WALKERTON INDEPENDEKh WALKERTON, . . _ INDIANA LIVE ON HALF BATIONS. PITIABLE CONDITION OF PENNSYLVANIA MINERS. Illinois Supreme Bench Loses Justice Scholfield—Mrs. Tourney’s Pleasant Position— Sioux City Will Have a Corn Palace— The Biter Bitten. Starving Coal Miners. The condition of the miners throughout the Schuylkill region, and particularly in the districts embracing toe towns of Shamokin, Mount Carmel, Ashland, Girardville and Centralia, is verging toward starvation. During the past three months scores of collieries have not worked more than two full weeks, and the outlook at present is more dismal than at any other time during the virtual shut down. Hundreds of families are forced to subsist on half the usual allowance of food, and no estimate can be giver, of the number who are com; elled to accept private charity in order to keep body and soul together. Relief associations have been formed in nearly all towns, and through them many sad cases of destitution have been reported and temporary help given. IlHiiotv* (ireat I.oss. Judge John Scholfield, of the Illinois Supreme bench, died at his home in Marshall, 111., at 12:15 o’clock p. m. Monday of peritonitis. The Judge had been suffering for years with stomach trouble, but had rarely allowed his ill-health to keep him from his duties. Ho attended the January sittings < f the Supreme Court and returned to his home the first of the month to recuperate. Friday he was taken seriously ill and suffered greatly and at once it was seen that his days were numbered. Medical aid was sought in Terre Haute and Chicago, but all was of no avail. From the first he showed a desire that his wife and children might not be overcome because of his sufferings. Intelligence of the death of Judge Schofield elicited expressions of genuine sorrow from the politicians assembled at Springfield, without regard to party. Judge Schofield was universally regarded as one of the purest and most high-minded jurists in the country, and was esteemed as highly by Republicans as by Democrats, Mrs. Cleveland's Private Secretary. A special from Washington says that Mrs. Cleveland is to have a private secretary. She has been in correspondence with Mrs. Tourney, of New York, who was recommended for the wrk by Mrs. Whitney. Mrs. Tourney is a widow who has traded a great deal, and who is the mistress of several languages besides the English. It is said that she has arranged with Mr. Cleveland to attend to the voluminous correspondence of the social side of the White House for the sum of $2,000 per ! year. She is to be engaged between the I hours of 9 and 2 each day. NEWS NUGGETS. A heavy snow-storm is general throughout the Dakotas. Messrs.

At first he refused to tell where and when this happened er who was implicated.

TROUBLE IS BREWING. SOUTH AMERICAN REPUBLICS SPOILING FOR A FIGHT. Heavy Loss of Life in Vermont snd Colorado (Xuarries—Missouri Town Almost Wiped Oat by Fire—For Rapid Mail Delivery. Central American Republics Uneasy. Fighting is expected between Nicaragua end Honduras if the present strained relations continue, according to the story told by Daniel Sweeny, a commercial traveler just arrived at San Francisco by steamer from Nicaragua, that the latter Government has excited the bitter hostility of Honduras by sheltering political refugees from that republic. Honduras is on the eve of a revolution, as Gen. Valdez, commanding the army of the tapital, is conspiring against. President Lavers. The latter was afraid to attend a meeting on Jan. 16, and he is now in hiding. Salvador hates Nicaragua because Nicaragua permits the smuggling of Honduras tobacco across her territory into Salvador. In fact. Sweeny says all three would fight to-morrow if they were not So poor. Meanwhile ma.rtlu.l law prevails? in the three republics, and no one can travel without a puss. The lives oi strangers are not safe, as the loss of a pass means imprisonment and hard usage. Heavy Fire Loss at Dexter, Mo. At Dexter, Mo., fire started in the frame building occupied by Thomas N. I Doherty as a dry t oods store Friday I morning and before it could be stopped i destroyed twelve buildings in the south half o: the block, which tvas almost entirely occupied by business houses. In addition to the twelve houses burned a dozen more are badly damaged. A stiff gale was blowing from the west at the time. The orig.n of the fire is not known. It was well under way when discovered. Several of the firms burned out were among the largest of the town. They will all probably lesume business as soon as their losses are adjusted and they can secure buildings in which t ’ open up. The losses are estimated at $60,000. A little over half is covered by insurance. This is Dexter’s third fire within a year and in amount of losses has been exceeded in only on • instance, that of Mar h 5, last year. Sixteen Meet Dea. h.

DOINGS OF CONG RESS. MEASURES CONSIDERED AND ACTED UPON. At the Nation’s Capital—What Is Being Done by the Senate and House—ol*l . Matters Disposed Os and New Ones Considered. The Senate and House. The House Tuesday made fair progress with one of the great appropriation tills. That legislative hill appropriates upward of $21,500,000. Aside from a review of the condition of the treasury by lilessri Dingley and Dockery—divergent views—and an attack on the civil-service law by Mr. Dearmond the proceedings were uninteresting. Senator Chandler managed (ogive a political twist to the debate In the Senate on the automatic-coupler bill. He trouzht up a resolution in the National Democratic platform which denounces the Republican party and the Republican Senate for not having provided lezislation for the protection of railroad employes, and he insisted that the position of so many Democratic Senators against the bill was nconsistent with their party fealty. He twitted them with the f: c that only seven of them had voted to take up the bill for the repeal of the SherTil ten iLCt. kno win r Acc-A ixt.'. on of National Democratic Convention on the subject of silver, and knowing the entreaties of the President-elect to have the Sherman act repealed before March A Mr. Wolcott, while arguing against the automaticcoupler bill, said that no other Senator than Mr. Chandler could have found a political advantage in it. After a great deal of talk back and forth no action was taken on the bill. On Wednesday tHe Senate resumed consideration of Ote railway car-coupler bllL - Mr. Peffer took exception to some lem^rka made by Mr. Wolcott, reflecting, as Mr. Peffer thought, oa the fermers and workingmen of the country, and he hoped that the bill would pass, no matter how much It might cost the railway companies He had no qualms of conscience on that point Mr. Gorman argued that the organization of railway employes could accomplish more in the way of improvement than all the legislation that could tepiledonthe statute b.ok. Mr. Cullom declared i: hag got to be a question whether Congress would put money against the blood of railroad employed, and whether money was more valuable than the lives o£ these men. Various amendments were offered, but without action the Senate, after an executive session, adjourned. The Speaker laid before the House the House quarantine bill, with Senate amendment, and Mr. Raynor moved a concurrence. A few moments before 1 o'clock Doorkeeper Turner announced the presence of the Vice President and Senate cf the United States, and the vast assemblage rose with one accord to do them honor. The Vice Pres’dent took the chair assigned to him at the right cf the Speaker, and the Senators occupied the LrSt four rows of the seats to the right * f the presiding officer. The counting Os the electoral vote was then proceeded with, and at its completion the Senate returned to its owi. hall. When the Senate retired the House te-timed in committee the consideration of the legislative approt tiation bill. Without disposing ot tl e lull the committee and the House adjourned. Thursday was silver day in the House, and the friends of silver were victorious in. the fight by a majority of A They sustained the demand for the previous question on the resolution setting apart Thursday and Friday for the consideration of the bill repealing the Sherman act.
