Des Moines, la., Jan. I. -The path
of the ofticprs who attempt to enforce
I the prohibition law in Iowa is not always
I strewn with roses. Wednesday night
deputy sheriff Pierce went to the saloon
of Lorenzo 111, in Des Moines, with a
search-warrant. Not finding; any of the
"contraband" in the bar room he tried
the door to the cellar bulibund it locked ,
when the barkeeper refused to open the
door. 1'ierce then broke She door
open. Descending the stair case by., a
dim light he saw a beer keg in the cel
lar and started for it but walked into a
pit about nine deep, the bottom of which
was set with sharpened stakes. Pierce
threw out his arms and caught on the
sides of - the wall, but by the aid of con
stable Henson, who accompanied him,
he was rescued before falling on the
stakes. Officers say the pit had been
freshly dug and had every appearance
o having been espacially constructed
for a trap. When released Pierce seized
ihe beer keg and carried it up stairs and
placed it in the hands of constable Hen
son. Meanwhile the bar-keeper had
sent for Pierce. : Two officers came up
and arrested Pierce on the charge of in
juring the building. Lorenzo 111 also
filed a coniplainst him for malicious in
jury to the building. The case has not
yet been decided
PnmcRG, Pa., Jan. 1. The long
strike of the River coal miners is vir
tually over. The miners of Walton,
Hays, Rishcr and 3Iunhall have return
ed to work at the 2 cent rate, and there
are now almost. 2,000 men at work at
that price. The call issued for tomor
row's convention does not meet the ap
proval of a largo number of the miners,
as they seem to consider it an act low 1
edgment of defeat. .The others, how
ever, assert that it is a most commenda
ble course to be pursued, alleging that
with such a large number of men at work
it would be impolitic to continue the
strike much longer. The excuse for
taking this step by the officers of the
Knights of Labor is that all attempts to
get those miners who are working to
throw down their picks have proved
futile. -
Clinton, Mass., Jan. 1, The Lan
caster national bank of this place closed
its doors last night after a searching
examination of tbe books by the direc
tors. The president, W. H. McNeill, is
missing and has not been heard from
since Tuesday, when he was in Lowell,
when he started ostensibly for Boston.
He is charged with having used the
bank's money for speculative enterprises
in which he was interested and which
do not furnish ample security, This is
thought to be the cause of the present
trouble. What the bank's condition is
no one knows or can anyone know till
after the arrival tomorrow of bank ex
aminer Gatchell. '
FrrcHBCRa,'Mas8., Jan. 1. W. H.
McNeill, the missing president of the
Lancaster bank, of Clinton, was at the

and probably took the Cheshire train to

here twice, tried, to speak to him, but
McNeill took no notice of him.

green banners and bearing other em
blems of green color, was one of the fea
tures of the dav s celebration. -Thirty
bands were interspersed throughout the
procession. Good order prevailed. No
soldiers were seen on the streets during
the demonstration. .
Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 1. A special

Cincinnati, O., Jan. 1. The cool
nesa and heroism of John Beck lev, the
i foreman of a gang of street workmen,
probably saved several lives yesterday.
Jight or ten men under bis direction
were repairing a lockage in a forty-inoh
mam,: at the corner of Jughth street
and Egglcton avenue. They had to dig
a bole about twenty, feet square and ten
feet deep in the middle of the street,
and were quietly at ork this morning,
when suddenly a sound like an under
ground explosion was heard from the
ist bank of the cavity. Then the earth
of -one side begao' to slip away
rapidly and was followed by an
overwhelming flood ol water. "Jump
for your lives, boyiV' the foreman
t-houted. "Climb out, climb out, or
liriwn." The men began to scramble
up, but it was almost .impossible, and
tiie water poured in lite a mill race and
heavy banks of earth began crumbling
in. It looked as though the men woul 1
be caught and drowhea like rats in a
f it betore help could jik given, when
ieckley called to them oMslimb on his
shoulders. In that maAner every man
was saved. Berkley sTikthe lftst to be
pulled: out cf the drtch, and
left it the water was up to la.-
v. 'nen ne

Just as he was drawn out two sides of
the hole caved in, carrying several tons
of earth into the place where the. men
had been struggling but a moment be
fore. But for Beckley's action several
would have been caught in it and inev
itably drowned.
Washington; D. C, Jan. 1. For the
first time in eeverai years new year's
day dawned clear and beautiful. The
hoar frost was soon dissipated by the
rising sun, and long befora noon the
temperature was like that of a spring
day. The occasion was observed here
as in former years by a general calling.
Business was suspended to a considera
ble extent and all the executive depart
ments were closed. At the entrance to
the White House grounds two police
men kept back the crowd of curious
idlers who gazed with interest at the
handsome equipages of the diplomatic
corps, 4he high officials of the govern
ment and distinguished persons. Mounts
ed policemen kept clear the carriage
approach and a long line of officers was
formed Jon either side the doorway. The
full Marine band occupied the main ves
tibule and discoursed strains of music
during jthe progress of the ceremodies.
The decorations of the mansion were
exceedingly simple, bring confined to
tasteful floral arrangements. Graceful
palms and rare tropical plants were there
in profusion. Bouquets of great size
and harmonious colors stood on
the centre tables and delicate
garlands of smilax contrasted with crys
tal chandeliers. . At 11 o'clock, to the
accompaniment of "Hail to the Chief,"
by the Marine band, the presidential
party entered the reception rooms and
took up their' station -in the- blue parlor.
Mrs. Bayard leaned irpon iihelirhi of the
President; Secretary Bayard escorted
Miss ' Cleveland, and the remaining
members of the cabinet followed with
their ladies, secretary Lamar being the
only absentee. They exchanged cordial
greetings, and the ceremonies opened
with a reception to-the diplomatic corps.
The Portugese minister, Count Das Na
gniras, acted as dean of the corps in tbe
absence of the Haytien minister. Mr.
Prestan, representative of . the foreign
powers,: was introduced to the. President
by the secretary of state. The chief justice
and associate justices of the United States
supreme court came next in order, and
were followed by the judges of the court
of claims, United States Senators and
Representatives in? Congress, jtidges of
the supreme court of the District of
Columbia and the judicial officers of the
district ex-members of the cabinet and
ex-ministers of the United States. A
few minutes before noon the band burst
forth a with martial air from the "Black
Hussar" and the officers of the army and
navy filed into the reception rooms,
headed! by Lt. Gen. Sheridan and his
staff. As the officers passed through
into the east parlor and mingled their
glittering uniforms with the elegant toil
ettes of the ladies there assembled, the
scene was one of notable brilliancy.
Next in the order of reception (came
Prof. Baird, commissioner Colinan, the
civil service commissioners, the asgis
tant secretaries heads of bureaus and
other government officials. Next came
the veterans of the wars of 1812 and
1846 A'few in the number were bowed
with oik age. The Grand Army of the
Republic made a fine display and were
received with marked deference. Many
colored men, some of them crippled and
maimed, were included in the ranks of this
organization. While the oldest inhabitants
of the organization were passing through
the reception room the citizens were
i being formed into line on .the sidewalk.
Their,, number ran . up into thousands,
and th line beginning' at the gateway
nearest -Seventeenth street, stretched
well Over towards Fifteenth street.

Richmond, Va., Jan. 1. Governor
Fitznugh L'3C was inducted into office
today iu the presence of the general as
sembly ot V irinia gathered in joint
convention in the hall of the house of
delegate!, the galleries of which awl
every inch of available; sfcmding room
were occupied l)y interested specta
tors, including many ladies. , The ro
tunda an 1 the approaches thereto were
also crowded with people, all eagerly
striv ng to gain admission to the hall or
catch a glimpse of the; new Governor
r.s he passed . ' f
The oel Parker association, of New
ark, N. J., which arrived this morning,
were assigned to privileged places on
the floor of the house and attracted
much attention by their fine appearanee.
At 11.50 a. m. the speaker called the
house to order and the proceedings were
opened with prayer by Rt. Rev. Dr. A.
M. Randolph, Bishop of the Episcopal
church. Clerk Bigger then read the
journal of yesterday. Just as he con
cluded Hon. John H. Daniel, United
States Senator-elect, entered the hall
and was escorted to a seat. He was
greeted with enthusiasm.
At 12 o'clock the senate of .Virginia
was 'announced, and that body filed in
by twos and took the; sats -assigned
them. The speaker then called the
joint convention to order and immediate
ly named delegates, Messrs. A.
fulkerson, li. Jtl. btribblmg and Senator
Taylor Berry as a committee to notify
Gov. Lee that the general assembly of
Virginia was ready to receive him. In
a few minutes loud cheering on the
outside announced the approach of the
gubernatorial party and soon afterwards
Gov. Lee, arm-in-arm with the retiring
execntive, Gov. Cameron, entered the
hall, followed by a number of ladies and
gentlemen, including -Hon. John E.
Massey, Lt. Governor-elect, and Mrs.
Gen: Lee (wife of the Governor), and
Mrs. Beckham (wife of ex-mayor Beck
ham, of ' Alexandria, Va.), escorted
respectively by Frank W. Dawson, of
the Charleston News and Courier, and ,
Dr.) George W. Ross, I of Richmond.
The appearance of the I party was the
signal for a perfect ovation of enthusi
astic applause, which continued sev
eral minutes. The two Governors
were escorted to the speakers' plat
form, where the Hon. L. L.
Lewis, president of the supreme court
of appeals of Virginia, administered the
oath of office to the new Governor and
Lieutenant-Governor. At the eouclu
sion of- this brief ceremony the joint
convention was dissolved and the house
took a recess for fifteen minutes. Con
gratulations and hand-shaking then be
came the order of the day, the G-jvernor
descending, to trie floor and meeting
friends and strangers alike, with a pleas
ant word for each. 'The Joel Parker
association were individually presented,
the first member introduced fastening to
the lapel of Gov. Lee's coat a handsome
badge of the association . A noticeable
incident to the ceremonies was the al
most total absence of colored people in
the hall. : Only two colored delegates
were present, and a colored man wear
ing a badge of the Joel Parker associa
tion. The latter joined in the stream
of visitors who passed by the Governor
tnd congratulated him. He extended
his hand to the Governor and with a
smile upon his face said : "Governor,
let me congratulate you.'' Governor
Lee looked at him and breaking out into
a laugh exclaimed : "My friend, don't
you think the county is safe now."
The colored man laughingly replied:
"Governor, I believe it is. " It was ah
amusing incident and no one enjoyed it
more than Gov. Lee, Capt. E, AI.
Hayes, of the Fifth U. S. cavalry, who
was a bosom friend and companion of
Gov. Lee when the latter was a lieuten
ant in the same regiment before the war,
and who came all the way from the In
dian Territory to be present, was among
the crowd, and when Governor Lee
spied ' him he bailed the captain
with, "Hello . Jcck, how are you
today?" To which Capt. Hayes an
swered, "Very well, Fitz; allow me to
congratulate you," and ja warm and cor
dial grasp of the hand followed. After
the assemblage had dispersed Gov. Lee
proceeded to the gubernatorial office in
the capitol, where the retiring Governor
turned the office over TO him. Ex-Gov.
Cameron remained in the hall during the
; thoiW present. The Nejwark association

Strkator, III., Jan. 1. About two
weeks ago a physician was called upon
to attend the family of ah old German
named August Feldt, members of which
were suffering from strange ' disease.
The doctor asserted that the family had
eaten heartily of pork purchased from .a
butcher in this place, and obtaining
some of it proceeded to examine it with
a microscope, finding unmistakable evi
dence of trichinae. About a week later
one of the ch'ldren, aged ten, died, and
the following day another boy of four-
teen was taeen away. ,lhe mother was
then prostrated, and in a few days she!
too, died. During this time several
doctors were called, but could do noth
ing toward checking the' disease. Oh
Monday last another Imember of thfe
family, a girl of twelve, died, and thie
father now lies in 'a condition hp von d all
hope of recovery. ! Feldt purchased a
quantity of this pork anck had salted it
down. The children had been in the
habit of going to the barrel and eating
tne meat, and oemg rather careless he
permitted them to do so. The house in

C5r. of the News anpObsxrvxb. I'
The article in Wednesday morning's
paper, relative to the Philbarmonic!soi-
ciety, has created considerable specula
tion as to the necessity for raising a con
tingent fund. Why it must be patent
to the most indifferent that such an ori
ganization cannot be carried on without
money. I am confident all who are con
nected with the society must' be cogni
zant of the depleted state of the treai
sury; we have not money enough to
furnish us with the necessary music, to
ay lor an orchestration , the rent of the
all, or costumes, when needed. Now
if we could raise a certain ameunt,
say one thousand dollars, by the con
tribution of ten dollars per year, paid
Beuu-ahnually, by one hundred of the
business men of Raleigh, the society
would grow and nourish to a surprising
degree, and the entertainments given
would net us a sufficient amount to keep
the treasury supplied with the much
needed funds, of which no small amount
is necessary to carry on a musical organic
zation. When we take into consider
tion that the musical . director, pianist
and secretary and treasurer are not paid,'
and that the orchestra give their services,
we have much to be grateful for, as this
is the only musical society of any
note which is so fortunate;;
It is absolutely necessary that such an
amount be raised to carry on the soci
ety,., and I hope Dr.' Kursteiner will
take the names of the citizens who are
willing to subscribe, raise that fund,
deposit it in any bank for our needs,;
and -then the society will be on a firm
basis. If at any time it is deemed ad
visable to discontinue the Philharmonic
of course the money in the . treasury is
to be divided among the .Subscribers.
Take this matter into consideration, Dr
Kursteiner, and make a personal appeal
to the business men of Raleigh, and my
word for it you will meet with gratify
ing results, ' M.

A rigid mother in Bath, Me., has
succeeded in having her daughter's beau!
arrested and arraigned for staying too
late in her house at night. The Datb
Eapers cut the affair short by saying that
e was released on his promiie to leave
town the next day. This will give the
world an exalted idea of the Uath daugh
ters, for had it been' in any other State
the daughter would have left town hern
self the next day; if only to keep her
lover company.
