man to remain single by imposing q special
tax ON bachelors.

What VIII Come of 1t?

WASHINGTON, D. c., January s.-The
British minister, Sir Julian Pauncefote,
said that he expected to call upon Secretary
Blaine regarding the Joiner case. He added
that this call would be for the purpose of
giving preliminary notice that, If the facts
bore out Mr.. Jolner's statement, damages
would be asked by the British government.
Sir Julian has telegraphed the representa-
tive of his country in North Carolina to go
to the scene of the outrage and make an
investigation. 1t IS very evident from the
minister's conversation that he believes the
statements of the Rev. Thomas NJ. Joiner
and his wife are in the main accurate. In
deed, the wounds and blood-stained gar
ments speak for themselves. The otfense of
Mr.. Joiner and his wife was preaching to
aud teaching the negroes at Oxford, in Gran
vile county, North Carolina. When they
had teen in their field of labor about a
month they found the following attached to
their front gate:
"We regard you action in coming among
US and assuming the role OF negro preacher
as highly detrimental to our society, mas
much as 1t forces practically upon US the
races. If you are white man, if you have

nounce you as an imposter and grOVeling

Tin Plate Industry, Etc.

WASHINGTON. d. c., January 3.-Mr. Clark
Fisher, of Trenton, n. j., next presented
before the louise ways and means commit
tee the reasons why the duty on anvils should
be increas d. OF the anvils used in the
United States about two-thirds were i'm
ported. He advocated an imposition of q
duty of 3 10 cents a pound upon anvils,
and he believed that it that was done they
could be sold cheaper to the consumer. as
it would enable manufacturers to increase
their output Forty years ago, when he
first went into business, there we're twenty
five anvil firms in the country. Now they
had become extinct with three exceptions.
To lower the duty would have the effect of
wiping out these three establishments.
Mr.. William {. Cronmyer, of Pittsburg.
Pa, described the unsuccessful efforts of
American manufacturers to produce tin
plates at a profit. In 1872 the firm with
which he was come, ted had started to
had been successful. At that time the price
of ordinary tin plate was $12 ton, but it
had fallen to 81, and his firm had been
obliged in 1886 to 60 out OF that line of
business. Then the price had again gone
up since the competition had been with
drawn.
In response to queries Mr.. Cronmyer said
that to manufacture a box of tin plate in
this country cost abont $3.50, while in Eng
land 1t could be produced at 1928 less, the
difference being attributed to the difference
IN the cost of labor. TIE duty proposed by
the senate bill, while not as high as 1t ought
TO be. had the merit of being protective If
the tin plate industry could be built up In
this country it would support number of
Eeople nearly equal to the population of
New York city.

The Great Strike.

EVANSVILLE, ND, January 3.-The situa-
ton on the Evansville d Terre Haute and
Evansville & Indianapolis roads, of the
Mackey system, remains practically un-
changed at this point. Nothing but gas
senger trains are moving. The yard here
is filed with freight, but no attempt is be-
ing made to move it. The strikers are
quiet but determined. The federal on of
tie brotherhoods of engineers, fremen and
conductors, sw:tchmen and brakesmen has
gone into effect. and unless a speedy settle
ment is reached there is a probability of all
these organizations taking part IN the strike.
1t is alleged by railroad men that the strike
is on a question of principle, several con-
ductors having been discharged because of
their refusal to sever their connection with
the Brotherhood of Railway Conductors and
because of their activity in a recent strike
on this system. This the company deny,
alleging that the discharge of the men in
question was for just cause. There seems no
probability of an adjustment of the diff

BIoodshed Nav Result

PUNxsUTAwNEY, Pa, January 6.-The
Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg company,
whose employees to the number of 1900
men and boys are now on a strike, were not
successful in their efforts to e ;ect the miners
from their houses, Sheriff Suffer, of this
county, refusing to act as promptly IN the
matter as the company desired. A day was
set by the company as the time for execut-
ing the writs of ejectment, which have al
ready been issued, but the sheriff has until
the February court to make his writs and
he can serve them at any time within the
intervening period that may suit his inclina-
Gons. Superintendent Haskell declares
that he will open the mines to-day at any
cost. He says that if he gives in to the
miners this time, the company might as
well close its works, as the men would be
more insolent and arrogate to themselves
the entire control of the works. The CON-
pany is at an expense of about 500 day
of maintaining its guard of 140 Pinker5on
men, and the officials say they will break
the strike if it costs the company 81 ,000, 900.

Persons.
Stout Trees Snapped Off Like Pine
Sticks-Many Narrow Escapes
From Death-Two Victims Still
Breathing When Dug Out.

SIERRA CRY, CAL, January IA snow
slide occurred here by which six women
and a boy were killed. two other people
probably fatally injured and several houses
and the Catholic church wrecked.
The slide began at the Sierra Buttes hume
and swept with terrific force down the
valley, carrying everything in Its path be-
fore it. Stout trees were snapped of at the
ground like pine sticks.
Several people had narrow escapes from
death, as the slide came without the slight
est warning. 1t IS believed that China-
man and little girl are still buried in the
mass of snow and debris.
AS soon as possible men began digging
out the unfortunates and IN few hours
had taken out the body of Mrs. Rich. her
two daughters and a son. Miss Ryan, of
DownieVille, and Mr.. l. I. Mooney, with
her daughter, Miss Ethel Lsngton. The
two last named were still breathing when
removed from the snow, but all efforts at
resuscitation proved unavailIng.
The search for others is still going on,
and it is feared that n re than are now
known may have been swept out of exist
ehce in the avalanche.

Pauners, School on Fire

LONDON, January 3.-The boys section of
the paupers' school IN the district of Forest
Gate, in connection with the White Chapel
and Poplar Unions took fire while the in
mates were asleep and was burned with
terrible results.
Twenty-six of the boys who were in the
upper stories were suffOcated before they
could be rescued. tifty-e eight her boys
we're safely taken from the burning build
ing amid terrible excitement. Two of the
matrons of the institution escaped in safety
by sliding down the water pipes. Several
of the boys escaped the same way.
The superintendent of the school repeat
eddy rushed through the flames and brought
out number of inmates. There were go
persons in the institution. The bodies of
those who were suffOcated were carried TO
the main hall of the building, which was
still profusely decorated with Christmas
greens.
The fire was caused by an overheqted
stove. The f male department, in which
were $50 girls, was not touched. The boys
retired In high spirits, having been prom
ised presents
The scenes in the main hall, where the
bodies of the dead lie, are narrowing. Re-
latIves and school-fellowS of those who per-
ished are loud in their lamentations.
Further reports OF the fire show that it
originated IN the clothing room beneath the
boys dogmitory. The smoke and flames
issuing IRON the stove fue alarmed those
sleeping on the top floor and they made
their escape.
The fire engines were promptly on the
spot. The employees of the adjacent rail-
way station rushed to the scene and rem
dered valuable assistance. The cries of the
boys who were unable to get out we're hor-
rible. The bodies of two boys were badly
burned, but it is believed that they were
sutfocated before they were burned. The
ages of the dead range from to L years.
