Captured the Deputies.

One hundred and fifty sheriff's depu-
ties reached Victor about 10 o'clock
a. m. They were Immediately sur
rounded by 400 miners and
pitched battle ensued. The deputies
were getting the worst of it and
were compelled to seek refuge behind
rocks, but they finally proceeded to
Independence mine and secured pos
| session, and were besieged by party
of miners. Preparations were made to
blow up the shaft, and at 1 o'clock in
the afternoon the deputies were COM
| PEELED to surrender. They were told
that if they would quietly hand
over their arms no injury would
be done. The deputies were then
marched to this city under
strong guard. Hundreds of miners are
patrolling the roads about the Victor
mine armed with Winehesters. They
have barracks of logs supplied with
loopholes, and have an abundance of
| ammunition. There is no telling to
what extreme the men may go.

Expect Settlement.
CHICAGO, May GA settlement of
the coal miners strike may be greatly
expedited as the result of conference
which will be held between the opera
tors in southern Illinois and President
| Mcbride of the miners union at
| Springfield next Monday. Such is
the opinion expressed by we'll
| informed men in the coal trade,
one man going SO far as to predict
| that all difficulties with the men could
| be adjusted in two weeks if differences
| between the Illinois operators could
be adjusted. The difficulty in this
state is that miners in the north
ern district are paid more than
those in the southern district.
The northern operators wished
to reduce wages fifteen cents, but it is
| proposed to compromise on a seven or
eight cent cut if the southern men will
raise wages sufficiently to equalize the
| cost of production. If this can be
brought about it is believed the trouble
throughout the country can be ad-
| justed.

DISASTER AT BROOKLYN.

BROOKLYN, May 90. "A four-story
brick building on Atlantic avenue,
near Court street, collapsed about $50
p. m. One man was killed, three
are missing and five or six
are badly hurt. The structure was
used as storehouse. A fire
started in the building about three
weeks ago, and this probably caused
the walls to weaken. Four men are
buried under thirty tons Of brick, lath
and mortar. One of the men can be
heard by the rescuing party, and he
says all of them are badly injured.
For several days workmen have been
engaged at the warehouse snoring up
walls, making repairs and excavating.
The heavy rain of the present
week had greatly interfered with
the work, and as it turned out the
rain also made the work extremely
dangerous. No one of the men at
work, howevers thought that the walls
were undermined by the rains. There
was no warning of the trouble. The
men were all busy at their work when
the ground was noticed to be sinking.
Before the workmen could get ont
of the way of the danger one of the
standing walls came down. Evidently
it had been greatly weakened by the
big fire and was ready to fall at the
slightest chance. Under the pilA--oi
bricks and rubbish the workmen were
buried. An alarm was sent to the
