IN THE DEPTHS OF COAL MINE.

All at once, far ahead, shone lit
tie flame. blurred and difficult OF To-
cation. It was q tiny, indefinite
thing, like wisp-light. We seemed
to be looking at it through a great
fog. Presently there were two of
them. They began to move to and
fro and dance before us.
After a time we came upon two
men crouching where the roof of the
passage came near to meeting the
floor. If the picture could have been
brought to where it would have had
the opposition and the contrast of
the glorious summertime earth, 1T
would have been a grim and CHASTITY
thing. The garments of the men
were no more sable than their faces,
and when they turned their heads to
regard our tramping party, their
eyeballs and teeth shone white as
bleached bones. 1t was like the grin
ming of two skulls there in the shad-
ows The tiny lamps in their hats
made a trembling light that left
weirdly shrouded the movements of
their limbs and bodies. We might
have been confronting terrible spec
tres.
But they said, "Hello, Jim, - to our
conductor. Their mouths expanded
in smiles wide and startling smiles.
In moment they turned again to
their work. When the lights of our
party reinforced their two lamps we
could see that one was busily drill

Yet one had to look closely to un-
derstand that they were not about
to spring at each others threats.
The vague illumination created all
the effect of the snarling of two
wolves.
We came upon other little low
rooted chambers each containing
two men, miner" who makes the
blasts, and his 'laborer," who loads
the coal upon the cars and assists
the miner generally. And at each
place there was this same effect of
strangely satanic smiles and eyeballs

that 1t has been badly treated In having

Didn't DO II and u Suit Follows,
with Possible Sensations.

A suit brought nv Ncsbt V. Daven-
cover 100000, which came to trial to-
day before Judge Freedman. in the
Superior Court. II Is alleged. will bring
out some startling facts concerning the
Cordage Trust.
The plaintiff is a brother OF Joseph Nj
Davenport. formerly confidential
book keeper employed by the Cordage
Trust and the suit is based on a claim
which he assigned to his brother.
The complaint alleges that April 2s,
1892, Joseph NJ. Davenport entered into
an agreement with the defendant by
which he was to give Hulme all the
inside facts concerning the exact finan-
cial condition of the Trust for which
Hume was to give him 500 600 and sell
500 shares of the stock short for his
account.
In accordance with this agreement II
IL alleged that he furnished state
ment showing the dividends as follows

$3.50. 900. Jan. g. 1891. 800, 900; April 3, 1891,

The defense is said to be that the In

WHAT DOES O'BRIEN MEAN?
Warning for Municipal Reform
with Ex-BoodIers for Leaders.


with Ex-BoodIers for Leaders.
II the reformers expect to win in this
campaign they will have to begin work
by retiring certain men from politics
who now assume to head the reform
movement in certain Assembly districts
Two of these men are to be found in
the Anti-Tammany or o'Brien Democ-
racy, and one of them has been nomi-
mated for Alderman by the ex-Sheriff's
followers. The attention of the Cam
paign Committee of the LXX. has al
ready been directed to these men. and
there is a possibility that they will at
once be eliminated from the movement
for reform.
Just what ex-Sheriff O'Brien expected
to gain by putting these men forward
is a mystery to the sincere advocates
of reform, and they are beginning to
suspect that it was done for. the de-
| liberate purpose of injuring the cause
candidates selected by his organization
could not be forced upon the union
| ticket.
On every possible occasion ex-Sheriff
O'Brien has declared his hatred OF Wig
wan methods, denounced the Tammany
| leaders as a gang of thieves. and said
he was willing to make any sacrifice to
save the city from Tammany misrule.
| What his friends and citizens generally
are asking Is, How can he reconcile such
statements with the fact that one leader
in his organization is an ex-convict,
donning the stripes and learning the
lock-step by turning States evidence?

GRACE AGAIN "C0NFERRING."
CONGREGATIONAL and Other Candi-
dates Awaiting the Outcome.

William r. Grace and the other lead
ers of the New York State Democracy
are again wrestling to-day with the
problem who to nominate in the various
Congressional districts tonight.
There is still a decided inclination to
run Tim Campbell in the Ninth, but
the action of Johnny Simpson in cap
turing the Republican nomination Sat
urdaY night, when Tim thought he
had it, has complicated the situation.
Edward ]. Dunphy seems pretty sure

of Patrick Ford, is making hard
fight for 1t. The latter thinks he has

nominations have. already been made.
The few remaining tangles will be
Strengthened out at the same confer

being talked of all around.
Robert Grier Monroe, one OF the state
Democracy leaders, said this morning
that no states had been prepared, and
that the leaders would not be able 70
name the nominees till the conventions
met. .
