pleasant business, but If il tends TO bring
ont the truth it is not altogether bad.
But about the Tissue of falsehoods"-
who's is IL? The first line of my communi-
cation gave the Northwestern Miller Of
March as my authority. If there is any
falsehood out, or mistake, that reliable
paper must share part of the blame, and
Mr.. Reeve for emitting 10 mention that fact
in his reply has laid himself open 10 the
charge he makes.
In my comments on the statement OF the
Miller may have been in error. 1t may
have been wrong in me 10 say that
Mr. Reeve is, a good business
man with long head as well
as full purse. He made a good bargain
for himself as well as the company, and
naturally feels indignant that the men
should plead suffering families as an ex-
cuse for not keeping their word" liz may
have been wrong" | say. for Mr.. Reeve
speaks with such heat as 10 show that he
was indignant when / was told that
the question was being discussed in our
factory / simply refused 10 believe It."
The Miller, which is not now before me,
certainly did represent Mr.. Reeve as COM
planning that he had lost money by keeping
more men in his pay than he had need for,
and in this reply he confirms that assertion
by asserting. Il had employed more men
all winter than l had any need for" Why
was that put in if Mr.. Reeve had lost
nothing by il?
Mr.. Reeve denies that he had lost money;
denies that his company is embarrassed.
Mr.. Reeve is well-educated gentleman.
Does he not know that my second paragraph
was ironically asserting that he was not
suffering from his lOsses-was in no danger
OF failure, and thus strengthening the next
sentence about the wives and children Of
the men dismissed? Is he sincere in pro-
Tossing 10 believe that was trying to make
the impression that he or his company was
embarrassed or liable to fail? Is he clearly
free from the charge of falsehood himself!

LONDON, May 25.-The cabinet met at

an hour, special messenger was dispatched
after Baron Herschell, lord high chancellor.
de 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 indulged 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 concession to
the disafected Liberals. Several of
the ministers urged that clause "a
of the home-rule bill be eliminated.
After long discussion it was decided
to ..leave the matter in Mr.. Gladstones
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. Mr.. Morley was
alone IN 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
ters 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.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, May 25.-A unique
and unusual ease was tried here to-day before
Judge Brinker, sitting in the district court for
the trial of otfenSes against the United States.
Ii 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 Liza LuSi a Zuni
woman OF about % years OF age, on Dec. 81,
1850. The prosecution vas conducted by
United States Attorney Smith, and the ac-
cused hai able counsel in the person of Hon.
II. s. 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 gcound that the facts expected to be
proved did lot constitute an offelse properly
cogniZable by the United States authorities.
This brought OH an able legal discussion, in
volViug the whole veXed and intricate QueS-
ton OF the citizenship OF the Pueblo Indians
and their relations 10 the United States gov
ernment. The court refused to exclude evil
dence, holding that it would not be proper to

tempted no concealment OF his crime, and
showed no contrition,an kept about his work
in the usual way until he was arrested some
weeks after. The prosecution having closed,
the defense demurred to the evidence
and the court 81 ,ained the demurrer

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

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 25.-Details of
the terrific explosion of 100 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 keg of powder was overturned and
the coutents scattered in the car. The next
moment spark from the engine ignited the
powder, and the explosion followed.
Three seconds after every keg of
the powder had exploded, and three
mangled human bodies lay fifty feet
away, down the embankmeDt. The effect
of the explosion was frightful. The loco
motive and two fiat 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 hear the track waiting for
the train to pass. He, together
with Lloyd and Harper were thrown down
the embankment, and when found all were
in a 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. All the men died at

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. H.!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-
tion, and the convention then proceeded to
effect temporary organization. The COM
plants against the dressed beefEmonopoly
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.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Commissioner
Sparks is dissatisfied with the present corps
Of special agents, whose duty it is to inves-
tigate fraudulent entry of land in the West.
When Mr.. Sparks became commissioner OF
the land office he removed all the RepuDll-
cans, believing that they were acting IN
collision with the land sharks and others
engaged in robbing the government, and
filed their places with Democrats. lie
now confesSes that the one set is fully as
derelict in the performance of its duty as
the other was. Several weeks ago one OF
these agents was sent on a special mission
to a Western state, and when he arrived at
the capital he fell into the hands OF the
men he was instructed to avoid, who feted
him in grand style for several days and ac-
companed him upon his tour of inspection.
He was kept in state of intoXication the
entire time, and his report states that his
investigation failed to reveal the slightest
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.

CHICAGO, May 25.-Ald. Dixon to-day
secured the pardon of young man named
W. Fl. Custer from the house of correc-
ton. He was among some unfortunates
arrested at Lincoln park ON Sunday for
picking flowers, and upon his failing to pay
fine of 81, imposed by Justice Kersten,
was sent to the lookup to work out the
same. 1t turns out that he was aJyoung
man of respectable connections and meIn-
Der of the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton, and upon being fined wrote note to
the alderman asking his assistance In
stead of the alderman being communicated
with directly, the note was mailed and did
not reach him until to-day. and in the
meantime the young man had been trans
ported. The alderman was very Indignant
over the affair, as was also the mayor, and
at the next meeting of the council he will
introduce an ordinance prohibiting the
sending of persons to the house of correc-
ton, unless the fine imposed is in excess of
So. This, he says, is the first case in
which anyone has been sent out on a 81
fine, and 1t will be the last if he can get
the council to act in the matter.

MIS-. Holt is described as a fine-looking,
Wen-preserved woman of the blonde type,
ABOUT 90 years of age. She was a Miss
Dean, descendant of an old and wealthy
Georgia family, prior to her marriage to
Gen. Holt. There is believed to have been
romantic attachment between her and
Mr. Lamar, who was atthat time quite a
young man. Events did not shape them
selves as the young people wished, and
after a time Miss Dean married Mr.. Holt
and Mr.. Lamar married someone else.
Mrs. Holt became the mother of two
daughters, both of whom are married-one
to Mr. Bergen, the representative of
AN OLD MACON FAMILY,
the other to Capt. Robert E. Park. for
merly of La Grange. When Gen. Holt
died some three years ago he left his wife

TYRONE, Pa, May 25.-A settlement of
the strike in the Clearfeld 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 ap-
pointed by the Philadelphia coal exchange.
After considering the question of resump-
ton 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 superintendents 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. may now take, can
change the result of to-day's work of the
independent committee.
