SHARP REPRlSAL.


T.ynchins Of Dick Drummond. One Of the
Alleged Wanderers of Private William
Lougherty at BricevilIe, Tenn. Presum-
able bv Comrades Of the Murdered Sol
dfer--ThinEs Looking Threatening Again
at Coal Greek.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 11.-Dick
Drummond, the assassin of Private
William Lougherty at Briceville, Mon
day night, was taken from his boarding
house at o'clock yesterday morning
and hanged from high railroad trestle
near that village. The deed is sup
posed to have been committed by q
number of Fort Anderson soldiers who
were comrades Of the murdered pri-
vate.
Drummond was left hanging to the
trestle until o'clock. when his body
was cut down and the coroner's inquest
held, which reported death at the
hands of unknown persons.
The affair created the greatest ex-
element in the mining district and
many were the threats made against
the soldiers.
The evidence against DruInmond
was obtained by stringing up miner
named Elkins who, to save himself
from death at the hands of the soldiers,
divulged the Who'll. story, which inn
p1icated Drummond and a miner
named Moore. the last-named of whom
escaped, together with Dave Woods,
who was run ont of the district to
keep from being lynched. 80.
When the news of the troubl first
became known in Knoxville. yesterday
morning, some excitement was caused,
and the universal opinion of all is that
the labor riots of last summer are
about on the eve of repetition.
Yesterday morning 1000 miners went
out on general strike from the thir-
teen mines located in and around Coal
Creek and Bricevi1le, causing them to
shut down for the first time in a year.
The only mine now running is that of
the Knoxville Iron Co., which still
works convicts, and fears are enter
tanned that they may be released and
the stockades burned by the striking
miners.
The cause of yesterdays strike is the
reduction of 90 per cent. in wages by
the Coal Creek companies, to which the
miners would not agree. In lieu of this
the company offered a like reduction
in house-rents and store supplies; but
as this would only benefit the miners
with families it was not accepted.
The miners are doing great deal OF
talking and are very much excited.
Outbreaks are expected at any time.
A dispatch received late last night
from Lieut.. Fife, at Fort Anderson,
corroborates the above and says that
trouble was feared last night, though
they were fully prepared to meet any
emergency. Company D., of this city,
is now in readiness and will go to Coal
Creek at moments notice.

1t is really surprising what a diff
ference there is between the before
taking" and ''after taking" people in
the patent medicine advertisements.
Not merely in facial appearance, be-
cause this is to be expected, but in
clothes. Before taking a certain wonder
full panacea the patient is not only hag-
gard and distressed, but his shirt is rum
pied, his collar wilted, his coat shabby
and badly fitting, his hair uncombed.
After taking, his shirt and collar are
freshly laundered, his coat sets snugIy
on his rounded form, he has acquired
a diamond stud, and his hair is not only
combed but curled. A provincial fGf<
niture dealer, advertising in the same
spirit, shows the people who use Ills
furniture revealing in all the enjoy
ments of wealth and health, while the
family that puts up with ordinary
furniture is discovered to be torn with
internal dissension, half fed, dowiily
dressed, and afflicted with freckles.
The windows are broken, and young
er son is teasing the cat.
One or two shops on Fifth avenue,
New York, have carried the imitation
"a AIAAS AAcAA SuSCOA 81 4dI dS 10 Close
the front door, admittance being had
only on ringing bell. An old travel
er says: THAT is little piece of snob-
berry that we will soon outgrow. Amer
leans won't stand it. It makes them
feel as if they were under surveillance
to have to ring bell and be ushered
into a waiting room by a uniformed
porter. In Europe, where many of
the shopkeepers are too poor or stingy
to hire clerk, the proprietors live in
back rooms, and leave the shop vacant
until somebody rings. Then, for the
trouble of admitting him, they expect
him to make a purchase, and they NAV
be insulting If he doesn't. But here no
shopl<eeper can be long successful who
doesn't make us free of his place. and
if he tries any obvious dodge to make
us buy what we don't want we never
call on him again. On general princi-
pies ] never patronize an American
shop that has door bell"
