THE MINES EXHAUSTED,
Two Famous Iron Mines in Missouri Run
Quito BE Foreclosed.


ST. Louis, Mo-, April 4.-The Farm
ers' Loan and Trust company, of New
York, is about to protect bondhoders BY
foreclosing mortgages to the amount of
s., 600, 900 on the property of the st.
Louis Ore and Steel company. These
are per cent. bonds S1,OOO.OOO on the
Pilot Knob mine. 81, OO0,O in the Vul-
can Iron works and 100000 in the coal
mines at Grand Tour and Carbondale,
Ill. Interest on these has been de-
1anltca since July. 1890, when Z. A.
Hitchcock was appointed receiver. The
failure was directly due to the exhaust
ing OF the orc body, the diamond drill
alter penetrating to IL depth of 500 feet
failing to reveal any iron ores that could
be probably worked. Pilot Knob and
Iron Mountain are two of the most
famous mines in the world, and the
supply OF iron was once supposed to be
inexhaustible. The Pilot Knob mine
first began yielding in 1916, and in 1884.
at It's zenith, it yielded 100000 tons. In
1886 the vein gave out.

GALENA, ILL.,, April 4.-Dr. r. A.
Kitto, the Racine surgeon who recently
acquired widespread celebrity by per-
forming an operation which restored the
reason of a young lady Of that city, was
in Galena day. He was accompanied
by an assistant. DR.. j. S. Keech, and
they were on their way to Elizabeth to
perform a similar operation on the
daughter of Mr.. Wishon, the millionaire
miner of that village. The young lady
is possessed of rare beauty, as we'll as
talent and culture, but her mind was
overthrown some years ago and her case
has been deemed hopeless. DR.. Kitto
drove to Elizabeth, reaching there about
1 o'clock, and within an hour the opera
tion was begun. He states that the
chances are ten to one that the young
lady will survive the shock, and he is
confident that the operation will have
the result of restoring her reason.

Another Boat Ready for Service.

New LONDON, Conn, April 4.-The
Bennington has made successful trial
and, while it is impossible at once to
predict what was the amount of horse
power developed, there is cause for sat
isfaction in a comparison of the data
with the previous performances of the
same vessel and also with that of it's Sis
ter ship, the Concord. Only the official
calculations by the government experts,
which cannot be completed in less than
ten days, can determine the exact result.
Any estimate that it is possible to make
at present might err on either side of the
coveted 3,40O horsepower; but 1t can be
accepted as fact that the final result
will be very close to that figure.

LOCATED IN MONTREAL.
Another New York Man Now Member of
the American Colony of Canada.

MONTREAL, April 4.-On March 20,
1890, the big dry goods commission house
of John T. Plummer s. Co., of New
York, failed. The failure caused big
sensation in New York. On March 81,
the assignees in their work of straighten-
ing out the firms affairs, needed the as
Sistance Of M. II. Darling, one of the
members OF the firm, and who for twenty
years had charge of the firms money af-
fairs. He was sent for, but inquiry at
his house elected the information that
he had left the city without even telling
his family where he was going to-
Finally the safe was opened and an ex-
animation of the books disclosed the fact
that Darling was a defaulter to the
amount var;ously estimated at the time
as from $4,000 to 100000 The search
of the detectives continued for some
time, but finally these were abandoned
and Darling was almost completely
forgotten.
Last week a former acquaintance of
Darling was in Montreal, and visiting
the Windsor hotel, thought he saw Dar-
ling there, but a look over the register
failed to find the name, and the visitor
went back to New York and told of his
strange mistake. Detectives did not
think it so much of a mistake, however,
and yesterday learned that it was OAR
ling who had cut off his whiskcrs and
taken the name of VIM. D. Hilton, I'M
der which he was living at the Windsor.
He was interviewed by a reporter. He
at first denied his identity, but later ad-
mitted, and told of his travels. He had
gone directly to Europe two days after
the failure, where he had gone from one
city to the other until October last, when
he came to Canada, putting up at the
Windsor, where he has been all winter.
He lived a quiet life, seldom going out,
and making no acquaintance. He re-
fused point blank to talk about the
affairs of the late firm or to explain how
the deficiency in the funds occurred.
He said he was not afraid of arrest and
would say nothing until he was COM
PEELED to. He had been in communica-
tion with his family for some time and
gave it to be understood that he was
effecting a compromise with the FIRMS
creditors and that if any legal meas
ures were taken against him they would
not get cent. Detectives are keeping
him in sight, however.

PEACE ABlDETH.
Tho italian War Cload Appears to De
Fading Into Thin Air.

WASHINGTON, April At was said
last night that the president and his adj
visers are much gratified over the re-
ceipt of the latest message from Premier
di Rudini, which was the subject OF con-
sideration at the cabinet meeting yes
terday. They were inclined to think it
indicates an early settlement OF the
diplomatic war. The mllder tone as
sumed by Di Rudini in the message to
Marquis Imperiali is, it is considered
here, due to the ella statement of our
governments position by Secretary Blaine,
supplemented by the able representation
of the case at Rome by MIR.
Porter, United States minister.
1t is reported that at the cab
met meeting letter was read
from either Baron Fava or Marquis I'm
periali intimating that the recall of the
minister was really but leave of alb
sence. Baron Fava is still i'll at his resi-
dence.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Baron Fava,
though somewhat better, is still weak
and confined to his room. 1t is impossi-
BILE to tell now how long he will be de-

review of the Norwood riot scarcely
bcttcrs the situation. The attack was
well planned, headed by men determined
evidently to intimidate the men working
there once for all. At IL o'clock small
bodies of strikers began to gather on
the hills. They were armed with re-
volvers, stones, iron bars and every con-
ceivable weapon, and headed by drum
corps. The strikers instantly killed
were: Creszo Bincro, Italian; John Flu.
dora, and Antonio Rist. Huns; Jacob
Shuckasky and James Brochtc, Poles:Val-
entine Zcidel and Paul Dohannis, Slavs
The firing on both sides continued hardly
three minutes. The vollcys from the
gaurds had a terrible effect OH the
compact mass of strikers. while the lat
ter made an attempt to return the fire
with what weapons they had, but with
out effect The dead were left lying in
the road, while the wounded, estimated
at between forty and fifty, were either
assisted or bodily carried away into the
