Matrimonial.

On yesterday at - o'clock, m, Miss
Lizzie O. Brown, daughter of Mr.. O. Nj.
Brown, was united in marriage with MIR.
Houston w. Crockett. The marriage
took place at the residence of the brides
father, in the Cove, and was witnessed by
a large number of friends and relatives of
the contracting parties. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. j. N. Johnson.
The bride was beautifully dressed in a
handsome white silk and looked charm
ingly, while the groom was dressed in
regulation black. There were no atten-
dants as the marriage was quiet one, and
had not been announced until few days
previoCs. Miss Agnes Brown, sister of the
bride looked very pretty as flower girl,
walking in front of the bride as she entered
the parlor where the ceremony was per-
formed. After the usual congratulations
the bridal party and guests were invited
into the dining room where sumptuous
repast was spread and WAS heartily enjoyed
bv all, the editor of the REPUBLICAN being
so fortunate rs to be among the number.
Early in the afternoon the b'ldal couple
left for Crockett's Cove, the home OF MIR.

BIG STRIKE OF MINERS.
1t is Estimated that 100000 Men Have
0uit Work,

President Ratchford, Of the United
Mine Workers, has ordered a general strike
of the miners belonging TO his association,
and the order has been complied with in
Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, Western Pennsyl-
va.lia and in sections of West Virginia and
Kentucky. 1t is estimated that over 200,-
900 men have joined the strike. The
movement is for higher scale of wages.
A similar strike was made in 1894 but was
practically q failure, as the miners con-
tnued to work in many localities, notably
West Virginia. During the strike of 1894
trouble was caused by the shipment of
West Virginia coal to various points in
Ohio, the minels making efforts to stop
the traffic. The railroad companies made
an appeal TO the State for protection and
almost the entire Ohio National Guard was
put in the field.
If the strike attains the proportions lis
leaders and directors claim that it will, it
will be calculated to add largely to the out
put of the mines at Pocahontas and on The
Elkhorn, if there is no strike at these
points.
A telegram from Columbus, Ohio, says:
"Reports at hand indicate the strike order
to the pliners was generally obeyed except
in West Virginia, Eastern Ohio and North
western Kentucky. The Spring Valley
mining district is entirely closed. Order
prevailed everywhere today andno trouble
is anticipated for some time, and there
will be no trouble unless efforts are made
to work the mines with non-union labor.
About $4,000 men actually quit work TO-
day."
If the strike continues we may conf
IDENTIFY expect the same results that have
attended similar movements in the past.
The operators will try to use non-union
men and there will be lawless efforts made
by the union men to prevent the non-union
men from working That the strikers will
be benefited is almost impossible. Such
movements are almost always attended
with failure.

Pardons Offered Cubans.

HAVANA, July 5.-Captain General
Weyler, after his arrival at sancti Spiritus,
Province of Santa Clara, issued procla-
nation to the insurgents and pac;icos,
saying that the approaching Inauguration
of the scheme of reforms for Cuba was
more important than the insurreciionary
movements in the Province ofSanta Clara,
adding:
Therefore, will pardon all who sur
render with or without arms. They may
give themselves up at any military sta
ton by making signs with handkerchief,
so that the troops may know of their in
tentions to surrender. Those who surren'
der with arms will receive provisions
and will be employed on the public works.
Those who bring in cattle or horses with
them may keep tie animals or sell them"

Smyth County, is circulating among his

Boies Is Sensible.
Richmond Times.)


The Hon. Horace Boies, of Iowa, is a
little off, as we pointed out yesterday, on
his currency scheme but he is wiser than
his silver brethren when he says that the
16 to l proposition is dead issue and
cannot possibly win in 1900.
At the present market price of silver
bullion, the silver dollar is worth only
about 4G. &C., and to say that by single
act of Legislature its value can be at once
increased to 1OOc. is SO manifestly absurd
that Mr. 3oies, though an ardent silver
advocate, is not willing longer to commit
himself to that proposition.
Mr.. Boies has left tie sinking ship, and
we think that many others will follow his
example within the early future. 1t is
the beginning ofthe end. Free coinage
