RIOTING MINERS.
a Serious Clash Of Arms at Bar
tonville, Ill.
One Striker Killed and Several Persons
Seriously Hurt-After Driving the
Miners Away the Mine Is
Set on Fire.

PEORIA, ILL.,, June 7.-One dead body,
several men on the verge of the grave,
number of others seriously injured,
$50, 1000 worth of property absolutely de-
stroyed, homes made desolute, life long
enmities formed, etc. tell the sad tale
of an attempt made by the miners OF
the Peoria district to close the mine
operated by Little Bros, IN Tazewen
county, a mile or more north of Wesley
City.
1t is the sequel of the meeting of
miners at Bartqnville the other day,
about which there was so much secrecy.
No one could get the faintest inkling of
what was done at the meeting. Now
every body knows. 1t was decided at
that time that the Little mine must
close. There could be no equivocation,
no clubbing, no half way measures. 1t
must close and remain closed.
In consequence of the conclusion ar
rived at at this meeting, about 400
miners started ont of Bartonville at
l o'clock yesterday afternoon. They
came from nearly all the mines in the
district. Without anything having
been previously said on the subject,
except in the utmost secrecy, every
man of them apparently, came armed;
they were desperate and were ready to
use desperate means to accomplish
desperate ends.
They went. All but one of them
have returned. He will return some
time tomorrow, in all probability, in
coffin. The result of the visit is best
told in the list of dead and wounded as
follows:
Edward Bowers, of Bartonville, shot
in right side; died instantly.
James Little, shot twice in the body;
thought to be fatally injured.
Peter Little, shot in left eye and in
right arm; not serions.
Peter Little, Jr., shot in left side.
VIM. Dixon, colored, shot in right
arm and through left shoulder; may
die.
Several miners were shot, but they
were taken away and no one could Sc"
cure information about them.

honor of the birthday of the empress
dowager the emperor promulgated
decree that all strikers should be pun

A St. Peter Man Is Relieved Of a GoOdly
Sum by Sharpers.
ST.. PETER, Mimi, June 7.-Yesterday
morning Michael McGrath was accosted
by man who asked him to come down
to the tent of a circus. He was taken
to tent and two blue and one red card
was presented to him. Then the sharp
ers offered him $4,000 if he could pick
out the red card. He selected the red
card and was promised the stipulated
sum if he could show that he was worth
81, 900. McGrath went at once to the
First National bank and drew ST, 625 of
his bank account. He returned to the
circus grounds to claim his $1,000. Two
men grabbed him and the third took
the money bag and departed.

New York. June 4.-R. G. Dun &
Co. Is weekly review of trade says:
1T is sign of cheering import that in fin

railway tonnage, there has been less decrease
since the strike began than might have been
expected. But in inchoate business the
orders which start the wheels TO result
in tonnage and payment weeks or months
later, there seems to be an actual de-
crease Meanwhile the consequent inter-
ruption of traffic and industry increases. The
stoppage of iron furnaces between the Allie
gheny mountains and the Mississippi river
has become complete and great number OF
concerns manufacturing iron, and others re-
curing soft coal or coke for fuel, have
been forced to stop. Business cannot
increase in volume under such circumstances,
and yet payments through all clearing houses
for the week show decrease of only 2O.s per
cent. compared with last year Though large
