EIGHT HOURS ADAY.
The Anthracite Coal Miners Max
ing a Determined Stand on the
Question.
WILKEsBARRE, APP

WILKEsBARRE, April %.
1t is estimated that there are 10000
miners and laborers in the anthracite
coal regions who are either members of
the Miners and LaborerS' Amalgama-
ted Association or knights of Labor
For some time past the members of
these organizations have been agitating
the eight hour question, and through
the efforts of George Harris, of Pitts
burg, president of the Miners and La
borers Amalgamated Association of
Pennsylvania, and several other labor
agitators, the men have been brought
almost TO unit on the question. At
any rate, the Executive Board of the
Miners and LabOrers' Association of
Luzerne County this evening followed
the action of the Schuykill association
ard appointed committees to wait on
all the coal operators in the county and
notify them that Oh and after May l the
miners and laborers only propose to
work eight hours day and that if the
operators refuse then to have the mat"
ter submitted to arbitration.
The general opinion is that the oper
ators, at least maj orlty of them, will
submit to the demand made upon them.
What will follow in case Il compromise
is not effected can only he conf ectured.
Some think there will be long lock-
out, affecting the whole anthracite field
while others claim that there are too
many idle men in the country for the
miners to get up strike. The leaders
of the Amalgamated Association say
that the operators will meet them half
way and that there will he no strike.

Blown Unknown into Eternity.

Mahony City, Pa, April 24.-Thom-
as A. Shoemaker has the contract for
drying tunnel at the Buck Mountain
Coliery, near this place. He kept a
quantity of powder and dynamite in a
large chest at its mouth. About 4 o.
clock yesterday afternoon Hungarian

and it was supposed failed to extinguish
his lamp, spark from which ignited
the powder and the whole mass of ex-
plosives went off at once, blowing tie
unfortunate man to atoms. The shock
was distinctly felt niles from the ac-
cident. The chest was standing near

constantly congregated, but fortunate
ly at this time it was deserted. The

TRAMPS IN WISCONSIN.
A Reign Of Terror Inaugurated by
the Nomads' Bold Depredations.

LANCASTER, Wis. April 26.-This
county is overrun with tramps, who
travel in bands. They have inaugural
ted a reign of terror in the northern
portion of the county, adjoining the
Wisconsin River. That section is
sparsely settled, making the work of
intimidation easy. Sheep and hogs
are taken wherever found, and recent
ly the depredators bave become so bold
that they have run off a number Of val
liable horses. A sort of headquarters
has been established in hut on the
Wisconsin River, where the different
bands bring their 'plunder and rendez-
vous pending another foray. Two val
uahle two years-olds were stolen from a
farmer named Stipplch few days ago,
but the pursuit was SO hot and vigorous
that the tramps thought best TO drop
the team.
The increasing boldness of the gangs
has led to the organization of q vigil
ance committee. A posse of citizens
are now en- route for the outlaws camp
with the intention of drying them
from the county. AS the Country in
that vicinity is bluffy and full of cayes
and other hiding places, it is not
thought they will be successful in their
purposes. In case any resistance IS Of
fered bloodshed will fOllow,as the farm
ers are thoroughly enraged. So great
is the terror of the vagabonds that wo-
men and children object to being left
alone in the farm houses.

THE INFLUENCE OF HOME

It is an old adage that in "the mul-
tiplicity of homes there is safety to
the State - This is proved in these
troublous industrial times by the fact
that in the localities where the pro.
portion of workingmen having homes
is the largest there is the smallest
mum Der of labor disturbances. The
strikes in Philadelphia are few com,
pared with those occurring in com.
munities where the domiciliary situa.
tion of the working people is not as
comfortable. The Quaker City is no
ted for being the city of homes, a
very considerable proportion of them
being owned by the sons of toll.
- It is found that willie a working
man has home-is property holder
he has stake in preserving the
good order of the community. He
feels himself as belonging to the class
that is looked to for the maintenance
of the public peace. There may be
times when he considers it duty to
take stand to resist imposition in re-
gard to wages, or to assume the
cause of less fortunately situated as
sociates, but his property interest
renders him cautious about move
ments that may result in serious in
dustrial and social disturbance, and
creates in him an aversion to the
wiles oftbe demagogue.
By the increase of the feeling OF
ownership among workingmen, and
the growth of that influence which
springs from the word "home,'a NOR
al barrier is raised against the fire.
quent occurrence of labor disturban-
ees. If employers would more gen.
orally stimulate their employees with
the aid of the most liberal policy prac-
ticable in the acquisition Of homes,
such scenes as those of the sacrifice
of life at East St. Louis and the
widespread business desoIation along
the Missouri Pacific sy stem, would in
deed be rare.-Patriot.

HIGBEE and Sayers, the reputed Or
phans' Schools officials, of past glory
now put on defiant airs, the former
bluntly refusing to comply with the
Governors request for his resigna-
tion, the latter attacking him in an O.
pen letter, in which he states that he
will have his case investigated by
other authority before submitting to
the will of the governor. That is
generally the way with such rascals,
when caught in tight corners they
show fight.
The case is daily growing of more
interest an d it remains to be seen il
there is no way of getting rid of the
defective services of Higbee. Gov.
Pattison will certainly make sure that
he is right and then go ahead.

THE congressional com mittee ap-
pointed to investigate the labor troub-
les in the Southwest, and which con-
sists of seven members, with Hon. A.
G. Curtin at the head, last week heard
the statement of Grandmaster Pow
derly and other officers of the Knights
of Labor organization. Mr. Powder
ly laid the grievances of the laboring
classes on the Gould railroad lines be.
fore the committee in a clear convin-
cling manner. The question now re-
mains, will Gould's million weigh
heavier in the eyes of the committee
than the honest and manly statements
of Powderly. We gre sure of one
thing however, and that is, that Ex-
Gov. Curtin, who, as many of our
readers will recollect, has no particu-
lar love for railroad corporations and
their despotic kings, will firmly stand
on the side of labor, irrespective of
what the rest of the committee may
think or do.
On Monday q bill was introduced
in the house by Mr.. McComas (Md.)
authorizing the above committee to
investigate disputes between mine
owners and miners in the bituminous
coal regions of Pennsylvania, Mary
land and West Virginia.

him back. He set his house on the
ground with no underplnnin' under
it,"
"Well. s'posin' he did. 1 don't see
what hurt it would do"

soon five-story one.

that"
"No; of course not but when it
got up there, instead of heading out
with French roof and lightnin'

Three Different Doctors.

DoNGoLA, UNION Co., ILL. 4-3, 'S3.
Dear Sr:-I have been in bad
health for three years, suffering with
chills and fevers. and costiveness of
the bowels. 1 have tried three diff
ferent doctors, and taken quinine,
tonic, pills, and various kinds of.
medicines that were recommended
for the above diseases, and found
but little relief until | purchased a
bottle of "ARoMANNA." ;" l have
taken about two small bottles and the
chills have stopped. and my bowels
are in better condition and more reg
ular than they have been during the
past three years. 1 can say that
"a ARoMANNA," is the best medicine
to regulate and put the bowels in ac-
ton of any that l ever used in all my
life. and l am tolerably old, being
sixty-five years. If sufferers similar
ly afflicted knew the great merit of
this remedy it would be impossible
for you to supply the demand. I
highly recommend "ARoMANNA"
and hope it will reach the hands of
all sufferers.
