AN ARMoRY NEEDED.
The Views of General Choate and Colonel
Kendall on the Subject.


Gen. Winfield H. Choate of Augusta,
and Col. Kendall of the First Regiment
called upon Mayor Baxter yesterday
morning. Both of these gentlemen think
that Portland is large enough and rich
enough to build a good armory for its
militia companies. At present the city
is paying large rentals for drill halls
occupied by the four companies situated
here, when if the companies were proper
Iy provided for the expense of main
tenance would not be half as large. "You
might build an armory ON the piece of
land the city recently bought on South
street." said Gen. Choate. at is my
opinion that Portland could erect an
armory on this spot at very little expense
and in the end it will be far cheaper than
it is for you to pay rent for the old attics
now used by the Portland companies.
Those occupied by companies A and B
are so poor that they do not afford suit
able protection for the state proper ty,
and yet as l understand it Portland is
paying immense sums for these places"
My idea of an armory," said Col.
Kendall, +" is one where all four COM
panies may be accommodated at once.
Portland now has a battalion and will
soon have major here to command it.
1t would be the proper thing for the city
to build handsome armory and house
all four companies at once. On the first
Fl DOR Won would want four cOmDany
rooms, large mess hall, majors room,
water closets, etc. On the second floor
you could have your drill hall large
enough to vancouver the whole battalion
at once. When you get your armory you
will find the personnel of your companies
improving and the general results more
satisfactory"

in drawing plans for future remodel
ing of the Union Mutual building. The
easterly end is to be made uniform with

of the most elegant in the city. Inter

FIRED ON MILITIA,

Ohio Troops Attacked From Ambush at
Wheeling Creek.
WHEELING, W. Va, June 1O-The
Ohio militia in camp at Wheeling
Greek, three miles west of the river,
were fired upon by some persons in the
hills at frequent intervals from mid
night till morning, and in few cases
the sentinels returned the fire, but so
far as known no bloodshed resulted.
Strikers burned IA feet of wooden
bridge at Goshen, west of Wheeling
Creek, no coal could therefore be moved
until the bridge was repaired. About
p. m. three double-header trains were
sent west, composed in all OF AZ cars.
There was no effort to stop them.
At the camp of the West Virginia
militia the day was a comparatively
quiet one. The morning passed quietly
until IL o'clock, when a message from
Moundsville told of a blockade ly a
number of miners al owe the town.
Three companies of the First regiment
left Immediately. The obstructionists
disappeared on the arrival of the troops,
but one, Charles Davis, waslarrested.

BOSTON, June 10. "A startling rerela-
ton has just come to light which in

Last Thursday afternoon Miss Laura

Prior to leaving her home the bride
1aceived letter from Benjamin F.
Cox. 80 years old, in which he said:
IL cannot bear to live through your

The bride did not pay much attention
to the letter and the wedding ceremony
took place. Later in the day the
friends of Cox found him dead ut his
home. He had committed suicide. It
has just transpired that Cox was
thoroughly in love with Miss Wheel
wright, Tut his feelings were not re-
clprocated. The friends of the de-

committed suicide, for they gave it out
that his death Was from asphy 4iatlon.

WORK O Z E EN- DIS.
Four American Workmen, on Whose
Account q Battle Was Fought
Sunday, Rescued,
After Having Been i'll the Hands OF
Various Bands Of Strikers
Since Saturday.
Their Treatment Said to Have Been
About as Diabolical as Could
Be Conceived.

UNIoNTOWN, Pa, June 12.-The four
American Workmen who were taken
prisoners by a band of foreigners on
Saturday, and on account of whom the
fatal encounter of Sunday took place,
were overtaken at Fairchance and res
cued at noon by the deputies. The
deputies met with no opposition, owing
to their number, the men gave the
workmen up for fear OF resistance
They We're brought here and returned
to their honses at Leisenrins No. s.
When found they were still earring
the "ilackleg" placards and We're
chalk-marked from head to foo.. Just
what torture they were subjected to
after the battle Sunday is not yet
known here. but they were worn and
haggard looking lot when rescued.
They were taken away from Lamont
while the trouble was III progress anil
marched to Cool Springs, where they
were turned over to the strikers from
the Stewart Iron Works, and there kept
and paraded until the leaders learned
that the officers had located them.
Then they were taken to the south
ern end and handed over
From One Crowd to Another
until landed in the strikers camp at
Kyle. The deputies discovered their
whereabouts by little parading, and
having search warrants they found the
imprisoned workmen. The kidnapping
is denoenced on all sides, even by the
friends of the strikers. DIS the most afro
cious and fiendish act in the history of
the movement, and the fact that the
prisoners We're Ameri. ans is turning
public sentiment more strongly against
the perpetrators.
The deputies are now collecting all
the evidence available in the case, and
many arrests will be made us soon as
the men can be identified.
Handled by Hundreds.
It is estimated that not less than 500
strikers handled the workmen from the
time they were captured at New Haven
until they were rescued. The work.
men will be able to identify their cap
tors and will not fear to appear against
them. A delegation OF strikers visited
the banks on George creek, where part
of the coal Icing shipped over the new
State Line road is mined, and burned
up and broke the tools and wheel bar
rows into hindling wood. Not being
satisfied with this, they tore out the
support at the entrance to the banks
and caved in about 20 feet of the en-
trance.
A jury has bsen empane!led ly Cor
oner Battan to hold an inquest over the
body of John Mokaff the Slav killed in
Sundays battle and searching inves-
tigation will be made.
Or those injured Resporche,k and
