his gun. The shot was answered by the
strikers, and a fusillade ensued which
lasted for half an hour.
Alter the first fusillade the boats
withdrew from the sho e, and desultory
firing was kept up on both sides for sew
eral hours. During this time the strik-
ers secured n cannon, and, planting it
on the opposite side OF the river, placed
the guards between two fires.
About 10 O'Clock the men on the
barges made another attempt TO land,
and desperate battle followed, in
which rifles in the hands OF the strikers
and Pinkerton men and the cannon did
terrible execution. While this fight was
in progress the strikers poured oil into
the river above the barges and set it on
fire. The boats were soon surrounded
by flames, and caught fire in several
places. The guards were unable 10

breathless silence. Like ants thousands
of the sons of Vulcan swarmed the bank
to the waters edge. Capt. Heinde, OF
tho Pinkertons, raised plank from tho
deck of the barge nearest the shore.
One OF his men also grasped the big
board. and one end was showed ashore.
Then there was shout as of Spartans
at the Tiber. One man stepped on the
plank and went ashore. He was
grabbed by the crowd and was seen no
more. Captain Heinde followed. He
had taken one step on the plank when
he fell with shot in the leg. The men
behind him turned their Winchesters on
the crowd and like whirring of bees
were the volleys which passed.
Twenty-three Shot.
Five Pinkerton men fell, one fatally
shot through the head. The strikers
lost six killed and twelve wounded, but
the boats were repulsed and withdrew
into mid stream.
1t was all over so quickly that not
until the boats returned to the shelter
of the fog did the strikers realize the
damage done their fellows. Never more
scintillating fire shot from the eyes OF
demons. Utterly reckless and frenzied
the howitzers were ordered ready, and
barrels of oil were loaded on barge, to
be fired and sent against the boats.
Slowly the craft returned. The firing
was renewed and returned from the
boats, and again numbers OF the strikers
fell. Then came the grand coup of the
strikers. The gun on the little yacht
Edna was turned against the craft and
one on shore belched its fire upon its
human freight.
Blazing oil Sent Down stream.
Finally oil was liberated from the bar
rels above by the men and was fired.
The fiery track was not broad enough,
and with a little shifting the blazing
stream passed harmlessly by. This
failure to canse retreat added to the an
ger OF the strikers, and, towing their
scow into proper position, they broke in
the heads OF the barrels, fired the oil,
and sent the craft down on the boats.
The men now have complete possession
of the works, and unless Gov. Pattison
orders out troops they will continue in
possession.
First Victory for Strikers.

Arsenic I'm Wall Paper.

The report of the State Board Of
Health relative to arsenic in wall paper
was submitted to the Massachusetts
Legislature on the 10th ult. 1t was
found that of LOIS samples collected in
twenty cities and towns, 3S9 contained
arsenic in appreciable quantities. About
B per cent of the papers manufactured
to-day contain more than one-tenth of "a
grain of arsenic per square yard, against
80 per cent, approximately, ten years
ago. Between 90 and 40 per cent. of
the papers sold are free from arsenic,
while about 6 per cent. contain more
than one-twentieth of a grain per square

Abijah Stone was a Vermont farmer
who had a great fondness for horses.
He often said that "thaout no dis
respect { human bein's, it did APP
pear S eff some bosses he'd full as
much sense as tn common run o folks. L"
His conversation was tinged by this be-
lief, and he drew many an illustration
from his favorite animals. On one oc-
casion this habit of his was the cause of
much confusion to a young man to
whom Mr.. Stone was talking.
The young man was u profession al
musician who had been spending part of
the summer at neighboring farm house,
and had had the audacity to fall in love
with Mr.. Stones pretty daughter Jenny.
He was listening to the farmers various
reasons for opposing his suit one sum-
mer evening, just before his return to
the city.

interrupted Abiiah.
1t was, replied the pianist, with
glow of reminiscent prize in his late
performance.

mouth, you might lead my Jenny up t
