and said he believed his men would be beateO in two weeks. Telegrams of greeting and protests against government by injunction were received from the Populist executive committee of the Sixteenth congressional district of Ohio, the German Trades Assembly of Philadelphia and the Atlanta Federation of Trades.

Mr. Ratchford took exception to Mr. Carson's statement that the Illlnos miners had lost their strike. He said the miners were winning their strike, and furthermore, his men were not asking this convention for aid. They wanted this gathering to eradicate, if possible, the power of injunction. Taking a fling at Miner Pat O'Neill, he said a man who advocated the use of Winchesters had co place in the convention. "Down our way," said Mr. Ratchford, "miners don't know how to handle guns."

James Hogan, formerly of the A. R. U. and now representing the Social Democracy of Chicago "General" Bradley, of Commonweal fame, and "Oeneral" Heineman, a Texas Populist, kept up the flow of words until 5 o'clock, when the convention adjourned until tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, when the resolutions committee Is expected to report.

NEAR A SETTLEMENT.

It Is Believed That Ratchford Will Consent to Some Mines Starting.

Pittsburg, Pa., August 30.—The strike situation in this district may be said to be in a muddle. It is known that when President Dolan left for the St. Louis convention, he was the bearer of an important proposition to be submitted to National President RatcIP ford, which asks the privilege of staging some of the mines. It has the sanction of the district officials, and only needs the consent of the higher officials.

The smaller operators here will hold a meeting tomorrow to agree to make whatever promises the national officers of the miners require. These operators held a meeting last week and, it is said, obtained twenty-nine signatures to an agreement to pay the rate demanded, and not to sell coal to the big thirteen combination which controls the lake trade.

If Ratchford gives his consent a number of mines will be started at once, and in that event it is predicted the strike will soon be ended.

One of the "big thirteen" said tonight: "If mines start under such an agreement in the Pittsburg district., the Jig is up, as all of the states involved are concerned. The hour that men fire given the privilege o? working in the Pittsburg district, desertons from the ranks of strikers in West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois will follow. "If twenty-nine mines in the Pittsburg district should start they would not find a market for more than two cars of coal a day each."

Secretary Win, Warner, of the miners, said tonight that all of the small operators in the Pttsburg di-strct, with the exception of a few, are willing to pay the rate demanded, and he is in favor of letting them start.

A BREAD BOARD APPLIED.

Put to a New Use Yesterday by Fred Davis of North Fourth. Dolly Cunningham, a girl of 15 years, applied to Deputy Prosecutor Walker yesterday for a warrant for the arrest of her stepfather, Fred Davis, 452 North Fourth street, who she alleged had committed assault and battery upon her person.

Davis is too fine for this country. He should- have been a native of the Orient, with a dozen servants to fill his nargileh, wave huge feather dusters over his haughty head and bear water to him- in a golden vessel. As his condition is, however, he committed an offense yesterday •which was hardly justifiable 'in ahy1 one but a Bey of Algiers. He had stretched his form on the floor, and was spending some time between trying to sleep dull care away and keep the flies off his nose. Finally he called Dolly and ordered her to "mind the flies" while he would snore a spell. But Dolly is independent and told him she had a large enough contract on her hands to do the same for herself.

Davis thereupon lost his temper and, picking up a bread board, struck the girl. She came down town and swore out the warrant.

At the trial the defendant contended that he had the right to correct his child. The ptate, however, replied that Dolly was not •his child, and he could do no such thing. Mayor Ross did not enter into this question. but discharged the man on a promise lo curb his temper.

TROUBLE FOR DAVIS.

The Photographer Lays Himse!f Liable to Another Dose of Law. There Is a wave of infelicity In the Davis family. The husband, wife and baby came here a week or so ago from Tell City, and moved into a house across the way from (Davis' mother. Last week Mrs. Rlla Davis had James ~W., the husband, fined heavily in court for bearing her. She had a black eye and her face ana neck were terribly bruised by the fellow's cowardly ibloWs. At the same time she complained he had tried to run away from her and take the child with him.

Davis paid hla fine and was released. He went home and nothing was heard from him until yesterday, when his wife came to 'Squire Turk again. She said he had taken the baby over to his mother's. The latter refused to give It up, and used some Insulting language, so the poor woman says. She obtained a warrant for Davis on the charge of desertion and for his mother for provoke. They will appear before 'Sciure Turk today.

Party of Seventy-One Children. Saturday afternoon occurred a beautiful children's party at the home of little Helen Kisner. Seventy-one of her little friends Joined in the merry making. Fruits, nuts, candies aad^.,bananas were served in abundance. Little Helen received many pretty presets. At the parting each child received a well-fllled souvenir bag.

INDIANA RAILROADS.

THERE ARB MORE THAN 8,500 MILES OF TRACK IN THE WHOLE STATE.

How It Is Divided Among the Various Railroads—Another Method of Telegraphing from Trains.

Indiana has a large place on the railroad map of America. A great many of the roads have been consolidated in the last few years, but under the law they keep up their corporate names, and the "stockholders"—generally represented by one or two officers—hold their meeting®, once a year. Thus, in the Big Four system t'here are at least fifty companies, but they are almost forgotten as to name. In Indiana, saJLS the Indianapolis News, theire are 6,279:09 Of main track. 291.89 miles of second' chain track, and 1,968.42 miles of side track. The trackage of the roads is as follows:

TELEGRAPHING FROM TRAINS.

The Method Devised by a Chicago Telegraph Operator. George V. Trott, a former telegraph operator of Chicago, has devised a system which will shortly be put in operation on the Pennsylvania Railroad by which every train on the line is in constant communication with the station next ahead, and when desired with the train dispatcher or any public telegraph station.

The device, which railway engineers declare will revolutionize railways, is an adaptation of the street railyway trolley, or third rail of the elevated railways.

Two ineulated metallic tracks are laid between and parallel to the traction rails. They are not connected, and at intervals, equal in length to the circuit it is desired to establish, are separated by a non-conduct-ing cushion. A trolley mechanism, consisting of three pains of wheels, connected in multiple by knuckle joints, and hinged to the footboard of the engine, runs under the tender on the inner rails. The contact of the metallic wheels with the metallic rails closes the circuit, as the wheels are joined by a metallic framework. Insulated wires conduct the current into the engine cab. and by means of the bell cord into any part of the train where there is an instrument.

Trott is a man of frail form and poor health. He is 31 years old. Before his health failed he had been an operator in Chicago, in Boston, where he was bom, and in New York. He later worked for the Santa Fe as a local train dispatcher. He now lives in Chicago. He recently wrote to the Pennsylvania railroad officials and was invited to send them his plans and specifications. Their engineers and electricians promised to give the system a practical trial as soon as possible.

Century Road Club Meeting Quite an enthusiastic meeting of the C. R. C. members at J. F. Probst's last pight to make arrangements for the fourth: annual century run. The date was set for September 19, it being thought best to make an earlier date than heretofore, as there is always likelihood of postponement.

It was decided in addition to registering at the u#ual places: start, at Cayuga and return, to this year register at St. Bernice, or Jonestown, on the return trip, for there is a great temptation Jo fired riders to cut the course at this point and gain a mile or so. .. ,,

The pace will be as usual, the o.d schedule to be used which allows about five hours for the trip Up.

The pace-makers will be the old reliable Fred Probst, who has acted in that capacitv on several occasions, assisted by Captain Charles Wittig, of the Wabash Cycling Vlub. It was decided to get something in the way of a souvenir token a little different from that given formerly, and Mr.

Nehf is in correspondence with tne leading badge makers for designs. Landlord Higglns, the genial friend of 'the century riders, will be instructed to have plenty of fried chicken and pie and many other things so dear to the heart and stomach of the century fiend.

On the up trip nobody must go ahead of the pace-maker, tout the return will be a go-as-you-please. Fourteen hours' will be allowed for the trip, starting from the Filbeck house at 6 o'clock a. m.

WHAT KEEPS THE SUN HOT.

ft Will Probably Keep Warm Voj Tweaty UUlUm Tears. Aooordiag to (he most recent investigations, the temperature of the Ban is somewhere between 8,000 and 6,000 degrees centigrade, And tbare are reasons for believing that for hundreds of thousands, perhaps for millions, of years it has been radiating heat into spaoe with no appreciable loss of temperature. Were the sun simply a cooling mass of stone or metal it must ages ago have lost both its heat and its light were it a globe of burning carbon it can easily be calculated that it would have burned oot in about 6,000 years. Where, then, does it get its heat supply is a question frequently asked.

We are so accustomed to regard fire, oombustlon, as the principal source of heat, or at any rate of intense beat, that it is not easy to realize that there may be other sources, equally abundant, from whioh the sun may obtain its perennial supply of this article. Astronomers long slnoe discarded the idea that there is any sort of combustion going on in the sun. Its heat is, more probably,-of that sort known in physics as mechanical heat— heat that is produced by friction, by hammering or compression. We ai» familiar enough with the first two sources, though ordinarily the amount of heat which we perceive to be thus developed is rot great, but heat produced by compression is not so often brougbfc to our notice. From a variety of experiments, however, it can be shown that whenever a metal, as a pieoe of lead, or the air, or indeed any gas, is forcibly oompressed heat is evolved, and this is the source to which astronomers are now inclined to look for the main supply of the solar energy. This idea was first suggested by Hemlholz, and it has been taken up and elaborated by Lord Kelvin. A ocording to the theory of these scientists the sun, wbioh is simply a mass of gaseous matter, 1b now and has been for ages contracting Its dimensions—is growing smaller—and the mechanical heat produced in this process is precisely that which it is continually throwing off into space. Lord Kelvin calculated that a contraction of the sun, under the force of gravity, which diminished its diameter to the extent of four miles a century, would fully account for its heat supply, enormous as it is. The sun might contraot at this rate for several thousand years before there would be any diminution of its size perceptible even through a telescope. Of course, this process has a limit and eventually the sun, having become too dense to contraot further, must begin to cool off, but not for some 10,000,000 or 20,000,000 years, says Lord Kelvin.—Philadelphia Record.

Bacteria as Vermin E^terminmtorg. Perhaps one of the most remarkable uses to which bacteria have been put is that of vermin exterminators or poisoning agents. It was in the year 1880 that Professor Loeffler, while experimenting with mice in his laboratory at Greifswald, discovered a micro organism whioh was extremely fatal to all kinds of mice. The happy idea occurred to the professor that this lethal little microbe, which he christened baclllns typhi murium, might be turned to excellent account in combating plagues of field mice in grain fields, where the devastation committed by these voracious rodents had becomo in parts of Greece and Russia a serious source of lo#s to Agriculturists. Experiments were accordingly made on a small scale to test the efficiency of this bacterial poisoner in destroying field mice, and so successful tfrere the results that Loeffler confidently announced tbe possibility of keepfing down these pests by distributing food7 material infected with these bacteria over fields which were invaded by tbero. Mrs Greek government took up tbe question,^ and Loeffler's method was applied with brilliant results the disease w«s di9senainhted with fextraordfnary rapidity and severity and the mice were readily destroyed.—Longman's Magazine.

Ko Confidence In the Guru. It is not safe to trust utterly tbe guidance of the Hindoo fanny or to put great reliance upon intellects which are so little troubled by contradictions and absurdities, Of course there are notable exceptions in suob careful scholars as Dr. Bbandarkar of Poona. I may tell right hare a brief story which throws light on some of these things. The late Bamkrishna Paramahamsa was called by one of his disciples in talking With me in Calcutta "the greatest man of the nineteenth century." He is believed by some to have influenced Keshnb Chunder Sen. He was tbe religious teacher, tbe guru, of Vivebananda.

Max Muller dubs him "a true mahatma." The learned Oxford professor told me that he asked Vivekananda if Bamkrishna knew Sanskrit. The answer at first was evasive, but finally he said, "When Ramkrishna was in tbe jungieas an ascetic, a beautiful woman came down from heaven and taught bim the langwage." Max Muller's very natural reply was: "Nonsense! The only way to learn Sanskrit is to get a grammar and a dictionary «nd go to work."—Outlook.

A Well Drewed Ham.

Lord Russell, when practicing at the bar, one day examined a witness, whose evidence promised to be damaging unless he could be previously confused. The only vulnerable part of tbe man was said to be his self esteem. The witness, a portly, overdressed individual, went into the box, and the great lawyer took him in band. "Mr. John Tomkins, I believe?" "Yos." "You area stockbroker?" "I ham."

Lord Russell regarded him attentively for a few moments, and then said, "And a very well dressed ham you are, air."

The shout of laughter which followed completely disconcerted Mr. Tomkins, and tbe lawyer's point was gained.—Scottish Nights. :.:h

Odor of Flowers.

It is said tlio odor of flowers is antics^ tin and that during epidemics the workmen in perfume factories are exempt. Some essences are good for the nervea. Amhergrls clears the b*ain and induccs thought- Mtisk in tiny quantities acts as a tonic. Citron and aloes are soothing to tbe nerves. A chemist believes that each scent oin be symbolized by a musical note, and a French romaaticist in a book says on inhaling tbe fragrance of fiowers on shore and bearing the strains of music borne on tbe air from tbe deck of a vessel, "I could not tell whether I breathed musio or heard flowers.Exchange.

LAUDAHUM P0IS0U 0UEB.

SiMdluc and Brine Save life. "With his inspiration but five in fivt minutes we saved him." 1%e speaker was Dr. Albert I». Blacktturn, chief of the medical staff at tbe Presbyterian hospital, Pinladelpt&x The man reJbrred to !*ad b*en tnoa^Iit tb?re by tbe patrol wagon several wwka ago nearly dead from the eSjcts of quantity of laudenum which be had swallowed with suicidal intent, but who now, th&nfcs to the sudden llougbt, or, more SlKoly, tte Inspiration, which seized Dr. liiacJreurn, when all the usual methods wcro failing to restore consciousness and death reomad imminent, is mighty glad that the bftftth of Hfe ctill lingers in his brccet. "For hours we worked with him," continued tbe doctor. "We applied the stomach pump, but tfce blood had absorbed the poison. We tried other methods. We worked assiduously, almost frantically} Reluctantly we were fwced to acknowledge that we could get no results, for the patient sank lower an3 lower. We were at our wits' ends. "Suddenly this lino of thought struck me: That man's respiration is but five in five minutes. He is practically dead. The stomach pump will do no good, for the blood has absorbed tbe poison and is pregnant with it. The only way to get it out of the system is to bleed him, to deprive him of tbe very essence of life in order to give him life. Then, I thought, blood is largely a saline solution. We can prepare a like solution with tbe proportions tbe same and inject this into the body to take the place of the poison filled blood. Tbe body will do the rest. It will assimilate tbe solution and make it blood. "The chance was a desperate one, but tbe circumstances called for it. So we bled the man, and tbe two pints which we let out was as black as ink, so pregnant with the poison was it. Quickly we injected an equal quantity of the saline solution. Then, with our anxiety at a high tension, we stood around to watch and await results. "Once we thought we detected a slight increase of respiration, but we dare not' trust too mnoh. A few minutes later we were sure of it. Slowly the respiration began to rise and slowly but surely the organs began to once moro resume their functions. Still we watched, fearing a relapse. None came. "Then at last the man was out of danger. Ho staid under our care for a few' days, and when we sent him away he had totally recovered from tbe effects of the poison which he had put into bis system. Today he is a bale and hearty man."-—• Philadelphia Times.

Telegraph to tbe Klondike. A proposition looking to the establishment of telegraphic communication) with the Klondike goldflelds has been received through tbe British embassy by this government from tbe Canadian authorities. Tbe route suggested by them as tbe most practicable is that beginning at the head of winter navigation at Lynn canal, that being the name of the narrow body of water stretching from Juneau to Chilkat crossing, the mountain range at White's pass, and tbenoe to Klondike via Fort Selkirk. Tbe Canadians are willing to construct the line from the canal across the range and along the trail through Fort Selkirk to the boundary line and to maintain a system of dog trains during the winter months for carrying the mails, $rith stations 40 or 50 miles apart.

The papers have been referred by Secretary Sherman to the interior department, where they are under consideration.—New York Sun.

Nervous Breakdowns.

There is a curious moderx. theory about nervous breSv'idowns which ma/ uc wortb stating. Some physicians say that just before the nerves "go on strike" they fulfill their functions most fully and easily, deluding their unsnspocting possessor with the idea that his mental capital is i*exh/mstible and thus intensifying the btvakdown. Certainly this was the ca«o with Lard Randolph Churchill in lBSSaud 1880. On $be other hand, there are medical authorities who cherish the hypothesis of slow and gradual wearing out of tho nervous energy.—London Saturday Review.
