SHOT A MOLpER.

Renewal OF Labor Troubles at the Brown
Hosting Co.'s Plant In Cleveland 10 Fol-
lowed By lIioodshed.
CLEyELAND,. Aug. 8-The reopening
Of the strike at the plant of the Brown
Hoisting and Conveying Machine Co
was marked by bloodshed and the stu
alton is very critical. Early Saturday
morning q large mob appeared before
the home Of John Schneider, 1890 st.
Clair street, and stoned the dwelling
with bricks, paving stones and other
missiles The house now looks as II 1t
had PASSED through . cyclone. The
occupants managed to escape without
injury.
Towards noon large reinforcements
of police arrived At the Brown works
and the non-union men employed by
the firm fled out of the works. A num-
Der OF the non-unionists passed down
Payne avenue toward the Cleveland &
Pittsburg railway crossing and just as
the crossing was reached a number Of
stones were thrown by parties hidden
behind high board fence at the side
Of the street. One or two men were
struck by the flying missiles and they
at once drew revolvers and fred John
Prinz, a union molder who was going
along Payne avenue, was shot, the
bullet entering the left side near the
heart He was removed to St. Clair
street hospital, where 1t is said his
chances of recovery are slim. Prinz is
married and has two children.
Before any policemen could arrive
the non-unionists fed. Col Kennan,
of the Fifth regiment, O. N. G., was re-
quested to seAd 195 militiamen to the
works and the request was complied
with Prinz was never an empleye of
the Brown Co aud the shooting has
ca9sed the utmost indignation among
wOrkiugmen. 1t is believed that the
STRIKERS will have'nothiRg more to do
vita the state board Of arbitration.
AT "a meeting Of representatives OF
the labor unions of the city last night
1t wasa determined to urge upon the
Centrai Labor union, at its meeting
next "Wednesday night, the calling
OF sympathetic strike on account OF
the Arown Hosting trouble. As the
unions represented and those that have
already expressed opinions in favor Of
such . course constitute large ma
jority Of the unions represented in the
Central Labor Union, q general sympa-
thetic strike is almost a certainty. The
plan is to first call out all the iron
workers whonumber about IS, 900, and
II necessary every union man in the
city, will be called out later More
troops will. likely, be ordered out to-
day. Many union men are arming
themselves.

he threw himself from . window and

A Tidal Wave Brings Death and Ruin 70
Thousands of Chinese.

Thousands of Chinese.
SHANGHAI, Aug. S.-The recent dis
astrous tidal wave along the coast Of
northern Japan has been paralleled by
a similar phenomenon on the coast of
Haichau, northeast of the province Of
Kiangsu, in which Shanghai is situ-
ated. The news of the disaster did
not reach here before Saturday, owing
to the lack of facilities for communica-
tion with the part Of the country dew
astated. On July 26 there suddenly
appeared in the Yellow sea a huge
bank Of water that rushed shoreward
with terrific velocity. The wave was
five miles wide. Thousands Of tons Of
water were thrown for miles inland
and everything in its path was swept
away. Many villages were entirely
destroyed and it is estimated 1000 peo-
pie perished. All the cattle were
drowned and the rice fields were oblit-
Grated. 1t is expected that the surviv-
ors will meet with worse fate than
death by drowning, for with the de-
.struction Of the rice fields famine will
stare them in the face in the autumn.

Mrs. Radford's Fatal Relapse.

A telegram was received Sunday
from Cincinnati stating that Mrs.
Mollie S. Radford was growing
rapidly worse and that her death was
near at hand. Her son Walter left
Sunday night and James started yes
terday morning for Cincinnati. Her
second son, Cyrus, was married last
week and is probably with his mother,
as he intended to stop to see her on
his way to the South. The young
ladies, Misses Mary and Willie, are
also with their mother.
Mrs. Radford went to Cincinnati
some weeks ago and submitted to a
delicate and dangerous operation,
hoping to improve her health, which
has been very poor for several years.
She has been quite i'll since, but was
thought to be improving when the
relapse occurred. At the hour of go
ing to press no later news than Sun
days telegram had been received
from her.

A telegram was received from
Frankfort yesterday afternoon saying
that the Governor had nominated A..
Il. Anderson to be Steward of the
Western Asylum.
The Governor did not appoint
another negro, as it is not at all like
ly that he wanted Postell confirmed
in the first place. He was simply
making a grand stand play to satisfy
the darkeys. The appointment was
referred to the Judiciary Complete.
Postell wired his father that he did
not agree to the appointment.
Posteli's friends here/are arrang-
ing to fight the nomiRation. Editor
Edmonson wired the Governor that
court records could be sent and the
Governor answered to give them by
