RIOT IN THE COAL REGION.

Strikers Make Attack ON Hungarian
Miners.
PLYMOUTH, Pa, July GA strike and
a serious riot occurred last evening at
Nottingham colliery, Lehigh and Wilkes
barre Coal Company.
On Monday last the coal company
brought here a carload Of foreign labor
and yesterday two more carloads came in
The new men were all recently i'm
ported Hungarians.
As fifty men, who enter the mine every
night to clear the gangways and breasts
of rock, were about to descend the shaft
they were informed that the rate of
wages would henceforth be reduced from
$1.68 to $1.25 per day. The men held a
consultation and refused to accept the
reduction.
A large crowd of men and boys who
were just leavfag the breaker and mines,
congregated around the gang and in
dorsed their decision.
AS soon as it was definitely known that
the rock men would not go into the mine
Foreman Conner dispatched messenger
to the barracks, whore the company had
installed their recent importationa, and
in a few minutes a body of the Huns were
entering the oolliery yard, every man in
new working outfit, which had been pro-
vided by the company.
Their appearance was the signal for an
outburst of hooting and groans from the
men who were waiting to see the outcome
of the affair. As the new men under the
leadership of Superintendent Leokie and
Foreman Conner walked in the direction
of the shaft a volley of stones and pieces
of coal fell upon them. The throwing OF
missiles continued until several of the
Huns dropped.

BRUTAL MURDER.
A Young Girl Found With Her ThrOni
Cot from Ear 60 Ear.


Cat from Ear 60 Ear.
HAzIEroN, Pa, July 23.--l4attimer, a
small mining town four miles from here,
was the scene of most brutal and cow
ardly murder during the forenoon.
Mrs. Garoyer went huckleberrying ut
an early hour and left her daughter Mary,
aged ID, at home to attend the baby.
Upon her return shortly after noon
time she found the doors bolted, and upon
forcing them found the dead body of her
daughter lying on the floor in pool Of
blood, with her throat cut from ear to
ear. At her side lay big butcher knife.
At first 1t was thought that an assault
had been attempted, as the clothes were
badly torn and deranged, showing signs
of fierce struggle, and that the muir
derer killed the girl to cover the crime.
But this is not Sustained upon further
examination.
It Is supposed taat man entered the
house to rob the family Of their savings,
which were very large. The box con-
tanning the savings Of years is gone, and
It is supposed the robber was caught in
the act by the girl, whom he murdered
to conceal his identity. There is no clue
to the robbsr.

PEACE OR CONFLICT
The Tennessee Miners Will
Decide To-Day.
GOV. BUcHANARs PROPOSITION
he FavOrs Repeal Of the Convict Lease
System.

A Special Session of the Legislature 60
Settle the ouestiOn-The Mountain Men
Asked to Yield Until the Law is Re
pOaled--An Answer Expected soOn-No
TroubIe at BricevlIls To-day.
KNoxvnLE, Tenn, July 2s.--Whate, er
may be the ultimate result Of the trouble
between the miners and the convicts, and
incidentally the militia, there is GER
tainly no danger of. bloodshed to-day.
The question at issue Il now In abey-
Ance and win probably be decided defln-
itely to-day at q minera' meeting.
After hearing arguments from both
operators and miners and consulting
many leading citizens Of Knoxville, Gov.
Buchanan decided TO call an extra ses-
sion of the Legislasure for the purpose Of
modifying, If not abolishing the convict
lease system.
He stated, however, that in the mean
time the miners must allow the return
OF the couvicts to Briceville and Coal
Creek. Should they agree to this, the
militia would be withdrawn, but refusal
would necessitate an order that the
troops carry the convicts back at any
cost.
Late word from Coal Creek in that the
miners say that they will consent cheer
fully to the return of the convicts pend
ing action by the Legislature. A mass
meeting of the citizens of Knoxville
passed resolutions Of sympathy with the
miners.
No Danger at BricsvIlIe.
The sensational matter sent out by spe-
cial correspondents of Northern and
Western newspapers about q threatened
riot to-day at Bricsville is all Bosh. There
is nobody in Briceville for the miners to
fight. The militia and the convicts and
the guards are all In Knoxville. There Is
not a man in Briceville, nor has there
been since Monday, who is not a miner or
a friend of the miners.
Soldiers Distressed.
A more distressed and disguised set of
militia than those of the State of Ten
nessee, now assembled in force on the
university grounds, has never been seen.
These young men are signing for battle.
Colonel Sewer signs loudest of all. And
the worst pill they have been called upon
to swallow is the "poor child" way in
which the miners speak of them.
From reliable information it can be
stated positively that the troops will not
move before night. TIE miners, from re-
ports received, are not sleeping There
has been a big demand for rifles here in
the city, and tomorrow may bring forth
a terrible conflict. If the miners decide
to fight their available force will reach
5000, and If they attack the troops it will
probably be begun when the troops reach
Clinton. The Gatling guns of the militia
are to be mounted on fat cars.
Labor Commissioner Ford has just
returned here from Coal Creek. Mr..
Ford says the miners are more than ever
determined that the convicts shall no t
AIoA l. 1
to the military carrying the convict 8
back to the mines, but that as soon as
one of the soldiers leave, the convicts
will be released. Mr.. Ford is the only
State official who could be induced to
talk, and he did not say much.

Another Revolt of English Troops.

LONDON, July 23.-Ofisial circles are
annoyed over the sensational article in
Truth about mutiny of the Second Bat
TALON Of the Coldstream Guards that oc-
Cured e week ago. The paper says that
a day off duty, which the men had ex-
peoted after their exacting duties in at
tending upon the Kaiser, was not granted,
but that, instead, the guardsmen were
ordered out in full marching order.
Thereupop the first and third companies
of the Battalion refused to obey the or
der, and persisted in such refusal until
they finally yielded to the persistent
pleadings of their officers and marched to
HYDE, Park for the usual drill.

QUIET AT COAL CREEK,
There VIII be No Trou BILE IL the Convicts
Are Kept Away.

Are Kept Away.
CoAL CREEK, Tenn, July 28.-The
miners are much elated at their sue.
cess SO far without resistance, and
say that no troops can be found who will
come here and protect convicts. The
leaders of the miners say the attack
would not have been made but for the
fact that many of the militia had told
them they would not fight for convicts.
Conservative leaders here are decidedly
against disturbing property, but there
are many who strongly favor burning
the stockade. It is not likely that any
mine machinery will be destroyed, as
the men are convinced that they will
eventually triumph and take charge of
all the mines. Once let them think they
cannot keep the eonvicts out, and they
will tear down the machinery and set
fire to every mine.
No one here has as yet any idea of
what the State troops will do, or
whether they will be ordered to come on
from Knoxville or not. The delay
has increased the hilarity Of the men
here at what they term the perishable
goods boxed and shipped away. It in
creases, too, the hope that they have that
the convicts will not be sent back.

ANOTHER OF FLANAeAN,s POEMS.
what is Freedom When Bound by vice
to Perdition In Chains"

- Hroeuo" When Bound by Vice
to Perdition In Chains"
The unfortunate Patrick Flanagan
senus the following from his gloomy
cell IN New Haven, with the request that
1T be published in the DEMOCRAT:
Hark, what is that sound I hear in
the dell?
1t echoes like thunder Dove the Atlantic
swell,
And crossing the mountains sings on
From the glens of Slane Gallon to the
stately Galtees.
1t madly sweeps onward-opponents are
Like the tempest tossed barque 'gainst
the great granite rock,
deception, dishonor, before it will fall:
lis the voice of nation, for virtue ii
it calls.
With virtue and honor, nation is free
Though chained to the tyrant in bond
age it be;
Chains may be burst, you from bondage
be tore,
But honor and virtue once lost are no
By counting the cost let us take it like
this
bliss.
All, what is your freedom, pray to me
explain
When bound by your vice to perdition
in chains.
Each tree we must judge by the yield
of it's fruit
And there leave it standing or it clearly
uproot.
Lest the sappling, its offspring, to matur-
ity grows,
And in virtues pure orchard pernicious
seed sows.
Therefore in your councils be guided by
Who sent forth his apostles from Cal
vary's tree,
The waves of deception against you may
roll,
But with honor and virtue You'll the
nation control.
P. FLANAGAN, New Haven.

THE FIGHT OFF.

FItzsimmons and Hall May Go to New
Orleans to Battle.
ST. PAUL. Mimi, July 23.-For the
present the Fitzsimmons-H Hall prize fight
is off. So much pressure was brought
against it that the authorities finally
agreed to stop It.
1t NAY take place tomorrow beyond
the city limits, but in all probability the
"mill' will come off in New Orleans.
1t is said that arrangements have been
m de by which they will fight at Hud-
son Just over the line in Wisconsin.
Hall and his friends are now at the
Metropolitan Hotel here and Fitzsim-
mons and Carroll are at the Ryan.
Visiting sportsmen are moving about
waiting for the tip, but no authoritative
statement regarding the battle ground
has yet been made.

THE EASTPoRr SEIZURE.
A CAREFUL Investigation Is Being Made b.
the State Department.

A CAREFUL InveseigatIon Is Being Made by
the State Department.
WASHINGTON, July 28.-The State De-
partment is quite busy learning the de-
tails of the seizure OF the Eastport fish
ermen, SO as to be able to act intelli-
gently when the time for action arrives.
The United States consul at the Cana
dian town next to Eastport is iDve stigat-
ing things, and when he makes his re-
port it will be quite competent for the
department to take some very interest
ing steps towards obtaining an explana-
tion of the case from Great Britain.
There is no danger of a repetition of
the Outrage" as it is being called in
lieu of more definite term, and the de-
partment feels that haste in such an
event would be unwise.

their new western home in wild Illinois
three weeks and two days. They have
come back in one day and two nights
