' i The Republicans seem to be disposed to makewwrreOffng 6Ta stir- because the PoptT lists are putting forward their claims for atf the offices in the Legislature, save the Speak ership of the Ifause. y Th'PpjaJ.,'pali!ers all contain cards from- Populists-candidates for these positions. The Republicans say that the Populists want the long term BeaV- torship. all the offices in the lieaislature, save one. and also a railway commissioner's place. They, therefore, make bold to say that the Populists -are greedy. , There will be many office seekers here after December 31st. .1 .- i !; Some of the straight-out Republicans hint that H. G.

Of course anybody can take stock. I 1 The holiday trade here appears to be quite up to the average. The country people, low as is the price of, cotton, all appear to have money.

The latest development in tiie Ging murder case is the discovery of evidence that leads the author ities to believe for a certainty j that Harry Hay ward is the Western agent of a "green goods'' combination, whose headquarters are in New York, with a principal branch at Chi cago.

Stocks and Botyls in New York Tbe Grain and provision Markets of Chicago. New York, Deci 17. Trading at the Stock Exchange was lifeless to-day, sales aggre. gating only 114,000 shares. Of this. Sugar figured for 41,600 shares,' and Chicago Gas 20,700, but no other stock was traded in to the extent of 8,000. The opening was very irregular, with tendency downward, because of the engagement of 51,750,000 gold for ex port to Europe to-morrow. It was said at one time 12,200,000 gold had been withdrawn from the sub-treasury to day, but officials after the close of business gave the amount at 2,000,000. "Chicago Gas was especially weak and fell to 693. The rumors of reduc tion in the dividend and a big floating debt were again revived and again denied. Bids of per cent, were made for the dividend on small blocks of the stock, and the president of the company was quoted as saying that the concern had not a dollar of floating indebtedness and had a good bal ance in the tank.

Wheat had another break, io-day, the weakness becoming prominent . during the last hour. Prices had considerable to contend with, but they succeeded in maintaining a fair proportion of strength during the early part of the ses sion, finally jrielding to the weight of sell ing; which became more pronounced after the put price was passed, Saturday's sellers of those privileges running from the wheat, wnica was nicely to be "put" to them. The immediate close was steady at a tractiqnai recovery trom the inside. Casn wneat was ami ana easier, trading was light. The nominal close was weaker with the futures. " Oats and wheat were adverse to strength in corn to-day. The shorts, who were so perturbed on Saturday, were complacent sellers to-day, and holders were less confi dent. Cash corn was quiet and unchanged, closing nominally wea&. Cats moved down a trine with other grains. The business was dull and liteless. No feature of jnote developed during the ses sion.

Washington Dec. 1". A delegation rep resenting the1' employes of the Southern Railway company, had a conference in Washington tp-day with the chiefs of the various Railway Trainmen's unions Chief Arthur. of the. locomotive engineers, Chief Wilson of the fremen. Chief Brown of the trainmen, and jChief Clark of the Conduc tors, lhe meeting was the outgrowth of a reduction in aNaries made by the. receivers of the Richmond and Danville railroad com pany, prior to the reorganization under the name of the Southern railroad. Unlike the usual custom ot paving salaries in accord ance with the rates hxed by . the railroad companies, the Richmond and Danville road made an agreement with the employes as to tne wages to to be paid and a tofmai con tract was drawn. When the receivers reduced all salaries, the trainmen accepted the cut. realizing that it was necessary Qi account of the hnancial condition of the road. 1 he re organization, howeyer, caused a demand on their part that ihe contract with the luch- mond and Danville should be kept by a restoration of the old ordT of things, but a repetition of the demand has not been suc cessful, and the conference which began to day was decided on to devise means for dealing with the matter. I iTo-day's session was brief. Absolute se crecy was enjoined on all who participated. and nothing was given out tor publication. Chief Arthur, when questioned by a South ern Associated press reporter, was very reti- cent.but after some pressing he said: "There was nothing whatever done. We merely had a friendly chat over the business which brings us here " This seems to be the status of affairs. I To-morrow morning at 9 o'clock the most important conference will be held and it is exueeted that definite action will be taken. The representatives of the men whose sal aries were reduced are apparently in favor of jgoing to the extreme of a strike. War Between Coal aud Bread Dealers Port Huron, Mich., Dec. 1". A bread and coal war is on in this city, and for poor people it is a "merry war" indeed.

This is to meet a cut made by the others, who last week reduced the price from 5 to 3 cents a loaf, riard coa in stove size is selling at a price uuuearu of in Port Huron heretofore-rrf 3.50 per ton- A short time ago the local dealers tried to raise the price from S5.5Q to ?d.7o per ton One dealer refused to raise and the cut was made to bring him into line. He refuses to be brought to time, however, and it is ex oected that coal will be down to $2 if the . . .... war is not settiea soon, ai noon to aay a Lapeer avenue baker was selling bread for 1 cents a loai. li-- - ' Tbe Mo Quito Indians Controversy Settled. Washington, Dec. 17. The Department of State has received a despatch from Min ister Barker, at Nicaragua, confirming the Upited Press despatch of some days ago that the Mosquito Indians hayo surrendered their rights under the treaty of Managua and have become incorporated with Nicara gua. This surrender, it is understood, dis poses or tbe last vestige ot the claim ot sov ereignty by the Mosquito Indians over the Mosquito reserve, set apart by the Managua treaty of I860 and the award of Austria there under. It also terminates any ground for continued pretext of British "protectorate" over the Mosouitu reservation and greatly simplifies the question of transit across the lstnmus. ; Notice to C. C. & A.

The heroism of Thomas Lloyd, the engineer of the Stevens colliery, at West Pittston, saved the lives of forty -six miners early this morning The engine-house caught fire and: the flames communicated to the fan house, the destruc. tion of which meant death to the forty six miners who were at work in the mine, 500 feet below. Lloyd ran to the telephone and told the foreman at the bottom of the shaft to give the alarm. Notwithstanding the foreman's baste it was more than twenty minutes before allthe men could be gathered tocetner at tne bottom of the shaft prepara tory to being hauled to the surface. In the mean'ime the engine house was completely enveloped by fire Three trips were; neces sary before all the men were brought to the suriaee.
