PITTSBURG, Dec. 11.-Quiet reigns about
the Monongehela valley mines to-day. Not
withstanding the uneasiness felt last night,
there was no disturbance. The strikers
were around all night. but kept at a safe
distance. The non-union men at Pine Run
did not go to work until daylight this morn
ing. fearing repition of yesterdays at
tack. They have decided to discontinue
the night work as long as there is danger of
another outbreak. At Alliquippa the work.
men expected an attack during the night,
and made preparations to give the mob
warm reception. They We're provided with
repeating rifles. and each man was given
fifty rounds OF ammunition. The strikers
did not put in an appearance, however, and
this morning the men went into the mines
as usual. Great excitement still prevails
among the residents i'll the neighbOrhoOd of
these mines, and serious trouble. perhaps
bloodshed, is predicted. Sheriff Gray has
stationed a posse near the Alliquippa and
Pine Run mines, and has also sworn in a
large number of men living in the vicinity
who will respond to his call at moments
notice.
II p. m.-The striking miners are still
encamped on the hills near Pine Run. They
did not venture near the mines to-day, and
the nOn-union miners were allowed to go to

A feeling of insecurity prevails, however.
and another outbreak is looked for at any
time. it is thought an effort will be made
to settle the strike by arbitration. Master

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-There are a
few men among the new members of the
house to whom public attention turns at
very first sight. Among the first questions
: that the visitors in the galleries ask is,
''Where is Davenport of New York;"
Then they usually ask for Daniel of Vir-
ginia. recently elected a senator, and then
for Scott of Pennsylvania, the millionaire
member OF the house. Most of them eX-
press surprise, too, when the men for whom
they ask are pointed out to them. Daven-
port is a younger looking man than he is
usually pictured. He is very slender and
quite youthful in appearance, with heavy
brown muStache, wavy black hair and a
pleasant face and manner. Daniel of Vir-

SAVINGS BANKS.
An Effort TO BE Made to Connect
Them With the Postal Service.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-There is to be a
vigorous effort to get this congress to adopt
a system of savings banks in connection
with the postoffice department. An effort
is being made to show congress the
inadequacy of the present savings bank sys-
TENS of the United States and the lack of
confidence i'll them by the very poor. The
system which was introduced in Great
Britain has been great success. and has
now extended to Belgium, Italy and the
Netherlands. At any postoffice savings
bank deposits are received of any
sum not less than shilling
(25 cents) nor more than $50 (Sf50). In
one year. when the deposits amount to FL
(S5), interest is allowed at the rate of 215
per cent. per annum. At every postOffice
blank forms can be obtained free of charge,
upon which one-penny (two-cent) postage
stamps can be affixed, and when the form
Is thus filled it will be received at
any postoffice savings bank as deposit of
25 cents. Every depositor in a postoffce
savings bank receives a deposit check by
means OF which he can make fresh deposits
or withdraw his money from any postotiice
savings bank in the United Kingdom. The
popularity of this system is shown
by the fact that deposits in this postal saw
ings' banks now amount to some 5000
coo, 0G0, while the number of deposits is
So, 600. 600. The real value of this system
is shown by the fact that it seems to have
actually created all these savings for busi-
ress. The private savings banks in the
country have gone steadily on in the mean
time,

factories as standard of prices in that

DONE WITH A PAPER CUTTER.
A Man Dies i'm San Francisco With
Blood on His Hands.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. 11.-Shortly
before II o'clock this morning C.. W.
Brown, an engineer residing at Cheyenne,
Wyo., entered the Office of John P. Ben
son, land surveyor, and, asking the time of
day, abruptly said: ''Benson, I am in
trouble with woman at Cheyenne, and
want your advice and help" Benson re-
piled that he was busy, and rose to go out
When he reached the door of his Office, he
half turned to further excuse himself for
leaving so unceremoniously, when Brown
drew revolver and, without saying word,
fired. The ball struck Benson in the left
cheek. Brown fired again, the ball taking
effect in his neck. This wound gave rise
to the belief that BensOn's throat had been
cut, as he was bleeding profusely from the
wound when found. Brown then turned
the revolver on himself and fired three
shots, but realizing he had not killed him
self, seized a large paper cutter lying on
the desk, and furiously thrust it into his
neck. The blow was aimed with
SUCH SAVAGE FORCE
that it coursed almost through and severed
the jugular vein. He dropped to the
minutes bled to death. A policeman who
fee heare thd shots and rushed into Ben
sons Office, but too late to prevent further
mischief. No word or sign of life could
be extracted from Brown. who was in the
last agonies of death. Benson, on being
raised up, quickly said he had not had any
dispute with Brown; had known him tor
several years; had had many land transac-
tions with him. and beyond some business
disputes did not know why he should
shoot him or take his own life.
Brown is well known on the coast, having
resided here fourteen years. Last July he
failed for $4,000, but succeeded in az
ranging his affairs, and since then secured
some valuable government land on dredg-
ing contracts. The trouble is traced to a
balance of So, 900 which Brown claimed as
due him, and which Benson disputed. IL
is supposed demand for the money led to
the shooting. Brown is son of A. L..
Brown of Cheyenne, formerly chief clerk Of
the United States surveyor generals office
at that city. Benson's wounds, although
dangerous are not believed to be fatal
