The majority of the fourth pool miners are
idle. and the miners in that pool say that the
prospects of their startng soon are very slight,
as the operators depend upon those of the lower
pools for craft, and the Cincinnati market is
already well stocked. Formerly these mines
were kept in operation by the local trade, but
the introduction of natural gas has destroyed
that business.

of Senator Hawley who is great friend of

Toledo Democrats Discover that They Have
No Further Use for Frank Hurd.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. May 26.-Frank Hurdis friends
are claiming that the coal-oil crowd are after
him, and pursuing him unrelentingly in every
thing he enters having an official or political
bearing. Hurd attempted, some time ago, to
control the appointment of an internal revenue
collector for the Toledo district. He urged the
retirement of Kumler and the appointment Of
Harvey Platt, who has given Hurd stanch sup
port in his congressional campaigns during the
past fourteen years. A short time before Hurd's
contested election was reported from the COM
mittee to the House. he was given to under
stand by Secretary Manning, in az indirect way,
that in event Romeis was ousted, Platt would
be appointed but If the contest resulted other
wise, some one who could shoulder the response
bilty of the appointment would be allowed to
name the man. Hurd realized that this meant
Senator Payne. Since his defeat Hurd has con-
tinued to urge his friend upon Secretary Man
ming, but Ohioans say Payne will fill the place
after Congress adjourns.
Intelligence comes here from the old Tenth
Ohio district that the Democrats are organizing
against Hurd, and intend to refuse him another
nomination for Congress, or any further politi-
cal honors that they are tired of his campaigns,
and do not regard him as legal or Legitimate
resident Of the district They do not think he
has made good record as candidate. having
been defeated four out of seven times; so Frank
Hurd, the great free-trader. has heen repudiat-
ed by his constituents, and is political cast-off.
There is no probability of his ever coming to
Congress again from the Toledo district. Hurd
has been here nearly all winter, and is here at
this time. He has good law practice, mostly
in the departments, and socially and profession
ally is one of the most genial and popular men
in Washington.

MIR. FoLLErT MISSES A FEE.

A Suggestion to Ohio Democratic Congress-
men Which Did Not Meet Approval.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-Some days ago a
proposition was received by the eleven Demo-
cratic members of Congress from Ohio, from
law firm In Cincinnati, suggesting that they con.
tribute $4,000 in order to pay the expenses Of
contesting in the courts the action Of the Ohio
Legislature in the redistricting of the State.
A consultation was held and the proposition at
first received some favor, but when it was dis
covered that the law firm of which ex Congress
man Follett was a member was the author of
the scheme it was set upon at once. Follett
is the gentleman who advised the Democratic
members of the Legislature to go off and leave
that body without quorum, and Is responsible
for the fiasco that followed. If the members Of
Congress should raise purse for the purpose OF
testing the legality of tho action of the Legis-
lature, the firm to which Mr.. Follett belongs will
not be retained.

for liquor. Scovile, Guteaus brother-in-law,
has been curscd out of his good name, his home,
wife, and all that could make man either COM
Portable or happy. President Arthur, who
signed Guiteau's death warrant, is dying with
Briehts disease. One judge who passed upon
the Guiteau case has been showed off the bench.
Dick Merrick, one of the lawyers, died suddenly,
just at the time when he thought he had most Of
his life ahead of him. And his wife followed
him within week. Half Of the jurors have
died. DR.. Kempster, of Wisconsin one of the
prominent witnesses in the case, is an exile from
domestic happiness, with disagreeable divorce
suit on his hands. Strong, the Jail surgeon, who
felt the last pulse beat of life in the assnssin died
last year. About the only man who had any
thing to do with the Guiteau trial, who feels at
all comfortable, is Colonel Corkhill. There
seems to have been a singular fatality about
that trial. OF course. nobody believes that
Guiteau's curse had anything to do with these
mishaps. Still, there they are following in
very short space of time after the execution of
the assassin, and the superstitious will always
find in them food for reflection.

GUITEAU's CURSE.

One of tho Anathematzed Men Falls Heir

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-Every day or two
some one of the names made familiar during the
sickness Of Garfield and the trial of Guiteau
comes to the surface in the newspapers. The
last item is that Dr. Reyburn, one of Garfeld's
physicians, has fallen heir to a considerable
fortune left him by his aunt, Mrs. Langford.
This is one Of the few instances where any one
connected with the great tragedy has had good
luck. Charles Reed, who was Guiteau's coun-
sci, is in hiding. having barely escaped States
prison for getting money under false pretenses.
Reed is Q bright lawyer, with aninsatiable thirst

Boston, May 26-The employees of all the
steam railroads running from Boston, particu-

ganizing themselves into local assemblies of
Knights of Labor. This week a general move

be sent to all the large corporations. These let

have been received from several of the railroads

of directors of the respective roads, and that
when acted upon the executive board will be
notified.
