CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 21.-
About q Jear ago, Hansen Walker,
twenty years old, daughter of a man
of wealth and social standing, ran
away from her home in Waterford,
West Virginia, with John Ash, q
negro servant III the family, fifteen
to twenty years her senior, phys
ically crippled and of senior appear
ance. The two were quietly married
here. Subsequently the father
tracked his daughter here, found her
living here alone and serving as a
domestic in q private family. he
fnally prevailed on her to return
home and later entered . suit here
to have the marriage contract an
nulIed. Tamsen's affidavit states
that Ash, by reason of having care
of her when q chlld, obtained an in
fuence over her and by means of
this and by threats accomplished her
ruin. Fearing herself about to be-
come a mother she consented to elope,
and be married, but Immediately
after the ceremony left aud refused
to live with him. Ash, in his answer
claimed their relations were sought
by Tamsen; that the marriage was at
her instance; that she is under
duress and if left to follow her incIi-
nations would remain his wife. The
pleas court to-day after
hearing the case annulled the mar
riage contract.

Hard Times.

FALL RIVER, Nov. 81. -Early in
the week manufacturers feared they
would have to shut down the mills
next week again. During the week,
however, the market assumed q
strong tone and the mills will all run
next week except Thanksgiving day.
1t is the general opinion Of manufac-
turers that more shut downs will
have to be made and that the coming
winter will necessarily be q hard one
for operatives. Manufacturers said
yesterday a reduction of ten per cent
in the wages of operatives would un-
doubtedly be made before January
LIST, unless a material change occurs
in the condition of the markets.
BOSTON, Nov. q. Rumors are
current of q contemplated shutting
down of the worsted mill OF the Big
low carpet company at Clinton, and
putting on half time the weaving
mill.
The Wareham iron company's
works,at South Wareham shut down
for an indefinite period, and the
Franconia iron and steel works have
again suspended operations. The
Andr0sc0ggin pump company an
nounces either suspension of work or
a cutting of wages.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 21.-Nearly
all the ingram carpet mills closed to-
day owing to q refusal of the power
loom weavers to accept the proposed
reduction of wages to 20 cents.

postmaster at New York, which that
worthy could call . second order, not
to let the postoffice be closed, and
which Hatt0n could afterwards claim
was permission for the emploves to
vote. The facts, as we'll known In
New York, are that the employees did
not get permission to vote nor per-
mission OF enough time in which to
vote. It was also asserted to be true
that enough of them that were thus
deprived of the time to vote were
kept from voting to have given
Blaine 3 plurality in the State of
New York and elected him Presi-
dent. Mr.. Hatt0n's letter of evasion
has the argument of not denying in
fact the essential truth of my state
ment. That he quotes this SHOWS q
shrewdness worthy of q Postmaster
General, for when he was in Iowa
the last day before election he told
several persons. among them q lead
ing Democrat of the city of Mount
Pleasant that he intended to keep the
New York postofice open On election
day. In talking to this Democratic
gentleman he said, with his thumbs
twirling gaily in the armhOles of his
waistcoat. II am q civil service
reformer this year and do
not intend to let the public business
be interferred with by politics." and
the accent on the words this year"
are reported by the Democrat to
have been beautiful in their melody
and significance. Mr.. Hatton is
noted most and most beloved by his
admirers, of whom I am one, for his
general golden quality of frankness.
The dignities and necessities of court
life e already to have made him
diplomatic enough to deserve an
accomplished degree. The gentle
man is kind enough to suggest
that MI. Elkins or Mr.. Clarkson
might have done as the Postmaster
General had either been in his place.
[ do not know how much of the law
Mr.. Elklns or myself might have
stopped to hunt up, but I may freely
say that I AM sure either of US
would have hunted up q great many
more opportunities to help the Re.
publican party during the campaign
than Postmaster General Hatton
seemed able to find. Hatton also
grossly gives the important in
fOrmstion that I did not, in his
opinion, give all the reasons for
Mr.. Blaine's defeat. I have no doubt
of this. Doubtless Mr.. Hatton and
President Arthur both know OF q
number of agencies employed to de-
feat the party ticket that neither L.
nor any one else knows, or ever will
know.

Gold Bluff Mine,

Independent, 10: Mr.. T. G.. Mer-
rill leaves Helena this morning for
his new mine at Gold Bluff on Trout
Creek. Messrs. Merrill and ToOker
have put IN a ten stamp mill, and
have been running since last Satur-
day. Within the last twenty days
about 200 tons have been taken out,
and they have now enough in sight
to keep them running for two y ears.
The firm has three free gold veins.
The ore that they are working at
present is Gold Bluff. They have
the finest water power in TIE Terri
tory The saving in steam by taking
advantage of the water power is
quite an income of itself. Another
advantage is the fact that the water
comes from sprin. 8, aod the stream
seldom If ever freezes over.

In renting their rink one day in the

az act of injustice to those who de-
sire to take their exercise on rollers
every evening. This called out q
reply from the Elite Club, which
was inserted at the usual advertising
rates and accompanied by satisfactory
assurances of payment. This letter
was followed by q longer article from
the evidently mythical J. A. O'Con-
nor which Was not accompanied by
cash or by the necessary assurance
of payment for composition, space
and labor. We did not mention
this fact in the MINER of yesterday

intimated that Nj. j. A. y G., should

celving the gentleman we received a
letter from him last evening, tn, Ough
the postoffice, in which we were
taken to task for not publishing mis-
lengthy communication. He now
knows the reason it did not appear

This controversy about who shall
or shall not skate upon the same

terest to the general reader. The
right of any man or set of men to
hire or build a rink and use it for his
or their especial benefit IS uDques-
TONED and is quite ., legitimate as
for a party to hire q hall, give a ball
and permit only invited guests to
dance. This is q free country and
there is no law to prevent J. A. O'C. or
any other man, or q set OF men from
renting q rink and exclude all from
TIE floor whose presence is d~istasteful
to him or them. Can J. A. O'C. see
the point?
