ia SALE, H., May a7.-Quiet has
roigned in this city to-day, and the re-
cQption rendered the invading army Of
st1kers from Ladd and Spring VAL
lcg seems TO have had good effect
upon the murderous rioters in the
place. They seem to have skunk to
their huts and kept away from the out
side world. A few who can boast of
having good suit of clothes stood in
groups in various parts of the city
probably discussing the situation. 1t
Is the general impression here that
the strikers are badly frightened
and afraid TO move for fear Of being in
troduced to dose of cold lead. The
militia are here to preserve order, and
TINT they mean business is evidenced
sh,..Ss.e fact that every movement of the
Estrfkers Is closely watched. Although
it is as quiet as graveyard and there
is little danger of an outbreak. Col.
Bennett and his men are prepared for a
march at any moment. The strikers
have moved without any notice in all
previous attacks, and the militia is pre-
pared to intercept the next movement
on their part.

A DISASTROUS WRECK.

An Express Train Running SixtyMiies -
Hour Dashes Suddenly Into a Iandslide--
The Engineer and Fireman, Caught Un-
der Their Locomotive, Crushed and
burned Out of All Human Scmblance--A
Narrow Escape.
CUMBERLAND, Nd. May 27.-This
morning about o'clock one Of the most
disastrous wrecks known in the history
of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad oc-
Cured near Pine Grove, two and one
half miles east of lockwood, Pa, on
the Pittsburgh division of that road.
The Inflated train was the New York
& Pittsburgh express, which left this
place at 1880 this morning with two
regular express cars, combination ex-
press and mail car and several day
coaches.
The coaches were well filled with
passengers, and the train was running
at the. rate Of sixty miles an hour.
Suddenly, without moments warn
ing, the engine dashed into a large
landslide. sendias ritsin sstwih3tifng
down into the creek, where it still lies.
The combination mail and express and
the regular express cars crashed into
the engine with terrific force, and in a
few minutes were on fire. The coaches
with their precious burden of passen-
gers were jammed together but did not
leave the track, to which fortunate oc-
currence is due the fact that there were
none of the passengers injured.
AS soon as the train quieted from the
concussion, the passengers rushed to
the piled-up and burning express cars
where they found Messenger Stohl. of
the United States Express Co., strug-
Cling to escape from his car. In a mo-
ment he was rescued but not until he
had received serious injuries about the
head and body and probably internally,
but it is thought he will recover.
The passengers then turned their at
tention to the derailed engine below in
the creek, and were Mortified to find no
signs of the engineer or his fireman.
For five long, weary hours they con-
tinued their search, until at last they
found the crushed and dead body of
Fireman Rhinehart under the locomo-
tive. One of his feet was entirely
burned off.
Continuing their search they came
across bits of the remains of the unfor-
tunate Engineer Nicholson. These
they gathered up and put in bucket.
the rest of his body having been en-.
tirely consumed by fire.
Messenger Stohl was taken to Balti.
more, where he lives. on train 6 this
afternoon. The remains of Engineer
Nicholson and Fireman Rhinehart were
taken to Glenwood, Pa, where they
leave families.
All traffic was suspended for FIVE Or
six hours.

TIME TO APPLY THE BRAKES
The Leaders Of the Great Coal Miners
Strike Trembling at Its Magnitude and
Awful Possibilities.

The Leaders Of the Great Coal Miners
Strike Trembling at Its Magnitude and
Awful Possibilities.
COLUMBUS. o., May 27.-Secretary Nc
Bryde said yesterday that the miners
strike had assumed very menacing
condition toward the industries of the
country, and, in his opinion. it was high
time the fast train on both sides got to-
gether and settled it. There was more
money lost every day by reason of the
idle mines than all the profits on the
great railroad contracts which are
blocking the settlement put together.
ut is not our fault" said he, that the
strike is continued. We have been Or
ganized and ready to negotiate as a
body since the strike began. The opera.
tors cannot act as a unit for some rea-
son."
President John Mcbride received n
letter from brewing company at
Terre Haute, Ind. in which an offer
was made that if coal was allowed to
be mined for the company they would
pay 5000 per week into the treasury OF
the United Mine Workers besides pay
ing the scale wages.
A brewing company at Massillon, o.,
made a piteous appeal. They had been
getting their coal from private bank.
1t is now closed. They have but little
coal, and can get none. If their cool
ing and ice-making machines arc
stopped such an enormous expense will
be put upon the company that it will
bankrupt it.
President Mcbride left for Spring
field last evening without taking any
action in these cases. He calls atten-
ton to the fact that the rioting miners
at Cripple Creek, Col, are gold and sill
yer miners, and do got belong to the
coal miners union.

SAVED BY A STORM,
Which Prevented an Attack by Riotous
Miners In Sickle Hollow, Pa.

CoNNEILsvILLE, Pa. May 26.-The cold,
ceaseless rain of Thursday night and
yesterday morning doubtless prevented
for time. at least. repetition of
Thursdays bloody affair at the Wash.
ington mines in Sickle Hollow. The
strikers were fully determined to
avenge those of their fellows who fell
in Thursdays battle with the depu-
ties. Mobs were organized at Penn
vile. Vanderbilt and Dunbar, for the
avowed purpose of revenge.
The Pennville mob Thursday night
marched to the Meyer works, where an
attack was contemplated When within
short distance of the plant they were
infnrmed by the strikers from Meyer
that seventv-five armed deputies were
awaiting their arrival. After con.
sultation the drenched and shivering
strikers moved on the Summit works,
where only few men were on guard.
Before half the distance was covered
many of the marchers were completely
exhausted and had fallen in their
tracks by the wayside. Those remain
ing dispersed to their homes.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
Weather and Crops.

The past week opened favorably foy
agricultural interests. Warm weather
prevailed showers fell over most of the
State, and though local in character, it
VAS only here and there in limited tracts
that no rain was recorded. All crops
received a fresh impetus, and weeds as
well, SO that field hands found plenty
of work between the rows, scraping and
cleaning. All growth looked well and
crop reports received toward the middle
of the week were very encouraging.
This favorable condition of affairs re-
| ceived rude shock on the night of the
18th by the entrance of cold wave into
the. State General thunder-storms, ac-
companied by hail in Jefferson, Carroll,
Jasper and Greene counties, preceded the
change in temperature, which closely fol-
lowed with brisk dry north wind. Light
frOsts formed in Coahoma county Oh the
18th, and in many of the northern coun-
ties the effect on cotton, as indicated by
its wilted and sickly appearance, fell but
little short of what would have been pro-
duced by IA light frost The cold was
| damaging to growth in the upper two
thirds of the State, in the remaining
southern portions the cold had the effect
of checking growth, but no permanent
damage is expected from that factor, and
the only injury done was by high winds
which beat down some cotton and corn
The upland crop was damaged more than
| any other, owing in a great measure to
| the fact that the drouth mentioned in
previous bulletins had caused bad stands,
| and the cotton being younger was less
able to stand the cold. In the delta some
damage was noticed. but the plant had
age sufficient to withstand the cool spell
The rains of the week were not suf-
| ficient to impede outdoor labors, and the
farmers will keep down weeds without
| much trouble. Fields are now pretty
| clean.
Cotton and corn will come out the worse
from the recent snap. The replant re.
| ceived serious backset at a time when
| most in need of favorable conditions, and
| though cotton is Il staple known to re-
cuperate wonderfully after injury in the
early stages of its growth, the stands il
the norton portion of the State will bt
decreased, and corn will suffer to sim
lar extent. Farmers fear damage by lie,
| in cotton as a result of the cold spell
though this pest is as yet only a prophecy
| Melon vines showed the effect Of the
cold, and likewise potatoes and gardel
truck generally. The latter products vii
not be materially affected, however.
| Reports on the oat crop were not favor
able. The heads are showing up small
and there is some complaint of rust. The
weather has been too dry all along fol
| this crop.
LOcusts are increasing in numbers il
all sections, but are doing no damage.

Riot at Homestead.

HOMESTEAD. Pa, May ga riot oc'
Cured near the mills in the Second
ward where there are number of un-
employed Slavs. George Herskovitz,
an educated Slavonic, residing here,
tried to induce them to go to the
coke works. A Jewish merchant
with whom they dealt said that if they
did not go to work he would refuse to
keep them any longer: A little later
they held meeting at which Hersko.
vitz appeared. About 400 chased him
to the river, but he escaped by getting
into skiff and going to the other side
of the river.
