had agreed to build the shanty Monday.
During their conversation Rlvet ex-
pGlned that he would have large pack

his gun up to his house the next day.
(Rivet states that he also asked for car
tridges and told him that he had shells
but no powder, but would get some the
next day and would load the shells and
bring them down to Mastau's house when
he came. Mastau said he had some pow
der and told Rivet TO load the shells. He
said 'load them good aud load them with
buckshot."l

Sturgeon river as for as Fishers place

Gnillion brought him across the river

Went back to Fishers at IL o'clock and
then over to Larant's place where he
planted his apple trees and opened pit
where he had turnips and potatoes bur-

MuNc1E, Ind, JAN %, 1S94.-Colonel <.
L. Conger, the millionaire manufacturer OF
Ohio. was in Muncie Saturday LOCKING after
his manufacturing interests. In an interview
as to the prospects for manufacturers, especl-
ally the iron interests, the Colonel said
'sBusiness in fact is improving throughout
the country since the first of the year, and
confidence is being restored. The old stock
of the mills and factories throughout the
country is being consumed, and the mills are
now getting started on better basis than
at any time for years. In a short time
l predict that the wheels will again be
moving, and season of prosperity will re-
turn
He did dot speak of the Wilson bill, but
intimated that the general overproductlon
was, in the main, the cause of the great de-
preston in manufacturing. Muncie has
eight glass factories and nine iron and steel
industries working full time, with the White
ley Maleable Iron Works and Muncie Iron
and Steel Works about ready to start.

MITCHELL BLUfFInG.
Members Of the Duval Club
Positive He Will Stand Up
Before Corbett.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Jan. g. 1S94.-The
excitement and dismay created by last nights
news that Mitchell had practically refused
to fight in the woods, has given way to be-
lief that Mitchell's assertions are only an ex-
hibition of his crankiness.
Before the Mitchell-Sullivan match in
France, the Englishman made so many erratic
objections and protests that several days be-
fore the fight even money was bet in London
that he would not appear in the ring.
MITCHELL BLUFFING.
One of the Duval Club members told one
Of the United Press representatives today
that in his opinion Mitchell is making a
bluff which viii end by his demanding some
additional money for expenses.
The club blames Mitchell for having shown
its letter to him in which he was informed of
the arrangements made for a car to take him
to the battle ground. 1t is claimed that it
was in that way that the news of the new
difficulty leaked out
This scolding on the part of the club mem
bers is probably only an exhibition of their
highly nervous frame of mind, for, no mat
ter what other hitch arises that Mitchell
may be justly blamed with, he certainly did
not disclose the present trouble to the news
paper men.
That was done by President Bowden him
self in the st. James Hotel, in public and
emphatic manner late last night, when he
was being subjected to rather searching
cross-examination at the hands of the news

Gratis It a remarkable fact that in the

three, offices paying salaries.

another political Pooh-bah who would be

Inspector of the State Prison. Mahlon

Taxes for Trenton, both pay ing good salaries.

There are large number of these dual

pected that they will make a strong oppo-
sition to the bill.

BERLIN, Jan. %, 1S93.-Abeut o'clock this

day. The five places in which the meetings
were held were filled to their utmost cap a.

bers of the Reichstag presided at the meet
ings: Herren Singer, Schmidt, Vogtherr,
Liebknecht and Fischer. The proceedings
in each of the halls began at noon. The
police were present in great force, but were
stationed out of the view of those in the
halls. The demeanor of the crowds was ex-
cellent The men who were not able to find
places in the halls were allowed to assemble
in groups in the stree is, the police making
no attempt to interfere with them.
At all the meetings the proceedings were
about the same. Resolutions were adopted
declaring that the Government ought to i'm
mediately undertake the construction of pub

The resolutions also declared that eight hours
should be a maximum days work for all
Government workmen.
The conduct of the police in attacking the

A RATHER LATE DISCOVERY.
Two Vetoes of Director Bruggemann
That Are Effective.


Director or-at-Large Bruggemann, of the
Board of Freeholders, has recently present
ed two very important vetoes to the board.
The first veto was in relation to the Boule-
ward bridge over the Pennsylvania Railroad
cut. AS THE NEWS has published, the
board, by majority vote, decided to build
a one-span bridge. Director Bruggemann
vetoed the resolution, alleging, as principal
reason for such action, that more economi-
cal sort of bridge could be built,
The other veto prohibits the Consolidated
Traction Company from running double
tracks over the new iron bridge on the
Newark turnpike.
These two vetoes have brought to a ma
jority of the Freeholders knowledge of law
that they never dreamed of. 1t had been
supposed by them that the vetoes, when pre-
sented, were to be laid over to be acted upon
at a subsequent meeting, as is the case in
nearly, if not all, other similar boards. To-
case. That under the law of 1891, Chapter
246, Section 4, giving the Director veto
powers, it is plainly set forth that if the veto
is not acted upon at the meeting when it is
received, it remains in full effect and cannot
be acted upon by the board at any subsequent
meeting. At this meeting when the
two vetoes were read. no motion was made
to adopt the resolutions, notwithstanding
the Directors vetoes, and, therefore, the
vetoes are final. The only way the friends
of single span bridge over the railroad cut,
and those in favor of a double track across
the iron bridge can now bring the matter up
is by beginning as if no resolutions had ever
been presented, thereby making the question
an entirely new one. If this should be done,
it is more than probable that the veto power
of the Director Large would be again ex-
erciSed

Tribune from Jacksonville, Fla, says:-"Un-

will be arrested on charge of burglary"
said Chris Meyer, wholesale merchant and
ship owner last night. "He and his gang
have broken into my cottage at Mayport,
damaged the walls and furniture and I
propose to have satisfaction or put the men
in Jail" Mr.. Meyer was angry. His cottage at
Mayport is one of the prettiest there and is well
furnished. Two or three days ago he heard
that he had Corbett fer tenant He was
surprised and yesterday went out to investi-
gate. He walked into the door he had left
locked some weeks and found whole crowd
lounging ON his sofas and in his armchairs.
''WelI, like this" he said, addressing no
one in particular. "When l rent house l
generally give my tenant the key" Then he
walked out again and took an inventory of
the damage. One door had been forced open,
two or three window shutters torn from
their fastenlngs and the furniture was, as
he put it, fused up awful" Then the irate
man had an interview with Brady,
in which he demanded 800 for rent and $500
for damages Brady tried to throw the
responsibility ON Archie Harmon President
of the Mayport road saying that he had told
them it was all right to go in and take pos
session. This Mr.. Harmon denies.

levy on Corbett's training outfit" said Mr..
Meyer. II shall also swear out a warrant
charging him with burglary. Ii he will not
settle I will have him arrested | have re-
tanned Judge Gibbons as my attorney. He
has similar claim against Corhett and his
party, they breaking into his house. The
officer with the warrants will leave for May

morning of large steamer.
In answer to her s'H K" signal (boat in
distress), he and his crew have gone to her
assistance. Nothing definite can yet be OBJ
tanned in regard to the name of the vessel
and its passengers.
The vessel lies about one.and quarter
miles north of Little Beach and about a mile
and quarter off shore, being closer to Lit
tie Beach station than to Little Egg harbor.
She came ashore last night or early this
morning during the heavy fog which exist
ed, and lies head on, having apparently been
driven further up by the flood tide

In addition to the distress signal this morn
ing she flew the ''H V. u. flag, signifying
that contagious sickness was on board.
Owing to the washing down of the flag
staff at Little Beach last night by the high
tide, that station has no means of commune
cation with the vessel by way of flags.
