The Popular science Monthly.

The Popular Science Monthly for No
vember offers many articles which the
thoughtful reader and the one who ask
for instruction will prize. In the Open
ing Professor Newberry, OF Columbia
College, under the heading of North
America in the Ice Period" writes of
the glacial period. The Rev. A. II.
Lewis, D. D., in the "Or1gin and
Results of Sunday legislation" traces
the origin to decree of Constantine the
Great. Professor Charles A. Young of
Princeton, describes the Recent AID
vances in Solar Astronomy" as being
rather in the direction of greater exact
ness in observation and knowledge than
of great discoveries. Mr.. w. II.
Larrabee gives an interesting account of
the recent celebration, in Paris, Of the
one hundred and first birthday of NJ.
CheVreul, the eminent chemist. In the
Geology of the Atlantic Ocean" is
given the first half of Sir William Daw-
sons address as the President of the
British Association. 1t embodies q
valuable and interesting lesson in the
ea;ly history of the building Hp of the
earth. Mr.. Joseph F. James gives, with
pertinent illustrations, the history of
the development of The Hickory Nuts
of North America. All VINO think well
OF whisky, and all who think i'll Of it,
will be interested in MrW E. Bradley's

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 25.-Mrs. Kate
Elliott Upperman, the well-known singer,
has filed a suit in chancery against T. 81.
Upperman for divorce and for the custody
of their child. The petition states that the
defendant cursed and abused and mis-
treated plaintiff so that through fear of him
she was compelled to go to her fathers
house to live. That on one occasion, and
taking advantage of the absence of her
father, the defendant came into her room
and in fit of drunken rage tore off the
lambreQuin from the mantel and threw it
III the fire. and plaintiffs pocketbook and
bonnet were also destroyed by him in the
same manner. 1t is further stated that de-
PENDANT has frequently besought plaintiffs
father for permiSsisn to return and live at
his house, and that under promise of reform
such permission has more than once been
given, but defendant invariably began
drinking again. Letters are filed as eX-
hibits with the petition, wherein the de-
PENDANT begged Mrs. Upperman's father to
forgive him for the past and to give him
another trial. One dated Dec. 2, 1854,
says that the writer is without home and
moneyless and begs pity in the name of
heaven. The plaintiff also states that the
defendant finally abandoned her July go,
1885. In addition to divorce and the Gus
tody of her child she prays restoration to
her maiden name, of Katie Fisher Elliott,
and for an order restraining defendantfrom
molesting or in any way interfering with
the plaintiff as to the custody of said child.
The restraining order was granted by the
court pending further proceedings. Mrs.

TYRONE, Pa, May ga settlement of
the strike in the Clearfield bituminous coal
district was effected to-day by mutual con-
cessions on both sides. The result was
wholly unexpected and gives rise to great
satisfaction to both operators and miners.
To-day committee of five. representing
5000 miners, instructed to act independ-
emily of the federation or Knights of Labor,
met here with committee of operators APP
pointed by the Philadelphia coal exchange.
After considering the question of resump-
ton a written agreement was
effected whereby the miners agree to
resume at the old wages Of 40 cents
per 2,240 pounds, ON condition of just
weight with check weighmen, abolition of
the store order system and cash monthly
payments and the privilege of making pur-
chases wherever desired. The price for all
dead work and other disputes will be
settled between mine superintendent and
their, men and that all miners shall be re-
| employed without discrimination. Work
will be resumed on Thursday next. This
action governs two-thirdS of all the miners
in the district. No action the miners in
Federation No. 8 may now take, can
change the result of to-day'S work of the

him in Grand style for several days and ac-

He was kept in state Of intoXicatlon the

evidence of fraud. The commissioner
says this is but one of several instances,
and he is thinking seriously of making a
sweeping change in the entire corps.

THE WOMAN A WITCH.
A Murder Trial with Strange Conn
plicotiOnss

special TO the GLOBE.
ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, May 25.-A unique
and unusual case was tried here to-day before
Judge Brinker, sitting in the district court for
the trial Of otfenSes against the United States.
1t was an Indictment for murder against Nan
Mock Qui, Il Zuni Pueblo Indian and native
of the much-taiked-of Zuni in this territory,
charged with the killing of Lila Lusi, Il Zuni
woman OF about 2j years OF age, ON Dec. 81,
1855. The prosecution was conducted by
United States Attorney Smith, and the ac-
cuSed tai able counsel in the person of Hon.
IL. ). Warren, one OF the leading lawyers OF the
Southwest, whom the court assigned to that
duty. The jury principally composed of
MeXicans) having been impanelled, the de-
Tense moved the court to exclude all evidence
on the ground that the facts expected to be
proved did rot constitute an OffelSe properly
cogniZaLle by the United States authorities
This brought on an able legal discussion, in
volving the whole yeXed and intricate QueS-
ton OF the citizenship of the Pueblo Indians
and their relations to the United States gov
eminent. The court refused to exclude evil
dence, holding that it would not be proper to
pass on the objection to the proceedings at
this stage of tie case. Witnesses testified
that the woman as found
DEAD IN HER HOUSE
and that the defendant admitted having killed
her by striking her twice over the head with
an axe. When asked why he had done So he
said: ''Where are my children!'' and then
went on to state the woman had killed his two
little girls by witchcraft, that she was Il witch.
had put boards across their backs" and
from that charm they died. She had told him,
he said to another witness, that she would
destroy these children by her spells and also
kill his other child and then him. He at
tempted no concealment OF his crime, and
showed no contrition, and kept about his wori,
in the usual way until he was arrested some
weeks after. The prosecution having closed,
the defense demurred to the evidence
and the court su aimed the demurrer
on the ground that in the present
state OF the law the ofense was not
against tie United States as charged
in the indictment. The jury was discharged
and the defendant held to await the action of
the territorial grand jury, or new indct-
ment in form by the United States grand
jury. both of which bodies are now in session.
During the trial Nan Mock Qui, with a red
handkerchief bound around his brow, sat APP
parently unmoved by and regardless of what
was going on. He has the features OF q
fanatic, and is said by some 10 be insane. In
the audience were conspicuous the swarthy
countenances and savage garb of other Zunis,
summoned as witnesses in the case.

Opposed to pressed Beef.

ST.. LOUIS, May 25.-About 500 dele
gates from fifteen states have arrived here
to attend the first annual convention of the
National Butchers Association. The
butchers met this morning and were called
to order by G. II. Simpson, chairman of the
committee on organization, and were well
coined and given the freedom of the city by
Mayor Francis. He was responded to by
Thomas Armour, president of the associa-
ton, and the convention then proceeded to
effect a temporary organization. The COM
plants against the dressed beef monopoly
seem to be uppermost in the minds of the
delegates, and there is no doubt that the
great work of the convention will be to
organize in self-defense. 1t is proposed by
many to practically boycott the great dressed
beef firms and to pledge themselves to con-
tinue slaughtering for themselves or at any
rate in their own cities,

AN AWFUL EXPLOSION.
One Hundred Kegs of Powder Ig.
nited by IA Spark.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. May 25.-Details of
the terrific explosion of leo kegs of powder
at Soddy coal mines near Chattanooga
yesterday have been received to-
night. One of the locomotives of the
company was going from the railroad
station to the mines with the powder in
charge of William Lloyd and David Harper.
The locomotive was running at rapid rate.
when a key of powder was overturned and
the CONTENTS scattered i'll the car. The next
moment spark from the engine ignited the
powder, and the explosion followed.
Three seconds after every key OF
the powder had exploded, and three
mangled human bodies lay fifty feet
away, down the embankment. The effect
of the explosion was frightful. The loco
motive and two flat cars were torn to atoms
and some portions of them hurled hundreds
OF yards. When the explosion occurred a
miner named Ike Ramsey was stand
ing near the track waiting fol
the train to pass. He, together
with Lloyd and Harper were thrown down
the embanbment, and when found all were
in dying condition. They presented a
most sickening sight. Their bodies were
blackened from the burns and the flesh,
covered with dirt and blood, hung in shreds
from their bodies. ALI the men died at
midnight last night

LONDON, May 25.-The cabinet met at
noon, and when it had been in session half
an hour, a special messenger was dispatched
after Baron Herschell, lord high chancellor.
He was at the time engaged in great law
suit, but the nature of the summons he re-
ceived induced him to abruptly cancel his
engagement and repair at once to the cabi-
net meeting. The meeting lasted an hour
and twenty minutes, and very soon after
the adjournment Mr.. Gladstone started for
Windsor to see the queen. Various con-
lectures were INDUCED in as to the nature
OF the decision arrived at by the cabinet,
but the actual upshot of it is virtually a
move in the direction of a concession to
the disaffected Liberals. Several of
the ministers urged that clause "A
of the home-rule bill be eliminated.
After a long discussion it was decided
to leave the matter in Mr.. Gladstone'S
hands to deal with as he might think fit.
His mind was apparently quickly made up,
for early in the evening the government
whips were instructed to summon the rank
and file of the Liberal party to general
meeting on Thursday, when notifications
of the home rnle will be announced in Or
der to preserve the government from defeat
on the second reading. MI. Morley was
alone III continuing to oppose the elemlna-
ton of clause "a from the home
rule bill. The Harrington section main
tain their enmity to the bill, and will not
attend the Liberal conference. The minis
tiers are confident that with the accession of
thirty-five diffident and ''doubtfuls"
they will have majority of forty. The
bill will be estopped after the second read
ing. 1t is probable that parliament will be
dissolved III the autumn. If the Gladstone
government be returned the winter session
will be devoted exclusively to the discussion
of the home rule bill.

Discoveries of Grave Di.gers.

OpVCIdI 10 UlG UIUUt.
WELLsvILLE, o., May 25.-Workmen
engaged in removing bodies from the old
graveyard in the west end of the town,
made some CHASTITY discoveries this morn
ing. Both were unknown dead, and had
been buried thirty-five or forty years. One
coffin was noticed to be very heavy, and
when opened contained nothing but large
stones. The body had undoubtedly been
stolen by ghouls years ago. When another
coffin was opened, CHASTITY sight met the
gaze of the party. The head of the sEeie-
ton was turned face downward almost
under the shoulder, while the position of
the hands and knees were such that little
doubt exists that the unfortunate had been
buried alive, and his struggles must have
been frightful when he realized his awful
situation.

LARGE LOCKOUT.
Eight Thousand People in New
York Idle.

NEW YORK, May 25.-The general lock-
out threatened by the Contractor Tailor's as
ISOLATION, unless about 800 iourneymen who
have struck in twenty-five shops against the
task system should return to work by Sun
day, was carried into effect yesterday, and
in consequence about 5000 men and wo-
men are now idle. AS soon as the work
men learned of the lockout they flocked to
the headquarters of their executive commit
tee. They were sent to Turner hall, in East
Tbirty-fourth street, where mass meet
ing was held. The workmen expressed
their determination not to abandon their de-
mand for the abolition of task work, and
the adoption in its place of the weekly wage
system on the basis of ten hours work for
five days and nine hours work on the sixth.
The contractors thereupon held a meeting
and declared that they would keep their
shops closed for whole year, if necessary,
to compel the men to come to terms. A
number of the contractors, however, in con-
versation said they would like to see the
trouble ended, as this is one of the busiest
seasons.
