No REBEL FLAGS,
Martins Ferry People Excited by a False
and Foolish Report.

Martins Ferry People Excited by False
aud Foolish Report.
Eugene Robinson's floating Opera
House arrived at Martins Ferry last
evening, and it was feared that its mr.
rival would cause trouble. 1t had been
reported that on the boats, among the
flags Of all nations there was rebel flag.
Martins Ferry is one OF the patriotic
towns you read about, and naturally the
report caused considerable excitement.
A number OF citizens Baid they would
tear down or shoot down the staff of
such flag, and crowd of fully one
hundred men and boys appeared at the
Northwood Glass Works wharf imme-
diately after the boats arrived, with the
intention OF making the manager take
down the flag or doing it themselves.
1t is said that large number Of these
men were armed and meant business,
but no rebel flag was displayed, and that
it was all u mistake. Said one man to the
1ETELLidEscsR man: "Don't publish
my name, but l was there prepared to
shoot down the flag, and would have
done it at the risk Of my life. Among
the crowd were large number Of Jun.
ior' Order American Mechanics. MIR.
Robinson says he is member Of the
Junior Order and has too much sense to
display rebel flag. The flag supposed
to be a rebel one was n United States
naval flag, and this was all there was in
the repprt.

NEw ORLEANS, June 29.-The LOU
isiana State Lottery accepts the PROPOSE
tion made by the Senate Committee,
increasing the amount to be paid by 1t
annually from 100000 to sl,25O 900.
This will probably go through both
Houses in the committee. Senator
Proyosty declared that the Newgass Eng.
lish syndicate was prepared TO pay
81, 100000 for the lottery privilege, aud
he tried to amend the bill by increasing
the license Of the Louisiana Lottery to
S1,500.000, but he was voted down, the
committee taking the view that the
Newgass syndicate was insincere and
that its bid was not genuine one.

The A.torney-General refused to take
part in the prosecution. The State had
no witnesses to otter, and the District
Attorney at once nole prosecuted the
case. It is probable that the charge

COAL MINERS STRIKE.
Six Thousand slsn Out Of Employment In
Alabama.


BIRMINGHAM, ALA, June 20.-Sil
thousand coal miners will 10 out on 4
strike In this district Tuesday morning
This will cut oil the supply OF coke and
force twenty.three furnaces to 20 out ol
blast, throwing 5000 or G.00o more men
out OF employment. The strike is against
the sliding scale, based on the price OF
iron, and for an advance OF 10 per cent
on all classes Of work. Several days ago
the miners notified mine owners and
operators that they would no, renew the
aiding scale contract, which expires
Monday, and further, would demand an
advance oil 10 per cent on a straight con.
tract, 10 run twelve months.
To-day meeting Of mine operators
and furnace owners ives held in this
city, and It was decided not TO grant the
advance. The furnace owners we're
willing to shut down Tor a month any.
way Tor repairs, and on account OF tic
low price Of iron it was agreed that fires
would be banked In all furnaces now In
blast at once, and Arrangements made
for general shutdown Of everything.
The Bessemer and Alabama rolling mill,
employing 700 men. closed down to-day
Tor ak weeks, which will help the mine
owners somewhat.
AS soon as the committee from the
miners were notified that their demands
would not be granted the men at all the
mines in tho State were ordered not to
work after Monday. Both sides are de.
.ermiued, and the struggle bids fair to be
long and bitter one. At the Pratt
mines and Coalburg 1900 convict min.
'rs are employed. They will be able to
'upply the railroads here and probably
ieep the Birmingham Rolling mill, EN-.
9loying 100 men, from shutting down.
Fhe miners say they cannot afford to
work at present prices, and they seem
'ery confident Of winning the fight. |
Both sides expect the struggle to Lust six
weeks or two months.
