P1TTsBURG, July 24.-Only two furnaces
in the Sligo mill were on yesterday. all
the old puddlers having failed to repors
for duty The cause of the strike is given
by the men to be that the mill ownsrs
violated the contract entered into three
months ago, when the men return cd to
work at g. so with the understanding that
at the end of the three months they were to
receive 10 per cent. OF the earnings. The
company now claims that there is no
money to divide with the men, aud tho
workers thinking differently have gone on
strike.

sherman's Diamonds.

you said something about congress HSn1lS'
ting or paying back some tariff tax ON some
Jewels or diamonds TO Miss Minnie SheF-
man. What was the amount, the date, and
whose daughter is she?
Please give US the particulars Of the mat
ter more fully in your next issue, and
greatly Oblige us. j. w. JONES'
Miss Minnie Sherman (now msrried)
ia 10 daughter Of the late General w. I.
Sherman.
The Khedive OF Egypt desired to pre-
sent General Sherman q magnificent lot
Of diamonds valued at more than
100000.
AS the general wHs holding chief COM
msnd Of the United States army at the
time, the gift could not be made di.
reCtly to him. The constitution forbidS
an official Of this country accepting
gifts from foreign rulers, govern
ments, etc.
But oil the same General Sherman
determined to have those diamonds.
Therefore the Egyptian ruler presented
them, not to the general himself, but to
the generals daughter Minnie.
Which was all lovely and correct
and highly characteristic Of the Sher-
man family.
When the diamonds reached the New
York custom house they were valued at
the moderate sum Of 100000; and, a. the
import duty on diamonds is only one
fourth as high Rs it is on blankets,
woolen clothes, axes, hoes, etc., the gov
eminent only assessed q tax Of 5000
against these royal gems, where it would
have been $4,000 on blankets, axes, ETC.,
Of the poor man.
But General Sherman refused to pay
the bill. He had Q brother named John,
who, by the grace Of gold and plutOC'
rscy, was member Of the United States
senate.
Therefore it occurred TO the Sherman
brothers that il would be q neat thing
to have the entire tariff system repealed
and Sbolished--in this particular case.
Both the Sherman brothers were RAM
can't protectlonists, as long as other peo-
pie paid the import taxes. But when it
came to making Sherman pay tariff
assessments, the horse began to change
color with startling rApidity. It sud.
denly occurred to them that Stree trade"
90 to those diamonds, at least, would be
q most pleasant doctrine.
So they got old Senator Morrill,, OF
Vermont, to introduce q resolution in
the senate suspending the tariff system
in favor Of Minnie Sherman, and MAX
ing her gift of the 5000 taxes on these
diamonds. This tax had already 40.
crued, was due, and belonged to the
federal treasury. Hence tho Shermans
not only obtained q GIFT Of magnificent
jewels, but got a 5000 alice out Of the
public funds also.
Morrill's resolution passed unani-
mouSly.
To show that the diamonds we're not
Oonsiderd the exclusive property Of
Minnie Sherman but were treated, by
the family, as General Sherman's prop
srty, have only to mention the fact
reported by the newspapers) that after
General Sherman's death these diS-
monds were divided among the chill
dren.

A Tramp Falls From a Car and Is Sc
rIously Injured.


rIously Injured.
Yesterday afternoon about $3.50 o'clock
a tramp named Morris Price, who was
stealing a ride on a B. & o. train, was
pretty seriously injured by being knock
ed off or falling from the train at a point
near the Belmont blast furnace.
1t seems as far as can be learned
that Price, In company with
another knight OF the road, were In a
box car. and as the train was passing
down by the Belmont mill Price was
standing in the door looking out. In
some way just as the train passed
under ths trestle that spans the rail-
road at that point he either fell out Of
the car or was knocked of by one Of
the supports OF the trestle, and fell
with one arm on the track.
He was picked up and taken to the
City Hospital. An examination showed
that his arm was so badly crushed that
an amputation would be necessary, and
Drs. Reed and Wilson performed the
operation. In addition to his arm he
he was otherwise seriously injured, and
it is doubtful whether he will recover
