KEGRO MINERS
Their Employment Leads to
Serious Results.
THK WHITE MINERS STRIKE.
The Force Triad to Induce All to Strike,
But Without Suecaai -Firing ou t
1'lniog Train.
Skatti.e, May 19. A special to
the Pou-Intelligencer from the
Franklin mines says that every,
thing is quiet there, although the
dead line guarded by Pinkerton'i
is maintained. The white miners
are showing signs of yielding.
Several families left town to-day,
selling their shanties, which were
built on the company's property,
to the company, which puts the
negroes in possession at once. An
increased force of negroes was put
to work this morning and more
will be put in to-morrow. A party
of white miners went to the bouse
of J. S. Fry, the white engineer of
the engine, who refused to quit
woik, and assailed his wife ver
bally, so that she had to take
refuga with her husband in the
engine house. At Eewcastle, the
other camp of the Oregon Im
provement Co., the feeling runs
very liigh, because a few men
have stayed at work at the pumps
and engines. Between 20 and 30
shots were fired at a special train
at ; :.'!() last night while it was
making the run from Cool Creek
to Newcastle, a distaace of two
miles. Sheriff Woolery and Dep
uty McDonald were on the engine
and several bullets whistled past
their faces, but no one was hit.
UV.NAMITE EXPLOSION.
A Tralu Demolished anil Elguta
Men Killed.
Takrytown, May !!. Just be
fore noon to-day a work train on
tiie Hudson River road was blown
to atoms near here, by an explo
sion of dynamite being transport
ed for use in the track construction.
There were probably thirty-four
men upon the train, eighteen of
whom were tilled and the re
mainder seriously, and some
fatally wounded. Many of the
dead were blown into the river
and five bodies still remain there.
The train was torn in pieces, the
track ripped from the road bed
and a great hole torn in the eerth.
There were twenty-four cases of
lynamite in the first car on the
train, each containing fifty pounds.
A spark lrom ttie engine, it is said,
set tire to a greasy rope coiled in
front of the packages and the ex
plosion followed. Its force was
territlic, walls of houses in Tarry
town being shaken and some
cracked, and window glass fell in
showers to the sidewalks. Scores
of clocks were stopped. As rapid
ly as possible the wounded were
cared for by surgeons and removed
to hospitals. Ten of those killed
were picked up along the track,
while live were taken from the
river. Three of the injured died
shortly after being picked up. It
is believed there are stifl some
bodies in the river, and the total
number of killed will be twenty or
more.

gone to sea, a long cipher dispatch

ils were much surprised to re

waa no cipher code aboard the

home from the Adriatic station,
and Admiral Belknap, comman

Cromwell, commander of the ship,
will probably be called upon to ex
plain why the Omaha was at sea
without a copy of the code w hich
is one of the essential features of
the ship's outfit.
Tke Cse of Tears.
Newcastle Chronicle.
The use of tears is not generally
appreciated, even by those who
tied them most freely. It is as
sumed that tears " are shed
occasionally asau expression of
grief, though tears ol joy are not
wholly unknown. This; libWever,
is a mistake, for the discharge of
tears continuous, and the flow
of moisture from the lachrymal
glands serves a very beautiful pro
vision of nature. An immense
quantity of tine dust is always
floating' in the air, and though
this is impalpable to the vision, it
would soon obscure the sight if
allowed to remain in the eyes.
The continuous flow of moisture
from the lachrymal glands is suffi
cient to keep ttie eyeballs clear
from this accumulation of dust,
but when any grit, insect or smoke
eets into the eyes it so effects the
nerves as to cause an extra How ol
tears to clear it away. Tears are
thus involuntary, and may be
caused by any pungent vapor,
such as arise from acids or the
odor of onions. The chief ele
ment in the composition of a tear
is water, but with water is associ
ated minute proportions of salt,
soda, phosphate of lime, phos
phate of f-oda and mucus; and
when seen under the microscope a
tear after evaporation looks
like a very small tish bone, ow ing
to the salines forming themselves
into lengthened cross) ines.
MARTIAL LAW.
ARMED SOLDIERS PATROL. THE
STREETS IN PORT Aul'ICINCE
The Deposed President of Haytl
Said to be Responsible fur the
State r A (Tali s.
New York, May 1U. Martial
law has been procb imed in Port
AuPrince. Armed soldiers patrol
the streets niuht and day, and no
one is allowed to enter or leave
the city without a passport. The
Haytiau capitol is .iterally in a
state of Beige, and the cause of this
condition of affairs is the agitation
caused by the supporters of Gener
al I.eirets, the deposed president.
This news is contained in letters
received by merchants engaged in
the Ilaytian trade in New York.
It is also announced that the min
ister of finance and foreign affairs
in President Iiippolyte's cabinet
has resigned, though no explana
tion is given. The report that an
attempt had been made on the
life of President llippolyte is ab
solutely denied. The exact date
on which martial law was pro
claimed in the Ilaytian capital is
not given, ror months, thougu,
it was said the supporters ot legi
time have been actively engaged
in stirring up a feeling against the
piesent administration. The de
posed president, who is now 80
jcurning in Jami ica, it is said,
has been regularly posted in the
work of his secret emissaries.
President Hipolyte, however,
has not been napping, and he is
now determined to nip the threat
ened uprising in the bud, and at
the same time if possible, to bting
the guilty ones justice.
Tornado s. Cj clone.
New Orleans, May 18. A great
lightweight glove fight between
Andy Bowen, the "Ixmisiana Tor
nadc," and Billy Meyer the
"Streator Cyclone" occutrvd to
night in the fatuous Olympic club.
Nearly 3000 people witnessed the
fight. Betting was 100 on Meyer
to $80 on Bowen. Bowen won the
light in the twenty-third round on
a foul.
An Aged Hero.
Charles Brown, whose heroism
in rescuing Mrs. Geisel and her
children from the Indians during
the Indian wars in Southern Ore
gon, was called to public notice
recently by a correspondent of the
Oregonian, is now a resident of
Crescent City, Cal. He writes to
correct a statement made by the
correspondent that he was a
Russian Jew. He is a native of
Russia and came to America at
the age of 18, but is a Christian.
He is now 07 years old and unable
to make a living by niamial labor.
He is a Mexican veteran, but has
not yet received any aid ftoni the
government. This brave man
certainly deserves consideration
from his adopted country.
Stnug to Death by I.ocesle.
Algiers, May 19. The French

rible death while examining the
deposits of the locusts eggs at the
village of Sideral. He waa over

fell asleep on the ground, and was

Iguatiui Deunellj a Leaditf ldsoiLer of

Cincinnati, May P.I. The Na
tional Union Conference begins its
session to-day. The formality of
I lie election waa dispensed with,
and C. F. Cunningham of Arkansas
was introduced an temporary
chairman. He made an appeal
for harmony.
The committee on resolutions
were appointed with instructions
to go into session at once, and pre
pare a platform. Among the num
bers are: California, II. E. Dillon;
Iowa, J. B. Weaver; Minnesoto,
Ignat ins Donnelly ; Wyoming, H.
K. Shears. The c invention ad
journed until t-rmoriow.
Cixcinnatti, May. The com
mittee on resolutions met this
evening and organized by making
Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota,
chairman. Members who emerged
at intervals from the committee
room predicted the committee
would work harmoniously and
said the St Louis platform would
be taken as the basis upon which
to proceed. The "third party on
the spot" enthusiasts to-night
blossomed out with many pieces of
blue ribbon about an inch square
on their badges. One of them
said when asked its meaning.
"The child is olrcady bout and
Ae mean to put clntlu-s on it right
away," intimating llmt the growth
of the new paity spirit had been
such luat those w lio had been con
cealing their real sentiments from
prudential motives are inclined
to throw off their mask and urge
immediate action in the matter.
The committee on permanent or
ganization to-night selected Sena
tor Petfer for permanent chairman.
Hugh Kavanaugh, of Cincinnati,
J. A. Brooks, president of the
national farmers' alliance, and
Gideon and Delameter, of Color
ado, an old-time greenbacker, were
made vice-chairmen.
A largely attnded mass meet
ing was held to-nig! it. The orator
of the evening was Senator Pfetfer
of Kansas. He began by saving
these people before liim were har
bingers of a revolution that will
dethrone money and re-establish
the authority of the people. It is
a movement not to destroy but to
cr. tte, not to tear down but to
bui.d up ; not to destroy the wealth
of the rich but to restore to labor
its just reward. Referring to a
placard on the balcony of the hall,
"Nine million mortgaged homes,"
Pfetfer said it told volumes.
"What shall we do with money
power? We'll raise up a power
among the people, make our own
money and use it. (Tremendous
applause.) Take their railroads?
No, we'll build our own (more ap
plause). We'll light with ballots
and prayer, for the alliance is in a
great measure taking the place
of churches. Pfetfer closed by
giving the new party a great boom
in these words : "Does this mean
a new party?" (Cries of yes.)
"What else are we here for? The
prophecy of the hour is that a new
party is to be born here, and its
name is to be the national party.
(Great applause.)
General Master Workman Pow
derly addressed the meeting.
Among other things he said : "The
Knights of Labor will vote the
principles of their organization
and whea you form a party em
bodying such principles as has
been announced here to-night,
you will find every knight of labor
standing at the polls and doing his
full duty." The meeting dispersed
cheering again and again for Pow
deily and the knights of labor.
A Bogus Land Detectlwe.
Spokane Falls, May 19. A
bogus special agent of the general
land office has been operating
through Eastern Washington for
the past week with good sucess.
He goes by the names of Pendle
ton, Pemberton, Zemberton and
Temberton. He threatens saw
mill men with prosecution for buy
ing timber from settlers who have
not yet proved up on their claims
and has bulldozed so far as heard
from, five or six men out of sums
ranging from $200 to $500. When
last heard from he was in the
Okanogan district. Advices from
Washington say he has no con
nection with the general land
office. He has operated around
Walla Walla and through the Big
Bend country.
Pressed Into the Service.
Tacoma, May 10. Dan Galla
gher, who claims to be the son of
ex-councilman of Portland, and
tells a story of his experience w ith
boarding house keepers. Galla
gher says, last summer, while at
Astoria, he took a drink in Grants
boarding house and in a short time
became unconscious. When he
recovered he says Larry Sullivan,
and another boarding house keep
er, were carrying hini aboard a
ship, he resisted and was terribly
beaten. They took him aboard the
ship Charles S. Bement bound for
Europe. W hue on the Columbia
river bar he jumped overboard.
some one immediately began
shootinx at him. hitting him on
the thigh, he was finally picked up
and fed on bread and water for
eight days. The ship reached
Dublin, Ireland, and when the
crew were being paid on Gallagher
refused to ttke money. The cap
tain tried to pursuade him to sign
articles, offering him good wages
during the entire trip. this be
refused and referred the matter to
the U. S. consul, who took testi
mony and forward it to U. S. court
at Portland. The Bement is due
in Portland in a few weeks.

S eaking of the drowning of a
beautiful young lady on Sunday
evening, by being thrown from a
row boat in w hich she and a young
gentleman weie boatriding near
b wan, island, below roruandbv
swells made by a passing steamer,
the Oregonian says the treacherous
Willamette still holds the fair
form of Elizabeth Whitefield, the
young lady wno was accidentlly
drowned on Sunday night. The
iver waa dragged for the body
nearly all day yesterday but all
efforts proved unsuccessful. I Iugh
Brady, the expert body-finder, is
sick in the hospital. He could
recover the remains quicker than
anyone else in the city, but as he
is to sick to get up, the next best
thing was to get his gappling tools.
These were used, but in vain, The
channel of the river is about fifty
feet deep where the drowning
occurred, and as the current is
quite strong the body may be
carried some distance' before it is
recovered.

COAL OR NO COAL
THAT IS THE QUESTION THE
ESMERALDA IS COGITATING
The Chilian Steamer's Dander la
Said to Isie Risen She May
Take the Coal by Force.
New York, May 19. A special
to the Mail and Express from
Acapulco says: it seems now
ceitain that the Esmerelda must
have to recourse to some desperate
means to secure coal. It is an
nounced to-day that the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company ordered
its agents here not to sell the Es
meralda coal under any circum
stances. This order was commu
nicated to the Esmeralda and it is
now thought to be extremely
probable that the Chilian boat
will take coal by foice, as there
is absolutely nothing to prevent
him from having his vessel' along
side the coal bunks and taking
what he wants, for the forts are
worthless and the Esmeralda
could, if molested, lay Acapulco
in mine in half an hour. There
is intense excitement."
THE BITTER MARKET.
Probability That Prices Will ate
Higher This Tear Than Last.
Sax Francisco, May 19.
"There is not nearly as much
butter being packed this season as
last," said J. T. Rowe to-day.
"Last year butter was down to 16
and 17 cents. This year good
butter is selling at 21 cents. The
market was thoroughly cleaned up
before this season's packing com
menced, owing to the demand
from the East lor our butter. ljtt
year the Eastern market stiffened
and kept Eastern butter out of our
market, and the result was our
home product was eo'd quickly,
for we never have a surplus of
California butter here, and none
of last year's product was held
over, butter will not sell at low
prices this year, because it is
probable grass feed will be shorter
than last year."
