Democratic Standard Boarsr a TSFap-
Meal Employer.
srREAToR. II1s., August 14-In a let
ter TO a local paper. Mr.. Patrick II. Nc
Gail, a well known IrishmHn, says: II
worked for Adlai z. Steyenson's COM
pany from the time the bottom vein
was reached in 1870 until ME Steven
son pulled the union out root and
branch in 1878.
Il can truly say never met q greater
tyrant, nor a man with less humanity
during all my life asa coal minsr. In
1873 a contract was agreed to between
Adlai and the miueFs. t1e prepared 7.
and one clause provided that 1t shculd
remain in force one year and no one
should be discharged without good
cause.
"Not many weeks after the contract
was agreed to one OF the ropes broke in
the shaft, leaving but one TO hoist and
Ilower the men and raise the coal. AT
that time the shalt was also in a very
dangerous condition. The timbers
were bulging and breaking and the free
passage OF the cage was frequently OBJ
structed.
Zone afternoon the remaining cage,
loaded with men, stuck in the shaft
From 4 O'Clock until 10 at NIGHT it was
suspended in the most perilons posi-
ton between top aud bottom, while the
men below, having no other means OF
escape, became alarmed tor their OVID
safety.
"There was no escapement SHAFT, NO
means OF eeress, and coming from the
bowels OF the earth. $50 feet below,
could be heard the excavations Of the
men md pleadings for prompt relief.
at any moment the unusual STRAIN
upon the rope might have precipitated
the cage OF human occupants to the
bottom Of the shaft several huhdred
feet below. !.
0Women and children gathered
around the top screaming and praying
for the safety OF their husbands and
fathers. Next morning, yielding TO the
prayers OF their families, the men re-
fused to work until the shalt was put
in safe condition. Adiai gave orders
to discharge every man who did not re-
port for duty.
'.Realizing their extreme danger not
man reported. and allwere discharged
in lace Of contract drawn up for one
year. Adlai would listen to no reason
but said he had done with the union
and would get new men. In short
time the companys agent brought in
ninety scabs. only one OF whom could
speak q word oil English.
SUnion miners we're defeated in that
inhuman lockout in 1873 for simply de-
manding that their lives be not un-
necessarily jeopardized. Such il the
character OF Adlai Stevenson, the scab
employer and boss political headsman. !"

closed down their mines for the pres
ent, and do not know just when they
will start them again.
''In conversation with o number OF
miners about the situation. and VINO
werc from the seat OF war, they were
unable to say whether their grievances
had been properly presented 70 their
employers or not, and seemed tnditer-
ent about the strike.
"The trouble began on Thursday OF
last week when there was meeting ol
the Montana miners, at which It was
decided to strike II the discharged men
were not reinstated. The operators
heardof the intended move and closed
the mines. An effort was made on
Saturday morning to have meeting
with the Vest Faifmont shat men, but
the attempt was rnfruittuL a mass
meeting was held in the opera house at
Fairmont on the same evening. which
was addressed by Hon. John Mcbride.
A large crowd was in attendance from
the various points, which included both
operator and miner. Mcbride made q
splendid speech and was listened TO
with rapt attention. BE demonstrated
his knowledge OF the mining situation
and reasoned with great force for the
respect and right OF existence OF the
miners organization, and why It is
best It should.
"on Monday an accident at Montana,
which might have proved serious.
Deputy Sheriff Rufns Morgan was
clothed witha a warrant for the arrest OF
one OF the strikers He was about to
make the arrest, when the fellow took
to his heels and went on the run.
Morgan called him to halt, but he
didn't stop, mud Morgan shot at him
and missed him, and the ball struck a
young lady on the arm but did not
hurt her very much.
"This caused widespread and exag-
gerated reports but all is quiet At
present
"On Wednesday the Monongah miners
threw down their tools and are now on
strike. There are about ZOO men at
this mine.
1tThe men at Clark's mine arc also
out, but there are only few men en-
ployed there, Us the mine has been
opened bnt a short time.
"The miners at Beechwood, West

GRAFTON, w. Va. August 14-The
Republican primary conventions for
this county we're held at the several
voting precincts yesterday, and were
more largely attended than at any pre-
yious time in the history of the county.
The contest resolved itself into a
struggle on the appointment for and
against q license commissioner, and the
interest manifested was so great and
widespread that in many places the en-
tire vote was out.
The contests were made with energy
and determination. bnt no bad feeling
was engendered, and tho greatest en-
thusiasm prevailed everywhere, all
agreeing to cheerfu1ly acquiesce in the
result. The railroad shops were nearly
deserted, and voters were sent to tho
several districts by special trains, and
all seemed to enjoy the holiday. In
many precincts the attendance was so
large that visiting Democrats had to be
excluded from the halls to mako room
for the qualified Republican voters.
In this city tho voters attending the
convention were registered by order Of
the convention, and publicly pledged to
give their unqualified support to the
ticket to be nominated by the regular
Republican County Convention which
meets here Saturday, August27.
The enthusiasm displayed in the
stubborn contests ut the primaries
shows that Republicans here are active
and thoroughly wide-awake, and Is q
guarantee OF the overwhelming majority
that Taylor county will roll up next
fall for the state ana county ticket.

ELmRA, N. Y, August 1.-THE strike
OF switchmen inaugurated at Buffalo, on
the Erie and Lehigh Valley lines, has
extended TO Wayerly and sayre, on the
Lehigh, and all freight traffic on that
line Is ut standstill. A train OF beef

The division superintendent OF the
Lehigh Valley has telegraphed to

aid, although the men are making no
demonstration. Tomorrow It IS ex-
pected that the Erie men will also 90

towns will be at a standstill. The men

TaE BoRDEN. MYSTERY.
Lizzie Borden Has Many Frisnds WHO
Betisve Her Innocspt

Lizzie Borden Has Many Friends Who
Belisve Her 1nnocspt
FALL RIVER, Mass, August 14.-The
Borden murders are the great topic
here yet. City Marshal Hilliard has
heard nothing from Prof.. Wood, who is
analyzing the stomach of the victims
and comparing the spot OF blood on the
axe and carpet.
The police to-day have been engaged
in chasing down clues and testing state
ments in many letters sent TO the mar
shal. It is Lizzie Borden's side OF the
case that is now attracting the whole
attention of the police. It is not
thought now that the preliminary
hearing set down for the 22nd inst
will be OF long duration. It has been
the policy of District Attorney Knowl-
ton, in his handling capital crimes, to
give as little evidence as possible until
the trial takes place. Attorney Jen-
nings, who, beyond question, believes
in the innocence OF Miss Borden, will
do everything in his power to have q
full examination at the earliest date.
Although Miss Borden is under ar
rest, charged with perhaps one Of the
most heinous crimes committed in re-
cent years, there Is still talk about the
punishment that should be meted out
to her. She is finding supporters and
friends in most unexpected places.
The talk is almost entirely regarding
her chances of proving her innocence.
This fact gives the police authorities
reason to think that much of the
strongest evidence will have to be given
before Attorney Jennings will consent
to an order for holding his client until
November. 1t is an open secret in
police circles that the government Off
GERS believe that Miss Borden was in
sane at the time Of the murders, II she
committed them.
