A report comes from Murry City, a mining
town in the Hooking valley, that on last Friday
a large number of miners determined to quit
work. The detectives employed by the syndi
cate prevented them from carrying out their
design, and fight ensued, the officers using the
butts of their rifles as weapons. Several miners
were severely hurt, but none fatally.

acting on legal advice conceived a scheme to
try and secure the State. Soon as the State
election was over thousands of tickets
bearing the names OF the national Republican
nominees, the national electoral ticket and the
Prohibition State ticket, were sent abroad
throughout the State. In the Fourth congress
sional district the name of the Republican can
didate was added This State ticket was the
finest ever voted upon in West Virginia 1t was
composed of men whose regulations are State
wide After the election it was found that
nearly two thousand of these tickets were voted
in the State. Some counties accounted for this
ticket under the head Of scattering" others
kept separate account of it, still others threw
il out. This was the case in the counties of
CabeN and Wayne, where five hundred of these
ballots were thrown aside and no mention made
of them. The originators of this ticket now
propose to move the enemy, and notice of
contest will be served on Wilson the Governor
elect, aud the case will be fought to the bitter
end. The grounds of the contest are these;
The amendment was carried the 14th of
October, therefore, the State officers voted for
that day not eligible The day of election
being changed to November 4. and the Prohi-
btion ticket being the only one voted, it is,
therefore, elected. They claim that eminent legal
authorities say that the declaration in the amend
ment was sufficient notice of election. Addition
al interest is given to the matter in the Fourth
district from the fact that the Democratic mem
Der elect has but l64 majority, while 800 Of the
Prohibition tickets with the name of the Repub-
lican candidate were thrown out The Hunting
ton Commercial says of the matter:
Here is another chance for the vindication
Of free ballot and fair count, and, until the
whole matter is thoroughly investigated, it IS
premature to announce the election of either
congressional ca ndidate Indeed, it may have a
very important bearing upon the electoral vote of
the State"
The Huntington Commercial insists upon a re
count which, it says, will elect the Republican.
1t also says the vote in the State will probably
affect the electoral ticket. The Register devotes
a column to the matter. Friends of this ticket,
represented by able attorneys, win serve notice
on the Democratic Governor7elect, and say they
will fight it to the bitter end and with good
prospects of ousting all the Democratic officers
Three of the leading attorneys in the State are
on the ticket. One is member of the Supreme
Court, another has been. and the third is the
leading light Of the West Virginia bar.

BRITISH POLITICS.
Indications of a Serious Hitch in the Proposed
Cnmnrnrnise Arrangement.

Compromise Arrangement.
LONDON, Nov. % Two things happened
in London to-day which have set the
politicians specializing. Lord Sails bury, the
leader of the Tory peers and Sir Stat
ford Northcote, the Conservative Moses of the
Commons, somewhat ostentatiously went to-
gether to Mr.. Gladstone's official residence in
Downing street. There was Cabinet council
in session there at the time, and it was soon
ascertained that the two distinguished visitors
had been invited to the conference to discuss the
terms of the proposed compromise on the fran
chise bill. What transpired in the conference
has not been made public, but it is believed that
a curious hitch occurred. The only publicly
known outcome of the meeting is that as
result of it the Prime Minister Immediately
after FASTENED out to the country residence of
the Right Hon George j. Goschen. present
Liberal member for Ripon. at Seacoxheath-
Hawkhurst AS MIR. Goschen is conspicuous as
the most earnest promoter of the proposed
compromise, it is inferred that Mr. Glad
stones visit to him WAS made for the pur
pose of securing his consent to some new
concession demand ed by the Conservatives,
Hence it is argued tonight that the Lords have
secured some vantage ground, and that the gov
eminent may yet be compelled to pledge itself
satisfactorily to the Conservatives in the matter
of the redistribution bill. One thing is very ap-
parent, and that is. both parties to the eontro-
versy absolutely distrust each other. The Con-
sentative lords pledge themselves to pass the
franchise bill if the government will simulta-
neously introduce and help pass in the Com
mons satisfactory redistribution bill, or pledge
themselves to subsequently introduce and help
pass such bill The government are willing to
make this promise, but the Lords won't take
promise unless it either put in writing made
irrevocable in some other satisfactory way. The
government on the other hand, hesitates to act
on the promise of the Lords, unless it is put in
writing or pledged in some secure manner
From this 1t can easily be seen that the dead
lock, being the product of mutual fear and dis
trust, is one of extremely doubtful issue.

A CALL ON CLEVELAND.
MIR. Hendricks Visits the President-E,ect and

From the Journal Of Sunday.
New YORK, Nov 22.-Vice- president-elect

changes went on the same train to pay their re-
spects to Cleveland.
On his return from Albany this evening Vice
president-elect Hendricks said TO AN Associated

interview with him. which occurred last sum

ment it has been the most remarkable ever
fought for the presidency"

In modest-looking house on Superior street
IN this city resides a lady who, in the course of
the next four years, may occupy the position of
first lady in the land. Her name is Mrs. N. B.
Bacon. She is sister of President-elect Cleve-
land Your correspondent called on Mrs. Bacon
this morning, and found her modest, fne-look-
ing lady, and most entertaining conversation
allst She was shown a New York dispatch
which stated that her sister, Mrs Hoyt who
was with the Governor in Albany, would proba
bly, take charge Of the White House. ''Thersj
is no truth in the dispatch" she said ''Noth-
ing has been settled on as yet. Mrs. Hoyt has
family to care for, and can hardly leave AL
bany."

thenY Your brother is not going to follow Dan
Mannings example and get married"
''Oh, no; that is not at all likely. l think
my sister Elizabeth will attend to the hospital
tiles of the White House. She is unmarried,
can leave home and ought to be with Grover"
She is accomplishedg
Yes, indeed. She is now engaged in deliver
ing historical lectures to educational institions,
so you see she is certainly well informed. Our
father gave us all the best education in his
power"
'Is your sister socially inclined7n

our books, and had no time for society, when We
were young"

cept Elizabeth"
Perhaps you may live at the White House

'That is possible, although have a family Of
three girls, and it would be difficult for me to
leave them. / shall go to Washington to attend
the Inauguration of my brother and will re-
main several months-untl everything is settled
at the White House under my direction As I
said before, everything is too undecided, as yet,
as to what will be done, but l think Elizabeth
will be placed in charge of my brothers house

Mrs. Bacon is not society lady in any sense
of the word. She is devoted to her family and
her friends. If called to Washington she will
grace the position and be universal favorite.

and the financial world is in a chaotic condition
and there is no hope for betterment for months
to come; for even should the Democrats conclude
to go back their lifetime policy Of free
trade which is highly improbable. things
must hang up by the gas for months before
that can be ascertained or the reverse. Mean
while capital, of which there is plenty, and en-
terprlse which springs eternal in the American
breast must turn in some other direction than
manufacturing, and seek employment in other
channels, and labor must do the same. We must
look to the far West to its attractions to its
resources to the channels it presents for invest
ment, labor, enterprise and profit 1t might be
safe to predict a present boom in mining opera
tons, public lands transactions, cattle ranching,
irrigating schemes and kindred enterprises
Senator Miller good authority, has the fol
lowing to say on the business interests of the
country:
at lthe eleetion will undoubtedly have a de-
pressing effect for some time because of the fact
that the great manufacturing interests are
alarmed, fearing that we are to have free trade.
They Will hesitate and decline to enter into
new enterprises, OF erect new works, or continue
new schemes only just entered upon. This will
result in the stoppage of all new work and the
closing of many mills and factories temporarily
The fact which should at once be i'm pressed on
the minds of the business portion Of the commu
nifty is that the Democrats cannot materially
change the tariff under two years from next
March, and not even then unless they secure a
majority in the Senate After brief period of
depression and consumption of stocks of goods
now in hand, there will be revival of business.
The great trouble with business men
now is that there is no certainty as to
what the Democrats will do, or attempt to Go.
The Democratic party is divided on every great
public questiOn-on the tariff. on banking on
the currency 1t has no definitely defined
principle OF course not knowing what it will
do business men don't know what 70 do. A halt
is called all along the line Capitalists are not
going to invest while there is danger of change
of all our tariff and fiscal laws Not least of the
sufferers by this uncertainty VIII be the South.
| think Democratic success viii be great dam
of Northern capital that were flowing in there to
develop the mines and other resources North
capital viii want to See what the Democrats
of the South propose to do now that they have
acquired the possession of the government by
arts which they lost by arms. Our people have
gone in there very slowly with great hesitancy
and distrust. Now they will wait to see what
the Southern people propose for their future
