The date of CIark's execution has been fixed
for February %, but Taylors time has not yet
been set, his death warrant never having been
received from the Govern OF. However, it is
thought that Governor Be aver will shortly fix
a time for Taylor's hanging and that Clark's
license to live will be ex tended so as to expire
on the same day and the two men swing to-

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1srAroz.,


SCoTTDALE, February IA Mrs. M.
Newton, of Everson, giving birth to four
perfectly formed girls, is still the talk of the
town. When DR.. A. ]. Rogers made his
visits there to-day large number of ladies
braced him to let them go in also aud take
a view of the quadruplets, but he refused.
The history of the Newton family is inter-
esting. Mr.. and Mrs. Newton are of Irish
birth, both having been born in Cork, Ire
land, where they became acquainted and
were married. Shortly after their marriage
they emigrated to this country and located
at Everson. where Mr.. Newton got work in the
mines and has been there ever since. Mrs.
Eliza Newton is the mother of two boys. three
girls. more properly nine, with the quartet of
girls born yesterday morning.
She is about 5 feet 2 inches in stature, fair
complexion and is moderately educated
Mike Newton, who is an out-and-out Irish
man. is about feet inches in height, weighs
about $50 pounds and is only an ordinary look
ing man. His bair is inclined to be sandy. By
hard work he has secured for himself little
home in Everson, and unless something un-
foreseen takes place has now an opportunity to
makes large sums of money. 1t is understood
he has already received flatIering offers to
place the four girls on exhibition, If they live,
and there is now every prospect that they will,
and remain healthy.
Mrs. Newton herself is one of the twin
daughters of her mother, who lives in Ireland.
She never had more than one child at birth
before yesterday morning. DR.. A j. Rogers,
their physician, said after he made his visits
to-day that the mother and children were doing
well. and the inference drawn was that they
would surely live. He said they resembled
four peas, and you could not possibly tell them
apart as even the lines on their faces and the
hair on their heads are exactly alike. They are
very lively, and when they cry you think you
will meet with McGinty's fate. Rev. Lambing
christened them yesterday, and after they had
been named, Mrs. Newton herself could not
distinguish them by their names
DR.. Rogers will not admit anyone to see them
for 10 OF Il days yet. when it is expected the
danger line will be passed. The doctor is quite
confident of bringing them through all right.
Legislature will likely be petitioned to make
a provision for the Newton family

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l
PUNxsUTAwNEY,F February 14.-It looks as
though the strike at the mines of the Buffalo,
Rochester and Pittsburg Coal Company will
reach a crisis very soon. There will either be
a settlement very shortly or the contest will re-
solve itself into a stubborn siege involving the
Knights of Labor of the whole country. ]. B.
Roe, President of the United Miners Associa-
tion, said to-day that it looked as though the
Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg Coal Com
pany's object was to rid itself of the organiza-
tion, and if that was really their design it
would be suicidal to the knights to tamely sub
nit to defeat. The company has several hun
dred men at work at Walston and Adrian now
and Is adding to the force daily, but the ma
jority of the new men are not practical miners,
and it taxes experienced men for drivers in
these mines, and as all the old drivers are
holding out for agreement, the company Is
seriously hampered in that respect.
An effort is being made to get the Beechtree
miners to come out in support of their fellows
at this place. There are 400 men employed at
the Beechtree mines, and at their meeting last
night committee was appointed to wait on
the officials of the Buffalo, Rochester and
Pittsburg Company. The committee finished
their work in short order and reported that
General Manager Haskell had agreed to meet
tho miners committee, composed OF Messrs.
Roe, Wilson and @ uinlist, at the Opera House
this afternoon evening. The meeting is still
in progress with closed doors.

fourth. Coffee has been steady, with moder-
ate sales, but sugar q sixteenth lower, and

If no further supplies of money return from
the interior closer market will naturally
result before April 1. Exports of merehan-
disc for half of February have been fully up
to those of last year, but from this time some
excess OF imports over exports is probable.

NEW CASTLE, February 14.-Six hundred
acres of land situated at Hazel Dell. this
coun ty, II miles from here, has just been for
mally turned over to Merritt Green, a business
man and capitalist of Marshalltown, Iowa.
1t is understood that Mr.. Green has made the
purchase for Beaver Falls and Pittsburg capi-
talists. Quite a mystery surrounds the deal
Six or eight months ago Mr.. Green took an
option on the property, and on the lst Of
January of the current year he notified the
owners that he would accept it at their terms.
The farms purchased were the property of
Daniel, Alex. and Nathaniel Nye, Nathaniel
Pettitt, John Hazen and James Knox and cost
Mr. Green about $50, 900, or 500 per acre. 1t is
said that a two-foot vein of solid lead ore
underlies the territory
TO your correspondent Mr.. Green stated that
there will be railroad built through the prop
erty next summer. When asked directly what
he intended to do with the land he said that
600 acres of ground in one plot would make
good farm. 1t is alleged by outsiders that the
purchase is only an experiment. and that only
a portion of the money has been paid. 1t has,
however, been Stated authoritatively on the
other hand that one-third was paid down in
cold cash and the balance in bonds and mort
cages payable in two equal payments annu-
ally 1t is thought by some that large works
will be built and q town spring up.

Big Chicken Main and a Lively Dog Fight

Old times were somewhat brought back yes

wanted to see old-tirne sport providing he had

chick en- fights were numerous and birds were

including Wheeling. Steubenville and East
Liverpool The Pittsburgers held their own
and TO say anything more about chicken
main would simply be repeating an oft-told
story.
The event of the day was dog fight between
a dog from Brownstown, the Southside, and a
dog that few local men bought from the
gypsies some time ago Gypsy weighed "a
pounds, ana the Brownstown dog weighed 43
pounds. After 40 minutes fighting, the little
fellow was beaten. He was almost dead, but
he was game but his owners respected his
pluck and took him out of the ring. They we're
cheered for doing so. The battle was for 500
side, and the betting was lively from start to
finish.
Certainly there was nothing like any 500
investments in the contests such as the public

Boston.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.1
BOSTON, February l4-Ad Gumbert, one of
the best of Anson's colts. has accepted the
terms of the local Players League club, and
has agreed to sign as soon as his contract is
sent on from Boston. GumbeYt was wanted by
Pittsburg, it will be remem bered, but would
not sign a contract which was satisfactory to
the Pittsburg management, The chief thing
which he wanted was a guarantee that his divi-
sion of the prize money wb ich it is expected
Chicago will win, should be. guaranteed him by
Pittsburg.
Director Hart said this morning that the only
obstacle in the way of his signing with Boston
for 1890 was that the written consent of the
Pittsburg club must first be obtained, as Pitts
burg has been unable to sign him SO far, and
Captain Hanlon and ne have expressed their
views of each other very strongly In print, it is
hardly likely that the Pittsburg hackers will
make any objection to his coming here.
