rived for the non union workmen to quit
work at The Solar iron worke, Pittsburg,
Pa, yesterday afternoon, large crowd OF
the strikers and their friends gathered in
the vicinity of the nil. A few minutes af
ter o'clock thirty of the negroes under the
protection of squad of twenty-five police
men made their appearance. They were
greeted with cries of "back sheep" and
'scab." but no attention was paid to the an
cry crowd. The procession started down
Smallman street, followed by the mob,
which steadily increased in size until the
street for square was black with people
At the corner of Thirty third street stones
commenced to fly and it began to look dan
gerous, but the officers promptly turned on
the crowd and drove them back, after which
they escorted the colored men to their
homes. Three trips we're necessary to get
all the men from the mill, and the same
scenes were repeated each time. a number
of persons, including the non unionsls and
onlookers, were slightly injured by being
hit with stones and other missiles, but no
one was seriously hurt. Officer Friedman,
whom it was alleged fred the shot that
struck young Kenny, was arrested last night

fine physical condition can do for a man

Well, may be SO, neighbor; but isn'tit
qnite as likely that If Mr.. Conkling hadn't
been so robust a specimen of manhood
he never would have been sickP 1t
seems pretty clear to us that nobody but

have attempted to walk tivermiles in the
blizzard that fell upon New York last
month. We have made a pretty close
study of Mr.. Conkling; we admire him
deeply-our admiration of his integrity
and of his splendid intellectual acumen
and force amounts to veneration. Yet
he had a weakness and that weakness
was his %o'erweening passion for exercise.
