A Resolution, Reported From Committee, Passes the House, Congressman Baoon, of New York, Chari- | man of the House Cornmittee~on Manufac- i tures, a few days since reported from committee the following resolution to investigate j be snbject of tho so-called "trusts'' which ; ? -1" I^H/? fAfma 1 in thu Vnpinild in;1no. ! tUUUttJljr UOlUjj ivi IHV4 *? vuv .v?w .mv.,.w j tries of tho country: i " Whereas, It is alleged that certain in- ! dividuals ami corporations in the lTnited States engaged in manufacturing, mining or dealing in some of the necessaries of life have , combined for the purpose of controlling or ' curtailing the production or supply of the fiame, ani thereby increasing their price to the people of the country, which combina- i tion8 are known as associations, trusts, pools and like names, but are not ineorjwated tinder the laws of any State; and " Wherras, Such combinations not only injuriously affect commerce between the States, but impair the revenues of the United States as derived from its duties on imparts; there- i fore, Hesolced, That the Committee on Mann- ! facturcs be and the same is hereby directed to j inquire into the names and number and ex- j tent of such alleged combinations, under whatever name known, their methods of , combining or doing business, their | cffect upon the prices of any of tho necessaries or me vo me m the country, upoD its internal or foreign commerce, and its revenues from import duties, together with any and all other matters relating to the same which may call for or suggest legislation by Congress, and to report tbo same to the House, with such i recommendations as the said committee ' may agree upon; and for these purposes the Committee on Manufactures is authorized to sit during the sessions of the House, to employ a stenographer, to administer oaths, examine witness?*, compel the attendance of persons and the production of paper.-;; and the expanse of such investigation sh>dl bo paid out of the contingent fund of the House. The resolution was read and provoked a | spirited debate, during which a number of amendments were offered increasing ; the scope of the investigation and tak- j ing in such trusts as are inoorpor- I a ted under State laws, as well as under Fed 1 TL. 1...:? ? ? I CTckl. 1 LIU Il^uiuuuu yyno uibu t* ? few amendments. To a correspondent Representative Bacon 6aid: "I am heartily in favor of investigating j these so-called 'trusts' aud 6ifting the matter | to the very bottom. They are springing up around us like mushrooms. Every Say we hear of a new 'trust.' The 8tandard Oil Trust, the Sugar Trust, the Salt Trust, tho Coal Trust and a doien others. What are they and what do they ! seek* They are pro lu era and manufacturers who have bandid themselves together in i great monopolies to control trade and stifle competition. Th >y sav to the small pro iu.w: _ Come in with us and you can live; stay outside and we will crush you. And if the producer joins them they tell him. You shal -^1 fAi> or* mnoK nnrl rnnr mit.nnf. dcii ruui j shall be no more than we desire you to maks it. The effect of all this upon the trad} of the oountry is terribly demoralzing, and Congress must leave nothing undone to relieve the people. "In my mind there is for the first time in my life a doubt of our ability to grapple with this question under the provi ions of the Constitution. An effort was made to break up the sugar trust in Louisiana. The parties comprising the trust at once declared that they did not reside within the limit of the State, and the courts found themselves helpless. The Attorney-Ueneral of INew York State attempted to bring som3 of th ^se people to justice. They at once asserted that they exercised no corporate functions an 1 nothing more could be done. Congress now has au excellent opportunity to test the ques i * tion fully."

Mr. O'Brien thereupon jumped o!f his car and ' ' asked the Inspector if he was a tree man. ] The Inspector replied in the affirmative. ! Then, said Mr. O'Brien, "the people have a perfectly lt'gal right to approach me, and I if you provoke a disturbance, on your head will re-it the consequences." The j Inspector thereupon drew o!t his m-n and i Mr. O'Brien proceeded on hi9 journey amid i tremendous cheers.

Miners Die By Firedamp?Starvation in a Lifeboat, A frightfully fatal explosion has occurred in No. 5 pit of the Wellington collieries, Victoria, British Columbia, by which upward of fifty lives were lost. An eye witness states that he was about one hundred yards from the pit when he heard a report like that of a largo cannon, and there instantly shot far into the air adense mass of black smoke and dust, which eonverted the snow-covered ground into an inky deposit When this subsided a portion of the fan house had been destroyed, as well as the wood work in the shaft. Manager Bryden immediately proceeded to repairing the fan house, which was qui( kly accomplished. and the fan started ag tin. The shaft timbers were destroyed so that cages could not be used, but pulleys and ropes were immediately prepared for the work of rescue. The first man to come out of the pit had climbed by means of the cage wire cable through the Khnf.terwl tlrnhprs to within one hundred feet of the top. A rope was then lowered to him, and he reached the surface in an exhausted condition. A second miner was also enabled to get out by this perilous method, but a third, when fifty feet from the top, loosed his hold, and fell to certain death at the bottom of the shaft. Two men were then lowered as a se.irch party, and they returned, stating that nothing could be heard but calls from below. Fortunately the mine had not fired, so danger from this source was averted. A temporary case was made and lowered to a considerable depth, the miners climbing to it by means of ladders, so that at I o'clock 10 J of the UK) men in the mine had been rescued. One white innn, Robert Williams, the un fortunate who fell, was taken out dead. The explosion took place In tha list level, and in this twenty-five white miners mid a number of Chinese were imprisoned. Fears that they were all killed were verified later, for at five o'clock all the white men were carried to the surface dead, an l tha work of taking out the Chinese was begun. Ten Days I? an Open Boat. Among the passengors who arrive! in New York on the steamship Snn Marcos from Havana were seven of the crew of the bark D. Chapin, of Boston, which had foundered at sea a few days since. The survivors were adrift in a boit about ten davs without food or water. Captain W. C. Hull, the cook and a seaman perished from hunger and privation, and the rest got so desperate that they were tempted to turn cannibals. Ira W. Colbeth, the mate, told the story of their distress The bark left Turk's Island on December 13th for Boston, with a cargo of salt. In the Christmas Day gale a giant wave stove in her waist all of a sudden and 6ent the men to the boat. The ten men rowed about for three days, havinz almost constantly to bail out, and on tbe night of the third dny saw a steamer pass bo near that the masts w\ re visible. After the steamer was out of sight Captain Hall became delirious, and the next morning he died. He was at once buried. On December .31 John Anderson, the Japanese steward, died, and on New Year's Day Hans Peter Peterson died. New Year's afternoon it began to rain, and in an old rubber coat and a tin can about three quarts of rain water were caught The mate divided the water equally among tbe starving men, but none conld be kept, as the can leaked. On the eighth day, the mate says, all were very hunery, and had terrible cramps in the stomach. On tho nintk day there was a heavy wind from the east, and the oars were stuck up ns sails. Fair progress was made, but no vessel was sighted. Early the next morning, however, the schooner Louis G. Rabel.from Boston for Bagua, came in sight and soon after picked up the almost exhausted men, who had to be hauled up the side with ropea Mate Jasper, who first saw tbo boat, was an old schoolmate of Mate Colb th's in Machiaa port, ftie. mo Brnooaer tanuwi me seven men at Sagna. whence they were forwarded to Havana.

Masked Men Raid a Bank at Limestone* I. T. One Robber Shot, Another Hanged and Two Jailed, About eleven o'clock Saturday, at Limestone, Indian Territory, four masked m-n, all heaviiy armed, rode up to the door of the Citizens' Bank and dismounted. The leader entered the bank, and Dresentine a nistol at the head of the cashier, W. T. Reynolds, demanded that he turn over tbe cash on hand. While pretending to comply Reynolds slammed the door of the safe to and turn-id the lock. He was at once laid out by a bullet from the pistol of one of the desperadoes, which struck him above the heart, killing him instantly. The bank was then ransacked and all the money in tbe cash drawer, some was taken. An attempt was made to open the safe, but in this the robbers were foiled. As the 80undof the pistol shot was heard several people earner running owardtho bank to ascertain the cause of the trou da. They were fire I upon by thive of the men who were on guard and retreated to get arms. In a few moments the town was aroused and twenty or thirty armed men hurried toward the bank. The robbers were justroounting their horses and a hot fire started, in which one of the robbers, Thomas Evan, was killed outright, bei^g shot several times in the head ana body. He was identified as a ranchman, living near town. In the melee four citizens were wounded, but not fataily, two receiving shots through the anns and two others being slightly wounded in the lower extremities. The three surviving robbers then rode away with the booty captured. An examination of the bank dis.overed the. body of the dead cashier, and a posse of pursues was soon upon the trail of the flying outlaws, who were riding rapidly in the direction of Atoka. After about an hour's hard pursuit they wero ?. ?mm/1 fnlrun Ko/?lf bUI I UlUJUCa, uuptuiuu Mia'.LA LSLftvn. *,v# Limestone, where Judge Lynch was called on to hold court. The three men were tried.

The other two were placed in charge of a strong gu-ird and started for Fort Washita, where tbey were turned over to the United States authorities. The stolen money w is recovered. The robbers were all citizens and cattlt ranchers of the uear neighborhood, and this is not the first time that crime baa been traced to their doore. A brother of Evan was found stealing cattle la?t spring aud | hanged by the vigilantes, while another brother is now awaiting: trial for highway robbery in the Cherokee Nation in February, 1887, and is in jail at Fort Smith, Ark. A BOY HANGED, - "V nM VrtntJi'o n?n. All HH^Uiccirxcarviu w tal Crime in Massachusetts. James E. Nowlin, the eighteen-year-old murderer of Milkman Codman, of 8omer ville, Mass., was hanged at 9:23 Friday morning, in the East Cambridge jaiL He went to his death wirh the same I firmness that marked his bearing during I the trial and since he has known ihat he was j to hang for his crime. He parted with his ! - ' - 1 ~l * ' mouner ac a law nuur, ?mu muiiv nuu> midnight to 5 o'clock Friday morning soundly. " He then dressed himsslf, ate a hearty breakfast; and prayed with the minister who came to see him. He expressed repentance for his horrible crime,and said that he felt that he had been forgiven. At 'J o'clock he passed by the scaffold on the way to another part of the jail,and examined | the structure with a critical eye, but without any sign of a tremor. At 9.15 o'clock the march to the gallows ' was taken up. Nowlin stepped up tirmly ; and took Ins place on the drop. He was pinione I securely, an'l nsked if he had anything to say. Looking the Sheriff full in the face, Nowlin, in a clear though low tone, said: "Nothing, only that I am abont square, and re idy to die. I feel that God has forgiven me, anil I feel thankful to you for what vou have done.*1 and his voioe broke slightiy at the finish an i he bowed his bead. I The noose was adjubfcad, the blaok cap pulled down, and in an instant I Nowlin's body shot through the trap. It swayed a little, but only one movement was I made by the criminal. Nowlin drew up his [ legs once, then all was over. In twenty-five i minutes the body was cut down and taken to j Somerville. It was ascertained by the physicians that, altough death was not instantaneous, Nowlin was rendered unconscious by tho fall. James E.

He con fosse 1 the crime, telling how he killed his emp'oyer by a blow of an axe and then carried the dismembered parts in a sieigh to Lexington. He was but seventeen years of age when he committed the crirtie. Only one murderer as young as Nowlin has been hanged in Massachusetts.

JflB Touching the nutritious value of v?rlou8 foods variously cooked, it may be well just now to point out that one pound of rice, prepared for the tabl^ gives eighty-eight percent. of nutriment {DB and, consequently, a relatively propor- Hfl tional ability to hibor compared with ifflj other articles of food. A pound of beef 9B contains only twenty-live per cent of nutriment; yet countless numbers strain Hi a point daily to purchase beef, when In they could get a pound of rice for Bg| one-third of the amount; the rice, jSj moreover, huviug three times as much BH nutriment as the pound of beef, making M a practical difference of 800 per cent. There is, also, the additional fact to be H| considered that boiled rice is digested H| in about an hoar, roast beef, on the contrary, requiring three hours and a half. |fl There is meaning, after all, in the fact B0 that two-fifths of the himan family live HE on r cc.

Jwaturo has so bountifully supplied this country with animal food, that our people appear to have come to the conclusion that it is an essential duty on their part to mako daily consumption of largo quantities of it. While some animal fooa is needful, it is a great mistake to suppose that it i> required thiec times a day, or really oftener than once every twenty-four hours. European labo re re rarely get meat more than once or twice a week, and vet they are as a general thing robust and strong, and capable of enduring hardships under which our great meat caters would surely sink. A writer sjivs: "The heavy work of the world is not done by men who eat meat The Russian soldiers, who built such wondcrfcl roads and carried a weight of armor and luggage that would crush the average farm-hand, lived on coarse brown bread and sou wine. They were temperate in diet and regular in exercise. The Spanish peasant works aH day and dances naif the night, and yet earns only his black breaa, onion and watermelon.

Window Plants in Wiater. Window plants, Bays a Detroit Fret Pr. M correspondent, 6hould not be kqp* very warm at this seasen. They should have all the sun and air and as little of the artificial heat of the room as possible. These remarks apply especially to mignonette, which is very impatient of iudoor confinement. Succulents, such as < acti, are excellent window plants in this respect, as the dry air does not affect them. To keep the air about the plants moist is one of the secrets of winter culture. Some who have very fine windows well stocked with fine plants AA< rtn mifVt /^AATfl fA IlldliC ^Ut?CU WCO VTHU ivtuiug uvvig w them, by which, when the room is highly heated and very dry, they can be inclosed in an atmosphere of their own. Ic such cases ferns and mosses can be grown to perfection. Hanging baskets, on the other hand, are generally too dry. Beside the daily waterings, about once a week they should be immersed- in a bucket of water. Plants stored away for the winter in cold pks require more care for the first month or so than at any other time through the winter season. Many of tbem have unripened shoots, or shed many of their leaves, and unless they be cut off and removed, gangrene and decay commit distressing havoc. Air should be given at every opportunity, and nothing omitted that will, in any way, tend to harden the plants, iiUU fcSCLRl vcguiauuu IV 1UOH _ No more water should be given thaa just sufficient to prevent withering, and the temperature should be kept as near forty decrees as po-sible, and ever/ chance taken to render the air about the plants dry. When frost actually does come, no further care than protection from its embraces will then be required. Plants so hardened may stay covered up for weeks, without any light or air, and seoure from the slightest injury. Rcclpea.
