A Big Windfau.

The English plasterer who has been
left fortune estimated at 81 400, 900 by
a relative in Australia has been discov-
cred at Kettering, in Northamptonshire.
His name is John James Pearce, and I'M
til few weeks ago he lived at the par
ish of Kingsthorpe, hamlet of North
ampton. He lodged with a lady named
Weston, after the decease, few months
ago, of his wife, who committed suicide.
Fear of poverty was ascribed as the
cause of her act. Last Sunday, while
reading, he came across a paragraph an
nouncing that Sydney clergyman had
left 81 100000 to man in England
named Pearce. "Why," exclaimed the
plasterer to his landlady, "that's me;
he's my uncle! That money belongs to
me!' His identity has already been &C
knowledged by the London agents of the
Australian solicitors to the deceased
millionaire. Pearce leaves England for
Australia in the course of day or two.
He worked for several master plasterers
in Northampton, and is described by his
fellow workmen as quiet, reserved fell
low, teetotaler, and gave people the
idea that he had seen better days.-Lon-

republic and voices the views of the liter
airy men of that nation. Count Dekera-
terry has had several interviews with Sec
rotary Blaine recently. 1t is supposed
that their conferences have thus far
been of general character on
the subject of the international
copyright which has been before congress
during several sessions and while the sec
rotary of state. acting for the president
has a constitutional right to negotiate a
treaty with France or any other country
in the subject of copyright or anything else,
Mr.. Blaine is not likely to take the matter
abruptly out of the hands of congress,
especially as congress has shown a dis
position to legislate in way that would
be equivalent to the negotiation of a
treaty with France and all the other
nations of the earth. Count Dekeratery's
mission is special one. He is not at all
connected with the regular legation here
and his business is not confined to the
subject of copyright"

FOILED BY A WOMAN.
A Terrible Struggle With Burglars Sur
prised at Their Work.

SPRINGFIELD. n. Y, Nov % Last night
John Use and an unknown man entered
the house of Daniel Mead and as they were
rifiing Mr.. Mead's secretary, which was in
the sitting room, in which he kept his
money, they were surprised by Mrs. Mead,
who on entering the room exclaimed
"Who are you and what do you wantW
Mrs. Mead's room was on the ground floor.
One of the men turned and made grab
for her throat, but the woman was
strong as we'll as brave, and she
seized him and called loudly for
help. She maintained her unequal contest
with the burglar until his confederate beat
her on the head with club and broke her
arm and wrist in three places. Mr.. Mead
who was at home and up stairs was not
awakened until he heard the smashing of
furniture in the struggle below. He
rushed down and at the foot of the stairs,
met one of the burglars and grappled with
him. Mead had nearly overpowered the
man when the other drew a revolver and
fired into his face. The bullet entered his
mouth and passed through the back of his
head AS soon as Mrs. Mead freed herself
from the grasp of the man she ran to
the neighbors and gave the alarm,
although almost oVefpOWeu from
the loss of blood. When assistance came
the burglars had fled and Mead was found
on the floor of the sitting room near the
stairway unconscious from the loss of
blood. The room gave evidence of a ter
rible struggle The furniture was smashed
and the walls despatched with blood from
wounds inflicted on the heroic woman's
head with club welded by one Of the
burglars.
Mrs. Mead recognized the man who
dealt the blows as John Use, man who
had lately been employed on the place. A
posse of 100 men was at once organized to
capture him. When they reached his
house his pursuers went up stairs after
him He Jumped out of second story
window to the ground and fed to the
woods, taking with him repeating rife.
The men followed and surrounded the
forest but wholesome fear of the repeat
ing rifle prevented their going after him.
i he forest is surrounded. so that it is only
a matter Of time when Use will be cap
tured. The Meads are popular and if
their injuries rovefatal, as is very likely.
Use will need strong protection TO prevent
the citizens from melting out punishment
without legal formality. Uses confeder-
ate escaped while the attention of the citi-
zens was directed to Use, and no trace of
him has been found.

Spring Valley Relief Committeeman Re-
fused Work in the Mines.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 2s.-Henry D. Lloyd,
formerly on the editorial staff of the Chi
cago Tribune, today furnished the follow
ing to the associated press: 81 have just
received the following from Spring Valley:
The Spring Valley Coal company, to pre-
pare people here to celebrate Thanksgiv-
ing, have refused employ ment upon re-
opening the mines to miners who, during
the lockout just ended, took a leading
part in the distribution of food. clothing
and and medicine to the sick and starving.
This relief forced the company to make
terms twice as good as those first
offered, although it did not
save the men from severe
reduction. The company has also declined
to re-employ officers of labor unions As
there is no other industry in Spring valley
except that of this coal company, this re-
fusai to employ banishes the members of
the relief committee and leaders of the
union from Spring valley. They are pen
niless. This action Of the company has so
intimidated the miners that they decline
to receive relief for those who are still In
neen. They are afraid that if they are
found distributing relief they will also be
told to leaye. Relief will be needed but
the union has been broken up and the
miners do dot dare to form another reliet
committee"

BALTIMORE IN THE LEAGUE,

BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. 2S-Baltimore
will take the place of Washington in the
the National league. The deal has not
yet been completed, but enough is known
of the situation to warrant the assertion.
Indeed the local management practically
admits that the arrangement now in prog
ress will be completed before another
week has passed. Mr.. Won der Horst, who
virtually owns the American Association
franchise here, is of the opinion that that
organization is moribund, and as he does
not propose to lose the money he has al
ready invested, he finds himself
compelled to place the club
with an organization which at least
gives promise of reimbursing his losses.
The detection of the Baltimore players
who have signed with the brotherhood was
altogether due to the disruption of the
American association.
The deal in question was one of the fea-
lures of the late league meeting. 1t will
not be great surprise if the league makes
another big stroke during the next two or
three weeks even greater than the gaining
of Baltimore. Deals are going on and ev-
eryone means increased opposition to the
players new league. The fact is that there
are two or three legitimate schemes ahead
which may be consummated, and they sll
mean the very strongest opposition TO the
proposed league, even though it should
materiaii2e.
SPAULDING ON LEAGUE CONTRACTS.
CHICAGO, H., Nov. 2S.-In an interview
today President Spaulding, of the league.
said:
The league consider that the contracts
that were signed by players before the COM
mencement of last season. giving them an
option on the services for 1880. still hold
good. The players seem to be having a

their own salaries and signing what, to
say the least, is very remarkable

length OF the contract may have prevented

tents. BY the recent legislation a. the an

coMIskEY WON'T SIGN.

DENVER, Col, Nov. 28.-From the best
of authority it is learned that Won der Abe
recently sent man here to secure Charley
Comiskey's name to contract for the
Browns next year. Chris being fearful
that his great first baseman might jump
into the brotherhood instructed that the
most liberal inducements should be held
out to Comiskey. After a little
parleying the contract was handed
him to sign. He was to be
given $500 for the season, and a check for
$500 for advance money was ready to be
handed him when he signed. Comiskey
refused to sign, and told the agent to 90
and tell Chris to go to sheol. He said:
Tell the old man to first pay me $1,000
that be owes me for the past two seasons,
for il l am now worth $500, was worth
1t then. and he has been cheating me out
of $500 year for the past two years."
All the Browns are very bitter toward Won
der Abe. They are all of the opinion that
the association is dead beyond redemp-
ton.

Rattlesnako Oil.

There are places in South Georgia
where men extract oil from the rattle
snake and use it to cure rheumatism.
These persons will give a negro 81 to
point out a rattlesnake to them, and
then they kill it in a peculiar manner.
They place a forked stick over the
snakes head, then put cord around it
and strangle the snake. This is done to
keep the snake from biting itself. The
body of the reptile is then strung up and
the Oil extracted from it. 1t sells at SO
per ounce, and this industry is a very
profitable one. The snakes in that Sec
ton are very large, averaging FIVE feet
great deal of oil. a little negro once
saw two rattlers lying close together and
wanted to get the money for finding
them. 1t was a mile to the nearest
house. He was afraid the snakes would
crawl off while he was gone, and so he
took off his coat and placed it between
the SNAKES. He went off, came back,
and found them still eying the coat. he
had them charmed. So the snake is
cultivated down there as a profitable in
