brilliant Tube Works Assigns Owing tt
Internal Disse ensions.

WHEELING, Aug. 5.-lt was a great
surprise in business circles TO learn that
the Brilliant Pipe and Tube Works
company of Brilliant, o., 20 miles
above Wheeling. had made an assign
meut and Joan S. McMasters was made
assignee
This firm was looked on as being one
of the most solid in the valley, as the
officers and directors We're experienced
and wealthy, and they would have made
the plant success if internal dissen-
sions among the stockholders had not
arisen as to the policy.
The Pittsburg stockholders, Messrs.
Jos. r. Jackson and Thomas Hackett,
and the Weeling stockholders were at
loggerheads over the question whether
the tube works should be built and other
matters For some days iron and scraI
have been shipped away to pay off the
general creditors, and on Monday some
excitement was caused at Brilliant by
the citizens seeing barge load OF pig
iron and some rolls which We're taken
ont of the mill and placed in heal
labelled .lThis is the property of the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company"
The miners We're taken ont after go
ing TO work and the mules taken out
The deed of assignment includes th'
personal and real property and machin
cry and all privileges of the company

ord-red-A Lively Fusiiiade of Bullets
FolIowed-Roth sides Armed.

CLEVELAND. Aug 5.-Shooting by
soldiers and rioters marked the opening
of another day in the vicinity of the
Brown Hosting works
Two men stopped in front of Mrs
Lind's boardinghouse, few squares
from the Brown Hosting works, where
a man named Gettner, who is employed
AT the works boards. The two men
yelled for the ''scab" to come out and
then they began TO throw stones at the
house.
Presently one of the men fired at the
door. the bullet passing through the
panel and entering the house-
The noise attracted rhe militia and a
detachment of Company A men We're
ordered to the scene on the double
Quick AS the soldiers turned neigh
boring corner. the two men started to
run. The lieutenant i'll charge shouted ::
Halt"
The pursued men paid no attention TO
the order and the soldiers began firing
at them They returned the fire and
for a few moments there was Il lively
fusillade.
One of the men suddenly made Il cry
and was heard 10 grOan. \ moment
later, however, both had disappeared IN
the darkness.
The affair caused the utmost excite
ment i'll the neighborhood for time
The bullets struck several houses. Two
went clean through the side of gro
cery store.
The soldiers and others believe that
the two men had planned to blow up
Mrs Lind's house.
About 100 uon-union men went TO
work ut the Brown works this morning
under guard of large force of militia
and police. An enormous crowd OF
strikers and their sympathiZers We're
present, but no trouble occurred
On every street within a radius of
nearly a mile of the plant, both soldiers
and lOckedOut men patrolled the side
walks Many of the soldiers Were
doubly armed, wearing belts and re-
vOlvers as well as carrying guns. a
number of the strikers also carried
guns.
At IA meeting of the executive com
mittee of the lockedout Brown Hosting
works men this morning 1T was decided
unanimously TO ask the Central Labor
union ar its meeting this evening To de-
clare a sympathetic strike. If this IL
done it will call out probably from l5.-
900 to 20, 600 men.
1t is not likely that a sympathetic
strike Will be ordered. Eight of Il e
leaders of the Central Labor union, all
representing different trades, We're in
terviewed, and all but two of them ex
pressed themselves as opposed TO such a
strike, declaring that it would be un-
wise and could not benefit the Brown
strikers. The question will probably
be decided at the meeting of the Central
Labor union tonight.

FUSION CERTAIN IN KANSAS.
The Election In Alabama Decided the
Matter.


ABILENE, Kan, Aug. 5.-The news
that the Democrats carried Alabama by
a sweeping majority has strengthened
the position of advocates of Sewal cleo
tors By many of the delegates to the
Populist state con vention, which meets
here today, 1t is accepted as significant
that the POpulists of the south, even
with Republican fusion, are not capable
of turning down the Democratic elect
OrS This feeling may spread and have
much to do in deciding the question of
fusion with the Democrats.
1t is agreed that the first work of the
convention will he the appointment of
a committee to confer on the question of
fusion with like committee from the
Democratic convention.
Next to the question of electors, the
most troublesome problem to be solved
is that of giving representation on the
state ticket to free silver Republicans.
The only Republican mentioned for
place is Z. C.. Little of Abilene, who
aspires TO be cOngressman-at large. He
is supported by a strong following OF
free silver Republicans.
a Hutchinson special SAYS: The
Democratic convention decided to give
the Populists the full state ticket, f
they would endorse the Democr attic
presidential electors.

ATLANTA, Aug. 5.-Statements made
by the leaders of the Peoples party
who are assembled here for the state
convention tomorrow show that Senator
Johnes' interview, which the southern
Populists consider reputation or
themselves, has completely changed the
situation The Peoples party leaders
now here say that the state convention

Watson's 5 nomination, but VIII call Tor
the nomination of state Popullst III
place of Bryan. Hon Charles Nc
Gregor, business manager of Tom Wat
sons Peoples party paper, said
Il am convinced that the national
committee will be called upon to put
out straight Populist candidate for
president. and as the understanding
seems to be that Norton has the first
call for the nomination, L suppose the
ticket will be Norton and Watson.

statehouse officers, TO be headed, III all

grant naturalization papers to two

who is in ignorance of the constitution

The young men explained that they had
come To this country before reaching
their majority and that they have ever

by the judge they confessed that they
do not understand the constitution. and
We're even doubtful as to the form of

Judge Cole thereupon decided them
TO be ineligible to citizenship and re-

that they could not swear to support
