NO STRAINED RELATIONS"
mir. Corbin and the Reconsideration Syn
dictate In Happy Accord.

| Mr. Corbin and the RECOMMENDATION SYM
dictate In Happy Accord.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 31.-The
| published statement that "strained rela-
tions" exist between the management
Of the Reading Railroad company and
the syndicate Of bankers who have been
interested in reconstruction, over the
question Of the handling of the miners
strike, Is denied In u~nmistakable terms
by an official of the company. President
Corbin was not in the city, but a leading
officer of the corporation, who was
shown the article in question, said:
III can speak for Mi. Corbin, and say
from my knowledge that there is no
truth whatever in the story. In The first
place, Mr.. Childs is not connected with
the Reading company, and has made no
suggestion to its executive officers, in re-
gard to their conduct Of the business.
Mr.. Drexel did not, at a social
gathering, discuss the question
of miners wages with Mr. Corbin, and it
is a s~eif-eyident fact that the syndicate
and Mr.. Corbin are In accord upon the
subject, or you would hear something
about the clashing of interests other than
the mild rumors OF a breach in their re-
~lations. Ii Mr.. Corbin's policy was not
satisfactory to the syndicate, the MEM
bers of that financial body would be
heard from. But it is quite certain that
the syndicate, and all others concerned,
are of the opinion that Mr.. Corbin is
thoroughly competent to conduct the
business that has been entrusted to him.
You can say that there are no strained
relations; that the railroad strike is a
thing OF the past, and that the miners
strike is rapidly assuming the same
shape"

CRUSHED BY MOVING ICE.
THE RESULT OF A MOVING MASS OF
ICE AT ST. LOUIS,

The Steamer VIII p. Hayes Grouni TO
Pieces in the Gorge-Fire In the West
Virginia Penitentiary-Kate Cla1ton's
Fire Record.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. sL-A heavy
mass of ice, ten to twenty feet thick,
which has accumulated upon the city
front during the past three weeks, ex-
tends six miles from the bridge. At IL
o'clock the gorge moved a distance of
400 yards. Many barges, boats and
steamers were torn loose from their
moorings, and more or less damaged.
The most important loss was that of the
st. Louis 81 New Orleans steamer, Will
p. Hayes, which was ground to pieces.
The Hayes was worth $50, 600. The loss
is now estimated at over $3.50, 900, and
when the final movement comes the loss
will probably be more than doubled.

ANOTHER MISSOURI TRAGEDY.
Young william Blakeley Fatally shot {

Young William Blakeley Fatally Shot at
o Church Door at Wallace.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Jan. 31.-William
Estes, aged eighteen years, shot and in
stantly killed William Blakely, aged
eighteen, in Wallace, eighteen miles
from this city, at 8 o'clock Monday night.
The murder took place at the front door
of the Christian church. Young Blakely
was keeping company with Estes sister,
a sixteen-year-old girl. to which the
brother and father objected. A few
weeks ago the old man logged the girl
because she refused to drop Blakely,
w%hereupon she left home, living since
with a friend in the same town. She and
Blakely were at church together. At
the close of the service, old man Estes
went to his daughter and had some words
with her. Blakely advised her to go home
with him. This she would not do, and
went u of church with her
lover. A few yards beyond
the door the two met young Estes, who
drew a revolver and began firing. The
first shot struck Blakely on the lower lip,
knocking out two of his 'front.' teeth, and
lodging in the back part of the head. He
then drew his revolver and returned the
fire. The father OF the girl, who had
been watching the ARRAY, at this iuncture
drew a revolver and began shooting at
Blakely. The latter turned from the son
to the cid man, and wounded him in the
shoulder. This left Blakeley at the mer-
cy of young Estes, who stepped up close
and sent q bullet through his heart.
Blakely belonged to n of the best fam
lilies of this county, and was above re-
proach in every way. No reason, except
personal grounds, could have been urged
against his keeping company with the
young lady.
Miss Estes has become insane.

TITLE TO THE CHEROKEE STRIP.

The Indian Legislature at Odds Over
the Ownership of Land.
TALEqUAH, /. T., Jan. 30.-There is a
strong feeling among many Cherokees to
sell what is known as the Cherokee strip,
q tract of land comprising six million
acres, and the matter will doubtless be
decided by the Cherokee legislature now
sitting. Propositions were made by
cattle syndicates for its purchase two
years ago, but the legislature did moth
ing. A sharp discussion has been aroused
among the Cherokees regarding the title
to the land. There are those who claim
that the strip vas coded by the Cherokees
in 1879 to the United States at AZ Ia
cents per acre; hat $3.50, 600 has been
paid on the land. ana that there is yet
due from the government more than
$500, 600, with 8 per cent. interest from
June, 1879. Others claim that the strip
is held by patents from the government,
and that the complete title is still in the
Cherokee nation. If the former view is
correct, then the lease of the strip should
not nave been made. The land is esti-
mated to be worth from So to $40 per
arra Hr -s..-1H reEga
