James White, another farm. hand in
the employ of Barrett, had most
miraculous escape. He was in the
field with a team, in company with
Oxinger, and started to the barn. To
the fact that his team became unman-
ageable and broke away from him
he probably owes his life. When the
team ran away from him he started
diagonally for the house, when the
storm struck him, and he grasped the
bottom rail of the fence with all his
might The fence was completely de-
molished, but the PROSTATE man lay
unframed.
Just across the road from the Bar
rett residence stood a log-and-frame
building occupied by Charles Cole and
his wife. Cole and his wife took refuge
in the rear of the house, which was al
most entirely demolished. They were
carried a distance of 100 yards. Coles
left hip was broken and he was other
wise badly bruised. His wife is badly
bruised about the head, the skull near
the left temple being crushed.
The Storm at Alliance. o.
ALLIANCE, O., May 1s.-For half an
hour yesterday the city was enveloped
in nearly total darkness during the
worst storm which ever struck this
part of the state. The velocity of the
wind was over sixty miles an hour.
Hundreds of shade trees and chimneys
were swept before the storm. Several
persons standing in the store doors of
the Coates block had narrow es-
cape from being killed by the fall Of
a heavy iron cornice. Lightning
destroyed the Central Union Telegraph
exchange and burned out every tele-
phone in the city. Several small fires
were started by the burning tele-
phones. For two miles along the Fort
Wayne track every telegraph pole is
blown down. Big damage to farm
property is reported.

Nothing disorderly was done. The

come out. After threatening another
raid if the remainder do not come out,
the strikers marched to the Supe mine.

A GENERAL STRIKE
In the Iron and Steel Trade Being Dis

In the Iron and Steel Trade Being Dis
cussed by the Workmen.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, May 1S-Probably
the most important business to be con
sidered at the Cleveland convention Of
the Amalgamated Association of Iron
and Steel Workers is the ACCESSIBILITY
of a general strike in the iron trade.
Such is the report current among the
local iron and steel workers who say
that the project has been under discus
sion in their lodges for several months.
According to the same sources of in
formation emissaries have been work.
ing with much success among the en-
ployes in nonunion mills. 1t is well
known that the nonunion workers, as
we'll as the unionists have become dis
satisfied over the present condition of
affairs.
1t is stated that the proposition of
the Amalgamated Association of Iron
and Steel Workers organization to
cooperate has been eagerly accepted.
For the purpose of stirring up gen.
eral strike sentiment for higher wages,
trusted organizers have been sent to
Steelton, Harrisburg, Scranton, Phil
ooCipAlAd oCtSto"h, DCllC1ohGC anu
other eastern manufacturing cities to
sound the workingmen and ascertain
whether they will join in the move
ment.
This national strike, it is said, will
not be ordered Immediately. Six
months or more may elapse before it
is undertaken. In the meantime a
part of the plan is to have the conven-
ton adopt the sixty-day limit wage
scale.
1t is also asserted that in many mills,
which are nominally working under
individual agreement, secret lodges
have been organized, and the men are
only awaiting an opportunity to as
sert their allegiance to the Amalga-
mated association. The recent strikes
in nonunion mills are indicative of the
spirit of unrest now prevalent, and the
association are not slow
to take advantage of the situation. It
is confidently predicted that unless
there are radical changes in the plans
during the Cleveland convention that
a national strike in the iron and steel
industries will certainly he ordered

Many tracts of land on which the com
pany's eastern investors hold first mortgages
have been allowed to go to sale for the taxes
of 1892 without the knowledge of the eastern
investors. 1t is further alleged that large
sumo of money collected by the company for
eastern investors in it's loan and bonds have
been spent by the corporation without these
investors knowledge or consent July next
100000 will be due on these degentures in
principal and 100000 in interest and the
company will be unable TO make the pay
ments.
Two hundred thousand dollars Of deben-
ture bonds issued by the company were
based on second mortgages and stocks in
defunct institutions. The company holds
400 mortgages, representing 100000 on land
in Holt county, Neb., so poor that purchasers
for 1t could not be found even at tax sale,
and 1t reverted to the county for unpaid
taxes. Men took up homesteads this
worthless soil, and by colusion with the
company's local agents, who reported false
appraisements to the home office, secured
loans of $500 to $1,000, then abandoned the
farms as their only purpose in taking up
the claims was to secure the loans
In South Dakota also the company holds
mortgages on 500 tracts Of worthless land
many Of the farmers having abandoned
their farms after securing the loans. The
ease and enormity with which this imposi
tion was practced on the company is attrib-
uted to the careless and reckless manage
ment of the company, particularly in en-
ploying incompetent inspectors or field
agents. who were supposed to examine the
lands and pass on their value. The COM
pany's New York office has been closed and
it is believed the application for a receiver
ship will not be resisted.
