STRIKERS ENJOINED.
Forbidden to Interfere with Diggers-
Situation in PennsyIvania.


PITTSBURG. July 26.-This afternoon
Rufus c. Crawford, owner of the Bunola
mines, went into court and secured a pre-
iiminary injunction restraining the miners
officials and strikers from interfering with
the employees or congregating about the
mines. The hearing was set for Saturday.
President Dolan said the miners officials
would not attempt to fight the injunction.
They were not hunting trouble, he said, and
would not deliberately violate the law. The
sheriff of Westmoreland county has been
called on for deputies to protect the miners
at the Rostraver mines at webster. The
Webster Company proposes to start with
nonunion miners tomorrow or Wednesday.
Miners officials DoIan and Warner have
assured the sheriff that the strikers had
no intention of marching on the mines OF
the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal
Company. President Dolan said it was not
intended to lose the sympathy of the pub
lie by any ill-advised display of force. AT
the meeting on Thursday" said he, we
want no crowd from other points. We want
only our speakers and De Armitts men
there, and it is my opinion that this plan
will be successful. If we get a good meet
ing | think We can show to the public and
the other miners that De ArmittS men still
have manhood enough Ieft IN them TO come ONE
under our standard and join the strike. We
have told the sheriff that our intentions are
peaceable and he believes us. We, there
fore, will not be interfered with by MIN or
his deputies"
A body of one thousand miners carrying
heavy clubs marched to the Castle shannon
mines. at Oak Station, where about forty
men We're working, and prevailed upon
them to come out There was no disorder.
Everything is quiet at the mine of Cook
& Sons at Cannonsburg this evening. The
mine was running to-day, but very little
coal was brought out. The strikers made
but little effort to induce the men to re-
main out to-day. The strikers cannot safe
ly trespass on the companys property and
the miners who are working keep so close
to the mine that the strikers cannot reach
them. About two hundred strikers from
Millers Run arrived at the camp at Nc
Govern this afternoon by way OF Plum
run and HoustonVille. About forty more
arrived this evening from Bishop. They
brought large quantity of provisions to
the camp. About one hundred strikers re-
turned home this evening. A number OF
small girls whose fathers are encamped at
McGoVern made canvass of the town TO
secure supplies to-day. They secured quite
large quantity of food. The injunction
against the miners officials and others OBJ
tained at Cannonsburg last Thursday was
made permanent to-day.

TOPEKA, Kan, July 26.-A movement is
on foot among the insurance superntend-
ents of the Western States to join hands in
a wholesale investigation of the financial
condition of the various Eastern fire and

NO FUEL FAMINE.
over Six Million Bushels of Coal on
Barges at Pittsburg.

PITTSBURG. July 26.-Judging by the
present state of the local coal market, a
famine in fuel is not likely to occur. even
though the strike should last several
months longer AS a. matter of fact the
market is overstocked and demand has only
slightly increased. At least 100000 bushels
of river coal are now lying in the upper
pools, about 100000 bushels having been
consumed and shipped during the past three
weeks The railroads are bringing in large
quantities every day from West Virginia
and mines east of Pittsburg. One shipment
of sixty-seyen carloads came in over the
to-day. Operators could give no estimate
on the total amount now in hand but they
say the supply is very great and daily in
cleasing.

PITTSBURG, Pa, July 26.-The mining
situation in this district is quiet and un-

result of the meeting tomorrow of the
operators. The arbitrators are highly

While large number are not
in favor of the old uniformity
phase the peace commissioners have given
the subject. Some are decidedly opposed
to uniformity, but all are in favor of arbi-
tratiOn for settlement of the strike. The
board is busy completing the contract
which is to be presented TO the meeting to-
morrow at the courthouse. No one can at
this time predict the outcome OF the con-
ference, which is expected TO last two and
perhaps three days. Col. w. T. Rend, the
Chicago operator, while heartily favoring
arbitration, says the true uniformity move
ment is a humbug. If the meeting to-mor-
row is not for the purpose of settling the
strike by arbitration he will not attend,
as he will not lend his support to d plan
to bring about a settlement when uniform
ity is established. Operator James w.
Shields voiced similar sentiments and de-
clared that he would not participate in the
uniformity movement.
Senator Hanna was in the city to-day.
In speaking of the efforts to settle the
strike by arbitration, he said: Il am in
favor of any plan that will better the con-
dition of the men; that is the main point of
the situation. That their condition needs
betterment everybody knows and l will give
my hearty support and cooperation to any
movement looking toward that end. Pres

ST. LOUIS, July 26-One hundred of the
marching strikers who are operating under
the leadership of Bradley, Coxeyite, tried
to seize an Illinois Central freight train
at Bellevlle, Ill, tonight. They were
driven off by a sheriffs posse. When the 9:15
fast train slowed up at Belleville the band
of strikers boarded it and declared their
intention of riding to the LenZburg and
Marissa mines, where they wished to inau-
gurate strike. The crew refused to carry
the strikers and halted the train at the de-

Inconsistencies i'm the New LAW.

WASHINGTON, July 26-The treasury
officials already have discovered a number
of Inconsistencies in the new tariff act
some of them, it is feared being incapable
of reconciliation. 1t is pointed out that Sec
tion 262 places the duty on plums at %
cents per bushel and Section 264 fixes the
rate at 25 cents per pound. An error in
these paragraphs to currants was cor
rected in conference. Another section fixes
the rate of duty on hides of cattle at Is
per cent. ad valorem, and admits raw skins
free. The question involved is the classifi-
cation of calfskins. it being contended that
commercially. calfskins are not classed
as hides of cattle, and hence are entitled
to free entry, which is believed TO be con-
trary 10 the purpose of Congress. Atten-
ton is also called TO the fact that the pro-
vision as TO licenses for customs brokers
was by lnadvertence, it is believed left
out of the act. Circulars are in prepara-
ton constituting number of sections of the
act. Persons entering this country are per-
mitted under certain restrictions to bring
with them duty free usual and reasonable
furniture. This is interpreted to mean
such furniture would be reasonable and
useful for the personal use of persons in
their condition of life.

A West Virginia citizen has set a noble
example in practical philanthropy to the
bachelors of the country. He read in the
papers about the number of destitute people
in Chicago and his heart was moved. He
was not SO much disturbed by the suffer-
ings Of the men, and was confident that
somebody would look after children, but it
brought tears to his eyes to think that
there were women in that great cold city
who were lacking the comforts of life and
could get work. He, being a prosperous
farmer, was in position to provide plenty
of both to one woman, and determined to
extend his charitable hand, to say nothing
of his heart, in that direction. Thereupon
he wrote to the chief of police of Chicago
and offered to marry good woman whom
that functonary might select from the
ranks of the starving and send to him.
The chief who received the letter only
a few days or so ago, has not yet had time
to look up an eligible woman. but is much
pleased with the plan and will at once open
a matrimonial bureau in connection with
relief work if the example of the West Vir-
ginia gentleman is followed extensively.
No doubt it will meet with the approval of
a large number of gentlemen similarly sit
uated. Nearly every man is of benevolent
disposition and is only prevented by his
circumstances from carrying out his amia-
BILE ideas. Comparatively few. for example
can establish home or refuge for INDECENT
and helpless women in general but any
man not already provided with helpmate
can marry one specific woman. and to that
extent lessen the number to be cared for
by the public. 1t is obvious that if every
man would do this the work of charity
and one of their most troublesome prob
lens solved. If, instead of trying TO find
employment for women when women
are needed the secretary could run his fin
ger down a list of eligible single men who
wanted wives and assign one TO each needy
woman who presented herself there would
undoubtedly be far less difficulty in making
the views OF charity TT with those of the
persons aided. 1t is well known that the
persons who seek public charity are often
quite exacting in their requirements, and
il is not an easy matter TO satisfy them
Women. in particular. hard to suit and
are not always ready 10 accept industrial
openings offered them. Where they are
not already provided with husbands it is
reasonable to suppose that they would look
with greater favor upon the prospecl of
taking legal charge of a prosperous man
and his house than in accepting a mental
position in another woman's home. To be
sure there would be none of the prelimi-
nary pleasures of courtship. but the woman
in tho case might waive them under the cir
