York and Cleveland Gas Coal company
at Turtle Creek, three miles from here.
which has continued since May /. is not
yet settled. A meeting of the miners,
which was held Friday night, ended in
almost riot, and a number of people
were hurt, though none seriously. A
minority wanted to return TO work at
the company's compromise and this
caused bad blood.
Another meeting was held Sunday
night and committee was appointed to
20 to Superintendent Dearmit and as
certain the best terms he would offer.
The committee conferred with the su.
perintendent, who offered the miners
compromise, which was declined, and il
was decided that no meeting will be
called until May /. 1891. unless il is fes
quested by the company or by twenty
miners.
The company will attempt TO start up
the mines with other men and It Is
feared there will be trouble. The strike
of 1900 employees in the Westmoreland
and Pennsylvania Gas Coal companies
mines at Irwin has also been on eince
May !. An epidemic of typhoid fever
has broken out among the miners and
over sixty serious cases are reported.

Britain @1,s50,0
LONDON, Aug. e6.--Iti is estimated that
the accidents to various warships during
the recent naval maneuvers has cost the
government 81 ,250,000. The evolutions
were remarkably unfortunate in this re-
spect, some of the NEST extraordinary
collisions and other mishaps occurring
either as the result of inefiiciency on the
part Of the men or faults in the con-
strnction of the vessels. And despite
the enormous costliness of the ,naneuv-
ers the naval journals ridicule the
whole affair as fiasco. No shots were
exchanged, and, in fact, the opposing
sections of the fleet did not sight each
other during the whole period of their
supposed engagement.
The critics severely condemn the adj
miralty for allowing such slovenly work
to be done by the feet, and on every
side are heard indignant complaints Of
corruption in the bureau of naval con
struction. 1t is charged that the deteri-
oration noticeable in the service is only
the natural and Inevitable effect Of the
system of iobbery which prevails at
headquarters. The only chance of re-
moving the scandal is declared by many
to be to separate entirely the eonstfuc-
tive from the operative departments,
and to make the acceptance of vessels
constructed by private builders con-
ditional upon their success in practical
trials.
