Mysterious Murder.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 6.-The body of
John Harrington, an Irish laborer, was dis
covered in an unoccupied store on Main
street near the river, to-day He was lying
as he had fallen, with his knees bent as If he
had been kneeling before he received his
death blow, with his hands clasped as if in
prayer. His hair was dabbled with blood,
which trickled in a thin stream from small
hole in the back of his head. About the
middle of his forehead was another wound,
which had crushed in the bone. This wound,
of itself, would have caused death. From
appearances he had been dead for several
hours. He had been struck with a piece of
iron. There is no clue to the murderer.

Manager Norton,s Benefit

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 6.-The benefit to
Manager John w. Norton at the Olympic
theater tonight was the most brilliant and
notable event that has occurred here in a

beneficiary. The performance opened with
an act in Camille by Grace Hawthorne, and
this was followed by an act from Miss

HEAVY STORM.
Terrific Wind and Rain Storm in the
East-Much Damage Done.

PITTsBURG, Dec GA critic wind and
rain storm passed over western Pennsyl-
yania at O'Clock this evening, and although
it lasted but few minutes great damage TO
property was done. In this city the teIe-
graph wires, swinging signs, ehimneys, etc,
suffered severely. One sign four feet wide
and covering the entire length Of business
block on Seventh avenue was carried away,
falling on a woman named Pfaff and her two
children, Willie, aged six, and Gertie,
three years old, who accompanied
her. The boy was killed instantly, and the
mother and little girl seriously, but it is
thought not fatally injured. There were
rumors Of accidents in other parts OF this
city and Allegheny, but nothing definite Is
yet received. At Greensburg, West More
land county, the roof of the court house. was
carried OF, but no one injured. No reports
Of damage is received srom other towns.
The wires are down in all directions and
telegraph companies are experiencing great
difficulty in handling business.
NEy YORK, Dec. 6-Pedestrians out last
evening realized that one Of the seyerest
storms Of the season was raging over the
city, and those whom kind fortune kept in
doors could congratulate themselves with the
reason. II began TO rain about . O'Clock, and
continued steadily during the afternoon and
evening. At the wind increased in velO-
city and was blowing a gale over the house
tops, while it seurried through the streets in
sheets that ratified against the windows an
buildings with great force. The streets were
swept clean and the payments fairly secured.
The effect OF the storm In this city was
marked. The streets became deserted after
$ p. m. and even the BOwery, which is gen.
orally thronged all night Saturdays. was as
dreary a side street, while electric lights
and Illuminated signs called but few visitors
within the doors over which they shed their
glare. The theatres suffered from the storm,
and the usual large Saturday night audiences
were wanting. The Tinles notes the trouble
with telegraph wires, and adds that all prin-
eipal points were reached, however, through
roundabout routes, from northern circuits.
Little trouble is reported from wires near this
city. The low lands about town are sub
merged, and many cellars along the river
streets flooded

We sometimes see at the doorstep of some
house the word ''Welcomer imbedded in the
rock or on a foot-mat. 1t is pleasant to be
so cordially and promptly invited within, but
we must divide this gushing hospitality with
the merest wayfarer, the peddler and the

and for US only, what a different train of
thought il would suggest. But a hospitality
so broad overleaps itself and loses its subtle

is, neither love, friendship nor religion can

New YORK, Dec. 6.-Tbe stock market
opened weak. all of the active stocks register
ing decline Of from 54ta% per cent. The
principal bear influence was the announce
ment that the Reading refused TO stand with
the coal combination and restrict produc-
ton in order to keep prices up by limiting
the amount Of production. The coal combi-
nation has heretofore been able TO keep the
price steady, while everything else has de-
clined one-third. The tone Of the market
was weak, and it was rumored that the bull
syndicate Of room traders, find
ing the public unwilling TO buy
at present prices, have begun selling
TO each other. Mr.. White was large seller
of Lackawanna. Mr.. Elliott and Mr.. Bell
forced the fight in st. Paul, and Drezel,
Morgan d Co. were very bullish. They are
credited with having been the bankers in the
recent rise Of the New York Central, their
object being to sell the new issue of deben-
ture bonds. 1t is announced, on what is
deemed good authority, that Lake Shore viii
pass its next dividend, and bets were offered
to-day that the stock would sell down ten
points before it sold up five points.
New York Central officials tell their
friends that the road earned at the
rate of IL per cent. on its stock
for the quarter ending Foy. 30. 1t is re-
ported that the company has succeeded in
borrowing s., 1000, 600 in London. D. o.
Mills says the company has borrowed money
for current expenses, but no large amount
has been borrowed recently, and he is not
aware that the company has need TO borrow.
Mr.. Mills denied that he ever considered the
matter Of lending the company 100000
if they raised $4,000, DOC elsewhere. A
marked advance was the characteristic Of
New York Central and Lake Shore, while
the grangers and coal stocks were decidedly
weak. The bull influence in New York
Central was the announcement Of guaranty
that its next quarterly dividend would be IL
per cent. Toward the middle the market
improved, and though there was not much
activity prices were well sustained. Della
ware q Hudson went down with Delaware d
Lackawanna, and it was reported that the
clique in the latter had disbanded. st. Paul
preferred dropped TO 1O7 and Illinois Central
sold at 12O. Manhattan elevated was active
and higher. The light weights we're entirely
neglected About O'Clock Delaware d
Lackawanna broke below Jog, and carried
the balance with it. The market was ex-
ceedingy dull at the finish, with but little
disposition shown TO operate by either side.

The Striking Hatters.

SOUTH NoRwALK, Ct, Dec. with the
striking matters the situation to-day is I'M
changed. The leaders disclaim the men are
bent on any breach of peace and will partic-
ipate in none if it is possible to avoid. AL
though they seem disposed to prevent if pos
sible any hands from outside towns taking
their places. Sheriff Schwartz expresses him
self confident of maintaining order without
the necessity of calling in the troops, as has
been reported will be done. Gen. Smith, of
the National guards, and Col. Watson, of the
Fourth regiment, have no appre-
hension that the militia will be called out
and fear no trouble that will necessitate
such action. 1t is reported that Gen. Waller
will visit the scene Of the disturbance. Dur
ing the day, streets were full of idle men, and
crowds of them are watching the trains for
outside workmen, but as general thing the
men are quiet and orderly up to this writing.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Dec. 6.-The execu-
tive committee of the Hatters' union at
Norwalk declared this afternoon the strikers
had no other object in view than that OF pro-
tecting their rights. 1t now turns out the
call for troops last night was made in the
heat of excitement and without warrant.

Dividends Declared

NEW YORK, Dec. 6. The Post in a fnan-

and that the same will be announced here

More Gold Discovered in Minnesota.
Special TELEGRAM 70 the Globe.l


DULUTH, Mimi, Dec. 6.-For more than
six months mining excitemant Of greater or
less degree has existed in Duluth and other
places in regard to gold and silver on the
north shore Of Lake Superior, between
Duluth and Pigeon river. just now the ex-
element is at fever heat aud intensifyiug
In the past few months explorers have been
travelling all over the region, exploring for
precious metals, and up to date over 80, 900
acres OF public land has been bought. The
heaviest buyers have been Emery Bros, of
Bay City, Mich, and other Michigan parties.
Emery Bros. have over $4,000 acres. The
greatest Interest is in the extreme northern
portion OF Lake county, adjoining the Can
adam border. The largest and most prom
ising deposits of gold have been
found there. 1t is said that G.. Stew
ems, of Michigan, and Geo. F. Ash,
Of the city, went to town 64, range 90, section
"a, and found considerable pyrites Of gold
and copper. This led them to suspect the
presence of gold and silver. and after further
search they came to rock which certainly
contained gold. Samples were brought back
and sent 10 an assayer Of East Tawas, Mich.
The first specimen essayed S735 TO the ton,
the second the extraordinary figure of 50, $40.
Now no day passes without new entries Of
land in the region. The country is rough.
rocky and broken up by innumerable small
lakes, and extends through several town
ships. The new discoveries are on q line
with Rabbit Mountain, from which large
quantities of silver ore have been taken.
Sufficient is known to show that gold exists,
and probably in paying quan titles. Samples
taken to Ann Arbor, Michigan, assayed from
81, 46S to 81, 5O6.42 ton, and others sent to
St Paul assayed from S4OO to 5000 a ton. A
