make a good haul. Their actions, showed that they were familiar with both the house and the claim. That they expected to ind a goodiy amount of gold dust in the safe is certain. They w90.d not have been disappointed but fer the fact ti,at on Wednesday, 2ol! dust representing four clcanup~, d soodly amount hy the way, had been brought to Nome and safely deposited The robbers, in some way CT other, had made a miocalculati0n.
 Mir Dufre-ne is congratulating him self upon hi, lucky escape, and it is safe to say that hereafter any dust that he may have on hand will Be well pre- tecjcd.
 This makes the third holdup or at tempted huldup thi, month on the creeks. The fist reported wa the robbery of the safe of the Hot Air Min in. company, on the night of Septom- Der |, by two masked men. Three nights later Cha,. >elsbach, miner on No. ], Dexter, was held up while on his way home from friends cabin. The hi@hwaymcn got nothing, how ever.
 From these circumstances it would seem as though there was an organized band of highwaymen operating upon the creeks. That they are not more successful in securing plundcr is, no doubt, due to the precautions taken by the mineOwners to safeguard their dust.

GOT A KICK
And s for S}OO Worth
 of Gold Dust,
Which Nabar0k, a Native, StOie From p. Hancock, a Beach
 Miner Below Town.

NabarolI, the native who was arrest ed in Teller and brought down on Mon day by Deputy Marshal Evans on a charge of stealing $500 in gold dust on Aug. 3l from F. Hancock. beach miner below town, had a preliminary examination in Commissioner Reed $ court yesterday. As result he was bound over to the grand jury.
 Nabarok, who speaks fair quality of English, when put upon the witness stand in his own behalf, admitted that he had taken Hancock's gold. But he said he had gone but a few hundred feet from Hancocks cabin when he met a white man, to whom he showed the gold, and he asked him what it was worth. Nabarok knew the man, be- cause he had seen him in that vicinity, and he lived in tent nearby.
 The man told Nabarok, so the latter stated, that the gold was bad gold, gave him s5 for it, then administered him a kick. and told him he would be arrested fer trying to pass spurious gold dust, and advised him to make himself 'scarce." Nabarok, thorough ly frightened, started for Teller.

A daring holdup occurred Thursday night on No. 10, Dexter creek, owned by J. <. Dufresne. The highwaymcn. however, got nothing.
 About i:3a o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Dufresne were in the cabin. There was knock on the door. Mr.. Duire,ne went to the door and opened it. The night was dark like one black cat : and as the door was opened and the stranger bidden to enter the Duire~re dOmicile, three men emerged from the darkness. On their faces were light cotton masks: in the right hand of each man there was a big gun. Mir. Dufresuc stepped back and Was immeJ- lately ordered to throw up his hands, and while two of the robbers covered him the third ordered Mrs. Dulrcsno to keep quiet.

One Rlnner For 81 Coyars.

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 10
Philadelphia has been the scene
of many notable banauets, but
what is probably the most unique
that has ever taken place here Is
to be held this evening.
Walter W. Bell, an old time
newspaper man and the only sur
vivor Of the "Last Mans Broth
erhOod, > will stand at his own
table in his dining room alone.
The table will be set for thirty
three dinners. But when aged
Mr.. Bell shall lift to his lips the
Madeira wine that he with thirty
two others bettled just forty six
years ago, there will respond to
his toast only the soludIass
voices Of thrifty two imDajpabla
presences. Every other mam-
Der Of the-brotherhooJ has died.
Mr.. Bell, whose melancholy
fate it is 10 thirty two t.asts la
thirty two vanished friends. is
80 years old. 1t was during the
years Immediately preceding the
eva Ntl tl4Sl Jt4' ttnN NNb'Ittt
Dale" was staged here, and iu
one of the scenes a bottle OF wine
was done up in a wicker hamper
and stored away to be drunk by
II last survivor. The idea was
quickly taken up by thirty three
newspaper men. one for each
State Of the Union. The first
meeting was on February 16,
1865. Since the brotherhood
was founded Mr.. Bell has never
missed one of the meetings.
Once year he has eaten and
drunk and laughed and jested
with the slowly dwidgling ranks
of good comrades who once swore
to become brothers to each other
for life. Each banquet has been
soberor, sadder than the
last Mr.. Bell considers tonight's
affair so solemn an occasion that
he will order no supper but will
confine himself to drinking to the
memories of his dead friends.

COAL MAY GO HIGHER.
Depends on the Outcome in the Ten
nessee District.

Coal dealers are looking anxiously
to the present meeting of the opera
tors IN Knoxville, Tenn, in the hope
that all existing questions of difference
between tne mine owners and miners
viii be satisfactorily settled ana that
there will be no closing down of the
mines. If an agreement is not reached
and the men so out, it means~the rails
ing Of the present price of soft coal.
The trouble is just this The pres
ent scale of wages and the agreement
made to that effect by ne men expires
the 1st OF next month. The miners
have asked the operators, who are now
in session at Knoxville, to grant a fix
ed scale of prices at So cents and GO
cents per ton in place OF the present
rate of 40 cents. A dispatch received
last night says the operators have con
eeded so cents ton There are also
several other grievances set. forth in
the petition Of the men and whether
enough of these will be conceded to
satisfy tne men and prevent a shutting
down Of the mines, is a question that
is troubling the minds of the coal
dealers.
One feature tnat adds to the anxiety
is the fact that the men are members
Of the United Mine Workers Associa-
tion of which John Mitchell, now in
Wikesbarle, Pa, is president, and to
which belong some 10000 miners
who are now out on strike in the an
