TYILL NOT EETUEN TO WOBK

Tho Secret Ballot of Brazil Miners Said to Bo Against Ending the Strike Prolaliliiy thatOperatois Will at Once Equip Their Mines with Machines Two Views of the Proposed Labor Federation Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. Bkazil, Ind., Jnly 18. A private ballot has besn taken in the block-coal fields here to determine whether the miners would resume work or not. The returns are not all in yet, but a sufficient amount have been received to indicate that the proposition to go to work was defeated by at least four to one. The situation here has not changed much since July 1, On that day the miners, by a popular vote, refused to accept the terms of the operators, even with the concessions secured for tfyem. They were minor concessions, bat they counted up in the aggregate to a good round sum in a year. The operators, on learning the result of the vote, said they would introduce machinery in the mines. One mine, No. 10, north ' of Brazil several miles, is being equipped with air machines. One thing; to cause delay is the progress being made in milling machinery. Heretofore compressed-air machines only have been in use. Within the past few weeks iwo electric miniug-machfnes have been invented and aro now- being tested. One is a direct pick, the other a drill. Electricity as a motor in mining is a wonderful invention, and a revolution is naturally looked for. The movement for machinery is general throughout the State. A committee of operators representing Clay, Vigo, Sullivan, Greene, Parke, and perhaps other counties, are now at Shawnee, 0., to inspect tho electric machines there in use since May 1. Large orders secure lowest prices, also considerations are now obtainable in order to introduce the machines. Whatever mav bo the outcome of the strike, it is not likely that the operators will abandon the opportunity afforded by electric machinery for the old process of picks. On June 19, the operators authorized the Journal correspondent to say that thev could give ample work on a day's notice to all the striking miners in Clay county at seventy and seventy-five cents, if their offer was accepted at once; but that if they did not accept until the year's business was lost by competitors taking the contracts they could not pay the prices offered, nor give the work as promised. The miners blindly continued the strike, believing political demagogues, and listening to their competitors. If the result of their vote had been to go to work, the next question would have been to get the work, and the prices' once ottered. The outlook is not encouraging. The introduction of machinery may displace two-thirds of the 2,000 miners that originally struck. lias 2io Faith In a Federation. Fall River, Mass., Jnly 18. Secretary Howard, of the Spinners Union.was inter viewed this forenoon in regard to the pro posed alliance of all the great labor organ izations of the country, as suggested by the recently issued circular of Powderly and others. Mr. Howard said that he had little faith in the feasibility of the. proposed or ganization, as the interests which it was proposed to benefit were of too widely .divergent characters to reap the samo inelligent and prompt remedial measures as might be expected from a less complicated and cumbersome body. The textile workers of New England. Mr. Howard felt satisfied. wonld not look favorably upon the proposed amalgamation, as they were satisfied that a more direct and profitable method of settling wage disnutes and obtaining re dress for grievances was through, the me dium of organizations representing solely the branch of industry in which they were engaged. "The Knights of Labor," said Mr. Howard, "are practically dead in fxew England, and I do not believe their former power can be restored. Their mismanage ment, or worse, of the Tecent strike of the Worcester shoemakers destroyed all hope of their future usefulness. This latest movement is a scheme on the part of some of the labor leaders to recoup their fallen fortunes and recover the prestige which they held in former days. The movement may meet with success in the West and South, but. although I express simply mv own opinion, I have little hesitancy in saying that the mill operatives will not look favorably upon the plan. The expenses ot the executive department of the Knights of Labor is a great drawback. The same- obiection will annlv to the proposed amalcamatton. and thedelavs incidental to the ad justment of union matters would also serve to make it unpopular." Powderly Says There Will Be No Fusion. Chicago, July 18. The work to-day by Master Workman Powderly and his associ ates on the K. of L. executive board was mostly of a routine character. The most important business of the day was the re leasing of a coal mine owned bv the organ ization, near Cannelsburg. Ind., to the present lessees lor a period of ten years. Mr. Powderly this evening emphasized the statement made by him, on his arrival in this city, in reference to a circular which, it is said, suggests an amalga mation of all tho organizations. "The people who boast about this." said Mr. Powderly, "know the least of it. Tho Knights of Labor is only one of many different associations. Everybody ought to know that the Knights of Labor is a general association of all trades and crafts. Within the Knights of Labor and com posed of its members these other bodies, such as the Federation of Labor, the Fed eration of Kail way Employes and others sprung up. There is necessarily nothing mimical m meir rcumuus, uui as mero began to exist an idea that if a man belonged to a trade association he was opposed to the Knights of Labor and vice versa, tue cnieis or an invse oouies prepared a circular stating the fact that they were and would bo expected to work in harmony. There was no intention of fusing the organizations. That idea is all speculation The Paris "Labor Congress. Paris, July 18. The Possibiiists me t a gai n to-day and continued the discussion of yesterday upon the condition of the working classes in different countries of the civil ized globe. To-morrow the subject of in ternational legislation for the amelioration of the condition of the wage-workers will be taken up. The Marxists devoted the greater part of to-day's session to the read ing of reports from the various nations represented upon tho progrrss made by the Socialist propaganda within the j-ear. The two factions still meet m separate balls, aud the prospect is that thev will continue to do so. there appearing to be some insur mountable obstacles to the much-talked-of union between them. The failure to effect a fusion causes much bitterness within the ranks of both tho Marxists and the Possi biiists. The International Labor Congress in session here to-day passed a series of resolntionh very Sweeping in their scope. Among other things the resolutions demand a universal maximum of eight hours for a day's labor, one holiday every week, and the unconditional suppression of all labor by children under louneeu years oi age. a------"-M-----'-Coal Heavers Ask Fifty Cent an Hour. .

Over 810,000 Distributed by the Kcllef Commission at Johnstown Yesterday. JonxsTowx, Pa., July 18. To-day Judge Cummin, of the State relief commission, is sued 1G5 checks, aggregating $1C,835. Treasurer Thompson cashed 149 of the checks, amounting to $14,CS5. A largo num ber of new claims are under consideration, and it is not believed that the $.100,000 of the Governor's fund will reach all the suf ferers at the rate orders were issued to-day. Another distribution will follow the pres ent, and all will be considered in the order of their coming. Judge Cummin, treasurer Thompson and their assistants left for uresson at 4 o clock.

The grand total shown bv Colonel Orav'a cash-book is 'JH i5.81. fte has a balance of $1,000 on hand. Lvery cent is accounted for, and tho account is backed by sworn vouchers. Ifow English Syndicates Purchase 31111s. Milwaukee. Wis.. Julv is. S. If. Sr-a-mens, treasurer of the National Millers' Association, in speaking of the attempts of English capitalists to purchase liouringmills in this country, said: "This whole business is worked by brokers, just as the brewery business was. These brokers, who are in rsew lork or some other large Eastern city, know that there is endles3 English capital seeking investment iu anytning mat will pay better than the returns they now get, which are only from 1 per cent, to .1 per cent., and they scour tho country for purchasable property. They get all the information they can about a mill, and if it pays they endeavor to get au option on it. Having succeeded, they put me ming into me nanus ot me ionuon brokers, who work up a syndicate for tho purchase. When one is formed, a London accountant is sent over, and if everything is satisfactory, a purchase is made. Tho managers aro usually retained, the English people being content with a controlling interest simply. But they will not bother with a small mill. It must have a capacity of over one thousand barrels a da v. Of such mills Milwaukee has only a few." A Gang of Itobbcrs Come to Grief. Meridian, Miss., July 18. An organization modeled after the James and Younger ?;angs has suddenly come to grief in this Lauderdale) county, through tho capture and confession of a member of tho gang. Thoy called themselves the stabutchio Waspnest," and their mission was burglary and robbery. So far, eight members have been spotted. Six of thcse George liby, dam Irby, Jim Irby. Luclien Irby, Bill Irby and Jim Jones have been captured. Two others, Buck Irby and John Jones are at large. The organization was formed about two years ago, and their peculations have extended over that time. Some days ago the store of J. G. Kainer at Causeyville. in this county, was broken into and robbed. Tho next day the place where the spoils weie divided was discovered near the home of Bill Irbv. Tho unsatisfactory whereabouts of Geo. Irby, his son,, led to his arrest. lie confessed to the robbery and told of the organization. Tho members, except Bill Irby, are young men, all white. They had a regular signal where to meet and to lay their plans. Itules for Transporting Dead Bodies. Detroit. Mich.. Julv 13.

THE rUIZE-FIGHT ABETTOBS

Aiders in the Eecent Sullivan-rulrain Mill Put Under Bond for Trial. Affidavits Made Out Against the Principals, Who Will Also Be Tried in 3Iississippi-A Detective's Experience in New York. Pcnyis. Miss., J uly 18. John Fitzpatrick, referee". Bud Renaud and Pat Duffy, managers of the excursion in tho prize-light; C B. Rich, owner of the lighting gTound and Kilrain's host; J. W. Smith, Rich's clerk, who entertained Sullivan the night before the tight; D. A. Gilbert, the head carpenter, and II. B. Gilbert, sawyer at the Rich mills, were all in town to-day to be arraigned. Mr. Rich aud Captain Jamieson, of the Rangers, who did guard duty at the light, gave bail last Monday. Fitzpatrick, Duffy and Renaud pleaded not guilty, and gave bail in the sum of $1,000 each to appear at the next term of the Circuit Court. When asked when the court would . meet, District Attorney Neville replied that tho next regular term would be in December, but Governor Lowry had asked Judge Terrill to hold a special term for August, which will probably be done. Tho employes of Rich's mill, before mentioned, were then arraigned, and pleaded not guilty. Their bond was fixed at S2o0 each. The bonds wero all signed by R. S. Cardongh and J. McLeod, local merchants, and C. W. Rich, tho mill-owner, and the prisoners released. , An effort was made by process of court to obtain the $2,000 bet by Sullivan and Kilrain, the money being-deposited at the time in Fitzpatrick's hands. He replied that all bets and stakes, as far as he knew, had been paid over to tho winners. Tho only sensational development of the day is District Attorney Neville's statement that charges will be preferred against Sheriff W. J. Cowart for receiving a bribe in convection with the prize-right. Ho says he has the evidence of two gentlemen, who saw tho bribe accepted. Sherill Cowart, who is very popular, wants an investigation, and declares tho charge untrue, lie is very much incensed about tho abuse heaped upon him by tho Northern papers and tho currency given to tho rumors in Mississippi, whero his reputation is dear to him. He details at considerable length his efforts to stop the tight. He was very much moved when he heard District Attorney Neville's statement. He intimated that he might be driven to desperation and would make some of his enemies sutler. The district attorney states that besides those mentioned above, affidavits have been made against Superintendents Tyler and Carroll, of the Northeastern road. In spito of all their boasts that thev would appear they did not come. They j win nave to answer 10 mo enarges. However, and the caso will bo fought to tho bitter end. He further said: "When I got Into tho h irst judicial district, tho Circuit 1 . e i.:f.. a .. : j t vuuu ui v.iucu iiici-'is hi vciouer. i win make affidavit against the Louisville Sc Nashville people who helped Sullivan to escape." He intimated that the Governor is determined and so is he. The atlidavits mentioned, beside those against the principals, seconds and backers, are all that will he made. The mem bers of tho press are safe. He understands that it was their duty to be there, and besides they have been"" of great assistance to him, so they will not be indicted. It is not believed that a iurv can be found iu this county that will convict Charlie Rich. As for the others. Rich s popularity will help them. The sentiment of towns like Richburg and Purvis is in their favor, but in the back woods they have a good deal to fear. In tho absence of the principals to tho light, however, tho feeling is that tho aiders and abettors should not be punlsneu. i Detective Norrls' Experience. New Yonic, July IS. Acting District At torney Goff'said to-day that requisitions for tho parties and principals in the receut Kil-rain-Sullivan light had not yet reached hs office. The rueu." ho added, "who wero identified with the light, when arrested. will, of course, bo turned over to Governor Lowry, and it is certain Governor Hill will consent when the necessary papers are shown. Detectivo Norris. of Mississippi, was at police headquarters to-night, and stated that he had been refused warrants at the Tombs Police Court for the arrest of Mitchell and Donovan, and had Kent a telegram to that effect to Governor Lowrv. in reply ho received f he following dispatch: You need not arrest and detain the parties as fupltive8 from this Mate, as you nuggeted. We will await the Investigation of the grand jury. Ascertain facts as instructed, and report to me. k urtiier instructions mailed to you yesterday. . Detective Norris said he had been in tho city two days, acting under instructions from the Governor. Ilia original intention was to arrest Mitchell. Donovan and others who took any part in tho light as fugitives ironi iuissisippi. jixio reiusai oi .juuge liogan to issue warrants changed the programme. Norris now awaits the mailed in structions of the Governor. Since his ar rival here Norris said he had been engaged in getting the names, addresses and all pos sible information about tne participants in the light, from tho principal down. He branded as a lie the story that he was to get 80 for taking tho Kilrain party safely through Mississippi to New Orleans. The detective also added he would be sorrv to sec Muldoon get into any trouble. The wrestler did him a favor some years ago and lie remembers it. "Tho reason I want to arrest Mitchell is that he is an Englishman, intending to leave tho country," was his answer to a' question. T have looked for him two days, and have failed to discover his whereabouts. I was in consultation with Governor Lowry in relation to the tight, on June 2$ and 20 and Jnly 3. I rode on Sullivan's train as far as Lexington, Mo., and from there sent on assistants to the end of the journey. I am an expert telegrapher, and was to keep Governor Lowry posted on what was going on, but the wires were cut. Governor Lowry is indignant because tho lighters passed through his State, and then turned back and pitched tho ring in Mis sissippi." The detective says that nothing further can be done in the matter until the Mississippi grand jury meets in September. Then about eighty men will be indicted. Muldoon and Sullivan's Whereabouts. New York, July 18. Billy Muldoon, Sul livan's trainer, was in the city to-day, and this afternoon went to Long Branch. He fiaidhe hadno intention of meeting Sullivan at Cnicago. Muldoon had heard that there were two Mississippi police otlicers here looking for him and ho is trying to keep out of their way. A dispatch from Ugdonsburg says that John L. Sullivan, accompanied by Win. Muldoon, passed down the St. Lawrence this morning on the Royal mail-line steamer Passport, en route to Montreal. During tho boat's brief stop at Prescott Muldoon handed a dispatch to a hotel man there to be sent to Montreal, asking that a suite of rooms bo prepared for tho party on its arrival. Fought for a Turse of S800. San Fkancisco, July 18. Last right Joe Bowers aud Jack Lynch, both of San Francisco, fought to a finish, Marquis of Queensbury rules, at the Golden Gate Athletic Club rooms, for a purso of 800. Lynch, who was badly punished about the face, received a blow in the eighteenth round that dazed him and lost him the fight. The Ohio Democrats. Philadelphia Inquirer. There is very little heard just now about the defeat of Governor Foraker for a third term, even from the most bitter Democratic organs. In fact, the only sound audible is the clash of arms in the Democratic ranks as to who shall lead the forlorn hope. It is a peculiar characteristic of the Ohio Democracy that they will right as bitteiiy over a worthless prize as for a valuable one. The Ohio Democracy is divided into two factions, known as the Kids and the Mossbacks, and their antipatb.3- for each other is greater than it is for the Republican party. This is tho reason" of the present contest. Neither party particular ly wants tho nomination for any other reason than to prevent its going to the onposition. In consequence there is a Kilitennv state of affairs in the great party that is going to tight this fall on the freetrade lssuo lor tho governorship. It was

generally conceded a month ago that exCongressman Campbell wouldibe the nominee, but young Allen Thurman has stirred up such a row over the matter that there is no telling who the candidate will be. In the meantime Governor Foraker is happy. IN A SERPENTS COLLS.

The reril of a Show-Woman Who Was Exhibiting a Boa Constrictor. Ilolyoke Democrat. At about 8 o'clock last night, when the tent was tilled with spectators. Mrs. Wallace mounted the platform and took from the box the fifteen-foot boa constrictor. She twined it around her neck and body, and then petted it as though it was a kitten. After handling the reptile for several minutes it began to get away, and opened its enormous mouth. Tho spots on its body grew darker, and its skin glistened in an unusual manner. In its movements it became more lively, and it was with difficulty that the charmer could keep it around her neck. It uttered a low, humming sound as it swung its head from side to side. This noise grew faster and louder until it broke out into tho appalling hiss of the king of reptiles. 'the audience, who, up to this time, .were enchanted with the scene, drew away from tho platform, while they kept their . eyes fixed on the brave woman, who endeavored to pacify the snake by drawing her hands in rapid succession over its body. The snake, instead of quieting under her effort, seemed to increaso in anger. Its skin kept shining with a peculiar hue. and the hiss was prolonged until it could be beard across the street. The snako turned its head on the charmer, and its eyes flashed as it suddenly swung itself around her neck, and the coils began to tighten. The woman uttered a scream. Her husband, who had been watching every movement, told her to choke it. As soon as the woman heard her husband's voice she became remarkably cool, aud while the coils of the serpent were slowly but surely choking her to death, she quietly moved her hands down the body of the snake. The snake saw tho movement, and opened its jaws, but at the same moment the woman had clutched it around tho neck. With both hands she squeezed it, and then the coils began to relax. While holding the neck with ono hand she removed tho coils with the other. When the snako was put back into tho box, and a largo coil of iron cable thrown on top the audience breathed a sigh of relief." Mr. Wallace said that he bought the snako three months ago, in New York city, from a dealer. Last year tho same snake crushed a woman to death, while she was handling it in a New York museum. It is about to shed its skin, and is apt to be ugly during this time of tho year. WILD YOUNG IIKITONS. A Manitoba Kefuge for the Too Rapid Scions of the English Nobility. Mlcncaiolia Journal. There is one of tho strangest farms in tho world here in Manitoba. Its principal crop is an annual growth of young Fnglishmen, sons of wealthy parents who have interrupted the boys in their diligent work of sowing a thick and early crop of wild oats, and have sent them out to tho colony to have their moral and physical health built up, and a little industry and useful knowledge instilled iuto them at tho tsame time. The owners of tho farm, two brothers, charge tho boys for their board, and instruct them in farming for nothing, but tho work they manage to get out of the young fellows is worth a good deal more than tho time spent in teaching them, though occasionally a horse is foundered or a piece of iarm machinery broken. It is remarkable, though, how theso young sprigs of nobilitymanj' of them take to the hard work of the farm. They have true British grit about them, and tho managers have sense enough to have tho drudgery and dirtj work done by hired men. The boys ride tho horse rakes, drive the mowing machines, learn to run a thresher, plow, etc.. and all of them tako kindly to the caro of live stock, the horses, especially, though a propensity to raco the latter at every opportunity has to be guarded against. Tho "instincts of gentlemen" do not seem to desert them, either, for they will never sit down to cat in the clothes they have worked in. and they refuse to eat with the farm-hands who bring tho smell of stables tt the table. Bathing. s'nving and dressing for the evening tako up a good deal ot their time; indeed, "wasto it," real farmers would say, but tho boys insist On it. Thev also cling to their cigarettes. Many of them get to like the Hie, so that thoy stay longer than their parents insist -on; but nearly all return gladly when the tirm of their banishment is over. I he. farm -owners make a good thing out of it.. 1. ,- A SIMIAN SULLIVAN Who. Tuts ou the Gloves A Kilrain of the Saihe Stripe. Buffalo Express. . The average Italian may not ?e credited with an over-abundance of biains. but ho certainly has a great head for making money. Banana? No; not this time some thing new. One of them an Italian, not a banana was promenading the streets the other daj. with a box turned up edgeways and fasted to a pair of wheels. He stop ped on uourt street, near the snuare. opened a littlo trap in tho side, and out leaped two little monkeys, lhe Italian busied himself with the box, and a crowd soon gathered to see what was to be seen. Presently tho Italian yanked the monkeys up on the box by the chairs whirh were fastened to them, and then introduced them to the audience as "John L. Sullivan and Jake Kilrain' ne then told Jake to 4put on his coat," but Jake couldn't understand Lnglish, so ho didn't obey. A few words in Italian, however, and Jake got into that coat as quickly and in tho same manner as an ordinary human being would. Ho was ordered to take it off, as tho "great prizefight was to take place, aud no fighter could fight with his coat on." Jake took his coat off, and the Italian produced a set of miniatnre boxing gloves. lie slipped a pair on each animal's front paws. The crowd had been so interested that it forgot to wouder how the Italian was going to make anv money out of this. but it was soon brought to its senses by the Italian announcing that the great fight was ready to proceed after the gate receipts were collected. He passed the cud around. got it Pretty well tilled, and then ordered the fight to go on. The monkeys stood on their hind legs and danced around, while they dashed both gloves at the same time at each other's face. Kilrain fell frequently to "avoid punishment." , The referee spurred him on by shouting at him, but it was of no use. John L. succeeded in laying out his victim. Both were placed in tho box and the Italian then moved on. Flannel Shirts and Diamonds. Philadelphia Inquirer. To be quite in the fashion nowadays you must wear, first, a llamiel shirt, and second, a lareo diamond stud in the most con spicuous place on the shirt front This will bring you iu a line with the dudes. For a lone time after the flannel shirt became popular tho ultra swells hesitated to tako it np because liannel and diamonds don't go well together don't you know. Several of them put their meager brains together, however, and. after much mental acronv. evolved an idea. They would wear only one diamond in the shirt. This would enable people to seo that they really had a diamond, and tnat tney wore tne liannel shirt from choice.
