GOULD AND HIS TRUST.

He Fails to Convert the Rock Island Mag
nate to His Views.
NEW YORK. Nov. 30.-Mr. jay Gould
spent the greater part of his Thanksgiving
day in missionary work. He devoted two
hours trying to convert President R r.
Cable, of the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific road. to a belief in the big railway
trust by which it is proposed to remedy
all the evils and decentralization that
abound now in the shape of rate cutting
wars. Mr.. Gable stated plainly the
weakness he saw in Gould's propo-
sitions and pointed out objections
that he believed would be raised by
anti-monopolists as rallying cries for fur
Their legislation adverse to the railroads.
He told Mr.. Gould frankly that he was far
from convinced that a trust such as is
proposed, could be operated for any long
time, or even while operated be equal to
the tasks prescribed for it. When the two
magnates parted, however, Mr.. Gould was
reassured by receiving President Cables
promise to give the subject further consid-
Grafton with view to it's acceptance and
Endorsement if possible.

THE UNCERTAIN HOUSE.

The Republicans Appear. to Have q Bare
Majority at Present.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2L@Senators and
members are arriving daily and by the
end of the week full attendance is ex
pected of members Of both branches, som.
Of whom have been absent from the CITY
since August, when the House was finally
reduced to less than a quorum and the
Senate was left in hardly a better condi-
ton. Congressman Benton McMillin, of
tennessee, arrived last night and reoccu-
pied his old quarters at the Riggs. He
was besieged by a host of newspaper men
but declined to be interviewed at this
juncture.
No change has occurred to determine the
certainty or uncertainty of the political
preponderancy Of the Fifty-first House,
and both Democrats and Republicans claim
a majority which nothing but the official
canvasses and certificates of the Gov.
ernors Of the various States can settle.
The opinion seems to obtain, how ever
that on the face Of the returns the Repub-
icans have a bare majority. but this NAV
be changed in favor of the Democrats bv

DEFENDING THE G. A. r.
Commander-in-Chief Warner Speaks on tn
Reported OBJECTIONS.

Chief warner SPEAKS on tho
Reported OBJECTIONS.
+ CHICAGO, Nov. 80. At the banquet
given him by Chicago posts Major Warner.
Army of the Republic, spoke briefly, and
referred to the reported OBJECTIONS in
Indiana and that of General Palmer in
Illinois. '.And I say it here" CO..
tinued the Commander-in-Ch Chief with
emphasis, mo matter how high any
man is who says to the contrary, that this
organization is not circumscribed by Sec
tarianism or partisan feeling Let me say
here that the platform of the Grand Army
is broad enough for every good citizen
to stand upon. We recognize that We
fought for decentralization of thought
Of speech, and of the press-and We
will stand elbow to elbow in defense of
our comrades in the exercise of their
functions whether we agree on ques-
lions involving these principles or not.
But though you wear this badge, and
many of you have purchased freedom at q
dear price, you should not live in the past.
You must discharge your whole duty in
the present as citizens. Your badge rep.
resents the unity of principles on which
your organization was founded-frater-
nifty, charity and loyalty. As long, COM
rades, as this country shall remain faith
full to the principles for which we fought,
SO long shall the right Of every American
citizen be respected before the law. And
the comrade who can not stand upon this
platform is entitled to our profound SYM
pathy, for he has read wrong the lessons
of the Grand Army of the Republic"
Ex-Commander-in-C Chief Fairchild said
that the ones who had joined the organ
ization through selfish motives had all left
it. thank God. They found it didn't help
their social standing, nor their business,
nor secure their political advancement.
They discovered long ago that the Grand
Army man who attempted to use the or
ganization for selfish purposes was NO
longer a Grand Army man.

EIGHT MEN PERISH.

Another Disastrous Fire as the Calunneo
and HeclA Nine.
CALulEr, Mich, Dec. Fire was dis.
covered at tho eighth level Of No 3 SHAFT
OF tho Calumet branch OF the Calumet and
Hecia mine yesterday morning. A large
party OF mon were working at the time Of
the fre which. when discovered. had
made such Roadway that the smoke was
terribly dense, and their lives were in
great danger. All made . rush for the
surface, but eight men are missing. That
they are dead il certain.
The mine location was completely GOV.
cred with the dense smoke. and the fre
looks worse than did the last, but being
nearer the surface il 10 believed the dam
age financially will not be so great
The company made the most desperate
efforts to control the fire and to try to res
cue the miners. but this time it looks as IL
the case were hopeless. The men were all
married but two.
The fire will not affect the product Of the
mine materially and it will be kept up to
the limit imposed by the French syn
dictate.
Chris Rule. one of the miners who were
at work in the fourteenth level Of No.
shaft, says that about eleven O'Clock last
nighthe saw and and smelled smoke and at
once called the attention Of others to it.
Charles Sarson and Henry Burkineynki,
who were thoroughly familiar with the
Calumet branch of the mine. at once start
ed up the ladder as far as the tenth level
and then went south to the main shaft
and rode up to what is called the grand
| sixth level They then crossed to No
shaft where they saw the shaft all ablaze.
The bed plank and mill timbers, top.
bottom and sides, looked as il they
had been burning some time. Burkin-
eyniki at once went to the
| valve of the water pipe, opened it,
Strengthened out the hose and was ready
to fight the fire at the risk of his life, but
there was no water there. He says, how
ever. that had there been water it would
have helped matters none. Seeing this.
Sarson, who had a narrow escape at the
former fire, led the way back to the main
| engine shaft and warned the men to turn
back. He piloted the way for them to No.
5 shaft and then came to the surface.
l. Nothing is known of the whereabouts OF
the eight men who are missing. Over 100
men were in that portion of the mine al
| the time, but escaped. The missing men
are Joseph Masaler, Antonio Kessler. Joe
| Vanderbilt, Andrew Hansen and two
| others, names not known.

And We Are Just Longing for Some
Club to Tackle Us.

On Tuesday afternoon last one of
the most exciting ball games that
was ever witnessed in this city,
was played between two home
clubs, picked from among some of
our old players that figured con-
spicuously in the time when Logan
stood with her feet on the topmost
round of the ladder, assisted by
some of our young talent that are
fast developing into professionals.
They were designated as Greens
and Grange Store Clubs and con-
sisted of the following persons:
Fred Rochester, Chas Parker,
Geo. Burberry, Will Frasch, A.
Palmer, O. w. ii. Wright, Carl
Buerhaus, Frank Krieg, with John

Greens. Will Lytle, Gus Steinman,
Chas Keynes, Dode Lytle, Will
Bowen, Jack Mcbride, Chs Work,
Frank Blasius, under the manage
ment of Geo. Work composed the
Grange Store club. The game was
umpired by Will Kittsmiller.
After allowing time for Carl III.
Buerhause to don his short pants
and smoking cap and giving Oliver
Wright an opportunity to hunt a
man to change off every other in
ming, the game was called, the
Greens taking the bat.
The first four inninnings were
played scoring 6 for Greens and
leaving the contesting club to get
some. The next five innings Tailed
4 for Greens and 8 for Grange Store
leaving the score stand 8 to 10 in
favor of the Greens.
The game continued until after
5 o'clock, and closed with three
men on bases.
We are just longing to tackle
Cincinnati, st. Louis, or some OF
those little organizations and carry
