CLASH BETWEEN THE STRIKERS
AND DEPUTY SHERIFFS.
serious Trouble Almost Precipifafed
nv the Sheriff and His Deputies
while Executing the Injunctions
of the COurt-Injury Inflicted on
one of the strikers by a Deputy
sheriff Enrages His Comrades.

pittsburg. Aug. 14-Injunctions by
the court have put stop 10 IllarcheS
by the striking miners against the new
York & Cleveland Gas Coal company
for a time at least. But in the execu-
tion of the iniunctions the sheriff ana
his deputies narrowly escaped preclpl-
tating serious trouble. AS 1t was, tue
first blood of the strike was Sneu.
Henry Stewart, one of the deputles'
struck Jacob Mott a drummer or the
Mcdonald band, with the edge OF d
brass horn and cut a severe gasn
above hiseye. The sight OF the Dlood
wrought ND the 1000 idle miners 10
such q pitch that a desperate conflcC
was imminent. The deputies also were
excited and noisy. The strikers were
ieering and yelling and urging a FUR
tber rush down the road. In the CROWD
there were enough angry strikers TO
annihilate four times the force or OF
ficers on the ground. Capt. Belllng-
ham, Sheriff Lowry, Chief deputy
James Richards and Supt. De Armltt
were the only cool men in the assem-
blage. To them belongs the credit OF
avoiding a riot. When Belllngnam
saw there was danger of his men get
ting geyond his control he commanded
q halt ana addressed uIIHSc1L " ChC
task of restraining the more belllger-
ent. SO well were his efforts directed
that he soon had restored order. Sher-
iff Lowry had difficult task to per-
form but he handled it we'll, and by
his GOODNESS and good nature did much
to neutraliZe the bitterness and strife
invited by the behavior OF his sub
ordinates The strikers finally retired
h00 n
where the officers held a conference
with their attorney, and he advised
them to quit marching until the court
had heard the arguments next Mon
day, President Dolan then issued or
ders that no marches should be made
on any of the mines of the New York
& Cleveland Gas Coal company until
further orders, although a march may
be made against other places. Two
meetings will be held at Plum Creek
at which addresses will be made by
George Harris, of the Central Pennsyl-
vania field Mrs. Jones of Chicago,
William Warner and Cameron Miller.
In order to more thoroughly fortify
his position Sheriff Lowry has sworn
in twenty additional deputies. So
long as the men simply camp where
they are, without marching to the
mines and interfering with the men
going to and from work they will not
be disturbed.

"A Texas paper says that Texas
is still third in hogs, of all the
states in the Union. In few years
she will be first. Iowa now comes
first with 3,737,970, Missouri next
with 3,O74,329, and Texas third with
2,944,065. Texas has $50, 403 more hogs
than Ohio, 694664 more than Illinois,
1.2S4,343 more than Kansas and 1885,
1874 more than Nebraska. AS COM
pared with last year Iowa shows de-
crease of 1,116,537, Missouri a de-
crease of 95,082, Ohio a decrease OF
III, 964, Illinois a decrease of 1889
Kansas a decrease of 1875, Nebraska
a decrease of 25,795 and Texas de-
crease Of 81 ,O54, which shows that this
good state is still in the business OF
raising hogs, and with this years feed
crop this will be amply demonstrated.

A heather sculptor, who had carved
a colossal statue, continued SO long at
work upon the crown of the giants
head that his admirers grew impa-
tient. "You are wasting your labor,
they said. What need is there that
YOU should chisel every hair? No one
will ever look so high, and the pains
YOU are taking will never be appre-
ciated." The sculptor only answered:
ct must be perfect; the gods can see. :
No better argument than the notice OF
Omniscience could be given for OBJ
scure perfection. Flowers come to fin
ished bloom and beauty in wilder
nesses where no eye of man ever look
ed. In the conduct of life small per-
fections show character, for they
spring from higher fidelity than hui
man eye-service. HE that is faithful
in little is faithful also in much.

THE LIGHT IN THE KLYAOL
Denver Inventor's Idea FOR the Bsnent or
Men Who Get Home Late.

Denver Inventor'o Idea FOR the Benent or
Men yvho Get Home Late.
The need OF an easy way of finding an elusive
keyhole at night has frequently impressed It.
self upon men in many parts Of the world, and
even women have run across this difficulty at
times. Inventors have tried TO make II easier
for person to get into his own house, and only
recently a lock WAS described In THE SUN which
could be worked by merely turning knob back
and forth a certain number of times.
Out In Denver an inventor has come to the
rescue with device which he has patented.
His scheme Is to illuminate the keyhole. To do
this he puts a small incandescent electric lamp
within the lock not far from the keyhole. This
lamp Ia connected with an electric circuit
through contRcts made between the lock and
the door frame by means OF the latch and
small button. which Is pushed against the lock
by spring when the door 10 shut. This circuit
within the lock Is broken, and a push button,
which can complete II, is inserted In the outer
face of the lock, and this runs through the door.
The man who comes home late at night has
merely to push this button ana the lamp gloWs
and makes the keyhole shine out brightly In the
darkness. Then II tho man can find his night
key ani handle II he viii nave no further diff
Guilty In getting IN.
There seems to be only one thing lacking for
his comfort. That Is q device to make 1t sure
that the man will not see two or more shining
keyholes when he touches the button.
