A Battle With Miners.

SCoTTsDALE, Pa, May 24.-Two
thousand armed strikers attacked the
Washington Run coal mines in Sickle
Hollow at 4 o'clock this morning. The
deputy sheritfs opened fire, killing and
wounding a number of the strikers,
vino retired.
FAYETTE CITY, Pa, May 24.-The
strikers, headed by the Smithton brass
band, marched along the public road
fronting the works. AS soon as the
men turned into the road fronting the
works, the deputies fired three times
into the air and then discharged their
Winchesters into the body of strikers,
three of whom fell dead and six
wounded. The strikers fired but 3 few
shots and then broke and ran. The
deputies, who numbered so, continued
firing as long as the fleeing strikers
were in range. The killed were all
foreigners, principally Huns. Eight
strikers are believed to have been kill
e1and sixteen wounded. Three of the
deputies were wounded.
The strikers had made two ineffec-
tual attempts this week to bring out the
men working, but were not successful.
Labor leaders are paralyzed at the
turn affairs have taken. They refuse
to talk about it. 1t is thought no more
attempts will be made to bring out
those workmen unless a small army is
raised. The miners went to work as
usual this morning and the works con-
tinue running. Deputies are patrolling
the place and no one is allowed in the
vicinity of the works. 1t is reported
that the sheriff will at once make
Wholesale arrests of leaders of the men
for melting them to riot and unlawful
assemblage.

Just now and for a week or more

scourge, Rev. 81. Yesterday the
NIethodists, Rev. Mr.. Stricken, pastor
held a most interesting song service, the
Sth anniversary for children's day
The choral service under the efficient
leadership of DR.. Speiden was truly de
lightful, together with scriptural read
ings by the pastor, superintendent o
the Sunday School and the responses o
the children, and address of Mr.. Wa
tiers, who told OF the work of his broth

Mrs. Keizer and others of the Mt. Yer

statement of Mrs. Howard and her sis

the late Colonel Augustine Washing
ton, that the true Nellie Custis's room
faces the tomb of Washington and the
Potomac river, and that the one acre OF
the Mt. Vernon estate reserved by the
will of Col. Washington has on it the
grave of the nurse of his children, ia
miliarly known once in Virginia as ''oid
mamma" While these ladies were thus
talking to Mr.. Young about the home
of their children stranger said, swell,
the Washingtons own nothing here
now" The old colored man and guide
spoke up, "You are mistaken sir | and
you, too, stand on the acre ofland which
my master, Colonel Washington, never
sold to de ISOLATION" Among the
relics shown was tile found in the Gel
lar of the mansion on which was writ
ten "rogue, thief and liar;n pretty plain

of her Revolutionary sires and matrons

Commonwealth banner unsuliied-
the badge of the brave and the menace
to all usurpers.

WHITE Posi-, May 22.-The severest
hail storm ever known here passed
over this locality on Friday last.
AS far as | can learn the cloud started
some few miles west of White Post and
passed to the east as far as the Shenan-
doah river chow much farther is not
known), laying waste hundreds of acres
of the finest wheat-much of it cut
down as by mower-besidcs doing
great damage to gardens, fruit trees,
sc. Have heard in one case of mum
bers of hogs being killed. The hail
was accompanied and succeeded by one
of the heaviest falls of rains we have
had in years, that also has done great
damage in washing corn land. Crops
of every description have suffered
greatly. The hail was of very large
size and much Of it remained in places
until next day. The loss of wheat will
run up to many thousands of bushels;
the hay crop was badly injured and in
many cases corn will have to be re-
planted. Window glass were broken
out by the hundreds.

WASHINGTON, May "a. 1894.
The democratic managers are beCom-
ing impatient at the amount of time
being consumed by the republicans in
the discussion of the metal schedule
and are beginning to talk among them
selves of the ACCESSIBILITY of prolonging
the hours of debate. 1t is not likely
that any change will be made this week,
but Mr. Harris is daily protesting to the
republican managers that they are kill
ing time, and has warned them that it
must be stopped. 1t is likely, if his
present idea is carried out, that he will
insist, beginning with next week, that
the Senate remain III session at least I'M

THE graves of the Confederate sol
diers in the cemeteries of this city were
decorated this evening with appropri-
ate ceremonies. The custom is a long
established one, and will doubtless con-
tinue. But such ceremonies cost money,
which the dead men do not want, but
which many of their worthy widows
and children do, and which, if given to
the latter, would be placed where it
would do the most good.
