The War on Convict Labor.

LOUISVILLE, March THE five
companies of state militia sent by
Governor Knott to protect the con
vlcts and state property at the
Greenwood mines, near the Clncin-
natl Southern Railroad, in Pulaski
county, Kentucky, arrived there
early this morning and took the DO
free miners and citizens entirely by
surprise. The free miners had or
dered the le-sees TO remove the c0a-
vlcts and were waiting for the eX-
piration of the two days of grace
granted before they resOrted to the
threatened violence,
The mob is orderly and not dis.
posed to resort to violence, but they
insist on the removal of the con-
vlcis They say that of course they
can do nothing, aud will do nothing
as long as the troops remain, but
say the convicts must and shall 90
just as soon as the troops are order
ed away. They say they bhme no
one but the Legislature, and say that
it is the duty OF that body to repeal
the law which allows convicts to be
leased and worked to the detriment
of free labor.
Ihe soldiers are in charge, and no
trouble Is anticipated while they re-
main, but it Is the opinion that
when they 90 the citizens will force
the conviets to go. the question is
then Will the state keep the militia
on guard continually or will tue
conyicts be removed, Convicts are
worked in several other mines in
the state, and the same trouble is
likely to spring up any day.

Di,ch,.s and RoDoins . Tram.

Ell PAso, Texas, March A
freight train on the Mexican Central
Railroad in charge of Conductor
Narl bound north was ditched and
robbe2 at Kilomeire, north San
Francisco Station, on Tuesday night,
by band ofsixty Mexican outlaws.
The train consisted of seven cars,
which were all diiched. The out
laws first robbed all the train hands
then stripped them of their clothing
and tied th,ir hands behind them,
and in this condition the men walk
ed into San Francisco Station. No
one, however, was hurt. The cars
were broken open and large amout
of freight was laken by the robbers,
in search of whom troops are now
securing the country. 1t is believed
that the outrage was comusitted by
the same band which some time ago
robbed stage in the State OF Zaca-
tecas. There were in the stage be-
sides the driver, three men aud one
Young woman, all belonging to the
best families Of Chihuahua. The out
laws robbed them of their yaluables
and every particle of clothing and
/ in that condition allowed them TO
proceed in the stage. The robbers,
out of consideration for the young
woman, gave the people in the stage
sheet which they used in common
as lap robe, and thus made their
way to the nearest station.

Myers and John Houghton.
rne temperance people called
witness after witness to the stand
who swore that :he sale of liquor al
Hughesyille was injurious to the
citizens, while the liquor men
brought witnesses @ho sS0re that
their houses were respectable places.
Judge Cummin announced that ali
Licenses were refused for Hughes
VILE. Nearly 800 people came from
that town on special train.

burg, Pa, some time ago, were ar
.ested in Pensacola, Fla, last Tues
day, just as they were about to em-
bark for Cuba, Mrs. Hill who was
worth $4,000 in her own name,

lucky, Tennessee, Georgia and Flor

aged to gain admittance to the best

Miss CIeveIana's Foo,man.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-On Mon
day Miss Rose Cleveland, the Presi-
deht's sister, accompanied by Miss
Van Vechtin, of Albany, and Mrs.
Kinney, visited the capitol. The la
dies were driven to the Senate
Chamber in the Presidents carriage,
and when they alighted were accom-
panied to the door Of the executive
gallery by a footman whose attire
was the envy of every colored mes
seneer and door tender in the build
ing. This footman was tall and fine
looking. He wore high silk hat,
lustrious and well fitting, adorned
with a rosette. A double breasted
light drab overcoat with prodigious
tails ha1ging nearly to his feet en-
veloped his stalwart person, and the
big round brass buttons that held
it close to his form shone with the
brilliancy of gold. The footman
waited until Miss Cleveland and
her friends had seen enough of the
Senate, and then, taking their
wraps, followed the ladies at a res
peclful distance through the corri-
dors and rotunda of the House wing
of the capitol. The procession was
decidedly imposing, and 1t attracted
the attention of every one who saw
it. Members of Congress from the
rural districts were astounded at the
display, and the statue of Thomas
j, tierson in Statuary Hall rocked
on its pedestal when the liveried
fiunkey of the mistress OF the White
House passed by without 80 much
Us lifting his bat.

Poison in Maple Sugar.

GRAFTON, w. Va, March 7.-One
of the most daring and malicious al
tempts to murder an entire family
ever known i'll this State was made
in the interior of this county few
days ago. Mr.. f. j. Ross had open
ed up his sugar camp, and left the
buckets at the trees over night.
Some time during the night some
person, supplied with half ounce
of strychnine, put portion In each
bucket, and then threw the empty
bottle away. The next morning,
when Mr.. Ross was preparing to
boil his sap servant found the
empty bottle, and. seeing the poi
son" label, informed Mr. Ross. As
precaution, that gentleman took
some of his sap to DIR Findlv, who
administered a small quantity to a
cat, which almost immediately ex-
pired. Had it not been for the for
tunate discovery of the bottle many
innocent persons would undoubtedly
have been killed. There is no clue
to the would-be murderer.

Huntingdon : Gold Mania.

HUNTINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Iutense
excitement prevails in Brady town

A Colored Rebel.

New ORLEANS, March Stewart
Pringle, noted Confederate negro,
died in Morehouse Parish last week
He went through the Mexican war
with Col. Butler, of South Carolina,
and was in the Confederate army
with Captain H. d. Brigham. He
was Southern to the core. He would
never admit that the South was
whipped, but would always say the
Confederates were overpowered. AT
ter the war be was a staunch Demo
crat. He loved to talk of Lee and
Jackson, but Stonewall was his IA
vorite. He had a canteen from
which Jackson drank, and no mon.
ey could have induced him to part
with il. At one time his Captain
drew the money to pay off the com
pany Just as it was ordered into bat
tie. The money was handed to old
Priugle for safe keeping. The Off
GERS and privates gave him their
money and watches to keep until
the fight was over, and the faithful
old man proved true TO the conf
dence reposed in him. Once, when
the Federal gunboats went up the
Ouachita river, when Captain Brig
ham, Confederate Quartermaster
was stationed under the fire of the
feet, Pringle gathered all the rec
ords of the office into bag and
took to the woods. When Captain
Brigham came across him he asked
Where are my papers ?" 'ln this
sack. Everything that had writing
on it is in here" was the reply
Many poor wounded soldier re-
memhered old Pringle. He was the
good Samaritan, giving food and
drink after the conflict was over. Ol
late years he has been the janitor oi
the public school and town fiddler
of Bastrop. He was inferred by the
Confederate veterans whom he had
served so faithfully and who beld
him in so high esteem.

An Aged Couple Bound aud Robbed

GREENsHuRG, March 2.-On Sat
urday evening John Snyder, aged
SO, of Grapeville, went to his door
and saw there three men. who said
they had come ''to make that gas
lease all right" As soon as they
were inside they threw Mr.. Snyder
TO the floor with such violence that
his shoulder was dislocated. Two
of the men then tied his hands and
feet Mrs Snyder was then choked
until she was almost unconscious
Her hands and feet were bound, ana
one of the men stood Oh her breast
and stamped on her face. The men
thea took a feather mattress and
covered her head. and in this condi-
tion she remained for three hours.
during which time the men rancack-
ed the house. Not finding anything
of value, they demanded money, de-
claring that in case of non-cOmpli-
ance they would apply the torch to
the house All they received, how
ever was a 80 gold piece, wal-t
and "a pocket-book containing sl.04,
with which they departed. Several
hours later the aged couple were
discovered and released from their
unpleasant predicament.

MCCORMICK, the great manufact-
urer of reapers and other agricultur-
al implements, closed his immense
works last week without any previ-
Gus notice and at once threw several
thousand workmen out of employ
ment. This peremptory lockout
was caused by the demand made on
him for the discharge of a few nom
union men in his employ. In thus
taking the bull by the horns, Mr..
Mccormick not only asserted his
right to control his own business,
but has given the labor organizations
of the country pause for thought,
which may be Of great future service
to them. OF course, be is hotly de-
noanced as tyranical, and his action
declared 10 be unwayranted, bat
with reflection must come the
thought, what more injustice is there
in his discharge of men who are
knights Of Labor, simply because
they are Knights of Labor, than
thsse was in their demanding the
discharge Of non-union men, simply
because they did not belong to their
organization p? Both transactions are
based on the same false assumption
that of denying to others the
Sigats aud freedom each claim for
themselves. Organized labor has
frequently gone on strike Just as

"A rather novel murder is report
ed from Mcdowell county, in the
extreme southern end of the State,
the victim being Tom Cline, popu-
larry known as Tom, the Devil" and

Dat Meal Mills Buried

CLEVELAND, o., March 6-At
O'Clock this morning fire broke out
in the extensive oat meal mills oi
Ferdinand Schumacher, at Akron,
Ohio. These mills are the largest In
the country, and consist of several
immense buildings. About 4 O'Clock
calls were sent to Cleveland, Canton
and Lent for and, which were prompt
~ responded to. By sharp and If
tecliye work the old mill on the
southwest corner of the square and
one small dwelling house were saw
ed. A large Elevator, containing
10000 bushels of wheat, was de
stroyed. The fire spread from this
structure to the New York, Pennsyl
vania and Ohio Railroad depot, and
entirely destroyed it, together with
most OF the contents.
The loss is estimated at nearly
81 100000. Mr.. Schumacher car
rled an insurance CT $4,000. No
one was injured by the falling walls,
but the house owned by Ed Russell,

The Monument Moved by the Heat Of
the Sun.

WASHINGTON. March "A curl
Gus characteristic of the Washington
Monument was related by Colonel
Casey at recent meeting OF the
society. One very bright day the
apex of the monument moved at
least one inch westward in the
morning, when the suns rays first
fall upon it, and eastward again in
the afternoon, when the sun reaches
the western side. The heat of the
sun has an expansive effect opon
the masonry aud the plummet that
is suspended in the interior of the
monument registers this movement

Senator Hawiey's Loss.

WASHINGTON, March, 3.-The
wife of Senator Joseph K. Hawley
of Connecticut died at her home In
this city at $50 tonight. She was
taken i'll last week with severe
cold, which developed into pneu-
monia on Friday. and she has been
growing worse daily. The Senator
has not been IN his seat this week,
but has remained constantly at her
bedside.
Mrs. Hawley was born in Gull
ford, Conn, in 1881. and was a
niece of Henry Ward Beecher, her
maiden name being Harriet Ward
Foote. She was married in 1880 to
Gen. Hawley. She never had any
children, but a year ago she adopt
ed the orphan child of deceased
sister, 8 years old, who has been a
great pet of both the Senator and
Mrs. Hawley. While Gen. Haw-
ley was in the army his wife was a
nurse in the hospitals of Virginia.
She has been her husbands private
secretary and political adviser
throughout his entire career, attend
ing to all of his correspondence, and
assisting him in many other ways,
giving her time to those duties in
stead of to society, to which she was
quite a stranger. Mrs. Hawley's 5
name never appeared in the list of
those who attended fashionable par
ties, bnt she vas invariably present
at all gatherings for charitable and
literary purposes, and was an au-
thores' oil no little ability, although
most of her publications have been
anonymous. Her last words to Gen.
Hawley were an expression OF graft
tude to him for his devotion as a
husband.

sions took place in the Uniondale
mine, at Dunbar, four miles from

which will prove fatal in at least
three or four cases. The cause oi
the explosion was fire-damp. There
were twenty three men in the pit

uninjured.
The first explosion occurred about
1870. 1t was terrific shock, aud
was followed by two others in quick
succession a few minutes later. The
first explosion caused the death ol
two men and injured three. The
rest ran toward the mouth OF the pit
but before they reached it the Other
explosions occurred. There was an
upheavel of earth, cual-dust and 9th
er debris. The lights were blown
out, the dust blinded the men and
the passage-ways were blocked up,
and all escape cut off The pit was
on fire and IA horrible death awaited
the imprisoned miners. Nine OF
them, wko had been working in an
other entry managed TO make their
way out before the mouth of the pit

WIrH creditable promptness, Gov
ernor Pattison has commenced a
personal investigation of the alleged
abuses at the Soldiers Orphans
Schools. We publish elsewhere the
result of his Investigation of the
school at Mount Joy, which shows
that the charges made against the
management of this institution al
least, were well founded. The treat
ment of the children was proved by
abundant evidence to be shameless
and there can be no justification OF
the authorities having it in charge.
There is probably much more yet to
be laid before the public, regarding
the i'll treatment and neglect of those
helpless orphans as the examination
OF tie other schools progresses.
