in a few stocks was about made up by
the extension Of trading to an unusually
large number of shares, giving the market

there will ultimately be some Joint actor

BATTLE WITH OUTLAWS
Kentucky Troops and Dssper,
ADDE'S Have a Deadly Fight.
Five Soldiers Wounded-Rein-
forcements Sent for.
Mexican Horse Thieves Kill a
Deputy Marshal.

LOUISVILLE, April Is "A special to the
Times from Harlan cour house slys: A
deadly fight occurred this morning at | 20
o'clock, seven miles east OF here, up in
the Black mountains, between a detail of
state troops, consisting of sixteen privates,
Lieut.. Mullen and Sergeant PulliaD, and
about thirty outlaws who were fortified
in an olG barn. Five of the soldiers
were wounded. 1t is not known how
many of the outlaws were killed, as they
still have possession of the barn. Cor
pUral Blantin was sent in after reinforce
ments and knows but little as he left i'm
mediately after the firing began. The
troops have the barn surrounded and it
will be impossible for those inside to make
their escape Yesterday afternoon Capt.
Gather. who Is the commanding officer,
was informed that a body Of law
less men, some of whom had
been indicted for various oTenses,
were at the above mentioned locality and
refused to surrender to the authorities.
He was asked for a detail Of men Tor the
purpos of arresting them. His men
left camp yesterday afternoon expecting
to find the men they were pursuing 10 a
private MOUSE ABOUT oOO yarus ueHOuu the
barn from which they we're fred on.
The attack was not looked for at that
point and it came 50 unexpected that it
demoral zed the soldiers for a momen or
two. but they soon rallied, surrounded the
barn and began firing into it from every
direction, Wien it was thought best to
cease action and hold the fort until REIN
forcements arrived with more ammunition.
1t Is believed a severe tight will take place
as soon as additional troops reach the
place, for the outlaws are fortified, well
armed with Winchester rifles aud swear
that they will not surrender aud are de-
termined and want revenge for those who
have been shot down.

states that Thomas of Wisconsin, chair
man Of the committee ON war claims. had
denounced the bill as one of the most in
famous Jobs which had ever been foisted

Thomas said that he had not censured
any member of the committee. He had
stated that if the hill passed it would be

Enloe said the charge in the article
that he had brought the bill before the

Thomas reiterated his statement that a

Street Railway Employees VIII Strike.
PTrrsBURG, April ls.-A new feature
of the strike situation is the probability
of a strike of the street railway employees
at the same time the other railway en-
ployes 60 out. They are considering the
~advisability OF making a simultaneous de
mand tor higher wages.
As result of a conference today it is
said by leading men of both sides that the
difficulty will probably be settled without
a strike.
A move that will likely break the back
bone OF the threatened.strike was made
tonight by the Panhandle company. A
committee of employees presented the de
mand for a change of wages and hours.
Superintendent Turner promised to see
the demands conceded. 1t is probable
the other roads will follow suit and
avert a strike. The question of the
recognition of the federation, however, is
still unsettled and NAV cau-e trouble.
