HANGED HIMSELF.
SUICIDE OF JOSEPH DIERIEGER, YESTERDAY
MORNING,
at th. Hcms Of Bis Brother, Near EdgirgtOns
L2ns-Msnial Alteration the Gauss
Of the Act

Yesterday morning, shortly before
six o'clock, Joseph Dieringer committed
suicide at the home of his brother, John
Dieringer, near Edgington Lane, by
hanging himself.
The deceased, with his family, con-
sisting of his wife and seven children,
had been living at his brothers for three
or four weeks, but was formerly res
ident OF this city, living In the Fifth
ward. He was an expressman some
time ago, and since then had lived for
a time In Marshall county. His age was
about forty-five years.
While al his brothers, where be
had been living until new house
was completed, it was his Gus
tom to arise early, often before others
of the family, and go to the stable to
look after the horses. He went out to
the stable Yesterday morning, probably
about quarter past or half-past five,
and not returning by six o'clock, his
wife went to the stable in search Of
him, going through the building and

She supposed he had gone TO the hay
NOW to sleep. as he sometimes did,
and when she returned to the house his
brother went out to call him. There
was no response, and John went into
the stable and ascending into the loft
found his brother hanging by the neck
from rafter and quite dead. although
the body was still warm. DIR. Alexan-
was called, but nothing could be done.
In March the deceased contracted
grippe, and this seemed to have affected
his mind to a serious extent, making
him melancholy and causing great men,
tai depression. His relatives and fam
lily, fearful of an attempt upon his life.
watched him with the greatest care,
but it is probable no amount OF vigil
ance could have prevented the final con-
summation Of the act.
Coroner Schultze was summoned, and
after an enquiry rendered verdict in
accordance with the facts.

FINALLY SETTLED.
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY TIE LEGISLATIVE
COMMITTEE
OF the Trades Assembly, Yesterday, Relative TO
the China Company Maasr-Ths Sub
jsct Closed Up for Good.

Yesterday the members OF the Legis-
lative Committee Of the Trades Assem-
bly, and several of the officers OF that
body met, in accordance with the an
nouncement in yesterdays REGISTER, to
finally close up the matters connected
with the North Wheeling China Com
pany incident.
The following resolution was unani-
mously passed BY the Committee
"WHEREAs, All the matters in con-
troversy between the Ohio Valley China
Company and the Ohio Valley Trades
and Labor Assembly, in relation to the
alleged importation OF foreign laoor
under contract, have been adjusted 10
the satisfaction of each OF the parties
concerned; therefore, be 1T
"ResolUcd, That the Ohio FalleV
Trades and Labor Assembly join in the
expressed wish of our citizens generally
that the China Company may continue
in operation, give employment to Amer
lean citizens in preference TO foreigners,
and that its losses in the past many be
more than counter balanced by its pro-
its In the future"
This settles the matter for good, and
in a most satisfactory manner. The
China Company, which has been oper-
ated so far under very unfavora6le con-
ditions and though many discourage
ments to those interested, is and has
been making a line of ware finer than
any turned out by any pottery in this
country, and is now just getting into a
position where the stockholders and
management can see daylight ahead.
That the works may 90 on to a career OF
prosperity, is the hope OF every. one hav-
ing the interests Of this community at
heart, and none are more directly inter
ested In this ultimate result than the
wage-workers Of Wheeling, represented
in the Trades Assembly.
The stockholders Of the China Com
pany meet to-day, and action by them
in line with the resolutions adopted yes
terday is confidently looked for.

MINERS MASS MEETING
Held at Trades Assembly Hall Yesterday
Afternoon.


The striking miners OF this vicinity
held an important mass meeting yester-
day afternoon at 1870 o'clock, at Trades
Assembly Hall. Representatives were
present from Moundsville, Glendale, the
Benwood, Riverside, La Belle, Whit
taker and Elm Grove miners.
The situation was considered in its
various phases, and generally discussed.
Some difference Of opinion was mani
tested regarding the question OF per-
hitting home mines to be operated for
the purpose Of filing contracts. A
motion was finally passed, ordering all
miners TO cease loading and mining
coal. This will not prevent them from
doing repair work about the mines, If
paid the old wages. The miners ad-
journed to meet Thursday afternoon at
the same place.
The miners are we'll satisfied with the
local situation. II was stated yesterday
that but eleven men went into the Elm
Grove mine yesterday morning, and five
OF that number went after their tools.
About sixty-fve men have been working
at the mines. As the situation now
stands, it will require the payment Of
the wages demanded in sufficient num-
Der OF mines to make up the larger pro-
portion of the gross tonnage sold in this
market before miner will be permitted
to return to work in any mine, notwith-
standing one or two or more operators
may be willing to pay the wages de-
manded.
i local operator last night COM
planned 20 a REGISTER reporter about
the alleged injustice OF the rule by
which miners are prevented from work
ing to make operators to fulfill their
contracts He mentioned one case in
which a large industrial plant threat
ems TO put in natural gas, in the event
that the operator who has hitherto sup
piled coal, will be unable to do so in the
future.
There are many stations on the r. &
o. between this city and Pittsburg,
where coal miners constitute the larger
part of the population. By reason Of
the strike and the inclination Of the
idle men TO stay about the stations the
agents Of the depots have official notifi-
cation to keep the men from congregat-
ing on the railroad property lest trouble
result.
Wm. T. Chamber, Superintendent Of
the Elm Grove coal company, states
that the assertions made by miner in
Trades Assembly last Sunday, that the
board OF management were at the mouth
of the mine TO keep the miners at work,
are not true. Mr.. Chambers stated yes
terday that there were twenty-five men
at work. The management talks OF
taking legal steps against those who
came from the miuers and attempted to
get their men TO quit work, and for a
general interference.

SENT FOR the POLICE.
A Little Ripple of Excitement Yesterday
Morning at a Pottery.


Morning at Pottery.
1t was rumored yesterday morning
that there was some sort OF disturbance
at the La Belle pottery. The news
spread aud it created considerable ex-
element. Some one at the pottery sent
10 the City Hall for police and several
were sent down, but 1t was found that
there was no cause for their going. The
rumor was started in this manner: 1t
is known that about half dozen men
were at work at the pottery against the
advices OF the strikers. \ committee Of
the strikers went to the plant early iu
the morning, about o'clock, TO peaceably
see the men as they went 10 work, and
get them, If possible, by persuasion, TO
stop work. There were q number OF
the potters about when those who were
at work arrived. They met them out
side the pottery limits, and persuaded
them not to 90 to work. About this
time the message was sent from the pot
terry to send police, and this occasiOned
the excitement. When the officials ar
rived, the potters had succeeded in get
ting the men out, and had peaceably
gone away. Six Of the men quit work,
and il is said now that there is but one
workman there who is lsboring against
the wishes or the strikers

R1OTlNG IN A NEW PLACE.
Striking Miners Turn Their Attentfsu
tn the Hayes station Works.

Hostilities have broken out in a new plao
in western Pennsylvania. The rioters arr
now directing their attention TO the Cherry
mines at Hayes station on the main line ot
the Panhandle railroad. At this place
which is about four miles from Mansfield
are situated the mines and tipple Of Morrt

Some evil intending rioters fired upon Tin
McMahoney. boss of the Cherry mine sta,
BILE last evening, shortly after dark IA
was standing by the barn at the time. The
bullets ratified harmlessly against the tim.
Der by his side. A report comes from Nc
Donald that the rioters threatened TO buru
the Robbins and Rends stores at that plac,
last night.
Many of the people of Mansfield last might
expressed the opinion that the rioting wa
over. The determined stand made by Bead
ling Brothers Saturday afternoon, wbel
they fired on and dispersed the mob thai
attacked thei- store. killing one and wound
ing others, cooled down considerably the
anarchical tendencies of those riotously in.

Many wild stories Of rioting were put IN
circulation. but when they were run dowl
turned out to be mythical. The sheriff q

NEW YORK BANKERS OBJECT.
No Promises of Subscriptions to Tho
Bond Issue.

At yesterdays conference between SEC.
rotary Carlisle and the bankers at New
York President Frederick D. Tappeu of
the Gallatin National Bank asked: M.
Secretary. it Is the opinion of a majority of
the New York bankers that your proposed
issue Of bonds will not, be success. What
will you do IL it is not? How much do the
subscriptions now amount to-"
The Secretary replied: Il certainly do not
concede that the issue will not be a success.
l do not look forward to any such contin-
gencV. AS to the amount OF the subscrip-
tions. I have not changed my mind with the
figures. II the subscriptions run up to S15.-
100000 I intend to sell that many bonds.
NO promises Of subscriptions were made
by the bankers. The Secretary took lunch
con at the Lawyers Club with ex-Secretary
OF the Treasury Charles S. Fairchld and
Assistant United States Treasurer Conrad
N. Jordan. and left for Washington at $40
o'clock.
The objection of the bankers to subscrib-
ing for the bonds is that they carry no COM
mission. as in former issues and are sold at
too high premium for short term bonds.
Before his departure Secretary Carlisle
took precautions to avoid giving his i'm
pressions OF the conference Neither would
any of the others present enter into details
or what took place, unless with the proyiso
that they were not to be quoted.
One of the bank presidents, who was seen
at his office in the afternoon said that the
conference had taken the shape of an in
formal talk, and that Secretary Carlisle had
spoken very freely on several points auent
the S5o.O0o,oO0 government bonds He owett
specially upon the legality of the issue
insisting that there was not the slightest
doubt on that point, and that the courts
would SO hold. AS to the resolution intro
duced In Congress with a view to having
the issue declared illegal he expressed the
opinion that ii would fail of passage
THE Secretary was assured by many of
those present" continued this gentleman.
that IL the legality of the issue was shown
doubt that the entire amount would be
subscribed for Internationally, and at the
upset price right here in New York. Mr..
Carlisle referred in a somewhat guarded
way to knowledge he possessed as to the
disposition manifested by certain banks
here to discredit the value of the bonds in
the interest of syndicate, b1t that matter
went no further. Nothing was said as to
the extent to which the bonds had been
SPOKEN for in this city. The conference
was Of the pleasantest possible character
As to definite results, the future may de-
velop them
The only definite information obtainable
as to the matter Of subscriptions to the
issue in New York city was that the offer
OF $4,OOO,O0O by the American Exchange
Bank would stand.
