vted by her to do so, and when she
lures him into danger. she Is the one
who ought to suffer, not the natural

his victim was not killed, instead of be-

through the head on q Chesapeake and

REFERRING to the proposed invita-
ton of the "business men" and the City
Council of Richmond to the G. A.. R., to
hold its annual reunion in the city that
was the capital of the Confederate
States, the New York Sun says: mo
one eau miss the significance of the in
vitation." No, its Significance is 90
plain that all who run may read, even
Northern men. Indeed, it has BET
publicly stated in Richmond that the in
yitation is matter of business, and in
tended to bring money to that city. SO
great is the change that has taken place
in Richmond since the war, that sen
ment has no chance there when it is op
posed by desire for money. In the
earlier and better days of Virginia s
capital it was just the reverse.

The Strike.


PITTsBURG, Pa, Aug. 12.-The strik-
ing miners at Cannonsburg have de.
termined to force the injunction issued
by continuing the daily marches and
meetings in the neighborhood OF the
mines in spite of the order Of Judge
McIlwaine, forbidding marches on the
public roads leading to the mines. The
purpose is to test the legality OF the in
junction.
There is no change in the price of
coal from the figures of the last two
days. The supply is said to have in
creased and the West Virginians are
selling down to prices which approach
those in effect before the strike began.
CLEVELAND, o., Aug. ia special
from Wheeling says: At 2:30 o'clock
this morning $50 strikers from Ohio
marched through Wheeling to the Riv-
erside and Elm Grove mines, where
they joined the 500 Moundsville, Glen
dale and Boggs Run miners, who have
been on guard all night. 1t took only
few minutes persuasion to close these
two pits, and the whole Panhandle dis
trict is now idle except few small
peddling mines that supply purely local
household demands. This mornings
reports show less strength in the Ka-
nawha Valley strike. More men have
gone to work on both sides of the river.
At Fsirmont there is more listlessness
than has been seen for several weeks.
PrrTsBURG, Pa, Aug. 12.-The
much-talked- of bill for an injunction
against the United Mine Workers that

York and Cleveland Gas Coal Com.
papy. Judge Collier granted pre-.
lmiuary injunction restraining order
and enjoinlng the defendants from as
sembling, marching or encamping in
proximity to the mines and houses of
the miners for the purpose, by intimida-
ton, menaces threats and opprobious
words, of preventing the minersiof the
plaintiff from working. 1t further re-
strains the defendants from inducing or
compelling any employee or miner to
quit work. A hearing was fixed for
August 16. President Dolan expressed
surprise when informed that it had
bt en- granted aud added ut will
make no difference to us. We will not
break camp and will go right along as
usual until the matter is tested in the
courts. We will stay there regardless
of every judge in Allegheny county,
and if they try to enforce the injunc-
ton they will have to build more jails

COL. EAsTdAM's CAsE.-Yesterday

Circuit Court convened at Parsons. af-
ter adjournlng over from Satt rday.
The court, Judge Holt, having been
served with the writ of prohibition in
the Eastman case granted by Judge
Dent, of the Supreme Court of Appeals
of West Virginia. refused to act further
in the case, although the lawyers for
the defense asked him to sign bills Of
exceptions and enter certain orders cor.
recting those previously entered in said
case, which the defense claimed were
Ia part erroneous. Judge Holt refused
these requests, stating to Mr.. Daley,
who had made them, that the defense
you'd certainly not try to beguile the
court into entering any order in the
case when the counsel for the defense
had secured q writ prohibiting him
from acting further in the case until
the matter GOULD be determined by the
Supreme Court in September. The at.
torneys for Col. Eastman have not as
vet applied for q writ of habeas cor
pus for his release on bail, inasmuch as
the indictment for murder had been
fund before the writ of of prohibition
had been issued. The release of COL
Eastman on bail is hardly probable, as
a prisoner cannot be released on bail
after indictment for murder. Marshall
