ually grows darker, the color appearing 10 run
over large portions of the sky irrespective of

landscape and weird cOlOring OF the sky is
quite unlike the approach of night and gives
rise to feelings of even in the cOldly scien-

ignorant people. The moons shadow is seen

to roost, dogs howl and the heather, by prayers

gods. 4 few seconds before the commence

into view and surrounding the dark moon on
all sides is seen a glorious halo, generally of a
silver, white light. This is the corona, and is
what astronomers watch with intense interest
all along the contact line during the move

The importance of the eclipse from an as
Economical and scientific standpoint can be
be judged from the extensive preparations
made by astronomers for its observance.

been discovered about the sun has been during
eclipses. East of the Mississippi no scientific

regarded as very unfavorable omen for the
beginning of a new year. For the sun to put
on a veil on the very first day OF new year is
quite an unusual thing Can il be possible
that the happenings of 1889 are going 70 he of
such an immoral nature that the sun bushes

the obstruction of the suns rays caused soft,

LITERALLY BLOWN TO ATOMS.
Horrible Death of Two Young Men by An
Explosion of Dynamite.

NoRRIsTowN, Pa, Jan. "A horrible acci-
cident occurred yesterday two miles from Sum-
mertown, this county, two young linen, named
Erb and Schocker, being literally blown to
atoms by an explosion of a bucket of dynamite.
The young men were employed at James Mil
ler's dynamite factory, and at the time were at
work in Swamp creek, near the factory, mixing
the ingredients of dynamite. 1t is supposed
that in mixing the stuff the proper proportions
were not placed therein, and, as a result, the
explosion ensued. The men were blown to
pieces, and fragments of flesh were scattered
over a wide area. None of the fragments of
flesh picked up were of sufficient size TO show
to which body they belonged. None of the

LIVERPOOL, June 6.-The inquest into
the death OF aybrick, who is supposed
to have been poisoned by bis wife, was
resumed to-day. DIR. Hopper testified
that in treating the patient he had pre-.
scribed the use of strychnine. but had
never advised the use of arsenic. The
witness stated that in June, 1888, Mrs.
Maybrick came to him and asked him
to speak to her husband about his habit
of arsenic taking, to which, she said
he was addicted. May brick had
acknowledged to witness that he had
struck his wife and given her black
eye during a quarrel about a gentleman.
Witness further stated that Mrs. May
brick had expressed herself as having a
repugnance towards her husband and
wished she could obtain separation from
him.
DR.. Humphreys, who had also attended
Maybrick, testified that, shortly before
the patients death he had given direc-
tons that a few drops of solution Of
arsenic be administered hourly to the
sick man. A waiter in the hotel identi.
fed Briefly as the man who stayed with
Mrs. Maybrick for two days as her hus.

elected groans and Kisses, and
the Coroner threatened to clear
the court. A letter was read, which
Mrs. Msybrick wrote to Briefly from jail
appealing for assistance and money, and
stating that everything was known
about their visit to London. The letter
concluded: Appearances are terribly
against me. Before God I swear I am

On Monday evening some ten or fifteen
white men, armed with shot.guns, went
TO the house of a negro named Dock Con-
nelly, who lived FIVE miles from Osyka

The Indians have been counciling all last
night and, today. at their request, Gem
eral Crook met with them. They stated
that it was impossible for them to make
up their minds as rapidly as white people.
They must have time to consider
among themselves. General Crook told
them that the Commission fully
appreciated all these facts, but they could
not remain here indefinitely. He went
over the conditions with them, and
pointed out the benefits which the act
would confer; that, if they accepted, they
would become self-supporting and indie
pendent, with all the advantages which
would accrue from citizenship.
The difficulty which at present con
fronts the Commission is that, 80 long al
the Indians remain here, they must be fec
and so long as they are fed they will en-
deavor to delay action. When the ra
tions stop many of them will return t.
their farms, which are scattered over tn,
reservation, some distant more than 10t

CHICAGO, June 5.-Just before the in
quest over DR.. Cronin was ended for to
day, the books of the Traders Bank o
Chicago were brought into the court
room by order of Judge Shepard. Byron
O.. Smith, receiver Of the bank, wal
present to explain their bearing on the
case. By checks on file and the Ledger
entries, it was shown that in the summer
of 1882 Alexander Sullivan had alto
gether 100000 in the bank. OF this
money, $4,000 and more was in his
individual account, the rest was credited
to Alexander Sullivan as agent. BY
September 6. 1882, this money had been
drawn out on checks made payable to
j. L. Lester Il Co., brokers. 1t wa the
intention Of the Coroner to summon the
members of the firm to probe the matter
further.
Patrick McGarry, Michael Barry, Maui
rice Morris and Joseph O'Byrne, all
members Of the Clan-na- Gael and frien dis
of DIR. Cronin, gave testimony to the gen.
eral effect that DR.. Cronin had said to
them, at different times, hat he expected
Alexander Sullivan to instigate some one
to kill him. All were asked if they had
ever heard one of the threats against
the DOCTORS life by Mr.. Sullivan, and
each replied in the negative.
Thomas j. Conway, a Clan-na-Gae
man, testified that he had overheard Nc
Geehan, the Philadelphia, shy that he
had come West under orders from the
Executive Committee Of the Clan. At a
meeting of Camp "a, Conway continued a
resolution regrettipg Cronin's death was
opposed because, perhaps, the Executive
Committee had proof to show that Cronin
was British spy.
Alexander Sullivan's attention was
called to the testimony of Receiver
Smith this afternoon, at the inquest. Mr..
Sullivan said "There was nothing what
ever in the Traders Bank account which
could not and would not be satisfactorily
explained whenever any proper judicial
proceeding required it. At any time dur
ing the past six years he could have
obtained and destroyed checks, if he SO
desired, but, as there was nothing to con-
ceal, anybody having any right to an
explanation can give it and will do 60 at
the proper time"

CHICAGO, June 5.-The Euening Jour.
nal says: There is trouble in the ranks
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-.
gineers. Chief Arthur is candidate fol
election, and, as such, has been max
ing quiet canvas in the various lodges
of the Brotherhood for the last week. A
secret meeting for this purpose was held
in the city. There were upwards of 200
members present, and with their defeat
by the 30" road, the momentarily ex.
pected reduction in wages on the Santa
Fe and the recent discharge by the Al
ton of large number of the Brother
hood fresh in their minds, the men
were not at all satisfied with the
Chiefs optimistic view. In his speech,
member of the General Grievance
committee, addressing Chief Arthur,
said that reduction of wages is ex-
pected to be made before long on num-
Der of the western roads. "Such
action" said he, 1--WE do not propose to
accept, because we do not believe it jus-
tilted. We therefore desire to know
whether, in the event of a reduction be-
ing ordered, despite our opposition, you
would sanction strike ?"
Chief Arthur did not like the question.
but saw there was no help for it, and
answered: "Under no condition of cir,
cumstances, of which l can conceive,
shall ever sanction another strike"
"But, air," broke in the quest;oner,
"suppose reduction Of wages should
occur on the Union Pacific system where
the Brotherhood is so thoroughly
equipped as to obtain the granting of
everything they ask, wouldn't you
authorize strike to resist it ?"
Without moments hesitation the
Chief replied: "No, sir, 1 would not. Il
trust, l believe, that no reduction of
wages is to be made; but, should there
be, and the men follow my advice, they
will accept the reduction. shall never
sanction another strike"
Chief Arthur stopped, and the meeting
adjourned. Murmurs Of discomfort have
been heard ever since. 1t was known
that the Chief had a strong dislike for
strikes, but that his conservatism was 80
extreme as his speech ehowed it to be
was never dreamed.
