AnOtheT Fire.

Thursday night last the beer bottling
establishment of Paul Hoppe, situated
in the Sixth ward neat the Czech tannery,
was destroyed by fire together with most
of the contents, involving loss of about
$1,000, on which there was an insurance
in the Rochester German Insurance
Company of $500. 1t is the opinion of
many that the fire was the act of an
incendiary. Two workmen in the build
ing lost some $50 in money besides sever
al valuable papers. The Phoenix fire
company turned out promptly and were
soon playing on the fire, Notwithstanding
the serious delay they encountered by not
having a team in readiness to haul the
engine.

The Miners Strike.

The coal miners along Wheeling creek
have been in state of fermentation for
several weeks, because of a strike inStl-
tuted by themselves on account of the
discharge of miner named Morgan at
the New Pittsburgh works, and the re-
fusal of the coal company to re>instate
him. The Pittsburgh Il Wheeling coal
company now refuse to operate their
works with union miners. and the union
men interfere with the mines when a
few noH-union men can be secured to
operate the works. and either through
arsuasion, threats or force secure the
abandonment of such mines. kidd's
mines, about one mile north of the st.
ClaiTsviile junction, on the c., l.. & W.
road, has been running light for the past
ten days, with force of from fifteen to
twenty men, until Monday, some of the
union miners started out with their
horns aud paraded north from Wheeling
creek, increasing in numbers to over one
hundred by four o'clock in the afternoon.
when they reached the Kidd mines. A
com mittee was sent to the managers Of
ice to request a conference with the
miners, but they were informed that the
men were engaged, and that it was not
desirable for them to trespass upon the
mining premises. They paid no atten+
ton to the request OF Mr.. Kidd, but
straightway took up the line of march
to the mouth OF the mine, and delega-
ton entered it and brought out the men.
They were marched TO the creek bank
and given to understand that if they
again entered the mine to work, they
would do so at their peril.
The crowd then continued their march
to the Valley mine, operated by Joseph
Ramage, where another body of non
union men we're taken FROM the mine
and charged not 10 enter it again. 1t is
understood that a considerable number
of the men are ready to go to work and
Tenounce the union, but are prevented
by leaders.
Should the men continue to follow the
dictates of union leaders, it is believed
that there will be no coal mined on
Wheeling creek the present season, as
the Pittsburgh & Wheeling coal company
express a determination to close down
the works altogether, rather than subs
nit the management of their business to
parties other than those selected by their
cOmuany

The Rebel Flag.

After Gov. IIoadly had thanked God
for the solid south, shown dIsrespect to
Grant, and arraisned during the CAM
paign those WHO dared TO refer TO the
question of equa rights ds being guilty of
haunting the "bloody shirt" the final in
suit to the veteran soIdlery of the State
was perpetrated yesterday at the head
quarters of his managers. A huge Oan+
ner had been displayed for two months
in front of Democratic State headquar
ters on a cable stretched across Broad
street. This bore the portraits of Hoad-
iy and Warwick. with the usual cam
pagn inscriptions. Beside it was sus
pended huge shirt that was besmeared
with red paint. so as to ridicule the
bloody shirt. The garment was made
of strong canvas and very large and was
well daubed with red SO as to present Il
posure were the words: New North
New SOuth-A new deal-The last of
the bloody shirt" This "bloody shirt"
had not long been hung out when the
news flashed over the city. Ex-soldiers
could not credit the reports and rushed
to Democratic State headquarters to see
for themselves. Their first impulse on
seeing the insulting, unpatriotic emblem
was to charge on the place as they did
on the newspaper Offices or sympathi+
Zers of the works of the enemy during
the war, but they were considerate, had
regard for the public peace and sent
word into the Democratic headquarters
to take down the rebel sign. At first it
was not needed, but soon the cable was
leosened, when the "boys in blue" very
appropriately saturated the thing with
coal oil and burned it. There was in>-
tense feeling about the city as the crowd
gathered, and for some time iserious
trouble was apprehended. 1t seems that
this big shirt" was prepared for the
national Democratic committee last
year, that it came near creating a riot
once in Washington, and that it was
sent to the State committee here over a
month ago, but that they were afraid to
display it before the election and that it
was yesterday hoisted at the instigation
OF the more impulsive partisans. There
was more alarm over the probable effect
of this procedure in Cincinnati than in |
this city. At any rate, in addition to
the insult TO the patriotic soldery it was
an indecent act to hang such a thing
