Horace Greeley, the founder Of the New

Of his time. Shortly after the death Of
Mr.. Greeley large aud influential com.

The Labor Situation at Johnstown AS
sumes an Ugly Phase.
JoHNsTowN, Pa, June 20.--Sixteen bod
les were found today, and many OF them,
on account Of the advanced stage Of de-
composition, were promptly buried after
being completely covered with oil. The
stencil is becoming daily more sickening
and unbearable. A case of diphtheria
developed today. The victim is now at
the Red Cross Hospital. No other serious
cases were reported today. The Womans
Christian Temperance Union was today
privileged to open coffee stands for the
purpose Of supplying hot coffee free TO the
laboring men.
The first clear day here since the awful
calamity found work among the ruins par
TALLY suspended. and upon the same
ground where havoc so recently toyed
with millions OF dollars worth OF prop
erty and innumerable human lives capital
and labor are wrestling in a bitter and
threatening contest, and the quiet, sub
dued feeling which has prevailed since the
Hood Is giving way TO one OF unrest, dis
cord and danger. AS yet there has been
no open outbreak, but repeated breaches
OF the peace occurred during the day, and
tonight free fight occurred, in which
Joseph Trunser, Of Lawrenceville, was
assaulted and probably fatally hurt by
Tom Golfers, OF Philadelphia. Idle men
who can get intoxicated are drinking, and
tonight tho militia arc resting nervously
n thnnannIa at
fires that are burning holes into the gloomy
night are throwing Pickering and uncer-
tain light over a good sized army OF labor
ers burning up with desire TO mutiny.
II has been announced tonight that tho
strike which begun this morning has been
declared of and that 200 or more men
have been paid and discharged, but
the discharged men have as yet
refused 10 abandon tho place and
the authorities have announced that all
idlers must leave early in the morning,
else the militia will be called upon to
drive them away. In such an event Sc
rious trouble is contemplated. New men
are coming in on every train, and all the
contractors have agreed in the future 10
furnish their men with more and better
rations. II Is generally thought that n
the discharged men will leave here peace
ably no further trouble will follow An
unusual number Of visitors from all over
the State have been through the
ruins today, and everybody carried away
with them a relic OF the disaster. The
gang OF foremen among the strikers will
probably be quietly taken out OF town to-
night with view OF disorganizing and
leaving the striking laborers without lead
ers. This move Is creating no little confu.
sion. Dr. Foster today started subscrip-
ton for a monument 10 the unknown
dead. He proposes TO have the monu.
ment erected on a high eminence near
Prospect Hill and overlooking the unfor.u-
nate town

up further candidacy for the Governor

tho board for their confidence. lie says
his political aspirations were influenced by
numerous friends who believed that he
could serve the State as well, il not better,
in inaugurating fuller development OF in
dustries in the State and better utiiza-

His conviction is irresistible that the time
is opportune for Mississippi to get fully
abreast with other States in being bene-
fitted by great industrial prosperity. He
hopes his friends will consider the appeal
sufficient justification for withdrawal, and

support
