GREENFIELD, INDIANA, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 12, 1895. PRICE, TWO CENTS

The Walnut Ridge school house burned to the ground Tuesday, Jan. 8. Soon after school hours it was discovered on fire, but the flames had gained great headway and all efforts to save the building were fruitless, though most of the furniture was saved. The building was owned by the Society of Friends, and leased to the township. It was insured for $600, insurance on furniture $200. A defective flue was the probable cause. It is said the old toll-gate house will be put in order and used until a new school house can be erected. Carthage Record.

THE MONEY ISN'T THERE.

a pickpocket to another of his profession as he came across him sitting cn a bench in Union square. "Wus it one o' them pnrty ones what the women carries round de street in der hands?" "Yes, I swiped it up on Fift' avener when she wus lookin inter er windy." "If yer'd been in de bizniz as long as I hev, yer wouldn't er took it. "Why?"

SITUATION IS GRAVE.

Miners of the Hocking Valley in Very Bad Shape.

THE DISTRESS IS WIDESPREAD.

Appeals lor Assistance Are Coming From

Athens, llocking and Perry Counties.

Some Families Have lSeeu Reduced to

Almost the Last Kxtremity— Relief Sta

tions at Several Places. NELSONVILLE, O., Jan. 12.—A careful

investigation of the situation among the miners of the Hocking valley shows that there are some families reduced to almost the last extremity, and the situation is grave.

It is safe to say that not for a number of years have the conditions been so serious as they are now. The toilers of the valley have been in distress before, and in some localities may have fared much worse than at present, but seldom has the need for relief been so widespread. Not only in and about Nelsonville are those who depend for their daily sustenance directly upon the coal industry iu waut, but up and down the entire valley, in the three counties of Athens, Hocking and Perry appeals for aid are coming.

The average miner is made of that kind of material that he will bear liis own burdens like a warrior, and it is not until his wife and children are actually suffering that he will ask for aid. This is the reason that the public at large has been unaware of the true state of affairs.

The promptness with which the substantial business men of the community went down in their pockets and contributed to tho needs of their unfortunate neighbors is an evidence that they are now fully alive to the necessities of the occasion, notwithstanding the charge that has been made that they responded merely to save the locality from a stigma.

The distribution of clothing and provisions is being made thi-ough a joint committee of representative citizens and miners. Nelsonville is providing for her own needy, and all donations received from outside sources are being dispensed by means of relief stations at various points up and down the valley.

What Adams Says.

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 12.—President A. A. Adams of the Ohio miners, in a speech to miners at Shawnee, said a miners strike had not been settled during the past five years which was not brought about by corrupt influences. A prominent local labor leader says President John McBride will have to prove his innocence of the charges mado against him by Adams or suffer the consequences.

Some Quit Some Resume.

MASSILLON, O., Jan. 12.—The drivers and inside men of Pocock mine No. 2 were called out yesterday. Tho Dalton and Millers began operations with new drivers, and this is regarded in the Massillon district as heralding the general return of work.

CONDITIONS OF PEACE.

If This Is True Japan Might About as Well Annex China. LONDON, Jan. 12.—The Standard's

Berlin correspondent telegraphs that he hears that Japan has formulated her conditions for peace with China. Approximately the conditions are the in. dependence of Corea under Japanese suzerainty, the cessation of certain Chinese islands, the razing of the Taku forts, the deprivation of Port Arthur and Wei-Hai-Wei of their character as naval ports and their dismantling, the demolition of all forts in the way from Corea to China and admission of Japan's right to prescribe the number and type of China's men-of-war, the payment of a heavy indemnity and if possible the negotiation of a Chinese-Japanese alliance.

WELCOMED THE INVADERS.

The Chinese of Kai-I'ing Want Japanese Rule. TOKIO, Jan. 12.—Word has been re

ceived from Kai-Ping that at dawn on the 10th inst. a brigade of the second Japanese army, under the command of General Nogi, attacked the large body of Chinese in the vicinity of Kai-Ping, and routed them after four hours' hard fighting. At the conclusion of tho fighting a detachment of the Japanese forces occupied Kai-Ping.

The Chineso forces exceeded 15,000 men, with two gatliug guns and 1£ field pieces. The enemy fled toward Haishatsai, vigorously pursued by the victorious army. Any Chinese forces remaining in the vicinity of New-Chwaug are now between the two Japanese armies.

The first army was welcomed by the inhabitants, while moving its headquarters to Shenyin, with manifestations of strong desire to remain under apauese rulo.

Japs Advancing.

TIEN-TKIN, Jan. 12.—Tho Japanese are steadily advancing on Chin-Chow. The Chinese are retiring slowly to tho great wall, where it is oxpected they will make a stand. Heavy snows impede the progress of the armies. Several skirmishes have occurred and in their retreat the Chinese have left numbers of their wounded behind them.

DEFAULTER TAYLOR

Believed to Tie Held in Custody in Mem-phis--Air of Mystery About It. MEMPHIS, Jan. 12. William Walter

Taylor, the absconding South Dakota treasurer, was under arrest here Thursday and Friday, but late this evening, according to Chief of Police Davis, he was released. The letters on the prisoner's person from Pierre, Chicago and New York leave no room for doubt, says Chief Davis, that he the man wanted, but as no replies were received from telegrams sent to those cities, Taylor was turned loose.

An air of mystery hangs over the case, as Taylor was not locked up, and the fact of his arrest carefully kepr even from the policemen until after it was claimed he was given his liberty. Chief Davis was loath to speak of them, but Taylor is under surveillance and will be rearrested if wanted. The opinion prevails that Taylor is still in custody and will be produced when wanted.

Chief Davis early this morning said that the prisoner he had under arrest reported to be the South Dakota defaulter was a negro by the name of Taylor. There are suspicious circumstances connected with the case, as, for instance, the rumor that the Pierre authorities were wired by the authorities here and the extreme reticence of the officers to discuss the matter.

REV. PENROD'S ENGAGEMENTS

Rev. Penrod is not a Campbellite preacher, as at first reported, but a New Light.

FORT SCOTT, Kan., Jau. 12.—Daniel K. Swearington, editor of the Burlington Courier, was found guilty of publishing and mailing obscene matter. The matter in question was an attack on a townsman.
