OLD DURHAM IS AROUSED.

Unknown Parties Cruelty Assert Their
 Hatred for Henry Francis.
 The quiet old town of Durham is boil ing over with indignation at the work of some miscreants who have been commit ting various acts of deviltry there of late. A Durham citizen, who was in New Haven yesterday, said that on Wednesday night Francis's creamery, in his village, was entered. Some butter was spoiled and milk spilled on the floor. Then the rascals went to the barn connected with the estab- 1ishment and clipped off the forelock, mane and tail of horse, but did not otherwise injure the animal. Then they took the wheels from blackboard, placing one in mill pond and leaving the others where they stopped when sent rolling away.
 From there they went to the home of Henry Francis, owner of the creamery, and cut the dashboard out of his buggy. It was thought by the people that the mis- chief was done in sport by boys, but MT Francis is positive that the work was done by some enemy of his. He will employ the services of detective, and reasoning that the nature of the damages at both places indicates that the acts were per formed by some person we'll acquainted with horses, he thinks he has an important clue The citizens are willing to tar and feather the culprit if he can be caught.

THOUSANDS ON STRIKE.

Iron Manufacturers and the eAmalgamated
 Association Unable to Agree Upon a
 Scale-Great Numbers of Men Involved.
 PITTsBURG, June SO.-The last conference between the iron manufacturers and the scale committee of the Amalgamated Associ- ation of Iron and Steel Workers prior to the expiration of the present. scale was convened at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. After a brief conference the meeting adjourned without effecting settlement of the wage question for next year.
 About nine-tenths of the Amalgamated sub-lodges declared against the manufacta urers' scale of s for boiling iron. The man. ufacturers, in turn, refused to consider the Amalgamated association's scale of $5. 50 for boiling, and thus the matter rests.
 To-day at noon all employees in mills gov. erned by the amalgamated rules quit work indefinitely. In Pennsylvania, about 39 ,00d men are directly affected, and in the mills west of Pennsylvania about 75, 900 men arc made idle. Among those indirectly affected are the furnace men, ore miners, coal and coke operators, railroads, etc.
 At 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon tele gram received at Amalgamated association headquarters, announced that the. Junction Iron company, at Mingo Junction, hav' signed the amalgemated scale.
 The secretary of the Newport Ry.) Irol and Steel company sends denial to thu Western Iron association that their firm con template signing the amalgamated scale, a was previously announced.

action the bill was Laid aside, to allow discus sion of the joint resolution extending appro- priations for thirty days.
 After long discussion, in which the house was condemned for dilatory action on appro- priat;on bills, the resolution was passed
 Discussion on the Hawley amendment td the army bill was renewed. Mir. Evarts ad' vocated the amendment
 Mir. Plumb doubted if the gun of the future would be made of steel at all. Iron and aluminium would succeed these metals. II the proposed plan was adopted he thought if would be changed within five years.
 Mr. Hawley said that if for very shame the American people were driven to war then the men who argued against the policy of providing guns would hide themselves The United States, with its 60. .000, 900 people, was monstrous mass of power, but against modern steel guns it was of no more account than Q dead whale.
 MT. Stewart spoke of the United States as a good fat goose, to be plucked by anybody in its present defenseless condition.
 MT. Cockren spoke in Q sarcastic vein of the fear and frenzy exhibited by the Con- necticut and Nevada senators about British red coats landing on American soil.
 MT. Stewart wanted to know if MT. Cock rell approved of Germany taking the Samoan Islands. The latter said that had nothing to do with the Qualifications of the United States. and, when pushed for an answer to the question, said the Samoan Islands had nothing more to do with the territorial integ. rity of the United States than Chinaman. Answer my question, persisted MT. Stew art.
 ''It is none of your business whether I dc or not" was MT. Cockrelps prompt reply. After Mr. Cockrell finished his speech Mir hot directly to MT. Cockrell-could scare Grea Britain there would not be any necessity fol this government having either army ol navy.
 The senate, without coming to vote oI l Mir. Hawley's amendment, adjourned.

 When he met Mellilo he said in Italian, ''So you are rogue, too" The party was then near the corner of Congress avenue and Commerce street. Claudio demanded some money and, in fact, stole Mellilo's pocketbook. A scuff1e followed and Claudio drawing a carving knife slashed Mellilo right and left with it. He was cut on the hands, arms, legs and head, ano when taken to the hospital itwas thought he would die. After months of treatment he recovered and was dismissed.
 A search by half dozen of policemen in and around the Italian rookeries on Hill and Oak streets failed to find the culprit
 He escaped to New York and took steamer to Italy the next day. Whil' over there he was married and curiously enough married the aunt of Mellilo, th man he stabbed
 On returning to New Haven last Monda. he sought out Mellilo and made up witl him He introduced his wife and the mar riage relations made them friends again Claudio made 8 proposition that he woul' give Mellilo $50 as satisfaction for the los of blood. Mellilo accepted and the tw' went to Attorney Harry w. Asher's ofic where an agreement to that effect wa drawn up and the money paid.

The Providence Bank Robbery.

PROVIDENCE, June 30.-Detective Parker and Cashier Johnson, of the Union bank, re, turned from Montreal yesterday. The dis patches from Montreal saying that the securi
 ties Pitcher had with him had been identified were misleading, in that they did not refer to the S700, 1000 worth of securities which Pitcher stole. The detectives secured about S13, 900 in money and securities, which repre- sent the sum Pitcher stole in cash, portion of the latter having been invested in bonds in Buffalo The alleged identification of securities means that the officers have traced the bond purchases thus made. The charge that Pitcher bought ticket for Mrs. Rob- erts is wrong. He assumed that name, and it happened that @ lady who bore it was ou the steamers list. Pitcher shows no remorse.
 He offered compromise to the bank officers, but his overtures were not favorably re- ceived. Parker does not see how Pitcher can be extradited, but the charge of bring. ing stolen money into the Dominion will be pushed, and for that the punishment may be as much as fifteen years imprisonment, al. though eight years seems more probable in this case. Pitcher told Parker that he had been thinking of the robbery for two years.
