RiOting Elsewhere.

A dispatch from La Sale, ILL.,, says: La
Sale has passed through the experience OF
being all day in the hands of a mob Of strik-
ing miners. All day long they had things
their own way, and when Sheriff Taylor and
his handful of deputies sought to put re.
straining hand upon their actions they
turned upon him and gave battle.
Not one Of the deputies escaped injury,
and Sheriff Taylor and Deputies Walters,
HoolIhan and Devere were dangerously, IL
not fatally, injured.
When another forco of deputies arrested
three of the ringleaders the Jail was entered
by the infuriated horde and the release OF
the men accomplished.
The foreigners were armed with all kinds
of deadly weapons and carried arms full OF
rocks and clubs, and attacked the Saerl1
and his posse Of forty deputies.
The strikers opened fire and 1t was re-
turned by the Sheriff and deputies, the latter
holding their own until all their ammunition
was used, when they were forced to hy for
safety.
The success of the strikers in their riot
seemed to infurlate them until they lost their
heads completely. They then began parad-
ing the streets, bowling and raising pande-
monium.
About 7.15 o'clock p. m. two of the ring
leaders were put under arrest by deputy
sheriffs and hurried through the Harrison
House and taken to jail through tho back
alleys.
In five minutes n mob of 1000 men had
aurrounded the hotel and threatened to
blow it up unless the prisoners were pro-
duced. The widest excitement prevailed,
and all the guests of the hotel left for guar
ters more safe. The prisoners were liber-
nted to avoid bloo1shed.
The Pittenger and Davis nine, In Centralta,
ILL.,, which had been working for several
days with about thirty men, was visited by
delegation OF strikers from Duquoin and st.
Johns mines. The miners attacked and bad
~ damaged the works. The shaft was filed
with loose material, such as trucks, cars and
tools. The betting on the machinery was cut
and the oil-cups knocked from all the shaft
ing. Several wheels we're broken and the
machinery rendered useless. Every pane of
glass In the entire lot Of buildings was
Smashed. The damage is estimated at about
$4,000. The men came from Duquoin on
freight train, which they captured, and forced
Engineer Charles Stewart to haul then to
Centralia.

MINERS SHED BLOOD.
Strikers Seize Train, and Have a
Fight With Deputies.

F1gnC w lUn DGputIcS'
The striking miners, after holding tur-
bulent mass-meetiDg near Victor, Col,
withdrew into the hills, only to re-
appear about midnight. Sixty of them
captured the construction train, awoke
the sleeping engineer and ordered him to
run them down the track to Wilbur
Station, where the deputies were resting in
their special train. They said they wanted
to blow up bridge to prevent the deputies
getting too near. Near Wilbur they came
upon several deputies guarding a bridge.
Both sides opened fire. William Rabideau,
a deputy. shot two or three miners, and was
killed by q bullet wound near the heart.
Rabideau was driven out of the camp weeks
ago, and was especially obnoxious to the
leaders. In this skirmish Hiram Crowley
and two other miners and a deputy, whose
name is undown, were killed. Four miners
were taken prisoners and conveyed to Flor
ence. The miners returned with their stolen
tain. while the deputies retired further
down the road TO await reinforcements.
Governor Waite ordered out the militia to
suppress the rioters at Cripple Greek, though
in doing it he took strong sides against the
deputies.

A young accountant in New York City got
his accounts entangled. He knew he was
honest, and yet he could not make his ac-
counts come out right. and he toiled at them
day ana night until he was nearly frenzied.
It seemed by chose books that something had
been mi5appropriated, and he knew before
God he was honest. The last day came. He
knew if he could not that day make his ac-
counts come out right he would go into dis
grace and go into Punishment from the busi-
ness establishment. He went over there very
early-pefore there was anybody in the place
and he knelt down at the desk and said:
80 Lord Thou knowest I have tried to be
Lonest, but cannot make these things come
out right! Help me to-day-help me this
morning" The young man arose, and hard
ly knowing why he did so opened book
that lay on the desk. and there was a leaf
containing line of figures which explained
everything. In other words, he cast his
burden upon the Lord, and the Lord sus-
tanned him. Young man, do you hear that?
Oh, yes, God has a sympathy with any
body that is in any kind of toll He knows
how heavy is the hod of bricks that the
workman carries up the ladder on the wall.

confirming his throne by bribery, cor.

wholesale murder-it was at such q
moment, this adventurer having got
himself accepted by the courts of Europe
as the ruler of the French, that Victor
Hugo hurled against the MAN Of De-
cembor" these truly appalling but pro-
phetic words;
''Let us not slay this man. Let us
keep him alive. A superb punishment!
Oh, if one day he might pass along the
highway naked, bowed down, trembling
as the grass trembles at the wind, under
the execration of the whole human racel

looking man. STOPPING on his horse, the
dye washed out of his hair, his mus
tache draggled, passing unsaluted by his
own officers, with the common soldiers
grinding their teeth and muttering
curses upon him. Had this vision risen
before the eyes Of the prophet poet in
1852, his words could hardly have been
more aptly chosen. H. r. Howeis in
