THE TRIBULATIoNs OF LABOR.

In order to refute the stories that have been
published relative to the destitution of the
Pittsburg strikers the Amalgamated Associa-
tion of Iron and Steel Workers has decided to
have daylight parade to-day Saturday to
show that they are neither naked, hungry, Or
starving" meeting of the striking miners
of No cOlliery, of the Red Ash Coal Com
pany, Wilkesbarre Pa, was held last Tuesday.
The operators refused to advance their wages.
A compromise was then effected by replacing
the men they had discharged. This met the
approval of the strikers, who have returned to
work. The Knights of Labor met again at
Frostburg, Md, Tuesday, and held a long ses-
sion. An answer was received from the COM
panies refusing another conference ON the
ground that they had given their ultimatum
at the first conference and another meeting
tor this purpose would be USELESS After dis
cussing the reply of the companies it was de-
cided to declare the strike ended on Thursday
August a. and it was ordered that the men
apply to their different companies for tools on
that day, and that such order be posted in the
different lodges throughout the region.

heard plotting the murder. The police believe
the tragedy to be the direct outcome of secret
societies, with which the west of Ireland is
permeated.
The London Daily NelrS has the following
from Cong, Ireland: "The prisoners are des-
cribed by the people as the ten biggest devils in
the country. The witness es gave their evil
dence with the greatest fl rmness and with
out hesitation. Police protection is unneces-
sary, as the entire population are the ir body
guard. The people shook hands with the
witnesses, saying, God bless you,' and ex-
pressing gratitude and joy that the murderous
gang had at last been run to earth"

In removing the old brick sewer which runs
beneath the White House, built probably when
the present Executive Mansion was erected,
workmen came upon an old well, and near by
it quite large cistern. The tops of both were
below the bottom of the sewer, and they were
discovered by the caving of the dirt when they
dug around the sewer. The well curbing is of
blue stone, but it looks like clay, and is nearly
ready to fall to pieces. These were probably
dug before the original White House was built.
