A Miners's Strike.

pUSXsurAwNEY, Pa, December l6.- About ten days ago the miners on the Walston and Adrian, numbering nearly ilou. hold meeting here and decided to strike if certain demands were not com piled with. The company, according to a prior agreement, was entitled to fourteen days notice of strike, Tho men immedi- ately notified the company, and President Merchant promised to consult tho Direc- tors. but since then tho company has been preparing for strike by permitting the fires to die ou, in the coke ovens, and in stead of waiting until the fourteen days were up notified the men that they wer, discharged. Unless compromise bo ef fected, n long and stubborn strike will be the result, If an attempt is made to evicl the miners from their homes or put a new set of men into the mines, there is likely to be serious trouble.

Fate from Electricity.
 TOLEDO, O., December ls.This morning Robert $. Dalton, painter employed by the Lake Shore road, went to tho top of tho train shed to measure skylight for re- pairs. He was missed couple of hours afterward and the foreman climbed to tho roof to investigate. He was mortified at seeing the body of Dalton lying on his back across two electric light wires and tho smoke curling up from his burning clothing and flesh. The odor fairly sickened him, and, seeing that Dalton was dead, he at once descended to the freight office and telephoncd in to have the current shut of so the body could be removed It pre- sented horrible spectacle.
 His face was black, and from his mouth great flakes of foam had fallen over his face and on to the roof His left arm, which was fcartully burned above the lef, elbow, was drawn close up to his side. the elbow bent, and across his back were two burnt strips about three inches wide, where he had touched the wires. It is sur missed that in walking on the roof he slipped, and, in endeavoring to catch him self, backed up against one of the wires over which he fell, his shoulders striking on the other wire, while his back, just al the base of the spine, rested over the wir, where he first fell. His clothing was wet from rain and made an excellent conductor, and receiving as he did the complete force of tho current from two wires, his death must have been instantaneous
 Dalton was sober, industrious man, aged 10, living in Elkhart, Ind, where he has wife and child His body was sent there this evening

CONVICTED OF MURDER
Coughlin, O'Sullivan, Bourk
 and Kunze Found Guilty.
THE PENITENTIARY FOR LIFE
Begss Is Acquitted, Kunxe Gets Three Years. and the Rest of the Gang Arc to bc Imprisoned for
 Lifc-Closing Scenes.

CHICAGO, H., December 17.-The attor- neys on both sides were notified by the Judge that verdict had been reached and that their attendance at court was desired, at p. m. yesterday. Sheriff Watson dis patched five bailiffs to conduct the defend ants to the courtroom to receive the yer diet of the jury. Some trouble was ex- perienced in finding all the attorneys for defense, as it was necessary that the coun- sel of the various defendants be in attend ance before tho verdict was announced. THE VERDICT. The verdict of tho jury is as follows: We, the jury, find the defendant, John F. Beggs, not guilty.
 We, the jury, find the defendant, John Kunze, guilty of manslaughter, as charged in the indictment, and fix his punishment at Imprisonment in the penitentiaty for a term of three years.
 We, the jury, find the defendants Dan Coughin, Patrick O'Sullivan and Martin Bourk guilty of murder in tho manner and form as charged in the indictment and fix the penalty at Imprisonment in tho Pcni- tentiary for the term of their natural lives.
 POLLING THE JURY. Mir. Forrest of tho defense at once re- qucsted that tho jury be boiled, and this was ordered by tho Court. To each juror tho question was put by tho clerk of tho court: Was this and is this now your verdictr' Foreman Clarke was the first man to rise and answer firmly in the affirm ative. Tho eleven men followed in turn and gave the same answer.
 pEMEASoR or THE pgrESpANrs. Simultaneously with the announcement of the verdict Coughlin, O'Sullivan aud Bourk turned dcathly pale. while Kunxe started suddenly from his seat and mo. ment later dropped his head upon his breast and burst into tears. Beggs' face was luminous with joy and immediately after the polling of the jury he arose from amid the prisoners, walked over to the jury box and, during the breathless lull that fol. lowed, shook Foreman Clarke's hand heart fly and said.
 "Gentlcmen, thank you. I trust that the future may confirm your judgment upon me, and that you will never regret that you found me not guilty of this terrible charge" !"
 As he shook hands with the jurors each man bowed his head in acknowledgment of the grateful words of the liberated man. The only sound that broke the stiffness was the deep sohs of the little German, fuuzc. He burst out with
 God knows am innocent. never was In Iakeview that night. Oh, God knows am innocent, gentlemen
 O'Sullivan was the only one of the tho other thrce prisoners who found refuge in tears, For moment they trichled down his checks, but minute later his black eyes flashed with defiance or revival of courage, and dashing his hand across his brow, he braoed up in his seat and cast long glance around the court room.

The best vaudeville entertainment ever
given in Cheyenne was presented to an
appreciative audience of fair dimensions
by the Leavitt Specially and Novelty COM
pany at the opera house last evening.
There were signs of satisfaction from the
attendants from the time the clever Tills
introduced their ~marionettes until the
wonderful Japs ceased their marvellous
juggling. The company carries no sticks
and each member is first-class in his or
her line.
The dancing Donnells are agile and
graceful, the comIcal Avones very gro
tesque acrobats; sisters Milton charming
and Duncan is without doubt the greatest
living ventriloquist. The Pylades, Euro
pean innovators, are artists; Farrell and
Wilmot, song and dance men, scored a
hit, while Jules Keller, the pedro
manual phenomenon" has ~miraculously
muscular arms and is really a physical
puzzle. Mcintyre and Heath are pre-,
miers in burnt cork business, and the
Gilleno's were ex :ecdingly good as the
musical clowns.
The famous Conried Opera company is
underlined for Feb. 4.
