NICARAGUA CANAL.
Delegates Representing Nearly
Every State in the Union
Assemble at st Louis and Memoriaiize
Congress on the Question of Sub
sidy to the Project.
Special to the Leaf-Chronicle.l

ST. LOUIS, June 2.-The large
Music Hall of the Exposition build
ing was crowded to-day with the
delegates appointed by the Govern
ors of nearly every State in the
Union to represent their respective
commonwealths at the Nicaragua
Canal Convention. This gathering
owes its existence to the State of
California, in which a preliminary
conference was held some months
ago and the call issued for to-day's
convention.
This call, which bore among others
the names of Morris M. Estee, who
was permanent chairman of the Re-
publican national convention at Chi
cago four years ago, and Jas. g. Fair
and Horace Davis, two multi.mil-
lionaires, met with a ready response
from the various States. The COVER
Dor of New Hampshire appointed a
delegation of eight. Gov. Brown, Of
Kentucky, named delegates from
every Congressional district, and
nearly every Western State has a
delegation larger than that requested
in the call. Among the delegates
from Ohio are ex-Speaker j. Warren
Keifer and Hon. Amos Townsend.
The special object of the conveD-
ton is the memoralizing of Congress
on the question of subsidy for the
Nicaragua cause project.
A statement prepared for the in
formation of the convention says that
the Canal Construction Company is
progressing beyond all expectations.
A large number of millionaires have
interested themselves in the scheme,
both with their money and with
their influence us a result of the eff
forts of ex-senator Warner Miller.
The work on the canal was COM
menced in May, 1889. and one mile
of it is now in active operation.
The clearing of the canal line of tim
Der has been completed, and eleven
miles of railroad is in operating or
der, and over three thousand people
are employed on the work. II was
originally thought that the cost of
the project would be about sixty-five
million dollars, but the indications
now are fully double that amount
will have been expended before the
work is completed.

A MONUMENT DEDICATED.
Gettysburg the Scene Of Large Gath
ering This Afternoon.

Special to the Leaf-Chronicle.
GETTYSBURG, Pa, June 2.-The
High Water Monument was dedi-
Gated here this afternoon in the pres
ence of an immense throng, largely
composed of Union veterans, and in
which the 1st, End, 3D., 5th, 9th, 18th,
and 18th army corps, as well as the
artillery and cavalry, were we'll rep
resented, together with the repre-
sen tatives of the army of the Po-
tomac, the executives of this and ad-
jacent States and others. The oration
was delivered by Congressman H. H.
Bingham, of Philadelphia, who was
wounded in the famous battle OF
which this monument is me-
mortal. Gen. Bi agham was captain
and Judge advocate on the staff Of
Majors General Hancock, and was in
the thick of the fray during Long
streets assault. When Brigade Gen.
eral Armistead, with one hundred of
his men led the advance of Long
streets column in the most daring
manner over the stone wall behind
which the Philadelphia brigade lay,
and when Armistead fell mortally
wounded within the Union line, it
was Capt. Bingham who received
his messages and keepsakes to be sent
through Gen. Hancock to his family.
At the battle OF Gettysburg he was
wounded in the head near the copse
of woods where the monument is
erected.

kill himself.

DO NOT FORGET BROTHER BRICE


The free traders have great deal to
say about one Andrew Carnegie. Have
they forgotten the case of one Calvin
S. Brice, late chairman of the Demo-
cratic national committee? Brice is a
millionaire like Carnegie. He owns
the coal mines at Briceville in the state
Of Tennessee. There he employs con-
Wet labor-the prison labor of the PEN
itentiaries of the state. A few months
ago the free workmen refused to work
side by side with convict labor pur-
chased from the state for few cents a
day. Who could blame them? They
struck. They took possession of the
mines, took the convicts, put them on
a train and sent them back to the PEN
itentiary. A long struggle ensued and
Brice finally succeeded in getting his
convicts back into the mines. That is
Democratic free trade-buy where YOU
can buy the cheapest, whether labor or
material. But about that Briceville
strike the Democrats have been very
silent.

WOMEN HANDLING COAL

According TO recent report of the
British inspector Of mines, says the
New York Press, there are 6,1l2 women
employed 81 coal mines i'm Great Brit
sin. I. Is stated, with a flourish of
sruups;s like the pointing with
pride" in Democratic platforms, that
the women are all handling coal
around the mouths of the mine, and
that none are now employed down in
the mine; as if the case were not bad
enough without that. Doubtless most
of the 6,1l2 women are mothers, wives
and daughters of the men who are dig
ging the coal which they handle at the
surface, and the latter have to work
because the men under ground do not
get enough wages, in that free trade
land, to keep a family in comfortable
decency.

A Nebraska Mans Wife.

The New York Sun tells an interest
ing story of William Truesdale, of Bea-
trice, Neb., who, it says, has secured in
the circuit court of that town an abso-
lutte divorce on the novel ground that
his wife, Amelia, is an incorrigible liar
He says that during their three years Of
married life his wife has told at least
10000 lies. In his petition for the di-
vorce he says, "She cannot tell the
truth, and while it is in the nature of a
disease believe it is incurable."
Here are few of the yarns told by
his wife which Truesdale cites In his
petition filed in the court: She told
him that his mother had just been found
dead in bed, murdered by unknown per-
sons that their nearest neighbor and
his best friend had attempted a Grim
inal assault upon her; that she had re-
ceived letter from lawyer in her old
home, telling her she had inherited a
fortune, and to send him fifty dollars at
once (she spent the money for a new
dress); that their little son had fallen
in the well and broken his leg Che was
asleep in the crib; that their minister
had eloped with servant girl, leaving
his wife and five children destitute,
which story, when repeated by him, was
the means Of costing him 500 and a deal
of trouble to keep from being convicted
Of criminal libel. There was a long
string of equally interesting fables filed
in Mr.. Truesdales petition, and the court
considered he had good grounds for Sc
curing the divorce he got.
