MAYOR CALLAGHAN.

Mayor Callaghan is convinced that
much hardship has been caused by the
failure of the city to pay off it's en-
ployes. Some cases of special hard
ship are under consideration. 1t is
not likely that any pay day will be an
nounced before the present years tax
rolls are made available, but the pros
pect is that all the unfortunate credi-
tors will be paid off in the month of
June. Mayor Callaghan is devoting
his personal attention to the sewer
work, to see that the contractors live
up to their contract. and keep their
work moving so as to Inconvenience
the public as little as possible. He has
required that the trenches be filled and
the dirt removed so as not to obstruct
the streets any longer than necessary
1t is stated that the mandamus case
decided by Judge Camp favOrably to
Mayor CalIgahn, will be appealed
There are varying opinions about this
matter but there is a generally eX-
pressed satisfaction over the decision
az il postDOnes another election. The
city has not yet paid the bill for the
last election.

THE ENGINEERS OFFICE.

Mr.. Wyschetzki, the new city engin-
eer has his department in good work
ing order. The most important work
now engaging the attention of the en-
gineer's department is the sewer work.
1t is calculated that the construction
will not last over two months longer
then the money will be exhausted and
the further extension of the sewers
must wait for further care. A.glance
over the sewer map shows that a large
area of our city has been covered and
that the work is being finished up so
that the sewer will be complete sys-
tenn ready for use as soon as inspection
is over. Mr.. Wyschetzki is of the
opinion that the system will work all
right, and only where defective work
or bad material has been used will
there be any, trouble. We hear no
complaints about the engineers de-
partment under its new head.

BLEW UP A TRAIN.
Cuban Rebels Use Dynamite with Ave-
full ERect-TweIye Persons KILLED.

Euect-IvveIVe PERSONS
Havana, Nov. 15.-The insurgents
have dynamited and deraiJed train
running between Neuvitas, the port of
Puerto Principe, and the city of Puerto
Principe, capital of the province of that
name. No further details have been
made public.
The force of the explosion over
turned the engine. destroyed several
cars, killed the engineer. fireman and
ten other persons and injured 81 sol
diers and passengers.
The insurgents are again active
throughout central and eastern Cuba.
IT is understood that they will shortly
make a bold demonstration as proof
that they have not accepted autonomy
and to induce the next session of the
United States congress to recognize
their rights as belligerents.
Throughout the island general dis
satisfaction exists among the Spanish
troops, who oppose the policy of coax
ing the insurgents and according them
kind treatment which, they believe, will
facilitate the plans of the insurgents.
Marshal Blanco, it is understood, lacks
the necessary moral influence over the
troops to induce them to carry out his
plans for the kind treatment of the in
surgents and the natural consequence
of this is state of confusion. The an
nexation of Cuba to the United States
is gaining in favor among the mer-
camille and foreign elements in the
island.
Gen. Blanco has dispatched several
pacficos provided with passes to the
insurgent lines with view to inducing
the leaders to lay down their arms and
accept autonomy. He has issued Or
ders othe guerrilla bands not to modest
these ENJOYS.
Madrid, Nov. 15.-Gen. Stewart l..
Woodford, the United States minister,
had a conference with Senior Moret, the
minister of the colonies, and discussed
with him the prohibition of the export
of tobacco from Cuba. Senior Moret
promised Gen. Woodford to study the to-
bacco prohibition carefully, and cabled
Marshal Blauco for information on the
subject in view Of the improving rela-
tons between Spain and the United
States. Senior Moret is inclined to grant
Gen. Woodford's request.
London, Nov. 15.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Standard says: At the
request of Marshal Blanco, the govern
1nent has postponed to the 25th of No
vember the publication of the decree of
autonomy for the West Indies. This is
with view of gazetting all the reforms
at the same time and of allowing Mar
shall Blanco, meanwhile, to push opera
tions against the insurgents, and to
complete the reorganization of the
colony.

WESTERN BANKS STRONG.
Money Is Plentiful and Eastern Paper
Is Being Purchased.

St. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 15.-Maurice
Auerbach, president of the Union bank,
calls attention to the fact that for the
first time in the history of wesern bank
ing the institutions of the west are buy
ing eastern paper. The fact, he says, is
very significant of not only better con-
ditions, but turning in the scale which
will place the west on more equal foot
ing with the east. Mr.. Auerbach be-
lieves it will not be long before the west
will be in position to refuse all die
tation. One reason given for this
change is that money is more plentiful
in the west than in the east. Western
banks are full of it, and there is not
large local demand for it. Another is
that cash wheat is now worth more than
futures. Instead of storing in elevators
the wheat is now being shipped directly
to the seaboard, accompanied by bills of
lading, which are accepted as cash.
Thus the western banks are stopped
from drawing on the eastern banks, eff
fectually turning the tide.

BATTLE WITH BIG SNAKE.
Anaconda Gives a Waterman n Hard
Squeeze and Kills n Pony.

Philadelphia, Nov. ia huge ana
conda, on exhibition in a museum here
Sunday severely injured Samuel Mash
er, the museum Waterman, and crushed
to death a valuable trick pony. The
pony was tied to feed box, alongside
the anaconda's cage. Washer saw the
reptile had worked one of the boards
of its cage loose and had stretched it's
tail out a short distance. He pushed
the board to, believing the anaconda
would pull within its cage again. In
stead it wriggled out and wrapped it.
self several times about Washer. The lat
ter screamed for help and the pony,
frightened by the big reptile, began
jumping about. This probably saved
Washers life, for the reptile unwound
itself from him and completely encir-
cled the pony. Washer fell to the floor
unconscious, while the big snake con-
tinued to crush the pony until life was
extinct. When a number of the en-
ployes reached the scene the snake had
begun to unwind itself. The men kept
aloof until lasso had been obtained
and the anaconda finally made secure.
Several of Washers ribs were broken
and he was removed to a hospital.

HE PRAISES THE PLAN.
Postmaster-G General Gary Lauds
the Postal Savings System.
TIE Subject of Government DEPOSIT
tories Treated at Great Length I'm
His Report-WOuld Stimulate
Habits of Thrift.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE first annual
report of Postmaster-General James A.
Gary, to the president, is made public. It's
feature Is the strong advocacy of postal
savings repositories, as a scheme over
which Postmaster-General Gary has
worked for many months in the formula
tion of plans to present to the president
and congress. He says the time is ripe for
their establishment, and that the adoption
of well-organized system would confer
a great boon upon large number Of people
and ultimately be Of inestimable benefit to
the whole country. The estimates Of the
revenues and expenditures for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1899, are:
Total postal revenue for 1897, $50, SOS, 462. 70;
add five per cent, $4,133273.13 Estimated
revenue for 1898, $50, 79S, 1856; add seven
per cent, $6,075.91 1.51. Total estimated rev.
enue for 1899, s92,S74, 647.37; estimated ex-
penditures for 1898, sos, 1929, 760; deficiency
for 1885, estimated, $6,04S, 11263.
Fillowing Is an abstract Of the report:
The increase of the postal deficit for 1897
is largely reflection Of the depressed BUSH
ness conditions which prevailed all over
the United States during the first three
quarters of that period. There has been
no extravaganza of expenditure save that
obligated by law. Reiterating the injustice
inflicted both upon the postal revenues

BRAlDwooD DISTRICT IDLE.

Complete suspension Agreed Upon
Except at Carbon Hill.
Braidwood, ILL.,, Nov. 15.-With the
exception of Carbon Hill the miners of
this district have succeeded in bring
ing about complete suspension again,
and at a secret meeting held in Coal City
Sunday night arrangements were made
to again tie up the Carbon Hill mines
if it becomes necessary. The officers as
sert their confidence in their ability to
do this, but they refuse to discuss the
means to be employed. There is in
tense feeling, but the officers of the
union believe they will be able to hold
the organization without break, and
have the men stand solidly for the
Springfield scale.
The last "a hours have been filled
with more excitement and feeling than
has marked the strike since it's incep-
ton. Braceville, which was first to vote
TO return to work, voted unanimously
to come out again. This may mean a
great deal to the men in that mine, for
the reason that on Sunday the company
posted notice that those who do not
return to work this morning may con-
slider themselves discharged, and they
are instructed to take their tools out
of the mine. There is also the implied
threat that the company will immedi-
ately begin hiring new men. The min
ers say this latter phase of the question
at Braceville does not worry them very
much as they do not believe men are to
be had, and that even if they do come
the men at Braceville will be able to
take care of them.

SURPRISE TO DEPOSITORS.
English Bank Failure Shocks Many
Indiana Farmers and Merchants.

English, Ind, Nov. 15.-Every resi-
dent of Crawford county was shocked
Saturday morning when it was learned
that the English bank had failed to
open its doors. Coupled with this came
the report that President Willet, of the
Leavenworth branch, had not been seen
for three days and that his mind was
temporarily unbalanced over the death
of his mother. AS soon as the failure be-
came known the banks branches at
Leavenworth, Cannellton and Marengo
also closed. Nearly every farmer in
Crawford and Perry counties is said to
be concerned in the failure for amounts
ranging from 5000 to $4,000. County
Treasurer Brown has placed more than
$4,000 with the suspended bank. No
schedule of assets and liabilities can be
given, but both are large.
