New Yokk, January 30. E7trythlrg teems to depend on tho poiu; of view froui which you lock at the rf cent meeting of the Democratic State Committee-. The Herald says: "David bc3 fired the Crst stot from his ambuCEde and brought down the great American bir 1 the goose. It is clear that he trot nothing else. He feels very sick In coneefjUenct;. A week ago he was the supposed friend of Cleveland, tbe trusted champion of the Democracy of the S'.ate, and a ear1? candidate for Governor. To-day Goverro Hilt's real pnrpr s? btar.ds revesled. lie is ro longer the triend of Clevtla-id. Hr is d strnttd by tbe Democracy, gn-.i bis chancs3 for renomination are far from certain. Tais great cbaDpe in Hills prospec's was brought to light in tbe confessed attempt he ioade to capture the S:ate Committee last Thursday." The World, which iicererally supposed to look at the Governor with friendiy eyes, says: "Since the little suirmibh last Thursday between tbe admirers of President Cleveland and Governor Hill for the capture of a national cornrai'taeman to succeed Hubert O. Thompson, Republican newspapers, and mugwump 9beeis more e? pf cialJy, have devo'c-d columns of heartrending tc'es as to how the Governor was fit nt upon undermining Mr. Cleveland. By the Irienris of both eeotlemen thsse S'orics are regarded hs the sheerest nonwrse, and friends here ot both h&va not hesitated to dconncc them as such. A former S'ate oflicial, who was a member of Mr. Cleveland's etaffwhen he was Goverror, aud has been and Is now on terms of jn'imacy with the Presidrnt, laughed at the idea teat relations between Mr. Clevelard and the Governor are at all strained. 'I believe,' said he tc tbe World correspondent, 'that a eincens friendship exists between the President and Governor Hill. All reports to the contrary emanate, la my opinion, from those who would like notaiLg better than to provoke a factional fight in the Democratic party.' " Two of a Mormon's WiTo Captures. Salt Lake City, Utah, January 30. The second wife of B 8. Schetler, a prominent Mormon, was caught by deputies to-day. Schetler was indictel for unlawful cohabitation over a year ago, but his wife could not be found and a postponement of the trial was had by the government on account of absence of material witnesses. The defendant opposed the postponement bitterly, deniandiDg a epeedv trial. His second wife tells the United C ates Attorney ehe could tell the truth, though sbe probably would not have any friends left among the Mormons after doing so, but would not lia. It was better for Schetler to go to prison than lead euch a life of terror and skulking. Ehe did not believe Schetler would go back on polygamy. He is too religious a man. He had visited her occasionally when she was hiding from the oüicers. She had four children, the youngest seventeen months old. Echetler'a third wife, who has also been detected, was found Saturday last. Kt, Mr. Spureon'a Creed. Losdon, January 30. Rev. Charles H. Spurgeon, In a letter to the Baptist Union, says every union, unless it is fiction, mast be based npon certain principles. The doctrine of baptism by immersion will not Buffice as a ground-work. There are other doctrtnes besides which are essential. He is unable to feel fellowship with man fairly because of his adherence to the doctrine of immersion, if in other matters he is false to the teachings of the scriptures. Fred Ffefrer Slcs.

New Yokx, Jtnuarv SO, The fury of the ttornis whicn beaa Thursday, and which swept the railroads of Northern and East ern New York with snow, was not spent untiliSaturday afternoon, but the railroads, up to that time completely at their mercy, becan a vigorous fight sgainst the drifts, which ended in a complete victory. Ualrf8 more snow falls to-dny the b'ockade of New York by snow may be said to be ended. Tbe New York Central and Hudson River road, as Boon as the snow had ceased falling and tbe wind had stopped blowing Saturday afternoon, ordered out an army of men to clear the tracks, and soon tbe read between New York and Albany was literally lined w ith men, while the huge snow plows went pluneii'g thiough drifts in some places higher than the eaves of the cars. Fas Beugers who arrived Saturday night at 12 o'clock by the "Vestibule limited" from Chicago and they did finally arrive at the Grand Central Etation, thougn they were rive hours late tell graphic 'and thrilling stories of the appearance of the tracks between Albany and this city. In some places tbey said it was like passing through a marble-lined tunnel, tbe 6now being piled bo high that tbe view out of the car windows was obstructed. After 12 o'clock Saturday night the Central was able to announce that it would thereafter run passenger trains upon schedule time. In the superintendent's office it was ascertained yeuterday that freights would be running to-day upon schedule time. Rochester, January 30. Yesterday an idea of the fury of the three days' bhr.zird was obtained. On the New Yort Ceatral road, between Buffalo and Syracuse, there weie several live stock trains when the ttcrr? came on. An eiVjrt was rcvie to run them to points where the stock could be sheltered, but, m spite of all ellorts, neaily fifteen carloads of cattle acd hogs, destined for Boston tnd New York, were frczen to death nar Palmyra, and several carloads at other points. Report3 Lorn ten railways in this locality Er.ow that all will be in operation to-day. fow-plows were running all day yesterday on ihe various lines. The storm has entirely subäided.

The ice ia ten itches or mere thick, and the most powerful tugs can render them no assistance. Most of tbem will ba wrecked unless prompt assistance is rendertd when the ice breaks up. The revenue cutters will be reededhen to keep theta from driflicg on the sboals. Mokkis, Minn., January 30 Cwing to a blockade of a branch of the Northern Pacil'.c road, over wbicn most of the wood consumed here is brought, the supply of wocd in ell yards here is completely exhausted, with no prospects of an early rfescue. The rotary plow came as far as Cyrus, nine miles east, Friday, but then broke down and was takeu to St. Paul for repairs. Sibce tht n woik on this branch has been suspended and will probably not be muri e until the rotary returns. At this time the pecpln of Morris are in painful suspense as 10 the condition of tho fuel market. eT. P.M'L. Jinrary CO. Frcm Winnipeg the Pioneer Press learns that no through trains have aTivr d there over the Canadian Pacific since Wednesday. A train load of passengers is said to be blockaded in the middle of the mountains, and fears are entertained for their safety, as their etock of provisions is not large. No wheat shipments for the East are beirg taken, on account of the blockade on tue north shore of Lake Superior. Wikmi eg, January 30 The latest reports from tbe mountains indicate there has been great loss of life on the Canadian Pacific owing to snow slides. Passengers comiDg on trains from Calgary bring meager particulars of the disaster. Strong Chinook winds have been prevailing for the past week, and all along the line from Donald to Glacier snow has been coming down on the track in tremendous quantities. Near Pallizer Slation, B. C, several men were caught in a slide. One was dug out alive, but he was bally bruised and is not expected to recover. The mild weather has put an effectual stop to all through Canadian Pacific trains, and as the mountain streams are considerably swollen, it may be some time before traflic ia resumed. Among the Railroads. Chicago, January 30. Chairman Blancherd bus authorized the Chicago east bound lines to make a twenty-five cent rate on flour to tbe seaboard in connection with the Minneapolis and St. Paul roads. This is to meet the cut of two and a half cents made by the Boo route from Minneapolis. It Is expected that Hour rates will be carried much lower before the struggle is over, TortKA, Kan., January 30. The action of the Missouri Pacific IUilroad in issuing a sew local distance tariff applying to all its lines in the State of Kansas, excepting those on its central branch, has been duplicated by the Chicago, Kansas and Nebraska, (Rock Island), and a number of other roads will probably follow. The new sheets make reductions of .from 15 to 20 per cent. Dekver, Col., January 30. At a niset Ire of the freight agents of the Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, Denver & Rio Grande and Santa Fe roads, held ia this city to-day, it was decided to increase the rate on all classes of freight from California points to Colorado points 15 per cent, with the exception of green fruits, which remain the same as at present. Union Men's Scheme, Chicago, January 30. There is a movement on foot among the Chicago labor organizations ttat, if carried out, will either keep the Democratic National Convention away from Chicago, or else place organized labor in antagonism to the candidates of tke convention. It is being pnhed by so ice of the enthusiasts for an indlpendent political labor movement, for the purpose of forcing organized labor to abandon the old parties and join the independent radical political movement. Of late it has come to pt generally believed amng labor

men that rot only did the contractors cn the Auditorium building emloy non union labor, but they used stone that came from the Chester penitentiary, and the most aggravating circumstance in the eyes of staunch union men is that this stone we s hauled from the Chester penitentiary by the Wabash, Chester acd Western Railroad, of whicht the principal owner is Charles B. Cole, who in the last eession of the Legislature introduced a bill making tbe boycott a criminal conspiracy. The intention is to again bring about a concerated movement of all the Chicago Central Hbor organizations similar to the one at the time of President Cleveland's visit, and to petition the President or Democratic National Committee not to hold tbe National Convention in the Auditorium building, although thev would be glad to have tbe convention'come to Chicago. The proceedings will be secret, as they will be in the bands of the boycott board, which have of late become very secret bodies. The plan lato have a committee appointed consisting of delegates of the boycott executive boards of the va: ions central bodies, and to inaugurate correspondence with the President or the National Committee.

Dodging; tbe Strikers. Pottsville, Pa., January 30. The small traders and merchants have been put to m any curious devices to avoid giving further credit to strikers. Buch wholesale merchants as are located here are giving small orders, principally In the way of meats, but are told cot to ship it. The merchants themselves send ahorse and sleigh to bring it, generally under the cover of night, and take it in through the back entrances and keep it in cellars and in backrooms. When strikers come in to buy on credit, tire dealer stretches his conscience sufficiently to Bay he has not the required article. A cash customer can get it, but it must be done on the quiet, and is received at the bouse just as it is brougnt from the wholesalers. Bhoald it become known that there little deceits are being practiced, the dealers will be boycotted, but even that wonld not be so unmixed an evil as to be eaten out of house and home by hungry strikers, as was the case in 1875. Numberless instances of financial wrecks, growing ont of that long and disastrous struggle between the miners and operators still abound here ia Pottsvlile, and are pointed to now by thoee who are engaged In business and have urged tbe strikers to resume work.

Fate of a Tragic Writer Bot- Orders Two of a New Invention A Christmas Remnant. Written for the Sentinel. (Copyrighted ISSs.) THERE Eli ALL IE NO MORE KS IG UTS. Queer ideas we nineteenth -century people have about names and titles. T&ie this great organization of workmgmen, tbe hard-worting, industrious toilers 01 our land the Knights of Labor. Could inspiration suggest a name more misleading and inappropriate? If there was anything in the world that the plumed Knight didn't do, it was work. If there was one thirg that he considered degrading, it was honest toil. If there waa a creature in all the world for which he had a profound contempt, it was a workmgman. JUe called the honest laborer a hind, a churl, btse born, ignoble, a clown, lie believed that the wcikirgman was made of coarser clay tban the knight of gpntle blood ;I trink he even doubted if the laborer bad a soul. A cowcaidly, quarrelsome, hard-drinking, braggirg, thievirg, "high born" knave, who barricaded himself and his horss in a ton of armor plating, and with a lance twenty feet long rode into a mob of halfnaked wretches armed .with bows and arrows, and called it war. Why tte honest, brave, toiling workers of to-day, free-born men, should want to call themselves knights." rather than yeomen, I don't know. Ah! brethren, the English i3n't the only man who "dearly loves a lord." We seem to love even the faded reminiscence of one. Why, cut in Emporia, Kan., while I was waiting for a "thunderbolt train" that was six hours late, a voice called into the waiting room, "Sir Walter! ' and '-Sir Walter" sxid "Hey?" and got up. I observed "Sir Walter." The grim old knight wore a sword-belt three sizes fb small for him, and his rapier hung down between his leg. His boots were thernddy hue of boots that shuddered at the scent ot blacking; large, roomy, many wrinkled boots they were, and the soil cf the Kansas corn-field clung to them in gouts and patchea. His black pent&loons, scant in the lean pa.ern cf a bygone day, bagged fearfully, at tbe bunched and bony knees, and his black frock-coat was a nightmare. Bat Sir Walter's hat was the hat of a plumed knight, and it lent to hisgrizzled face ird bony figure the genial a?p?ct of a scare-crow that had gone through a millinery store. "Sir Waller" looked a moment for a convenient corner, but finding none, turned his face toward the stove, projee'ed bis nnderlip a srant half-inch, and with one sibilant, well-directed shot put out the fire, tossed his now useless quid in after it, and without pausing to gaze upon the ruin, followed "air George" out of the door. They were Knights of something omniscient Providence only knows what but they were Knights. And, possibly, Earors. They looked barren. EOOM FOR THE WOMAN ! "Give the woman a chance!" shouts the Woman's Journal. All right, woman, here's the saw; there's a piece of baconrind on the chocp'.ng-block right by the eawbuck; two cuta to a etick makes it exactly kitchen-stove length; rest your knee on tbe middle of tbe stick, and be careful that you don't catch the saw in your skirta. You can have a chance at it from no jv until dinner-time, while the men go down to the grocery and talk politics or listen to old Sammy Stammerwheezle try to read last week's paper. IT WAS A TRAGEDY. "Have you read my seven-act tragedy I left with you last week?" asked young George Aristophanes, the leading American humorist, uncovering his head before the manager. "I have." replied the great man, "but I don't see why you call it a tragedy. It reads more like a farce." "Ah! yes, but it is a tragedy, and a fearful one. Yoa see, the idea is, we lock the doors, and the audience dies about the middle of the third act." "Not if I can save them!' howled ihe indignant manager, who wanted to save his audiences to buy a steam-yacht with them, and with one vicious stab he thrust a $10 bill into the humorist's hand. The unhappy man gave one horrified glance at it, recognized it, and fell dead upon the floor. The manager calmly withdrew the fatal bill and sold the body to a neighboring medical college for $10. Everything always favors the manager that truly loves his audiences. IS TABULATED FORM. A fashion paper says "the latest form of a dlning-table is square." Ha! to correspond with the meal, probably. UNCONSIDERED TRIFLES. 'Copyright?" exclaimed the honorable member from Bitter Creek "copyright? Reckon it ain't a eoln' to come up this session. I ain't noways interested tn'it anyhow; they ain't a arthur in my district. I'm leggin' to git the tax oS'n tobacker. A Statesman that looks after the interests of his constituents ain't got no time to fool around with aide issues." BUT A GOVERNOR KEEPS AN ORGAN. . Untenant Governor Riddle, of Kansas, has been offered $-500 a week to sing tenor, and he refuses. Ha! we've known some base politicians who had to sing small for nothing. TLEASAr r ALL ROUND. Senator "Yes, we are going to report unanimously against confirmation; that is to please our constituents " Interviewer. "Yea?" Senator "Yes; and then we are going to unanimously confirm; that's to please the nominee." WE WILL TAKE TWO. An Indianapolis man has invented and patented a "band carrier." If it can carry a band of thirteen pieces out into tbe woods and dump it into a swamp a mile deep, with alto horn at the bottom, the inventor can get an order for a job lot of his machine right in this town. TOO EIAVT FOR TRI MAILS. Tbe Postoffice Department charges eight ceats a pound for carrying printed matter. This makes it abont twenty-fire times cheaper to send a speech on the tariff by telegraph, full rates, than to send tt by mail. BIMPIB BIDS 'KM.

TEE TF.OrLE ARE SAFE. "1 understand." eaid the able and honest editor of the Anti-Monopolist, handing in hisarnual for 15b7, "that the Railway Commission has effectually stopped the issue of annual passes." "It has, indeed," replied the Superintendent of the Gnnd, Gouge and Barabbas County Air Line, "but it has multiplied exceedingly the number of railway employes. Here is your employe's ticket for 1SS3 write your nfime on the back, please for which you will render the same service as last year." And bowing low, Honest Tom Benbolt, better known as "The People's Friend," put his trip ticket; in a large pecketbook which he carried for that purpose, and went home to write a corker on the blood-sucking corporations that, like hideous vampires, are drinking the blood of a sleeping nation, a nation lulled into fatal slumber by open intimidation and secret bribes. And it's dollars to dongbnut8 that Honest Tom, the Old Watcb-Dcg of Liberty, is gotng to work himself into Congress on the anti-monopoly racket long before .he wears out his trip ticket.

Our family 1b eo large, you know, that we just organized a Christmas trust this year. See!" And Romeo sai he thought he could, dimly WE 1ELIEVE " Dr. Elliott Coues says he has an "astral form," and can easily be In two places six thousand miles apart at the same time.
