TWELVE BODIES RECOVERED
Yesterday-A Big Strike Imminent
Among the LaboFers Engaged in
Clearing Away the Debris,
They Want More Pay

JoHNsTowS, Pa, June l9,-The visit
Of Governor Beaver and the food com
mission to this place to-day has borne
practical fruit. The visitors met the
finance committee OF the Citizens Relief
Committee at Alma Hall and discussed
the situation in all It's details, The
commission expressed itself as amazed
at the extent and completeness Of the
devastation and pledged itself TO render
the citizens Of the place all the aid in It's
power. The local committee presented a
list toftheir wants and after canVassing the
demands the Commission authorized the
immediate purchase, on It's arrival OF 800
Of the Chicago ready-made houses on Its
account, and also the erection Of all the
store buildings that may be asked for by
local merchants. The Governor and
Commission proceeded Immediately to
their special train upon the adjournment
OF the conference and departed for Ores
son, whence they will depart for y trip
through the other devastated districts OF
the State.
The morgue reports to-day show II
bodies recovered. They were badly de-
composed and unidentified.
A big strike Is imminent among the
laborers employed upon the public
works here. Trouble has been brewing
for several days in consequence, not
only OF the scarcity OF the food supply,
but OF the poor quality OF the rations
furnished, as we'll dissatisfaction with

night at a meeting OF the Booth 4 Finn
men who are especially dissatisfied.
They appointed q committee Of five TO
wait upon General Hastings and request
his good offices on their behalf. The
committee called upon the General, and
made a long statement Of their grieV.
ances. They claim that they have had
nothing 10 eat since morning, and that
the food they do get Is Of an inferior
quality. They also say that although
they engaged To do work at the rate Of
81 80 per day, they are required
TO work on the DRIFT at night
without extra pay when they are
entitled to an extra days pay for the
same. They also claim that they should
have 81 70 per day, and requested Gem
eral Hastings TO intercede with their
employers in their behalf, threatening TO
strike II their demands are not complied
with. General Hastings promised to
bring the matter to the attention Of the
contractors, but told them that was all
he could do. 1t Is generally believed
that the action taken presages Of gen.

Europe is unable to furnish IN answer.
Those who speak for the government

that there will be no war. These are
the assurances that come from Berlin,

The Powers most directly affected by

Austria, and however sincere may be

PLOURISHED PISTOL
Chief Graves and an Ex'Employs Have a

WASHINGTON, D. O., June l0,-It il
very seldom that a high appointing Off

seeker or an ex.oiIiCe holder who calls. tc
talk business, but such thing occurred
last Thursday evening,
Mr.. Graves, the Chief OF the Bureau ol
Engraving and Printing, drew a revolver
and presented 1t at NJ. i, Jackson, an ex'
employe OF the Bureau. Jackson Is an
old soldier with cippled arm, For FIVE
orsix years he was a watchman at the
Bureau OF Engraving and Printing, but
about two years he was he was summar-
lily dismissed and he has since been try.
ing TO earn a living by keeping a second

nue., near Eighteenth street,
Jackson was dismissed for another
mans delinquency, which was after
wards admitted, He is not OF present
an applicant for office, but 1t occurred to
him that emight have occasion to look
for something, and in that case II would
be awkward TO have II recorded against
him that he had been summarily dis
missed. So he went to ask Mr.. Graves
to correct the record, In doing this he
cast some reflections upon Sub,Chlef
Sullivan aud King, Captain Of the
Watch, These Mr., Graves refused to
hear, and he ordered jackson to leave
the house. Jackson fred up and called
Graves q coward, saying at the same
time, that it was only because they stood
under Graves own roof that Graves did
not get a thrashing on the spot,
The Chief rushed TO the bureau and
drew a revolver which he pointed at

A Sen.Ible Ks,ponse.

WASHINGTON, D, G., June l9,-The at
tention Of the Superintendent of the
Census, Mr.. Porter, was to-day called to
the letter recently sent by the United
States Civil Service Commission to the
President in which they ask that ap'
pointments Of the census Office employees
be made through the commission, and
suggesting that preference bs Given, to
the employees Of the last census. Mr.
Porter said that he was certain 1t was
the intention Of the trainers Of the law
not to place the census office under the
civil service law. Tho principal reason
for this, he said, was that the great bulk
Of the census employees were employed
for a short period, and It was conceded
that It would be wholly improper 70
bring people from distant points to this
city for q service lasting probably mol
longer than six months.

This Time He LOses u Game for Hamilton
APoor E1hibitiou-otheF Games.
Wheeling closed a nine.game series ol
home games yesterday by administering
crushing defeat to Hamilton. Jack
Gallagher, OF Bellaire, who was released
by Hamilton, signed by Wheeling and
released after one trial, went in the box
again for Hamilton, for a final trial with
that club. He did not show any I'M
proVemeIt; he was as wild as ever, but
his erratic delivery intimidated the
Wheeling boys to such an extent that
only one hit was made of him up to the
seventh inning, while fve runs were
rolled up on errors. During that time,
while Hamilton hit Miller freely, only
four runs were scored by them.
In the seventh however, Wheeling got
in wholesale assortment OF runs. Gal
lagher helped them along materially by
giving four Of them in succession bases
on balls and making wild pitch or two.
He was also hit four imes,in that inning.
All this combined with some very rank
fielding on the part OF Hamilton, netted
ten runs.
shoup played short with one hand, as
his right hand was in no condition to
play ball, His numerous errors, there
fore, are somewhat excusable.
Dunn wentinto the box in the seventh,
and having big lead did not exert
himself, Higgins finished the game for
Hamilton, and was hit freely. Daring
the time Miller was in tho box he made
very fair impression. He Is quite
tricky in handling the ball, and with a
little practice bids fair to become fairly
good man for the box. He was relieved
by Dunn for the reason that the game
was practically won, and 1t was not
policy 10 wear Miller out 80 that he
would be tired and sore to-day.
During the game Brewer, who was
playing in left, tielded ball rather
slowly, and being censured by Capt.
Shoup for his listless work began To
swear. Shoup held up his fingers with
the remark, 'oThat will cost you flve.n
