OHIO MINERS STARVING.
Great Destruction in the Hooking and
Sunday Creek Valleys.


COLUMBUS, o., Jan. IA man who
resides in the Hooking Valley, and is
familiar with the condition of the
miners there, said yesterday that they
nave been in destitute circumstances
for some time, and that the matter was
reported to the officials of the United
Mine Workers, but they practically
ignored it, probably because they did
not comprehend the real truth.
When they failed to take action.
the miners appointed committees. who
for the last two months have been
going quietly about the country solic-
iting aid, which they said was for
Hooking Valley railroad men who had
lost their situations by reason of the
strike on that road last summer. This
was done in order that the public
might not know tnat the miners were
in impoverished circums stances.
The restitution in the Sunday Creek
Valley is even greater than in the
Hooking Valley G-Nin and about Mel
sonville, where thee9 Kst appeal came
from. A newspaper nS.n just arrived
from the scene says thaO Sf,is impossi-
BILE to conceive how such ~Snditions
could exist in civilized country.
When he asked the miners how they
would guard against such circum-
stances in the future, they almost in
variably answered that they would
work more and strike less.

THE CIGARETTE TRUST.
RUMORED INDICTMENT BY DIS
TRICT ATTORNEY GLENN.
The American Tobacco Company Try

Winston Manufacturers

The American Tobacco Company Try.
ing tn Secure Injunction Against
Winston Manufacturers.
From Daily Sentinel Dec. 18th.
1t is rumored that District Attorney
Glenn has been called upon by Attor
ney General Olney to bring an indict-
ment against the cigarette trust. We
are unable to ascertain the facts in
the case today, as Capt Glenn is out Of
the city. He will return tonight and
we will refer to the matter again Mon
day, with such details as may be OBJ
tainable.
BLOOD IN ITS EYE.
Whe learn that the American To-
bacco Company has blood in its eye
for two or three of Winston's cigarette
factories and is endeavoring to secure
an Injunction against them, upon the
ground that the machines used by
them is an Infringement upon the
Bonsack machine 1t seems that
nothing short of 'sthe earth and it
fenced in" will satisfy the American
Co. but we predict that they will
find they have struck a snag this time.
We learn. further, that two of our
manufacturers, Brown Bros. Tobacco
Co, and W. F. Smith & Sons Co have
been cited to appear at Charleston, S.
c.. on the 18th instant, to answer
certain affidavits.
Mr. Clement Manly and one member
Of the above named firms will leave

to all human feeling. The sufferings

| Glenn's Suit Against the Trust.
From Daily Sentinel Jan II,
| Messrs. Clement Manly and G. B.
| Watson, attorneys for the Brown
Bros. Tobacco Company and the w.
f. Smith s. Sons Company, accom-
| panied by Mr.. Sterling Smith, mem
Der of the latter firm, left at II o'clock
today for Charleston, S. c., where
they are to appear tomorrow before
Judge Simonton, of the United States
Circuit Court, and answer certain
attidayits relative to the cigarette
machines now used by the above
named firms.
1t appears that the object of the
American Tobacco Company is to
secure temporary injunction against
the Winston manufacturers and there
by close their factories from opera
tiOns. If they succeed in this the
trust will care nothing for trial in
the courts, just so long as the TEN.
perary injunction holds good.
SUIT AGAINST THE TRUST.

District Attorney Glenn is preparing

North Carolina as trust.
The New York World, Of Saturday,
contains an editorial on this subject,
in which it says that -'some time ago
United States District Attorney
Glenn, Of North Carolina, as we learn
from newspapers there, drew an in
dictment against the Cigarette Trust.
10 this he was doing d double public
duty. He was trying to enforce the
law against criminal conspiracy and
he was seeking to protect tue tobacco
growers and others against baleful
influence that has robbed them of a
competitive market tor their product.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Glenn
would have succeeded in his prosecu-
ton CT the conspiratOrs. The law is
plain, the facts are undisputed and a
North Carolina jury would have been

The World goes on to say that At
torney-General Obey interfered with
Mr.. Glenn's plans and has held up the
proceedings.

The Tobacco Journals Review for the
Week Ending Jan 12th.
The leaf market was somewhat
livelier the past week than the
week previous, despite almost contin-
uous bad weather. The rain and
cold, however, prevented full receipts,
which would otherwise been forth
coming. Wage ned tobaccos were in
greater supply. and had a good effect
on prices, which are again about the
same as before the holidays. All
goods are in demand, aud quality con-
sidered, are selling fairly we'll.
With single sales the breaks lasted
all day More and more manufacture
ers are on the breaks regularly, and
many of them are purchasing freely.
Wrappers continue to be much sought
after, and are taken at outside prices.
A good sized pile of fancy wrappers
sold Thursday for IS cents a pound.
The price was reached only once be-
fore this season, and then on {. small
lot.
There is nothing new or Of special
interest in manufactured tobacco
circles. Very little is being done just
new. Shipments are fair for the time
of the year.

Gabriers Trumpet.

A pamphlet has just been pub

Baxter, which was written with con-
siderable eruditlon, and is being wide

end of the world will occur on April

"From now until then" he says, 'we
will go through another fearful and
bitterly contested war, in 1897, which
all the great European nations will
participate in; in 1899 new Napoleon
will rise as king Of the Greek States
and Syrla; in 1904 a terrible earth
quake will shake the very foundations
of our planet.

IMMIGRANTS COMING.
LOCO Acres of Land Purchased ant

Ii ,O00 Acres of Land Purchased and
More Wanted.
From the Newbern Journal.
A company is now being organized
to bring a number of Long Island and
New James farmers to this section.
The company has already purchased
eleven thousand acres of land around
Newport, about midway between
Newbern and Morehead City and are
negotiating for other large tracts.
The company now has about three
hundred families ready to come. They
propose to cut up the land into thirty
acre lots and build a house, etc, on
each lot. This work will begin at
once. a large number of New York
capitalists have been enlisted in the
movement. Ore Of the parties to the
above has been for six or seven months
investigating the country from Vir-
GINA TO Georgia and has come to the
conclusion that this is the best coun-
try in America-the garden spot.
This movement is entirely distinct
and separate from any Of the immi4
grafton or colonization movements
that have heretofore been made pub
lie. The preliminary work has been
performed quietly and the point is at
hand when the results are TO show.
