When the miners at work at Shenandoah
started for home on Friday evening of last
week, some Polanders attacked them with
stones. Six coal and iron policemen caught
one of the rioters and hustled him M the
street. He was rescued, and the officers
were roughly handled. They got away and
started back for Shenandoah City Mine, fol-
lowed by big crowd, which continued beat
ing the workmen and boys. The officers
again sprang to the rescue-six men against
crowd-and for short time they were sue
cessful. One officer took prisoner to a
magistrates office, but the others were being
badly beaten with clubs, and were down,
when they drew their revolvers and fred into
the crowd, which scattered. Three men we're
wounded, Michael Hebron badly A Dor.
ough officer then arrested both officers for
shooting in the borough. While they were in
the magistrates Office the crowd again gath
cred and stoned the building, and the inmates
had a hard scramble for safety. Some bruis.
ed bodies resulted, but no serious damage
was done except to the offices, which were
wrecked. Sheriff Duffy at night swore in
the three FIRE companies of the town as
posse comitatus. Chief Burgess Boehm was
also directed to swear in special officers.
Another riot occurred on Saturday evening.
in which several of the strikers were killed
and wounded.
Near Hamburg, Iowa, last Saturday night,
farmer named Tieson and his son concealed
themselves near the hog pen to watch for

fired upon them with a shotgun, Killing one
instantly. The other started to run, and was
shot down with 3 revolver and killed. The
dead men proved to be brothers named Ram
beau, neighbors of Tieson.

He Was Not To Be Fooled.
From Tie Chicago Nel0s.

Mr.. Edmund Clarence Stedman, the poet
banker, tells of an amusing experience he had
not very long ago. 1t seems that he was one OF
party of gentlemen that coming from a
meeting of the Authors club, dropped in at the
Hoffman house for liquid refreshment 1t was
late at night, and the party was singuarly
congenial one, composed of such kindred spirits
as W. ID. HowellS, Julian Hawthorne, i. b.
Aldrich, r. w Glider, and Mark Twain, While
these gentlemen were telling stories over their
hagonS and around one of those polished oak
tables with which Brother Stokes accommodates
his patrons, a very gentlemanly looking indivld-
ual made his appearance. and handing Mr..
Stedman his card, said: Pardon me, sir, but
as you appear to be very jolly set of fellows, |
should like to make one of your number" MIR.
Stedman glanced at the card and saw engraved
thereupon col. Ernest Fitzroy Leigh, Her
Majesty's Service" Col. Leigh explained soto
voce that his ship lay in the harbor, and that he
had come to town on a short leave of absence.
Il am sure" said Mr.. Stedman, cordially,
that these gentlemen will be glad to make
your acquaintance. "
Thereupon Col. Leigh, having first summoned
waiter to take the gentlemens orders, suffer
ed himself to be introduced to the party.
"Col. Leigh, this is Mr.. Julian Hawthorne,
the novelist, said Mr.. Stedman, land this is
Mr.. Thomas Bailey Aldricb editor Of the At
Idntic Monthly; this gentleman is Mark Twain,
the humorist; the gentleman to his right is Mr..
Glider, editor of the Century. and the gentle
man to his left is Mr.. w. D. Howells, the nov
elist And | am Edmund Clarence Stedman, a
poet. Now that we all know each other, let us
be friends"
The English officer. with that instructive cum
ming characteristic of his race. jumped at the
conclusion that this was all a fine joke being
played at his expense. He was not to be fooled
that was apparent from the SLY twinkle in his
eye and the slightly sarcastic mot to say skep-
ticaD smile that curled about the corners of
his mouth. But be was determined to take the
joke good-naturedly, and return, if possible, a
Roland for this Oliver.
Gentlemen" said Col. Leigh settling back
l. tf..Ft
the opportunity of meeting so many of the
most distinguished literati of this fair land. 1t
is proper, / think than on an occasion like this
l should cast off the incoguitio under which |
am travelling, in order that we may the more
unreservedly and with more genuine sympathy
interchange confidence. Know. then, that |
am not Col. Ernest Fitzroy Leigh of her majes-
TVS service, but Sir Walter Scott, author of the
'Waverly Novels'-!'

Beautify Your Town.

The citizens OF a town not far from
/ Washington think they can attract sum
mer vi itors TO it 10y planting trees along
the streets and around the houses, and in
this way adding TO its beauty. They are,
no doubt, right. The people Of this country
do not. as rule, pay enough attention to
bcautifyirg their towns. and when really
pretty one is found, if its surroundings are
healthful, it VIII be very apt to attract per-
sons in search of quiet and rest from the
cares Of city life.
4 trip through Georgia would probably
reveal the fact that comparatively few
! small towns receive much attention in the
way of adornnent. Their beauty is gener-
| ally that afforded 10y nature, and frequently
this is detracte1 from by decaying houses
and poorly Kept premises One trouble
with most Of them is that the people don't
feel able to expend their money on improve
ments, while the authorities, who, as a rule,
serve without pay, are not sufficiently in
terested to do their whole duty. Then there
are the croakers, who are found in every
locality-men whose chief occupation seems
to he 10 sit on the street corners and discOur-
age every laudable enterprise that is pro-
posed. A half dozen croakers can often kill
the efforts of a considerable number of en-
terprising men.
The adornment of town is a paying in
vestment, in whatever light it may be con
sidered 1t pays in the pleasure afforded by
pretty home. 1t pays i'll the enhancement
of property. 1t pays by attracting citizens,
visitors and investors
A person in search of temporary or per-
manent abode would not be greatly
attracted to the town whose houses
have a dlapjdated appearance, whose
streets in rainy weather are a
mud puddle, whose sidewalks are lined at
long intervals with trees, whose premises
are made ugly by falling fences, and whose
people roam about in a listless, half hearted
sort of way. Yet there are probably a
number Of such towns in Georgia. On the
other hand, if the citizens were to turn in
and paint their houses, plant shade trees,
keep the fences in order, or, what would be
better, take them away, and plant flowers
in the front yards; and if the officials were
to realize that by giving attention to pub
lie improvements they could after all make
their positions pay them something in the
increased attraction and value of their
property-if these things were done the
towns would contain more contented and
more prosperous people.
1t is a question if it would not be well to
have salaried officials in every town. In
that way, probably, a better set of men
would be selected, and more public spirit
shown by them. 1t would cost something,
but in all likelihood it would be money well
spent,

Mr.. Stevenson talk is very like his writing;

lightly, effectively with a brilliant diStiuctness,

is his mind, so alert his Imagination, that he
needs but hint and your tentative inquiry
draws forth series of observations full of nth

Walking Home with Mary.

From the Ne'C York Gazette.
In all the changing scenes of life,
Scenes that 50 widely vary,
I've never spent a happier hour
Than walking home with Mary.
How often as asboy, when life
Was young and glad and hearty,
By starlight | have seen her home
From singing school or party.
We knew not then how good they were,
The hours we passed together,
AS hand in hand with lightSome hearts,
We strolled across the heather.
Though since those days from Mary's side
To distant lands I've wandered,
The time I've spent away from her
To me seems vainly squandered.
Last night once more I saw her home;
The stars were blinking blindly
Through rifted clouds, but into mine
Her eyes were beamiDg kindly.
We talked of all the happy past,
OF pleasure long departed,
And both confessed that oft since then
We had been heavy-hearted.
And ere we reached her fathers home
told her how I'd missed her,
And while we fingered at the gate
STOPPED and fondly kissed her.
Before we parted twas agreed
Our paths no more should vary;
No more afar from her I'll roam,
I'm going to marry Mary.

Dividing the Sou bern White Vote.


Ex-Mayor Seth Low. of Brooklyn. thinks
the Republican party ought to take as its
objective point the dividing of the white
vote of the South. He says: "Why should
not the Republican party make such plat
form that its candidates can make cam
paign in the Southern States in the en-
deav,r in good faith to show the white men
in the South why they ought to work wi h
the Republican party
In taking such position, xMayor Low
virtually admits two things, viz, that his
party has not much to expect from the
Southern colored voters, ana thar its plat
forms have not been such as to commend
themselves to the Southern white voters.
There are strong reasons for both adInis-
sons. The Southern negro voters were
formely controlled by the Repub leans,
through the pet-basgers, and through
the negro ministers under the lead Of the
carpet-baggers, but they are no longer so
controlled. They have to great extent lost
interes in politics, and those who vet retain
enough inter st to vote are about as likely
to vote the Democratic as the Republican
ticket. AS for Republican platforms, they
have generally contained a bloody shirt
pla k and a protection plank, and they
will probably continue to contain them. If
they do they will not get much support in
the South, for the Southern people are not
in favor of perpetuating the animosities of
the war, nor do they desire a tariff that
makes a few rich men richer and many
struggling men poorer
The fact is, that while Mr.. Low may have
in his mind a platform that would be ac-
ceptable to part of the white people Of the
South, he would find much difficulty in
getting it adopted by his party. A Repub-
lican platform that would catch white votes
in the South would lose votes in the North.
The Republicans don't want to lose any of
their strength in the North, but they would
like 70 increase it enough in the South to
get control of the government. Other Re
publicans have suggested what Mr.. Low
now suggests, but the Republican party
isn't ready to adopt the suggestion yet Its
love for the bloody shirt will have to be-
come little less ardent first.

A Disputed Account in Denver Raises
Curious Point in Law.

From the Baltimore Sun.
The question of what constitutes hotel bill'
has just received solution from the Supreme
Court of Colorado. At the st. James hotel,
Denver, kept by Mr.. David Gage. a well known
Western ian llord, one of the guests was Mr.. J.
W. Hamm, and his fried, Mr.. T Nj. Patterson.
became responsible for Mr.. Hamm's "hotel
bill" in a written agreement, in which he said
II will be responsible for the hotel bill of j. w.
Hamm, and will see it paid in twenty days "
Hamm left without paying his bill, which was
for board from Sept - to Oct. 4, S42: extra
meals, S.; extra lodgings, 81, and bar bill,
S23 25; total, S72 q.
A couple of months after Hamm left Patter.
son was "dunned" for the amount of the bill,
and offered to pay the board bill, but refused to
pay that at the bar. He was sued for the
amount, and in the litigation that followed the
case got into the Colorado Supreme Court
where it was to be decided whether "hote
bill' includes unlimited bill at the bar for in
toxicants. The Supreme Court held that an
innkeeper is bound TO furnish board and lodg
ing to his guestS-what is necessary to their
health and comfort. All items of cost relating
to these necessarieS of hotel existence are in
cluded in the words hotel bill" BIT when it
comes to furnishing articles not necessary, the
phrase does not include their cost As the court
saws: "A hotel keeper is not bound to furnish
guests with liquors, cigars or billiards, and
therefore the including of such articles in a
hotel bill would not be expected or anticipated
by one contracting to pay the hotel bill of an
other. ~

Making Property Owners Responsible

Mr.. Edward Atkinson, of Boston, the
well-knOwn statistician, has lately made
some suggestions concerning the protection
of buildings and life from fire He holds
that most Of the destructive fires in public
buildings in this country are possible
by the defective construction of the in
terror of the buildings and that this is par
ticulerly true where elevators are used, as
in case of fire, every facility is given it to
reach the upper stories in the shortest posi-
BILE time.
Mr.. Atkinson says: 1--WE burn nearly two
hotels every day in the United States. We
destroy one hospital, asylum or almshouse
by fire every two weeks, usually with the
loss Of one or more hives. Some of our
Massachusetts public buildings are among
the most costly and dangerous examples of
this sort of combustible architecture. In
them hundreds of persons are now exposed to
danger. Aside from public buildings l
know Of large buildings in some of which
fires are certain to occur, and in which a
greater or less loss of life is equally sure to
follow if these fires occur in the day time"
For the improper construction of these
buildings Mr.. Atkinson holds the contract
ors partly, but the owners chiefly, RESPONSE
BILE. The owners, he says. should not en-
poy incompetent architects-"mere
draughtsmen. The remedy lies in legisla-
tive action. He declares that the owners
or lessees, who are responsible for these
dangerous conditions, should be liable in
money damages for every life lost and for
all injury done to persons.
Mr.. Atkinson will hardly succeed in hav-
ing his suggestion adopted soon, but by
keeping the subject before the public he
may at some time get Legislatures to favor
ably consider it, His statement that in
proportion as buildings are improperly con-
structed the danger of their destruction
from fire is increased is no doubt correct.
If railroads are held responsible for losses
| from accidents resulting from improperly
constructed bridges, road bed or rolling
stock, why should not architects, builders
and owners of buildings be held responsible
for losses Of life and property, which result
| from faults in the construction of buildings
| If this liability attached to those who con
struct or own buildings, there would be a
very perceptible decrease in the number OF
buildings destroyed by fire. Owners OF
many instances, depend upon insurance
| companies to save them from loss in case OF
| fire

Hitherto" says the New York Ercning
Post, "thc South has appeared to be more
fortunate than the North in the matter of
Legislators. Almost everywhere in the
North people have come to expect POOR
type OF men tor lawmakers, and in conse-
quence a poor quality of Legislative work
But in the Southern States the traditional
habits of electing men Of high character
have been generally maintained" 1t has
been remarked frequently by people who
have had opportunities for forming opin-
ions, that the South sends better men to
