few years ago electrified Wall street with
their wonderful transactions in Cincinnati.
Hamilton and Dayton and Baltimore ana
Ohio. have, by the action Of District Attorney
klcoll and Judge Cowng, been relieved from
the eight indictments pending against them.
On one OF these indictments Ives was tried,
but the jury disagreed. Woodruff, who was
Ives clerk. turned States evidence, but
broke down under crOss-examination, and tor
this reason his evidence was valueless, and the
district attorney is satisfied that no CONVICTION
could now be obtained The indictments are
therefore dismissed. Ives is again in Wall
street, and several of his schemes have been
said from time to time t. have beensuccessful.
Thomas L. Doran and his friend Jack Bell
have Just returned TO San Francisco from a
frutless effort to find the famous Pegleg
mine in the Colorado desert. They started
on Washington's birthday with complete
Outnt and map or the district IN Wnlcn the
mine is said to be. They spent three months
in the heart OF the desert. thoroughly eKplor-
ing the country about Carissa Springs, in San
Diego county. They failed to find the three
golden hills strewn with nuggests which have
lured scores of prospectOrs to their death. and
they found nothing better than low-grade sill
yer ore. They suffered intensely from heat IN
the desert, and they had q lively experience
with earthquakes. They counted two hum
dred shocks in one day The country was
badly split up by these shocks, and the old
Yuma road was rendered impossible IN sew
eral places.
The intention of the Carneges TO make the
Homestead mill men non-union and TO en-
force the great reduction in wages proposed
by all the manufacturers has caused degree ~
bitterness which will result ia serious trouble
when the crisis comes. The leaders Of the
Amagamated Association Of Iron and Steel
Workers Thursday afternoon met commit
tee of Mahoning Valley, Ohio manufacturers.
They presented scale providing for even
greater reductions than those offered by the
Pittsburg manufacturers Wednesday, and the
conference WAS short and unsatisfactory.
The Amalgamated Association feel that |
back Of the reduction is q determination TO |
break their ranks. This they will fight to the |
last Their last great strike was on TOR
months, and during that time 100000 men
were idle and orderly. IL is charged that old /
leaders IF the Association are using knoWl- |
edge gained in its service TO help break II up. |
