EXCITEMENT AMONG STRIKING

One Conflict Between workers and
Observation-Disclosures In the sit
nation Being Watched with Great
Interest.

Religious services were held IN the
strikers several camps on Sunday and
all were largely attended, but not
withstanding the religious air pervad-
ing the campo, conflict between
workers and strikers took place in the
afternoon. during which three strih-
ers were badly hurt, out none are IN ID
serious condition. Five of the men
who are working for the New Yor& X
Cleveland Coal Gas Co went to VIM.
Seamon's boarding. house, about one
half mile from Oakland Triple, where
a number of strikers are quartered,
for the purpose of persuading the
strikers to go 10 work. The meeting
was stormy one and resulted in An
tonic Podasky being shot near the
heart, the bullet going almost through
his body. Grongron Pimold was shot
in the eye and Botiste Dalmeso
was cut with n razor. The injured
men are all strikers. This was the
only disturbance recorded at the camps
on Sunday. The aggressive workmen
escaped before the men on the Oakhill
camp were aware of the firht.

STRIKERS MUST NOT MARCH.
Permanent Injunction Restraining Them
The strike Nearing u Crisis.

The hearing in the injunction case
straining the strikers from marching
or camping near DeArmit's mines was
perhaps one of the most important i'm
portant and interesting ever held in
a Pennsylvania court and the decision
making the injunction permanent one
is expected to have telling effect on
the conduct of the great coal miners
strike. Before the decision had been
given by the court Judge Collier said
in open court that the strike would go
down in history as one of the wonders
of the century and remarkable on ac-
count of the utter lack of disorder for
which the strikers are commended and
have the sympathy OF the court
The effect of the injunction upon the
strikers in She camps was rather dis
heartening. Several hundred left for
their homes. A new plan of marching
i'm pairs 100 yards apart was attempted,
but the depudes turned them back.
The famers of the vicinity sympathize
heartily with the strikers and besides
furnishing several wagonloads of pro-
visions planned To march to the Plum
Creek and Turtle Creek mines and
make Speeches to the men still at work.
The class of men who will compose the
parades have no fear OF interference
and will not disband at the command
of few deputies.
The plan OF having the women take
the places of the men in the marches
was put in force and about $50
of them marched to Camp Victory,
near Cauons5urg. Headed by IA band
the women marched to the mine Of
Cook & Sons, where operations are still
being carried on and about 30 of these
miners joined the strikers.
The question of right of strikers to
visit employees of the mines is to be
tested in the courts

CoNSTANTINOPL IN TERROR.
Bombs Exploded near the Sultan's Palac.
Bombs Exploded In Paris Also.

Constautinople: The city was thrown
into state of panic by the news OF
bomb explosions, attempted or accom-
plished at three different points. The
explosions are attributed to the Ar
menians. The first bomb was thrown
just outside the police headquarters in
the Pera district. 1t failed to explode.
Almost at the same moment an Armen-
ian was arrested at the imperial Otto
man bank, in the Galata district, while
carrying package of explosives which
he was trying to ignite. Another
bomb was exploded in n private road
between the vizierate offices of the
grand vizier) and the state council
house. One man was killed and sew
eral others were severely injured. 1t
is rumored that n similar outrage was
attempted within the palace limits.
The most abiect terror prevails in the
precincts of the palace. In many parts
of the city all the shops were closed,
and it was necessary to call out the en-
tire police force and military before
anything like calm was restored.
Attempt to XIII President Faure.
Paris: The departure of President
Faure. of France, on his visit to the

American Bankers Meet at Detroit.

Probably the largest convent ton of
the American Bankers association was
that just held at Detroit. The fact
that it was held in Detroit had a great
deal to do with the large attendance
and the numerous bankers who came
to see pretty city were not disap-
pointed President Il. j. Lowry pre-
sided at the meetings and secretary j.
Il. Branch made the minutes. The
words of welcome by Mayor Maybury,
who preceded Gov. Pingree, the adj
dress by the governor and his reference
to corporations and his advocacy of
bimetallism by internatlona. agree
ment and of tax on gold used in the
arts, with the cordial words of well
come from George H. Russell, and his
reply to Gov. Pingree's remarks, gave
a zest to- the proceedings that were
greatly relished. The prosperous con-
dition of the ASSOCIATION was shown in
all of the reports, and the report of the
protective committee, with regard to
the prosecution of bank robbers and
swindlers, was of most gratifying
character to the bankers, and the ref
erence TO the likelihood of burglars
adopting electricity as means of loot
ing banks was an eye-opener to many
banker present.
The roll of the American Bankers
ASSOCIATION now embraces 2,S07 MEM
bers, including 1,453 national banks,
$50 state banks, 247 savings banks, 1872
trust companies. and 225 private bank
