This condition has (jrown out of the centralization of the aqueduct laborers in largo numbers in that district. AVhen the laborers first began work they were a quiet and peaceable set of men, but in a little while some of the worst charactersin this city and from other places, whi wanted a hiding place from the police, saw a splendid opportunity to go "under cover," and wrat to work on the aqueduct. It did not take long for these criminals to become known to each other, and for mutual protection thoy formed a secret organization, similar }n many respects to the old Molly Quires. of Farther Outrages.

Mr. Rafidall said that when the resolution was first offered he objected to its immediate consideration because ho thought it was not comprehensive enough.

Though nothing has been formulated yet, it is agreed upon in ecclesiastical circles that Archbishop Williams, of Boston, will be made a curdinal at a consistory in March. A strong flavor of truth is given this belief by tho fact that Rov. Dr. BodDsh, chancellor of the Boston archdiocese and an Intimato friend of tho archbishop, is quoted as saying he will bo in Romo this month. It is thought his errand will bo to tako from the pope an indirect offer of the honor to the archbishop. Since tho last visit of Cardinal Gibbons tho pope has been Uglily impressed with the clever management of the American church, its growth and importance, and is anxious further to promote its wclfaro by giving it another papal prince. In that cose, the gossip is, the new cardinal can havo the assistance of a coadjutor if ho wishes it, who will lie Bishop MeMahon, of Hartford, Conn., whoso place will lie filled by the consecration of Rev. Dr. Byrne, vicar general of Boston. Pottsville, Pa., Jan. 36.—Both branches of the striking miners' organizations were in session yesterday. Daniel Duffy, of 8t Clair, Pa., secretary, and John Thomas, of Fracksville, treasurer, wore re-elected, and Richard Northey, of Mahonoy City, was elected president over Iver Jones, who filled that position several terms. Northey's election is claimed to be a victory for the anti-conservative element and indicates renewed supremacy of the party that favors contesting the battle to the end. Jointly tho railroaders' question of permitting individual collieries to work at the advance was voted down, and after a bitter discussion the alliance between the railroaders and the miners represented by the two organizations, the Knights of Labor, and the Miners' and Laborers' association, was reaffirmed, and the standing out for the 8 per cent advance and the re-employment of all hands on the railroad, and at the mines, was overwhelmingly indorsed. Tho convention adjourned until the regular meeting in February. The editorial said: "There is a cash deficit of $815,138.60; unpaid bonds are out for ClflO,- 000, making a deficit of $475,188.tH). When the public accounts committee in 188(1 ordered the production of his account book Norquoy flatly refused. No entry is to be found upon its pages from, the month of Septemlier, 1885, to January, 1887. He did not dare make any.

Lord Charles Beresford explained that he resigned tho office of a junior lord of tho admiralty bocauso the interests of tho military and naval service had been subordinated to jwlitical exigoucios, His statement was greeted with enthusiastic applause. He added that the reason for his leaving the government had nothing to do with tho general policy of tho Conservative party. It was a question regarding the defenses of the country. Anybody who know anything regarding British fortifications concurred with him in tho opinion that they were inadequate. It wiis better, he declared, to have no guns in forts than to have those of anciont pattern.The membership was increased from time to time by new men who were carefully selected from the Italians, Hungarians, Swedes, Irishmen and negroes who worked in tho aqueduct, until several hundred members were known to each other. This organi zation soon became a powerful one in tho commission of crimes and tho protection ol criminals. How well theso marauders have sucewdod can be seen by a glance at the long list of robberies that liavo been committed noar the aqueduct, tho foul murders that have been perpetrated, and the brutal assaults that have been made upon women.

Tho vacant archbishopric of New Orleans is set down to Rev. 1'. L. Chappelle, of Washington, though a few think Bishop Janssens, of Natchez, may be tho ono promoted. Next spring tho popo will divide tho archdiocese of Milwaukee, and Bishop Ireland will bo made archbishop of one of the 'divisions. Rev.

Recently a committee of citizens waited upon Inspector Byrnes, of New York, and asked his assistance in cleaning out tho criminals. As a result a number of detectives have been employed in ferreting them, and wholesale arrests may be soon looked for.' HarrisbuAo, Jan. 20.—The annual meeting of tho Pennsylvania state board of agriculture opened hero yesterday in the supreme court room at the Capitol building. Governor Beaver presided at the morning session. That and the afternoon session were devoted to the consideration of the forestry question. Home widely divergent views were expressed on the sanitary and economic value of forests, indicating that before any comprehensive legislative measures can be asked for there will probably liavo to be greater accordance of opinion concerning what is to bo done. the State Capital. Mr. replied that he had no doubt that there wa ■■ a ••la.'- D of men who took advantage of i be tariff laws, and therefore thow who jei.eveil in a high piotoctivn tariff thought t at there ought to lie some way to prevent t lose laws being perverted.

RECOVERING THE DEAD. Tile Death Roll of tike Wellington Mine Exploflon 3.argely Increased. Mr. Rayner, of Maryland, said the resolution was not broad enough. It would not include the Western Union Telegraph company, which had swallowed tip every other telegraph company lor the purpose of controlling file business. It wouhl not affect the Stondaiii Oil eomiDany. That was not a combination of individuals. It was a combination of different corporations, each one of which was created by the sovereignty of a particular state. Tho resolution would not apply to that The Reading coal strike was a great question w hich was agitating the publicmind. The Reading company was incorporated by Pennsylvania, but it Shipped its commerce all over tho country. That company, which had entered into a conspiracy to strike down labor in the Lehigh and Schuylkill regions in order to increase the price of coal, would not be affected by the investigation. To extend the scope of the inquiry, he moved to strike out the clause which confines the inquiry to trusts not incorporated under the laws of any state. The motion was agreed to.

Strange stories have crept inte Rome regarding alleged complaints at tho predominance of Irish prelates in America. The popo has said that in making promotions in that direction he will not recognize, even if accompanied bj' the strongest recommendations, any claims for appointment based on national preferences. He is determined not to give oar to either side, should the issue ever come, for he holds that no citizen is Irish or German solely or distinctly in the United States, but an American, and as such, mentally and spiritually qualified for tho position in question, will they be considered.

Y., Jan. 38.—The people living.along the lino of the aqueduct from this town to New York ore in an exasperated 1'ramo of mind. This condition has (jrown out of the centralization of the aqueduct laborers in largo numbers in that district. AVhen the laborers first began work they were a quiet and peaceable set of men, but in a little while some of the worst charactersin this city and from other places, whi wanted a hiding place from the police, saw a splendid opportunity to go "under cover," and wrat to work on the aqueduct. It did not take long for these criminals to become known to each other, and for mutual protection thoy formed a secret organization, similar }n many respects to the old Molly Quires. of Farther Outrages.

Mr. Rafidall said that when the resolution was first offered he objected to its immediate consideration because ho thought it was not comprehensive enough. He would like to have it amended ho as to apply to tho .Standard Oil company, )Derhaps, tho whisky trust and every trust of any kind in tho United .States.

Though nothing has been formulated yet, it is agreed upon in ecclesiastical circles that Archbishop Williams, of Boston, will be made a curdinal at a consistory in March. A strong flavor of truth is given this belief by tho fact that Rov. Dr. BodDsh, chancellor of the Boston archdiocese and an Intimato friend of tho archbishop, is quoted as saying he will bo in Romo this month. It is thought his errand will bo to tako from the pope an indirect offer of the honor to the archbishop. Since tho last visit of Cardinal Gibbons tho pope has been Uglily impressed with the clever management of the American church, its growth and importance, and is anxious further to promote its wclfaro by giving it another papal prince. In that cose, the gossip is, the new cardinal can havo the assistance of a coadjutor if ho wishes it, who will lie Bishop MeMahon, of Hartford, Conn., whoso place will lie filled by the consecration of Rev. Dr. Byrne, vicar general of Boston. Pottsville, Pa., Jan. 36.—Both branches of the striking miners' organizations were in session yesterday. Daniel Duffy, of 8t Clair, Pa., secretary, and John Thomas, of Fracksville, treasurer, wore re-elected, and Richard Northey, of Mahonoy City, was elected president over Iver Jones, who filled that position several terms. Northey's election is claimed to be a victory for the anti-conservative element and indicates renewed supremacy of the party that favors contesting the battle to the end. Jointly tho railroaders' question of permitting individual collieries to work at the advance was voted down, and after a bitter discussion the alliance between the railroaders and the miners represented by the two organizations, the Knights of Labor, and the Miners' and Laborers' association, was reaffirmed, and the standing out for the 8 per cent advance and the re-employment of all hands on the railroad, and at the mines, was overwhelmingly indorsed. Tho convention adjourned until the regular meeting in February. The editorial said: "There is a cash deficit of $815,138.60; unpaid bonds are out for ClflO,- 000, making a deficit of $475,188.tH). When the public accounts committee in 188(1 ordered the production of his account book Norquoy flatly refused. No entry is to be found upon its pages from, the month of Septemlier, 1885, to January, 1887. He did not dare make any.

Lord Charles Beresford explained that he resigned tho office of a junior lord of tho admiralty bocauso the interests of tho military and naval service had been subordinated to jwlitical exigoucios, His statement was greeted with enthusiastic applause. He added that the reason for his leaving the government had nothing to do with tho general policy of tho Conservative party. It was a question regarding the defenses of the country. Anybody who know anything regarding British fortifications concurred with him in tho opinion that they were inadequate. It wiis better, he declared, to have no guns in forts than to have those of anciont pattern.The membership was increased from time to time by new men who were carefully selected from the Italians, Hungarians, Swedes, Irishmen and negroes who worked in tho aqueduct, until several hundred members were known to each other. This organi zation soon became a powerful one in tho commission of crimes and tho protection ol criminals. How well theso marauders have sucewdod can be seen by a glance at the long list of robberies that liavo been committed noar the aqueduct, tho foul murders that have been perpetrated, and the brutal assaults that have been made upon women. When those villains first began the terror stricken farmers and villagers appealed to the local authorities for protection.

Tho vacant archbishopric of New Orleans is set down to Rev. 1'. L. Chappelle, of Washington, though a few think Bishop Janssens, of Natchez, may be tho ono promoted. Next spring tho popo will divide tho archdiocese of Milwaukee, and Bishop Ireland will bo made archbishop of one of the 'divisions. Rev. Dr. O'Connell, rector of the American college at Rome, will probably succeed Right Rev. J. J. Xeano as bishop of. Richmond. Rev. Dr. Farrell, of New York, will in all likelihood be made rector of tho American college, succeeding Dr. O'ConnelL Pennsylvania's State Board in Session at Mr. NeL-ou, of Minnesota, inquired whether the gentleman hail any doubt, that the tariff law indirectly iiD-Dpeiiiterl to aid the trusts. Recently a committee of citizens waited upon Inspector Byrnes, of New York, and asked his assistance in cleaning out tho criminals. As a result a number of detectives have been employed in ferreting them, and wholesale arrests may be soon looked for.' HarrisbuAo, Jan. 20.—The annual meeting of tho Pennsylvania state board of agriculture opened hero yesterday in the supreme court room at the Capitol building. Governor Beaver presided at the morning session. That and the afternoon session were devoted to the consideration of the forestry question. Home widely divergent views were expressed on the sanitary and economic value of forests, indicating that before any comprehensive legislative measures can be asked for there will probably liavo to be greater accordance of opinion concerning what is to bo done. the State Capital. Mr. replied that he had no doubt that there wa ■■ a ••la.'- D of men who took advantage of i be tariff laws, and therefore thow who jei.eveil in a high piotoctivn tariff thought t at there ought to lie some way to prevent t lose laws being perverted. If there was no way to protect tho jjeople against these trusts except by a re/'sicn of the tariff, he was ready to vote on thai, question now. Leaving a Dummy In His Cell.

The result of these two meetings is a victory for the strike leaders, and no official change in the situation can be expected for a few days at least. It is predicted, however, that by Feb. 1 all the individual operators will be given the privilege to work at the advance. Albany, Jan. 20.—Richard Fitzgerald, who was serving a sentence of two years in the penitentiary, and was confined in tho south wing, escaped from his cell, leaving a dummy lying on his cot He dodged the officers and guards, and then climbed to the top of tho wall, donned a guard's clothes, and jumping to the ground outside, a distance of thirty-five feet, escaped. RECOVERING THE DEAD. Tile Death Roll of tike Wellington Mine Exploflon 3.argely Increased. Mr. Rayner, of Maryland, said the resolution was not broad enough. It would not include the Western Union Telegraph company, which had swallowed tip every other telegraph company lor the purpose of controlling file business. It wouhl not affect the Stondaiii Oil eomiDany. That was not a combination of individuals. It was a combination of different corporations, each one of which was created by the sovereignty of a particular state. Tho resolution would not apply to that The Reading coal strike was a great question w hich was agitating the publicmind. The Reading company was incorporated by Pennsylvania, but it Shipped its commerce all over tho country. That company, which had entered into a conspiracy to strike down labor in the Lehigh and Schuylkill regions in order to increase the price of coal, would not be affected by the investigation. To extend the scope of the inquiry, he moved to strike out the clause which confines the inquiry to trusts not incorporated under the laws of any state. The motion was agreed to. Portland, Ore., Jan. 2Ci—Rescuing parties have been working hard at the Wellington colliery, tho sc ne of Tuesday's disaster. The cage can bo lowered to where the debris is. From there the rescuers descend by means of a ladder. The work of clearing away the debris from the bottom of the shaft is being pushed forward with all possible speed, and not till this is done can any dead bodies be brought up.
