DEM ORALIzING THE MILLS,
Iron Manufacturers Allowing the
Fires to go Out.
Effect of the Pittsburg Scale Being
Very Generally Felt.

CINCINNATI, O., May 31-The situation
here among the iron manufacturers is
simply that of following the lead of the
Pittsburg manufacturers act, deciding as
they have done not only not to sign the
scale as presented by the Anal
gamated association, but also to de-
mand reduction from the present
scale of wages. AS neither side has yielded
and the contract year has expired, ali the
mills in this vicinity will be closed to-
morrow morning. There are no exceptional
cases. such as at Pittsburg and Wheeling,
where the demands of the workmen will be
complied with, and the shutting down will
be general.
REFUSE TO SIGN.
WHEELING, w. Va, May 31.-LaSt
night all the iron and nail mills in this city
and vicinity shut down for an indefinite
time. The owners of the Bellaire rolling
mill signed the scale of the union, but it is
understood they will not run.
Other mills refuse to sign
either the Amalgamated scale or the United
Nailers' scale. Both sides seem firm and a
long strike seems inevitable. The nail fac
tories in and contiguous to Wheeling num-
Der seven, including the Mingo o., mills,
with Office here, one bar mill, two sheet
mills and one bar and sheet combined.
About twenty-five hundred men are thrown
out of employment by the stoppage.
NO DEVELOPMENTS.
ST. LOUIS, May 31.--The Belleville Nail
mill and the Western Nail works. at Belle
vile, H., shut downlast evening, in accord
ance with the arrangement agreed upon at
the recent meeting of the Western Nail
association. The new Pittsburg scale has
not arrived here and therefore no action
has been taken by the manufacturers. II
is expected tomorrow, however, when there
will be probably some developments among
the mill-men.
JUBILANT WORKMEN.
CLEVELAND, O., May 31.-With the ex-
ception of the proprietor of the Russia mill
at Niles, O., none of the iron manufacturers
of the Mahoning valley having yet signed the
Amalgamated association scale. The mel
employed at the five mills in Youngstawn,
and one in Girard, quit work at IL O'Clock
last night. The manufacturers have not
absolutely refused to sign, simply giving
evasive answers to the workingmen.
The latter are jubilant over the success OF
the association at Pittsburg, and assert
that the Mahoning valley operators will sign
within week. The fires in the Russia
mill. at Niles, were lighted tonight and
all the men returned to work.
THE. FIRES GO OUT.
CHICAGO, May 31.-Last night the fire
in the furnaces of the Calumet Iron &
Steel company at Cummings, near South
Chicago, were allowed to go out. and it is
understood they are not likely to be
relit for some days, perhaps weeks. The
shutdown is partly owing to the dull times,
but is the direct result of the failures of the
employees at their various meetings
to continue work at the wages
offered them. The company yesterday
paid of 600 OF 700 men, which is about one
! half of the mill full force. These men are
| thrown out of work, but no trouble is an
J ticipated, as the are all of frst-rate charac-
ter.

ANTI-CATHOLlC ACTIVITY.
What Cardinal NHcClOskey's Secre.
tary Has to Say.

| Special to the Globe.
| New YORK, May 31.-New activity is
| discernable in -nothingism, or rather
among the Jealous anti-Roman Catholics.
The organization known as the American
Protestant league, long dormant, is now in
state of something like agitation. 1t is
understood that Miss Catherine Wolff, the
wealthiest maiden lady in America, has con-
tributed fund for the cause in which She
has long taken a deep interest. At
| all events the society is preparing for an
effort to arouse religious feeling against the
Roman Catholic church. Freshly written
tracts are to be issued by the million, and
| plan for newspaper organ OF the league
has been perfected. The promoters declare
| that S1O0, 900 is already at their command
| and they are confident that before that sum
is exhausted the
OLD TIME ACRIMONY
will have been more than revived. The
point of especial inSistance will be that the
Catholics under direct orders from Rome
and Immediately directed by Cardinal
McCloskey have gone very far

ences. The evidence to be cited in support

Columbia. Sites for schools, converts,
colleges. churches and asylums have been
purchased there greatly in advance Of the
actual needs, and now sixty-fve acres of
ground have been bought for the projected
Seminary, to found which Catholic lady
recently gave $500. .000as a beginning. In
all this the American-Protesta league sees
determination on the part of the Catholics
to make Washington their
POTENT AMERICAN CENTER.
Cardinal McCloskey is very feeble, and
if he is able to take directing part in such
scheme, it would surprise those who
know his physical condition. He has taken
no share in public services since the impos-
ing ceremonies with which his red hat of
the cardinalship was received. His secretary
is Father Farrell, who says of the new
anti Catholic movement, ''His eminence

The Lord was Driving.
From the Bloomington Eye.

One of the prettiest conceits in Mr. Har-
ris' (Uncle Remus) new book is put into
the mouth of an old negro driver. He had
run away from his master and could not be
caught; but an old lady bought him, because
he had saved the life of her son, and he sur
rendered himself and became faithful SER
want When his old mistress came to die
her wandering mind dwelt upon the negro
who had served her so faithfully. She fam
ced she was making journey. THE car
riage goes smoothly along here" she said.
Then, after little pause, she asked: ssIs
David driving?" and the weeping negro
cried out from corner of the room: "'Taint
POI Dave, mistr'ss! De good Lord done TUX
holt er de lines" And so, dreaming as
little child would dream, the old lady slip
ped from life into the beatitudes, if the
smiles of the dead mean anything.

Where Beauty Sleeps.
From Late New York Letter.

Would you like to see how New York
belle of millionaireism sleeps? 1 can graft
fly you so far as to describe, with literal ex-
actness, the bedroom of young woman
whose name is printed as often as anybody's
in the society reports. never saw more
beautiful, cosy, in every way delightful
place than the sleeping room of this
young princess of faShiOn-the eldest child
of ny-millionaire. The wall paper
was pale gold on faint slate color. The
gilt bedstead was pushed against a square
of painted silk of pale gold, with slate
colored silk bows at the corners. Just such
another square of plated silk rose to the
ceiling above the wash-Stand, On that
were only pictures, bowl, soap dish and so
ON, because wateris presumed to invite not
only sewer gas, but all of the choicest ware.
A great sheet of beveled looking glass, six
feet high, swung on brass rods above the
floor in one corner for the young woman to
seeher whole attire in. She had also a hand
some folding glass to reflect her ears, back
hair and neck. There was an open fireplace,
besides the hot air register; a dressing stand,
laden with pretty toilet boxes and bottles;
an ivory clock like bird-cage, in which
ivory canaries trilled sweetly as each hour
began; easy chairs and a rocking-chair to
match the wall paper and furniture; a pref
ty little prie-dieu for the young woman to
say her prayers upon as fashionable as pos
sible; and wealth of elegancies completing
a general effect that was exquisite, dainty
and inviting beyond computation. Opening
out of this room the young milionairess had
another apartment where she wrote and
painted and worked, so to speak, but 1
did not see it.

Her Confidence Games.

NEW YORK, May Detective Golden,
of Inspector Byrnes' staff, to-day seized the
clothing, jewelry, etc., contained in the
trunks of Mrs. Susan r. Buck, whose
mysterious disappearance from Busch's
hotel in Hoboken about ten days ago. caused
some excitement. A dispatch from the police
of Liverpool, Eng, stated that Mrs. jean
nette Vanderstain had had her trunks stolen
from the steamer City of Richmond, and the
detective found identifying marks on Mr..
Bucks goods. Mrs. Buck is a Scotch
woman, 81 years old. The police say
she is even more dangerous than
the notorious Mrs. Eller E. Peck. She re-
turned to New York by the City of Rich
mond, bu how she obtained Mrs. Wander
stain's trunks is mystery. Inspector
Byrnes knows where the woman is,
but will not arrest her, as he
has no proof that she
came by the property unlawfully. She
travelled on the steamer under her maiden
name, Anna Louise Shaw. Mrs. Buck, it
is said, once swindled the lord mayor of
London out of ESQ., but her brother sue
ceeded in having her sent to an asylum in
stead of to prison.

WINNIPEG, May 31.-Gen. Strange's

great interest in the progress of the Indian
war. 1t is fully expected that Middleton
will have trouble with the Bear, for the latter

Literally Butchered.

New YORK, May 31.-John Lauer, day
clerk at Henry Crawford's drug store, on
Hudson street. upon reporting for duty this
morning found the door unlocked, though
closed. Upon entering the back room
he was Mortified to find sthe
dead body of Richard Hands, the
night clerk, on chair in sitting posture,
with frightful cash in his throat, as well
as a crushed skull. The shocked day clerk
managed to get to the street and find an
officer On returning the men found a
heavy iron pestle covered with blood and
hair on the floor, the dead mans throat cut
from ear to ear and ugly
wounds on the right cheek and
over the right eye. Suicide had been sug-
gested, but an examination of the wounds
and the discovery by Mr.. Crawford, who
soon arrived, that $35 or $40 that had been
taken in the store on Saturday
was missing, satisfied the authori-
ties that It was brutal murder.
The coroner's examination showed that the
pestle which was found fitted well into the
depressiOns in the skull, and seemed to
have been the weapon with which the blow
was struck. No sharp-edged instrument
that could have been used to cut the throat
could be found, nor even a sign of a
struggle. The blows on the head
had been dealt from behind, and the throat
cut after the clerk had sunk in his chair.
The bed had been prepared for retiring and
the man was still entirely dressed
when found. AS yet the police have no
clue. Hands was unusually popular and
was not known to have

tory to taking it to him..

Dakota Girl Farmers.
lthicago Tribune.l

New stories constantly appear of girl
farmers who are making fortunes in
Dakota. Their stories are not lies, but
whea they get into print there is halo
of romance about them which does not
exist in Dakota. These girl farmers are
not from among Colonel p. Donan's
late inip0rtations of Boston blue stock
ings, but were OF the pioneers who went
Into the Territory six or eight years
ago, and they are ladies who offer no
inducement to the fortune-hunter.
The girl who has developed in Dakota
is creature by herself; there is some
thing in the climate which gives her o
special development, mentally and
and she rates d sweetheart
as she would horse. When a young
man has followed her on reaper half q
day around a hundred-acre wheat-fieId
he doesn't quote any Tennysona at lunch,
and after he has helped her to break in
a yoke of steers he'd rather have arnica
than caresses. That is the reason we
hear 80 much Of girl farmers in Dakota
who remain single-they are so practi-
cal and so severe.
