PROPOSED RAILWAY LEGISLATION.
WASHINGTON, Msy &c The select
committee OF the House which iuYesti-
gated into the strike on the Reading
Rsi road expects to secure next week
complete printed copies Of the testimony
taken oy IL and will immediately begin the
preparation of it's report. It is
learned teat this document will not be
cophned entirely to q genera! review of
the points developed in the course Of the
Inquiry, but, to use the language Of one
OF the committeeman, will recommend
some legislation that Is likely to be IN
palatable to both the railroads and their
employees. Briefly outlined the PROPOSE
lions under consideration are:
1. An absolute provision for placing In
the hands OF receiver any railroad COM
pany which IS result of q difference
with its employees isils for period Of ten
days to operate It's road.
2. A requirement that sll train crews,
but no other class Of employees shall give
ten days notice OF an intention to quit
work.
3. That the railroad companies must
give ten days notice to their employees Of
reduction Of wages.
The committee expects that the propo-
sitions relating to employees will excite
much opposition, but taxes the ground
that IL is the only possible method Of
afordiDg the public the protection to
which 1t is entitled against the interrupt
ton OF regular Ire ffic.

painting on the roof were blown fifty feet
in the air, but escaped serious injury. Il
is supposed that as many as thirty were
more or less injured. Tee building it
self Is q total wreck, and nothing but
the iror ipillsrs remain standing. Bricks
were blown fifty to leo feet on all sides
Some sheds and outbulldings of the Mon
treal Street Railway, which are IL close
proximity to the retort, were somewhat
damaged, but with this exception the
buildings in the immediate vicinity have
rot suffered excepting through the break
ing Of windows. A large gang Of men is
hard at work excsvating for the body of
man who 1t was supposed WAS in the Inv
terror Of the building when the explc sion
took place. 1t is said that the explosion
was caused by leaking gas becoming
ignited by lantern which one of the men
foolishly carried into the building.
LATKR-The report that seven bodies
had been taken from the ruins is incor-
rect. -Four persons in all lost their lives.
Their names were: Joseph Angel, John
Angel, Sam McFee and Samuel Bell. Il
is now officially stated six persons were
injured, three of whom will die. The
officials state 1t is impossible to give the
loss at present.

Mineral Production.

WASHINGTON, July 26-Mr. David
Y. Day, Chief of the Division of Min
ing Statistics, has submitted a sum-
mary of the mineral products of the
United States in 1887 in advance of
the official reports. The total value
is $55S, 05G,345. 1t shows a wonder
full gain over 1886 and is $l00,0O0,0O0
greater than the out put OF 1885. The
United States lead the World in the
production of mineral. The princi-
pal gains in 1887 were in the pro-
duction of metallic ores and the fuel
necessary for melting them. The
production of pig iron alone increases
more than $26,000,000. The high
price of copper caused notable expan-
sion in that industry. The product
of coal is the largest ever recorded.
Take as whole the report shows
great prosperity for the mining in
dustry. The grand total value of
more than half billion dollars, the
report says, resulted not only from
AN increase in the quality of mineral
mined, but also from general advance
in the prices of metals. 1t may be
several years before this total is ex-
ceeded and the year of 1888 will fall
considerably below it. Among
many reasons for the decrease this
year is the decline itfrailroad build
ing.

MRS. CALEB WoRLEY,
The First White Woman Born In Cine
natl still IIvinS

The First White Woman Born In Cinoin-
natl, Still Living.
Mrs. Caleb Morley was born in Fort
Washington, located at the corner of
Third and Ludlow streets, Cincinnati, Of
which n true reproduction may be seen
in the Pioneer Department of the Gem
tennial Exhibition, on May II, 1895. Her
father, George Adams, was cousin of
Daniel Boone. He was New Enghnder,
and a soldier in the war of the Revolu-
ton, and was mustered out at its close,
either in Virginia or North Carolina, the
records being uncertain on this point.
When Daniel Boone made his second visit
to Kentucky Mr.. Adams accompanied
him and chose it for his home, remaining
there until number Of settlements were
started. He was married about this
time. Being commissioned a Major in
the army, he was detailed for Fort Wash
ington, and, with his wife and two boys,
came to what is now Cincinnati During
his stay here Mrs. Worley was born.
Subquently Major Adams left the SER
vice, and entered tract of land six miles
below Dayton, near the Present site Of
the town Of Carlton.
Upon the breaking out of the war oi
1912 he again resumed service as a sol
der, and was badly wounded during the
dofeN. Of Gen. Harmar, receiving seven
bullets through the body. At the close
of the war he moved to what is now
known as Darke County. While ther,
his daughter married Caleb Morley, il
the year 1916 Mr.. Morley and his wifi,
remained there for time, but in 1928
they removed to Covington, in MAN
County, at which place she still resides
Although over ninety years of age, Mrs
Worley enjoys tolerably good health
although troubled with nervousness
which has prevented her attendance a
the Pioneer meetings in Cincinnati. No
only is Mrs Worley the first female chilt
born in this city, but she is said to be tn
oldest living native of the State, and tn
oldest member of the Christian Church
at whose services she is as regular an at
tendant as is possible for one of her al
vanced age.
