this morning. Three men raped at the
door of the depot, but as they gave no salts
faction as to the purpose of their visit the
watchman, George McGee, young man %
years of age, refused to admit them. The
visitors picked up an old railroad sill lying
near by and rammed in the door. MeGee
was unarmed. The men sprang upon him
ferociously. He says he was choked into in
sensibility and displays a bruised eye as an
evidence of the struggle The thieves Sc
cured about ninety dollars from a drawer in
the office The receipts at the depot were
large yesterday in consequence of a funeral.

He says he was attacked in darkness. The
depot is located close to the Lost Creek store
where a night watchman is employed An
other watchman is employed to watch for
cave-ins along the railroad. He was some

LOOKS LIKE A STRIKE.
The Joint Committee Fails to Agree and
Are Discharged.

Special to EVENING HERALD
PITTsBURG, Dec. 1.-THE fourth days
session of the joint committee of the coal
operators and miners adjourned to-day and
reported that they were unable to agree upon
a rate, and were discharged,
As result the employers and their en-
ployes are still further apart, and strike
will surely follow
The miuers made demand for 70 cents
per ton and refused to recede The operators
are equally determined and stood by their
offer of go cents ton. When told by the
operators that a strike meant continued suf-
fering, the miners say that their condition
could not be worse than at present.
Nothing can now prevent long conflict,
except the concessions on the part of the
operators, which is not all likely.
