PTrsprRG, December l3.-The Com
mercial Gazette will publish tomorrow a
lengthy communication from James
Briggs, a miner employed at the Alliqu'p-
pa mines of Lyon \ c, inswhlch he
makes the startling statement that as
an outcome Of last weeks riots at
Pine Run the working miners have organ
lied for the purpose Of defending them
selves sgainst the future attacks of strik-
srs. He says they have a sworn family
compact demanding life ior a hte
if any of their number falls
while going to work. Having alSays
lived honest and honorable lives and been
good citizens, they will not be shot down
without revenge. The letter defends the
working mixers and asserts that few per
sons not located near the Monongahela
Valley have any idea Of the terrorlzing
threats or intim;dstions used toward those
refusing to Join the strike.

ONE OF THE ROBBERS
OF the Mt. Pleasant Bank Probably tho
Man Who Was Run Over.
gr.cs,I IN h.


Special 10 he Register.
XANESvlLLE, o., December l3-It turns
out that the old man who was so terribly
man2led by the B. & o. yard engine on
Saturday was probably one Of the burglars
who was concerned in the attempt to rob
the bank at Mt. Pleasant Friday morn
ing. Before dying he gave mis- name as
John Benson, Of New York, but declined
to say anything else about himself. On
his person were found two drills, matches,
a package OF gun powder, small bundles
OF white paper, aud several broken pipes.
he also carried copy of the Rochester
On. Y. Democrat Chronicle OF Nov. 18th.
The theory ia that he was one Of the
two men concerned in the attempt TO burg
larize the bank, and after discovery they
concluded to separate in order to more
easily escape detection. He probably stole
ride on the B. Il o. freight train out Of
Bellsire, as he had only few cents on his
person, although he carried new Russia
leather pooketbook He was about sixty
years OF age, wore whisBers and was
dressed in gray cashmere The body bore
no marks by which it could be identified
and will be buried tomorrow.

INTERIOR DEPARTMENT APPROPRIATIONS.
When appropriation bill containing pro
visions for the support Of the Interior De,
psrtment with its General Land Office,
Pension Bureau, etc., comes up in the
House, it is predicted that a very stiff fight
will be made against the policy Of General
Sparks, the Land Commissioner. 4 flood
OF remoustrsnee in every possible shape
have been received by members Of both
parties in Congress from the people Of the
prairie States against the endorsement OF
various orders Issued by the head OF the
Land OHce. An ayslsuch Of disspproyal
seems to be pouring in. The warfare
which will be waged upon this office by
not only the minority but many majority
members OF the House will be in the form
of cutting off the appropriations to carry
out the policies he has promulgated. Then
there will be efforts made to insert IN
structious TO the Land Commissioner in
the appropriation bill. Before the trouble
is over it is believed the new order Of
things will be repudiatsd
No one seems to believe that the sug.
gestion of the Secretary of War and Gen
ersl Sheridan that the army shall be eu-
larged, will have any weight upon Congress.
There is more opposition towards enlarge
meut OF the expenses OF the army than
almost anything else within the Govern
ment. Only the statesmen who comes
from the sections where there are Indian
troubles and border disturbances seem to
have any appreciation of the army. A
movement to reduce the army in number
aud to curtsil its expenses would probably
have more .how for success. The bent OF
everything in warfare now seems to be to-
wards the navy.
SAyY YARDS
A member OF the special commission sp-
pointed at the direction Of the last House
to enquire into the capacity Of American
foundries and shipyards to complete
machinery for heavy mea ot-wsr, speaking
OF the probable outcome OF the agitation 10
reconstruct the navy, said to your cor
respondent:
III think there will be liberal sppro-
priation msde-it may not be more thsn
tour or Eve mill;ons--to put our navy yards
in proper condition for building engines
and other machinery required in the re,
construction OF the navy. 1t will take
eighteen months or q couple Of years to
carry forward this work TO point where
il can be seen what ass is to be attain
ed. When a report is received upon the
work of rebuilding The navy yards it can
then be seen what is needed and how much
mou9y it will require to finish the work. |
think it will result in the navy yards doing
most OF the work; but private ship yards
and gun toundries will receive some Of
the work, as it will stimulate competition
and the results will be more desirable.
This whole thing will be an experiment
tor a while. We caa not complete good
ard satisfactory war fleet under five or six
years, and maybe ten years. The most
important thing is to be ready to equip our
sea warriors in the event We need equip,
meuts.

ClyCIyXA7I, December l3-Ihe I'm
quiIer prints special from Charleston
". Va, which says The town Ot Hinton
in Summers county, was thrown into
state Of great excitement to Jay, when two
suits that had been brought in the Circuit
Court became known The parties to the
suits are well known in Hinton, and have
moved in tbs best society. The defendant
Robert Fla nnsgan, came from Virginia,
but has lived in Hinton number OF years,
where he had accumulated considerable
amount Of property, and had beaome
popular with both sexes Mr.. CIV. Adams,
the plaintiff in one OF the suits, is me1'
chant, and also has considerable amount
OF property Mis- Sue Adams, daughter CT
Mr.. Adams and plaintiff in the other suit
is about twenty year5 Of age, blonde OF
voluptuous form, and acknowledged to be
the prettiest girl in Hinton. At one one
time she was courted by all the young
men OF the place, who hoped not only to
get pretty wife but TO be aided tinan-
cially by the father. Among other admir-
ers was Flanagan, and 1t was soon seen
that ne was the favored oue Her other
suitor then withdrew, and society has been
expecting the announcement Of their en-
gagemeut for some time. 1t came in an en-
tirely unexpected manner. OF the two
suits mentioned the first one i5 brought by
Mr.. Adams for Slj, 900 for seduction, and
the other by his daughter for $4,000 fol
breach Of promise. When Miss Adam
found she would not Re abe TO hide the
( eyidence OF her weakness longer, she urged
Flanagan TO marry her. He promised tc
do 80 in three days, but before they hac
elapsed he decided his property, amounting
to $4,000, to his brother, and taking
west bound train, LETT Tor parts unkno@n
When Miss Adams found she could ex
pect no assistance from him, she told he
iather OF the folly, and the two suit result
ed. Much sympathy is felt 10. Mis-
Adams, and a great deal Of indignation
for Flanagan, who has always had
reputation for strict morality.

FIGURES that are both big and inter-
esting are found in comparing the
passenger traffic of the London UNDER
ground and the New York elevated
railway systems. The amount of pat
ronage bestowed and the enormous
growth of this patronage may be fairly
taken as the measure of public apprc-
citation. In 1879 total of 91,42O, 178
persons made use Of the London un-
derground lines, while in 1884 the
number had increased to 114,447, ,514;
during the corresponding five years
the New York elevated railroads show
ed an increase from 46, ,045, 181 to &c.
zoe, $50. While London still remains
good distance ahead in the grand
totals, as it does in population, the
ratio of increase wss largely in favor
of the American metropolis; in other
words, while the underground showed
an increase of p, ,O27, 1886 in five years.
the elevated has extended its figures
by 80. 657, ,439, at which rate it will not
take New York long to catch up with
London.
