Long Island, n. Y, who has not been
out OF bed for thirty years, not from
any infirmity, but because she never re-

told her mother, who is long since dead,
two months before her nineteenth
birthday that if she did not receive an
offer Of marriage before her birthday
she would go to bed and remain there
as long as she lived. Her hair is now

conduct for the Pinkcrtons provided
they left their arms and ammunition
behind and agreed to leave the place
under guard. The detectives had nc
alternative and promptly accepted the
terms of the men.
The most shocking and das
tardly deeds, however, were committed
while the prisoners were being escorted
through the streets by the escort oil
guards appointed by the strikers. Ar
angry mob lined the street on both
sides. AS the men pissed by, each in
charge of two deputies, the mill mer
kicked them and threw some of Their
down.
The unfortunate detectives begged
for mercy. Some of them had pistol
shot wounds in their heads and three
were seen that had their eyes shot out
Several were shot in the shoulders,
nrms and legs and could scarcely limr
along. Blood was running in streams
down their shirts and they fairly yelled
with pain. Fully thirty injured men
were taken to the town hall One OF

they were hit with clubs and other mis-.
sizes. Many were knocked down with
clubs, tramped upon, and some were
too weak to walk when they were
started for the town hall.
AS the procession reached the Anal
gamated association building the de-
tectives had to remove their hats and
salute the flag. When they removed
their hats men and women hit them
with umbrellas and sticks and abused
them in every way imaginable. There
seemed to be determination to kill
the prisoners, and it was with the
greatest difficulty that the demon-like
crowd could be restrained. The men
were finally locked in the opera house,
