MINISTER'S AFTER DEPEW.

They Demand That He Retract De-
rOgatOry Statements.
New YORK, Jan. 15.-Dr Chauncey
n. Depew was roundly denounced at a
meeting of the Methodist ministers of
this CITY and this vicinity in the rooms of
the Methodist book concern. Their con-
Germ was for the stigma the doctor had
cast on the ministers by recent inter-
view wherein he defended the action of
the railroads in Withdrawing the half
rate privileges from clergymen.
DR.. A j. Palmer. pastor of st. PauPs
M. E. church, SAID that Dr. Depew should
be asked to retract his statement that
ministers misused their privileges and
that many of them had even sold half
rate tickets to scalpers, thus defrauding
the company.
DR.. Palmer demanded that Dr. Depew
furnish the society with the names of
the offending ministers, SO that the
alleged cul rirs may be tried at the con-
ferences of their coddjutors.
The Rev. Ferdinand G. Iglehart said
that DR. Depew's uterance against the
ministers Was made merely to reconcile
the politicians whose passes were taken
away by the recent amendments to the
constitution.

He Says There are No Indications OF Bet
ter Times This Year.
NEW YORK, Jan 10. For a number of
years Samuel Benner has issued annu-
ally prophecy in regard to various mar
kets during the ensuing year. His pro-
pheces have been right in a sufficient
number of cases to create curiosity as to
what he would say. His forecast for
1894 declared that there would be 'con-
tinued EN- barras5ed business, bankrupte d
manufacturers, unemployed labor and
ruined farmers"
For 1895 he says: "There is 10 prom

ever since 1873 values have been
shrinking in consequence of the estab-
Iishment of the single gold standard and
no one can fathom the depths to which
prices will fall.
There is no evidence that we are at
the lowest point of depression. There is
no property except gold, which is not

country this year with fair crops abroad

RUSH OF WATERS
Causes the Burial of Hundreds
WOrkmen
In a Big Coal Mine in Stat
fOrdshire.
WORK OF RESCUE
In Progress and $50 Persons
Have Been Taken Out.
Sorrow Stricken Wives and
Daughters Surround the Pit.

LONDON, Jan. 15.-Throughout the
night relays of men have worked desper-
ately at the Dig lake colliery, Audley,
North Staffordshire, where large num-
Der of miners were entombed at about
noon yesterday by a sudden rush of
waters from the old workings.
By o'clock yesterday $50 men and
boys employed in the mine had been
rescued OF those who remained below,
it was thought that twenty were in the
lower workings when the mine was
flooded and that they were drowned.
From the time the disaster was sig
nailed, the rescuers have been doing
their utmost to save those who may re-
main alive and to recover the bodies of
the drowned.
The work of rescue, however, has not
made much progress, and it is now be-
lieved there are still between 80 and 1870
men and boys in the mine.
The sorrow-stricken wives, daughters
and other relatives of the Imprisoned
miners have been gathered around the
pit head ever since the news of the dis
aster reached them. There they have
been patiently facing the bitterly cold
wind since shortly after noon yesterday
and many of them have been without
food since that time.
All of them brought dry clothes for
the men and they stand in groups hop
ing and praying for the safety of those
dear to them. The water SO constantly
fuctuates that the rescuers are well nigh
discouraged
They found the bottom of the shaft
! choked with piles of timber swept there
| by the torrents of water which poured
into the mine. All of this timber must
be removed before the entombed men
! can be reached. But the ceaseless pump
ing does not seem to materially affect the
| continuous flood of water.

Chicago Again Draws on Topeka for Tai
emit and Ability.
The Santa Fe is a Kansas road. The
larger part of its mileage is in this state,
and here some of the leading railroaders
of the country have had their training.
What more natural, then, when an i'm
portant place is to be filled than to send
to Topeka for talent?
Mr.. White and MIR. Peck went to Chi
cago some time ago to manage the enor-
nous interests pertaining to the pas
senger and legal departments of the
greatest railroad on EARTH" MIR.
Gleed is an active and honored
member of the board of directors,
Wi seat next to throne-and now
comes the news that on February lst,
Mr.. g. T. Nicholson. general passenger
agent, will move his private office to
Chicago. from that great center to assist
Mr. White in keeping the A T. & S. F.
to the front.
The change is in the nature of a pro-
motion, to the extent that Mr.. Nicholson
will be closer in touch with the directin e
forces of this vast system of roads. He
has long been recognized as a wide
gauge, large Drained official. whose
judgment on traffic matters was always
impersonal, keen and trustworthy. His
transfer is the logic of events-for big
industries always demand big men to
manage them.
While Mr.. Nicholson's many Kansas
friends will be sorry to have him depart,
the JOURNAL is glad to announce that the
passenger department as a whole will re-
main in Topeka. The force is not likely
to be decreased, even if few employees
should be Withdrawn for service else
where. Mr.. w. j. Black, as assistant
general passenger agent, will continue
actively in charge of the santa Fe's bust

peculiarly well fitted for the work, being

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 15.-It is common
report that the great estate of 100000
left by the late James G. Fair will be
fought for in the courts.
The model will, drawn with the pur-
pose to be secure from attack, is to be
assaulted with all the force of legal in
genuity, backed by large capital and the
glittering promise of huge reward if
success crowns the work.
The plan of attack has not been
changed, as the will is regarded as in
vincible in form. The contest must be
based either on the Influences that con-
trolled the man who made it or his men,

document that sought to tie up his pro-
perty in a trust until all of his children
shall die.
Charles L. Fair will make the contest
In case he should be unsuccessful his
sisters will guarantee him the income he
would receive according to the will. If
the will is sustained and Charles is ex-
cluded from any benefit because he made
the contest the income provided for him
will be diverted to his sisters. They can
simply hand it back to him.
Practically therefore, the three heirs
at-law, have the same purpose. All want
the will set aside, because of the trust
depriving them of any control of the
property during their lives. 1t is stated
that The contest will develop certain
phases in the dead millionaire's life that
have hitherto been concealed from the

20, 1895.
WHEREAS, The Rev. ]. H. Boggess
has been pastor of the Congregational
church of Cresco for the past eighteen
months, during which time he has
been inefficient as pastor by his con-
tinued neglect of pastoral and other
church work devolving upon him;
and whereas, he has proven himself
unworthy of the confidence and re-
spect of Christian people and the pub
lie in general, by his personal habits
and example, by being untruthful in
his statements, unreliable in his prom.
ises, and dishonest in his financial
dealings to the extent that the citi.
zens of Cresco and vicinity are the
losers to the amount Of several hun
dred dollars, and

facts the trustees of the Congrega-
tional church and society have asked

be published in the secular aud relig

A young fellow from Wisconsin was
looking for fair of kid gloves at G..

took the opportunity when the clerks
attention was turned, to pocket a
pair. Strangely enough he failed to
find any that would suit him, then he
sought for a cap which was shown
him, but he finally declined to buy.
The clerk then urged him to have a
pair of gloves, but he concluded not
to take any, and when about to leave
the store the proprietor was called
and told that the chap had a pair
worth $l.50 in his pocket. He dis.
gorged $2 90 and finally took the
gloves with him.
