Settled.
Yesterday tho warchousemen en-
!l0yCd by S. Bacr's Sons struck and
walked out. The difficulty grew ont OF
the discharge OF two OF their men. A
member OF the firm explained that
more men were employed than were
needed just now, and it was considered
Necessary TO cut the force down two
men. The firm naturally wished to re-
tain the most useful men, and two
"husllcrs,' who are paid $3.50 week,
were let so, while two porters, who
had been paid 5000, were given the
positions thus vacated. They demand
Cd their former wages for hus;ler's
work, but Mr.. Baer told them the idea
IN sTyin. them the hustlers' posi-
tons was to avoid discharging them en-
tl!ely. Ii they preferred 10 quit, he

hrstlers back.

HIS LIFE.
JOHN KELLY COMMITS SUI
eide BY HANGING.
HIS WIFE a DISCOVERS HIS BODY
A Number Of Accidents in the
Mines Yesterday-One Man
Mangled-An Aged Section
Boss Injured.

The people of Turkey Run we're thrown
into state Of excitement last night by the
suicide Of resident of the place named
John Kelly, whose body was found hang
ing cold and stiff in the shanty at the rear
Of his residence.
The body was discoverod.sby the wife,
whose shrielSs of terror and dismay at
tracted the attention of Oliver j. Zerby
and other neighbors, When the body was
found it was cold and stiff 1t was cut
down and Mr.. Zerby hastened to t,wn to
notify Deputy Coroner Brennan, who said
he would attend to the matter to-day.
Mr.. Kelly was man about forty years
of age, Besides his wife he. leaves three
small children. The onlygc that can
be assigned tor the act is worriment, on ac-
count of a lack OF work to earn lveli-
hood Kelly was employed in the Glber-
ton eolliery as miner, but for months
past work there has been very scarce and
he found it difficult to make both ends
meet. This is supposed to have preyed
upon his mind.
There was nothing unusual in his man.
ner when he returned from work last night
and his disappearance after supper caused
no surprise.
The neighbors say the deceased was a
temperate, steady and industrious man.

Knoxville, Tenn. July 2l.-The
labor trouble at Briceville eliminated
to-day in the withdrawal OF the con.
victs from the mines of the l.nnessee
Coal Company and Of tho i'm the
Knoxville Iron Company's m nes. At
the latter place they have brau worked
without trouble for fourteen years.
The mines at Briceville are in a
pocket formed by three mountains.
On all sides the site is commanded by
wooded hillsides, from which sharp.
shooters could pick off the militia one
by one. The total number of effective
militia was IS, and opposed to them
was fighting contingent of from 800
to 1000. This morning an armed and
thoroughly organized body of miners,
numbering not less than LOCO men, as
semb.ed at Coal Creek, and in a COM
pact column marched to Briceville.
five miles away. Before the march
began every man was searched. and
those having whisky were excluded.
The miners asked Colonial Sewer if
he would remove his troops aud take
the cOnWcyJ with him. He asked
what would be done to the mining
cOmpany's prop ,rsy, which was also
under his protection. They replied
that it would not be injured. He
also asked if an attack would be made
on the Knoxville Iron Company
stockade, just below Brceville. If
such was intended, he intended to fail
back here and fight it out regardless
of consequences. The leader replied
that no attack would be made.
The troops then marched out, car.
rying with them the convicts, all the
commissary supplies and baggage
They marched to Briceville and TOOK
the train to Knoxville.
