PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2.-John Joseph Gull

bigamy. This young man made swift
work Of his opportunity and married
two wives within seven days. On JAN

years, in Camden, and on January 90
he welded Mary Boyle, aged eighteen
years, having deserted his first wife after
six days. The Boyles discovered the first

the first marriage was null and void. He
was handed over to the police, and both
wives have determined to prosecute their

THE PRESIDENT PAID IT.
A Child's Story Book Talc From hos.


BcsToN, Feb. 1.-President Cleveland's
kindness of heart for the young is seen in
the story that is told here today. There Is
little girl in Brooklyn who had the mis-
fortune to get into debt to the Youths Com
panion. She had lenient creditor, now
ever, and, though she had not paid her sub
scription for about two years, the Compaa-
ion was sent to her regularly and no COM
plants made. In the ordinary course Of
Office business list of arrearages was
placed in the hands of the papers attor-
ney. A very formal circular was sent to
the little girl, and it frightened her quite
out of her wits. People with much older
heads have been known to do very desper-
ate things under similar circumstances,
but this child sent an appeal to the Presi-
dent of the United States. 1t was straight
forward, childish letter. The sincerity
went straight to the Presidents heart.
She said she had heard he was kind to
little girls, but if she had made a mistake
in writing to him she hoped he would not
he cross. "She may be the wife of q fu-
ture President" said Mr.. Cleveland,
smiling at the little girls letter. Inclosing
a IS note in letter, he sent it to the pub
fishers in Boston, with the request that the
remainder (for the bill was less than that)
be put down to the little girls credit for
future subscriptions. He also wrote the
child very pretty little note, telling her
that it was pleasure to him to relieve her

THE POPE's ADVICE.
Go Home and Make Your Peace
With England.
Words which Surprised and Dismaved a
Party of Irish Pilgrims.

RoME, Feb. 1.-This morning the Pope
received an Irish pilgrimage numbering
three hundred at the Vatican Loggie. The
Pope spoke In Latin and said he always
watched with greatest care the prosperity
and peace of Ireland, as proved by his
encyclical address to the Irish Bishops
and by sending Porsico to them. He
ended by saying that with modera-
tion and due respect to the law,
peace was obtained with Germany, and
why should not the same means be suc-
cessful with Irclandi Each pilgrim in-
dividually received a kind word and COM
memorative medal and benediction. The
intimation conveyed by the Pope in his
speech to the Irish pilgrims has caused O
great deal of suppressed excitement and
excited exhaustive discussion In church
circles in Rome, and will doubtless excite
an intense feeling of surprise and dismay
among the Irish priesthood and people
when tho speech is printed tomorrow.
1t is known that Cardinal Manning, Arch
bishop Walsh and many other Englishand
Irish preiates, deprecate any interference
on the part Of the Vatican in Irish political
matters, and will exert themselves to the
exhaustion Of every possibility to prevent
LILO A1oiiho5o buc lTioL ClCTBy
to cease agitation Of the Home Rule cause
on the strength Of Mgr. Persico's report.
A very large majority Of the Catholic
clergy in Ireland are natives of the coun-
try, though they are not unanimous ih
support Of home rule. Almost without
exception the Irish priests who are or.
posed to home rule have been boycotted
by their parishioners, and this fact auguIs
i'll for the success of any effort on tho
part of the Vatican to compel the priest
hood to sink their patriotism in devotion
to the church and blind obedience to
the commands of its head. II the
Pope attempts to withdraw tho clergy
from the home rule fight the people
will be almost certain to exert q counter
pressure upon them that they will not be
able to Withstand, though such pressure
would hardly be necessary in most cases,
since disregard of the Vatican's behest
would be the rule among the clergy, rath.
er than the exception. This is the situa.
tion which, it is believed, Cardinal Man.
ming and his colleagues have presented te
His Holiness, and it remains to be seen
whether or not the wise counsel of the
Irish hierarchy will prevail over the evil
dent desire of the Vatican to curry favor
with the English Government at the ex.
pense of the suffering clergy and laity OF
Ireland.

BLOOD DRAWN.
A Clash Between Striking Miners
and Non-Unionists
Causes Omcers to Use Their Guns with
Serious Effect.

READING, PA, Feb. 3.--The first blood.
shed Of the miners strike took place to-
night. The coal regions are In terrible ex-
element and in all probability more seri-
GUS trouble will follow. Tho men are en-
Uttered and driven to desperation, and
the State authorities will probably yet be
called upon to quell the difficulty. Shonan-
doah City was the scene OF terrible riot
this evening" which resulted In tho shoot
ing OF seven men. While tho employees Of
Shenandoah City Colliery, which is owned
by the Rcadingt ompany, were on their way
home this evening, they were met by lot

were wounded, but none wero killed. One
of the Hungarians, however, is thought to
be fatally injured. The police captured

men broke all the window -panes of his
Office. The prisoners, however, were Sc
cured and lock up. Later on tho mob
made rush for the office of Squire

front of the building. The excitement is
intense. Lieutenant Meyer, Of the Coal
and Iron Police, is severely criticised for
opening fire on the men, he having, it is
alleged, fired five shots from his revolver.
All was reported quiet at nine o'clock but
the trouble is likely to be renewed to-mor-

WAsH1NeToN, Feb. 5.--Returns received
from all free delivery post-offices for the

that 271 ,523 special delivery letters were

when compared with the previous quar-

last, the returns received show an increase
in the business of 1876 per cent. over

The Merced Canal Successfully Completed
Formal Opening.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2.--Thc great Mer-
ced Irrigation Canal was formally opened
yesterday In the presence OF Governor
Waterman and many distinguished
guests. The oration was delivered by
Hon. J. w. Breckinridge. The ceremonies
took place five and half miles from the
City Of Merced, where the flood gate was
opened and tho valley for mile square
converted into q sheet of water named
Lake Yosemite. The canal was begun five
years ago by Charles Crocker, Of railroad
fame, and G. II. Huffman, u wealthy wheat
grower, and their sons The cost Of the
work was f1,5O0,OO0. It Ia twenty. seven
miles long, one hundred feet wide At tho
top, seventy ut tho bottom md ton feet
deep. It will irrigate 10000 acres
Of the most fertile land in California. 1t
receives an inexhaustible supply Of water
from the Mcrced river flowing through the
Yosemite Valley, which is supplied by tho
eternal SHOWS Of the Sierras. At point
two miles below the falls, at MERGED, nm
immense dam raises the stream ten feet
above its normal level. The great engi-
neering features of the work are two tun-
ncls, one 4,403 feet long, driven through
the hill Of solid ..rook, no supports being
necessary; the other 5000 feet long, faced
with the timbers. The dam across the
small valley noar MERGED, constructed to
form reservoir, is 1000 feet long, 275 feet
wide and "a high. The level of the reser-
voir Is ninety feet above the city of Mer-
ced. Water will be conveyed there in
large pipes. 1t is believed the fall will be
sufficient to run by water power the mills
and other manufacturing enterprises.
Colonies will be settled along the line Of
the canal, which is by all odds the most
important enterprise of q similar charac-
ter ever carried to a successful termina-
tion in the State, If not in the United

Blasting Powder.
CLEVELAND, o., Feb. 3.-The blasting
corning mill Of the Austin Powder Com
pany's plant in Newburgh Township, near
this city, was blown to pieces about seven
O'Clock this morning. The mill is used for
granulating the pressed cakes of powder,
and the machinery had just been started
by Reuben Wright when the explosion oc-
CURED. Wright was instantly killed. A
large hole in the ground marks the former
site of the mill, but of the building and
contents not vestige remains. Tho mill
is isolated from the remainder Of tho plant
and this accounts for the small loss Of life.
The company's loss is estimated at Sc, 600.
About 6OO pounds Of powder were in tho
mill at, the time, and its explosion pro-
duced q report heard for miles. The
ground shook as if by an earthquake, and
windows in stores and dwellings q mile
and half from the mill were broken.
