HAzLEToN, Sept 10, $3.50 p. m.-Contrary
to expectations, everything is very quiet
here to-day. There is no excitement of any
kind among the strikers and things are fast
assuming their normal state. 1t WIS expected
the ranks Of the strikers would be greatly
reinforced, but information received at this
hour from the various collieries shows that
the rumOred strike was without foundation
| 1t is true a small ripple of excitement ap-
peared upon the surface on the South Side
this morning when seventy five women, fol-
lowed by number Of men, swooped down on
the Star and Monarch washeries, operated by
individuals, and compelled the men to quit
work. The women chased the men from the
washeries and then closed the doors. These
washeries employ about fifty men. A com
pany Of infantry was dispatched to the scene.
but no encounter took place. A company Of
cavalry was ordered out. but this order was
subsequently, countermanded
Those at the hospital are doing as we'll as
can be expected No additional deaths have
been recorded, and the recovery of all the
patients, with the exception of two who are
in precarious condition, is confidently
expected. No change has been made in the
position of the troops.
1t is reported that the operations are not
anxious to adjust the strike, for the reason
that there is no demand for coal. There is
little truth in this rumor. From careful OBJ
servation, and from what can be cleaned
from those in position to know, it can be
stated thar the companies are only to glad to
adjust the difficulty. Enforced idleness, it is
estimated, means at least 81 900 per month
expenditure at each colliery, and no returns.

shot Yesterday.

The first damage inflicted by the little
boys air gun in town was recorded yesterday
The victim was John Thomas, a driver fol
Stull & Co., of Mahanoy City. He was
driving his team down West Coal street
when he was suddenly startled by receiving a
full discharge of buckshot on the right side
of the face. 1t proved to be the work of two
small boys who had been shooting at
sparrOws. Mr.. Thomas Immediately jumped
from his wagon and put both boys under
crOss-cxamination, but was unable to detect
the one by whom the gun was discharged
The victims flesh was laid open in several
places and the cheek where the shot fell
heaviest was considerably swollen. Should
blood poison set in the result would be
serious. More care should be exercised by
the shooters and the police authorities should
put an abrupt stop to this dangerous sport.

with heavy material set in around the
arInholes and down the sides as stays

attaclied the buttons or books that sus-
tain the weight of the skirt.
1T is absolute suicide to hitch these
things upon the ordinary corset. That

peoplc who could not be induced to
put shoulder straps on growing chill
