A Battle With Strikers.

Yesterday afternoon large body Of
men armed with Winchesters were dis
covered near Slope 3 of Pratt mines of
the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
Company, seven miles from Birming-
ham, Ala. 1t was the hour when the
men at work at the mines came out.
The men at work were negroes who
had taken the places of the strikers
and the attacking party were strikers
and their sympathizers. AS the ne
groes came out the strikers opened fire.
Several hundred shots were fired be-
fore the strikers scattered. Guards
stationed around the mine returned the
fire, but they were few in number. A
white man and negro were killed,
and several on both sides were wound
ed. Two local military companies were
hurried to the scene and are in the
neghborhood. An attempt was made
yesterday to blow up the Lockhart
mines in Walker county, where the ne
groes had taken the places of the
strikers. Two explosions of dynamite
were fred simultaneously in different
places in the mine, and much damage
was done. A colored driver and his
mules were instantly killed. A second
battle was fought at Slope No. of the
Pratt mines simultaneously with that
at No. 5, and the total dead reaches
six, with at least score wounded. The
strikers were driven Off by the deputies.
Forty-two alleged rioters were jailed
at Birmingham this morning on
charge Of murder. Fifty more will be
arrested. Further violence is feared.
Attempts were made during the night
to burn railroad cars in the yards at;
Birmingham, but they were unsucces<-
full. An attempt was made to wreck q
Louisville and Nashville passenger
train by breaking switch. A reign
of terror seems to be on.

BANGOR. Ireland, July 1.-THE Vig-
liant and Britannia started IN 'he''
eight, contest to-day, the race pe'ng
for the commodore's cup of the hoyai
Ulster Yacht Club, over the same
course as yesterday. The weather
was showery but there was strong
westerly wind which promised to hoic
out. The yachts crossed the line TO-
gether at 1l:00l2. 1t took two tacks
to reach the first mark, the Britannia
rounding one minute and fifteen sec
onds astern. The Vigilant perceptlbly
gained upon the Britannia in the spank
ing breeze and rounded the second flag
boat two minutes and one second ahead.
Getting away on the reach for the
Briggs mark the Vigilant was sailing
grandly and gave evidence of being
handled for all she was worth. She
reached the mark nearly three minutes
ahead of the Prince of Wales's cutter
and rounded the commodore's boat
five and a.half minutes ahead OF the
Britannia. The Vigilant had steam
ship gait on her and covered the four
and one-half mile leg at fourteen knot
speed. She was rapidly leaving her
rival when the jaws of the Britannlas
gaf broke and the Englishman gave
up the race. The Wigilant, which was
six minutes ahead when the Britannia's
mishap occurred, sailed over the course
and won. 1t is conjectured that she
would have beaten the Britannia by
about nine minutes had not the accl-
dent occurred.

them drew pistols and fired at the
trainmen. The shots caused the engi-

Tcrriblc Mine Explosion

HAzELToN, Pa, July 1.-The most
horrible accident which has ever &C.
cured about the mines in this region
took place at No. Stockton mine at 7
o'clock this morning Two hundred
sticks of dynamite exploded among a
crowd of mel who were preparing to
90 to their days work. All of these
unfortunates were scattered and torn
to fragments. The exact number killed
is not positively known at this writing,
but it is placed between eight and
eleven. The true cause of the explosion
will never be known as none of the
men are living. The men were DIES
cending the slope at the time and dis
tributing themselves at the bottom of
the slope. Charles O'Donnell was deal
ing out dynamite and caps. The driver

the only persons who were in the vicin-
ity at the time and the first intimation
of an accident they received was the
terrific report of the explosion. The
conclusion was so severe rs to knock
the mules and drivers about in the
stable. The place was filed with dust
and flying debris. All lights were ex-
tinguished and the men were demorali-
zed. The explosion took place three
hundred yards below the surface and
the shock was felt three miles south
and in the adjoining mine, No. 3,
Stockton. From the latter mine a
rescuing party rushed through sub
terranean passage ways to No. S. AS
these men approached the bottom of
the Inflated slope they came up with
the drivers and others cropping about
in the darkness. Huge timbers were
twisted and torn and scattered about
promiscuosly. Rocks and debris were
everywhere. Over all was strewn
human flesh, legs and arms of the un
fortunate victims and from the Jagged
sides hung two shattered bodies. Not
one of the several bodies was left sufii.
GENTLY intact to permit identity. By
this time the news became current on
the surface and the widest excitement
took possession of the villagers. Wives

ran aimlessly about crying for aid and
for their loved ones. Rescuing parties
were formed Immediately. a number
of miners were lowered into the pit and
on the return cage assembled the mon
and boys who had escaped the terrible
catastrophe. The work of collectin

to the excitement this work has not

II Is not denied that the Governor OF
one State asked Mr.. Debs to allow the
militia of his State, who had been to a
State encampment, to return home by
rail. And now it is proved that the
Mayor ola large city begged Mr.. Debs
to let q train load Of spoilt meat be car
red out i the municipal limits so as to
avoid the breeding of a pestilence. Is
it any wonder that Mr. Debs, recently
out of a gold cure establishment, as he
was, should have imagined himself
monarch OF al he surveyed ? Nor is it
at all wonderful that States and cities
should have such Governors and May

The Recent Strike.

When Mr.. Debs, president of the
American Railway Union, was seen al
the Revere House in Chicago yesterday
he expressed himself as still being in
hopes of winning the big strike. eve
have by no means conceded that the
strike is lost at Chicago" said Mr.
Debs.
The situation at the town of Pullman
appears to be growing more serious for
the strikers. 1t is the general opinion
that, if the works of the Pullman Com
pany are opened to-day there will be a
stampede of the men to regain their
old positions. During the last a hours
the attitude of the strikers has under
gone q marked change, and, where pre-
viously they were talking about how
the fight was won, to-day little groups
of workmen talked of how they had
lost the strike. The Pullman Compa-
ny announced yesterday that it is will
ing to take back the striking employees.
Thos. W. Heathcote, one of the leaders
of the strike, says the strikers are
starved out and will probably go to
work, as the difference between them
and the company is small, relating
only to rent. Heathcote, admitted that
he had practically given up hope, the
only reason for holding on was that
Debs might be able to come to the res
cue. He said if Debs would declare
the general strike off, the Pullman
strike would also be at an end.
At st. Louis yesterday interest in the
strike was revived slightly by the adj
mission of National Director Elliott
that so far as st. Louis and vicinity is
concerned the A. r. L. has lost the
contest. According to Director Elliott,
fully third of the strikers have re-
turned to work

TUESDAY EVENING, JULY II, 1894.

THE New YORK Herald, as we'll as
the World, seems to think Mr.. Pull
man should have submitted the differ
ences between himself and his en-
ployes to arbitration, though he says ne
couldn't pay the wages asked and run
his works without loss. Mr.. Bennett
employs almost as many hands as MIR.
Pullman. Ifthey should demand high
err wages than he could afford to pay,
would he submit his whole affairs to
the inspection and examination OF peo-
nle not at all interested in his welfare,
and who could not possibly, after
their curiosity had been complete
ly gratified, know as much aoou
his business as he does? His
printing office is his own and is man
aged by his own brains and supported by
his own money, and as this is, nomi-
nally at least, land of freedom, in
which every man has the liberty to do
what he pleases, provided he does not
infringe upon that of others, and where
belief in the book upon which rests
the Christian religion is protested,
which book teaches that man can do
as he pleases with his own, that he
would do what he blames Mr.. Pull
man for not doing, is what few reason
able people believe. If those who say
Mr.. Pullman was wrong, would only
put themselves in his place they would
change their tune and say be was right
tout of the new revenue bill or to defeat
that whole bill if it be retained therein.
