ThiJ socialists in Sweden are stronger
than, ever before. The reason for this
is without doubt to be found in the
widespread dissatisfaction which has
grown with alarming rapidity during
, mien years among me laboring
classes of the country. Sweden which
heretofore has sulle'red almost perfect
uiiuumiy irom socialistic troubles, lind;
tuult suddenly confronted with a full-

disturbing source. The socialistic agita

have been hampered in ti e work of in
augurating higher rates by the presence
here of a large number of non-board
companies, who, it was known, would
at once begin cutting ratos if an advance
was maue.
Unsuccessful ell'orts have been made
by the board companies to get the non
board companies into the arrangement
of the western union fire insurance or
ganization to raise rates, as they have
been raised in other cities. This, in the
opinion of insurance men, would pre
cipitate a rate war between union and
non-union companies.
Fully 75 per cent, of the large fire
companies in the country are members
of the Western Union, and especially
those companies represented in the
various boards of fire underwriters.
Agents representing non-board com
panies here were willing to make an
arrangement, but the mutual companies
held out and defeated the plan.
Insurance men in the board claim that
the onlv way out of this difficulty in to
adopt the plan successfully employed in
Kansas City not long ago and freeze out
the small mutual companies and non-
board agencies by a cut of 50 per cent, in
ratos.

Charles lladdon SDiiri'eon was born
at Kelvedon. Essex FiuLiml .fnn m
1834. His father, John, and grand
father, James, had been pastors of Inde
pendent churches. With the latter
Charles spent his childhood, already
evincing a serious disposition, and being
pointed out as likely to be a successful
minister. Returning to his father's
house at Colchester, he attended school
there, and when only 10 became an
usher at Newmarket. In 1850 he became
a Baptist, and soon began to preach
with such force that in 1852 he was
made pastor of a church at Waterbeach.
In the next year he was called to supply
New Park Street chapel, London, and in
a few months a sermon of his was
printed, tbus inaugurating a practice
which has resulted in the circulation of
millions of copies of his discourses.
The chapel, proving too small for the in
creased congregation, was enlarged, and
in lotu tne Metropolitan tabernacle was
opened, having seats for -5,500 per
sons. Though its cost exceeded
$150,000, it was free of debt. In
connection with the church there are
numerous missionary, educational and
philanthropic agencies. The Pastors'
college, intended to fit young men for
ministerial work, began in 1855 and has
a special building, which was erected in
1874. The Stockwell Orphanage sprang
Irom a gift of 20,000 made by a lady to
Spurgeon for this work. At first, hnva
only were admitted, but since 1871) girls
are also received. There are now about
240 boys and 230 girls suoported, the
most needy having the nreference. The

charged with betraval oi Gertrude
Goulten, a 17-year-old girl who was
lound with him. She was also taken to
the station and will be held as a wit

and to have a wealthy father in
the State of Washington. She was liv

Harris, in Portland, but left that city
with Smith two weeks ago under the
promise oi marriage. On arriving in
San Francisco, Smith started in the
real estate business.
The girl's mother iu Portland was
much worried and consulted the chief
ot police who advised her to follow her
daughter to California and see chief
Crowley of this city. This Mrs. Harris
did with the result already stated.

ing on the general management of the
conioanv's allairs. A wordv war finally
f culminated in a great row in the annual
'stockholders' meeting today.
I Each faction held a preliminary meet
ling and decided on a temporary organi
zation before thuy mot in the company's
offices on Euclid avenue. When they
had gathered in the offices each refused
to recognize the authority o( the other
and each attempted to secure order and
transact business, shouting, yelling and
bitterly denouncing each other.
The disorder became so great that the
son of Manager Farmer, in fear of a re
sort to blows, rushed to tho street and
turned in a call for a patrol wagon.
Police Sergeant Regan and Ollicer Sum
merson appeared on the scene and re
mained until seiui-trauquility was re
stored. Each faction finally took a
room, elected the five directors to be
chosen and a dual organization is the
result.
The Farmer faction has the books and
its set of directors was sworn in. Each
side made speeches before the meeting
broke up, Farmer claiming that he had
been misrepresented and that the mine
would soon begin to pay dividends, and
Wilson declaring that the stockholders
he represented had been defrauded and
demanding an inspection of the books
and business of the company. Long
litigation is likely to follow.

Washington, D. C, Feb. 4 The
Senate confirmed the following nomina
tions: James S. Beatty, United States
district judge for Idaho; D. P. Roberts,
Indiana, recorder general land office;
S. l lowlett, register land office at North
Yakima, Wash.
The confirmation of the nomination of
Somes II . Heattie to be district judge of
Idaho marks the termination, in favor
of the administration, of the Btruggle
lasting nearly a year, with the Idaho
Senators. Beattie was nominated
February 10th last in spite
of the protests of Senators
Shoup and McConnoll, who sought to
convince the President that the nomina
tion would noi be acceptable to the peo
ple of Idaho. The opposition was able
to prevent action upon the nomination
during the few weeks that remained
of the last session of the Fifty
first Congress. Three davs after the
adjournment of Congress, however, the
President appointed Beattie to the
judgeship and his nomination was one
of the first Jbefore the Senate at the be
ginning of the present Congress.
Again the Idaho Senate .i..i
their opposition to the nomination, but
for nearly a year Judge Beatty had
been discharging the functions of his
office in Idaho and California.
His decision has been sus
tained wherever appeal had been
taken to the superior tribunal and it was
not possible to pick any flaws in his
judicial career. These facts naturally had
the eflect of a favorable termination and
the senators soon found several of their
Republican colleagues who had been in
sympathy with I hem last year had
changed their minds and determined to
Biipport the President. A week ago Shoup
and DuBo -o r-!'-.-! jr..., they were

Pinkvillk, Ky.. Feb. 4. -The Turner

nave nad another clash, and this time
one of the Turner gang was killed. The
man killed was George Sharp, at whose
house Turner and his gang have been
making headquarters. The encounter
occurred Sunday night, but no news was
received here until yesterday. Silas
larton, a cousin to Manuel Parton, who
was killed, and who was with him at the
time, brought the news here.
The Partons, who had kept a close
watch on Turner, thought they saw an
opportunity to catch the outlaw when
his men were away from the house, so
tour of the Parton crowd made a sudden
swoop on the rendezvous. They caught
l arton and Sharp alone in the cabin, as
they had anticipated, and made them
prisoners. Turner, however, made an
outcry, which brought to his rescue a
