They were to get $G5 a month and
their transportation. and IA written

He Earnestly Counsels His Followers to
Abstain From Violence.
CHICAGO, June 30.-In reply to the
statements sent out by the general
managers and the Pullman officials,
President Debs Friday issued com
munication to the railway employees of
America in which he called attention
to the great contest, reciting the causes
and outlining the policy of the Ameri-
can Railway union. After discussing
the situation and urging united action
on the part of the employees. the address
concluded with the following appeal:
l appeal to the striking men everywhere ia
refrain from any act of violence. Let there bO
no interference with the affairs of the several
companies involved, and above all let there be
no act of depreciation A man who will destroy
property or violate the law is an enemy and
not n friend to the cause of labor. The great
public is with us, and we need only to maintain
dignihed, honest straightforward policy to
achieve victory.
Let it be understood that this strike is not
ordered by myself or any other individual, nol
is the strike inaugurated anywhere except by
consent and authority of the employees them
selves Neither is this q fight simply of the
American Railway Union. The question of or
ganization ought not to be raised, but every
man who believes in organized railroad labor
should take his stand on the side of labor, and
battle for his rights and the rights of his fellow
men. / have faith in the great body of railway
employees of the country, and am confident they
will remain an unbroSen front in spite of any
opposition that may be brought to bear against
them.
Z am confident Of success. We can not fail.

ing the confident assertions made by
the railway managers, they are en-
comntcring serious difficulties in ut.
tempting to fill the places of the strils-
ers. Although 200 men were brought
into this city Friday morning to go TO
work in passenger yards, only one or
two crews were started on the first
day trick. AS fast as the men were
put to work they were persuaded to
quit, and at IL o'clock the tie-up was
about as complete as before. In the
Panhandle yards 30 men were started
to work, but the engineers refused to
work with them.
On the Chicago & Northwestern 20
extra brakeman were called out to take
the places of the striking switchmen,
but all refused. On the Northwestern
two crews were at work. One crew
consists of two men who struck on that
road in 1891, and the other is made up
of green hands. Word was received ut
the headquarters of the strikers Fri
day morning that the Northwestern
officials would issue general order to
the roadmen at once to take the places
of switchmen, with warning that all
who refused to obey would be per.
emptorily discharged. If this radical
move is made it is predicted that the
entire system will be tied up in all
branches of the service.
About o'clock Friday morning an
order was issued by President Debs to
the 1,5OOmen working at the stockyards
to strike promptly at 6 o'clock Friday
evening. The order is addressed tc
the switchmen, engineers and fire
men employed by the Union Stock
yards Transit Co., and the result
will be the complete tying up o.
all railroads centering in Chicago, Sc
far as work or business is concerned
at the yards. The A. r. U. officials
give as reason for ordering the
strike that the fight in Chicago hat
resolved into general boycott
against all roads which were repre-
sented at the general managers meet
ing. By tying up the stoclSyards /,
heavy blow was dealt all of the roads
1t is stated that the men will all ODE,
the order to strike.
An exciting meeting was held by th
employees at the yards Thursday nigh:
There was some division as to the prop
er time to strike, and it was not unit
daylight that anything like unanimou
action was secured.
In pursuance Of orders issued to boy
cott all roads in the General Managers
association fifteen or twenty com
mittees, armed with credentials ant
the proper authority, were starte'
out Friday morning with instruction
to call out railroad men generally
whenever and wherever they foun,

ON PIXIES PEAK,
Sensations Caused by q visit to the Lofty
Mount.


The view from the peak, once beheld,
can never be forgotten. The first sen.
sation is that of complete isolation.
The silence is profound. The clouds
are below us, and noiselessly break in
foaming pillows against the faces OF
the beetling cliffs. Occasionally the si.
lence is broken by the deep roll OF
thunder from the depths beneath, as
though the voice of the Creator were
uttering Il stern edict of destruction.
The storm rises. the mists envelop us.
there is a rush of wind, a rattle of hail,
and we seek refuge in the hotel. Pause
moment before entering and hold up
your hands, You can feel the sharp
tingle of the electric current as it es-
capes from your finger tips The storm
is soon over. and you can see the sun
beams gliding the upper surface of the
white clouds that sway and swing below
you. half way down the mountain sides,
and completely hide from view the
world beneath. The scenery shifts;
like a drawn curtain the clouds part,
and. as from the heights of another
sphere, we look forth upon the majesty
of the mountains and the plains. An
ocean of ineXtricably entangled peaks
sweeps into view. Forests dark and
vast seem like vague shadows on dis.
tant mountain sides. A city is dwarfed
into the compass of single block;
watercourseS are mere threads of silver
laid in graceful curves upon the green
velvet mantle of the endless plains.
The red granite rocks beneath our feet
are starred with tiny flowers, so minute
that they are almost microscopic, yet
tinted with the most delicate and tender
colors. The majesty of greatness and
the mystery of minuteness are here
brought face to face. 1t is in vain that
one strives to describe the scene. Only
those who have beheld it can realize it's
grandeur and magnifcence.-Cas

Whitehall, of Morgantown university,
were examined Friday in the murder
trial of f. M. Russell and wife, charged
with poisoning Mrs. Amanda Welch,
Mrs. Russells mother, wealthy
widow, near Brushy Fork, this county,
in February, in order to obtain her
property. The testimony was very
strong against the accused, Whitehall
proving beyond doubt that Mrs.
Welch died from arsenical poison.
Mrs. Russell's little brother testified
that his sister and brother-in-law pre-
pared his mothers last meal, which he
served. About one hundred witnesses

Enforce the laws prohibiting the OBJ

are violated"
Shortly afterwards Mr.. Carter sent q

answer to the dispatch was. ''Instruc-

ORIGIN OF THE DIAMOND.
Scientific Theories Accounting for the For.
nation of the Precious Stone.

Scientific Theories Accounting for the For
nation of the Precious Stone.
AS usual upon disputed points, specu-
lation has been busy about the origin
of the diamond. and a large number of
theories, all more or less probable, have
been propounded to set the matter at
rest. The two most reasonable exposi
tions are, perhaps, the explanations
put forward by NJ. Parrot and Baron
Liebig. The former scientist, who has
laboriously investigated the perplexing
subject, is of the opinion that the dia-
mond arises from the operation of vio-
lent volcanic heat on small PARTICLES of
carbon contained in the rock, or on a
substance composed of a large proper
tion of carbon and Il smaller quantity
of hydrogen. By this theory, as he con-
ceives. we are best able to account for
the cracks and flaws so often noticed
in the gem, and the frequent occur
renee of included particles of black car
bonaceous matter.
Baron Liebig, on the other hand.
claims the credit of offering simple
explanation of the probable process
which actually takes place in the for.
nation of the diamond. His contention
is that science can point to no process
capable of accounting for the origin
and production of diamonds, except the
powers of decay. If we suppose decay
to proceed in IL liquid containing car
bon and hydrogen, then a compound
with still more carbon must be formed:
and if the compound thus formed were
itself to undergo further decay, the
final result, says this eminent authori-
ty, must be the separation of carbon in
n crystalline form. n.-Gentlenan's Maya
