Mailing a Malicious Lie.

A lie that originated with the New
York Tribune, and has since been ex-
tended by Eastern and Western papers
until it has become story of consider
able proportion and alarming details
ought to be coutradicted. The story
referred to il that about the alleged
quarrel at the cabinet meeting on the
day of Mr. Manning's prostration. II
set forth with pretended details how
the president had found fault with the
secretary of the treasury for changing
the language Of letter to Senator
Morrill, replying to certain requests for
information. Mr.. Manning was rep
resented as being so indignant that he
would not speak TO his cabinet associ-
ates, and that he left declaring his in
tentior of Immediately writing his let
ter of resignation. The inference to be
drawn from this story was that Mr..
Manning had been goaded into frenzy
by i'll treatment, and that while smart.
ing under this alleged bad treatment
he was stricken with apoplexy. The
story was one made out of whole cloth.
Its truth or untruth could have been
established by questioning any one or
all of the other members of the cabinet
present. Not one of these gentlemen
or the president has ever been asked
to corroborate the story or derry it.
They could not rush desperately into
print to deny every mendacious var n
that floats out of the capital concerning
the administration. Mr.. Manning was
in no condition to be told about the
cause of his prostration-at least not
about this alleged cause, or to stop 1t
by a Remuneration of it. If one mem
Der of the cabinet had been asked a.
bout the matter he would have said :
"This is the most contemplate OF all
the unnecessary lies yet set atioat a.
bout the cabinet. There never was a
story made more completely out of
whole cloth. 1t is absolutely without
foundation. There never has been the
least rupture between the president
and Mr.. Manning or between MIR. Man
ming and any other member of the
cabinet The letter to Senator Nor
rill in reply to the call for information
about suspensions of collectors had the
,president's sanction and approval as to
every word. There were some peculiar
ly cordial and pleasing features about
the last cabinet meeting which canno,
be mentioned in detail, but which il
has been pleasure to every member
of the cabinet present to recall in view
of Mr.. Manning's condition. 1t wal
noticed at the time that he was MOI
looking well, and he referred to the
fact that he did not feel as well as usual
The story of the alleged quarrel is a
cruel lie and discreditable to its author.

The house in Butte City Montana,
where the late wholesale counterfeiting
of u. s. coins was carried on has been
discovered. Underneath the house
was a cellar where the work was done
and in the cellar has been found an
assayer's furnace for melting metal,
plaster of Paris molds for making coins
and an electro plating battery for COW
ering counterfeit gold coins with a film
of gold. The only entrance to the eel
lar was through the floor above by re
moving loose board over which the
cook-stove stood. The flue of the fur
mace beneath was connected with the
stove-pipe and they could always fire
up without suspicion. There were
dies for making every kind of coin
from nickel to 800 gold piece. The
silver coins were excellent counterfeits,
having the correct weight and right
jingle, being secured by a proportion
of melted glass.

Nanticoke's Great Tomb.
THE DRILL SHOWS THAT THE Fatal
CHAMBER is FULL OF WATER.

The last glimmer of hope of ever
reaching the bodies of the .wenty-six
entombed men and boys in the fatal
slope at Nanticoke is fast fading away.
Four weeks ago the work of driving a
tunnel across the basin which interven-
ed between the gangway and that part
of the mine where the bodies are buried
was started as last resort. This was
driven ninty-three feet, and then drill
hole was driven the balance of the dis
tance, II feet, the. drill reaching the
fatal chamber Monday morning. When
it was withdrawn steady and swift
stream of water came from the twos
inch hole.
The drill was Immediately started
again to drive another hole that would
strike near the roof of the fatal cham
ber. This is done in order to ascertain
if it is flied entirely with water. If
such is the case then the Susquehanna
Coal Company will, in all probability,
abandon the work, as with this condi-
tion of things in the chamber it would
be impracticable to proceed. And
thus will end the long story of the
terrible disaster that blackened the
joys of Christmastide, 1885, for the
miners of the Wyoming coal fields.

Son Of God calls it birth of water.
