P~oiiteness was born in him, and he
couldn't help it. He drifted into a

was after clAton, and he let the fact be
known. He ssgas from Connecticut, and
he did not tryTo conceal it. He hadn't
been in the to&n two hours before an
"unregenerated" pulled his nose.
"Ah-yesf' said S4he man from Con-

An honr later rs he sat in the kutel, O

that he had better leave town at once,

DEEDS OF DEYILTRY.
Lawlessness In the Hooking Valley.

New STRAITsvILLE, o., Jan. 29.-Mine
No. 35, better known rs Plummer Hill,
was set on fire last night. Huge volumes
OF smoke issued from the mouth and every
crevice of the mine. It will make no
doubt an impression on the legislative in
vestigating committee unfavorable to the
miners. But one more mine, No. 8, re-
mains 10 be fred, which is looked for at
any time.
The fire at No. 8 mine is being put out,
but it will possibly be months yet before it
is accomplished. The men IN charge are
working three shifts, five men to each shift
and making good headway. Old miners
are applying for work every day. The
mine bosses say they can get all the help
they want 10 put the fire out. The better
class OF orr citizens are beginning to real
ize the necessity OF taking such steps M
will tend 10 bring this town hack TO its
once prosperous and BUSH like appear
ance.
Yesterday a special train brought some
fifteen or twenty Pinkerton guards here.
lhey were piaceu NJ WlHe NO. U, LOT the
purpose Of protecting the men now Mt work
putting out the fire. They have the FIRE
under control and feel confident Of ulti-
mate success. The company have fitted up
their blacksmith shop with cooking Hppar-
atus and hunks for the guards, and things
look as il they had come TO stay.
The incendiarism last night was doubt
less the result II the feeling excited by the
arrival Of the guards. The mine Is valued
al 100000. There is no possibility OF
extinguishing The fire without u hard
| struggle.
The Columbus Times, in comment, says:
"The firing Of this mine is but another step
in the commnnislic programme. Such
wanton destruction Of property is ALSO
luiely iendish, and Ia the sioutest argu
rnent that can he offered against the posi-
lion Of the strikers. II would not be q
matter Of surprise If by concerted actor

The strikers appear determined TO gam
their point. or else destroy those great de

ths mode Of repairing the roads, but the
people have not been able TO agree upon
any Of them. The one mos. likely to meet
