RALPHAEL the London astrologer,
forecasts January MS follows: The first
new moon in the year occurs shortly
after midnight on the 18th inst, at
which time the beginning of Scorpio,
whith Uranus there, will be rising in
the east; Saturn will occupy the cusp
on the 18th in opposition to Mars and
Jupiter on the cusp of the 9th. Venus,
Metcury and the luminaries will be in
or near the Sd house. AT the previous
full moon Saturn was exactly Oh the
9th house, with the sun and moon in
exact square and Jupiter nea. the op-
position. These positions and aspects
augur Ill for the public health, and n
severe epidemic of influenza or small
pox may be expected. 1t will be n
month full of the most serious appre-
pensions as to health and sanitary
arrangements. Sickness will be very
prevalent, and the bill of mortality
very heavy. There will be much agi-
tation and many strikes of alarming
proportions, and masters and men will
disagree much. The lights afflicted by
Saturn denote heavy wrecks and ca
lamities on the high seas, railway col
Iisions at home, great storms and col
liery disasters.

BATTLE IN A CHURCH.
The Lawson-sWinford Vendetta Renewed
Near Anderson, Ind.

ANDERSON, Jan. 10.-The Lawson
Swinford vendetta broke out in Forest
chapel Sunday during service, and as q
result several persons were wounded
and some may die.
Forest chapel is five miles frcm here.
Sunday the Swinfords appeared in pub
Lie places wearing red ribbons. The
Lawsons knew by this sign that their
enemies were after them, and they ac-
cordingly armed themselves. The roads
were in fine condition and the little
church was crowded to its utmost ca
pacity. The subject of the pastors SER
mon was, peace on earth, good will to
men,"
Suddenly there was a crash near the
door. The expected battle had begun.
The combatants were all over the
crowded room, and slungshots, clubs,
stones, revolvers and other weapons
were in the air. The worshipers were
panic-stricken. Women screamed and
men shouted. Shot after shot rang out.
The Swinfords were now pressing the
fighting and the Lawsons were trying
to retreat. At last the Lawsons rallied
and dragged their wounded from the
house and started to retreat across the
woods. The Swinfords followed but a
short distance, being held off by the
rapid firing of the retreating party.
Nine Injured.
The following is list of the injured.
Bill Lawson, two cuts on head, nose
mashed and other injuries.
SAINT Manis, bruised and cut about
head and face; seriously hurt.
Arthur Lawson, several bruises and
cuts; weak from loss of blood.
irwin Lawson, seven bad cuts on
scalp, supposed to be dangerously hurt.
Joe Swinford, ear nearly cut off by a
slungshot. face cut and severely hurt.
Albert Swinford, cut on head and
neck; dangerously hurt, may not live.
Louis Swinford, black eyes, several
cuts and bruises.

down and skull fractured.

Among the Men in the Carnegie Steol
Works.

Among the Men in the Carnegie Stcol
Works.
PITTsBURG. Jan. 10.-Discontent ex-
lists among men in the Homestead steel
works. This dissatisfaction is no greater
among the ex-strikers than among the
non-union men, who claim that they
are not being paid the wages promised
them by agents of the Carnegie Steel
company throughout the country when
entering the service of the firm. The
growing of the old hands becomes
more ominous each day, and it is the
opinion, not only of men who work in
the mill, but of Homestead citizens
generally, that by spring the Carnegie
company will have another Homestead
strike on its hands.
The scale presented by the company
last June, it has all along been claimed
by the firm, contemplated
A Reduction in the Wages
of only the high-priced men. 1t is under
this scale, it was stated by a company
official in Homestead Monday, that the
men are now working. Returned strikers
deny this, and produce figures to sub
stantiate their assertions.
Under the old scale cupola foremen
in the old converter were paid $2.56 per
hundred tons, iron tappers $1.6S per
hundred tons, and ladle men S1,6S per
hundred tons.
A comparison of these rates with
those at present paid in the new con-
verting, show cupola foremen now re-
ceiving $1.31 per hundred tons; iron tap
pers sixty-four cents per hundred tons,
and ladlenen $1.40 per hundred tons.
Under the old scale eight-hour turns
were the rule, while now the convert
ing mill men swelter twelve hours for a
turn. Like reduction in wages and cor
responding increase in hours is in effect
in every department.
Should it come to question of organ
izing for
Another Strike,
which, Judging from present indica-
tions, is not at all improbable, the non
union men in the works will be taken
as they are as loud, if not more so, in
their denrnciation of the treatment
they have received at the hands of the
company as are the ex-strikers.

Passengers Are Hurt.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 10.-Five persons
were injured at a late hour Sunday
night in collision between a street car
and a New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio locomotive at the Union street
crossing. a Eewburg belt line electric
motor going towards the city was ap-
preaching the crossing at high rate of
speed. The approach to the track on
Union street at that point is down
grade.
The motorInan lost control of the car
on account of the slippery condition of
the rails and it dashed into a freight
engine which was crossing Union street.
The motor car was badly wrecked.
TIE passengers were thrown violently
together and against the far end Of the
car. The screams of the women and
children were frightful for few mo-
ments.
As soon as possible the motorman,
conductor and uninjured passengers
began to care for the wounded. They
were:
J. Peeler. bruised on the head.
Arthur Iaffler, cut i'll the face with

nue., cut in face and head.
