CHEEsE.-The market is not yet estab-
lished, and prices during the past week
have been merely nominal. But few
lots OF new have been sent forward on
commission. Fine old cheese holds its
own, and is worth IA to Is cents. The
tendency of the market for new seems to
be rather downward; yet, when the mar
ket fairly opens we shall not expect to see
fine cheese go much if any below the
present New York quotation. Buyers
are beginning business very cautiously.
The receipts in New York for the week
ending, Saturday, were 1896 boxes, and
the shipments 1869 boxes, with the cable
still at Cos, and gold closing at III Ia
The highest quotation is IA cents The
receipts for the corresponding week last
year were 1914 boxes, and the shipments
1859 boxes. The cable was then 74s. the
highest New York quotation was II cts.
and gold closed at lis. Much of the
cheese exported is on the owners ac'
count.
The Producers Price Current, of the
the 9th, says: "The shippers are unwill'
| ing to forward new cheese to England at
present unless merely as sample lots. 1t
must be remembered that the liberal
stock of old 80 recently on our market is
not yet consumed; it is still in the path
of new and must be used before shippers
Will be willing to forward again. This
will give factory men an ample opportun'
ity to get their cheese we'll cured. They
will, no doubt, get nervous over their
early hay cheese as grass is so forward
this season, but, if they have to sell low
in the beginning, this will favor large
consumption and may carry them out
all right at the other end. Certain it is
that we have not seen the trade in this
city so conservative about prices as it
now is for some years past. Offers to sell
factories with all the cream in at Is cents,
deliverable next week, have been rejected
by shippers. Their ideas are not above
10 cents, but they have no desire to buy
at any price. 1t will require all this
month to free the English markets of old
stock"
The New York Produce Price Current
of the 9Th says: 'The reports of fine new
yellow butter are much larger than an
ticipated, and it is difficult to close out as
fast as it comes in, even at the steadily
declining prices. There are large lots of
poor white butter on hand, for which
there is no market; also, a good deal of
of fair quality, which sells very slow, as
no one asants anything bit that Of prime
quality, yelloao and hard"

members of the House of Representatives
when the onslaught on slavery first begun
to assume formidable proportions in Con
gress, Joshua R. Giddings of Ohio and
John Snyder Of Pennsylvania, the latte,
pro-slavery democrat, and the former an
abolition leader, who occupied one of the
double desks then in use. During the alb

desk designed to satirizs the alleged dis.
union schemes Of his neighbor Giddings
was surprised on his return, but was toe
fond of practical joke to be outwitted
He had two slips printed in large type,
containing the well known couplet:
"Great wit to madress nearly is allied.
And thin partitions do their bounds divide. -
These he posted on each side of the
the partition. The laugh was now against
Snyder. and the PARTON was promptly
removed.

A STRANGE MIsHAP.-About 3 O'Clock
on Monday afternoon, May 1st, the large
ice house of the Whitehall Mutual Bene
tit Ice Company, situated on the bank o.
East Creek, containing twenty. Fl We hun
dred tons of ice, was precipitated into the
water by the sliding of the earth fol-
twenty feet back, the ice remaining on TOP
in one solid mass, and lies out in the
stream about thirty feet. Five hundred
tons of ice which had been placed in
front of the hous', away from the creek,
remains on the bank and is bein rapidly
stored iu other houses. 1t is thought that
about two-thirds of the ice carried into
the river will be secured. The affair has
created great deal of excitement, and
hundreds have gathered on the shore to
see the strange sight. The house was
well constructed, and with a good foun-
dation so far as could be determined.
The total loss will be in the neighbor-
hood of thousand dollars.

The Coal Contest.
ANOTHER OUTBREAK.

SCRANTON, May 9.
A riot occurred to-day at Hyde Park.
The laborers and miners who desired to
resume work were holding meeting
near Hampton, when they were assaulted
with stones by the wives of miners who
resist the resumption. A crowd OF these
miners were little way off urging on
the women, believing that the laborers
would not return the assault on females.
The laberers then moved further off to-
wards strip of woods, but were followed
up by the miners whom, in the meantime,
had been greatly reinforced. The men
and women then unitedly assaulted the
laborers, and stones were freely used on
both sides. A woman named Smith was
seriously wounded in the head by a stone,
and as the ARRAY increased in violence
pistols were drawn and fired. A man
named William Cove, one of the assault
ing party, was seriously wounded in the
thigh. Another named Mcdonald was
shot in the head, and about ten or twelve
others were most brutally beaten, some OF
whom will probably die.
The military was ordered to the scene
of disturbance, but were too late to do
any good. This riot is generally admit
ted to have been only one of the results of
the Workingmen's Benevolent ASCOT
alton demonstration on Monday when the
miners were infamed by appeals to their
passions by Kearly, president of the gen.
ersl council. Great excitement has pre-
vailed here to-day. During the day a
mob of several hundred voters visited the
works of Morris 81 Weeks, and drove out
the men at work there. What the end
will be no one can tell. A large body of
troops will arrive tomorrow, but as most
of them will be from the coal regions, not
much confidence is felt.
