THE situation at Homestead shows lit tie change. The troops maintain order. While martial law is not proclaimed the military have interfered with illegal ar rests by the special" officers for anything except recognized misdemeanors. Stran- gers can no longer be arrested or ordered to leave town on suspicion of being non- union men or of being unfriendly to the strikers. The works are open, and evil dently in partial operation. The corpora tion are confident that they can fill flip with all needed employees, and draw largely from the ranks of old employees, who are given a chance to come back, the union, however, being in no sense recog- nized in hiring. The strikers are equally confident that competent workmen can- not be secured, and that the proprietors will be forced to treat with the union and recognize it in making arrangements to start. They claim to be able to subsist on the meaus they have for long enough period to tire out their antagonists. This, however, is made less certain by the fact that the men in their idleness are spend ing money much more rapidly than when at work. The sympathetic" strikes at the other mills are also detriment to the union, as the Homestead men had de- pended upon assistance from members who were to continue at work, and whose earnings were to assist the idle ones. The lessening of production will also make more difficult a boycott of the product of the Carnegie works if run by non-union help, and may give an opportunity for other iron mills to shake off the control of the amalgamated union.
 The problem as to what will happen at Homestead when the troops are with drawn is much discussed. It is probable that by that time the iron works will be filled with non-union workmen. Will there be a collision between these and the strikers? Of course the troops can be called out again if needed. The state is liable for any damage done to buildings or other property by lawless power. The leaders of the union are intelligent men, but their followers are not all such, and it will be hard to hold them in check. In the end law will prevail.

THE Beaver Falls employees of the Carnegie Steel Company have given mo- tice of an intention to strike becanse of the Homestead trouble. The men at these works were under a contract for one year, their breaking of which will be a bad precedent in the matter of mutual agreement between employers and trades union. Manager Prick accepted the sit nation, and notified the workmen that their failure to return to work on Monday would be regarded as cancellation of the agreement existing between us, and when these works do resume it will be as non-union." As to the conditions under which the men would work the circular says: "Under no circumstances will we confer with the men at Homestead as members of the Amalgamated associa- tion."

J. H. Hale, the Glastonbury peach grower, and agricultural contributor to the Courant, says:
 Hartford people don't forget the taste of fine peaches we have given them in years past. And daily on the streets now am questioned as to this years pros poets. They are good, very good. The great crop of 1889 was produced on 5000 5-year-old trees, and 5000 trees and 9 years old, all loaded full. Since that time we have lost about 1 1000 of the older trees, which think is fully made up in the increased growth of the 5000 5-year- old trees. The trees in this orchard, and what there are left of the older ones, ap- pear to be more vigorous and healthy to- day than they ever were before. About 1000 trees have on rather scant crop, 5000 are just about right, and the other 5000 are so overloaded that we have put men at work who are now picking off about two-thirds of the fruit. With fa- vorable weather see no reason now why we shall not be able to fully supply the Hartford market from the 18th of August to October 10, just as we did in 1889. And from present indications am inclined to think the size and quality of the fruit will be even better than it was then.

SOME newspapers have been casting re- factions upon Rockville women, accusing them of wearing too fine street attire not discriminating as to proper time and place to appear in full dress. The Journal gallantly takes up the cudgel of defense, implying that Rockville ladies can't look otherwise than pretty and becomingly dressed if they try ever so hard.

REPORTS of small pox on Block Island have been much exaggerated. There has been no quarantining of boats, or panic. Four mild cases exist; these are now in an isolated place on the island, and the hotel where the disease appeared is quar- antined and thoroughly disinfected. There will be no spread of the disease.

THE confederate states had free trade cornerstone for fact. Here is a section from their constitution:
 Congress shall have power-To lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and ex- cises, for revenues necessary to pay the debts, provide for the common defense, and carry on the government of the con- federate states, but no bounties shall be granted from the treasury, nor shall any duties, or taxes or importations from foreign nations be laid, to promote or fos- ter any branch of industry; and all ds- ties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the confederate states"

Putnam Patriot: A large part of city residents prefer summer home in just such localities as New England has in abundance to offer. With good roads on which to reach our cheap inland farms, the best inducements would be offered for their becoming such homes. It is for the people in the rural districts to take hold of the movement if better roads are to be made.

CANDIDATES. CLEVELAND AND STEVEN SON went to New York yesterday to meet the committee chosen at Chicago to in- form them of their nomination by the democrats to the offices of president and vice-president of the United States. The combining of this duty with the holding of an immense political mass meeting is an innovation in American politics, but in this case it makes grand send off, a lurid opening of the great campaign.

THE U. s. senate and house are both on record as favoring, by large majorities, the closing of the Chicago exposition on Sunday. The best people of the country desire it, and if the exhibition has been held in New York the desire for Sunday observance would no doubt have pre- vailed. Can the state of Illinois or the city of Chicago afford to outrage the feel ings of vast majority of the law and order-loying people of the country?

WHO are to be the nominees for state officers this fall? There is opposition in both parties to the gentlemen who headed their respective tickets two years ago. There should be none on the score of fit ness. Both are gentlemen in politics." and have borne themselves with dignity and honor under peculiar circumstances. MT. Morris is gentleman of unquestion- ed character and ability. If renominat- ed all his associates on the democratic ticket in 1890 will be with him, with the exception, of course, that the death of Dr. Alsop makes need of a new selection for the place of lieutenant-governor.
 MT. Merwin ran well in 1890, and would again as the republican nominee for gov elnor. There is nothing to be said against him except by those who deem his politics to be bad Dr. Bowen should also be re- nominated by the republicans for lieuten- ant governor. Candidate Mclean having been made U. s. district attorney a new selection will be made for secretary of state. Senator Patrick Garvan of East Hartford is prominently named, and an equally strong candidate can be found in John J. Jennings, a bright young lawyer of Bristol, we'll known throughout the state. Also Treasurer Henry's more than probable nomination as congressman from the 1st district takes him out of the field. The best suggestion so far made, in fact none better can be made, is that ex-Sena- tor o. Vincent Coffin of Middletown suc- ceed him. MT. Coffin is one of the ablest financiers in the state, widely known and popular. Many personal friends in Tol- land county would give the ticket warmer support because of his candidacy. The renomination of Candidate Catlin for con- troller is quite probable and proper.

paid at the Homestead mills and corrob- orated by the workmen themselves, shows that no class of mechanics or artisans in the country receive a better reward for their labor. Compared to the wages paid to iron and steel workers in free trade England, the scale of wages in the Carne- gie mills is simply astonishing. A pud- dler at Homestead earns almost as much in a day as a puddler in the English mills earns in a week. The highest wages paid to the highest class of workmen in British mills, to wit, foremen, is $16.40 week. The highest wages paid in the Carnegie mills is between $80 and $9O a week. A common laborer or helper in the English steel trade is paid $5 a week. In the Homestead mills the same would be paid $10.08 week. There is corresponding difference in every grade of work between the British and the American schedule ot wages in the steel and iron industries. The wages earned by the iron workers in the United States are from fifty to hun dred per cent. higher than the pay of the iron workers in England.-Neao London Day.
 Springfield Republican: There was a sorrowful meeting of the stockholders oi the Georgia-Alabama investment con- pany at New York yesterday. One oi them expressed the sense of all when he said they had been "gloriously taken in, enveloped and divested of our money as slick as greese." This is the company oi which Gen. Butler was president and ex- United States Treasurer Hyatt an officer. These names were simply used as decoys to bring victims within the reach of those behind the scenes. But how came they to be used? Of course not without the consent of Butler and Hyatt. But why did they lend their names to an enter. prise they knew nothing or cared nothing about? They are morally, and ought to be made legally responsible for the whole concern and it's doings.
 The official figures at the treasury de- partment show that the fiscal year which ended on the last day of last month was a great year for business in the United States of America. The exports reached the unprecedented total of $1 ,03O, 3335 ,626, an increase from the preceding twelve month of $145, 1854, ,816. The excess of ex- ports over imports was $2O2, 944, ,342 I'm ports of the value of $369, 39O, 139 paid du- ty; imports of the value of $459, ,OO1 ,145 came in free. "The first complete fiscal year of the Mckinley laws operation" !" remarks the New York Press, has given the nation the largest foreign trade ever known"
 Hartford Courant State Treasurer Henry will probably be the republican candidate for congress this fall in this district. No other name is heard as yet In any event he has said he would not be a candidate for treasurer. He has filled that important position admirably. A number of very important reforms in our tax system have been inaugul ated with his help and carried through most suc- cessfully by his intelligent management His record is one to be proud of individ- ually and party wise.

A SERIOUS CHARGE.
A Father Charged With Killing
His Daughter.
The Crime, It Is ALI ged, Was Committed
In An Attempt to Shield
Himself.

Special to the Leaf-Chronicle.l
RUssELLvILLE, KY, Dec. 2S.-
The little village of Hartford, near
here, is very much excited over a
warrant being issued for the arrest OF
P )stmaster VIM. Milligan, charged
with killing his stepdaughter, Laura
Williams, girl not yet past her
teens.
It is charged that he had been inti-
mate with her for several months, or
since the death of his wife. About
two months ago he left his home and
came to Russellville, where he re-
mained about a month. Soon after
he returned home the girl died.
An autopsy was held on the body
and this revealed the fact that her
death had been brought about by
her father producing an abortion on
her to shield his crime. After this
examination a warrant was issued
for Milligan's arrest, but it has not
yet been served.

th,t none but the Governor can at

SKATING ON THE ZOE.
How Some Of tina Boys and Girls Are
Having Much Sport.

The frozen ponds are furnishing
the younger people of Ciarksville
much sport now, and especially is
this true Of the Stewart pond on
Second street. This Is one of the
finest ponds about Clarksville, and
the Ice ON it now is about two inches
thick and it is as smooth as French
plate glass. All day yesterday this
pond was covered with skaters,
among whom were some of the best
young people of the city. The sport
is very fine, and 80 much are they In
love with it that the only thing that
stopped them last night was the
putting out of the electric lights at
midnight. The light at the inter-
section of Second street and West
avenue gives all the light necessary
to the skaters, but the trouble about
it is, that it don't burn all night.
Half the fun in skating seems to an
outsider to consist in picking ones
self up from the ice occasionally.
This makes very little change in a
skaters business, however, and be-
fore seven O'Clock this morning the
pond began to show signs of life, In
the persons OF some boys who could
not wait for breakfast before tackling
the sport.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 2S.-The Maryland
Steel company's enormous shear legs a
the marine works at Sparrows Point
are nearly ready to receive Krupp's 1874
ton gun, to be exhibited at the world
fair. The hydraulic mechanism by
which the shears will be worked is com
pleted. New trestle work has beer
erected under the bridge of the Balti
more and Sparrows Point railroad
across Bear creek, to give the structure
greater strength for supporting the
weight of the gun.
1t is said the gun will cost nearly
$500,0O0. Its length, eighty-seven feet
is nearly twice that of the largest gur
owned in this country, which is forty.
FIVE feet long.
II is said that if fired ON the lake front
at Chicago the conclusion would be sc
great that it would shatter nearly all
the window glass in Chicago. The CUR
will carry ball fifteen or sixteen miles
The gun and the several pieces Of
smaller ordnance and armor plate to
comprise the Krupp exhibit will proba-
bly, be brought over next month. The
special cars being constructed by the
Pennsylvania Railroad company to
carry the exhibit to Chicago will be
finished and delivered at Sparrows
Point in couple of weeks,
The cars will be the largest ever built
and almost entirely of iron. One Of
them will be placed on thirty-two un.
usually large and strong wheels. This
will be used for transporting the 124-ton

HE WILL CONTEST.

He Serves Notice of a Contest on tn,
Congressman From the Eighth
District.

Congressman B A. Enloe, OF the
Eighth district, has received notice
that P. III. Thrdsher, his late Popu'
lite opponent, would contest the
election. The grounds of the con-
test are as follows:
"First it is claimed that Enloe did
not receive majority OF the votes
cast and returned for re prese ntativein
Oopgress. Second, that Thrasher re
ceived enough votes that were not
counted for him when added to the
number of votes certified for him to
give him majority. The charges
cover the wards of jackson, asserting
that the election in that city was
illegal and holds that said votes should
not be counted because the election
was held under the provisions OF the
Dortch law. Certain districts are
mentioned in the counties of Deca
tur, Perry and Henderson where
votes were cast out because the bal
lots did not come up to the dimen-
sions as prescribed by the State law.
Thrasher claims he was duly elected
to the Fifty third Congress, and asks
that body to seat him as the repre-
sentative from the Eighth Congress-
