HORSE THIEF CAPTURED.-A val
liable horse was stolen from j. f.
Weaver, of Charleston, on wednes-
day night of last week. kilograms
were sent here describing the horse
and thief, and asking to keep an
eye out for them. The horse was
discovered tied in the willows under
the Ohio river bank near the wharf,
by Bird Caste, and by him and Mr..
Gibson taken to Hoofrs livery sta
bic, and shortly afterward the tbiei
was captured by officer Vest, who
gave his name and Peter Clarke, OF
Cincinnati. Detective ALT. Burnett
and Mr.. Weaver arrived here Sat
urday from Charleston, and took
their prisoner back Sunday night
on the Capital City.

We love to boast of the enterprise
and growth of our town, and of its
splendid sidewalks, but the time
has arrived when we must protest
in the name of the people, at the
way it is proposed to lower the
grade for the new sidewalk now
about to be put down on the east
side of Main street, commencing at
Sixth street. This excavation will
make the street much lower than it
is now, and will also necessitate the
cutting down of Sixth street. The
town is low enough now, and there
is no sense or justification in make
ing it still lower.

Our public schools are advancing
in the term. About five months of
the term yet remains. We notice a
number of children idIeing their
time away on the streets, who
should be at school. If parents
have an interest in the future of
their children or wards, they would
see that they went to school and got
the full benefit of the term. Com
paratively few parents in this COM
munity are financially able to edu-
cate their children in the seminaries
and colleges of the larger towns,
and the boy or girl who starts out
in life without an education has a
very limited chance of success
Make your children go to the pub

may have chance in the world.

A Young Boys Skull Crushed and Ills
 Body Thrown Into a Bonfire.

CELINA, Ohio, Dec. 2.-About mile south of here, yesterday, several mon found John Tugar lying by the remains of {. blazing fire and shot through the bedy.
 When questioned about a boy seen with him the night before Tugar re- piled that he was in the fire, pointing out where parts of the boy were still roasting in the log heap. The men dragged the ashes and found buttons, buckles, bones and pieces of roasted flesh, all that remained of a 15-year-old lad.
 Tugar, whose bullet wound will not prove fatal, stated at the inquest held over the boys remains, that the lad was his son John. They had been tramping and he drove the lad out to beg. The little fellow returned late without anything. This incensed Tu- gar, who set the boy at work gathering a large quantity of wood, with which an immense bonfire was built. Late at night they quarrelled. and he struck the boy, crushing his skull. Alarmed at what he had done, and thinking to destroy the evidence of his crime, he flung the body in the blazing fire and spent the balance of the time until day light poKing the body with sticks to destroy it fully. With the morning, alarmed at discovery, he turned his pistol, which contained but one load, against his breast and fired.

James t. B|aine's Letter TO DOM PEDR0 The De- lhroned Emperor If BiaziL,
STATE DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON,
 

STATE DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON,
 November 21, 1889.
 Yours of the 18th inst received, and I would say in reply that am not at all surprised at the turn things have taken. If you remember the conversation we had together at the centennial held in Philadelphia in 1876, 1 outlined the policy you should pursue. The Pan- American congress was then discussed. The spirit of the age is progressive and the people have no use for kings, queens, dukes or earls. I see by the paper you are invited by the queen to visit Windsor castle; I would kindly suggest that you tell the Widow Brown to get her baggage ready to vacate, as the feeling which your subjects have manifested in such a practical manner is decidedly contagious. A republic is simply the outgrowth of the enlight- ened spirit of the nineteenth century. Please convey to her majesty my most distinguished consideration. It will perhaps be necessary for you to select some furniture for your new home, and as freights are extraordinarily low in this country, it would more than pay you to try some goods of the WATER BURY FURNITURE COMPANY No 20 GRAND STREET.

LABOR AGlTAToR BURNS.
Ho VIII Visit This Country to Advo sato
 the Elgbt-Hour Question.


 the Eigbt-Hour Question.
 NEW YORK, Dec 2.-John Burns, Iondon's labor agitator, will visit this city ln February to make speeches in the interests of organized labor, as the movement for reduction of hours is the only question which is engaging the attention of the labor organizations throughout the country. When the American Federation of Labor met in St. Louis last December, it decided to hold general series of eight-hour meetings all over the country on Wash ington's Birthday, July 4, Labor Day. and on February 22, 1890.
 The first three series have been held and preparations are being made for the fourth and last. The Federation decided that these meetings should be preliminary to general demand for the eight-hour day on May l, 1890. All Ehe national and international bodies connected with the Federation stand committed to that policy.
 President Gompers says tho American Federation of Labor does not propose to inaugurate general eight-hour strike next May, but he intimatcs if strike Is necessary to secure the eight-hour system that it will be resorted to.
 Secretary r. J. Mcclure of the Feder- ntion does not seem to agree with that. He said few days ago that strike was not contemplated in any event. As he understood the movement, it was 5imply an agitation designed to educate tho public mind on the subject.
 There is a division of opinion on the subject among the leaders of the promi- nent industrial organizations. It was expected that the Knights of Labor would join hands with the Federation in the matter, but the recent General Assembly of the Knights held at At lanta, Ga, declined to do so. The Knights took tho ground that tho time was not ripe for the eight-hour move

HARD TIMES FOR MINERS.
Many Collierlcs shut Down and Thousands
 of Men Idle.

Many CollicrIcs shut Down and Thousands
 of Men Idle.
 PoTTsvIILE, Pa.. Dec. 2.-Thc miners in the anthracite coal regions are in a deplorable frame of mind. Hard times are written everywhere. The largo number of colleries that wore shutdown to stop coal production are still idle Added to these are about a dozen that were compelled to stop owing to tho floods. Probably 2,500 men and boys are now out of work Those who are employed at the mines arc working at a per cent. reduction. The severe eff fleets of the late long strike are still felt. Many are not yet out of debt. Winter is here, provisions and produce are high, and 1t is for all these reasons that the miners and laborers' organization have issued a pitiful appeal for more wages and more work.
 Among the large workings now idle may be mentioned the Cameron and Lake Eidler, about Shamokin. Over 2, 900 men in that district are idle and in straightened circumstances. The Draper and Gilberton collieries are also shut down. The Hickory Swamp Col fiery of w. L. Scott is not in operation. Wages have been very severely cut in many private collieries, far below the rates paid by the Reading Coal and Iron SOmp panN, auu lue eulploSeS Ol Ino Leisenring Company arc becoming res tive. Hickory Ridge has also closed down, and in that region about 1000 men are idle.
 The Executive Board of the Miners and aborers' Association, in their ad- dress to the public, complain that out of 100, 900 acres of coal lands owned by the great corporations, only 10, 900 are being worked, thereby leaving 90,0oo acres idle. They say that coal can be mlned and sold far cheaper than it is; that eX cessive freight tolls are charged by the railroad companies to swell their prof its and at the same time make q poor showing for the coal trade, and that, as the railroad companies own the coal mines, the excessive charges are unfair to the miner and unjust to the con- sumner.
 On the other hand. tho coal companies say that to flood the morket with coal would be to ruin prices and create panic in the trade, which would be in sane in itself.
 Meanwhile the miners are going ahead perfecting most thorough reor- .ganization. and in a short time they will be better organized than ever be fore. Business continues very dull,

Suicides iil the German Army.

BERLIN, Dec. 2.-The committee ap- pointed to inquire into the increasing number of suicides among German off cers has completed it's labors, but it's report has not been made public and probably never will be. It is under stood that the principal reason assigned for the greater number of suicides is the inability of many of the poor but proud junior officers to keep up ap- pearances with those of their more for tunately situated comrades who have private means. Attempts to improve their condition by gambling or specula- tion lead of course to debts in most cases, which, by the code. can only be acquitted by prompt payment or the death of the person mourning such obli- ra atiOnS

He had no off cial knowledge that the Knights would send committee to the convention.
