ton Against Delegates. to the
Miners Convention.

Pittsburg, Feb. 10-The conflict be-
tween President Dolan, of the local dis
trict of United Mine Workers, and the
delegates to the district convention
now in session, who for five days have
tried to oust Dolan from his Office has
been taken into the courts. Dolan yes
terday secured a preliminary injunc-
tion in common pleas court No. 2,
which restrained the delegates to the
convention from interfering with his
presiding over their meeting, from
putting him out of Office, from taking
possession of the books and property
of which he is the custodian, and from
electing his successor as president.
One hundred and thirty-six delegates
are named, and the injunction was
served on these individually, while
they were in the convention hall.
When this latest move of Dolan's be-
came known there were loud boots
and Kisses in the hall and renewed
scenes of disorder.

Tells of the Secret Oath
of Vengeance.
INMORMONCREED.
Prof. W. M. Wolfe, Once a Teacher
in d Mormon College, Gives
Evidence to Senators.

Washington, Feb. S.-Exposure OF
Mormon polygamous marriages and Of
the secret oath of vengeance taken in
the Endowment House" at Salt Lake
City were made Wednesday by Prof.
Walter Nj. Wolfe, formerly professor
in Brigham Young college at Logan,
Utah, but now an apOstate of the
church because a month ago he re-
fused longer to comply with the de-
mand for tithes.
His testimony was taken before the
senate committee hearing evidence
against the seating of Senator Reed
Smoot, of Utah, which has already
continued intermittently through two
sessions of congress and will probably
drag along until the end of the pres
ent session.
Twelve times" answered Prof.
Wolfe when asked how many times
he had been through the endowment
house or temple, he explained, as the
endowment house was torn down
many years ago.
did you take any oaths when you
went through?" asked Mr.. Carlisle.
Every time" he replied. Asked
to detail them, he said there had been
obligations of charity, sacrifice and
vengeance.
What do you mean by Vengeance"
asked Mr.. Carlisle. "Do you mean
there was a promise or pledge given
to avenge something?"
The witness then said that this oath
had been taken: you and each of
you do covenant and pray, and never
cease to pray God to avenge the blood
of the prophet on this nation"
Mr.. Worthington asked concerning
the oaths in the temple and the wit
ness said he believed that in the obli-
cation of vengeance, "the seed of trea-
son is planted" He said he realized
that within an hour after he had taken
the oath and had taken it only once
for himself. The other II times, he
said,' had been for dead persons
An effort was made by Mr.. Worth
ington to procure an unqualified an
swer as to whether there was anything
in the endowment house ceremony
which would interfere with anyone
taking 1t serving in the United
/ States senate, and whether such per-
sons duties to the church and country
would conflict. The witness declared
that every Mormon's first duty is to
the Church of Latter Day Saints.

A FATAL POTION.
One Soldier Dead, Another Dying and
Eight Others Made I'll by Drink
ing Wood Alcohol.

New York, Feb. 8.-From drinking
too freely of wood alcohol which had
been smuggled into Castle William,
the military prison on Governors ISL
and, one soldier is dead, another is
dying and eight are seriously i'll in the
hospital. Gen. Grant, in command Of
the Department of the East, has or
dered a rigid investigation.
Robert Elwell, &c years Old priv
ate serving a two years sentence for
desertion from a New England post,
was the first to show the effects of the
alcohol. Early yesterday he aroused
the entire castle with cries of Help.
I am burning up. VIII nobody help
me? l am burning up" When the
guard reached his side he was writh-
ing in pain shrieking and crying for
help. He was removed to the hospital
and the post surgeon was summoned.
Restoratives failed and he died in a
few minutes
Scarcely had his cries ceased when
screams came from the cell occupied
by Richard Sullivan, a private, also 26
years old, who is serving a short term
for desertion. Sullivan was removed
to the hospital and at late hour was
reported unconscious with little pros
pect of recovery. 1t was not until eight
other prisoners were found writhing
and moaning from pain that the real
source of the trouble was learned.

TOWN SWEPT BY FIRE.
ittIeton, w. Va, Is Almost Destroyed
-150 Families are Homeless.

New Martinsville, w. Va, Feb. TO-
Fire broke out in Littleton, an oil
town near here, Friday, and before it
could be eXtinguished nearly every
business house was destroyed about
500 of the 800 inhabitants were with
out homes and a financial loss of more
than 100000 was sustained. The fire
broke out about noon in the w. NJ.
Crow grocery, in the center of the
town. In less than 80 minutes from
the time the alarm of fire was rung
the building was a mass of flame. In
side of 20 the entire business block
along the Baltimore & Ohio track was
blazing. In it was the Bank of Little
ton, the opera house. the Commercial
hotel and several smaller stores and
residences. From this block the
flames swept across the Baltimore &c
Ohio railroad track to the Exchange

spread from house to house with great
rapidity.

AT tt-SCORE YEARS AND TEN.
A Philadelphia Woman is Convicted of
the Murder of her GrandchiId.

Philadelphia, Feb. 10.-Sarah Jones,
a T0-year- old woman, was convicted of
murder in the first degree in the court
of oyer and terminer here Friday for
the killing of her foster daughters
child within a few hours after it was
born. The case is a pathetic one and
excited the sympathies not only of the
lawyers on each side, but also those of
the trial judge and the jury Mrs
Mary Jones, mother of the dead child
and Frank Jones, the son of the aged
woman, are also under indictment for
completely in the murder.
The evidence produced at the trial
showed that when the child was born
the grandmother asked the attending
physician to chloroform the babe,
which he declined to do. The doctor
notified the police of his suspicious
and an investigation showed that the
child had been asphyxiated with the
deadly drug. Counsel for the defense
contended that the evidence was only
circumstantial and that to guess what
the grandmother had done would be a
travesty on justice.

BUSINESS BULLETIN.
Reports are More Satisfactory Than a
Week Ago.

New York, Feb. 10.-R. G. Dun G
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Distribution of heavy weight ar-
parel. fuel and other seasonable mer-
chandise expanded rapidly in response
to the more normal temperature, but
one weeks business has not depleted
the accumulation of last month, and
retail stocks of these goods are still
burdensome. Reports are much more
satisfactory, however, and an impetus
has been given to wholesale ttrade in
spring dry goods and other forward
business depending upon confidence in
continued national prosperity
Jobbing returns and manufacturing
statements indicate little idle capac-
ity, the leading industrial plants hav-
ing added to their already heavy con-
tracts on hand. The only adverse de-
velopment of the week was the less
pacific news from the coal fields.
Failures this week numbered 229 in
the United States against 256 last
year, and 20 in Canada, against q a
year ago.

principal ones being at Mount Leban-

TOO MUCH RED TAPE.
zx-Engineer Wallace Says that Work
on Panama Canal Is lmpeded by 1t.

Washington, Feb. 8.-John F. Wal
lace, former chief engineer of the 18TH
mian canal commission, yesterday
concluded his testimony before the
senate canal committee. He said the
red tape necessary to the system in
volved in government work compelled
him to favor the contract plan of
building the canal in order to expedite
its completion. He thought the man
in charge of the work on the isthmus
should be the undisputed head, with
the governor of the zone second. and
the man who has charge of the pro-
authority.

Brooklyn the other day, was in COM
mand in 200 battles during the civil
war and under fire in 800 sllirmishes

circumstances challenged even the
admiration of Gen. Grant. In the war
with Spain with 964 dsmounted caval-
Tymen, he routed 1000 Spaniards in

of the war with Cuba. He was a close
student of military affairs.

1t has long been known that the
fermentation of bread caused the
formation of alcohol, but it was sup
posed that it passed from the dough
during the process of baking. Several
scientists have now come forward and
proved that bread, when ready for
eating, contains an average of 500
per cent. of alcohol to the loaf In
many countries strong liquors are
brewed from bread. Kvass, the mild
Russian beer, is brewed from brown
bread
