THE WOLF AT THE DOOR,
Terrible Condition of the Miners Around
ShamOkin.

The situation among the idle miners of Sha-
mokin and vicinity is now assuming crisis
After being idle three months many Of them
are actually starving, with no shoes to wear
and hardly enough clothes to cover their
bodies, while whole families are without even
a fire to keep them warm.
As the LIST of April approaches they fully
realize that they must either vacate their pres
ent homes or pay their rent. These are only n
few OF the hardships to which the miners and
their families are now sub jected. During the
first few months OF ldieness the merchants of
the town gave their customers whatever they
wanted on credit, but as the number who asked
grew larger many OF the merchants became
bankrupt while others were obliged to refuse
their customers anything on credit. They then
applied to the poor directors for relief, but the
money obtained from that source is not sufti-
Client to keep them from starving.
Tales of suffering and hardship have been
pouring in until the sympathy of the people
was aroused. The women of the town held q
public meeting and appointed committees to
solicit aid, and established a relief station
Inc committee has done good work and the
citizens have responded literally. The scenes
at the relief stations are indescrbable
Women in tattered garments come many miles
and ask for shoes, stockings and other wearing
apparel, besides something to eat. Children in
their bare feet can be seen standing ON the out
side waiting for their turn to tell their story of
woe, and little girls can be seen every market
day going along the market place picking up
what vegetables may have fallen from the
farmers wagons.
The people of Shamokn have donated lib
orally, but the number OF applications for re-
lief is larger than the supply. Last night
there was not scrap OF food left in the sta
ton, and 1T now looks as if the relief commit
tee will be unable to feed all who apply for
food unless they get assistance from outside.

A MORMON MURDER TRIAL.
A Double Assassination Which Took
Place in 1853.

Last week Mormon murder trial was in
progress in Provo, Utah. George Washington
Hancock, a prominent Mormon. killed Henry
Jones. Young Jones lived with his mother in
PavsOn. In 1853 he and others became dissat-
isfied with the Mormon church and concluded
to leave the country. To do this they intended
to steal horses with which to get away.
Jones was regarded as the leader and on the
night set for the escape he was captured By
Hancock and his confederates few miles from
town. While bringing Jones back from Fay
son he was murdered and left in the middle of
the road. 1t was proven that Hancock had
charge Of the affair and according to testimony
of one eyewitness, he shot the dying man
while he lay on the ground
Mrs. Jones lived i'll dug out just beyond the
limits of Payson. Hancock, with four other
men, went to the hut on the night of the kill
ing. They demanded of her the whereabouts
OF her son. When she refused TO give the in
formation demanded, Hancock shot and killed
her. This scene was witnessed by Mrs. Jones'
tve-year-old daughter whose testimony was
given In the trial. 1t was after this deed that
the capture and murder Of Henry occurred.
The trial has been hard fought 1t revealed
the old methods of Mormonism in the early
days. The jury was out five hours and half,
returning verdict of guilty of murder in the
second degree.

which retains wonderfully lifelike appearance.
During the morning it seemed as though the
entire city endeavored to obtain a last look at
the face Of the dead general. The parlors and
halls were impossible when the Rev. DIR.
Mcpherson delivered the opening prayer. A
quartette from the Second Presbyterian church
choir sang at the close of the prayer and were
followed by DIR. Thomas, who spoke brief but
comforting remarks. Professor Swing then
read most eloquent tribute to the dead.
After the quartette had sung. DR.. Mcpherson
spoke eloquently and at length and again
offered prayer, DR.. Clinton Locke closing the
services with benediction. After Mrs.
Crook had taken last look at the
dead the casket was taken from the room. fol-
lowed by the members of the Loyal Legion,
while the choir sang REST for the Weary"
Mrs. Crook and Mrs. Reade were then driven
quietly to the Baltimore and Ohio depot
"hHe the funeral procession was passing the
streets were crowded the entire distance. The
following order was Observed: Battalion Of
police. ID battery artillery, Illinois national
guard. first regiment band and drum corps,

pail bearers and distinguished guests in car
riages, catafalque guarded by six non-com-
missioned officers, second regiment band, sec

sisted of nine cars, the one containing the
casket being in the rear of the mail car. The
special Pullman devoted to Mrs. Crook and the
escort was heavily draped in black, Topped
with narrow bands of white. Among the many
noted men present were exPresident r. b.

LETTER FROM MIR. CLEVELAND.
The Ex-President's Reply to a Mock
Nomination by College Students.

The students Of the Ohio state university
held democratic national mock convention
and nominated Hon. Grover Cleveland and
Gov. James E. Campbell for President and Vice
President respectively. The nominees wer e
informed through committee of the conven-
tons action. The following reply has been
received from Mr.. Cleveland:
Il received the dispatch signed by you and
others with pleasure as an evidence of friend
ship and kindness, which caused me gratifca-
ton, but know that you will not fail to under
stand me when Isay that am sure that there are
questions and topics which press upon the
minds of our people the solution and treat
ment of which are Of vastly greater Importance
than the political fortunes of any man. 1 do
hope that the students Of the university Of
Ohio will appreciate this fact and will see their
full measure of political duty in laboring to
enforce the doctrines of true democracy and
in retrieving the people from the decisions
which beset them to their undoing.'

was some time before he could find an opportu-
nifty to begin his short address. He said that
when the work OF organizing the bakers union
In this city was undertaken those people were
found to be in deplorable state, and it had
been q hard job to get anything like order out
Of the chaos that was the result of years of op-
preston. While in this position nothing could
be done, but now the bakers were men, fully
aware OF their rights. and determined to de-
mand and enfore them. They had managed
to obtain areduction in their working day from
fourteen to twelve hours and they were now in
position to ask for what they should have.
ten hours. The labor cause, he added, has
made such progress in the country, and has
been rewarded with such signal success every
where that it is not futile to hope that the pres
emit movement will be victorious one.
Mr.. George W. Spier, who is well-known as
the originator OF the eight-hour pin. a small
tin badge in the form of the figure 8, which
was to be seen on nearly every lapel in
the nan, made short, rousing speech
In favor Of short hours for the laborlng classes
and predicted victory for the cause.

THE RESOLUTIONS.
The committee on resolutions then reported
document which was adopted without oppo-
sitlon. 1t recited that whereas the journey
men bakers Of Washington have reduced their
hours OF toll from one hundred to seventy five
a week, secured an increase of wages and freed
themselves from shop tyranny, yet their work
OF twelve hours day and fifteen on Saturday
IS still excessive and too much for human en-
durance and far more than is the case in other
employments. and since a further reduction
can be granted to them without injury to their
employers or to the public it was resolved OH
the part Of labor organizations and the public
present at the meeting to give a cordial in
dorsement to tine movement of the Journey men
bakers in favor of reduction of the hours Of
labor from twelve to ten day and twelve on
Saturday. The meeting then adjourned at
about 1890.

High Water at Pittsburg.

The Monongahels river touched the highest
notch Of the present food at Pittsburg at 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon, when the marks
measured "a feet even. The Allegheny river
reached the same point short time later and
is still rising. River men, however, do not an
ticipate a much higher stage, as it has grown
quite cold, and the reports from the head
waters show the rivers to be stationary. So
far no serious damage has been done; most of
the boats along the wharf had steam UP today
and were ready in case of danger. A large
portion Of the lower part of Allegheny, the
south side and the west end, are partially SUBJ
merged. Traffic has been entirely suspended
on the Pittsburg and Western railroad, the
tracks being covered for distance of miles.
