BRAZIL, IND, July 3.-The regular
semi weekly meeting of the Miners Oen-
trail Relief Company was held yesterday.
The number of dependents was reported
at 5,5T7, an increase of 65 since Friday.
The vote taken at the different mines on
Monday was officially announced to be in
favor of rejecting the operators offer and
continuing the strike. The miners are
expecting aid from the miners in Illinois
Ohio and Pennsylvania, which, since they
are unorganized, is slow about coming in.
One of the number say they must soon go
to work unless more help comes. The
operators still offer work sufficient to
afford support at 20 and rs cents tom.

NEW THIRD STREET DHdW.

Hazel Dell Fair.

Hazel Dell Fair.
Third street bridge was again causing
trouble Monday, but II opened to traffic
on Tuesday, although how long 1t will
remain SO is q source of conjecture. The
pier on which the draw rests Is constantly
settling, first on one side and then on
the other, and this is the most frequent
source of trouble, as the wheels then
refused to adjust themselves properly to
the rail.
Levy Courtman Hickman, when asked
on Tuesday when the new draw would
be begun, said: "Not for aome time yet.
Not until after the Hazel Dell fair in
September"
The cause of The delay is stated to be
on account Of the low state of the
county's treasury. 1t was intended to
begin this month, but the lack Of money
makes postponement necessary. In the
meantime, the old hulk will be repatohed
and repaired unleas it should happen to
collapse.

the doctor thought life had departed.
Emetics were administered. The pGlsa-

Every indication existed OF arsenical

disclose anything in regard to the poison
taken. Subsequently the officers took
the man out OF doors and walked him
around assisting every effort of anima-

the Victim beyond danger.
It ia understood that the husband
feared that his little girl Aida, who had
been i'll with scarlet fever was going to
die. He had been upstajrs talking on
that subject, when be suddenly went
down TO the kitchen. In few minutes
his wife heard the piercing cry "Oh-rve
done it all for little Aida" Rushing
down stairs she found her husband
already semi unconscious.
DR. Mnr0an did mt Iaaya the man
until his pulse was 38. Dooliug went to
work on Tuesday. He is very much
ashamed of himself for his thoughtless
act and is very happy now that he did
not succeed.

In the first place the general public
seems to have very slight confidence in
the sincerity OF Mr.. Addicks' lond pro-
LESSONS about buying site and erecting
the proposed works. They haye heard
of Mr.. Addicks before. They heard of
him last winter as candidate for the
United States senatorship, only to learn.
when the Legislative session was we'll
under way, that his senatorial boom was
merely shrewd advertisement for his
subsequent attempt to possess himself of
corporate charter with almost IN
limited powers. He did not get the
senstorship, which was no diRappoin'-
ment to him as he did not expact it. He
did get his charter, but it was emascu-
lated materially by striking out some of
the Unlimited privileges contained in the
original draft, which was somewhat of o
| disappointment to the great gas man.
| 1t is no secret that the real object of
Mr.. Addioks movement is the possession
Of q majority of the Wilmington Coal
Gas Company's stock. Itisa monopoly
that he wants not q competitive estsh.
lishment. Composition is not in the line
of the Addicks' business. A competing
gas company in this city, with an estab-
lished gas company and paying electric
light plant already in the field as rivals,
would, as every sensible business man
knows, prove foolhardy venture. MIR.
Addicks talks freely about buying site
and constructing the works, hut this talk
is generally regarded az bluff, intended
to brighten timid stockholders of the
local gas company into selling their
STOCK at price far below its resl value
If they will sell cheaply Mr.. Addicks will
buy freely, until he holds majority of
the stock, and then he will enjoy the
monopoly OF the gas business Of Will
mington, instead OF the local company,
whose stockholders are principally citi-
| zans Of Wilmington, having come con-
cern in the material interests OF this city
and its people. The Addicss' agents are
"viewingn numerous sites for the pro-
posed new gas works and sounding
the marshes along the river suburbs, but
they are making no move to buy. Nor
| do they act like men who mean business.
| They go around in q brass baud style,
publicly announcing that they are look
| ing for site for the new gas works as
| though they wanted the entire ccmmu-
nifty to know what they are after. People
who really want to make real estate pus-
chases do not act in this matter. They
work quietly, buy as cheaply as possible
and in order to keep the price down con-
zeal the real object Of their purchase as
long as possible. Il
Thus far the new gas company boom
has not scared any OF the old gas COM
pany's stockholders into parting with
their stock at besrish rates. Addicks can
buy, but he will have to pay the gilt.
edged market prices, and this he will not
care do. Meanwhils the brass band hunt
for sites and the talk about new works
will go on with redoubled vieor, but very
few people believe it will ever amount to
anything more than talk. 1t will take
ocular demonstration to convince the
public that the voluble Addicks means
real solid business in his present scheme.

Huffmam.
Judge Clark's court was occupied yes-
terdsy in trying the case of John v. Huff
man against Geo. H. Niemaier. The
plaintiff wants 10000 damages, and
alleges in the complaint that on the 25th
OF February, 1888, the defendant entered
into promise to marry his daughter that
subsequently, on the 18th of June, 1888,
while this promise Of marriage existed he,
by force and violence, seduced the girl
that as result she became pregnant.
and in March, 1889. became
mother. Miss Hoffman ia al
legged at all times to have
been ready to marry Niemaier, and that
she is still so desirous, bnt that the
defendant has and does refuse to redeem
his promise. The effort of the defense.
as the facts are ncontrovertible, is to
show that Niemaier has on several occs-
sions been ready to marry her, but that
she, at the instigation of her father, has
put it off. He alleges that on the 9th Of
March, 1889, he wished to marry her.
but her father objected that it was Lent.
and he wished them to wait until after
Easter. He also opposed the
marriage at other times, unless
the ceremony could be solemnized
according to the rites of the Roman
Catholic church.. He also objected to
Niemaier at ons time because he had
lost money and Huffman did not think
he was able to support q wife. The case
is on trial, and DR.. Wernigk is acting as
interpreter. During the progress Of the
trial Judge Clark fined Niemaier $50 for
contempt of court, he having said in vio-
lent tones to Huffman, &C. d. you'll"
