Miners Refuse 70 strike, aud His Efforts
TO make Them DO So Cause His Death.
BLUEFIELD, w. Va, April 22.-Pat-
rick O'Brien, who came here with other
agitators from Ohio and Pennsylvania
20 try aud induce the $4,000 miners Of
the Flat Top region of West Virginia 10
Join the great coal miners strike, was
killed to-day at Turkey Ridge.
O'Brlen had finished an address 10
the mine workers, composed mostly
OF negroes and foreigners, in which he
urged them 10 throw down their
picks and demand better treat
meut and pay from the mine owners.
A foreigner of the name OF Hansoni
Sprang upon a box and addressed his
countrymen. This man" he said,
would deprive your families OF bread,
when there is nothing TO be gained by
striking
Hansonrs remarks were interpreted
20 O'Brien in Thomas McBride's saloon.
O'Brien demonstrated with Hansoni for
opposing the strike, and Hansoni re-
torted with you are here for the pur-
pose Of doing my people harm"
The lie was passed and Hansoni,
backed by an excited mob OF his coun-
trymen, drew a long-baded knife aRd
plunged 10 into O'Brien's body repeat
edly killing him almost instantly. The
murderer then fled 70 the mountains.
The other strike aEitstors have dis
appeared since the O'Brien incident.
More trouble is feared, as the miners
are steadiast q their purpose not 10
strike.

NEoLA, Iowa, April 22.-Kelly and
his Industrial army ended their first
days march from Council Bluffs here at
6 o'clock this evening, and Immediately
went into camp, in grove just east of
the town. The entry into Nicola was
triumphal march. Almost every man,
woman and child of the l, 100 inhaoit-
ants went out to greet the army; fags
we're borne and cheers were lusty as the
1, 500 men tramped down the towns
main street to the more or less musical
strains Of two country bands. The
stores and vacant buildings Of this
place were thrown wide open and the
weary men were offered all available
shelter. The start from Camp Weston
was made at o'clock.
The day was a perfect one, and rapid
time was made along the smooth, we'll
beaten roads. From every farm house
flags were flying, and at every cross
road lines OF gaily decorated wagons
and carriages awaited the coming OF
the army.
Neola is with Kelly to a nan, and the
condemnation OF the action Of the rail-
roads in refusing transportation is as
violent here as at Council Bluffs and
Omaha.
As an ironical expression OF the feel
ing regarding the calling out OF the
Iowa militia. the citizens here formed a
company Of little boys and girls to greet
the advent OF the army, the badges and
banners OF the infantie brigade bearing
the inscription, Nicola Militia"
Tomorrow the commOnwealers will
move to Avoca, eighteen miles away,
and il promises made to-day are tul-
filed, $50 wagons will be provided for
trans usportation. General Kelly said to-
night that whether the men ride or walk
they will move steadily forward for Des
Moines. There the army expects te
secure a train for Chicago, and At Chi
cago the men believe they will be well
provided with transportation for the
east

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 22.-The
prospect is that the tariff debate in the
Senate will continue this week much
on the same lines as have been observed
since the agreement for the regulation
OF hours OF debate was entered into,
Notwithstanding the arrangement that
the reading of the bill by paragraphs
shall be begun on Wednesday at one
o'clock. The Republican Senator'S are
counting upon the continuance OF this
programme for at least another week,
and expect to go on with general
speeches just as they have been doing
for the past three weeks.
General debate" said Senator Aid
rich in discussing the outlook, "will
conclude Tuesday at o'clock, and will
be resumed Wednesday at l o'clock. "
Senator Aldrch will possibly speak on
Wednesday or Thursday. The speeches
announced for the week are those OF
NaS1OQrn on MOnuhy, hiilS auN - HSL
on Tuesday, Higgins on Wednesday and
Cullom on Thursday or Friday. II no
others should be prepared, Senators
Quay and Dolph will conclude their un-
finished speeches.
Nine Republican Senators will make
manifest their disposition 10
CONTEST EVERY INCH
Of ground at the very beginning Of the
discussion OF paragraphs, as such on
Wednesday by attempting to have the
provision OF the first paragraph provld-
ing that thsaew tariff shall 90 into
effect lhs 3Otn of June changed. They
will con md that the custom has always
been to give at least six months notice
in making a change OF the tariff laws.
Senator Harris upon being asked said
that no agreement had been reached for
the continuance of the present agree
ment as TO hours for debate, and he was
not prepared to say what would be done
In that respect when that stage Of the
consideration Of the bill should be
reached.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April 99.-Prssi-
lent Cleveland has forwarded the fol-
lowing letter to Hon. Chauncey f.
Black, President Of the National Asso-
citation Of Democratic Clubs;
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, ID. G., April 21, 1894. J
Hon. ChGlmccy Z. Bl0cl, Esq.
DEAR SIR have carefully read the
communication you lately placed In my
hands setting forth the future purposes
and present needs OF the National Asso-
citation of Democratic Clubs.
The achievements Of this organization
should be familiar 90 all who are inter-
ested in the continuation Of Democratic
supremacy and should enlist the en-
couragement Of those who appreciate
the Importance Of any effective dissent
nation of political doctrine.
Your Association has done much by
way of educating our people touching
the particular subjects which are rec
Ognizsd as belonging 20 the Democratic
faith, but it seems 70 me that its best
service has been an enforcement and
demonstration or the truth that our
party is best organized and most pow
erful, when 10 strives for principles in
stead of spoiS, and that il quickly re-
spends 70 the stimulus supplied By an
enlistment TO the peoples cause.
This ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF the impor-
tant services rendered 70 the advance
ment OF true Democracy suggests that
the National Association of Democratic
clubs and every other Democratic or
ganization should labor increasingly 70
save our partv, in this time Of It's power
and esponsibility, from the degradation
aud disgrace Of a failure 70 redeem the
pledges upon which our fellow country
men entrusted us with the control OF
their Government
All who are charged on behalf Of the
Democratic party with the redemption
OF these pledges should now be im-
pressively reminded that as we won our
way 20 victory under the banner OF tar
i'll reform, so our insistenCe upon that
principle is the condition Of our reten-
ton of the peoples trust; and that
fealty 70 party organization demands
tbe subordination of Individual advan-
tages and wishes and the putting aside
OF petty and igroble jea,ousies and
chickering's, when party principles and
party integrity and party existence are
az stake.
I cheerfully enclose contribution to
the funds necessary % carry on the
good work of your organization, with a
hearty wish for It's continued success
aud usefulness.
Yours very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.

ATHENS. April 2e.-The earthquake

with more or less frequency uatil noon

the earth was noticeable. and the peo-
pie OF this city were In state of semi
panic. Telegraphlc communication
with many parts OF the country Is badly
interrupted, and il is impossible 70 eet
news from some Of the towns that must
have been affected by the shocks
In three villages, MAlesino. Proskina
and Martino, all in the province OF
Locris, one hundrsd aud twsnty-nine
persons were killed. The Mayor OF
Larymni telegraphs that a heavy shock
occurred at ProskIna while vsspsr ser

thrown down in other parts OF tho
village and the money loss Is great
AT Mslesina, houses tottersd and fell
as though built Of card board. In this
little village sixty persons we're killed.
In some cases entire families, fathers.
mothers and children were taken out OF
the ruins dead.
At Martino, thirty-nins persons we're
killed. Here, as at Proskina, the par

Dalton gang were 81 no tine In the

follows:
The facts are that an L. S. officer
named Mackley, with q posss Of six
deputies fred iRto the house Of two
sympatbIzers Of the DaltOns named
Miller, thinking the DsltonS were in
the house. The Daltons were, how

eighty shots into the house ana re-
ceved in return four shots from the
WincheSterS Of the occupants, which
consisted Of the two Miller brothers,
the wife of one Of the brothers, q little
girl aud German hired man.
During the storm early Wednesday

ElulA AuQ AAlAQolaa
COLUMBUS, o., April president
John McBride'S revised estimate shows
that more men have struck in the COM
petitive districts and fewer in the out
lying districts than anticipated, but the
total mum Der OF men out remains about
the same as given yesterday-125,OO 600.
In Illinois be states there are $4,000
out of $4,000 miners idle; in Indiana
5000 out Of 5000, and In West Virginia
1000 out Of 5000. Conventions are to
20 be held 10 Illinois and West Virginia
on Tuesday next, when efforts will be
made 20 bring the men into line. Presi-
dent Mcbride expects definite informa-
tion by letter from nearly every district
tomorrow.
There seems to be no doubt but the
suspension in Ohio and Western Penn
sy.vania Is about complete. The organ
izers are most active in West Virginia
ana Illinois, National Secretary Nc
Bryde having gone TO the latter place
to address meetings. No reports have
been received Of any disturbances and
none are expected, as friendly feeling
seems 70 prevail.

COLUMBUS. o., April 22.-The work

will be largely determined by reports Of
committees yet TO be made. However,
a number Of important measures have
gone upon the calendar. The Finance
Committee OF the Senate will report
back the general appropriation bl.l Tor
1894 probably tomorrow. IL will un-
doubtedly be amended. The DOty State
bond bill will probably not get out OF
the hands Of the Senate Finance Com
mittee before next week. The House
calendar will probably get the Earn
hart oill 20 sell the Hooking canal for
railroad purposes, late 10 the week.
It is possible that the Grihn sleeping
car tax bill and the Hard taxation bills
passed by the House last week will be
considered by the Senate during the
Iatter part OF the week. The appropri-
ation bin for 1895 reported 20 the House
on Wednesday may be considered 10 the
House the latter part Of the week. The
calendar OF the Senate will tomorrow
hear among other important measures
the following: The Cannon sine die ad-
iournment resolution; the Abbott bill
placing a special tax upon beer; the
Rogers bill TO repeal the Rawlings tax
law: the Heinlein bin revising the State
banking laws, and providing for a State
