Columbus. o., July 14.--When asked
In reference to the proposed action Of
the officials OF the Wheeling and Lake
Erie railroad in enjoining the miners
from interfering with the operation of
their mines President Ratchford said.
IF Il is lawful for men to cease work
and strike against insufficient wages
to support them we have violated no
law; if It is not lawful we plead guilty.
We do not fear to advise men to strike
so long as they do so along lawful
lines, and therefore we have no fear
of the proposed injunction"
President Ratchford said he was con-
Edent of bringing out the West Vir-
ginia miners. A telegram was received
from Grand Master Workman Sover-
eign, of the Knights Of Labor, Offering
his personal services. Eugene V. Debs
will arrive here today to consult with
President Ratchford.
A special from Bellaire, o., says: The
miners in Schicks mines, on the Bal
timore and Ohio road, were yesterday
persuaded to stop work. and with the
closing Of these mines all the miners
in eastern Ohio are closed.

BY A HORSE
An Accident That Aroused Mahanoy City
People Last Night.
THE VICTIM WILL PROBABLY Die
A Mans Thoughtless Act Causes Horse
TO Run Away and in Jumping to
Pavement the Horse Ran Down
and Dangerously In
jured a Child

opetihl 10 EVENING HERALD
MAHANoY CITY, July 14.-No little ex-
citement was occasioned here last night by
serious accident resulting from the thought
less act of an unknown man. and which in
all probability will result in the death Of
child.
John Butio, boy, was taking two horses to
their stable. He rode on the back Of
one and led the other with the bride
strap. As he turned corner two
Polish men were obliged to stop ON the
crossing. One of the men struck the hind
horse on the flank with a piece Of broom
stick, causing the animal to take fright ana
dash away. As it went along West Pine
street at a mad pace the horse left the street
and ran upon the sidewalk where Harry, the
five-year-old son Of George b. Yieugst, was
playing. The child was run down by the
horse and terribly injured. Several people
hurried TO the assistance of the victim while
others turned their attention to the horse and
got it under control before it did any further
damage.
When the injured child was picked up it
was unconscious and blood flowed profusely
from several ugly wounds. The childs
body was trampled, which caused fracture
Of three ribs and severe injuries to the
stomach. There was also a cut several
inches long on the head Owing to the
nature of the injuries and the enfeebled
condition of the child on account Of re-
cent illness, it is feared that the result will
be fatal.
At first there was intense feeling against
the boy who had charge Of the horses. but
when he and others explained how the run
away was started there was a hurried search
for the Polander who struck the horse. He
could not be found Had he been located
the crowd would have undoubtedly handled
him roughly. Efforts are being made to put
him under arrest.

EARLY MORNING ALARM.
Lime starts Fire in a Lumber Yard
Little Damage.

At FIVE minutes after three o'clock this
morning Polish people residing on the West
side Of Bowers street, just north Of Lloyd
ran to the house of w. II Glenn. the manager
for the Shenandoah Lumber & Feed Com
pany, and told him that there was a fire in
that part Of the cOmpany's lumber yard op-
posite their homes. Mr.. Glenn hurried to
box No. 10, at the corner Of Bowers and
Coal streets, and sent in an alarm The whole
town seemed TO be wrapped in deep slumber
and but few of the firemen responded to the
alarm, Upon arrival at the lumber yard it
was found that large storage of new shingles
close to lime dump had been ignited. Two
streams of water were put at work and the
fire extinguished in few minutes. Little
damage was done It was thought by some
that a spark from a locomotive had started
the fire, but it was evidently the lime that
caused the trouble. Fire was started by the
lime dump once before.
