From tho Farmers Voice.
A member Of the legls. are Of British

with having make the longest speech on
record. The conduct OF DeCosmos was
heroic. Certain settlers we're 10 be driven
from their homes. DeCosmos, who was
champloning the cause OF these unfortu-
nate people, had but few friends In tte
assembly. The bill had been detained
until near the close OF tho session. II
was to be passed upon before noon Of a
certain day, or the net Of CondsCatlOn
would fail. The scene 10 described in
the 50. Louis Republican 40 follows:
"The day before the expiration Of the
limitation, DeCosmos got the floor about
10 o'clock a. m. and began O speech
against the bill. Those In favor Of the
bill cared but little for what they sup
pOaed would be an hour or an hour and
a half speech from DeCosmos, thinking
that they would have no trouble In put
ting II on itB passage as soon as he was
through.
One, two, four and Eve o'clock came;
still DeCosmos talked as though he had
ages in which 10 finish his remarks. At
six O'Clock he produced q fearful bundle
OF evidence; then, for the first time, a
suspicion Of tho truth dawned upon the
majority-DeCosmos intended to speak
until noon Of the next day, the time for
adjournment, and thus kill the bill.
"They tried to shout him down with
their frequent and noisy Interruptions,
but soon saw that that only gave him
chance TO digress and make his talk less
laborlous AT midnight the members
slipped out to lunch, and returned only
to fall asleep In their seats; still DeCos.
mos went on. Day dawned over the
sleepy asaemblage with tired looks and
bloodshot eyes, still the settlers hero
kept the floor. Six hours more Of talk,
and noon, the hour for adjournment,
came 10 the baffled majority; a single
man had triumphed. His lips were
cracked and his chin ameaTed with blood
from the cracks; he totteTed and fell |
from sheer exhaustion, but the land was
saved. DeCOsmos had spoken twenty
six hours"

THE STRIKE DECLARED OFF
Indiana BlOck-Coal Miners 0utvote the
BituminOus Men at Terre Haute.
In Stormy Session of the Convention, with
No National Officers Present, Strikers De-
eide 10 Return to Work at Old Prices.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Dec. 24-The strik-
ing ooal-miners of Indiana have suffered
defeat The struggle for increased wages,
inaugurated nearly two months ago. has
failed and the men will return to work i'm
mediately. This course was decided upon
by o delegate convention held in this city
to-day. The meeting was called to order
in Grand Army Hall at 10 O'Clock by State
President Cummesky, no one of the
national officers being present. The chair
man announced that after grave oOnsid-
GRAFTON of the situation confronting the
strikers the officers had determined that it
would be unwise and disastrous to further
prolong the unequal strife, and he asked for
an ex preston from the representatives as to
what they thought of the matter. The
delegates from the bitnminous districts
were disposed to quarrel with the move
ment to retreat, but those from the block
coal field stated that their men had. in
various quarters. become so dissatisfied with
the little aid being extended by the organ
ization that they feared q serious break
would occur very shortly if they were not
authorized to return to work en- masse.
This settled the question. If the miners of
block-coal were determined to bolt in case
the strike were continued. there was no
alternative left but to declare it of.
Adjournment was taken at noon for din.
ner and to await the arrival of National
Vice president Penna The latter was not
on hand at 1:90 o'clock. aud the delegates
reconvened without him. A vote was
taken and it resulted favotably to return
ing to work. A committee was semitic con-
fer with j. Smith Talley. and ascertain II
the men would be allowed to resume at the
old figures. 10 cents per ton in the bitumi-
nous, and z5 cents in the block-coal fields.
Mr.. Tslley replied affirmatively, and the
committee submitted report to that effect.
The strike was then formally declared off.
The men will begin work immediately.

ADVANTAGES OF THE SEAPOST.
Twelve Hours Saved When Letters Are As
sorted on Board Atlantic Steamers

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-At 8 o'clock to-day
there was received at the postoffice by the
steamer Havel, from Bremen, 46S sacks of
mail matter, followed. at $40 A. NJ. by the
mails per the steamer Majestic. from
Queenstown, consisting of 1,1s4 sacks. The
advantage gained by the establishment of
the seaposts on the North German Lloyd
and Hamburg lines, in which the mails are
assorted en- route by German and American
clerks, Was conspIcuously demonstrated in
this case. as the letters brought by the
Havei, being received in packages, 1t was
possible to dispatch them promptly by the
morning trains, while those brought by the
Majestic were delayed until the afternoon
or evening, on account of the necessity for
asserting them in the New York postoffice.
For instance. letters for Chicago received
in open mail by the Majestic were not DIS
patched until 9 p. NJ, whereas those by the
Havel were dispatched at o A. NJ. and q
like gain was made in the case of those for
San Francisco. st. Louis and other points.
Eighty eight of the sacks brought by the
Majestic should have arrived by the steamer
Etruria. but in some way failed to reach
the vessel before her departure from
Queenstown.

PERI. Ind, Dec. 24.-One Of the most

Following this came the bridal supper,
which had been prepared and which was
eaten IN the presence of the attendine
spectators, who completely blocked the
streets and walks in front of the place of
business. Mr.. and Mrs. Manning evi-
IDENTIFY enjoyed the sensation which the
event created, and appeared fully at ease
throuRhout the matrimonial ordeal. The
wedding-clothes of the bride were fur

BELlED ITS APPEARANCE.
Nice Looking Turkey That Hsd Been Frozen
for Ten Years, But Wasn't Fit to Eat.

NEW YORK. Dec. 2a.-For many years ex-
periments have been going on in preserv-
ing various perishable food products by
freezing with the intention of determining G
how long they could be kept without losing
their flavor. A long test was made by the
firm of Knapp g. Van Nostrand. at No. 2l6
Washington street. A turkey was placed
in their refrigerator In December. 1881, by
Fletcher Chichester, and allowed to remain
there under seal frozen hard until a few
days age. 1t was then taken out and served
at a dinner given by Edward Bell. Present
at the dinner were Rev. Morgan Dix. Rev.
Halsey Knapp and others. The fowl when
brought on was perfect IN shape and ap-
pearance. and absolutely without taint,
but was tasteless. All the flavor of roasted
turkey was lost: the fat tissues had disap-
peared. and little but bone and fiber was
left. This experiment proved the Inferior
ity of frozen food and freezing as a preserv-
atlve agent beyond given length of
tine. probably not longer than two years.
While freezing is known to arrest decom-
position, it does not prevent evaporation
and disintegration of the tissues.
