LABOR'S WAR.
Number and Extent Of Strikes
Throughout the Country.
Fifty-one Thousand in 1886 VS.. Eighteen
Thousand In 1884.

New YORK March 12'-One year and
quarter ago Bradstrcets published the re-
suit of an investigation into the decreased
number of hands employed in prominent
lines of industry, and among other eXhib-
its was one that there were in the United
States 1850 employees on a strike, large
total as compared with any preceding
date, excepting during the railroad strike
of 1871 OF the total given i,l00 were
coal miners, 5000 of these being in
the Hooking. Valley alone; there
We're $3.50 Massachusetts and Rhode
Island cOtt0n-weavers. 1,200 Connecticut
hatters, 5000 Philadelphia shoemakers
Qocked out), and 1900 Philadelphia
caipet-weavers. AT the present time the
increasing number and the magnitude of
strikes is due in large part to efforts to
put wages up TO former levels and to secure
recognition from employers for employees
organizations which seek to reduce hours
OF labor, enforce exclusive employment
OF Union men, advance the rate of wages
and prevent the employment of con-
vict labor in competition with free labor.
1t is found that on Thursday, March II, the
date of Bradstreet's inquiry, there were on
strike at prominent industrial centers east
of the Rocky Mountains no less than $1,000
employees, as compared with $4,000 in De-
cember, 1884 Classifying the strikes, it is
found that the total of bituminous coal
miners is p, ,4S0, against 100 one year and
quarter ago. of textile workers is 10,330,
against 1850 and of boot and shoe employees
4,075, against 5000 in December, 1884.
While the great nail strike west of the AL
leghenies has not ended, and does not
promise success for the strikers. the num-
ber resisting the mill owners is about 1000.
At the latter date the strikes were in al
most all cases against reduction of wages,
or its equivalent: at this time they to u
very large extent are for higher wages.

were in line and ON the alert. Every
eye was turned toward the spot
from which the deatening sound
came. A brilliant blaze lighted up the
hill behind the tents. No word was spoken
save the whispered commands of Captain
Neach, to be on the lookout and fire low.
After standing at the barricade for II few
minutes no further demonstrations were
made, and the company again returned to

surrounding hills ana find the cause of the
explosion. On the top of the second hill, IN
the rear of the camp, they found quart
bottle filled with giant or blasting powder,
primed and fused with u miners fuse.
On the ground near was found another
fuse, which exploded similar bottle, and
pieces of glass were found scattered over "a
space of twenty or more feet. Captain
Neach has the bomb now in his posses ion,
and it will now remain with the company
as trophy The purr ,se of the attack on

was the purpose of those who attacked him
TO stun and then throw these bombs into

necessary for the convictS to escape, and
at the same time destroy the building.

WAsHINGToN, March 13.-The Post says
Mr.. Thomas A. Edison has filed an applica-
tion for patent for his invention of tele-
graphing from moving train. Last Oc

same as Mr.. Edison's, for the latter tele-
graphs from the roof of the car to wires
upon a pole, while Mr.. Phelps proposes to
lay wire along the track between two
rails, and telegraph from the bottom of
the car The principle, however, is the

THE ASHLAND HORROR.
Evidence Accumulating That viii Prove
the Innocence of Neal, Craft
and Ellis,

and Ellis.
ASHLAND, KY, March l0..-The horrible
murder on Christmas eve, 1881, when three
children were murdered here, which re-
suited in lynching and the killing of
nearly forty people afterward, is recalled
again by developments about to be made
which will demonstrate that Neal, Craft
and Ellis were innocent of the crime
for which they were hanged. For
some time several philanthropic gentle
men, some of whom never saw this town
have been employing detectives to sift
every theory and investigate every clew
Their work has been crowned with the
greatest success, and the arrest of the real
criminals will soon follow. The evidence
against them is conclusive and will show
that the triple murder was committed early
i'll the evening; that the perpetrators
went to the house by appointment
with one of the girls, who had pre-
viously been on intimate terms with one of
them, and that the triple murder followed
an unintentional killing of the boy for re-
sistlng assaults on the girls. The arrests
will soon be made, and would have been
made before but for the excited state of
public feeling here on the subject The
parties, as has been limited many times be-
fore, hold very respectable places.

A Bin DefaIcation.

VNoENNEs, IND, March 10--An exami-
nation Of the books, concluded this fore
noon, shows an approximate shortage
against County Treasurer Hollinsworth of
s'S,AsSS. Everybody is dumbfounded and
mortified at this gigantic expose. Hol-
iinsworth was a prosperous and wealthy
farmer when he took possession of the
treasurer's Office. What he has done with
this immense sum of money puzzles every
body. The conjecture is that it has been
squandered in margin gambling and in q
woman affair, over which Hollinsworth
has had one suit in court. Ex-County
Treasurer W. W. Berry has been installed
IN charge of the treas urer'S office.
