THE BEAVER FALLS MILLS.
No Time Set for Starting the Carnegie Plant

No Time Set for Starting the Carneg gle Plant
and Not Likely to Be.
"The company has not yet reached any
decision as to when the Beaver Falls mills
will be started up, nor has there been
time set for doing so," Secretary Lovejoy
said yesterday, ''and it does not know when
that will be done. AS I stated before,
whenever the mills can be run without
any trouble the subject will be consid-
cred. 1 don't think the election
will have any effect on business
but I have been paying no attention to
politics. simply ignore politics, and the
policy of the company is along the same
line 1 would like to say with regard to
the reports about the Beaver Fails mills
that they seem to come from the town itself
and not from the company"

any influence on the result of the election?"

81 don't know and do not care to discuss
the subject, as have not been studying the
situation"
Last night telegram from Beaver Falls
stated that Superintendent Wrigley re-
ceived orders from headquarters, Pittsburg,
to post notices here to-day that the Carnegie
mills will be started next day, and that all
the old employees, with few exceptions, will
be given their old jobs again. SuperIn-
tendent Wriglcy could not be found to ver-
ify this statement. Yesterday a number of
the officials OF the Carnegie Company. un-
der the guidance of Superintendent Wrig-
ley, made a thorough inspection OF the
plant. They reported finding everything
in good order for start. On the strength
of these developments Manager Dillon Is
expected here to-day. The strikers claim
to be as firm as ever.

Detailed Description of the Latest Fad
in Society Circles.
In these days when it is the fashion to
esting to know that as a novelty for
bazaar the game has been introduced as
Musical Whist with Living Cards" says
a writer in the Ladies' Home Journal.
Four players are seated upon raised
seats; large, square cloth, on
the floor or on a platform or stage,
forms the card table. The cards are repre-
sented by persons in appropriate costumes,
and the gowns for the court cards may be
very original The clubs usually wear
gray and white, the embems being in
black velvet, And have crowns of silver
gray and jet Hearts wear a pretty shade
of green, with white, and the emblems
are in, red. Spades are in pink with
black velvet emblems; diamonds in
yellow with deep red. The parts
af the smaller cards may be taken
BY children In gowns of cream-white
and mob caps, the cards being indicated in
large characters on the front of their dresses,
or they may carry an immense card, two
feet in length, and hung over the shoulders,
hanging in shield fashion in front, on which
are the spots of the card, and card should
hang at the back also and display the ordi-
nary kind of a card back. The cards enter
to the music of a march and are preceded
by two little pages clad in slashed satin
SUITS capes with ostrich tips, and carrying
wands of silver. Shutting, cutting and
dealing are shown by a dance, and the
cards then arrange themselves in front of
their respective players. Each player in
dicates in turn the card to advance to the
center, with musical accompaniment The
winning card of each trick leads the others
to one corner of the square where they
form in file, and so on closing up when six
tricks are made on either side.
At the conclusion of the game the tricks
of the winning side lead off in triumph
those of the losing side.

THE LIFE OF PAsTEUR.

The Great French Savant Is, on Occasions,
Very yAbsent-Minded.
Louis Pasteur. the great doctor, is short
built, thick-set man, considerably rounded
at the shoulders, with a closely trimmed
gray beard, and habitually wears pro-
foundly preoccupied appearance. His
sight is very poor and he walks lamely,
being semi-parslyzed on one side, but
withal he possesses the traditional polite
ness of the Frenchman, and never loses his
temper with the army of cranks and curio
hunters who throng his laboratory almost
daily.
Early in life he strayed away from the
beaten track of medicine into the by
paths of chemical exploration, and first
made himself known as an expert
menter in molecules Then he turned his
attention successively to silk worm dis
ease, chicken cholera and fermentation,
all of which were wonderfully eiucidated by
his researches. He also enriched pathology
with new horror by discovering the true
cause of splenic apoplexy, not content with
which, he has also discovered a means OF
checking it. His system of incubation
against rabies-upon which his fame will
even passing mention mere. In 1888 the
Pasteur Institute Tor the treatment of
hvdrophobia was opened in Paris Here he
treats all who come free OF charge. During
the last three years he has treated no less
than 1885 persons bitten by mad dogs, and
only So of his patients have died. His
gigantic scheme to rid Australia of the
plague of rabbits by spreading disease
among them by incubation has not been so
successful, but he says that some of his
most important discoveries are vet to be
given to the world if his life is prolonged
for few years more. He is glutton for
work, and after inoculating patients all day
experiments upon rabbits during the better
part of the night.
He is naturally weighed down with decor
ations, and has sat in the chairs OF five
different learned societies. He is one of
the Forty Immortals, being one of the few
men of science without special literary
claims who have ever been elected TO the
French Academy. He is profoundly absent
minded, so much so that ON the day of his
marriage search had to be made for him
by his brides relatives. He was finally
discovered in one of the hospitals of Paris,
and declared that he had forgotten all about
the wedding

BY RAIL TO JERUSALEM,
The Line Connecting Jaffa With the Holy

City Is Finished.
London Daily News.l
The first locomotive from Jaffa has ar
rived at Jerusalem. In this event we have
a new and ample text for the preachers.
The associations of the Holy City and its
contact with the railway system is some
thing incongruous to contemplate. 1t will
be sufficient to excite the wrath of Mr..
Ruskin, as it must appear to him to be a
greater sacrilege than that of the British
tourist shooting on Mount Sinai.
Letters received from Jerusalem by the
Palestine Exploration Fund, dated the ODD
ult., announced that the locomotive had
reached the city on the previous day.
Trains are not vet running, but the rails
have been laid down all along the line. and
our Paris correspondent says that the line,
which is being made by French company,
will be opened on the Goth OF this month.
The terminus is unfinished. 1t will be
on the west of the road to Bethlehem, not
far from the south end OF the Montefore
al1nshouses. The Wadi Rababeh, perhaps
better known as the Valley of Hinnom, will
separate the railway station from the town;
and it will thus be about half mile from
the Jaffa gate. Luckily tine temple site,
with Geshsemane and the Mount OF Olives,
is on the opposite side of the town, and will
not be much disturbed by the noise OF the
railway.
1t may be mentioned that the Wadi Ra-
babeh means ''The Valley of the Lutte. 4"

Arabic words can be found for the sentence

A RELIC OF THE WAR,
The White Towel General Lee Used as a
Truce Flag at Appoinattox.

The White Towel General Lee Used as a
Truce Flag at Appoinattox.
Chicago Herald.]
One of the most interesting relics of the
late civil war is the piece of white toweling
that was used as the flag of truce when the
Confederate army surrendered to General
Grant at Appomattox. 1t is owned in this
city by General E. w. Whitaker, who was
q member of General Clusters staff, and
who received it from Captain Sims, of
Longstreet's staff, on the morning of April
9, 1865. General Whitaker has treasured it
during all these years. He was induced to
part with portion of it several years ago,
when he gave half of it to his old COM
mander the late General Custer. Mrs.
Custer afterward gave the fragment to the
museum at West Point. On the small
piece of toweling appears the following
statement sworn to by General Whitaker
before notary public:
"This is a piece of the cloth cut from the
identical flag of truce which was used under
orders Of General r. E. Lee to ask cessa-
tion of hostilities of the Federal army at 9
o'clock A. NJ, April 8, 1866, at Appomat-
tox Courthouse, Va This flag of truce,
large white towel, was in the hands of Cap
tain Sims, of Longstrest's staff, when he
met Clusters cavalry charge. 1t was used
by ME in the rebel lines at the request of
Generals Longstreet and Gordon to an
nounce the surrender of Lee to the infantry
line of battle and also the cavalry"

DYNAMITED THE HOUSE.

An Attempt to Blow Up a Non-Union Board
ing House at Sharpsburg-Many Win
dows Smashed In-The Landlady Badly
Shocked.
About o'clock yesterday morning o
dynamite bomb was exploded on the win
dow sill of Mrs. Elizabeth Msrley's board
ing house at Sharpsburg. Mrs Marley was
lying in bed near the window when the e1-
plosion occurred, and was shocked into In
sensibility. Her son Peter, who was sleep
ing in a room on the second floor, was awak-
ened by the explosion, but supposed
it to be the report of q cannon cracker. A
few minutes later he heard his mother call
ing him. and on going to her room found
her in a dazed state. The window sash and
glass were scattered about the room, several
feet of plastering had been Jared from the
ceiling, and the floor was covered with de-
bris. The window sill, which had
been of four-inch pine, had been
crushed into two pieces, the first row
of brick under the sill had been blown into
fragments, and all the glass in the win
dovs on that side of the building had been
broken
Mrs. Marley keeps four non-union board
ers The theory that the bomb was ex-
ploded by strikers is not believed by the
citizens of Sharpsburg
Mrs. Marley said last evening: "I think
the bomb was exploded by my husband,
Landon Marley. He is a puddler, and has
several times threatened to kill me. About
a year ago he attempted to cut nv throat
with razor Last March, while living at
Etna, 1 left him and have not lived with him
since. He lives and works in Sharpsburg,
and sometimes enters my house. One

yesterday morning he came, asked me what
had happened and if suspected anybody"

NO CLUE TO THE ANARCHISTS

Who Missed Blowing Up the Carmaux
Offices, but Who Played Havoc at a
Paris Police Station-A Woman With
aSuspicious Package.
PARIS, Nov. notwithstanding the
denial of the Carmaux miners that they
had anything to do with the Internal ma
chine plot there are plenty of people who
place the entire blame upon them. The
more the affair is looked into the stronger
grows the belief among unprejudiced
people that the explosion was not the work
of any of the miners themselves, but was
due to some Anarchist sympathizer Not
withstanding the extraordinary efforts of
the police to discover a clue to the perpe-
traitor of the outrage they have not as yet
found the slightest bit of evidence.
1t was first thought the wrecked police
station would have to be torn down, and
that course may be followed after experts
pass an opinion upon the structure Among
the crowds of onlookers was a man who de-
clared that the Anarchists were right in
blowing up the bourgoise. He had hardly
uttered the words before he found himself
in the grasp OF a gendarme, who locked him
up. The Government has decided to prose-
cute nunber OF militant Anarchists
NJ. De Frapper, director of the Carmaux
Mining Company, says that as he was leav-
ing the offices of the company at II o'clock
Yesterday morning. he passed on the stair
case woman whose head was covered with
black woolen shawl. She was carving
an uncovered basket from which protruded
curiously shaped article wrapped. He
took notice of the woman, for though she
was poorly clad, she was going up the main
staircase instead Of the one devoted to the
use of servants The bomb was discovered
five minutes afterward. 1t transpired that
while the woman was enterinr the building
a man was observed walking to and fro out

RIVER STRIKE In THE BALANCE.
A Few Miners Working, but Most OF the
Men Stand Firm-A Rise in the Water
Considered Favorable to the Men-Some

A Few Miners Working, but Most OF the
Men Stand Firm-A Rise in the Water
Considered Favorable to the Men-Some
Flats Coming In.
The Coal Exchange met yesterday in the
Iron Exchange building but the business
transacted was rather light. The rise in
the river was looked upon with apprehen-
sion as to the outlook for the early settle
ment of the miners strike. The sentiment
was expressed that more water would infiu-
ence the miners to stand out with the e1-
pectation that the river operators would be
forced to give in, as they want to get as
much coal into the Southern markets as
possible.
The outlook for general break in the
strike this week was not considered bright.
as the miners manifest a desire to stand
firmly in their present position. Many OF
the operators took brighter view OF the
situation and predicted an early resump-
tion of work at the reduced rate. Opinion Is
by no means unit on the subject The oper-
ators firmly asserted that the strike would
be broken before this, and as time passes
without any change, their belief in their
own opinions has been materially weak
ened. The rise in tine river has allowed
several empties to be brought from below
the Davis Island dam.
Several operators were seen yesterday.
but they were inclined to say little on the
situation. Ali were hopeful OF an early re.
turn. Captain Posey said: eve will
never have our boats loaded with
coal except at the reduced rates. The
river men went In with the determination
to fight this strike out. We have both the
railroads and mines to contend with, but
are determined to win. 1 have no idea as
to when the mines will start.
Captain Bunton in discussing the situa-
tion said:
"There has been slight gain on our side,
but the strike is still on. The expected
break this week may prove to be another
nnverifed report. Little was done this
morning outside of hearing the reports from
the~river mines"
1t is stated that while more water would
tend to make the miners stand more firmly
for their demands, the bad weather would
also tend to induce the men to
return to work, as they could find little
work elsewhere and would be compelled to
return.
There are about 30 mines along the Mo-
nongahela Valley, and it is estimated that
partial work is being done in ten of them.
The following in the fourth pool are work
ing to about half of their capacity: Green
field, Crombie, Briggs & Flint, Cedar Hill,
John A. Woods & Son, Linnetts and
Knobb.

DR. HANsEN'S POLAR SHIP.
The Vessel Is Constructed to Be a Rare
Marvel of Solidity.

Marvel of SoIidity.
DR.. Nansen's polar ship has progressed
so far in construction that one can now form
some idea of its general outline, says
Folkebladet, the leading paper in Christiania,
Norway. The slanting sides strike the eye
at once. Under the supposition that the
vessel will be screwed" BY the ice, care
has been taken that no projecting points or
fla surfaces exist. The peculiar design
is based on the anticipation that all ice,
when meeting the vessel, will be forced
down under it, allowing it to be raised so
much out of water. For the same reason
the bottom of the vessel is covered with
hard and smooth wood-greenheart, 8 to 6
inches thick. Inside, the vessel is provided
with horizontal. vertical and diagonal
crossbeams, fastened by hundreds of iron
and wooden joints, giving the impress of
great solidity. The frame is mostly old
oak Besides the outermost covering of
greenheart, there are two oak skins. The
vessel is provided with steam engine of
16O-horse power. 1t is rugged as q three
master schooner and will mainly rely on its
sails when in the ice. Its dimensions are:
Greatest length of deck. meters
Greatest width of ofdeck.. IL meters
Height from keel to deck .. 5.25 meters
nen lOaueu. .....-................ 40 meters
Displacement....... 500 tons
The hull will be extremely heavy on ac-
count of the heavy material used in its
construction, yet it is estimated that she
will be able to carry 400 tons of coal and
provisions, etc. Besides the smaller boats
necessary for accommodating etc tuo LARGE
boats are being built, able to hold the
whole crew of twelve men and provisions
for three months.
If the polar currents are running as
Nansen supposes, it seems reasonable to
expect that his expedition will meet with
success His vessel is certainly marvel of
solidity.

Facts About Anchors,

The number of anchors in British ships
OF war varies according to the size of ves-
sci and the character of the service in
tended. A large ironclad carries eight an
chors, two ''bowers." two Sheets" one
stream" one ''stem" and two "kedges." :"
Smaller vessels have fewer and smaller an
chors; and the "stream" anchor of large
ship may conveniently serve as the
"bower," of a smaller, the difference be-
tween "bower." 'stem" aud other anchors
being rather in size than in design.

At least half an hour should elapse before
