ers, and the uncertain men, who were in
clined to accept the operators terms have
been won over by logic or eloquence, or
both. The largest assemblies last night
were at Mansfield, Midway, Mcdonald, on
the Pan Handle railroad; at Alpsyille,
Scott Haven and West Newton, on
the Baltimore & Ohio, and at Banksville
and Saw Mill Run. One rather unusual
feature OF the gatherings was the active
part taken in the proceedings by the wives,
and even the children, Of the miners. The
women claim that they really could not
procure the necessaries of life il the price
OF digging was reduced, and they are loud
in their determination 10 persuade their
male relatives not to give in TO the de-
mands OF the other side. The strike this
year is one Of the largest that has ever
taken among coal men in this section OF
the State, and being universal, the men
feel confident OF ultimate success. This
year the railroad operators will be com.
PEELED 10 rely solely on their brethren. OF

Reports from the railroad coal mines
state that the strike against the reduction

two. Operators admit that the strike is
general, but profess to be indiffer.

duration They say they will see
their mines idle until next fall rather
than pay more than three cents per bushel

this the greatest strike OF miners ever

are prepared to hold out.

EuAhh NonFI.
The constitution OF these United State!
provides that no man shall be tried twic,
for the same oflense. Col. W. w. Arnet
and his client, Kleinbaus, claim that thil
provision has been violated, and for thii
reason have taken an appeal from Squire
Peterman's court to the Circuit Court.
1t will be remembered that last Saturday
morning, George W. Cots and his wiit
had some loud and angry words with each
other, at the corner OF Tenth and
Market streets, after she had fol
lowed him 10 a bail in progress al
Turner Hall and gotten him out. II
the course Of their conversion, Cots used
highly Objectionable terms in referring tc
Kieinhaus, with whom he charged his wife
with being too intimate. All OF sudden
Kleinhaus darted out OF the door OF hi:
house, in front OF which the two were quar-
reling, and gave Cots a terrible pounding.
The scrimmage lasted but short time, but
during that time Kleinhaus never spoke a
word. That afternoon in Police Court each
were fined S. and costs for "disorderly con.
duct"
Cots then went to Squire Peterman'e
Office and swore out a warrant charging
Kleinhaus with assault and battery
The case came, up for trial last night.
Kleinhaus was represented by Col. Arnett
and Colts by L. @. Stifel, Esq. The original
process from the Municipal Court was first
produced, and then Col. Arnett read from
the Acts Of 1882 the clause providing that
when man is tried in the Police or Munic.
ipal Court for an otfense, he shall not be
tried for the same in State Court. He
then argued ior an hour that there was
no case sgainst Kleinhaus. Mr.
Stifel claimed that an offense against
q city ordinance and State
law were not the same, as the war.
rants showed; one was "disorderly,' the
other assault and battery" Then the
attorneys spouted for another half hour,
aud the witnesses, all newspaper men,
swore, US they were kept from their labors,
Finally the testimony was started by
putting Colts on the stand. He told the
slne story that be did in the police court.
Col. Arnett-"Isn't that the same story
you told in police COURT"
Mr.. stifel-"I object"
Then there was another wrangle. The
objection was sustained. Kleinhaus con:
lessed judgment, and took an appeal.

evadel he law Of the land, but
thought he should obey God rather
than man; he had not in his own
estimation been insane for eleven months
at least. He fully believed his religious
experiences had done for him all they
would-if granted discharge he would
accept the first honorable position offered
that would enable him TO support his fam.
lily. Freeman was then arraigned on an
Indictment OF murder and plead not guilty.
Judge Colburn then authorized his removal
from the asylum to BArnstable Jail to await
further action.

Projects Talked of ia Connection with
the Coming sale.
On Saturday next Hornbrook's Park, the
famous aud popular resort five miles east oi
the city, is to be sold at public sale. The
plan OF having the city purchase it for a
park was abandoned as impracIcable
shortly after 1t was conceived, but there Ia
general public interest in lis fate, and q
great deal OF speculation as TO what the re.
suit OF Saturdays sale will be.
The lato Col. Thomas Hornbrook valued
the park at 100000, and that is not high
figure for It now, but II will probably bring
a very small fraction Of that sum at auC-
ton.
Il is known that ATr. Anton Rsymann
and some OF his business associates have
been considering the plan Of buying the
park and converting It into summer
garden where dancing and other amuse.
ments could be enjoyed and beer and
refreshments procured by visitors. II is
probable that II the property can be pur.
chased at a price which meets Mr.. Rey-
maun's ideas he will buy It.
There has been some talk Of purchasing
the grounds and converting them into a
cemetery. This city is coming to need
more available ground for the burial Of the
dead, and the Park offers an unusually at.
tractiye site, ready for use as soon as the
lots are laid Of.
There Is a lingering hope that in some
way the park may be preserved for the
public, but ss its present owners seem de.
termined to sell 1t this hope has little basis
TO rest on.

that in April 1889, the church and school

A Cincinnati dispatch says There will
be no disturbance here among the cigal
makers on account OF the reduction in
taxes. They struck some time ago for ar
addition Of wages, and succeeded; so did
the cigar packers. There remains but q
single question unsettled between employees
and employers, and that will not present
itself till theiall. Heretofore the wofkmen
had been required to pay thirty cents a
month for the gas consumed while at work
mornings and evenings Strikes for an ad
vance have been made at Newark, Ohio,
aud at Portsmouth, Ohio. The demands
OF the workmen ut Steubenville, Ohio, and
Urbana, Ohio, have been complied with.
The cigar factories OF Wilkesbarre, Pa,

sin, are at peace with themselves and the
manufacturers, and hold their places. The
small shops have granted an advance OF 81.
In these places the men make the
entire cigar, hence they had the manufat.
turers at an advantage, but in the large
factories the girls prepare the filling and
the men simply roll on the leaf and new
hands are easily taught. There was no in.
crease at these places.
The cigar manufacturers Of Louisville
have acceeded to all the demands Of en-
ployers and no strike will occur there.
Seven hundred cigarette makers OF New
