Odd Suit for Damages for the Death of n
Wife.

an odd suit for damage which. has been
pending between W. II. Peck and the
Marietta and North Georgia Railroad
company in the United States court. has
Just been decided in favor of the railroad
company. Peck was station agent on
the Marietta and North Georgia road and
also acted in the capacity of telegraph
operator The company removed the tele-
sraph instruments from the Office, wish
ing to abolish it, but left wires running
into the building.
One day when Mr. Peck and his wife
were seated in the Office a thunder storm
suddenly came up. There was n flash of
nsh'hing, roar of thunder. and Peck
Knew no more. When he came to his
senses he found his wife beside him on the

the company for $1,000. 1t was the op;n-
ion handed down that the company was

STRIKERS Continue to Enforce n Reign of
Terror, However.

Terror, However.
CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, May 30.-The
deputies and strikers are still keeping at
safe distance from each other Both sides
are exerting every effort to increase their
numbers. the strikers using. in some in
stances. loaded Winchesters as arguments.
The strikers become bolder and more in
soient every day. All the smaller towns
are completely subjected.
Vastly outnumbering the male popula-
ton, and being heavily armed, they have
conflscated nearly all the firearms owned
py individuals. Conscious alike of their
own strength and the weakness of the in
habitants they conduct themselves in an
overpearlng manner and exact conduct on
the part of the inhabitants that is but lit
tie short of the most abject servility.
A party entered Mound City and at the
muzZies OF Winchesters forced two union
men, who believe in the union but not in
carrying arms and using them III viola
tion oil law, together with non-union
man, to go to Bull Hill.

THE SITUATION AT NiNONk.
Looks Like she Trouble Is sOver-Depatics
Help the Miners.


MINoZK. Ills, May 30-The coal strike
at this place so far Us any active demon
tration is concerned is thought to be prac-
tically over. All the militia is now gone
and sheriff Tool has discharged nearly all
of his deputies. Your correspondent was
at Wenona and found everything there
quiet, though it was reported that men
were gathering at their usual meeting
place. a later repor0 says this was
erroneous. So far rs this part OF the
country is concerned it is thought that
the active work in, the strike is over.
though no surprise would be felt should
there be another outbreak.
y new wrinkle was sprung in the mining
situation here. At Il meeting Of the dep
atty sheriffs it was voted to give a part OF
their pay to the needy miners and their
families, II number OF them being in desti-
tute circumstances. 1t was also voted to
stand guard should occasion require. if the
men would go to work, and furnish them
ample protection. A committee WAS ap-
pointed to learn the decision of the miners.

been removed from the switch. caus-

ALTGELD'S REPLY.
What He Thinks of That Arbi.
tration Proposal.
WOULD HARDLY BE SUCCESSFUL.

Because in the Illinois Governors Opiu-
ion the Operators Would Not Agree
All Reported Quiet at the Late Seats of
War in the Prairie State-Indiana strik-
ers Submit to Civil Process and Let Coal
Trains Move.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, May 30.-Governor
Altgeld, who was at Chicago when the
Pittsburg Posts telegram reached here
proposing an arbitration board of gov
ernors of bituminous coal states to settle
the strike, has arrived at the executive
office. While at Chicago he replied to the
telegram as follows: Il will gladly do
anything can to assist in settling the
present strike, but inasmuch as the board
you suggest would have no power to COM
pei anybody to appear before it, and could
not compel submission on the par. of
those unscrupulous operators who precipi-
tated the strike by reducing wages to the
starvation point and who are rrofiting by
the present troubles, fear little could be
accomplished because honest operators
who are ready to make any fair arrange
ments could not compete with those who
refuse to respect the decision of any board.
Consequently even those operators who
are most anxious to settle the strike would
keep aloof."

Pratectinn,a Electric Current.

The Mckinley tariff is probably the most
learned and scientific composition OF protec-
t;onism ever known. 1t has attached to 1t the
machinery whereby the electric current OF
reciprocity can be turned on it at any moment
it may be thought best.--New York Sun.
That is just the matter with it. AS an
article of protection it did just what pro-
lection is intended to dot increased
the opportunities for labor by increasing
production. This increased production
decreased the cost Of manufactured
goods to consumers and at the same time
increased tho price of raw materials to
producers of such goods. "The electric
current Of RECIPROCITY" has enabled US to
negotiate those treaties which The Daily
Post of Birmingham, England, de-
nounces as ''those unsound and prepos-
ferrous treaties with South American pro-
tectionist states which have worked so
much mischief for British trade in those
parts"
It is BECAUSE the Mckinley tariff has
done all 0f these things that it is to be de-
stroyed. The threat to destroy it and
reverse the policy that since 1880 has so
developed our manufactures tlnt we
have advanced from the position OF the
third manufacturing country to the un-
disputed occupancy of the first place is
bringing universal want through the
sudden cessation Of production, showing
as once more how thoroughly dependent
prosperity is on commercial conhdensa,
and how utterly commercial confidence
has been dissipated by the threat Of tar
if legislation that is based on the inter
ests Of alien capital and the extension
and prosperity of alien commerce and
manufacturing.
