THOUSANDS DINNERS cooUT
The Strike In the German Coal Mines
Growing In Importap,a

BERLIN, Jan. 9.-The coal m;ners ~
the Ruhr district show signs of strik
ing in sympathy with the men of the
Saa- district. The agitators from
Saar- Louis have been at work there
for several days, but until yesterday it
was supposed that the Ruhr miners
would resist their appeals. Yesterday
afternoon, however, 5000 miners met
IN Essen and heard with approved ap-
peals to help their oppressed comrades
IN the Saar district. The most violent
denunciations of the employers were
cheered, and one exhortation that the
miners of all Germany should rise,
stand shoulder to shoulder, and wrinr
concessions of their demands from the
capitalists brought the 5000 auditors
to their feet, cheering and waving
their hats. Before adjournment a
resolution to strike tomorrow was
passed unanimously
The cause of these men and the
thousands they are likely to carry out
with them is a desperate one. They
are totally unprepared for even a day
u ioi0hSSS. 1hey are p6nnueSS, ana
have no hope of help from Berliny
London or Brussels. Funds from other
coal districts are also out of the ques-
ton, as the general uneasiness now
prevailing among the miners has rem
dered all too apprehensive for their
own future for them to think of send
ing money to others.
COLOGNE, Jan. Am attempt was
made to blow up the Cologne express
near Bauxel. A dynamite bomb was
placed on the track about three hun
dred yards from the station, but ex-
ploded peematurely. The track was
torn up for twenty yards and the
buildings near by were shaken
on their foundations. The report gave
the alarm, and the train was stopped.
1t is believed that the explosion was
the first gun in the strike of the coal
miners which is expected to begin
early this week.

throughout the country as one of Mr..
Blaine's most inmate friends.

when it was thought Mr.. Blaine was
dying and will be present to comfort

| ment comes.
Members of Mr.. Blaine's family
were greatly relieved this morning
| when day dawned at the capital.
| Through the early morning watches
they had not slept, but remained in
easy call OF the sicll-room, prepared to
be summoned in to witness the closing
of the great life al any moment.
DR.. Johnston, the faithful physician,
| sat by the bedside of the dying states
man most of the night, and a greater
part of the time held Mr.. Blaine's hand
to carefully note any change of pulsa-
ton.
When at last the light of morning
broke on the capital and the doctor
could give hope for another twelve
hours members ofthe family, worn out
: from constant anxiety and watching,
sought rest in few minutes slum Der.
"lllIe III JohHStoh' encouraged Dy the
restful condition of his patient, left
the house rubbing his eyes and went
to his residence for an hour rest.
Most of the time Mr.. Blaine is I'M
conscious Once or twice yesterday,
duriug his serious illness, he spoke
distinctly and intelligently to those
at his bedside, but most of the time he
is not mindful of what is going on
around him.

WILD MARRIAGE SEQUEL.

Young MRS. Brodahead at a Milwaukee
Asylum.
Milwaukee, Jan. 9.-Mrs. Helen Broad
head, an Evanston bride of three
months is said to be an inmate of DR..
McBride's sanitarium. The circumstan-
ces attending her alleged Incarceration
have thrown Chicago society into ex.
element as being the second chapter in
the caree of a beautiful society woman,
the daughter of Mr.. II. B. Cragin, a
wealthy manufacturer of Evanston.
Both chapters are romantic. The first
deals with an elopement Oct. 15 to Mil
waukee, when Miss Helen Craigin be-
came Mrs. Broadhead. The fact of he
marriage was made public only two
weeks ago, and now follows the removal
of the bride by her parents to Dr. Nc
Brides Sanita1ium.
When the husband learned of the mat
ter he created a scene on meeting mis-
Wife'S parents at the depot at Evans
ton 1t was arranged between them
that Mrs. Broadhead should remain for
a time at the Sanitarium.

WANT CARNOT DEPOSED.

De E4esseps Turns Very duplicating
Pocket Book over to Authorities.
Paris Jan. 9.-There are several can
didates for the presidency in the field
who would be delighted to see Garnet
resign.
Charles de Lesseps has given Magis-
trate Franqueville the pocketbook in
which he kept the notes concerning
the relations of the canal company
with many public men. The evidence
is especially important. 1t shows con-
clusively the connection of many SEN
ators and deputies with illegal conspira-
tons of the company. Two celebrated
writer's on economic and international
questions and two ex-ministers are
said to be among those compromised.
The relations are expected to lead to
more developments.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Jan. 9.-Mrs. M
E. Dey, an elderly woman, was run
down by an electric car at the corner
of Holton and Center Streets, receiv-
ing injuries from which she died.
Being deaf, Mrs. Dey did not hear the
warning bell of the approaching car
as she was crossing the street, and the
motor man in charge, supposng she
would not attempt to cross in front of
his car, made no attempt to stop it
until Mrs. Dey was dragged under the
wheels. Her skull was fractured and
she was otherwise mangled, and lived
but few hours after being removed to
her home, No. 1886 Booth Street. The
motor man and conductor of the car
were arrested, but were released on
their own recognizance pending tho

SILVER IN THE SENATE.


Senator Mcpherson Argues for the Repeal
of the Sherman Act.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Nc.
Pherson to-day addressed the Senate
on the joint resolution introduced by
him Dec. 81 directing the Secretary Of
the Treasury to suspend all purchases
of silver bullion under the Sherman
act of 1880 He said that the
Democratic convention at Chicago
denounced the sherman bill as a cow
ardly makeshift and the people
followed that up by giving Grover
Cleveland 100 majority in the electoral
college. The people now wanted tc
know if the pledge for the repeal OF
the law was to be fulfilled. Senator
Hill had introduced repeating
law, but the enemies of sound money
forward the old scheme to foist on the
people the ''dollar of the daddies'' and
open wide the mints. It was time the
people knew how the lawmakers stood
on this subject.
Senator Teller declared, with much
emphasis, that the Sherman law would
not be repealed at this Congress- That,
he said, was morally certain, and those
who desired its repeal might as well
arrange their financial affairs and
their financial views with that full un-
derstanding.
The House committee on banking
and currency has ordered favorable
report on the Andrews bill, with an
amendment offered by Mr.. Cate of Ar
kansas, providing for the coinage OF
all the silver bullion now in the Treas
ury. The bill as reported repeats the
Sherman law for the purchase of
bullion.

Rockford's Bogus savior Said to Be q
Harmless Lunatic.

Harmless Lunatic.
ROCKFORD, H., Jan. 9.-George Jacob
Schwelnfurth, the auburn haired di-
vinity of the Weldon farm is insane
, or at least is pronounced so by
good authority. Helen H. Gar
dener of New York, sometimes called
Heather Helen" the well-known
nov elist and writer on semi-medica
topics who has been visiting in Rock
ford, went to the Weldon heaven yes
terday and sat for an hour at the feet
OF the self-appointed savior pot SO much
TO worship as to analyze. She has ac-
CURED high reputation in matters
pertaining to the brain and with the
various phases of mental disorder. In
pursuing her Investigations in heredity
considerable medical knowledge was
necessary and she studied brain an
atomy for two years with DR.. Spitzka,
the most famous alienlst in the coun-
try.
Being in the West Miss Gardener de-
termined to see Sch weinfurth and in
vestigate so far as possible the mental
characteristics of the man, partially
from semi-Scientihc motives and par
italy with a view TO using his peculiar
institution in her literary work,
either fiction or semi-medical. She
came back Thoroughly convinced that
George Jacob is not a knave but
lunatic; not an object for rage but for
pity. In an interview with a CORE
spondent to-day she stated that be-
yond all question weinfurth is a
mild sort of Iunatic
With reference to the alleged mirac-
ulous births which have occurred at
heaven Miss Gardner said: Il would
say Schwein furth is not a sensual man
| think he believes in his delusion
thoroughly. He might possibly have
been lead into immortality by sup
posed command from above''
Miss Gardeners interview will
create a sensation here. There is
talk Of empaneIing a jury to examine
into the bogus ChriSt's sanity.

CLEVELAND'S ERSONALITY.
1t L. Apt To BE Felt in the silver Acita-


1t L. Apt To BE Felt in the silver Acit.-
Washington, d. O., Jan. 9-The DOW
erful personality of Nh. Cleveland seems
likely to be felt in the silver discussion
members of the house who voted stead
lily for free coinage in the last session
are now quoted as opposed to it, and
willing to suspend the purchase of sill
yer bullion until some agreement can
be reached for the larger use of silver
with the leading nations of Europe
The feeling on this subject has changed
a great deal, even within the past
month. Much of this change is due to
the earnest, intelligent work OF Repre-
sentative Harter, OF Ohio, who has
been urging the business men to eX-
press their real sentiments in reSolu-
tons, petitions and letters to their men,
bers of congress. The fact that the
democratic president is in favor of
suspending further purchases of silver
is also having great weight with those
who wish to be welcomed at the white
house after March f. A majority can
probably be obtained in the house for
stopping the baneful influence of the
silver act of $780, but the chances are
not so good in the senate. Thirty-five
votes in favor IF suspension have been
counted up by friends of the present
adminiStrati ton. The canvass includes a
number of prominent democrats, but
not such senators as Carlisle and Mills,
whom the friends of honest money now
hope to secure. 1t is doubtful, however,
if nine votes can be added to the 80 to
make with the casting vote of Vice
President Morton a sound-money ma
jOrity in the senate.

Mckinley yesterday requested Adjt =
Gen. Pocock to hand in his resigna-

three months. The trouble was
started at the dedication of
the Worlds Fair buildings last
October. 1t is said that Gen.

was the General to her that the Ohio
Gov. Mckinley relieved him of the
command on the second day, placing
Assistant Adjt. Gen. Howe in com

When the party returned to Column

staff officers, and there all of Pocock's
actions were discussed. brigade
formation of Ohio troops is to be eff

all over the State have refused to take
any part in case Pocock has anything
