Girl Catches u R0bber.

Bsrberville, n. Y. July 12-The
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Hyde, near
Olcott valley, was entered by burglar
last night, but the presence of their 16-
year-old granddaughter saved the couple
from harm and caused the burglars ar
rest. Miss Mary Hyde, the granddaugh-
ter, resides four miles from her grand
parents, but the presence of numerous
tramps in the neighborhood caused the
young woman to visit them yesterday
and insist that they should not remain
alone At night.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hyde occupied q room
on the second floor, while their grand
daughter insisted upon taking a room
on the first floor. About midnight the
young woman was awakened by a noise
In the sitting room, and, taking her re-
volver, she cautiously opened the door
OF her room. She saw a man fumbling
the contents of her grandfather's desk.
whats wanted here?' she exclaim-
ed, pointing her revolver at the robber.
The man turned to escape, but facing
the revolver, dropped the articles he had
in his hand and begged her not to shoot.
''lf you attempt to leave this room
I'll shoot" sternly replied Miss Hyde,
who then alarmed her grandfather while
she guarded the robber.
In short time several neignbors were
at the house and the man was arrested.
He was identified as Frank Ames, once
employed in the vicinity, but who had
not been seen for years.

SENATOR Quay has changed his mind
and will be a candidate for reelection
to the United States senate. He an
nounces, says the Harrisburg Patriot
that ''the fiery cross will again be cal
ried over the state and the men in
blouses, the bourgeoisie, asked to rally
to his support. He Is confident of re
election and his creatures are jubilant
because ne has announced himself a
candidate.
With the capitol burned to the ground
and treasury surplus consumed in the
hot raids of Quay henchmen it is proper
as well as poetic for the boss to carry a
fiery cross over the state. 1t is to be
hoped that when he does this a number
of Republicans will adhere to their ex-
pressed intention to nail him.
The friends and creatures of this boss
are the men who were interested in every
piece of thievery, in every ''cinch" bill,
IN every scheme of jObbery that consti-
tuted so much of the business" of the
last legislature. This was Quays meth
cd of paying his political debts to them
putting them where they could pay
themselves. None of the reforms he
promised so volubly when he feared de-
feat and extinction has been consum-
mated. He cannot give the state re-
forms and at the same time retain his
power. Reform would disperse the
crowd of politicians who aid in keep
ing him at the head of the machine.
The longer Quay retains his power the
more corrupt and the more nearly Grim
inal it becomes. There are other states
bossed to a certain degree. But there is
no other state which must suffer so
much shame and disgrace as Pennsyl-
vania suffers through Quay. Let him
carry the fiery cross if he must. He may
be crucified upon it.

COLUMBUs. July l4.-President Ratch-

Nine organizers have left here to
work in West Virginia. Six of these
were sent by the American Federation
of Labor 1t is believed the IL men
will be able to get the West Virginia
miners out. aided by the West Virginia
organizers.
Then comes the following good news
from Cleveland, which says:
MIR. j. j. Phillips has received a tele-
gram from Pennington, w. Va, say
ing:
Miners all out on strike here"
Pennington Is an important point in
the West Virginia coal fields, and local
operators believe that the strike will
now spread into West Virginia.
Mr. Phillips said: 1.-The people do
not realize how serious this strike is.
There is not enough coal Oh hand To
supply the market more than a week
or ten days longer. The miners have
accomplished more than they expected
TO and more than we ever thought they
could accomplish. They are i'll posi-
ton to dictate. If this strike Is settled
il will be when the operators go TO the
mine workers. The latter do not have
to go to the operators. L think the rail
roads will soon refuse to haul West
Virginia coal if the tralnmen do not
refuse to handle it.
Another operator who had been III

Virginia miners would come out and
then all the pressure would he brought

The country is full of vehement out
breaks on the part of the voters who
were deceived and defrauded of their
votes for president last fall by the whole
sale delusions of the Mckinley mana
gers. The reaction is everywhere. The
bOastful pictures that prosperity awaited
only a Republican triumph has been
proved by events to be the merest sham
and humbug ever put off upon trust
ful people.
1t is now realized that the craft and
capital of Wall street and the cunning
of Republican politics and the influence
of subsidized press all co-operated in
last years election to mislead the public
opinion in the northern and northwest
ern states. Especially has this revela-
ton been brought to the two classes to
which especial appeals were then made
by the Mckinley Hanna machine. The
work people of cities and the farmers in
the country have give up the hope of
prosperity which was to follow closely
upon last November's election and ex-
pectatiOn of better times has yielded
place to Indignation at the false preten-
ses they have suffered.

New Town to be Built.

Pittsburg, July IA new industrial
town is to be built on the east side of
the Monongahela river, in Rostrayer
township, WestmOreland county. Mon
esen is to be the name of this new place,
which it is declared. will be the model
manufacturing town in the great indus
trial valley. 1t is also declared that it
will be one of the fist fruits of returning
prosperity to the United States. The
name is formed by q combination of the
first syllable of the name of the river
with the name of the famous Prussian
manufacturing town on the Rhine.
where the Krupp gun works are located.
The name Is not only euphonious, but
carries a meaning-ESSen on the Mo
nongahela.
\ number of manufacturing plants
are said to be assured and one Is already
in course of construction, the mill of the
National Tin Plate Company, structure
of steel, brick and stone. into which
l, 800 tons of new rolling mill machinery
Is ready to be moved, and which will
give employment to !, 200 persons, &C
per cent. of whom will be adults.

THE government estimate of the con-
ditIUn aud acreage of wheat foIeshadows
a total production of about 46O, ,OOO,O 900
bushels This would be $4,000. 600
bushels more than the official estimate
Of the Weld Of 1876. Other crop experts
regard the federal estimate as 100, 900, =
600 bushels below the fact. As the new
crop year begins with the graEaries of
the country comparatively empty, and
a. the crop situation abroad indicates
probable shortages in the foreign supply
which viii compel Europe to draw as
largely upon American supplies as she
did last year it Will be fortunate if the
discrepancy between the public and pri-
vate estimates of the yield shall be de
cided IN the final count against the gov
erument, \ yield of 56O, 600, 600 bush
els would be none too large for the sup
ply Of normal home requirements, q
reasonably liberal reserve stock and the
probable needs Of importing countries

Crellin, of this city, the contract for a
canal excavation in st. Lawrence county,

miles in length and will require about
two years to complete it. The purpose
of the canal is to secure water fall and
establish an electric plant similar to that

already awarded to the Westinghouse

Prospect for a Settlement Brighter

Pittsbnrg, July, 1.-THE prospect for
settlement of the miners strike is
brighter tonight than at any time since
the struggle began, and both sides are
almost ready to count on resumption
of work in the near future.
The cheering announcement is made
tonight that w Z. DeArmitt, president
of the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal
company, whose l, 200 men have been
constantly at work, and without whose
assistance the success of the movement
would have been jeopardized, has agreed
to join with the other operators in a
plan for the settlement of the strike on
a true uniformity basis. This result has
been brought about through the efforts
of the joint arbitration commission, who
have been working to this end since the
meeting with PIeaident De Armitt yes
Ierday. This afternoon the commits.
sion called upon Mr.. De Armitt and sub
mitted its plan, to which he agreed.
Then the commission met the miners
officials and the proposition also received
their approval.

A FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Eiremen Shoveled Hard to Save a Work
From OuIcksand.

k1reIneu ShOveled Hard TO save a "
man From OuIcksand.
New YORK. July IA workman has
had narrow escape from being
engulfed by quicksands in Henry
street, where excavating for new
building has been in progress for sew
eral days.
His names is Jones and he lives in
Brooklyn. He was at work II feet
down in the excavation, which Is II
feet square and lined with planks.
Without warning the planking gave
way and the quicksand of the street
poured in on him. Before he could
give the alarm he was engulfed to the
waist. His cries brought two plumbers
TO his aid and while one hIld him by
the hands, the other rushed for assist
ance.
Word was sent to a fire truck house
for help. Twelve men were detailed,
who hurried to the spot with shOvels
and began digging the sand out. Their
efforts appeared TO be of no avail, as
the sand entered faster than II could be
shoveled out. The imperiled man
called for priest and Father Spellman
was summoned and he at once prepared
to administer the consolation of relig-
ion. For three hours the battle waged,
the men digging As fast as they could,
until he was finally gotten out.
