The fate of Gladstone's Home Rule
bill is still very dubious. The Tories
and aristocrats of every grade and
shade are violently opposing it, abusing
Gladstone and threatening rebellion in
Ulster, which they say will be strongly
supported from England, in case Irish
affairs are turned over to an Irish parlia-
ment.

The following is from the Darlington
journal and will be of interest to our
miners: Joseph Edge, of New Diggins,
James Freeman, of Shullsburg, and
Thos. IL. Travis, of Fairview, H., are
prophet ors of lead mine which is
yielding them a bigger income than
even most country editors can boast of.
The mine is located one-half mile south
of the village of New Diggins, near the
great Champion lead, famous in years
agone. In three months the Bonanza
has yielded 10000 pounds of first quail
ity lead ore. worth 1927 per thousand
pounds at the mine. Two men take
out 1000 to 5000 pounds IN an eight
hour shift. The water has been trouble
some lately, and Mr.. Edge came to
Darlington and purchased $3.50 pump
which has been in use at the Loot
borough diggings in Fayette. The pump
was taken to New Diggings Yesterday
by six teams, driven respectively by
Frank Rispin, Henry Wilson, Joseph
Edge and G. S. Sedgwick, of New Dig
gings, J. Dornan, of Shullsburg. and
Geo Martin, of Darlington.

General MASTER Work man POwderIY

criticising the monthly financial circu-

statement was made that the Knights of
Labor were the same as the anarchists.
The Knights of Labor have no SYM
pathy whatever with the anarchists.
Such men as Herr Most and August
Spies condemn the Knights because
they are too conservative, while Jay
Gould and Henry Clews denounce the
order because its members will not sub
NIT quietly to every injustice or imposi-

and awaken & cooperative interest on
their part, much of the work of educ a
ton will prove of little or no avail.
Many valuable methods, many excel
lent suggestions, and much good legis-
lation, are thrown away because school
patrons have not been first educated to
understand aud approve change -Er.

But Que story Of WashOuts, Floods, and
Great Damage.
CHATTANOOGA, March 8l.-AtS s O'Clock
this morning the river at Chattanooga
registered 40 feet and was rising inches
per hour. The rise continued steadily,
and at O'Clock tonight the food was 43
feet 8 inches and rising. TelegTams from
all the river towns above indicate an un-
usual rise. The river above rose all daV
until O'clock, when a slight fan began
at Knoxville. The Clinch river was 45
feet above low water mark at Clinton at 3
O'Clock. Fifteen feet IS the danger line
on this stream. The Hiawassee Is also
feet higher than at any time since 1873,
and greatdamage will result. At SO'clock
tonight it is stll rising at the rate OF 4
inches per hour. A most careful estimate
places the maximum food at this point az
IS feet. This will submerge the outlying
districts, but will not inundate any busi-
ness blocks. A large number of families
had to move out, ana more are moving
out tonight.
MILLIONS OF FEET OF Logs
Nearly 100000 600 feet of logs lie mOored
at the river bank, aud all this property is
greatly endangered. Railroad traffic has
been entirely suspended on all roads CEN
ANAAuE uNiG iUl 70 uOuIbs anu II Is NOT
likely that any trains will be moved be-
fore tomorrow. The blockade Is due to
washOuts and slides on different lines OF
