county, that state, near the present
site Of COnnersville. The chief political
leaders in the county ware Law

the voters were divided into two nearly
equal factions, Known respectively as the
Brownies and the Brown!esites At all

feeling became SO bitter that years were re
quired to efface the effects of the quarrel. A
few weeks before the election Col. Brownlee
sent his two young rs and myself with q
team ana wagon to Cincinnati ID gss bar

The trip occupied about a week, bu5 we
returned home aud secreted the barrel in a
cave on the Brownies farm without the OBJ

old colonel tire ltened to horsewnip us if we
opened our m Ouths on the su ject or course

that his rival had provided = barrel of COM

barrel of ''old peachn would have on the
voters, he smiled contentedly as he thought
OF the certain discontinue of Lawyer
Brown. On election day Brown opened his
barrel first and started regular boom,

would win the victory. But later the
Brownlee boys brought the barrel OF old
peach brandy to tle polls. Fhs head was

A Chicago dispatch OF the 4th says:
The announcement made last night that
the Burlington atrike had been prac-
tically settled was correct. The confer
ence of the engineers committee and
the railroad officials was continued to-
day to arrange some Of the minor
points of the controversy. At $50
o'clock this afternoon the representa-
tives of the press were admitted to the
conference room, and in their presence
as well as that of the parties to the
agreement Vice-Presldent Stone, of the
Burlington road, read the following
statement:
The Burlington strike has been set
tied. BY the terms OF the resolution
the Brotherhood committee were APP
pointed under at the Richmond con-
ventiou, they were instructed to report
to Chief Arthur any settlement which
they might reach as soon as made and
the committee requested us not to make
the terms of the settlement public un-
til they should have an opportunity to
acquaint Mr.. Arthur with them, be-
cause they thought 1t only proper and
courteous for him to hear them first
through the committee, instead of
through the public press. We have
told them that we would scrupulously
respect their wishes and they have in
turn, promised that Mr., Arthur will ad-
wise me as soon as he receives it, so that
/ can acquaint our people and the gen.
eral public with them"
When Mr.. Stone had finished reading
this statement Mr.. Cavener said that
there was nothing to add to it, and both
OF these gentlemen declined to enter in
to further details. When the reporter
asked Chairman Cavener whether the
committee would proceed to Cleveland
to lay the agreement before Mr.. Arthur,
he replied that it would not; that the
committee would remain in Chicago for
some days. In reply to the question as
to the means to be employed to acquaint
Mr. Arthur with the result, Mr.. Caven-
er replied evasively, but he clearly in
Dictated that it would be telegraphed,
when in reply to query as to how soon
it would reach him, he said it would be

PANAMA NOT ALARMED.

Work on the Great Canal Progressing
Favorably-No Fears of Trouble.
A Panama dispatch of the 31st says;
Some anxiety has been occasioned here
by the crisis through which the Pana-
ma Canal Company has been passing re-
Gently. Serious alarm, however, has
not been felt, the faith in the ultimate
successful issue of the enterprise being
great. Work still continues steadily on
the canal. The various contract
ors have promptly paid off up
to date and everybody seems
cheerful and unaffected. Apart from
the inevitable indulgence in talk, more
or less wild, by uniformed and ire
sponsible persons, the only sign of any
crisis is to be found in the money
market, where the premium on gold
and foreign notes has advanced from A
to 80 per cent. One of the more curious
features of the situation is the manifest
alarm that is felt abroad regarding the
resultant condition of affairs on the
isthmus. From the fact that ships of war
are being sent down, it would appear that
riots and disorder are considered sure to
occur. Of these the preliminary indica-
tions are yet to be seen. There does
not appear so be any disposition on the
part of the populace to excitement.
But even were these fears to be real
lied the country should be quite indie
pendent of the active intervention of
foreign aid. With 600 troops in this
city ready at moments notice for trans
portation to any point between here
and Colon, and with well-armed and
highly disciplined police force of $50
men in Colon. Panama is in position
to repress any riotous tendencies that
NAV be manifested

WINNIPEG, Man.. Jan. 3.-Surveyor
Oqilvie, whose arrival from Edmonton
was reported two days since, reached
here last night from the north country.
About 100 miles north of Fort Good
Horse, HUDSON Bay Company post on
Mackenzie River, Mr.. Ogilvie fell in
with Lord Lonsdale's party. They
were then passing north and appeared
in the best OF health. This meeting
took place on June 30, about 800 miles
north of Edmonton.

Lonsdale is perfectly safe. He had only
one man with him, but he employs
others, including Esquimaux and inter
prefers, through lie agency of the
Hudson's Bay Company. He asked me
about getting over to Yukon, and told
him that if he had unlimited money
and unlimited nerve he might get
there"
Being questioned concerning the dis
pute between Canada and the United
States on the Alaska boundary, Mr..
Ogilvie declined to say anything. AS to
there being valuable gold deposits in
volved, he was not aware that such was
the case. The mineral wealth of the
country was undoubtedly great, but as

DESTROYED THE DIES.

AN Interesting Operation at the Mint In
Philadelphia.
On the I'd inst. all the dies numbering
between 800 and 900, used during the
year 1888 in the United States mint,
Philadelphia, were destroyed, under
the direction of Supt. Fox, IN the pres
ence of the chief coiner and assayer.
At 10 O'Clock the dies were all taken to
the blacksmith shop, where they We're
subjected to white heat, the temper
being taken out of the steel. Then each
die was placed upon an anvil and two stall
wart blacksmiths with sledge hammers
dealt powerful blows upon the face
thus completely destroying and obliter-
ating the inscription. The operation
required about two hours. When over,
a certificate was prepared, setting forth
that all the dies in use during the year
1888 had been destroyed in accordance
with the regulations of the department
at Washington, and that the work had
been witnessed by the officials whose
presence was required. It was not al
WAYS that the dies we've thus destroyed,
for it was not until ffreen years ago
that such regulation was insisted upon
by the authorities. After the destruc-
ton they become worthless, except as
old iron, and will be sold as such.

He Thinks They Should Not Be Permit

P;TTsBURG. Pa, Jan. 3.-Judge Cooley,
chairman of the interstate commerce
commission, was in the city to-day en-
route to Washington, In speaking of
the proposed amendment to the inter-
state law, to have one general classifca-
ton from ocean to ocean, Judge Cooley
said: The railroads are moving with
considerable rapidity in regard to CLASH
fcation. They sac that it is for the
interest of ali that the same system OF
classification should be enforced on the
different lines. So long as they show a
disposition to try and agree upon CLASH
hcations, Congress is not likely to make
it compulsory, but eventually may do
So"
When asked about the proposed
amendment of the law to permit pool
ing by the Trunk lines, Judge Cooley
said: II would rather not express my
views fully on that question at present,
as expect to speak in regard to it es-
pecially within few days. / will say,
however, that I do not think that
pooling proper should be per-
mitted. Pooling, from its very nature,
so long as railroads are independent, is
only a device, and somewhat i'm
perfect one, to keep peace. AS regards
trusts, [ think that they should not be
permitted except under strong legal
restraints

Gen. Boulanger in an address to the

of seeing me elected. My sword caused

they fear, but universal suffrage. whose
repeated judgments testify to the dis
gust which their incapacity, base in

Jects. When minister l was over
