A Village Raided by Drunken
Tramps.

A gang of ten desperate tramps, full of
liquor came into Anneville Pa, late
Thursday night entered the saloon Of
Peter Bachman and with chairs and
spittOOns made general assault on the
proprietor and the few other men who
were there.
In short time the place was wrecked
and looted. An alarm summoned fifty
determined citizens who came armed /.
The half drunken aSsailants were like
wise armed with revOlvers and knives
and desperate conflict at once opened
between them.
Notwithstanding the great odds against
the rioters they kept in solid body and
fired several rounds into the citizens and
then attacked them with knives.
Five men were seriously cut and other
wise wounded. Adam BashOp a citizen
received a severe cash with a razor on
the cheek, his assailant having made q
frightful lunge at his throat with his
deadly weapon.
Henry Herr was stabbed in the breast
Adam johnson was wounded in the head
and Thomas Hennings received an ugly
cash in the head.
Two of the tramps were shot and cap
tured. They gave their name as Harting
and Senift. They are desperate looking
dark-skinned Germans.
The latter had been arrested ten days
ago by County Detective Kershner after
being brought down with revolver. He
escaped however and late Thursday when
Constable BOdenhern took him to Jail
Senift once more escaped. The wound
in his shoulder proved no Obstac lie to his
running and he escaped in the dark
ness.
The other desperate who was wounded
in the hip was locked up. The balance
of the gang escaped to the woods,

Wrangel. Some of them had not had
an opportunity to lie down once in COM
ing the whole distance and such swollen
ankles and knees and such abject misery

this movement were prominent saloon
keepers and gamblers of juneau who
boldly walked the streets and defes ar

lOnged to the gang) and although the

As the Sitka paper put it, the enemies of
Alaska in Congress knew nothing about
the country and unfortunately her
friends in the national capitol have not
the knowledge to correct the false state
ments of orr enemies. Some letters
come now addressed t. the United States

not enjoy having one Of the most prOmi-
nent members of the house state at the
last session of Congress that practically
there were no white people and no white

Lawless Alaska.
Its Mines and Its Crimes.

Mr.. John ]. Chieckering of Washing
ton who has just returned from visit to
Alaska gives some very interesting par
iiculars of affairs in that far away terri
tory. Speaking of the mining prospects
he said: THE mines are at present an
unknown quantity with the exception Of
some places at juneau and few other
places and the finely developed Treadwell
mine at Douglas Island. This is l be-
lfeve the biggest crusher in the wOrld-a
12O stamp-mill. The mine is owned by
Mr.. Treadwell who discovered it, Senator
Jones and some San Francisco capitalists
No one knows what it is paying but some
estimate as high as $4,000 monthly.
They have worked the sulphurets to great
advantage and Mr.. Treadwell showed me
pile Of greenish yellow dirt in one cor
ner of the yard which he said by actual
assay was worth $275,OOO. We brought
down $4,000 worth of gold bricks in the
steamer with us.
Has Alaska much Of white population
he was asked.
Yes, was the reply, there are some 1000
white people there now, Americans and
Russian half-breeds and there will be
many more whenever it becomes posi-
BILE to acquire any title to property there.
Under the existing state OF things no
man can acquire title to foot of
ground or stick of timber. The only
claim that can be taken up is a mining
claim. What few laws they have are
very imperfectly enforced and it has
been shameiully misgoverned country.
/ think that fact struck every visitor
there more fOrcibly than anything else.
Look at the eighty three chinaman whom
we took on board at Fort Wrengel after
they had been fred out of the Treadwell
mine put on board two little fishing

During the past year the Irish people

lions and extortions patiently. judi.
cial rents are becoming daily moro i'm
possible for the tenantry TO pay and
more unbearable. II is absolutely
hopeless to expect any redress from an
English Parliament. II is not in human
nature for the Irish tenantry to longer
refrain from helping themselves. The
landlords will fight for their rents with
fire, sword, or crow-bar, thus obliging
Lord Salisbury to pray Parliament to
assist the landlords by some new-fsn-
gled coercion act. Then will come the
tug OF war;"

people to combine and tender the Earl
Of Aberdeen grand ovation on the oc-

says that, in its opinion, another anti
