THE RIOT0US MINERS
A FiGndish Plot Seldom EQualsd in the
Annals Of Crime.
ONE HUNDRED WOULD HAVE DIED
Hungarian Miners Had Planned to
Place Giant Powder Under the
Houses of the Bosses.

WILKRsBARRE, Pa, May ia plot
for which fiendishness has never been
equaled in the annals of crime in this
section, was nipped in the bud today
through the confession of one of the Key
stone colliery rioters. He said the strik-
ers had secured nine kegs of giant
powder, almost enough to destroy half
the city, and secreted them near the
house of Foreman Heslops. This even
ing, had it not been for the arrest of the
ringleaders of yesterdays riot, it was the
intention of the strikers to put the
powder under the houses of all the bosses
of the mines.and set it off. The result
would have been something terrible,
taking into consideration the families of
the bosses, who number nearly 100 per-
sons. Despite this evidence against the
ringleaders of the riotous Hungarians,
the six men who were taken into custody
this morning were today admitted to
bail. The nine kegs of powder were
secured by the officers.

STARTING a FASHION.
How the Wearing OF White Gloves Was
Inflated in Gotham.

How the Wearing OF White Gloves Was
Initiated in Gotham.
The other day young man wanted
a pair of evening gloves late at night,
and had to go over to Sixth avenue to
get them, says the New York Press.
There was nothing of his size in stock
but a pair of white gloves, while pearl
alone are de rigueur. However,
he was dancing man and had to wear
gloves, so he bought the gloves, and in
due course of time led the cotillon
wearing them. The chappies were
astounded. Nobody could question
fact he was something of a leader of
fashion. After supper breathless
deputation waited upon him to know
whether or not white gloves had come
back again.
I'm wearing them myself, you see,
dear boy,'l he said iokingly. but with a
slightly superior smile. 81 haven't
really heard whether the prince has
found l. out yet or not.''
Now your true dude is not susceptible
to the influence of irony. Besides. the
deputation was fiustered at the innova-
tion. The result was that they mixed
those speeches up, and in half an hour
CNCIyOOuy III tLC HOOiA1 WAS
the prince of Wales had taken to wear
ing white gloves in the evening, and
that Tom Blank was the first man in
New York to hear of it. So white
gloves and not pearl are now the
proper thing to wear in New York city
on dress occasions, and when our man
of fashion strolled into the Metropoli-
tan opera house the other night and
looked around the circle he smiled

looked as if they were carrying snow

CLOSED ON THE DUCKS, BILL.
How an Oyster Resented lmpertinent

How an Oyster Resented lmpertinent
Curiosity In Chesapeake Bay.
The meek and lowly oyster can some
times become revengeful as well as
dangerous antagonist, as an unwary
duck found to his cost a day or so
ago over on the eastern shore, says the
Baltimore American. This careless
duck, belonging to the tribe known as
fishermen, was swimming about in
search of food off the shore near Clai-
borne, when he espied an oyster--a
nice, fat, juicy oyster he, was-with
she'll widely parted, feeding, doubtless,
on the simple and rather intangible
diet upon which an oyster is supposed
to feed. The duck, true to his greedy
instincts, -dived for that supposed juicy
morscl and was about to swallow him
whole, without salt or pepper even,
when the angry passions of the oys-
ter arose. and. swapping his shells to-
gether, caught the unSuSpecting ducks
bill in vise-like embrace. The duck
rose to the surface, shook his head,
mumbled apologies through his tight
shut mouth, but the bivalve's heart
was hardened, and he held on. Soon
the constant load pulling down his
head, and growing weightier and
weightier, began to tire the duck and
his neck arched lower and lower until
finally it sank into the water and he
was drowned. a declxhand on the
steamboat Tangier saw the duck float.
ing with his head submerged an,
picked him up. The oyster was still
clinging to his victim with relentless
deadly grasp, and the tragedy that
must have been enacted as described
was revealed.

R., Hood River Dept of Oregon, is cred
IDLY informed that notice has been

employed to address the citizens of Hood
River and vicinity on political issues, on
the 30th inst, thus present the claims
of their party for the suffrage of the
people, and
WHEREAS, We are informed that
opposing political factions will reply and
seek to refute the claims made by the
first party, and
WHEREAS, The 30th day of May is
Memorial or Decoration Day and is set

since have crossed the mystic river and
joined the silent throng, and whose

and hamlet churchyard in the land, and
WHEREAS, The ladies of the Woman's
Relief Corps, auxiliary to our post, ever
mindful of the responsible position they
hold, have already begun the sad, loving
duty of ''fashioning the garlands of
beauty for the graves of those for whom
memorial day was inaugurated, and

seminate their principles among those
who have laid aside labor to assist in
commemorating their fidelity to the
cause for which SO many gave their lives,
and that we most earnestly request that
the parties thus advertised to speak
upon that day, be asked to cancel that
date and arrange to speak at some future
period. Be it further

THE COURTS IGNORED.
Rowing Bands of Coxeyites Continue to
Steal Railroad Trains.

Rowing Bands of Coxeyites Continue to
Steal Railroa Trains.
ST.. PAUL, May 19.-Two hundred Cox
eyites from Washington captured a
Northern Pacific train at Heron, near
the Idaho-W Washington line, this morn
ing, and were not intercepted until Ar
lee, a station 145 miles east, was reached.
So soon as word was received at the
company's headquarters, General Mana
ger Kendrick called upon the war de-
partment for assistance in regaining
possession of the stolen train, and or
ders were issued at once to the troops
stationed at Fort Missoula. At the
same time, Mr.. Kendrick issued orders
to the superlntendents on all divisions
affected to offer every obstruction possi-
BILE to the passage of the train consistent
with safety. The Heron mob was in
charge of a man named Blair, and the
train consists of twelve cars. It was in
charge of Engineer Ross. They pro-
ceeded eastward from Heron at some
thing like forty miles an hour. Rails
were torn up at several places, and a
slide of rock blockaded the train at Par
adise, but all obstacles were overcome,
and the men ran the train as far as Ar
lee, where it was taken into custody by
United States Deputy Marshal Heally.
The men will be held at Arlee tonight,
and in the morning be taken to Helena
for trial in the United States court. No
one was hurt and no shots were fired.
