DOWN GO THE COAL MINERS WAGES
Coal Operators in the Clearileld Dis
trict Make Reduction OF 5 Cents
in the Wage Scale.

The operators in the Clearfeld dis
trict of Pennsylvania have taken the
initiative in reducing the price OF
coal mining. The Bell. Lewis &
Yates Mining company has posted a
notice that after November Is the
rate in it's mines shall be reduced 5
cents per ton, from 40 to 35. About
1000 miners are affected and there
is talk of strike. The Berwind
White mining company in the same
district, employing 5000 men, will
probably follow this example of re-
duction, and general lowering OF
the scale rate in the district will re-
suit. The reason given by the Clear
field operators for the cut is that coal
is being mined cheaper in this dis
trict.

A FIGHT FOR LIFE.
"A Minister Has a Thrilling Bxperi-

Rev. Frederick S. Seckerson, as
sstant pastor of the Clinton avenue
Congregational church, Brooklyn,
had thrilling experience with
burglar one night this week, narrow

noise, and saw a man stealthily NOV

man picked up a revolver which lay
conveniently by on his dressing case
and sprang to the floor. The burg
lar made lunge at him with bow
lie knife, the blade puncturing the
fleshy part of his arm, inAicting an
ugly wound. The men grappled and
had a hand to hand struggle for life.
The clergyman managed to shoot the
man, who released his grasp and
staggered toward the open window,
through which he made his escape.
The preacher fired second shot at
him as he retreated. The police lat
er found trail of blood where the
burglar escaped, but have not yet
captured him. The clergyman's

A WOMAN'S DREADFUL EXPERIENCE.
Mrs. Sherman's Dress Is Caught
In tho Shafting at the Empire
Mills Near Boxemau,

The Empire mills, near Spring
Hill about II miles from Bozeman,
says the Avant Courier, formerly
owned by Geo. D. Thomas, few
months ago passed into the hands of
Mrs. II. &. Sharman of'Three Forks
through a mortgage held by her.
Since that time Mrs. Sharnan has
been experimenting the business.
Saturday afternoon while making
the rounds of the mill, in passing an
upright shaft on the upper floor of
the building, Mrs. Sharman's dress
was caught by the shaft, which re-
wolves about thirty times a minute,
and at every revolution she was
whirled around by the shafting.
A young lady who was present
tried in vain to pull Mrs. Sharman
loose from the machinery, and
young man who came to her assist.
ance also made a desperate and fruit
less attempt to loosen the dress. See
ing this was impossible the young la
Idy ran to the lower floor and got the
miller to stop the mill, while the
young man endeavored to keep the
apparently lifeless body of Mrs.
Sharman from being threshed to
pieces against the surrounding wood
work.
When the shaft ceased its motion
the dress was loosened and messen-
ger dispatched to Bozeman for doc
tor. Mrs. Sharman recovered CON
sciousness shortly after being releas-
ed from the horrible position, and
from . to Sp. m. lay with one hip
thrown out, and enduring the pain of
bruises which covered her entire
body.

The first election in the new re-
public of Hawaii was a failure from
political point of view. On this
principal island only one man ran
against the government ticket and
he was defeated. Every candidate
was pledged to vote for annexation
to the exclusion of every thing else.
This was the platform of the Ameri-
can union party. 1t is hardly likely
that the Legislature will be called to-
until after January |.

WHARTON BARKER
OUT FOR SILVER,
He Writes to Mckinley and
States What the Protection
lists Demand.
HIS SCHEME FOR THE WHITE METAL.
Protection and Bi-Metallism
Must Go Hand in Hand. To
Coin Home Product Only.

A Philadelphia dispatch Of Nov.
16 says: Wharton Barker has
written an open letter to Governor
Mckinley asking him to publicly
state his views on the money ques-
ton, and at the same time suggest
ing that the republican campaign of
1896 "be made for American protec-
ton and American bimetallism,' .
against British free trade and Brit
ish monometallism. Barker sup-
gests a plan for the re-establishment
OF silver in our coinage, which he be-
lieves the only safe one for the
United States to adopt without an
international agreement. 1t is, first,
that the United States admit silver
bullion from American mines in
coinage in mints upon the payment
by the seigniorage absorbing three
fourths of the difference between the
market London) price of the bullion
and its value when coined; second,
silver be admitted only for coinage
purposes at seigniorage absorbing all
differences between the market Lion
dom price and it's value when coined.
He concludes his letter as follows:
"The manufacturer, a Journal pub
lished every Saturday under the di-
rection of the publication COMMITTEES
of the Manufacturers club of Phila-
delphia, a most prominent and inAu-
entail body, has placed at the head
of the editorial page this declaration
of faith: "The signboard of 1896:
The road toprosperity, 'Protection-
bimetallism.'"

FOR GRIM YISAGED WAR.
Mexico in Shape to Give Guatemala
. Trouncing. Tho Preparations In
'sa dictate That There VIII He No
Fooling About it When Hostilities
Actually Begin.

A late dispatch from Commitan,
Mex, says: New troops have arrived
and taken station covering the line.
There is the strongest possible feel
ing here in favor of war with Guate-
mala. The Champana people are
willing to shoulder muskets, and
many of them have made offers to
the government for arms for war
purposes.
The people of the Guatemalan
frontier are more bitter in their COM
plants against the Guatemalan gov
ernment which has lately relieved all
the authorities who were from this
section and has appointed people
from the interior to fill their posi-
tions, and an uprising is imminent
An agent of the Guatemalan gov
ernment is here trying to purchase
horses for cavalry. The Tenth Mex
lean infantry covers the frontier, and
besides the new national guard has
it's headquarters here.
The 10Th infantry has embarked
on gunboats to 60 to Tobasco. a
hundred and fifty thousand cartridges
have been shipped south within the
last few weeks. The Fourth infan
try is expected here in few days to
go to Tobasco also.
A dispatch from the City of Mex
leo says the national arms factory
at that place IS turning out cartridges
as fast as possible. The hustle is
noticeable in the war department.
This is giving rise to many rumors.
1t is rumored Assistant Secretary of
War Escudero is going TO Vera Cruz
within few days to see about better
transportation for the troops to the
Guatmalan frontier.
A dispatch from Mazatlan, Mex,
says: The steamship Jandrow is
now ready to take on her new arma-
ment and it is reported she will i'm
mcdiately get ready to take ] ,OOO
soldiers to the Guatemalan frontier
from Acapulco.
The greatest enthusiasm exists
among the people in favor of war
The government has been asked to
accept volunteers. Societies have
been organized who will tender theil
services to the state and federal gov.
ernment and expect to be sent to the
front. A number of GutemalaI
spies are known to be on the frontier
and near the military camps, but SC
far no attention has been paid Il
them except to order them away.

Like a Snake About Her Neck.

The doctors of the children's ward at
Bellevue hospital, New York city, have
under their care a patient who bears a
most peculiar birthmark. The patient is
Seraphina Sciaolina, the2 year-old daugh-
ter Of an italian laborcr. The child was
admitted to the hospital to be treated for
broken leg. On her neck is the mark,
which resembles a partially coiled snake
The head is like that Of a rattlesnake and
rests just below the center of the collar
bone. The body Of the snake extends up
ward in two coils under the chin and
across the neck. The: tail, after crossing
the center of the right ear, ends at the
lobe Of the ear. The birthmark is of
slightly raised grayish brown cuticle that
resembles scales. 1t is about IS inches
long,
The childs mother attributes the BIRTH
mark Indirectly to a fright she once got
Her father was a boat1nan, and she
often helped him to unload cargoes of
fruit. One day about year before her
marriage she was assisting him when a
small brown colored snake sprang from a
pile of fruit and tried to coil about her
arm. She shook it off, but the sight of the
snake brought on an attack of Mysteries
Since that time the sight of snake will
PROSTATE her, and she has often dreamed
that snake was crawling on her arm.
That happened several times just before
Seraphina was born, and at that time she
was made ill for two days by the shock of
seeing some snakes in a dime museum.

elected to represent Brown and Nemeha
counties in the first Free State legisla-
ture that ever met in the state and took
conspicuous part in repeating the
"bogus'' laws that had been enacted
by nonresidents, the purpose of which
was to prevent the growth of the Free
State party and to aid in the perpetual
ton of slavery. In January, 1858, Mr..
Morrill, was elected member of the
legislature under the Lecompton consti-
tuition.
During all Of the exciting political
battles Of that period Morrill, contin-
ued to operate his sawmill In 1851 he
enlisted in the Seventh Kansas cavalry
as private and served till Oct. 20,
1864, when he was mustered out as a
brevet major.
He returned to Brown county and
made his home at Hiawatha, where he
has resided ever since He at first en-
gagged in general mercantile business
and in 1871 established bank. He
served as clerk Of the district court and
was twice elected to the state senate.
In 1882. he was elected congressman for
the state at large and was thrice re-
elected as a representative from the
First district declining denomination
and retiring to private life in 1890. In
Speaker Reeds congress he was chair
man Of the pensions committee and di-
rected all the pension legislation. He is
the author Of the pension law now in
force which bears his name. Major

~, Me-, Feb. 10, 1884, and was edu-
Gated at Westbrook academy. II early
life he taught school and learned the
trade Of q tanner.
