ADJUSTING MINERS DIFFERENCES.

ADJUSTING MINERS DIFFERENCES.
DUoUoIN, Ill.,, April 20.-A special com
mittee, consisting of Mr.. George Harris,
of Pennsylvania, organizer Of assembly
No. 135, X. of L., Mr.. James Taylor, state
mine inspector of Illinois, and Mayor
James Solomon have been in session in the
parlors of the st. Nicholas hotel here for
the past three days and nights investigat-
ing the causes of the miners strike which
was inaugurated here and in st. Johns
February l, 1888, and has been in full force
ever since. The principal cause of diff
Guilty seems to be a contract said to exist
between the st. Johns operators and the
men employed there, the operators claim
ing contract, the men disclaiming any.
During last October a committee OF four
men were sent by 4he St. Johns miners to
ask for certain prices during certain
months and under certain conditions,
the said committee being strictly
charged not to sign any con-
tracts or agreements. The committee
were prevailed upon by the superintendent
to place their request, or requests, in writ
ing and attach their signatures thereto, so
the same could be properly placed before
Capt. w. p Halliday, owner of the st.
Johns Works, for action. The committee
did so, however with the understanding
that the deco was no contract, or agree
ment, but simply request from the COM
mittee, and so understood at that time and
so understood now. The special commit
tee of investigation, just closed, declares
the request, which was accepted by the
operator, Halliday. to be a contract, but
not necessarily binding, as the committee
We're not endowed by the miners to con-
tract or agree with the operators in re-
gard to price or prices, but to simply con-
fer with the operators in the request. And
there the matter rests as far as the con-
tract is copcerned. A mass meeting is
called for tonight in the X. of l.. hall at
which time all miners on this prairie are
expected to attend.

CONSIDERABLY IMPROVED.
The Emperor Relieved and His Condition
Far More Hopeful.

BERLIN, April 20, 7:45p. m.-The discharge
of pus from the throat, which has con-
tinued at intervals since yesterday, has
greatly relieved the emperor. The respira-
ton is falling and the fever is decreasing.
The temperature is not yet normal. The
empress expressed herself today as more
hopeful, though the doctors deprecate a
sanguine view of the emperor's condi-
ton.
If the fever disappears, the doctors will
row. Since the insertion of the aluminium
tube, the emperor has experienced greater
ease. 1t is semi-officially denied that
opiates have been used to induce sleep and
that oedema of the feet has supervened.
The emperor was able today to receive

Execution Of Haximilian.
LAmsrtcan faaaztne.I

At sunrise on the morning Of June 10, 1867,
the Emperor and his Generals, Miramon and
Mcjia, were led out to the CeTro de las Companas
for execution. Macmillan yielded the central
plate, that of honor, to Miramon as a testimo-
NAL to his bravery, and took his place at the
left Of the line marked out. He gave gold
coins to the soldiers detailed to fire the fatal
vOley, and begged them to aim directly at his
heart and avoid mutilating his face. He had
directed that his body be sent to Europe, and
he wished his mother to see his face without
any marks Of the fearful death he was to die.
He took pains to wrap handkerchief around
his long blonde beard to prevent its being
burned. Then addressing the soldiers Of the
Republican army and the immense crowd
standing in sOrToWfGl silence upon the hillside,
he said: Mexicans, I die for Just cause.-The
independence of Mexico. God grant that my
blood may bring happiness to my new country.
Yea MericOE MiramOn echoed his ViCa MeE-
ic0 and the loud report of muskets rang out
over the hills and valleys Of QueretarO The
three men fell heavily. Macmillan was not
instantly killed, and sprang to his feet at once,
uttering the most agonizing cries. soldier
advanced and gave what is called the q0lDe De
grdcia the blow of mercy)-a weil-aimed shot
which pierced the heart Of the Emperor and
stretched his lifele5s body beside those of his
mpanions-in- arms.

How to Fight a Mob.
TAmericun Magqzins.I

1t was now almost noon. The members of
the National Guard had responded with prompt
ness TO the summons, aud every armOry was a
scene of excitement and activity. The
Seventies was half filed with gray uniforms,
and with friends and citizens. Every moment
fresh arrivals were coming; ammunition boxes
were open cartridge cases were being filed
with nervous haste; officers were excitedly dis
cussing the ominOus news as it came in from
time to time over the telephone, or cautioning
their men how TO bear themselves when they
stood face to face with the mob, and under fire.
4" Do not shout or talk when the work begins;
leave that to your officers; only listen for
orders; obey them promptly; keep well closed
up; leave the wounded, if any there are, to
the ambulance corps; see nothing but the mob /;
hear nothing but your own officers and, no
matter what comes, never never turn your
backs upon a mob; remember that noise does
not hurt; keep cool and, when you fire, aim
low; one disciplined regiment can break the
heaviest mob that ever yelled" Such were the
sentiments inculcated by the officers. All, yes;
but a mob with dynamite is a totally different
affair from mob with pistols, clubs and paving
stOuesl

Married in Spite of Themselves.
IChieaa0 Ir4uRe.

Some years ago, when free-lOYe notions were
running around loose in New England a BOs-
ton man and woman who had imbibcd of those
doctrines until they affected TO despise all the
common conyentionalites of life came to the
conclusion that they would live together with
out going through the ceremony of marriage.
They had both moved in good society and made
no secret of their intention. In fact they
announced it to every one they met. Staid old
Boston's aristOcracy was shaken to the depths.
8 The man was prevailed upon to give q
dinner party. to which were invited prominent
society people, including the Governor of the
State. When dessert was put upon the table
the talk became general, and soon turned upon
the peryerse couple. The man and woman
answered every question put to them with the
most perfect equanimity. Finally the Gov.
ernor took hand in the conversation. After
asking q few questions, and commenting on the
answers thereto, in a calm, judicial manner, he
turned to the man and asked: Do you, Mr..
-, intend to love aud cherish this woman as
your wife, for good or evil for better rWOrse? y
d Yes, sill" answered the man calmly.
And do you, madame, intend to obey this
man as your husband, for better or worse, for
good or eyil2"
g do, sir" answered the woman politely.
"Then by the power vested in me as Gov
ernor of this Commonwealth l declare you to be
man and wife,"
And thus the plans of the couple were frus-
trated for which they afterward declared they
were heartily thankful. They are now old and
respected residents of Chicago.
