RING, CHRISTMAS RELlsl

Within the broad eternal sky
The East star waits to glorify
Each timid, sunlit, rosy ray
That ushers in the coming day.
While Night in tenderness yet dwells
Anear the dawn, ring soft, ye bells
And siow-ye welcoming Christmas beilsl
Glow yet afar, thou heavenly gem
And holy star Of Bethlehem:
Celestial hosts have brought the morn,
And unto us is Jesus bornl
Emmanuel, his name xeels
All else of peace! ring loud, ye bells
And long-ye joyful Christmas bellsi
With fuller light DER Towering lands
And polar seas and desert sands
The sun persuades its g~entlest glow,
That SO each soul the day may knowl
From IONS to M the story swells
In flight of songi clang on. We bells
Aud peal triumphant, Christmas bellsl
At humble doors and stately gates
With patient grace the Christmas waits
Let each home blossom. JOY returns.
Wreathe holly where the hearth fire burns;
In lowly guise the day foreteils
It's feast and cheer! Swingswift, yebells-
Ye glad. exultant Christmas belisl
For joyless hearts that ache and mourn.
For lives with burthens oyerborne,
For wanderers gone sad astray,
And all who fall beside the way
AT stroke of sorrows beautiful knells,
May some peace be. Ring on. kind bells
Ye gently singing Christmas bellsl
Let all rejoice in carolings
That s~anctify each one who sings:
Ring out the tidings far and wide
Ye tempted bells-the Christmastide
Hath come again. the Christ child dwens
In every heart! Chime on, We bells
In prayers and praise, re Christmas bells.

A Heavy Fire in Chattanooga.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April 29.-There
was terrible conhagration here this
morning. The loss is fully quarter of
a million dollars; the insurance $150,00O.
The fire commenced at 3 a. NJ, in Camp
bell & Co.'S furniture factory on King
street, and soon got beyond control of
the fire department and rapidly took in
everything in the near neighborhood. It
was a. m. before the flames were under
control and the field of destruction COW
cred twenty acres. Those burned out
were: Campbell Il Co., furniture factory
G. g. Lilly, new and unoccupied two
story brick; Peaks warehouse; East
Tennessee, Virginia Il Georgia Railroad
company, freight depot with contents
and IS freight cars. BY a heroic effort
the new Mountain City FIGURING mill,
just completed at cost of nearly $780,
600, was saved. Others suffered less se-
riously. The fire ragged furiously for
four hours. Several carloads of COM
bustibles were burned, among others a
carload of fireworks, creating great
panic in the crowd.

Up to Date the Coke Strike Has Cost
About Three aud Half Millions.
SCoTTpALE, Pa. April 29.-The affairs
in the coke region were very quiet to-
day. The Keyster plant came to the
cokers terms, making the fourth in the
district, and the men seem more conf
dent. The operators report increased
forces, and men are arriving on every
train, the Frick company having turned
a carload through here tonight, bound
for Kyle. The cost of the coke strike up
to this, the twelfth week, is estimatsd at
about three and one-hnlf million dollars.
The business community has also felt
the evil effects keenly and has lost thou
sands of dollars. 1t has been estimated
that the men have lost over million
dollars in wages, and the operators SUI
fered other losses. 1t is also said that
coke yesterday sold as high as SO per
ton. Sheriff Mccormick has decided to
make several evictions at the Frick
plants tomorrow, and that simply means
that the trouble will be renewed.

Mrs. Sadie X. Warner Refused a Divorce
by Judge Bril-.
ST. PAUL, April 29.-Mrs. Sadie X.
Warner does not get divorce from her
husband, Lucien n. Warner. Judge
Brill has so decided and fled his deci-
sion to-day. In the decision, the court
finds the facts of the marriage, separa-
tion and voluntary dismissal of her for
mer suit, brought on the same grounds,
as true. Such charges of cruelty as are
found true occurred before the contract
entered into in October, 1883, was signed
The court says the plaintiff then and
there condoned the acts of violence Of the
defendant, and they cohabited as hus-
band and wife until before tho COM
mencement of the action. The evidence
does not satisfy the court that the de-
fendant inflicted any violence upon the
plaintiff, or was guilty of any cruelty to-
ward her, subsequent to the agreement.
The issues raised by the pleadings as to
the amount of the defendants property
have not been litigated. Except as
above, the allegations have not been es-
tablished, and as conclusion, it is de-
termined that the plaintiff is not entitled
to divorce

A Man Prosecuted in Strange Man
ner by Incendiaries and
Burglars.
Eleven Unsuccessful Attempts Made
in One Day to Burn His
Office.
Three Attempts at Burglary and
Eleven Attempts at Arson in
Three Weeks.
Strange Persecution.

SCRANTON, Pa, April On. H. Shafer,
an insurance agent of this city, whose
office is in the Odd Fellows building on
Wyoming Avenue, is evidently the object
of vindictive haterd of some person or
persons. Not fewer than eighteen at
tempts have been made in the last three
weeks to set fire to his office. These in
cendiary efforts were preceded by three
attempts at burglary. The first of these
resulted in the loss of only about $50 to
Shcfer. The safe was opened by COM
bination lock in the same way as in the
case of the most remarkable series of rob-
berries that have recently occurred in this
city. A short time after the burglars had
visited the tfice incendiaries made their
appearance, and their operations have
been SO mysterious as to set the town
talking. Eleven times in one day fire
was discovered in Skaters office, end had
not strict watch been kept and buckets
of water kept ready for use, the building
would have been destroyed. The fire
started up mysteriously among Skaters
papers. even while the office boy and
himself we're the only occupants of the
room. Both were at a loss to account
for the curious phenomenon. At inter-
walls of about an hour throughout the
day flames would leap up as if kiniled
by magic. A watch was then set upon
the office night and day, but the stra, ge
occurrence still tormented the place.
The keyho]e was found blocked few
times with wire, and the windows were
fastened as if to mock all the precautions
taken. On the 17th five fires were start
ed and extinguished. and Saturday even
ing at about six o'clock, another fire was
found. The flames this time came from
three coats that hung on a rack in the
rear of the room. The fire was extin-
guished before any serious damage
was done. The mystery of this
is not yet solved, and the whole affair is
made more puzzing from the fact that
Janitor Hitler, who was arrested last
Monday on suspicion of having some-
thing to do with the fires, has not been
in the building since, except for few
minutes on Friday, to deliver up his
keys. He was not then in Shafer's
office. Chemists have investigated the
matter and have come to the conclusion
that the fires have been caused by some
fluid composition, the name Of which
they have not name public, which
had been sprinkled on the different OBJ
jects in the room. Janitor Hitler wes
given a hearing before Judge Archibald
this morning. There was no evidence
indicating his guilt, and accordingly he
was discharged

Regarding Land Entries.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-Secretary
Noble to-day communicated to Commits
sioner Carter his views as to the proper
construction to be placed upon the pro-
viso in section seven of an act, enti-
tied ian act to repeal the timber culture
laws and for other purposes" approved
March Sd, 1891. This opinion is of great
importance to the public land states, ,inas-
much as it determines the question as
to what point of time the words, "when
there shall be no pending contest or pro-
test against validity of such entry
apply; whether the contest or protest to
the government issuance of the patent
until disposed of must have been pend
ing before lapse of two years from the
date of issuance of the receivers receipt
upon the final entry, in cases existing
and where two years had elapsed before
the act of March Sd took effect as
we'll as in those afterwards. Many
thousand homestead, desert land, pre-
emption and timber culture entries are
involved in this opinion. The proviso
in question is as follows: "Provided
that after the lapse of two years from
the date of issuance of receivers receipt
upon the final entry of any tract OF land
under homestead, timber culture, desert
land or pre-emptlon laws, or under this
act and when there shall be no pending
contest or protest against validity o.
such entry, the entryman shall be en-
titled to the patent conveying land BY
him entered and same shall be ISSUED

Pratt, of the Tenth cavalry superintend-

prominently in last winters campaign in

April 1lth, at Rosebud agency, and is as
follows, having been dictated to an army
officer:
"Friend Captain: You wrote me about
the Indians here making more trouble.
There is no intention here Of having
trouble. If we we're going to make
trouble, why would we enlist our young
men as soldiers for the great father, as
we are now doing? We see that this is
a very good chance for our young men to
do something for themselves and make
men of themselves, and we let them en-
list. There was a young man from
Standing Rock came here and asked me
the same question as you did, and I told
him that we have no thought of making
any more trouble; that we had one
trouble at Wounded Knee; that we our
selves did not have anything to do with
it, but that it gave us a lesson. We did
not want to fight in the first place, but
somebody called for troops. All we
think about now is to farm. I
received a letter about the same
matter from Lower Brule agency, and I
told them that we were not going to
make any more trouble and that they
must not pay any attention to such talk.
This talk gives me much trouble and I
did not like it. do not want to tell my
officer friends any lies, for I know they
are here from the great father.
