MOUNT B1NA SPLITTING FIRE

Shocks of Earthquake.

A Thick Column of Smoke and Several
Shocks of Earthquake.
ROME. July 9.-Mount Etna was un-
usually active to-day. A thick column of
smoke, in which lightning flashes were seen,
issued from the crater and rose to a great
hight in the air. Then blown by the wind
10 covered Catania with an immense cloud
Quantities Of lava and ashes were also
elected from the crater. The phenomena
lasted for an hour. Several shocks OF
earthquake occurred during the morning,
the tremors being felt throughout the
whole district.
MADE IT LIVELY IN THREE TOWNS.
The siesmic disturbances were especially
severe In the towns Of Zaffarana, Nicolosi
and Giarre, which are situated ON the east
ern aud southern slopes OF the mount The
people of these places were thrown into Il
great state OF terror by the tremblings of
the earth. They fled from their homes
panic stricken and spent the night en-
camped in the open air. Zaffarana Jared
the worst OF any Of the places visited by the
earthquakes. One person was killed there
by falling walls and considerable property
was damaged.
From midnight last night until 6 O'Clock
tonight seven distinct shocks OF earth
Quakes occurred in Catania. A hssure has
opened at the summit OF Mount Esna and
q stream of lava is rapidly flowing down
the side OF the mountain and threatens to

condition of employment OF s25. the change Is
general and the whole are involved.
1t is stated by the company with much force
that it is not thetr desire to reduce their work
men below others. The cost of production TO
the Carnegie company at Homestead Is de-
cidedly in favor of the company as compared
with mills Of that character. It can now be
shown that they cannot establish their com
plant in that direction.
In arranging the schedules Of wages to govern
iron and steel workers. there are innumeraole
things which must receive attention II Justice
must prevail. The intricacies referred to are
such as to render liable erroneous views 10 be
drawn by those not familiar with the trade
from their discussion In the public press. There
can be no legitimate reason why the Carnegie
company should deny to their Homestead
which they complain could be analyEed, and, II
found unjust made right. The men make no
fairer proposition than this for the simple rea-
son than none fairer is possible. II argument
and honest reasoning were substituted for re-
serve and coldness Of manner, as seen in the
company's present attitude, there could be
reason to expect any end OF this deploraOle
state of affairs. Does it not seem strange that
the Carnegie company look with distrust upon
tho organization OF the Homestead employees.
while at several OF its large mills they have for
several years encouraged the organization or
men, and at this moment are getting along
satisfactory together? surely it will not be
charged that the men Of Homestead are less in
teiligent or less entitled to those rights which
are the principles of organized labor and which
are inseparable from their citizenship. There
are uons who regret the lamentable occurrences
OF the past few days more than those
who the Carnegie company charge with
having been instrumental in bringing them
about We are willing to allow the public TO
judge after the evidence is all in whether their
charges are true We feel that erroneous
statements given out relative to our conduct
will be removed by an impartial investigation
in due time. Until then We prefer to forget our
recent sad GXDDTieQCe

The Notifications used by the strikers

as to strengthen the weak points on the

been taken on the other side of the works,

fort and it will take a large force OF men to

The breastworks are so arranged that il

by retrsating few steps and can continue
in the same course until driven inside the

converting mill is pile Of pig iron about
fifteen feet high, on the outer side of which

So perfect is their organization, so numer-
Gus are their sentinels up and down the
river that q surprise seems next to impos-
sible from any force. The men have ap-
parantly made up their minds that sooner
or later the mill owners will make another
effort to resume their dominion here and
every preparation is being made to repel
that effort when it comes. Several times
to-day workmen have be9n disturbed by
rumors that the Pinkertons were massing
fresh force of men to attack tire Home
stead strikers. One Of these got afioat at /

Pinkerkon with 800 men were coming via

Thirteen Pinkertons are still in the West
Penn hospital too seriously injured to be
moved Fourteen were taken away yester-
day and ten to-day. The democratic
county committee met this afternoon and
adopted resolutions sympathizing with the

The crew were all rescued by steam
launch belonging TO Shepard Knapp Of this
city, and late in the evening were landed at
the docks of the Erie railway in Jersey
City.
Capt Tilden, who is In charge of the
proving grounds, said tonight that nobody
was aware that the vessel was sunk until
the steam launch with the rescued men re-
ported it. He offers suggestion that the
shot struck one Of this saud dunes and was
DETECTED, because the schooner was three
quarters OF a mile away from the line Of
direct fire.

didn't get chance to win that marksman's
badge to-day, neither did the troopers do
anything IN the line Of duty except guard
duty. Rain begun falling early this morn
ing and a more unpleasant day was never
witnessed in this place. Col Gordon, seeing
the hostile attitude OF the elements toward
the regular work Of the day, issued an or
der after the firing OF the day break gun this
morning that no bugle call should be
sounded. knowing If one was sounded his
men would respond and he did not wish 10
jeopardize their health by forcing them out
in the rain. AS the rain continued
all day the men simply remained In their
tents, spun yarns, played jokes and spent the
time In other ways not new to old soldiers
under similar circumstances. Tonight the
elements show no signs of fair weather,
and it is reasonably certain that IL the pre-
scribed work on the range is completed
Monday it will be done under disad want
ages more adverse TO success than even
the Cadets were subject to on last Monday.

LONDON, July 9.-The Standard says
''The latest election returns dissipste the
dream of Mr.. Gladstone that he would
obtain a majority OF his own aud tend
rather to discourage the belief that he will
get a majority OF any sort. Whatever the
future may have in store the contingency Of
working home rule majority may
altogether be excluded"
The Chronicle says: "The government's
disgraceful attempt to disfrnnchise the
workmen has succeeded. From nearly
every constituency we have received reports
OF the failure Of the workmen to reach the
poll. 1t cannot be doubted that the defeat
OF Jones, the liberal candidate at Peckham,
was primarily due to this cause"

1t Is by no means pleasant to dissent from the
methods which sincere friends adopt when their

but when they also seek to subserve the public

objection, because it rests upon the sentiment
that name now sacred ia home circle as a

A BREAK FOR LIB sRTY.
Negro Gives Leg Bail to JUSTICES
Court at Reidsville.

court at ReidBV1lle.
REIDsvILLE, GA, July 9.-To-day one
OF the most dramatic scenes occurred at
Reidsville that has ever been witnessed in
and around court house. About three
days ago the deputy sheriff landed in jail
at this place a negro named Owen
Fonville, charged with the larceny of a box
Of snuff from Mr.. Merritt, a turpentine
operator living near Reidsville. Judge II.
4. Smith, who is justice OF the peace,
opened court this morning for the purpose
of giving the prisoner a preliminary hear
ing. The defendant claimed that
he was not ready, and moved
the court for a continuance. His honor iu-
timated he would grant q continuance, pro-
vided there was an absent witness. About
this time the negro asked leave OF the sheriff
to speak privately with Mr.. Merritt, the
prosecutor. The sheriff granted his request
MIR. Merritt and the defendant stepped to
the court house door. The negro asked
Merritt Z there would be any chance to
settle the case, and upon being told by
Merritt that the case had gone too far for
him to advocate a settlement, the negro
replied, 81 am gone" Mr.. Merritt cried,
Hes gone" This created a sensation in
the court room. First the lawyers. then
the honorable justice and sheriff started
after the negro, who was making good
speed. II was amusing to see Justice
Smith chase the negro into the branch
without pal or weapon. At this writing the
negro is still at large, but Justice Smith
the sheriff and about ten men armed with
guns and pistols and dogs, are in pursuit
and no doubt il he is found swift justice
will be meted out at once without any
known IN this section as notoriously bad
negro.
