An Illinois Sheriff Unable to Con
With n Mob.

With u Mob.
There was a bloody battle at Little's coal
mine, five miles down the Illinois river
from Pel<in, ILL.,, yesterday. Word was re-
ceived at Pekin in the morning that 500
miners from the west side of the river were
about to attack the mine. Sheriff Freder-
icks swore in a posse and set out for the
scene. The strikers assembled at Benton
Vile and crossed the Illinois by ferries
There were about 400 men and some women
The sheriff and posse demonstrated with
the mob in vain. The leader of the strikers
with a revolver in each hand, cried out
Follow me-" and the crowd charged on the
mine.
The two Titles and their two sons and a
colored man retreated to the tower above
the shaft and opened fire. Some Of the mob
were seen to fall The fire was returned
and hundreds of shots were fired into and
through the tower. The Titles hoisted a
white flag, but the firing did not cease
The tower was set on fire, and UP shot the
flames 1t was feared the powder would be
reached, and the crowds retreated. The
air shaft was kept closed.
The killed are: John Jackson, colored a.
miner at Little's; Ed. Billion, one of the
strikers.
Wounded: Ed. Porter and Peter Little of
the besieged. the former shot in the breast
probably fatally, the latter in the arm. Half

Among them are Gus NORTH Fred Moritz

Letter Carriers Paw.

Representative Dunphy of New York has
reported to the House from the committee
on post offices his bill to increase the pay
of letter carriers and the bill introduced by
Representative Mcguire of California TO
regulate the mode of removal of letter car
riers.

the carrier service has been self-sustaining,
and for the next year the profits will prob
ably be 81 100000 more than the cost of the
proposed increase, which aggregates 81,

EXCITEMENT IN COLORADO.
A Battle Narrowly Averted Mt Cripple
Creek.

battle was expected at Cripple Creek
Colo. yesterday between the fortified union
miners on Bull Hill and force of deputy
sheriffs. who had advanced to Beaver Creek
within five miles of Bull Hill, with the
declared Intention of arresting 200 strikers
The outlook was decidedly warlike until 3
O'Clock In the afternoon. Although the dep
uties cut all the telegraph wires between
Cripple Creek and Midland the miners were
quickly informed by their scouts of the adj
vance of the sherlff's force, and prepared
Tor battle. They were willing 10 submit to
the militia. but declared they would never
be arrested until the troops arrived
Mayor Lindsay and President Parker of
the FIRST National Bank of Cripple Creek
called up Sheriff Bowers by telephone and
begged him to stop his deputies until the
troops could reach camp. Sheriff Bowers
agreed to this.
announced that they would lay down their
arms Immediately on the arrival of the
state troops.
Gov. Waite says that the movement Of
the deputy sheriffs against Bull Hill to ar
rest strikers is violation of the armistice
While nothing was said on this point in the
agreement made by him in behalf of the
miners with the mine owners. it was tacitly
understood that no attempt should be
made to serve any warrants until after the
militia had reached Cripple Creek and the
mines had been reopened.
One of the grievances of the striking coal
miners in Colorado has been the issuance Of
scrip in payment for their work, which they
have been forced to accept as money, and
use at the company's stores.
Gov. Waite claims that this is a violation
of United States law, and will ask the fed
eral authorities to make thorough investi-
CATION. The attempt to induce the miners
in the northern part Of the state to strike
in sympathy with those in the southern
part has failed.

Treasury Folks Are Wary.

The Secretary of the Treasury has re-
ceived from Chicago parties an offer of
100000 in gold provided it is accepted as
received by the holders and lawful money
is deposited therefor in New York. The Of
fer declined. This offer reminds old
treasury officials of another of a similar
character once made by western parties
and accepted. No sooner was the gold ac-
cepted and the treasury notes and green
backs deposited in New York to the credit
OF the parties than they turned them over
to the subtreasury in New York and de-
manded gold. The scheme was to save the
express charges on the gold from the west
to New York. AS soon as this fact was de-
veloped, however. the scheme was frus-
trated. BY the terms of today's offer the
government would have to run the risk of
receiving Short-weight gold.

The situation in McKeesport. Pa. grows
more serious hour by hour. says a Pitts

also threatened TO burn down their country
residences near McKeesport All this has
added to the terrors that the doings OF the

an indescribable and pitiable condition.
The sheriff. claiming that he has not been

nothing as far as is known. Strikers ter
