ABpIsoS Pa, April S0ih, 1894.
EDIroR HERsLp.-
The inhabitants Of our village were some
what surprised and frightened last Thursday
evening about eleven O'Clock, to hear lively
strains of martial music interspersed by
cheers for Coxey and ' The COmmonweal of
Christ" People al once took it for com
mune of the .Commonwes. Army returning
by way of the National Pike before the final
entering Of Washington by Coxey's hosts
As near as people could see, BY casual
glsnces through shrouded windows and
cracks ofdoOrs, the crowd consisted of about
twelve or fifteen soldiers headed by piper
Who was assisted by full toned bag-pipe.
Next followed the Chief Marshal who was
noticed to be tall fellow who was very EN-
phaiic in his chsering of Coxey and GER
tain unknown Good Roads Association
He vas followed by a crowd Of men who
neither spared their lungs or the pleasant
dreams of sleeping town; but with wild
gesiiculations and loud proclamations told
the story Of their eagernsss 10 secure good

an occasional call for the commissary
wagon was also heard. It was strange 10
notice how the lights h'ckered and went out
as the Army advanced and also strange how
suddenly quiet the army itself became as it
passed certain house where il is common ly
known artillery is kept ready for action.
After trsyersing Main street from the east to
The west end the army dispersed as myste-
riously as ii had formed leaving everything
in quietness and the residents TO restless
doubt and uncertainty as to the true nature
of the demonstration. The army must have
moved on in the night as the earliest risers
say no one left after daylight
\ farmer named Simon Miller" living &
short distance west on the pike reported the
next morning that some Of his best hams
were missing and il is not all improbable
that the army's c)mmissary was reinforced
by foraging there. There were no other
depredstions committed here The people
of this vicinity are now very anxious to find
out who and what it was, but as yet there is
no clew.

Here is Hicks on May weather: Tie
month opens al the end Of April's closing
storm period, with storm Disturbances dis
appearing in extreme eastern parts Of the
country. and cooler weather prevailing in
central and western sections An equinox
of Mercury is ceztral on the Sd, and will
csuse cloudiness and tendency to con-
tinued drizzle. In the extreme North
sleet need not prove a surprise. By the
4th decided change to warmer will develop
in the West, and during the 5th to 7th
reactiOnary storms will pass over the eoun-
try, being central about the time of new
moon on the 5th. A sharp change to cooler
will follow the disturbances at this time,
with strong probabilities Of frost along the
northern side ofthe country from about 7lh
to 10Th.
From 10th to lith is the next regular
period OF change and storm very
warm wave is apt to appear by the 1lth
in western regions, and during the three
days next following storms of much energy
and wide scope will traverse the country
from vest 10 east. Another very cool wave
for the season viii come in behind the
storms, causing several days OF much cooler
weather in the country generally. Heavy
rains may reasonably be expected during
the last-hame3 disturbances. namely, about
the lIth, I2th aud 18th, during which time
a series Of daily storms, recurring near the
same time OF day or night, for several days
need not be unlocked for. Watch bar
cmeters, temperature and direction Of wind
if barometer fails TO rise afer one storm
passes, with wind still in east and south,
expect another storm from the west. and so
on until conditions change
The cool weather following the storms
ofthe last period will give place to warmer,
and secondary storms will appear in many
places about the 18th and lSlh, immedi-
ately after which the barometer will rise
rapidly to a very high reading, attended by
a sharp change to cooler.
From 2lst to 18th falls the next storm
period, during which time il will grow very
warm, and many storms of rain, thunder
and wind will appear. In all these disturb
Anees the intelligent use of the barometer
and correct observation of wind currents
will foreshsdoS with much certainty the
coming and the intensity OF storms. About
the 9th and 2sth will be central the last
disturbances for May, bringing fair and
cooler days and nights for the closing
month.
In the nature fittings, May must bring
more or less violence, in a meteorological
way, but there is marked absence Of dis
turbing causes, 50 far as other planets ere
concerned. There are reasons to believe
that storms will not be unusually frequent
and heavy but it will be the part Of pru-
dence to watch them all, aud be prepared
to take refuge from all that may carry in
their cloudy folds the desolstors OF towns
and hearts aud homes.

Last Tuesday afternoon Charles Braseck-
er, who resides on coal hill'' just east OF
town, was kicked on the head By a horse
and for several days his life was despaired
of His condition was very much improved
to-day and the prospects are that be viii en-
tirely recover.
Brasecker and George Gershsw had been
doing some work with team in the fields
and we're engaged at putting the horses away
in the stable at noon when the former got
behind the heels of one of the animals, and,
before be had lime to say Jack Robinson,
Was sent sprswling on the stable floor. Ger
shaw hurried TO his assistance and after
dragging him out of the stable helped him
Brasecker was seized with a spasm. The
spasms REQUIRED twice during the next few
hours. Dr. Kimmeli was called in to attend
the sufferer he found that Brasecker had
suffered fracture of the skull between the
right ear and templs The patient was IN
conscious for q period Of about IS hours.
An attempt was made to ineite strike
among the miners at Lis;ie last week. We'd
resdsy morning q written notice was posted
at the mouth Of the mine, where it would
attract the attention of the woTkmen when
they went to work the following morning,
calling upon them to stand together for
forty-fiSe cents per ton, an advance of fifteen
cents per ton over present wages The post
er was soon brought to the attention of Su-
perintendent George J. Krebs, who immedi-
ately tore il down and set TO work to ciseoy-
er who was the author of it. He was not
long in finding out and as q result Of his
discovery four workmen were paid of and
ordered from the premises ofthe Listie Com
pzny. The mischief workers. it has been
learned, had attempted to intimidate their
flloE workmen by telling them that unless
theS struck for higher wages a delegation OF
miners from the E < Lick region would vis-
il them and drive them from the mines. As
soon as the Listie miners Learned that these
stories were made out OF the whole cloth
they cheerfully continued at work. The
Listie people have all the orders for coal
they can handle and are anxious 10 increase
their force of lsborers in case they can Sc
cure the men. Friday, General Manager
Patton and Superintendent Cutter, Of the
Pittsburg division B. & o. R. r, cahe to
this place on special train and bad an in
tervies with Mr.. Krebs. We understand
that ss result Of this interview the B. & o.
viii depend upon Listie to furnish them
with number Of car loads Of coal per day
until the strike has been declared of in the
Pittsburg district.
