New CUMBERLAND, March 4.-The
manufacturing OF FIRE brick 10 Hancock
county dates back about fifty years TO
its infancy, when, Of course, the busi-
ness was small, as are all new enter

were called, increased gradually from
time to time, until the number reached
twenty-one, although there is only
about twelve In operation at present,
the Others having wiited and fallen by
the wayside years ago, owing to the
meagre demand for their product. The
market fer brick was mostly confined

situated along the river from Pittsburg
to Cairo, and the sugar plantations OF
Louisiana. the latter poina being met
by the competition OF English friedrich,
which were considered by the planters
superior for furnace purposes to the
Hancock brick, and brought better
prices. Upon the Introduction of the
Bessemer process for making steel direct
from the ore, the demand for the brick
declined to very nominal figure,
so much so, In fact, that manufacturers

MIN WOUNDED
IN A BIG ROW AT NEW CUMBERLAND, SAT-
URDAY NIGHT.
The Latest News From the Scene Of the Brik-yard
Strikss-A Fear Of More Violence
to Come.

The situation at the fire brick yards
I'D at New Cumberland is not very sat
isfactory.
The strike shows decided tendency
to spread, there is much excitement
consequent upon the arrival OF nom
union men, and an attempt which Is ex-
pected to start one or two Of the yards
up to-day will, it is feared, result in
trouble.
Saturday night there was row OF Sc
rious proportions, In which one man
was shot and others wounded and cut.
The following telegram was received
by the REGISTER last night:
There is not much change in the sit
uation at the john Porter Co. orics
yards. The company are attempting to
start the Eagle aud Rockyside plants
with new men at the reduction, but as
vet have not succeeded, although de-
tectlves were employed to protect the
plants. These detectives were ordered
by the New Cumberland authorities TO
get out of town, which they propose to
do. A committee Of some sixteen from
the Sligo yard visited these upper yards
and tried to induce the new men to come
out, with but little success, and as re-
suit also two of them were
fred from the yard by the de-
tectives. Returning, they succeeded In
getting the kiln burners at the Sligo
yard to quit work, and now everything
at this latter yard is locked up and at
standstill. The officials Of the Company
have been away after new men, and 1t
is authoritatively stated that car load
were on their way here, but were stop
ned owing to the temper Of the old en-
ployes being at white heat. A row
took place among the Rockyside Huns,
Yesterday, In which one of the number
received two bullets in the leg, produc-
ing flesh wounds. Other also received
cuts. The row was the result OF
the determination Of some Of the
Huns TO go to work. Foreman
Adams. of the Sligo yards, states that
notices were not given or posted OF any
reduction in the yard, and that the men
struck through sympathy with the 9TH
er Yards. He reiterates that their
places are ready for them at any time
at the old wages, Sl.35. 1t Is stated
that the management are anxious to
settle the difficulty speedily, as they
will be at an enormous loss on spring
work and trrde However, IL is charged
that in their design to reduce wages,
such reduction will also govern the
wages OF fifteen or twenty outside

Vile Saturday says:
Matters at New Cumberland were
lively last night and to-day. A number
Of imported watchmen. two OF them
from this city, were overhauled by
strikers and allowed to leave the State
to escape "arrest." The company is
accused OF violating the anti-Pinker-
tor act. Last night carload OF I'M
ported workmen was run into New
Cumberland. and the striking and resi-
dent workmen took charge of them, az
ter searching the car for the agent and
Interpreter who was said to have en-
gagged them. All the men'i In this ship
ment were persuaded to leave. These
men were loud in their protostatlons
that the situation had been misrepre-
sented TO them.
The men at the John Porter & Co.'s
works are alert and ugly. President
Mack and Secretary Lance have kept
ont of New Cumberland since the in
auguration of the strike, leaving the
entire management OF the fight on the
shoulders of superintendent Boren,
who is working DESPERATELY to clear up
the mess.
Last night Brick Inspector Donald

Mack, wearing the same kind OF ulster,

The Business of housekeeping.

A fine and profitable business for women,
pursued as profession, is that of house
keeping. Every woman thinks herself
fitted to keep house." but in sober truth
those who are really fitted for it-that Is,
those who are thoroughly educated in its re-
quirements so that they would have right
to practice it as they would any other trade
or profession and receive money for it--are
by no means many. Yet If the women who
have peculiarly strong domestic inclina-
tons would recognize that the trend OF
their talent is toward housekeeping and
then prepare themselves seriously from the
first step to the last there would be sensi-
bic addition made to the comfort of the
world and new opening established
through which many women, instead OF
now and then one, could earn their liveli-
hoods.
As it is now, when there seems to be moth.

A Bankers Mistake,

II recently heard" said Mr.. Gage, "of q
banker in Wisconsin, a man of iron firm
ness, who, hearing of bank troubles In
many localities, determined that he would
not lend dollar, but would collect every
claim due. He enjoyed the entire conf
dence of the community, being a man of
undoubted responsibility. Soon after the
banker had determined upon this policy a
man of substance applied to him for a loan
of $780, The banker refused roughly ON the
ground that he could not spare the money.
The would be borrower, from whose mind
the illusion had not yet been dissipated
that bank was fountain from which
wealth flowed, was shocked and panied. He
went about among other members of the
community expressing his grief that this
banker WAS in such a distressing situation.
Certain depositors put their own construc-
ton upon the meaning of all this. Within
a week the banker himself was a humble
borrower in Chicago. having paid in hard
cash % per cent of his liabilities to the
community which had lost faith in him"

How Big Foot Died,

On the morning of Dec. 20, in his teepee,
Big Foot, the Sioux chief, lay dying of
pneumonia, while before the lodge, squat
ting in a half circle, was his entire band Of
warriors, fear, hatred and despair written
on their grim faces. Five hundred men
surrounded them soldiers of the regular
army, commanded by Colonel Forsythe
Hotchkiss guns were mounted and trained
to command the camp, and at o'clock the
order was given to disarm the redskins.
By Big Foot's side crouched his faithful
squaw, ministering to his wants as well as
she could. The flap of the teepee was lifted,
and the chief could look out upon the scene
that was being enacted. He had surrend-
cred to the whites In good faith, but not
ing the ominous preparations of the fully
| armed soldiers he began to fear all his fol.
lowers were to be butchered without show
for their lives. He knew the warriors
feared the same, although they spoke no
words, for he saw the looks that were
flashed from side to side beneath scowling
brows.
The order came for the Indians to deliver
up their arms in squads of twenties. The
first squad delivered two useless muskets.
This so angered the officers that, after a
hasty consultation, the order was given for
the cavalrymen to dismount and close in.
This they did, taking stand within 20 feet
of the redskins. Then detachment was
directed to go through the teepees and
search for arms.
Big Foot tried to lift himself to his ell
bow, the fire of battle flashing from his
black eyes, but his strength was far spent,
and he sank back feebly. Then, all at once,
weird sound broke on the frosty air 1t
came from the throat Of the dying chief,
and it was death chant. The warriors
outside took it up, and the plaintive wall
of their voices echoed back from the fur
| thermost bluffs.
| All at once, in the twinkling of an eye,
the chant changed to war song Out from
beneath their blankets leaped their loaded
rifles as they sprang to their feet and they
opened fire to the right and left on the
startled soldiers. The warriors who had no
rifles leaped like tigers at the whites, their
hatchets and knives ready for red work.
"Firel" rang the command, and the sol
diers returned the volley
Remember Custerr' That was the bat
| tie cry of the whites
Slowly Big Foot arose to his feet, max
| ing one fearful struggle to fling off the grip
of death that was on him and join his peo-
| pie in battle against the hated whites. His
face was working convulsively and his eyes
blazing. To his full height he arose, his
lips parted, to utter wild warcry. Then
he was riddled by 90 bullets and fell for
ward on his face without uttering sound
fell as falls the mighty monarch of the
forest when riven by the lightning's blast
His squaw shrieked and sprang up, but the
remorseless bullets cut her down, aid she
sank across Big Foot,s body
And merciful death yelled the eyes of the
chief to the horrible slaughter of his people
that followed-a slaughter that was mis-
called the battle of Wounded Knee
