Labor Troubles

A telegram from Fairmount, W. Va,
reports additional strikes among the
miners in that region, by which 500
men are thrown out of work. The
operators say they cannot afford to
increase the wages of the men.
The strikers of the Harmony Mills OF
Cohoes, N. Y, remain out, the employ
ers refusing to advance the wages.
Forty grinders in the cutlery works
at Beavers Falls, Pa, are on strike
for higher wages. The fork makers,
twenty in number, gave notice last
evening that they would strike next
week if not granted some advance.
Sixty of the one hundred men at
work on the Government dyke at East
Carondelet, ILL.,, have struck for an ad-
vance of 25 cents per day.
Ali but fifty of the stone masons who
struck in St. Louis few days ago,
have resumed work at the advance de-
manded.
The starch manufacturers of the Uni
ted States met in Cincinnati, yes terday,
formed an association, and agreed upon
al advance in prices.

A CORONER's ZEAL.

How he Dets rmiBsd 10 Hold mn
Inquest ON the Body OF Henry
Pepper, Esq, and was Prevented.
The sad death Of the late Henry Pep
per, ESQ.,, was daily announced in yes
terday's issue. From the suddsnness
Of his death it was thought by many
that an inquest would be necessary.
This however, was incorrect, for Mr..
Pepper had been somewhat unwsll, and
DR.. Kane had been treating him for
some days prior for the prevention OF
appoplsxy.
The physician stated upon making
an examination Of the deceased that he
would have no hssitancy in giving q
certificate and that the cause of the
death was sufficiently clear without an
inquest.
Notwithstanding this the Coroner
made preparations for holding an in
quest. He was demonstrated with but
proceeded to summona jury to aot in
the case.
As the proposed action was one that
would be useless and only profitable to
the coroner, as we'll as accompanied
with much that would be unpleasant
to the family, other steps were taken to
prevent the holding OF the inquest.
Attorney General Gray was consult
ed, and, after looking into the facts of
the case, he gave an orde4 preventing
the Coroner from holding the proposed
inquest. Had this not been done, seri-
GUS complications might have arisen,
as the family and friends were deter
mined to contest the official authority
of the Coroner to the utmost.
THE FUNERAL.
Mr.. Peppers funeral will take place
in Philadelphia tomorrow morning.
1t will only be attended by the friends
and relatives of the deceased.
