The great majority OF them are OF the
poorest and most illiterate OF our people,
many Of them have grown old and de-
crepit. 1t seems impossible for the people
to realize that they arc to deprive or have
Loaf a portion OF their earnings, which
years ago they lSbored go bard to acquire
and save, Thousands Of them to this day
believe that dividends paid them are but
interest on, or earnings ot their deposit,
and that sooner or later their original de-
posts will be returned to them. No ex.
plaRation seems to convince them to the
contrary, and calls are made daily both
orally aud in writing for their money"
Nor ought 1t be considered strange or pn-
reasonable, in view OF all circumstances,
for these people to look to the government
for re endorsement ot their !oases.

BERLIN, Dec. 1.-THE Ea,siche Zeitung
publishes letter from. .schleiweig, in ref
erence to President Clevelaud's message.
In alluding to that part OF the message re-
gardins an apparent tendency on the part
Of the Imperial Government to extend
the scope Of the residential restrictions, TO
which returning naturali1sd citizens OF
German origin are asserted to be liable
under the laws Of the empire, the writer
says: "The German Government treats
alike regardless OF where naturalzed, all
Germans who emigrate in order to escape
military service, and then return to Ger
many. The Government will not tolerate
American or Danish colonies within its
territory. The schlesweig expulsion edlct
is warning for those liable to military
service. Those who are seized with q de-
sire to emigrate and then return to Ger
many as naturalized citizens OF another
country must take warning,

The Joint Rules.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ll.-Thesen Com
mittee on Rules held its first meeting this
morning and instructed Senator Frye, its
chairman, to report back to the Senate a
code Of joint rules for the government OF
the official intercourse between the two
Houses. The code is Identical With the
ioint code which the Senate acted upon
TWO Years, except in respect to Rule Is,
which the committee has stricken out.
Iris rule prohibits the sale Of intoxicating
LIQUORS in the Capitol building. The Sen.
ate has rule OF this kind in its own code,
and Inc committee thought 1t unnecessary
to incorporate it in the joint rules, be;
iieying the matter was one which should
be leit to the OonErol OF each House with
in It's own domain.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Dec. 1.-THE PoH'I
Altoona, Pa, special says: One Of the
most horrible accidents that has happened
in this vicinity for some time occurred
this evening at the Elizabeth furnace,
near this city. It appears that the fast

filled with incoming freights from the

rate Of speed, until near Elizabeth furnace,
when it struck two men and boy, killing
the men instantly and severely inJurinR
the boy.

from meningitis in the State prison, and
several other inmates are now down with

caused the prison authorities much un'
easiness. They have had all the inmatel
Of the women's ward, where the epidemic
began, removed TO another part Of the
prison, and are taking radical measures to
eradicate the pest. The origin Of the dis
ease is attributed to excavations being
made to put in new cells in the women

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Dec. 11.-Quiet reign
about the Monongahela Valley minei
to-day. Notwithstanding the uneali
ness felt last night there was no dis
turbance, although the strikers were
around all night, but kept at q safe dis
tance. The non-union miners at Pine
Run did not go to work until daylight this
morning, fearing a repetition of yester-
days attack. they have decided to dis
continue the night work as long rs there is
danger OF another outbreak.
At Allequippa the workmen expected
an attack during the night, and mAde
preparations to give tho mob warm recep-
ton. They were provided with repeating
rifles, and each man was given fifty rounds
OF ammunition. The strikers did not put
in an appearance, however, and this morn
ing the men went into the mines as usual.
Great excitement prevails among the
residents in the neighborhood OF these
mines, and serious trouble, perhaps blood
shed, is predicted. Sheriff Gray has sta

STILL THREATENING.
The striking miners are still encamped
on the hills near Pine Run. They did
not venture near the mines to-day and
the non-union miners were allowed to go
to and from the mines without being
molested. A feeling OF insecurity pre-
walls, however, and another outbreak is
looked for at any time. 1t is thought an
effort will be made to settle the strike by
arbitration.
Master Workman Newman, Of the
Knights OF Labor, telegraphed to Grand
