Coke Operators Putting Up More Ovens
The Scale Shortly TO be Considered.
Mr.. Patrick Sheehan, Of Scottdale, was in
the city yesterday, taking advantage of the
holiday to renew acquaintance with old
friends. Mr.. Sheehan is as strongly Demo-
cratic as of yore, as rumof credits him with
being as financially we'll fixed as his political
leanings are strong. He says that new
ovens are being run up in the Connellsville
region at every opportunity, and that the
region is only in the infancy of its pros
perity.
The Mcclure Company is taking advan-
tage of the oUen season to put up 100 ovens
at Lamont and it will erect another 400 in
the early spring. Sixty ovens are being
built at Msyfeld. and the Southwest Penn
Company has just completed 20 at Red Top.
The Mcclure Company has placed orders for
600 new cars, and w. j. Rainey is contem-
plating putting up additional ovens.
Mr.. Sheehan, though aware OF the condi-
tions of the cokers new scale would not say
what it included. The 9th Of January, he
thought, was the date fixed for conference
between the operators and workers, and he
expected an amicable arrangement
Master Workman John Rae OF n. D. A,
135 recently said that the rate of wages
would be based on not less price than
81 35 and that provision would be made for
increased wages in proportion to increased
values of the product.

He asked the Athletic people to lay him of

In October Coleman weighed but lbs pounds
and his future looked very dark indeed. hut-
careful nursing brought him about, and for the
past two months he has been gaining flesh ran
idly, until now he weighs lSS pounds and saws
be never felt better in his life. He is taking
daily exercise, using dumbbells and Indian

salary to S., 600.

THEY DIE LIKE SHEEP.
All the Young Indians Return from Schools
and Cultivation Only to DrOOp in
Outdoor Life-What the Big
Chiefa Waut.


WASHINGTON, January 1.-The Sioux
chiefs had a rather turbulent interview with
the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, it
seems, over the subject of Indian schools.
Mr.. Irvine Miller. Secretary of the Sioux
Commission, when questioned about the
subject, said
SIT is natural that the Indians should be
dissatisfied with the schools at Hampton
and Carlisle In the first place. from 80 to
70 per cent of the pupils at Carlisle and
Hampton die within four years Of their re-
turn home; die like sheep with the mur-
rain, principally from pulmonary COM
plants. This is due either to the effect of
the Eastern climate, or to the enervating in
huence of closed houses after an outdoor
life. 1t may be that going back to the hills
and the rude tepees of their parents after
their brief enjoyment of civilization is the
cause of this great mortality; but the death
rate is fearful, and the Indians object to the
Eastern schools.
"Another objection is urged, that the time
spent in the East teaches the young Indians
to despise their kinsmen; to lose the natural
gratitude and affection due their parents,
whom they find, on their return, living in
ignorance, squalor and wretchedness, and
their education makes gap which cannot
be bridged, while, if the schools were at the
agercy, the children would daily take home
some evidence of civilization, and better
mode of living, and lift their parents to
higher level"
One old Indian expressed himself very
POLITICALLY to the Indian Commissioner when
speaking of the logs which are frequent at
Hampton. ''The breath of the earth. said
he, ''rises up and poisons our children"
The Sioux Commission favors the agency
school plan, and seems to have the weight
of argument

CANTON, January Paul Young, aged
20 years, the son Of Colonel j. J. Young,
President Of the Bolton Steel Company, Of
this city, but formerly of Pittsburg, and
still connected with the A. French Steel
Works there, committed suicide here last
night by shooting himself through the right
temple with revolver. Not arising at the
usual hour, the family with whom he was
stopping went to arouse him, aud
getting no response opened the door and
found him lying on the floor in front of the
window, dead, with the revolver by his
side. He had been suffering with the infu-
enza during the past few days, and, the doc
tor thinks, did it while temporarily insane
from brooding over his sickness.
It is not known what time the shooting
occurred, as the report of the pistol was not
heard. He retired about 10 o'clock, and
seemed in usual good spirits. His father
and mother were both in Pittsburg spend
ing the holidays, and have been notified of
his death. The deceased was one of the best
known and most popular young men here,
and general sorrow is felt over the sad event.

EAST LIVERPOOL, January 1-Hints
have recently been made of the fabulous
wealth that certain Wellsville and East
Liverpool gentlemen had made in Mexi-
can mine, but the story and the names of the
interested parties have never been told.
Last summer Alex Smith, Wellsville man,
who had been in Mexico developing q
mining claim for Pittsburg parties, returned
and attempted to sell his property to negotiate
loan to develop new mine which he had
discovered.
Hon. Thomas A. Silver, member of the
Ohio State SenaEe became interested, and
with William Monaghan, now Consul at
Hamilton, Ont, W. L. Smith, the whole
sale lumber dealer, John N. Taylor, of
Knowles & Taylor. and Hon. james G..
Blaine, formed a company Silver and
Smith, the discoverer of the mine, each took
S12, 900 stock, and the others $5 900 each.
Machinery was sent to the mines and
two of them, the California and Recon-
penza, are now assaying $2l per ton of ore.
Messrs. Smith and Monaghan were sent out
and finding everything as represented, bought
the mines and land in fee simple. The
deeds arc all made, the titles have been ex-
amined by the Mexican Minister, and all
gentlemen interested, except Mr.. Blaine,
will start the last of this month to visit the
mines, which are in the State of Durango,
and village of Elloria, 90 miles from the
nearest railroad station. The party will
make the trip in carriages from the railroad
to the mines under a special escort OF SOL
diers, kindly proffered by President Diaz, of
the Mexican Government.
Should Mr.. Blaine make one of the party,
President Diaz will likely himself ac-
company them to the mines. 1t is said that
Mr.. Smith, the manager of the mines, al
ready has $40, 900 in solid gold bricks wait
ing to present to the owners when they
arrive.

Captains and Sailors Moving to Secure
Much.Needed Reform.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHi
NEW YORK, January 1.-If there is any
custom among seafaring men that is entitled
to the trite term ''time-honored," it is the
custom of standing watch and watch. In
every ship, officers and seamen are divided
into two equal parts, one of which is called
he starboard watch and the other the port.
While one watch works the ship the other
eats and sleeps. Beginning at 8 o'clock at
night, the day is divided into seven periods
of time, called watches also. The watches
are four, four hours long, until in the
afternoon, when the remaining four hours
of the day are divided into two watches of
two hours each, called dog watches.
theoretically sailors have IL hours work
and II hours sleep, but even where the men
are not worked over u hours q day it is
found that breaking up the rest and sleep of
the men, has. under certain circumstances,
a serious effect on them. There is a general
movement among the managers OF, the lines
to change the hours OF duty of the officers of
all the ships. In two lines at least the Off
GERS already have such hours as insure that
they will come on the bridge bright and alert
to avoid danger. A meeting of those inter
ested in the matter was held down town, and
a committee of ship captains was appointed
to consider the matter, and, if possible, in
stitute a reform on all lines
