Milton School Board,

The controversy in the Milton
School Board has been settled by the
Court dissoving it and appointing an
altogether new set of directors from
each of the five wards.
Since the election of new members
at the February municipal election
but two meetings have been held and
upon each occasion it was war to the
knife. An organization could not be
even effected. When an attempt was
made at the first meeting to elect
president of the board there was some
peculiar voting and the cry of fraud
was raised, the board being equally
divided, there being ten members and
eleven votes cast. This was but one
OF the many little episodes that occur
ed.
In the bill and answer filed there
are charges and counter-charges on
the part of each division The Court,
after summoning the entire board to
appear Eefore it, asked numerous
leading questions, and after dissolvine
it appointed the new board.

To Keep Flowers Fresh.

Flowers may be kept fresh for a
long time by putting pinch of soda
into the water in which they are held.
They should not be gathered while
the sun is shining upon them, but early
in the morning or after the sun has
been down tor an hour. To revive
wilted flowers plunge the stems to
about one-third of their length into
boiling water, This will drive the sap
back into the flowers, causing them to
become fresh. Then cut away the
third of the stem which has been heat
ed and place the flowers in cold water.

BURGESS McLUCKIE'S SPEECH.
A SPO0K IN CONYNGHAM.

The following ghost story is printed
by the Ashland Telegram
believers in ghosts are firmly con.
vinced that genuine and frolicksome
specimen o, this class has its home
and plays It's prarks along the road
between Montana and Kline's tavern
on the way to Catawissa. The road
at the point where it is said to be en-
countered at the ghostly hour of mid
night on almost any night, runs close
to an immense hollow in the noun
tains, and is hanked on the opposite
side by high embankment.
"a deep gully extends some distance
back into the right bank, and this dark
and lonesome spot is the alleged abid-
ing place of the walking spirit in robes
so white that it must have steam
laundry close at hand.
"The story goes that one time away
back in years gone by settler built
his cabin at this place and lived there
happily with his family. There came
a destroyer of his peace who stole
away his wife, and left behind the
corpse Of the settler, whom he had
killed in moment of murderous
frenzy. 1t is the spirit of this long
since departed settler which is said to
play its pranks upon passers by.
"George Thiel, Of point near Cat
awissa, Is not a believer in spiritual
manifestations, but at the present time
he is compelled to admit that some
thing much out of the ordinary befell
him at this place one dark, rainy night
during the fore part of last week which
neither he or any member of the party
which accompanied him have ever
been able to explain.
According to the story that Mr..
Thiel told, he and his friends were
driving slowly along the road at mid
night in closed wagon, upon night
when it was dark, and drizzling rain
falling, and the party were amazed
just after passing the supposed ghostly
retreat, to observe bright light sud
denly appear shining over the top of
their vehicle upon the road ahead of
the horses as though from dark Ian
tern stationed upon the roof. This
continued for some time and an inves-
tigation revealed no cause for the Gu
rious appearance, but the light re-
NAMED, and as the vehicle moved for
ward, it, too, kept its position. The
light was steady, luminous glare sim
liar to that emanating from an incan.
descent electric light, and it kept pace
with the team for a distance of half a
mile during which time the horses
were in perfect frenzy Of fear, and
the occupants speeches. because Of
the unexplained mystery, which after
while disappeared as suddenly as it
came.
"Others are said to have observed
the same phenomenon at nearly the
same point, but no explanation has
ever been offered"

that the private militia of capital will
invade Homestead no more, and much
of the success of to-day's meeting was
due to the belief that the State militia
was ordered to Homestead as much to
prevent the bloodshed that another
visit of the Pinkertons would provoke
as to preserve order in the region.
The mass meeting at Homestead
yesterday afternoon was most signif-
icant one and its developments were
awaited with intense interest by the
citizens on the outside. The meeting
was attended by about 5000 people
and in this number was about every
one of the number who shouldered a
musket and fought the Pinkertons in
the bloody battle of last week. The
meeting was called to order by Hugh
ODonnel who after stating that Bur
CESS McLuckie would preside, invited
the representatives of the press to the
platform. "lhey are the people," said
he, "who have created public sympa-
thy for IFS all over the United States.
They have been our friends" GAp

BURGESS McLUCKIE's SPEECH.
The speech of Burgess McLuckie,
on assuming the chair, was a most sig
nifcant one. Although the Burgess
of Homestead, he is one of the most
prominent leaders of the strikers and
shares with Hugh O'Donnell a great
influence over these sturdy working
men.

ANOTHER NORMAL SCHOOL.

A number of Scranton's leading

sary to raise about 100000 by subs.

suit. This money will be divided into
1000 shares of $Ioo each, and every
person who secures share of stock

Took Laudanum and Paris Green

Morrison Cartright, an old resi-
dent of Berwick died in great agony,
last Friday night after taking the con-
tents Of bottle containing laudanum
and paris green. He was at his work
until noon, when he told Foreman
Beishline he could not stand this life
any longer. To this remark little at
tention was paid, however. Recent
excessive dissipation and temporary
insanity are attributed as the cause.

A MASS MEETING HELD.

TO all but the pessimist, the conclu-
sion is irresistible that the crisis is past
and that Homestead will know hostili-
ties no more SO long as the military of
the State is on the ground and there
is no attempt to smuggle the Pinker-
tons into the works. Most people have
concluded that the Pinkertons have
satiatcd their warlike spirit and are
not likely to provoke further bloodshed
by attempting to occupy the works.
Indeed, the strikers regard the advent
Of the troops as the surest indication

TO MAKE BINDING TWINE FREE.
Congressman Hall Thinks his bill to that
effect will pass.

Congressman Hall says that his bill
placing binding twine on the free list
will pass the house. He has some hope
that it will pass the senate also. The
subject matter of this bill was under
considera:ionssd during the last congress.
The tariff bill of that congress, as it
passed the house, fixed a rate of II
cents per pound on binding twine. The
senate finance committee. to which the
bill was referred, reported the same
back with the recommendation that the
duty be fixed at u per pound. When
the bill was under consideration in the
senate the recommendation of the SEN
ate committee was disagreed to, and the
item was placed on the free list by a
vote of 81 in the affirmative and "a IN
the negative. The bill then went to a
conference committee, and finally passed.
The duty was finally fixed at seven
tenths of l cent per pound. Mr.. Hall
says he believes Senator Davis would
like to see twine on the free list, and
that the senator could consistently sup
port the bill.

Sam Steinke Jailed.

Sam Steinke, the man about whom
SO much was written last fall, when it
was thought that he had been foully
dealt with, was seen at Sleepy Eye
Sunday night. A party at once came
to New Ulm and notified the Sheriff and
Attorney Eckstein, who awoke the
clerk of court, secured a bench warrant
and started Immediately for Sleepy
Eye. When they arrived there they
found that Steinke had gone into the
country and the next morning Sheriff
Schmelz and ex.Sheriff Schmid started
out in search of him. His whereabouts
have been very shrewdly kept from the
public ever since his mysterious depar-
ture from Sleepy Eye in August and it
is strange that he should now tread on
such dangerous ground SO soon after
the arrest of his partner and the indics-
ment of himself.
Sheriff Schmelz returned with the
prisoner yesterday afternoon.

The Chicago Ladies Quartette appear

I The Chicago Ladies Quartette appear
at Turner Hall on tomorrow, Thurs
day, evening. Concerning them the st.
Peter Herald says: With absolutely no
exception the entertainment given by
the Chicago Lady Quartette at the court
house on Monday evening, was the fin
est ever given within the amusement
history of st. Peter. The hall was nice
lY filled with an enthusiastic audience
which encored heartily every number
from the beginging to the end, and while
the programme contained but thirteen
numbers, more than twice that number
were rendered. The music of the quar-
tette is almost above description. They
sang with such harmony and time, their
voices blended perfectly, and at the
conclusion of each number, as their yoi-
ces died away in sweetest cadence, bursts
of applause would break forth spontan-
eously. The solo numbers of Miss Ray
mond, Miss Stein, and Mise Knott, were
treats, while the readings of Miss Mary
Belmont Cope were marvellous inspir-
alton, The audience was enchanted
and subject for the time being to the
will of the handsome artist.

Incendiarism at Springfield.


The people Of Springfield are all
stirred up over the discovery of a plot
TO destroy Geo. Vogel's store building
in that viliageaby fire. Yogel has been
absent from home for several days, and
on Monday morning a person was seen
kneeling near Vogel's building, en-
gagged in somes mysterious operation.
Before the witnesses could get near him
he had skipped so that his identity is
still unknown. A bundle of hay was
found under the corner of the building
where he was working, however, and
this. open examination was found to be
saturated with oil. The consequent ex.
element spread about town, land later it
was found through the admission of the
occupant of the building that the Whole
roof and attic had been saturated with
oil, evidently to insure destruction
should the fire ever be started. These
are all the particulars. that could be
learned at present, and it is haro to say
what will come Of the matter.

VICTORY FOR JOHN LIND.
He Defeats Proposed Amendment to the
Interstate Commerce Law.

Congressman Lind of this district won
a victory in the house on Thursday in
defeating the proposed amendment to
the interstate commerce law giving
commercial traYelers special privileges.
He secured vote which extended the
time of debate and threw the bill on the
calendar as unfinished business, where
it will never be reached. 1t was quite
a victory for Mr.. Lind, as there was no
doubt when the bill was first under con-
sideration that there was majority IN
favor Of it.
Mr.. O'Neil Pennsylvania offered an
amendment providing that nothing in
the bill shall shall be construed to pro-
hibit any carrier from granting reduced
rates of transportation to passengers or
making reduced rates for freight.
Mr.. Harries (Minnesota) offered an
amendment providing that any common
carrier may give reduced rates to mem
bels of the G. A. R. when travelling to
or from any annual lencampment.
In speaking to the bill, MIR, Simpson
(Kansas) referred to the author of the
interstate commerce act (Senator Cul-
lom) as an ''iniquitous railroad attor-
ney," when he was promptly called to
order by Mr.. Lind. Mr.. Simpson ex-
pressed his willingness to withdraw the
''iniquitous, but this would not satisfy
Mr.. Lind, who insisted that Mr.. Simp-
SON remarks were clearly out of order.
Mr.. Simpson then withdrew the entire
expression.
MIR. Lind also. o.opposed The bill, but
defended the interstate law.
The demand for the previous cues
ton was voted down, so to 70. No fur.
ther action was taken.

STUFFED CLUB HARMONY.
This is Supposed to be the Plan Mapped
out in a Conference at Washington.

A Washington dispatch of the 3rd
describes visit to the capital by Will
liam Whitney of New York as follows:
William G. Whitney put in an appear
! ance at the capitol early yesterday. He
did not make himself unduly conspicu-
Gus, but before he had been on the
ground ten minutes he vas in consulta-
ton with Senator Carlisle. A few
minutes later Senator Hill was called
into the conference
A uote was then sent over to the house,
and in another fifteen minutesIthe three
politicians were vending their way, az
the invitation of Speaker Crisp, to the
speakers room. Messrs. Whitney,
Kill, Carlisle and Crisp remained in the
speakers room for an hour, and at the
close of the conference the ex-secretary
departed from the capitol as unobtrus-
lively as he came. Democratic leaders
were left to conjecture the significance
of the conference.
''lt means, said one who is very near
the throne, THAT we are going to nave
harmony with a stuffed club. The par
~ leaders in New York are becoming
alarmed at the outlook, and the ex-sec-
retary is believed to have come in to
patch up truce if possible
Mr.. Whitney is understood to have
been the bearer OF message from Mr..
Cleveland with reference to the EXPIRE
sident's intentions, and there was an
apparently inspired report that in
short time Mr.. Cleveland will publicly
announce his withdrawal from the race
at the time issuing a manifesto defining
his attitude on the silver and tariff ques-
ions and calling upon the party to pre-
sent solid front for tariff reform, who
ever the candidate may be,

LAKE MEN SAID TO BE UNEASY.
Opposition by the Whaleback Steamer In
terests to the Deep Water Project

Representative Lind. us a member OF
the Commerce committee and author of
the deep waterway projcct, was asked
on Thursday if he knew about the op--
position of tie whalebuck steamer IN
terests which were reported to be fight
ing his resolutions now before the
house.
Mr.. Lind said he had heard nothing
direct IN the matter. but he knew that
there was some talk OF that kind going
around the house and that the lake IN
terests were uneasy about ii. In this
connection it had been asserted to him
that the Canadian government did not
want more than fourteen feet of water
in canals, even if the proposition for an
international canal, which Mr., Lind
proposes, should result in something
tangible. This information coming 10
him, he had taken pains to ascertain,
and had it from reliable Canadian sour
ces that it was not true and the matter
of deep water canals il Canada was
merely question of expense, and not
because the Canadian authorities were
in any way opposed to it.
Secretary Thompson, OF the Duluth
chamber of commerce VINO made the
strongest argument in favor of deep
waterways OF any man before the river
and barbor committee, is aware that
certain influences are at work to pre-
vent favorable action upon the deep
water project, and he is preparing to
continue his work regardless of these
interests. He says that McDougall, the
manufacturer of the whaleback, is op-
posing anything more than fourteen
foot channel because it will give his
boats a monopoly of the lake business
1t appears that there are two men,
bers OF congress whose constituencies
border on the great lakes who are fight
ing this deep water project. One of
them, Weaderock of Michigan, is a
member of the river and barber CON-
mittee. The other is Whiting of Mich
igan, who is very influential in con-
gress. This proposition is having
great deal of effect with the Southern
members of the river and harbor COM
mittee, who seem to thip K that the re-
representatives. along the lakes Interested
IN lake traffic ought to know what is
best for the people they represent.
A great deal of indignation is mani
tested among members OF congress in
terested IN the deep waterway who are
not in the scheme to defeat the project
and they are saying very pointedly that
notice will be served upon Southern
| members that if the lakes are not pro-
perly taken care of they may give up
the Mississippi river improvements.

arise which would cause him to change
his mind about becoming candidate.
Some of his friends say that Mr.. Lind
will accept if the nomination is offered
him. They advise the Republicans Of
Minnesota to 60 ahead and pave the
way for the nomination.
1t is safe to conclude that if it ap-
pears to Mr.. Lind that he can do the
party any good by allowing his name to
be used he will consent to being placed
on the ticket.

A splendid success.

No one will be found now, we think,
! who will not readily admit that that the
Carnival Parade of last Tuesday was a
success and that great credit is due to
the rustlers who encouraged it and to
the many who went to the trouble of
making foats.Seldom if ever, have there
been so many strangers in Town and rare
lyhas business been so brisk. It is too
late now to give detailed description
of the parade, but suffice it to say that
many of the floats showedo riginality
in their preparation and through appre-
citation of the day as day for fun and
foolery.
Among the business men who were
represented were Crone Bros, A, Schell,
81. Frenzel, A. J. Eckstein, j. Hauen-
stein, j. +. Neumann, f. Schnobrich,
Jos. Schmucker, T. Mueller, Fortschrit,
H. Kiesling, Chas. Stuebe, w. Eibner,
Henningsen & Kiesel, and Henry We'd
der. Other interesting characters were
''Me and Mike" the "Happy Family, =
the s'Mintrels,' y "McGinty's Mishaps,''
the 'sColored Band'' and the .sCiDch
Party" The heralds, the Prince and
his train also made a gay and glittering
appearance.
Representatives Lind and Haugen to-
day, in discussing the river and harbor
improvements, assert that they are de-
termined to knock out in the present
river and harbor bill the provision that
acertain sum of money should be ex-
pended upon the Mississippi river be-
tween St. Paul and Minneapolis.
Mr.. Lind asserted, which is fact,
that the $50, 900 which Senator Wash
burn tied up in the last river and har-
Dor bill was lying in the treasury unex-
pended because there was no feasible
way in which to use it, Both Lind and
Haugen said that this would be fixed in
the present bill, and the idea of making
the river navigable between the Twin
Cities would be abandoned.
