UNIoNTowN, PA, April Sunless
there is q radical change in the sitna-
tion in the Pennsylvania coke region
tonight, the strike Of the miners and
cokers is about broken. The authori-
ties have taken a stand and are deter
mined 10 put down the rioters at any
cost now. This policy has thrown the
law-breakers into a state OF demorali-
zation.
After the sheriff's posse concluded
the engagement with the mob which
murdered Chief Engineer Paddock yes
terday afternoon and landed the leaders
and over 100 strikers in the county
Jail, everything quieted down immedi-
tely and the reports from every point
in the region at the close Of the dav
showed that the lawless horde had been
generally subjugated.
Small outbreaks occurred at several
places early this morning, but as the
day advanced the strikers lost courage,
and the mobs which mped out last
night intending to make raids at every
working plant at daybreak commenced
to diminish in size and 5y the time that
half the route Of each was covered the
forces were
ALMOST COMPLETELY bIsBANDED.
Thus commenced the. beginning OF
the end of what was Intended TO be
the greatest strike Of coal miners and
coke workers In the history Of the coun-
try. The strikers elected new leader
at a delegate convention at Scottdale
to-day named Alex. : Markey, who
takes the place of President Il.
r. Davis, who is now behind the
bars here under the charge Of murder.
The strikers are still making threats OF
breaking in the jail. here and setting
those imprisoned free. The reports
that Sheriff Wilhelm had given up and
applied TO Governor Pattison for troops
TO preserve the peace and protect the
lives and property OF the work
men who want TO work, and the
coke operators who: want TO give them
employment is untrue. Sheriff VIII
helm was on the point Of calling on the
State authorities for military aid when
the mob killed engineer Paddock at
Davidson, but decided not to do so,
after consulting with his attorney. The
turning point came after the battle be-
tween the posse and the mob at Broad
Ford. and the sheriff found 1t unneces-
sary then to apply for military support.
WORK AT TIE COKE PLANTS
to-day was confined to the same num-
Der running on Wednesday. Very few
attempts were made by the strikers to
drive the workmen out. Additional re-
Inducements were sent by Sheriff Will
helm to Vanderbilt and other plants
working, and :the raving crowd
were not permitted TO trespass
beyond the public roads. On the pre-
vlous day Sheriff Wilhelm made little
attempt TO keep the strikers of the
property of the coke plants, but to-day
be said the strikers would not be
allowed to enter upon private property,
but they woulp be compelled to remain
upon the public roads.

Has Turned sentiment-The Arrest OF Da-
Wis Leaves the Rioters with no Leader.
UNIoNTowN, PA, April 5.-The ar
rest OF President l.. r. Davis, OF the To-
cal mine workers association aud his
lodgment in the Jail here to-day, has
placed the strikers in state OF bewild-
erment throughout the region and the
abandonment Of the strike within the
next twelve hours is being predicted.
President Davis is charged with
murder, and therefore cannot
be released on bail. A mob OF 1900
rioters, out OF which Davis was taken,
camped last night in the woods near
ScottdAle and did not make a move
during the night. They planned an
attack on the Meyer works Of w. j.
Rainey, but the absence OF leader
caused them to abandon the idea. They
will not move to-day until meeting OF
delegates from all over the region can
be held. They fully expected Davis to
return 70 them and map out plan OF
operation. but now new leader must
be chosen or the movement.
WILL FALL FLAT.
There is general CONSERVATION in the
ranks Of the strikers and many are In
favor OF giving up the strike. There
now ninety-five rioters in jail here, and
these are the leaders 10 the movement.
The only place decredations are being
committed Is at the Mt. Brsddock plant
OF w. J. RaineY, near Dunbar, where
about 500 Of the marauders are assem-
bled. They have destroyed some prop
erty about the plant, but no encounter
IS feared since the workmen will not at
tempt 20 enter the mine until the mob
is dispersed. The ovens were charged
last night and are burning. At Hill
farm the men returned and are being
guarded by fifty deputies. In other
points the situation Is unchanged. The
murder OF j. II. Paddock has turned
public sentiment against the strikerA

The Entire Coke Region Up In Arms.
More Arrests Made-six Found Dead.
SCoTTDALE, PA. April 5.-The en-
tire coke region is in q high state Of ex-
element to-day, aud fears OF more
bloodshed aud the destruction OF prop
ertv are entertained. From all points
come the reports of armed bodies OF
strikers assembling for the purpose OF
marching on works still in operation.
In this section all the plants are run
ming, but the Painter works, OF Nc
Clure & Co. The strikers visited the
works last night and remained with the
men until daylight. The workmen,
with few exceptions, are willing TO work,
but are afraid.
Sheriff Wilhelm Is still busy arresting
strikers who participated in yesterdays
riot In which chief engineer Paddock
was killed. He now has l25 men safely
behind the bars at Connellsville. About
THIRTY OF THE MOB
were surrounded in 3 house at Wander
bilt to-day. but they refused to surren-
der, and the house Is now In state OF
siege.
While making the arrests the deputies
were compelled to fire on the mob, sew
eral times. 1t is reported that the bod es
of six men were found on the road o
Adelaide, the direction In which the
mob fed.
Four hundred strikers camped near
here last night, aud at 9:30 o'clock this
morning started for Mt. Pleasant to
visit the works along the line. Sheriff
Mccain has from twenty-five TO one
hundred and twenty-five deputies at
each OF these plants and serious trouble
may be expected. The deputies are
we'll armed. and have orders TO arrest or
shoot any one guilty of disorder. Many
OF the workmen are also armed, so that
the mob will be certain TO
MEET A WARM RECEPTION.
A crowd of 600 is marching on MI.
Braddock and aSother mob OF nearly
1000 is en- .hc way to Lemont and Oil
yer. After stopping work at Hill Farm
and the Adelaide, they will cross the
river to attack Broadford. There is
talk OF a posse Of Connellsville citizens
forming to prevent them getting across
the river.

ciety was organized by the election Of
Adoph Hiehle, Of Parkersburg, as
president, j. w. Garvin, Of Wheeling,
as vice president and Prof. f. w. NJ.
Rane, OF the Experiment Station as

and rural embellishments among the
people.
Prof. Rane read an article on the
prospects OF fruit crop, and gave the
results Of the recent freeze practically as
given some time ago In the REGISTER.
He brought out interesting points in
regard to different varieties OF fruits,
some OF which stood the freeze much
better than others, from which valua-
BILE information as to varieties may be
derived. Discussion brought out the
statement that raspberries are not
killed.
Mr.. Garvln read paper on the cul-
ture Of small fruits arguing that not
enough OF them are raised and giving

viYed.
From a stat correspondent Of the Register
MoRGkNTowN, w. VA, April s.
The old West Virginia Wool Growers
and Sheep Breeders Association, or
ganited in 1879, was to-day reorgan-
lied in one Of the halls OF the State
University, its object being to encour-
age the breeding Of improved sheep, as
sist breeders in the sale of sheep,
encourage wool growers TO improve
their wool and sheep as we'll as TO en-
courage a more extensive raising Of
both wool and mutton and TO secure
protection against dogs and to cooper
ate with other similar State and nat
ional organizations.
The old constitution was rea1opted.
S. c. Gist, Of Brooke county, son OF the
former President, was elected Presi-
dent, and J. 3. Besll, son OF the former
Vice President, Secretary. The men,
bership embraced wool growers from
lall q uOLeu COuutloS aul kIedt ucdl VI
INTEREST WAS MANIFESTED
in the organization.
An interesting discourse was given the
the Association by Prof. Brown, dealing
with the effect OF soil and geological
formation in sheep raising. The red
Peruvian soil in the northern part OF
this State is peculiarly adapted TO the
raising of fine wool. is the same as that
on which the fine SaXony wool OF Prus-
sia is grown and is the largest area of
this soil in the United States east OF the
Mississippi. His remarks on
the kind Of sheep best adapted to the
different kinds OF soil provoked consid
cradle discussion among the sheep
growers and questions as to the practi-
cability of changing the soil so as 10
raise a better breed of sheep were fully
discussed. Professor Hopkins called at
teution to the scarcity of sheep in the
State, the acreage in Preston county,
one Of the best sheep counties in the
State, being 35 to the sheep, and urged
that more attention be given to sheep
raising. Some interesting papers will
be read to the Association tomorrow.

The formal opening OF the new building
of the Agricultural Experiment Sta
tiOn, which occurs tomorrow morning,
was made the occasion for meeting of
farmers who gathered on the call Of
DR.. John A. Myers, director Of the sta
tion.
Or. Myers has long desired to increase
the dairying, sheep growing and horti-
cultural interests of the farming COM
munity and the present occasion offered
an opportune time for getting the men
together.
As result OF the earnest labors of
himself and staff in that direction, an
impetus was to-day given the much
neglected interests of the West Vlr-
ginia farmer
The attendance, while not large, was
enthusiastic and the result OF the days
work bids fair to accomplish much for
this class Of our farmers.
DR.. Myers welcomed the farmers as
did Col. Z. J. Farnsworth, for seventeen
years a regent of the University. Presi-
dent Atkeson, of the State Board OF
Agriculture, made an address in which
he
DEPLORED THE WANT OF INTEREST
in wool growing and said that without
any wool at all it is more profitable to
raise sheep than cattle. lie made
farmers speech and wanted State de-
partment OF agriculture established.
He said the wool gro wers had less to
fear from the tariff than from dogs and
said that the statistics last year in Ka-
nawha county showed 14.5OO dogs and
eleven sheep.
Tomorrow speeches will be made by
DR.. Myers, John w. Mason, who will
speak on the sugar beet and others.
Prof. Hopkins will for the first time
make known a new scientific discovery
of Importance to farmers, and several
other papers will be read. Mr.. True Of
the National Department Of Agricul-
ture will be present. SUMMERS.
