ANOTHER BIG STRIKE

Inaugurated Among the Coal Miners OF
Western PennsyIvania--The Outcoms
Difficult to Determine.
PITfsBURGH, PA, March 1O.-The most
extensive movement ever attempted by
the miners of Western Pennsylvania was
partially begun yesterday, and if the die
tates of the recent conventions are obeyed
by the workmen, not less than 10000
miners will soon be on a general strike.
Late last evening the news from the
miners was that the majority of them
were out, and that by ten days all, or
most of them will have joined hands in
their fight for three cents a bushel.
The officers of the Miners Association
have been working diligently and success
fully in getting out many of the reluctant
miners. Along the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad and the YOughiOgheny River the
men are all out. In the first pool but two
mines are running, and in the fourth pool,
which has always been considered the
miners weakest point, the miners went
out to a man, with the exception of two
small pits of but little consequence. In
the second and third pools only three
mines are reported running. Risher's
mine, in the former, has given in and
agreed to pay three cents for coal shipped
by rail.
President Costello was in the fourth
pool all day, and together with the com
mittee from other pools was concentrat-
ing all his power Of persuasion to bring
every man out.
A mass-meeting will be held to-day,
which will be addressed by Costello and
others. President Costello is confident
that the strike viii be a success, and that
The operators will pay the price demand
ed within the next ten days.
The operators are regarding the strike
with indifference, and say they will not
pay the price demanded. They say the
strike will be especially hard with the
miners, as at present One-haf of them
are nearly starving and the rest but little
better off. The prospects are that another
long and bitter strike has begun.

AN ARCTIC ROMANCE.

Private Henry's Sweetheart and Their
CorrespOndenee-He Was Going to Visit
the Arctic Regions, Write a Book, Gain
Fame and Fortune, Marry and Settle
Down.
WHEELING, w. VA, March 13.-There
is living at Parkersburg, in this State, a
young lady who has in her possession q
large number of letters which are coveted
by the War Department at Washington,
but she has so far persistently refused to
surrender them. They are letters from
the unfortunate Private Henry of the
GreeIy expedition. One of them was
written only a few weeks before Henry
was shot. 1t was brought to the young
lady by an agent of the department. She
was betrothed to Henry, their acquaint-
ance having commenced in 1879, through
the medium of an advertisement for
lady correspondents inserted by Henry in
the Cincinnati Enquirer. The girl
was then but fifteen years old She is
the daughter of prominent and well-to-do
parents, who were kept in ignorance of
her engagement to Henry until his last
visit to her while on his way to Join the
Greedy expedition. In one of his letters
Henry narrates his first experience as a
special correspondent, and says he will
visit the Arctic regions, write a book that
will make him rich and famous, and re-
turn to marry her and settle down.

An Indiana Female Physician Who Proved
That She Was Able to Defend Her Good
Name without Recourse to Slow Legal
Methods.
VINCENNEs, IND, March 13.-AbOut
three O'Clock Yesterday afternoon wom-
on walked rapidly down the street and
entered harness shop. A few minutes
later she again appeared-this time with
a long whip, which she drew from the
folds of her dress. Then she commenced
to strike man standing on the sidewalk.
He begged for mercy, but she paid no at
tentiOn to his cries, and gave him an un-
merciful beating. He endeavored in vain to
avoid the stinging blows of the long black
whip, making several unsuccessful ef-
forts to strike his aSsailant. She laid on
blow after blow until utterly exhausted,
when she threw down the whip in the
gutter, gathered up her skirts and re-
treated in good order, remarking that she
could defend herself against any man in
the country.
The woman was Mrs. Bake, a prac-
ticing physician of this city. The man
was John Google, of the local Office of
the Baltimore & Ohio Express Com
pany. Google had, according to the
DOCTORS statement, circulated reports
that she was the mistress of a local ply
sician. Having been advised by an at
torney that legal proceedings would be
very slow and uncertain, she took this
method of publicly defending her repu-
tatiOn

in refusing TO reinstate blackllsted play
ers The matter has been discussed by
several of the trades unions, aud inter

the prevailing opinion among these So

capitalists. The only offense urged
against the men is that they lett one en-

discovered upon shelf of closet, or cupboard,
wherein shipping blanks are stored, mysterious
package, which upon investigation proved to be
an internal machine charged with dynamite. 1t
was so arranged upon the pile of papers that the
opening of the door caused it to fall but the clerk
caught it before it reached the floor. There are
thirty or forty men employed in the room, and
an explosion must have caused a great loss OF

ceeded to examine it and tearing of the paper
wrapper, found tin can of the capacity OF ABOUT
one pint and cylindrical in form. at one emu
was a brass tube covered with a percussion cap.

1nent in falling would strike on the cap. w. l.

machine out on tho ice OF the lake and attempted
to explode it by means of an iron bar with trlg-
ger ard twine attachment. Failing in this he
cut the tin casing and removed the top, which

of sawdust and a dark powdered substance. a
part of it was fred and the burning was similar

Cooking a Plump and Pretty Girl.

Earle who wrote a very readable, intel.
ligent, and but little known account of the
Maoris, very early in the present century,
speaks of the gentle manners and kindly
ways Of IA New Zealand chief, whom he af
terward discovered to be an inveterate can
nibal. He relates that he visited the place
where was cooking the body of 4 young
slave girl that his friend had killed for the
purpose The head was severed from the
body the four quarters, with the principal
bones removed were compressed and pack
ed into small oven in the ground, and COW
cred with earth. 1t was case of uniustif-
able canuibaIism No revenge was gratiG
ed by the deed, and no excuse could be
| made that the body was eaten to perfect
their triumph. Earle says that he learned
that the flesh takes many hours to cook,
that it is very tough if not thoroughly cook
ed, but That it pulls in pieces like bit OF
blottipg paper if well done. He continues
that the victim was handsome, pleasant.

own words "While listening to this fright
full detail we felt sick almost to faint

killed the girl and again strolled toward
tue SpOG NucIc LuiS lSaSV was
cooking. Not native was now near it, a
hot steam kept occasionally bursting from
the smothered mass, and the same dog that
we had seen take the head of the girl now
crept from beneath the bushes and sneaked
toward the village; to add to the gloomi-
ness of the whole, large hawk rose heavily
from the very spot where the poor victim
had been cut in pieces. My friend and
sat gazing in this melancholy place; it was
lowering, gusty day, and the moaning of
the wind through the bushes as it swept
round the hill on which we were seemed in
unison with our feelings" Earle goes on
to relate how he and three other compa
trots whom he summoned from the beach
for the purpose, with the Englishman's
usual impertinent interference and intol-
erance of customs differing from his own, de-
termined to Illustrate Atoi's intention. They
together visited the hill where the flesh
was cooking, and, destroying the oven,
buried the remains in the earth. They
found the heart put on one side for the
special delectation of their constant friend
and companion, Atoi. Earle was afterward
good -humoredly told by the Chief that their
Interference had been of no avail, as they
had found the grave where the flesh had
been buried and opened it soon after he
and his friends had left, and finished cook
ing it and ale it all.-Popular Science
