Especial Correspondence ]

Lansing, Jan. 9.-The senatorial con-
test and its results are said TO have
left some sores which it will require
much time and tact TO heal. Ii goes
without saying that the adherents of
Gov. Pingree and Albert Pack, who
withdrew from the contest at the elev-
enth hour, leaving the field to Senator
Burrows, are loud in their accusations
of each other, the one charging that
Pack sold out, and the other that the
part played by Pingree and his follow
ers was of such character as to make
certain Packs defeat, and left him no
other course to pursue than withdraw
al. Each wing shows an evident de-
sire TO carve the other.

b Ids of the oldest and most eNpe-
WI ced political workers in the state

I'll, but had all sorts of money

without head and with scarce
pose. With organization, sys-
method, Burrows could easily

length came. The contest for

Washington, May 11.-R. G. Brooks,
of Scranton, Pa, and Walter ]. Mullin,
of Wooster. O., were before the indus
trial commission yesterday. Both are
mine owners in their respective locali-
ties. Both complained of the discrim-
nation of the railroads which own coal
rnires and both spoke favorably of the
labor organizations. Brooks said that
in the anthracite regions nearly ali
the railroad companies control mines
either in their own behalf or for their
officers He said the independent mine
owners had nothing to do with fix
ing the price of their product, as the
railroad companies insisted upon doing
that service for them. The railroads
could afford to lose money in the mines
they run because of the profit they Sc
cure in carrying the coal This fact al
lowed them to depress the profits of the
independent operators to a very low
level
When asked whether the railroad
companies could not fix the price so that
they could close every Independent op-
orator he replied that they had that
power. but did not exercise it, he sup
posed because IT would be too fragrant

Chattanooga, Tenn, May 11.-Dr. l..
P. Bagwell, a leading physician and
druggist of Spring Place, a village in
Murray county. Ga, with his three chill
dren, aged 10, and years, and an
aged woman who did housekeeping du-
ties, were burned to death in a fire that
consumed their home at 4 o'clock yes
terday morning. The residence was just
outside of the little town, and parties
arriving after the alarm had been given
saw DR.. Bagwell with his three children
IN his arms making his way amid the
smoke and blaze to front window.
Before he reached the window, how
ever he was overcome by the heat and
smoke and fell, being covered with the
burning debris. Two young men whose
names were not learned were boarding
with Dr. Bagwell, and they barely es-
capped, both being horribly burned, and
it is feared they will die,

RADICAL LAWS IN MICHIGAN.
Grain Speculation n Felony-BiII to Crush

the TruSt-kal1way Taxation.
Lansing. Mich. May 1.-THE house
has passed bill making it a felony for
a person to deal in stocks, grain or
other commodity unless he is prepared
to actually receive and deliver the COM
modify. The house committee on revision
of the laws favorably reported a bill
providing for the application of the In
diana system of assessing to all prop
erty, except that of railroad. telegraph,
telephone and express companies. This
applies to all other corporate property.
A bill passed the senate yesterday
practically shutting trusts out of Mich
igan and its friends claim votes enough
in the house to pass il. 1t is radical in
its provisions and seems to cover the
whole ground. In addition to criminal
and civil penalties provided any person
injured in his business by trust may
sue and recover two-fold the damages
sustained.
Governor Pingree announced yester-
day that he would not attempt to get
through this session of the legislature
any taxation measure similar to the
Pingree-Atkinson railroad taxation bill
which was annulled by the supreme
court. as the time before adjournment
was too short. He wants. however, TO
have bill passed that will increase the
taxes paid by railroads under the pres
ent law by about $500 coo.

HARD ON B. AND L. SOCIETIES.
Ruling in Illinois That May Drive Them
All Out of That State.

Springfield, Ills, May 11.-Attorney
General f. c. Akin has given an opin-
ion which, if upheld by the courts, will
seriously cripple building and loan as
sociations, if it does not drive out of
existence every such organization in the
state. He holds that notes, bonds,
mortgages and stocks of associations
cannot be assessed to the association;
that the stock must be listed in the
name of the holder, this rule being ap-
plicable not only to non-borrowers but
also to shares held in pledge as security
for loans.
The borrower must be assessed not
only on the property mortgaged but
also on the pledged shares on which his
loan was secured; nor is he entitled to
any set off, or deduction against the
value of his stock or on account of
money borrowed by him from the asso-
citation.

A reception was rendered to Captain
Maynard and the officers of the Nash
Vile last night at the Mercantile club.
1t was an invitational affair, and about
1,500 members of St Louis society were
in attendance. Captain Maynard made
a short speech in which he thanked the
city of St. Louis for the welcome ac-
corded the Nashville, and said he re-
GREETED that the Nashville was not
larger to receive all St. Louis, but she
was large enough for what the govern
ment intended her for. Later in the
evening the reception was succeeded by
a ball. Today the Nashville will be
opened for the reception of visitors.

break their power. They preferred mere
ly to allow the independent miners to
exist. and their low prices forced the
mine operators TO grind down prices for
mining coal. Mullin agreed with the
foregoing
Speaking OF the operations of the la
Dor organizations Mullin said they had
been in the interest of the mine own
ers, because they insured most stable
prices and a certain security in many
ways which could not otherwise be had.
Notwithstanding their organization the

Buffalo, ". Y, May 1.-THE trouble
between Contractor Corners and the
grain shovelers was nearer a settle
menI last night than at any time since
the shipping season opened. The pros
poets were that before the end of the
week the whole matter would be
slaughtered out. the grain blockade be
raised and the men be at work. Be
tween the time when the meeting of the
grain sh5velers. at which Bishop Quig-
ley submitted his report of the Monday
night conference with the lake car
riers, ended yesterday afternoon, ard
10 o'clock last night the aspect of the
situation changed completely. In the
afternoon the grain shoveIers and their
leaders and advisers apparently were
firm in their determinati ton to accept no
compromise. Last night the leaders
were prepared to make terms along the
lines laid down in the last proposition
made by the lake carriers.
Another Conference at the Bishops.
This provided for the appointment of
n general superintendent, who should
have entire charge of the unloading of
grain at this port and who was to be
appointed by Bishop Quigley and paid
ners. the present contractor. merely to
draw his commission until the end of
the year, when his contract expires.
This change of attitude was brought
about by a conference held at Bishop
Quigley's residence last night, at which
the bishop. Rev. Father O'ConnelI;
President Keefe, of the International
Longshoremen's association, and the
officers OF the Grain Shovelers union
IT., i
chairman The situation was discussed
fully and president Keefe advised that
the last proposition made by the Lake
Carriers association be accepted.
Might Lose the Whole Fight.
He pointed out the fact that if the
present offer made by the lake carriers
is spurned all might be lost by reason
of the possible inability of the leaders
TO hold the grain shovelers together and
prevent them from accepting the terms
individually. The leaders of the grain
shovelers expressed doubt as to their
ability to induce the men to agree to
any terms other than those which they
themselves had proposed. John Nj. Hen
messy. member of the committee, was
delegated to wait on the shovelers and
ask them if they would agree to the
proposition made by the lake carriers.
He returned some time afterward with
the information that the grain shovel
ers had again voted not to return to
work unless the contract is abrogated.
Possible Proposal of the Strikers.
The conference lasted until 1890
o'clock. Before adjournment it became
evident that the leaders of the grain
shovelers We're ready to advise the men
to compromise. 1t was stated last night
that in the event of the Lake Carriers
association again refusing to abrogate
the contract the grain shovelers will
ask that Corners share of the contract
price be cut down to PIG cents per 1000
bushels. The conference with the rep
resentatives CT the lake carriers, it is
understood now. will be held tomorrow.
