The Striking Miners.

special from Punxsutawney, Pa, says: One
thousand five hundred miners are out on q
strike at the Watson and Adrian mines for an
increase in wages. Yesterday the company
brought 800 men from Buffalo, Rochester and
Bradford After arriving the men refused TO
go to work, believing the miners justified in
the stand they had taken. Most of the men re-
turned to their various homes. The company
claim to have 400 negro miners on the way
here from their mines ia West Virginia Every
thing is quiet, but trouble is expected. At 8
o'clock last night a crowd OF Italians stopped at
the residence of John w. Brown and asked for
a drink of water. An alteration occurred.
when Brown fired two shots into the crowd,
one bullet hitting Joseph Jecota in the right
eye, killing him instantly. Brown guarded his
residence all night and gave himself up to the
authorities this morning. The Italians are
much exercised over the shooting.

There was . dark spot on the r;cht-hand edge
OF the weather map this morning marked
"iow," and all around IL were black spots. 10
represented the presence Of q storm Of unusual
fury on The Atlantic coast, and the wind

ExTENT AND DURATION OF THE DISTURBANCE
The little summer novel printed in the cor
ner Of the map informed folks that the storm
prevailed from Hatteras to Maine, with its
center Of Cape Henry. High winds were pre-
vailing from the northwest on the New England
and middle Atlantic coasts, and would prob
ably continue during the day, increasing OF
Cape Cod and diminishing in force from New
Jersey southwark
PROMISE OF BETTER THINGS.
Then followed this prediction for the District
Of Columbia and the surrounding portion Of
the earth:
Rain on the coast, clearing in the interior,
northwest winds, no change in temperature.
All Of which indicates a belief on the part OF
the weather man that the big storm is going 10

STRONG WINDS.
Last night the wind blew at Block Island at
the rate Of As miles an hour, at Philadelphia
So miles and at Washington l6 miles. In this
city the temperature this morning was &C, or
two degrees lower than il was yesterday at the
same hour.
In the popular parlancs this atmospheric
disturbance is what is known as the equinoctial
storm, which is supposed TO be caused by the
fact that the sun Is now engaged in getting
ready TO cross the equator.
THE PENNSYLVANIA EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS.
There were reports this morning Of earth

Is it an EQuinoctial Storm?

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
sPRINo LAKE BEACH, N. j., September 10.
The weather bureau recently proved to its
own satisfaction that there was no such thing
as an equinoctial storm. Old-style men still
cling to the idea that nine years out of ten
heavy storm prevails in the month Of Septem-
Der, somewhere in the last three weeks.
opine none expect it on the exact day. Ap-
parently to confirm them in that theory and
to confound the weather bureau, one of the
heaviest gales and rains is now visiting the
Jersey coast. To add to the bureaus humilia-
ton it predicted for today in New York, eastern
Pennsylvania and New Jersey fair weather, while
we are rendered uncomfortable by said heavy
northeast storm. OBsERyEp.

Richard Fitzgerald was arrested at Pittsburg
yesterday afternoon charged with the murder
of his wife while he yet stood on the brink of
her grave at the close Of the funeral ceremo-
mics. Mrs. Fitzgerald died very suddenly Sun
day night and under peculiar circumstances.
The funeral was set for this morning, but was
by order of the city officials pending

making the examination discovered that the
woman's death had been caused by cruel treat
ment One Of Fitzgerald's children stated that
on last Saturday night his father had brutally

IL Was Not An Eartbouake.

1t turns out that the "Rumbling and grinding
noise" which startled the 500 employees in the
immense pulp and paper mill Of Van Nortwick
q Rogers, at Florence, Wis, Saturday last was
not caused by an earthquake. The disturbance
was caused by the rush Of water into q crevioe
in a rock upon which the foundation Of the
mill stood, and the force Of the water was so
strong as to move the foundation The idea
of an earthquake is absurd
