| cute these under the Conspiracy Act passed
| by Congress some thirty years ago. Presi-
| dent Greene, of the Hooking Valley, is OF
| the opinion that there will be no more In
i timidation. as the arrests will be pushed TO
i the furthest extent. The three bridges
| burned will be ready for the trains to pass
Tomorrow, when three additional mines
| will be opened. The output, it is thought,
| will soon reach the point 1t was before the
strike began, and it is thought large num-
| Der of the old miners will return to work
December 1st when they learn that they
| will be protected from the lawless element.
The companies, however, say they will not
| discharge any new miners to give place to
| the old. All the mines in the valley are
now being opened at 90 cents q ton.
SECOND DISPATCH.l
| COLUMBUS (O0, November 26th.-One of
| the hoppers at Straitsville was fired about
o'clecks this evening, and a crowd of men
| refused to let the citizens put it out. The
| Fire Department was called out, but did
| nothing, when finally one man rushed in,
| followed by others, and the flames were eX-
| tinguished. Several shots were fired to in
| timidate those who wanted to put the fire
out. All the mines at Straitsville are
closed, and the company is holding the
county responsible for the damage to their
property.
| Another Bank Failure.
| MIDDLETowN On j. November 2Sth.-
The Middletown National Bank has failed.
Its doors were closed this morning. The
| failure was caused by President Thomas
| King, who accepted a large draft from Ben
| jamin D. Brown, a grain dealer of Indian
apolis and Burlington, without security.
| Brown has made an assignment. The
banks capital is 100000; surplus, S115,
| 600. The extent of the loss is not known
yet definitely. The depositors will lose
nothing. President King takes all the
blame on himself His recent advances
were made without the knowledge of the
| other officers and Directors of the bank.
| The Bank Examiner is on the way from
| Washington There was a slight run on
the savings bank here but the latter is in
no way involved.
| SECOND DISPATCH.l
| MrDDLErowN, November 2Sth.-Bank Ex-
aminer George T. Way, of Washington, is
now in possession of the Middletown Ma
tional Bank President King takes all the
| blame on himself In July last the Direct
ors notified King that Browns credit must
not be extended, but reduced. King dis
obeyed the instructions and broke the
bank. A record of the acceptances Of
Browns drafts on the bank was kept by
King in book in his possession, and con-
| cealed from the other officers. So far as
known, more than 5000, 900 of such accept
ances are out. 1t is the opinion of the best
| informed that the'entire capital and surplus
will be wiped out A run ON the savings
banks here drew $4,000 to-day. The bank
is solvent, and ready for any emergency.
President King is at home, very i'll. 1t is
| not thought here that he has profited by
/ the crooked transactions, but that he was
infatuated with Brown. Browns opera
tons were very heavy, as much as half
million of his paper being handled by the
bank in a single week.
Bristow Mentioned for the Treasury
Portfolio.
] WASHINGTON, November 29th.-A West
ern Democratic Congressman said to-day :
| should not be at all surprised if Gov
ernor Cleveland offered the Treasury
Department TO ex-Secretary B. II. Bristow
| should be extremely glad 10 have him do
it. 1t would make a good impression on
the country. He would have nothing to
learn about the Treasury; or, in other
words, would not be dependent upon sub
ordinates who are already in. as new man
must inevitably be fora while. If Bristow
were appointed the country would know
exactly what kind of an Administration it
was to have. Whether Bristow would feel
like abandoning his law business I don't
know. He is not a rich man, and he would
sacrifice good deal by returning to politics.

Beecher on the Chinese.
NEW YORK, November 2Sth-Beecher. in
his sermon yesterday, said To-day | see
men that ScOrn The Chinese. Some, be-
cause they are competitors i'll the labor
market; some, because to do it will win
them votes, and some, because the old
bestiality Of human nature in the animal
kingdom allows the newcomers TO feel the
horns Of the old residents. What an outcry
there has been about the immigration of
the Chinese. Stop your noise, said Beech
er, suddenly, . or stop Your nation. If
when the Chinese are brought into Ameri-
ca amid her churches and schools, they
are not tolerated, but are followed down
the street with violence and by mobs, do
not send such Christianity to the Chinese
Empire. l do not wonder that the Chinese
refuse the Christian religion which en-
lightens them. In San Francisco and
Denver, in every city between the Missis-
sippi and the Atlantic, there are faithful
women who gather up these poor,creatures,
bring them to better light and nobler re-
ception. | mark this as wholesome point
in the growth OF the liberty of the people
and if these foreigners would but leave
their garments at home, and wear ours
they would find the way much easier"
