the poverty of q miner, earning $3.50
per day, yesterday morning TO the pros

letter eSultingly under his eyes, and ex-
claimed: "Charles, we are rich. We
are worth over $4,000. Read IL pp
Then the excited woman sank weeping
to the floor. Dimmick .wonderingly
read that his wife had fallen heiress to a
third interest in an English estate val
ued at aI00, 900, aud that she should
start for England at once.
Mrs. Dinmick's grandfather be-
queathed the property to her father, who
was unable to take possession, owing&Q
a coutested will. In 1855, after having
secured a clear title, her father was
about to CLAIM the inheritance, when he
was drowned in the English channel.
HIS daughter, about year later, mar
ried Dlmmick and came to America, set
Ting in the coal regions of Pennsylyan-
Ia. Two weeks ago Mrs. Dimmick re-
ceived communication from O. sister in
England to the effect that the estate
would soon be delivered INTO their hands,
and last night a message from across the
sea settled tho fact, as she believes, be-
yond doubt. The two sisters and a
brother are the heirs.

In the Grasp of tho Grip.

CHICAGO, March 18.--Chicago is in

seems to be more prevalent than it was

line of business. Five hundred men
employed on the West Side street cars
are laid off with the epidemic, and the
company is badly handicapped for help.
The South Side Company has one hun
dred and twenty-five men on the sick
list. The North Side Company has
about seyenty-five men out, while many
of those at work are suffering from the
disease in a mild form. Large down
town stores are having a like expert
ence. In one store employing one hun
dred and fifty clerks forty are sick.
Ter per cent of the police force Is
laid up and fifty men In the fire depart
ment are off. Fifty out of one hundred
and fifty mail carriers In the postoAice
are suffering. ALI of the hospitals are
overcrowded. There is scarcely a board
ing house in the city. 1t is said, that has
not one to FIVE persons laid up with the
grip. II Is bad at the hotels and fully
one-thlrd of the guests are Ill. TO

COLUMBIA, S. o., March 20.-The
State has fathomed the Alliance tro uble
about the bank to a certain depth. Yes
terday Rev. j. A.. Sigh, one Of the most
prominent Alliance men in the state,
was in the city. He said that many peo-
pie were trying to make a mountain out
of q mole hill about the bank trouble.
When asked about the trouble he said
that the directors of the State Alliance
Exchange wonld meet in this city the
fourth Tuesday in April TO consider it,
and efforts would be made to have a
meeting of the. stockholders at the same
time. He thinks 1t probable that the
whole question will be referred to the
subordinate alliances subscribing the
money to put into the bank, for their
action. The men who are CT eating the
trouble are conscientious in their opposi-
ton, and a majority of the state alliances
and stockholders are III favor oil establish-
ing the bank. Tie majority can 60
ahead and establish the bank. but they
wish to bring the minority in and clear
up the matter. 1t is better to wait than
to rush into such an important matter
when there is opposition, although it be
in the minority. Thus the matter
stands,-The State.

INDIGNANT SONS OF ITALY.
The Now Orleans LynohinE Denou need

NEW YORK. March 2O.-F1ye thous.
and Italians crowded the big hall OF
Cooper Union tonight to denounce the
lYnching Of their brethren in New Or
leans. AS many o were unable to
gain Abundance, and an overflow meet
ing was held outside in a drizzlins rain.
Signor A. DeAngelo pres ided at the
indoor meeting, and on the platform
were seated about 200 prominent Ital-
ian merchants and business men of the
city. The speeches were nearly all in
the italian tongue, and were almost Ter
rifying in their vehemence. The senti-
ment that the Italian race demanded
satisfaction for the killing of thoir couu-
trymen seemed to express the opinion of
the meeting, and was vigorously ap-
plauded. The meeting was orderly in
every respect, and The large force of
police present had little to do.
The preamble of the resolution adop-
ted, after reciting the assassination, and
the arrest and trial Of the Italians, says
a ferocious mob was excited to murder
through a manifesto signed by many
prominent citizens and hat the officials
of Louisiana, city and country of New
Orleans, as intimated by the unanimous
voice of the press, did not appearto no.
tlce nor did they attempt to prevent the
awful DutcherY, 80 that it can be practi-
cally Inferred that both the said state and
city authorities, together with the So
called prominent classes ofNew Orleans,
must share the responsibility which the
law OF a civilized country imposes upon
defiant murderers and cut-throats /; there
fore the law must take its high and VIM
dicating curse by duly Furnishing tho
promoters and participants of this trag-
edy. Therefore, it Is
'Resoved, That the American citizens
OF italian birth aud extraction assembled
in mass meeting of indignation, do here
by appeal and apply to the authorities
Of the United States for the apprehen-
sion and immediate punishment of the
signers of the manifesto which called
out the mob. and Of all and every part
icipant in the assassination of the inno-
cent, unarmed and unprotected Italians,
whilst confined in the parish jail on Sat-
urday last.
"And be it further resolved, That all
the Italians of New York await with
calmness aud firmness the %reparation
which Il government has requested
from that Of this republic, and that full
justice be made in this case. acc ording
TO the constitutional laws of the u nited

1t was further resolved to forward
copies of the resolution to the Preident
OF the Uuited States, to the chief justice
of the supreme court Of the United
States, and to the Italian premier at
Rome.
All the speakers were unanimous in
protesting, in the name of the Italian
colony OF New York city, against the
massacre of eleven of their countrym en-
at New Orleans, and were emphatic in
the demand that ~justlse be meted IL to
