A SHORT STRIKE.
Operatives Dissatisfied About the Time
of Work.

New BEDFORD, Mass, Dec. IA.
The mule spinners in the Grinnell mill, 81
in number, struck work Saturday morning,
but the differences were adjusted. The men
will resume work Tuesday morning. The
men say the machinery has been started
mornings several minutes before 6.l5, the
time for beginning work, also before z. NJ.
This gave the corporation considerable work
for which the operatives got no pay. The
spinners have recently been quietly ignoring
the signal and starting as near the regular
time as possible. Saturday morning, one
man who was few minutes late and another
who claimed to be on time were discharged
and the spinners struck work. The overseer
agreed to take one man back if the men
would resume work but they would not.
This morning the strikers appointed COM
mittee to wait upon the overseer and see what
he would do. He agreed to take back the
men and start the mill not over three min
utes before the regular time. This PROPOSE
ton was laid before the strikers at subse-
quent meeting and they agreed to accept,
thinking they had better concede something
and voted to resume work Tuesday morning

NINE DISASTER.
An Explosion OF Gas IN Delaware Coal
Mine-One Man Fatally and Others
Seriously Injured.
WILMINGTON, Del. Dec. IA.

WILMINGTON, Del, Dec. a.
frightfnl explosion of gas took place,
Monday morning, in Mill Creek Mime oper-
ated by the Delaware and Hudson Coal Co.,
at place few miles from this city. At the
time of the accident there were about one
hundred miners, isborers and boys, in the
slope. The news spread quickly and the en-
tire population soon seemed to have gathered
about the colliery. The explosion occurred
in what is known as No. l2 Lift, which is
located at the extreme end of the opening of
the slope, being 1000 feet from the mouth
and therefore its ventilation was deficient.
The gas had ignited in the breast where a
miner named Coffin was at work. An explor.
ing party of about twenty miners entered the
slope as soon as the news of the disaster
reached the surface. 1t was quickly discov-
cred that many of the men were burned and
the explorers at once began removing them
One man was fatally and six seriously in
jured. Many others were slightly injured BY
flying pieces of coal and wood and by being
violently thrown against the pillars of coal
The explosion could not have been avoided

rr. Lacomb, Roman Catholic missionary

visit is to impress upon the government the
necessity of Immediately dispatchins strong
military force to the Blood Indian reserve.
The Indians, he says, when he left were very
turbulent and might take the warpath at any
moment. Should they rise they would un-
doubtedly have the hearty support of power
full tribes in the United States. Were such
an alliance made and an Indian war begun
the Blackfeet and other tribes to the North
would certainly take part and war in com,

he waeed before the Indians could be sub

THE MORMON CONSPIRACY.
The Means Resorted To by the Saints to En-
trap Gentiles and Federal officials.

SALT LAKE Cry, Dec. 22-The trial of B. Y.
Hampton. charged with conspiracy, commenced
before Judge Zane to-day. Hampton is city
officer and prominent Saint, charged with enter
ing into q conspiracy with prostitutes to estab-
lish houses of prostitution for the purpose of
entrapping federal officials and gentiles. The
only witness examined to-day was Mrs. Fields,
one of the prostitutes. She testified she had
entered into contract with Hampton;
that he furnished house for her, and that
the police promised her she should not be ar
rested for running house of prostitution in the
city The police paid her rent and reserved one
room in the house for the spoilers. Hampton
took her past Governor Murray's house in bug
gy, pointed out his residence and told her to call
on the Governor and try to get him to call on
her. Hampton promised her $500 if she got the
Governor. Hampton and his associates told
her they wanted to get the names of these gem
tiles, they could take them off the juries in po
lygamy trials. They wanted to entrap the Gov
ernor in order to get polygamists out of the pen
itentiary. 1t appeared the police took very
active part in the conspiracy.
The trial is exciting great interest and is at
tended by the Governor the mayor of the city
and other officials. There are three other in
dictments against Hampton, for conspiracy
with another woman, and two for keeping
houses OF ill-fame. Judge Zane impaneled a
grand jury to-day and gave them printed in
structionS to investigate cases of polygamy, I'M
lawful cohabitation, and keepers and habitues Of
lewd houses. He referred to rumors that jury
men would be made to suffer if they did not do
thorough work and said he would excuse any
one afraid. They must defend themselves, even
by shooting assalants if necessary.

House. Later. John B. Burke was taken in the
firm. and the hotel did fourishing business.
From that time until shortly before he took his
departure from this city, Mr.. Gage was promi
nently identified with the hotel business. In
1869 he was elected city treasurer and served
until succeeded by Dan O'Hara in 1873 The
latter, upon taking possession of the books of
his Office. discovered that shortage of large
dimensions existed. and made demand upon
his predecessor for $507. 703 So. which was not
forthcoming Mr.. Gage was indicted and his
trial came off at Wheaton, ILL.,, which resulted
in his acquittal by the jury. A compromise
was effected, and he went to Denver, where ne
started in the hotel business Success attended
him there for time, but he got into debt, and
half year ago failed to the extent of some
$40, 900. Unable to recover himself, he came
back to Chicago. the wreck of his former self. 1t
is hardly expected that he will live many days.

THE ESTATE OF GENERAL rooMBs.
Report that Several Hundred Thousand
Dollars Was Swallowed Up.

Atlanta Special.
A profound sensation has been created
throughout Georgia by a report that the fortune
of Robert Toombs is lost The cause is said to
be heavy advances made by Toombs to complete
the new Kimbal House in this city, the finest
hotel in the South ". w. Simpson. of Wash
ington, Ga, says that Toombs lost $1c),000. A
dispatch to the Macon Telegraph says:
About month ago some of General
Toombs's heirs determined legally to
investigate his connection with the kimball
House Company and went to Atlanta for that
purpose The heirs have decided to contest n
certain power of attorney given by General
Toombs to Joseph Thompson, member OF the
Kimball House Company. This power of attor
ney authorizes Thompson to indorse certain
notes Of the company with General Toombss
name. 1t is alleged that Thompson die this to
the extent of $780, 900. 1t is certain that work
on the Kimball House would have been stopped
had not General Toombs given power Of attorney
authorizing Mr. Thompson to indorse for him.
1t is understood that the heirs will contest the
power of attorney given to Mr.. Thompson, upon
the ground that General Toombs was mentally
incapacitated to attend to business. Ugly dis
closures are anticipated"
This publication has created great comment
here. Mr.. Thompson refused to make any state
ment except that he used his power of attorney
in indorsing General Toombs's name just he
had his own, and on every occasion had signed
Jointly with it his own, as all the other members
had DONE and that every cent he had himself
was involved as much as that of General
Toombs. But he did not expect to lose it, nor
did he think General Ioombs's heirs had any
reason to be anxious. The result of further
investigation is anxiously awaited.
