Ing campers at Plum Greek and Turtle
B Greek marched again after the pro-
h gramme, arranged In couples, 40 feet
X apart. The deputies formed line
across the road, and warned them back
as each pair came up. Each side want
cd the other to take the aggressive, but
both factions were wary and neither
advanced beyond a certain point. The
strikers then returned to camp, but q
few of them later managed to escape
the deputies and got among some Of
the miners in the company's houses,
doing considerable missionary work. 1t
was decided to march again .to-mor-i
row, but. 1t Is doubtful II they win
have any better success than they had
to-day. The deputies have been grad
sually closing in on the camps. and will
continue to do so, 1t is said, until the
men will not be allowed to leave the
camp. This would virtually place them
under arrest. The women are doing
good missionary work, although they
did not march as anticipated. They are
still making It as uncomfortable for
the working miners and deputies as
they know how. II the attempt to pass
the deputies is successful, in the morn
ing, the women will Join the ranks on
Saturday.
The farmers from the surrounding
country have contributed large dona-
tions of provisions and garden truck to
the campers. The reduction in the
canlp force has given q new lease Of
4 life to the food supply, and 1t will last
for some days to come in the present
state.
The officials of the New York 4
Cleveland Gas Coal company were ju-
bilant, and say IL their men are left
alone the mines will be soon in full
operation. Supt. De Armit would not
say how much the output was increas-
Ing, but said it was substantial. Eight
cars of lump and slack coal were
mined at Plum Creek and about u
cars ut Turtle Greek.

forts, the Pardee mines in the Mercer

over 100 men, and have a daily capac-

A New Way to Cure Tocacco.

DR.. r N Norment told the Rob
esonian man good story Saturday
afternoon about new method of cur
ing tobacco. Last year white man
and negro raised crop Of tobacco
jointly. When the week was ripe
the white man cut his part first and
put it In the barn, to cure it. BE
cured by the latest and most approved
methods, havipg,a "a thermometerin the
barn by which to test the temperature
and keep it right While the tobac-
co was being cured the colored man
was an interested spectator of the
proceedings and closely watched ev-
ery.hing He saw the white man
go into the barn and consult his ther
mometer and saw him take out or add
to the wood in the furnace as the case
might be In due time the tobacco
was cured aud taken away and the
negro brought in iscrop. The tber-
mometer had been removed By the
white man. but this did not at all
frighten or discourage the darkey
He bad only gotten glimpse of it
once in while and came TO the con-
clnsion that it was only pair of draw
balances. With this belief in mind
he procured other balances aud hung
them mn wnere the thermometer
was before. This done the fres were
started aud the curing began Re-
membering what he had seen the
white man do the dalkey did like,
wise. He wentiinside the barn aud
consulted his balances to ascertain the
temperature. added to or decreased
the quantity of wood as he thought
necessary aud did everything else
Just as he had seen it done. Every
thing went off all right and his to
bacco was finally taken away cured.
Latter, on both men brought their to-
bacco to marktet and sold it. That
of the white man. cured by the regu
lation process, brought 8 cents a
pouad, while that Of the ds,key sold
for % cents a pound.

SEVEN YOUNG FIENDs
EXECUTED IN TEXAS.

Houston, Tex, April 80 For
burning an old man, child and a
young woman. criminal assault
upon two girls and the burning of
the homes of the victims, seven
young negroes were last night sent
to their doom at tine hands of an in
furiated mob of negroes at Sunny
Side, Walter county. Last fall a
gentleman rom Brennan was robbed
of $65 Suspicion pointed to four
boys named Thomas, and they con-
fessed to having committed the deed,
and said they had given $50 of he
money to Henry Daniel. [ i
spent the money, and on Sunday
evening last the four Thomas boys,
according to their confession, de-
cided to either collect their $50 or
kill Daniel They carried oat the
latter part Of the programme. Henry
Daniel, an old negro, lived at Sunny
Side in little hut with his step
daughter, Marie, aud Iyear. old
Child Wednesday night the house
was broken open, Marie Daniel and
the child assaulted and old man
Daniel cl1bbed TO death while trying
to protect those in his care. Then
the body of Daniel and his insensible
step daughter were thrown into' the
house and the structure fired. The
child was cast into the well. The
murderers then left, thinking that
,hey had covered up the awful deed
The fire had not attracted much at
,aption and when it was noticed that
Daniel and his family were missing,
Inc charred ruins of the house were
searched and the terrible truth was
soon made only 100 plain. Local
officers went to work and were ably
assisted by the best citizens of the
neighborhood Bloodhounds were
secured and they were not long in
finding the right track Before night
they were straight to the place where
the Thomas gang resided, and one
by one they we're secured-Fayette
Rhone, Will Gates. Thomas, Aaron,
Jim aud Ben Thomas The last four
are brothers VIII. Williams was
ais arrested, When taken all were
smeared with blood
The bloodhounds worked splendid
ly and after the murderers had been
confronted with the evidence Of their
crime they confessed to committing
the deed About - O'Clock mob
broke open the Jail and took the
prisoners towards the Brazos bottom
A little later 40 or so shots were
fred and the moo returned. This
morning. dangling from the limbs Of
a large oak, were found the bodies Of
six negroes The body of VIII
Gates Thomas was burned from the
waist down. Bloodhounds from all
over county are surging back and
forth but always find that one tree
the centre of attraction. All Of the
bodies are there except Williams. and
he is not to be found The shots
probably explain his absence.

The supply of exchange in the market

The volume of dealings to-day was
larger than on any previous day of the
year, the total sales of all stocks reach

thirds of that amount was absorbed by
Sugar and the grangers, Chicago Gas
and Bay State Gas.
There were $4,000 shares of Sugar and
about $4,000 shares each of st. Paul and
Burlington sold during the day. Sugar
and the grangers led the advance, but
the list generally reacted to below last

day. Sugar, however, rallied partially
with a gain of 11a. Rock Island is the
only one of the grangers to show a gain.
