Miners strike and Riot in Ohio.

Columbus, o, May ga telegram re-
ceived, at the executive department to-day
from large coal operator at Massilon
states that the coal miners employed near
Massilon have been on a strike.
Last night when it was proposed to put
new men at work the miners fired the
trestle work and building and threatened
the lives of the proprietors, outside men
and guards and shot two men. Anticipa-
ting an extensive riot, the governor was
asked to send help as soon as possible.
A telegram was forwarded to Governor
Allen, at his home in Chillicothe, but it is
understood that no troops will be sent until
the sheriff Of Stark county officially asks
for help
A compromise has since been effected,
and the men have resumed work.

Gbe 0inres, Netu BlOorrrlelO, 11a.

% Hon. David B. Mellish, whose death
was reported on Saturday, was a fair illus
tration of the energy and devoted toll by
which so many rise to eminence in this
country, and Of the tendency to overwork
which ruins SO many in the prime of life.
Receiving an ordinary education, he began
life as a journeyman printer, and subse-
quently worked his way up through the
grades of school teacher, proof-reader.
news and stenographic reporter, and local
politician, until he secured good political
position, and finally seat in Congress.
All through life he was an indefatigable
worker, giving of his best to all he under
took. In Congress he labored earnestly,
and latterly attacked with all his powers
the financial problem. This task, pressed
upon brain already overburdened, proved
disastrous. Possessing highly nervous
and delicate organization, his mind gave
way under the severe strain, and he ended
his days in the Government Asylum of
Washington.
GB- A bill recently introduced into the
Senate by Senator Cameron, looking to the
improvement of the navigation of the Sus-
quehanna, will commend itself to general
support. 1t provides for survey of the
Susquehanna river from Chesapeake bay to
the New York state line, and thence
through Seneca lake, across the Erie canal,
to Lake Ontario. The object is to ascertain
the practicability of steamboat navigation
by this route from Lake Ontario to the
Chesapeake, by means of dams, locks and
canals. If such survey demonstrates the
practicability of improving the navigation
of the Susquehanna, so as to make it
available, it will be of great advantage to
this state.
GB- An atrocious shooting case occurred
in Philadelphia on Wednesday. A Ger
man, named Simon August Franks, shot
his wife, discharging his pistol four times,
three balls taking effect. The attack was
unprovoked. The culprt in attempting to
escape fell down an area way and was
captured before he got further. The wo-
man though in a critical condition has
chance to recover.

Liability Of Landlords,

Few people are aware that there is on
the statute books of this state civil dam
age law, under which the friends of persons
injured by the sale Of liquors may recover
damages, The following is the third sec
tton of the act of May 8, 1854:
"Any persons furnishing Intoxicating
drinks to any persons in violation of any
existing law, or Of the provisions of this
act, shall be held civilly responsible for
any injury to person or property in conse-
quence of such furnishing and any one
aggrieved may recover full damages against
such persons so furnishing, by action on
the case, instituted in any court having ju-
risdiction of such form of action in this
state"
A landlord in Blair county was sued re-
Gently for $1,000 damages for selling liquor
to man who soon after fell from horse
and was killed. The defendant settled the
case by paying the claimants 5000.

"Big Gabe" was the only name by
which a notorious colored woman, living
in the filthy, degraded and bastard locality
of Alaska Street was known. Gabrielle,
doubtless, was her proper name for short
she was called "Gabe" and for corporate
capacity the word "big'' was added as a
prefix "Big Gabe" died fow days ago,
and at the time of her death weighed over
600 pounds, old style avordupois
Gabrielle was only 46 years of age at the
time of her death, and / am sorry to say
she was not virtuous she constantly dis
regarded the habeaS corpus act in this, that
when an attempt was made to take her be-
fore a justice, because Of her practicing her
sinful ways, "Gabe" would lie down on
the floor of her house and in answer to the
summons would naively respond ego on
and take me-" AS no policeman ever felt
himself competent to more herculean per-
formance than that of Samson the "body"
of big Gabe was seldom brought before the
Court.

trampled upon him, and then, with a sin
gle thrust of his horns, pierced him to the
heart, causing instant death.

amount majority of the late Legislature
voted each member of that body. They
were in session just one hundred and four

and excluding the vacation Of two weeks
about the first Of April. For the one hun

9th, says, some few months ago, the wife
Of j. B. Miller, of Ludwick, bought from
a pedlar box of corn ointment Being a
sufferer Of these pests, she applied some
Of the salve, and soon her foot began to
inhame and become quite sore. A consid-
cradle portion of her foot is already eaten
away from the effects Of the villainous
ointment, and it was at one time feared,
that to save her life, amputation of that
member would be necessary. AT present,
however, the sores give some sight evidence
of healing, and it is to be hoped will soon
be entirely well. Another warning to those
who purchase from unreliable parties.
