that the train was as safe as any other,

its safety by giving more ballast to the
locomotive, have added passenger car

LETTER FROM OHIO.

NoW CtIuitSNlle, W., cuuo -, IL
DEAR ADvocATE:-I noticed an
item In your paper, concerning the
miners strike in Nelsonville, and vicin-
ity, OF which I have been a witness and
can give you true statement o! the case
Last March the strike commenced, at
which time the last years contract had
not expired but run until May lst at
three and one bali cents per bushel;
the operators wanted to contract with
the miners, and made an offer of two
aud hall cents for six months and three
cents for the remainder Of the year,
commencing April 1st 1874. The
miners wanted three aud three and one
half cents consequently no agreement
could be had and the strike was declared
at Nelsonville, Straitsville, and Shaw
nee, and all came out. The Shawnee
mines running part of the time until
the first of May, when they made con-
tract at 66 cents per ton and have been
doing good work ever since.
Nelsonville is about ten miles from
Straitsvlle and Shawnee about q miles
They have been trying to get settle
ment ever since the strike commenced
but could not agree; ever time the min
ers came TO the terms the operators would
make still lower offer. About two
weeks ago the Nelsonv:lle operators
shipped in two hundred aud fifty negroes
with fifty white men to guard them,
all armed. A week later they shipped
in fifty negroes and fifty guards more.
Some of the negroes have left, about one
hundred and fifty were sent away bya
subscription raised by the people about
the country; they are coming and
going all the time. The miners have
been very civil and decent, considering
the excitement, for the operators have
turned them out Of the company's houses
so that they have been obliged to live in
the woods men women and children,
and great many of them are in a starv.
ing condition, while the negroes are at
work in their places, guarded by
military force. 1 think they are work
ins about three hundred in the vicinity
of Nclsonville; as to Stratsville it is the
closest times l ever saw, for there are
many families here that have very little,
and some have nothing to eat, only as
they can beg it. They are trying to
get settlement by voting work or no
work, and the miners have meeting this
evening to vote whether they will dig
coal at the offer made them, G6 cents per
ten, for one year, which is a ruinously
low price, but if they don't accept it, we
expect to see four hundred negroes,
with militia in the quiet little city Of
New StraitsvIle, which will undoubtedly
cause great excitement which will be
something new to the people as they
have bad nothing but quiet, for some
time, with six or seven hundred coal
cars standing on the track waitingto be
loaded. Yours truly

CoRREorIoN.-It any luckless quill
driver imagines his items are not read,
just let the type make blunder for him
and he will come to a different conclu-
sion. For instance in noticing the
death of Caleb Thompson last week
they said he was can uncle of V. r.
Thompson Of Pine Grove aud brother
in-law of s. p. Allen, now of Glade"
We have been informed 400 times or
less that he was the father of V. r.
Thompson, and several other Thompsons
and father-in-law of s. p. Allen and
consequently grandfather of a good
many Aliens. We hasten to correct.
The fact is we never could keep the run
of the Allen family, or the Smith fam
lily, or the Jones family, or the Brown
family, aud never expect to. We only
wish they may all olive long and pros.
per" so we shall not have their obituaries

HORRIBLE DEATH.-Yestcr after
noon, about quarter past one O'Clock,
a terrible case of death was witnessed
in the large saw mill of G. W. Sands &
Co., on the opposite side of the river in
Armstrong township, this county.
Mr.. Thomas Leland, circular fler on
this mill, was at work on gang edger
of four circular saws, and was sitting on
the feed roller, with foot on each side
OF the saw he was filing, when, without
a seconds warning, the "tightner" slip
ped and threw the saws into motion
saws lhathave eighteen hundred revo
lutions to the minute-and the unfortu.
nate man was Immediately whirled
through the small opening to the eleva-
tor below, corpse niangled SO terribly
that it was with difficulty his fellow
workmen could gather up the several
members in such shape as to make
the body appear like that of human
being. The lett arm was cut off, the
right arm nearly severed from the
body, bowels torn out, the legs almos:
cut off and the top of the head sawed
almost through. In fact there was not
a bone in the body which had not been
cut into by the saws WWiamsport

VERY SAD.-Jamestown was sud
denly thrown into mourning last Satur-
day morning over the tragic death Of
Mrs. R. A. Osmer ana child. 1t ap-
pears that she had been poorly since de-
coration day when she Was injured by
over work. Her friends had for a few
days noticed that she acted a little
strangely and feared her health was
failing. On Saturday morning Mr.
Osmer arose as usual and went to his
barn. Returning soon after, his wife
and little girl aged about 5 years were
missing. He commenced immediate
search and found both in the cistern of
water down cellar already dead. 1t
seems that Mrs Osmer arose soon after
he went out, in her night clothes, and
told her nurse girl who usually dressed
the child that she would dress her that
morning. The girl supposed she was
doing it up stairs till Mr.. Osmer came
in and inquired for them.
Surrounded by every comfort and
happiness of life, it is no doubt another
strangely sad freak of a mind diseased,
"like sweet bells tangled out of tune, "
To end ones own life thus, is shocking.
But to take with her own that of inno-
cent childhood fondly trusting in .
mothers love and protection, almost
surpasses belief Warren Nail.

RoBBERY.-On Monday night, june
22d scoundres broke iuto the store OF
MIR. r. Mossop, in this place, for the
purpose of robbery. The thieves
affected an entrance from the rear of
the building, by boring through three
doors and then showing back the bolts.
Upon reaching the store room they broke
open two alarm money drawers, but
their only reward was, prehaps, a few
dollars in nickle coin. Some tobacco
and several pairs of shoes were found in
the rear of the building, on Tuesday
morning, indicating that they carried off
some goods, but no great quantity, so
far as could be discovered on causal
examination. We hope the thieves
may be discovered and punished for
their crime. In this connection we may
mention that two attempts have recently
been made to get into another establish
ment in this place, but the thieves we're
deferred from doing SO by arousing
some Of the inmates. Our merchants
should take some precautionary measures
to prevent such raids upon their prem

It's EFF ECT.-The stock market 10
New York city is where the first effect
of a new financial measure is felt. The
buoyancy caused by the new financial
measure of Congress, promises we'll for
the future business of the country. We
quote from the N. Y. papers as to its
effect. The Times of June 22d says:
This has been a day of considerable
excitement and activity in the Stock
market, and in very marked contrast to
the heavy and uncertain days that were
witnessed here during the past mouth.
Early in the day the information reached
the Street that the President had signed
the Currency bill, and the result was
buoyancy and strength in every class OF
investment such as has not been known
in many weeks.
The Tribune has this:
The main topic of interest in Wall-st,
yesterday was the signing Of the Finance
bill by the President. The announce
came soon alter tie opening of business
aud caused great buoyancy in the stock
market while different theories prevailed
as to the ultimate effect. The Presi.
dents action was not unexpected, as the
friJune's Washington kilograms had an
nouuced what his decision would be.
In the general gossip on the effect of the
bill, all sorts of opinions and theories
we're advanced. Many seemed to thiuk
that the bill meant expansion. Others
thought that the main feature was con-
traction, inasmuch as the banks. were
compelled to keep reserve of FIVE per
cent. in legal tenders in order to redeem
their circulation. By far the most
satisfactory provision was that which
fixed a specific limits to the circulation,
The general idea seemed to be that the
fluctuations in the volume of the cur
rency have been one of the greatest
evils in the present monetary system,
and that the clause fixing the circulation
at 1882, 100000 would at least enable
merchants and traders generally to cal
culate on fixed basis for the immediate
future.

The PRECIOUS MErALs.-The pro-
duction of'precious metals by the Pacific
Slope reached during the last quarter
of a century 1883, ,644,934, of which
California mines produced -fourths,
nearly all OF which latter was in gold.
The amount obtained is now increasing
yearly, partly from the opening of new
mines, but chiefly from the introduction
of improved methods of extracting the
precious metals from the ores. The
yield of the Pacific Slope last year was
