ARE PREPARING TO FIGHT
HOSTING WORKS STRIKERS OR
GANIZED A COMPANY.
Four Companies of Militia Are ON
Duty, With IA Large Force
of Police.

Cleveland, Aug. "A startling piece OF
news in connection with the Brown strike,
which comes from an apparently reliable
source, is to the effect that the strikers
are arming themselves and drilling. 1t
was said today that 40 of the strikers had
organized a company last Saturday. elect
ed a captain and purchased revolvers.
The company drill was Saturday evening.
and 1t was announced that the purpose
of the men was TO avenge the death of
the two men who were shot at different
times in the conflicts between union and
non-union men.
James O'Connell, the head of the ma
chinists' union. who was here in charge
of the strike. and who helped to bring
about the settlement under which the
men returned to work came back to
Cleveland today. He was very much sur
prised and chagrigned to learn that the
men had struck a second time. He said
he believed the company had entered into
an agreement with the men in good
faith, and he was satisfied that the COM
pany intended to live up to its agree
ment in every respect.
Four companies of militia are on duty
at the works tonight and a large force
of police will be on hand in the morning
to guard against trouble when the nom
union men go to work.

THE DOVE OF PEACE IN SIGHT
stormy Day Followed by n Charcs
for Settlement.

Cleveland, Aug. 3.-The labor situation
in this city is again critical. One hundred
and fifty non-union men went to work at
the Brown hoisting works this morning,
guarded by four companies of militia
and a large force of police. A big crowd
of union men were present. but no out
break occurred. The police and soldiers
kept the strikers moving. The sympa-
thetic strike threatened ever since the
strike at the Brown companys works
began, eleven weeks ago, was inaugu-
rated this morning. Eighty-seven en-
ployes of the Van Wagner &c Williams
company, hardware manufacturers, laid
down their tools and walked out. They
said their only grievance was sympathy
with the Brown hosting companys men.
Committees were sent to other factories.

the non-unionists to give up their weap-
ons, by force II necessary.
Shortly before noon Director Of Police
Abbott ordered another company of mill

English Labor Reports show Great
Improvement for July.

London, Aug. 4.-The report of the labor
department of the government board of
trade for the month ending July Is dem
onstrates that, despite the croakers, hard
times across the water are rapidly becom-
ing thing of the past. and prosperous
conditions are prevailing in proportion.
An abstract of the report, which Is very
voluminous, shows that during the month
in question 1900 wage workers were az
fected by changes in rates of wages, in
which 10000 obtained increases and 1900
sustained decreases. The estimated cf-
feet of all the changes was an aggregate
advance OF about 20 cents on the dollar
in wages of the total number affected.
Five thousand iron and steel workers,
$4,000 mechanics in the engineering and
shipbuilding industries, 5000 workmen in
other branches of the metal trades, and
1000 building operators obtained increases.
The principal reductions affected 1000 blast
furnace men in the northwest of Eng
land The report goes on to say that in
most industries the state of employment
continues good, and that the percentage
OF unemployed in the various trade I'M
ions was but IL per cent as against Sc
per cent for the same period of last year.

NEW YORK NOT FRIGHTENED
Diamond Match Company VIII Go
Ahead with It's business.

> New York. AUG, The announcement
OF the failure in Chi cago of Moore Bros,
promoters of the Diamond Match Co..
and the New York Biscuit Company, re-
suited in the prevalence here today Of
all sorts of rumors concerning the effect
upon business al the New York Off ces
of the concern mentioned. Scores of per-
sons Interested IN the affairs of the D.a
mond Match Company visited the Off ces
of that company in Hudson street, of
which George Johnson is manager.
Johnson was not at his office today, hlV-
ing sent down word that he was sick.
Johnson's secretary said that because of
the Moore difficulty 1t does not follow
that failure would result in the discon-
tinuance of business of the concern.
Many others besides the Moores own
stocks said the secretary. and it will
certainly go ahead and fill its orders.
Beyond the mere announcement of the
failure of Moore Bros, Johnson has no
information. Until word has been receiv-
ed from the president of the company,
Barber, no official statement of just how
much stock of the company is involved
in the failure of Moore Bros. can be
made.
The following statement was given out
to the Associated Press at the office of
the New York Biscuit Company, this
city:
1.-THE failure of Moore Bros. will in no
manner affect the business of the New
York Biscuit Company. The fact that
William II. Moore of Moore Bros. is pres
ident of the company is no reason why
we should be affected in the least. We
Save heard of the failure and that's
about all. The stock company is well
protected. 1t is very likely when full
information is received from Chicago it
will be found that the affairs of Moore
Bros will be all settled within a short
time. Whether they are or not the bust
ness here will go on just the same as il
Moore Bros We're perfectly solvent. VIII

pany, is not in New York city today, al

George b. Johnson manager of the New
York branch of the Diamond Match
Company, is also treasurer of the New
York Biscuit Company"
A Rivals Opinion.
Edwin Gould. president of the CONT
mental Match Company. said today:
MY opinion is that the Moore failure
will be a severe blow to the Diamond
Match Company, as Moore was the prin-
cipal hacker of the stocks on the Chi
cago market, and although the stock s
prices don't always reflect conditions. yet
the very high price at which he kept
Diamond Match stocks undoubtedly gave
great prestige to the company in a bust

the public has been misled in the value

Gould expressed sympathy for Judge
Moore and the stockholders.

RECEIVER FOR A LEADvILLE NINE
Work VIII Continue Under Dfrec-
ton OF the Court.

Leadville, Colo, Aug. 1.-The Weldon
mine, which was recently seixed by Peter
w. Breene, who has been working 1t
ever since, will be placed in the hands
or a receiver tomorrow. AS soon as
Breene seized 1t. the Denver people, who
own eleven-twelfths OF the mine, began
suit to wrest the property from Breene
and secured an order from Judge Ow-
ers of the district court, restraining
Breene from shipping and selling ore,
and from settling for ore already shipped
by him.
When the plaintiff called up the ques-
ton of appointing a receiver today, the
defense objected on the ground that
Breene feared the receiver would not
work the mine, but upon being assured
by the court that the mine would be
worked. the objection was withdrawn.
Both sides then prepared list OF names
for the position, but as they could not
agree upon any one man, the Judge an
nounced that he would appoint a receiver
tomorrow morning.

PARsoN WILL HEAD THE TICKET
POpuIists of Georgia to Fuse with
the PrOhibitfOnists.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 4.-The populists at
the state convention on Thursday pro-
pose to call upon the national committee
to put out a straight populist candidate
for president. On state questions the
platform will declare for a free ballot,
an honest count and state dispensary
law. The nomination of a full ticket for
state officers, to be headed in all proba-
bility by Rev. ]. b. Gambrell, ex-presi-
dent of the Mercer university at Macon,
seems to be assured. This combination
of populists and prohibitionist strength
would be formidable, and the democratic
managers do not conceal the fact that
it would make the fight a close one.

pany has been organized with Judge
Moore at the head. IL always

five quarters up to July l. last. we failed

clared a dividend at the rate of 6 per

1t is stated that New York banks hold
practically no paper of Moore Bros. or
the Diamond Match and Biscuit Com
pany. Moore Bros paper is largely held
in Providence, Boston and New Eng
land generally. The firm was estimated
10 be worth about 81, 900, 900 in 1895. Loans
on Diamond Match have been made at
par. The impression prevailed that the
stock may go somewhere near that fig

loans will have to be lquidated sooner

Have you sprained your ankler" and
lastly the insane request to know
whether you can fall down a fight of
30 steps or from piazza 10 feet above
ground and not be damaged any more
than IL you had thrown yourself ON

OF course you are hurt. and the nerve

Rod Turtles In a Boiling Spring.

That portion of southern or lower
California called Hell's Half Acre
appears to be situated directly over a
substratum of fire, which causes the
mud and water to boil as if in a cal
dron. At one place ON the Half Acre
there are over 100 boiling springs and
hot mud geysers ON a plat Of ground
that is not Of greater extent than conf
mon city square. The chief spring in
this queer aggregation Of boiling and
sponting jets Of mud and water is called
the Fountain Of the Boiled Turtles
ON account of it's curious habit of occa-
sionally ejecting numbers Of small red
turtles. The temperature of this spring
is 220 degrees, IA degrees higher than
the temperature required to boil water
under ordinary atmospheric pressure.
Notwithstanding the fact that the tenn
perature Is sufficient to boil meat per-
feotly within few minutes, the small
red turtles spoken of live and breed
there just as the ordinary variety does
