rejoicing and approval could not have
been much more demonstrative II peace
had just been declared after 8 prolonS-
ed and bloody war. Indeed it was a
war in which the disastrous results, II
continued, would have done the King
dom as much damage as an open
ruetion with any Of the great nations.
Another four months OF he strike
would have completely paralyzed every
industry, discontinued nearly all inter-
nal and external commerce, driven
thousands to starvation, and have lorced
trade to other nations.
1t is rather q sad commentary upon
the good sense and foresight Of man,
when he will go plunging headlong Into
overwhelming calamity. The leaders
on both sides of the contention little
dreamed how the prosperity and happi-
ness of a great people could be almost
DESTROYED and the country turned into
a waste; with swarms OF people iamish-
ing and rioting, and all because q single
industry had ceased to operate. Truly 1t
NAV be said that mining OF Goals Is the
foundation of Britain's greatness, Tor all
else seems to depend on 1t. so after
all It is little wonder that the gov
eminent asked to become a me-
diator in an effort at settlement. A
novel spectacle. certainly, but at the
same time rejecting great credit upon
the Prime Minister and his coadJutors.
There are times, conditions and differ
ences, though rarely, let US hope, When
only the Intervention OF the Govern
ment IN a judicious way can amicaoly
reconcile and settle labor disputes.
Then why should it not interfere? The
precedent established by the English
makes it no longer an impossibility.

the city with that name which l know,
and there may be more. There is Don
egal Street,
DONEGAL Pass, DONEGAL PLACE,
Donegal lane, Donegal Square, east,
north, west and south. 1t is plain that the
and the owners thereof, have been
objects of note in the history OF Belfast.
The old Donegal castle stood but a short
distance from the center OF the city in
the early days Of the century, and
much of the city is owned by the de-
scendants Of this noble family, a branch
of which, Lady SALISBURY, now occu-
pies the new Donegal Castle, a most
~pretentious modern edihce situate in

OF Cave Hill. 1t has a commanding

1t may DO Of interest to refer TO the

through the Intervention Of the Imperial
Government, o brief account Of which
YOU have had by wire. II endured four
months, aud was the most far-reaching
aud disastrous in its consequences that
was ever known in the history OF the
trade. In Belfast soft coal, much in
ferior to the West Virginia black dia-
monds, has been selling as high as So. 50
per ton. In London it sold as high as
ten dollars. The widespread gloom
and hardship, and even desolation,
csused by these prices at the beginng
of winter cannot be understood in
America. 1t was not alone the abject
Doyerty to which the miners were re-
duced, but the same conditions were
rapidly spreading among all the poor
industrial classes, who, from the search
" and high price of coal, were being
thrown out Of employment. Mills and
factories were shutting down every
where, and CONSERVATION and terror
and dependency prevailed. In Bel
fast where the situation was not
as bad as in many English and Scotch
cities. the mills were preparing to shut
down: people depending on their labor,

SUTTON, W. VA, December 23.-The
Circuit Court Of Braxton county ad-
iourned last Wednesday evening till
the 4th Of January, when an already
unusually large session will be con-
tinued. Court has already lasted about
four weeks, and will be continued sew
eral days longer after the holidays.
Judge Bennett has been quite Ill at his
home In Weston for q week or two, and
was unable to hold court himself. r.
G. Linn and w. W.. Brannon were ap-
pointed special judges.
The criminal docket contained TWEEN
ty or thirty cases, all of which were
tried, and an excellent record made by
Prosecuting Attorney w. e. K. Byrne,
who failed to convict In but two OF the
cases he prosecuted. There we're but
two cases Of special interest. Readers
of the REGISTER will remember an I'M
fortunate family affair In the lower part
OF this county some time ago, which
led TO the shooting OF VIM. Mollohan
and Russell Sarver, by each other.
Both were dangerously wounded, but
recovered. Nothing was done with
Mollohan, about whose wife the trouble
arose, but Sarver was tried, found
guilty OF unlawful shooting, and SEN
fenced to three months in Jail. Sam. j..
Belknap was convicted Of stealing a
fleece or two OF wool from a neighbours
stable, but was not sentenced. In both
his case and Sarver's, motions were
tlade for new trials, which are still
pending, owing to the sickness OF the
Judge. Belkrap is worth several thou
sand dollars, and that he should steal
a few pounds Of wool was quite q sur
prise to his acQuaintances.
Near Centralia last April a tender on
the West Virginia and Pittsburg rail-
way jumped the track and was over
turned, blocking the track so as to pre-
vent travel. A gang OF men was put 10
work TO remove the obstruction, when
the heavy iron bottom OF the tender fell
and mashed three men beneath il. One
was killed and two badly injured. Dam
age suits Fave been brought against the
railroad and a verdict OF 81, 100 was rem
deIed at the present term 10 favor Of
John Lloyd who was injured. VIM.
Skidmore, the other injured man, has a
suit pending ana the administrator Of
j. v. Denison, who was killed, has sued
for $1,000 1t is probable that the
Lloyd case will be appealed.

guess work. Very likely not long after

existed at very remote period. Probably
not so far back as In the days Of JoSeph'S

in its way, was the exit at quitting time,
OF the hands OF one Of these large
mills. The streets for squares
we're literally filed with work peo-
pie, ranging in age from
nine 20 sixty wears. The sad feature or

There are some 5000 children, two
