciously counting and dividing money
The drunken stranger was no longer with
them. Feeling certain that great crime
had been committed, Cleary left his post OF
duty and sought an officer. He found Off
Ger Jordan Of the Twenty seventh Precinct
in Battery Park. and told him what he had
seen. They both then started in search OF
the inebriated stranger, but after carefully
searching the park and finding no trace OF
him started in pursuit Of the thieves.
In Custody.
After long hunt they were found in a
drinking saloon on State street and were
taken in custody. From there they were
taken to the Liberty Street Station. Upon
searching them s. 20 was found i'm their
possession. This money they could not
account for, and when questioned in regard
to it gave conflicting and unsatisfactory an
swers. When taken to the police station
they gave their names as John Ryan, Is
years old, of Brooklyn, and John Brown, l9
years old, Of 1S Washington street
Shortly after they were taken to the
Tombs Police Court, where they ware we'll
known to the police. Justice White, on
learning Of the nature of the suspicious
against them remanded them to the Church
Street Police Station until a thorough ex-
animation into the case could be made By
the police.

MAINE REPUBLICANS.

They Exhibit Alarm at the Prospects OF n
Very Greatly Decimated Majority for
Their Ticket Next Tuesday.
ArGrsrA, September l.-Mr. Blaine ar
rived here this evening. He viii remain
over Sunday. On Tuesday afternoon he
expects to attend mass meeting near Lew
istown. He may also 90 on Wednesday to
the fair at Dover, \. II.
The Republican managers say here to-
day that they have positive evidence that
the Democrats have already sent Sj5, 900
to this State, and that they are going to
send more. 1t is said that this money IS to
be used to get out the full Democratic vote,
There are many Democratic fishermen and
laborers in various parts Of the State who
could not be persuaded to turn out at an
election which is conceded in advance to
the Republicans unless they were paid for
losing their time. This is the use to which
the money now sent to the State is to be frst
applied. Ii is understood that the bulk Of the
fund.- is being concentrated in Congressman
Reeds district There need not have been
anv trouble in Reeds district if the latter
had been more polite than he has One
of the strong points OF opposition TO Reed
comes from Brunswick There are 500
Republican voters in the town. Several
months ago 400 of these men petitiODed to
have certain man appointed postmaster.
Reed ignored the petition, and therefore has
this town very bitterly opposed him in q
rery close district.
