THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
Grent s.rlke Of nrl,l.h coIIler..

On Saturday the great strike among the
English miners, by which nearly half a
million of men cease work. opened. Col
lieres in Lancashire, Cheshire, Yorkshire,
North Wales and other districts are idle,
the men having decided to take a week,
fortnight or even three weeks holiday in
order to restrict the output, while in Dur
ham the $4,000 men who are striking
protest against the reduction of wages.
The fears of a coal famine are widespread,
and the price of coal has risen to a point
not known since the memorable strike of
the Northumberland and Durham miners
- years ago. Some factories have been
compelled to cease work this week for
want of fuel A number of others will
have to close next week if the miners de-
termine to carry their experiment into a
second week and if it is prolonged into a
third week the disturbance of British man
ufacturers will be general and its effects so
widespread that scarcely an estimate can
be formed of the terrific loss to the com
munitics which must ensue. The whole
situation is startling in the highest degree.

Fears of Cattle Disease.

Much uneasness is felt by American
stock owners, and particularly by the de-
partment of agriculture, on account of the
serious outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease
in Great Britain and its rapid spreading
despite the prompt measures adopted for
its suppression. Many sheep are imported
into the United States from Great Britain,
and as these animals are very subject to
the contagion of foot-and-mOuth disease,
it is feared that it will be introduced by
them into this country in spite of the quar-
antine now enforced, and the prohibition of
the importation of cattle, sheep, goats and
swine may be necessary. This disease
does not now exist on the American Con-
tinent, and it would be national calamity
to have it introduced, as every animal that
is in the least exposed to it becomes dis
eascd.

VICINITY GLEANINGS.
Fire Mt Springfield,

Fire was discovered in the Vermont
Snath company's factory at Springfield on
Wednesday night of last week. Efforts to
start the pumps connected with the works
were unavailing. The three streams from
the steamer prevented the fire from destroy
ing what was known as the new shop and
the pattern shop, although both buildings
were somewhat damaged by fire and water.
The foundry was a total loss. 1t was in
sured for $1,000, while the loss is estimated
at $1,000. Ten years ago the part of the
works in which the snath business was
carried on was burned out, and the result
was that this department was sold and F.
p. Ball removed to Bellows Falls. The
name of the company, however, has re-
manned unchanged, and some parts of
snaths for other manufacturers have been
made at Springfield, but the foundry work
and the manufacture of agricultural i'm
plements has been the main business. A
new building will be erected at once.

Gen. Booth Mobbed.

In London Friday night Gen. Booth
of the Salvation Army was mobbed by a
crowd of 3OO6S ex-criminals and others
whom he had invited to meet him in the
Grecian theatre to see what progress the
army had made in caring for the homeless
of the city. The building was crowded
with the most disorderly crowd it ever held,
and misses and insults greeted Gen. Booth
every time he attempted to speak. The
police removed some of the disturbers and
the general made a short address, but the
meeting finally terminated in riot, during
which the police fought the crowd. Many
were injured before they were overcome.

her race, and withal has the reputation
OF being mighty fine looking woman.
Mr.. TAFT went to church yesterday

the corner of Broadway and Second

reminiscent of Edinburgh. Mrs. TAFT
staid at home; che was an occasional
church goer, but not to the degree prac-
tised by her husband. When Mr.. TAFT
returned at little after 12 O'Clock a
scene of desolation awaited him. His
house was dismantled, the greater part
of the furniture gone, with his wife's
wardrobe and herself.
He inquired among the neighbors and
learned that shortly after his departure
for church an express wagon had came
to the house and Mrs. TAFT had loaded
into it all her belongings and then de-
camped.
Eyes, she left me enough to get along
WITH" said Mr.. TAFT in reciting his
troubles to HERALD reporter yesterday.
"a spoon, knife and fork, a couple of
chairs and the like of that. She went
away from me once before, and 1 went
after her and asked her to come back,
but I'll do that no more. She's gone
and now she can stay"
