WHEN The

OPENED
VaIulhla Pap]rs Belonging to
FoTmar Attorney Ganaal
Grlggs Burst Into FIam,.

New York. Feb. l5.-Former Attorney
General John w. Griggs saw many thou
sands OF dollars worth OF his bonds and
valuable papers destroyed I'm Paterson.
N. J. Just after they had been taken, in
tact. from the ruins OF the big fire.
These papers were In his private safe
In his office where his splendid law libra
ry was burned. The safe was taken from
tho ruins and the door pried open. Sud-
denly the papers burst into flames and
were reduced To ashes.
IL is supposed gas had generated In
side the safe. Among the papers were
eight unregistered bonds each of a face
value of $1,000.
When the workmen reached the steel
lined vaults OF the Paterson National
Bank they found them practically un-
touched by the fire.
This news occasioned much relief as Il
meant that bonds worth sl.000000 are
not lost to their owners.
Gartner Stewart, having offices near
those of Mr.. Griggs, lost $4,000 in the
same manner. In an adjoining building
were the offices OF Katz Brothers. brew
ers. In their safe were bonds valued at
$4,000. When the safe was opened It's
contents were found TO be in ashes.

200 BODIES
Recovered From Ruins In Town
Destroyed by Earthquake.

Tifiis, Russian Trans Caucasia. Feb. 10
Two hundred bodies of victims OF the
earthquake which destroyed the town OF
shamaka, had been recovered up to last
evening.
1t appears certain that several hundred
bodies are buried in the assures and de-
bris caused by the shocks. The quakes
continue at intervals and the work Of
excavating In search of the victims there
fore proceeds with difficulty. Among the
dead are many women who. at the time
of the principal shock, were congregated
in the various bath houses.
st. Petersburg. Feb. l5.-The latest news
received here from Shamaka confirms the
appalling character of the earthquake at
the place. and adds that 200 corpses have
already been taken out OF the ruins. But
the piles of wreckage are so vast that the
search is necessarily slow. Most of the
victims were Musselmans. The survivors
are encamped outside the ruins OF the

10 COn,inu, tha S.TuggIa
Until They Win.

No one seems TO know just what the
next move will be in the strike situation
at Olneyville, but one thing is settled
and that is the weavers are determined
to win their point at any cost The opera
tives say that IL the weavers do not win
this fight. Olneyville will be doomed, for
the help will be at the mercy of the mill
management.
on the other hand the managers OF the
mill claim they do not propose to be die
tated TO by the workers in any one de-
partment OF their plants.
1t is certain that when the trouble Is
settled the operatives will be better or
ganized than they now are and will be-
come members OF the Textile union.
They will then be better able TO fight the
battles that may come up.
The mill managers are still making
strong efforts TO get weavers to work
and have called upon those who have
large families. This is regarded as a sort
OF intimidation and the action Will no
doubt be taken into consideration by the
labor leaders IN the near future.
The men who have been asked to go in
are placed I'm a very delicate position, for
they know that TO refuse means their dis
charge from the mill, while IL they com
fellow workers.
The majority. however has stood wcS
together in refusing TO return.

I'm the mills that TO make an impression

the mill people have resOrted 10 the trick
OF adjusting the stop motion on the
looms. and thus putting them In opera

The looms while they are without shu-
ties or warps go banging away. and pass

they are actually turning out cloth
Yesterday The News referred to the
strike OF 20 or more boys at the Riverside
mills on Thursday and their return yes
rday morning.
The boys returned and as they did not
come oat al once IL was Supposed they
had been set 90 work. but such was not
the fact. for they were discharged and
their places filled by Polish women. IL
Is claimed by those who know that the
work Is not OF the sort that should be
performed by women. and IL is said a
committee Will call upon the woman mill
inspector and lay the case before her.
The wcavcrs held a largely attended
meeting yesterday afternoon and another

indication OF wavering on the part of any
OF them.

The recent arrest OF the gentlemen
burglars" Tom and Louis Crogan in
Jersey city, the particulars of which were
recently published. caused something OF
a stir in East Providence. where they
formerly lived and where a sister still

At that time. as at present. the father
OF the family carried on the business OF
biacksmithing in Newport, and owned
a nome in the city by the sea as well as
the one in Arlington street. in East Provi-
dence.
During the fathers busy season In the
summer the family lived at tho Newport

East Providence. The Crogan boys were

II also came out at the hearing that
Mr.. Cushing had secured a writ To pre-
vent MIR. Miller from leaving the state,
but had been unable TO serve IT,
Judge Douglas thought IL would be use-
less 10 grant an allowance or determine as
to who should have the custody OF the
child because the attempt 10 get the re-
spondent into court had not been sue
cessful.
Mr.. Gushing said that Miller had boast
ed that no court in this state or no men,
ber OF the court could compel him To do
what he did not want TO do.
Mr. Cushing further said that an order
should be granted. giving Mrs. Miller the
custody OF her child. and as Mr.. Miller
could engage eminent counsel In Boston

est counsel for Mrs. Miller should be CIV

HAVOC OF THE REMINISCENT.
An Invitation That Carried with IL
. Serious Reflection Upon
Family Trait.

1t is only tactful people who should
be allowed to give personal reminis-
cences, but unfortunately they are not
the only ones, who do give them, says
London Tit-Bits.
"How well l remember your father
when 1 was a little grill" lately said an
elderly woman to a Newcastle clergy
man. "He used to come to our house
to dinner. We were always delighted
to see him, children and all"
THAT is very pleasant to hear" said
the clergyman, with a smile; but the
narrator remained gravely uncon-
scous of his interruption.
81 remember what hearty appetite
he had" she continued, blandly. ut
was a real pleasure to see him eat.
Why, when mother would see him COM
ing along the road she's send Inc run
ming out to the cook and say: Tell
Mary to put on just twice as much Of
everything as she had planned, for
here is Mr.. Brown coming to dine with
us!'"
The eminent son endeavored to pre-
serve a proper expression of counte-
nance at this interesting "Reminiscences,
but his composure was sorely tried
when, with great cordiality, the lady
said:
"You are so much like your father!
Won't you come home and dine with
us after the service?"
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1902-07-24

The late Sir John Stainer, one of
England's most celebrated musicians
and composers, was once staying in a
small Swiss village, and the English
clergyman was on the lookout for a
musician to assist at the service.
Stainer was in the office of the hotel
when the clergyman found him, and
started the conversation with: do you
play the harmonium?"
"a little" was the reply of the ex-
organist of st. Pau's cathedral.
"Will you, then, be good enough to
help us out of our difficulty on Sunday ?
We will read the Psalms, and the hymns
shall be the simplest can select" add
ed the delighted parson.
81 will o my best" said Stainer, with
a smile.
The service proceeded satisfactorily,
but the congregation at the close lis
tened to brilliant recital. When the
parson heard the name of his assist
ant he asked him to dinner. ''Do you
smoke" he asked at the close.
81 wiIl do my best" responded Ssain-
er, and the ensuing laughter was the
prologue of an entertaining exchange
