Ex-coNVIcTs BOTHER HIM.
All Want Job from Manager Davis of
1.-THE Stowaway."

NEW YORK, JanuaryI10.-Thomas Il.
Davis, manager of 'sThe Stowaway," has
had all during the current dramatic sea-
son remarkable experience with pro-
fessional cracksmen that is becoming a
trife wearisome. In his exceedingly re-
alistic melo-drama there is scene where
two real burglars blow open a safe and
relieve it of its valuables. The incident
is worked up in a very sensational and
thrilling way, and with all the accessor-
les of dark lanterns and afe-breaking
tools.
Mr.. Davis has, within the past three
months, received applications from more
than score of people seeking employ
ment as stage crscksmen. These parties
are, or have been, professional criminals
and submit refele IS as to their capa'
bility in their peculiar line. Among
these curious documents are court rec
ords of their confinement for safe robber-
les, newspaper clippings telling of hair
breadth escapes from the clutches of the
police, evidences of their having "done
time'' in various prisons and of the skill
with which the crimes were committed.
In some instances photographs have
been sent, the counterparts of which are
to be found in the ''Rogues' Galleries of
numerous police headquarters. In every
case the applicants were careful to de-
clare that they were no mere house
breakers or of the common run of thieves
but genuine experts, whose eleverness
and experience are devoted entirely to
robbing safes. Mr.. Davis has made a
collection of these letters and testimoni-
ais which he correctly estimates as being
Tniuue.

United States in the northern ocean will

LONDON, January Officially, the
death of the lkhedive has been the chief
topic of conversation during the latter
part of the week, and naturally it has
overshadowed everything else in the
newspapers, for it is fraught with serious
conditions and, in the opinion of many
competentjudges, perhaps even the peace
of Europe is threatened.
Many Paris papers think twill raise the
question that France may now demand a
hand in the forming and maintaining the
regency, but on the other hand, the ma
joIity of the French papers agree that
the death of the ruler of Egypt is rather
favorable than otherwise to England, who
will take advantage of the fact in order
to prolong her occupation there, while
the uew khedive will become a mere pup
pet in the hands of the English, and this
will be of especial advantage in another
way, as it will give her chance of win
ming the sultan over.
The German press is inclined to be-
lieve that England will now have to face
serious question and give direct an
swer as to what she intends to do, and it
has doubt as to what that answer is
likely to be, for it is not probable that
she will leave Egypt The personality Of
Tewfik Pasha was interesting in many
ways, and his bearing was always digni-
fed, although he was very shy, especially
to strangers, by whom his timidity was
frequently taken for or ascribed to
lack of intelligence, than which nothing
could be more erroneous. When with
his friends all this feeling of reserve COM
pletely vanished, and his natural ability
found free scope, for he was good talk
er, and spoke English, French and Ger
man with great fuency. He was very
simple in his tastes, and not only hated
parade, which was a remarkable enough
fact, but he loved his home, and was an
excellent husband and father. That he
was anxious to ameliorate the condition
of his people is seen in the fact that he
founded several schools, and had very
distinct ideas on the value of education,
as well as the methods for cultivating
the mind,

MOURNING AT KREBs.
Thirty-seven Were Buried from Homes
There Yesterday.

MCALL1sTER, I. T., January 1o.-This
was day of mourning at Krebs, the
scene of the recent mining disaster. The
funerals of most of the victims whose
bodies were recovered W ere held. Thir-
tv-seyen bodies were inferred. There
were no religious services, excepting in a
few cases. Fifteen bodies were buried
Perhaps it never will be known lust
how many lives were lost in the accident.
Some galleries and their approaches are
SO blocked with debris that it is nearly
imnossible to open them. The mine Off
ciais now claim that only one man is
missing. This is an italian named Anto-
MO Genesetel, who had no family or
friends except those killed. His body is
supposed to be near the main entry I'M
der a mass of rocks which have nearly
all been moved. The men claim there
are others dead or imprisoned In the
mines.
skThere were 335 men working in the
mine Thursday, according to the pay
roll and tally reports of every man who
goes down the shaft. OF these, 81 dead
bodies were recovered, 1877 men escaping
by way of shaft No. I, now used as q
ventilating shaft, and 10S were rescued
from the main shaft in a critical condi-
ton. This leaves 80 still unaeeounted
for. The list of those who escaped by
shaft No. 7, and those rescued from the
main shaft is known to be complete, and
it is believed 20 escaped who have not
been listed. This leaves about 10 bodies
still in the mine.
The work of recovering the bodies is
very slow and impeded by the caving in
Of shafts and g alleries. 1t is believed all
who escaped death have been rescued.
No sign of live miners entombed with
in the mine was detected today, and the
rescuers now expect to find nothing but
the remains of the dead. 1t is claimed
now that the undue haste of the entry
men to get away from the mine caused
the death of many miners. The entry
men fire their own shots.
John Hurry and John Williams are
blamed as authors of the accident.

Street Railroad Men Strike Because
the Company Does Not Give Them
Free Passes.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, January TO-
About $50 delegates were at conference
today of engineers and firemen called by
Chiefs Arthur and Sargent, to consider
the points in dispute between the
Brotherhoods and the Consolidated
road. The delegates represented all
divisions of the road. The deliberations
were held behind closed doors and the
chief officers of the Brotherhood de-
clined to say anything for publication in
advance of further consultation with the
railroad officials. From member of
one of the brotherhoods, who was at the
conference, it was learned that large
majority Of the delegates voted against
strike. A proposition will be submitted
to the consolidated people in the morn
ing, which in itself is an acceptance of
the company's concession of uniform
scale of pay for the firemen ON
all the divisions of the road. The
demand for overtime when on the road
beyond certain specified time has been
abandoned. 1t was on this point the
whole controversy arose.
This settlement is in line with the re-
marks Of. President Arthur in an inter
view yesterday. He said then: "We
hope to avert strike for we realize its
seriousness. The meeting tomorrow
will aim to iathom the general feeling of
the members of the order, and
if reasonable, we are willing
to sustain them, even to the extent of
a strike on all branches of the road. We
shall, think, before long, succeed in
proving to the railroad officials and the
public in general that we are in earnest
in this matter, but we are willing to
meet the railroads half way and make
concessions ii We are assured they will
result for the common good OF those
concerned"
