The New York Middle.

New YORK, Jan. 2.-The only
new developments in the local politi-
cal chaos this morning, was in the
shape of a proposition offered by
counsel E.. T. Wood, who was ap-
pointed counsel to the corporation by
the president of the board. alder
man Kirk, who acted as mayor be-
tween the hours Of midnight, Dec.
3lst, until noon of Jan. 1st, Messrs.
David Dudley Field, Robert. Sewall,
Geo. Bliss and Hugh L. Cole, as
such counsel fer Col. Wood, offered
to enter into an agreed case and pre-
sent it to the general term of the
Supreme court. The unsuccessful
party can appeal the case and have q
decision by'the end of this month
Col. Woods representatives sly If
this proposition is accepted, their
principal will take no steps toward
asserting his rights in the matter of
corporation counselship until the
final decision il reached. Lacombe
said he would probably make known
his answer tomorrow. Mayor Grace
received many callers to-day. He
made no important appointments to-
day. Those who looked for the ar
rest of any. of the aldermen or ex-
Mayor Edison, for contempt of court,
in ignoring Judge Beach's injunction
in regard to the action on the n0mi-
nation, were disappointed. Judge
Truax's decision on the validity of
that injunction is anxiOusly awaited.

Clark's Fork.

From Mr.. Harry Gassert we learn
that considerable interest IL being
taken in the Clark's Forks mining
district, by eastern capitalists, whose
attention has been called there by
some of the owners of q few leading
mines. MI. Gassert, who is interested
in this comparatively unknown dis.
trict, will leave for the main camp in
the course Of the coming week, a
venturesome trip at this season Of the
year, as q portion of the trip must
necessarily be accomplished on snow
shoes. Letters from his foreman
state that a shaft is now down on one
of his mines, about so feet in a body
of good galena ore, three feet of which
assays from so OF. to $50 OF. in silver
and go per cent. in lead. The mines
Sc far discovered, prospect very high,
the major portion of them yielding
ore which averages from 40 OF. to $50
or. A railroad has been talked of,
the ground surveyed and prepare
tons made for its completion the
coming season.
The mines are situated but 20 miles
from the Yellowstone river and are
easily reached aud worked. A
tunnel, 300 feet in length is now
being run to tap the main ledge of
one Of the principal mines at q depth
of $50 feet from the surface.

chicago soei.li.e. Dr,llfns.'

CHICAGO, Jan. SIT Is understood
that the fact has been clearly dis
| closed that q number of armed COM
panies of Socialists are regularly
drilling in this city. and that they
number about 700 men. They are
supplied with breech-loading rifles,
drill according to Prussian tactics
The entire practice is contrary to the
state law. In view of this fact and
owing to the present threats by some
of the socialist leaders, q volunteer
guard company has been placed on
one of the armories of the National
Guard. In speaking of the matter
editorially the Times says.
ut IL rather an unpleasant condi-
ton of things when It is found neces-
sary to guard the city armories
against apprehended attacks of men
who are engaged in secretly
drilling and whose announced
purpose is pillage, arson
and murder. It is stated that q small
number O fmilitla volunteers, possibly
SQUADS of ten are On watch nightly at
the armories of the LIST regiment, to
protect it against anticipated attacks.
If this be q fact there is scandalous
affairs in existence, it is not the duty
of members of the militia who get no
pay to perform extra work, sitting up
nights to guard the property of the
state. If such work is necessary to
be done the state ought to order it
done and be willing to pay for it.
One of the first things which should
be done is to have matters investi-
gated and If 1t be found that men
are drilling in secret for an illegal
purpose, they uhould be put under
the supervision of the police just as
If they were burglars or ~assassins
planning the death of a citizen.

A FleQd i'm Illinois.

JERsEYvILLE, Ill. Jan. 3.-Cal-
houn county has neither railroad nor
telegraph, and at this season of the
year is cut off from all communion
ton, save such as is afforded by river
and stage coach. A courier to-day
brought news of q desperate shooting
ARRAY at a ball +, near Batchtown, in
that county, on Christmas eve. Rube
Harrel was jealous Of a rival, and in
his madness got hold of a shot gun
and discharged both barrels into the
little company, wounding seven per-
sons, TWO of them fatally. The in
jured are: Laura Jones, eye shot out
and dying; Alice Beach, shot in the
head and neck; Belle Jones, shot in
the abdomen; VIM. beach, shot in
the lip; and an unknown man shot
in the back. Several other received
slight wounds. The murderer
mounted his horse and fled the
country.

The Mormon Catechis,.l

SAT- LAKE, Jan. 1.-The school
case was heard to-day. The Gentiles
opposed the collection. of the tax be-
cause they claim the school is sec
tartan. Witnesses swore that Nor
mons only could get employment as
teachers, and that they were required
to close the school on Mormon fast
days, every month must pay tithing
and open with Mormon prayers"
dispositions read from : an assistant
teacher at Spanish Fork that two
theological classes IN the public
schools were reported as history
classes. The public funds have been
used to pay the tuition of Mormon
teachers of the Brigham Young
theological academy. Prof. Lincoln
testified that he visited the public
school at Ogden. The teacher made
the pupils recite the Mormon cata-
chism. A large volume of similar
was given. Counsel for
the defense said the resistance was
revolutionary and calculated to de-
stroy not only schools, but the entire
of taxation.

The London Explosion.

LONDON, Jan. 3.-A passenger on
the train that left Tower street for
Kings Cross Station q few minutes
before the time OF the explosion, says
he saw q man who wore an ulster
with a fur collar and soft wide-awake
hat, enter a compartment next to
that in which he sat; the man carried
a parcel apparently of considerable
weight. wrapped in cloth of Amerl-
can manufacture. Shortly after the
train left Tower street the man let
down the window of the compart-
ment with a loud slam. He got out
at Harrington street and walked
away, he was then without the par
eel. The passenger thought the
stranger had forgotten it, and looked
over the partition between the COM
par ments and discovered the p ircel.

The Train Robbers.

WILMINGTON, Del, Jan. 3.-A
special dispatch gives the particulars
Of the robbery of the Oxford accomo-
daulon train on the Baltimore Cen
trail Railway last night. Two men,
unknown, boarded the train at Ris-
ing Sun. Nd, having bought tickets
for Sotoman Station, thirty miles
distant. The train consisted Of two
passenger cars. The robbers entered
the train through the last a with
out molesting the passengers. They
pa sed into the forward car, pointing
q revolver at the head Of each pas
senger in the train, demanding
''Your money or your life." When
the brakeman entered the car and
was about to pull the bell rope, a re-
volver was pointed at his breast and
he was told eff you give an inch I'll
blow your heart out" Meanwhile
the other passengers concealed their
watches and other valnables in their
boots and were beginning to recover
from their generalization. The rob-
bers noticed this. and suddenly left
the Car, jumped the train while it
was going at full speed.

NEW YORK, Jan. ga strong
movement Is on foot, on the part of
the dry goods clerks association in
Grand street, backed by labor unions
to obtain a complete mastery of the
situation now that the discharge of
holiday employees is ut hand. fester-
day occurred a counter current, that
presages near trouble. The police
were called upon by u committee of
merchants to protect their property
in the event of q general strike. To-
day the streets sWarmed with police
who feared trouble. The holidays
being over employers have assumed
an attitude of defiance toward the
claims of their clerks that has
aroused a bitter resentment. The
clerks assert that the association de-
manded of the employers that they
should keep in employ hands which
they had in the middle of November
throughout the dull season to March,
without reducing the wages. The
yesterday resolved to
stand together and resist the dicta-
ton Of the clerks association and
labor unions.

FRONTIER DIPLOMACY.

Net on the street As the sun went down;
And each Of them said, a. he pulled his vest,
Twould be q good thing to work the town.
Fur candidates always, when things are dull,
Must exert themselves to dispel the lull,
TO keep their booms . booming.
Three editors followed the candidates,
And saw them treating the cheering crowd;
While barkeepers busted themselves with states
And the jingle Of glasses was long ana loud.
For men must drink when they keep an eye
On an orators mouth, for it makes them dry;
An1the booms must be kept booming.
Three candidates saw the eagereyed scribes,
And beckoned hem on with a welcome nand.
Each knew that the editors never took brides,
But would willingly drink, if q treat they'd
stand.
When they read the papers the following day
They foundt that philanthropy surely does pay,
When boomsn need spirited" booming.
