The Chicago Carpenters Strike.

CHICAGO April 29.-To day was compare
lively uneventful in the carpenters strike and
tonight the headquarters of the journeymen
are more deserted than at any time since the
movement was inaugurated. This is due to the
fact Oh "a determination 10 make a settlement
with the Boss Carpenters and Builders asso-
citation which made the RENTING of the meas
ures OF the last three weeks unnecessary. The
initial step towards declaring the strike
off has been taken and many mem
bers of the new association think work
will be resumed Friday. The old Master
Carpenters association will be boycotted,
but they are not losing much sleep over the
prospect. The journeymen and bosses arbitra-
ton committees had a lengthy conference this
afternoon, and arranged for a meeting to-mor-
row to consider details. A committee from the
Old Masters association called on the mayor
this afternoon to ask for adequate police pro-
lection for the non union men with whom they
propose TO resume work next week. They were
promised all the protection possible Their
petition recited acts of violence On the part of
The strikers. etc. Later in the day committee
OF strikers called on the mayor and protested
against the charges in the communication.

DENVER'S MAYOR.
The Fight Over the Mayoralty Takes New
and Unexpected Turn.

DENVER. April 29,-[Special telegram to THE
HERALD. IA new turn was taken to-day in the
contested mayoralty case by the withdrawal of
the motion in the supreme court for a superse-
IDEAS. This was originally made because the
treasurer's bondsmen objected to his paying
warrants signed by the mayor after the judg-
ment of custer A change in the treasurer's
bondsmen has been made, and the new men are
satisfied to wait the pending appeal to the su-
preme court. City Treasurer Place now asks
that payment be demanded on a city warrant
which he will refuse to honor, and then man.
damus will issue to enforce payment. The
main point is TO have the mayor direct the city
officials and thus prevent further complications
The greater portion of them in the alleged con-
spiracy case are being consumed by the law
yers. who seem inclined to argue points and
10th to admit witnesses. The case promises to
be very tedious and fruitful of personalities.
Clear skies have had the effect to more than
double realty transactions and the market has
resumed its former steady tone.

get 500. and mileage is not taken into con-

A Republican Caucus,

WASHINGTON, April 29.-The Republican
caucus tonight considered the McComas bill,
commonly known as the nti-gerrymandering
bill, and the Morrill, service pension bill. Nc
Comas explained his bill and referred to the
action OF the Maryland and Ohio legislatures as
indicative of the need for immediate action on
the subject
Lodge, of Massachusetts, endorsed McCom as
views. Kennedy, of Ohio, and Frank, of
Missouri opposed the bill. The latter said it
was retroactive and would be invidious and I'M
popular transferring to the national Congress
the odious species OF gerrymandering which
now and then states resort to without efecting
any purpose. The debate continued fully two
hours and the matter finally went over. There
was a long discussion on the Morrill, bill which
was finally amended by proposition which
fixed the limitation at sixty years.

The Celebrated Kemmler Case.

AUBURN, n. Y, April 29.-The announcement
this afternoon that Judge Wallace, of the
United States circuit court, had issued writ
of habeas corpus in the case of the condemned
murderer, William Kemmler, returnable June
IL, was great surprise here. For many days
the townspeople have been on the verge of ex-
pectancy awaiting an execution by electricity
for the first time. There have also
been in town innumerable newspaper men.
This afternoon at the dinner table they re-
ceived the first intimation, when Attorney
Quimby, of Buffalo, said there wouldn't be any
execution and he was going home. The re-
porters FASTENED to the prison and after short
time Warden Durston told them the news.
Then there was a rush of reporters to and from
the telegraph offices, three blocks away At

people poured out of their houses and
stores and soon there was long string
of men and children running up the street.

The Healthful Fast.

Weeks before the appearance of more
alarming symptoms dyspepsia for instance
announces its approach by an unmistak-
able want of appetite. That demand for
a temporary suspension of the aliment-
ary process asserts itself on various occa-
sions, but never without due cause. In
the crisis of certain diseases it means
that the organism needs all its available
strength for process of reconstruction,
as a general would recall his foraging
parties on the eve of decisive battle.
In sultry weather it means that one of
the functions of alimentation, viz, the
development of heat, has already been
overdone by other agencies. During the
enforced indoor life of rainy seasons it
means that for want of exercise the di-
gestive organs have become clogged as
mill with grist and cannot take any more
contracts until the arrears Of former en-
gagements have been settled. One fast
day would generally suffice to set mat
ters Alright, and it is good plan to de-
vote such days to occupations that will
help to divert the mind from the sug
gestions of the meal hour. At night ia
tigue will negotiate another eight hours
respite, and the next morning the stom-
ach as we'll as its owner will be ready for
breakfast. The ancient lawgivers who
went so far as to make periodical fast

we're about. ut.-Amsrieap RMal Home.

years ago.

Some of the best-armcred warriors
that have been met with by later travellers
were found by Captain Charles Wilkes,
U. S. N, in the Eingsmill Islands in the
South Pacific. They wore a heavy cuirass
of cocoanut, woven over bamboo frame
work resembling barrel chair. Besides
this they inclosed their limbs in cocoa
nut network like chain armor. The kel-
met was of the skin of the sea hedgehog.
The suit is admirably fitted to tear out
the Jagged sharks teeth set into the
edges of the murderous wooden swords
and spears of these islands. The Kings.
mill natives acted on the belief that
their mail was impregnable until Cap
tain Wilkes thought it advisable to hang
a suit in the rigging and riddle it with
bullets.
japanese differs from European armor
by not being closely fitting. 1t seems to
be rather low in the scale, as it is com.
posed of overlapping; plates, a method
that is frequently followed in the begin
ming of the making of armor.

lee so, 600 Years Old.

The altitude of the Stevens mine on
Mount Mcclellan, CAL, is $500 feet. Al
the depth of from sixty to 200 feet the
crevice matter, consisting of silica,
calcite and ore, together with the sur
rounding wall rock, is solid frozen
mass. Mcclellan is one Of the highest
eastern spurs of the snowy range. II
has the form of horseshoe, with bold
escarpment of feldsparic rock nearly
1000 feet high, which in some places is
nearly perpendicular.
In decending into the mine nothing
unusual occurs until depth of eighty or
ninety feet is reached, when the frozen
territory begins and continues for over
1000 feet. There are no indications of a
thaw summer or winter.
The whole of the 1000 feet Of frozen
walls is surrounded by massive rocks.
The miners, being unable to excavate
the frozen material with pick and drill
in the usual way, found that the only
way to mine in this peculiar lode was to
kindle huge fire against the "face" of
the tunnel, and in the morning take out
the ore that had been thawed loose dur
ing the night.
In fact, this was the only mode o.
mining used when going through the
frozen belt some ten or fifteen years
since. The tunnel is now many hun
dred feet deep, and still there is no
diminution of the frost. There is, far
as can be seen, no opening or channel
through which the frost could possibly
have reached such depth from the sur
face. Besides this, there arc many other
mines in the same vicinity in like frozen
state
The theory is that the rock was de-
posted in glacial times, when there was
cold enough to freeze the very earth's
heart. In that case the mine is an ice
house, whose stores nave remained un-
thawed for at least 500 years.
The phenomenon is not uncommon or
inexplicable when openings can be found
through which current of air can pass,
but cases which, like the Stevens mine,
show no opening for air currents must be
referred to imbedded icebcrgs of the
glacial period. (N. ~ Times.
