ing iO force the men at work there
10 join them were successful. This
morning not "a man was at work,
and the ovens were closed down.
The strike has assumed a more
serious aspect, in view Of the ex-
citing occurrences Of Yesterday,
and grave fears are entertained by
good citizens that a reign Of terror
is not improbable, and that it may
excel the Hooking Valley riots.
Many of the miners who participate
cd in these riots are here sowing
the seed OF scdition wherever there
is a chance of r-aping. This re-
feIs, however, only to "A small part
OF The men. The Slavs are among
the most disconnected, and as few
Of them understand our language,
10 is hard TO pacify them when once
they are aroused. In the riot at
Br0adlord yesterday the foremost
and most determined men were the
ilungarians and few Italians.
The people living in the coke Ie-
gi0ns are strongly opposed to the
importing Of labor TO take the
places OF the striking miners.
4 member Of the COKE syndicate
says: "Iho plan now is to put
colorrd men in the places Of the
coke strikers. Thousands Of good.
stout cOlored men can be procured
around Lynchburg, Va. Those
now in the region are satisfied with
The wages and are happy. Not one
- taking active part in the strike,
and al would be at work if it were
not for their fear of bodily harm.
The intention is not to bring in all
numbers mt one time, but as fast rs
a family leaves the region a color
cd family will take its place, and
the change will not be noticed I'M
al it is made"

PARIS, TEXAS, February G.-At
one O'clock yesterday morning a
mounted posse composed OF nearly
a hundred masked men suddenly
appeared in front of the Jail. While
tho cavalcade remained mounted a
dozen OF the party jumped Oft their
horses and knocked for admittancc
at the front door. Jailor Baldwin
opened the door and two Of the
mon sprang inside. Baldwin show
cd tight, discharging his revolver,
but the men Knocked the jailor's
arm up and then choked him until
he became black in the face. Break
ing open a cell the mob seized Il
T. Garrett, the wounded desperate
who killed Deputy Sheriff Clay
Davis. They dragged him through
the Jail, placed him in wagon and
marched to the timber land, three
miles distant, where they strung
him up to a tree by means Of com
mon halter. The vigilantes had
prepared their attack with great
care, guards being placed in every
street leading to the Jail. The jail
or's wife rang the alarm bell, and
many citizens tried to reach the
Jail. but were prevented by the
display Of six shooters in the hands
of the determined lynchers. Gar
rett had been arrested Tor disturb
| ing a Christmas tree festival at
Shockey's Prairie, when Sherlll
Davis kindly permitted him to visit
his home before going to Jail. Sub.
seQuently Garrett seized a rife and
brutally murdered the officer while
the latter's back was turned. Gar
rett was afterwards captured in
the woods, receiving fourteen dcs
perate wounds, and he was just re
covering from these wounds when
Judge Lynch summoned him to his
awful fate.

ing the point Of exhaustion, as has
been stated recently by experts
but .he course of the market doet
not indicate that the operators and
spectators in pipe line certificates
are of the same opinion. Yester-
day the price fell to 7Ss, a lower
figure than has been quoted for a
long time past, and very heavy
sales were made at the declining
prices. For a whole barrel Of oil,
7Ss cents is a very small sum.

AN ANCIENT RUIN.
The Old Circular Church at Charles
ton to Disappear.

The ruins of Circular church, one Of
the most picturesque ruins of Charleston,
is about to disappear as one Of the city 5
landmarks. The church, or rather all
that was left of it after the great fire Of
1861, has been a point of interest to
every visitor to Charleston for the past
twenty-five years, and with its twin relic,
St. Finbar's cathedral is soon to pass
out of existence as an ornamental ruin.
Its crumbling walls and its "cOignes
of vantage on its topping tower
have been the resort and home Of
the doves and sparrows for an in
definite number of years, and its ivy
clad walls have made up picture of
sad and pathetic interest.
According to the information given in
Mayor COurtenay's Year Book Of 1882, the
church was constituted between the year
1850 and 1890. Its founders were Pres
bvterians from Scotland and Ireland,
Congregationalists from England and
New England, and French Protestants
who had emigrated to South Carolina up
on the revocation of the Edict Of Nantes.
The first three ministers of the church
are supposed to have been Congregation
alists. The popular name Of the original
church was the "White Meeting" a name
which was evidently applied from the
color of the building. In consequence OF
the Revolutionary war, the church re-
NAMED without a permanent minister
for six years, but in 1888 regular
service was resumed. The original
building used by the congregation was
only forty feet square, but in 1779 the
demand for pews necessitated the con
struction of a new church, which was
erected in 1887 on Archdale street. In
1904 it was determined to build a new
and handsome editice in circular form,
lightweight feet interior diameter. This
church was dedicated in 1906, and in
1888 a lofty and graceful spire was added
1t was from the latter date an ornament
to the city until it was burned in 1861.
Ii is now proposed by the congrega-
ton to erect a new building on the site
of the old one The object of the con.
gregation is being materially furthered
by the Congregatonalists throughout
the United States.-SdgaHHah NeloS.
