Trouble Among the Coal Miners.

PITTsBURG+, Pa, Jan. 16-A special to the
Dispatch from Connellsville says the situa-
tion at Mt. Pleasant is alarming. The coke
drawers and miners at the Moorewood and
Standard works struck yesterday, and a
bowling mob of Hungarians has congregated
in the vicinity of the mines and will allow no
one to lift tool. This morning some fifteen
masked men drove the Hungarians
away from their work. In these
two works there are 1850 ovens. The strike
was started by Hungarians, and from pres
ent indications it will be necessary to call
out the militia. A report reached Connells-
vile this evening that riot was in progress
and all the coal and iron police, besides
numerous deputies, are now at that point. In
the coke regions there are over 1000 work
men, and if a general strike results there
will be much distress and perhaps serious
trouble.

Sudden Death of Secretary Bayard's
Daughter.

Ga0SiSOts
Miss Katharine Bayard eldest daughter of
the Secretary of State, died suddenly at about
three o'clock this afternoon. The reception
at the White House was suspended lmme-
diately ON hearing of her death. The imme-
diate cause of Miss Bayard's death was dis
ease of the heart. At the reception at her
fathers house last night it was remarked
that she was unusually animated, and taxed
herself to the utmost to entertain the guests.
1t is presumed the undue exert1on may nave
preciptated the fatal attack. The young la
dy retired about one o'clock last night, eX-
pressing wish to be left undisturbed till
noon. Between one and two o'clock this af-
ternoon younger sister endeayored to aWaK-
en- her, and struck by the peculiar expression
of her face, called for assistance. Physl-
clans were summoned and powerful restofa-
tives, including electricity, applied, but IN
vain. The physicians expressed the opinion
that Miss Bayard had been dead several
hours when the attempt was made to awaken
her. She was about 2S years of age Ine
funeral will probably occur Tuesday, at VII
mington, Del.

A CU(E)RIOUS SPECIMEN.

We saw some curious
specimens Of Boys Clothing
the other day called "Sati-
netts," and warranted nine
tenths cotton. They cost
$3.50 a suit, and the dealer
said There are lots of them
sold in Washington as all
wool for $2.5o."
We are trying to cater to
the wants Of the Washing
ton people, but if you want
that kind of goods we can't
supply you.
We can, however, show
you the Finest Assortment
of Boys and Small Boys
Clothing, and we think we
can give you better value
for your money than any
other house here.
