TROOPS ASKED FOR,
Striking Quarrymen Fight to Cain
Possession of Quarries,

WEST VIEW, Ohio, July lover one
hundred shots were exchanged by deputy
sheriffs and strikers this morning at the
Berea stone Quarries. No one was killed, so
far as now known. One striker had his left
leg broken in two places, and many have
sore heads as the result Of a hand to-hand
conflict.
The strikers approached the quarres
through the woods with the avowed inten-
ton of driving out the non-union men at
work. They were met by the sheriff and
forty deputies. who commanded them to
stop. For an answer the strikers began
firing and the fight then became general.
For few moments the strikers were re-
pulsed. and fell back to the woods. The
men in the quarries are quitting for fear
and by The opportunities of their wives.
1t is believed that the strikers will shortly
make another dash for the quarries, and
If such should prove the case, serious
trouble will follow.
CLEV VELAND, Ohio, July 1.-At noon to-
day fifty additional deputy sheriffs were
sworn in and started from this city for the
scene Of this mornings conflict between
officers and strikers at the stone Quarries
near West View.
Sheriff Leek this afternoon telegraphed
Gov. Bushnell at Columbus that he was
unable to hold in check the striking stone
quarrymen at Berea, and asked that four
companies of militia be ordered to his as
SIStance at once.

LEONARD ExONERATED
The Warden Acquitted of the Charges
Against Him.
Report of the Investigating Judges-
The Good Condition of
the Jail.

The members of the Supreme Court Of the
District this afternoon made public their
decision in the matter of the charges of
mismanagem preferred several weeks
ago against Warden John r. Leonard of
the District jail by Raymond X. Cook, and,
as was intlmated in The Star several days
ago would be the case the charges were
dismissed, the warden being fully exoner-
ated.
The report. signed by Judge Hagner. on
behalf of himself and Judges Cox, Nc
Comas and Cole, the judges making the
investigation, was as follows:
1.-THE charges presented by Mr.. r. X.
Cock against the warden Of the jail. of
neglect, mismanagement and misconduct,
have received the careful consideration of
the justices Of the General Term.
These complaints were accompanied by
sundry ex parte statements and afIidavits.
made. with two exceptions, by former
prisoners and discharged employees Of the
Jail.
"A careful examination Of all parts of
the institution was made by members Of
the court. without any previous notifica-
ton to the warden or any Ot the attend
ants. Its condition was found to be ex-
cellent, and the food Zone meal of which
was being served at the time) was of sat
isfactory character. All the prisoners
confined there whose names were involved
in any way by the charges were examined
apart from the officials, and were given
full opportunity to make known any com
plants they might have against the man
agement or officers in any particular.
subsequently examinations OF witnesses
under oath were made, at which Mr.. Cook
was present by invitation. He was kim
self examined. and witnesses named by
him, who were produced under the order
of the justices, were examined by him on
each occasion, and the large number pro-
duced by the warden were offered for his
cross-examnaton. Every officer Of the
jail. except the warden's son and another
who was absent at the time, made oath
to the falsity of the charges.
"A careful investigation has satisfied
the justices that the complaints made are
unfounded, and feeling that the warden is
entitled to a public eXoneration from the
charges the present report Is ordered to
be entered upon the minutes of the Court
in General Term"

ching Real Estnte.
Attachments on Judgment for 1910, l34 p
with interest and costs, nave been served
on the real estate in this city owned by
Mr.. Stilson Hutchins. including Convention
action is the latest move In the famous
law suit of Augustin J. Amber agains t
Rodney NJ Whpple and Thomas S. Dicker-
son. which has occupied the attention of
the Supreme Court Of the District Of Co
lumbia and the Supreme Court OF the Unit
ed States almost continuously for the past
twenty-six years. The suit was filed Janu-
ary 4. 1870, and among the attorneys who
have figured prominently in the controversy
was Benjamin F. Butler.
The story is to the effect that Mr. Au-
gustin j. Amber invented 4 furnace for
smelling iron by the use of kerosene, and
that alleged unlawful use OF the patents
thereon was made by the defendants
named. A company was organized here
for the purpose Of putting the furnace on
the market, it was claimed. and conducted
ir: manner that resulted in financial loss
to Mr.. Amber. He entered suit and re-
covered judgment and April last Mr..
Amber filed petition, asking that Mr.
Hutchfns be named as one of the parties
Of the suit, he being connected with the
local company that handled the furnaces.
An injunction restraining the defendants
from making use of the invention was
granted July 6, 1870. but was dissolved
September 10 following. A decree was
signed June II, 1880. directing that s677,-
E4.21 be paid Mr.. Amber, and May 20,
1880, judgment for 1910, ,534 Il was secured.
1t seems that Mr.. Amber has repeatedly
endeavored to recover on the Judgment, but
was never successful The latest step was
the issuing of the attachments against Mr..
Hutchins. The latter, it is understood,
sailed for Europe Saturday last.

LEBANON, Mo-, July 1-Richard Parks
Bland, Missouri's candidate for President,
has returned from a conference at st.
Louis with those who are working in his
interest.
Il do not know that I can add much to
my previous expressions on the subject Of
silver" he said. 1T is generally known that
l urgently favor the restoration of silver
a metal, and advocate its free, unlimited
and unrestricted coinage at a ratio of 16 to
I, to be maintained in all respects at
mutual parity with gold.
Il think the immediate effect of this
change would be to improve the industrial
ard commercial condition of the country.
1 thoroughly believe that the restoration of
free coinage would be the salvation Of this
nation. If the United States were to open
their mints to the free and unlimited coin
age of silver. 1 think other leading nations
will promptly follow the example.
"'In ease The other nations of the world
did not follow this example. and the United
States had to maintain the free coinage of
silver alone. 1 believe no i'll effect would he
experienced in the financial centers. My
idea is that the restoration of free coinage
would mean the awakening of trade and
allied intei ests. and that prosperity would
have ul interrupted progress.
THE feeling is all one way The silver
idea will dominate the democratic conven-
ton, and the silver candidates will be VIC
tCrioLs in next falls election"

THE SILL YER MAN ELECTED.

Grand Forks, April Z, 1896.
Editor Representative:
In the city election held here Monday
there was only one silver man run
against the Republican ticket-F. H. Nc
Dermott for municipal judge, an Office
with salary of $4,000 a year, and he
was elected by 176 majority. He formed
the silver party this winter and signed
the pledge to quit the old parties. This
fact was urged against him in the cam
paign by his opponent, who is pro-
nounced gold standard man and a very
popular and worthy man. Two years ago
the silver people were less than one-fifth
of the voters of this city. Yours,
w. H. Standish.
Lieut.. Gov. Standish's report of the
Grand Forks election agrees with the re-
ports from Fargo, Moorhead, Minot,
Jamestown, Duluth and many other
Northwestern cities, where the cham
rions of Peoples Party principles were
victorious. 1t appears that in Grand
Forks, as in many other cities, the mem
bers of the bench are strong free coinage
men. The pioneer free coinage champion
Of Duluth was Judge Stearns. In Mime
apolis, Judge Vanderburgh and Judge
Rea are among the heavy-weights in the
cause, while in national lines Judge
Gresham, Judge Cole, Judge Trumbull,
and Judge Caldwell are among the cham
pions of free coinage and honest money.
