New YORK, Jan. 2S.-A dapper little
drawn over his eyes, tripped down the
steps of the Astor house at a few min
uteS past o'clock this morning. No
one noticed the man till he had reached
the corner of Vesey street. At that
corner he met Lewis Davis, a man for
whom he had been looking for weeks
past. Both men exchanged few words
which seemed to indicate that their re-
lations were not amieabe or harmonious.
Davis turned on his heel and started to
walk away. The little man, whose name
is Richard A. Goebler, and who was
buncoed out of $1,000 on Grand street
on Nov. l, drew out pistol and told
Davis TO halt. Davis, who is very power
fui and much younger than the little
man, stood still and turned pale. eff
you move" shouted Goebler, ''y0ur
brains will be blown out of your head"
This strange tableau attracted hun
dredS who were passing at the time.
The Wiry little German held the pistol
in position until a policeman came and
took the weapon from the eX-
cited man. The pair were then
taken 10 the Tombs. AT the court it
was elected that Goebler had been

City, Mont, when he was buncoed, and
that he had succeeded in having one of
the buncO men indicted. The man who
was indicted is known as Johnston. Da
Wis, who is supposed to have been in
league with the bunco steers, went on
Johnston'S bail. Then Johnston was
liberated. 1t was found some time
after that Davis'S bond was of no value.
Goebler learned of this and went to the
district attorney for instruction in the
matter. Mr.. Fellows issued warrant
for DaYis's arrest. This warrant
Goebler carried around with him,
aud in order to aid him in
its service he was granted permit to
carry pistol. Davis did not believe
that he had met so powerful an adj
versary till Goebler showed the papers
to Justice German at the TOmbs.' Davis
was remanded to the custody of the
district attorney. Later Davis was
taken before Recorder Smyth in Part |,
general sessions, TO plead to an indict
ment for perjury fodnd against him.
He pleaded not guilty and was remand
ed for trial

APALACHICoLA, Fla, Jan. 23.-The
Escambia Rifles arrived last night,
thirty-seven strong. Guards were posted
throughout the town, and every white
man not on duty slept with arms within

negro strikers were arrested to-day, but
the chief one, Sanchez V. Thomas, can
not be found. One negro was shot to-
day while fleeing from arrest. The trial
of some of the prisoners commenced
this afternoon. Intense excitement
prevails among both whites and blacks.
The negro women are violent in denun-
citation of the action of the whites and
are thrOnging the streets. 1t is gener-
ally believed that the arrest of the ring
leaders will have quieting effect. The
whites are well prepared, and this fact
it is hoped will have a restraining influ-
ence upon the negroes.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-J. II. Brig
ham, of Delta, O., worthy master of the
National Grand Patrons of Husbandry,
appeared before the ways and means
committee this morning. He stated
that the organization which he repre-
scented was composed of men of every
shade of political belief. They differed
on the question of protection and free
trade, but they were substantially
agreed that whatever policy might be
adopted for other industries and inter-
ests should be applied to agriculture.
If manufacturers were to be protected
the farmers wished also to be protected.
Whatever protection could be accorded
to agriculture ought to be given. He
asked for the imposition of the follow
ing duties on farm products: Barley,
% cents a bushel; barley malt, So cents:
beans, 50 cents; peas. p cents; hops, IL
cents; potatoes. % cents; hay, 81 a ton;
hides, 10 per cent ad valorem; eggs, 5
cents Il dozen. He thought that ade-
quate protection should also be given to
raw silk and live animals. but could not
give the exact duty that should be i'm
posed. He did not think that free W 90
would benefit the farmer.

NO QUARTER FOR STRIKERS.
PunXsutawney Coal Barons Refuse
to Treat With Labor,

PUNXsUTAwNEY, Jan. %. - The
miners made an effort to settle the strike
to-day. They appointed committee of
four non-union men to confer with Supt.
Haskell as to the company's conditions
for an amicable settlement. A con-
ference was held this afternoon, but the
superintendent positively refused to ar
bitrate. The strikers committee volun-
teered to concede all the demands but
unreasonable wages for the cutting
of clay veins. Supt. Haskell said the
ultimatum was to go to work and arbi-
trate afterwards. This was refused,
and the committee retired. The super
intendent says he has received instruc-
tiOnS from headquarters to draw on the
company for any amount of money
necessary to defeat the strikers. The
miners held meeting this afternoon
and decided to maintain their present
position. Sheriff Sutler was instructed
by the company to await the result of
the days meeting before proceeding
with the evictions, and if the result was
unfavOrable to begin wholesale evictions
at once. The HungarianS are greatly
excited and becoming unmanageable,
and its feared trouble is inevitable.
