S. s. Cox Speaks.

NEW YORK, Nov. l0.-The Tenth Assembly
District United Democracy club serenaded
Judge-elect Dugro and Congressman-elect
S. S. Cox last night. Mr. Cox bsing called
on for speech, said: "The clouds that are
over our party will pass away. We need not
fear harm from the Labor people. Ii they
have grievances the remedy should be sought
in the law, and if any wrongs should be
righted let them be fairly considered by the
old Democratic party, with such aid as
Henry George and his friends shall give
them. Where is the sphere Of Henry Georgei
The people of this state have voted In favor
of constitutional convention. The proper
sphere for George is in that convention,
where he can present the complaints and
grievances Of his people, and there seek the
remedy. 1 would not have any Democrat in
this district make ill will bctNoe those who
voted for or against our candidate. Let us
rather pour the oil of healing over our
troubled waters After all labor has built
up our country, and the Democratic party
has always stood by labor. If we have re-
duced majority in the house of representa-
tiYes the Republican majority in the senate
is reduced. They have but a majority of
two, and RiddIeberger, of Virginia, and Van
Wyck, of Nebraska, are both of them at
present very doubtful Republicans"

MINERS ASSOCIATION.
A Series of Demands to BE Presented TO
the Coke Operators.

PITTsBURG, Pa Nov. 9.-The Miners
association OF the Connellsville coke regions,
whose membership is twelve thousand, has
presented series OF demands to the coke OPP
orators and has arranged conference to be
held in this city on November lS. The de-
mands are that uniform rents be charged for
houses at the rate of 81 per month for each
room and that 81 per month be charged for
coal and that il be carried to tho houses; that
scales be placed on every tipple; thu- coal be
paid for by weight instead Of measure, and
that check weighmen be allowed; that wages
be paid every two weeks in cash without de-
duction for store orders; that car workers
wages be reconsidered and a now scale be
established for them; that trapping bogs'
wages be advanced from sixty eight cents to
81 per day, and that the Miners association
be recognized as the only organization repre-
senting the workmen
The operators will not say openly what will
be done with these demands, but there is no
doubt but that they will be rejected, and
iron manufacturers are stocking pig iron in
large quantities so as to be ready for q
famine OF the 12, 900 men in the coke re-
gion, half are controlled by the Miners as
sociation, and half by the Knights of Labor.
They are at open war, but the knights will
support the association in any demands they
consider just. Their executive board will
soon meet to consider how many Of these de-
mands shall be endorsed, and it will also ask
further conference with the operators.

A MAGNIFICENT BUILDING.
Hamilton County's New Court House
Ready for Occupancy,


CINCINNATI, Nov. l0.-The county offices,
which were burned out Of the court house by
the mob in the early part of 1884, and havA
since been sheltering in the huge, uncomforts
able store building on Fourth and Race have
begun returning to their old haunts but new
quarters in the court house. The board Of
control and the county commissioners and
the engineer have removed their belongings
from the damp, gloomy cellar at Fourth and
Race.
The new county treasury contains the old
ninetsen-ton safe which passed through the
court house fire with 81, $4,000 inside un
scathed. 1t proved itself worth its weight In
silver, or thereabouts. 1t has been repainted,
replated and secured 80 that it looks as wsa
az new. The treasurer deserts the hired safe al
Fourth and Race some time this week, and
returns to his first love. There will be but .
few thousand dollars to put In it just now,
however, as the funds are running low
The auditors and recorders offices are alsO
going up to the new building in a day Of
two. The auditor has three safes, but will
probably take but one, as there are vaults
in the new building answering the purpose.
The auditors books are not extensive, but
very valuable The recorders books are both
valuable and extensive. They number 1, 400.
These, with some 10000 deeds and mort
cages, will have to be oarted to the new
building. Old furniture will be sold at auc-
ton.

An Election .NIstake.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Nov. i0.--Trouble
may yet arise out of the recent election held
In this portion of the state. The poll books
were printed in such a manner as to make it
appear in the certificates Of the several COM
missioners of election that the election was
held October 2, 1884, instead of the first
Tuesday in November If this cannot be set
tied it will throw the matter Of the election
Of state senator from this district into the
state senate, which is Democratic; but in
order to prevent any trouble, the county
court of this Kanawha) county, in
stead Of issuing certificates of election TO the
several officers elected last Tuesday, has sum-
moned all the commissioners Of election o
meet in this city next Thursday, and ma 0
oath to the corrections Of the October books.
A contest would affect many persons elected
BIZ both parties.

park by her husband. She is in a critical

spectacle, hard working young woman.

CHATTANOOGA, Nov 9.-Iti is rumored here
in railroad circles that the Baltimore & Ohio
Express company has at last succeeded in
reaching into the southern territory by
contract made with the Queen and Crescent
route for the transportation Of its cars over
the lines Of its entire system. The Baltimore
g. Ohio people have for many years been
making an effort to reach the southern terri
tory, but failed until recently. The contract
of the Adams Express company with the
Queen and Crescent route expired on No
vember 1, and the Baltimore Sc Ohio people
Immediately made bid for the franchise.
If true, this last move will prove an import
ant piece of news for this section Immedi-
ately around Chattanooga, which has the
largest fruit growing interest in the south,
it will give the growers competition rates for
the transportation Of produce and will es-
pecially enhance the value of the strawberry
interests that have recently grown so extern

CROP SURVEY.
Reports to the Farmers Review Indicate
Small Yield.

Small Yield.
CHICAGO, Nov 9.-The following crop sur
vey has been compiled by the Farmers Re
view; The more complete returns from the
corn belt confirm the earlier reports of aver
ages of yield as disclosed by husking, and
confirm the prediction made early in the year
that the total yield would fall considerably
under that of 1885. Reports from ffty-three
counties in Illinois show a still smaller aver
age than by first reports, being placed at
25% bushels Forty-nine counties in Iowa
show an average Of 291( bushels, is slight
increase over earlier reports Thirty-two
Kansas counties show an average Of 21M
bushels, or decrease Of n bushels from the
first reports. Twenty-six Missouri counties
disclose an average Of 251S bushels, or de-
crease of one-half bushel
The report from these states are now so
complete that is not expected that the final
estimate will show any material change
Twenty counties in Indiana show an average
yield Of 1924 bushels. Twenty Ohio counties
disclose yield of Al bushels. Twenty-seven
Minnesota counties show an average Of 3YM
bushels. Nine Wisconsin counties show q
yield Of 271S bushels. Nine Nebraska coun-
ties show an average Of 28 bushels. The re-
ports from Michigan are the only ones dis.
closing an unusual yield. Thirteen counties
report an average yield of 841( bushels, and
it is certain that the average for the state
will far exceed that of any other great corn
raising state in the union.

the Federal court has ordered the Republican
county clerk to deposit all ballots tallysheets,
etc., in the Federal building safe They are
now in custody Of the United State authori-
ties, and Democrats who nave been Watching
the safe for several nights, are relieved. In

Vigo county, who is said to be justice Of
the peace, and therefore Ineligible
The Republicans have received afidavits
setting forth that he had been elected Justice
and had qualified. Tho Democrats say he
was elected but had not assumed his duties.
Senator Voorhees, says that Meagher's case
was brought to the attention of himself, ex-
Senator Mcdonald and prominent attorney
before the election, and they all decided that
he was eligible to the Legislature The Re
publicans intend to scat his opponent. This
brings more complications, as Meagher was
the Democratic and Labor candidate This
threat has aroused the latter element 1t will
probably control the United States senator
ship, as two other members represent labor

Donovan. the Jumper.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov 9,-Donovan, who
leaped from the suspension bridge Sunday
morning, passed restless night and consid-
cradle pain from the injury to his chest, sus-
tanned by striking the water diagonally
Friends who sat up with him during the
night say that he slept but little, and at
times moaned as il in pain. The physicians
say, however, that the danger to their
patient lies not so much in his injuries as to
his liability to an attack of pneumonia or
pleurisy, owing to his exposure in the icy
water. Donovan is receiving the most care
full attention and unless the fears Of the
physicians should be realized, will pull
through all right.

to this side of the Rio Grande by swimming
