Mark the Sabbath Day In the strikers
Camps Around Pittsburgh.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. 23.-Religious
services were held in the strikers sew
eral camps yesterday and all were
largely attended, but notwithstanding
the religious air ~pervading the camps,
a conflict between workers and strik-
ers took place in the afternoon. during
which three strikers were badly hurt,
but none are in a serious condition.
Five of the men who are working
for the New York & Cleveland Gas
Coal Co. yesterday afternoon went to
William Seaman's boarding house,
about one-half mile from Oak Hill tip
pie, where a number of strikers are
quartered, for the purpose of persuad-
ing the strikers to go to work.
The meeting was a stormy one, and
resulted in Antonio Podaskv being shot
near the heart, the bullet going almost
through his body. Grongron Pimold
was shot in the eye and Batiste Dali
masses was cut with a razor. The in
jured men are all strikers.
This vas the only disturbance re-
corded at the camps yesterday. The
aggressive workmen escaped before the
men on the Oak Hill camp were aware
of the fight.
The report that Sandy Creek camp
will be abandoned is denied by the
strikers, anG they say that the men
will be sent there from Plum Creek and.
Turtle Creek.
In addition to the general missionary
work for the week, the leaders nave
decided to direct especial work to the
prevention of operations at the Sandy
Creek mine. The strikers say they
will resume their marching tactics
this morning, claiming hat under the
ruling of Judge Golf in the West Vir-
ginia cases they are given this right.
The sheriff does not say what course
he will pursue this morning should
marching begin. but thinks he is ready
to meet every emergency.
Samuel De ArmItt says that $50 to
17a men will be at work in the Plum
Creek mine to-day.
1t is announced that the New York
& Cleveland Coal and Gas Co. will
make eight more evictions to-day from
eight different company houses. Il is
not probable there will be any trouble.
Sympathy for the strikers bv the
farmers and citizens is not diminishino
in the least. Yesterday there were
about 700 visitors to the camp at Sandy
Creek, many of the farmers who came
bringing wagonloads of provisions.
Citizens of New Texas sent word hal
they had plenty Of food for the men.
snd wanted than to call on them.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Aug. aS.-Buffalo is
all ready for the army of veterans who
are on their way here to attend the
thirty-irst annual encampment OF the
Grand Army of the Republic. During
the night hundreds of veterans and
their friends arrived. and to-day they
are coming in by thousands. 1t is es-
timated hat nearly 5000 strangers
were in town yesterday, and that from
Is, 200 to 20, 900 came in to-day.
The various railroads entering Buff
falo report that in addition to the hun
dreds of regular trains, schedules have
been prepared for PAS specials to arrive
here by Tuesday noon.
Among the prominent arrivals are
j. Cory Winans. of Commander-in-
Chief Clarkson's staff; j. S. Lewis,
past junior vice-commander, and DAN
ial Ross, of Wilmington, Del, a candi-
date for junior vice-commander-in.
chief.
Camp Jewett, as the city of tents is
known, is all ready for its inhabitants,
and while it will not be formally
opened until four o'clock this af-
ternoon, a number of posts are al
ready installed. Ample arrangements
have been made at the camp and else
where for the care of the sick. Three
hospital tents have been erected ut
Camp Jewett, each in charge of con-
petent staff of physicians.
The honor of flying the first pen
nent from any tent at Camp jew
EFT belongs to Reno post, No. Ga,
of Williamsport, Pa. A detach-
ment of IL members arrived yes
terday, who were assigned to tents 81
90. Clayton p. White, of W~iIliamsport,
was the first veteran to arrive, and he
is quartered on the steamer Idaho,
which has been assigned to the naval
posts.
Among the later announcements of
candidates to succeed Commander-in-
Chief Clarkson, are the names of John
c. Linehan, of New Hampshire,
George H. Innis, of Massachusetts, j.
IL. Sexton, of Chicago, and James p.
Goblin, of Pennsylvania.
Col. Winans, of Commander-in-Chief
Clarkson's staff. estimates the number
of visitors TO Buffalo during the week
at 200, 900, making the largest encamp-
ment ever held.
In speaking of the choice of the
veterans for the next encampment,
Col. Winans said that so far as his
information went there was but one
choice among the delegates and that
was Cincinnati. There seems TO be
a feeling. he said. among some of
the eastern people that San Francisco
wants the encampment, but this is a
mistake. San Francisco is preparing
to make a bid IN 1899.
With regard to the encampment be-
ing held in Richmond, Va, he asserted
that there is nothing in it. The peo-
pie down there do not want it. and
the veterans do not care to go there.
The chief objection, he said. was the
certainty of unpleasant complications
over the color line.
Col. Winans says Pennsylvania will
send the most people to the encamp-
ment, with New York second and Ohio
third in attendance.
