DEATHS.

HODGES-EvERETT HODGES was born
March 9th, 1877, and died January 9th,
1883, at his home In Arcadia.
He was member of Fort Hill Sunday
School, and was much loved and respected
by all Of his classmates. He said TO his
mother that he loved her better than any
one, but that he loved God more. The fol-
lowing are a few lines he addressed to his
mother: s'D-ar mother, these lines address
to you that you may see and think OF me
when 1 am gone" His body was laid to
rest until Christ shall come with angel and
trumpet sound to gather up his precious
jewels.
His life was a sunny day.
Like the spring and flowers,
So soon it's flown away
twas only few short hours.
But beyond the fight of time,
Beyond the reign of death,
There is q blessed cline
Where life is not breath.

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.
Tho Local Committee Arranges for AInSs
Meetings April 2S,

1leeuuEb ApEh Sos
The Democratic County Executive
Committee held q meeting last night in
the rooms of the Young Mems Demo
cratic Club,In the Franklin building on
Twelfth street. Chairman j. S, Naylor
presided and Tom Thoner, the able sec
retary, was on hand wearing his usual
beaming smile. The report that the
committee was to meet had gotten abroad
and candidates for that Int plum, the
Sheritf7s office, were on hand in force.
They were suspicious that something
might be done in favor Of somebody or
other and wanted to know how it was
to be done. But their cases were not
touched on.
The committee met for the purpose Of
arranging for Ohio county's representa-
ton in the First Congressional District
Convention to be held here Tuesday,
May s, for the epurpose on selecting three
delegates, two for the district and one at
large, and an equal number ofaiternates,
to form part OF the States representa-.
ton in the National Democratic Con.
Yention to be held at st. Louis in June.
1t was decided TO call mass
meetings of the Democracy in
each magisterial district of the
county, ten in number, for Saturday,
April 2s. At each of these mass meet.
ings ten delegates are to be selected,
making in all 100 delegates Ohio county
will have in the Congressional conven-
ton. If all the counties do as well as
this very large and probably very
lively convention may be anticipated.

THE COKE SITUATION.
An Effort to be Made to Recon,
ciIe Various interests.
IMPORTANT MEETING TO-DAY
OF tho Connollsville Men ut Pitts
burgh--.shan tho Price of Coke
Go Up or Down, is the Qucs-
tion They Are to Decide.

PITTSBURGH, March 2G-The coke op'
orators will hold meeting tomorrow
that promises to be the most important
for months.
An effort is to be made to harmonic
all OF the conflicting interests and put
up the selling, price of coke. II this
fails another break in the market is
feared.
There was considerable speculation
among the coke men to-day as the result
of the meeting. The day for holding it
had even caused q discussion. One firm
went so far as to have call sent out to
hold it to-day. AS tomorrow had been
originally decided upon there was con-
siderable objection to this proposition
and the meeting did not take place to-
day.
1t was learned this morning that there
is movement on foot to put the price
Of coke back to 81 so. This proposition,
it is said, will meet the support OF the
Producers Association. II is claimed
that if they unite with the Coke Ex-
change that there is no reason why the
price could not be kept Mt 81 50. 1t is
argued that the market warrants this
price and that it has been proved by out
side fields with inferior qualities Of coke
cannot compete with the Connellsville
people, and that all the latter need to do
is TO make some agreement by which
they themselves will sustain the price
agreed upon. Some OF the operators
think thatSl5 50coke will be decided upon,
while others less sanguine are afraid
that all will not beserene. and that be-
fore the end comes coke will be cut down
to 90 cents. The reports from the Ma
honing and Shenango valleys not being
so encouraging this morning, and the
danger OF shut down Of the blast fur
naces may have some effect on the mar
ket. One operator, in summing up the
said this morning that he was
at sea, and could make no
prediction rs to the result ofto-morrow's
but was hoping that 81 30 coke
would be agreed upon.
This morning it was reported that all
OF the coke produced and every pound
that had been stocked was cleared up
and shipped. The trade presents the
peculiar position to-day that some firms
are complaining Of losing orders while
others are making large shipments.

New YonK, March 26.-An Augusta,

arrest OF the murderes OF the cashier

full confession yesterday, in which he

well in the Messenger murder, commit.
ted at Norfolk, Mass. 1t was planned by
Rufus Goldsmith, Cromwell and his
father, ut the latter's house, in the fall OF
1874. 1t was learned that Messenger
had large sum OF money in his nos

cattle. In his confession young Stain

said, Messenger is all alone and no one
is around. We have examined the prem.
isGs and they are clear for u.s. They
started for Messengers home about
nine o'clock in the evening, father
carrying valise containing masks, dis
guises, revolvers ard n full kit OF bur.
glars tools. About IL o'clock they
came back to where l had been station.
ed and we all drove off to Middlefield in
wagon. Arriving home about 1880
n. M, overheard conversation be.
tween father, Cromwell and Goldsmith,
in which father said Messenger had the
best grit OF any man he ever saw. He
would not tell where his money was.
They gagged him and tortured him, but
he would not reveal the hiding place Of
the moley. Finally they left him tied
to bed post and gagged, where he was
found dead the next morning. They
found $l,SO0 in n bureau drawer after
hunting over an hour and took it away
with them. Father and Cromwell said
they did not care il the old cuss died"
Goldsmith, so Stain says, is at large
and is known to the authorities as q
general crook and counterfeiter. Gold
smith claims to have been in Proyi-
dence on the day of the murder.

Totally Destroys VlIInGe-Namcs of the
Killed and Injured.
KANSAS Cry, March 2G.-Word has
just been received OF the almost utter
destruction OF the town OF Ninnescah,
Kingman county, Kansas, Saturday ev-
ening at 1880 by tornado. 1t had been
raining, and as evening approached the
storm was seen approaching from the
southwest. 1t struck the town and
destroyed everything in its path, leaving
only three houses standing1n the whole
place. Two churches, five stores and
fifteen dwellings were torn to pieces, and
the flying timbers killed three persons
and manned seventeen others. The VIC
Tins are:
Mrs. ]. G. Williams, with her infant,
killed; George S. Hardcsty, killed ;
James Williams, both legs broken and
several bruises, will probably die;
Charles Gordon, injured in the back,
supposed fatally.
The others injured have only minor
hurts. The heavy fall OF rain, which
has continued since the tornado, has
added to the discomfort of the sufferers.

CHICAGO, March 26.-Delegates from
the local switchmen's and brakemen's
unions on.all OF the divisions of the Bur
lington are arriving in the city. Tonight
all the grievence committees are repre-
sented.
Tomorrow there will be a meeting
participated in by the grievance commit.
tees OF engineers, fremen, switchmen
and brakemen OF the 20" system. This
meeting will decide upon a general plan
Of action.
One of the delegates from Denver said
to reporter that the brakemen would
certainly be drawn into the strike. The
western brakemen have several griev.
ances to bring before the meeting, the
principal one being that they are in con.
slant danger from accident through in.
competent engineers. The delegate re.
ferred to said that under no circum.
stances would the brakenen consent Ia
do switching for the company in place
OF the strikers.
A dispatch from Galesburg, ILL.,, says:
The yardmaster OF the Burlington here,
William 0'Shea, frankly admits that
there is some justice in the chief com.
plants of the striking switchmen that
switch engines here are manned in
some instances by incompetent men, and
that the switchmen are therefore in
greater danger than before. He says
however, that it is the intention OF the
officials, as soon as circumstances per.
init, to put on their engines thoroughly
competent men. The switchmen have
been assured OF this.
The last hour OF grace for the old 20"
switchmen to return to work expired
this afternoon, and the formal announce.
ment was made that all the strikers were
discharged. None OF the old men ap.
peared at the yards, and the yard.master
at once hired five men to do the local

in their ultimate victory. There wert

was too busy to be seen. The engineers
stoutly deny that there had been any

and the engineers.
Contrary to the announcement made
Saturday on behalf Of the Burlington nc
