Thousands of Men Out of Employment, but
Trade Beginning to Improve.
PITTsBURG, Jan. 4.-The number of idle men
in the city at present is unusually large, owing
to the glass strike and depression in Theron and
coal trade. An advertisement in the labor pa
per on Wednesday, for twenty coal miners clio
tied three hundred responses within twenty four
hours. A prominent labor leader claimed, TO-
day, that if he advertised for Thousand men
to work on the streets at 81. 10 per day he would
have five thousand applicants inside of a week.
Reports, however, from various iron mills in the
city show better condition of things than was
anticipated month ago. Nearly all the iron
and steel mills are running, with fair pros
poets of an increase in business during the pres
emit month. The Republic Iron Works, on the
South side, shut down for some time on account
of break, will start on Monday, with plenty of
business to keep them going steadily. The
Black Diamond Steel Works are about to lay
train of the largest rolls in the world while sew
eral other mills are working double turn.
There seems to be a growing demand for iron
and manufacturers are daily growing more hope
full. Business is increasing and the outlook is
more encouraging

INDIANA POLITICS.

Either Voorhees, Holman VIII BE the
Democratic Candidate for Governor.
Washington Special.
This afternoon l asked Commissioner of Pen
sions Dudley who he thought would be nomin-
ated Governor of Indiana by the Democrats this
spring.
EITHER Voorhees, or Holman" he quickly re
piled.
''You don't think it could be ex-Govelnor
Gray7'
''Oh, no; that is evidently not the intention of
those who control it. It is plain that they in
tend to head the State ticket with Voorhees, if
he will accept and / think he will. Gray NAV
get the second place, or it may be Holman.
They will intend to elect Voorhees, Governor,
then make him United States Senator again,
which would give the governorship to the man
elected Lieutenant governor"
why do they want to 10 away around in that
mannerp
For two reasons: They will. in making State
nominations, calculate that Mcdonald will he a
candidate for the presidency. Mcdonald is a
rank free trader. Indiana is protective tariff
State. They see something must be done 10
counteract the free-trade influence, and they
cannot do it better than by nominating Voor-
hees-a protectionist The second reason is,
they think Voorhees, will strengthen the vote
for the Legislature, and thereby strengthen
himself; as a candidate for his own successor,
there is much reason in the argument. you see"
Would Voorhees, be strong candidateF
Eyes he would run well but think Holman
would be stronger before the State at large"
Holman could not make the canvass that
Voorhees, would, could he!'
HE might not on the stump, but his career in
public life would stand Investigation better.
Holman, | think, is the best man among the
Democrats of the State who have been long in
public life. He is more consistent There is
not so much demagogy about him as others. ]
think he would really relish the nomination for
Governor, and he stands about good chance
of getting it as Voorhees,. 1t there is anything
that would carry Voorhees, through, it would be
his tariff principles, Of course His reputation
among those who have heard of, but have never
seen him, might help him some"

sixteen hours. Eleven miles southwest Of the
stockyards, on the Wabash road, stands a stock
train of twenty cars of famishing freezing live
stock. The train showed under was stalled on
Tuesday night, since which time the animals
have been without food or water. A rescuing

train, then abandoned their sleighs and walked
the remainder of the distance. The rescuing
party succeeded in reaching the snow bound train
late in the afternoon OF twenty cars of live
stock all were cattle, save two or three cars of
hogs. Some cattle were found frozen. Others,
partly frozen. were Immediately killed. The eX-
act number thus disposed of was not ascertained
The remainder of the cattle were fed and cared
for by the railroad company, which is making
every effort to bring them through. Another
large force of men was sent out to-day and Of
fered fifty cents hour. Arriving near the
train they refused to go to work, as they could
not see ten PAGES ahead for immense drifts of
snow, and returned nearly frozen. The hogs
are not suffering badly, as there happened to be
a car of corn next them which the company
used No hogs were frozen. The company
hope to bring the belated train into the yards to-
morrow. Extraordinary efforts to this end will
be made
