The storm here is abating and the water
is receding. The storm center was Briga-
tine and Peters Beach, the later place
being the cause of much anxiety among
the inhabitants, who watched all day,
the Peters Beach House, about three
miles away, standing isolated out in
the ocean without any land visible around
it. Charles Smith, the proprietor
and his wife have boats ready in which
to escape in case the threatened collapse
of their house takes place. The founda-
tion was partly washed away yesterday.
A few people at Brigantine have been
almost entirely in boats since the storm,
their homes being submerged.

A .shut Downu Resolved On.

SCRANTON, Pa, March 22.-The Penn
sylvania Coal Company informed the
miners tonight that "shut down" had
been decided upon, to take place at once.
The suspension affects nearly 1000 men.
The officers of the company say that the
fshut down" is only temporary. Old
miners assert that in eleven years there
has not been so continued period
of dullness as at the present time.
For the past six months men have been
working quarter time. Their earnings
have not exceeded $15 month, and
have frequently fallen as low as Sc a
month. Miners, as rule, live in rented
houses, the monthly rent of which aver
ages from So to $S, leaving not more than
SO at best with which to support their
families.

TROUBLE RREWING.
Intense Excitement at Oklah0m
Among the Boomers.


ST. LOUIS, March ga special to the
Republic, from Wichita, Kansas, says
"Reports tonight from Oklahoma City
state that the hoomers who disappeared
from Il cir claims and lay in concealment
| in the woods OF the indian reservation,
have returned with the withdrawal
of the soldiers. Each train brings
hundreds that have been hanging along
ment at Purcell and on the border is in
tense, and people have left their bust
ness to hang around the telegraph
rison issuing his proclamation. The
number of boomers is augmented
by train ana wagon loads of would-be-
settlers and prospectors. They have
been expecting the proclamation each
day, and when the night comes, mutter-
iDgs of disappointment and lamentations
are heard on every hand. On the favor
able reports to-day they hardly know
what to say, as they have so often been
disappointed.
Col. Croker, who has labored to hold
back the invaders, stated that should
the President hesitate much longer there
would be bloodshed. There are 10000
white people in the Chickasaw
Nation alone waiting to take
up claims in the Territory, and disap-
pointment has followed disappointment
until they are becoming desperate. The
boomers are greatly agitated over the
Efforts to prevent them now from going
in. Prospectors who have recently
arrived, are taking the names of those
who have violated the provisions of
the bill by entering upon lands, and in
tend to appear against them to defeat
their filing. An old man, who had
watched piece of land for six years, |
to-day stated that band of almost
10, 900 old boomers had been formed and
the effort to dispossess any of
them would be death to the |
informant. This league, he says, is
secret, and growing in numbers each
day, and whether expelled or not, they
will hold their claims by force. The |
situation is certainly critical.
