taken into the drydock yesterday with all her

which has been uncertain for years,

at others for the opposition. But it
is very probable that this year it
will cast it's vote for the Republic.

Mrs. Martha Kimball.

Mrs. Martha G. Kimball, who origin
ated the general custom of decorating
the graves of soldiers of the war; died
at her home in Philadelphia a short
time ago as the result of surgical
operation. She was "a years old and
native of Portland, Me-, her maiden
name being Bowen. Before the war
she married Henry s. Kimball of Bos-
ton, who was appointed treasury
agent and assigned the duty of APP
praising all cotton seized by the
union forces. His wife accompanied
him and her work in the hospitals led
General Sherman to appoint her chief
inspector of hospitals and to allow her
to travel at will. She was the only
woman present when the stars and
stripes were hoisted again over Fort
Sumter, and helped Secretary Stanton
to pull up the flag. She was twice
shipwrecked during the war.
After the restoration of peace she
was so touched by what she had seen
of the decoration of graves in the
South that she brought the matter
before General Logan and induced
him as commander in chief of the
Grand Army of the Republic to issue
an order establishing a memorial day,
which order went into effect May 80,
1868. Mrs. Kimball had many staunch
friends among the generals of the war
and public men generally, and George
w. Childs once said of her: "She has
done more good deeds and said more
kind words than any other woman /
have ever known" Among her col
lection of war relics was the original
plan of Andersonville prison and the
chair that j efferson Davis used when
he was president of the Confederate
states. A Confederate battle flag pre-
scented her by a Northern regiment
was returned by her in 1878 to it's
original owner through Senator Hill
of Georgia.

ILLINOIS MINING CONFERENCES
COMES TO NOTHING.
Big Mine Owners Stay Away from
Springhcid-The Consolidated Coal
Company Holds the Key to the situa-
tion-Quiet at Minonk,

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, May 80. Illinois
holds the key to the mining situation,
and the Consolidated Coal company
holds the key to Illinois. This is the
sum and substance of the conference
between the national officers of the
United Mine Workers and the central
and southern Illinois operators held
here yesterday. The executive com
mittee expresses itself as willing and
ready to settle and call off the strike
whenever the Illinois operators can
agree among themselves upon an
amicable arrangement of differences
existing, and the operators say they
are willing to settle upon any reason
able basis whenever the Consolidated
Coal company Will agree to join with
them, but otherwise they can not
make any overtures nor accept any
proposition which will place them in
competition with this powerful cor
poration.
1t is needless to say that the Con-
solidated Coal company was not rep
re sented at the conference, and the
operators who were present from all
parts of the state, but principally from
the southern and central fielos, were
unanimous in their statements that
the prices paid by this company,
which controls eighty-three coal
mines in southern Illinois and the
prices paid ut Pana, where 1900, 900
tons of coal are being mined annually
at 20 cents per ton, must form the
basis of wages unless these operators
could be induced to subscribe to n
more equitable schedule Many of the
operators took occasion while making
these statements to express their APP
prevail of the course Of President
Ridgely of the Consolidated company.
The conference was largely at
tended, about 125 operators being
present The whole afternoon was
spent in lively discussion, and the
result was call for a meeting Of op-
orators to be held in this city Thurs.
day of this week to consider the ques-
ton of scale of wages. The whole
question of the speedy settlement of
the strike seems now to hinge on
whether or not the Consolidated Coal
company shall consent to be present
at the operators conference Thurs
day.
The Pittsburg Press telegraphs Gov
Altgeld to ask if he will join with the
government Of Pennsylvania, West
Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and Iowa as II
board of arbitration to take measures
to adjust the coal strike The propo-
sition is said to have originated among
heavy consumers and operators Gov
Altgeld is in Chicago and the telegram
has been for warded to him.
