THE DUBOIS STRIKE.


Tho General Com puny Store Burned.
9 Miners Hold n Meeting.
DUBoIs, Pa, Jan. 6.-The general
store OF Bell & Lewis o. this place was
burned to the first story to-day and the
atock Of merchandise was totally ruined
by water, Tho loss will reach $4,000.
Tho establishment was known n. "The
"Company's Store" and is generally
thought to have been owned by Bell
Ieuia & Yates, the coal operators,
whose miners are out on strike. It Is
the prevailing belief that the FIRE was
incendiarv in its origin.
1t was learned here to-day that the
miners, who are out on strike, held q
secre. meeting at Reynold,ville yes,er-
day afternoon. What was dono at the
meeting cannot belcarned, further than
that call. was issued for q general
meeting OF miners and citizeus to be
hold at tho opera house in this city to.
morrow morning at 10 o'clock at which
time the strikers will publicly define
their grievances and ask for aid and
sympathy from the public. Fifteen
hundred meu arc out, tho apparent
cause Of tho strike being tho discharge
OF four hundred men from the Bell,
Lewis & YateB mines last week.
Tho minors Of this region only re.
sumed work In June, aflcr n protractod
md irultle,s struggle OF several mon,hs'
duration, and IL is believed that tho
present movement Is but tho beginning
oi bitter fight between capital aud
labor in this district. Tho miners say
they believe the company is trying to
disrupt their union and that they will
fight until starvation compels them to
submit.

IN THE SENATE,

The Weeks Programme VIII IneInde Ao.
ton on the NicnrnSunn Cannl and Ap.
propiation Bills.
WAsHrSaros. D. G., Jan. 6.-Tbe sen.
ate will. undoubtedly, adjourn to-mor.
row soon after the hour Of meeting a.
mark OF respect to Representative
Post. On..==Tuesday the Nicaraguau
canal bill will again be before the sen.
ate, and the regular proceedings OF the
work will begin with speech in sup.
port OF the measure by Senator Mitchell,
Of Oregon. The friends Of the canal bill
are hopeful that vote may be reached
some time during the week, but
whether it will attain that important
stage will depend upon the persistence
Of the opposition and the interference
OF the business of the appropriations
committee.
Tho pensions appropriation is the
only appropriation bill now before the
senate. and it is not believed that its
consideration will consume much time,
but there is n probability that the
urgent deficiency bill will DO reported
during the week. and in case it should
be, and an effort Is made to call It up, 1t
is to be the basis for numerous speeches
on the appropriations for carrying the
income tax into effect. While the op-
ponents Of the income tax generally
disavow any intention to defeat the ap-
preparation, they openly confess their
purpose OF using il as text for speeches
on the general policy OF imposing such
tax. The probabilities are, however,
against any effort to secure considera.
tion OF this bill during the week.
1t is likely that two or three speeches
will be made against the Nicaraguan
bill during the week, and thero are still
others 80 far unannounced to be made
in its support. The advocates OF the
canal bill are beginning to grow some.
what anxious to receive vote. as they
suspectlan effort to hold this oil until it
may be possible to displace tho bill on.
tirely with some other measure, or, il
this be avoided and the bill passed,
that it will reach the house too late to
secure consideration during the present
session.
The general understanding now is
that When the Nicaragua bill
shall be disposed :of by the senate
the bankruptcy bill will DO taken up, for
consideration and that after that the
territorial admission bills will receive
attention.

Special Diss1ieh 10 ne iate..iqtacr.
srEcsESyILLg, o., Jan. G.-Quito 4
sensation was caused here to-day by tho
nows Of the appointment Of w. Il
Elliott as receiver Of tho Joaorson iron
works, and tho news will create q sur
prise In business clrclos In Wheeling,
although anticipated hore by those con.
versant with the atiairs OF tho company.
Such action In court was agreed upon ut
mcoting OF the directors January /,
and last evening before Judge Mans
field s. N. McClinton made application,
representing that no owned $1,000
worth aud his mother and family $780,.
900 worth Of tho capital stock
OF the company, OF which S700,.
600 has been Issued, aud that
the mill at the present selling price OF
iron could DO operated only at loss.
He prayed for an in junction against ita
being operated; and because tho mill is
incorporated under the laws OF West
Virginia, in justice to, all creditors, as
its assets might be attached by a few.
he asked for receiver. The liabilities
were alleged to be SlSO,000. OF which
$4,000 is held by I. A. Hammond,
cashier oil the National Exchange bank,
IN trustee for the stockholders, In the
shape Of first mortgage bonds.
The mill was built in tho flftics by
Frazier. Kilgore & Co., but wont into
liquidation and was purchased BY
Spaulding, Woodward * Co., the mem
bers being nail manufacturers connected
withlthe LaBelle mill in Wheeling. 1t
was 80 successfully operated that it was
capitalized for SS0o.000 in 1881 as the
Jefferson iron works, and in 1882, David
Spaulding sold LOO shares, OF q par
value OF 500 each, for $ll6 a share,
which is held to-day by the Doty and
McClinton estates. But from a mill
employing eight hundred hands /. has
dwindled down until It's hands were
lately employed and the stock would
not bring twenty cents on the dollar.
President 5. K. Wallace says the
asscta will more than meet liabilities,
but they were not available for the
purpose. W. R. Elliott has been a
director in the company for years and,
1t is thought, will e1trlcate the business
OF the company from its present shape.
The appointment was made last night
and only leaked out to-day. The COM
pany wanted to send statements to
creditors which they claim will be
satisfactory before the matter was made
public.

tho conductor. who stuck to his post, aa
did also tho motorman.
by this time they were moving at tho
rate ot a mile minute, aud many
spectators gazed in horror at the runa-
way, which looked every moment as
though 1t would dash into ono OF tho
buildings that lined the road down tho
hill. The car Kept tho rail, however,
until the sharp curve at the foot OF the
hill was reached. Right here the track
leads into Ferry street. on one side OF
which stands the building OF tho Cor
nell Steamboat Company. Tho run
away dashed over this curve ut q terrific
rate and plowed half way through the
towing office, taking down hugo iron
pillar in its flight.
Tho motormau was seriously injured
about the skull and he has been uncon-
scious ever since and is likely to die.
Conductor Norton came through safely.
Mrs. James Seiaorth was seriously
shocked and received q number OF
minor injuries. Her sister who was
also in the car was severely bruised but
not seriously. Two gentlemen from
Germantown jumped just before the
car struck and escaped with slight in.
juries.
Motorman Link was taken to the city
hospital but tho others did not require
much attention. The car was badly
mashed and considerable damage was
done by the collision.
