Another Conflict in the Coke Region
Between Officers and
a Mob.
Il One Striker Killed and Another Seri-
ously Wounded by the Officers
in Self Defense.
The Presidential Party Are Now Re-
ceiving the Homage Of the
OregOnians.


SCoTTDALE, Pa, May 4. - The coke
region to-day was shaken from cen.er to
circumference by just such another scene
as has been feared since the dreaded
Norwood killing. At Leisenring No 3
last night a man named Mahan was shot
dead and another seriously injured. Even
at this hour 1t is difficult to secure posi-
tive information, owing to the excitement
caused by the affair. The most reliable
accounts, however, agree that two Hun
garians, who had left the works, delayed
their visit, and Superintendent Gray be-
came suspicious. He, in company with
his assistants and four deputy sheriffs,
visited house No. II, where their
workmen were enjoying them
selves immensely. Their entrance
caused a stampede among the strikers,
and two of them rushed out. Gray and
deputies we're followed up the hull by the
angry crowd who came so close that they
were compelled to back down with rifles
presented. They stayed off the mob as
long as possible, but Mahan rushed up
to of the deputies. selling his rifle
and grappled with him. This deputy
fred and the balance followed suit. In
the fusilade one man fell dead while
another was injured. The remains of
Mahon, shrouded in a black shroud,a ARE on
a cot in house No. 10 this evening. He
was evicted from this house
about a week ago and strikers
to-day gained possession in time
to shelter his body. There are grave ap-
prehensions of further trouble at Leisen-
ring and the force of deputies is largely
increased. Deputy Coroner Stone ar
rived at Leisenring, empannelled a jury
and conducted an examination. A YER
dict was rendered that Mahan came to
his death from gunshot wounds fired by
unknown persons. On information of
Worthy Foreman McCloy of the mine
works, Superintendent Gray, Mine Boss
Callaghan and Yard Boss Agnew we're
arrested for the murder and given a pre-
liminary hearing before Squire Cotton,
of Dunbar, who held the defendants for
trial and they were taken to Jail. The
testimony adduced placed the blame of
shooting on Gray. Some thirty families
we're evicted to-day at Broadford, and
more would have been thrown out had
not deputies objected to being stoned
and struck because they we're not al
lowed to use their revolvers on the
strikers. Tonight there are $500 men
at work, including the men at the Inde-
pendent works and T. W. Rainey's.
There is no doubt a slow but steady gain
is being made on the men, owing to the
heavy imports of labor. Five carloads of
Italians arrived in the region to-day.

AUSTIN, Mimi, May 2.--One of the
most disastrous fires ever known in this
section broke out this morning in j. =.
Floods residence at Lyle, twelve miles
south of this city. The wind was strong
and the business portion of the village
was completely wiped out. Both of
Hunting's elevators, the Milwaukee de-
pot and the Kansas City hotel burned.
The Masonic hall and postotfice were
consumed. John Myhre and Evanson &
Co. we're the heaviest losers. Over
thirty buildings, Including nearly
every store and sweeping five blocks,
we're destroyed before the fire expended
itself. The losses aggregate $111,900; in
surance, $4,000.

W.iY TALK.
Jay Gould Gives a Few POINTER on West.
ern Railroad Interests.

Jay Gould Gives IL Few Pointers on West
ern Railroad Interests.
New YORK, May 4.-Jay Gould sat in
his office in the Western Union building
this afternoon and talked to a Sun repre-
sentative about some matters which are
of great interest to the financial and rail-
road worlds. II think" said Gould,
Sasiat the meeting of the Western Traffic
association on Wednesday will be an en-
tirely harmonious me I have heard of
no railroads whose action is apt to be of
a different character. I think the
association will be productive of great
good" "Do you not think" he was asked,
"that before any great results can come
from the association it will be necessary
to start it on new l~ines-such, for in
stance, as the establishment of joint
agencies for the handling of competitive
business?" cit will not be necessary"
said Gould, "to start the association
anew in order to accomplish this. In
fact, (g%uardedly,) I think it quite posi-
BILE that very point Of Joint
considered at Wednesdays meeting.
The association should prove a powerful
influence for good, and the effect of it's
future actions should be strong. You
remember that When it was formed it
caused a turn in the tide. It undoubt-
eddy averted a panic. The Interstate
commerce commission has declared pool
ing illegal; that is, a division of money
after it has been earned. Indeed, there
was a grave question among railroad
men as to the legality of this. Parti-
tioning of traffic is a different matter,
and courts have already decided the
principle to be a legal n in a somewhat
analogous case. In case of an express
company making contract with a railroad
for. the transaction of it's business these
joint agencies would be independent.
The head Of each one would
apportion off business equally to
the roads concerned. I don't see how
any trouble could arise through payment
of unlawful commissions by certain rail-
roads. In our southwestern associations
we had no trouble of that kind. Weekly
statements would be submitted by each
agency to various roads showing each
ones share of business. There would be
no inducement to cut rates. I suppose
present weakness in stock markets arises
from exports of gold which have caused
tightness in money markets. My trip to
the west made me feel very hopeful. I
found crops in fine condition and people
generally encouraged"

Editor Bushnell of the Dakota Farm
er has just completed an exhaustive
compilation of crop statistics for South
Dakota which will prove OF inestimable
value in all directions. The results of
his inquiries directed to competent au-
thorities in every county in the state
sum up as follows:
The total wheat acreage in the state
is 1,9lO,S5l acres from which were pro-
duced 81 ,l7s,327 bushels or an average
of 1863 bushels per acre. The highest
average yield per acre is 25 bushels and
three counties show it, i. G. Dawson,
Lincoln and McCook. The other coun-
tios in this section had an average yield
as follows. Hanson, 81; Aurora, 20:
Sanborn, 81: Miner, 20; Hutchinson, %
Bon Homme, %; Chas. Mix. "A; Jerauld,
%; Turner, %; Yankton, 20; Clay, "a
and Union, %. Beadle county shows
an average of II bushels; Hughes 70
Brown, 1876; Codington, Is; and Mime
haha, %. The lowest yields were il
Faulk county, 6; Edmunds, 7:and Hyde
8. The showing, therefore, for tha
part of the state which we have alway
designated as the sure-crop region i
certainly a most encouraging one, Will
the net results will do great deal t
refute the exaggerated reports whic

terests of our State.
One thing remains to be done, viz: to
provide the means necessary to prepare
an exhibit worthy of our State.
There is now but one way to do this
and we appeal to the generous, patriot
ic and liberal citizens of South Dakota
for voluntary contributions.
We have looked over the details and
find that with a commission serving
without salary and with all other ex-
pense reduced to the possible limit, the
sum of $S0OO0. 90 is the smallest amonnt
with which a proper representation can
be made.
In the busy rush OF the great mass OF
people and amid the bewildering num-
ber of buildings al the Exposition, we
need some place that South Dakotan
can call home where friends can meet
where the weary ones exhausted with
endless sight seeing can find a comforta-
BILE resting place and feel that they are
not intruding on the rights of citizens OF
other States-a rendezvous for our citi-
zens where greetings can be exchanged
and acquaintances renewed.
1t is best that we should have such a
place and not be stragglers or tramps
without home.
Will you help us? We appeal to you
regardless of religious belief or political
creed.
We appeal to every one who has
property interests; to every one who
has come here to make "a home; to every
person who would repel the charge thai

The report contains other interesting
facts as follows:
Taking the state over, Mr.. Bushnell's
reports show only about 400 acres less
put to crop this year than in 1880. This
decrease is chiefly in the northern and
middle Missouri river counties, and
eastward to the Beadle and Kingsbury
county lines, the decrease being scarce
ly perceptible in the eastern counties.
The wheat acreage has decreased about
10000 acres, as compared with that of
last year. Oats are about as in 1890,
while flax is fully $500 acres less. Corn
acreage will exceed that of last year
1900; barley, 10000; rye, $4,000: and
potatoes 500.
The total acreage of oats the present
year is $50. .7l2; average yield, 80 I BUSH

averaging a little over 26 bushels per
acre, equal to 25, ,4Ol 900 bushels for the
state, less counties not treported. The
barley harvest was good, 204 ,243 acres
giving an average yield of 25.2 bushels
per acre, making a total of 5, l42, ,9G3
bushels. Rye acreage, 81, 30S; average
2o.2 bushels; total, 6s6, l45 bushels. The
flax acreage, although $500 acres less
than last year, is $780, ,05o, yielding over
8 bushels per acre, OF. a total of 3,559,-
304 bushels. Potatoes overrun all estl-

Issued by the Order of the South Dakota
Worlds Fair Commission.
To THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF
SOUTH DAKoTA:-Chicago, in 1893, is
to be the great gathering place OF the
nations.
The United States has thrown open
its doors and invited the world to come
at that time and visit at its hearth
stone.
The invitation has been accepted and
nearly every civilized nation has signl-
fed it's intention to be present with It's
best possible manifestation at this, the
greatest of all international gatherings.
The general government has been
generous in grants OF money and credit,
and is doing all possible to make the
greatness of our nation known.
Many of the states OF our Union are
already making preparations and all
will seize upon this occasion to exhibit
their property, progress and natural re-
sources.
Love for our land, interest in the
worlds progress and the belief that
each commonwealth should do its share
in proving to the world that 1--WE are
Many, yet one," prompts each factor
to stand in its rightful place.
Minnesota North Dakota, Nebraska,
Iowa and Missouri have each, by gen
erous appropriations, assured thell
proper positions in the ranks.

failed to appropriate any amount tina
our state might be represented.

Minneapolis seems to be going after
the next Republican convention in dead
earnest, and in some views of the case it
might be an excellent move to give it
to her. The northwest is the particu-
lar recruiting ground not only for the
southern Alliance calamity party but
also for the Democracy, and the effect
OF a general gathering of this sort
might be beneficial in the extreme.
Still, aside from proximity to the far
northwest, Minneapolis has very little
advantage over Chicago on these same
grounds.
