Whatever their decision may be there
is likely to be a continuation Of tht

beyond the time set by many at the be-

BAD ON BRECK.
Alleged That Washington Social and Po
Iitical Circles Have Ostracized Him.


LEXINGTON, Ky, Aug. 24.-Judge
Milton ]. Durham, ex-controller of the
treasury nuring Mr.. Cleveland's first
term, said in speech here to the Owens
club, that Colonel Breckenridge was os-
tracized, both socially and politically,
in Washington. He said he had just
returned from a trip east, and that it
was a notorious fact that respectable
people in Washington would cross over
the street to evade him, and that he was
snubbed in the house.
Mr.. Owens made speech to the club,
in which he evaded the statement that
he would support Breckenridge if he
was nominated. Should Breckenridge
win the nomination, many believe that
two thirds of the anti Breckenridge fac
ton will bolt to Republican for con
greSS.

committee Of the spinners' association
met again to consider the strike situa-
ton, 1t was reported that the Kerr
thread mill had made satisfactory terms
with the spinners employed, but the
members declined to say just what they
We're.
1t is believed that the Kerr mill Will
continue paying old wages until the
mixed condition Of things in other con-
Germs is cleared up.
A delegation Of spinners from the
Sanford Spinning company was present
to protest against allowing any reduc-
ton Of wages in that mill The mem
bers said they would strike rather than
work for less wages than they are now
receiving.
The Globe Yarn mil SINNERS were
also present and were very much worked
up on account of the alleged breaking Of
faith with them Oh tie part Of AGENT
Arnold B. Sanford, also president ol ahe
Sanford Spinning company.
Spinners believe the mills can well
afford to pay the old wares on account
of the prosperous condition of the yarn
business as compared, i'll activity, with
cloth manufacturers.
The executive committee v0tCl to
send Acting Secretary O'Donnell to the
mill to interview the agent, ana thar-
is every likelihood Of strike unle.;s con
cessions are made. Conditions at Har

A MINERAL FIND,
1t Was Thought 90 be a Bonanza, But
Turned cut Mere Trash.

Yesterday it was reported that Mrs.
Gallagher, living at l,309 University
avenue, had found remarkable mineral
specimen: one that burned everything it
came in contact with. la these days of
boring and prospecting talk, all such
things are interesting and q reporter Tor
the EAGLE went over 10 see 1t and lnvestl -
gate il. As providence wllled 1t he ran
across Professor Robert Hay, the state
geologist, talking with Mr.. klrkbride
three doors from the very spot where the
mysterious stone was to be seen. The pro
frssor, with his keen scent TOR something
new in geology, entered into the lnvestlga-
ton with spirit. The home of Mrs. Gala
CHER was found, but the magic stone had
been taken over to McCormlck's real
estate office and the professor and the re-
porter followed it. the latter, at least. be-
ing spurIed on by the hope of being the
first TO announce to the world famous
discovery. The professor was not so
sanguine. Mrs. Gallagher told him that
while she was out at her farm near Oat-
vile she found the stone and brought it
home and put il in cabinet, laying 1t on
some photographs. In few days her
daughter found it in the cabinet,
and it had burned hole clear
through three photographs and
left its mark on the oak besides. It was
then wrapped up in piece of the EAGLE
and burnt a hole through four thicknesses
of the paper.
After hearing this story Professor Hay
borrowed the reporters pencil, wrote
something on sheet of paper, and then
said, Il have written what l think that
stone is, and / will show IL to you after in-
specting it,"
Mr.. McCormick's office was reached and
there was a congress of local scientists and
prospectors in session over the stone, IN
Guiding Colonel Jocelyu, +. L. Allen, w.
u. Mccormick and others.
Professor Hay smelt it and tasted it and
looked closely through the right corner of
his eye-glass through it. He put it down,
DIR ew out the little paper he had written
what the stone was and all dreams van
ished. Iron pyrites in dampness does
burn through things when it is decompos-
ing. IL is found everywhere, principally
in old slack coal and is worth nothing.
