NO CREDIT TO STRIKERS.
POttsvilIe Merchants Refuse to
Sell Goods to the Strikers on

louisville Merchants Refuse to
Sell Goods to the Strikers on
Time.
PoTTsvILLE, Pa, Jan. 3O.-The small
traders and merchants have been put to
many curious devices to avoid giving
further credit to strikers. Such whole
sale merchants as are located here are
given small orders, principally in the
way of meats, but told not to ship it.
The merchants themselves send a horse
and sleigh to fetch it, generally under
cover of night, and take it in through
the back entrances and keep it in cellars
and back rooms. When strikers come
in to buy on credit, the dealer stretches
his conscience sufficiently to say that he
has not the required article. A cash
customer can get it, but it must be done
ON the quiet, and is delivered at the
house just as it is brought from the
wholesalers.

The 4th of August was celebrated by a
barbecue at Judge Dinger's grove. While
the barbecue was not as great a success as it
might have been, yet there is great credit
due to the managers, who had prepared a
grand feast of good things. In the afternoon,
at the Clippers grounds, a match game OF
ball was played between Pennington and
