Stunning Work.
SHENANDOAH, Pa, Feb. 13.-Work was
resumed at the Kelly Run colliery this
morning with about 200 of its force There
is a great deficit in the force of breaker boys
Coal and iron policemen are patrolling the
approaches to the colliery. There was no
disturbance when tn men quit i'll the even
ing that required the Intervention of the
police A few of the strikers met the work
men on their way home and expressed their
feelings in insulting epithets, but there was
little even of this and no acts of violence.
The working of the mine is sanctioned by
the joint committee of miners and they will
discontinue any effort to impede it.
The Reading Companys collieries in this
vicinity were not working to-day. The
whistle of the Shenandoah City colliery, "a
Reading mine, was blown this morning,
but only few outside men responded, and
no further effort was made to work An
attempt will be made to start up the West
Shenandoah colliery tomorrow.
At the North and South Laurel Ridge
colieries work was resumed to-day with a
full force. These are under individual OPP
orators and have made terms with the joint
committee.

Still Lower.
CHICAGO, Feb, 13.--The cuts made to-
day by the warning Western roads were
unimportant and not worth noting, but one
is pending and willtbe put in effect to-mor-
row morning which will be one of the most
serious that has yet been made. The Chica-
60, Burlington and Quincy road announ res
that in connection with the Bur
lington and Missouri, they will tomorrow
reduce grain rates from all stations in
Nebraska and on the Missouri river cents
per 100 pounds. This is done on account of
the low rates made between Kansas City
and st. Louis, which has the effect TO divert
Nebraska grain southwark to Kansas City
and away from the Burlington lines The
reduction will be a heavy blow to the Iowa
and Chicago trunk lines, as these roads have
about l2,0000O0 bushels of grain cribbed
and stored in Western Iowa, which will be
hurried to market at the reduced rate The
Rock Island road to-day made the same
rates to Rock Island Moline and other Mis-
sissippi river points as are made to st.
Paul The st. Louis and Kansas City line
also reduced rates between those two points

An honest, courageous man gone to his long
home. ANGUS MCALPIN. a hero in the truest
sense of that word-gentle, courteous, honor
able. humble Christian belever-what more
can be said of any man: The writer desires to
pay tribute to a deserving one. who for long
years has been help, yea. an inspiration to
him. bright example of one VINO fought the
battle Ct life well. Reared in luxury and afflu-
ence, called from the heights to the valley OF
poverty ana bitter strife, he at one tune almost
wrecked, came near taking the downward path.
His better self conquered and he came to the
front, showing the heroic character that was in
him. To conquer self takes more courage, true
moral courage, than the low physical courage
that leads men to the cannon's mouth or the
bayonets point. This courage ANGUS MCALPIS
had to high degree. There are few men who
can kindly, courteously, but persistently and
honestly perform their duty. He had the much
to be coveted ability to gently but faithfully
meet every emergency. lie well earned the
title the writer has so often heard expressed of
him-he was an honest man. He was good
man, model, q faithful man.
Peace to his ashes. R. B. R.
