Have Paralyzed the Coal tand Iron In
dustries
LONDON, March 3l.-The strike OF
the miners in Durham, which began on
March -, will probably be prolonged
another fortnight. The coal shipping
trade of Sunderland and Hartleypool is
entirely suspended. The trade on the
Tyne has been greatly curtailed In con-
sequence OF the strike and the iron
trade is at standstill. Seventy
furnaces in Middesborough have
stopped operations. Thousands OF
workmen at Stockton are idle,
owing 10 the scarcity OF fuel. At
yesterdays meeting OF the Board OF
Poor Law Guardians, it was reported
there that hundreds OF people were In
a starving condition. Relief works for
the benefit OF them have been opened.
A compromise has been effected by
which a strike affecting 5000 miuers In
South Wales and Monmouthshire has
been averted. The trouble grew out Of
threatened reduction.
The federation board OF the Durham
miners has asked the coal owners assO-
citation TO withdraw it's notices and allow
the men to resume work. The coal
owners association In reply Informed
the federation that the resumption OF
work by the men must be accompanied

A PRETTY FIGHT.

The Republican sheriff and the Republi-
can President of the County Court of
Kaaawhs After Each Other.
SDeetGi Telegram toths Register.
CHARLESTON, w. VA, March 81
Quite sensation was created through
out the city to-day by the announce
ment that charges Of habitual drunken-
ness had been filed in the Circuit Court
against Col. Cunningham, President Of
the County Court.
The charges are specifically stated,
giving day and date. commencing as far
back as 1887, when he first took Office.
The paper charges that upon these oc-
casions the colonel was incapacitated
for business and public matters referred
to, during these times.
Col. Cunningham is Republican and
became notorious ,in rendering the OBJ
noxiouS decisions against the Democrats
in 1883 and 1889. The charges are
sworn to by Deputy Sheriff Wyatt, who
is also Republican. 1t is
said the trouble grows out OF
the fact the County Court passed
an order taking the Sheriffs Office for
the use of the County Clerk during the
time the new Court House is building.
Sheriff Pickens, it is said, is at the bot
tom Of it, and the friends of the Colonel
charge that it is pure spite work. The
paper is make returnable the sixth OF
April, and was served to-day. 1t is
rumored tonight that impeachment
papers will be filed against Sheriff
Pickeus charging him with collecting
illegal interest from several tax
payers OF the county. 1t is all Re-
publican fight and promises to be very
interesting before a settlement is
reached.

GOLDEN RULE BURNED.
A Sudden and Terrific Steamboat Fire at
the Cincinnati wharf-One Life Lost.

the CINCINNATI Wharf-One Lie Lost
CINCINNATI. March 31.-Shortly after
4 o'clock this afternoon, as the Golden
Rule was about leaving the big wharf
boat at the public landing just above
Main street, she was observed 10 be on
fire. Women shrieked and tainted and
it required all the courage and presence
OF mind of the men TO prevent horri-
bic holocaust.
Lying alongside the stern OF the Gold
en- Rule was the Keystone State, next
to the wharf boat. To her the passen-
gers ran and clambered on to her upper
deck. But the fire was so fierce and
sudden that the Keystone State was
compelled to back into the river. Then
some brave and thoughtful men ran
from the shore, caught the stern OF the
Golden Rule and drew IL into the wharf
boat, and thus gave means to escape
to the few who had not gotten away
otherwise.
But one unfortunate passenger, Miss
Nellie Maloney. who had been visiting
friends in Cincinnati, made rash at
tempt to jump too soon and fell between
the boat and fuel barge. Clerk +. NJ.
Bondurant jumped in and made a
heroic effort to save her, but she disap-
peared under the wharf boat and was
lost. The great wharf boat, Of course,
was soon ablaze from end to end and all
its upper works were destroyed.
The Golden Rule, Capt. o. p. Shinkle,
was worth SEQ coo Us S25, 900. She had
a fine cargo estimated at $50, 600. Every
thing was burned inside OF an hour
The hull floated two hundred feet and

LONDON, March 31.-The brief dis
patches from Rangoon sent last night
gave substantially all the facts so far
known 10 the outside world In regard
TO the CONFEDERATION at Mandalay, the
Capitol city OF Burmah. This dispatch
said simply that three quarters OF the
town had already been destroyed in
cluding the new telegraph offices, and
the old Palace, and that there had been
great loss OF life. The use OF already
implied that at the time the dispatch
was forwarded from Rangoon the fire
was still in progress
Efforts TO obtain further details have
so far been altogether unavailing. The
destruction OF the telegraph by reason
of the burning OF the offices has cut the
city of from electric communication
with the outside world and no further
news can be had until connection is re-
stored. The only news received in Cal
cutta is that printed in the Statesman
of this morning, which says that up 10
noon yesterday half the town had been
destroyed. No mention was made In
LnlS TtpOEl VI du9 iOSS va ltAC.
The special dispatches from Rangoon
published this morning in the Times
and Chronicle, which report larger de-
struction Of life than given in the
Statesmdns dispatch agree in the state
ment that the conflagration has been
attended with serious loss OF life.
s:3O D. ma despatch TO Reuter-
Telegram Company from Calcutta just
received gives intelligence received In
that city up to o'clock this afternoon.
According 10 this dispatch the tire at
Mandalay occurred in the vicinity OF
the Catholic school From these II
spread to Dyer's brewery and from
there along the streets Of native houses.
These flimsy wooden huts caught fire
in rapid succession until miles OF streets
were abaze.
RANGooN, March 81, 9P. M-The
fire that started in Mandalay yesterday
burned itself out after causing immense
damage To-day there were two fresh
outbreaks. The first, which occurred
in the eastern portion OF the city, had
It's origin in cluster Of huts. The
flames spread for mile, when the wind
changed and drove them back TO the
Law Courts. Thence they extended TO-
wards the incompatible Pagoda," de-
stroying a number OF large and valuable
pagodas in their path.
Tonight third fire has just broken
out in the British Cantonment, and the
flames are raging furiously. Ii is i'm
possible as yet for any estimate OF the
money loss, but 1t will be immense.
Later.-About 1000 families will be
homeless. Chief Secretary Symes has
appealed TO the English in Rangoon foI
aid. The total number Of those severe
ly burned is thought to be about TWEEN
ty-fve hundred The loss OF life may
reach 200, and perhaps more.
LATER. The fire broke out at nine
o'clock Wednesday morning and ragged
for fourteen hours. The whole city
was destroyed from China street to Obo
distance of two and half miles.

Weems, Ala.


BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March 31.-The
passenger train Sfor Atlanta, on the
Pacific road, was held up by masked
robbers at o'clock this morning near
Weems, 10 miles east of here. As the
train moved away from the station a
robber boarded the engine aud covered
the engineer with a rifle, compelling
him to stop the train 500 feet away on
trestle.
One man stood guard over the
engineer while several others opened
fire on the inside Of the train in order to
frighten the pasSengere. Another rob-
Der knocked on the door of the mail car
demanding entrance, which was re-
fused. He then broke open the door,
firing at the postal clerk and slightly
wounding him. Every registered letter,
all supposed to contain about $4,000,
was taken. The express car was not
molested.
The robbery was done in few min
utes, in which time several Of the gang
kept firing. Flagman Quincy Adams
was wounded. The engineer said the
robber on the engine was white man,
and the postal clerk says the man who
robbed him was a mulatto. The police
started on the trail Of the robbers with
blood hounds.
The extent OF the loss is not known.
Dogs were procured and a chase began.
The packages which had been torn open
were found 300 yards off, near the place
where the men had been camping. The
robbers got eighty-fve packages OF reg
