Not Reducing His Fat.

New YORK, April 18.-In an inter-
view last night ex-President Cleve-
land said of the Suns story that he
was under medical treatment for cor
pulency: 1.-THE whole story is lie.n
Regarding the frequent personal at
tacks upon himself, in the Sun, Mr..
Cleveland said he did not see them
but every time one appeared, dozen
cranks, more or less, would write to
him about it.
II know that the senile old liar,
Dana, has been at it again. There is
only one thing l care about these
attacks. 1t seems that Dana does not
confine his warfare to men, it is bad
enough for him to PRINT his lying
statements about myself, but it is in
tinitely more cOwardly and dastardly
for him to include my wife IN his at
tacks If Dana was not in his dotage
his raving would attract more atten-
ton"

4 Now Feature of the Strike.

PITTsBURG, April 1S.-Something
definite is looked for in the threat
ened strike of railway and switch
men today. John Downey, chief of
the federation of railway employees,
arrived from Chicago this morning
and IS now, at 8 O'clock, holding a,
conference with the men. He has
full power to act and after he has
seen the men and officials will an
nOunce his decision. A new feature
of the situation is the probability of a
strike of the street railway employees
at the same time. They have ten
dered their support to the switchm en-
and are considering the advlsability
of making a simultaneous demand for
higher wages. This would leave
Plttsburg entirely without transport
tation, through or from the city.

\ Battle With Outlaws.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April Is. - A
special to the Times from Harlan
court house, says, deadly fight &C.
Cured this morning at 1:20 o'clock,
II miles east of here, up in the Black
mountains, between a detail of state
troops, consisting of Is privates, Lieut..
Milton and Sergeant Pullian and about
80 outlaws who were fortified in an
old karn. Five of the soldiers were
wounded; it is not known how
many of the outlaws were killed.
The particulars as near as can be
learned are as follows: Yesterday af-
ternoon Capt. Garther who is COM
handing officer, was informed that
body of lawless men, some of whom
had been indicted for various offenses,
were fortified against the law at
above locality and had refused to sur
render to the civil authorities. He
was asked for a detail of his
men to 60 out with some of the civil
officers, for the purpose of arresting
them and he at once sent sixteen pri-
Yates in charge of Lieut.. Milton, Ser
They expected to find the men in a
beyond the barn, from which
they were fired upon, the attack
was not looked for at that point,
and came so unexpectedly, it demon
allied the soldiers for a moment or
two, but they soon rallied and sur
rounded the barn and began firing
into it from every direction, until it
was thought best to cease action and
hold the fort until reinfOrcements ar
rived with more ammunition. 1t is
believed that a severe fight will take
place as soon as additional troops
reach the place, for the outlaws are
fortified and we'll armed.

The census taken by directory
agents is unreliable in many particu-

the good will of advertising custom
