NEW YORK. N. Y, July 6.-For three
hours to-day Frank Jones' young
plum Der, lay at the bottom OF shaft in
Henry street with sand and earth pile
UP to his neck, and with every chance OF
being buried alive. Twice he was nearly
free, and twice another fall OF sand closed
around him just as rescuers were about to
pull him out. 1t was nearly three hours
before Jones, with sheepish grin, APP
peared on the level OF tie street. A shout
went up from the crowd, and Jones was
seemingly EN- barrassed at finding himself
the object of so much attention, when he
darted into a taroer-shop and received
the congratulations of his friends. A
crowl had gathered 10 the number of 800
or 400 TO see the rescue and watch with
suspense. AT one time the sand had
reached Jones chin, md part of it COW
cred his face when ne appeared again.
But beyond that and dent in his hat,
which had never left his head during the
entire time. he showed no signs OF the

POLITICAL AGITATION IN iNDiA.

Jab lee Cefebr6 ton.

NEW YORK, N. Y, July 6.-The Herald
says: The present anti British feeling in
India is partially due TO the unscrupulous
aeitators who, by seditious leaflets, both
in English and the vernacular. circulated
in Poona, Bombay and at ether points,
have incited fanatics to vengeance against
individuals and 10 attempt revolt against
the Government.
A dispatch to the London Mail from
Bombay gives the substance OF one OF
these pamphlets, which is signed, "Three
Hundred Millions Of Beings" After re-
ferring to the approach Of the jubilee fes-
tivities it reviles the Queen and the Gov
ernment, and appeals to the civilized
oppressed Indians living in slavery, de-
c!aring that there are millions of their
Aryan brethren who are more entitled to
their consideration than the inhabitants
either of Greece or Asia Minor.
1t asserts that heariless apathy for the
sufferings of the people has been shown by
the invading of zenanas and the pollution
OF temples and mosques under the pretext
of operations for suppressing the plague,
and continues as follows:
Not even demon would venture to
celebrate his conquests in a time OF
famine, plague and earthquakes. An
an cient and noble nation Is being killed
by Christian Government. Will none
lift finger to check the excesses of the
English tyrants who have beer riding
over us roughshod for more than cen.
tury?'
The Times of India. referring to the
Poona attacks, says that the facts are in
consistent with the theory that the out

President Ratch'ord Is Confident,

Be General.

PITTSBURG, PA, July 6. Leadin g
bituminous coal operators, representing
the five States concerned in the big strike,
will meet at Detroit, Mich, tomorrow.
The meeting is not to agree on methods
of fighting the strike, but to devise terms
o. peace satisfactory 10 both operators and
miners.
Senator Mark Hanna and Colonel w.
P. Rend of Chicago, large operator in
the Pittsburg district, will probably at
tend the meeting. They are ready to grant
the SO cents ton demanded by the
miners in this field.
Among those who will attend the con-
ference besides the two mentioned is
H. L. Chapman, the Democratic candi.
date for Governor of Ohio, representing
the Ellsworth Coal Company, and the
Johnson Bros. of Ohio.
Patrick Dolan. president of the miners
of Pttsburg District, received word from
Finlayv.lIe to-day that all the miners
along the Wheeling branch of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad had joined the
strike. The mines on this road are those
belonging to D. Anderson, one mine
Henry Fioersheim, two mines; Osborne d
Saeger. one mine, and the P.ttsburg and
Chicago Gas and Coal Company. two
mines.
An official of the last named company
said tonight that his men had not struck.
He holds about $4,000 of the miners
wages under the ''ironclad contract" to
be forfeited under certain conditions, and
his information is probably correct. The
men will hardly strike until they have
been assured that they will not forfeit the
10 per cent of their wages withheld from
them.
Pr sident Dolan is informed that SEN
ator Hanna's men are receiving SO cents q
ton-lhe highest wages paid in the dis
trict-and will not strike.
1t would be only guesswork to estimate
the mum Der Of men out OF work in this
State. This is only the first day of tie
strike, and many reports from outlvins
mines ara conflicting. Probably SO 600
would be conservative estimate.
1t is reported that an effort will be
made to- N orrow 10 resume work with i'm
ported men at the O'NeiIl mines. near
Monongahela City. Trouble is expected

Phil Hichborne Jr., the 12-year-old son of
Colonel Philip Hichborne, Chief Naval
Constructor of the United States navy,
was setting off frecrackers near his
fathers cottage at Brigantine Beach. A
spark flew into an upper window and
soon tine entire garret floor, built of yellow
pine and as infia N mable as pitch, was in
Hames.
Clara Morris, colored maid, discov-
cred the fire. Her first thought was for
her young mistress, Miss Martha HIGH
borne, and her guest, Miss Margaret
Tyler OF Washington, D. G.. She knew
that they were sitting on the upper piazza
She could hear the frantic voices of the
young women as they appealed for aid,
and she mingled her cries with theirs,
but she could not get to then nor they to
her.
Meanwhile the alarm had spread. Every
able bodied man was soon at the scene.
Charles Harris, tossing blanket over his
head, mounted the stairs and rushed
through the smoke and heat to the piazza
III front. where the frightened women
were covering. Nothing but stiff breeze
tanning the flames toward the northwest
had prevented their being killed. Harris
she mutely motioned toward her guest.
So he picked up Miss Tyler, fainting and
helpless with terror, and rushed with her
through the house and downstairs. he
returned and carried Miss HIGH borne to
safety. Then he succumbed himself, and
it was found that his hands had been ter
ribly burned. He was treated by DR..
Armstrong, who did not think his injuries
dangerous.
The sea breeze drove shower OF sparks
toward the cottage of United States Sen
ator Mitchell of Wisconsin. which is now
occupied by Washington frienus of the
Senator, ana soon that splendid seaside
palace was on fire. At the same time the

Then the Senator fIom Iowa and the
Republican Senators in this chamber,
said Allen, "have surrendered because OF
the threat of fiiibusteiing."
"Oh, no." Allison interrupted; "but it
is very important that this bill should

Allen read from the last Republican
platform declarations in favor Of bounty
on beet sugar, and said: The beet-sugar
industry may just as we'll understand that
it has been grossly betrayed in The house

Cuba may be hunted as animals from

Thurston replied, showing from the

among the Senators who voted for the re-
peal of the bounty provision in the Nc
kinley act, and that the two PopuNst
Legislatures in Nebraska had repealed the
State law fer the payment of bounty on

the Repu blicans wanted TO pass 1t they
could do so and if they did not the people
would know where to lay the blame.
Allison asked that an agreement might

Jones of Arkansas said there was no OBJ

Wife and Child in New York

NEW YORK, n. Y. July 6,-The de-
position OF Susan Jane Fillmore, GA years
old. taken in Oakland, Cal, in the action
of Sarah Ann Angel to secure dover in
the realty of the late Jay Gould on proof
of m arriage to him before his marriage to
the mother of the children who survived
him, was filed in the Supreme Court here
to-day. The evidence was taken in behalf
of Mrs. ANGEL and her attorneys. to whom
she assigned her claim some time ago be-
fore Theodore Cooper of California.
Mrs. Fillmore's evidence in the main
tells of the fun she had with Gould in the
fall of 1857, roasting chestnuts in the
caboose of freight train and of alleged
statements he made at the time that he
was married and had child. He was not
then married to the mother of the Gould
children.
Mrs. Angel alleges tnat she married
Gould on April 16 1858, when she was 10
and he II years of age. She was servant
and her parents lived at Kouse's Point, on
the Canadian side of Lake Champlain.
She states that she had child by Gould.
which died. She afterward married man
named Angel, believing that Gould was
dead.
The impossibility of her story was
shown in long deposition made by John
w. ChampIin, formerly Chief Justice OF
the Supreme Court of Michigan which
was filed here on March 81 last, but
which was subsequently removed from
the files owing to the allegation of some
informality. judge Champlin was q
friend Of Gould from 1882 to 1854 and tes-
titled that be had never heard of any
marriage during this period.
Mrs. Fillmore is the wife of Luther Fill
more and lives ON Leicester avenue, Oak
land. She married Fillmore in 1S47.
They first lived IN different places in this
State, and in June, 1855, went to Scranton.
In 1869 they went West to live. She was
living in Scranton when, late in October
or early in Novem ber. 1857, she first met
Gould on a train OF which her husba nd
was temporarily acting as conductor.
Gould got into the caboose TO go to
Gouldsboro. Her husband introduced
them, and during the ride young Gould
confessed that he had wife living in New
York State.
