tanned for His Recovery.

Detroit, July S.-George Van Ness
Lothrop, the aged ex-minister to Rus
sia, is still critically i'll at his home In
this city, although some hope Is enter
tained Of his recovery.
Mr.. Lothrop was the principal Ameri-
can diplomat at st. Petersburg during
the first Cleveland administration. He
is one Of Michigan's most distinguished
men and his career has been in every
way a creGitable one. He came to this
state as youth, and began his life in
the west on a farm owned by his broth
er i'm Kalamazoo county. There for
years he did the rough work Of farm
hand for health's sake and thus laid the
foundation for a sturdy constitution that
has CARED him through so years Of hard
intellectual labor.
Graduating In law, he settled In this
city in 1S43 and rapidly rose TO high
position In his profession. He was never
very prominent in politics, devoting his
attention almost entirely to his legal
work He once ran for congress- but
was defeated, and in 1860 he was the
leader Of the Michigan delegation to the
Charleston national convention, in which
he worked and voted for Douglas. Mr..
Lothrop retired from the practice of law
in 1876 and since that time he has lived
in retirement.

There will be two contesting delegations

1t appears that Herbert Cornwall was a

he assaulted his father who is old and
feeble. DIR. Richard Cornwall inter-
fered in behalf of his father and fight

THIS is A FINE SUMMER SHOWER.

Deen posted for a meeting of the miners
and other mine employees of the Mclean
County Coal company of Bloomington.
At this meeting the order for a general
strike will be fully considered, and ac-
ton upon it taken. At Toluca, Ills,
the men are all on strike. but at Rut-
land they are working regularly. Spring
Valley reports 1900 men out and Pana
sends word that the miners there have
no grievance, and will probably stay in
the mines. There is no strike talk near
Alton.
Princeton, Ills, sends word that the
Spring Valley Coal company has taken
its mules out of the shafts and made
the necessary preparations for an ex-
tended cessation of work. The miners
have asked the company men employed
by the day to quit work, and 1t is ex-
pected that most of them will comply
with the request. 1t is expected the
mules will be taken out of the shafts
at Ladd, Seatonville and Marquette,
and the mines put in readiness for an
extended strike. About 5000 miners in
the county are now idle. The mines
at Coal Hollow and Sheffield are still
in operation.
Unlike Any Former Strike.
Word comes from Terre Haute, Ind,
that President Knight of the Indiana
district of United Mine Workers says
he does not understand how arbitration
can be applied to the strike. He thinks
there is a misapprehension or the char
acter of the movement. which Is unlike
any former miners strike. Miners have
frankly acknowledged that 1t is not the
old contention with operators, and that
with the coal selling at lower price
than ever known, and not enough sold
to give the miners two days work a
week, even at the price offered by the
operators, he does not see where arbi-
traitors would begin their work of medi-
alton.
He says the board ofarbitration would
not ask the miners to accept lower
scale Of wages to be on level with the
| lowest The operators themselves say
the men are not paid enough.

its charges based as stated. Council
men Baker. Grider and Nautilus were
appointed to investigate both the petit
tion and the charges and appointed last
night for hearing. Mr.. Baker presided
at the investigation. The members of
the board Of examiners, Mr.. Church, Mr..
Little and about thirty engineers were
in attendance at the beginning of the
session. After Mr.. Baker had stated the
purpose Of the meeting Mr.. Rademacher
was asked to explain that portion of the
charges In which it is alleged that Mr..
Church was interested in the petition for
the removal of the board
Mr.. Baker then requested any person
who had signed the petition for the re-
.moval of the board to come forward and
make whatever complaint they had to
make, but there was no response.
CHURCH'S DEFENSE
Mr.. Church was then asked to make
his defense. He began by saying that
he had had nothing to do with the petit
ton, and that so far as he or his deputy
were concerned they had not engineered
the matter. His reason for not obeying
the order to work separately was that
he had injured his hafld and needed the
constant assistance of his deputy. He
had been unable to make interior inspec-
tions of nearly all the boilers, either be-
cause the manholes were too small or the
boilers were hot or because they were
such boilers as could not be entered.
Church then read a statement in his
own defense.
William Fischer was called upon and he
to him, told him about the petition and
as much as told him to sign it.
Messrs. Judkins and Fischer told the
committee what they knew of the
charges, and they, too, were asked many
questions. Mr.. Little also came in for
many questions and admitted having
made an insertion in the petition at Mr..
Church's direction before it was circu-
lated. Forced to admit that he had
known about the petition, Church ex-
planned that he did not think there was
anything dishonorable in his action.
The charges were taken up in detail, and
for more than hour there was general
discussion in which several engineers
participated. Engineer Lafferty told
how the boiler in the Hollenbeck hotel
had been damaged by test in which
a high pressure had been applied to a
low pressure boiler. J. L. Ebey cited
another case somewhat similar.
Then came Deputy Little's time to
explain all about that school for en-
gineers Councilman Hutchison put the
question to him direct whether the
school was not humbug so far as max
ing engineers was concerned, ana
whether it was not simply for the pur-
pose of coaching applicants SO that they
could pass an examination. With some
difficulty he elected qualified admis-
sion that such was the case. This caused
considerable laughter at Little's ex-
pense. The committee gave both sides
every opportunity to present their case,
and on motion of Councilman Baker the
matter was taken under advisement.

A Race With Death

The story of an unhappy bridegroom,
whose hair grew gray in a single morn
ing, and that the morning of his mar
riage, is reported from Zigard, in Hun
gary.
Mtru Popa, born in Teregova, son Of a
small farmer and affianced to a daugh-
ter of prosperous citizen of Zigrad, re-
Gently started for Zigrad, there to wed
and bring home his bride. The place can
be reached in two hours by the mountain
road. There was, however, a short cut;
it led through the railway tunnel with
single line of rail. Popa laid ear to the
ground and listened AS there was not
| the slightest vibratio he took courage
and ventured into the dark passage.
Here, the report goes on, he had been
STUN bling along as best he could, when,
after ten minutes passed in the total
darkness, and being, as he judged, near
the center of the tunnel, he heard the
distant rumbling of an approaching
| train.
The noise grew louder behind him and
Popa ran; louder still, and Popa raced.
1t was a via dolorosa with the small
point of daylight far off amid the dark
ness, and if he could win it, then it meant
| life, safety and bride, but the thunder of
the train grew ever nearer. Fortunate
ly the gradient was a steep one, and the
express was called express by courtesy
only, and the race between the man and
death terminated at the tunnels outlet,
the man winning by about his own
length
The mercifully sluggist "schnellzug'
passed into the daylight as the BRIDE
groom fell PROSTATE on the bank. When
| he had started he had dark brown hair;
when he arrived at the brides house it
was as white as the brides veil. The
lady, however, accepted him on the
somewhat dubious ground that the hair
would come all right in time, and that
| the injury was covered by insurance"
