chronic, produces Bronchitis, and often

MINING TROUBLES.
German w0rkmen Assaulted by Dis
satisfied Miners.

PIrrsBURa, Dec. 22.-There was an out
break at the old Eagle mines in the third
pool near Elkhorn yesterday morning. At
an early hour about 20 masked men made
an attack upon two Germans when about
three-fcurth of mile from the pit. Ono of
the Germans was knocked down and beaten
with club, sustaining serious injuries.
The other one Jared better, getting OIL with
few scratches and black eye.
An alarm was quickly raised and Super.
intendent ]. L. Jones and Engineer Kerr
with one other man succeeded in routing
the strikers, who displayed very little
courage. They ran for the hills MS soon as
Mr.. Jones and his assistants arrived on the
scene. No other outrages have been re-
ported but an uneasy feeling prevails
throughout the entire valley. AT all the
mines where the diggers are working at the
reduced rates, the men go armed in order
that they may be in readiness to repel any
attack.

FORGED AOcEPrANoEs.
A California BANK Trying 90 Solve
n yAYstery.

~
Associated Press Dis,,atcb by special Wires
sANTA BARBARA, CAL, Dec. 2J.-Strcnuous
efforts are being made by the First National
Bank of this city to get at the bottom OF
the matter of the alleged forged accept
ances OF the Camden Consolidated Oil Com
pany of Parkersburg, W. Va. The cts AZ
far us learned are that Dir. Il. ". rocks.
acting us agent for the Camden company
bought Of IL. l.. Williams $50 acres of the
Artega ranch for $4,000. He gave In pny.
ment $40, 900 cash and three notes secured
BY. mortgage the first OF which was 10,
$2t, 900 payable in three months, the SECOND
for $2l 900 payable In six months, and the
third for $2S, 900 payable in nine months.
Later the notes were exchanged for
three acceptances on the Camden
Consolidated Oil Company for tho same
amounts payable in two, four and six
months. The first of these acceptances was
discounted at the First National Bank and
about 900 was paid on it. This was in
turn sent to the Bank of California In San
Francisco which addressed the Camden
company informing them that the bank
held the note In question. The answer
came back that the company had no knowl-
edge of such draft and pronounced II
forgery. The draft was then sent back to
the Santa Barbara Bank which made good
the amount to the Bank Of California.
The bank here claims to be amply secured
and feels no uneasiness as to the result as
far as 1t is concerned. In reference to the
matter W, w. Hollister, president of the
First National Bank, makes statement
that the bank will not be Inconvenience by
its connection with the transaction, and
further says: awe are trying to get at the
bottom of the whole matter" All the Cali
| fornia people connected with the affair are
of irreproachable character. The whole
matter still remains mystery.

seated ut his desk in his private office in
the second story of the building, FOG Chest
nut street. this afternoon, he heard a loud
report and crash of glass, and a bullet
mirror In his rear. The would-be assas-
sin had crept up close to the door
which has glass panel protected
by a curtain, and the smoke from the
powder blackened the glass. MIR. Smith, as
soon as he recovered from the first shock,
seized pistol and rushed out into the hall
way. He could see no one, but some boys
who work in room on the opposite SIDE OF
from the building Immediately after the
shot was fired. The police were informed,
but up to late hour had made no arrests
Mr.. Smith had no well-founded suspicion
as to who fired the shot.

OLD WORLD.
NIagisserial Examination Of John
and Sarah HHagee.

Nnagissertal Examination OF JOhm
and Sarah Haagec.
Associated Press Dispatches by Special Wire.
LONDON, Dec. pa magisterial examine
ton of the case OF Jno.and Sarah Magee, who
were arrested on the 18th inst, at Kensing-
ton on the charge Of attempting to procure
money from the Prince of Wales by writing
threatening letters, was held to-day. The
letters referred to state that four men
men had been appointed to murder
the Prince OF Wales for $500 pounds each,
and the Magees offered to inform on
the intended assassins provided they were
given FL 900 and q free pardon. The detec-
lives who were detailed to work up the case
met the Magees by appointment and gave
them package containing 500 farthings.
This was done to lead the prisoners into
believing by the size OF the parcel that their
request was being fully complied with SC
that the detectives might get the whole
story from the Magees and see ii there was
any truth in 1t. On Magee discovering that
the package contained farthings instead OF
pound pieces he upbraided the prince for
his treachery, demanded 81 800 and threat
ened to shoot the policeman who arrested
him.
The crown prosecutor, believing that Mrs,
Magee was innocent of the crime and that
she was entirely under the influence OF her
husband, withdrew the charge against her
and she was discharged from custody. 1t was
proved by a draft of the letters found In
Magee's pocket-book that the letters were
in his own handwriting. He was committed
| for trial.
