BlOndin's Body Found.

IL Was Brought TO the Surface During
the Thunder Shower Wednesday,

October.
The body of Ovilla Blondiu, the young
Frenchman who disappeared so mysterious

shop of Derby S Ball, and during the fore
noon left his work suddenly without speak
ing to anyone and was last seen running
toward the Connecticut river. The body
was found long distance above where
his friends had searched for it, indicating
that he went much further up the river
before throwing himself in than any one
supposed. 1t has been uncertain all win
ter whether he was dead or alive.

VERY FAVORABLE
Are the Indications for a Barge Stage.
Eight Feet of Water Expected at
Pittsburg.-.Pilots May Compromise
Other River Items.

FITTSBURG, Pa, November 23.-
The indications for barge stage of
water in the Ohio river by Saturday
are very favorable. The Ohio river
may reach stage of feet at the Davis
Island dam, and in chat event barge
coal can be shipped
A representative of the Monangahela
River Consolidated Coal and Coke
Company has asked the pilots of Pitts
burg to compromise on the wage scale.
1t is believed that an amicable settle
ment will be reached Some are in
favor of holding out for the scale price,
but it is thought that a compromise
will be effected. 1t is now proposed to
accept SITS a round trip to Louisville
and $3.50 to Cincinnati, with the under
standing that there be no sliding scale
and that these prices shall prevail
among all. The scale calls for $25
more trip to each place.
The pilots may accept $4,000 as the
yearly salary for masters and pilots,
but no reduction will be made in the
yearly scale for pilots, which is $1,S00
year. A meeting of the pilots may be
called to arrange a settlement to-mor-
row smorning, but up to noon no call
had been issued.
The anticipated rise in the rivers
caused many of the boat owners to
smile, and pilots were greeted cordially
to-day. One coal man said that they
needed the pilots and the pilots also
needed them. The pilots were all in a
good humor on account of the antici-
pated barge stage, and it is confidently
believed that settlement will be made
before the rise comes.

What Jamaica Offers America the
Leading Topic.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 31.-Today's
session of the commercial congress be-
gan with an address by Mayor Allen, of
Three Rivers, Canada. upon the re-
sc urces of Quebec. DR.. James Johnston.
delegate from Jamaica, spoke on What
Jamaica Offers to the United States .
He paid strong tribute to the character
and worth of the colored race in Jamaica
All slaves were made free in 1875 and
since that time no race has developed
more rapidly than those black people
Their are 500 blacks to one white He
declared that Jamaica can teach the
Southern portion of the United States
many lessons with reference to the
colored race. He declared that crime
of ai! degrees is almost unknown in
jamaica. The banana trade, he said,
is the most important industry and has
been built up in the last eighteen years.
j. =. DuerdOn, of the Jamaica Agri-
culturars society, said that the native race
was entirely disappearing, and incapacity
of the race to adapt Itself to modern civ
iliZation had driven the Indians to war
and caused the introduction of labor more
suitable to the needs. He said the de-
velopment of the fruit industry had
taken the place of the sugar and rum
industry in the prosperity of the island
Trade relations between the United
States and the Leeward Islands, was
discussed by T. Arthur Shadruck Jones
of Barbados, who spoke in support or
more careful packing Of goods by Anerl-
can manufacturers.

out that Mr.. Minor had not appraised the

other "a me
Director Hawley explained that If The

Volvlng large sums of money were also
III Jeopardy, and he thought the supreme
court had not taken this into considera-
ton when it made the ruling. az tho
bonds and credit of the city were affect
ed
1t was deemed advisable to mandamus

nad, and on motion a committee consist
ing OF Directors Hawley, Schlener and

ticn will be taken as may be deemed

FARIBAULT, MIMI, Oct. 31.-Fred
Sunberg, aged eighteen. an inmate since
last August of the state school for the
feeble minded, was found yesterday by
one of the other boys hanging from a
rope attached to beam in the hay loft
at Barron farm, the farm attached to
the state school The boy Immediately
notified DR.. Rogers and the coroner, DR..
Seeley, was called, but no inquest was
held, as it was obviously a case of sui
eide.
Sunberg had been missing since Satur-
day night, and the authorities had had
the buildings thoroughly searched and
several parties out looking for him. The
hay loft was not examined when the
buildings We're searched, as it is not read
lily accessible except by a rope or by put
ting up ladder, and there was no ladder
about the barn.
Sunberg had shown a determination to
commit suicide for many months past.
and had attempted 1t many times at his
home In Isanti county and several timas
since he came to the school here, SO that
his suicide was not wholly unexpected, al
though no extra precaution seems to have
been taken to prevent him from doing
