strike on the Morgan road, has caused a COM
plete suspension of work in the Morgans' posses
sions. No freight trains go out. and the laborers
will neither discharge nor load steamships at

nothing to do but wait for events to shape them
selves. He had telegraphed to New York to stop
all shipments of freight by the steamships of
this line. The Southern Pacific Railroad Com

LABOR MATTERS.
No Immediate Prospect of a Settlement OF
the Coke Strike.

No Immediate Prospect of q Settlement Of
the Coke Strike.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Feb. Iz.-There seems to be
no immediate prospect Of an amicable settlement
of the coke strike. At present the demands
made are widely at variance. The English min
ers want an advance in wages, but have few other
demands which they press. The Hungarians
and Germans, however. have q long list Of de-
mands. They demand that nobody shall be
prosecuted for the r;oting and illegal acts com
mitted during the strike. They say that the
men at present under arrest, and all those
against whom indictments have been found, or
are to be made. shall go scot free. They also
ask for an advance in wages, the total abolition
of company stores, and the appointment of check
measurers who shall keep tally on the present
time-keepers. The syndicate is willing to grant
the advance after March Is. provided the men
will return to work at once at the old rates. but
positively refuse to make any other concessions.
Another meeting. will be held on Thursday.
when definite action will be taken.
Nearly ! 900 strikers gathered at the Beeson
works to-day to persuade the employees to quit
work. Many of the strikers were armed. and
trouble is feared If the men refuse to join the
strike.

The Mining Troubles at Devier, Mo.

BEvrER, Mo-, Feb. 17.-No work was done in
No. / mine yesterday, bat at No. 4 a few colored
men went down into the pit, and at noon a num-
Der more resumed work. By evening, Mr..
Loomis claims, nearly the whole force
had gone to work. It is understood that
measures have been taken to form an agreement,
which all the colored miners were urged to sign,
binding themselves not to work if the reduction
OF wages was made. Mr.. Loomis says his men
are nearly all contented. A few of the colored
miners, however, had been bribed by the white
miners, and were endeavoring to stir up dlssat-
isfactlon among the rest. but their effort had met
with little success. As soon as he found out
who these men were, he had discharged them.
lie regarded the fact of some of the men resum-
ing work as an indication that there would be no
strike. The negroes say that no strike has been
declared, and all are free to work who choose.
They deny. however. that more than fifty men
we're at work to-day, and are still firm in the be-
lief that Mr.. Loomis will not make the reduc-
ton, and await the action of committee to con.
fer with him.

The farmer wis has a store of potatoes should
watch them about this season of the year. to
see that rot does not get in its work. It cannot
always be prevented, but a busting of air-slacked
lime through them often prevents 1t, or checks
it after it has started. In the latter case they

Before putting new pork into the barrel the
latter should be thoroughly scalded to emove
the impurities and to destroy any germ that
would surely affect the pork if not removed. A
barrel that has once been used to pack beef
should never after be used as q pork barrel. It
will be found next to impossible to keep pork
sweet in it. But this is a rule that does not
work both ways. An old pork barrel is one of
the very best for keeping beef. ;

How the human system ever recov.

GUS medicines often literally poured
into it for the suppositive relief of dy s.
pepsia, liver complaint, constipation,
rheumatism and other ailments Is a
mystery. The mischief done by bad
medicine is scarcely less than that
caused by disease. If they who are
weak, bilious, 'dyspeptic, constipated
or rheumatic, would oftener be guided
by the experience of iuvalids who
have thoroughly tested Hostetter's
stomach Bitters, they would In every
instance obtain the speediest aid de-
rivable from rational medication.
This me dicine is searching and at
the same time a thoroughly safe rem
edy, derived from vegetable sources,
and possessing, in consequence of its
basis Of pure spirits, properties as q
medicinal stimulant not to be found

lants often resorted to by the debili-
