UMoNrowN, Pa, April 22.-The coun-
ty officials went to Adelaid this morn
ing, but after making two evictions were
overpowered by strikers and driven
away. Reinforced by Sheriff McCor-
mick and large number of deputies,
they returned, when pitched battle
took place between the posse and about
three hundred Hungarian men and wo-
men, in which Hungarian girl was
killed and others injured, among whom
are several deputies. The deputies were
trying to keep the Huns from carrying
back the household goods,
thrown out of the houses in the morn
ing. A big, strong Hun was fighting
with several deputies, and Sheriff Nc
Cormick came to their assistance. The
Hun saw him coming and tried to shoot.
The girl who was killed was the lover of
the Hun, and was fighting for him
against the deputies. The latter say a
pistol went off in the hands of the Hun
and killed the girl.
Company G of the Eighteenth regi-
ment was quickly brought to the scene,
and it is believed, had they not been,
every deputy would have been injured,
if not killed.
Sheriff Mccormick was slightly
wounded in the hand by stray bullet.
Evictions will take place at Leith to-
morrow and trouble is feared.
1t is learned tonight that in the fight
between the deputies and the mob, two

ment OF HIS Views.
New YORK, April 22.-Ex-President
Cleveland, who had an opportunity to
read his views given yesterday on the
silver question, said to a reporter, on
the subject, this morning: Il have
just read the report, and it seems to me
it has been generally embellished, and
expressions are put into my mouth that
were never uttered by me, but are the
expressions used by another gentleman
present. While the opinions may be
regarded as partly my views upon the
subject of silver coinage, yet there are
so many other expressions credited to
me that it would require considerable
wedding out before the supposed con-
versation could be strictly termed an
accurate report"

PHILADELPHIA, April 22.-At the sale

signed by Washington. dated Mount

caunot, because / am principled against
this kind of traffic in the human species.
To hire them out is almost as bad, be-
cause they could not be disposed in fam

Ifg Iron Production.

The statistics for pig iron productions and
stocks last year. as compiled by Secretary
James NJ Swank. of the American Iron and
Steel Association. will be studied with great
interest by fnrnacemen. Ii has been coner-
ally understood that the production last wear
exceeded 10, 00O0 net tons, and that AN unu-
s,illly large amount of 'unsold iron had accu-
undated on the makers hands But official
vcriticatiOn of the fact. along with its elaho-
rationin detail was lacking and las been
anxiously awaited The total production
OF pi. iron IN 1890 was 10 1907 02S net tons of
1000 pounds, or 9202,7 0S gross tons OF 1910
pounds. against .G03.642 gross tons IN 1889. an
increase of i.5g906i gross tons. or over ~ per
cent. The production IN 1889 was over II per
cent. greater than that of 1883. The Joint in.
crease In the last two years has therefore been
over ~ per cent. Our production in 1890 WAS
about zoe. 600 gross tons larger than that of
Great Britain in the same year. and II was
about GOO 0O gross tons larger than that of Great
Britain IN 1882. which was its year of great pro-
duction Our production of pig iron in 1870
was larger for the frst time than that of orr
European rival OF this great.output. 4.560-
5l3 gross tons are to be credited 10 the first
halt OF 1880, and that much and ~ 667 tons
additional 10 the second half OF that year
The increase in the latter time would have
been much larger but for the blowing out of
many furnaces in December. caused by the
strike Of the Alabama coal-miners and by the
financial stringency. The check in pro-
duction. which occurred IN December
has been continued since the begin
niEg of the new year Spiegeeisen and

steadily through the year. attaing to i49. 1862

number Of all furnaces in blast on the 90th OF

Der the number in blast was 81. Since the

Reduction In Railroad Rates-Delightful So
ciety Event.

LYNcHBuRG, Feb. Especial. 1.-The recent
merging of the Shenandoah Valley railroad
into the Norfolk and Western system has re-
suited in very great reduction of freight
rates mt all points in Botetourt and Rock
bridge counties. through which the Valley
line extends from Roanoke TO the growing
towns of Buchanan, Glasgow, and Buena
Vista. The reduction on sugar. coffee, Hour,
lard meat. etc. is nearly one-third. This is
very gratifying news TO all OF our merchants,
who have been principally instrumental Ill eff
fecting the change of rates. 1t is thought
that the Chesapeake and Ohio road will also
make a similar reduction to the points named,
in order to compete with the other lines.
