HUNS NOT EAGER TO DIE.
THE FIRM FRONT OF THE POLICE
CALAIS THEIR RAGE.

Timely Notice Given that the Next
Volleys will Not be Fired Over Their
Heads The Executive Board of the
Knights Of Labor Indorses the
Strike.
SHENANDOAH, PA, Feb. 6.--No violence
occurred here tonight when the working
miners started home. There was abundant
disposition on the part of the strikers 10 re-
peat the scenes Of Friday and Saturday,
but they were overawed by the formidable
preparations of the coal and iron police,
Sheriff and City Burgess. Added to this
were the efforts of their priests and
some of the better class among the Polish
and Hungarian miners. There is no
question that il violence had been
attempted much bloodshed would have re-
suited because the coal and iron police filed
six cars when they came on the scence. and
every man carried a Winchester rife. They
had given out word that there would be no
more firing over the heads Of the mobs, in
asmuch ms that did not frighten them. The
Sheriff had fifty men with Winchesters,
and the City Burgess had a formidable
force also, so not blow was struck.
BLOCKED WITH COAL CARS.
WILKEsBARRE, PA, Feb. 6.--Notice was
received here to-day by the coal operators
not to ship any coal TO Philadelphia on ac-
count of the crowded condition of the
North Pennsylvania railroad tracks be-
tween Bethlehem and Philadelphia, which
are said to be full of loaded coal cars. The
production in the Wyoming Valley is enor-
nous, and the output will now have to be
sent to New York and Buffalo. Prices
dropped dollar per ton at tho breakers
here to-day.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 6--The first regular
session of the General Executive Board Of
the Knights of Labor that has been held
this year was begun at the headquarters Of

ably continue for at least ten days. There
were present Messrs. Barry, Bailey, Carle-
ton, Mcclure and Secretary Hayes, leaving
only Mr.. Powderly and Ira Aylesworth alb
sent The session lasted until o'clock this
evening, and while it was a secret one, it was
learned after the adjournment th ii the
Board had indorsed the strike of the Read
ing railroad employees, both the railroaders
aud miners, and that moral, if not fnan-
cial, aid Of the order would be brought to
bear in favor of the strikers. There were
ten representatives of the miners and rail-
readers before the board at different
times during the day and their side
of the struggle was fully presented to the
members. General Master Workman Pow
derby, it was expected, would be present at
to-day's session, but at the last moment his
physician forbade him leaving Scranton.
He is expected to arrive tomorrow or by
Wednesday at the latest.
A meeting Of the Executive Board of the
Philadelphia and Reading railroad strikers
was held Tonight at which three sub-com-
mittees Of two members each were ap-
pointed 20 solicit aid for the strikers. One
of these will travel through the East, and
another through the South and a third
through the West. This action was
prompted by the action of the General
Executive Board in indorsing the strike.

A BANK UNDER A CLOUD.
After Vascillating on the Brink of
Ruin 1t Plunges Over

NULL IL lule Co ONSA
CINCINNATI, Feb. 6.--The Metropolitan
Bank directors held session this morning
at 10 O'Clock. Pending the meeting the pay
ment of checks was suspended and long
line of depositors gathered, reaching from
the payers desk TO the street in a very
few minutes, however, the payment of
checks began. Vice President DeCamp's
resignation was accepted by the directors,
and Louis Kropen was chosen in his place.
There was more than the usual demand
upon the bank all day, but at the clearing
house it was only $4,000 behind. While
bankers agreed that the bank was solvent,
they recognized the fact that it could not
meet every possible demand in a day, so
eight of the banks loaned it $25, 900 each.
OJher offers we're declined. The objections
made to Mr.. Decamp, the retiring Vice
President, was that he had been speculating
too much in real estate.
At Toledo to-day two mortgages on
Toledo property were filed, representing
$4,000 each, by John r. Decamp and by
Decamp & Means to the Merchants National
Bank of Cincinnati.
The Metropolitan directors passed reso-
luton after o'clock tonight, however, to
suspend. The bank is now in the hands of
the government Vice President J. R. De
camp has been arrested.

no further trouble at the Solar Iron Works,

force of men Over 100 men, all colored,
were at work in the mill oday, and the

operation within the next few days. The
mill and yards are closely guarded by senti-
nels and police, and no person, not even a

death to the non-union men and hint of
firing the mill. Young Kenna, who was

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Senator Stanford,
of California, has written the following
letter to constituent who asked his reasons
for voting for the confirmation of Mr..
Lamar as a Justice of the United States
Supreme Court:
Your letter asking my reasons for voting for
Mr.. Lamar is received. | voted for him because
| considered him one of the best men in the
South for the place. He is IN my judgment a
broad, liberal minded man of great deal of
learning. He was a professor of law in the
university in Mississippi. think he is a
thoroughly converted Unionist, and l do not
think it wise to reject any one on the ground
alone, that they were engaged in the late rebel
lion. ] think that we want to be one people,
politically and socially, Gen. Grant expressed
the idea when he said; let us have peace. -
Mr.. Lamar's loyalty and integrity TO the Union
was passed upon conclusivey when both houses
of Congress provided for the succession to the
Presidency. and made him an heir, only few
removes from the Presidency. / am reluctant

FIXING UP A SCALE.
Coal Miners to be Governed by the
Convention's Decisions.


Coal Miners to be Governed by the
Conventions Decisions.
PITrsBURG, Feb. 6--The Scale Commit
tee of the Coal Operators and Miners Con-
vention is in session here From the out
look IL would seem as though no difficulty
will be found in arranging the scale, as the
operators do not express any intention of re-
ducing wages in any part of the country.
and the miners do not ask an advance. If the
matter is not settled to-day however, it
will be left for the general convention which
opens here tomorrow. The joint
scale which the association is to
renew this year is known as the
Columbus agreement, because at that Ohio
city two years ago the formation was
broached. Previous to this there had been
numberless quarrels between the operators
in Pittsburg and the Hooking Valley owing
to the charge of the Pittsburg operators
that they paid higher wages and larger
could not well compete in the same markets.
CAUSES OF COMPLAINT.
Both these districts complained against
the Indiana and Southern Illinois miners
working for less money. At the same time
there was a running quarrel between the
Federation of Miners and Mine Laboreis
and the knights of Labor. Prior to the
Columbus meeting wages varied from Soc.
in one district to 69c. in Plttsburg, while
the Hooking Valley miners mostly worked
on agreements.
The beneficial effect of this agreement
was such that at the last convention wages
were advanced to 74c. in this district and
69c. in the Hooking valley, and again in
November last to zoe. and 74c. A unifora
scale for dead work was projected and il
now being put into use. Important sanitary
rules promoting better government of the
mines and safety to the employees were in
troduced. The agreement now affects in
the neghborhood of $4,000 miners and 700
