THE MINERS STRIKE
TROUBLE.
Reign efTerror AT the Mines

HAZLEToN, PA, April 1.-The
excitement at Upper Lehigh yes
terday, during the raid of the mi
ners, was intense, and during their
stay there was a perfect reign of
terror. 1t seems that they divided
their force before entering the
town, some coming at the east end
and others at the west, thus cut
ting off tie retreat of citizens. -
Shots were fred indiscriminately
and without any order, many of
the crowd being intoxicated. AT
the hotel a violent demonstration
was made. The rioters went thro'
the house, endeavoring to force the
landlord and boarders to join their
ranks. Some of the inmates took
refuge in cellars. While others
escaped through the back door
The companies store was also at
tackled. Superintendent and the
clerks escaped but the rioters fired
shots into the building. Persons
residing along the highway were
fired at when they refused tojoin.
The mob expected from Schuylkill
county did not reach Audenreld.
Riots are reported at Ashland, with
the loss of several lives. All quiet
here this morning. The action OF
the sheriff had wholesome ef-

Prof. Chandler, of New York, has in
vented lactometer, an instrument by
which the purity Of milk can be accur-
ately tested. The poorest quality of
milk, when fresh from the COW and una
dultcrated, will register one hundred de-
grees, and this was taken as the standard.
A test OF the milk sold at the dairies in
various parts OF New York was made,
and much Of it found not to register over
City or seventy degrees. The curious
point in the matter is that the poorer
classes are the best judges of milk, and
insisted upon having the better article.
The Health Board Deputies in one place
found two cans. The milk in one reg
istered one hundred and eighteen and in
the other ninety-six. The owner ex-
planned that be was obliged to please two
classes of customers, and that the poorer
was the best judge. In other downtown
streets this statement was fully corrobo-
rated.

Taxes Paid by the Different
Districts Of West Virginia.
[ From dc Wheeling MtelAigencer. I


1t has been shown in times past in our
columns that the territory Immediately
bordering upon the north of the Balti-
more d Ohio road in this State included
a large proportion, not only Of the popu-
Igtion, but also of the taxable values Of
West Virginia. The exact figures in re-
gard to the revenues paid by the three
districts since the formation of the State
in 1868 up to 1874 are as follows: First
District has paid $2,407, 686 OF. The
Second has paid $2,262,O66 10. The
Third has paid 81, s09,943 21.
This shows that the First District has
paid 1904 1852 Sc, and the SECOND $3.50
342 90 more than the Third. 1t also APP
pears by the Auditors books that Ohio
county has paid 1907 1854 40, which is
one fourth Of the amount paid by the
First District, or one-tenth of the whole
amount paid by the State.

A Duel ON Horseback.
[ From the lingo Cal. Independent. ]


At Round Valley on Wsdnes-
day last, L. B. Lewis and w. r.
Wiswall quarreled about some
hogs al the ranch of the former
As no satisfactory solution Of the
difficulty could be obtained by
war OF words and fists, Wiswall re-
tired from the field of action with
the avOwed intention of coming
back better prepared for business.
He did SO, reappearing a short
time atterward with q six shooter.
Lewis, armed with a shot gun,
mounted his war horse and SAL
lied forth to meet him. ManOu-
vering short time for position,
both parties opened fire. Lewis
shot did no good, but Wiswall's
took effect In the neck of his OPP
ponert's horse, cutting the bride
rein at the same time, together rem
dering him unmanageable. But
the Lewis banner still floated de-
family to the breeze, and continued
to do so, even after shot from the
enem, had taken effect near the
sciotic plexus, or that portion of
the body nearest the camille of the
saddle. This was unpleasant, but not
sufficient to prevent the wounded
man, then dismounted, from firing
another broadside with the effect
of bringing the action to close,
the enemy drawing of. but still
unframed. Lewis wound is quite
severe, but not considered partic-
ularly dangerous.

The Resignation of Treasur'
err Spinner.

The Resignation of Treasurer
Spinner was accepted by the Pres
ldent, to date from July 1st.. There
are two stories in circulation as to
the causes leading to this resigna-
ton. One is TO the effect that up
on the return of Secretary Bristow
from New York on Friday last he
sent for Treasurer Spinner, and in
formed him that he in view OF the
declaration on his part that he
would prefer to retire to the shades
of private life, his resignation
would be acceptable if rendered.
Meanwhile the Secretary tele-
graphed to John G.. New, of In
dianapolis, that if he desired to be
Treasurer of the United States he
could have the place. Mr.. New
responded 10 the invitation in per-
son, and Thursday morning arriy-
ed here, whereupon he indicated
to Secretary Bristow that he would
accept the trust. Upon this Secre-
tary Bristow informed General
Spinner that his resignation would
prove acceptable, Whereupon he
rendered it. On the other hand il
is, with positiveness, asserted that
Gen. Spinner, feeling the ap-
proaches of age concluded to throw
aside the cares of Office and spend
the remainder of his life in that
rest which he needs, and that
prompted by his feelings solely he
resigned, without any intimation
from any quarter prompting his
course. To-day Mr. New indicat-
ell that he would accept the ten
dered appointment, and was chap
eroned through the various rooms
of the Treasury department by
"Buck" Jewell, of Indiana, form
erly Third Assistant Postmaster
General.

MIrFLINrowN, Sept. II, 1875

Mr.. Schreier-Sir To ask for space
in your columns at this late day after
Inspection, is acting on, or under the
sdage of ':better late than never" 1t
is "better late than never" to tell some
thing of our trip to Pot;sville for In
spection, aud | will do it as briefly as l
know how, for you know that the first
duty of soldier is not to talk much
but to act to the point.
We We're called to meet at our Ar
mory on Monday night, September Ii,
to prepare to march, at 5 o'clock next
morning On our arrival there We
found Col. Robinson there with the
"Juniata Scouts" in line, with between
fifty and sixty men-commissioned off.
GERS and enlisted men-and the s.GIay-
bill Zouaves," commanded by Captain
Cornelius Mcclellan, numbering forty
commissioned and enlisted men.
The Juniata Cornet Band accom-
panied us and enlivened US with their
superior music. A Company, number
ing forty-nine commissioned and en-
listed men, joined US in Perry county.
They were fine-lookiug soldiers. On
our arrival at Harrisburg We were
largely reinforced by Infantry COM
panles that were changing cars at that
place for our destination, namely, Potts.
vile, fer which place We started by
way of the Reading Railroad. At
Jamestown we we're reinforced by one
company. At Lebanon our number
was increased by two fire companies.
and the Colonel and Major of the Re-
giment. Col. CABIN is every inch a
soldier. He commanded company in
the 47th p. ", in the late Rebellion,
and many Juu;ata boys marched under
him through the swamps of Florida,
and with him as leader took q part in
the Red River expedition, and notably
worthy of mehrion is the old flag bearer,
Ben Walls, over sixty years of age.
The Colonel says he was a remarkable
man for endurance, and was brave from
the lowest depth of his his heart.
We reached Pottsville at ii o'clock
AN. The Colonel formed the line,
and marched up Central street to head
quarters, and there reported to the
gentlemanly commander, General Latta,
and bis assistant, j. NJ. Awl. The
command was moved up Market street
to the Peoples Line Railway depot,
and there esrs and were taken som
two miles to q beautiful grove, where
they we're inspected by Governor Hart
ranft and staff, upon the completion Of
which we we're returned to town, where
the Zouaves we're met by gentlemen
properly delegated to invite, to dinner
Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1875-09-29

at the engine house Of the "GOod In
tent Fire Company" The invitation,
it is needless to say, was accepted, aud
ample justice done to the good things
provided. The citizens Of Pottsville
may be proud of this company. They
threw open their parlors for our recep-
tion, which was quite treat after the
fatigue of the cars and inspection.
After short rest we formed line
and counter-marched and then fled
left, down Norwegian St. to the heights
that overlook the town, when all the
troops we're drawn up in line and re-
viewed BY the Governor and staff, after
which the march Of review was taken
up through the principle streets. This
n:aneavering consumed the Afternoon.
At the proper place and time the COM
mand was halted and pat Under com
mand Of their respective commanders
and disi;ii.sea.
:. Two hours remained, in which to dc
Postss!lle; and many of the boys
saw a go5a deal of the town in that
time Train time came We. boarded
it, and the next morning at 3 O'Clock
We arrived at .Hiff1in, safe and sound.
The members of the Band and the
Iouave company are of opinion that
thefe are few men better at entertain
ing strangers than the members of the
Good Intent Fire Company. TbeiI
name is most appropriate.
Everything passed of pleasantly
and Paddy McGuire kept in his hole,
as there we're TOO many "goons" about
for good health. And thus We close
for the next year.

irg of this communication, when the
Professor was in the height of his per-
formance, for l should have been glad
to have had her opinion IS to its effect.
Would she say that in eject 1t would
reach as far as any other performance
for good on that grotnd, considered as
\ buriesque 1t is said that Don
Quixote did n,5rs to extingdish knight
Errantty, its tournaments and attend
ing gambling, than all the serious ex-
hortations that had been delivered
against ii.
The hslf-mile race, participated in
by two Indians and one white man, s. B.
Richenbach, was an interesting one.
They all ran well, and as the white man
followed the Indians closely, 1 could
not help thinking that it looked like
destiny running out the Red Man. The
shite man was following him as sure as
fate.
The race of one fourth Of mile, in
dulged in by boys under II years, was
as spirited aud exciting to the specta-
tors as race BY the coming generation
Of that age could be. The tarsici-
pants we're John Ellis, Willie Caveny,
s. Loudou Todd, Fred Wright, William
Banks; Charles Doughmat and others.
The pedestrian, James Adams, de-
livered himself of walk that has given
many people new and possibly bet
ter idea as to how speedy walking MAY
be accomplished.
The management. Of the Fair was
kept to a moral status. At one time
CANDLES we're in glee; they thought
that an entering wedge had been effect
ed, and by the opening thus made a
lodgment for the whole fraternity, from
the selling of pools, openly, to the Three
Card Monte game, would be certain.
But fate was against it. The manage.
ment ruled in such a way that the
ground was soon rid of them, and the
outside concern that was set up, was
pounced upon By Officer Wilson, and
the offenders arraiened before Justice
Huzzard, who, in the leniency Of his
judgment and heart. and agreement
of the parties, left them |. off BY
ruling that they return the fleece that
they had sborn from green country
youth, pay the costs, and leave the
country, which 1t is believed they did,
for they were not seen afterwards.
would write you more of this plea
SAINT and profitable Fair, but l have
already trespassed largely on your
space. So adieu for the present, with
the expectation of hearing soon again
from MAIN STREET.

AMONG the many meritorious things
on exhibition at the late fair of the
Riverside Park Association, none were
more interesting than the display of
fruit by the Oberholtser Brothers,
and others. Our people could there
see that as fine fruit is produced in
Juniata county as anywhere in the
country. We were recently shown a
number of peaches raised by Daniel
Kloss, Esq, on his farm in Walker
township, which surpass in quality,
flavor and size any we have hereto
fore seen, one of these weighed 62
ounces, and was as fine a specimen of
perfect growth as can be produced
anywhere. -
