non-union workman employed MT the
upper union mills. was assaulted by
three men, while on his way to work
this morning, and badly beaten. His
assailants were arrested and taken to

cognized as Edward thinner, q striker,
and Thomas Connors, a former employe.
Reams' injuries are painful, but not
dangerous. This is the first trouble
since the beginning OF the strike at the

siderable excitement, but Police Super

more trouble, and only the usual num-
Der of officers are on duty about the

PITTSBURGH, PA, August 1o.-The
differences between the iron manufac-
tprers and tho Amalgamased Associa-
tion have been amicably settled by
mutual concessions and the threatened
strike OF ironworkers in this city and
tho west has been averted. Fifteen
mills will resume at once and the other
plants will start up as soon as neces-
sary repairs can be made. This is the
result OF the conference Of the joint
committee OF iron manufacturers
and members of the Amalgamated AS
sociation to-day.
By the terms OF the agreement the
basis Of pudding remains at S. 80 per
ton, but the men in the finishing de-
partmeut have been reduced 10 per
cent. There are q few minor conces-
s;ops in the other departments. but just
what they are cannot be learned to-
night. There was q hard fight on the
pudding scale, but the manufacturers
finally consented to pay the old scale
mon tho workers conceding the reduc-
ton in the finishing department.
While the settlement directly affects
tho 25,OO0 or sc, 900 skilled workmen in
tho Amalgamated Association fully
100000 others are interested. The
news Of the signing OF the scale was re-
ceiyed with great rejoicing not only by
tho mill workers but every one in this
vicinity.
Tho settlement only effects the Pitts
burgh district, but it is thought that
the manufacturers Of the Shenango and
Mahoning valleys and the west will fall
in line and sign the scale. II has just
been learned that uader the agreement
the rate for pudding and rolling will
remain the same rs last year, except in
the plate department., which will be re-
duced from 72 10 80 cents. The extras
in this department, however, will be
paid on the basis of the old rate OF "
cents. The roll turner's will receive S.
per day. -,
As stated before the Pittsburg mills
will resume at once and the valley and
western mills will likely follow in few
days. In this city there are about 15,.
900 skilled workmen and as many more
who will be given employment by the
resumption Of operations.

No demands have been made OF the

presumably belonging to the union.
AT Monongah the miners held a meet

Tho same uncertainty exists there as

The demands have not as yet been made

MEMruls, TENN, August 10.-The city
was thrown into state Of intense ex-
citement when the announcement ap-
peared in this mornings papers that
Governor Buchanan had commuted the
sentence of Col. H. Clay King, who was
to have been hung on the 18th inst, for
the murder of D. II. Poston. This
mornings Appsal-AralaRche, in discuss
ing the subject, said:
"The governors power in the matter
is absolute and exclusive. The respon-
sibility is his alone. He isnot required
TO give reasons. He may yield to any
passing caprice to appeal to his sympa-
thies, to prejudice, and yet his authori-
ty remains undisputabIe and supreme.
II his determination OF the King case is
10 be taken as a precedent then We sec
no reason why any other criminal
should ever be hanged in Tennessee.
King, in cold blood, after careful delib-
Grafton, shot down David Ii. Poston,
unarmed and unsuspecting. 1t was n

victim was given no chance to defend
himself. There could not have been q
murder more heinous. When the trial
was had, the murderer himself, with
the most extraordinary assurance, pro-
tested against the Introduction Of the
insanity plea"
THE GOVERNOR DENOUNCED.
The Evening Scimier vehemently de-
nounces the Governor in sensational
editorial abounding in such sentences
as these:
"He has spit upon the courts OF the
state and nation and held out his hand
to save an assassin in whose person
was centered, and upon whose fate de-
pended whether money and influence
in the south was sufficient to make a
distinction between persons convicted
OF cold. blooded murder.
"The rescue OF II. Clay King from
the galIows, to which all Of the courts
OF the country after careful review Of
the evidence had condemned him, was
O crime more damnable even than the
murder OF Poston.
Gle has risen above all law, all rights
and all justice. What King did as a
citizen he has done as the chief execu-
tive Of the state. He has taken the law
into his hands. He has justified the
murder OF Poston. Flo has saved the
assassin. He has taken the smoking
pistol from Kings hands, stepped into
his shoes, dipped his hands in the
blood OF his victim and trampled upon
the already outraged law. He has
turned a deaf ear to the pleadings of
thevictim's family for justice. He has
made the governor OF the state the
champion OF murderers."
These publications aroused intense
feeling. A mass meeting was arranged
for tonight at which Governor Buchan-
an was to have been hung in cftigy. 1t
was given out that the Jail would be at
tackled and the notorious prisoner
lynched,
