An Ohio Militiaman Disgreoed for
Sinking When Duty Called.
Columbus, o.. Oct. 9.-The penalty of
cowardice is being visited upon Private
Dearth, o member of Company c, Four
teenth regiment, Ohio National Guard, in
a peculiar manner. When the regiment
was ordered by Gov. Mckinley into active
service in Belmont county to subdue the
riotous miners in June last, Dearth left
the city and succeeded in successfully elu-
ding the commanding officers, A court
martial found Dearth guilty and he was
dishonorably discharged from the ser
vice and sentenced to fifteen days inn
prisonment The authorities, not wish
ing to send the man to jail, erected a pen
six by nine feet in the center of the ar
mory building and Dearth is now serving
his time under the eye of a guard. He is
not allowed to leave the little pen even
for exercise, and his presence in the impro-
Vised prison serves as a warning to others
who regard lightly their obligations as
soldiers when entering the service of the
state.

KICKING Ar NEW BEDFORD.
The Spinners May Repudiate the Work
Of Their Qnrnrnitfea.


New Bedford, Oct. 9.-This afternoon
brings discouraging developments in the
textile situation. The strike, which it
was thought was happily ended, may yet
be prolonged. There is a sentiment of
dissatisfaction among many spinners to-
day in regard to the work of the confer
ence committee. Much fault is found in
particular with that part of the COM
promise accepting the Fall River result
as final. There are rumors this afternoon
of papers being in circulation among the
members of the union repudiating the
work of the committee. A reporter this
afternoon was unable to find one of these
papers, or any one who had signed them
or seen them, but his inquiries revealed
a very general feeling of unrest. A well
informed northern man said this after
noon that IL looked doubtful If the spin
neTs returned to work Thursday.
Secretary Hart of the Weavers Union,
says he has heard of the paper, although
he has not seen it. He adds that there is
a good deal of dissatisfaction among spin
ners at the south end Of the city over the
action of the conference committee.

in the region. The colllery is operated

his death was caused by his efforts to
notify the workmen in the mine of their
danger. Everybody was warned, and all
started for safety, but the four named
as missing became cor fused and lost their
way in the smoke. Burlington gave out
thirty feet from the air shaft.
This morning a consultation was held
by the officials and the advisabihty of
attempting to rescue the enclosed men

that the efforts would be worse than use
less, as 1t would certainly result in the
death of some of the rescuing party.
