ton has reached here that the revolutionist,
Rodiguese, at the head Of about seven hun
dred men, entered Villaldama, Neuvo Leon,

tionists have ousted the municipal authori-
ties of that city and appointed city gov
ernment of their choosing.

SWitchnen Strike.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1O.-The switchmen en-
ployed in the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railway yards have struck. The night men
quit last night and the day men are ex-
pected to 60 out this morning. The trouble
is continuance of the misunderstanding Of
some weeks ago. The night men went to
work at p. m. and were frequently COM
PEELED to quit work by the engines being
called in, which stopped the switching, and
they were paid only for the actual time put
in, while they demanded a full nights pay
if they worked until midnight, and half
nights pay if they reported for duty at all.
and the company acceded to the demand.
but recently the operators found, so they
claim, that the company had failed to keep
to their agreement, and after giving notice
two days ago, struck last night.
No freight is moving and the switchmen
are idle. The latter are collected in groups
in the yards. but have not resorted to Tio-
lence of any kind.

Conspiracy Charged.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Various petit
tions, signed by citizens of Iowa. were
placedlin the petition box of the house to-
day, reciting that the present secretary of
the treasury, the American Bankers asso-
citation and the leading newspapers of East
ern cities have joined in a conspiracy to in
crease the value and purchasing power of
funded debts and fixed incomes through the
depreciation of general values by the de-
monetization of silver or a suspension of
its coinage. The petitioners ask congress
to place the coinage Of silver on an equality
with the coinage Of gold and ask that the
coin certificates be continued; that reissue
be made of one and two dollar notes, and
that the public debt be liquidated as rapidly

Lived ON Cocoanuts.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1O.-The effects of the
recent blizzard are being told by the cap
tains of incoming vessels. The schooner
Relief, which arrived yesterday from Jack
sonville, Fla, had two of her sailors swept
overheard and drowned. The ship Corriga,
from London, yesterday landed here the
crew, eighteen in number. of the Norwe-
gian bark Nora, which was recently aban-
doned in sinking condition. The schooner
E. A. Warner was twenty-four days COM
ing from Baroca with fruit, and was so
short of provisions that the crew lived
principally on cocoanuts the last four days
of the voyage. From all along the north
eastern coast come similar stories of wrecks
and great sufferings by crews.

Drilling With winchesters.

BREWER, Mo-, Dec. 10.-The warlike
preparations being made here for the last
week still continue. There are two regular
companies, composed of white men, who
drill daily with Winchester rifles. It hat
been discovered that an organized attack
upon the stockade is to be made Saturday
if Mr.. Loomis does not disarm his men.
This he positively declines to do. He says
he has discharged the roughs and disreputa-
BILE characters from the mines, and those
who remain he knows will participate in no
quarrel unless in self-defense. In anticipa-
tion of the coming conflict several promi-
nent families have removed from here to
Macon. Great alarm and anxiety is felt
among the peaceably-inclined citizens. and
they fear serious trouble will follow Loomis'
refusal to disarm his men.

ST.. JOHNS, n. B., Dec. 1O.-While the
east-bound freight train on the New Bruins
wick railway was passing over the bridge
across the north branch of the Oromocto
river to-day, the bridge gave way and the
engine fell into the river. Fortunately ii

the track, one hanging over the gap. The
engineer escaped with slight injuries. The
fireman, named Smith. is missing. The
night express from Boston soon afterwards
passed over the south branch bridge and the
engineer, learning of the disaster, attempted
to back his train to Frederick junction. II

the south branch bridge had given way and
the train had very narrow escape from a
calamity. Both bridges have been under
going repairs.

NEW USE FOR CHAMPAGNE.

cial Barometer.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-United States
Consul Frisbie, at Lyons, France, has made
an interesting report to the department of
state on the subject of champagne as COM
mercial barometer. He says the sparkling
wine has long been held as barometer in
many business circles Tor measuring and
determining commercial prosperity or de-
preston in different countries, and that Oc-
tOber has usually been the month selected
as giving the truest tests in this regard. as
order supplies for the approaching
social and holiday season. He
says that for long time past
there had been a gradually Increasing de-
preston in the champagne made in all
the countries, which reached its lowest
stage in the United States during the fiscal
year 1874. That year it showed decrease
of 81, S67, 459 as compared with the previous
year. There has been a gradual improve
ment in the fiscal year 1885, which shows
an increase of 1884, ,924 over the previous
year. The invoices legaliZed at

to the value of $343, $50, an increase of
$142. 997 over the same month of 1884, and
an increase of $13S, O93 over October, 1883.
Consul Frisbie says this increase is phenom-
enal and indcatesa
degree of prosperity and promise of COM
mercial activity beyond the anticipation of
our business men. Such, however, is not
the case with European countries. where a
long stagnation of business and commercial
inactivity has been intensified by political
questions and the fears of war. A serious
strike has occurred at one of the largest
woolen factories at Rheims as the result of
the present depression, and a fear is ex-
pressed that as other firms have to reduce
wages. general strike of operatives will
result. He mentions these strikes to show
the bad state of business in France and adds
that what is true of France is also true of
other European countries.

KENToN, Tenn, Dec. 1O.-About
o'clock Tuesday morning two clerks in the
store of White & Boyle were awakened by
suffocating smoke and discovered the
store to be on fire. A thief had entered,
stolen some goods and then fired the house.
By prompt efforts the fire was extinguished.
Had the young men been a few minutes
later in making the discovery they would
undoubtedly have been burned to death and
the whole business portion of the town de-
stroyed. Soon afterwards Sam Fowler, a
colored eX-convict, was caught with the
stolen goods in his possession and he was
promptly jailed. Yesterday morning his
dead body was found dangling from the

this evening in the United States marshaPs

house, which recalls not only the exploit;
of Miles Ogle, the celebrated counterfeiter
but the Breathitt county vendetta of last

but who had for some time belonged tc
Ogle's counterfeiting gang, was arrested
in Lexington, KY, for having in his
possession counterfeit $40 bills OF

He was brought to Covington for safe
keeping and at the last December term OF
the United States court was indicted. Be-
fore his trial the indictments were stolen.
He has laid in jail until this term. He was
reindicted and this afternoon was taken to
the United States marshaPs Office adjoining
the court room for trial. Twenty-o
other prisoners were there for sentence. AS
they were ushed into the court room it left
O'Neal and Bailiff Day alone in the room.
The latter was seated near table in the
center of the room. In drawer next to
him was forty-four-c -caliber pistol. BE
also had razor on his person. AS Day
turned, after showing other prisoners out,
he was met by O'Neal, who had in the
meantime taken
PlSTOK FEOM A DRAWER.
Days first intimation OF danger was feel
ing handful of pepper thrown into both
his eyes. AS they closed with pain, he
caught glimpse Of shining pistol barrel,
leveled at his head. Instinctively he caught
it with his right hand, and clutched
O'NeaPs throat with his left. He bore
down on the pistol and as it was dis
charged the bullet just grazed his lip. Still
holding his grasp, though in an agony Of
intense pain, he bore O'Neal backward,
simultaneously wrenched the pistol from
his hand and pointing it toward his antag-
onist, when he could no longer see, fired
shooting O'Neal through the body. The
bullet entered the lower part of both
lunge, bringing him to the floor. The whole
thing was done in less time than it takes te
tell it. Instantly all was confusion in the
court room. Doctors were called, who
dressed O'Nears wounds, which they pro-
nounced necessarily fatal. Coroner De
Gruyter was summoned to take his ante
mortem statement, but found him uncon-
sciOus. He will investigate the case to
morrow. In the meantime Bailiff Day,
whose home is in Menifee county, gave
himself up until an investigation is had.
O'Neal is slim-built, light-complexioned
man, weighing 120 pounds. Day is one Of
the heroes of the celebrated Breathitt
county war, some time since, and very
