OF forest trees and crops, to say nothing
OF the increased beauty and comfort of

THE ST. Louis detectives who have
been employed for the last few weeks
in telling who "Jim Cummings" the
alleged Adams Express robber, is and
where he boards and when they were
going to gather him in, have now con-
fessed that they don't know who or
where he is. "Jim" has been indus
triously writing letters and furnishing
envelopes which had contained part of
the stolen money as proofs of his iden-
tity, but all to no purpose. If "Jim
Cummings" doesn't want to pass into
history as a myth, along with "Tom
Collins" "Billy Patterson, and other
misbehaved nonentities, he should pre-
sent himself in person at the ST. Louis
police court with the stolen money
and two or three reputable witnesses
to identify him as the robber.

Labor Notes

The bottlers division OF the Glass Blow.
ers' League met in convention in Baltimore
on the 9th, and in secret session ordered
a strike among it's members in the eastern
division, which includes all the territory
east of the Alleghenies, including Canada
The strike goes into effect at once and is
against apprentices and q reduction Of 5
per cent. in wages. About $500 men are
affected by the svrike and fires were ordered
to be banked.
The Cecil (Md.) Star says that the Nc
Cullough Iron COmpany's rolling mills at
Northeast, W hich have been shut down since
August z, will be started up Immediately
the demands Of the strikers that wages be
advanced to the Wilmington scale having
been granted.
A sgreat deal of excitement prevails at
Amsterdam, N. Y, over the arrest OF moro
than 100 mill operatives, both men and
women, for doing picket duty at the mills
where the strikes are in progress. Messrs,
Bailey and Mcclure, of the Knights of La
Dor, are now in town helping along the
cause of the strikers. They have engaged
counsel to defend the prisoners at their
trial. At it's conclusion suits for damages
will be instituted against the officials who
caused the arrests. Unless the demands of
the strikers are acceded to within a. few
days, boycott will be placed on the prod
uct OF the mills. great meeting of Knights
was held on the 26th to protest against the
course OF the Manufacturers Association
and to devise means of effecting a settle
ment of the difficulties.
One hundred lady filters at the shoe fac
tory OF Wolfe q Co., at Cincinnati, are out
on q strike. The cause of their refusal to
work is the discharge of popular foreman
and the employment Of one who is not
looked upon with favor.

Bloody Encounter Between Natives and

Advicas from Durhan NOvemb er 2

Bloody Encounter Between Natives and
Portuguese Near InhambAne.
Advices from Durham, November 3,
state that a general and apparently
successful revolt Is in progress among
the natives against Portuguese author
titles in Southeast Africa. An American
missionary, the Rev. Mr.. Wilcox, ar
rived in Durham from the Portuguese
settlement on the east coast, above
the Transvaal. He reports as follows:
The natives at Inhambane, g. Portu-
guese port town 200 miles above Della
goa Bay, rose up against the Portu-
guese taxation and murdered the col
lector. On October % O. battle was
fought between 5000 Portuguese and
friendly natives on the one side, and
10000 hostile natives on the other.
The Portuguese were defeated and
routed, and the loss on both sides is
estimated at 5000 men. Mr.. Wilcox
says the governor of Mozambique has
gone into the country to attempt to
suppress the revolt and save the port
OF Inhambane from falling into the
hands of the insurgents. The town
was barricaded when the missionary
last heard from it, and the men and
children had been removed to ships
lying in the roadstead. The entire
country round about the town had
already been abandoned by the Port
uguese, and arrangements had been
made to remove the population of In
hambane out to sea ii the hostile ma
tives attacked the town in force.

DISFIGURED AND DEAD.
Fatal Explosion of Gas In PennsylvaniR
Goal Mine.


Fatal Explosion of Gas In a Pennsylvanis
Goal Mine.
An explosion of gas occurred in the
Conyngham shaft, near Wilkesbarre,
Pa, on the Goth, by which forty-two
men were severely burned and others
slightly. Twelve Of them will diefrom
their injuries. The shaft has been
known as one in which there was CON
siderable gas. The 25th being hoIi
day no work was done and conse-
quently there was q larger quantity Of
gas than usual in the mine The dis
aster, which occurred about 7:1O
O'Clock, was caused by Cornelius Boyle,
g. mine laborer, who stepped into a
worked-out chamber which was filed
with gas, with lighted lamp upon his
hat. Boyle will die. About fifty men,
miners and laborers, were sitting at
the foot of the shaft, waiting for the
inside boss, when the terrible explo
sion took place, and only three four
men, SO far as can be ascertained, es-
capped without injury.
The scene at the colliery while the
injured men were being taken from the
shaft was terrible. A crowd of several
hundred persons had gathered at the
mouth Of the shaft, among them the
wives, mothers and daughters of the
injured men. AS they were taken out
of the pit they were brought to the en-
CINE house, and the women made des-
perate efforts to gain entrance. Their
entreaties and frantic demonstrations
OF grief were heartrending, but they
were sternly kept outside the building
while the blackened, scorched and
bleeding victims of the disaster were
wrapped in blankets and soaked in
oil. The floor of the engine. house
was covered with writhing humanity
SO disfgured by fire as to be unrecog.
nlzable AS fast as possible they were
taken to the hospital or to their
homes and SO rapidly was the work
done that by 9 o'clock every one mad
been taken out and carried away.
The recovery of the following is be-
lieved to be hopeless: Hugh Sweeny
aged 27, unmarried; Edward Kerns,
aged 20, laborer, unmarried; Richard
Coulter, aged 20, miner, wife and fami-
ly; Condy Sannon, aged 81, miner,
wife and largefamily; Thomas o. Brien.
aged 30, miner, wife and large family
Cornelius Boyle, aged 38, married,
wife and family, reported dead; John
Cannon, aged 40, miner, wife and fami-
ly; Christopher Brundage. aged 35,
laborer, unmarried: Michael O'Briep,
aged so, lsborer, unmarried; Daniel
Ferry, aged 80, miner, wife and large
family: John Dougherty, aged 81;
laborer, unmarried; Dennis McCabe,
aged 40, miner, unmarried.
Two miners, whose names are un-
known, are among the missing, and it
is believed that they were blown into a
dump containing thirty feet of water
and were drowned. David Mcdonald,
inside fireman, was caught in the after
damp and was overcome. He was
taken out as soon as possible and re-
vived on reaching the upper air. His
injuries are slight. Seventeen mules
were severely burned and many of
them were shot to relieve them from
their sufferings.

HOXEN DEAD.
Demise OF the Missouri Pacific Manager
In New York City.

Oem1s0 OF the missouri Pacific manager
In New York City.
New YORK, Nov. 23.-H. M. Hoxie,
general manager OF the Gould South
western system, died this morning at
the Broadway.
Mr.. Hoxie died at $50 O'Clock this
morning at his rooms in the Metropoli-
tan Opera House. The cause of his
death was exhaustion consequent on
an operation performed on him at
Saratoga, in June last, by removing
stones from his bladder. He has also
suffered from kidney disease for the
last thirty-five years. He had been
very weak for the last seven days, but
his doctors had great hopes of his re-
covery. The patient began to sink
rapidly at 5 o'clock last evening, but
was conscious to thelast Mrs. Hoxie
and Capt. Hayes were with him when
he expired.
Shortly after the troubles on the
Wabash system of railroads and the
Southwestern roads, last May, Mr..
Hoxie began to complain of pains in
his loins. Finally he became so much
worse that he was compelled to give
up his work and take q much needed
rest. The trouble with the strikers
worried him very much. He left ST.
Louis in the latter part of May, and
came east to Saratoga. After consul
tation with physician he concluded
to have the operation performed
which resulted in his death. After
the operation Mr.. Hoxie was relieved1
and felt better for time than he had
for years. He hoped that by taking
rest he would regain his health entire
ly. Mr.. Hoxie in company with his
wife took a trip to Montreal, August
25. From there they went to Quebec
and the White Mountains. He came
to N W York, September 10, and took
apartments in the Broadway
flats in the Metropolitan Opera
House block. He becameill. His ply
sicians, Drs. Metcalf and Ward,
were called. He was still weak from
the effects of the operation. Any ex-
element was deleterious. He failed
rapidly, but suffered little, and had
hopes that he would be able soon to
attend O. meeting of the managers Of
the Southwestern Pool. Mrs. Hoxie
and Capt. Hayes were with Mr.. Hoxie
continually.
Friday Mr.. Hoxie was able to sit
up for a. short time and had the news
papers read to him. Yesterday he
received several friends in the morning
and talked with his wife about bust
ness affairs in the afternoon.
At 5 O'Clock in the evening he COM
planned of feeling weak and he
stated that he thought he was going to
die. Mr.. Hoxie's physician, DR.. Met
cali, said to. day, that his patient had
a wonderful will power and that he
fought bravely against death. If he
had been younger man with a strong
constitution he would have lived.

Four Men Killed.

In a collision at Savoy, ILL.,, on the night
of the 3d. between two Illinois Central
trains, four men were instantly killed and
one fatally wounded. A freight train, in
the caboose of which were Albert Dunlap,
grain buyer, John Mcdonald, stock dealer,
and James Todd, blacksmith, stopped at
Savoy for few minutes. The crew failed
to send back a dagman. A wild train fol-
lowing crashed into the caboose, killing the
occupants. F. III. Sanderson, brakeman
on the rear train, was thrown into the
wreck of the engine and scalded almost be-
yond recognition. The engineer of the wild
train, James Neer, was decapitated. When
found, his hand was on the throttle and his
head rod away.

scheme to Draw Money From We aithy
Men OF Detroit.

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 49, Cuban
eharpers, evidently the same gang who
have been swindling rich Philadel-
phians, are playing their game in this
region. Aletter written in Spanish was
recently brought to Herman Freund
with q request from the receiver Of the
letter, wealthy citizen of Birming
ham, for translation. The letter was
postmarked Havana, and the writer
said that he was formerly high Off
cial in the government service and had
absconded to the United States several
months previous with 100000 in
Spanish bonds. He exchanged the
bonds at New Orleans for United
States securities, and with the Sc
curities on bis person made trip
through the States, going as far north
as Birmingham. Becoming suspicious
that he was being Swallowed, he buried
his stolen wealth in the vicinity of
Birmingham. He then returned to
the South, and at Key West was kid
into the government prison. The
writer went on to say that he was still
in prison. He had heard while In
Birmingham of the high standing of
the man he was addressing. and
he offered to give him one-third OF
the securities if be would
interest himself in securing the writer's
release. Before anything could be
done, however, it was necessary to
negotiate some OF the securities. A
plan of the locality where they were
buried was among his baggage which
was detained by the Havana police,
and ST., 500 was needed to release it.
If the Birmingham business man would
send the money the plan would be
mailed to him. Three weeks ago
similar letter was brought to Mr..
Freund from another party, and an
other letter, last week, from still an.
other citizen. The men singled out by
the sharpers are all rich. 1t is not
known whether any of them have &C.
cepted the offer or not.

When the attorneys brought in their bills
for services-according to their own state
ment-Keliy demanded $40, 900, Trumbun
$4,000, and Sleater $4,000, as recon-
pence for advice which had not been taken.
Mrs. Richardson considered the charges ex.
orbitant and refused to pay. She drew
1852 900 from the Alpena bank and went
to Detroit to keep it away from the law
yers, placing $59, 900 in the American Ex-
change National Bank of that city. How
ever, the lawyers followed her, and learning
that they had taken out garnishment for
the bank, she drew her money out and has
since kept it about her person, The law
yers say she is a miser and crazy.

That the Continental Hotel. Chicago, was

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 26.-During the
investigation, this morning, into the
causes of yesterdays fire in the Con.
tinental Hotel, Inspector Shay dis
covered unmistakable evidence Of in
cendiarism at the hotel. AT the head
of the hatchway, leading into the gar
ret above the fourth floor, and where
the rafters of the roof are within three
and q half feet of the garrett floor, a
pile of bed-ticks, stuffed with shavings,
torn open in several places and
daubed with common lard from pie
pan, which lay beside, showing the
finger prints of one who did the work,
was found. The incendiary evidently
was scared away before he had time
to complete his work of firing the
house. The fire was discovered be-
tween 2 and O'Clock yesterday morn
ing and promptly put out. "Had
there been q delay of ten minutes, T"
said Inspector Shay, sin the discovery
of the fire and giving the alarm to the
guests, l haven't the slightest doubt
that MANY of them would have jumped
from the windows to the groundi in the
panic or been lost and smothered in
smoke. The building is an old fire
trap, any way, and it was fired in no
less than six places

that the advertisements spoke only of draw

time ago and the fact was made public
only on the oath. Judge Robertson
said: "People are very curious to know
