THE ST RiK e.

SCRANTON. August 25 The Pennsylvania coal
companys reply to the miners demand for in
creased wages, refuses the concession and adds
that work will not be resumed in the mines unless
the miners are quite unanimous in favor OF re-
sumption at July rates. The miners will meet to
decide the question.
1t is understood the general object of the meet
ing of railroad fremen and brakemen yesterday,
was not in reference to the future strikes, but to
raise funds to meet expenses of the late strike.
Several tremen and brakemen are in Jail, and
bail is required. Families need assistance, and a
large number who lost their situation asked relief.
The result of tue meeting is not definitely known
but IS believed the men dissatisfied with their
organizations AMI large numbers refuse to be
bound by them OF furnish any more funds.
BosToN, August 26 A mob masked and arm
ed compelled the miners at number six breaker OF
the Lehigh Coal Company at Ashley's suburb OF
Wilkesbarre, to stop work and draw fires Friday
night.

CHICAGO, August 25. Private advices announce
the destruction last night of the bridge across the
Missouri silver at Omaha. II is also reported the
transfer boat was swept away.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, August Is. Two spans Of
The Missouri river bridge at this place, two humid
cd and fifty feet each in length, was blown down
and almost wholly destroyed, during a violent
WIND and rain storm this morning. The storm
was from the north and struck the esstsrly end Of
the immense structure with such force az TO
wreck hive hundred feet from the connections and
topic it INTO the river, twisting the stringers and
Columns into an endless variety of shapes. About
one-half Of the debris is under water and the re-
mainder lies on the side and at the foot Of high
emoankment on the eastern approach. II ia i'm
possible to give correct estimate of the loss The
dismsntled piers SO far as can be ascertained are
unlnJured, as also the remainder of the bridge
nine spans in length In consequence of this DIS
aster, communication with the west is wholly
interrupted at this point but arrangements will
doubtless be perfected shortly for erecting for the
present temporary spans until permanent ones can
be supplied, or for the transfer of freight and pas
sengers by ferry.
The loss is about $3.50, 900. 1t will probably
take from two to three months to rebuild Il.

credit, and help them through. Lagrange said be
did not fear an investigation, as nothing could be
proved against him. Pnney urged that however

liable to the reputation Of our city an orderly

Col. Comes, Mexican commander at Camsgo, and
Capt. BIywn at Rio Grande City, in which the

says he has been inst ucted to do by the Governor
of Texas. The latter commander also stated to
Gomez that a force of % 600 are organizing in

without aid from his (Ord's) regulars.
