NrONONGAHELA MINERS.
NO RiotIng Either at the Coal Valley OF
Pine Run Mines

Pine Run Mines.
PITTsBURG, Nov. 30.-Contrary to ex-
pectations tA1N was no trouble at Coal
valley today. The strikers assembled in
large numbers about the Pine Run mines,
but no attempt at violence was offered
when the non-uniOnists went to work.
All is G it now. As strikers say they
will not disturb the men working, no
serious trouble is apprehended. The
Lynn miners at Pine Run were the only
ores in operation. There is a dispute as
TO the number at work. The operators
claim that 80 men went in this morning,
while the strikers declare that not more
than 10 went to W ok.
oN-UNIoNIsTs MALTREATED.
In the fourth pool a small number of
men resumed this morning atNei's mine,
but at GTegg's and Woods the diggers do
not feel inclined to 90 to work until the
trouble is over. This is owing to the fact
that several nOn-unionists have been
caught and severely beaten, and their
houses pelted with stones during the
night. In one instance a bullet was fired
through the window of a miners house,
passing few inches from the mlner's
wife, who had a babe in her arms. The
Sheriffs Of w ashingtOn and Fayette coun-
ties, with large posse of men, are still
on duty, but their services have not been
required to-day. Sheriff Chambers has

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, Nov. 3d.
Joseph McMurrin, who was shot by
Deputy Marshal Collins on Saturday
night is still alive. Collins was to-day
turned over to the military authorities
at Fort Douglass, fears being enter

not shared by reasonable people, in view
of the fact that McMurrin admitted that
he had assaulted Collins and was beating
him at the time OF the shooting.
ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTED.
II is maintained by those persons who
understood the facts that Nc Murrin was
one OF four men who were lying in wait to
assail, and, perhaps, murder Collins, and
that the Deputy Marshal did what any
one would do under like circumstances.

A Specimen American Boy.

About four years ago, says Washing
ton correspondent, l was much i'm
pressed by young fellow named George
Mcclellan, who was the brightest of
pages. He worked hard all day, did
extra jobs for Congressman and at
tended night school. He was the sole
support of his parents and sisters, and
never did good, smart, ambitious lad
more willingly aud unselfshly under
take that labor of love and duty. He
attracted the attention of the warm
hearted, eccentric Gabriel Bouck, then
a member from Wisconsin, who offered
to take him to Oshkosh and train him
to the law. The other day l met
George Mcclellan, now a handsome,
bright-eyed, intelligent man, who had
come to Washington, not to seek Office,
but to remove his family to a Western
home, which he had earned for them
God has blessed and will continue to
bless this noble youth who, in honor
ing his father and mother, has honored
him. Great men are nodded out OF
such boys. and if life be spared to me
ten years longer, l expect to read SONS

Clellan, of Wisconsin, who, the then
Congressional Directory will state, rose
from poverty TO deserved wealth and
distinction. Such young men are the
real hope of the republic.

The First Watch.

At first the watch was about the size
of "A dessert-plate. 1t had weights, and
was used as 'pocket clock" The
earliest known use of the modern name
occurs in in the record Of 1862, which
mentions that Edward VI had zone
larum or watch of iron, the case being
likewise of iron gilt, with two plummets
Of lead. The first watches may readily
be supposed TO have been of rude execu-
ton. The first great improvement, the
substitution OF springs for weights, was
in 1910. The earliest springs were not
coiled, but only straight pieces of steel
Early watches had only one hand, and
being wound mp twice "a day, they could
not be expected to keep the time nearer
than fifteen or twenty minutes in the
twelve hours. The dials were of silver
or brass, the cases had no crystals, but
opened at the back and front, and were
four or five inches in diameter. A plain
watch cost the equivalent Of one thous-
and six hundred dollars in our currency,
and after one was ordered, it took a
year to make il.

woke UP The wrong Parrot.

Funeral fact and funeral fancy are
subjects prolific of true stories, but we
have rarely met with a better one than
the following which is vouched for a
story of fact At a suburban funeral
not long ago, the clergyman was dilat-
ing upon the many virtues of the de-
parted. As it happened there was much
justification for il, as the deceased was q
man of large heart and many merits; yet
the clergyman, probably feeling free to
let his fervor of language play unre-
strained, almost outdid his theme. Not
content with couching mis- praise in
simple and straightforward words he
'nsounted to imagery a nd seemed to at
olutlute angelic as we'll as human charac.
not -stics. When at the climax of his elo-
.1uence, his hearers charmed with the
nsweet incense, the spell was broken by a
shrill voice, which cried out:
''Facts, facts, give us facts"
The sensible comment came from a
sage and venerable parrot which had
been removed to an ante-room, and then it
was remembered that prominent among
the virtues of the deceased master was
sturdy dislike for flattery and a habit of
sharply rebuking "highfalutin.

sorry he smoke.

At Fort Bayard for long time there
lay an old spiked cannon, which had
been rendered useless for some reason or
another. The Apache chief of that dis
trict fell in love with that cannon. He
used to come every day and beg the
commandant TO give it to him. At
length General Sherman was announced
as coming. and the officer told the
Apache that he must ask him for it. He
did. The general looked at it, saw it
was of no use, and presented it to
hiTn.
'Tam afraid, said the general, with
mild jocosity, ''you want the cannon so
that you can turn it on my soldiers and
kill them"
"Umphl no. Cannon kill cowboys.
Kill soldiers-club."
The general was sorry he spoke.-Sdn

The Arabs Never Surrender.

As at Teb and Tamai, the wounded
Arabs refused to be made prisoners, and
great caution had to be exercised in
moving about the field, not only to avoid
the covert stabs dealt by the bleeding
Arabs, but the rushes and cuts OF the
fanatics who slammed death in order
that they might the more surely get a
chance of burying their weapons in one
of us.
Exploring along this wady party of
our men came upon six dead and four
wounded Arabs lying under a bushy
dwarf mimosa tree. The soldiers had an
interpreter with them, and the Arabs
were called upon to surrender and come
out. That they said they could not do ;
would the soldiers therefore come and
take them. The four wounded men still
held their spears in their hands. every
good" said our soldiers, put down your
spears, and we will see you are well
treated, and do all we can to cure your
wounds"
The answer of the four Arabs came
fierce and concise; ''Put down our
spears, infdel dogs! BY God and the
prophet, neverm There was crack OF
nldItIul-lenIyS lou can guess Tue
rest. 1t was again, as at Teb and Tamai,
almost impossible to take prisoners, and
we secured but two of their wounded
alive.
The third prisoner I assisted to bring
in, but he was hardly capture, for the
man gave himself up. He had Rem.
ington and over 100 rounds of ammuni-
milton. His story was that he had been
one of the Berber-E Egyptian garrison, and
since the fall of that place had been
forced into the Mahdi's army. He was
glad to escape from them, he declared,
and I must say the fellow looked cheer
full at being taken. A trooper of the
Nineteenth conducted him to General
Stewart. He was our one unwounded
prisoner London Telegraph.
