BLOODsHED IN COLORADO.


Striking Miners Resist a Sherif's Posse.
DENVER, Col, Dec 13.-Two weeks
ago the 500 miners of the Colorado Goa
and Iron Company at Crested Butte
went out on a strike because of a pro-
posed reduction of wages.
Yesterday Sheriff Shares, of Gunni-
son, arrived there with a posse of %
men for the purpose Of taking posses
sion and guarding the mines. No SOON
err had the Sheriff and his men alighted
from the train when they were attack
ed by about 200 armed Sicilians and
Austrians, who began firing with their
Winchester rifles.
The officer held his men for mo-
ment, and ordered them to return the
fire, which they did with deadly aim
effect, killing five Italians. Two Aus
TRANS were fatally wounded.
After the firing the miners retreated
and the Sheriff's posse marched up the
hill and took possession of the mines,
and threw up redoubts.
The miners are swearing revenge
upon every friend Of the coal company
and the town of Crested Butte is upon
the verge of riot The Governor has
called out the State militia and the
troops are now at the armory, ready to
start for the scene by special train at
moments notice.

A Successful Play.

II you want a receipt for that popular mystery.
known to the world Play to Succeed,
Take precepts at once from lessons of history
And throw in sensation in word and in deed.
Take wives who are scandalous, wild and I'M
virtuous;
Sluggers, whose knowledge lies all in tho
fists;
Tanks that are turbulent, boiling, impetuous;
Sweet looking children whom none can re-
sist;
The wailing from Wall street, heartfelt and
cumbersome;
Models half naked and posing for show;
Horses in running and COWS that are trouble
some;
Engines and buzz saws that only half go;
The dancing Of Spaniards, wild eyed and sinis-
teri
The sowing Of naxims; a large hearted minis
ter;
The Star Spangled Banner; society's chatter;
Dizziness dressed in a garb that would fiatter
Whispers of mortgages; sectional fights;
Sensuous music and calcium lights
Take of these elements all that is fusible,
Melt 'em all down in pippin or crucible,
Set 'em to simmer and keep on the scum,
And Play to Succeed is the residuum.

THE BALTIMORE LEAVES chill.


The sailors Subscribe to Monument to
Their Murdered Comrades.
VALPARAISO, December 10. = The
United States cruiser Baltimore has
sailed for San Francisco. The mem
bers of the crew of the Baltimore have
subscribed nearly $500 in gold, and
purchased monument to place over
the graves of Reggins and Turnbill,
their two comrades who were murdered.
Another case of cruelty to an Amer
lean seaman occurred here recently,
and has attracted some attention. The
American steamer Keweenaw, from
New York for San Francisco, stopped
here for repairs month ago. One OF
her crew a sailor named Patrick Shields,
was arrested in Valparaiso for drunk
enness. The man admits that he was
intoxicated, but he says he was given
no hearing at all, and was refused per-
mission to communicate with his cap
tain or consul. He, was kept at work
cleaning the streets for more than
week, and was brutally beaten by the
police. When he was released, he was
scarcely able to walk His back and
arms were a mass of bruises, and, ac-
cording to the statement of the navy
surgeon who examined him, he re-
ceived several internal injuries, which
will prevent him from working for sew
eral months. Consul McCreery took
the man to the Intendente to show him
his injuries, but the Intendente de-
clined to examine him, though he
promised that he would investigate the
matter. The local authorities have
reached no conclusion in the case yet.

SOUTH BETHLEHEM, Dec. II. = A

The organization was known as the
Gold Gang. The club membership
consisted of about a dozen, the fees
were 80 cents for the first two weeks
and % cents month thereafter. 1t
is about six weeks old; many lads
were asked to join, but the majority OF
the respectable boys refused to do so.
The club met in an old shanty where
they gambled Innocent lads were
cheated out of their money, and the
proceeds devoted to the welfare of the
Gold Gang. Most Of them are sons
of respectable parents and all of them
are Sunday school scholars.

Adulteration seems to be the order
of the day. The word now comes from
Berlin that electricity is used to color
canned vegetables beautiful green.
This is done by boiling them in copper
kettles, during the process of which a
current is passed through the vessel
which acts on the copper and colors the
liquid fine green. The only remedy
the people have from the almost crimi-
nal avarice of tradesmen lies in the Of
ficials appointed to look after the ques-

The mountaineering in New York
seems to have brought to the surface
an army of cranks in all parts of the
country. Within the past few days
several crimes have been attempted by
them and in some instances they have
been terribly successful. In the ma
jority of cases they have shown a pre-
meditation and skill in their murder
GUS acts that gives the lie to the as
sumption that they are irresponsible.
For them the penitentiary is better
suited than the asylum.

New HAVEN, Conn, December Il.
Barbara Maithonse died Yesterday,
as supposed, victim of the ''l3n
superstition.
Mrs. Maithouse attended party
about two weeks ago, and during the
evening she noticed that there were
just thirteen persons present. She
called attention to the fact, and some
one iokingly said that as she was the
first to notice 1t, she would be the one
to fall victim to the fatal number
She was manifestly worried over it,
and when she was taken ill last Fri
day she became firmly convinced that
she could not recover and so informed
her family and physician. Nothing
could disabuse her of the belief. and
she continued to grow worse until she
died.

Eagle.
CLARKsBURG, w. VA, December Ii.
While the children of Mr.. Ware were
playing in the yard of their fathers
residence, at Mingo, Rudolph county,
on Thursday, bald eagle perched
upon a tree near there and appeared
to be watching every motion. Sud
denly he came down and picked up
dog with which the children were
frolicking, and carried him some dis
lance before he dropped him, the dog
biting the bird all the time. The dog
had hardly touched the ground when
the bird came down second time, and
a severe battle occurred between them,
the bird getting the worst of it, ard
being injured so severely he was unable
to fly. The children hurried for as
sistance, but when they returned with
it the eagle had disappeared, leaving
badly lacerated and frightened dog
and a lot of blood and feathers. He
was trailed into the brush, but was
not caught.

The Bomb Was Prepared by a Boston
Broker. Z

Broker.
Boston, December Alt seems to
be settled that the bomb thrower who
tried to kill Russell Sage and Henry
L. Norcross are one and the same indi-
vidual. Additional evidence was
offered to the parents of Norcross this
forenoon which removes all doubt from
their minds. As soon as they have
sufficiently recovered from the shock
of their sons terrible death they will
go to New York and bring back the
remains for suitable burial.
James G. Pennycuck, President of
the Alpha Manufacturing Company,
has an Office in the building where
Henry L. Norcross, the suspected
bomb-thrower, had an Office. Two
weeks ago tomorrow Mr.. Pennycuck
went into his Office to write. About
noon he had occasion to go down the
corridor. When he returned he no.
ticed that the door of Mr.. Norcross'
Office was open. Going to the door, he
said:
"Why, Henry, what are you doing
here today" He answered; 'Ihave
been writing long letters. Have you
got any iron filings in your room9"
Mr.. Pennycnch answered that he had
none, and expressed surprise that Mr..
Norcross should want anything of the
kind.
At the same time he suggested that
he could probably find some in the
room of Mr.. White, of the White Ele-
waited Railroad. When Mr.. Pennycuck
went into the room Mr.. Norcross was
sitting at the desk, which was open:
At the entrance of his visitor he shut
the desk with a snap. When he was
asked what he wanted the filings for
he said that he wanted them for some
experiments.
The photograph of the head was
shown six persons in the building this
morning. Fout of them were confident
that he was the man. The two others
We're equally sure that it was not the
man.
