Giant Powder Exploded.

LEADvILLE, Sept. 26.-Sixty-fve
pounds of giant powder exploded this
afternoon in the Belgian mine in
Adelaide park, five miles from this
city, killing six miners and fatally in
iuring two. Ten miners were at work
in the drifts at the time, and it is be.
lieved that a miner carrying powder
from one draft to another, let it fall
and the explosion caused a cavein.
The six were instantly killed. Help
was sent from the city as soon as the
report of the explosion was received
and the dead and injured were brought
to the surface. The only miner who
can tell how the explosion occurred
was brought to the city tonight SO bad:
ly injured thathe cannot talk and will
die. The six bodies were brought to
the morgue and were identified as fol,
lows: Clark McGinnis, John Ham
mill, James 81. Gray, Ed Kuhen
Chris Phillips, John Baggs.

Courtesy to Children.

Harper's Bazaar very truly says that
all the training and disciplining in
the world, if given in the form of ar:
bitrary directions and commands, will
not. make children well l-bred and
agreeable. Mothers sometimes think,
or act as if they thought that courtesy
in the home must be entirely one
sided affair. The small boy must not
interrupt conversation, he must step
softly, speak gently, remove bis hat
on coming in, spring to restore what
some older person drops, run his little
feet off on errands, always say thank
you, and never indulge himself in the
least expression of irritation, but no
body is obliged to be equally polite to
him. Ordered as if he was not as SEN
sitive to wounds, and as easily hurt as
his elders, his pursuits regarded as ofno
importance, his convenience overruled
or set aside at the caprice OF his tutors
and governors, the little fellow often
has hard time of it while he is grow
ing up. Parents who are intensely
proud of their children often refrain,
from a mistaken idea that praise is in
iudicious, from commencing them for
what they do well, while blame is
swift to leap out and scorch the mem.
ory on any slight obcasion. The child
who will be most courteous through
life is the child who has been treated
with courtesy, who has spent the form
ative years of life in a sweet and gen
ial atmosphere, and been moulded not
so much by military rules brusquely
enforced as by the genial influence of
serene tempers and the blessedness OF
good examples.

Course of Cotton.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-This was by
far the widest day the cotton market
has seen for long time. The course
of the trading was full of surprises.
Liverpool sent us a handsome advance
but was completely ignored by our
market, which opened lower, the first
sales of January being at 8. 5S. Heavy
liquidation of long cotton for South
ern account depressed prices in the fore
noon, January receding to 8.53, but
when the pressure of selling orders
was lifted the market quickly rallied
about 8 points from the lowest, and
for long time about midday January
kept fuctuating quietly between 8. SO
and S.61, without any decided indica-
ton either of strength or of weakness.
In the early afternoon, however, prices
suddenly began to harden. Nobody
seemed able to give an entirely salts
factory explanation of the course of
the buying, but there was wild rush
to buy cotton, and prices for a while
seemed to be a matter of secondary
Importance. There were occasional
halts in the rise when reaction SEEM
ed imminent, but the advance was
soon resumed and was not finally
checked until January had sold at
8.81, just % points above the lowest of
the day. Realizing sales on large
scale by a prominent local trader caus:
ed January to recede to s. 73 in the last
fifteen minutes. The close was steady,
with January at 8.74 and 8.75. The
trade is at least filed with genuine
alarm at the prospect of short crop.
The market is altogether in the hands
of the outside public. AS long as they
continue to buy prices will continue
to advance; but after such rise quick
and sharp reaction is among the posi-
bilities, and we would now advise our
friends to keep close to shore and not
disdain to turn their paper profits into
hard cash. Riordan & Go.

Mr.. Otis proposed that each half of
the committee put up man and let
the convention elect one of them tofll
out the committee.
Mr.. Stanyarne Wilson objected to
this on the ground that it would force
the convention to a test vote before it
wasinformed of the merits of the ques-

Mr.. Otis moved to table Mr.. Brea-

Mr.. Breazeale's substitute was then
adopted.
At the night session the article on

Col. Aldrich supported his motion

Effect of the War Scare Upon Stocks
Listed Upon the Exchange.
London, Dec. 24.-The money mar
ket has undergone temporary tighten
ing under the influence of the Ameri-
can panic. Ease will undoubtedly be
restored on the arrival of gold from
New York. In the stock market the
shock produced by President Cleve-
lands message caused a demoraliza-
tion in the American stocks. While
war was never seriously anticipated,
the investing and speculating world
look forward with the utmost appre-
hension to the consequences to Ameri-
can finances Likely to follow, what the
mildest here describe, as President
Cleveland's g rashness. After President
Cleveland's 8 and Secreatry Carlisle's re-
cent utterances on the currency ques-
tion, hopes beadn to revive in the
American markeA but the crisis had
completely shattered all confidence,
and even the best gold bonds were be-
ing thrown recklessly on the market.
Further dalliance with the currency
problem was regarded as impossible,
and until it was seen how events will
shape themselves there is little chance
of the rally except through the pur-
chases of the best class of bonds by the
sanguine speculators. 1t is difficult to
learn the actual dealing prices but the
weeks fall ranges from to IL per
cent. Canadians were almost as badly
affected. Grand Trunk ~. All mar
kets were weak in sympathy.

Fined Two Hundred Dollars for As
sautting an A. p. A. Lecturer.
South Bend, Dec. 2O.-Acting Judge
R. K. Boney yesterday sentenced M.
Mehan, convicted of assaulting Rev.
Mr.. Sutton, the A. P. A. lecturer, to
pay a fine of 5000. The costs were
taxed to the county, as they amounted
to nearly $500, and Judge Boney
thought that the payment of such a
fine would be excessive punishment
Superior Judge Langhorne had pre-
ed Of the same offense, to pay fine Of
$50 and costs, the costs in his case
amounting to 50. SO.
The attorneys for Mehan moved for
new trial, on the ground that the
county attorney could not file informa-
tion against the defendant when the
superior court was not in session, and
when the committing magistrate had
not made an order of commitment. The
objection had never been raised before,
and Judge Boney was of the opinion
that Judge Langhorne should have
allowed the objection at the beginning
of the trial, and let the supreme court
pass upon it. However, as Judge
Langhorne, for whom he was acting,
had overruled the objection, and let the
trial go on, he did not feel disposed at
this late day. when an expensive trial
had been carried through, to. decide
contrary to Judge Langhorne. !, The
defense will probably appeal the case.

Terre Haute, Dec. 20.-E. v. Debs

of Locomotive Firemen,
of which order he was grand secretary
for thirteen years, and which he built
up. He went before the local lodge
and made speech in which he stated
that as his path lay in different di

men he felt it his duty to retire. Two
years ago when he first entered the
American Railway Union, an attempt
was made to expel him, but he went
before the lodge and carried everything
with him. A like movement was to
have been inaguraed at the national
convention at Harrisburg in 1894, but
he went there and his enemies well
coined him as their friend. However
much the members of the Brotherhood
may disagree with him as to his new
order, nearly all are his personal
friends.

THE PHILADELPHIA STRIKE.
Many Rumors Current, but the Situation
Apparently Unchanged.


Apparently Unchanged.
Philadelphia, Dec. 24.-The strike
situation is apparently unchanged, but
the air is full of all kinds of rumors.
No attempt was made to run cars, the
authorities fearing violence from the
strikers sympathizers Many confer
ences were held on both sides. but no
statements were given out. The strik-
ers had uniformed men in all parts
of the city soliciting subscriptions from
door to door, and it is said the aggre-
gate collections run into high figures.
What effort will be made in the way of
running cars cannot be ascertained,
but an uneasy feeling exists for what
may result if any attempts are made.
Major Warwick issued the following
statement today:
"As matters stand, my duty as chief
executive officer is to preserve the
peace and order of the city, and I will,
with all the force at my command, do
my assistance all the force that un-
der the law can be brought into requi
sition, be it state or national Life
and property shall be protected by the
strong arm of the law. Lawlessness is
anarchy, and that will not be permitted
under any circumstances. !"
John L. Welsh, president of the
company, tonight issued lengthy
statement to the. public. It reiterates
the company's discrimination to ignore
the organization, and blames the
strike and its consequences on parties
who had no connection with the COM
pany. Welsh rehearses the events of
the past few days, deploring the vio-
lence and explaining the inability of
the company to discharge the 1, 400
new men they have taken on since the
strike began.

The Brutal Turks.

Constantinople, Dec. 20.-Replying
to telegraphic message from United
States Minister Terrell, the mission
aries at Marsovan telegraphed yester.
day that they we're all safe, and guard
ed by troops. A letter, dated Decem-
ber 2,has been received here from an
American missionary at Caesarea, Civ
ing narrowing details of the horrors
of the previous three days. The writer
says the Turks swarmed into the
houses, stoning, clubbing and killing
every Armenian within reach. The
American mission was not harmed,
evidently owing to the orders issued by
the Turkish officials, but, the mission
ary continues. the barbarity practiced
passes all description. Victims were
literally hacked to pieces. and thou
sands of persons were killed on the af-
ternoon of November 80. The mission
ary says the Turkish soldiers confessed
the government gave them permission
to pillage.

A New Tree Pest.

The quarantine officer of the state
board of horticulture of California has
issued the following letter relative to
new tree pest:
''I desire to call your attention to the
existence of small and very injurious
insect infesting apple, pear and plum
trees in New York state and Ontario,
Canada, and the necessity of thorough
inspection of all trees arriving in your
county from outside of the state. The
insect above referred to is known,
from it's peculiar manner of covering
itself, as the cigar (Coleo-
bhora Flectherella.) In its winter
quarters it is a minute orange-yellow
caterpillar, encased in small curved
suit, consisting of portion of dry leaf,
and usually attached to the smaller
branches or twigs. In the East it COM
pletes it's growth by attacking the
swelling buds in spring and the
young fruit as soon as set, which it de-
stroys. During the summer it de-
velops into delicate, small steel-gray
moth. Its small size and peculiar
covering in winter makes it difficult to
detect, so you will see to it that all
your inspectors are instructed and noti-
fed to be on the lookout for them, 80 as
to prevent their introduction into Cali

San Francisco Is in No Danger, but the
Sound Cities Are.
San Francisco, Dec. 20.-Of all the
American coast cities San Francisco is
probably the best prepared to resist
naval demonstration and attack. How
successful the defense would be is, of
course, matter of conjecture, though
the opinion prevails in army circles
that it would require great many
more vessels than England now has in
her Pacific squadron to make even an
impression. New York is probably
better defended as far as the actual
number of guns and other armament
is concerned, but the geographical
stuation is not nearly SO favorable.
The cities of Oregon and Washington
are absolutely without adequate pro-
lection from foreign inasion.

coALsHlP IN A STORM.
Terrible Experience of the Wachuset
Of the Washington Coast.

Terrible Experience of the Wachusetts
Off the Washington Coast.
Port Townsend, Dec. 24.-The coal
collier Wachusetts, after a frightful
battle with the elements off the Wash
ingten coast, which nearly resulted
in the loss Of the vessel, arrived at Port
Angeles this afternoon in leaky con-
dition. She loaded with coal from
Nanaimo, bound for San Francisco.
She passed Cape Flattery last Tues
day. A terrible storm was encountered
and for three days the crew remained
nobly at their posts. Heavy seas car
ried away the starboard bulwarks, and
tons of water flooded the hold. The
wind merged into hurricane, and the
ship labored heavily, straining her tim
bers and springing a leak. Three
sailors were severly injured by floating
wreckage, and the captain himself mar
rowly escaped being washed overheard.
For three days the storm continued in
all it's fury, and the vessel slowly made
her way toward the cape, where she
was taken in tow.
From a casual examination at Port
Angeles this afternoon, the cargo will
have to be discharged and the vessel go
in the drydock for repair. She is
leaking at the rate of six inches per
hour.
The Wachusetts belongs to William
e. Mighell, of San Francisco, and is
one of the best coalships on the coast.

menting on the Presidents message to
congress, said that he does not think
there is a remote chance of the two
Enlgish speaking peoples of the world
going to war about little strip Of
territory alongside of Venezuela.
''It will be war of diplomcy," he
said. 'sBoth countries will demand
an exhibition of power and purpose,
but the controversy will be settled by
peaceful methods. Neither nation is
prepared to go to war, and neither
wants a war as result of this quarrel
over boundary line. 1t is not neces-
sary for either to fight to show that it
is not cowardly. Each knows the
other will fight, but each is too far ad-
vanced in civilization to be the aggres-
sor in bringing on a war on such
provocation. )"

A Donkey Superstition.

The early Christians had supersti-
tion that the black mark running down
the back of donkey, and cut at right
angles by similar mark across the
shoulder, is the mark of the cross, and
that it was miraculously placed upon
the ass that Christ rode upon his tri-
umphal entry into Jerusalem. This su-
prostitution is said to prevail at the pres
ent day in Spain and Italy.
