c. Kings Behalf.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 26.--It is gen
orally believed here that the application
for writ of habeas corpus FLED by tho
attorneys of Col. Henry Clay King before
United States Circuit Judge jackson, will
result in favor of Colonel King and that
he will escape the death penalty.
Colonel H. Clay King is under sentence
TO be hanged on August 10 for the murder
of David H. Poston He is now confined
In an iron ribbed cell In the Memphis Jail
within sight of the one occupied by Alice
Mitchell, the pretty and petite murderess
of her lover friend Freda Ward.
It was the morning Of March 10, 1891,
when the deed was done. Mr.. Poston
was walking along the street In the very
heart of the city, where everybody knew
him. He had just lifted his hat to lady,
when King wild eyed with rage and
maddened by drink, sprang out upon the
sidewalk. Poston held out his hand, but
it was dashed aside, and King, placing the
muzzle of heavy revolver against Pos
tons body, pulled the trigger and sent a
bullet clean through his victim. 1t was q
cowardly shot and as deadly as cowardly.
Poston staggered but a few PAGES and fell
into the arms of a friend. He was car
ried home and died on the second day
after receiving his wound.
After King had fired the fatal shot he
made no effort to escape, but gave him
self up to the authorities. The excite-
ment around the scene of the tragedy was
intense, and threats of lynching became
SO ominous that the wretched prisoner
begged to be permitted to retain his re.
volver for self defense until he reached
the shelter of the Jail, and this was ac-
corded him.

These associate members number about
POO ladies and gentlemen, prominent in
New ! orR social and financial circles. Very
strict rules are riEidly enforced TO secure
attendance at all the rehearsals. The club
has for several years occupied quarters on
West 55th street. but early in September
will remove 10 a magnificent new club house
erected for its use at a cost of $500, 600 by
one of its honorary members The main
feature of the new house is a concert room,
which has a seating capacity of 1900, and
is perfectly appointed in every way. The
influence of the organization upon the mu-
steal life and taste OF New York city has
been very great.
The glee club quartet from this organi-
cation. which is TO give concert in Brat

is composed of solo voices, chosen with
special reference to the work which the
quartet undertakes. The press comments
upon their performances are of the most
commendatory character One of the most
discriminating of these SAYS: 1t is unusual
TO listen to four voices of such even calibre.
They are rich and full, and remarkably well
cultivated. Ii is not that the highest and
lowest voices are rich and sonorous, but
that the difficult middle parts are eXcep-
tiOnally well sustained All are soloists of
well-earned New York reputation.

THE MOVING MACHINE TEST

Dorr Clough of Putney sends a reply TO
". ;. Williams communication of last
week, the main point OF which is a criti-
cism of Mr. Williams statement that a four
and a-half Hall machine will cut an extra
six inches of grass with two and a-halt
pounds of extra draft. To do this,
Mr.. Clough thinks, would require at
least p pounds extra draft, otherwise
why not make the cut ten feet with an
additional draft of - pounds A ma
chine made TO cut four and one-half feet
cannot cut i've feet, as it would not balance
machines must be made OF a weight pro-
portiOnate TO the length of the cut. Mr..
Clough further says that his original state
ment was that the dial on both machines
in the disputed test ''vibrated from 235 TO
$50 pounds Both sides having been
duly heard, il does not seem TO us neces-
sary that newspaper controversy should
be entered upon.

Pomona Grange Discusses the Hay Crop
and the Temperance Question.

anu Ant nlpttAhtf AutHAAhhs
Wndham County Pomona grange held
its quarterly meeting with Protective
grange on Thursday, June 3D. The morn
ing was devoted to grange work. Nj
Newman Of Gilsum " H.. being present
spoke of the increasing interest in the or

nearly every farmer had Joined the order

of having the national grange meeting in

OF the manifest increase of interest in the
subject OF farming. One man lac knew

the interest of the little fellows was some
thing worth seeing.
The afternoon meeting was open TO the
public. and as had been announced the
subjects for discussion were hay and rum.
but not in the old-fashionel way OF plenty
of rum during the haying season. The
large quantities of hay out prevented many
farmers who are usually there from being
in attendance. {. j.. Whitman thought
grass should be cut early and well cured

that grass for horses should be well rip

THE ENGLISH COAL STRIKE.

The coal miners of England are engaged
in a great strike. The English Coal
Miners National Union is most power
full trade organization. which was formed
in 1881. When the conference of
the National Union met at Manchester,
September 4. 1882, it was strong enough 10
propose and carry IS per cent. advance
through the Kingdom. This was, month
later. changed TO 10 per cent. advance.
This attempt was crowned with success
and for ten years past the coal miners Of
England have dealt with their employers
on equal terms. Two years ago there was
a brief strike for q 10 per cent. ad-
vance. By strike in 1883 wages had
been advanced 20 per cent; bnt coal had
risen 20 to 90 per cent, and the men de-
manded and obtained an advance of 10 per
cent more. In 1853 the sliding scale was
abolished, and since then wages and all
other differences between employers and
miners have been settled by an organized
system Of local, district and national COM
nAtees. In Durham, a single one of the
English mining districts, for instance, the
evidence recently given by the miners
secretary before a parliamentary commits
sion showed that 1000 out of the 5000
miners in the district were In the union.
From 1854 to 1sSs the union paid out $780,
600 in relief during dull times, and from
1881 to 1890 it expended s239, $50 on strikes.
:. These miners have, therefore, ten years
OF success behind them. but they face odds
today they never faced before. The great
strikes of the past year in Germany and
France have failed where wages are far
lower than in England. In 1872 protective
legislation added 10 per cent to the cost of
raising English coal; in 1857 another act
added to 10 per cent. more; English and
Scotch coal miners in the past twenty
years have gained an eight-hour day,
while Continental miners still work twelve
and fourteen hours.
The English miner has a great advant-
afe IN the cheaper cost of producing coal
In 1855 this was, reckoning the shilling at
% cents, s1.1 a ton at the pits mouth in
the United Kingdom, against S129 in
Germany, s2.45 in France and Sl.65 in
Belgium.
Cheap production has enabled the
English mine owner to pay relatively
high wages. but this is no longer possible
in the serious depression of English trade,
and the indirect competition of American
coal begins to be felt. Our bituminous
mines, two-thirds of our entire output,
produce coal at 4 cost of 80 cents and 81 a
ton. Illinois block coal is sold today in
Chicago at $3.50 a ton, while steam coal is
sold in Newcastle for $235 ton.
The Philadelphia Press says:
III all probability American coal will be sold
at profit in English ports inside of five years,
and by that time our production will have ex-
eeeded that Of Great Britain. Today tits liS,-
o00,0J0 tons to 5000 coo In the United Kingdom.
In twenty years our production has more than
trebled; that of Great Britain has risen only
one-halL Under these circumstances English
miners and mine owners are playing slowly
losing game.
