The action of the employes yesterday In offering to accept the same conditions the mill-owners were willing at first to concede, viz., ten hours and a proportionate reduction in wages, shows they are tired of idleness and willing to throw up the sponge after losing on an average of $50 to each man employed. The mill of Bliss Bros. & Co. started this noon with a full crew at eleven hours and Sanborn & Hill started this morning on the same conditions, making in all sixteen mills running at eleven hours. The matter will resolve itself into the following shape: Many of the men will prefer eleven hours and extra pay aud the mills will be so run. Others will be content to work ten hours and accept reduced pay. Only four tenhour mills arc running. A warrant has been issued in Saginaw City for the arrest of Representative Barry for inciting conspiracy at Rust, Eaton & Co.'s mill, lie is out of the city and wiil be arrested immediately upon his return. JENKS k CLARK, Attorneys at Law, Brookville, Pa. Office in Matson Block, opposite the public buildings. Leader in Cents Styles Troy, N. Y., August 13.—Tho execution of James Horace Jones,21 years of age, for the murder of his wife, Amelia, took place at the jail in this city to-day at 10:31 a. m. Jones passed most of the night in prayer. This morning he refused to take breakfast until after he had received holy communion. Last night in his cell, Jones made the following will: "I give and bequeath to ltev. Peter Havermans, my spiritual adviser, my body. I hope and trust he will see it buried decently and protected from mutilation. 1 also give and bequeath my heart to Home and my soul to heaven. I appoint Father Ilavermans executor of my will." Jones walked to the scaffold with steady step and was wonderfully cool when the tirst preparations for his execution were being made. He refused to say anything and appeared anxious that there should be no delay. He insisted that he never intended to kill his wife, and he felt sure of his spiritual welfare. When asked by the Sheriff if he had anything to say he shook his head. His face was pale, but his nerve was wonderful. His hands did not tremble. After hanging twelve minutes he was pronounced dead. A crowd of 2,000 people remained outside the jail the entire morning, and inside about 200 witnessed the execution. It was successful, the machinery of death working perfectly. Jones' crime was a brutal and cowardly one. He shot his wife in a drunken frenzy on July 3,1884, after having beaten her and knocked her down, JOHN ST.

New Yokk, August 14.—There are many more silver dollars in the Treasury vaults at New Orleans than can be safely stored there either conveniently or safely. Secretary Whitney has ordered the United States steamship Swatara, now at the navy yard, to proceed to New Orleans, take on board as much of the silver as shall bo deemed advisable by the Treasury agents, and transport it to Washington. All day yesterday, and until it was too dark to see, the sailors of the Swatara were at work breaking out the ship's ammunition, except such as was absolutely necessary, and taking in coal. By 7 o'clock all the ammunition had been taken out and stored in the navy yard magazines, and only a few tons of coal lay on the wharf waiting to be stored in the Swatara's bunkers. To-day the Swatara will take on board the heavy wooden ironstrapped boxes in which the silver is to be packed. These boxes hold each about two cubic feet. There are of them each of which will hold about $3,000 worth of silver, or $7,500,000 altogether. There are aboil t $10,000,000 in silver at New Orleans.

On Wednesday evening at 5:45 o'clock, Miss Kealey was taken suddenly and violently ill, and vomited continually until she died, an hour and a half afterward.

Montueal, August 13.—Mr. Frank, a leading lawyer of Nebraska, is expected here in a few days to examine witnesses in a case involving the right to an estate in Iowa and Nebraska, valued at $500,000. Stephen Desnoyes, of this city, emigrated to the Western States some years ago, with his wife and a boy about 5 years old. His son, now a young man, became dissatisfied with a farmer's life and went to New Mexico. Desnoyes died, leaving no will, and his next kin applied for and received letters of administration. Another relative, however, who, in the event of young Desnoyes' death, or the illegality of his heirship,would be entitled to all the property, commenced suit, setting forth that the young man known as Desuoynes was not the son of the deceased; that while a baby in the cradle here another child was substituted for Desnoyes by a woman who was a near neighbor, and who had adopted the rjghtful son, and that after some years tlW boy who was stolen died and was buried in the Kast, while the child who put, in the place of the sou grew up without the Desnoyes family ever noticing the difference between the children,as their ages and complexions were the same.
