FUNERAL WITHOUT A CORPSE.
The Body of Pittsburg Editor Sent to
 the Potter's Field by Mistake.

The Body of n Pittsburg Editor Sent to
 the fotter's Field by Mistake.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The friends of Gus tave A. r. Friedrichs, late editor of The Pittsburg Volksbatt and n prominent menl- Der of various German societies, are very in- dignant over blunder by the authorities whereby Mir. Friedrichs body was sent to the Potter's field for intermcnt. Mir. Friedrichs died Sunday at Bellevue hospital, where he had been under treatment for kidney disease. Members of the Schuetzenbund arranged with the hospital authorities to retain the body to allow time for funeral preparations On call ing for the body it was found that the off, cials of the morgue adjoining the hospital, where the body had been deposited for safe keeping, had sent it to Hart's Island for burial, instead of the body of a pauper des- tined for that place. The funeral cortege, consisting of 200 members of the Schuetzen- bund, in carriages, was disbandel, and Com missioner Porter was called upon for an ex- planation. He expressed great chagrin, and by using the telegraph between the city and Hart's Island was able to prevent the actual interment of the body there and ordered it shipped. The funeral took place to-day, in- terment being at the Lutheran cemetery.

PRICE TWO CENTS.

the group in the after part of the ship. By and by soft English voices start tender madrigal, and then comes song after song. Few of the motley assem- blaze are familiar with the airs we of the northern countries know, and national characteristics crop out. A Castilian barcarole, a French war song, Cana dian hunting ditty, Dave Braham mel ody, Spanish glee follow each other in quick succession. The cosmopolite quality of the vessel is fully developed in the songs the people sing.
 And thus the hours glide on while the good ship speeds steadily through the tropic Atlantic, bound for the lands of eternal summer.
 As the night grows old there comes gradual hush over all; conversation as well as merry melodies cease; no sound is heard save the swash of the sea and the gentle drumming of the Canadian guitar. The company is thinking per haps of absent friends, or meditating on future scenes. Suddenly the aimless picking of the musician touches famil- far chord. It is ''Home, Sweet Homew Marvellous melody! Wondrous words! With one accord the whole assemblage freshens and revives, and when a young woman with voice like Cordelia starts the verses, all appear to join in, for every heart seems touched by the song, just as it ever has been and ever shall be, world without end.
 There is absolute catholicity in Home, Sweet Home." have heard it sung by rough miners in the wilds of the Rocky mountains; by discouraged climbers in the Swiss Alps, with the ghostlike Jung frau standing out like warning senti- mel, and although the men and the women have been from far different climes, the universal pathos of the mel ody has appealed to all. Nothing was ever written or composed exciting such an influence on the traveller as this crea- ton of a homeless man. Here in the lonely tropic seas it was impressive even to unsentimental natures, and when the last words died out on the night air the song had fallen on the ships people like benediction.
 Listen! There go six bells. Eleven o'clock. The lights are ordered out. The day is done. FREDERICK w. WHITE.

DEFAULTER MOORE INDICTED.

Prosecutor Mitchell Indignantly Denies
 President Greone's Statement.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 6.-Joseph A. Moore the defaulter for over half a million, has been indicted by the Marion county grand jury on the charge of embezzlensent, and an indict- ment for forgery will probably also be re turned. Prosecutor Mitchell is indignant over statement that has been autographed from Hartford, in which President Greene, of the Connecticut Mutual, Is credited with say ing that he Intellectually insisted that Moore should be prosecuted without delay.
 "As have repeatedly said," he declared, "there is no truth whatever ill the statement that we were instructed to prosecute Moore and that it was owing to our neglect that he escaped. He would have been arrested at any hour of the day or night had representa- tives of the company shown the slightest de sire to have it done by filing information against him.

Their Work at Indianapolis Retarded by
 Fractional Rivalry.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 6.-The joint conven- tion of miners and mine operators in annual session here was attended by delegates from Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Pennsylvania The object is to agree upon Q satisfactory scale of wages for the coming year. The Indiana section of the miners held a meeting before entering the convention and practi- cally determined that the scale should not be lowered. The first question that arose in the convention showed that the body was not free from factions, owing to the presence of members of the two antagonistic organiza- tions-the Knights of Labor and the Miners Federation. The former was led by w. B. Ray and the latter by w. T. Lewis The question of wages is still unsettled. The operators are now paying seventy-five cents ton and want to reduce the price to seventy four cents, while the miners want an in crease, but will compromise at present rates.

Charges Against J. Ellen Foster MAdc In
 the Form of Questions.


 MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 6.-Mrs H. A. Hobert, president of the Minnesota w. c. T. U., in an open letter to Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, president of the Iowa w. c. T. U., vigorously attacks the latter for her adherence to the Republican party and her alleged efforts to disrupt the National w. c. T. U. The letter, after re- ferring to the disaffection in w. c. T. U. ranks, asks Mrs. Foster four questions:

 Second-"Did you not refuse to confirm the election of certain women elected constitu- tionally by the districts to represent them at New York;"
 Third-"Did you not by protests for four years, by unchristian charges [now proven falsel and by newspaper reports seek to bring about secession in w. c. T. U. ranks, and to lead such secession movement, and did you not pay the bills accruing in this workF'
 Fourth-''Have you not been in receipt of pay from the Republican party for these and other services!"
 If Mrs Fosters answers do not confirm the above, Mrs. Hobart says proof in the shape of records, etc., will be forthcoming.

A MOUNTAIN SINKING.

The Biggest Cave In Ever Known in this
 County in Progress at Carbondale-NIis-
 siles Flying Like Cannon Balls.
 SCRANTON, Pa., Feb 6-The miners in the White Bridge tunnel of the Delaware and Hudson Canal company, at Carbondale, have been ordered out on account of the bursting of the pillars and the settling of the roof and the ground above it.
 The entire mountain lying west of the city, extending from the entrance of the tunnel to a point the summit pond near Coie's gap, is seriously disturbed by this settling of the excavated portions. The area actually undermined is fully two miles in length by about three quarters of mile ill width.
 One of the men employed ill the extreme end of the workings describes the cracking and roaring of the earth being hundred times louder than the most terrific thunder storm he ever heard. Great pieces of coal were forced from the sides of the pillars, rat tied along the walls, and tore away the wooden props which supported the roof. These missiles were sent with the swiftness of can non balls
 For more than q week past the miners at work in this tunnel have heard the warning sounds that always precede the settling of the roof rock. The noise kept increasing day after day, but the men still worked on, as they were not easily frightened On Thurs day the cracking of the props and the sharp reports caused by the bursting of the pillars gave notice that it was time to fly. The mine foreman ordered the men to stop work, but some of the more adventurous ones did not obey the order and still kept on working. Yesterday an immense portion of the excava- tion caved ill and the men had narrow es- capes for their lives.
 The loss to the company will be large, and about ,OOO men and boys will be thrown out of employment. The rotting away of old timber props caused the cave ill.

An Anarchist Tramp's Prophecy.

BUFFALO, Feb. GA tramp who was given food by Fs rmer Lampman, near Hamburg, N. Y, recently, indulged in this harangue: "There's going to be the biggest fire in Buffalo that was ever known one of these days Curses on rich people! they're not fit to live tell you the truth, there's going to be big fires in Buffalo, Chicago and New York. There is going to be big strike in New York and half of New York burned up afterward Detroit and all the big cities will have big fires, too. We'll get rich and the rich will get poor" The prophecy has been fulfilled so far as Buffalo is concerned. The tramp showed a bomb, which he said would scatter oom- bustibles and cause a rapid fire.
