HELD FOR ROBBERY.
Three McMechen Young Men Arrested
for Robbiug Wsl-KnOwn Cigar
Han of MOundsville-.-CaSes Will Be
Heard Monday at BenwOOd.

Yesterday Constable 10y, Of Benwood,
arrested three McMechen young men
named Platt. Williams and Lewis, on the
charge of robbery of David Cunningham
a crippled cigar MANUFACTURER of Mounds
vile. The three young men were taken
before Squire Lacey, of Benwood, and
were required to give bail for their ap-
pearance at a hearing Monday.
The crime with which these young
men are charged is alleged to have been
committed Thursday evening at his cigar
shop in Moundsville, but the story is
doubted by many people in that town. At
the time mentioned. Cunningham. his
partner. named Williams and five young
men, of whom two were from Benwood,
were sitting in the cigar shop when an
alteration arose and Cunningham raised
his crutch to hit one Of the young men.
Williams got hold Of the crutch, and this
led to a quarrel between Cunningham
and Williams and a dissolution of part
nership the next day. Yesterday Cum
ningham claimed that at the time Will
nams was holding his crutch that the
three young men went through his pock-
cts and stole $40 from him. The story is
doubted, as Williams has reputation
of honesty and is well respected in
Moundsville.
In the case of Chas. Gately charged by
Dave Jacobs with assault and fighting,
the defendant was given hearing before
Mayor Sheppard yesterday, but was hon
orably discharged, there being no evidence
to justify the charge.
The Ohio River railroad agent at Ben
wood had a boy named Willie Roy arrest
ed yesterday for trespass. The boy re-
fused to go off the premises and called
the agent some bad names. Mayor Shep-
pard fined the hoy 50 and costs.

To the Editor Of the Register.
Sir-Our grand, noble, and generous
hearted coal operators, who have sac
rificed so much in the interest Of the
poor coal miners, and are using every
means possible to advance the inter-
est of their employees, to enable them
10 earn a respectable living, are en-
ploying means and methods that they
should not be compelled to use in order
to convince the miners and public
that il is not necessary to restore 10
their employees a part Of that which
was taken from them some time since
that the condition Of trade, times
and the coal market will not admit OF
it. all Of which the miners and general
public ought TO know, and that is i'm
possible to grant them their exorbitant
demands. Well, We will see II the
miners and all organized labor can be
hodooed and have the wool pulled
over their eyes in that kind Of style
any longer or not. Everything points
to the success of the miners cause at
present, the paid reports Of the opera
tors to the contrary notwithstanding.
This threatening of employing Pinker-
ton thugs, Calling guns, etc, has it,
significance, which is fully understood
by the coal miners. They have been
through the mill before. The opera
tors tactics is we'll known and viii
not work this time. Without question,
victory is in sight. That is, If the
miners keep their equilibrium and not
allow sensational reports to run away
with their better judgment. Every
thing is in good shape. The general
public is responding nobly TO the ap-
peals Of the miners committee for
support. No one in this district need
fear for the necessaries Of life for an
indefinite period Trims bluff Of the
GENERATORS is having no effect in the
district officers Of the Panhandle. In
fact. they feel more confident Of sue,
cess now than ever from the knowl-
edge Of the fact that the operators
are getting desperate.

all that is the best in genuine colored
minstrelsy, and one that has been
under one management for twenty
four years. long time for any enter
prise TO exist. especially in minstrelsy.
There is always cause for effect, and
the cause in this case is that Richards
& Pringle have always organized each
season a particularly strong company
OF colored artists, never attempting to
trade on their splendid reputation,
but constantly trying to eclipse them
selves each season by bringing to-
gether a stronger and more meritor-
ious company. and presenting a more
entertaining programme, and In union
this season with RUSSO & Hollands

BRUNSWICK DISSATISFIED.
Wants to Leave Cumberland and Be Joined
With Sagadahoc County.

brunswick, Jan. IA petition. largely
signed by the heaviest tax payers of the
town of Brunswick. will be presented to
the Legislature, asking that the town be
set off from Cumberland county and an
nexed TO Sagadahoc.
The reasons for the proposed change
are that Brunswick. which is one of the
largest towns in Cumberland county out
side of Portland. does not receive its Just
share of the expenditure of public money
for improvements. and to annex the town
to Sagadahoc county would tend to equal
lie the valuation and population of Cum
berland and Sagadahoc, now entirely out
of proportion according to their size.
Another reason that is said to be at the
bottom of this proposed change is that
Brunswick. while it has saved Cumber-
land county for the Republican party
many times i'll the past. and at one time
prevented the defeat of the whole Re-
publican ticket by the large Republican
majority it gave. has never received
what it has deemed its Just share of the
county Offices

A NICE PREDICAMENT.
Skowhegan Man Visiting at Brewer,
Visited by the Police,
Who Think They Want Him, But For What NJ
One Knows.

Skowhegan, Jan. ,11.-(SpeciaD .-Augus-
tus Gilblair one of the firm comprising
the Island Foundry and Machine Co. of
this place. and a highly respected citi-
zen. had an experience in Bangor Sat
urday night. that surprised him. He had
business in Bangor. Saturday. and as he
must necessarily remain away over Sun
day. he concluded to visit a cousin in
Brewer.
Hardly had he reached his cousins
police officer entered and demanded TO
see any strangers that were in the house
Mr.. Gilblair was introduced to them and
the city marshal began to critically sur
vey him. when Mr. Gilbair asked what
was wanted. The city marshal said:
You look like the man we want and
guess you are. You ought to have Il scar
on the left side of your neck though
and the marshal thereupon examined the
right side of Mir. Gilblair's neck
1t may be well to say that Mr. Gilblail
has q scar on the left side of his neck
where the marshal did not look, although
he said that was the side where the scar
showed
Mr.. Gilblair finally demanded to know
what he was wanted for before the in
spection continued. and the marshal
said:
You live in skowhtgan, don't YOU
Yes, sir.
You left there, today, didn't you?"
Yes. sir e
well. guess you are the man we are
after said the marshal.
well, l guess l am mot said Mr., Gil
blair, and then he went on ana told him
who he was. adding that he was Il police
officer and constable in Skowhegan. and
could furnish the best of characters.
The marshal finally concluded that he
had got the wrong man and said so but
that did not help Mr. Gilbiair's feelings
to any great extent.
TO the Journal he said. today: 1t be-
gan to look at one time as though | had
got to go to Jail, and tell you | did not
feel pleasant. The police of Brewer &c

ETERNAL PEACE
Should Now Reign Between
United States and England.
AngIo-American General Arbitration
Treaty Signed at Washington.
Message Of Pres. Cleveland Transmitting
Treaty to the Senate.

Washington. Jan. 1.-THE President
sent the following message to the Sen
ate, Monday afternoon, transmitting
the Anglo-American general arbitra-
, ton treaty:
To the Senate: l transmit herewith
a treaty for the arbitration of all mat
tiers in difference between the United
States and Great Britain. The provis-
ions of the treaty are the result of long
and patient deliberation and represent
concessions made by each party, for
the sake of an agreement upon a gen
eral scheme. Though the result
reached may not meet the views of the
advocates of immediate, unlimited and
irrevocable arbitration of all interna-
tional controversies. it is nevertheless
confidently believed that the treaty
cannot fail to be everywhere recognized
as taking a long step in the right di-
rection, and as embodying a practical
working plan by which disputes be-
tween the two countries will reach a
peaceful adjustment as matter of
course and ordinary routine.
In the initiation of such an impor-
tant movement it must be expected
that some features will assume a ten
tative character looking to a further
advance: it is apparent that the treaty
formulated not only makes war be-
tween the parties to it a remote pos
sibilty, but precludes those fears and
rumors of war which of themselves too
often assume proportions of national
disaster.
1t is eminently fitting as well as
fprtIrnafe that
Elish results so beneficial should be
initiated by kindred peoples, speaking
The same tongue. Joined together by all
the ties of common traditions, common
institutions and common aspirations.
The experiment of substituting civ
ilized methods for brute force as the
means of settling international ques
tons of right will thus be tried under
the happiest auspices.
Its success ought not to be doubtful
and the fact that it's ultimate ensuing
benefits are not likely to be limited to
the two countries Immediately con-
cerned should cause it to be promoted
all the more eagerly. The example set
and the lesson furnished by the sue
cessful operation of this treaty are
sure to be felt and taken to heart
sooner or later by other nations and
will thus mark the beginning of a new
epoch in civilization
Profoundly impressed as l am, by
the promise of the transcendant good
which this treaty affords, l do not hes
itate to accompany its transmission
with the expression of my earnest hope
that it may commend itself to the
favorable consideration of the Senate.
