THUBDAY, MAY 7, 1891

Some men think that because they
have 50 or So adj in q newspaper
that the sheet upon which they have
bestowed their munificence should
puff them every issue. They think
they are sighted with only a puff
every other week. They also think
that the same paper should trample
on, discourage and run down any
business in their line that is in oppo-
sition to them-even though it may
be giving the paper double the
amount of support the kicker is Civ
ing. Such men usually become SO
eaten up with spleen that they with
draw their SO support thinking to
thus kill the paper which invariably
continues to flourish as though moth
ing had happened. How long, oh,
how long will it be before such men
learn that they are only working
their own ruin by making their cuss-
edness stick out like a sore thumb.

New YORK, June 30.-Unless justice

six murderers are to be put to death
by means Of the electric chair at Sing

The men are Jugiro, the japanese;

McIlvaine and Trezza.
Jugiro, on November 10, 1889, stab

granted several stays, and was resen-
fenced on June 9Th last.
James SlOcum murdered his wife in
their apartments, ia Roosevelt street,
on New Years night, 1890. The cause
was jealousy, SlOcum having found his
wife iu the rooms Of "Green John" q
neighbor.
Woods is 26 years old, and was en-

1883, he became engaged in n quarrel

Labor Troubles

SEATTLE, Wash, June 30.-Since
the bringing OF 800 colored miners
from the East few weeks ago to take
the place Of white strikers on the
franklin coal mines near Seattle, the
labor unions bave evidenced great
dissatisfaction aud late authentic news
from Franklin, makes known that the
negroes aud Plnkerton guards had a
pitched battle with the white strikers
at daylight Sunday morning with the
the result that the whites were routed
and driven back into the woods with
q loss Of two men killed, several Others
wounded and two women, wives OF
white miners, were shot in the limbs,
but will recover. One negro was pro-
baby fatally shot.
IL Is estimated that at least 1 ,00O
shots we're exchanged, but owing q
darkness most OF the men fired al
random.
The white strikers precipitated the
battle by making the attack. AfteI
the fight, and when daylight came
the negroes were crAzed with . deslr'
for revenge, and threatened TO 60 dowr
on the fats, blow up the mines and
kill all the white miners, who mum
ber l25, and their families Th'
guards, assisted by Chief Sullivan
had all they could do to keep the
negroes from carrying out their dir
threats. AT a. m. two companies o
militia were sent to the scene to pro
tect the mine property and keep thu
negroes and whites from shedding
more blood.
AtNewcastle, Coal Creek and othe
mining camps in this county, striker
