The miners of that place being prevented from going to work, were forced to hold a meeting to determine whether they would cease, to work at the price of 2i cents. The result of the meeting was sixty-nine in favor of work and iifty in favor of going out Work was enspended to-day because the outside miners will not permit the Winifred men to work. Sheriff EvarU, who has just returned from the mines, states that the proprietors will reduce the price to 2i cents. Trouble is anticipated at this point TBACHEOTOJaY.

God preserve me from such criminal giddiness. I repudiate all such accusations with horror. I am a soldier. All the Brandenburgers are soldiers. I conclude with the words uttered by Prince Bismarck in the Reichstag, which showed the grand spectacle of popular representation going locked hand m hand with the Government I adapt to Brandenburg the sentence: 'We Brandenburgers, only fear God, and nothing else in this world.-". Tragmdyln Minnesota. The Utile town of New Prague. Minn., on the Minneapolis and St Louis road, about forty miles south of Minneapolis, is In a fever of excitement ever the most horrible tragedy in the history of that part of the Stats. Fanner John Janauschak, a mile south of that town is dead by his own hand and his .wife lies by his side, murdered by her own husband. Their daugh ter, a girl of ton years, lies at the point of death with a bullet in her head from her father's pistol. The shooting occurred at 7 o'clock Thursday night, and the news was carried to New Prague by a crippled step-son of the murderer. Janauschek married a widow, the murdered woman, about twelve years ago. but they never lived happily together, the principal bone of contention being some property belonging to the wife, of which the husband desired to become possessed. On 6a before he bad threatened to kill her, and had purchased a revolver for .that purpose. Beeently she filed preliminary papers in s suit for divorce. While her son, by a former marriage, was in Le Sueur attending to.the matter, Janauschek went to Jordon, bought a revolver, and returning to bis home,, commenced the work of slaughter, with the above results.

THE 0LOJV0RLO. The announcement tt u i-rineo Bismarck would speak on the military hill attracted an euormoua crowd to the vicinity of the Reichstag, says a Berlin dispatch of tbo 7tU hist Long before the day's business began the galleries were filled to overflowing. Prince Bismarck was enthusiastieally greeted on his way to the Beichstag palace by dense crowds, which lined the route. When he entered the Beiehstag he was received with deafening; cheers. The House proceeded with the first reading of the military loon bill, and Prince Bismarck arose to address the House, He said: I do not believe lean add anvfhlna to the true state of the ease regarding the bill. I do not address you on that account. My object is the seneral situation of Eumua. I mar eonfine myself to referring to what I laid on the same subject over a year ago. There has been very little change since then, when I feared war with France. Sinee then France has elected a peace-loving President, and a Baeiflc disposition has prevailed. I can, therefore, reassure the public that so far as France is concerned the prospect has become more peaceful. Regarding Bnssia also I am of no other opinion than when X said that we save to apprehend no attack from Hassle The situation mast not be judged from press comments. The Hussian newspapers I do not believe. I believe the Czar's word absolutely. The situation on the whole is not different from that of line. 1 grant that the concentration of Bnssian troops on the frontier may appear serious, bat I perceive no cause or pretext for a Kusttan or Karoyeaa War. Bnssia awnomtereittoevaiiaer rrusnaaor At

trian provinces. Indeed, I go so far Is jtiV confidence as to say that evea a war with jRanee would not necessitate a war with Bussta, although the latter eventually would involve the farmer. It is true that I cannot demand an explanation from the Russian Foreign Office regarding the concentration of troops on the frontier, but having twon welt acquainted with Russia's foreign policy for a generation I may have my own opinion of the matter. I believe the Russian Cabinet tntenda to nmko Russia's voice heard at the next European oriels, and, therefore, wishes to push her military forces aa far westward as possible. Irinoi Bismarck then reviewed the relations of Prussia with Iluagia linco 1848. Frequently, he said, they had had a menssing aspect but at all times the calmness and conscientiousness displayed by the ministers on the Prussian side toward tuo threatening position of Buastan affairs a pusitionof which foreign countries had no idea had succeeded in averting mischief. He continued; Austria is our natural ally in tbe dangers which threaten ua from Russia and France ; bat there la no need to fear the hatred of Russia. Ko wars are waged from mere hatred, tor otherwise Trance would have to be at war with Italy and the whole world. The strength w possess will reaaaure our public opinion and allay the nervousness of the bourse and the press. Our task now is to strengthen this strength. It mutt not be said that others can place the same defensive frontier tome aa we are abi to do. If vra are attacked, then the furor TTOimey will

Prince Bismarck reiterated the confidence that Germany felt in her army, and declared that Germany feared "only the God which makes us wish to foster peace, " The situation as to war or peace is rather forcibly stated by a Knesian military writer. The substance of it is that while Bussia is profoundly eolicitona for peace, she is none the leas determined to increase her defenaive power and the number of troops on the frontier, and to expand her railway system so as to be prepared for any contingency. This, being translated, means that the big powers are piling up huge armaments that one of these days will go off and hnrt somobody. PERSON AL NOTES.

Be says that he accepts the nomination absolutely without pledges, and that if he is elected his administration will be a nonpartisan one; he will remove no man from office because he i a Democrat, and will appoint no man solely because he is a Republican, He will continue in oilioe such men aa have under the administration proven themaelvea competent and honest, He deprecates the color line In polities, and advises the negroes in the parishes that advantageous compromises with the white people should be made wherever possible, even though it necessitates their voting the Democratic ticket.

FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL The Metropolitan National Bank of Cin cinnati has suspended and tha Tios President, J. B, Be Camp, is under arrest A riot at Shenandoah, Pa., growing out of the coal troubles, was participated in by about two thousand persons. Pistols were used freely, but it oould not be learned that any one was killed. Beports from Wilkssbarre seemed to indicate that a strike would follow in the Wyoming and Lackawanna Valleys which would involve sixty thousand miners. A fight occurred between the non-union men employed in tho Solar Iron Works, at Pittsburg, and the strikers. The non-union men, who are negroes, were taunted and in suited by tbe strikers as they were leaving work under an escort of officers. Becoming angered, the negroes drew their revolvers and fired into the crowd, wounding several persons, one fatally.

They claim to own patents on a new process of re fining, and can place the product on tho mar ket at a cheaper rate. .The capital stock of the new company ia S10, 000,000. FIRES ANDMCWENTS. A fire at yt. Louis destroyed property to the value of 100,000, owned by Hugh Hildreth A Co., and Hersog A Brother. The British iron bark Abercorn, bound from Maryport, England, to Portland, Ore., was wrecked on the Washington Territory coast, and of the crew of twenty-three all but three perished. An explosion at the dynamite works at Woodsido, Mich., destroyed two packinghouses and killed three men, Joseph TJraond, Adam Usela, and John Oleson, ail single. They were literally blown to atoms. A Kansas City special says that a a train on the Kansas City Cablo Railway was going np the incline from tho Union Depot, the grip broke. The men in charge applied the brakes as soon and as vigorously as possible, but they failed to work, and the train, with its cargo of human freight, dashed madly down the incline, where it collided with a stationary train which had just been filled with passengers. No one was killed outright, but throe persons are believed to have been fatdly injured by the accident. THE CRIMINAL RECORD. Aa express train on the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio Railroad was thrown from the track by a broken frog while passing Steamburg,' N. Y. The engine and first two ears paaaed over safely, but tbo third coach left the rails and dashed into tbe caboose of ft freight train lying on a Ids-track, The following i the list of persons killed or

Two or three other passengers reosired slight bruises, but continued their journey. Amos J. Soctl, the West Side millionaire, says a Chicago special of Thursday, was shot dead early Wednesday morning by burglars in his residence at tho northwest corner of Washington-boulevard aad Ada street. - The murder .wasmrnit ted, shortly after 'i o'clock

! hyshe corning,- batjsas pot discovered until noairy , wuen ma aoaenman enierou rue house from his quarters over the stable, and stumbled over his master's dead body. The only clow to the murderers is a box of burglar's tools which they loft behind thorn. About an honr boforo the murder occurred, Sergeant Hartnett arrested two suspicions characters .who wore hanging about the premises. These are believed to be the outside confederates of the burglars who robbed tho safe in the office iu the basement floor and murdered its owner. Their booty is valueless to them, as it consists of some 11,000 worth of county warrants and 5,000 in checks so indorsed that it has been possible to stop payment on them. No money, jewelry or plate was taken. The murder is the most sensational ever committed by burglars in Chicago. Tho murdered man was active, powerful and fearless. For years it had been his custom to seize a revolver, always kept within reach of his bed, and search the house alone in the dark whenever suspicious noises awakened him. So addicted was he to this habit that it was a standing family prophecy that hs would meet the foio that finally overtook him. Appreciating his strength, agility and fearlessness as they do, his friends say that had tho aim of the burglars been loss deadly one or both of them would probably have been captured or killed outright by the man they were endeavoring to rob. The only occupants of the Snell residence besides its owner that night wore two female servants and two young grandchildren, Snell was one of the solidly wealthy men of Chicago, Besides being the largest landholder in the county, he owned nearly 400 fine houses in the city, all of them located oa tho West Side. His estate is estimated at above 13,000,001 MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. The Standard Oil Company is contemplating the construction of a pipe-line from Lima, Ohio, to Chicago, to supply the city with fuel o:L Another sensational feature has been added to the Metropolitan Bank suspension, says a Cincinnati sr ecial. It is tbs arrest of the Hon. William Means, the President of the bank. With the Fidelity cases fresh in mind, and with the proof they gave of the relentless power -of ib Government, . where there had been a plain transgression of the law, this arrest causes a decided sensation. Mr. Means has had a leading position among bust. no men for a number of years; has been reputed quite wealthy, and served a term as Mayor, There is a fairly well authenticated statement that the examination of the bank's books and papers shows a gross violation of the banking law in loans to officers and others connected with the hank very largely in excess of the limit allowed by the law to any one. - The police f SL Joseph, Ma, according to a dispatch from that city, have been called upon to deal with a most wonderful case: A girl who looked not old er than IS years of age was taken up at the Union Depot. She stated to tbe Chief that she had been deserted by her husband, mtd that she bad come to St, Josoph to look for him. The police were at first aiamounea 10 uoneve roe gin s siorv, on account of hor extreme youth, but it was after. ward learned that she was telling the truth about her lost husband, and that she had been twice married, and was tne mother of two children, now deceased, although she is not yet ia years uiu. aouu two yean ago sue was mar- :... 1 -n... if i ...... i ... x, , .

Her father seemed to regard ner aa a ourden, aud she was compelled to marry John Stevenson, a young man of the neighborhood, 23 years of age. The Secretary of War has forwarded to the Senate,' iu reply to an inquiry, a report upon the number and organization of the militia throughout the United States .and Territories.

'lh wounds in tbe head and heart were produced witha38-ealiber revolver, and the shots were evidently fired at ahcrt runge unit while tbe dourt man was facing south, thus cxpotiug the loft skle to the murderer or uiurderes who were ranstcking bis iwlora. BrilGXABS BKlOME M l!l"KliEllS. Tla crime is one of the most desperate and flpn&itional which have been recorded for rears iu Chicago orimiual annals. It was tbo direct outgnwtli of au attempt a successful one -to loot toe residence of a wealthy citizen, who, in his vlbardy bravery, ran unconsciously into th'Ei'y arms and rovolvors of his deapcrate vif HI i. Contrary to the usual sensational and rmi rious mHrder, there Is but one theory connected with the crime, and that Is that in robbin;: the house the thieves were surprised by Mr. fin U and to escape committed mur.ler Who they aro lor it it generally believed that at least two were concerned in tho crinio iB not known, nod thus far there is not even the slightest clew to their identity. Tha perpetrator of the orinio are the only liv ng witneas of tho tragedy, and thus naeessarilv tbe work of the police will be alow and in all probability futile, despite the fact that two man are now kicked up in tbe Lake street police eta-t-on tuapocted of knowing something of the murder. Thtre were but five persi ua. bes'des tho thieves, in the mansion whru tbo crime was committed-Mr. Pnell. Miss Hose Morko'aUer. the cook, and Ida Rjorostadt, a Swedish witit-ing-rasid.

A Wise Woman Knows When to Bo Silent. Mrs. H. W. Beeoher in Pittsburg Dbipatch: No matter how much -a woman may crave gentle attentions and loving notice, if wise she will teach herself to understand the great power she may earn by silence not grim, unamuibre silence, but that which gently, unosentatiously tends to peace. Its patient continuance will often enlighten tho eyes which have been unconsciously holden to the unintentional neglect which has, perhaps, left shadows ou the home life, and once recognized they will love and honor the wife all the more for the quiet lesson she has taught by her silence. There are times in men's lives far more than in women's when any reply to hasty or careless remarks or complaints, however just, of inattention or supposed neglect would be most untimely, and, perhaps, cause serious trouble. A women in comfortable health naturally rises in tbe morning in a cheerful, happy frame of mind, inclined to sprightly conversation, and, were her husband able to he equally so, could in those few moments of morning converse and greeting diink in enough nectar to make her eyes bright and her step elastio all day long. But a life of business or pnblic duties is seldom conducive 10 a good night's rest or a cheerful, happy waking. It often happens that the short time devoted to waking and dressing are the very moments when a wise woman will hold her peace, content to know that kindly attention and pleasant words have more 'power aud are better appreciated after a hot steak or chop and a good cup of coffee than before.
