Plan to Repienish the Strikers
Treasury.

Plttsburg, Aug. 23.-ReIigious services
were held in several of the strikers
camps yesterday and all were largely
attended, but notwithstanding the re-
liglous spirit pervading the camps a
conflict between workers and strikers
took place i'm 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 and Cleveland Gas Coal
company went to William Seamon's IS
boarding house, about one and half
miles from Oak Hill tipple, where a
number of strikers are quartered for
the purpose Of persuading the strikers
to go to work. The meeting was a
stormy one, and resulted in Antonio
Podasky being shot near the heart, the
bullet going almost through his body.
Grongron Pimold was shot in the eye
and Botiete Dalmeso was cut with a
razor. The injured men are all strikers.
The aggressive workmen escaped be-
fore the men on the Oak Hill camp
were aware of the fight.
In addition to the general missionary
work for the week the leaders have
decided to direct especial work to the

Miss Winnie Barrett is prepossessing
young lady, aged II years, who resides at
Lost Creek who occasionally becomes a great
puzzle to the medical fraternity. She is
subject to falling into trance, in which .he
remains for days, and battles the skill of the
best physicians, On Thursday last she fell
asleep, and has remained unconscious mp to
this time. DR.. Monaghan, of Girardville,
was summoned, who is applying the same
treatment and remedies he used in her case
some five months ago, when she fell asleep
and did not awaken for "A week afterward
During all that time she was unable to take
nourishment. The physicians are undecided
as to the cause Of this unnatural sleep.

! prevention of operations at the Sandy
Creek mine. The strikers say that they
will resume their marching tactics,
claiming that under the ruling of Judge
Goff, in the West Virginia cases, they
are given this right.
Samuel DeArmitt says that $50 to
175 men are at work in the Plum Creek
mine today. 1t is announced that the
New York and Cleveland Gas Coal com
pany win make eight more evictions
today from eight different company
houses. 1t is not probable that there
Will be any trouble.
The sheriff does not say what course
he will pursue should marching begin,
but thinks he is ready to meet every
emergency.
Sympathy for the strikers by the
farmers and citizens is not diminish
ing in the least. Yesterday there were
about 700 visitors to the camp at Sandy
Creek, many Of the farmers who came
bringing wagon loads Of provisions
Citizens Of New Texas sent word that
they had plenty of food for the men,
and wanted them to call on them when
needed.
The developments will be watched
sides were apparently at rest yester-
day, but it was developed that at the
conference today there will probably
be a disruption. BY many it is be-
lieved that M. u. Ratchford the ma
tional president of the miners or
ganization, win not be present 1t is
claimed that he win stick to his orlgi-
nal assertion that he win not agree to
arbtrate unless all the states in
volved are represented, It is a well
known fact that the operators of other
states will not join the local operators
In the movement for arbitration. If
Ratchford is obdurate the conference
will be useless.
From a reliable source is was learned
that If the operators start mines on
the lines laid down other mines will
also be started by the miners. 1t is
| proposed to select operators who arc
not represented at the conference, and
who are friendly to the miners, They
| will be given permission to mine coal
| at the rate demanded and the coal
/ stored. By this means it is expected
to get a fund from the union miners
that happen to be working, and with
this fund pay the expenses of a fight
against imported labor, The miners
officials are making arrangements to
have a fund on nand TO send foreign
labor home just as fast as it arrives,
with mines operated under the juris-
diction of the labor leaders, and with
operators that are friendly, who reap
a profit, they hope 90 have available
a large fund. This plan has been out
lined and viii be submitted to the
national officials if the conference
proves a failure,

HORRIBLE DEATH.
An Almost Unreoognizable Mass OF Flesh
and Bones the Result.

and Bones the Result.
A heartrending and distressing scene was
occasioned in South Pear alley this morning
when one of the ambulances of the p. s. r.
c. & 1. Co. halted at the residence Of Mrs.
Felix Meculski. 1t contained the dead body
of her husband, who was at the Knicker-
booker colliery an hour before. The widow
was almost distracted by grief. Mrs. Mculski
is the mother of several children.
The husband left home for his work early
this morning. Shortly after starting work
he prepared a heavy charge for blast lie
inserted the squib, but whether he shortened
it or not could not be learned. No sooner
had he applied the match than the charge
exploded, not even allowing the victim time
to turn around and seek place Of safety
The entire charge struck him in the face and
the upper part Of the body. When the re-
mains Of the man were laid bare at his resi-
dence it WAS almost impossible to recognize
them as that of human being. The face
was crushed in and presented horrible mass
of battered bones and torn pieces of flesh
thickly cotted with blood. His neck was
also broken.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS
Ocala FayOrs Municipal Ownership
And Give Reasons Therefor

| To the Editor Of the Star:
| desire to state through the
columns of your paper a few rea-
sons why the city of Ocala should
own her electric light plant.
Every city should own her elec-
trio light and water plants. The
first reason is that any city can
borrow money at such a low rate
of interest, if they have not suffi-
Gent surplus on hand, to build
these plants with, which saves
the tax payer at least one-half.
There is no use to discuss the wa
ter works question at present, as
the most important issue before
us now is whether the city shall
own it's own electric light plant
or not. The date set for this
election is the 18th of this month.
Every citizen who can vote and
who is interested in the upbuild-
ing and welfare of Jour little city
should step up to the polls on the
10th and cast his vote for city
ownership of electric light plant.
The General Electric Company
may think that the people believe
that they are losing money on
their plant, but they are very
much mistaken, as no one will op-
crate or run any kind of business
at a loss. The General Electric
Co. also stated some months ago,
before the election was held for
the voters to ratify the electric
light contract which was defeated,
that if they (the General Electric
Co.. did not receive the contract
for the city lighting (Which was
for three years. they would be
compelled to move their plant
from the city. The contract was
defeated, the General Electric Co.
here doing business at the
same old stand, and if they were
losing money as they said they
were doing, why is it they are
here yet? | will answer that
question: Because they are max
ing nice income from the plant
and they know good thing when
they have it, AID they also know
by this time that bluffs will not
work.
! Well now if the General Elec-
trio Company can make good
income from the plant, why cam
not the city Of Ocala do the same
or even better. A plant can be
built for SIS, 900, which will be a
much better one than. the one
owned by the General Electric
Company. The city can operate
it on cheaper basis and thereby
save a snug little sum. The con-
sumers will get their lights much
cheaper, the city can have more
for less money than it is now pay
ing, and own it's own plants thus
saving the tax payers many un-
necessary dollars. Some may
say there is no money to buy the
plant. Borrow the money at q
small rate of interest, say 6 per
Icent, which would only be 5000 a
year and the income from COM
mercial lighting would pay the
operating expenses of the plant,
and the city would be getting
more and better street lights for
5000 a year, than it is now, pay
ing $4,000 year for, besides
owning it's own plant Every
! citizen should think the matter
, over between now and the 10th,
then step up to the polls and
| vote for city ownership of cleo
trio light plant. OCALAS.
