And thought of next year's election.

Tbat the boys in blue wotud tread down his fame,And make it qui ie lively for Orover.

Loudly they'll talk of his copperhead style.And curse him both frequent and hearty;

Yet little he'll reck, retaining the smile.Of the fine old Bourbon party.

But half of his heavyask was o'erWhen the news from the country reached him.

And he knew, as he read how the veterans swore.That each loyal heart impeached him.

Slowly and sadly he bit his thumb.On his brow was a cloudlet of thunder '

He spoke not to Dan, he beat not a Drum,And they left him alone with his blunder.

Prospect of a Contest Between the Amalgamated and the Mill Owners.

Pittsburg, June 20. At to-day- 's session ofthe Amalgamated Association, the committee onconstitution recommended that the clause resding "working by the ton" be so arranged thatmen working by the day may also become members of the association. This will take in nearlyeverybody employed about a mill, and will increase the membership several thousand. Theproposition in reference to prohibiting membersof the Knights of Labor from joining the association was amended so as to read: "On andafter April 1, 188S, no member of this associa-tion can become a member of tbe Knights ofLabor." A recommendation that the mills beshut down for two weeks during the summerfailed to pass. With these amendments andchanges, the report, after a lengthy discussion,was adopted.

The wage committee of the Iron Manufactur-ers' Association held a secret meeting here to-day to consider the scale proposals of the Amal-gamated Association. The committee refusedto officially make public the action taken, butfrom a reliable source it was learned that theydecided to take a firm stand and not grant anyadvance, not even to the boilers. B. F. Jones,president of the association, stated this after-noon that the scale presented by the workmenwas absurd and would not be signed by the man-ufacturers. The joint conference of the iron-workers and manufacturers' committee to con-sider the wage question will be held to morrow.

The Pennsylvania Evictions.Natrona, Pa, June 20. The work of evict-

ing the strikers of the Pennsylvania salt worksfrom the company's houses was begun to-da- y byDeputy Sheriff Carson and three assistants.The furniture of two families was carried outand set on the street. No more evictions wereattempted. Tbe strikers are inclined to be quiet,and so far have offered no resistance.

Labor .Notes.Philadelphia Record.

' Fresh block-coa- l developments have just beenmade in eastern Ohio.

The coal miners in the West have decided todo all the work they can this year rather thanstrike.

Land is steadily rising in value, and yet no ef-

fort is made by labor unions to purchase andhold a few thousand acres.

Late news from Southern mines shows a greatimprovement in demand, growing out of thespread of manufacturing industries.

The labor of 300 convicts in the Sonth Caro-lina penitentiary is offered at 40 cents a day forwomen and boys, and 50 cents for men.

The Pittsburg coke interests are not pleasedwith Andrew Carnegie for cabling a surrender tothe coke-worke- rs on the point of a general sur-render. '

Judge McArthur's ODinion as to the effect ofthe rules of trades-union- s on the young men ofthe country has been read in a great manyunions, and has caused much discussion.

Mechanics attending boilers and engines arebeing taught to regulate tbe water feed in sucha way that there will be no irregular flow,whichis found to be productive of a tendency to ex-

plode.Electric-ligh- t plants are going np very rapid-

ly. Chicago electricians say they can light allChicago with fifteen electric plants, costing$45,000 each. It cost that city in 1885 $604,65L42for gas.

Labor organizers among the Knights and trade-unionis- ts

are taking a brief rest, and will do nomore for the summer than to speak at celebra-tions. Nearly all the Knights will celebrate theFourth.

American manufacturers of cotton goods aresending samples of goods to Mexieo, accompaniedby a code by which telegraphic orders can be sentfor goods, which are sent by next steamer. Thisquick way of doing business is slowly driving outother foreign trade.

A Chicago firm uses from 8,000 to 10,000 gal-lons of blood, daily, to make buttons, besidesbreastpins, belt-clasp- s, combs and , trinkets.Evaporation leaves pure albumen, which is driedinto thin sheets and broken up and pressed to-

gether into various shapes.There are contracts out among the car works

for 40,000 cars. Nearly all the railroad com-panies have arrangements under way for in-

creasing their shop facilities. The Pennsylva-nia railroad will lead off with a $500,000 machineand repair shop. Machine-sho- p work is in veryactive demand.

The development of the, wooien industry inWisconsin and Iowa, and t'ne cotton industry inTexas, Arkansas, and further West, especiallyin view of coal and natural-ga- s developments, isassuming an important phase, and tbe time maysoon come when the far West and far South willnot be quite so dependent on the far East fortextile goods.

The Chicago master builders have taken stepsto effect a national organization of building in-terests in all the large cities, mainly for the pur-pose of resisting the unjust demands of labor.Tbe publicity given to their hostility is beingused by organized labor to work up a strongcounter-movemen- t. The builders in differentcities have very little direct interest in common,while the workmen have.

The construction of houses for employes is nowbecoming as i mportant a matter as tbe construc-tion of a manufactory. In new localities it is anecessity; iu old localities it is advisable. TheNorthern Pacific is investing $500,000 at Man-da- n,

D. T., for shops, and foundries, and 500houses for. workmen. Scores of corporations,firms and individual employers all over the coun-try are investing in tbe same way.

The development of coal and natural gas infar-of- f localities is giving an impulse to number-less little industries hitherto dependent on dis-tant fuel. Natural gas is found in Dakota andTexas, and they are after it in Colorado. Naturalgas is plenty in Utah, and much money is beingdevoted to its utilization. A sixty-mil- e pipeline is to be laid from the Indiana field to Chica-go, and this enterprise has stimulated manufacturers of artificial fuel to furnish fuel gas ascheap as natural gas for manufacturing purposes.

The cotton goods manufacturers are having agood season. All the leading makes are sold upor oversold, and prices continue nrm. i newoolen goods manufacturers are not quite rowell off, though all anticipate a reviving demandand strong prices. Gingham-mill- s are generallybusy, though competition is experienced fromsome New England corporationa The dyers'strike at Paterson proves to have been a goodthing for the domestic silk manufacturers in pre-venting an overstock and a consequent depres-sion in prices.

The labor situation is improving week byweek as to abundance of work and rate of wages.Emyloyers are generally deprived of the argu-ment of dull times. Workmen refuse to listen tocalculations showing that margins are declining,and do not believe it. There is a scarcity of laborin factories, mills and shops. Agricultural andmining labor is plenty, but not to the limit ofdepressing rates. Printers are well employed.Coopers are doing better. . Lithographers areall busy. The building trades have no time tospare. A large percentage of the Chicago work-men have resumed on their own terms, and inother cities the demands made have been com-

plied with lest there should be a repetition of theChicago trouble.

Satisfying IJotli Sides..Boston, June 20. Sometime ago the Council

granted tbe use of Fanueil Hall for a celebra-tion in honor of Queen Victoria's jubilee to-morrow night. This brought out a protest anda petition to reseind the action. The Councilconsidered tbe matter this afternoon and, by atie vote, declined to change the order, butgranted a permit for the use of old hall to-nig-

oy those opposed to its occupancy by the En-glishmen.

Through some mistake the hall was notopened till 9 o'clock, and it was immediatelypacked with people. Speeches were made byJohn Boyle O'Reilly and others, denouncing thealdermen for allowing tbe use of tbe buildingfor such a purpose. A committee was Appointed,with instructions to secure tbe object sought bypersuading the Mayor, if possible, to veto thepermit for night.

Preller'a Murderer To Be Banged.St. Lotrts, June 20. A soecial telegram from

Jefferson City to the Post-Dispatc- h says: "TheState Supreme Court this morning gave a de-

cision in the Hugh M. Brooks, alias H. LennoxMaxwell, murder case, in which the finding oftbe trial court is affirmed. This is the cele-brated case in which Brooks, under the name ofMaxwell, was tried for the murder of CharlesArthur Preller, at the Southern Hotel, in thiscity, in April 1885, and which was taken no tothe Supreme Court on exceptions.

Excitement Over Wbst Is Tbonght To Be a

Big Deal In Natural Gas.Special to the Indianapolis onrnal.

Wabash, June 20. Reports reached here today that a gigantic natural-ga- s pipe-lin- e projectwas on foot, and that the great Jumbo gaa wellat Fairmount, Grant county, bad been sold to asyndicate of Buffalo capitalists who would sinkother wells and pipe the fluid to Chicago to sup-ply that city. Your reporter visited Fairmountthis afternoon for the purpose of running downthe story. A call was made upon Scott'sbank. Mr. Scott admitted that he knewall the facts in the gas deal, butrefused to reveal all he knew. He stated, how-

ever, tbat the Jumbo well was sold on Saturdayto a Buffalo syndicate, who would pipe the gas,but he could not say exactly where the pipe linewould go. The lot on which the well stands hadbeen sold to W. H. Best, of Buffalo, and thedeed duly recorded in his name. Sir. Scott positively refused to give the names of the syndicate Sir. Best represents, saying they bad en-

joined the most profound secrecy onhis part. Mr. Scott vouchsafed the'further information that the deal4 hasbeen on the tapis for the past three days.There has been considerable haggling aboutthe price to be paid for the monster well, whichis admitted the most powerful in Indiana. Mr.Best has succeeded in leasing considerable landabout Fairmount, and is desirous of securingmore. In one case he offered $100 a year forfive years for a small strip of land, and agreedto furnish free gas to the owner. From othersources the reporter learned that Mr. Best isacting under the immediate directions andorders of J. Satterfieid, of Buffalo. He isamply supplied with funds, and the syndicate isevidently a very wealthy one.

W. C. Winslow, a prominent business man anda heavy stockholder in the Fairmount Naturat-ga- s

Company, was briefly interviewed. Mr.Winslow said the big well had been sold to Buf-

falo parties, who would pipe the gas to Chicagofor the purpose of supplying that city. The pipeline, it is understood, is to run north on the Cin-

cinnati, Wabash So Michigan railway to Goshen,and thence into Chicago along the Lake Shorerailway. The towns along the waywhich are out of the gas belt are tobe suplied. The plan is to purchase and also tosink a number of wells, and thus be able to putan immense flow of gas into the pipe-lin- e. Anair of mystery pervades the scheme which givespromise of being the biggest pipe-lin- e on record.It is believed in Fairmount that the StandardOil Company is backing the project secretly.Mr. Best bad gone to Marion to purchase morewells, and could not be seen.

'Shooting" tbe New Castle Gas Well,fpecial to tue Indianapolis Journal. "

New Castle, June 20. The gas well herewas shot, this evening at 7 o'clock, with one hun-dred quarts of & tro- - glycerine and a good flowof gas developed. Two minutes after the go-de-

was dropped into the well a great columnof water arose to the height of 125 feet, and im-

mediately the gas came rushing out with a noiseequal to the escaping steam from a locomotive.Wben a pipe Mas attached and tbe gas lighted, itb!azed no twenty feet, and a shout of gratifica-tion went up from tbe crowd assembled to wit-ness the operation. Tbe well is pronounced asuccess, and is claimed by these who have seenthe wells at Muncie to be equal to those.

A Series of Marriages Wbicli Has Almost Depopulated Two Famlliea.

6pecial to the Indianapolis Journal.Marshall. June 20. A remarkable series of

marriages occurred in Wabash township lastweek. Thomas and Josiah Black, two brothers,who live just across the line in Vigo county,Indiana, eloped with and married two younggirls by the name of Smith. Tbomas Blackmarried Mattie, daughter of Robert Smith, andJosiah was wedded to Cora Ellen, daughter ofGeorge Smith, Robert's brother. They drove toParis. Edgar county, Illinois, together, and therethe knot was tied. Both the Smiths wereviolently opposed to their daughters marryingthe Black boys, for no apparent reason however,as two finer young fellows could not be found.The climax was capped, however, bv the marriage, on Saturday, of Perry Allen Smith, thenineteen-yea- r old son ot Ueorge ismith, to EttaBlack, sister to Tom and Josiah.

Now the question will come. How shall I go towork to improve my grounds? Many times onlya slight change will work wonders in the appear-ance of a place. The cutting out of a few trees,the leveling and turning over of broken banksand lawns, with application of good fertilizers audgrass-see- d, tbe judicious planting of a few newshrubs and trees, the rearrangement of the gar-den on an improved plan, the purchase and useof lawn-mowe- r and pruning-shear- s. will all oreach go to improve a place and make it pleasingfor all who see it.

Where an extensive change is to be made, wemust first investigate the surface soil, as it is ofthe greatest importancce, for good results can-not be obtained on a poor soil, and tbe soil can-not be too good.

There should be a foot at least of good soilwhere a lawn and flowering plants are desired;if such a soil is not there naturally, it should bemade. But it is seldom the case on small placesthat there is not soil enough. If the ground isto be broken for a new house, the good soil fromthe cellar should be placed where it can be used,not covered up, as it often is, with the gravel be-low. In old places the walks and drives are oftenbuilt on a bed of good soil that may be removedand used, and its place taken by stones and grav-el, that will make a better road.

When walks and drives are to be located, theyshould be placed only where they will be re-

quired for every-da- y use, and as direct from oneplace to another as practicable not necessarilystraight, but on graceful sweeps and curveswhich are so much more pleasing. The groundshould be graded in graceful slopes away fromthe house; the higher it stands the more neces-sity there is to avoid terraced banks, for theyhave the effect of making the bouse appear tostand higher than it does.

One of the main benefits of the recent cy-clone of patriotic indignation that so quicklyawed and coerced Mr. Cleveland into a swift re- -'

eantation of his illegal, unwise, uncalled forand in all ways mischievous and idiotie order,should be the popular study of Mr. Cleveland'speculiar nature, as revealed by his whole, con-du- et

in regard to the captured flags. The testtbat would disclose him to be what his anteced-ents guranteed he would be, was sure to come,sooner or later. It has come and has foundhim utterly deficient in tbe sentiments and sen-sibilities tbat make war romantic in its conductand in its records; that enable ex-Uni- and

soldiers to honor each other, with-out loss of pride or conviction, and that have soconsecrated tbe captured flags inthe custody ofthe Nation tbat no power could take them fromtheir places without arousing just such a tem-pest of patriotic wrath as alarmed aud movedeven so dull and pachydermatous a man as Mr.,Cleveland.

How Cabinet Meeting Are Conducted.Interview with an Officer. :

. "What is the process in a Cabinet meeting ofbeginning the business? Does the President gothrough his Cabinet with a system, or do theyjust walk around and have a confab?"

estate, where the remains of Washington lie en-

tombed, has been enlarged by the addition of atract of thirty --three and one-hal- f acres on thenorthern side, near the old Washington mansion.It was secured through the generosity of JayGould. While on his way up tbe Potomac fromFortress Monroe, recently, in his yacht, Mr.Gould stopped at Mount Vernon and was shownaround the grounds. He expressed great inter-est in the place and in the admirable manner inwhich it is cared for.

mediately authorized the purchase of the landat bis expense, and it has been bought andturned over to the Mount Vernon regents. Theprice paid is not known. ,

MEXICO'S LOST WEALTH.

The Long-Practic- ed Custom of Burying Goldand Sliver Coin Flipper Talks.

Correspondence St. Louis Globe-Democr-

Lieutenant Flipper, formerly of the UnitedStates army, whose land explorations in Mexicofor several years past Have enabled him to col-

lect much valuable information about the peopleand the country, recently told some interestingthings about this custom of burying coin.

"I have found very few places in Mexico." saidthe Lieutenant, "which could not furnish sev-eral traditions of hidden treasure. This is agreat country for traditions. Much of the his-

tory of Mexico is tradition. The churchesabound in traditions. Everyone of the old mineshas some tradition connected with it. But I be-lieve that of all tbe varieties of traditiou thatrelating to hidden treasure is tbe most common.

"In many Mexican towns," continued tbeLieutenant, "I have found the traditions sup-plemented by documents. These papers arecalled itineraries. They purport to describe andlocate the places where fortunes have been bur-ied. Many a long and weary search has beenmade on the strength of these itinerarios, andwith varying success."

"Do yon recall any particular search?" wasasked.

"Yes." said Lieutenant Flipper, "a Mr. Salazarin Cusihuiriachi, Chihuahua, is tbe happy pos-sessor of numerous documents of this kind.Some of them were sent to him from Spain bypersons who had inherited them from Mexicanrelatives. Tbe Mexicans bad died in Spain, andthe papers were among their effects. Mr. Sala-zar bad made something of a specialty of follow-

ing np these clews. I remember one instance ofwhich he told me. He sad he searched in theplace indicated by the itinerario and was re-warded by finding eleven old Spanish coins, thusestablishing tbe fact tbat there was some foun-dation for the itinerario. Tha bag or box inwhich the treasure was originally buried badrotted away entirely, so great a time badelapsed, and it is quite possible many of tbecoins bad 'crawled' away."

The Lieutenant smiled with bis listener at thetheory be had advanced; but he went on to say:"This 'crawling of buried coins is not so extra-ordinary as you may think. It happened in theSouth during the late war, as many Southernpeople who buried their treasures upon the ap-proach of the federal army can testify. Myfather buried quite a sum of gold and silver in astocking in Atlanta during 1865, and when hedug for his money, several months later, thestocking had entirely disappeared, and the coinswere scattered over a space of considerableextent, comparatively speaking. Tbey had'crawled' even in a few months. In a centuryor two they might have gone a much greaterdistance."

Replying to the inquiry if he had ever knownof any considerable hidden treasure being found,Lieutenant Flipper told this good story: "A fewyears ago a poor family living in the town ofSane, in Sonora, stumbled upon a buried fort-une beneath their own jacal or hovel, and themembers are now enjoying independence in con-

sequence. The floors of most of those jacals aremade of the same mud from which the adobesforming the walls are molded. The Quirogasthe family of whom I am telling you were hav-ing the floor of their house repaired, and hademployed a peon. He was engaged in doing somedigging to fix the foundation for the floor,when Senora Quiroga came into the roomto call him to dinner. Just as she ap-proached him she heard his pick strikesomething bard and her suspicions were aroused.She sent the peon off and called in one of hersons, who in a few moments uncovered a jar inwhich tbe coin jingled. When the Quirogas gotthrough counting the treasure tbay found thatthey bad $18,000. The news was too good tokeep. Soon the whole village knew and envied.Among the first to come with congratulationswas the priest, and be suggested that a goodpercentage go to the church. To this the Quir-ogas torned a deaf ear. Then the priest threat-ened them with imprisonment in this world anddamnation in the next. The Quirogas fled thecountry, taking with them all of the monr.They now live in Nogaies, Ariz., and are r oadAmerican citizens. The sons are doing well asmerchants, tbe discovered treasure having sup-plied the capital to start them."

DEMOCRATIC SOLDIERS.

lamor tbat an Attempt Will Da Made toSplit the Grand Army,

jtashlngton Special to Chic ago Tribune.The latest talk growing out of the battle-fla-g

ipisode Is that ma attempt will be made to splitthe Grand Army of the Republic and start aloldiers' organization whose membership shallbo entirely Democratic. The talk is beardamong tha office-holdin- g class whose bread findbatter depends on President Cleveland's

These men for tba last two or three dayshave been going about vociferating that tbaPresident's blunder will cot hurt him any with,the country at large, and that tha cen sure of thaGrand Army men Is not to be feared. At thasame time they are bitter toward tba Democratswho are in tbat organization, and call on themto come out of it or be read out ot the party.They say tbat who are Dem-

ocrats owa it to themselves to form asociety of their own to uphold tha President asagainst tba Grand Army of tha Republic, which,tbey say. notwithstanding tba assertions to thacontrary, is a political machine. It is undenia-ble that a majority of the members of the GrandArmy are Republicans, because a majority oftha soldiers were of that faith. But in somaStates, notably Indiana and New Jersey, thamembership is said to be about equally dividedpolitically. About the only soldiers of nationalreputation connected with the administrationare Postmaster-genera- l Vilas, Register Rose-cran- s,

and Pension Commissioner Black, but itis urged that these could form tha nucleusof a society which could at least drawto it tba few ex soldiers who have gotoffice under Cleveland. It is noticeable, bow-ave- r,

that the people who are so fierce for some-thing of this kind to be dona were non-com- -

batants. The porsonality of the President doesnot form tba groundwork for a political move-ment of ex-soldie- Those of his own partywho have approved bis vetoes on general prin-ciples have always in private shown a resentfulfeeling because of the patronizing tone thaPresident used in speaking of them. His plati-tudes about patriotism did not strike deep. Inthe present emergency his attitude has not beena whit better. The commotion the battle-fla- g

order caused was beheld by Mr, Cleveland witha dull surprise. He does not yet understand it,and from all accounts doggedly holds that werenot the authority lacking be would never havebacked down. Tha strongest feeling shown byhim has been that of chagrin that not even thehabitual flatterers who surround him could findanything to praise.

A BAD PRECEDENT.

Contributions for Presents Levied on Govern-ment Clerks at Washington.

Washington Special.er Jordan has been presented with

a costly silver punch bowl and ladle by the em-

ployes of the Treasurer's office. This gift, ac-

cording to speeches made on the occasion, is al-

leged to be a substantial expression of the es-

teem Mr. Jordan's late subordinates hold him in.A similar present was made toManning by all the employes of the TreasuryDepartment on the occasion of that gentleman'sretirement, and but a week or two ago theDeputy Register of the Treasury, who resignedto accept an office under the Districtgovernment, was the recipient of a silverservice. If any more high officials of the Treas-ury Department resign the precedent estab-lished in these three cases will have to be fol-lowed, and the poor government clerks, mes-sengers, and charwomen there are living in ap-prehension of another assessment on their wagesat the instigation of some one in authority, whotesires to curry favor or be generous at otherpeople's expense. There is nrobably not half adozen of those who contribute to make thesepresents who do so with free will, or who canafford to spare the money; yet, under the coer-cion exercised by the .circulation of a paper forsignatures in getting up a testimonial, nonedare refuse for fear of injuring their standingwith those who have the power to interfere withIheir employment.

An act passed by Congress in 1870 makes it atausa for dismissal for any employe in the gov-ernment service to levy contributions or givemoney for the purchase of a present for an of-ficial while he is in office, and while, in the casesEast mentioned, the gifts were not delivered

they were intended for' had resigned,there is clearly a violation of the spirit of thelaw in collecting money for such a purpose. Thetrticles presented bad to be designed and orderedin advance, and the amounts in payment there-fore when completed were no doubt subscribedbefore the resignations took effect. The customInaugurated wider the administration is a badene, in any evont, and a resolution of inquiryinto the subject will probably be introducedThen Congress meets in order to put a stopJo ic

AN ANXIOUS STATESMAN.

llr. Uolman Is Unable to Estimate tbe Effectof the Labor Vote.

Ipeclal to the Indianapolis Journal.Washington, June 20. Representative Hol-ma- n

(says tbat the people of Indiana are nottroubling about polities this year, but are work-ing hard to make good crops. The honorablegentleman "views with alarm"' the strength ofthe Labor, party, but he whistles, to keep hisnourage up, in this language: ''The labornovement is the great political problem of thefuture; nobody can foretell what influence it willhave next year. While there are differencesind dissensions among tbe labor organizations,ihey will all, probably, unite next year upon anational ticket, and then it will remain to beseen whether they hurt the Democrats or Re--

fublieana most. If tbey draw heaviest fromso much the better for us, but

ihey may cut deep into our vote. It is a move-ment that renders me uneasy. I think, myself,that tbe Democratic party is in good shape, andthe administration is strong with the people, tis

honest and sincere in guarding the, people's interests, etc. But this labor movement

nay upset all sorts of calculations."

MINOR MATTERS.

Commodore Harmony Explains tha Meaningof Secretary Whltuey'a Order.

Washington,' June 20. Commodore Harmo-ny was interviewed by a Post reporter, yester-Ja- y,

respecting Secretary Whitney's letter onthe subject of dismissals of navy-yar- d employes."It does not mean," said the Commodore, "thatany rude disturbance of present conditions, orany wholesale turning out of present employesis contemplated. It means that length of serv-ice does not at all mean efficiency. It meansthat, in the progress of reform, heads must fall,and that nobody need be surprised if they areold heads. There are men whose length of serv-ice produces only blue mold and obstinacy, and apresumntioo of superiority to orders and dis-Siplin- e.
