WORKING UP A STIUKE—A MINE CAVES
IN.
HiniNgiiam, November 27.—[Special.]
The miners’ committee met today to con
fer with the mine operators. The latter
failed to meet them and the committee
decided, in view of the fact that their de
mands for higher wages for mining had
been refused, to order a strike to take
effect Monday. At that time 9,000 miners
will go out,causing twenty-three furnaces,
all the coke ovens and the mines to close.
William Scaife, of Illinois, claiming to
represent the National Miners’ Union ex
ecutive committee, worked up the trouble
by having the miners demand 5 cents ad
vance.
At Coalburg, Ala., a part of the mine
caved in, burying A. M. Reed alive and
wounding Albert Ross. Reed was dug out
in live hours, hut had been crushed to
death.
AN APPEAR TO IRISHMEN.
London, November 27.—Davitt will
publish tomorrow an appeal to the Irisn
race at home and abroad. He implores
the people to rise and show themselves
equal to the present emergency, and says
if Parnell remains at the head of the parly
there can be no hope of saving the cause
of Ireland. The Irish party, he says, con
tains more than one man who is capable
of leading it to victory, and there is suffi
cient patriotism in the party to follow a
leader chosen from its own ranks by a
majority of its members. In conclusion
he says whatever decision maybe made
the Irish cause is imperishable, and he
asks the people to pray God that wisdom
and courage may guide those upon whom
Ireland’s hopes are centered.

New York, November 27.—Detective
Adams returned from Boston today and
reported to Superintendent Byrnes the

Adams had verified certain facts, which
made it clear to him that much of the
information published in reference to the

a i issue of falsehoods. “The young man

Cluriie McClirisly, the supposed Charlie

accorded him are false. He never made

the case and that the person who gave out
the story lied.”
ACTION OF THE PEOPLE OF HARRIS
COUNTY.
Hamilton. Ga., November 27.—The
people of Harris county have learned with
great regret of the death of Judge James
M. .Smith. He was uot only admired, but
loved in our county. While we do not
wish to seem premature in the matter of
tHe election of his successor as Judge of
the Chattahoochee circuit, still it has to be
done, and ve only desire to have his place
filled for the unexpired term by a man who
would give satisfaction and sustain the
high position that the Chattahoochee Cir
cuit. under Judge Smith’s administration,
had reached in the judiciary of the State.
And we would present for the considera
tion of the readers of your paper and mem
bers of the present General Assembly the
name of our eountyman, Hon. James M.
Mobley, as a suitable and fit, person to
wear the ermine as Judge Smith’s succes
sor. This suggestion is made with
out any consultation with Col. Mobley,
hut we people in Harris feel that we are
entitled to something. We have always
been faithful in time of war and peace:
have never had a judge, a Governor, a
member of Congress, a solicitor-general, or
any oilier office in the gift of the people or
appointing power outside of our own
county. It is not because we have not got
the men. and have not had them, capable
of filling these different positions, but we
attribute it to extreme modesty. Other
counties have put out their men and
pressed tlieir claims, a right which we con
cede them, while Harris county has stood
still and asked for nothing, thinking that
her neighbors would reward her soon. But
we now* feel that silence is not always best;
therefore, we ask the Legislature to honor
our county, the circuit, the State and
themselves by electing James M. Mobley
Judge of the Chattahoochee Circuit to fill
the unexpired term of James M. Smith.

Mili.kdgevii.i.e, Ga., November 27.—
[Special.]—Not in all the history of this
historical city, from the moment that the
legislative committee pitched their tent at
Jarrett Springs and amid drinking and
revelry selected a great forest as the spot,
for a future prosperous city, up to the
present day, lias there be n an event that
compared to the corner-stone ceremonies
today. Of all that lias occurred in the
past to give this city political history, amt
of the great days when it was the
seat of government and the cradle of revo
lution, nothing has brought together such
a surging mass of humanity, representing
the business, politics, religion and society
of the great empire State, as this day has
brought to witness tiie beginning of legis
lative aid in behalf of the girls of Georgia.
THE THOUSANDS PRESENT.
An accurate estimate of the crowd is
almost impossible, but good judges put
the figures all the way from 12,000 to
20,000.
THE GRAND PARADE.
Promptly at 11:30 o'clock this morning
the great parade was formed on Greene
street, opposite the Middle Georgia Mili
tary and Agricultural College. The pro
cession was hea led by a squad of mounted
police, followed by the Milledgeville band.
Then the Baldwin Blues, with the battal
ion colors; Company A and Company B,
of ihc Middle Georgia Cadets, about ninety
strong; the duliignou Volunteers, tiie
Middle Georgia Artillery, with two can
non: the Macon Volunteers, who arrived
on the 11 o'clock train: the Putnam
Rifles, Asylum band, II011. \V. Y. Atkinson
and wife, together with Governor Nor
thern, in a huge decorated car, made for
the occasion, drawn by four spanking
thoroughbreds. Then came the members
of the Legislature, about 200 strong, dis
tinguished educators ot the South, headed
by President Peel, of the Mississippi Girls'
Industrial school, the directors of the
Georgia Industrial College, the board 01
trustees and faculty of the Middle
Georgia Military and Agricultural
College, the county officials, mem
bers of the press, clergy, citizens,
band and Masons. The parade was one of
the grandest pageants ever witnessed in
Georgia, and would have been an honor to
any occasion in a city five times as large as
this. The head of the procession halted
on the west side of the building, and the
Governor, with Mr. and Mrs. W. Y.At
kinson, the Legislature, Masonic officers, !
headed by Hon. John S. Davidson, and
other distinguished guests, were escorted
to the great scaffold, where the ceremonies
were begun with a beautiful address by
Hon. Bob Whitfield.
EXERCISES OF THE DAY.
Col. Whitfield, eloquent and happy
always, was at his best. Major J. Colton
Syncs, president of the Middle Georgia
College, was master of ceremonies. Hon.
John S. Davidson, Grand Master of the
Masonic fraternity of Georgia, was then
introduced and he began conducting the
ceremonies of laying the corner-stone.
With impressive and solemn form, the
stone was laid to its resting place. The
stone having been laid. Mr. Davidson
delivered his address. He was followed
by Gov. Northern who made a speech that
kept the crowd firmly in the grip of his
powerful eloquence. Gov. Northen was
followed by Miss Julia Flisch of Augusta,
who read a m st brilliant and touching
paper on the lessons of the day's ceremo
nies. Several letters were read from Con
gressmen and distinguished statesmen.
THE BARBECUE.
Then came the dinner, one of the finest
spreads ever seen in the country. The
tables were a little over 2000 feet long, and
covered from end to end with viands and
dainties of the choicest and best kinds.
There were more than 100 carcasses, rep
resenting 10.000 pounds of barbecue, that
steamed and fried over the huge pits
throughout last nigl.t. To this was
added a thousand delicacies, sent in and
prepared by the hands of the ladies of this
city, who never left their labors until every
visitor exclaimed “enough.''
THE TROOPS REVIEWED.
After the great crowds had left the
tables the Governor's review of the college
cadets was witnessed. Lieutenant Colonel
J. Colton Lynes was in command of the
companies.
AFTER DINNER SPEECHES.
But the best part of the day’s program
were the after-dinner speeches by several
of the distinguished guests. The first of
these was made by Hon. VV. Y. Atkinson,
complimentary of the splendid educational
advantages of Milledgeville, and pledging
support to every educational institute in
1 he State that had for its aim the. eleva
tion of tiie moral and intellectual charac
ter of tha boys and girlrq
Hon. ( 'lark Howell was then introduced
and he caught tiie crowd in an instant,
lie spoke in the highest terms of Millidge-
ville’s work for the great movement begun
by the State, and pledged support to every
measure in behalf of the schools of the
state.
President Mitchell of the Senate, and
Hon. R. II. Jackson. ex-I’resident of the
Alliance, spoke in tiie same strain urging
higher education for all.
Then came Hon. Patrick Walsh, in a
powerful address of wisdom and logic in
behalf of the schools of the State, and es
pecially of the Girls' Industrial and Nor
mal School. These speeches, in behalf of
the girls and hoys of Georgia, who are the
hope of the future, closed the exercises of
the day, and ended what was termed by
many distinguished visitors the
GRANDEST DAY IN HER HISTORY.

filed.
Brooklyn, November 27.—A terrible
accident occurred on the foot hall grounds
at Eastern Park, in this city, a few min
utes after 12 o'clock and before the Yale-
Princeion game began. The big free
stand on the eastern side of the grounds,
furthest from the grand stand, suddenly
collapsed, carrying down with it the entire
load of human beings. The crash came
without any warning whatever, and
at the time the long rows
of bleachers were closely packed
with spectators. It is estinuted that there
were more than 2000 people on the struc
ture at the time. A scene of indescribable
confusion and panic followed the crash,
which was heard iu all parts of the
grounds. The occupants were mostly
men, a great majority of them students
from Y ale and Princeton. There were
also many women in the crowd. They ail
lay in a confused and struggling mass upon
tiie ground, many of them completely
buried under the wreckage of the planks
and joists of which the structure was
built. The screams and shrieks and
groans which came from the unfortunates
were heart rending to hear. Many tainted
from the injuries they had received. In
an instant there was a general rush for
that part ot the field, and a score or more
policemen were soon engaged in pulling
tin maimed and wounded from the wreck.
Others lent their assistance, and within
ten minutes the whole place had been
cleaned. At first it was feared that some
might have been killed, hut this tear
proved unfounded. A great many per
sons, however, were very se
riously hurt, and broken limbs
and bruised heads and bodies were numer
ous. Many friends of the wounded people
had them carried at once out of the
grounds and placed in hacks, which took
them away before tlieir names could he
learned. In this way a great many cases
were not reported to the police. Tiie big
dressing room under the grand stand was
turned into a hospital and surgeons from
the Brooklyn hospital had tlieir hands
full with patients. Among those who
were treated on the grounds and after
wards taken away, were: Charles Wil
son, of Brooklyn, ankle dislocated:
Cadet John Aquillar and I’erin Dalney,
of the Military Institute, Peekskill: two
young lads, backs badly sprained and
bruised; Emory B. Remington, of Brook
lyn, (Princeton '93), leg broken: a Yale
man, name not learned, suffering from
concussion of the spine; two Rutger's col
lege students, heads bruised and cut: John
Monroe, Princeton, broken ankle: George
E. Wvlle, Hotel Normandie, thigh broken:
James MeGlone, of Brooklyn, internal in
juries: F. S. Keeler, (Columbia '91), broken
wrist: A. John Wild, a Yale student, in
jured internally and taken out unconscious;
S. P. Pear, a Yale student, arm broken:
John Caruthers, a Wesleyan student, badly
cut on the head: Eldridge (Princeton "94),
both legs badly bruised: Curley, another
“94” Princeton student, knocked uncon
scious, the case deemed very serious: Leon
ard, a resident on Fifth avenue, New
Y’ork, right leg broken: Ed W. Morgan, a
Yale student, leg broken: McKean, a
Princeton theological student, compound
fracture of the left leg; Bradley, a '92
Princeton student, both legs badly hurt:
A. Weil, 320 East 113th street, New Y’ork.
fracture of the collar bone; C. Turner, of
Troy, leg hurt; II. YY’. Wuller. of Bayonne.
X. J., scalp wound; George A. Johnson.
Hotel Normandie, concussion of the spine.
A lot of boys, a dozen or more, names
unknown, who stood on the top row of the
bleachers were badly bruised and cut. The
only ladies who were hurt were two Brook
lyn women, one of whom had her foot
crushed and the other her leg bruised.
They were first taken to the manager's
office near the main entrance and were
afterwards taken from the grounds by tlieir
friends.
Some of those who were, buried beneath
the wreckage, and who were taken out
unconscious afterwards, recovered and
declined to be treated They went on the
field again and found other places to view
the game. The lowest estimate puts the
number of people injured at fif.y, while
others place it as high as sixty or more.
The stand was evidently in an unsafe con
dition, for the broken timbers showed
many of them were nearly rottened in
two, whiie the whole structure was
of the most flimsy affair
j imaginable. Wln-n it began to fid up with
spectators the joists were heard to crack
j and strain, and many who started to find
I seats gave it up as a dangerous job. Sev
eral persons seated themselves near the
entrance of the stand before the accident
occurred and warned people not to go up,
as it was unsafe. It was reported that bets
were made quite freely of five to one that
the stand would go down before the game
was over. The grea est indignation pre-
j vailed among the people on the grounds
I against the management of Eastern Park.
! and the blame was all put upon these offi
cers. Every one asserted than an exarni-
j nation of the structure would have shown
that it was utterly insufficient to support
; the crowd which would occupy it.

London, November 27. — Lord Sneneer,
in a speech at Bromley this evening, said
that the opinion of the Liberals of England
was clearly and tiiiniLtak ibly against Par

value upon the character of public men.

London. November 27. Parnell had
frequent conversations with Healy during
the day, but the latter is very reticent and
refuses to say anything about the Irish
leader's intentions. Parnell appears to be
ill buoyant spirits ami splendid health. A
noticeable incident occurred in tlie- Hou«e

his vote on Labauclieres amendment. In
going from his seat Parnell had to pass
the Liberal benches, and it was remarked
that his late allies studiously ignored him.
It is stated that if Parnell remains in the

was that it m e, in some degree, Parnell’s j
views. Parnell had suggested that the i

In regard to the increasing powers
of tiie local authorities. Balfour said he
considered that the original proposals
therefor in the hill w tv the best that
could he devised. Land purchase in Ire
land was not a local qtieition at ail. The

question in Ireland was largely
used for political objects. it
would be absurd. Therefore, to leave to
communities under the incitement of agi
tators, to determine wlmcher i hoy should
adopt the remedy, was going to the root
of agrarian discontent. [Parneliife laugh

any form, it ought to be by a plebiscite of
the vote payers, enabling them, under the
safeguard of the ballot, to vote upon the
question of granting a contingent portion
of the guarantee fund for each county.
Labouchere moved an amendment
against ploding the imperial credit for the
purchase of land until the country should
have given its consent at a general elec-
tion. Labouchere’s amendment was re

STAND RY PARNELL.
Dublin*. November 27.—The Evening
Telegraph asks why Parnell, elected unan
imously to tiie Irish leadership twenty- '
four hours before, should have voluntarily
effaced himself by retiring, ft continues:
“If the Irish party, on Gladstone’s de
mand. wished to recant, Parnell’s right, to
demand a solemn vote of want of confi
dence, in which every member must take
part, each member assuming respon
sibility for his vote before
the Irish people, must be conceded.
The business is too gigantic and momen
tous to permit of the acceptance of a
clandestine adjustment as a final settle
ment. Whatever is done must be declared
openly in the presence of the nation.
The Irish race, everywhere, must know
how each member of the party elected to
support, and not to depose him, deals
with him. When a conclave of the Irish
party shall have decided tiie issue, the
Irish nation will demand the right to he
