a meat-hook in front of the butcher
shop below, and was terribly wounded
in the arm. Lena Appleton was seri-
ously burned about the body. The fire

Portland. April 21.-An unknown mar
entered County Treasurer Malarkey's
Office, at the court house, this afternoon
about 1880, and shot and seriously
wounded Charles Malarkey, a son of the
treasurer. and carried away about $500
in gold and currency. Shortly after
o'clock this afternoon Treasurer Malar-
key went out Of the Office. leaving his
son, who is a young man about 20 years
Of age, in charge. When he returned a
few minutes past he found the door
locked. He unlocked the door, and on
opening 1t beheld his son lying on the
floor. Blood was running from wound
in his right side. In response to in.
quiries his son feebly told him that a
short time after he left the Office an
unknown man entered and asked for
change for $50 He stepped to the vault
and opened the door, preparatory to
giving him the change. AS the door OF
the vault swung open the man drew a
revolver and told him to throw up his
hands. Young Malarkey started to run
and the man fired. Malarkey fell to the
floor. The man then took the contents
of the vault, locked the door through
which he had entered the room and
then jumped out of a rear window and
escaped unnoticed, When asked for
further details, young Malarkey was en-
Joined by his physicians from talking
further. When found by his father the
young man had already lain on the floor
for couple of hours. and was very
weak from loss of blood. The bullet

pistol was heard throughout the court
house, but it was not thought to be a
pistol shot, and no attention was paid
to It,
Treasurer Malarkey is unable to tell,
until he balances his accounts, exactly
what sum was obtained by the robber,
but it win not exceed $780, At the time
of the shooting the Industrial army was
holding a meeting on Plaza block, in
front of the court house, which attract
ed nearly everybody's attention. The
robber is believed to be some one fa-
miliar with affairs at the court house.

GOOD FEELING EXISTS.

Columbus, O., April 21.-A general
good feeling exists between the opera
tors and the miners in the coal fields OF
Ohio. At New Straitsville, where zoo
men are out, the men are in a good way
to stand a siege. The majority are own
ers of their own homes. 1t is the opin-
ion of the best miners at Stratitsville
that as soon as the coal stored is con-
sumed all the districts will pay the
scale and that work will be resumed.
Public sympathy is with the strikers.

GREATEST IN THE COUNTRY.
Coal Miners Strike viii Involve One
Hundred and Fifty Thousand Men.


Pittsburg, Pa, April 21.-The great
coal strike, so far as this district is
concerned, appears to be successful. Al
noon today 5000 men in the river dis,
trict and $500 in the railroad district
left the mines. Dispatches from the
Clearfield district report that $1,000 men
there have struck and the mines are
generally closed down. In the Phillips
burg region, east of the mountains, all
the mines are idle. The strike promises
to be the greatest in the history of the
country. 1t will involve nearly 10000
men, and will stop work in mines which
produced upwards of 10O,OOO,OO0 tons Of
coal last year These miners received
$5y, 500, ,627 in wages in 1890. Should the
Strike be effective, the effect on the
business of the country will be incalcul
able, as the strike will enforce the sus-
pension of many trades dependant on
the coal industry

DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
Mayor EIlert on the Evacuation of
the Old CITY Hall.

The proposed evacuation of the old City
Hall and the removal of the Colice courts
and Police Department prisoners to the
new City Hall does not meet with much
favor in Mayor Ellert's mind. In speaking
of the matter yesterday the Mayor said:
1T is judicious and proper in every way
to have the police courts aud police pris-
oners separate from the County Jail and
new City Hall. At the same time the
Board of Supervisors have the matter en-
tirely in their power. The New CITY Hall
Commissioners have absolutely nothing to
do with the case. They have no authority
to do what is suggested in the matter Of
evacuating the old City Hall as represented
by Supervisor Kennedy. But the Super
visors have The authority to do as they
please in the matter"
Mr.. Kennedy is in earnest about the
proposed removal because he sees great
saving of dollars in the scheme. And be
has several supporters of his views among
the members Of the board.
Chief Crowley IS now OF the opinion
that there is not room in the new Jail to
accommodate all the prisoners that may be
in custody from time 10 time. He has of
late changed his mind on he subject, as he
at one time expressed it as his opinion
that there was ample room in the new Jail.
