Tho Hooking Valley strike Falls 10
Affect Cleveland.


CLEVELAND. April 26.-The strike in the
Hooking Valley will probably have no
effect on the Cleveland coal market. The
firms here principally interested in Hook.
ing Valley coal are Babcock, Morris 4
Company and Rhodes & Company, and
neither OF these will raise the price OF
Hooking coal on account Of the temporary
suspension OF work in the mines. The
strike, as was stated yesterday, orig.
mated from the reduction made in the
wages Of. drivers from $2 05, to ST T5 per
day. The reduction made in miners wages
on April LIST. was accepted by them with.
out any strike, but they have now struck
because the drivers wages were reduced,
acting with the drivers 10 compel the oper.
ators to accede to their demands. AS
soon as u..-..!.
AN ADJUSTMENT OF TIE DIFFICULTY
with the drivers is brought about the
miners will go to work again, as they arc
simply holding out to aid the drivers.
There is large surplus Of Hooking Val
ley coal on hand, there being several
thousand tons now in stock in Cleveland
and at Linndale, and there is no pros.
pect Of a scarcity Of Hooking Valley
coal for several weeks, even should the
mines lie idle for that time. The fact that
the miners in the. Connotton Valley have
resumed work will lessen the demand for
coal, as the operators in that valley were
obliged 10 purchase coal from other districts
TO fill portion OF their orders.
Tue strike in the Jackson district in no
way affects the Cleveland Market Mean:
while work in the Tuscarawas Valley mines
goes on without interruption, and It is pro.
phesied that before many days work in
the Hooking Valley will be resumed.

effected.

WEtIfBvBo, April 2e.-From the most
reliable information that eau be obtained
in regard to what the result OF the recent
cold snap will be upon the fruit and other
crops, we learn that thus far there is no
very great cause for alarm. Most Of the
farmers interviewed think that peaches,
plums and cherries are slightly damaged;
but say they are not able to give positive
answers until after there has been day or
two Of warm sunshine. The wheat is not
far enough advanced to be damaged. Our
farmers do not seem to be the least alarmed
as to the prospects for a good crop all round,
should the remainder Of the season prove
favorable. 'HH

/ not remain long away, for after about
forty minutes they sent word they
had reached an agreement, and being
summoned back to their bench an
nounced, amidst breathleSs silence in
court, that James Brady was guilty.
The judge finished his charge at
thirteen minutes after three, and the
verdict of the jury was rendered five
minutes before four. When the YER
dict was read deep but suppressed
murmur went around the courtroom,
and Brady, who up to this time had
been singularly composed and free
from emotion, turned ashen pale.
DR.. Webb started up to make a mo-
ton, and after complete silence had
been restored and before the judge
pronounced sentence of death, he
said IN composed voice, 81 desir
TO move for arrest of judy
ment. He alleged that under
the crimes act the jury which
heard the case and had just given in
us verdict was not legally formed;
that the prisoner had not received
notice that he was to be tried before
a special jury.
The motion was desired by Judge
" DlIOn, WIZ HOW Sdlu 10 Il6 prlS-
oner, Have You anything to say why
sentence of death should not now be
pronounced upon you?''
Brady responded in a loud, clear
and firm voice, 81 am not guilty of |
the charge which the informers have
sworn on me. These men wanted to |
swear away the life of any one to |
save their own.
Sentence was then pronounced, that |
on the 18th of May next Joseph Brady
be hanged.
After the sentence Brady, who had
recovered his composure, rose in his
seat, and with solemn vehemence pro-
tested his innocence of the crime.
After making the last disclaimer he
was hurried from the courtroom nv
the officers.
In the street the announcement of
the verdict had been received with
marked utmost disfavor and condenl-
nation. Great crowds of people had
waited impatiently about the doors of
the tribunal until the conclusion of
the trial, and now were packed still
closer about the building in hopes of
getting sight of the condemned man
