Relief for the People of Mt. Vernon A
 Humorous Incident.

Relief for the People of Mt. Vernon
 Humorous Incident.
 MOUNT VERNON, Ills, Feb 22.-The peoI ie of Mt Vernon yesterday joined the army or strangers and walked back and forth through the stricken district gazing at the wreck of their homes and fortunes, and debating whether the stroke would not prove the death blow of the town The ,500 homeless people are sheltered in the dismantled public bulld- ings, the homes that escaped the tornado, and the houses pronounced temporarily safe.
 The work of relief has been rapidly organ ized, and the stream of charity pouring m IS broad and deep. The committees sent to St. Louis. Chicago and Evansville have met with generous responses, and large sums of money and extensive supplies have been contributed by those cities. The sister towns have not been backward, and contributions from Gen. tralia, Nashville, Ashley, Carbondale and Murphysborough are coming in. A famine almost developed yesterday, but last night supplies came in, and all danger i'll that direc- tion is passed.
 One of the most remarkable incidents con- nected with the great calamity is of semi humorous character. This incident has all to do with a colored boy. He was found walking wound town on Monday. Nobody had ever seen him in town before. He is years old, and he says he came in with the cyclone He doesn't know where he lives, but says there was big river near his house. He was picked up somewhere near the big muddy river, twenty miles southwest, and carried in here and dropped uninjured.
 The loss by the tornado is estimated at $1, 100000. Thirty-nine deaths are now re ported

MT. George Henry Corliss SuccupAbs at
 Three Score and Ten.
 PROVIDENCE, Feb 22-Mr. George Henry Corliss, the great steam engine builder and mechanical inventor, died in this city yester day. He became famous throughout the country as the inventor of the mammoth steam engine of 14,OOO horse power which successfully moved all the machinery at the 'hiladelphia centennial exhibition in 1876.
 Mir. Corliss was member of the Rhode Island legislature in 1S6S-7O, and was Re publican presidential elector in 1876
 He received awards for his inventions at the exhibitions at Pnris in 1867 and at Vienna in 1878. He also received the Rumford medal from the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1870. In 1872 he was ap- pointed centennial commissioner from Rhode Island, and was one of the executive commit tee of seven to whom was intrusted the re- sponsibility of all tie preliminary work of the exposition.
 The Institute of France, in 1878, awarded him the Montyon prize for that year, the highest honor for mechanical achievement. In February, 1886, the king of Belgium con- ferred upon him the title of an "Officer of the Order of Leopold
 MT. Corliss was born in Easton, Washing ton county, N. Y., June 2, 1917.

MINERS VERY ANGRY.
Corbin's Violated Agreement May Lead
 to 8 Resumption of Hostilities.

Corbin's Violated Agreement May Lead
 to 8 Resumption of Hostilities.
 READING, Feb. 22.-There were many miners in the Schuylkiu region who failed to report for duty yesterday. Some eighteen assemblies refused to recognize the order of Master Workman Lewis to resume work, and it is not unlikely that the entire region will be ordered out again.
 The agreement between Messrs Corbin and Lewis, Mir. Lewis says, has been shamefully violated at many of the company's collieries by the discharge of over 500 engineers and other employees. The agreement, Mir Lewis contends, was that all strikers should be put in their old positions, and there was to be no discrimination. Mr. Corbin agreed to this proposition.
 Mir. Lewis said yesterday that had Corbin not been explicit in his agreement the miners would not have returned to work on Monday.
 'We will not stand that kind of treachery, ? he said. "If the coal and iron officials do not reinstate the men internationally every man will be called out again. The joint committee will hold meeting in Pottsville, when definite action will be taken"
 The discharge of so many men has created great excitement, and serious trouble is looked for.
 Chairman Duffy said last night: ''This is no time for play. The men are in bad humor. They believe MT. Corbin has deceived them, and that he must not attempt to trife with | them in that way.n

THE RIVAL DELEGATIONS
1t Looks as Though Chicago win Have
 Two National Conventions

1t Looks as Though Chicago win Havs
 Two National Conventions
 WASHINGTON, Feb. alt looks as if the location of the convention lies between Chi ago aud St. Louis, with the chances slightly favoring the former. The Chicago contin- gent rely mainly upon the prestige of past success in entertaining the two conventions of 1884; upon their admirable hotel facilities, and their central geographical location. They have demonstrated their ability to accommo- date without difficulty any number of stran- gers who may be present upon an occasion of this nature, and this, unfortunately, is what neither St Louis nor Cincinnati has ever sue ceeded in doing.
 The Chicago reops say they will lead of with twelve or fourteen votes on the first bal lot This number they expect to steadily in- crease until one or more of their competitors drop out of the race. when they will come to the front with a rush and carry off the vic tory. They are not doing much talking, but there is an air of serene confidence about their headquarters which is more suggestive, possi ply, than anything they might say. If Chi cago wins, however, it will not be without 6 struggle. The hereditary jealousy between St. Louis and Chicago was never more clearly defined than in the present contest.

Gone Home to Her Mother.

AUBURN, N. Y., Feb. 22.-The biggest shock that has been given Auburn society in years was occasioned by the announcement that Mrs. D. ErasIus Corning, of No. 23O West Genesee street, had eloped with D. Morris Kurtz, the Auburn correspondent of the Syracuse Herald. MT. Corning traced his wife to Elmira, and induced her to return home to Auburn with him. Mrs. Corning, accompanied by her husband, her brother and her brother-in-law, returned to this city last evening. She parted with her husband at the train and went home to her mother, where she will undoubtedly remain.

Striking Girl spinners.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Feb. 22-The ring spinners employed at the American linen mills are dissatisfied with their per cent. ad- vance in wages, and struck work yesterday afternoon for further increase. The strikers are all girls. At meeting of the Knights of Labor last night reply was received from the manufacturers to the request of the Knights for conference on the wage ques- tion. The manufacturers say that as the spinners signed an agreement to abide by the present schedule until July 1, nothing could be done at present in the premises. This re ply was not acceptable to the Knights outside of the spinners. The result of the meeting is not known, but it is expected strike will re

GERMANY'S DYING PRINCE
THE EFFECT OF HIS CONDITION
 ON THE MONEY MARKETS.

The Uncertainty Regarding Him Puts
 of Wales Visit is Regarded-The Masses
 Believe He is Nearing the End.
 LONDON, Feb 22-The important topic of the hour is the condition of Prince Frederick William, both here and on the continent, and the bulletins from San Reno, such as they are, are eagerly watched
 The dealings on the bourses all over the continent and at the exchange here are de cidedly fiat and uninteresting, and it can safely be predicted that speculation and all financial business will partake of a careful and quiet character until the crisis that is expected in the crown princes case is past. The uncertainty regarding him at present puts check upon all business that would likely be affected by his death. Yesterdays more hopeful dispatches afford very slight satisfaction, and do not in any wise serve to tained in regard to the princes dread disease.
 The presence of the Prince of Wales at San Reno is interpreted in two ways, both favor ably and unfavorably. To some it is hope full sign that the crown prince can receive and dine with his illustrious visitor, while to others it means that the English prince has gone to take a last farewell of his German brother-in-law. Count Hutzfeldt, the Ger man minister, did not receive any message from San Remo yesterday. A portion of the Berlin press continues to attack Dr. Morell Mackenzie, insists that the council of attend ing physicians is at sixes and sevens, and in inmates that not enough harmony exists among them to make the princes case mat ter of hopeful solicitation to the German na- tion.
 Among the masses it is generally believed that no power on earth can save the life of their beloved "Unzer Fritz, /" and that he is slowly but surely reaching the end. This feeling is enhanced by the appointment of a reporting counselor to Prince William-a dis tinction only accorded to a crown prince. And the fact that Frederick William is re- peatedly urged to resign his claim to the throne in favor of his eldest son points to the belief that the worst is being prepared for, and evidently expected.
 BERLIN, Feb 22.-Prince Bismarck has sub mitted to Emperor William regency bill, but the text of which is as yet unknown. The bill will undoubtedly be modified if the emperor visits the crown prince at San Reno. It is reported from San Reno that the physicians are now unanimous in their opinion concern. ing the further treatment of the royal patient

Gone with a Younger Man.

PATERSON, N. J., Feb. 22.-The police are endeavoring to obtain clews to the where abouts of Adolph Gisler and Mrs. Adolph Rueschl The former is hardly 20 years of age; the latter is over 40, and the mother of seven children, and still it is supposed that the two have gone off together somewhere. Gisler came to this country from Switzerland in December last, and boarded with Adolph Rueschli, who was a distant relation. Mrs. Rueschli left note saying her body might be found in the bottom of the river, but her husband says she can be found with young Gisler, wherever he may be.
