Init were seated two men, and as they passed by one of the pedestrians said to the other as the buggy drove past, 'See that man on the far side os that buggy; that is Dr. Cronin: the Irish Nationalist" AS he spoke tho words the buggy pulled up in front of the Carlson cottage and Cronin sprang out and rushed up tho steps as if he> had been summoned on a case of great emergency.

DIED WHILE STITCHING.
An Aged Seamstress Found Dead With
 Her Needle in Her Hand.

NEWARK, N. J., Oct. 24. - Bridget Welch aged 75 years, lone seamstress living in one room of Charles Turbett S house, at Mo-. 14 Congress street, disap- peared, as it was thought, last Saturday and all efforts to find her proved fruit less until last night. The Turbetts thought she had gone to visit a sister, as she some times did, but inquiry at the sisters home elicted the infornia- tion that the old lady had not been seen there.
 All this time the door of her room had been locked, and only yesterday evening did it occur to MT. Turbett that the missing woman might be in her room. Officer Barnett was called, and he burst open the door. On the floor in the dim light was seen the old lady sitting in a corner, tailor fashion, with pair of half-completed trousers on her knee, with the needle drawn half through the cloth, and her thin fingers clasping it. She was dead Spots of blood on the cloth and on the dress made it evident that she had died of hemorrhage of the lungs, and had passed away without being able to cal any of the inmates of the house.
 Friends have taken charge of the body, and will give it a decent burial

 CARBoNDALE. Pa, Oct. 24.-Sylvester Delaney and five other owners of land in South Canaan have received an offer from Newark smelling cosnpany of $50, GOO for the privilege of minin what ever mineral may underlie their proper ties --
 Not long ago Michael Brady, Color ado miner, visited friends in South Canaan, and discovered indications of copper. He urged Mir. Delaney to un- cover the rock and have the orc assayed. The work was undertaken at once, and ten feet from tho surface oxide of cop per was found. The prospectors con tinued to tunnel tho hill until the met alliferouS stratum was reached. Speci- mems were assayed and reported to be rich in copper and silver. '
 This report encouraged MT. Delaney to prosecute the work which he had commenced and the tunnelling was continued until, at seventy-five feet, eighteen inches of the pay rock was found. William N. Arnold caught the fever and begun operations upon his land, which adjoins MT. Delaney $ farm. Lyman Kennedy was next to uncover the surface, and he too found what proved to be paying copper ore. An attempt was made to organize a company and develop the property, but the scheme was not approved by the land owners, as the arrangement would compel them to transfer their rights tc syndicate of managers.

THE BIG RAILWAY DEAL.
Twelve Thousand Miles of Railroad to be
 Controlled by One System.

NEW YORK. Oct. A.-A very important railroad deal has been consummaued without Wall street obtaining anything like an adequate idea of it's magnitude. Negotiations have been pending for some time between the Chicago and ~ Northwestern and the Union Pacific RaiToad companies for a close traffic arrangement that would enable the first named to reach the Pacific coast and other terminal ports on the great lakes. These negotiations were defi- .nitely concluded yesterday, when con- tract that had previously been ratified by the directory of each company was executed by their respective executive officers
 The contract provides for the running of through passenger and freight trains from Chicago to Portland, Oregon, over the lines of the two systems. All through. traffic from points on one sys- tem to points on the other will be handled by the two as if by a single system. Under this arrangement the Northwestern road will go into the market for business to all points in the Pacific Northwest, while the Union Pacific, in it's territory, will receive reached by the Northwestern road. So far as the patrons of the two companies are concerned, they will deal upon the
 basis and be served as if by one con- cern. The contract is to run for ten years from Nov. 1 next, and it is now expected that all of the facilities
 necessary to carry it out will be in readiness on that date. The Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Rail road Company, majority of whose stock is owned by the Chicago and Northwestern Company, is a party to apolis, and to Duluth. The Union Pacific is. thus enabled to compete at every important centre east of the Missouri River that is touched by the Northern Pacific Wisconsin Central com bination.
