CAPITAL AND LABOR.


PITTsBURG, Pa emper q. - The
trouble which was~ icipated in these
dispatches last night took place this morn
ing at Jordan S. Neil's coal mines, in the
fourth pool. The strikers, who arrived al
the pool last night on the steamboat Stella
stationed themselves, about 200 strong
near the mines this morning, and, as the
workmen appeared, they arose in body,
and demanded that the workmen return
to their homes at once. Those who refused
to obey were roughly treated. Neil had
100 men st work last night. When they
attempted to return to work they were
driven back with sticks and stones. Quite
a number of men were badly hurt, but
none fatally. Robert Mcclure of the Iron
and Coal Police, with six special officers
were on hand and made an effort TO check
the strikers, but not wishing to precipitate
fatal riot by using their revolvers, they
retreated to await reinforcements. The
strikers are now in possession of the mines
and have sent for more of their number to
be on hand this evening. Sheriff Cham
bers of Washington county has also been
telegraphed for by the officisls. The meet
ing between the reinforced sides is awaited
with much anxiety. The people in the
region about the mines are terribly ex-

utilize the head, neck, legs, shoulders and

IsPkcIAL TO THE AFPkAL'

ESPECIAL TO THE APPEAL.i
JACKSON, Miss, November 27.-There
was quite an excitement here to-day
caused by the circulat on on the streets of
what is termed the "Black List" charged
to have been prepared by the anti-Prohi-
bitionists for the purpose of boyeotting not
only those who are opposed to them, but
also those who decline to take sides with
them. The black lis contains in one
class the names of citizens VINO signed
what is termed the Prohibition Petition -
another, cit teens who refuse to sign
"whisky petitions," that is, petitions to
the BosId of Mayor and Aldermen recon-
mending the issuance OF license to retail
Intoxicating liquors. The saloon men dis
claim any connection with or knowledge
of said list, and charge that the Prohibi-
tionists conceived and promulgated for the
purpose of injuring the whisky interests.
Reliable and responsible Prohibitionists
say that the whisky men did get it mp and
had it printed on pasteboard cards for
their own private use, but did not intend
that they should be circulated or known
to any outside of the fraternity, and that
it was recently printed and every effort
was made to conceal its existence from the
public; that the Prohibitionists, getting
an inkling of what was going on, for a
valuable consideration obtained one of the
cards or lists and had them struck of in
hand-bill form and circulated, that all
might be apprised of the boycotting plans
OF the saloon men. The effect has been
that many citizens who have heretofore
declined to sign the prohibition petition
now propose to sign it, and many who
have signed the whisky petition are tax
ing their names off. The engineer il being

AN interview had yesterday by an Ar-
rEAL reporter with Mr.. B.own, the we'll.
known ca!itslist, who has just made a
tinal settlement with the Tcxiug District,
will be found oi more than ordinary inter
est by city readers. Mr.. Brown takes &C.
casion to express his satisfaction with the
settlement. He says that all the creditors
of the city Of Memphis feel as he
does, and that the criticisms and structures
OF Northern papers are wholly gratuitous
and unnecessary. He speaks in the higc-
est terms OF Mr.. Hedden, as a patient,
good tempered and ssgscious public Off
Ger, and he thinks that his continuance in
Office would be an additional guar
antee Of coed faith that the holders
Of Taxing District bonds would app1e.
ciate. Mr.. Brown IS very much prepos-
sessed wi,h Alr. Hsiden's straightforward
way Of dealing with al with whom he has
business, and regards his success in re-
funding The deb. y hich so long oppressed
the people 4 Memphis as something re-
marksbls Ia his financial experience. Tes-
timony like this from a shreWd and expe-
rienced eauitslisr ought to have great
weight with the tsN payers especially. 1t

The greatest question involved at pres
