Minneapolis; Mrs. T.. Il. Swazey of Boston
Mrs. Il. #. Lawrence of Berlin-with whom
he had lived for many years previous to
his death-and Mrs. N. A. Stewart of Barre.
In his younger days Mr.. Spear was a brick
moulder. After his marriage he lived in
Washington, Vt, for four years on a farm
he owned there. Returning to Berlin, he
had since resided in that town. His funeral
was observed April 3, at the house of his
son-in-law, Mr.. l.. p. Lawrence, Rev. j.
Edward Wright officiating Mr.. Spear
was rugged representative of the earlier
generation of men who have toled and
reared large families among the hills OF
Vermont. He found a quiet and peaceful
haven, and received affectionate care in the
family Of his daughter and son-in-law,
where his days were ended.
CoNvERsE.-Luther Converse died at his
home in Calais where he had resided since
early manhood. He had severe shock of
paralysis March 6. Lingering until March
Is, another shock caused his death. His age
was nearly sixty-four. A man of integrity
and worth, pleasant in his family tender
hearted and sympathetic toward those in
trouble, good citizen and neighbor, he will
be missed. He leaves childless an aged
widowed mother for whom he has tenderly
cared many years. Three sons and grand
daughter also mourn his loss. He married

his already stricken heart.

Thus it was that the old paper was finally
merged IN the new, transaction due 10 the
advice and skill OF Major Lewis Ginter, who
was then and had been for some months past
president Of TIE TIMRs Company. II is but
due 10 that gentleman to say that but for the
encouragement and backing, both moral and
material, which he steadily gave the paper
from its beginning (Mr. Joseph Bryan and
himself having been the founders and pro-
moters), it would many times have had grave
difficulty in pulling through the serious en-
barrassnents which it encountered in its diff

paper purposes in the United States which

existence has occupied several buildings in

too small for the accommodation of the rapidly
increasing Journal, and neccssitated a search
for larger. permanent and more suitable
quarters. With this idea of permanent home
in view Mr.. Bryan purchased last year the
large thres-story brick building at the corner
Of Tenth and Bank from the Richmond and

Immediately after the purchase the work of

SPLENDID MACHINE.


The new press OF TUE TIMES. which, after
months Of waiting and expectancy, has at last
been erected and is in operation, is a splendid
machine.

In fact, the great power and capacity Of this

BRICEVILLE'S MINE WAR
THE LEADERS OF TIE MEN TRY
ING TO PREVENT BLOODSHED.

The Militia Force Too Small to be Of
Service in Case the Miners Should
Make an Attack-The Governor
Aware of the Gravity OF the Stu
ton.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July 1.-THE situa-
ton at Coal Creek and Brceville remains
unchanged, except that it is more than ever
evident that convicts will not be allowed
to work in that mining district. Gov.
Buchanan passed through Knoxville to-
day en- route to Nashville. He was rather
reticent to reporters, tut in conversation
with prominent citizens did not deny the
gravity of the situation.
THE MILITIA PowERLEsS.
The little band of militia on guard at
Briceville would not be able to Withstand
the charge of 1000 miners, who are well
armed. The majority of the miners are
mountain men, accustomed from boy
hood to carrying arms and are
expert shots. Tomorrow is election
day at Coal Creek, and it is known
that e large supply of whisky and beer has
been shipped there from this city. It is
confidently expected that if no outbreak oc-
ours tomorrow or tomorrow night blood>
shed will be averted. The leaders of the
miners are O m, cool-hsaded men, and are
doing all possible to keep down trouble.
TRYING TO KEEP DOWN TROUBLE.
They said frankly to a Journal CORES
pondent to-day that they hoped to keep the
turbulent spirit quiet until the militia was
withdrawn, and then they would pro-
oeed by force to overpower
| the guard and liberate the con-
victs, who would be furnished
citizens clothing in order that they might
make their escape into Kentucky. Col
Sewer, who is in command of the state
guard, has been fred at several times, but
it is believed that this was being done TO In
timidate him.
| COMPANIES IN READINESS.
] A special from Nashville Tonight says
that five Memphis companies and one from
| Nashville are ready to leave for Bricevtlle
at an hours notice. This does not
amount to much, however, as none
Of them could reach the seat Of trouble in
time TO take part in the struggle. The
latest news from Bricevile is to the effect
| that no trouble Is expected tonight, but
Tomorrow is looked forward to with the
gravest apprehension and great anxiety.

The Church People D!spleased With
Eis Latest Order
WASHINGTON. July 17.-Commissioner of
Indian Affairs Morgan has cut the relations
between the Indian bureau and the bureau
Of Catholic Indian missions in two with a
sharp letter to Father Chappell, vice presi-
dent of the bureau. Hereafter Commits
sioner Morgan will make contracts with
Catholic Indian schools directly instead of
through the bureau. This action Of Com
missioner Morgan is condemned by Catho-
lies. who say that it is but part Of the
policy which he has avowed to get all Cath
olics out of the Indian school service
They represent Secretary Noble as being
very much embarrassed by the action
of the commissioner, and predict that
Commissioner Morgan will have to resign
when the administration wakes up to the
fact that it is impolitic to maintain what
they term the unjust discrimination against
Catholics established by the commissioners.
President Harrison, they say, will not be
able to gloss over this religious prescription
by personal courJesies to Cardinal Gibbons.
