MRS. GARFIELD'S GOLD MINE.
A Lucky Investment of the Dead Fresi-
dent in North Carolina.

The New York Z;yibune's Raleigh, N.
c., special says: Mrs. Lucretia Garfield
owns gold mine in Stanley county, about
seven miles from Albemarle. Some North
ern prospectors spoke Of this mine to Pres
ident Garfield, who, in conjunction with
friend, bought the property, and appointed
an agent to wosk the mine. The President
had postof1ice established at the mine for
the convenience of people living in the
neighborhood. 1t was about the time that
mining operations were getting well under
way that the President was shot, and but
little has since been done at the mine. It
was expected that the property would be
sold, but Mrs. Garfield concluded to keep
the Presipent's share OF it in her posses
sion, and made arrangements to have work
continued. The mine has been paying
Mrs. Garfield regularly neat little profit
Information comes from Charlotte that
Mrs. Garfield has determined on trip
South, partly for pleasure and partly for
business, and one of her objective points
will be her gold mine.

PLYMOUTH'S PASTOR.
He Affects Mournful Melodies and Longs

The New York Times says: Henry
Ward Beecher was in low spirits, and a
certain amount of melancholy was infused
into the last PRAYER meeting. The hymns
he selected were of mournful character.
He said: "lf God were to ordain me to
begin life again, Of course would submit
cheerfully. But am glad the end is draw
ing Ugh. have had great deal of

whisper, and it was with an effort that he
aroused himself from his reverie. II am

that age most folks are dead and gone, and

British Colonial Matters.

One section Of the Cabinet at London
opposes the advice Of Earl Derby, Colonial
Secretary, to accept the offer Of America
to admit raw sugar from the British West
Indies, on condition that diferential tax
of 80 per cent be allowed in favor of all
American goods imported into the British
West Indies. The Commercial Depart
ment Of the Foreign Office is ordered to
prepare report upon the results to the
customs revenue likely to arise from the
proposed reduction of duties on American
goods.

to the proposal to hold a formal conference

TIMES IMPROVING.
The Iron Works of Pennsylvania Resum-
ing Operations.

A marked change has come over the
opinions Of business men in Pittsburg
within the past month. A few weeks ago
they looked only at the dark side Of the
picture, and could see little, if any, hope
for the future; but now they think they
have seen the worst, and from now onward
1885 will show gradual improvement, until
the volume OF business is restored to its
full proportions. The indications now are
that the iron mills and furnaces in that city
will not be allowed to lie idle much longer
as orders are coming in more freely, and
the stocks in the mills are low. The
Amalgamated Association men have ac-
cepted the reduction at the Homestead
Bessemer works, and it is thought there
will be cut in wages at all the steel mills
in the country. The Homestead works
will resume in all the departments at once.
Among the firms which have resumed are
the following: The Westinghouse Machine
Company, 500 men; Zugh & Co., 200 men;
Cambria Iron Works, Johnstown, 5000
men; Long Il Co., 900 men; National
Rolling Mills, McKeesport, 5000 men;
Oliver Bros. & Phillips, GOO men; Schoen-
berge Mills, 900 men.

CHICAGO SOCIALISTS.
Communists Equipped With Breech-
Leaders and Drilling Nightly.

1t is clearly understood and the fact has
been disclosed that number Of armed COM
panies Of Socialists in Chicago are regu-
larly drilling in the CITY, and that they num-
Der about 700. They are equipped with
breech- loading rifles, and drill according to
the Prussian tactics. The entire practice
is contrary to the State law. In view Of
this fact, and owing to recent threats BY
Socialist leaders, a volunteer guard has
been placed on one Of the armories Of the
National Guard.
In speaking Of the matter editcriallv the
Times says: 1t is rather an unpleasant
condition of things vhen it is found neces-
sary to guard the CITY armories against ap-
pretended attacks from men who are Sc
cretlv drilling, and whose announced pur-
pose is pillage, arson and murder. 1t is
stated that small number of volunteers,
possibly squads Of ten, are on the watch
nightly at the armorv Of the First Regi-
ment to protec, it against the anticipated
attacks. If this be the fact there is scan
dalous state OF affairs in existence. 1t is
not the duty Of the members Of the militia,
who get no paw themselves, to perform ex-
ira 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 paw for it.
One of the first things which should be
done is to have the matter investigated,
and if is be found that men are drilling in
secret for an illegal purpose they should be
put under the supervision of the police,
just as if they were burglars or assassins,
planning the death of a citizen.

The Egyptian Question.

The report published in the Paris Gaulois
that Bismarck had sent a note to Earl
Granville. Secretary Of State for Foreign
Affairs, charging England with the sole
responsibility for the Egyptian troubles,
and recommending entente with France as
the readie>t means Of securing the accord
of European Powers, is not credited in
London. The question Of summoning a
conference of the Powers for the purpose
of discussing Egyptian matters is, how.
ever, assuming important proportions, and
it is inti'nated that England will refuse to
accede to holding an Egyptian conference
at Paris or Berlin, without guarantee re-
garding the scope Of its deliberations.

HORRIBLE DEATHS.
Two Miners at Butte Arc Ground to Pulp
by a Cage.

An accident occurred in the hoisting
shaft Of the Magma Charta mine, at Walk
erville, on the I'd inst BY which two un-
fortunate men lost their lives. Itoccurred
in the following manner: Three men
were working on q contact to sink the
shaft from the GOO station, and having
worked their nights shift, at o'clock in
the morning they entered the cage 20 as
cend. Their names were James Tippett,
John Bray and William II. Bray, the las,
named being brothers. While sitting down
at the station, waiting for the cage to de-
scend, all three complained to the foreman,
James Bullman, Of headache and dizziness,
which may be attributed to the fumes from
the charges they had used in busting. The
cage is made secure BY guard bars placed
on its north and south sides. On Of these
was in place when the cage started, and
ohm BRAY stood securely on that side, but
on the opposite side the two Others had
neglected to lower the bar to its rest, and
they held on to it in an upright position.
when they ascended to the purer air in the
shaft the change seems to have overrow
cred them. 1t is supposed they fell, and
there being no guard to hold them on the
cage, they dropped between it and the tim
bers. This produced heavy strain upon
the cable, as there is but eight inches of
space between the cage and shaft, and the
former, in grinding past them, reduced the
poor fellows almost TO pulp. When the
cage arrived at the landing place, John
Bray WAS found to be the sole occupant,
and he was in kneeling position, holding
on to the bar with death clutch, and per-
fectly unconscious. The pump man at the
GOO level, hearing the fall of the mangled
bodies, supposed some earth had fallen
through the timhers, but on searching the
bottom, Is feet below his station, he first
found gum boot, and then came across
tie crushed and mutilated bodies. He inn
mediately rang for assistance, and the cage
was lowered with three men to render aid.
On reaching the bottom Of the shaft they
found the bodies in so mangled a condition
that it was necessary to gather them up in
blankets.
