Prisoners Had Weapons.

Thomaston, Me.-The information
has just leaked out from the state
prison that when Warden Bernes o,
Norton took possession in December
and made an inspection of the cells,
every prisoner was found supplied
with a more or less effective weapon,
Some of them had knives, some
had razors, while others had clubs OF
wood. Drawshaves, monkey wrench
es gimlets, avis, files, every thing
short of firearms were found in the
possession of the prisoners. 1t is said
" razors were found.
Prisoners have been allowed to
make curios and souvenirs for gift
or sale. Finally one or two were per
mitted to take knives and pieces OF
wood to their cells. Others were ac
corded the same privilege, and with
out realizing the danger that was
growing up, the practice increased
till 1t reached the dimensions which
were found.
There were no firearms In the col
lection, and it is probable THAT tbs
guards, armed with revolvers and re
peating rifles, could have quelled any
outbreak that might have arisen.
Warden Norton has established a
system of regular inspection ana
search Of every cell and prisoner
each week, and any prisoner found
with contraband articles will be dis
ciDlined.

Manufacturers Submit Terms.

st. Petersburg-The association of
St. Petersburg manufacturers has
adopted the following resolutions:
"First--All points of the mems de-
mands concerning the eight-hour day,
participation of the men In fixing pay
for piece work and regulation of the
internal workings of factories, etc,
shall not be discussed, but submitted
to the minister of finance with the
view to their settlement legislatively.
Second-Regarding special de-
mands advanced at the different works
discussion is inadvisable until the men
have resumed work.
"Third-Recognizin that the men
were drawn into the movement by
other than economic causes, the asso-
citation unanimously voted that no mu-
tual bitterness exists, and has, there
fore, decided to meet the worlmen,
not TO apply the penalties for wasted
time, not to endeavor to discover the
instigatOrs and leaders Of the strike,
or to employ special measures against
them and to collect funds for the sup
port of the families of the victims, and
in this respect to make no difference
between voluntary and coerced stril-
ers.
"Fourth-The association in order
not to create precedent by paying
for the time they have been engaged
in the strike, will grant assistance to
the necessitous which need not be re-
paid"

Russian Ministers, Salaries.

The salary attached to the post OF
minister OF the interior III RUSSIA is
the same as that received by all the
other Russian ministers-namely 49,
600 roubles a year--a rouble being A
cents-but a further sum of 100000
roubles is annually put at the disposal
of the minister of the interior, of
which he is not called on to render
any account This is in addition to
the ordinary secret service money, the
amount of which is practically unlim-
tied. Another minister who receives
an addition to his salary is the min
lister of finance, who is paid percent
age, sometimes amounting to $4,000
roubles a year, on all unpaid taxes
and debts to the Crown which he may
succeed in recovering during his term
of office. 1t is noteworthy that even
if a minister should hold his portfolio
only for a few months his salary is
paid to him for Waverley Maya

TRAIN STRUCK SLEIGH.
Out Of a Party Of Thirteen Women
Ten Are Killed.

Hornellsville, N. Y.-A passenger
train on the Pittsburg, Shawmut &
Northern railroad recently crashed in
to a sleigh containing a party of l3
women, killing 10 of them and seri-
ously injuring the remaining three,
Some of the latter are in a serious
condition. The accident occurred near
Arkport. The sleigh was one of three

The injured Mrs. F. r. Rowley,
Mrs. Bond, Mrs Wallace Clark,
The members of the Ladies Aid
society of the Universalist church went
to the Baldwin farmhouse near Ark
port to spend the afternoon. 1t was
nearly dark when they started on the
return trip to the city. The occupants
of the leading sleigh saw the train
approaching as they nearad the Shaw
NUT crossing. The driver urged his
horses ahead and the sleigh passed
over in safety.
The women in the first sleigh at
tempted to warn those in the one fol-
lowing of the danger and they did
succeed in directing their attention
to the rapidly approaching train. The
driver pulled up his horses, but he
could not check the heavy bObsled
quickly enough and when it came to
a standstill the box of the sleigh was
directly across the railroad track. The
pilot of the engine struck the sleigh
with great force, reducing it to splint
ers and hurting the women in all di.
rections. Every woman on the sleigh
was killed or injured.
The bodies of the dead we're placed
upon the train and the injured were
tenderly laid upon improvised cots
