senting the Countess, asked the witness to
give an instance of ''unaccustomed re-
straint." The Earl replied that one in
stance was his limiting his wife TO six cigar
cites day.
He was much ANNOYED, shortly after his
marriage, by learning that many of the
Countess debts were unpaid. Once a mil
liner came to the house and made trouble
The Countess came to witness and asked
him to get her out, adding, "She's scream-
ing in the hall and cannot get rid of her. |"
The Earl stated that he had never kept
his wife up in the night time making up his
accounts. Once the Countess told him with
an oath that she was sorry she had married
him. This closed the direct examination,
and Sir Charles Russell handed the witness
over to Sir Edward Clarke for cross-exam-
ination. The Ear's testimony had been so
spicy that the people in the courtroom an
ticipated much enjoyment from the ordeal
he was about to undergo
Among the first questions put to the
Earl was one which caused the audience to
prick up their ears. Sir Edward referred
to the Earls conduct before his marriage,
and in reply to it the Earl admitted that
before he married he was intimate with
servants, but he said he had told Lady
Mabel Scott, his fiancee, all the circum-
stances.
The EarPs College Scrape.
Sir Edward Clark went on new tack by
asking: "Were you sent down at Ok
ford?"
The Earl-I was
Sir Edward-What was the complaint
against you?
The Earl-That I had written an i'm
proper letter.
Sir Edward-To man or woman?
The Earl-To man, I suppose. never
saw the letter and never heard what was in
it.
Sir Edward-Do you mean to say you
were sent down on complaint Of which
you had no details?
The Earl never knew any of the de-
tails. My college was Balliol. 1 left
England for time and went to America
for seven months. supposed the circum-
stances connected with my leaving college
were known to my relations.
Sir Charles Russell then proceeded to ex-
anime the witness. Earl Russell stated that
DR.. Jewett was Master of Balliol College
while he was there. Having demanded,
but being refused an examination into the
charge made against him in connection with
the alleged improper letter, the witness had
taken his name off the books of the college.

quently mentioned in newspapers since the
disastrous coke region strike, have at last
eliminated in the dissatisfied cookers and
miners leaving their organization almost in
body, to join their new order, the Fede-
rated Brotherhood of Coke Workers of
America, with its leader and organizer, R.
d. Kerfoot.
Reports have been floating about the
region for some time that the operators are
contemplating a 10 per cent reduction in
the wages of the men. In fact, an attempt
of this kind was made few days ago at the
Stewart coke plant, near Uniontown, of the
Stewart Iron Company, but without effect,
the miners refusing a reduction. They
would have gone out on a strike had not the
demand been Immediately withdrawn.
The once famous organization, the United
Mine Workers, is now practically thing of
the past. Most all of its officers were re-
fused work and were compelled to leave the
region. Others were sent to the workhouse,
and what few are left have gone into busi-
Wise, is the only one who is making any
pretense of hanging on. His term of office
expired last October, and the forces could
not be rallied to hold new election.
A general conference was held here No
vember 3. No conclusion was arrived at,
but the idea and principle for new organ
ization was mapped out, which took shape
at subsequent meeting held Monday even
ing, and the foundation of the new Brother
hood, Purity Local No. 1, was then insti-
tuted. Other local assemblies will be Or
ganized during the holidays. The oper-
ators, who are closely watching the new
movement, declare there shall be no organ
ization in the region again, and threaten to
discharge the men by the wholesale where
found attempting to organize.

ing that he engaged and defeated the rebels
November q and %, killing their leader
and 600 men. The general commanding the

successful engagement with the rebels.
The senior British officer at Tren Teui,
has received an official message from Niu

been suppressed and the rebels dispersed.
A laconire dispatch from Chinese sources
announces that q number of the rebels have
been summarily beheaded.
1t is reported that band of rebels has
murdered Mongolian Prince. Some more
villages have been sacked and looted, and
all the native Christian residents have been
found massacred. The mandarins are not
attempting to stop the butchery, which is
being executed by an association called q
Temperance League" the object of which
is the determination of foreigners and
Christians. Sir John Walsham, British
Minister to China, in telegram to the
Foreign Office at London, confirms the re-
port of an outbreak of brigands, assisted by
a secret association west of Jehol and be-
yond the Great Wall. The Minister says:
Possibly the insurgents have also been
Joined by Chinese Mohammedans from Mon
golia. 1t is reported that two or three i'm.
portant towns have been captured and that
hundreds of natives have been massacred.
There is no reason to believe that any Euro
peans have been killed. The 5000 picked
troops which the Government has de-
spatched to the scene ought to be able to
QuelI the rising. No credit should be given
to sensational stories. There is one British
gunboat at Tie1 Tien, and another has as
cended the Yang-tse-Kiang to Ichang. This

The Turtle Creek Road Trying to Head On
Its Young Rival.
BRADDoCK, Dec. 3.-[Specidl There
was lively little rumpus here to-day over
the street railway matter Ever since the
Braddock Electric Street Railway Com
pany has been granted the right of way
there has been contention. Their rival
is the Braddock and Turtle Greek Company.
About six months ago there was midnight
riot between the two companies for the
right of way on Braddock avenue, in which
the Town Council took hand. The Brad
dock and Turtle Creek people went before
Judge Magee with plan to build long
curve at the head of Eighth street,
and reach Burton by laying line on
Braddock avenue, south of the tracks of the
rival company.
Judge Magee granted the order, but
when the work was started it was
stopped by the Street Committee. They
made another effort this morning to make
the connections, but the Street Committee
were on the scene with an order for them
to cease operations The order was not
obeyed, and the entire police force was
summoned on the ground to compel the
men at work to desist. The men kept on at
work. The result was that James Townsend
and Samuel Stewart were placed under
arrest Burgess Russell is a large stock
holder in the Braddock and Turtle Creek
line, and money and securities were offered
for bail, but it was refused. The two men
were in Jail all day and were only released
by an order from court.

THE DISCOMFORT OF THE PASSENGERS.

THE DISCOMFORT OF THE PASSENGERS
A number OF cabin passengers were forced
to abandon their cabins in consequence of
the fire, and had not changed their clothes
for the last four DAYS Many were COM
pelled to get what sleep they could reclining
in steamer chairs. The origin Of the fire is
supposed to have been spontaneous combus-
tion. The Kendall Theatrical Company and
Actor dAcre were landed at Queenstown.
The passengers were unanimous in praising
the conduct OF the car tain, officers and
men OF the City of Richmond. AS mark
of their appreciation OF the services OF the
captain aud crew a memorial was presented
to the commander OF the vessel, while a
collection Of e70 was taken up for the bene-
fit OF the crew.
The scene on the deck after the discovery
OF the Gro was remarkable. Many
groups or women were praying
fervently and CRYING, but no unusual
excitement prevailed. A passenger says;
ut was a fearful night. The wind was
screeching through the riggings and the sea
was washing over the decks. There was
little hope OF safety in case it should become
necessary to take to the boats. The suspense
was terrible. but all bore up splendidly,
owing 60 the encouraging words Of the cap
steerage passengers were comfortably In
stalled in the saloon, away from the smoke
and fumes coming from the burning
cotton
OIL NEAR THE FIRE,
There were l40 barrels Of oil slowed close
to the burning cotton. Luckily the flames
did not communicate to the OIL 1t 10 be-
lieved by many that the cotton had been
smoldering since the steamer left New
York. Further alarm was caused among
the City of Richmond's passengers by a

fever.
