RumOrs at Jacksonville That the Gunboat is
in Danger.
Jacksonville, July ga sensa-
tional rumor was IN circulation today
regarding the United States gunboat
Wilmington. which is lying in the
river off Liberty street.
The rumor was that the gunboat
was on fire in her coal bunkers and
that the crew were vigorously fighting
the flames.
Some color was given this rumor by
the fact that the public were notified
that they would not be allowed to
visit the vessel until Saturday.
The report of the fire was also fur
ther strengthened by fire drill that
the seamen were put through this
morning.
The report was not generally be-
lieved, although the officers refused to
allow anyone aboard or alongside.

SHOTS AND RIOTS.
Four Thousand Men March to
Attend the Big Con-
ference.
OFFICERS WITH WINCHESTERS.
Exciting Scenes at DeArmitt's Mines, Near
Pittsburg Eugene Debs the
Chief Speaker.

Pittsburg, July 29.-Oak Hill was
invaded last night by an army of
strikers who came 70 attend the mass
meeting to be held near DeArmitt's
mines today, and by daybreak several
thousand miners were camped on the
hills surrounding the property of the
New York and Cleveland Gas and
Coal company. They came from every
direction, headed by brass bands.
Nearly all of the men carried heavy
walkingsticks and some were armed.
The men were supplied with food for
twenty days. In the valley leading
from Turtle creek to one of the New
York and Cleveland mines the COM
pany kept powerful searchlight
shifting about in hopes OF thanking any
movement of the strikers to get with
in reach of the mines unknown to the
deputies, who guard every approach.
About o'clock 1900 strikers assem-
bled at Turtle creek and, headed by
three brass bands, with flags and ban
ners flying, marched passed the house
occupied by DeArmitt's miners.
The strikers hooted and yelled and
then marched to the mines where they
planted themselves before the pits
compelling DeArmitt's men to run the
gantlet in order to get to work. A
short time later Sheriff Lowry, who
bad been wired for assistan ce, arrived
from Pittsburg with 80 deputies armed
with WInchesters. The strikers quiet
Iy withdrew and the new deputies
were placed on guard. Everything is
quiet now.
When the meeting was called to or
der at 10 O'Clock there were 1000
striking miners in attendance and be-
fore it was well under way there were
5000 people In the vicinity. About
s 80 o'clock 250 miners from the Sandy
creek mines marched to the meeting
and large number came from Turtle
creek.
When the strikers reached Plum
creek and started on a run down the
road toward Tipple to catch the men
before entering the mine, five shots
were fired from Winchesters by depu-
ties. In reply to this salute the corps
struck up lively air, but no return
shots were fired. The miners, who
were hurrying into the pit, were over
taken and asked not to go to work. The
most of them said they were afraid they
would lose their jobs if they remained
away from work to attend the meeting.
They decided after a short parley to
60 on to the mine. The miners we're
carrying dinner buckets. AS they
turned to leave the strikers their din
ner buckets were taken from them :.
The frightened miners, without stop
ping or attempting to regain the
buckets, ran tor the pit and did not
stop until they were behind the shell
ter of the deputies. The mine is in
full operation.
Debs made the principal speech at
the meeting today.

Sad Death at Cumberland of Mrs. WOOten, Of
Albany,
Mrs. G. B. WoOten, of Albany, Ca,
was attacked with heart disease while
under the shower bath at the ladies'
bathhouse at Cumberland Wednesday
afternoon about o'clock, and was
carried in semi-unconsclous condl-
tion to her room at the hotel, where
she died in about five minutes.
Mrs. Wooten had been in the surf,
and, the water being unusually rough,
she complained of feeling unwell and
went to the bathhouse, where she took
a shower bath. The shock of the cold
water was too much for her and she
tainted. Medical aid was admins
tered by DR.. Hillsman of Albany, who
was present, but his aid proved un-
availing.
Mrs. Wooten's two daughters are
with her at the hotel, and the family
has the sympathy of ali who are now
at the hotel. The affair has cast q
gloom over the entire community.
The remains were brought to Bruns-
wick yesterday afternoon, and left
last night for Albany, where they
will be inferred.
