Mob Killed an Engineer.

BRAZIL, Ind, June "A crowd of an
CRY miners blockaded No. l Vandalia
west bound freight train east of here and
stoned the trainmen. The engineer, VIII
liam Barr, was struck on the head by o
heavy stone and instantly killed. Brake
man A. j. Harshman was hit in the back
and badly hurt. The strikers continued
throwing stones until every window in
the caboose and engine was broken. The
excitement is intense. The officers are in
hot pursuit of the strikers. The dead en-
gineer and injured brakeman homes are
In Terre Haute
A crowd of strikers also stopped the
mixed train carrying freight and passen-
gers between this place and Clay City, ON
the Evansville and Terre Haute road. The
train was hauling several cars of coal tax
en- from a side track near Clay City and
was bound for Chicago. Miners had been
diligently guarding the coal and quickly
organized a crowd of several hundred to
stop the train. The train carries the Unit
cd States mail, and it was thought that
the miners would permit the train to come
to this city when aware of that fact, but
they were unruly and obstinate and re-
fused to allow the train to move. The
coal was sidetracked.
The miners stopped a freight train car
rying four cars of coal at Montgomery
seven miles east of Washington and tw,
miles west of Cannelsburg, on the Balti

MOD sim Rnles McKee.nort.

MCkEEsPoRT, Pa, June 7.-Notwith-
standing that the mayor and chief of po-
lice claim to be able to control the riotous
element here, it remains evident that what
the crowd wishes to do is done without
molcstation from officers. The town has
been under practical control of an unor-
ganiZed mob.
The first appearance of daybreak brought
the crowds from their retirement, some
from their homes, but many from guard
duty along the river and railroads, which
We're most thoroughly patrolled during
the night because of the rumor that depu-
ties were coming. BY 8 o'clock large
crowds had congregated at the B. and o.
depot and in front CT the mill gates, ready
for anything.
Nothing more serious than thrashing a
Hun occurred until IL o'clock, when the
mob, with whoops and yells, made n rush
for the Davitt and Mcintyre tipples
across the river in Point View. Both of
these tipples were destroyed and the slack
piles fired, and they are now burning flu
riously. The mob, after accomplishing its
mission, returned to the works. During
the afternoon and evening the crowd was
kept almost constantly on the go, some
times on false alarms, but oftener for the
purpose of carrying out somo plan for de-
struction of property.
Three barges of coal were cut loose at
McIntyres mine and floated down the riv-
err Duquesne pipe works were visited,
the men compelled to come out and the
mill closed down. Six carts of slack were
burned while in the Pittsburg and Lake
Erie yards because the strikers thought
they were intended for the tube works,
while in reality they were for shipment.
Then the crowd crossed the bridge to
Rhodes Station and fired Junker Broth
ers' chute and platform.
At midnight the town was quiet, and
the hard worked crowd was recruiting
strength probably for other raids. A strik-
er named Lauterbach, who was injured
Tuesday, died at the hospital last night.
When the mob reached Duquesnc, it had
increased to 6, 900 strikers and sympathiz
ers With yells they attacked the Du
quesne tube works, drove all the men al
work out of the plant, drew the fires an6
ran the hot metal from the furnaces Out
on the floors. The reasons the strikers
give for their actions were that the work:
were using black sheep coal. The assault
| was witnessed by thousands of spectators
thronging the SUBMITS of surrounding
| hills.
As the strikers left the mill one of the
men threw q plank in front of an ap
preaching freight train, nearly derailins
| it. They left the mill on a run and start
| cd back over the hills to attack the Goa
| pits in Miftlin township.

Ditched q Stock Train.

WELLINGTON, Kan, June 7.-Trouble
which has been brewing between the citi-
gems of Round Pond, o. T., and the Rock
Island company ever since the town of
Pond Creek sprang up and the company
placed its depot there, took II sensational
turn when the track was torn up and a
stock train ditched. Twelve carloads of
cattle were killed, but the trainmen es-
capped without fatal injury. Armed forces
have been dispatched by the railroad to
repair the track, and trouble is looked for,
as the citizens are armed with winchesters.

Two Killed at Kenova.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, June AT he

men who approached suspiciously from the
Ohio side, and two men are reported killed
and a number wounded. A miner says
the killed We're John Kessler and an Eng
lishman named Redmond.

BALTIMORE, June THE Federation of
Labor at its meeting discussed the strike.
Resolutions were adopted oondenning the
proclamation of Governor Brown and his
calling out the national guard on the
ground that he acted without sufficient
Information. The federation rendered its
sympathy especially to the Maryland min
ers now on strike, and pledged it's moral
and financial support.

Operators Want a Conference.

HARRISBURG, June IA message was
received at the executive department from

tie. They were willing to submit to the
militia, but declared they would never be
arrested until the troops arrived. Mayor
Lindsay and President Parker of tile First
National bank called up Sheriff Bowers
by telephone and begged him to stop his
deputies until the troops could reach
camp. Sheriff Bowers agreed to this, and
there is every reason to believe that there
will be no further hostiiities. Alex McIn-
tosh, representing the miners, announced
that they would lay down their arms i'm
mediately ON the arrival of tho state
troops. The deputies will follow the
troops to the minerss camp and serve the
warrants which they are said to hold for
200 strikers .

Pittsburg Operators Oppose Conference

PITTsBURG, June THE prospect for o
settlement of the miners strike by joint
conference committees meeting at Column
bus has come to naught SO far as the Pitts
burg district is concerned. The Pittsburg
committee appointed to represent the
operators of this district is divided, and
unless there is a change of sentiment a
aiority will oppose the Columbus confer
ence and will insist upon SO cent rate.
Meanwhile the thick vein operators of the
Youghiogheny valley are preparing to re-
sumo with new men under protection of
deputy sheriffS.

Irving to Start the Mines.

PITTsBURG, June THE first deter
mined effort of the coal operators in the
Pittsburg district to break the strike was
made at several places yesterday. At
Mahown the Youghiogheny Gas company
put into their mines 100 deputies heavily
armed to protect the nonunion men who
went to work. An outbreak is expected
today, when the strikers claim they will
have at least l 200 men on hand at day
break. They have been thrown into the
widest excitement by the arrival Of i'm
ported men and deputies. The operators
on the Youghiogheny and Greensburg will
also make an attempt to operate their
mines within the next 4S hours with i'm
ported men

region, and theexperienoe does not resem-
BILE playing soldier. The effect is that the
towns are under martial control. The
patrol is kept up In order to prevent, If
possible, a repetition of the dastardly dy-
Mantle outrage which took place near the
Eckhart mines yesterday. 1t has been
pretty well known for some time that q
number of the strikers were supplied with
dynamite, and some1of this or from an
other source was used on the house of
Charles Lancaster, one of the miners who
has stood by the company. Lancaster,
his wife and his sister were asleep in tho
house at the time, and their escape is al
most marvellous. The whole front of the
house was shattered. The explosion was
accepted by the miners as q warning of
what would occur, and many staid away
from work on this account, although pro-
tected in their passage to the mines by the
military. In spite of the protection ut the
five mines, only 125 men went to work.

ANOTHER JERSEY CRIME
Eli Buret and Wife Found by.
ing at a Crossroads.
EACH HAD BEEN SHOT IN THE HEAD

The Police Think That Buret Shot His
They Are Now at q Hospital In Jersey
City and May Not Recover.
JERSEY CITY, June 7.-Three young
men walking along the lonely road be-
tween North Bergen and West Hoboken
late last night were startled by stumbling
over the PROSTATE forms of man and
woman lying by the roadside. The wom-
an was moaning with pain and seemed
but partially conscious The man lay as
If dead.
The pickering light of a match revealed
a shocking scene. There was every evil
dence of an attempted murder and suicide
The woman was bleeding from pistol
wound in one side of her head, and the
man was suffering from a similar injury.
A revolver, lying close beside where the
man had fallen told the full tale of the
tragedy.
None of the young men recognized Ell
Their of the PROSTATE figures, and one of
them hurried to the nearest telephone sta
ton, while the others remained and tried
to stanch the flow of blood from the two
apparently fatal wounds.
Recognized by the Police.
were the first to learn>of the affair, and
the sergeant in charge Immediately dis
patched a squad of men to the spot where
the double shooting had occurred. 1t Is a
very lonely portion of the Paterson plank
road, near where it is crossed by the new
Bergen county boulevard.
AS soon rs the police arrived with Ian
terms the man and woman were recognized
as Eli Buret and his wife, Eliza.
Buret is the owner of hardware store
in West Hoboken and is looked upon as a
prosperous business man. He is about 80
years old, and his wife is of about the
same age.
From what meager information the po-
lice could obtain it seems that Buret and
his wife had been spending tho evening
with Mrs. Buret's mother in North Ber-
gen. When they left there to walk home
together they seemed to be in good spirits,
and there was no apparent reason for any
quarrel between them. 1t was thus i'm
possible to form any definit, theory of
what led up to the shooting.
Taken to Christ Hospital.
The police telephoned to Christ hospital,
| on Jersey City Heights, for assistance,
and in the course of an hour an ambulance
| reached the scene Of the shooting, and Mr..
| and Mrs Buret, still unconscious, were
removed to the hospital.
The surgeons at the hospital this morn
ing were unable to give any definite infor-
nation regarding the probability of the
! wounds proving fatal. Although the man
and woman had slightly regained con-
| seriousness, neither one of them would give
any details of what had led up to the shoot
| ing or how it occurred.
The West Hoboken police believe that
Buret first shot his wife and then tried to
| kill hinnsalf

PENN, Ills, June There was a
bloody battle at Little's coal mine, five
miles down the Illinois river from here
Word was received at Pekin that 500 min
ers from west of the river were about to
attack the mine Sheriff Broderick swore
in n posse and set out for the scene The
strikers assembled Mt Bentonville and
crossed the Illinois ferries There were
about 400 men and some women. The
sheriff and posse demonstrated with the
mob In vain.
The leader of the strikers, with n revolv-
er in each hand, cried out, Follow me!'
And the crowd charged on the mine. The
two Littles and their two sons and n col
ored man retreated to the tower above the
shaft and opened fire on the attacking
party, some of whom were seen to tall.
The fire was returned, and hundreds of
shots were fired in the side of the tower.
The Titles hoisted flag of truce, but the
firing did not cease 1t was feared the
powder house would be fired, and the
crowds rctreated. The air shaft was kept
closed
The killed are: John jackson, colored
a miner at Little's; Edward Bloom, one
of the strikers.
The wounded are: Ed Porter and Peter
Little of the bcsieged, the former shot in
the breast, probably fatally, the latter in
the arm. Half a dozen others were slight
ly hurt. There are number of miners in
the shaft who, it is feared, are suffocated.
Among them is Gus MoritZ.
The Little mine is one of the few ma
chine mines in this district and has kept
working through all the trouble, the Lit
tie Brothers themselves doing most of the
work and keeping the machines going.
In the meantime a lot of men with
buckets of kerosene had saturated the
woodwork of the buildings and half doz-
en- coal cars standing near and applied a
match. When the flames began to rise,
the besieged men were forced to drop their
place of shelter and make dart for life.
1t was then that the fatal shooting was
done.
After the defenders of the mine had been
driven off the mob stood about and watch
ed the destruction of the building. The
fire was spread to the powder house, locat-
ed short distance from the other build
ings, and it exploded with a frightful
roar. After this the mob returned to its
boats, crossed the river and scattered
among the ravines and hills.

RICHMOND, Va, JAN 21.-The bold stand
