notified that a . per cent reduction in all
wages would go into effect ut once. The

accept the reduction. On Tuesday Hun
garians and Polanders were put to work
about the mine, and although the striking
miners watched their movements closely
no disturbance occurred until late in the
evening, when the foreigners were at
tackled. The excitement brought to the
scene crowds of persons, and in less than
ten minutes the fight became general and
was participated in by one hundred men
and boys. All sorts of missiles were used,
stones. clubs and fence rails. From fifteen
to twenty. five persons were seriously and
several Hungarians fatally injured. As

An Exciting Boat Race.

ALBANY, Aug. 20.-Between 10 1000
and 5000 persons witnessed the double
scull race between Courtney and Conley
against Gaudour and Hosner at Pleasure
island this afternoon. Gaudour and Hos
mer were favorites two to one. The race
was started shortly after & o'clock, eau
dour and Hosmer getting off first. Both
crews pulled about thirty strokes to the
minute. Before a hundred feet had been
passed Courtney's tremendous strength
was felt and at twice that distance his
boat was a quarter length ahead, the pull
ing having been increased To forty-two
strokes a minute. which was maintained
to the end. After passing Island park,
Gaudour and Hosmer put in their best
efforts and almost cvened up, but at the
upper end of the island Courtney and
Conley had put clear water between them
and their competitors. At the stake boat
both boats sought to make short turns,
but they had not calculated the strength
of the tide and were borne against the
stake boat. Courtney and Conley made a
bad foul. and those who could not see the
cause of the accident set upa shout thatthe
Union Springs oarsman was ut his old
tricks. There was a cry of who sawed the
boat ?? but the oarsmcn got their oars
into water again and sped on. Gaudour
and Hosmer iouled the stake boat. but
only slightly. All along the homestretch
there were several lengths OF clear water
between the boats. Gaudour and Hos
mel made a rluckY struggle for the stern
chase, and when they We're a quarter of a
mile from the finish closed up the lead
from five to three lengths. but Courtney
and Conley would let them come no
nearer, and this distance was preserved to
the finish. Courtney received an enthu-
siastic ovation. The time. considering
the tide and the mishap at the stake boat,
was phenomenal, beating all previous
time on record by Il generous margin. 1t
was II minutes, 81 seconds. Immediate
ly after the race Gaudour and Hosmer
entered u protest, claiming the boat of
Courtney and Conley had been assisted
around the stake boat by the occupants of
the latter. The referee declined Ia allow
the clam.

Brooks or

LONDON, Aug. 20.-Hugh Brooks is
doubtless identical with Maxwell. He
was formerly a clerk in the Office of Brown
& Ainsworth, at Stockport. About eigh-
teen months ago he passed an examine
ton and commenced the practice of law at
Hyde, but he met with little success. In
January last he announced that he had an
important law suit in Dublin which re-
quired a primary visit to London, and he
left Hyde, taking with him a tricycle. and
Photographic apparatus belonging to DR..
Sidebotham, of Hyde, having evidently
sold his own effects to pay his creditors.
Shortly after Brooks departure the curate

men were seen together in Paris, where
they were giving Photographic shows,

the jeweler of st. Louis agrees with the
number recorded in the books of the
Hyde matchmaker as that Of the watch
which he had sold to Hugh Brooks. The
portrait Of Maxwell published in a Wash
paper exactly resembles Brooks.
Hugh was about five feet six inches high
and had a dark moustache and a square
chin, with a supercilious air aud drawing
voice. 1t is certain that Hugh and
Preller became acquainted in England and
for America together. and it is
certain that Hugh was short of
The fact that Hugh dabbled in
medical experiments makes the chloro-
form story plausible. Letters reached
Hyde which were dated at st. Louis a
of days prior to the murder, one
containing an Easter card addressed to
former sweetheart. The case has
aroused much excitement at Hyde.
