er. STRIKE IN PENNSYLVANIA.
CokS Workers to the the Number oi
10000 Called Out.-Vioirnce
inau1uratsd.

fen thousand coke Workers in the Union
town district struck on the End.
From the outset the strike was turbulent,
with q tendency to open defiance OF law. IL
grew steadily worse and there were more
serious outbreaks. The men OF the oliver
works left /, 500 tons OF coke burning up In
the ovens. The company then, 10 save the
property, attempted to put some men at work
drawing the coke, when the strikers set on
them with stones and clubs, driving them
from the grounds. In the melee several men
we're badly hurt
The greatest outbreak was at the famous
Hill Farm mines. About 400 forcigners from
Morrell aud Weller, Of the Cambria works,
armed themselves with guns and revolvers
and clubs and started to drive otit the tncn
from the plants. They first visited the Hum
phrey works, and, finding the men at work,
drove them away under the tnuzEles OF pistols.
They then visited the Anchor works. After
all tho men had been driven away, the rioters
began firing the shanties at Hill FRrm, but
desisted at the frantic entreAtles Of the wo-
men and children.
The situation throughout the entire region
at the close OF the second days strike Of the
miners and coke workers is very alarming
and 1t looks rs II bluodshed and destruction
of property will only be aver,ed by resort to
tho military power Of the state. As In 1891
the strikers have been receiving food sup
piles from the company stores which was cui
Off from them Tuesday. The great horde OF
foreigners require food and have not the
means to obtain 1t. The only way to secure
1t Is by sacking tie company's stores, and tc
do this they must overpower deputy shcrfs
who nre standing guard with Winchestcrs
Operators In the region are very apprehensive
and fear the strikers will destroy property Id
every section Of the region.
More serious rloting followed on Wcdnes
! day. A mob Of strikers attacked the David
son works at Connelsville. When ordered tc
keep off the premises they advanced and were
fired Upon. The mob returned the fire and
charged the deputies, driving them from the
works. Chief Engineer Paddock of the Fricl
company was shot In the back OF the heat
and the strikers beat him and crushed hil
head with stones and threw bis body from
tipple window to the ovens forty feet below
They attempted to fire the tipplc, but lef
when they saw the deputies returning with Q
large force from Connclsville. The pursuing
party shot and killed two Of the strikers
About ninety OF them were arrested ant
taken to Connelsville. There was great DIFF
| hculty In preventing lynching.

The Federal Court May Order Its Aban-
donment.
The announcement made by Judge Cald-
well Mt Omaha during the session on the Tn.
Ion Pacific wage case, that he would order
operations discontinued on the Denver, Lead
Vile and GunnIson or South Park road, has
crcnted a good deal OF comment, but 1t Ia
doubled II Judge Caldwell will really carry
this threat into execution. Judge Caldwell
made this remark after Mr.. Dickinson Had
said that the road did not pay operating ex-
penscs. lie said that the court would not op-
crate dead member and he would order the
road abandoned as soon as the trial was fn-
ishcd. Judge Thur.ton added that the re-
ccivers were formulating a petition in regard
10 the road, but the court declared that he
would act before the receivers.
This road, including the branch 70 Gunni-
sen, is 2s2 miles long. 1t was built by Gov.
crnor Evans during the Leadville excitement,
and for n long tino was the best paying road
in the country. 1t is the shortest line be-
tween Denver and Leadville, the distance be-
Ing I5l miles, while by tho Midland 1t is 2l0
miles and by the Rio Grande 273. The road
was sold TO the Union Pacific for 81, 500, 600.

The country has recently had
some startling object lessons in the
danger OF carrying about ones per-
son large sums of money, of being
known to keep money concealed
somewhere about the home. The
lessons have consisted, in every case.
OF murder committed for the sole
purpose Of securing plunder. There
are always safe places of deposit
where thieves cannot break through
and steal, where valuables that may
tempt cupidity can be kept at a
trifling cost or at no cost at all. The
person who vulgarly faunts his val
uables in the eyes OF strangers or
who suffers it to be known that he
has treasures concealed about his
homo. invites the tragedy that is apt
to come sooner or later.

PREMIER RosEBERY's policy as out
lined in his speech at London lately
is expansive enough to cover all
sections of his somewhat heterogene-
GUS party. Whether it will prove
cohesive enough to hold them all
together remains to be seen. His
task is one of extreme difficulty and
requires extraordinary tact in its
successful performance. No part of
his address was more applauded than
his assurance that "the same
measures remain rs they are the
program Of the Liberal party, and it
is not intended to recede from any
one Of them" The nearer the new
premier can come to realizing the
ideas and aims OF his predecessor,
the better he will please the friends
OF free government everywhere.
