WHY MIR. RAMsDELL Is OUT.
He Declined TO Compromise Before
Trial of Suit.

lTlhl Oh " Sults
The removal Of Register OF Wills RIMS
dell is said to be the result Of trouble con-
cening forfeited bond. Mr., Ramsdell
and w. l.. Vanderlip, q pension agent, were
on the bond Of a consul, and became re-
sponsIble for about $I0O, which, on last
March, had not yet been paid. 1t is we'll
established rule that the government win
not pay money to an individual who is in
debt TO the government. Under this rule
the salary Of Mr.. Vanderlip was held up,
but Mr.. Ramsdells salary could not be
touched, as he was paid out Of fees. His
unwlllingness to compromise the matter Is
said to be the cause Of his dismissal, as 1t
was understood It was the Presidents in-
tentlon oretain him. Mr.. Ramsdell says
bis dismissal was without hearing. He
had declined a proposition to compromise
the matter pending the result OF suit
against him on the bond, and he preferred
TO await the result OF that suit

A WATER-SPOUT.

A Woman and Child Drowned by Water
spout Near Emporia. Kan.
EMPoHIA, Kan, May Last evening
news reached here that about neon 4 water
spout burst on Jacobs creek, fourteen miles
southwest of EmpOria. II. 3. Jacobs, whose
farm is located short distance below where
the waterspout burst. hurried to harness up
his team SO that he and his family might
escape the dangers of the already overflow
ing creek. He, his brother Charles, his
wife and two children had barely time to
take their places in the wagon when it was
picked up by the waters, hurting it, its con-
tents and the mule team down the stream.
MIR. Jacobs made frantic attempts to save
the life of his wife and youngest son, but
was himself overcome and forced down the
creek, until bleeding and bruised, he was
cast upon the bank almost half mile be-
low. while Mrs. Jacobs and the youngest
child were swept away and drowned.
Charles Jacobs saved his own life and that
CT the other child by grasping the low
hanging branches of tree and drawing
himself and the child out of dam
ger. The body of the drowned child
was found Yesterday afternoon
about mile down the creek. Mrs. Jacobs
body, although a large searching party arc
on the outlook, had not been recovered up
to late hour last evening. In addition to
the fatalities mentioned the waterspout
caused great deal of damage to property
or both sides of the creek; how much at
present can not be estimated. The storm
between Florence and EmpOria was very Sc
we're, the hail stones being OF immense size.
The eastern bound passenger train on the
Santa Fe road had great many window
lights broken by the hail.

GENERAL NILES.

Preparing For the Apache Campaign
White Renegades Among the Hostiles.
TOMBSTONE, A. T., May 7.-General
Miles has been in Wilcox for a couple o.
days preparing for long and relentless
chase after Geronimo. For this purpose
Captain Lawton, an old and experienced
Indian fighter, left Uuachuca to-day with a
force of eighty picked infantry and twenty
scouts selected from the command. He
is well provided with all necessarieS and
has ample means to purchase whatever
he may need in Mexico, and is given
carte blanche as to expenditures. His Or
ders are to follow GeronimO's trail even if
it takes him to the City of Mexico. He
may be gone six months or more, no limit
of time having been made. Captain Law
ton also takes with him some members of
the Signal Service Corps. Captain Upper
will operate in Sonora independently
against the Indians. General Miles mas
lot yet decided upon his headquarters,
nd is just as likely to establish HIM
elf here as in any other place. The dis
harged scouts who We're dismissed at Fort
apache are restless dissatisfied and threat
ming. They are at present causing Gem
raj Miles more anxiety than the hostiles.
There is only one company of troops at
Apache now, but several more have been
sent up there as precautionary measure.
1t is asserted on the very best authority that
among the band of Apaches who murdered
Peck's wife and child were two renegade
white men. one of whom was half brother
10 Peck, and it was through the in:erccsSion
Of this man that Peck's life was saved.

The Labor Question in Pittsburgh.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, May S.-The labor
question in this city has practically set
tied down to the demands of the stone.
masonS, stonc-cutters, cabinent-makers
and bakers. 1t is probable that general
strike of the latter will occur to-day.
Their demands are for twelve hours day
light work. Forty of the smaller shops
have conceded the demands. The
lourneymen at 100 other bakeries will
probably refuse to go TO work in the
morning.
There is prospect that the furniture
firms will reach an amicable settlement
with The cabinet-makers. 1t is under
stood they will agree to the Eight-Hour
proposition, but will ask a readjustment
of wages for piece work.
Two hundred teasers and mixers EN-.
ployed in twenty South Side glass-houses
struck yesterday for an advance of ten
per cent. in wages.
Five hundred employees of the bar and
sheet mill departments of Byers' pipe
mill also struck for ten and fifteen per
cent. advance. The difficulty will likely
be settled to-day. Estimates of the mum.

which was to ihcite riot, calling on the
workingmen to unite and then to burn and
ptIlage. The rooms had the appearance OF
having been hurriedly deserted, and all
arms were acknowledgment two revolvers OF
ancient pattern. A visit was paid to the
hall above the Office on Eighteenth place.
There the walls We're hung with blood

German, which being translated, read as
follows:
Long Live Social Revolution "The
Land Belongs to ALL" death to All
Tyrants," ''WOrkingnen of all Countries
Unite Liberty or Death,'' "Long Live

The above were printed in Bohemian and
are exceedingly peaceful when compared
with those which follow printed in German:

Destroy Them" Misery is the Visitor of
