To.DAY'S TELEGRApHIC NEWS
The Strike.

P1rTsBURe, Pa, Aug. 4.-The striking
miners gained another victory at Plum
Creek this morning by inducing TWEEN
ty more men to join the ranks. This
leaves the mine working with about
half the force of yesterday. One OF the
notable features of the strike has been
the absence of effort by the operators
to get their miners to work. There
has been no meeting by them to con.
slider the situation, nor has there been
any attempt to start mines with new
men. This was explained to-day by
an operator who said he is satisfied to
have the strike continue until January,
as he has enough coal to last him.
CANTON, Ohio, Aug. 4.-Over hun.
bred Osnaburg miners, headed by a
band, marched to North Industry to-
day and succeeded in inducing all the
miners to come out.
PITrsBURa, Pa, Aug. 4.-The miners
q, Schmock's mines, on the Redstone
branch of the Pennsylvania railroad,
came out to-day, and the mines are
once more closed down.
WHEELING. W. Va, Aug. 4.-The
strike in the Kanawha Valley is a fail
ure thus far. On the Norfolk and
Western there is nothing to indicate
that strike was ever ordered.

TRIAL OF COL. EASTMAN.

An unusual array of legal talent is at
Parsons, w. Va, awaiting the result Of
the Investigations of the special grand
jury in the case of Col. Robert W. East
ham, charged with killing Frank E.
Thompson. The State expects toprove
murder in the first degree, and the de-
Tense will attempt to show self-defense.
The grand jury at the regular June
term, after considering the case two
DAYS, found an indictment for involun.
tary manslaughter. Judge Holt set
aside the indictment and ordered the
special panel, which yesterday evening
failed to agree. Judge Holt ordered
the Jury to reassemble to-day. The
shooting which resulted in the death of
Thompson occurred at Parsons on
Thursday evening, March is. A large
number of citizens had been brought
down from Davis, W. Va to answer to
the charge of contempt of court.
Among them was Col. Eastman. Frank
E. Thompson accompanied the party
and good naturally leased some of his
friends who had gotten into the pre-
dicament. Eastman and Thompson
had long been political and per
sonal enemies. During the day, it
is alleged, Eastman said that Thomp-
son could not go back on the special
train which was to take the party TO
Davis. Thompson entered the car just
before Colonel Eastman, who went up
to Thompson and an alteration took
place. Thompson drew his revolver
and seven shots we're exchanged at
close range, Thompson firing four.
Eastman received flesh wounds on the
forehead and was struck on the side.
He fell as if dead, but his wounds
proved to be of a trivial character.
Thompson was shot in the thigh, arm
and abdomen. The intestines we're
perforated, and he died in the Western
Maryland Hospital, Cumberland, early
the following Saturday morning. Col
Eastman had an interesting career in
the Southern army. He was one of
Mosby's lieutenants aud was engaged
in many thrilling adventures. He was
q man of intrepid courage and great
physical strength, and at his home, In
Davis, he is very popular. At the time
of his death Thompson was estimated
to be worth $3.50, 900. He was native
of Norway, Me-, thirty-two years of
age, and went to Davis six years ago.
He was 8 practical lumberman and
made his own fortune, refusing aid from
his father after leaving college. He
was yery popular.

MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich, Aug. A.
During last night several men in white
suits. armed with pots of red paint and
brushes, painted over wall which had
been covered with signs advertising the
virtues of mineral springs in Indiana
which are rivals of the Mount Clemens
springs. This morning nothing was
there but an expanse of dark red. The
agent OF Chicago advertising firm had
leased several dead walls in this city
for purposes OF advertising the Indiana
springs. This aroused fierce opposi-
ton from the public and officers of the
bath city. Once fence was erected to
hide the rival signs; another time the
sheriff stopped the advertising men
from painting wall. The foreign ad.
vertisers will continue to fight, and
they threaten Injunction proceedings.

The PRICE of sugar has advanced

gar is to stimulate the production o:
beet sugar. Why, giving man stone

sugar, but, before they can have that
